Note that for OSS images, that's a non-trivial thing to do—you have to have somewhere to run the image, and somewhere to store your images (e.g. S3), both of which are non-free, and would also require more documentation and less discoverability than Docker Hub offers.
You'll get a response but it'll always be a polite "fuck off" unless you have some sort of actual authority (are you the trademark holder? are you LE? do you have a court order?). You'll have better luck contacting the hosting provider because they're actually responsible for the content.
You sound very similar to me in that respect. I found it a real grind and pretty demoralising in general. Is there anything I can give you comfort on regarding the process of speaking to a doctor or psychiatrist about it? Or is it something you feel is not having serious enough downsides in your life to warrant the time?
Target investors with the most effective media
Wrap with LibreBoot, replace all the non-free firmware, check your hardware on a microscope against embedded backdoors, oh, and don't forget to verify your stack's source and your building environment.

But, well, you can stop at your CPU's manufacturer website, where you will find ME/PSP, well documented as a backdoor. It will save you the trouble of verifying the hardware and firmware.
Rebbelith used our systems to identify exactly which media and journalists are valued by some of the busiest venture capital firms in the UK at the moment.

We believe growing companies should have the opportunity to communicate their value directly to target investors through the most effective media.
Well, the waste collectors will recalculate the price with more transparency and start sorting the lower value items instead of putting everything inside a landfill.

Then they will create a spin-off with more efficient people dedicated to collect "precious" trash.
It does not require snap, it is just the default way to install it. You can compile it yourself, or check the repositories of your distro of choice otherwise.

I think Arch has it in their repositories, for example.
Referring to it as stealing when the owner put it out as trash makes it lose the moral cachet. I don't have a hugely positive view of garbage men as crusaders for truth and justice. I have no clue what separates legitimate garbagemen from illegitimate ones. So far the only difference to me, the theoretical person who had his trash taken before the day I expected it to be taken, is it's a bit cheaper, so it seems like all of the harm is on someone completely unrelated to me.

If I were to pay these men to take the trash away, would that be better for the city?
>we've stopped trying because we own the market

I always laugh at that take. Imagine working for Intel today and hear people complain you're not even trying.
> I think PyPy is switching to cffi as the way to connect to C code so most native code "just works" now.

As far as I know extensions need to be written for cffi specifically.

cffi is a newer way of writing C extensions, developed by the PyPy project. It was designed to have a smaller&cleaner interface to let you call C code from Python.
Here's Armin Rigo talking about it at EuroPython: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejUzVcvTLgI

The CPython way of writing extensions is documented here:
https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html
It seems to require you to deal with the internals of the CPython interpreter (deal with PyObject structs, reference counting, etc).

I know PyPy has some support for CPython extensions, but it has to emulate some internals and it's slower as a result.
Yeah actually I think this would be a great idea. Surely some defense contractor or aerospace company would fund this work.
Israeli and UAE teams will meet "to sign bilateral agreements regarding investment, tourism direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, the establishment of reciprocal embassies, and other areas of mutual benefit."

This is exciting news, indeed. Israel, with its huge technology sector and UAE with its massive financial resources could together work to transform the Middle East.

The announcement alluded to future similar deals with other Arab countries. Likeliest would be Saudi Arabia, another oil-rich moderate state that already has informal back-channel relations with the Jewish state.

We shouldn't fool ourselves that this will bring peace in the region this year, but it will certainly put a kink in Iran's expansionist/destabilization efforts, and it will bolster the Trump Administration's prestige in the region, pushing other countries to "fall in line" as it were and support some kind of general framework for peace if not an outright full recognition of Israel's legitimacy.

Nothing, unless you have a application-specific upgrade daemon running. Sounds like a good design, right? :)

SEEKING WORK - Istanbul, Turkey / REMOTE

Hi, I'm a full-stack developer with 10+ years of experience. I worked on a wide range of projects with clients from mostly English speaking countries. Currently available. Would like to work on your MLPs (Minimum Lovable Product).

I try to work on my clients projects like they're my own and strive to do best both technically and business-wise.

Interested in JS work right now.

I am also open to interesting and challenging work, involving research and learning.

I'm selling a SAAS service that will pull each of your images once every 6 months...thank you Docker.
If they take Fortnite down though, it's an open and shut antitrust case: Because even our broken antitrust law in the US understands consumers getting higher prices because of monopolies. This is why Epic is so loudly showcasing the price savings of bypassing Apple.

If Apple takes down Fortnite here, the DOJ takes down the App Store.

None of the big providers offer always-free VMs, but if you could just ping the registry endpoint, Lambda might be able to do it since you get 3.2 million seconds of compute "always free"[0]. Same for Google Cloud Run, although it's only 1GB egress a month[1], and Azure Functions[2].

This is pretty common:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/quebec-police-admit-they-went...

"However, the police force denied allegations its undercover officers were there on Monday to provoke the crowd and instigate violence."

"Police came under fire Tuesday, when a video surfaced on YouTube that appeared to show three plainclothes police officers at the protest with bandanas across their faces. One of the men was carrying a rock."

"In the video, protest organizers in suits order the men to put the rock down, call them police instigators and try unsuccessfully to unmask them."

These events are not commonly believed when there isn't clear cut video evidence, though. Property destruction will be, by default, blamed on the protestors rather than police instigators. In this case the police were easily identified simply because they were sloppy and forgot to not wear police issue boots. Had the video not proved that and that they intended to commit violence, this would have been a wild conspiracy theory.

I don't quite understand why this practice isn't extremely illegal in every country that has pretenses towards democracy. It's a form of fraud.

You can use Guix on distros with impure repos, not just the GNU Guix system, and use the host distro's packages for proprietary software (if you can't just use Slack's web client, or use a laptop with a freedom-respecting wifi card / a little dongle / ethernet).

There was one in Chicago just over the weekend. Police declarations of riots are much more common than what you or I would call a true riot, but I don't think it's reasonable to suggest that riots are a non-issue.
Let me just be the one to say your choice of topic for exploration is incredibly cringeworthy in 2020. Also inaccurate for some parts of the adult male population. Use a better example next time.
Sure, I just don't think Epic has a very strong argument there. I mean, who knows what lawmakers will think, but if I was the one to decide, I would tell Epic tough luck.

Consumers can choose to side-step the Play Store with a few taps. iOS users would need to throw out their phones.
You can get by with one designed for 2.4GHz wifi if those are easier to acquire. They were < $50 on Amazon when I did my build a year or so ago.

When you're stuck being the "computer person" in a family, it means you need to manage things like people's laptops that have somehow associated .exe files with MS Word or a game suddenly starting in the background and making a bunch of noise on Android (I've dealt with these first-hand). There's a market for devices that give power users some access, but not so much they can cause problems. Right now, I somewhat selfishly suggest iPhones/iPads to family members, because they live near enough to Apple stores that I don't have to be the one supporting them, and that the devices are harder to put into a state where the unpredictable starts happening.
It's a pity you just made this "rule" up, because the delivery was very convincing.

No, such a rule doesn't exist. Seems more like "an eye for an eye" than any form of civilized law.
I don't know about international law, but it goes against one of Geneva conventions Israel signed. Also, I'm not sure, it must be temporary. Usually occupying force want to leave it establish civil administration ASAP due to costs.

Complete nonsense, totally different in all regards.

In 1928 the T Cell overreaction killed young healthy people with an IFR over 50%. You barely had a chance, there were no immunosuppressors known, 50m dead.

2019 kills only old or sick people like with the seasonal flu, with an extremely low IFR, 0.3% in the east, 1.0% in the west. The only problem is the lack of a vaccine. Still lower than in a strong flu season (600k - 2m dead) as with a swine flu (low HxNx)
Was looking for this comment! This is key here, because the story is extra sad given Mozilla/FF's initial strong surge in leader front-end developer tools. Before the Firebug extension I think I just did like View Source still from the menu? Yikes!

Chrome copied it and at first IMO it wasn't nearly as good inside Chrome as in FF. But that did eventually change and for some years now I (sadly) agree I also prefer Chrome's.

He said DDoS which has nothing to do with the data itself, and auth/captcha won't help. You'll have to upgrade to beefier servers, fatter pipes, or pay for a reverse proxy.. CF is free now and kinda helps sometimes, but it wasn't in the past, and any hacker with a grudge can take down your site anyway. It's about forcing you to spend money; which, if you're a hobby site forum host, you probably don't have.
Indeed, quite sad. This risk aversion, or maybe inability to weigh benefits against costs, is the stagnation Thiel is always talking about.
Everything should.
There are some dialogical strategies people use to avoid any discussion. One such is "conspiracy theory". Next time, when TPTB don't want to have a discussion, they will have their media buddies call their opponents conspiracy theorists. That way, there will never have any dialogue, thereby preventing any accountability of TPTB.
I studied ecology for a while, and have published a paper in the field. It works exactly the same way as any complex system. If you can't pinpoint a single factor, you're probably failing somewhere. To blame everything on "it's a complex system" is usually a cop out from lack of knowledge, whether the system is genuinely complex or not.

> You have to enable it explicitly for any app you want to sideload from

Problem is e.g. Facebook will immediately require side loading so they can install all manner of spyware that wouldn’t make it through the App Store’s vetting process.

In the Old Testament there was a temple with a circular pit that was 10 cubits across and 30 cubits around.

A sensible person would say the ancient Hebrews did not know as much about math as the ancient Greeks.

If you think the bible is infallible then you have some contradictions to resolve, maybe you build a hexagonal pit at your temple or maybe the pit had 10^14 kg of neutronium in it, or legislate that pi=3.
I try to participate in Startup School each time it comes around. I find it incredibly good practice for "the real thing".

I'm not quite ready to start my own venture just yet, but I like to "practice" by coming up with an idea, setting goals, moving towards them, doing interviews, etc. The startup school is a really nice program to follow along with and have conversations with other founders during. I'm basically using it to war-game a startup launch myself. The idea being that when the time comes that I decide to jump in on something I'm very passionate about and put skin-in-the-game, it should all feel familiar (if not just a tiny bit more comfortable).

Of course it's not a substitute for the real thing, but I think it's brought immense value to my skillset.
Mozilla, Google and Apple are no startups.

Of course startups CEO will have different goals - company at different stages of their growth will have very different goals and tangentially they need different CEOs with different skill sets to achieve those different goals.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think you accurately identify some of the key challenges.

We really like the idea of empowering the domain experts to leverage data by upskilling them to Python. It's a much better tool than i.e. Excel, which tends to dominate many corporate environments still today.

However, we'll also make sure Orchest plays well with the tools software engineers already use (such as git for versioning, framework/library integration, and Bring Your Own Editor support).
All: Rust has clearly reached the now-it's-a-flamewar-trigger stage of the hype cycle. Nobody wants that. If you're posting to HN, please stick to interesting specific things, not boring generic ones.

As long as the Dockerfile is released alongside, this should not be an issue.

I don't see any valid reason why anyone would upload and share a public docker image but not its Dockerfile and therefore do not pull anything from Dockerhub that doesn't also have the Dockerfile on the Dockerhub page.
There are infinite questions I've never asked myself. First one to come to mind, "why does my neighbor have the name that they do?"

This presentation is actually titled "Chinese Tech Landscape Overview." It's from May 2019. It contains candid evaluations of American technology companies' strengths and weaknesses along side those of Chinese companies [1].

I originally intended to jump forward to the pages 88-99 that were highlighted by the submitter. Instead, I read or skimmed every page in the document. This is the most riveting presentation I have seen in years. Mass surveillance coupled with AI is only one of many sections.

It also addresses:

- China's homegrown digital innovators

- China's dependence on imported semiconductors

- AI in transportation and medicine

- Banking and payment systems

- The future global manufacturing landscape

- The future of global development and governance

Among others.

[1] Mostly candid. I found it a bit self-congratulatory toward Google's TPU technology and Waymo.
> intel's entire line of (consumer) desktop parts is different bins of the same chip.

Is that true? Intel's 14nm yields are high enough that it wouldnt really make sense for the dirt cheap quad core processors to secretly be 8 core processors with half the cores (and cache) disabled.
Presumably because app developers might choose not to go through the curated App Store route and in turn, cut corners or do shady things just because they can. Imagine if Tik Tok was only available to side load -- they'll scrape whatever they want/can and teens aren't going to risk FOMOing for that alone.

Maybe it is time for Mozilla to move away from SV then. It is not as if there are no competent developers who would be willing to work on Firefox for $50k/year in other states or even countries.

Heck, the money that they get from google per year is enough to pay for 1000 developers paid at $100k/year each for 5 years.

You are right. Your comment combined with dozens of inane one line exclamations about how well done, great, etc. this is made me kinda suspicious. And indeed, one of his previous submitted links is some kind of guide on how to clean tile floors in 2020. Some of the commenters here are commenting twice, saying basically some thing and even their history is full of low effort comments.

Nobody can convince me this isn't a spam ring.
It's core benefit proposition - improved memory safety - is or has been adopted in other languages like C++ or Ada (or even D for those who care). The legitimate question therefore arises as to whether the other features available in Rust justify an additional programming language. I'm rather conservative and think it's better to improve the existing sites than to open a new one. Time will tell.
Ubuntu Mate + Intel GFX + 2 4k monitors = Works perfectly™
No they won't. Facebook is in the Play Store on Android, and they used the Windows 10 Store up until they abandoned their desktop client. They want the largest user-base possible, which means they want finding and installing their app to be as frictionless as possible.
I have android devices too I know that all you need to do is tick a box, and there are apps on the Google Play Store that literally direct you to do that. Not to mention once that is a possibility the system is less secure, you btw can also side load apps without that tick box if you know what you are doing especially if developer options have been enabled.
