Would you like me to simply ask @cpu? You can too. I stopped at "I think DNSSEC is rubbish and so does the whole Boulder development team".

I'm not sure how your argument hasn't been comprehensively refuted at this point.

I would love to take a merry walk with you through the tls-wg mailing list posts about dnssec-chain-extension, which I feel fairly confident I can show you've mischaracterized. The whole thing is really funny.

I don't think this has been an especially productive exchange on HN itself, but since we both appear on opposite sides of the DNSSEC issue every time it comes up here, and your arguments tend to involve subtleties of what Lets Encrypt does or doesn't do, I appreciate the opportunity and motivation to read up on specifics, so that I can more quickly shut down this bad argument when it's brought up again. Thank you!

I had this scenario too. I purchased PowerTag by a Schneider Electric and then tied this into Home Assistant via Node-red. This gave me usage on individual circuits and automation resulted in a 40% reduction in energy usage.

For curiosity I wired in an SDM eBay brand meter and it was within 1% of the Industrial grade PowerTag.

Another option is emonpi and it’s easier to install than both of the above.

Happy metering!

I would look into CRA (https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app). It handles all the Babel/Transpiling/Webpack mumbo-jumbo for you so you can focus on writing code.

Although I would eventually recommend learning how to utilize Babel & Webpack yourself because knowing why and how it works is useful.

That is a bit how Xerox PARC experiment in Mesa/Cedar went, and how Wirth got inspired for Oberon.

In what concerns Oberon System, there were no executables, only dynamic loadable modules.

They could be used by other modules, or by the OS itself.

Basically, there were a set of conventions how public procedures/functions should look like for the OS to recognise them as callable from REPL, or mouse actions.

And for mouse actions, they could either act immediately, act upon the current selected text/viewer or present a context menu.

Or how Inferno and Limbo interact with each other, don't stop a Plan 9.

I think the closest you can get back into these ideas is Windows, with COM/.NET/DLLs and PowerShell as orchestrator.
>For me bullying stopped when I started martial arts.

This is so true. At the end of the day, we are primal animals, and knowing that you can physically dominate (or can be physically dominated) has a huge influence in personal conflict. Not only that, martial arts are great exercise, which is one less thing you can be bullied about.

It's obviously not a bullying "cure-all", but it helps.

They’re the actual price for those features only because of the subsidy provided by selling SSO to enterprise customers, IMO.

It’s like arguing that economy airline seating sucks and shouldn’t be allowed to be different than business class. Economy is subsidized by first and business. If you legislate away the difference, it’s not the case that everyone now gets a business class seat at the economy ticket price but much more likely that the other equilibrium emerges where only business class service and pricing is offered.
Pensioners are window-breakers, in today's society. They consume, but never produce. (This used to be less true, with grandparents providing childcare etc) This doesn't mean we should kill them all off! But the consumption of a pensioner (or retiree in general) is more akin to digging a ditch and filling it back in than it is to anything productive.

You can't build an economy on consumption alone.
How can you say that? It's definitely a significant barrier.

"Open source" is often used to appear more "friendly" to outsiders.

In my time this was basically a distinction between an engineer and a technician - technicians generally having a lot more practical experience, but lacking in the theory, while fresh out of Uni engineers knowing the theory well, but lacking practical skills in solving the real-world problems. With time a good engineer picks up those skills too.

” They side-step a lot of the planned obsolescence and intentional feature scarcity US companies have become so dependent on to avoid meaningful R&D. ”

They also “side-step” the capital and years of research required to come up with the products.

Why invest in R&D when you can invest in corporate espionage for a fraction of the cost?

> we are ruthless in killing experiments early that do not prove valuable.

Ed Catmull of Pixar calls new ideas "ugly babies." Ugly because they're covered in warts -- aspects that are easy to change, but that doubters seize on because they destroy value. For example, the script for the first Bond film, Dr. No, had an intelligent monkey for a villain. Babies because they don't have value in their current form, they need more work and iteration before they have value.

How does slack identify technologies that don't have value now, but whose problems are superficial and fixable?

Microsoft will win this, is what my gut feeling says. And Amazon may be forced to pay compensation by the people in the process.

How about they actually prove they can focus on privacy and be a good implementor for the government? I doubt if they will ever do that. That's the concern.
Well if you believe the person you never met, why do an interview at all then ? Basic trust - get on board ! Im sorry but your argument doesnt make sense. Nobody in their right mind expects to be trusted right out of the gate. They come to the interviews to build that trust. To prove they are what the paper says about them.

>Why not just use probationary periods, but not emphasize the reason to the applicants?

Thats effectively what i do, but I want to be upfront about it more so than its conventionally accepted. And the main reason is b/c i chose not to do long interviews, which might convey that "ah, seems like an easy place to slack, nobody gives a shit here"

Can confirm. I don't have the luxury of burnout, as the the primary breadwinner for a larger than anticipated family (yay twins!). So I hover just above breaking point, and only occasionally dip my toes in no longer having any F*s to give.

On the flip side, if I didn't have the family with young children, I'm positive my life would be so much less stressful, that burnout risk would be slim to none...

Email. With per-topic mailing list server (that is: send a message to whoever you like and cc the list). Self-subscribe (with approval for sensitive topics) for any email list. Archive to a threaded web-based archiver. Search-index it.

Everything you need: High speed communications. Long-form, if you need it. Only getting notified about things you care about. Written discussions about things like how design or business plan decisions were made to be perused at leasure by new hires in the future (Knowlege-base).

For a company that got going for being better than email, it's shocking to me how email (done correctly) is still better on almost every dimension (except asking what people want for lunch).
it doesn't matter if you defeat DNSSEC, because nothing important relies on it.

Not true.

I would say secure email is something important and that relies on DANE, which requires DNSSEC. Good video on this: https://youtu.be/BhvU19RJrPY

DANE’s TLSA records is the only method available to ensure that email is always encrypted between hosts.

Otherwise it’s too easy for someone to MITM a connection and downgrade the connection.

And actual data on DNSSEC and DANE usage shows DANE usage is way up: https://stats.dnssec-tools.org/

I actually hold a more optimistic view toward the effect of people not staying up to date with the news, I feel like a good part of reason why there are so much anger in the world right now, and political spectrum becoming more extreme is partially due to how news get reported, you rarely rarely see an objective view of matters on news. They're often used as PR outlets for political parties.
Shouldn't most of the pieces from a collision in LEO crash into the earth? If you consider a plane tangent to the altitude of the object, most pieces ejected below that plane should reenter and burn up. Any piece ejected outward will be in an orbit that will return to the collision point from underneath and must therefore hit the earth. Only parts ejected nearly in-plane will have lasting orbits. That's not to say it wouldn't be a problem.

Most things aren't consumed on a delayed basis, because they turn out to be irrelevant. News is a fast-paced thing, like a soap opera. I've never seen anyone binge watch a year of soap opera, and it's similar for the news.

Use a filter by reading a monthly or quarterly publication. You will get the information (that's still considered print-worthy after the next news cycle), but not the hectic, emotional manipulation and outrage.

I was reading Plato recently and this stood out:

> When they meet together, and the world sits down at an assembly, or in a court of law, or a theatre, or a camp, or in any other popular resort, and there is a great uproar, and they praise some things which are being said or done, and blame other things, equally exaggerating both, shouting and clapping their hands, and the echo of the rocks and the place in which they are assembled redoubles the sound of the praise or blame—at such a time will not a young man's heart, as they say, leap within him? Will any private training enable him to stand firm against the overwhelming flood of popular opinion? or will he be carried away by the stream? Will he not have the notions of good and evil which the public in general have—he will do as they do, and as they are, such will he be?

People have been complaining about what you're complaining about for thousands of years. What I find truly puzzling -- given the supposed madness of crowds -- is that things are going so well.
In my original consideration you could only sign up with government ID -- actually the original problem was what to do prior to the day reddit banned your community, so that you could keep going.

In either case it was pretty trivial to picky bag of existing IDs, if I ever solve that for the general case, you will find out.

I haven't watched Seattle local news in years and feel like absolutely nothing has changed at all, and I feel just as informed.

I'm slowly getting rid of national news as well, as many sources aren't there to inform, but now provide primarily gossip-y and dramatized opinions. I really don't care about your opinion as a journalist unless I'm specifically reading the opinion section. This is just the result of the monopolization of media and the profit motive behind it.

>And yet my life is the same as everyone elses. Not knowing what is going on, living in a country with a high standard of living and personal safety, doesn't affect me at all.

I often remind myself of this a lot. If I look out the window, nothing is happening, kids are playing in the yard, the sky is blue, things still go on. People tell me all of these terrible things going on, and while they probably are going on and I do care about a beneficial moral & ethical outcome, it just really has no effect on me. I know that's a privileged view and most in the world really don't have it this good, but the world goes on...

The drive and ambition have a funny tech-related spin to them, too. Emotional or relational problems are cast in technical terms as if the solution is to file a bug report on one's own software, even in cases where it makes most sense just to get together and push back on the project / boss / client.

Plus you can only hear about e.g. responsiveness concerns like latency so much from the same team / project before you realize: The people themselves are attempting to work more like, and to become more like, machines. They are also thinking about "my latency" as a way of becoming as responsive as possible. If that's true of the group, you're lucky if the burnout isn't already so well entrenched as to be celebrated.
Right, I always open news front pages from a bookmark for some reason, and stories as background tabs. Each tab has its own delay-block when activated, and at some point I usually close unread tabs instead of waiting for them.

But the block repeats every few hours, and I'm pretty sure that clicking on a link within the same tab repeats the block then (maybe depends on the page). So yes, the "dosage" of how many delays you get is not very well controlled for. Still, I'm using this setup for years and it definitely does something for me.

If they're exposing the flaws of western capitalism, I view that as a positive. That they are also acting for profit doesn't negate the value of forcing incumbent US megacorps to actually get off their butts and invest in improving products.

You said it yourself: later editions are improved often times. Yes, some of this gain is due to lower worker standard, but I highly doubt ATT, VZ, etc. are really maximizing for worker standards, either.
This isn't that though. This isn't every individual's personal bias; this is a publicly declared bias by the commander in chief. A little different.
> It's hard to feel too sorry for these companies. It's not exactly a secret that this is how China operates

You mean every developing nation? Just look at U.S. industrial espionage in Europe during the 18th-19th century when it was developing.

Pretending this is somehow how China specifically operates is disingenuous.
> It's hard to feel too sorry for these companies. It's not exactly a secret that this is how China operates and has operated for a very long time.

I see this as a win-win. These U.S. companies tried to take shortcuts by outsourcing to China and they got burned. China engaged in all sorts of unethical and illegal behavior in the process and will (hopefully) get burned.
> I have... never met anyone in real life who doesn't like slack. I only hear negative opinions about it here.

While I have literal never discussed Slack with someone who likes it. Actually not completely true: at my last company one developer thought it was great but after a few months I heard her curse it as a "place information goes to die". In my experience it doesn't scale beyond a very small number of people who know each other well. Sending commands from its command line is not as easy as simply sending them from, you know, the command line (which is scriptable).

As a side point it astonishes me that after all the money they raised and people they hired they can't get video working on mobile, just laptop/desktop.

There's a big misconception, especially with older generations, that just because the kids are better at figuring out what buttons to press they must understand how the machine works. Probably because the computers that older generations grew up with required a certain degree of technical expertise in order to do basic things.
I think the perception that people commonly have of IP protection in China is out-of-date by several years.

From what I've read, the level of IP enforcement has increased dramatically since about 2014, to the point where there are more IP cases heard in Chinese courts now than in any other country. Likewise, more patents are now filed in China each year than in any other country. It's also not as if local companies always win disputes - foreign companies apparently have a very good track record in Chinese courts.

There's a description of the changes in recent years here:

1. https://www.ipwatchdog.com/2018/05/07/rapid-changes-chinese-...

2. https://thediplomat.com/2018/01/chinas-progress-on-intellect...

Back when China was in the earlier stages of industrialization, it really didn't care much about IP. But things aren't the same any more: China spends about as much on R&D as the US, and it has its own IP to protect. IP law was not on their radar before, but it very much appears to be now. But you can imagine how difficult it is to set such a system up. They've had to create an entirely new legal system, train judges, etc. China has changed so rapidly that it's difficult for these sorts of systems to keep up.
