HN's policy [1] (in place for several years) is that articles are only allowed if they can be read without a subscription.

Paywalled sites are OK, if there is a known workaround - usually someone will post this in the comments.

If the paywall is impenetrable for that article, it shouldn't appear on HN, and you should flag the post and alert the mods via email (hn@ycombinator.com).

By the way, you'll get negative reactions to complaints like this, as this question has been raised and discussed countless times before on HN, and people get bored of seeing the same discussion over and over. The policy HN has adopted is considered to be imperfect, but the least-worst option.

Looking at your site, I’m confused by two of the features:

It says “Zero trust” and “Identity via SSO”. Given that the WireGuard protocol operates on keypairs, if I’m identifying via SSO, what system is converting my authorization into a keypair? How are existing devices in my network gaining my public key to communicate with me? The description of “Zero trust” given also doesn’t really align with the actual definition of zero trust ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Trust ); the description talks about device visibility.

Abstract:

> Predatory behavior and top-down effects in marine ecosystems are well-described, however, intraguild interactions among co-occurring marine top predators remain less understood, but can have far reaching ecological implications. Killer whales and white sharks are prominent upper trophic level predators with highly-overlapping niches, yet their ecological interactions and subsequent effects have remained obscure. Using long-term electronic tagging and survey data we reveal rare and cryptic interactions between these predators at a shared foraging site, Southeast Farallon Island (SEFI). In multiple instances, brief visits from killer whales displaced white sharks from SEFI, disrupting shark feeding behavior for extended periods at this aggregation site. As a result, annual predations of pinnipeds by white sharks at SEFI were negatively correlated with close encounters with killer whales. Tagged white sharks relocated to other aggregation sites, creating detectable increases in white shark density at Ano Nuevo Island. This work highlights the importance of risk effects and intraguild relationships among top ocean predators and the value of long-term data sets revealing these consequential, albeit infrequent, ecological interactions.
Me? mostly reaching out through a decent personal network. Did some event sponsorships, didn't do advertising. Blogged, but not relentlessly. Didn't seek media coverage.

Were I to do it again I’d pick 2–3 topics to master and blog, tweet, guest post, relentlessly. Reuse, rewrite, repost the same essay and commentary dozens of times. Get quoted in press and other media coverage. Follow media coverage looking for potential clients, dig into those clients and master all the public information about those clients.

I didn't do any of that.
if a platform which stores information about current 0days in their system get's pwned by an OWASP top-10 it should be considered gross negligence on their part. this isn't the security researchers fault but HackerOne trying to spin the story to their advantage. Absolutely disgusting, but I wouldn't expect anything else from them.

We should agree to a system that auto-pwns (takes offline) anything that has an OWASP top-10 in it. janit0r had the right idea when s/he/they took all those IoT devices offline. The Japanese did something similar (iirc in 2018).

the top comment in the article nails it:

> I'm not a fan of a vulnerability reporting platform giving someone grief for finding a vuln in THEIR platform. Of all orgs, HackerOne should understand the optics of how they communicate with a reporting party.

Interrogating your voluntary reporting party with things like "why did you access so much data, you didn't need to" is just stupid, that's common exposure assessment practice for most in the industry.

Your vuln was found and exploited either way. Your choices are two:

1. Honorable guy validates scope of access and reports it.
2. Less honorable guy pwns your shit.

Come on, HackerOne.

EDIT: there is so much we could do (programmatically) using .well-known/security.txt to drive automation for all kinds of things in addition to mere providing of a contact point to report vulns to.
Not affiliated, but this is a clean, compact and efficient app. I've got 2 Macs, and keeping the apps updated on both of them (including non-MAS apps) was a bit of a chore before this. Now it's something a hardly have to think about. Highly recommended.
You need a metric to measure performance. It's hard to get such a metric right. You need this metric because the government institutionalized schooling and need to have aggregate data on performance.

However, for the student, it'd be better if they'd focus on the intersection of what they're interested in and what is societally relevant and not to be graded at all.

I know a friend of mine who went to a school for 1 year where he didn't get graded, all he learned was soft business skills. I can clearly see that he grew a lot from it. But I can also see that it is tough for anyone else to see that he learned anything at all. Partially this is because he isn't graded and the behaviors he picked up are now natural to him and it just looks like it was always there.
I simply started billing weeks and not hours.

According to the answers on Quora, the main difference between the east coast and west coast is that east coasters like to write long diatribes on the superiority of their region.
Hard work and talent isn't enough either. We often say that you have to work smart, and work on the right thing.

People often don't know what to work on, so it's left up to chance. Some will simply luck into the right way to train.

And this is a good parallel to successful companies: many succeed just because they're lucky.
How about DHH? He is the closest to this I know.
My question remains unanswered.

And to generalise the reason for a voter to select a candidate to a singular issue is to ignore the realities of why voters select candidates.

Additionally, there are four levels of government in the United states. The federal level is not the one being sued. Besides, one of the persons in the article has a misconception as to the role of the government with regard to property:

"What’s government for? They’re supposed to protect your property,” Mr. Silverman said from behind the wheel of his shallow skiff boat on a recent afternoon.

This person believes the public road is his property, or that his personal property has some right not granted by the constitution. If you live by the ocean or by a river, the water can erode your land and you have to be the one to protect it.

It's like saying that leaving the Paris Accord is going to make the government responsible for land erosion on a river
The rate is partly a function of how deep/rare your subject matter expertise is. Companies will not see $1000/hr as unreasonable if you can deliver sufficient value.

This is a great essay. But, I find it odd that YC's famous "cohorts" are invented by PG. Cohorts work because startups in that batch compare against each other, which in itself is a grading system. Getting into YC, topping the batch and raising money are inevitable symptoms of "cohort" thinking. We could argue YC uses cohorts to make startups compete for meaningful metrics instead of vanity metrics. But still, YC is based on this innate human nature to compete and get social acceptance.

I've had a similar demo a few years ago from some under-the-radar Israeli company, projecting image straight to the retina. It took only a single table, and they talked about how their tech was actually better than Magic Leap – but as most of Israeli high tech, they were looking to get silently acquired by some tech giant instead of developing a product themselves. Never heard of what happened to them later.

I have learned Bloom's taxonomy with comprehension instead of understanding. So if in an algorithm's class, you were taught that algorithm X was exponential time, then the exam question at the comprehension level can be, "describe why does it take exponential time to run algorithm X".

An applying level question could be, "Find the running time of algorithm Y (which was never discussed in class)."
Java will not get HKTs in yours and my lifetime. What might get HKTs is Kotlin. There's a proposal brought forward by the Arrow people that has attracted a lot of attention.

https://github.com/Kotlin/KEEP/pull/87

If if that does not succeed, the Arrow folks are working on a meta compiler (think template Haskell but with IDE support) that should get you HKTs and union types.

Regardless, something quite close to HKTs is available today via type level defunctionalisation. Just look at the Arrow docs

Ask HN: When you do a “Launch HN” how much of traffic did you get?
Hi,

I'm developing a small APP that's going to be opensource and beneficial to the community. Obviously I would be interested in doing a "Launch or Show HN."

So the question is: When you do a "Launch HN" how much of traffic did you get during the time it was on HN?
I think this is an excellent point. I really agree with pg's thesis, but I think it would be worthwhile for him to go more in depth into the "edge cases" he talks about in passing, mainly because I think these edge cases actually bolster his thesis, not detract from it.

Companies like Theranos and WeWork succeeded for a short while because they tried to "hack the test". E.g. Theranos hacked the metrics of "buzz", "investment amount", "notable people on your board", but they didn't actually have a working product. Adam Neumann certainly "hacked the test" to the tune of a billion plus dollars, but WeWork certainly didn't succeed (I'd note there is still a critical difference between Theranos and WeWork in that customers actually really like the product WeWork provides, the question is just can they provide it profitably).

I think hacking the test can get you so far in the startup world, but eventually reality rears its head and what matters is whether you can provide a product people want, profitability.

One quick note on your cigarettes example. The problem here is that companies are giving people what they want, they've just figured out how to "hack the test" so to speak with respect to what the human body wants. This is basically the case with all addictive substances - there is essentially a hackable part of the human "desire" subsystem that people have taken advantage of.

All of the new media analysis speakers are disappearing behind pay walls. The Murdoch properties will be competing on roughly even ground against other paywalled off media properties, something his companies can plausibly succeed at outperforming their competitors.

Linear regression can be the reduction form of many sophisticated methods. For example, HMM or CRF like inference can be easily done with linear regression.

Hierarchical models with several layers of symbolic inference can be done with linear regression.

Reinforcement learning too.

You can reduce almost anything to a binary classifier and implement it in practice to work well. The reduction is tricky but performance is not.

This is especially true in a domain that has no practical purpose. In computer science, the "exam" could be to go solve some hard problem, or write a program with a particular effect. In engineering, you can have students build a bridge and then stress test it. In athletics, the exam is competition. In business, it's making money. In dating, it's finding a mate (or whatever your personal goals are in that space). In farming, it's making food come out of the ground. For writers, it's a compelling or profitable story or book. For painters, it's a painting. Woodworkers can build a chair.

All those domains are testable. But what is the practical work product of a deep knowledge of medieval history? It's extremely difficult to test the past, so it's certainly not predictions about what already happened. Nobody needs knowledge of medieval history for any practical purpose in the modern day. There is no possible way to test for this knowledge in a practical scenario because there is no practical outlet for the knowledge. Literary criticism is the same, along with much that is called "liberal arts" today. So for subjects like this, exams and essays are the only possible work product, and it's true that at that point you're going to have to use contrived tests, since real tests don't exist.

I think "hackability" is a spectrum [0]. The idea is that VC funding is less hackable than college admissions, and that market growth/acceptance is very far on the un-hackable end, along with fairly-referee'd sporting events.

He doesn't admit any ways to actually hack market growth (as if there were none), which is weird. Seems like Use Dark Patterns, Pad Your Numbers, Fake It 'Til You Make It, Regulatory Capture, &c would all make the list.

I agree with the general idea, though: I think the least hackable tests are either Wimbledon/tennis or GSL/StarCraft tournaments; you simply cannot schmooze your way to even the lower brackets.

Waymo is in the value creation phase, business/marketing/analysts may not value it as much but there is a goldmine under it.

Waymo may not be a revenue behemoth currently but there is immense value there not only to self-driving but to maps improvement and more.

I am not a fan of software patents but they have surpassed Toyota in patents [1] and there are hundreds of patents from Waymo [2].

Everyday in Arizona Waymo vehicles you see them on every block.

The value extractors may not like not being able to extract value yet, but the product, research and value creation is very high and contributes today to improving Google product offerings outside of Waymo such as Maps [3].

Waymo has waymo value than is being extracted because it is still emerging from the product value creation nebula that business/marketing/analysts can't see and don't value as much as product/engineering/creative people.

That's also my largest concern with this essay. PG describes the world they way he wants it to be, but not the world the way it is. And I haven't been inside of YC, but everything I've seen is that YC is essentially program that combines some level of "support" with essentially learning to hack VCs.

If it were simply build the best product then there wouldn't be a need for YC. If it were simply build the best product there wouldn't be a need for marketing or sales or business degrees.

The hacks involved in marking and sales became so important to any companies success that they've over time become entire fields of their own. Same thing with an MBA - essentially a degree to hack business. Regardless of what you think of it, it's clear based on the financial returns of it that it works.

One of the biggest lessons constantly mentioned of startups is how naive engineers are to the business side of things and there is more than building a great product. In this essay PG takes all of that and throws it out the window. Is that suddenly no longer true? My read of it is that he (rightfully) likes YC and as a result doesn't see how it has the same flaws as the systems he describes. Essentially like every parent who only sees their kid as beautiful.
