I can’t turn on notifications like that. Just reading it makes me want to smash your laptop
I'm talking about a society itself run by warlords and rival gangs without institutions, not deliberate twisting of the word to refer to geopolitical actions.

You also apparently deliberately overlook the contrast between the US, which at least makes strong attempts to build and maintain a democracy at home and export those benefits to the world, vs. other world powers like RUS or CCP, which are effectively gangs.

Seriously, consider the consequences of ceding geopolitical hegemony to Putin or CCP, or just having global anarchy. Start with massive increases in pollution as all international cooperation halts and the economies crash and 9 billion people get more desperate.
I feel perfectly entitled to judge those who spend their days dreaming of Mars as a solution to their problems.

I will not support such efforts, and I feel quite comfortable being a detractor as well.

Who are you to tell me what to judge?! This argument gets you nowhere with me.
"Their abilities vary, but UBI won't help them as they will just waste it on some other scam."

This is correct. For scammers this will be a new gold mine. But I guess it will be a gold mine for everyone. It's 2.8 trillion every year injected into the economy. If you look at it like that than the question is, how can I divert some of that money into my own pockets?

Since you've made this distinction, can you explain more? How would the person I replied to not be both? In what scenario are they different people?
I don't really understand the distinction between develop and master either. You're supposed to branch off develop and merge forward back into develop, then merge into a release branch, then merge into master. So everything in develop is supposed to end up in master.

So... why not branch off master and merge back into master?
Producing more value than you are compensated for ... hmmm what does that sound like? You could say it sounds like the human condition. Which employees in the pyramid do you think have the worst scalar here?
I agree with your point but that's just astoundingly stupid to put a team of people on building your own features on top of Jira without first spending 5 minutes to look into whether your new features have already been developed in more recent versions.

Has anyone thought about asking engineering to implement or build an interface for someone else (business side?) to manage country level differences in taxes?
And to be clear, all Namecheap had to do to prevent this lawsuit was identify the owners of or delete the obviously-phishing and obviously-TM-infringing domain names. They didn't, so now Facebook is taking them to court over it.
That's the other argument for nationalizing the pharmaceutical industry: broadening the supply chain. When Hurricane Maria destroyed Puerto Rico there was a shortage of saline in the US, because margin is so low that the market can only support very few manufacturers, many of which were on Puerto Rico.

Right now we are looking at another rash of shortages. The Indian government has banned export of certain medications and pharmaceutical intermediates because India is worried about the coronavirus outbreak and domestic shortages.
Please, please, just: no.

I have some background studying Russian (including Soviet) history (a semester class on Stalin, other reading, etc); we can observe what is happening to Venezuela, and many other cases where it sounded good, to someone, to make things better by more government control. I have experience dealing with Medicare (USA) (details at http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854586100.html ). And (I hope) some grasp of the underlying principles involved of freedom vs. control, allowing mistakes vs. severely stifling everyone.

All of which most strongly persuade me that nationalizing more health-related things is a really bad idea. It prevents us from doing more good otherwise, in the private sector.

Edit: One interesting positive is civica rx, a nonprofit that is a great start, for example. (https://duckduckgo.com/?q=civica+rx&ia=web https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civica_Rx ).

Other laws could be appropriate, but only very thoughtfully, with foundational principles of liberty in mind.

This sentiment seems to be rooted in a misunderstanding of what trusted computing is trying to achieve on a fundamental level.

The idea is not to "take control over people's computers", i.e. your trust in your own computer. It is rather to enable somebody to gain some level of trust in the computations that are happening on somebody else's computer.

Yes, this technology is commonly used for DRM, and that was one of its earliest applications. But it's not limited to that. Trusted computing can switch the roles and give you as a user certainty over the computations a third party provider performs in the cloud on your behalf. The Signal team is doing a lot of very interesting experiments there [1].

If your concern is a hardware backdoor or something similar, this is less of a question of trusted computing, and rather one of trust in hardware vendors. Your hardware vendor can screw you over entirely without TPM, TEE, secure elements and the like.

On the other hand, Intel's trusted computing platform being horribly broken does not magically give you FOSS replacements for all the firmware, ROMs and microcode running on the dozens of peripherals in your computer.

83% of them wouldn’t see any effect.

Unfortunately that might just compel them to keep trying.
a potentially fair point. Please provide one or two reasons as to how this development is not absolutely great for users
There are plenty of software packages with perpetual licensing that do not operate Oracle-style licensing BS and support.

My experience with SaaS support is terrible. In my recent experience, software with Oracle-style licensing BS offer way better support.

The flip is of being 'stuck' on a version is constant updates. Oh, they decided that the UI need a complete revamp over the weekend and now everything runs slower as folks learn the new interface that was foisted upon them. Or a SaaS decides to change its API and our custom integrations break. Not all SaaS platforms are good at communicating change and preparing users for change. Sending an email to the accounting person that paid the bill about the API change does no one any good.

It seems we could argue this in either direction. Point is that some things I would like to buy perpetual, for reasons, are only available as SaaS. For the most part, in my case, SaaS isn't the best answer but in some cases I'm stuck with it. SaaS drives up costs, and frustration levels among the staff.

I think this must be a case of Poe's Law in action: I really can't tell if you're serious or joking!
Yes, that's because phishing is an actual crime.
> Root DNS servers operate in safes, inside locked cages. A clock sits on the safe to ensure the camera feed hasn’t been looped.

That is cool. Does anyone have any more info? Perhaps a picture?
This is probably going to be unsatisfactory as it will be a bit vague but I'm going to try ... :)

I think part of the challenge we're trying to help with is that lots of places (blogs, websites) say 'this is good for children.' Which could be true (if backed by the research) but that takes an averages approach (I love the book End of Average by Todd Rose.) It sounds a little millenial, but there is no average child and so an approach the uses averages often doesn't work.

Our experts get to know the specific family, philosophies and kids, and then bring their expertise (which includes the population scale research) to support them in a way that makes sense for them.

It's a bit like where we do population-level research on health, but we don't then expect that everyone take the same approach based on a few inputs. We still get them to talk to a doctor.
Pot calling the kettle blue...
Or, alternatively, remove the domain names, since they're blatantly phishing domains.

I think anonymous domain registration is an important property to preserve. Many people need such services for their safety. However, if you're going to serve as an anonymity shield for another party, you're taking on some of that party's liability, and in particular you need to take down malicious domains.
I've freelanced and run a digital agency
Facebook sues NameCheap for allowing people to register phishing domains, and failing to meet their obligation to provide information about those domains when notified. But it's not near as good a headline.
> Figure out fair market value for it

How would one do that without a fair market?
With Pine Phone and Fxtec Pro finally comming as very suitable platforms for mobile Linux distros I can see some of the work also spilling to support on originally Android devices. Also you can get officially supported Sailfish OS on a range of Sony Xperia devices and Sailfish OS is pretty close to a regular GNU/Linux distro.
It still has to be done.
They aren’t even sueing for _allowing_. You can’t expect namecheap to know every possible domain that could be used to impersonate Facebook. They are sueong because namecheap isn’t cooperating in their investigation..
Yeah its basically aesthetics. I do like keeping the release identifier separate from branches though just for categorization purposes (branches = development, tags = releases)
Title is misleading, from the article:

> We sent notices to Whoisguard between October 2018 and February 2020, and despite their obligation to provide information about these infringing domain names, they declined to cooperate.

Title should be closer to "Facebook sues Namecheap/Whoisguard for not providing information on phishing domain registrants"
I would love all the hours back I spent in discussions around branching strategy, trying to keep complex models understood across the team (and myself), dealing with painful merges and flowing changes through, trying to figure out if a change is in a branch already, etc..

It's so much simpler and more productive if everyone works in master, with new features behind a flag if need be, with just critical fixes ported to release branches.

There will always be arguments for why a more complicated branch strategy needs to be introduced. Resist those arguments. In my experience, the cost rarely pays for any benefits. Writing good software is hard enough already.
I had a K6-II which I put a big heatsink and large fan on (had to ghetto mod the mounting), sawed a 120mm hole in the case just above the cpu and put another fan there. It overclocked handsomely and stable after that. I don't remember the exact frequencies but I think it was 266MHz stock and clocked close to 400MHz with some modifications.
Singularity – A Container Platform
Agreed. Outcome based pricing is a pretty easy step in the right direction and helps to aligns the stakeholders.The drug company only gets paid if the patients get the desired outcome.

The current system is completely bonkers. Insurance company profits are capped at a fixed percent, so they want to drive costs as high as possible. Pharma Benefit managers get paid by insurance based on list prices, so they also want to maximize price. Lastly, the manufacturer gets paid by PBMs based on list price minus kickbacks, and obviously wants to turn a profit
Chuck schumer threat Supreme Court: Something bad (Surely) will happen
I know some attorneys are on HN, so question: does Namecheap/Whoisguard have a legal obligation to reveal that requested info?

I saw one at a data center in El Segundo once. It was 2011 and about 60% of the DC was a single guy sitting on the floor quietly packing up MySpace servers.
How is "instagrambusinesshelp.com" impersonating Facebook services? Is the argument here that using "Instagram" in a domain name inherently not allowed?

Edit: Would "instagramsucks.com" or "facebooksucks.com" also be infringing?
As if medicine hasn't always been political and can somehow avoid that in private hands.
It's 45 domain names.

Facebook sent them a list.

No-one said anything about manually checking every name until you did.
Covid-19 Outbreak – Employees Working from Home? It’s Time to Prepare
I have been using “Cookies Autodelete” for years. Except for a short list of 20 sites, nothing can store data on my Firefox.

These tracking sites would not be able to show me ads anyway because I have “uBlock origin”

And finally “I don’t care about cookies” to automatically dismiss these stupid GDPR “we’re going to use cookies” prompts.

Without these the Internet feels broken.
Facebook listed 3 of the 45, including one that I'd argue does not at all violate TM or phish. In a post like this, they'd likely pick the most egregious examples, so your statement about how obvious this is is entirely baseless. Furthermore, I'm absolutely okay with Namecheap not honoring a demand for information without a subpoena. Those whoisguards protect me from spammers, scammers, and anyone who would want my information from a whois.
One is illegal, the other is not. Apples and oranges.

Edit: what's with the downvotes? I'm not defending the practice, just stating facts.
From your point of view, it doesn't of course. You know that you don't have an encrypted partition.

But from the authorities' point of view, they will beat you until they're convinced you don't have anything of interest you can give up. That could last quite a while...
Everyone worries about google. Google will become part of the public infrastructure after some external challenge forces it to. At what point does facebook turn hostile and start exposing personal secrets to the public unless you pay or at least come back and visit to change settings? You can feel it coming...
On iTerm, that clears everything visible on the screen, but not the scroll history.

some good tips here but ultimately the tool encourages the undesirable behavior and guidelines likely won't overcome that (even if humans actually read them).

Yes I have same experience. Been using Last.fm for 14 years and that history can sometimes reveal things I didn't have any other chance to recall. My long youtube music favorites playlist is also interesting, because I usually add only things I really loved, and keep listening to it for a while, so there is just these time fragments, when I was kind of addicted to some of the songs, but against last.fm it just cannot compete at all.
You can argue that the only way to perform a completely accurate UBI experiment would be to run it for at least 60-80 years for everyone. Social experiments are very hard to do and have many flaws, but it seems unreasonable to say that the information gained by doing such studies should be "thrown out the window".
There’s a difference between reading for pleasure and for extracting some information. Some people might read this article for pleasure and that’s fine, but for most they just want the bare facts. An executive summary, if you will, because we have a lot more information vying for our attention than at any previous moment in history.
Yes, the title should be fixed.

Autism. The "care" provided in Canada is horrid.

This is not needed. The services we benefit from our state run, not based on my job.

Do they sell that inhaler, or the older and cheaper version, for much less outside the country? Plane tickets are cheap these days; it might be worth it to take a foreign vacation and stock up on inhalers.
what value is there in whoisguard if anybody can strong arm you in giving the data away.
Agreed. I also think that there are certain endeavors (medicine, space travel, etc.) where we need global cost sharing. Why are drugs cheaper in Canada? A lot of the drugs that go around the world are paid for by the US middle class. This cost sharing also removes the need for patent protections as everyone is opted in and buys from the global source. Obviously there are more details to solve but I'd like to see this approach tried.
While I was working on Alacritty's `clear` handling, I stumbled on a number of interesting details (including a recently fixed bug in `clear` itself).

https://github.com/alacritty/alacritty/pull/2329#issuecommen...
I found the answer here: https://mochi.cards/faq.html
Is Namecheap obligated to respond as FB claims? Isn't this the proper way it should happen, through the courts? I don't want Namecheap giving my personal info out just because a business claims a domain infringes their trademarks.
These two sections call out the root of the problem. Both point to a lack of a holistic approach to managing an organization's software licenses.

"According to research firm IDC, 60% of U.S. technology spending occurs outside companies’ IT department."

...and...

"Many subscriptions, Christopher said, cost $8,000 or so a month—or about $100,000 a year. And it’s not uncommon, he added, for subscriptions costing $10,000 to $50,000 annually “to never be seen by the IT department.”"
they sent "notices" so unless you know something more....
One cannot just ask for them divulge the names, that's the point of privacy. File a suit or whatever. It's cost of doing business
As a Namecheap customer, I am glad that they aren't giving up their customers privacy. Facebook claims they have an obligation to do so- but they don't provide any citation for such an obligation.

ICANN has an established process for handling these types of disputes, and Facebook should avail themsleves of that process. https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/help/dndr/udrp-en

(It isn't clear if Facebook is seeking a financial judgement or just a court order to delete or transfer the domains to Facebook?)
Isn't the obligation only to provide registrant info to governments or when the info has been subpoenad? Or should namecheap hand over info to any private entity that thinks their trademark is being infringed upon or that the domain is malicious?

Inb4 FB wants the info of the person begins "facebookisevil.com".
The problem is not the self-hosting aspect - it's not taking into consideration the lifecycle.

It's worth self-hosting if you have a good reason for it, and the software is old and boring (aka "battle tested") and packaged by someone else so the lifecycle is someone else's problem.

If it can be installed/maintained/upgraded by running `apt` or `yum`, and isn't a pile of custom hacks then go for it. Server software like Apache/Postgres/MySQL or even fairly nontrivial apps like Jenkins fall into this category. You can literally run these for years, staying updated, with an insignificant amount of maintenance.

Atlassian products with the "download this tarball and run a script" update method aren't as nice as the `apt-get upgrade` you get with the items mentioned above.
Sure, but if a VP goes all out on a push to rebrand and is rebuffed they'll probably leave. Basically, the pitch is "you hired me to improve the brand and that means improving our logo".

So CEOs and the board might not push back as hard as you'd imagine, especially if they don't come from a product/design/brand background.
They're not dictators or petty royalty -- they didn't get into that role without having people elect them. They don't care because their electorate doesn't care; old white people in the US vote in large numbers.
Why do I care about the other examples if the egregious examples include obvious phishing sites?
so is wiretapping, but in our household we have a running joke that if we're too lazy to google something, or say "ok google", we can just say "ok facebook bed frame bed frame bed frame" in the direction of our phones, and fb/instagram will start showing us ads for bed frames in a few hours. It works a surprisingly large amount of the time.
Trickle up economics?
They have two tiers IIRC, $4 and $9/mo.
Context matters. The notable part today isn't hacker protection. I'm sorry I implied that.

It's user error / protection. And at the time, getting that on anything that required data move around? Horrors!

We've got that today, though it took an amazing amount of thrashing about to get where I was then. And it's more secure in the adversarial sense too. Still, a lot of data has to move around, and it's still a PITA when it does.

The better tools today are rapidly converging on that same basic model: App serve to users through display only protocols.
> Almost no one wants to live permanently in Antarctica.

I mean, that's at least in part because you can't on a legal level. There's no private property rights and any of the Antarctic Treaty participants has the right to enter and inspect any installation on the continent. It's a set of research stations, not a colony.

Siberia has other problems similar to Mars. Water is frozen, so you have to melt it (as on Mars). Growing seasons are short (similar to the sunlight issue, which we've solved on Earth with grow lights...).

Focusing on the "Mars has more things to solve" thing continues to ignore the point.

Instagram has a business portal. When your site could easily be mistaken as an official company channel, that should not be allowed.

I know. These are services that the state was legally supposed to provide but could not. Canada failed my children. It was disgusting.
