Had Docker not happened, and the Kubernetes team not gotten some new members that pushed for the Go rewrite from the original Java prototype, most likely we wouldn't be even talking about Go.
That's true, but what does this have to do with Reddit?
I'm genuinely curious what's the difference between public and nationalized health service?
Nationalized for me means that something is owned by state (and for me it is the same as public).

(You are right I forgot about second dozes, but I think that's a good thing considering manufacturers are not supplying us on schedule - and some stupid countries - like mine - use up all vaccines and hope that there will be a second doze in 6 weeks).

Thanks! I like the Speech framework idea. I've toyed with it a bit and the results not so great, especially offline, and the online one has some limits. I think if I want to properly add transcription I'll need to integrate with some SaaS solution, but I need to do a little more experimenting first.

Do you have any specific suggestions or critiques for the UI? I definitely agree it could be more attractive but I've had trouble figuring out what to do besides "make it look like Final Cut" or whatever. (or maybe I should actually do just that!)
I worked on this game when I was in High School and at the time we were just entering the first alpha release (amazing to see it grace HN!). Most of the team then and still today is comprised of part-time volunteers, students - people who are simply passionate about game development, art, history or some combination thereof. Many of the contributors actually were sourced from Age of Empires/Age of Mythology fans that wanted to build something that paid proper homage to the things they liked and overcame the things they didn't. Though my contributions are quite distant at this point, I can say that as this is our collective passion project they likely never intend to "release" the game because they're simply having too much fun making it. That would imply a finality that we can instead avoid by passing the project to the next generation of ambitious developers and artists as I once did to my successors. The game is actually quite stable now, supported on all three major OS's, and has a small but devoted modding community. Even though it's free, I've felt that the limited budget (exclusively donations) has always made marketing the game its biggest challenge to finding a broader audience. Hopefully landing at the top of HN will help! We just want people to enjoy the game - if you're an RTS fan, give it a shot!

Big shout out to any of the current or past contributors reading this post - you all deserve immense credit for your work over the decades: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/dat...
Perfect time to radicalize the underground (say by beginning to experiment with Gemini or other protocols), the mainstream as usual only knows how to follow
That would definitely be a misleading measure of this change’s success. Valuations have been rising steadily across VC, significantly so. I’m sure it would at YC regardless of this change as well. Founders will be speaking about how useful it is soon and we’ll most likely trust them. Hope they keep quality because it is awesome to have it be more inclusive!

Yeah, I suppose if you sprinkle in 5% art-house fare then I am okay. There are occasional surprises in the new wave, avant garde, independent films.

"1001 Films" does pull in a bit of the high-brow flicks. The harder to watch stuff from the "AFI Top 100" are some of the very early silent films (or over the top propaganda films like "Yankee Doodle Dandy").
Ask HN: What do you do as a CTO for a small to a medium-sized company?
The consultancy that I co-founded 12 years ago is shifting its business from time-and-material consulting to selling software and software services. We have no assigned CTO, but unofficially I have that role.
We are looking to make some roles more defined, the role of CTO is one of them.

I am wondering, what do you do as a CTO for a small or medium-sized company? How does a 'normal' day look, what kinds of decisions do you make, what kinds of activities do you do?

> There's literally no other negative to leave out the jack other than cost.

I believe there is. When designing a product, one always operates within a given set of contraints. Removing one of the constraints of the design makes it easier to hit the rest of the objectives. You might argue that easier design = reduced costs but IMO that would be too loose of a definition of "costs" in this case.

Consider the lower end of the market: budget phones have cheaper cameras, cheaper screens, cheaper processors - why? Because these are indeed good targets for cost cutting. They all have headphone jacks though. To me, that suggests that cost is not the issue here.
According to [1] 68% of websites still support TLS 1.0 as of 2019. Unfortunately, the pace of deprecation is slow.

> work with another CA to get your company an intermediate cert

I'm no expert, but wouldn't that make GP's company effectively a delegate CA? This seems like it would need a very close relationship with the original CA - and all just for a simple web interface.

> include ip addresses in the SAN.

Not sure if this may be different with intermediate certs, but you won't find any public CA that will add private IP addresses as a SAN - as this would undermine the whole security model. If any CA did this, Chrome would likely ban them quickly.

I'm sceptical a CA would let you do that with intermediate certs if there is any danger the leaf certs get into the wrong hands (e.g. because the devices are sold, someone reverse-engeneers one and manages to talk to the back-end service)

> Can someone explain to me how this is not cancel culture?

What I increasingly hear are definite assertions that there is no such thing as “cancel culture”, only people’s actions having consequences. Also, following naturally from this, anyone then using the term “cancel culture” is therefore also subject to said “consequences”.

That's the challenge, got to make the implementation so slick and solid that it can win over people who don't care! Some friends and I are working on a Matrix client and we want to put in some features we've always wanted in a chat system (count-down to events, sophisticated ordered spoiler tags, themes, alert words, mute levels, etc). Some exist in others, some don't, but I think there's lots room for improvement in the messaging space in addition to the (for me) non-negotiables of encryption and decentralization.
"Deprecate" means "to discourage use of", and it doesn't mean "to end support or to desupport". But it's the most misused word in tech that I've seen in the past 25 years.

So I'm not actually sure if this RFC is using it in the correct way, or the incorrect way.

> Intel said under its enhanced outsourcing plan, it would ask others—including Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. TSM -1.95% and Samsung Electronics Co. —to make crucial components of its chips. The move takes advantage of a design approach Intel and others have embraced: making semiconductors in a Lego-brick-like manner. Mr. Gelsinger said the company would, in some cases, outsource the core components of its central processors, the brain of a computer.
I've been rejected from YC several times. Now, I actually have a profitable company with real growth, and this time I've decided NOT to apply.

Because I don't need it. Unless you're in an industry which is fundamentally capital intensive, or you absolutely need to hire staff very early on, capital limitations are actually a good thing. My first startup (which failed) was funded, but now I find I make better decisions on a shoestring budget. You really are forced to be creative and cut the fat to make things work. It's also a natural inhibitor to growing too fast. I find my thinking is clearer when I know I cannot spend more than I earn.

True "networking" is done on the basis of trust, merit, and warmth of the intro, not on having more people in your batch to spam. This article gave the example of finding a contact at Apple to get something done. But the larger the batch size, the less warm the intro you can get/offer. Why should I provide an intro to a random other YC member whom I have no relationship with? At some point it becomes about as valuable as LinkedIn.

If I actually felt that getting into YC would help me grow faster or better, or I really needed access to capital, then I would do it. But so far I feel like it would just be a distraction.
Yes: encryption does not work in multi-hop SMTP email. Email is not a secure messaging system, and it is difficult to even build a novel secure messaging system on top of it.

Client-server TLS has a goal of actually thwarting adversaries. SMTP encryption is mostly about raising the costs of adversaries (I think there's plusses and minuses with this strategy; to some threshold, increasing costs for the US IC is actually helping them, organizationally, because the IC's real primary goal is budget-seeking).
I think that case [1] is largely based on bribery, a recognised form of honest services fraud [2] for which it’s not necessary to prove that the defendant ‘obtained money or property.’

But with companies you're not dealing with interest compounding, you're dealing with a company's growth prospects, which are largely unrelated to interest rates.
How much of this is due to the B117 variant in your country? I haven't looked at stats in poland but there is a counter-acting effect from that as the variant is outright more lethal and spreads more easily.

The joke with the Raspberry Pi is that it is 1) so cheap because its manufactured on an old silicon node but of course that implies 2) it actually uses a ton of power compared to a chip made in 7nm.

From what I could find the RPi chips are made in 27nm, and while you can't exactly linearly extrapolate from that, I wouldn't be surprised to find that a 7nm smartphone chip can get you the same performance as the RPi at 1/3rd the power consumption.

One of the basic jobs of a secure transport is to prevent MITM attacks. MITM attacks are the modal attack on TLS. It's not 1995 anymore. Nobody's using solsniff.c.
let me rephrase; science has limited itself to understanding the laws of Nature. It can never tell us how the world -and thus life- came to be. I admit your argument was a good one. But not the anti religious points. Essentially atheists has declared Nature as the true god. In the rules he has imposed, he has left us with no choice. Science has hardly managed to do away with god, it has merely managed to exchange him as it were.

I will also argue that atheism is a religion. There is nothing more exciting than being able to throw off the rules of one god by replacing him with another who asks for nothing.
Ask HN: Domain taken over temporarily during transfer?
I think I just encountered ephemeral DNS pirates or something.

Is it common?

Here is the story.

I was transferring a domain name from some registrar to AWS. The configurations etc. there were untouched for years (so it was always just "page doesn't exist"). So the request went out, now "waiting for confirmation, can take up to 10 days etc.". For some cosmic reason I decide to check the URL of that domain in the browser. To my astonishment it loads and it's some crazy half-swedish half-turkish (I think) SEO bot page with some JPGed-out pics of belly-button and a working boot.

There is an email address in the footer - abada@goodprizwomen.com (maybe not abada but similar sounding). I whois my domain - all DNS lookups, Nameservers look ok. I whois goodprizwomen.com - it is registered with Alibaba domain service. I contact the support of my registrar, that I am transferring the domain from, who after some 15 minutes admits that they have no idea how that has happened or who are those goodprizwomen.
My (now ex-) registrar expedites the transfer, it clears and everything looks good now.

So as I see this now - there are bots out there looking for domains with unlocked DNS, that they can take over for a couple minutes / days it takes for the transfer to clear. Ephemeral DNS pirates.

> "One could totally build a network with globally routed addresses, and not announce those addresses to the rest of the world."

Could, and people do; I've worked on networks where the original people must have misunderstood networking and did the equivalent of using 10.0.0.0/8, 11.0.0.0/8, 12.0.0.0/8 for internal networks, including public /8s they didn't own, so they lost access to one or two chunks of the internet - and it never seemed to cause all that many problems for them working this way (so no motivation to do a big involved risky rework-everything project). We added new private network subnets for new build things, but never swapped everything over. It'll phase out eventually I guess.
I use workers in deno to evaluate user facing code which may take a lot of time to finish and need sandboxing. Another place it's used in where I want to keep context and reuse it for subsequent code execution for each user.

In deno, you can restrict what the code inside worker can do by passing a map of allowed permissions. I have built a simple privilege system on top of this to allow users different access level.

This is cheaper and faster than spinning up container.
Engines rely on smart allocator and memory pool, they usually allocate everything beforehand. You're not running malloc between two frames. Imagine a game like Battlefield if you were to allocate memory for each fired bullet.
yup pretty accurate. also faster dev-mode building with vite/esbuild.

I think status has as much value as what someone is willing to give you for it. If the YC “Badge” is a currency that opens doors based on its perceived status, that feels like a helpful bonus to founders. I agree that if someone is in YC for status, that trait alone is likely not sufficient to help them create a successful company. However if someone is able to get a meeting with a VC because of their enrollment in the program (or a PM with a larger company to discuss a partnership, etc) that seems helpful and worth preserving.

That being said, it’s not clear to me that YC is lowering it’s acceptance rate. By accepting companies from all around the world, it’s pool of potential applications exponentially increases. If YC accepts 100 more companies from 10,000 more applicants that still feels like a pretty exclusive acceptance rate.

What could be going on is that people are comparing the batch sizes now to the batch sizes in the past and assuming the same rate of company applications. I’m not sure if YC publishes their application data, but without it I think it’s tough to say based on batch size alone whether or not YC is statistically becoming easier to get into.

If the definition of the nebulous concept of 'cancel culture' is so broad as to encompass disassociating ourselves from a person we consider heinous, and encouraging others to do the same, then I'm not sure there's any value in the concept to begin with. It's hard to argue that we should all limit how we use our freedom of association so that someone else may occupy a position that they are not entitled to.

There have been instances of 1000 year (millennium) bonds, such as Danish energy company Orsted in 2017, Canadian Pacific Corporation in 1883(!), etc.

100 year (century) bonds are a bit more common - Disney issued a century bond in 1993, for instance. Argentina (!) issued a century bond in 2017, which it defaulted on last year, leaving creditors with around 55 cents on the dollar.

In general, long term (implicitly high risk) bonds become attractive in low yield environments such as we had been in for a couple of years up until the absolutely humongous amount of stimulus triggered by the current pandemic.

No, it is a different sense of the term and has different value. That's not in any way a bad thing, nor does it detract from other relationships. It is purely additive.

Right, but using social media does not stop one from enjoying personal time. Why would it? Again, it is additive.

Nvidia GPU support on Linux is great. I meant the lack of the support on Mac. Apps that are lacking and I frequently use off the top of my head is just Teams tbh.

But, as we know, Mac has great app support. The same level of polish and availability would be great. Just to have the options whenever the need arises. Currently finding good webapps is the best alternative.
