Yeah with data breaches becoming more and more common, I really think it's irresponsible to not have a way of contacting your users. Sure, you could throw a banner up on your website - but the comms should be immediate.

This might be reasonable for a service that doesn't sell anything, or there's absolutely nothing owed to users and users have no reasonable expectation of privacy. But any commercial or professional organisation that doesn't have a method for contacting end-users is either A. Shady as fuck (numbered accounts, darknet-hosted, ignorance by design), or B. irresponsible.

This is a website who's pure purpose is to extract PPC/ad and referral revenue from its users. There's no personal information requested from users, other than "Display Name". This is actually one of few exceptions I think the owner of the website is being more responsible with their user's data by not keeping anything.

However, if they are breached and are serving malware to customers for a week before realising, they will have no way to tell their users they may have been affected. Or what if someone decides to install a backdoor and log the user's email and password when logging in? This is nitpicking and honestly probably 1% of websites hacked in this way actually notify their customers, but it's nevertheless still a hole in the design.

They're also likely capping their earning potential if they do plan to sell the website, as they don't have any delicious user data to sell to marketers.. For which I commend Daniel and Bjorn! Well done.

I don't know, I'm thinking this is great, but also pretty bad. Maybe adding an opt-in for breach notifications would be useful, or having a third-party service to subscribe to breach notifications for the website would be the best of both worlds.
> Why would the RIAA takedown apply in other jurisdictions, when it cites US law?

The RIAA can probably afford to send a second letter citing British or German law.
First, I would gather some key buzzwords such as machine-learning, privacy-first, de-google, and whatever else the kids/investors like these days. Then, I'd do my best to create a brand associated with some such trendy buzzwords. Ideally I'd have some friends, or friends who have friends; friends who feel like investing and/or shilling hard to other investors, and who can also shill hard to potential users. If all goes well, after a couple years or so of heavy shilling and growth hacking and whatnot, me and my friends get our accountant and lawyer friends to do some sort of equity/legal sleight of hand, we the founders make a nice exit just before or just as our grassroots, cool, hip new product degenerates into some spurious incarnation of what it claimed it wouldn't become, and we the founders live happily ever after. Somewhere in that plan we build a search engine or whatever, but that's not really important.
You can have you gmail forward to your fastmail account. This way you leave it up but migrate over as you can (you won't miss updates, password reset emails, etc).

This opens up a number of interesting product and technical challenges that I'm personally very excited about!

Software is an integral part of the 10x Genomics product. We create software that generates and analyzes data for scientists to explore. We utilize Go, React, Typescript, and Electron to create intuitive visualization and web applications. Our data pipelines are primarily written using Numpy/Scipy/Pandas stack, but we're making increasing use of Rust.

We've always been remote-friendly and are looking for awesome people at various levels in these roles:

- Product Manager

- Frontend Engineer

- Full-Stack Engineer

- Backend Engineer

- Security Engineer

- Embedded Software Engineer

- Product Designer

Do You Need Microservice Architecture, Kubernetes or React?
This article will help you understand why you should choose the tool that fits your problem instead of making the problem fit your tool.
At some point I did. Now I’m barely using Google services (their maps is still the best), though the account still exists.

It is pleasant knowing that Google for some reason blocking my account would be a minor inconvenience as opposed to the destruction of my entire digital persona.
The PoE hat - at least the existing one as we know it - won't work for the 400. Besides the 40pin header it also uses another 2x2 header behind the magjack, which is where it receives the input from the ethernet jack.

Oddly, this board spots a separate ethernet transformer which does support PoE, but there's no circuity to tap that, and nowhere to add it. Which begs for a modification, but seems like missed opportunity.
Literally everyone who is a member of WIPO covers circumvention, so that's 193 countries.
Are you implying that there aren't unions in Europe?
DefenseStorm | Seattle, WA | DevOps Engineer/SRE | Full-time | REMOTE or ONSITE

https://www.defensestorm.com

DefenseStorm is a cybersecurity startup that helps banks and other financial institutions manage the deluge of security data that they produce. We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors.

I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Currently our engineering team is fully remote for COVID and we are conducting interviews remotely.

We are looking to add a third SRE to improve our bus factor, help manage our Elasticsearch cluster hosted on AWS, use Terraform and Chef to keep our Java microservice architecture happy, and otherwise make our systems run smoothly and securely. Our stack includes AWS, Elasticsearch, Terraform, Chef, Sensu, InfluxDB, Postgresql, and Phabricator. Ideal candidates will have some experience in several of these and be good at grokking docs to quickly get up to speed on the ones they haven't used.

Not just performance issues. WSL1 had so many limitations that it was silly.

WSL2 gives you pretty much the whole linux environment. A truly future of Linux of desktop...
Thanks for your kind words. It motivates to keep writing and sharing.
Yes, NYC is planning for at least two meters of sea level rise. Much of the subway works going on now are to handle more frequent and larger storm surges.
Your link for corruption is actually “corruption perceptions”, not actual corruption and the US is the same as France.
I did today. Have moved FB, Linkedin and Github account emails to my own domain so far. So much else to move (a very long tail), but I'm feeling pretty good already.

Btw: Most of these large social sites allow registering multiple emails for a user. That seems sane to use if your attack model primarily is Google attacking you by cancelling you. Keep one gmail email, and add one with your own domain. That's also a backup in case you mess up somehow with domain.
Wow I never thought of that possibility.

I can't stand the censoring by tech giants. It's applied unequally, there is no recourse, and it merely serves to enforce the orthodoxy and drive dissent underground. Honestly it's like the church in the middle ages. What a dystopian moment we're living through when monopoly corporations wield that power in society.

Facebook specifically can go to hell. They're making money by selling people's precious time to advertisers at pennies on the dollar. Jewel thieves pawning stolen goods at 10% of their value is less wasteful to society as a whole. I know they don't force anyone to use their services, but neither do the tobacco companies. They just get people addicted to their product. Just because it's legal doesn't make it ethical.
Read the article, it's OK. We're just canceling patriarchy.
I'm thinking about getting these for my nieces and nephews. What apps/bookmarks should I install for them to explore easily from the desktop. So far I'm thinking:
- Scratch
- Khan Academy
- RetroPi
- what else?
Apologies - I may have skipped over something when reading. I was responding to the implication that a smaller station now is an appropriate cost savings.
Well, infrastructure for 5,000,000 people built in surges over a century, one that saw unparalleled advances in technology and industry results in every kind of wire, pipe, conduit, pump, tile, fill and foundation conceivable. All built on top of one another in a big hurry.

If you have 1000 years to do it and grow slowly enough, maybe you have 2 or three layers.
Many "business" credit cards are actually secured personally. If the business fails to pay the debt, it falls back to the person issued the card. I know folks who found this out and had to pay off their business debts with their own funds. Credit cards companies aren't dumb.

Mortgages are secured by the property itself. Lenders use property valuations to determine the fair value of a property. If you take out 500K mortgage with 15K down, and fail to pay after a few years, odds are the bank can recoup most of the cost (barring a massive event like the 2008 financial crisis.) The risk is well understood.

If you invest in an early-stage, private company, it is secured by essentially nothing, except hopes and dreams. Often early business forecasts are so out of whack, they may as well be fictional. Private investments are completely non-liquid. There is generally no market.
So, if we assume that this game is important enough to somebody to televise, why would we not have volunteers to steer the camera? This does not look like a problem that needed AI applied to it, this has the look of somebody trying to apply AI to something that NI would have worked fine on.

Your basic soccer fan would have a pretty good idea of what part of the field is most interesting to be looking at right now, and would be happy to do it (for 10-15 minutes anyway) for free, and could do it remotely with a minimum of setup. You could have some season ticket holders (who can't use their tickets this year) volunteer to do it from their homes; they might even find it kind of exciting to do (for a while anyway), and you might quickly have a wait list.
My impression of a lot of poor areas, is that one of the first things they invest in is a TV. So they likely have a TV already. Switching between different usages of the TV they have is probably doable. Use the computer connected during day time for work, and use the TV functionality in the evenings for recreation.

I agree tablets and laptops are more accessible. But I think when it comes to really learning how to use a computer and realize its full potential you want a proper desktop computer with mouse, keyboard, connection ports. I think it is useful to learn how to plug in different USB devices, monitors etc.

Unlike a Chrome book or Tablet, a "real" computer give you a chance to learn about how a file system works, organizing files into folders. Using multiple programs to work on a collection of files. The single task orientation of tablets make them very user friendly and low threshold but that also limit you in how far you can go.

My kids started out on tablets but now I try to push them more onto using a regular computer.
No offense, but this sounds like the reaction of someone who doesn't actually use the subway to get around. The older stations in NYC are cramped and _dangerous_ because they're too small to handle the foot traffic heading through on a good day without delays. The new 2nd avenue subway stations are similarly large, and I can personally attest that this scale, which seems frivolous to you, makes life tangibly better for the commuters who rely on this infrastructure every day.
As my kids get old enough to get an email account, they won't be gmail.com accounts. But I will probably never cancel my gmail account which presumably at some point will have the same stigma as a hotmail or yahoo address does now.

That's the real threat to companies who get to Google's size: their customers dying more so than going to the trouble of switching.

edit to add: Which, I'd guess, is why Google has invested so much in Classrooms.

Where did you find a replacement mechanical keyboard for the 400? I never found one. I was so envious of the Sinclair owners because they had tons of options.
I just updated my Google One app to get the version that supports VPN. It's a huge privacy win to not have Comcast or my mobile data provider see my traffic.

Unless this is true staff augmentation it NEVER works out to that sort of margin. Overhead creeps in if you want to grow (and you want the quality to be maintained).

I'm guessing an established firm that hires and bills at those rates would end up having 40-50% margin at the end of the day.
Chipper Cash | Software Engineer, ML / Decision Scientist | SF HQ + REMOTE | Full Time

https://chippercash.com

We are growing fast here at Chipper Cash, the largest peer-to-peer cross-border money transfer platform in Africa. We are looking for exceptional teammates that can help us in our mission to provide financial services to the next billion folks on the continent.

We're backed by some of the best VCs (recently raised a Series A) and have a talented team that's already scaled the product to millions of users (ex Facebook, Google, Imgur, Airbnb). Stripe's recent $200m+ acquisition of Paystack reflects the maturity of the African tech ecosystem and market, which is ripe for disruption.

We're hiring across a multitude of remote roles:

• (Senior) Software Engineer, Intelligence/ML: https://www.notion.so/chippercash/Software-Engineer-Intellig...

• Decision Scientist, Intelligence: https://www.notion.so/chippercash/Decision-Scientist-Intelli...

Data stack: Postgres, Fivetran, Snowflake, dbt, Prefect, Dask, Flask, Mode

Our data is well-labeled, and you'll have access to a host of domain knowledge for further labeling via operations/data analysts (we have built Retool dashboards for this). We're also employing a slightly different philosophy to our ML/Data hiring: https://www.notion.so/chippercash/The-End-to-End-Machine-Lea...

Our Series A announcement: https://techcrunch.com/2020/06/16/african-payment-startup-ch...

Also looking for senior engineers skilled at Postgres, TypeScript, Node and React (on top of Heroku): https://chippercash.com/jobs/software-engineer.html

Happy to chat about growth numbers, product roadmap and overall vision. If interested, shoot over an email: samee@chippercash.com
This is a really great argument. While you can find used computers of all kind for $100, there is no guarantee what you will find in which condition. With the RP, you know you can buy a new machine for said price. This enables to plan availability as well as the curriculum, as the precise machine is known. This is the biggest value of the RP system anyway, the huge user base.

On the other side, it is perfectly reasonable to let the pupils find a screen on their own, most TVs or used computer screens will do.
> is all that going to support hundreds of thousands of ex-casino employees in Clark County?

Per the article, and per the above reasoning, the manufacturing and warehousing sectors probably won't, barring some massive surge in demand that the LA metro area can't handle.

Energy, however, very well could. Solar farms and geothermal plants ain't exactly maintenance-free and 100% automated, after all. Neither are the substations and power lines and other electrical infrastructure getting that power where it needs to be, nor are the roads and trucks getting equipment and parts to those solar farms and geothermal plants.

Plus, with a glut in green energy, other industries get a windfall, too. Electric cars become a lot more viable if literally every parking space is electrified and even the most podunk run-down corners of the state have fast-charging capability. Datacenters get more computing power per dollar as electricity costs go down. Manufacturing and warehousing get even more boosts from being able to run power-hungry equipment more affordably. All this would come without contributing to anthropogenic climate change, and without taking up space that might otherwise be used for farms or forests (good luck having much of either in the Great Basin).

I've been here for over 10. I've had accounts with lots of karma generated by simply agreeing with everything I read or just commenting with useless side suggestions. T

I've experimented a lot. Without changing tone just disagreeing with a popular opinion is all that you need to get voted down. I've even experimented with emotionally charged impolite popular opinions. People will vote you up just because they agree.

If I wanted a shitload of karma. I know how to get it. Removing one or two of the more "expressive" sentences above will in my experience not do much for a thread that is very very biasedly supporting FP. FP is great, I prefer it but most people cannot maintain such neutrality for their favorite paradigm. Or favorite anything for that matter.

Not to mention if you recall a while back someone posted a GPT-3 AI generated story that got voted to the front page. Most commenters didn't realize it was AI generated. A select few were able to figure it out and they posted comments that were vehemently voted down for not being in agreement with the general sentiment. HN is a technical crowd but they are not above common mob behavior.

https://www.theverge.com/2020/8/16/21371049/gpt3-hacker-news...

Scroll down to the picture. The person stated facts but his facts were misinterpreted to be attacks and he was told to be civil by someone who thought of himself as level headed. The reality is that the levelheaded person is as biased as one can get.

You think you're helping me. You think I'm putting up stubborn resistance to your help. Is that the case or am I just simply describing to you some of the insight I've gotten from messing around with HN for over a decade? Did I in fact put up stubborn resistance or am I just conversing with you and stating a disagreement? Hard to say.

Your immediate assumptions are no different than the "levelheaded" dude from earlier. Let's just be clear, I'm fully aware of the "expressive" areas in my posts.

You will also note that many of the posters assumed I'm attacking FP and that I don't have much experience with FP. All wrong assumptions. I have lots of experience and I prefer FP over other paradigms. I am simply stating that I disagree with the fact that algebra is the future of programming and can replace all imperative programming.
How did all those Kickstarter campaigns that raised over $1M work in light of the old limit?
I was considering posting that. I'm glad you did :)
They pretty much got caught blatantly lying. It’s possible that Shelby didn’t know it was faked at first, but by now he’s had the chance to find out and is complicit in the lie since he hasn’t confessed. I think a lot of other companies are going easy on them because they have also cheated and don’t want to start throwing stones in their zillion dollar sky castles, lest all the ultra rich owners that never drive their cars find out it’s a lie.

But expect to see a lot of hemming and hawing about how they’re having a tough time getting this next attempt scheduled and ask the permits in place. Because it isn’t going to happen. If it could, then they would have released the real footage and data to begin with.
Are you hard of hearing? The link you posted has the filing clearly visible in the video. I read it. All claims are based on actions taken in 2019. Not one mention of the youtube-dl DMCA violation.
> why does that sound familiar

You expect Armageddon will happen overnight?

I have no idea if we've hit the point of no return or not, but it's gotten exceedingly clear that we're already seeing the effects of climate change and that they are accelerating. Fires in California, the Amazon, Oregon, Washington. Record high temperatures in various places all over the world. Massive shifts in storm patters, etc.
Closed Source.
This is why having any random person vote does not work. They are ignorant of the subject matter, and can easily be manipulated. Hasn't it already been shown many times that the party with the more money spent on marketing wins?
Even a cargo-cultish understanding is an understanding and not tech illiterate. I wouldn't call someone who can build a pc tech illiterate.
HTTP over TCP to cache nodes.

Fire up the developer tools / network view and go watch a Netflix video; try pausing, etc. It is incredibly straightforward.
That's precisely the math that people are weighing. Live in comparative squalor in the bay or nyc in your cramped apartment with no grass and no light and little opportunity for change as time goes by and your family potentially grows, or move back home and live like an absolute king in a legitimate mansion with yards on all sides with a three car garage, basketball hoop, and a pool in that rich rich neighborhood with better schools than SF. It's like giving yourself a massive raise.
I'm the one behind pot, a framework to manage jails as containers. Here, there is the presentation on how to orchestrate jail using nomad, from Hashicorp:
https://archive.fosdem.org/2020/schedule/event/orchestrating...

pot is nothing more than a Proof of Concept, a model that uses FreeBSD technologies to implements a typical container workflow: jail, ZFS, pf, rctl and cpuset.

There is no compatibility to OCI standards, but I believe it would be possible to implement them.
Yes. I already know what I'm looking for. I posted a picture of it yesterday: https://imgur.com/yjPMYaX
