The key difference between companies and government is the latter still is a monopoly, even if you get a vote to choose which monopoly takes control. Companies can innovate and provide alternatives for me without them having to become the market leader first. People have proposed ideas for competing governments operating in the same region in this way. Basically you could opt out of the Google services and use the Apple services instead. Or maybe go with the scrappy GNU open-source services.
Various DRM-like schemes can be used to make a chip useless without the software that goes with it.

If TSMC was concerned about the US taking over their factory, they could design lots of elements of the process to require a connection to HQ in Taiwan, and to stop working when that connection is broken.

When every piece of equipment has no working firmware, the factory is pretty much useless, and would probably take years to get running again.
They mention Northern Italy right off the bat
Related to "what raspberry pi projects can I start?"

For people that are interested in raspberry pi projects. I compiled a list, mostly for myself, but if it is semi-useful for anyone else, I'd consider that a win. I scoured HN and searched on YouTube, Google and thought of my own ideas to find the rpi projects that fascinated me.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1xT6-vN4sFnRLMOdj9wC4_ESW...

I'll put this project on there as well under the category "smart home". While the concerns are justified, such as insurance issues and fire hazards, I find it a cool use of what one can do with cheap hardware.
The inner panic monster for more productivity
What you are (correctly) describing is the status quo. But that is precisely what motivated me to try something different, even if it does end up utopian.
A valid use case would be local development or MITM'ing yourself
An undo button will be added soon, you're not the first to ask.
My understanding of the GP is that the current situation with TSMC only in Taiwan is a disaster. So I think they are actually in agreement with you and I that this is (or could be) a good thing.
I don't even understand the question. We were talking about the value of moving SSH to a different port to cut down on logged probes. That at least has the value of giving you a weak signal about IP sources that are somewhat determined to break in. Port knocking doesn't even do that.

Oh, for a minute there, I thought you meant Thatcher. lol.
The Roslyn C# compiler also doesn't throw anything away - you can recreate the source from the AST, completely with white-space and comments. This is necessary to support safe refactorings, so I don't think this is a novel idea. IntelliJ must have supported something like this for ages.

Bosque sounds like something beyond Roslyn, but it is not clear to me what.
SoundCloud used to have something similar in the JS console, which I’ve seen in a few other places as well. Quite clever as a way of filtering but as pointed out they usually point to the regular front door so no magic queue skip which seems like a lost opportunity...
I mostly agree with you (I mentioned elsewhere that "invasion of Taiwan" was just supposed to serve as shorthand), but I think you night be underestimating the US Navy and possibly overestimating the PLA.
The stylized design makes my brain recognize is as just another random inspirational poster or an add, not something I should pay attention to. We have standard and widespread symbols already for stop/go which should be applied here in some form.

How foreign the problem space is for me, and how focused much of the audience on HN seems to be on web/database software.

I'm involved with the two biggest types of software in general computing: control systems and large complex commercial transactional systems.

The former don't feature a UI or a database. While the latter have the primary issue of modeling a complex problem domain.

That complex model is by necessity produced without regard to any particular human or system interface, or data persistence. Are such concepts so alien to audiences here?
Okay well we do know how much gold is in Earth's crust:

I suppose you can use such certificate to MITM yourself to inspect the traffic to/from nodes you control, but pretty much every tool out there has features to generate certificates on the fly.
You're welcome to build your own video platform.

Of course, if Google doesn't approve your content, nobody can find it, and if Cloudflare doesn't approve of your content, it isn't actually online.

And, with everybody locked up, you can't go advertise it in the physical world.

So, basically, unless Google and Cloudflare like your content -- or the major media bullies them into liking your content -- your content does not exist.
There are ten other states that follow California’s regulations, so you’ll lose a lot more than just California.
It's also worth pointing out that Taiwan is so densely populated and small that it would be hard to invade Taiwan without simultaneously destroying everything of value. It's a fools' errand.
This is almost the right era to say "imagine a Beowulf Cluster of those!"
That's good to know, and gives me hope, but this trend is generally a function of popularity, not time. Once a decent fraction of the population is on a platform, inevitably it is dragged towards the lowest common denominator.

Just recently someone on YC asked about "mind bending books" and the #1 response was Permutation City by Greg Egan.

I've read this book, and it was an amazing, nearly life altering experience for me. But lets just say... his style of science fiction is not for everyone, and it's certainly not mainstream. Even in my relatively techy circle of friends, nobody has read any books by Greg Egan. Not one. This indicates to me that the current YC crowd is an extremely narrowly filtered subset of the general population.

Recently I've been reading his Orthogonal series about a Universe that has Riemannian spacetime geometry instead of our Lortentzian spacetime. See: https://www.gregegan.net/ORTHOGONAL/ORTHOGONAL.html

Can you imagine going to Facebook, Reddit, or even Slashdot and having such books be even in the top 100? The common people upvote Tolkein, Pratchett, and J K Rowling.

Notably, even in the early days, Slashdot had... crazies. Conspiracy nuts, creationists, UFO true believers, and the like. I've noticed that YC is one of the few forums where the one or two Creationists present are mercilessly voted down and their arguments are rejected out of hand. Such trolls get no traction here. But recently... there has been an increase in such talk. It's still small, but I've noticed the trend.
I realize this is not an overly serious project, but still..

To use this, you have to install node, and use that to run generate.js[1]... and what does generate.js do?

1. It generates an openssl.conf-file, which could have been checked into the repo as static content.

2. It runs a bash-script[2] which calls the openssl CLI-tool, with this config-file as a parameter.

I get it that we are programmers, but how many layers of indirection are we going to add to what could have been a simple README, and pre-supplied config-file?

Less is more. Not everything needs to be NodeJS.

Upstream bandwidth is similar. If someone has bad upstream you receive bad video from them but for them it's just fine.
Feedback Friday: Hims and Hers
I completely understand. I'm in the process of rebuilding the UI - so I did not want to post "stale" screenshots. I really hope to have the new version of the app ready in less than a week, and then take a few screenshots and post them ;)

Having said that, in the near future (3-4 months), I will redesign the site. Already hired a team. It's really interesting how things your idea of what should be on the website changes as things shape up. So, it will be a redesign from the ground up - but for that, I need to have a few more features ready - and that will take tiiiiime :)

EDIT: I should have mentioned: this is Windows10 only for now. I may port it to other platforms assuming all goes well.
Yeap exactly.
It depends on what kind of market you're in. California is extremely high income relative to France (or pretty much any country) and so you're likely to see more revenue from there.

That's typically a limitation imposed by CAs (e.g. Let's Encrypt), not a limitation in the spec. RFC 6125 even contains an example of a multilevel wildcard domain (but says support in existing implementations is unclear):

Specifications for existing application technologies are not clear
or consistent about the allowable location of the wildcard
character, such as whether it can be:

...

* included as all or part of more than one label (e.g.,
*.*.example.com)

https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6125#section-7.2

Edit: Actually, according to https://community.letsencrypt.org/t/allow-multiple-level-wil..., browsers are behind the "only one level of wildcard" rule, too:

> We would also have to contend with the CA Browser Forum’s Baseline requirements. Presently they define a “wildcard domain” as:

> “A Domain Name consisting of a single asterisk character followed by a single full stop character (“*.”) followed by a Fully-Qualified Domain Name.”,

> Allowing multiple wildcard labels would likely run afoul of the baseline requirements.
Correlation studies which focus on one thing also conveniently ignore other variables, such as population density. People comparing Sweden to Britain are comparing apples and oranges. Also, in the case of Italy, there is the issue of increased air pollution in the north, which may play a contributing role.

But this is also why any advice from government and WHO "experts" must be taken with a pinch of salt. They're as clueless as anybody else and all of their policies not evidence based, but are based on panic and power grabs.

I suspect there is some correlation the case of Vitamin D though. It has long been known of D's role in immune function and people not getting enough sunlight are often inflicted with various ailments. Fresh air has also been suggested for common colds.

There is also scant evidence that COVID is a serious transmission risk between people in open spaces. Infection appears to be more prevalent when large numbers of people are condensed in closed spaces, such as public transport, clubs etc.

The other elephant in the living room is obesity, which the media don't want to talk about for fear of upsetting or "fat shaming" unhealthy people.

If it does turn out to be the case, then all government advice to "stay at home" so far will have been iatrogenic and the government witchdoctors and henchmen are really contributing to iatrocide in those who are vulnerable when they're forcing lockdown rules through violence or fines.

The position of lockdowns should be completely reversed and official government advice should be to get out, get sunlight, fresh air and exercise in open spaces. This doesn't need to exclude social distancing rules, although it will probably be difficult to achieve in densely packed cities. Fortunately we have plenty of open space in national parks. Trips out are good for mental well-being and can be educational for kids. More picnics now!

The issue with businesses which operate in closed spaces, the restaurants etc, I'm not entirely decided on, but since I believe in personal liberty, it should be ones own decision whether or not they're going to enter these closed spaces and take the risk. Leave it up to the owners and the market to decide their fate. Lockdown is far more damaging than COVID.
Can you explain how that works? As I understand it, UVB is responsible for both vitamin D synthesis and skin damage. So how is it then possible that 1 minute of sun-lamp radiation is equivalent to 15 minutes of natural/sun radiation in terms of vitamin D, but not in terms of skin damage?

Can someone explain something to me? What's this Vitamin D craze about that a lot of people in the Hackernews crowd seem to follow?

Multiple times in the past days weak studies indicating some beneficial effect of Vitamin D have been posted here. None of them looked like anything even remotely conclusive. This one just cries "confounder!".

But in the comments below a large number of people seem convinced that this is definitive evidence and that they always knew their Vitamin D pills are some kind of magic.

May be I don't understand something, but this repository does have static openssl.conf and even generated key/certificate, so you absolutely don't have to install node. You need to install node, if you want to regenerate it with different parameters or something like that.
Well, I guess this goes back to the question of whether architecture can solve social problems.

Sometimes it works. But I am more a fan of humaneness solving social problems than technology. [1]

My other issue with the technology-solves-all mentality is that it leads to greater good type arguments. Countries with a passionate social scene seem to be that way because of what I guess we call culture. Great architecture and art, now that is something else...

[1] To be clear, COVID-19 is not a social problem. It does have social side-effects.

Still some black ones in stock!

One of the creators here: we were very much caught by surprise by the sudden interest in this project. (A year after launch) We are currently counting stock and updating our shop for a better experience (like not defaulting to an out of stock color for a product)
Completely aware of the enterprise implication, but it's somewhat of a disappoint that with all that peripheral support, they could have at least dropped a courtesy single link DVI-I interface instead. It just smells like a decision driven to explicitly avoid paying out licensing royalties.

I've written bash scripts (using sendmidi [1]) to arpeggiate chords when I was feeling particularly lazy. It's pretty easy in midi. Figure out the root note, figure out the pattern, and just turn on/off root+pattern[i] :-).

[1] sendmidi is a great little command line tool to send midi commands to devices, or to record midi commands from devices. Its input format is plain text and you can include timing information so it's pretty easy to script music in this way: https://github.com/gbevin/SendMIDI
It's frustating bringing a new idea to the Brits and have it be claimed that nothing new in the world truly exists, it has always been done before in one form or the other. The brits invented it first anyway.

And then encounter your line of thinking where an event less damaging than the battle of the somme, or the great fire of 1666 is somehow exempt from the normality of history.

I dont think HN is the appropriate place to discuss polticial demands on what is 'normal'.

No way the future will only be robot vs robot in some sterile symbolic chess game. The endgame is robots getting past robots to kill people.
It's fascinating but also quite scary that you would probably believe me if I told you I was a bot. It seems that those bots are so good now that if you read some human output with the idea that it might be a bot (because e.g. someone asked if it's "real") that you can't actually tell. That provides a whole new way for echo chambers to extinguish dissenting views.
Well if you're going to be keeping the curtains closed during the way, you might as well not bother installing windows. They're expensive and don't insulate very well. But yes, I see your point, and I feel a little silly for ignoring that obvious solution :O

Maybe it is not supposed to. Port knocking is not a substitute for anything. Yet most criticisms of it, like yours, seem to assume it is going to be used as a replacement for something else.
This isn’t a direct answer to your question but most of my information searching starts right here on HN.

I find infotainment (modern news orgs) to be incredibly toxic and I’m much, much happier to avoid them.

There’s still a lot of aggravating bias here on HN but ignoring the site for a few days typically does the trick.

agree. AMD 4000 mobile chip already win a lot of praises even tho TSMC 7nm supposed to be inferior compare to Intel 10nm. we are talking about 7nm in production right now compare to Intel still struggling with 10nm and squeezing 14nm forever. its a win for TSMC. by the time Intel 10nm is on mass production, TSMC 5nm or even 3nm will be out.
I really don't like being in the position of defending web apps - that is really not my preferred way to do most things I would write. However, taking a devil's advocate position:

> You mean file:// urls? If you have access to do that...

Modern browsers provide JavaScript with way more power than just file urls: https://www.w3.org/TR/FileAPI/

There are also drag and drop APIs...

> why not just install a real executable as well.

That depends on who your audience is. It's certainly easier to tell some users "go hit this web page and click ok when it asks to open your file". And there are some web apps which I find preferable to downloaded apps. For instance, I really like draw.io, and it works seamlessly on Windows, MacOS, and Linux.

> but if there's a way to persist multiple gb I would be very surprised

I saw a job ad in the output on the JavaScript console. Very good targeting - someone poking around the JS for the site is likely to be a good fit for the frontend dev role for that site.

This is correct. Taiwan has a huge pool of silicon engineers and their salaries have roughly stayed stable over the years. Interestingly, because of this, a lot of engineers have been moving to China to seek greener pastures (make more money) [1].
