Again: as ANY big company looking to evade taxes, this is not a fault of Sweden.

Why are most SV tech companies in the US incorporated in Delaware? Is it because California sucks and should lower their tax rates or employer obligations to the bottom of the pit that Delaware created?

You never replied my other comment about companies that are still incorporated in Sweden such as Volvo, Electrolux, etc., so you can be done as much as you want peddling your point of view, it doesn't make it right.

Edit: checking your comment history tells me that you call what Bernie Sanders is pushing for as "socialism" and you use that as an excuse to vote for Trump 2020, come on.
What the hell have we been working on if not that? What good is an autonomous driving system that is not able to consider what happens next?!?!?!?!????
It is causing issues for forensics (before that people were using SMS, IMAP, and SMTP; all without TLS). It isn't fool proof, for example if your adversary can gain access to Google Drive or iCloud via a warrant. Although making backups via such platforms is optional.
Sometimes the ball will go through the other slit. As with light bouncing around, it will go through both slits.

I grabbed a $45 eBay Dell 9010, added a $12 dual NIC card, installed VMware on an tiny thumbdrive, threw in an old SSD and HD, and used the 4GB DIMMs I had laying around. Makes a perfect server for pfsense, media, and whatever web stack I want to spin up.
Can you describe how Signal leaks your phone number and what capabilities and adversary needs to get it? (I know the answer, I am asking rhetorically, because I don’t think that someone who knows the answer would make that case.)
Author advocates "wormhole" as the alternative to pgp for sending files. It is written in Python. "Python" and "security" (or "good software engineering") do not belong in the same sentence.
But that is not something Assange has necessarily any knowledge about.

The deal was about revealing wikileak's source, so that connection to Russia could be confirmed or disproved.

As far as I undertand the only evidence pointing to Russia was that Russian IPs were used in the attack, which is an incredibly weak evidence.
A small reminder: internationalization is only one of many operations on dates, and libraries exist because browser api sucks at most of these.

Sweden is not socialist, for fucks sake, don't push this agenda here. Sweden has one of the freest markets in the world...

Great work creating a vibrant community in just a short couple of years! This is certainly a space that's only going to grow and you have positioned yourself well.

As someone deeply interested/involved in the area, I have a few leading questions and a shameless plug:

- From the description of your pivot, it seems that you plan for this to become a job board/professional profile/LinkedIn/Behance of AR. Did I understand that correctly? What do you consider to be the main source of revenue in that case?

- Do you feel that the simplification of your stack from JS to PHP helped you be more agile for 2.0? This is a tangential question but the answer is likely an interesting one given the choices and current web dev trends.

- Can you share some of your most successful SEO/Traffic tricks with the HN community? What worked the best? We love to hear a great creative/innovative bootstrap story.

- Do you miss working in AR dev itself given your background in the space or do you feel the most value comes from empowering other creators in the AR community?

- Shameless plug: https://pinealeye.co/adkitxr/ We are working on 3D native ads for AR/MR/XR. Check us out, let me know what you think, and let me know if there is a potential/interest for a partnership. I see a big synergy between building a community of creators who want to get their creations known, and our technology.
That was probably a factor - does HN do this for all newbie comments though? Most of the 'dead' comments I see are more obviously dodgy.
I wonder if this requires you to have locales locally installed? How compatible is this?

Recently learned that you can internationalize dates right in your Postgres queries/functions! tps://stackoverflow.com/a/59632278/741970. Postgres has great date functionality in general, but with Linux locales installed you can use it for just about anything date related.
Do you believe the usual insurance programmes will not help in the event of a hack?

Why Singapore's admired virus playbook can't be replicated
The honeybee is a domesticated species, and there are breeding programs set on making honeybees more resistant to the mite and virus that are often the cause of colony collapse. It's a tricky process though.

My guess is that genetic engineering of the bees or their microbiome will end up being the solution.

Or we can just let them all become africanized...

When it comes to looking up location from IP address I suspect the biggest concern is how accurate the dataset is, rather than how fast it is.

It seems you're using the free data from ip2location.com, which is one I've not heard of. How accurate is it? What restrictions apply to their data usage if I want to deploy their DB on 100+ devices?

The whole date internationalization thing should be deprecated. Everybody smart enough to use a computer is smart enough to understand ISO 8601 (which is by all means better than any other human-readable way to record a date). I also hate the fact some countries use comma instead of the decimal point (which causes problems often). Keeping these differences alive doesn't seem to serve any good purpose. These things should really be made a part of the metric system.

Correct. They bought the business and future cash flows but the AUM are not included in the valuation beyond the extent to their contribution to cash flow.
I you find a VMS box deployed, you can bet it's controlling something really, really important nobody wants to mess with.

I have migrated 2 companies away from internal billing systems (one went to Stripe and the other went to Chargify). The amount of hacks that went into maintaining these internal systems was shocking. One company literally devised its own currency to deal with the complexity.

Managing and developing your own billing system is a almost always a bad idea, no matter how big your company is.

I've thought in the past, once the compute is available in a low-enough-power form, you can continually increase the resolution (frame rate) that autonomous vehicles view the world.

Essentially giving them 'The Flash' like vision. You could then have all kinds of predictive models based on various patterns.
In a way I find it offensive that this service effectively denies my biological masculinity, which I consider to be an essential and distinguishing part of my identity. However, I'll not bother making a fuss because I realise there are far more important things in life: this being the difference between me and the virtue-signalling intellectual and moral pygmies in charge of ridiculous decisions like this.

Can you explain in what sense people voluntarily signing up for an educational course that they only have to pay for if they make a solid living within 5 years is the equivalent of hitting terminal cancer patients in the head?
In The Netherlands you can, as long as you comply with a number of rules (hours worked per year, number of clients, turnover). You have to send invoices, but can't charge VAT since you're not a business but a private person.

I'd check with your local Tax Service first, though.

As for your customers: are you selling B2B or B2C? For B2C I wouldn't really care (in fact, there are a number of paid apps that I use that were made by private persons!). For B2C it could be a problem because your clients won't be able to deduct the VAT.
If there was some kind of magical answer to the problem of the network effect, we wouldn't be in this mess with say privacy disregarding Facebook.

Exactly this - I ended up going with a brand in the UK called LAP for the downlighters in the bathrooms in my house. Not a single one has failed since 2016 when I installed them.

They weren't cheap, but they weren't mega expensive either.
> 1. PGP is old and broken and messages can potentially be decrypted without access to private key

GPG works.

> 2. Because email's default is plain-text, in real world conversations you end up with people replying in plain text with your whole message being quoted

Don't quote

> 3. Archived messages will leak. An e2e channel needs to have a way to inform receivers that messages should be deleted after some time

Don't archive

> 4. Private keys eventually leak, therefore it is important that when it happens, the system makes it hard to decrypt old messages (by combining it with ephemeral keys).

Delete them before they do.

The "new wave" of encryption like on from the guy calling himself Moxi Marlinspike is the prime definition of an unproven technology.

The screaming headline is because he wants to make noise, and get cred for his crowd.

His argument: GnuPG — a proven, and well reviewed technology is broken because some minor bugs were found, despite the fundamental crypto behind it still being more sound than anything else.

He then follows to say that a fundamentally less sound, complex unproven system, is a better alternative. And that even when the novel crypto messengers themselves are dogged with daily minor security bugs being found.

If I met the man in person, I would've said some warm words to him.
I remember 3-4 years ago when we were told they were 2-3 years away. I think even 10 years is optimistic if we expect them to handle "edge cases" like driving in the rain or snow, dealing with mis-painted lane lines, and differentiating between a plastic shopping bag and a tire in the road.
> few benefits of Brexit

...in your opinion. Please don't forget a majority of voters in the UK voted for it, and their opinion likely differs from yours about the benefits.
Insurance and police enforcement are two reasons why the decision will be removed from law abiding citizens and won't happen linearly.

Once proven safe (or if a manufacturer directly insures the product) the cost to adequately insure a vehicle (as prices of what you hit continue to increase), especially an older vehicle, will increase. With income inequality where it is (and state minimums lagging) it has already become common to have underinsured drivers (and the upper middle class are already paying more through uninsured motorist protection).

When it comes to police enforcement, but especially jurisdictions that use traffic stops to find or create crime to fundraise; the expense of having traffic police in a world where > 50% of cars can do no wrong flips the model.

Finally, there is a large group of people who will not drive a car that's 7 years old or has over 100k miles; combining with less trained ability to do maintenance on more computerized cars. These people claim to be in control, but at one check engine light away from doing whatever a dealer tells them.

Automated Legal&Compliance
Guys, quick idea validation - a service that provides you with fully GDPR & CCPA compliant Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. This could be a workflow: 1) You submit your URL & basic info (e.g. how payments are processed); 2) Team member with legal background checks out your website & you get drafts Terms of Services, Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy; 3) We do as many revisions as necessary; 4) Your legal documents are approved and delivered. It's single payment model including consultations with legal/compliance officer (no client-attorney relation established though). As an upsell, monthly compliance checks are possible ($19 per month). Pricing for that would be $179 (solo - 1 website), $1199 (business - up to 10 websites) & enterprise custom model. Standard 14 days refund available (unless the project is already approved). There are a lot of fully automated bots for compliance but they don't do a good job. Also, terms of service are usually blindly copied and it does little to protect founders (let alone be in compliance with EU law). Any interest at all?

Presumably that? I think the author is just saying that it's going to get better.

He is not privy to what his competitors have been working on, in any case, except whatever has been announced publicly. (Unless he is doing industrial espionage.) Maybe it's just that Voyage's cars weren't predicting up until now?
Astounding Artificial Intelligence Statistics for 2020

WhatsApp is another one of those, it was designed from the ground up for 2G and terrible signal. Whenever I had absurd ping or a 1-2KB/s connection, WhatsApp would still pull through and function as if my network was perfect (except for media download/upload of course).
This is good as a technical exercise, but poor as an actual solution to a problem.

Matching with potential partners is about showing interest.

If you're matching with many people, you likely won't be able to divide all your time between them at once.

If you're matching with people and not messaging them, it's similar to blowing them off or not showing enough interest.

This will have a negative impact on your dating life.

For anyone looking for love, I would recommend quality over quantity.

Just my 2 cents, and based on nothing more than my own experiences.
I'd recommend watching this talk by Sean Carroll: https://youtu.be/F6FR08VylO4

I think it's a much simpler interpretation than the Copenhagen interpretation.

Here's an awesome discussion/debate between Carroll and a major MWI skeptic, David Albert: https://youtu.be/AglOFx6eySE

In this discussion, they cover what they consider "silly" and "important" criticisms of MWI. Respectfully, some of what you said in your comment is placed by them in the "silly" box.
The interface of sftp is largely the same as ftp. You can give someone an sftp client, username, and password and they wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

A new e2e protocol that works just like email does would be excellent, but we don't yet have that. Signal &co are chat apps with a different feel and purpose and other than matrix and xmpp not federated, which is a non starter for many entities.
> I want it to do something like a minimax search and do something that will be safe in the presence of the unexpected

This is called defensive driving, and you're wrong about it not being based on prediction. Defensive driving predicts that every wrong thing that can happen will happen and positions the vehicle to minimize the harm when they do.

Fundamentally, if you don't predict that the car up ahead may swerve into your Lane and slam on its brakes, then you're less defended when it does. Defensively choosing what to do and where to be at any moment is based on predicting it happening and acting accordingly.
To me, Yang seemed like an advertising platform to raise awareness on a few of his clearly defined issues such as reasons for war, freedom dividends, and support for mothers raising children. These are a small number of ideas any candidate or senator can adopt and as president, you don’t just write 3 bills go home, and call it a term. Sanders and Buttigieg seemed more capable and well equipped (to me at least) to be able to tackle the wider range of B.S. presidents have to deal with.

Or in my case, a bank that assumes I have mobile phone coverage at home. When I try to order anything on the internet these days it wants to send me a 6 digit SMS code, so now I can't order anything on the internet (although Amazon and Paypal still work, touch wood).

There was a link on HN a few months ago discussing a new strain of bees [0] being bred up in Canada that are supposedly much more resistant to some of the mites and diseases that are commonly affecting hives. As far as pesticides go, though, I'd imagine that it's going to be pretty hard to develop an insect that isn't affected by chemicals carefully engineered to affect insects; we're going to have to shift away from using these sorts of treatments, neonicotinoids especially, in our agriculture.

It’s not emitting the light on its own, and the fluorescence is unrelated to its radioactive nature. Uranium glass is generally considered harmless to keep around on display as long as you’re not keeping it close to your body for long durations.

That being said, you shouldn’t be eating or drinking from it. If pieces chip off and get inside your body, that can be bad.
