Storing and serving files a lot cheaper and more reliably than current cloud providers seems like something people actually want.
Its currently looking at about 4 hours of single core CPU time, plus 2-3 hours more of using many cores for a 32GB sector.

The difference between sealing and an actual proof of work based network here is that once you've sealed a sector, you don't have to keep computing anything that expensive. If you seal 1TB and thats 1% of the network, you should win 1% of the blocks (ignoring network growth) without further sealing work required. I tend to think about it like a (calculus) derivative of PoW.
I wonder if your problem is entirely one of perspective or unrealistic standards. Let's try to break it down.

Why did you stop exercising/dieting/working on side projects? Did it not feel good? Or was it because you weren't meeting your goals? What were you trying to achieve?

It's good to take some time to think about whether you should be doing anything to begin with and pivot to stuff you actually feel like doing.
The word "dead" is hardly offensive. It's a common and universal part of nature. All things eventually die, including software.
Black swans, by definition, are things that we could not have predicted. That where the power lies -- they change everything.

Rare events like viral outbreaks are probably not in this category. That doesn't mean they aren't impactful or relevant, but OP is right - they're not a black swan, in the definition created by Taleb.
^ Namecheap CEO

Can you explain the legal details of what's happening here? Who's responsibility is it to deal with domains that are potentially dangerous, what exactly is facebook suing you for? What rule are they talking about when they say you're supposed to provide the WhoisGuard information (someone else mentioned that's only for government requests)?

I've also seen some complaints by other people here that there are some namecheap domains that are sometimes scammy and namecheap sometimes deals with them and other times they don't (based on user comments here). Can you clarify if namecheap does indeed take action and if so, why they haven't here?

Also in the future, you might want to sign off at the end of the comment since it's really easy to ignore the username as it's grayed out. And FWIW, great job with namecheap, I've had a really good experience with it.
Yes. Do you know what content was on there? Scam/malware? Critical reporting on facebook's business processes? A parody site making fun of whatsapp? A redirect to Signal?

At least two of the 4 examples I gave are perfectly legal even under trademark and/or copyright law. And 3 are non-malicious
I think it’s absolutely fair to expect autonomous vehicles to have awareness of a probable side collision in an intersection and be able to speed up or slow down to avoid it.

I often see oncoming cars rushing to make a left turn past when their arrow has turned yellow and red, and so I know not to enter an intersection even though my light has turned green.

Autonomous systems in theory should be better than humans at this because they can track all surrounding objects and trajectories, not just ones they are looking at with one set of eyes.

I think the accident rate is kind of a meaningless stats. You can have a low accident rate by carefully controlling the conditions under which you test. Not many accidents means they aren’t pushing the envelope. That’s probably a good thing on public roads. It’s also why the system is not available for general public use except under extremely controlled routes and close (remote) supervision.

I think it’s great we have (at least) two mega-companies in a race trying different approaches to reach a solution. There are good points for and against both approaches. This is what makes life interesting, you can’t just run the numbers to predict the future.
Not attempting to excuse their lack of action, but there are cases where it's somewhat understandable why a registrar may not take action. For instance, if the only service they're actually providing is registration, the domain belongs to a long time customer, and they aren't hosting the site or dns, they're only left with one very blunt action they can take. It's frustrating for sure, but registrars are very hesitant to take such harsh action on long-standing customers.

In that example the domain is likely compromised though, so you need to be reporting to all the hosting providers involved as well and not just the registrar.
Well, their whois proxy services. Namecheap has other proxy services (email for sure, I think also some configurations like parking and redirection use an HTTP proxy), so not specifying whois proxy is pretty confusing.

I imagine that extra power consumption has to be less than the combination of non idle HDDs and all of the other infrastructure at backblaze, no? And they're still going to be idle most of the time.

And there's the added likelihood that people providing hdd space on filecoin are not going to even measure the impact of extra power consumption, they're just going to notice the revenue. (Not that this is a good thing, if someone was losing money, they should know)

Trunk based using short lived feature branches is the only thing I've used that has made any sort of sense in terms of value vs. complexity.
Yeah and that's why they're happy.
Seems like a lawsuit is the exact legal method that should be used to uncover the names that Facebook is seeking. As a Namecheap user who also sometimes uses whoisguard, I would expect Namecheap NOT to turn over any information until required to do so buy a subpoena signed by a judge. There is probably no other way to get one than to file a suit and ask a judge for it.
Maybe I was not clear.

Whatever is the technology that you use to register the active backends in the DNS, rather than doing name => ip address lookup per request, you can resolve all those names => ip address maps upon the service being brought up/taken down and push the resolved map as a set of backends into nginx config, thus removing the need to query DNS per request.
I enjoy reading about Dyson and reading his writings. Among the greats he seems the most human. Von Neumann was always this martian with an IQ of 500, Einstein the quintessential absent-minded professor, Feynman the trickster genius, Landau the force if nature in life and research. But stories about Dyson always radiate human warmth. Very inspiring.
Elon has stressed this. Design is easy, building is hard, building at scale is harder. Thus the reason he iterates on the design is to make each design iteration also an iteration in the manufacturability, not just the functional design.
Unpopular opinion: people could stop trying to speculate everyt-f-thing and amplifying the negative consequences of everything! Stop trying to "prepare" for stuff or, worse, to speculate as to take advantage of stuff happening!

Just accept that there will be a temporary extra increase in mortality, and move one, carry on all life and economic activity as if nothing much happened, because it didn't! Promptly silence the panic mongers. "Live and let die", so to say, until solutions (vaccine, drugs) come to market.

Paraphrasing what a wise American once said in a sad September day: go about you business! go shopping! (ok, maybe do more of it online, but whatever...)

In this particular case, even the orange guy has a better/healthier attitude towards this and more sense than VCs and the stock markets!

A reproducible build is very different than cryptographically attesting the binary state of especially the kernel.

If I can't produce a binary with the same "reproducible state" as the one you had because your _kernel_ was one that I don't run (especially because maybe I don't _want_ to run it), that destroys all the value of a reproducible build.

A reproducible build should not _undermine_ software freedoms, specifically those protected by a Free Software license. But trusted computing always undermines software freedoms: that's by design. It's intentional. It's all about locking 100% of the users into a single monoculture where there is minimal freedom.

And that's fine in a managed IT environment such as a corporation. But it's not ok when I buy hardware and the manufacturer refuses to hand over the certificate chain to me.
Not to me. Many of the best companies are founded or hit their stride in weak economic times. If a startup needs a booming economy to keep growing it may not be that good of a business.

That said, I am not wishing layoffs on anyone. But if you don't accept bad times along with good times you are not really a market capitalist.
Haha, imagine a company suing another for the way people use their platform, as if it’s their responsibility to police the people using it for harmful purposes! Ridiculous!
That’s insane to me. Growing up in sunny California, I’ve never experienced anything below 40°F. And 68° is freezing cold to me. Maybe I’m just unhealthy.

If you factor in that during sleep your body is actively restoring your organs, and mind is flushing/filing the info collected during the wake hours. How many hours needed for that is an intriguing question. But hardly this time is wasted, unless your sleep is ... restless.

I recently watched an episode of "Nova" on the subject of sleep (Mysteries of Sleep), very convincing , even to some toddlers fussy about the sleep as usual :)
Yeah, kids are expensive. What's the value of raising the next generation of humanity?

You don't need more space then that. That's for the summary of what the article / media is that follows - which all books/news articles, etc should have, and which few nowadays have, that is well written.

Twitter's strength is it appears peer to peer, twitters weakness is it isn't at all.
Yes, I knew it reminded me of something - that's it!
Yup, more so with GDPR. It is nobodies business who's behind a domain. Authorities can of course figure it out (with subpoena, as it should be) should the need arise.
I find the homesteading lifestyle so unattractive from a non western perspective. The image of the lone couple battling the elements and enduring the herculean task to be self-sufficient... yikes!

Compare to the crop of Chinese youtube channels, like Lingzhi, Diaxi that show village farm life. These are more attractive because it shows self-sufficiency in the context of a larger village community. Everyone comes to help in the harvest. Everyone comes to help to slaughter a pig. Everyone comes to preserve the latest crop of fruit.

But these America homesteading channels... so dreary. You and you alone have to work sun up and sun down, why? Where is the rural communal life?
"Trusted" may be military intelligence jargon, but term "trusted computing" originated at Microsoft in the early 2000s. After several particularly nasty internet worms gave the company a (justified) reputation of terrible network security, the they launched the "Trustworthy Computing"[1] initiative to rebuild trust in their platform with several security improvements.

"Trustworty Computing" eventually became the "Palladium"[2] project with more ambitious goals including DRM. Palladium evolved into NGSCB ("Next-Generation Secure Computing Base") when Microsoft joined with other companies to form the TCPA ("Trusted Computing Platform Alliance") that later became the ("Trusted Computing Group").

The term has always been used by Microsoft (and later the TCPA/TCG) mean a trustworthy platform, from the developer perspective[3].

Spotify are trying to "fix" that.
I totally agree. Namecheap probably had to tell Facebook, "get a warrant". If they DIDN'T do this, they would then be responsible for policing EVERY site they provide WhoisGuard for, and that would be ridiculous.

Facebook is trying to use this as a way to show they are concerned about privacy and security, but they're coming across as bullies that didn't get what they wanted and now they have to use the necessary legal methods to do so.
RSS does play a growing role in a few places: podcasts [1] and virtual assistant apps (e.g. Alexa [2], Google Home[3], etc.) Although in both cases consumers do not tend to have direct access to it.

>would likely be split up more equitably

Unfortunately that isn't how it works out. In traditional households where both parents work, the woman also does the housework and childcare on top of her work due to inherited gender roles. There was a study done where it showed gay couples are happier, precisely because the traditional gender imbalances don't apply.
That is definitely true. In a way, the user of DRM is the content provider, not the owner of the playback device.

But this is exactly the idea of trusted computing:

"Prove to me that I can trust your hardware to run my software according to my specifications, and I will use it to compute things (for our mutual benefit) that I would otherwise only compute on my own hardware."

DRM is the canonical example, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to actually know that cloud service provider has to adhere to their terms of service, rather than having to take their word for it?

(The big "if" here is that the terms of service are expressible and enforceable in the context of some piece of software.)

Yeah, probably a perfect metaphor.

The podcast industry might be booming, but the days of nearly every podcast being freely available with an RSS feed is certainly over. Granted this is mostly a business decision rather than a technical decision. Companies like Spotify want you to listen to their podcasts on their platform. This allows them to better track ad statistics and push other revenue streams compared to podcasts served over traditional RSS feeds.
Correct, this is what we solved for.

I don't understand why you think that. Can you explain why having many release branches is harder in trunk based development?

In a previous job, we would just cherry pick bug fix commits over from master to all the active release branches. It wasn't hard.
For what it's worth, the problem with that process is that it creates an uneven burden. Any scammer with 10 bucks can create a misleading domain. This happened to us when some scammers created "autostempest.com" to mimic our car search site, autotempest.com. They put fake listings up and scammed many people out of tens of thousands of dollars. Our only legal recourse was a UDRP claim (short of suing namecheap, which would have been even more expensive), but that would have cost about $2000 because you need to go through a registered provider—and these are private companies, which take advantage of this regulatory oligopoly.

Now, $2000 would be worth it to shut down a scammer like that, except nothing stops them from simply ignoring the UDRP claim and once their domain is shut down, they can register autotempests.com or something for another 10 bucks. (They actually did end up registering autostempestgroup.com and several others.)

On the other hand, if you could simply go to the registrar, show clear evidence of the very obvious infringement, and have them shut down the domain, perhaps it would actually be feasible to put a dent in that kind of scam.

I do understand the concern of having a private company like Namecheap be the judge in these matters, but I'm not sure it's as black and white as that. I could see a system working where they do take unilateral action on obvious cases (autostempest, whatsappdownload.com, faceb00k, etc.), but require the formal process for less clear cases.

Our implementation of the underlying set reconciliation primitive is probably of more general interest to HN. I submitted it previously ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18645790 ) but it got no love.

Erlay itself is not terribly interesting except in the context of the specific robusness requirements such as exist in Bitcoin.

When robustness against malicious parties isn't a major concern O(N) gossip can also be achieved by more obvious protocols such as computing a spanning tree between nodes and forwarding along it. Erlay is interesting because it achieves the low bandwidth usage while preserving the robustness of "send everything to everyone you're connected to".
Trusted computing enables you to prove to a remote party what your machine is executing. This would be useful to cloud providers so they could prove to their users that their servers are only running their users' code without snooping on it. People would no longer have to choose only from well-known cloud providers to find a trusted host. You could imagine a marketplace where anyone could sell the compute power of their home computers (undercutting cloud providers' prices to make up for their lesser network connectivity) and use remote attestation to prove that they're not spying on or modifying their customers' compute workloads. The people selling their compute power like this can use sandboxing to protect their own system from the customers' compute workloads, and use trusted computing / remote attestation to protect the customers' compute workloads from their own system. I think it's extremely good for users when a technology removes the need for trust in big brands and allows anyone to compete.
Perhaps I’m missing your point but that sounds almost indistinguishable from a joint checking account?
I think you're confusing consumerist propaganda we are bombarded with in media designed to literally get us to purchase stuff from the ads they are displaying with real life people.

Real life people on average desire more quality time with their communities/families and to make themselves a "better person" through hobbies, learning, exercise, sports.
With the way things are set up currently, Intel is your root user, not you.
I'm curious about your thoughts on why a technical infrastructure, which, by nature of being cloud-native, is supposed to be (and likely has been) architected as a highly elastic platform, have not stood the test of time in this regard.

Based on the in information from Robinhood's careers site, their platform is largely based on the following technology stack:

- Python, Django, Django Rest Framework
- Go
- PostgreSQL
- Container and container orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Microservice-oriented architectures and related OSS technologies (Kafka, Celery/RabbitMQ, nginx, Redis, Memcached, Airflow, Consul)
- Cloud-native infrastructure (AWS, GCP)
- Infrastructure as Code and configuration management (Terraform, SaltStack, Ansible, Chef, Puppet)
- CI/CD and test automation frameworks (Cypress.io, Jenkins, Appium, UIAutomation, Bazel)
This is true. Another explanation could be a two stage testing process. The CI test for develop might run quickly in a few minutes, but the test suite for master might run for a day or require manual testing.

To the average consumer: yes. Why? Almost all news sites, blogs, journalists, etc. use Facebook pages and other social media as "RSS feeds" for their own websites. When people "like" a Facebook page or "follow" a Twitter account, they are basically adding that outlet to their RSS feed. And when they scroll through Facebook or Twitter, they are consuming that feed.

Social media has replaced RSS feeds for the vast majority of people. They tailor their feed by choosing who to follow and which pages to like, and the writers / media producers ensure that new content is automatically cross posted to their social media accounts so that it appears in people's feeds.

For tech people / people that read more niche sites, RSS is useful, but RSS will never become mainstream or widely adopted given the already widespread adoption of other Internet feeds such as social media platforms.
>You need to read into more about how to set up in-cluster multi-tenancy.

I am trying to do that. Where would you suggest? Throughout the comments on this post, when people suggest namespace, pod or node level separation you ask them to PTAL and read the link which suggests the single-tenant cluster-per-project approach (that is under the Multi-tenant cluster, confusingly.) The link you sent talks about cluster-per-project, which is not multi-tenancy as I understand it. Perhaps a different name would be less confusing (robust federated cluster administration?)
Sorry...I just found it at the left side by the taxi. Fantastic idea, UI & song selection...working great :-). Thank you!!
That is the point. I’m curious what kind of program OP is proposing over just having a JCA.
The XPS 15 is probably the better of all the options, except for the System76 stuff which has way better hardware options and is cheaper - but what's the quality like? I'd have to see/try one.
> and what parenting challenges you face at the broadest level

> The data in those initial three questions flows into Segment and from there into our analytics tools

This is the worrying part. The fact that you're a parent and the particular broad challenges you face are already somewhat sensitive and useful for advertisers. It's fine if this info stays with you internally. It's not fine if your service providers start using it for their own cross-site marketing purposes.

Between individuals, trust works transitively - you trust them, I trust you, therefore I somewhat trust them too, within the scope of our relationship. Between individuals and companies, in the realities of Internet and modern advertising, it unfortunately does not work that way.

(I don't really expect you do anything about third-party analytics on the frongpage; I just want to voice the concerns.)

> we strive to treat your data with the same level of rigor that a medical service provider would apply

Aim higher. I have a doctor in my family, and you wouldn't believe some of the privacy horror stories I hear happen in hospitals.
Rather obviously it isn't. I'm not sure why you'd even ask.

I'm not the only one with external NAT that I can't do anything about; the question is what to do to mitigate this.

Switching to an explicit hub-and-spoke model would work around this, but at the expense of what I consider one of ZeroTier's biggest strengths: transparent meshing. If two machines in the network are on the same LAN, I'd like them to use that rather than the network.

Faster detection of the failure of the NAT-piercing peer-to-peer link, with fallback to the "moon" while the peer-to-peer link is being re-established, would substantially increase the usability for people, like me, who are stuck with the NAT they've got. As I alluded to, the new multi-path features that ZeroTier is getting might help with that.
