Interesting. Thanks. Verisign's revenue per employee is definitely off the charts as is its operating margins. I remember reading this article though:

https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2014/feb/28/seven-peo...

In some ways, it seems like the potential risks warrant Verisign to have a strong financial incentive given the problems we've seen at PG&E (if Verisign can also be considered a utility). Also, it does serve as a north star in regards to properly compensating companies or individuals who provide important protocols, infrastructure layers, and FOSS projects. How much that should be though is an interesting question.
Tearing down a faceless company! Heaven forfend. We're all just "haters" here, I guess.

If I were in charge of broadcasting a communication signal into space, I'd make it a very obviously square wave, or something else that doesn't usually occur on its own. So it really depends on if the signal was meant to be seen as a discovery mechanism.
There's nothing that prevents the US government from hacking Chinese TelCo equipment. Thus I think it's more likely it's about traditional competition. Of course it's cheaper to put a "NOBUS" backdoor than to hack systems and estabilish presistence on Chinese HW.

If they had proof they would have showed it already. Nothing would help their rhetoric more than cold hard facts.

If they haven't done it, it means: a) there isn't any backdoor, or b) exposing their backdoors would expose their own backdoors.

I'm betting on b.
When I'm on long enough trips to start hitting repetition, I change channels periodically. There are a handful I like, so rotating isn't a bad thing. But yes, I do wish each channel had more songs in rotation at any given time.
> so who says the US is going to continue to be more-or-less an ally and China is going to continue to not be one?

Geopolitics is much less unpredictable than "the future." Even the current administration is not so short-sighted to alienate the US to the point of having no powerful allies. If Europe is not considered an ally (it is, not "more or less," it 100% is), where would the US turn? Even if you take a scenario where Trump and Russia are allies, and the US positions itself closer to Russia, Russia's allies are anathema to US interests and ideals, and will be for the foreseeable future.

I just can't see any reality outside of borderline sci-fi where the US is not a close ally to just about every Western European country.

Short answer is that the U.S. relies on litigation to fill the void left by a lack of regulation. Tesla wouldn't be liable for this in Europe because they're not even allowed to sell this technology there in the first place:

I think the easiest way to set it all up is to manually edit your CSProj files, especially if you are still building .NET Framework projects. By default, Visual Studio will only create the new SDK Style project file format for .NET Standard and .NET Core projects, but it's still usable for .NET Framework projects if you manually change the format. Once you change it, it sticks, so you can use VS to edit the config after that, but it's still pretty easy to edit by hand now.

So here is my base project config: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/blob/master/Juniper....

The most important part is the first PropertyGroup sets values for all build configs, in particular is setting LangVersion to 8.0. Framework 4.8 taps out at C# 7.2, but you can use most of the C# 8.0 features, including fully async streams if you manually set the language version. Features that aren't available are some minor things like the array ranges and indexing: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-refe...

And here are my base project with the analyzers I use: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/blob/master/Juniper....

They're all ones provided directly from Microsoft, though there are a bunch more from other vendors: https://www.nuget.org/packages?q=analyzer

Then here is an example project using that targets file: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/blob/master/src/Juni...

You can see just how much the new SDK Style project file format simplifies things. There is no importing of any base Targets files hidden deep in Visual Studio's install directory anymore.

I manually import the .props and .targets file instead of using Directory.Build.props and Directory.Build.targets because I have other projects that use these configs, included via a git submodule.

Here is my .editorconfig file, where I set most of the rules related to Disposable types to errors: https://github.com/capnmidnight/Juniper/blob/master/.editorc...

And this Visual Studio extension makes .editorconfig files a lot nicer to work with: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=MadsKris...

When working alone on the project I feel like the momentum gets lost sometimes. Sometimes I'm busy building a feature that takes a lot of time and don't have time for other features or bugs. Or when working on marketing there is no time to build new stuff. There might be a future when I'm not coding at all and only responsible for the other aspects of the business. That's why I'm already hiring a freelancer.

The hiring process did go like this:

- We posted a tweet along the lines of "We are looking for a Node.js programmer to fight for privacy. 8 hours per week for $1000 per month" [1]

- We got ~150 responses via Twitter DM

- We write them all back with a form they needed to fill in

- ~80 of those did fill in the form

- From those we selected 5 applicants to do a paid assignment

- From those we selected 2 for a video call

- Then Dave [2] was selected

To us it's very important to treat your applicants in a very nice way. Take time to respond their questions, let them know why they were not selected and pay for their assignments. We got a lot of great feedback for applicants who didn't got selected because of this.

Although we are still in the starting phase (he started in January) I'm very happy with the output our developer Dave produces.

I'm a zillion tab person. But even aside from that, it improves the usability of the browser.

A problem with browser UI is that - given our monitor form factor - it makes text hard to read. Studies show that very wide columns of text are harder to read than something relatively narrower.

By changing the viewing pane of the browser, moving the tabs off the top and to the side, we mitigate that extra-wide shape somewhat, making the text more easily readable while giving ourselves a bit more vertical space.
From your second link https://scholarlycommons.law.northwestern.edu/cgi/viewconten..., which is a law review article, not precedent or statute: "Copyright protection is thus unavailable to unenhanced data. ... Predictably, EOSAT does not attempt to copyright unenhanced Landsat data." However, it's from 1990, prior to Feist (1991) and Bridgeman (1999), though not Hearn (1987). Even so, it doesn't attempt to make the argument that you're making, that raw satellite photos themselves are subject to copyright: "The statutory definition of a copyright certainly suggests that...data which has been enhanced through human creativity qualifies for protection." (Emphasis mine.)

Law review articles, like legal briefs, are primarily attempts to advocate a certain point of view by presenting the best available arguments for it, in the hopes of influencing future jurisprudence or legislation. The positions they advocate are thus not reliable guides to reality, although they are more persuasive to the extent that their arguments are based on reality and thus not easily demolished.

The other two https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1027166 and https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/document/1292646 not only aren't jurisprudence, they aren't even law review articles, nor do they reference any jurisprudence or make any legal arguments. Also, they are both from Singapore. Actually they are papers about steganography, not copyright.

Did you... did you just google [satellite image copyright] and paste the first few links you saw without reading them, hoping you could waste a bunch of my time for a minimal amount of effort on your part?

Not exactly. They put the parking in the back. Or the center. Or whatever. Somewhere you can't see it right away.

It's different. Better! Because this way if you put the strip malls across the street from each other, it's like one double-wide strip mall, instead of two separate strip malls with a double-size parking lot in between.

I guess it's not strictly necessary to keep the car traffic between the malls, but that way, you can reduce the speed limit to 15 mph and then still hit pedestrians trying to cross. Fun!
You can have largely pedestrianized areas in the interior with these sorts of things but, in general, you need to provide parking because a lot of people are going to need/want to use a car to get to them even if they're on some sort of transit route.

They also tend to work better in moderate climates. One example of something along these lines in the Bay Area is Santana Row. Very clearly artificial but still relatively pleasant.

>The US is essentially complaining that Huawei has access to the backdoor channels that only the US government was supposed to have.

How is surprising? The defining characteristic of a nation state is that it has a monopoly on violence within its borders. Having a monopoly on intercepting telecom traffic is a logical consequence of that. For other countries though, yeah I'd prefer if neither China nor US have backdoor access.

Ask HN: How can technical writers be proficient working remotely
For context, I'm the program manager of a technical documentation + training unit that recently got consolidated into a single team -- whereas in the past they worked on and were part of different departments.

On the technical writer part, though, we've had positions open for months on end, and have really struggled to hire people, particularly because we feel that to work in product documentation, they would really benefit from being close to our R&D department.

Things happen fast, and members of our group are being allocated dynamically to development teams, working alongside them when the time is right to actually produce the end-user documentation, all the while participating in the teams' ceremonies as much as possible.

We felt that, in order to acquire enough context to produce quality documentation, and to make sure nothing's lost in translation, they'd really benefit from being located here and being able to come to the office, be among the developer teams. Everyone's encouraged to work remotely whenever they feel the need to (comms through Slack and Zoom).

One additional aspect that we try to keep in mind is that the team's job is also to make sure that documentation is not an afterthought. Developer teams, as usual, are not very keen on creating documentation to start with, so it's our team's job to take care of the process more end-to-end.

We've tried being open to having remote technical writer team members, tried it unsuccesfully, particularly as we struggled with time zone differences, and a somewhat low quality of the documentation produced.

The problem in the near future, that will probably make allocation a nightmare for me, in particular: our R&D department is doubling its size this year... whatever they produce is clearly going to need docs and training.

What recommendations would you have, in your experience working with or managing technical writer teams, for being able to accomodate remote writers?

>One thing that I wonder is whether we could ever identify an alien communication signal as an alien signal is likely to be much more advanced.

This has always been my thing.

Scientists: "Well we've been listening for radio signals but haven't heard anything yet!"

What if they discovered radio but decided it was way too easy for others to spy on it, and be detected off planet, so they just used wired connections for everything eventually moving to 99.9999999% efficient fiberoptics and then when they became a multi system empire, after discovering jump-space, they just switched to using fast messenger probes that could pop in and out of a system and carry large amounts of data to be tightly beamed to and from planets via laser.

Or what if they don't use radio because they began exploiting the Glarfnuralka stream for FTL communications via their subspace ansible implants 50 years after they discovered radio waves?

What if there's something,just right there that we've yet to discover that is far more efficient for communications from an energy standpoint? We discovered radio waves 150ish years ago, we detected the first gravity wave less than 5 years ago. What if it takes us another year, another 1,352 years, to discover Glarfnuralkians and develop a way to reliably transmit and receive data streams in that stream?

Or what if Glarfnuralkians are also considered to be primitive and inefficient due to the limited number of effective channels in the stream and the fact that random bits of the data area always lost no matter what and that the nearest intelligent hegemony is instead using Glurrybluron entanglement to transmit in real time between dedicated units that involve some cesium clocks, some variety of variable gravity lock, proper magnetic containment chambers for dual singularities (and we're talking relatively small singularities here, if your containment chambers are advanced enough you can get this thing down to a backpack sized device), an adequate power source (probably some sort of zero point module that draws from the quantum foam between universes), a way to inject electrons into the containment chambers and sufficient computational power from some universe-on-a-chip quantum ASIC.

What if they discovered radio but decided it was way too easy for others to spy on it, and be detected off planet, so they just used wired connections for everything eventually moving to 99.9999999% efficient fiberoptics and then when they became a multi system empire, after discovering jump-space, they just switched to using fast messenger probes that could pop in and out of a system and carry large amounts of data to be tightly beamed to and from planets via laser.

Or maybe they're just really into face to face communication because of some sort of cultural/religious custom.

There is also the possibility a sentient species could have sensory organs that involve part of the radio spectrum which would likely prevent them from adapting radio communications.

They could be a species that uses chemical communication, not unlike many insects. You could theoretically convey large amounts of data this way with a moderate amount of evolution.

The closer ally is likely to have SIGINT sharing agreements with your government.

FVEY exists so that the UK or Canada can legally spy on my communications and turn that data over to my government - which couldn’t otherwise get it without warrants and other pesky civil rights protections.

I think I’d rather take my chances with an adversarial government. I know they’d be spying but their ability to act on it is far more limited.

> But even more so, I can't imagine how painful it is for people to sit in traffic every day, stressing they might be late, burning money on fuel and their car, and waking up earlier than they really should.

It's not only cash spend directly, it's also time spend. I was spending 2h a day in public transit, but when I tried to do it in car, it came down to less than 45 minutes a day. The parking was quite expensive so I doubted, I was paying 150$ a month for my public transit pass, but the closest available parking would be 250$ a month. Lets round it up to 1h a day and say that a month is 4 weeks, I was spending 20 hours a month. For some absurd reasons, I wasn't considering my time stuck in movement as part of my job hours. By refusing to pay for the parking, I was essentially saying that my time was worth 5$ an hour.

This is so weird that we all forget that our time lost while we go to work, is still part of our work time. Spending 2h a day in transit, that's accepting a 20% pay cut from the get go.
1) The US is not structurally capable of building public transit. For suburban areas like this, light rail is workable. But it costs us as much to build light rail as it costs other countries to build fully underground automated subway systems.

2) These are suburbs, so there is no rhyme or reason to where things might be located. It can literally take hours to do a route that you could do in a car in 30 minutes.
