> Whatever your stance on cryptocurrencies are, what is of little dispute is the business opportunities they have created

I strongly dispute that claim.

After a decade of effort, tens of billions of dollars invested, and thousands of crypto startups, we still don't have a single successful business other than those selling crypto services. (To be fair, Brave looks like it might make a run for it. We'll have to wait and see.)

Pointing to the fact that some people arre making a lot of money does not validate a business model or a social good.

Even in the most vile and egregious scams, there are always some people making a lot of money.
The commissioner of the SEC doesn't find it all that ridiculous. She just commented on it yesterday actually.

I believe that scientific rationality and engineering are part of YC’s DNA. This thread seems to prove I’m partly wrong indeed.
Way more background than I expected for such a seemingly minor change.
So what I really want to know is: what happens at Cloudflare--which uses v8 to implement Cloudflare Workers in shared memory space--when this kind of stuff happens? (Their use is in some sense way more "out on a limb" than a web browser, where you would have to wait for someone to come to your likely-niche page rather than just push the attack to get run everywhere.)
They could get a few supercomputers and sneak in illegal content into blockchain then everyone having a copy of it would be risking jail.
As someone who’s family members worked in printed circuit boards that industry got offshored a long time ago for most stuff, with minimal fabrication in the US short of specific needs that require specific supply chain assurances. There’s a lot of pollutants and toxic chemicals/heavy metals and like other industries it was pitched as a way to reduce cost AND pollution.

It would be really nice to bring a lot of manufacturing back to this hemisphere, printed circuit boards included.

I’m not sure that the Biden infra plan Hes pitching really addresses that. The best attempt I have seen was the attempts toward the end of last year to get TSM to have an Arizona based plant (which I think is still progressing but I haven’t heard much in about a year)

Andy Jassy at AWS is a good counter to John Sculley at Apple if we are focusing on outliers and MBAs.
oh yea, that's pretty much it!
Thanks for mentioning the PDP-1 among other amazing cores! :)
US is not the only country in the world. There are many countries whose currency and government are much weaker to fight such an adoption.
Should have been done a long time ago. Literally every law enforcement investigation into organized crime requires blockchain analysis these days. I never met people who use crypto to buy actual day-to-day goods. Only hear about it from cybercrime and crypto-bro price gaugers.

I've been thinking about switching to Render recently, but there's one feature blocking me: the ability to deploy an existing docker image from a private registry [1]. As far as I can tell, you have to connect a repo to deploy a Render service.. and monorepos are not fully supported yet either.

Is your 2021 roadmap public, or is Canny your official roadmap? Really interested to see what's coming soon :)

Btw, I've been working at Canny for the past year and was pleasantly surprised to see your feedback site!
Any idea how Materialize compares to Apache Flink?
The license is not complex, but maybe the Wikipedia summary explanation of the license will help explain how it’s straightforward?

Being able to identify people via blockchain either requires them to remember some esoteric passphrase or an ID card with the identifier on it which...solves absolutely nothing.
I was hit with this last year while struggling for funds. Upon seeing the cancellation fee, I simply reported my credit card lost, changed the contact details on my adobe account, and then just left the account to rot. Adobe will never see another dime from me.
huge fan of k8s. drop what you're doing & use a cross-system object-storage/"apiserver" & control-loops to automate everything; embrace desired state management & thank me latter. but, Heroku &al have a lot of value left.

there's just not that many folk trying to tame deploys on k8s via gitops. flux2 is the rage, it's all over the alpha geek's efforts[1], but it's usually used by someone carefully authoring a fairly complex Helm file, then building out a significant Flux2 HelmRelease object (ex: [2]).

there's a bunch of other tools[3], & i'm frankly not familiar enough. but this idea of having a bunch of source that can deploy itself, simply, is still extremely rare even among the alpha-geek #gitops types. i'm sure some of these tools better match the simplicity of the Heroku model, corresponding branches to environments, which makes so so much sense, but so far i feel like such attempts are still basically unknown.

heroku's really simmered it down to something that made extremely natural sense. huge props to that. too too much of this effort had to go into creating buildpacks & supporting language environments very very carefully very actively, that ability to stealth-containerize an app & not even notice is so much of the special sauce that makes this a hard, hard & eternal problem (because langauges/envs keep changing). there's still a lot of ease of use to Heroku that's potentially will be underrated and/or lost by the oncoming generations. i have high respect for how operateable Heroku is.

Interestingly enough, this isn't a mess in the shell's own builtins. The [ ] expression syntax is provided by the program /usr/bin/[ which is (often) a symlink to /usr/bin/test. It's just a clever trick! [ is a program that evaluates it's argv as an an expression, less the trailing ], and then returns the result as an error code.

Actually re-reading your post you probably know that already! Nevermind then. Maybe someone reading this will be enlightened
Great point. SSPL is basically the open source equivalent of “we had to destroy the village in order to save it.” In order to protect their IP from being “taken away” because of their original licensing decision, they basically chose a new license that’s effectively no longer open source (although it is “source available”).

I respectfully disagree this time. This is neither "website formatting", nor "back-button breakage", i.e. generally not a presentation issue.

This is the Ubuntu website being deliberately annoying about their tracking choices in the hopes that you just click "Accept all" and be done with it.

And I really don't know why Ubuntu specifically needs tracking when you just want to read an article on their blog, and personally think it's worthy of discussion.
Ha, this happened to me and I circumvented this by switching my plan to a new plan which kicked off some trial grace period, at which point I cancelled my entire plan. No cancellation fee.

I appreciate the advice. While I’ve only been investing this way for about 11-12 years, back testing has been statistically valid to the early 2000s (limited by the availability of index funds for comparison). You’re right though, who knows if it’ll work in 30 years. There’s some evidence that it may based on trends in institutional investing. That enough uncertainty to avoid putting all my eggs in that basket.
Does that opt you in or out?
I think a chargeback would have been more appropriate.
The whole point of crypto is that you don't have to trust them. I swear the HN crowd is so dense it's like they're intentionally trolling.
I want to see a variation of Signal to add BlogPost like interface.

It could then use IPFS to host "Public Facing" posts. People could pin - or pay for pinning - their posts.

>Need to solve the light speed problem

it will come in due course. Most probably you can't do Alcubierre drive (or any other promising FTL) on a planet surface or near large gravitational bodies, and the energy source for it is also most probably not environmentally friendly, so you anyway need to be in space to do it. So we need to build up starting from what we have - for now we can explore Solar system, like colonize Mars, build large space stations, etc. with fission engines, and with fusion (or with nuclear Orion like) we can get a probe to Alpha Centauri at up to 0.1c. Unfortunately, if one excludes Musk, there has been no meaningful progress in the recent decades, and that is puzzling and very disconcerting - the drive to kind of collapse/implode our civilization into an extremely stable state of highly connected absolutely socially cohesive planetary scale ant-city seems to be winning over the civilization expansion drive which has almost died ( and i think that is one of the Great Filters, and it is very possible that we will also not make past it).

When a product that was previously Open Source changes to a non-open license, it's not uncommon for someone to pick up the last Open Source version and fork it, and release that for others to use and collaborate on. That's always going to be a good thing; that means people who care about Open Source licensing continue to have a version to use and collaborate on.
Declarative is awesome for bootstrapping an infrastructure from nothing, but once it’s running and people are depending on it, it actually matters a lot which operations are done to it, in what order, and with what dispersion in time. Doubly so if it’s stateful. In the real world we see either hints in the “declarative” config to tweak execution order, or procedural workflows expressed ad hoc as a sequence of goal states. I think the future of sysadmin will be more explicitly procedural. Services managing services through the normal building blocks of services: endpoints, workers, databases, etc.
When you sign up you agree to the fee being broken up in installments. I think they have spelled it out pretty clearly, actually one could consider it ‘free’ financing in a sense. While I don’t like what they have done I don’t see what the big deal is with it.
Natural feature tracking is cooler. I mean.... little black boxes are alright but just establishing that a bespoke 3D shape or hierarchy of shapes to orient your targeting looks less crappy and has a lot more interesting potential.

One time many many years ago I went to kinkos and printed giant fiducial squares like 48"x48" and wheat pasted them all over Austin, TX to do large at scale AR with markers. Just putting giant dongs on down town condos and stuff. Good times.
Well, I thought you are following the discussion here.
If you have a 7-10 split, generally you will want to pick up the one point (almost guaranteed) instead of trying for a trick shot that is almost a guaranteed gutter ball. So unless someone is down and needs to pick up the spare, or unless it is totally by accident, most 7-10 split conversion aren't attempted.
Well that depends - if the real estate market holds and they pay for all the appropriate upkeeps. What about the situation where real estate properties go down and it's difficult to find renters or pay for upkeep on the property. Also - rental real estate doesn't rise in the same way the single family homes do.

The landlord is the scourge narrative bugs me. There are for sure a bunch of terrible land lords especially the huge soulless companies but there are a lot of little family operations that don't try and gouge their tenants.
They don't do it because they literally do not have the resources anymore. That was the intent of cutting the budget and this is the desired result.

It is in fact an simple change to UMASK in /etc/login.defs. The default value is different between various Linux distributions and in fact Unix systems as a whole depending on the "pedigree". On the multiuser systems the default tends to be 022 (ie. 755 permission bits => read and execute to everyone), on "internet server" systems 033 (ie. execute to everyone, such that finger and http://foo.bar/~quux/ works) and 077 on workstation unix systems (ie. $HOME is completely private). And I have strong feeling that the whole story about "systems shared by family" is just PR spin as that setting is simply default in upstream Debian...
9 months from inception to first silicon is close to the speed of light, development and manufacturing-wise. I wish them good luck, as this is impacting several industries downstream.

FYI, this isn't always bulletproof. I got a new card number from my bank a couple years ago and was still charged for a subscription I had set up prior to that. I know the company involved wasn't doing anything shady because I run the company.

I emailed Stripe (my payment processor) to find out how my subscription had migrated to the new card and they said that the feature had been added some time back. So even if you get a new card number, don't be surprised if your subscriptions follow you around.

I agree it's a diversion of wealth from the workers to the management class.
There's zero reason to defend Stallman. There's zero reason to keep Stallman around. It's ridiculous that this is even a point of debate. A guy who wants to discuss how pedophilia isn't really that bad, has no place in our industry. The amount of support he's getting is disgusting and looks horrific on our industry. This isn't a grey area for most people.

[Edit] I'll add that the HN community in general has dealt very poorly with this. Outside of this site, people are rightfully disgusted. On HN there are people arguing the age of consent, talking about how it doesn't matter, making excuses... It's disgusting and we as an industry have to do better. The reaction here has actually made me sick to my stomach.

In addition to being morally abhorrent, it's logically stupid. Stallman has nothing to add to FOSS. He can only take away from its goals.
The potential with arms and other humanoid robotics is to be able to plug them into existing processes without having to make massive structural changes. Robot arms in car factories look like an evolution from a human production line, rather than a completely redesigned production line (or a mashup of the two). Still, redesigning the production around the robot still makes good sense: consider a dishwashing android vs a regular dishwashing machine. We have had dishwasher tech for a long time but we are still very far from a dishwashing android. It's just that maybe that humanoid robot could also hang up the laundry, look after the kids, drive you to the supermarket etc. There is so much room to grow in the "hard automation" space, where scale makes having specialized machines doable - as opposed to a household having to buy a dishwasher, washing machine, roomba, etc.
The Quest2 packs a ton of power into a very comfortable headset. While not designed for passthrough, its still quite functional.

Yes, this is my point. You are the people who want to believe that all it takes to be comfortable in life is to “follow some basic rules.” Putting aside that the circumstances of your birth are already a huge matter of luck, I’ll point to the entire US working class and unemployed college graduates as evidence to the contrary.

At some point those of us who have grown up in this economy stopped believing in fairy tales and bootstraps. There were a million points from my upbringing to now that could have diverted me from the middle class, so I’m not looking down on my underemployed peers as inferior beings for their struggles.
There are so many simpler attacks against human-driven cars that could be pulled off even easier today, and yet, they're not pulled off.

Yeah it is bonkers! Not just at first glance. The fact that the SQL integration for the child object behaves differently based on the kind of collection used in the parent is exactly the kind of unintuitive behaviour that drove me nuts.

There are so many rules to remember for something that is supposed to make SQL integration natural.
All they'd really have to do is announce that they were going to build enough computing power to initiate a 51 percent attack on bitcoin. I imagine the NSA is already there but it would be a nice cash injection for Intel or whatever.

Bitcoin has a very, very short history of being a decent store of value and the US Government publicly saying they plan to break it would collapse the entire scheme.
Ubuntu should develop shadow accounts - the user will log in to a completely different account of the same login depending on password. That is if someone forces you to log in you could use different password and pretend it is your stuff.
I was more thinking along the lines of what’s this PayPal deposit to “furry art 4 u” (not my thing btw) or “Free Ross Ulbrict” with the mortgage advisor rather than anything requiring block chain analysis.

How would anyone at work know your block chain wallet hash? It’s a cryptographically generated hash not linked to any personal ID. People can see that money is moving around to different address and if law enforcement or mortgage advisor requested the exchange account details they could see you deposited this money in this address and then it moved to this address etc, but it’s not trivial to identify who owns any of those address once it’s left the exchange wallet.

If I was dealing with work people and trying to isolate them from other transactions, I’d just generate a separate wallet address for them which is trivial.
And just let the market decide? Crazy!
not just limited to embedded environments, some docker images used in cloud setups also don't have bash - alpine doesn't have it. The alpine image is used a lot, due to its small size; you can add bash easily, but bash is not part of the base image (there is a difference if you are in an ssh session to a container that doesn't have access to the net)

docker run --rm -it alpine

What's next, Adobe? Are you sending people to collections if they don't pay up?

This scummy behavior is not OK.
Interest, capital expenditures, maintenance, insurance, potential lawsuits (hopefully not), time spent managing the properties. Don't disagree with you - it pays off the principal also goes towards other things. For some people not owning, having to take care of a property or put significant amounts of capital into a property is an asset. Not everyone for sure, but some people. For example myself until my late 30s was a happy renter - would I prefer the money going elsewhere? Yes. Would I have been able to afford the same lifestyle in the city? Absolutely not.

Another post on this that just says that the other claims are spurious without actually addressing them, equates Stallman and the entire FOSS community, and then says "there is room for difference of opinion".

Of course there is, but that room stops when you are in a leadership position at an unwillingness to protect members of the community of from predators. It makes him unsuitable for the role.

These posts keep saying there is nothing to it, so here is the bit that convinced me there is:

His comments (from https://web.archive.org/web/20210325013844/https://stallman.... ):

> Due to the vagueness of the term "sexual assault" together with the dishonest law that labels sex with adolescents as "rape" even if they are willing, we cannot tell from this article what sort of acts Maraj was found to have committed. So we can't begin to judge whether those acts were wrong.

> I see at least three possibilities. Perhaps those acts really constituted rape — it is a possibility. Or perhaps the two had sex willingly, but her parents freaked out and demanded prosecution. Or, intermediate between those two, perhaps he pressured her into having sex, or got her drunk.

This is discussing a specific case of statutory rape. He seems to take the position that children should be able consent to sex with adults, which fundamentally makes contributors less safe, and in my opinion is worthy of removing him from positions of leadership.

It is fundamentally dangerous to offer abusers the opportunity to claim it was all willing, which is why the law makes it always rape. If you choose to break that law, that's on you and you deserve to be treated as an abuser.

This position of regarding the ability to sleep with under-aged people as more important than defending under-aged people from abusers is one incompatible with keeping a community safe, in my opinion.
You're free to go build your own cloud and sell it for cheaper. I'll wait.
