The days are counted from the release of a fix. If something been known for two years but a fix was released on 11th August, then it was a zero-day for the two years until 11th August and it's a "day-6" vulnerability today.

IIRC the term was introduced to contrast with day-1 attacks with exploits developed by reverse engineering patches on the day they are released and attempting to exploit systems in the gap until they get patched.
The state capital of Baja California is also less than 10 miles away from El Centro containing upwards of a million people dependent on the fact truck & rail are prioritized over US waterways, which is also at the center of one of Mexico’s very few easily productive agricultural regions (which relies on a canal that would be underwater).

And also because journalists could go to prison for reporting on it.
In the UK they pushed for pubs to close much earlier. The effect was that people would start drinking earlier and more (at home), and binging because stuff closes earlier. TL;DR it backfired.
Yeah I know, we do use Sendgrid at both botmakers.net and tarta.ai now.

Sendgrid allows me to create campaigns and send them to an email list, I'm looking to do exactly the same for SMS.

This certainly sounds it is more about bad planning than viability of renewables. Maybe a gas plant isn't economically viable if it just runs on peak hours, but the can be quickly brought to a state where energy is produced. Nuclear plants have more difficulties here, coal plants are dirtier.

Every form of energy production has advantages and disadvantages...
Which Australian media do you follow? I'd say that Crikey covers politics as well as the best newspapers do overseas, and most countries dream of having a TV show like 4 Corners.

The media is certainly getting smaller—everywhere, not just in Australia—and important things aren't getting reported. The answer to that is pretty boring, though: pay your subscription fees already.
Not to mention, with flux you can get the schedule just right. I work night hours, so it’s a light shade of red. But around 1:30 am it gets really, really red. It 1) tells me I should go to bed if I want to be functional when I wake up. 2) I don’t need to be paying attention to the clock and incidentally rush some work.
They really should stop saying "Australian news media" when they are referring to commercial entities only.

The fact that the public ABC and SBS media are not allowed to be compensated says everything about the intent and motivation of this policy.
> Your response is unrelated to what I was disagreeing with.

Well the flow of money is the source of pretty key in enabling a strong, free press.

> My underlying argument is that a strong free press must be maintained and that the reductionist argument that legitimate news sources and JoeRandomYouTuber should be treated identically is naive at best.

Sure.

So there should be some kind of non-discriminatory rules that allow new players to find a voice as well as maintaining credible news sources.

> Traditional news sources found their revenue declining and so chased whatever attracted consumers, including sensationalist cretins like Bolt. Google should accept responsibility for this.

Well I agree that the news ecosystem has changed, and I agree that a strong and free press has value.

> At least they're doing something.

See I don't see this as a good thing at all. I see this as making the problem worse by funding players who are some of the worse examples.
This law is the latest iteration of newspaper's attempts to turn Google into an ATM for the industry.

The first attempt was in Germany. The law said search engines must pay newspapers to index their content. However it didn't specify what the price should be, so Google simply negotiated a fee of zero and the law was in effect nullified.

The second attempt was in Spain. It is the same law, but this time they added a clause that said the fee can't be zero. So Google News was shut down in Spain and the law was in effect nullified again.

The third attempt is in EU and Australia. In Australia it's the same law, but this time it says the fees both cannot be zero and that you aren't allowed to shut down your service. In the EU the assumption is Google can't pull out, so if a Spain-style law is passed at the Commission level then Google have to pay up.

What comes next? My guess - either this is the point where Google breaks or they pull out of Australia completely. They did it on principle for China, once, and that was a drastically larger market. But it's not the same company it once was.

It may be that Google/FB just decide indexing news isn't worth it. Bing can serve loss-making news queries. Or someone would set up a news-focused search engine in the USA that doesn't have any legal presence anywhere else. Indexing news is a much more tractable problem than indexing the entire web especially with advances in AI-driven NLP. However, there's the question of how to get people to pay for it.

edit: apparently the law is a bill of attainder and names who it applies to specifically, note these laws are unconstitutional in the USA (at least theoretically).
Just name your payload something like

"foo\u200fism.jar" (\u is the Python escape for arbitrary unicode codepoints)

And Windows will (as of a couple years ago, at least) render it as "fooraj.msi"

(Though I'm not sure what kind of verification prompt you'd get in this circumstance)
>I think it is a good idea for a trial to have an official record that has been processed by a human, instead of just throwing a recording up and calling it a day.

especially if someone points at someone else or uses other means of communication. Of course the judge can then say what was communicated so there is a verbal record in the recording but it is probably better that the court reporter is there in that case.
> Google will not be required to charge Australians for the use of its free services such as Google Search and YouTube, unless it chooses to do so.

> Google will not be required to share any additional user data with Australian news businesses unless it chooses to do so.

I don't think Google actually made either of these claims in their letter.

They didn't mention charging for services at all. They said "the free services you use may be at risk". Given the context, I took that to mean the quality of the service would tank if they had to share their algorithm changes.

The data portion is a little less clear. Google was very weasel wordy - they definitely wanted it to sound like they would have to turn over user data, but if you read carefully they only say they would have to share data about how they collect the user data.
I would very much like an English style pub that serves full English in the mornings. In the UK the price point is also very attractive; a meal that lasts you for most of the day for often less than 5 pounds.
Ask HN: Startup founders giving me a run-around for compensation
Hello HN,

About 4 years ago, a couple of founders of a tech company came to me for advice regarding their technology and team. I helped them with initial tech evaluation and where they stand in terms of their product and also conducted numerous interviews to hire them their CTO who has been a vital asset in their growth. We had a gentleman agreement for X% equity(low single digit) for my continued efforts. Fast-forward to today, they seem to be doing very well($20Mn valuation). During the period they didn't contact me after the CTO hire and I didn't follow-up either much (once a year) due to chronic health issues.

Few months ago, they contacted me out of the blue to compensate me for my work. I felt elated to have had a contribution in a successful outcome but it was short-lived. They wanted to give me a token compensation about $10k based on my contribution in the hiring ignoring all the other efforts I took or time value of money. Their main point of contention is that I wasn't available to them during the whole period and as such don't deserve the equity. My hands being tied (no legal agreement beyond an email), I reluctantly agreed. However, their behavior has been nothing short of unprofessional going forward. I have to email/text them 3-4 times over period of weeks to get any kind response from them.

It feels so demeaning to "beg" for the money owed to you, and I feel terribly depressed and feel like I lost my self-respect. Unfortunately, I am not in a financial position to just let go but it sure as hell made me feel disgusted with myself. Not to mention I will never be able to help or trust anyone especially founders. They learn from vulture capitalists and do the same tricks to you.

Maybe I am just being bitter and it has probably nothing to do with Ask HN, but all advice is welcome. If not, let this story be a reminder to good folks here that no good deed goes unpunished.
Much better solution.

These marketplace schemes never work in reality. except for creating a bunch of marketplace middleman saas that makes money.
Thanks for sharing, didn't knew about this one. It seems quite similar indeed.

> 20 dollars a month is an insane amount to pay if you run several projects that might or might not be profitable

I used to have this mentality as well. Do everything for free, use open source, self-host everything--the classic frugal hacker mindset.

Then I realized that I was spending 80+ hours tinkering around with static sites and different headless CMS option and had done absolutely none of the actual work required to bring people to my sites (which is the more important work).

When I take small freelance gigs I charge roughly $100/hr. That means I spent $8,000 of my own time on tinkering around with what was essentially bullshit.

Forcing myself to pay for SaaS tools has been amazing at focusing my attention. It's a perfect signal for what I should be working on.

If I don't feel confident investing $20/month in a site for my project, why the hell is anybody going to feel confident paying that or more for what I'm creating?

It's forced me to kill what's not worth my time, and focus on what actually has the real potential.

> any normal OEM's support?

What "normal OEM support" (like which company, for example?) has been good at regularly releasing security patches and keeping on top of various vulnerabilities? Especially past the 1-2 years after the release date of the device? Especially if you consider those companies that without any real consent from you install dozens of their own adware and spyware on each update that you can't even remove (like you can't remove system apps in android, only "disable" them, to make the phone nag you all the time to re-enable them).

Not having to rely on the joke of the "OEM support" from the big companies is the very reason to use these open phones.
Nuclear is dead because nobody is willing to pay for it. Building safe nuclear reactors is just a money thing. Disposing of waste is all about money. Decommissioning unsafe reactors is also just a matter of money.

Before you tell me that regulations are a waste of money think about the two easily preventable nuclear accidents we have already had in the past simply because the people responsible weren't willing to spend money.

Here is my advice. Build products (read reactor designs) that people are willing to buy today and you'll find lots of customers.

Suspicious Canon outage leads to image.canon data loss
Talk about misdirection by a shill. You are conflating two completely different issues. Google is getting away with corporate murder. That is the crux of the matter at hand.

- Google does not pay taxes. And
- They don't pay for content

You are attempting to distract from Google's shortcomings by attacking Aus Govt, Murdoch news orgs. So f*ing disingenuous.
It's not possible to truly know what they want, but it is possible to ask them. Almost all people say they want more personalized content, especially for entertainment. Those who don't want it are free to opt out. The real bubble is around the belief that products with billions of active users somehow thrive without giving users what they want.
Working less is better for the economy
That’s true, but if you base the system on the smaller BlackBird motherboard (as I did) you can go much lower.
https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/Blackbird

You might also not need the Radeon WX7100 Pro, if a consumer level graphic card is enough there are sevaral options:
https://wiki.raptorcs.com/wiki/POWER9_Hardware_Compatibility...

The more you’re ready to do-it-yourself, the more you can save. You absolutely need the motherboard and IBM chip, and then you can get other things like memory, storage, graphic card, etc. used for much cheaper. Only the memory is a bit special as it has to be registered, but because of that you might be able to find good deals since it can’t be used in standard desktop computers.

You can get more performance for the same price with AMD/Intel, but for those interested this platform is not that out of reach. I use it as my workstation and I’m happy with it.
I would argue that the out of band management provided by DMTF DASH is closer to what people consider then Intel backdoor then the AMD PSP. The PSP cannot be accessed remotely and is only available locally which removes most of the attack surface.

No it is not ... but it is the temperature a lot of people are affected by, isn't it?

Same with my south side office place directly behind a huge glass window, no AC [1]. Super nice too look out ... but 35+ °C on "normal" 25+ °C degree days.

[1] Other parts of the building reflect sun light back on our window front ... I actually got pictures of objects on my desk casting two shadows.
Expected to see Q here.
It wasn't 54.4°C though! The original value was only 130 °F which is probably between about 54.2 and 54.7 °C but somebody made it look more accurate during that first conversion which fooled you with the very thing you're saying is OK.

You're bound to sometimes lose information doing round trip conversions no matter how many digits you have so don't do that if you care about keeping as much precision as possible.

The Guardian reported it as 129.9 °F because they converted twice!
It's very nice to have videos and that must be a lot of work!

It's just that I like having those good old tutorials with text an few screenshots.
The license is basically a death sentence (or alternatively a fragile lifeline) if the lyrics page is not being linked to. Former content producers for the open web have turned to content producers for Google. This is how serfdom works
> 328K and convert that back to Celsius you end up with 54.85°C

No, that's wrong. If you convert 328K to Celsius, you get 55C. You can't add arbitrary precision to a number. The correct calculation for a whole degree is:

54C => (54 + 273)K => 327K

If you want a single decimal place of precision:

54.4C => (54.4 + 273.2)K => 327.6K

You can then subtract 273.2 to convert back, and you get the 54.4C you started with.
Does it need to be the public that funds this iniative? I am not against that in principle, but such public funding would probably have to have some wider scope in order to benefit members of our society which are not planning to be working in web dev as well.

Why can't there be some sort of industry association that pays for shared goods that everyone in the industry benefits from? Are companies just unable to see the benefits gained from this?
I just remember for non-Australians and Australians too: if you still use Bitbucket, Jira, or another Atlassian products - think about the privacy right now.
The comments you were replying to are about News Corp, who have done done very specific damage to the Us, UK and Australia specifically.

As far as I know they operate in those 3 places. I'm not aware of any operation they have in Germany.
The key is to use select few plugins, with huge communities, sure to be updated to the latest version...

You still need to check on them, sure.

Well, if you don't find out that it's broken fast enough, perhaps you don't need it anyway!
That's.. awful. A Murdoch bill, then.

From a quick skim of that response, it reads to me like Walker admits to and agrees with at least some of the criticism.

But it also looks like he ignores some of the more damning accusations, like cutting out parts of graphs that don't support his theories, being incorrect that the WHO has declared that we have a "sleep loss epidemic", and questions about where he actually earned his PhD (which he seems to continually misrepresent).

So yes, he seems to have responded to the criticism, but IMO not really addressed it to a satisfying degree.
Gay men certainly enjoy bars full of guys, which your wildly heteronormative claim seemed to forget.
You don't think you'll find discord in Ukraine, the country in a cold civil war?
I don’t even attempt to reconcile it because they’re totally different things... ‘Open’ means that you’re allowed to understand exactly how it works and that there’s no mysteries. It means having the blueprints of the machine, not a free machine.
I first came across this phenomenon with the Kosovo issue mentioned elsewhere. But it immediately made sense to me from driving a gas car (you don’t notice it in an electric): hold your foot on the gas pedal without moving it and go up a hill. What happens? The engine RPM go down and also the car slows down (because it depends on RPM to the wheels). As the load increases, without more power (fuel flow) the engine slows down.

Same with an electric generator/motor: if you pull power off more than it’s being driven, each push from the driving field is less than enough for the rotational rate, so the rotation is slower, and thus the frequency too.
>The straight-up lying by one of Australia's highest ranked politicians bodes poorly, and goes hand-in-hand with Federal Police raiding a journalists home.

As an aside, this is par for the course on our current government. They don't have policy, just lies and fearmongering.
They certainly imply they will either be removing services or putting them behind a paywall. Some choice quotes from the google letter:

> Hurting the free services you use ... demands that would put our free services at risk.
JAMStack: What, Why and How?
A-Levels: The Model is not the Student
> Reading the defenses here in HN, I have become personally partial to conspiracy theories that too many paid commenters are among the crowd here.

What do you mean? It's a ridiculous, arbitrary money grab used to fund old the old media mates of politicians.

See Mike Cannon Brooke's (as someone who most definitely isn't getting paid by Google) thread to see how insane the rules are:

>"Centralization wins" is the wrong conclusion from this dataset. Discord & Slack have seen far more investment in UX & backend than IRC & Jabber.

I'd still argue that it correlates with centralization. We could argue about causation but it still goes hand in hand IMO.

A company is much less likely to invest resources into improving IRC or Jabber
because if you made huge breaking changes you'd end up with an incompatible,
custom fork of the protocol (negating the benefit of using a standard protocol,
since you'd effectively lose the interop with third party client) and even if
you kept the standards open and federation possible you're basically hurting
your own business since you make it easy for people to use your work without
giving you a way to monetize it.

If your objective is to be profitable it makes a lot more sense to just create
your own centralized, proprietary protocol and clients that you control
end-to-end. Standardizing and federating your protocol is a massive amount of
headache in the long run for very little benefit in terms of $$$.
I spent 25 years feeling tired all of the time. Chronic night owl, I would find that my most productive periods would come precisely when I was "supposed" to go to sleep. I could either lay in bed, wide awake and frustrated, or end up destroyed the next day, which was basically every day. I'd try to catch up on weekends, but you'll find plenty online about how poorly this actually works.

What changed is that I noticed how, left to my own devices without external schedule pressure, I would naturally drift 3h forward every day - and so I realized I had the opportunity to actually fully go with the schedule my body seemed to want to have. I informed my family what I intended to do, cleared my calendar for the next week, and went for it.

First observation: my biggest hesitation was social judgement. I was consciously aware of how little I wanted people to think I was a weird dude.

Well, turns out I'd rather be weird and feel great than normal and feel like a zombie. My body almost immediately seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and six months later, this part of my life is amazing.

I find it endlessly curious how some people seem seriously distraught when I tell them what I've been up to. Not because they have any medical opinion, but because it appears to challenge something that clearly gives them a feeling of being normal.

My doctor actually had very little to say, once they heard me out and read the research I gave them. Essentially, "please stop if you start feeling bad".
For me, it's just about learning from others or getting in touch with the part of myself that was excited about programming.

I worked in web development for a few years (2010-2015) and then left to start a company with a friend (mid 2015). We decided to build audio reactive visualization software written in C/C++/glsl, way different from where web development was and is (still do web stuff but primarily backend services for our app and React for the sites).

The industry we're in focuses primarily on international music festivals (burning man, boom) and specialized art installations/exhibits. We were successful and now we have employees, a vibrant community, ambitions plans for new products, and aggressive deadlines.

I say that only to point out that work is work. Whether you're working for someone or working for yourself, you can always find things to stress about and reasons to push yourself to the brink of burnout.

As corny as it sounds, Handmade hero has been a reminder of the reason I quit my job 5 years ago to do something technologically and emotionally challenging. It keeps me in touch with the younger me that that just wanted to learn everything I could about programming, web/native/embedded whatever.

To your point, though, it definitely is not for everyone. If you see software as simply a means to an end, then there is nothing wrong with focusing on components that make products viable. I enjoy the craft but I also understand you can't have success by being precious about every little technical detail.

Just wanted to share my experience. I wish I would have come across something like handmade sooner in my dev journey.
