It's hard to respect the rights of someone who is willing to sacrifice yours to ensure theirs.

Indeed. So how do you think game developers felt watching their hard work get ripped by pirates who would offer absurd rationalisations to justify breaking the law and taking something that other people spent a lot of time and money to make without paying for it?

I'd gladly pay for a good game. I am very much less likely to pay for a game I cannot try.

That is your prerogative. In days gone by, before online distribution was the norm and other strategies became viable, game developers used to release demos that featured, say, the first couple of levels of a game so you could try it out. This is hardly a new thing, and it's never something that many game developers were against.

If I can't mirror/host/modify/distribute/fork source; I'm not terribly interested.

Again, that's your prerogative. I actually have a lot of sympathy for this view; at my businesses, we adopt a very similar strategy in avoiding SaaS for anything critical to our business operations.

But we have to realise that we are in a relatively small minority here. As long as the online systems or DRM or whatever are reasonably transparent, most people simply don't care. As you say, the likes of us are not the intended audience of these products.
The article makes broad, sweeping generalizations, but it was enjoyable and engaging to read, so cheers to the author for that. He's right, too, generally speaking: lots of work can and will be done remotely from various locations across the globe. Of course, there will always be natural divides (that's what makes us human). Someone who can't speak the same language as the rest of the team just isn't going to get hired, no matter how well they can code.

Government regulations also play a huge role in how "globalized" a job can be. If you're working at a defense contractor, for example, you sure as heck aren't going to be replaced by a foreign national. In many cases, the office culture at those companies won't change hardly at all, due to data governance restrictions.
My daughter was killed at the Pulse incident in Orlando. I want this bill to become law.
Very true for parasite employees. But to employees who actually work and have a basic understanding of self fulfillment, it means nothing more than environment change.
A couple of experiences:

Not federal but a long time ago my partner and I tried to sell an RFID solution to a jail in NY. Something that I learned from that is that they actually don't care about saving money. If they save $100K this year, next year they will get $100K less from their sponsoring organization.

Another experience was working for a tiny company trying to sell to 3 letter federal agencies. In that instance, the process was so drawn out that the company went out of business before they could get any money from them. This also happened to another friend of mine. Nothing happens fast with the government.
I think the biggest population at risk if useless office jobs that have just had staying power for legacy reasons. Once those go remote and off shore they're never coming back to high cost of living areas.
Lower wages for SV but higher wages everywhere else.

The average developer wage for SV is $100,000 higher than the average where I live.
Ah hello 2015, my old friend.

DNSSEC is a Government-Controlled PKI
-> Not if the root of trust is secured by a proof-of-work blockchain

DNSSEC is Cryptographically Weak
-> Not if zone operators upgrade to ECDSA as defined for DNSSEC in https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6605

DNSSEC is Unsafe
-> NSEC3 is mentioned by the article itself

DNSSEC is Expensive To Deploy
-> We can make tools for this, so much has gotten easier already

DNSSEC is Incomplete
-> Agreed, we need browser adoption
Agreed. Just keep investing in yourself, your network, and growing and you'll be fine. That's my hypothesis anyway. I am not the best at what I do but I am getting better everyday and I keep in touch with people doing really cool things at the biggest places in case I want to join them in doing something neat. My network came through for me when I was suddenly let go due to this pandemic and so I am giving back by helping out those coming up behind me as best I can but also investing in myself by upskilling.
It's just like the keyboard in a sense. Before the keyboard problems were a wildly-acknowledged issue I had to listen to people online argue that the field failure rate was perfectly fine, when they didn't know either the actual failure rate nor know anything about reliability engineering.

Maybe the failure rate is fine, maybe it's not. All we know right now is that they added an additional single point of failure. The _very best case scneario_ for Apple is that they understood they were adding a single point of failure, ran the math to find what the increased expected failure rate would be (basic statistics say they definitionally raised it), and decided they didn't give enough fucks to do anything differently.

I'm perfectly fine with with a person who frequently deals with the people experiencing that failure doing some old fashioned New York shittalking towards that design decision.
> The service that Facebook offers is becoming so important that asking people not to use it is like asking people not to breathe

Utterly absurd hyperbole. There are a billions of people in the world who do not use Facebook, comparing the use of Facebook to drawing breath is about as ridiculous as it gets.
It's not a great comparison. Coal mining isn't knowledge work.
I use jekyll, with a script to render each page/post and inline only the css rules that apply to the dom.

The economic incentives to out-source development to India have been there for decades. In the 2000s, "everyone" (i.e., the media) was sure that soon there would be no high-paying programming jobs left in the Western world. Well, how did that pan out?
Stereotyping is not cool.
KASAN is a kernel address sanitizer. Is your claim that the other OSes, as tested, do not do address sanitization?
Everyone duck! At the median age of 28, millennials just woke up to off-shoring :-)
Definitely agree with this.

I have a roommate that serial dates and she's gradually gone from "im getting over my breakup" after dating a man for 3 years to "ug can we just get rid of men" and telling my girlfriend to dump me when I'm standing in the room. She's gotten very bitter, and self-destructive to her original intention (finding a soulmate) breaking things off with new guys when they don't pick her up random things or run odd errands.

While this is just one example of the few I've seen, and of course this is just my experience, but I would hypothesize that serial dating combined with a culture of "empowerment" + unlimited options is detrimental.
> it’s easy to forget that many oppressed and subjugated people around the world still look to the U.S. with hope

It's easy to forget because it's just a fairy tale Americans tell themselves. Oppressed and subjugated people flee to the nearest country that isn't the one oppressing them. Often that country is in fact China (from North Korea).

This article doesn't even pretend to be talking about saving oppressed and subjugated people though; it almost brags that the idea is for the US to cynically "benefit from the human capital that created [Hong Kong's] wealth".

The people this article is talking about - the "financial and creative genius" - could walk into any country they wanted to, if they wanted to leave their home. They don't need the US.
The class will have to provide you with an option to get your answer back after a computation, so that's what you test. I don't see a reason to test how a class computes a result as long as the result is correct.
> What globalization did to manufacturing jobs, remote work will do to many service jobs.

This is bait. It's taken as a given rather than a hypothesis to be proven, which invalidates most of this post for me.

Issues with the analogy:

- Offshoring existed before remote work was popularized. For the many of "your jobs" up to be "taken" that shift has already occurred.

- Outsourcing is not a magic bullet. Timezone gaps, communication style, expert knowledge, and legal compliance are all issues that previous outsourcers to call centers have already discovered.

- Significant gaps remain between "tier-1" and "tier-2" support. Effective deployment of offshoring requires using the two to complement one another, not trying to use the latter to replace the former.

No matter what it is that your company is selling, tricky situations will come up that needed to be escalated to an experienced customer success team, whether that's the founder or a dedicated team. Being able to recruit globally doesn't magically make building that team any easier.
Minimal real diplomatic consequences, other than China issuing some loud statements that they're furious at the US meddling in their internal affairs. It might amount to 100k-300k people as a max range.

It's an excellent opportunity for China to demonstrate the superiority of their system, as they so frequently claim.

We'll play a little game. Open immigration into China for US citizens. Open immigration into the US for Chinese citizens. Let's see who gets the most immigration (it'd be lopsided 1,000 to 1 with millions of immigrants flowing into the US; we did it with Cuba from ~1960-1980, there's no reason we can't do it for people wanting to flee China; if the next Democrat President is smart, they'll implement a variation of this to create a more aggressive and persistent brain drain on China).
Given the additional context “we need out k8s deployment to work for customers who use selinux on their nodes”, the motivation to do this makes more sense. The majority of k8s users likely don’t share their clusters with untrusted/low trust users so it seems unlikely to help them much.

Not to dunk on the work you’ve done: it’s still awesome. Just want to point out the disconnect from users wondering how this would help them.
Do you have any proof for that? Everything I know says that more qualified people congregate, in general in the places with the highest cost of living...
Nissan to close Indonesia, Spain auto plants after losses
There was a really good article on 'locking down' voice assistants I read recently in Make: (Spring 20) where the author proposes 3d printing 'hats' that sit over your Alexa / Google Assistant and has electronics inside that listen to you and pass your message on to the voice assistant. Their approach was to stop the device from listening to you all the time.

IMO Alexa and Google are useless, half the time they don't hear you, half the time they hear you when you're not even talking to them and respond with something completely random. Google now refuses to talk to me because we messed up the personalisation and can't work out how to go back to just being anonymous.

Apple's Homepod however can't access the internet for answering questions but has a far far superior ability to hear you and respond.

We basically use our voice assistants to turn music on and off. Honestly that's all my friends ever seem to use these evil privacy invading devices for!

I trust Apple a bit more with my data than I do Google or Amazon.
So you're saying if the code was higher quality it would have fewer bugs? I mean, well, yeah.

The problem with solutions like RAII is that it doubles down on programmer infallibility, from "good programmers don't write bugs" to "good programmers correctly use RAII."

You haven't really solved the actual problem unless you have tooling available that won't let non-RAII be checked in at all. Does that exist?
I was asking ALittleLight.

The horse is out of the barn there. I remember working with HP, Microsoft and IBM people in 1999 whose management chains were in South Dakota, Phoenix, etc.
I wouldn't say well known, but it is reasonable to assume that some entities would have interest in swaying the HN community enough to put some effort into it. Yesterday for example the thread "Show HN: Twingate – A modern solution for remote access"[1] showed some signs of astroturfing as pointed out in the comment by crmrc114. Possibly as a form of advertising.

Response was very quick as I have usually seen though.

Isn't that a natural capability with PXE implemented at the server keyed off the MAC address?
The power of the Presidency, especially within the party of the President, cannot be overstated - especially in the current political age. Similar to how when the Democratic Speaker tells her colleagues to fall in line...they tend to comply.
True, but...

Anyone can already take your job, as long as they are willing to relocate, or your company opens a new office near them.

It is more important than ever to differentiate yourself. To do that you need to find something to do that you love, and then find (or more often make) a niche in that that that you become one of the top ten people in within your context.

By context I mean you don't need to be the best in the world, you can be the best at X within the Y industry, or within defense consulting, or in the U.S. And you don't need to be the best (though see the quote about being the only), but at least in the top 10.

There are two quotes I am fond of that say similar things much better than I can:

"Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it." - Steve Jobs

"You do not merely want to be considered just the best of the best. You want to be considered the only one who does what you do." - Jerry Garcia
It's a generalisation to be sure.

But many programmers (from Silicon Valley in particular) or other middle class workers like finance, law, etc.. are in this weird bubble totally isolated from reality. The working class has been complaining about outsourcing for decades and I just find it hypocritical that this bubble is only just starting to complain because now it affects them with remote work.

It's elitist attitude and my number one complaint about our industry.
Kids Science Activities Without Long Boring Parental Preparations?
It is. The supreme court saw that banning nudity in theaters, thus banning specific portion of speech in specific places is not infringing first amendment.

You have your freedom to enjoy nude in your home but not in theaters due to city regulations. That doesn't mean that the city is censoring.
Have been following this budding framework for a bit now and finally got my first app up and running with a single command. I have to admit it was very simple to get going, now to dive into the docs and see what's under the hood!
In my totally unscientific assessment of remote job boards, US companies seem to be the only ones requesting US-only applicants, and I have no insight as to why this happens.

In my -South American- country the trend is to look outwards if you're hiring remotely; European countries seem to fit this description too.
It's pretty easy to wrap those constructs in RAII wrappers to replace or augment the normal reference counting that C code would be using to keep those buffers mapped, along with associating the lifetime of the relevant buffers with that refcnt.

So it won't be perfect, but you can add safety versus what you get in C. You can even add safety versus what you'd get in C++ because of the lifetimes you can associate.
Yes. thats right.
Why waste time to vote when its going to be vetoed? Also, you can claim in the future that you didn't vote for the bill. It benefits both parties.
The Verge = They Live
It doesn't, but the name is too similar to apt-get. It's a naming issue.
This is good news but I am concerned that “the other shoe is going to drop” and A.G. Barr’s request that all encrypted communications have a back-door for law enforcement (and hackers) will be strongly advocated. You know, to keep the kids safe.
Because MAC (ie. SELinux and AppArmor) is part of the tooling the container runtime needs to sandbox services. Without SELinux you end up with the awkward situation where services are running as real users on your system and there's no real way to confine them beyond that.
Despite the sassy response in the FAQ about Vim keybindings, I am planning to implement Vim keybindings for micro in the next version, along with an improvement to the keybinding system in general. Stay tuned for 2.1.0 which I hope will include this feature.
Understanding client-side JavaScript frameworks
Agreed. Sometimes, when reading articles/comments about out-sourcing, I question my own sanity. We've done it before, am I the only one remembering it? It failed miserably.

If companies want to relocate work to India, or China, or Eastern Europe, they can already do it.

I believe the sentiment most people are expressing when they say you cannot separate the "trip" from the beneficial effects is that they both have the same origin or causative agent. Personally I'm in the "neural annealing" camp and it makes sense to me from personal experience that the benefits are due to psychedelics being a drug that essentially induces a state that you would normally only experience during profound and meaningful experiences. Those are the only other circumstances where I have felt the same as I have with psychedelics, experiencing a deep connection with the awesome scale and complexity of the natural world, falling in love, reading a life changing book, being transported emotionally and mentally by a symphony, getting caught up in the experience of a great movie, the physical rush of pushing yourself to your limits when exercising. We have drugs that seem to be able to produce the same life altering experiences that they can on demand. That's why it seems perverse to many people when it's argued that we should distill just the dregs of chemicals that produce the change without realizing that the actual mental and physical journey, the story that you weave around that experience that includes yourself, your thoughts, your environment and the people around you is probably the most important part. You can't just be happy all the time without having a reason to be happy, you can't be in love without someone to love and if you could it would seem more like a nightmare than an improvement.
This pretty clearly falls under the Off-Topic section in the guidelines.

If there was one thing I'd change with python to make it more 'functional' it would be having lambdas that weren't expression-only. I know it's not a functional feature because it's for stateful programming, but the lack of it disallows some nice stuff.
I believe it's more about your psychology at the time but also your past trauma that determines how you react to it. Experience with meditation should help with any weird moments too.
I caution against cherry-picking authorities making errors to conclude authority is a flawed concept. Societies have gone down the anti-intellectual road before, and it ends poorly. Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge. Stalin's USSR.

Correlation doesn't imply causation. Authorities on topics making errors get reported on more often because it's news. They also have more responsibility to be correct; the alternative to authority isn't truth, it's people taking wild guesses without the benefit of training. They are wrong more often, and they don't tend to make newspaper inches without that error causing some disaster because it's expected that people spouting off in a field outside their expertise would be wrong more often.

Nobody is systematically fact-checking HN comments, for instance, because none of us are assumed to be authorities on anything. ;)

A President, in contrast, is supposed to be an authority on, at least, the Constitution (or at the least, to know when their expertise is lacking), as he takes an oath to uphold it. The current President is demonstrably not (multiple EOs overturned by the courts are evidence of this). And his threats against Twitter show an extremely disturbing willingness to abdicate his responsibility to uphold the First Amendment. If the media is being hard on him, it's because they're doing their job; his behavior admits scrutiny beyond the extreme scrutiny his office alone already admits. When not even the Federal Election Commission agrees with the President's grandiose statements (https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/499890-fec-chairwoman-...), the media is asleep at the wheel if they aren't fact-checking him.

Correlation does not imply causation. I hypothesize problems increasing while we've had Presidential Presidents (and to my memory, we've only had the one type!) isn't being caused by Presidents; it's caused by the world becoming increasingly complicated as systems interconnect, economic engines get larger, and money, people, and information flow more swiftly. I know some people believed electing a "non-Presidential President" might generate a different result, but honestly... Are things, on net, better now than they were in 2016? Not even the economy is on an upswing anymore.
Timezones, sanctions, taxes, labor laws.

Yeah, there's no way the governments of nations will let their companies outsource their IT more and more that easily.

Not all spam is illegal, neither do I think it should be. National isolation would therefore not solve the problem entirely (if even for the most part) nor is it usually a desireable solution.

How do you find that community? Discoverability is a huge problem and word of mouth is by far not enought to replace search engines.

Your proposal to monetization seems to be an approach that hasn't succeeded in any way on the internet, despite people trying various ways.

My personal feeling on the tasks is that your solutions are not very helpful to tackle any of those problems.
I would go further and say that SELinux (and AppArmor) aren't defense in depth but actually a necessary part of the tooling to implement sandboxing of containers.
Small market, low demand. Low demand, low prices
My wife and I use Shipt and we always get a guy named Matthew. If we order apples, Matthew takes the time to find the good apples. If he doesn't like the apples he will text my wife and ask if we want to nix the apples in our order. Matthew always gets a very generous tip and I think there is an opportunity for a service to take a white glove approach to grocery shopping that busy people will pay a premium for.
Absolutely, those are some very good points, thanks!
Side question. I have noticed for a few weeks now that since I don't have a Medium account I'm prevented from reading certain articles (like this one), but I still have access to some other articles on the platform. Does it mean that some authors require that the readership be part of the network too? What are the rules?
I mean, it worked out for one side of that equation
