The medium of film in general is just much more prone to using violence as a plot device - it’s a cheap & easy way to create conflict. Whereas books can describe inner emotional state more readily and thus cheap conflict can be emotional.

Skilled directors and writers in movies can of course create conflict in all sorts of ways but all the hacks out there are just going to reach for the gun.

Messaging apps like Signal or WhatsApp are not providing content in the way that you describe. They are just carrying messages from one user to another, and would be rendered useless by this bill.

This gambit of replying with a flipped-around copy of the parent comment might feel clever but just indicates that you’re more interested in cheap point-scoring than earnestly confronting the entirety of the topic. Hacker News is not the place for crappy discourse like that.

There is ample evidence that it can’t be done yet, given that governments and private companies addressing the biggest populations/markets in the world have had many years and every incentive to do it but so far have been unable to. Despite huge investments in renewables, nuclear and gas, they still need lots of coal for the foreseeable future.

Here's a 2015 article from MIT Technology Review that explores the issue in depth: http://archive.is/SXXHl
> Meanwhile grown-ups still have "monoliths" connected to something like Oracle, DB2 or MS SQL server, because that's obviously the most reliable setup.

More often than not they just crystalized their 90s knowledge and just pretended there aren't better tools for the job because it would take some work to adopt them and no one notices it in their work anyway.

The "Oracle" keyword is a telltale sign.
It's a parody of how tiresome emailing is in real world applications.

In an ideal world, you ask someone to do something, they ask you for details, you give them details, it's done.

In a less ideal world, you have busy people, lazy people, and people who have been given unreasonable schedules.

They drop emails, overlook, glance it over. They dread the back and forth long email threads, so they sit and think and procrastinate for an hour before sending a short email like the above.

And what let's say there's three teams involved. One person drops the ball or ignores an email. What next?

That's why you have to cc them. I once had an issue with this guy who I just kept giving him instructions, having meetings, and he still did the wrong things. I brought it up to the boss and he yelled at me and told me I don't know how to work in a team -- I never cc'ed him in these emails.

And I quickly learned that whenever an email cc-ed the boss, things moved, and when it didn't, they'll say okay, but the work would disappear.

Then the obvious solution is to cc every time right? But because of this, every time you cc someone, it implies that you don't trust them to get it done.

Something like Slack just automates this process. You post something in a team channel, it gives a slight-but-not-passive-aggressive pressure. You can send a document and it doesn't get lost (and you can't blame someone for not sending you the documents).
We stored hundreds of petabytes on cheap SATA drives with random fragment placement using reed solomon 6+3 coding (half the space of 3 replicas but same durability). Never lost a byte.

Speed of recovery is crucial, because that’s your window of vulnerability to multiple failures. For example. try raid 5 on giant drives. The chances of losing a second drive during recovery is very likely.
They gave me a pretty good upgrade deal just a month ago: a new v2 router with a lightbulb for under $60 Canadian ($45 US, now). This was offered to me somewhere in the iOS app when I was checking for updates. It took a while to ship (came from Europe for some reason), but I consider it a good deal, and have no regrets about buying the v1 router when I got it. The old bulbs work with the new router, though not as smoothly as the new bulb.
When all the slack has been rotated out, it would require a tremendous amount of force to rotate that last gear in reverse. After all, the system wants to amplify the gear speed from that end.
For creativity, get used to running a fan nearby. If you're like me, your inbuilt pattern-matcher will autocomplete and drag up 'ghost impressions' while you're otherwise occupied. A fan is better than an electronic noise source because its air, and thus its sound, interacts with the surrounding world; instead of being a point-source, it's a better background.

For problem solving, dwell on the problem in its domain just before bedtime, and make sure it's the last thing on your mind as you settle down into sleep. Let the subconscious have sole access to your understanding of the problem overnight.

Everybody's built different, but these work for me.
That's not true, people used to wake up for several hours a night. There were also those up through the night tending fire and looking for predators. And darkness does not rule out sleeping during the day.

I think the strongest possible interpretation of the comment is more along the lines of... does the cost/benefit of this decision really line up?

Cancelling a $350 million event means people are not getting paid, maybe those people will not be able to afford rent next month, or groceries next week. Eventually, the cost is borne by those who are least able to shoulder the burden.

It's flu season, but we still hold events because the cost/benefit of forbidding any large gathering for several months out of the year is also "preposterous".

COVID is worse than the flu, perhaps even by 1 order of magnitude, but COVID is also many, many orders of magnitude less prevalent than the flu. We are talking about 310 cases in the US, versus 32 million cases of the flu. So five order of magnitude less prevalent. Secondary flu infection of elderly patients related to SXSW attendees who catch the flu at SXSW result in some number of deaths every year.

In the end the decision isn't being made totally rationally, it's largely being made emotionally and politically. But there is a significant cost in the aggregate which rationally could totally outweigh the benefit.
I remember when Youtube was created, and then bought by Google I thought how can these people make so much money on what is basically a file server. But this right here is it- they did not solve any kind of technical problem, they solved a legal one. The automated copyright system is the main value add of Youtube, do not doubt it. It allows Youtube to make more ad revenue than it loses from lawsuits or from having to hire an army of people to deal with copyright claims.
Like he said, an engineering problem.
Quick question: how many years of experience do you have and how many different projects longer than 6 months have you been on?

The reason I ask is that the effectiveness of pair programming seems to depend on a lot of factors. Including the above mentioned factors.
I cringe every time a project uses the name "Skynet". First, it's overused. Second, it's literally the name of the AI project that went rogue and tried to kill all the humans in the Terminator movie universe. Not exactly the best association. Just find another name.

(E2E) encryption protects our families from predators and criminals who mean them harm.

While weakening protections surely makes it easier to catch criminals, it equally opens up vulnerable families to predation.
If you think that Slack requires constant monitoring then I think you are using it wrong. I believe there is zero difference in the reply expectations of Slack and email. As per my initial comment, you are someone who doesn't check email and that's ok, in my engineering manager role I receive over 200 emails a day. Most of these could be 3 - 10 word slack messages but they arrive in my inbox with the same urgency as every other message requiring the same level of triage as a very important contract.
How is WhatsApp different from a phone system aside from the fact that it's text-based? And how is WhatsApp a publisher?

Your analogy makes no sense.
Nah, that's not the problem/solution, not in the ISP context. It's trivial for most ISPs (unless they have ton of ancient hardware and neglected to upgrade, or if they have very poor and limited peering options) to obtain an IPv6 block and set it up on their backbone network.

All the complexity is about providing this to the end users. Depending on your tech stack, you may have no issues, or you may need to replace just about everything (NASes, accounting/billing system, etc - whatever pieces were built with IPv4-only in mind)

Source: I worked for an ISP a while ago. We got our servers IPv6 connectivity, in, like, a day. We haven't solved IPv6 end-user connectivity (but it really wasn't a priority then), although was we had a few experimental connections - with lots of duct tape and random end-user issues whenever something was misconfigured (e.g. at the time not every site's AAAA record was actually responding, despite the existence).
Your singling out of the country implies as much.

If it's not exclusive to America, you should have said "It's standard bullshit"
Yeah but how are they going to implement that while preserving e2e encryption? They would basically have to either handle all of it on the client, or send along a hash of whatever file was being shared encrypted with a key Apple controls. This seems ripe for abuse as it's going to allow for "phoning home" any match of an arbitrary file, and it's not going to be immediately clear if the content being searched for is legitimately CSAM or if it's being abused to search for something else.
I've learned that you need to set a schedule and get out of the house to get things done.

So, here's the actions to take:

1) Decide what you want to learn.

2) Make a plan on how you will achieve it.

2a)Find a learning source

2b) Define a project that you will create. It does not have to be unique.

Unless you have something in mind just copy something or someone.

2c) Set a deadline. It should be relatively short. 1 to 1.5 months. Don't try to learn everything.

But make it a challenge.

3) Find a place where you will study. Not at home and it should have limited internet access.

4) Set a schedule. Maybe, every day from 6 to 7

5) Set 1 day for study and the next day for action and review and work time on your project.

6) Follow thru

The big key is that you need to get out of the house and you need to keep a schedule. It's very hard to stay disciplined at home.

Are you unaware of the fact that this is exact argument made by those who argue for the 2nd amendment? While you could argue that they are fear-mongers, with the tree of liberty talk, you can't then go on to talk about a threat to democracy by way of the government's constant violation of citizen's other rights (the 4th in this case). Emotional appeals are much easier for the confiscation proponents, because nobody expects internal consistency from someone waving a bloody shirt.

Apple tends to announce dates 2–3 months out from WWDC. Last year's were announced on March 14th; 2018's were announced March 13th; 2016's weren't announced until April 18th. (2017's dates were announced February 16th, but that was the first year in San Jose.)

So they haven't cancelled it yet because they haven't announced it yet. They have the luxury of waiting up to another month to see how it seems things are going -- and if things go the way it seems everyone is predicting, that's absolutely what they're going to do.

Personally, "WWDC moves online for 2020" seems way more likely to me than "Apple will go ahead and announce WWDC and then wait until two weeks out to see if they have to say 'sorry, everybody, see if you can get refunds for your hotel rooms and flights.'"

People in other countries see the same amount of violence in TV or videos games yet they have much less violence rates. I remember me thinking "that kind of thing only happens in the US" when watching violence (and lawsuits) in TV. I wonder if it's the proliferation of American entertainment that forms part of these behaviors.
Many businesses have TB of data they upload and keep for several years, looking at it once or twice over that time if ever. For these you could provision monthly bandwidth as low as 1/30th of the total storage.
there are other exogenous factors like changes in temperature diminishing the spread of respiratory diseases over the summer, and avoidance of sick individuals happens quite naturally without having to stir up panic about exponential graphs on twitter.

According to the WHO this virus, unlike influenza, does not seem to spread rapidly among asymptomatic people so the net effects of causing drama on twitter are probably going to create unnecessary anxiety in the population that will lead to mask hoarding or other unecessary behaviour.

As a recovering alcoholic, I've always looked at the story of Phil Katz as a cautionary tale. He made enough money from people registering PKZip for discs and manuals that he was able to succumb to his tendency to socially isolate and drink to excess. He drank himself to death.
benefit yourself at the expense of others.

That’s way too general. If I’m a start up raising money from a VC and I counter with an offer of a lower percentage of equity for an investment, I’m doing something that benefits me at the expense of others.

I would say you’d need to layer on top being deceitful or underhanded in your actions.

The goal is that everyone enters into an arrangement with full knowledge of the terms.
This seems more a problem with the culture. Where I've worked, messaging and emails are used for non-urgent, handle this when you're available type notices. If something was urgent, we walk up to their desk and tell them. Slack actually cuts down on desk-related interruptions; we'd literally just Slack each other even though we're sitting across.

Water cooler conversations are a kind of stress dissipation response for some people. It's great for some, bad for others. Slack means that it stays in a channel instead of at the water cooler when all you want is a drink, not a chat.

> The extra dozen deaths from this new virus really don't change my existing habits

This is either deliberately misleading, or you are not properly able to reason about and understand exponential growth. No one cares about 12 deaths. It's the exponential growth in something that has the potential to be the flu, but roughly 10x worse.
Guns are tools made to kill though. That's literally what they are: killing tools. Do they have any other purpose?

> this is your criterium, sure. That's nice and simple and for much the same way that physics cows are perfectly spherical

Ironically your example is a good one, because tools like Kubernetes are what enables the proverbial cows of deploying services in heterogeneous clusters of COTS hardware to be interpreted as being spherical in the sense that they are only contained processes that execute somewhere.

And the irony is that you might seriously argue that being forced to waste time modeling cow in higher detail than a sphere is necessary or even required.
This same debate has begun this week in Australia, I find it difficult to believe it's unrelated.

I posted these this link yesterday to HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22491565

Defending these attacks on encryption require defending the same laws with ALL countries in the 5 eyes spying partnership. (Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, United States & Canada). Failure to do so will ensure these laws will come into effect in time due to either A) the use of the 5 eyes pact to leverage the laws of other countries within the pact. Or B) through constantly pointing to the 'standard' set in Australia (or any country which does progress these laws, I use Australia as it has already implemented legislation which enables meta data collection & require participation in weakening encryption).

The Australian legal/political system IS the backdoor here.
In practical terms virtually all exponential functions are logistic functions:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

As the curve reaches the full size of the population it slows down. However, logistic and exponential functions are the same until they get close to the population bound. It's not unreasonable to believe this projection will be accurate until COVID-19 infections get close to 1B people in early May, unless significant quarantine procedures are put in place.

If quarantine procedures are enacted, you usually get "waves" of infection, where the infection spreads exponentially for a while until quarantine or social distancing is enacted, then dies out, then is reintroduced again, and this continues until all susceptible individuals have developed immunity. The point of the quarantine is not to prevent people from getting the disease (they're going to anyway); it's to lower and stagger the peak so that it doesn't overwhelm care facilities.
Clearly the USA. What point are you trying to make?
They probably do prefer that, and also probably want free updates forever.

But as a maker, recurring (read: predictable, continuous) revenue makes a software business easier to sustain and gives incentive to grow.

>for 100 years with ~20 minutes of maintenance.

While I get your point, are you honestly saying a hoe has lasted 100 years and still completely usable to its original standards with absolutely no sharpening, oiling, cleaning or care of any kind other than changing a screw?

Stainless steel wasn't exactly common back then, so I'm assuming this hoe was probably iron with a wooden handle?

The iron would definitely need to be at least cleaned and dried after use to prevent corrosion and the handle, while probably at least treated at one point, would likely need some kind of maintenance, even if just cleaning, to prevent rot and decay?

After 100 years not even a single nick in the blade that needed to be honed out? Never hit a single rock with it? Tree roots never dulled it?

Sorry, I know I'm being kind of facetious, but manual tools definitely need care and maintenance if they're used regularly. Even simple ones.
I think it means "individual" most of the time.
> The buildout did not list a CPU.

It did, or does now anyway, the RYZEN 3 1200 for $95.

EDIT: Although the better option is the 3200G so that you can actually get a display output from the thing. Same price, so it doesn't really change anything, but it does cut the CPU core count down a bit if that matters at all.

That said the buildout still doesn't work because you can't actually plug the "sata splitter" cable they linked into the motherboard. Because the splitter was actually a 4-lane SAS SFF-8087 breakout cable, and there's no consumer motherboard with 8x of those connectors on it. Good luck finding even 1 or 2 of those connectors on a consumer board, and it sure as hell won't be at dirt cheap prices.

So you either need 4x the computers they calculated, or you need to budget for add-in SATA/SAS controller cards. Which, because they aren't used in consumer land, are not cheap. You could go used, but that's still going to increase the bottom line (and won't be a reliable source of parts)

They also aren't factoring in assembly time nor budgeting for that. Building these isn't going to go very quickly.
