Czech person here, I have to agree. During the soviet era my country, a pre-WWII (even post-WWII, as the Czech part of Czechoslovakia has only seen very light fighting) industrial powerhouse, was reduced to an underdeveloped dwarf. Thirty years later I'm living in a modern country, typing on a MacBook, receiving healthcare, paying my taxes with corruption only noticeable at the highest levels of the hierarchy (politicians, union leaders), certainly not throughout the country.

I believe this has to do with the proximity of other developed and modern countries, economically, but also culturally. To put it bluntly, nobody wants to do business with a bunch of cavemen.
You seem to be implying that you’re borrowing against the ISAs whereas the article claims you’re selling them.
There's atmosphere up there, so it creates drag which slows the stuff down and causes it to re-enter and burn up or crash onto the planet in only a few years. Compare that to higher orbit, where there's much less drag and space junk could last centuries or more before it deorbits.
I've built my fair share of Go microservices and have never felt the need to develop an entire framework like this.

We have everything like CI/CD, distributed tracing and one line project generation.

It's just based on some foundation code and some simple bash scripts to find and replace some service specific things.

And then it's just the basic routing and HTTP handlers to unmarshal and marshal responses.

When all your services are built off the same foundation then creating a new one is pretty much and copy and paste job in my experience.

It's a cool project but it seems like unnecessary complexity, something I strive to avoid.
i like these kind of projects.
It's not that you would translate them though. You don't have to know what "while" means in english to use it. You just learn that the arbitrary symbol "while" is how you repeat something as long as a condition holds. There's not really anything language-specific about that, except that "while" happens to be a word in English with a meaning which somewhat correlates with what the symbol does in the programming language.
This is a terrible precedent and never should have been rubber-stamped by the court. I hope this attracts enough attention to bubble up to the Supreme Court and the FBI gets slapped. The correct action, if any, would have been to get a court order allowing the offending sites to be disconnected from the Internet.

So happy that we now have the free CPU power to digitally add fake surface noises to synthesized music.
Compared to Prolog, which is sensitive to declaration/search order and can assert enough new facts to not terminate, the risk of inefficient but always correct queries is a marked improvement.

Why not allow the majority of YTers with a legit posting history to post videos as they wish? You wouldn't have to wait days or weeks for these folks, they are trustworthy already. The vast majority of channels I care about wouldn't need moderation, they're hobbyists like woodworkers, musicians, etc. with dozens of posts already.
It’s a limitation that applies to almost all Android users.
Madeoff's claim has always been that it was meant to be a temporary, short term thing and he believed he could get himself out of it before anyone else realized his fraud.
Low Earth orbit satellites drag in the fringes of the upper atmosphere a lot more, so their lifetime in space, unboosted, is typically only a few years. If your satellite dies, it's "self-cleaning."

That said, an impact at this level can still spew debris into higher orbits, as the chaos of the collision can impart enough energy to some collision ejecta to change their orbit significantly. So you still don't want things bumping into each other.
Netflix has the South Korean SF flick "Space Sweeper". Do read the serious article first. The film is for entertainment. Crossing Belter and cyberpunk aesthetics, mixing up human languages as you'd expect from the future, it's fun.

Time is the only asset we all mostly have in common. If your laws and the enforcement thereof are just (big if), then why shouldn't the punishment be exacted in a way that generally affects everyone equally?

Beyond that, prison is inhumane as a rough function of where you are. Maybe you're thinking of a particular prison system.

How does it fix anything? It should primarily be a deterrent, and secondarily a way to protect society from dangerous people.

Ditto on environment. I had found that getting out of my normal setting helped with this immensely for me. Going to a coffee shop had been working pretty well (not every time but most times), but covid killed that routine.

No thanks to a spreadsheet though. Lots of adhd advice around bullet journals too, but that worked as well as every other past attempt to keep a journal in my life.
It's not a matter of 'more' or 'less' rather than 'easier to deal with'.

LEO sats will probably produce more space junk by mass but junk in LEO will be gone in a few years, no matter how much or little of it their is.

On the other hand Geostationary satellites produce much less junk in terms of mass, but once it's up there it's not coming down for centuries.

Back before I progressed beyond DOS batchfiles, I kind of just assumed that all the commands and keywords would be localized to whatever the local language was - I didn't think, for example, that Japanese-speaking users were out there typing "echo" and "dir" and "printf". I found it surprising and seemingly unjust when I learned that folks that spoke other languages generally had to learn a fair bit of English along whatever programming language they were learning. I can't imagine how much harder it must be to pick something up when the mnemonics are foreign gibberish to you. Of course now I realize that there's an element of practicality to it as well; J. Random Hacker can hardly be expected to translate the API they created into N different languages that they don't speak themselves. It also cuts both ways; GitHub Trending is increasingly full of projects that look like they're probably awesome and extremely useful and I have no idea what they even are because the documentation is entirely in Chinese.

I know some early versions of BASIC would save your source in a "tokenized" format, i.e. instead of literally storing "PRINT $FOO" they would store some bytecode that represented PRINT instead. One could possibly implement a polyglot programming language using a similar mechanism, and translate localized versions of keywords into (human) language-independent bytecodes. You'd have to pick one human language to be the canonical representation though, or have some sort of language declaration at the beginning of the file, or commit to having the canonical representation of your source code not be plain text - all of which seem suboptimal for different reasons. It also seems like it would be tough to extend that approach to code outside the standard library of the theoretical polyglot language.
My understanding is that these restrictions were only imposed in December of last year (and are in force until at least 30 June), so I would tend to agree with the parent that they definitely changed directions.

For anyone else wondering "what the heck is invidious?", from their github[1]: "Invidious is an alternative front-end to YouTube." Cool!

But man, classic open source: the front page of those docs says nothing about what the heck the project is, just a list of URLs to visit, and the main website[2] is just an under-construction page with a link to the github repo.

A lot of people on HN have very simplistic views of industries. I sometimes wonder how they're not all billionaires. Everything is easy, simple, *just* this one thing. You'd imagine they're out there killing it.
I was always fascinated by how violently people felt toward Madoff. Madoff reminds me of a character in a Woody Allen movie. Martin Landau in Crimes and Misdemeanors.

In Dosteovsky, the perpetrator feels real guilt, confesses, and finds salvation in God. In Woody Allen, the perpetrator gets over his guilt and lives happily ever after, avoiding punishment. In Madoff's case, the perpetrator dies in prison and his family is destroyed.

Of the three, Madoff killed no one. In some sense I think he was a scapegoat for the 2008 financial crisis. That's not to say that he was innocent or that his crimes were insignificant. Only that, due to the timing, he became a convenient target for the public's understandable outrage over the financial crisis.
What the US most commonly jail's people for (drug offenses) is barbaric.

That said, the reason for jail is to not only rehabilitate but also to deter.

The problem we have is that white collar crimes almost never result in jail time for the rich. The financial deterrent is just ineffective at stopping bad behavior. They can run the risk/rewards calculations and often come up with the conclusion that "we'll make more money than we lose to a fine" and they proceed to do the bad behavior.

A good example of this is fireworks at disneyland. They pay fines for their daily displays and write it off as a cost of doing business. So what's the point of the fine? Weren't we trying to stop them from launching fireworks or was it just to extract money from a theme park?

Now imagine if the action for launching fireworks was the general manager of disneyland or their manager serving 2 days in jail. I can assure you, those fireworks would be stopped the next day.

That's the point. If the law is only a set of rules for the poor how can anyone be confident that it is going to work or be applied fairly? If you can buy your way out of compliance then what's the point?
"But, if you’re logged in the intranet of Awesome Corp., once you open my dangerous.com website I’ll know that you have access."

How? The subresource is a url to an internal server (https://intra.awesome-corp.com/avatars/john-doe.png)... sure it loads from my browser, but how does that tell that info to dangerous.com?
That's not the same as just "handing someone your private key."

It involves either buying or creating a tamper resistant device and a reputation for authenticity.

It's significantly more complicated.
I think this is a distraction from the real problem, which is that YouTube censors/demonetizes/deplatforms videos at all. The problem is very widespread, ranging from censorship of political content to firearm videos to COVID related content. Most recently YouTube banned a panel held by the Florida governor with medical experts from Stanford and Harvard (https://www.politico.com/states/florida/story/2021/04/12/des...).

This is a company in the business of shaping political opinion and manufacturing narratives, not providing a neutral platform. Unless that fundamental issue is addressed, symptoms (like bad AI flagging) will continue to persist.

Firearms and ammo are a necessity, but one person/small tribe can only defend against so many others. What you really need is a community (or bigger tribe) that will come to your aid, and the community will need to be able to trade between themselves and others, which is where gold comes in.
That's how the stock market works as well.
What about the president appointing children and in-laws to White House positions? Or worse, previous "business" associates that provably lack merit?

Edit: excuse my whataboutism. However, if this were a republican it wouldn't even be newsworthy at this point.
It's a tradeoff and depends on part on whether it's a business tool or a physical one (for you). If business, perhaps it's time to raise rates; if personal then you're probably not their target market. It also depends on the value of your time and how much of that you spend working around subscription models.
Interesting question.

I imagine someone has already thought of this from a tax point of view.

Maybe some % of their net worth divided by their age (working age?) - say if they have 100 million dollars and are 60. 60-18 = 42. We would fine X% of 2,380,952.38?
The idea being an attempt to come up with what their yearly salary could have been based on current value.

I am sure there are some excellent flaws with that approach as well.

Fun to ponder.

One is not an apologist for a repressive regime when one dispassionately analyzes the realpolitik of their circumstances. It's not a defense of the Ayatollahs to observe that, from the perspective of the Iranian gov't., the U.S. (among many others) has continuously been a hostile power since at least WW2, and it's silly to place expectations on them as a negotiating partner as if that weren't the case.

At the start ask people to raise their hands if they have something to say, or make explicit points within the presentation for others to speak. If you're presenting on, say, a technical topic and the presentation (if in prose form) would have multiple sections, stop after each section and ask if anyone has anything to ask. Give them a chance to ask their question, and then take over again.

"What about X?" "Oh, that's actually going to be discussed in a few minutes." "What about Y?" "That's a good question but beyond the scope of this presentation, we can talk about that at the end if you'd like." "What about Z?" "Well, with Z ..."

But the critical thing is you only give them a chance to ask a question, and make that the format. Don't open it up to random side thoughts because then they will take over, "Well, actually with Foobar 3.0..." You've lost control at that point. If it's going to turn into a conversation between you and the person and will derail the presentation, move it to the end of the presentation.
Madoff was arguably a victim of cancel culture before we had coined the term. Punished by woke capital for his whimsical approach to finance and investing. A titan cut down by his lessers.

AI is a great excuse for censorship. But many economic actors want censorship including the advertisers. So it seems more competition to Youtube is the only answer to censorship. But I don’t see any credible competition on the horizon to Youtube for a while.

One of my motivations for getting into programming was to be able to learn to have the computer take on much of the remembering. I tried various paper methods, but all of them required one thing I didn't have: the ability to remember to actually look at them for the information I put into them. When I got a computer capable of managing my calendar, tasks, grocery lists, etc, it was a dream because I only need to put something in and tell the computer to remind me. Andy Matuschak calls it "programmable attention" https://notes.andymatuschak.org/Programmable_attention
I'm responding to the parent, who states "earners" which means income, not wealth. I may agree that someone with 300k may lose 40% to taxes, then they spend 1/3 of what's remaining on expensive housing, another few hundred on student loans and a new car payment-- suffice to say, life can be very expensive for those in SV or SF or NYC.

But still, having 300k coming in pre-tax earnings puts you in the top 0.2% of earners globally, not 5%, which was the original point in question.

Why do I stress this point? Because we need to realize we're not just the top 5% here on this forum. Globally speaking, we range from well-off to EXTREMELY well off, and we should have the humility to post the proper stats about ourselves.

I grew up in Ostrava, close to the Polish border. Poland in the late 1980s and early 1990s was a fairly poor country. There were massive shortages of stuff in shops, a serious inflation (I remember looking at a 500,000 zloty banknote in a mixture of awe and dread) and a black market that was doing its best and worst to keep people supplied somehow.

Polish economic miracle is incredible. Warsaw looks like a Manhattan built on a steppe, and living standards of ordinary Polish citizens have gone through the roof in a single generation.
Hi HN! I decided to create Warrant because I've dealt with the pain of implementing some form of access control at every company I've worked at. It never gets less painful. While there are some really powerful open source libraries for implementing RBAC and other authorization schemes, they still require plenty of care and effort to maintain long term. I've also learned there's more to an effective access control solution than just being intuitive for engineers to work with. Warrant aims to solve these problems.

I'm currently allowing everyone to use Warrant for free as I'd like people to try it out on side projects and provide feedback on how I can make it easier to use. I'd appreciate feedback on anything and everything, and I hope you find it useful! Thank you
Miners still have to record the BTC they've added to the blockchain if am not mistaken.
If that works for you, all the better! There are quite a few things that Encore does beyond what you mentioned:

- Automatically sets up dedicated Preview Environments for your Pull Requests

- Provisions all the infrastructure you need, both for local development as well as in production (and other environments like staging or testing)

- Provides auto-completion and compile-time type safety for making cross-service API calls, with a single line of code

- Integrates secrets management, API documentation, frontend client generation, etc :)
I have had people getting almost violent arguingit is scrapping and not scraping. Especially from Asia and East Europe ( I have done 1000s of scraping projects over the past 20+ years, working with people all over the earth ).

It is fairly normal to have people on Fivver and Upwork tell you 'I can make the web scrapper for u' when discussing a project.
They are very disciplined and targeted in their authoritarianism. It doesn't pervade daily life the way it does in China. They have free and open communication with the world. They have a vibrant consumer economy and a genuine multicultural society. They apply censorship and repression with a scalpel, not a broadsword. Law-abiding citizens reap a lot of rewards from living in a society like that and are willing to look the other way at the occasional arrest for being outspoken.

I spent some time there and met a bunch of locals from different backgrounds. Some were outright enthusiastic about the authoritarian government and thought the ends justified the means. Some (Malay folks in particular) chafed at the enforced rigidity of the society, but they still had comfortable lives.

75% - opportunity cost - inflation.

If you plan your life around having $1 million in savings because that's what your statements from Madoff say, recovering 75% of the fraction you put in is pretty bad.
Thirded. Toastmasters has a great education program, and the groups are populated by supportive people, usually including both experienced speakers who are willing to share tips, and beginners who are willing to commiserate. Highly recommended.
There is certainly zero-sum speculation within the stock market, dwarfing that in Bitcoin, sure, but the S&P 500 also pays out half a trillion dollars in dividends a year, and buys back a similar amount of stock from the profits of the actual businesses being invested in through the stock market.

A trillion dollars a year funneling from business profits to investors is the difference between the S&P 500 and Bitcoin.

Looks quite interesting to me. The telemetry and tracing aspects are cool I think. That sort of thing is a 'must have' really but I find it is quite a pain to manage the tools for it yourself, especially on a small team.

You mentioned on another comment that you would like to introduce a pub/sub element to this. Could you talk a bit more about that? I can see how that work for communicating between services managed by Encore but could it be integrated with existing event sources?

In general, I guess it's hard to see how some of this would integrate with existing systems nicely. If you're starting from a blank slate I'm sure the devex is excellent, but what would the workflow be like if only a small percentage of my infrastructure was done this way? (Which is how I imagine all of your customers would start out).
