Ok, that's a good point. In fact the whole Editor is Markdown based but in the Landing Page - which is basically a marketing site - I assumed it won't add much by saying is Markdown (bc most of our target audience wouldn't know what that is anyway). Here in HN anyone knows what Markdown is. Were you able to give it a shot?

some waited, some didn't. I can't pretend to know why.

My personal guess/opinion is that those governments who's only objective was to get people isolated on exposure would at least have leaned towards the apple/google solution when it became available. Those who had ulterior motives (or had already rolled something out) would be less likely to wait for it.

One surprise for me here is Norway's initial implementation, which it later re-evaluated[1], you'll also see (at least at that point in time) that Bahrain and Kuwait did not. Bahrain even turned it in to a game show.

Edit: just to add, you'd see for example a place like Australia looking in to the solution once available, last paragraph here[2] - my opinion is that these countries do not feel threatened by their general populace, thus don't feel the need to turn everything in to a mass surveillance tool if they don't need to

I generally agree with your post (we both made the mistake of posting during EU peak times and not US peak times, so downvotes incoming), but it's worth noting that Airbus is a success story bolstered by the now-EU to combat American aerospace dominance.
(OP/Author here) In a way it is, but there's a resistor in a U shape between the two plates (so the open side of the U is our connection points, and there's a voltage gradient due to the resistor, which causes a charge/pH gradient in the electrolyte, which causes differential plating/stripping of Al on the resistor - altering the "connection point" as you run a charge through it.
> that a person with two Iranian parents is probably also Iranian.

It depends on the countries' respective laws, but it's certainly possible that the person in question is not Iranian at all in terms of nationality as opposed to ancestory. As I recall, the law in question pertains to Iranian nationals, not those who happen to have Iranian ancestory.
They just turned 2FA on for all accounts and that was the moment I found out that mine was pointing to the wrong email address. I wish they would allow you to sign something with your private SSH key to get an inactive account back.
That doesn't actually matter. Its a 'poor Google' argument, not an argument against breaking up a monopoly. The new divisions would have to figure out how to survive, like anybody else in the market. Definitely 'not our problem'
Intra-union competition is a thing as is the ability for the company to not sign a contract. What they often lose out on is the ability to retain the previous union employees and with it lose all their training, institutional knowledge etc.

A company does not have to sign a union contract but those losses are part of the leverage unions use to balance the power structure

Exactly. I'm customizing my copy for the audiences. For HN, anyone know what Markdown is and could be interesting to see a page builder using Markdown along with other custom integrations (e.g. web components). For my target audience it seemed confusing to add that is Markdown. Makes sense? I can definitely reconsider.

Europe Market Overview
How I learned to love and fear the Riemann Hypothesis
I love Airbus, but they're not a software company and since we live in the age of cloud-everything, software has eaten the world and all our mobile tech is controlled by two US walled gardens (apple and google) that is a lot more potentially impactful on our daily lives on multiple levels of our society than what Airbus could do.
There is plenty of solutions that are keeping the data in-house. Or allow for easy exporting/importing (github is not too bad in this regard though). None of these solutions go against the "highly specialized division of labor". This is a question about what kind of solutions we build, not how labor is divided or not.
Very affective explanation.
Yes, and amending by popular vote is the norm. What exactly is the issue here again?

(OP here) - the backplane is already a resistor, we're plating aluminum differentially along the resistive backplane to alter resistance depending on current flow. The resistor is X Ohms/cm.. when we plate out Aluminum near the negative terminal, that shorts a section of the resistor, lowering resistance there (making a "shorter" resistor). The aluminum is forced back and forth depending on current flow.
I thought that was neat too (and the video itself was awesome), however I do with that they had hidden the gif when the video begins playing. Most modern machines won't mind, but my older machine didn't like having to play a video whilst also render an animated gif in the background - it managed, but the CPU shot up considerably.
Wow, onboarding new hires here is going good, if they can access slack, O365, LDAP, VPN and clone the repo by the end of the first day. Tho we have the initiation ritual of installing the OS to your laptop.
You should research this more. Having even a possibility for voting to amend a law is not the normal. Usually proposition can't be overturned at all.
This is good advise. Maybe even self-host a backup server.
To me that sounds perfectly reasonable, and in fact a good policy. It seems like you lost access to your company account, based on your comment, so who is "we" that lost thousands of dollars worth of project code? If it was your employer that you had the email with, why couldn't you just restore the email?

What in your opinion should github do when an employee loses access to their company email, and 2FA, because they're fired? Should the employee gain access to all the code and the account by just contacting github via their personal email?
> mine and refine uranium for export

Refining uranium gives some pretty tangible benefits in the real world too. Seems fair.
> They are not responsible for the content of US export control law

But they are responsible for understanding what's required under those laws. If they're going beyond what's required to comply with the law, then those further actions are entirely on them.
> Following this logic we should then add standard libraries and the whole os into account.

I realise you're being snarky but systems and verification schemas like that do exist. The terms I most often associate with them is "high-assurance" or "critical supply chain" software. There's bound to be many others.

These requirements crop up in stuff like the firmware for ATM keypad. Or Google's source code (they vendor everything in their own trees). Or Vegas slot machines.

In an amusing twist, software supply chain assurance is such a massive problem that large security consultancies offer code escrow services. If you, as a software seller, can't guarantee that you'll be around 20 years down the line, the buyer can require you to submit your code to such a third-party service. Should you go out of business, the source code will remain accessible to the buyer for their future development needs.

I saw ruby on the github, what else is in the tech stack?
Yeah was waiting to see a Jmeter comment. Great tool that, when implemented as part of a larger tool stack, makes performance testing very doable.

And I think it's a pretty stupid simple tool compared to some of the DIY alternatives people are mentioning here.

If you do happen to max out the hosting server you can run Jmeter in a distributed fashion as well.
You sign up for an exchange send them your coins, sell it on market, then withdraw the money to your bank account.

The first part might take some time as they verify your details but the rest is absurdly fast.

I can send coins to a domestic exchange and have money back in my bank account within about 20 mins, that's at any time, any day of the week.

If you are convinced that 3rd parties can never be trusted even for such short periods of time there's p2p markets like Bisq where the keys/wallet never leaves your possession and it's a multisig transaction directly with someone else.
Except a company does not have to enter a contract with a union as well as the fact there are more right-to-work states than not. Extending your analogy, if there is no monopolistic suppression of competition, entering a contract with an ISP is not anti-competition. The contract is not the determining factor, the anti-competition is. Lack of competition shouldn’t be conflated with suppression of competition.

Unions don’t have to compete with other unions to still have competition. They have to compete with non-union workers. There are laws prohibiting strike lines from allowing non-union workers through, for example
I thought the same until I spent more time in Reno. The cost of living increased too much and the WIND is the worst thing about the area. Constant 40+ mph gusts.

I don't know much about Vegas, perhaps it's better.
That's likely part of it. Unwitnessed cardiac arrests and those where no electrical activity is present in the heart are pretty rare to get back.

Cold temperature and submersion in water are two neat caveats though. They can be viable a lot longer, in part due to the Diving reflex.

I think you have the causation backward. The poorer the country the less of a cut the government can take without bringing everything crashing down. These places are low tax because they cannot afford to be high tax.

If you look at local taxes and fees between US cities the same pattern emerges.
The central thesis of the article is supported mostly by the argument "Yeah, it is dude." Ignoring the weakness of the analogy, there is a reason science is "about models" and not about truth: We can measure and test models, and we cannot measure and test truth.

A theory that is more complex and fits the data worse is a less good theory because it is easier to get stuck in. If I have two new theories with this property, how do I choose between them? Imagining a situation where the less predictive theory is closer to the underlying reality does not change this - the fact that it is closer to the underlying reality is irrelevant until and unless we have measurements that allow us to distinguish those cases, at which point, we will have evidence for the (now) more predictive theory.

This article is actually arguing for a system that would result in more dogmatic acceptance and less critical testing.

If Github is going to block people for accessing from Iran, why don't they just block all Iranian ips? I'd totally blame Github for this.

> 2FA should be bypassable after some longish lockout period.

Nope. No backups, no sympathy, simple as that.

2FA is worthless if you start to put holes in it like that.

So if you value your data, make backups - preferably locally the old-fashioned way, e.g. HDDs stored in at least two different locations or at least using several different cloud providers (which have their own infrastructure and aren't just relying on AWS/GCP/Azure/etc.).

There's no such thing as a "trade-off" when it comes to cyber security - either commit to it fully or just don't use 2FA at all.

Personally, I think 2FA that doesn't rely on physical devices (phones, keys, smart cards, etc.) is unreliable and sketchy anyways.

If you can't spare a few hundred bucks on a NAS that you can just put in a storage unit or bank vault if need be, you data can't be that valuable anyway.
It makes a lot sense that OpenBSD removed a lot of code from LibreSSL after forking it. There is only limited time and one can not maintain everything. This incompatibility is inevitable.
Both you and the person you replied to are right. They are not mutually exclusive points.

Famous example: MS Windows having a marketshare of 96% should not necessarily stop you from designing your business around linux.
Yeah but this is not really the same. You spend money on advertising to build up your brand, your followers are your capital. Facebook took money for ads, that did indeed build up the follower capital, but then suddenly they didn't just stop accepting ads (which would have been fine), they destroyed the capital by removing their page.

At least that's how I understand what happened.

Ofc GH has to comply with US law, but you missed the question: does US law require blocking access to cover those who are not on the sanctions list?

Or look at it another way: this is an Indian company. Does one employee opening their laptop in Iran make it an Iranian company under US law?
It is. We established this quite clearly in Nuremberg.
Sure they are. Propose an EU or non-Chinese Asian alternative to AWS that is, say, 80% as efficient/effective. If that's not possible, then choosing AWS for your startup/scaling business is not the stupidest move you can make, assuming AWS fits your use case.

"MS Windows having a marketshare of 96% should not necessarily stop you from designing your business around linux"

But Windows doesn't have this kind of marketshare in most areas going forward? The #1 OS used worldwide is AndroidOS and no one is clamoring to write for it as far as I can tell.
They could have prevented the access they merely detected. Much less harm all round

sRGB gamma is often approximated to 2.2 [1], but the actual function has a linear section near 0, and a non-linear section with gamma of 2.4, possibly to avoid numerical difficulties near 0.

The document you cite claims that CRT gamma is typically between 2.35 and 2.55.

Human eye gamma can probably be approximated with cieLAB, that is designed to be a perceptually uniform colorspace, which seemingly has a gamma of 3 [2], although it also has a linear section, so maybe slightly lower overall gamma. ciaLAB is not state of the art though in perceptually uniform colorspaces.

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SRGB

[2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIELAB_color_space

What I don't like about this whole CRT/gamma topic:

1. It brings in perceptually uniform colorspaces to the discussion, while it's completely unnecessary. Perceptually uniform colorspaces are mostly unsuitable for arithmetic on colors like any other non-linear colorspace.

2. While the sRGB colorspace and a colorspace defined by a CRT monitor's transfer function are closer to perceptually uniform than a linear colorspace, they are still pretty damn far from it. sRGB still does a decent job to prevent banding in dark areas.

3. The sRGB colorspace is not identical to a colorspace defined by a CRT monitor's transfer function.

4. "gamma" is a crude approximation for transfer functions, assuming they follow a power function on all of their domain.

5. This whole thing about CRTs and gamma doesn't matter if you just want to understand that if you want to do arithmetic on color components, then you most probably want it represented in a linear colorspace (didn't even talk about it yet), and most color values you encounter is actually encoded in sRGB, so you want to convert that to linear first, then convert the result back, depending on what your output requires. This is the most widespread bug in computer color and you don't need the history of CRTs to do that, and in fact this has nothing to do with perceptually uniform colorspaces.
You can use many of the products from the companies in the list (i.e. SAP, Adobe or Oracle) without risking all your data in a Kafkaesque ploy of sorts.

If you keep everything your business is at Amazon you better be prepared to Amazon booting you.
May as well ask here, the ESRB rating at the bottom of the Obra Dinn page [1] highlights "intense violence". Is this accurate? I'm a big wimp about visceral violence, so I'd prefer to have some idea before paying up. If 1/4 of the crew got disemboweled or something, I'm probably out.

None of those solutions are as plug-and-play as hosted GitHub/GitLab, nor without maintenance costs. Those add up to quite a bit of money too, usually making hosted the more cost effective option. Although this can happen, the truth is 99% of the time it doesn't, so most companies continue to use hosted solutions as it is far more likely they go bankrupt due to poor business rather than US embargos.
Same here. I have a Google account I can reach via POP and wanted to log into (after a very long time).

They requested to send the confirmation code to a phone I do not have anymore. I replied the "security question" correctly. Then I had to provide the recovery email I once set up. Which I forgot.

So yes, I should have kept that up to date but it would not be difficult to prove I own the account (my usual google account pulls from that unavailable on for years) - it is just that there is nobody at Google to contact and have a look.

I will seriously look into fastmail or protonmail, despite being with Google for 14 years
