Why can't we have any other organization to which we delegate our power, but which then does exactly what we want it to do?

Because with the power comes an opinion on how to best wield it — maybe entirely for the good of the community, but often not limited by that. People why strive to be in control most often have their own axe to grind, too.

But a larger problem is the "they want". "They" are many people, and their opinions on a particular topic are "mostly aligned" at best. This is not a single opinion or want. This is why any collective action of this sort can be "mostly satisfactory" for the participants at best, and often quite disliked by some minor fraction of them.
And if anyone wants to help contribute data, there are a few ways to get started.

1. The minimal: Raspberry Pi and an RTL-SDR dongle. You can even use the small stock antenna that often comes with a dongle, if you put it near a window.

2. A real 1090 MHz antenna, plus filter + amp will greatly increase your performance, and cost less than $100.

Free snacks has to be one of tech companies most profitable endeavors.

They've got a bunch of workers who cost them on the order of 1 to 4 dollars per minute. If they can spend a dollar on a snack to get 2 minutes more work out of them, they are making a killing.

Snacks aren't part of your salary for being an employee of your company, they're your company trying to make as efficient use of your work time as possible. By avoiding you walking around looking for your own snacks, by making sure you aren't hungry and therefore underperforming, etc.

The same goes for meals by the way, I can't believe the number of places that have expensive employees go buy food for themselves blocks away... they're literally throwing away money by not having cheap employees fetch it in a single batch.

> I have no idea how this relates to the HyperCard integration.

As I mentioned, QuickTime Movies were to be the file format for HyperCard 3.0 stacks, with QuickTime the HyperCard 3.0 runtime. The QuickTime team demonstrated it at WWDC in 1996.

> Apple didn't make an authoring tool for this feature, but another company did: “LiveStage” by Totally Hip.

The two most Flash-like tools for authoring QuickTime's interactivity capabilities were LiveStage and Electrifier Pro[1]. Additionally, several other tools (like Adobe GoLive and Terran Cleaner) supported simpler forms of interactivity. I was in Apple evangelism/developer relations then, so I was the person working with QuickTime developers on the Apple side.

> Most networks like Flight Aware allow owners to blacklist aircraft such that their tracks do not appear on the site.

Do you know more about how this is done? Is there a fixed price list for this service? Can one "buy" it online? Is there some sort of registry that is shared between networks?

> Additionally military aircraft are typically not reported.

While I'm sure the military can turn off transponders at will, I presume (?) they often fly with them on. Can these signals be tracked with "standard" gear when they are on?
Those "awesome" lists don't make sense to me because they just end up being a crowdsourced list of every piece of software in <category> with no moderation for quality.
I did exactly this on the last implementation of JWT I did. Common actions wouldn’t hit the database if the token was less than an hour old, but actions like changing email address or password would always check the database.
No not the email client. It's about choice of timber for TV studios.
So it seems that anyone can make up their favorite "architecture" even if it's not well defined. (Is MVC actually well defined?) My favorite was MVPC (Model-View-Player-Controller) as I was mostly developing an app for blind users, where a good speech/audio interface is the top priority. The "Player" here is much like an OS scheduler where you can post various tasks (speeches/sound effects) in a queue and get a notification when it's finished. This greatly simplified the event handling part as it eliminates the needs of individual timers, counters and flags.

I do think we should "get government out of the tax code" to a serious extent in that it shouldn't be in the business of taxing income, payroll, capital gains, etc. Calculate expenses / adult population and send each adult a bill for that number. This would be about $15k/adult as of last year which will sting, but will quickly make people realize how much the free stuff they've been taking from others costs.

> Corporations on the same list, surely? Unless you're lumping those in with the government, which makes sense.

Yes, there is a deplorable amount of crony capitalism and regulatory recapture. Part of the reason why we need to starve the federal government: it will always be abused by the most powerful. I do, however, trust a market with a thousand participants motivated by profit more than a government that has changing motives every few years, or depending on what the media prints.

> I don't really care what the new system looks like as long as I don't have to waste any more time or money enjoying the "benefits" of my "freedom" of "choice" under our current system.

Okay, pay a medical concierge firm to handle the paperwork for you. I don't care what you do or how you do it so long as you don't tell me what to do and don't make me pay for your choices.

With respect to my not-trusting-gov't point, here's why: https://news.sky.com/story/nhs-staff-can-refuse-to-treat-rac...

The NHS just changed rules to allow refusal of "non-emergency" care to people who meet one of their non-PC criteria. This after people saying that it's a "human right".
Ever since Sundar, a McKinsey guy, took over, the writing was on the wall for all of the bets that Sergey and Larry engaged in. He just cares about the bottom line (as some would argue he should), and doesn't have a "passion" per se. He's more than happy to just keep the train rolling, and keep the perception of growth up by showing more ads and using dark patterns[1] to make users click on what they think are web links but are actually ads. Eventually the train will run out of steam, and then its on to the next gig.

The GP is largely correct though. There are tons of incredibly beautiful small coastal towns in California - Crescent City, Fort Bragg, Gualala, the whole Point Reyes region from Bodega Bay to Stinson Beach, Pacifica, Half Moon Bay, Pescadero, Watsonville/Moss Landing, the Carmel/Monterey area, Morro Bay, Santa Barbara, etc. Cliffs or not, there are real settlements there, and they're gorgeous, even prettier than Santa Cruz. What they don't have is easy proximity to the jobs and tech wealth in the Bay Area.

People grow up and grow out of stuff, but people like having secret knowledge that is being "suppressed" by the mainstream and they'll cling to that forever. Nobody is coming to antivax or anti-climate change conclusions by sitting down, doing research, and reading textbooks. They see stupid facebook posts where somebody makes up a story about their kid being harassed/oppressed by doctors/teachers/everyone for being antivax, and they want to side with the underdog. Their stories are BS and fortunately most people know that.

Now what takes neonazis a step further is they say there's a conspiracy where "they" are trying to destroy them through any means possible and they need to be ready to fight. Nazis grew support 80 years ago because they invented stories of violence and oppression against them. If you really want to empower them today, give them documented threats of violence--they'll be grateful for you playing right into their hands.

Nazis were pretty solidly on the way out until the internet made them into a new boogieman. People who absolutely did not care about them or saw them as a joke started sympathizing. That's the first step to being persuaded. We managed to virtually eliminate anarchists by not giving them the time of day, and we can do it with nazis as well.

Linear algebra is exactly where "dimension" gets its abstract but very limited definition as a property of spaces, best summarized as an axis or direction, rather than a kind of space itself, which is what you need for anything like an alternate universe. I know this because I have in fact taken a course in it. I'm not sure what point you think you're making at this point.

> I have been streaming FR24 my ADS-B data for a few years. In return they give you a business account ($50/mo value).

I haven't done it myself, but if you are located somewhere that their network doesn't have good coverage, they'll even send you a free receiver and antenna to get you started: https://www.flightradar24.com/apply-for-receiver
We’re thinking along very similar lines! We’ve got some of our thoughts around evolving how timestamps work in Materialize written down here: https://github.com/MaterializeInc/materialize/issues/1309
Can you elaborate this more? I know about continental drifts and I know they occur at a scale much larger than a tiny box. Does it have any effect on the small scale a tiny box would be buried in if we are not burying the box near fault lines?
Certainly. And I doubt I would annoy many people due to locality, odds of them simply not driving past the thing, and of course, only a few people knowing I'm doing plate scanning and posting it online.

This is a government program, mandate even, with easily-downloaded data feeds.

My 'you can track my plane when...' was hyperbole for the moment. ADS-B compliance cost me a few thousand dollars. Getting off of the public 'radar' with my plane is on my 'get to it eventually' list of things to do. Somewhere around refinishing my deck and swapping my winter tires back for all-season. I'm bothered philosophically, but my actions say I'm not that bothered.

But to your point, if the government required all car owners to pop a GPS tag onto their honda, at a cost to them of a few hundred bucks, then gave the 24/7 surveillance data to the public freely, I can see a few noses being tweaked for a few different reasons.

Edit -- I guess this thread is getting too deep for more replies. Aircraft have registration numbers painted on their side. That's the analogy to license plates which are publicly visible, and systems do exist to video-capture those numbers (usually for billing purposes -- Vector is one I know of). ADS-B is automatic reporting/broadcasting by the aircraft itself. It is collected and distributed by government, and it is also capture-able by anyone with a receiver. I am not aware of any cars which broadcast their movements 24/7 to government, nor any initiative to make that happen at car-owner expense, nor the ability for one to capture that data freely on radio bands.

But I think the 'of interest to society' argument against cars is equally strong. Which was the original idea I was replying to. :)
And exactly how affordable is Morro Bay these days?
There was actually a situation where a person who was feeding the ADS-B Exchange network used their amateur radio callsign as their station ID, and another feeder looked up their info and called them to complain that their raspberry pi's clock was out of sync and screwing up the network.
Your stuff is my opinions too. It is difficult. WWW is a mess. There are other protocols and file formats which be used, which can sometimes be better depending on what you are doing, such as IRC, NNTP, Gopher, Telnet, SSH, etc. (And if that isn't good enough, you can make available something with multiple interfaces, in case some users prefer the web interface and some don't like it.)
Re: Shell, I think there's something similar playing out with automobile manufacturers and "mobility". They will honestly give it an effort, but perhaps without the clarity, expertise, or strategy that's actually needed to make it succeed in the long run. And then once it doesn't grow huge, they'll sell it, spin it off, or shut it down, because it was only ever a diversification bet, not their ambition at heart.

I worked at another music streaming company, we had to do the same.

That was hugely frustrating, but we would get user reports of the random button being buggy when e.g. the user gets 2 tracks of the same album/artist one after the other.

Of course that can happen if we truly randomize your content !

So we switched to a pseudo random algorithm that tries to have consecutive tracks from different album/artists.
Yup. `conditional or return fallbackValue`. Rubocop desperately wants to change this to `conditional || return fallbackValue` but that's just.... not a thing.
Thanks, I'm interested in learning a code-based solution. I like the ideas behind CDK, Pulumi and Terraform, but I feel like they all have trade-offs.

> Excluding unengaged subscribers who have not opened an email from us in the last XXX days

How would you know if they've opened it? For example, I never allow the display of pictures (external ones, not included in the email itself via data URIs) in my email client, nor anything else that might result in a ping to a server. That's the default behavior of most email clients, isn't it?
I’m not sure that’s wrong.

I think it’s prudent to only assert what we believe we have enough evidence to assert with commensurate certainty.

Surely that means we’ll underestimate historic abilities and skills but it’s better than presume things based on “no-evidence” because then it’s speculation without ground facts.

For what it's worth, the FAA has been pretty explicit that they don't want drones on ADS-B. There's not enough bandwidth.

They have a proposal to create a parallel tracking system just for drones. It's created quite the uproar in the drone/model-aircraft community.

The "customers" that just happen to be the very same shell companies described at trial, engaged in the very same shenannigans with "their" IP addresses? Those customers?

I mean, come on. I think at this point you're just retreating into pedantry, arguing that the linked article doesn't meet appropriate evidentiary standards when presented in a blog post and therefore we need to assume that Micfo is innocent in the sense of this one article not meeting a sufficient burden of proof. So... OK.

But anyone with a brain can see that this is a personal story about exactly what was going on, and thus that it's clearly describing related activities. Some of which, again, were clearly illegal.
Hi I have two questions:

1. How can I be sure sensitive date sent via the APIs is secure / private etc?

2. Is you reliability and availability 100%, because if I use you my app's availability is now only as good as yours. We've been bitten by cascading effects of outages of upstream cloud services, but something like this would knockout everything I guess if it was down.
I think that the email client I use does not support tracking anyways.
Ask HN: Is this plan for using API key for security a good idea?
I have an AWS API Gateway that I need to "secure". I'm putting that in quotes because I realize that what I am thinking of doing - api keys - isn't secure in the true infosec sense of the word, i.e., I'm using a usage management tool for security purposes.

My question is this.

If I implement anti-CORS by only allowing my client-side js to call my API from a specific domain (access-control-allow-origin = mydomain.in) with a specific api key, is that a good practice?

I will also be implementing API GW authorizer which rejects api calls made with my client-side js exposed api key if the http_origin isn't mydomain.in. As far as I can tell, this will protect me from people using curl, Postman, or Insomnia to make API calls using the api key they extracted from my client-side js code.
Because that's what bug reports are helpful for: organizing and collecting data, which helps with the whole "finding a repro case" and eventually fixing this issue.

Did you think bugs got fixed by mentioning "me too" in a HN comment thread? :)

Browsers are already opt-in; you can download another. Laws are a bit more difficult to change.
Of course, since it is the easiest way to do it, and it makes sense. That is where viewdidappear, etc. is.
If you want it as pain-free as possible, optimize for the transition once it's ready, and so avoid making improvements over the UI. Leave UI improvements until after people are using it.

I've been working on rebuilding a legacy system for the last "few" years, and now that it's mostly ready, we have a nightmare in figuring out how to transition the users as seamlessly as possible. They can do everything, simpler, but it's different, and will require training. Improvements would have been a lot better to do piecemeal after they've started using the new codebase. After discussing it a few months ago, we came to the agreement that we really should have done a port that resembled the original as closely as possible to ease the transition.

Too late to back out of it now, though.
