No, no, no - none of this is about legality. Just sometimes people bring it up as a framework for determining responsibilities, so I addressed it ahead of time. I don't think (legal requirements) == (responsibilities). The sets may have some overlap but clearly they are not identical.

Instead, I am just saying that if I upload a "cool tool" to github, and I notice that it has become super popular, and I don't have time/interest/inclination to maintain it --- I would personally feel a RESPONSIBILITY, and probably social obligation (not a legal obligation) to either put a note saying "this is not actively maintained, please find an up-to-date fork. user/cooltool seems to have community support but I can't personally endorse it." or simply make some other people additional/replacement maintainers for the project which I'm not interested in maintaining anymore.

If they are like most BMDs they cannot be verified by the voter. They'll print out a paper with a barcode on it. In theory you could scan and decode the barcode but most voters won't know how to do that. In effect, the BMDs are not verifiable by the general voting public.
I don’t have any computer repair certifications, but I wish I knew more of that sort of thing myself.
Rather than work with all clients directly, the major tech companies run partnership programs for smaller resellers and service providers. A partner account is sometimes the best or only way to download administration tools, firmware images, documentation, etc. or talk to actually competent engineering support. It also confers a license to use the company's trademark in your branding and establishes some amount of trust for clients. Microsoft and Cisco are both really into this.

The key qualification for partnership is N staff members with whatever certificate. So it doesn't necessarily mean you'll be hired, but it may be important to the company that you have it.

Sure, you can't be successful with every user. If they refuse to type in search terms, I don't see how substituting "Go" for "Search" improves anything.
It takes time to validate a PR, to test it, to verify it. He is not being paid for his time, he does not owe -anyone- his time.

If you don't like the way a project is being run, fork it and own it yourself.

I know that's harsh, and not idealistic, but it's the way people should really think about this. People take FOSS for granted, CONSTANTLY. And maintainers even more so.
I’d argue that if a company has a larger than normal dependency on keeping a project running (like a cloud provider with 1 million VMs running Debian or Debian-based OSes) they should hire a full time employee whose sole job is to work on it.

I think the basic rules still apply: You’re getting this software for free rather than paying for something expensive. Though you deal in the software, you get no guarantee of its fitness for any purpose. If you want a better guarantee of its fitness, either pay the current maintainers or hire someone good who can become a maintainer. OR choose open source projects where a BigCo like Microsoft or Google has hired people to work on it full time.

They can't. Too small to grow big.
I missed the sub-vocalization story. Do you have the link to it?
Older Americans come from a time when the Man on the TV or Radio spoke the truth, with honor and integrity and did so citing facts and experts. They still hold onto this ethos and therefore believe - like they believe a preacher, that the words and opinions are real and factual and worthy of regard... This is why FOXNews and talk radio skews so heavily to people over 60 and is also why its so effective.
demand: an insistent and peremptory request, made as if by right.

"he should have ..." is clearly an expression of disapproval.

This piece starts with Tile and Apple but that isn't going to go anywhere in terms of antitrust. Tile's grievance is just the standard multi-decade grievance of a startup that gets sherlocked by Apple and incorporated into the OS. Unless they have patents that Apple is infringing, there's really no case for them to make.

Google on the other hand is a straightforward antitrust case. I think Facebook's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp could potentially also be undone. Amazon seems to have been trying to expand the market definition to all of retail or ecommerce, at least in their PR, but an antitrust case against them would likely define the market more narrowly to particular verticals (like book sales).
The article mostly consider both side and the main point is to flourish open source community, which is highly appreciable.

I think, as an outsider, both side had its wrongs and corrects, the author could consider changing unsafe code and the community could be at least civil.

As a personal opinion, i can say that we have to consider the fact that the authors of open source software are mostly doing it for hobby or fun. And if we ever want to keep open source alive and magnificent, we should be very civil and and at least thankful for the programmer and their time.

The only way out i see that could solve the issue was to fork the project and do the desired changes there. I dont know why they did not do that when it got to that point.
>That’s not the issue at all, and we know this because the project was advertised as secure

this is so weird to me. i have a really difficult time on hn often because i don't understand why people that claim to be intelligent can't distill out the fundamental/primary issues.

it's a free/proffered/donation/voluntary/no strings attached piece of code. that is the first thing that defines its use/understanding/existence/ontology whatever other words. everything else is contingent upon that. you can debate this point - you can say something about the social contract of open source software and your responsibility to the community if you yourself have benefited from other open source projects and etc but no one is debating this. everyone is debating aposteriori things.

if i put a mattress out on the street with a sign "no bed bugs" and you pick it up and it has bed bugs in can you be mad at me? can you take action against me?

i don't know what kind of framework i need to appeal to in order to underscore this issue so that people address it directly instead of things further down the line. i would really appreciate someone showing me how to either do this (put the focus on the thing i'm engaging with) or tell me why i'm wrong for focusing on that.

From the security experts affidavit filed in Georgia court today:

15. On December 2, 2014, while the KSU server remained vulnerable, a new user named "shellshock" was created on the server. I have created the below timeline of activity related to the shellshock user after fusing logging data from multiple sources. The timeline may not be complete:

16. 12/2/2014 10:45 — the user mpears09 is modified using the Webmin console

12/2/2014 10:47 - shellshock user created using Webmin console

12/2/2014 10:49 - /home/shellshock/.bash histovy last modified

12/22014 11:02 - /home/shellshocWshellsh0ck file is deleted

12/2/2014 1106 - bash patched to version 4.2+dfsg-0.1+deb7u3 to prevent shellshock

12/2/2014 11:40 - shellshock user disabled using Webmin console

17. The file "bash history" is a kind of log that typically records all the commands a user executes. For this user, though, the file contained a single command to logout of the server. The single command to logout is suspicious since a file was created and deleted in the user's home directory, leading rne to believe the "bash history" has been modified. This indicates to rne that the "shellshock" user may have been hiding their activities.
But there is such a thing as "good enough for all intents and purposes". I didn't say any transfer has to be perfect, or that the media is absolutely perfect, or that it has to be done for free, with no energy consumption, etc. just that if we achieve practical interstellar travel and can transfer consciousness to a machine I'd say the tech will be advanced enough for these issues to not be the major concern. You're introducing additional constraints and expecting my previous comment to account for them.

Theseus's ship, theoretically you are not the same you from 10 years ago, cells have changed, DNA was altered, shape, consciousness, etc. are all slightly different. But for all intents and purposes you are you. So having a "good enough" copy of yourself may just be enough. Once it's in a machine it does not matter anymore. Thermodynamics allowed this comment you are reading now to be transferred from my mind to your mind (in its literal form, regardless of personal interpretation) or at least from my keyboard to your screen exactly how it was intended, with no discernible loss of fidelity.

You're taking the purely theoretical stance where it's not the same photon of information. I'm taking the practical stance where it doesn't have to be. And even losing some bits of your data might not be a practical concern.
>Enormous USMCA trade deal finally passed by US Congress after the House sat on it for a year.

The House didn't sit on it. It has been undergoing the normal process. USMCA is replacing NAFTA. NAFTA took six years to negotiate and ratify.

So far, USMCA has taken about two.

The final negotiations weren't even finished until mid-December.

Mexico ratified the final version of USMCA last month after negotiations had ended, and Canada has yet to vote on it.

If anyone has been telling you that the House has been holding things up, they are either wrong or deliberately lying to you.

This is clever marketing, but not much more. The (at this time sole) comment is better written than the article.

Am I missing the valuable tech angle of twitter marketing? Oh, that IS the angle... ok.
Cherry-picking a comment doesn't give a good representation of the community. The GP is right - most comments were courteous. The point is that saying "the community" was hateful and vitriolic needs more evidence than a couple of bad eggs, because those exist everywhere.
> Passing up on such a PR would almost immediately disqualify a library from further use unless I could manage a fork.

It's a bit disingenuous that you can accuse someone of being absurd for not doing something, and then mentioning in the same breath that you "might not want to" as well.

I'm merely saying that for the sake of pointing out that maintaining a project is a PITA and we should all really accept that.
I mean specifically car commuters. People who spend hours fighting traffic. At least you can be on your computer during commute. Still not ideal.
... and there are many many HR departments going on a hunt for these people that got laid off
Depends a lot on the role. I've conducted a few hundred interviews at this point and you're right that I don't put equal weight on all certs, but they do help me prepare questions. For example, if I see a CCNA recently issued, I can make an assumption that opening with a network question should be a way to ease the candidate into an area they are at least somewhat comfortable in and get over the initial interview nerves. If they flounder in what I would assume is an entry level question in a topic they claim to have expertise, then I know I immediately need to adjust the questions and expectations for the rest of the interview. For some roles this could be an immediate sign that they probably aren't the right fit, but that doesn't mean they don't have knowledge and skills in other areas and it's my job to find those and determine if there's another open role that they could be great in. Or if they are open to a more junior role with an ability to grow, if they show great signs in other areas. So in short, the cert does help me tailor the interview a but better.
Verbosity is a huge problem in a language. Verbosity that makes unfamiliar code easier for you to read can actually hurt the readability to a more familiar reader trying to figure out where the bug is. I don’t need that thisIsTheBloodyFooArgument: all over the place if I already know it is the bloody foo argument. Eventually, the code becomes so repetitively noisy that I have to rewrite it stripped down into a text file just to get a gist of the real things I need to understand (like when comments get in the way and don’t help.

But really, this is a problem we don’t need to have...tooling could make it so we have the verbose repetitive version that make unfamiliar readers happy and the more concise to the point version that makes familiar readers happy. But for some reason, our profession is infatuated with text files that make this best of both worlds impossible.
You're lumping a few bad apples (apparently recruited from Reddit) in with "they". The users who found the bugs and provided patches were largely courteous considering the circumstances.
It looks like you're completely misinterpreting this change.

Status quo ante: big media get advance access in a closed room to the new economic news, with electronics to prepare stories and prepare optimized communications to friends.

New procedure: big media still get advance access in a closed room to the new economic news, but without the electronics.

How is this an attempt to curb the release of bad economic news?
Have you not been following The Elon Saga?

He’s trying to parlay his life’s work into civilization on Mars. Everything he’s investing time and energy into has uses here, today, but the prize he has his eye on is not here.

Does making a tunnel boring machine lighter or smaller have advantages? Sure, if the machines get used to dig more than one tunnel then a more portable design will begin to develop. But nobody is worried about paying well over $1000/lbs to move the damn thing. And nobody is worried about how big a parachute you need to land it in Martian atmosphere without breaking it.

Knowing Musk, he isn’t spending time on this plan if it does nothing for his dream. Therefore there’s a connection. What might that be? What would digging large holes have to do with sending people to an environment with barely any atmosphere and massive sandstorms? Oh.

I expect solving that problem will take ages. If he starts now he might have some major progress by the time he’s gotten a few missions to Mars. By the time habitat management is a problem he may have something that is pretty crazy but not insane.

I also expect that when spending another $1000/lbs on cutting surfaces represents a net savings, you’ll see him working with some pretty bizarre and exotic materials. What that would be will come as a surprise to me, since I haven’t paid any attention to materials science since about the time they started making synthetic diamond.
I'm sure a bigger battery would increase the cost of the laptop. At $200 the margin has to be pretty thin already.
You could also read this as: Digital Ocean raised a $130M credit line and their creditors have noticed that profits aren't what they will need to be in X years time, hence the hair cutting. Their headcount only increased by 4% in the past six months. AWS increased its 10,000+ headcount by 16% in the same time period.

I mean, it's all sheer speculation, but I think it is equally likely that Digital Ocean is having a hard time vs. just restructuring to do some housekeeping... I don't know how any 600 person cloud company survives in the same world as AWS these days.
Honestly, I'm so impressed with this device.

I really want to get this just so I can hack the hell out of it. With all that empty space in the case, there are so many possibilities...
I didn't want to come of as suggesting you meant any of that, not at all! Just comparing approaches.

I think it was this: https://github.com/simonw/datasette though supports only CSV files.

There's also Apache Drill which works with a lot of data sources, which is philosophically closer to OctoSQL.
I have no knowledge of actix-web. But just starred at the insane high throughput achieved in the world most thorough benchmark test. Just horrible to read about what the author had to go through. But fully understand him.
It sure seems like a lot of people could save a lot of time and trouble if we could easily replace these easily-injured human joints with superior artificial joints.
So by "blocking" they mean, "if I don't buy ands and my competitors do, then people will see my competitors' brands before mine". Isn't this fundamental to how advertisement works?
But I meant blocks that were mostly under simple compressive load, not slabs. Would they still age bad ?
The prices are way too high. We run about 50 servers (the number varies between 30 and 70). As a small team we rely a lot on freelancers to handle peaks. Such a tool would be very cool, but is not priced right. In addition, we would have to pay 1000 $ per month, but often dont need all of it. A pay as you use variant would be the minimum. In addition, at least some parts of such a product should be open source. Possibly under strict licenses, but auditable and usable in all versions on your own server. This does not exclude a complementary SaaS offer.
Btw: Free trail without CC would be nice. Not giving you any data without showing me something...
Sounds like fairly generic deployment infrastructure that has nothing to do with machine learning.

But why pass up the opportunity to use a buzzword to get on the front page of HN?
#1 is imprecise to me in one respect.

Critiquing someone's actions and choices is a founding principle of open source software, politics, and in general most human culture. "I think it was wrong to delete the GitHub issue because my belief structure XYZ" is acceptable.

Critiquing someone personally based on their technical choices is not acceptable. Reddit allows it, and thus Reddit is unusable as a social platform for positive outcomes. "I think you are a bad person because you deleted a GitHub issue" is NOT OKAY.

That distinction appears to be what led the creator to quit today, because the GitHub issue they deleted (perhaps incorrectly) contained personal attacks that linked their technical choices to their quality of human self (definitely incorrectly). I personally would have chosen to XYZ and I think they'll do so in the future if that comes up in a GitHub issue again — but focusing on that is incorrect here.

The focus needs to be on those who wield personal attacks on others over technical choices, and on rewriting communities to prohibit and evict these participants in all cases where such can be done. Shun them, ban them, and prohibit them.
Unfortunately since there's only two tracks, one north, one south, it's kind of a farce. There isn't enough room for trains to over take.
Worse, many of those with pensions find themselves one day without one... Look at the hundreds of bankrupt orgs that have somehow, been able to simply walk away from their obligations. The only people who hold pensions these days are govt workers. People who do not contribute to the economy.
That 10% number has certainly been making the rounds, almost like a talking point. However, that’s literal nonsense.

> People are finally starting to notice and point out.

Incorrectly.

Every person in America with a pension or a retirement account has significant exposure to the stock market. Universities and their endowments, which make institutionally awarded need based financial aid possible directly benefit from the stock market. Casualty (and other) insurance companies directly benefit from the stock market which affects their profitability and thus their ability to write policies at reasonable rates; it also affects the reinsurance market which can mean the difference between a large housing development being built or not, or a new industrial plant opening or not.

This “only benefits the top 10%” talking point is so ridiculous as to not be worthy of comment, but since it keeps popping up from people who have a political interest in talking down the economy, it should be addressed before more people actually start to believe that tripe.

The origin of that “10%” number was from a CNBC report that said “the richest 10% own 85% of individually traded stocks.” However that statistic conveniently excludes mutual funds — which generally consist of a basket of individually traded stocks packaged together. So if I own $1 million in a Fidelity mutual fund, I am not considered as owning “individually traded stocks.” So, to use that “only benefits the top 10%” number, then that would say that the stock market doesn’t benefit me because I only own shares in a mutual fund. Which is complete baloney.

When Trump calls out fake news, this is exactly the kind of thing he’s referring to: a statement that a rising market only benefits the top 10% because they own 85% of individually traded stocks — while that is completely false because everyone that owns shares of a mutual fund (the majority of American families in fact,) doesn’t benefit.

And your statement “the vast majority” don’t own stocks, that’s also a lie, according to Gallup: https://news.gallup.com/poll/266807/percentage-americans-own...

Even if Gallup was off by 10%, which would be a huge margin or error, that’s still nowhere close to a “vast” majority. Now to be fair, you did stick in a qualifier there “little” but that is meaningless. How much is “little?” And how do you know how prevalent “little” vs. “none” is? It’s just a meaningless distraction to protect against the fact that the majority of Americans own stock and even those that don’t own stock benefit from a good economy. Very low unemployment means tighter labor market which means wage competition.

It would seem that the economy could be absolutely perfect but those of different political stripes would be wishing its downfall just to win an election. Didn’t Bill Maher or one of those hosts actually wish for a recession so it would make it easier to beat Trump? Some sick people that would wish for people to lose their jobs and homes in order to beat Republicans.

We can have honest policy debates. But let’s not trade in misrepresentations to win political points.
You should probably setup a business checking account to deposit your stripe payments in and pay expenses out of.

If you are in the US running your SaaS as a sole proprietorship (get an EIN number from IRS) is ok till your idea is proven and you have a consistent MRR showing continued growth.

Then it's probably time for an LLC consult with an accountant and attorney though before setting anything up.

I wouldn't waste time/effort and expense by setting anything up too early.
Poor people? I'm poor. But I integrate my life. My work meshes with my home life. I would move my house or get a new job. Fighting traffic creates rage and environmental problems. It's stupid.

Why Twitter Is Messy, Glitched, and in Love with Drama
Tensorflow which is for Deep Learning is a very tiny part of the overall ML requirements.

To do large scale data preparation and engineering which necessitates clustering you would need to reinvent Spark. And then how about for the more common algorithms like boosted trees etc. Those algorithms are provided by Apple for iOS/MacOS but not sure if they exist for everyone else.
