Mirrors. Remember when you were asked to pick a mirror? And they'd invariably use plain http. And CDNs are still common, whereas the hash sum comes from the https main site.

At least that was the original point. These days you usually just host stuff yourself (on your domain or someone you pay, like a paid CDN) rather than having people mirror stuff independently. And it's all https, so it's mostly moot like you say, but old habits seem to die hard though it's already far less common than in the past.

Whenever you still see one, look at where the download really comes from. Often it's third party whereas the hash is first party. If not, then it's probably just a page with old habits.

It's really scary reading those quotes, I will definitely have a look at the book.
The practice of checkums/hashes with files really stems back to FTP and even less reliable transfer mechanisms would randomly corrupt your data. They also let you use a less trustworthy source, while you get just the hashes from a slow but more trustworthy source.

In Bitcoin's case what is actually provided is a PGP signature. The relevant key isn't provided along with the download files for the reason you mention. Though there are instructions on obtaining and validating the key on the download site. ... and if you're depending on reading those instructions' they're vulnerable to substitution.

Herd immunity implies local eradication.

The whole idea is that with herd immunity there’s enough immunity that the virus is unlikely to circulate in even the unvaccinated, even if the population might be exposed by an external carrier and a small number of the members of the population get infected.
Correct. But there is the visual impression that they are all checked by default. I could see a less savvy user clicking on them and them selecting "ok to selected" thinking "well, I deselected the rest of them", due to the difference in background between necessary and the other three buttons when selected. Maybe "nasty" was a bit hyperbolic, I will admit, but it has the potential to be confusing.

I think they mostly do this so SSO customers do not accidentally enter their company password on the site every time.
I don't know about any special rules for marriage licenses, but for inks there's DIN/ISO 12757-2. Search for "Dokumentenechtheit". It's not that exotic, though.

It gets a bit weird for printers. Laser and dot-matrix printers generally are okay, but you need a certified ink jet. Problem is that by the time they're certified, they might not be available. And then you only get the certification on proper paper, with the default inks, so don't cheap out on your old HP...

As this is a ISO norm, too, I don't think this is something peculiar to Germany, after all, document storage isn't just a teutonic issue.

Ask HN: How to marketing a generic SaaS for “office” use
Hi HN,

I made the mistake to build a small SaaS application without a clear target in mind.

Honestly I was just bored and needed something to focus on.

The application https://docutemplate.com let people creates PDFs starting from Google Docs templates and substituting variables.

Nothing fancy nor complicate.

Now the app is ready, but I got no idea how to drive traffic to it.

Any suggestions?
Not the parent poster, but Windows 10 is turning into a managed consumer cloud endpoint, rather than remain a power user/prosumer-friendly personal computing platform with privacy in mind.

> For one, large government software projects are almost always disastrous, even in developed countries.

The same tends to be true for large corporate software projects.

As a fairly recent example: https://www.theregister.com/2019/04/23/hertz_accenture_lawsu...
You could spawn the trend that leads to the article "Why are there so many Canadians in France?"
And what causes that shrinking customer base? Apparently there is some kind of replacement, which is brought about by ... change.

Whether we are addicted to change or not, might be another question though.
>Danes can buy US government bonds quite easily

Then they are exposed to exchange rate movements.
I disagree. There are more and more services providing logistics, delivery, payments, etc. And they are quite reliable. Just 2 years ago I was entirely relying on Amazon as a good ecommerce. As of 2020/2021, to be honest, there is nearly no difference with some individual retailers (which don't use a 3rd party platform to sell their goods like Amazon or Ebay). Lots of websites have improved, logistics, delivery, customer service, payments, ..etc etc. They key, in my opinion, was the logistics + delivery. That's what Amazon was exceptionally good at. Now that the infrastructure is nearly the same for everyone, why would you share your profits with Amazon and risk to be out of the business in 1-2 years?
The difference is the list of running background services. Kernel and drivers are the same, libraries are the same, but server doesn't have (ex) the AllJoyn Router Service for Smart Things Control, the 4G LTE Push Notifications Service, the WAP Push Message Service, the Fax Service, Windows Image Acquisition, and so on. Candy Crush doesn't run on startup, these do.
That seems reasonable to me. For especially paranoid people (like some of the HN crowd), you could design a "safe" computer within a computer that takes all the performance hits from in-order cache-less designs and has two very controlled communication channels with the rest of the system: one for bidirectional data transfers to the main CPU and an unidirectional one to stream (software-rendered?) framebuffer data to the GPU.

I highly doubt that the market is big enough to make such a product viable.
Well, for one thing.. then I'm a publisher, not a journalist. Running a business does not appeal to me in the slightest.

Secondly, most of the problems facing publications are market forces that aren't going to go away just because the person at the helm does care about quality.

There are publications that succeed by the skin of their teeth. LWN for example. But that's a pretty rare, niche example that would be very difficult to replicate.
We would need to look at this overtime. As someone said this is actually equaivent to a 14% price increase. How often does the happen? It might be kind of awkward if they took a fraction of a sheet out each year, and consumers respond to price increases. So they do this every decade with a combination of increasing the size and price you get the extra large size.
And of course an increase of price of cherry picked products doesn't mean we are headed for huge hyper inflation. Is this happening for the same reason the price of lumber is increasing?
Most examples of inflation people give can be explained by people expecting a collapse in demand when covid hit, but demand actually increased.
Fwiw, every time Chrome claims to fix a security problem their own way, somebody finds an exploit in it later.

surprised you'd call that a dark pattern - it's one the best cookie popups i've seen. it had four clearly labelled boxes, the one you needed was checked, the optional ones were unchecked by default, and all four boxes were presented up front, not checked by default and hidden behind a "see advanced options" link. there was also a large and clear button to say "ok to necessary" that changed to "ok to selected" when i clicked to allow functional cookies, and at no point tried to trick me into clicking "ok to all" instead. in fact the only nudge towards selecting "ok to all" was the fact that it was a dark bold blue and "ok to necessary" was a washed out grey.

As an Australian I will often use en-GB due to decades of Microsoft trying to force American spelling on us.
Car companies whose name is not Tesla have generally been pretty realistic in my experience because they're pretty much fine with continuing down the path of improving assistive systems (and incrementally developing EVs). They're fine with not having FSD so long as others don't.

With the somewhat exception of Waymo (which I don't really understand although it's probably related to internal incentives) the companies making the more outrageous claims are mostly companies who see FSD as a secret sauce that's essential to their business.
As pointed out in the linked article, the stats conflate unwelcome/unrequested notification prompts (e.g. Reddit, which pops up the prompt the first time you open the website (or used to anyway)) and cases where the user explicitly requests/opts in to notifications. I feel like the latter is something that proper web apps that don't utilize dark patterns could make very good use of. Consider the 85% acceptance rate for the camera/microphone prompt; few websites request camera/microphone permissions in the same intrusive way as they request notification permissions, hence it's not declined as often.

I downvoted you because you are deviating the conversation. I find it hard not to attribute hidden intentions behind what you posted.

The parent comment quoted saying they were loading their ads before ads from competitor networks.

Noone said anything about when the content was loaded. Google is the largest ad peddler.

You are obviously trying to shift the conversation away from how Google controls AMP and apparently used it to gain an advantage in the ad market (basically an antitrust issue) towards a generic conversation of ads are bad, but Google is good.

The parent was complaing about corporations being large enough to ignore antitrust legislation.
I was going to say that a minor incident must be one where the validators actually gain 30 cents worth of rewards, but actually if validators could profit from degrading the network, then that would be more serious.
Yes, whenever I get confused I recall that var is obviously variable so therefore the other one must be val.
That's really about the relationship with the user and timing of the request. The best practice is to ask user for a favour right after something good happens and they get value from your app as they will be glad that this app exists. You first give something to the user and ask the user to give you something back later, like "If you like the app please give us a review, it helps a lot" request. It's not a coincidence that all the successful YouTubers ask for a like and subscription if you like the video.

Interrupting a user action on the other hand, asking for a review over and over again are extremely annoying and can easily backfire. For the official review UI, Apple enforces "2 times per year per user per app" restrictions but if you annoy the user enough through your self made review request dialogs, they can get angry enough to find their way into your App Store page and give you 1 star review.

Forcing the user do something, trying to coerce them into a 5 star review in order to use the app backfires easily.
And if you don't have an adblocker installed, the first 5 results will be adds which will get you to the home page, not the login page. At least in this case you make them pay for it.
Not just technology either, the two languages for the Indian Parliament are Hindi and English - a relic of colonialism as well (and in a country with 20 odd languages, multiple scripts and hundreds of dialects a lingua franca is required to get anything done without translators on both sides).

The academics are still arguing over whether English is a world language or not but it is the defacto world language and I don't know of another language that can make that claim.

Curiously it's the most widely spoken language while been only the third most spoken native language.

A result of two centuries of the British Empire followed by a century of US dominance in media/business.

The only language that gets close is Mandarin but the split of native to non-native is pretty much inverted between English and Mandarin.
That hasn't happened. That paper describes the potential for backdoored microcode, not any existing vulnerabilities that can be triggered from an unprivileged state.

If your affirmation is true, why many of HN users (me included) get [dupe] at first place? In general, Is not the HN intention to decrease number of duplicates? If not so then HN should provide a solution for prevent this, such prevention that is not happening today. Example search input.

Sorry but I'm seeing big contradictions in the so called rules.

Just one example:

> If a story has not had significant attention in the last year or so, a small number of reposts is ok. Otherwise we bury reposts as duplicates.

> "in the last year or so"

Not in the same month or even after some hours later.

> "a small number of reposts is ok"

Well, HN what to prevent duplications or not ?

> Dupes are not against the rules. You're likely getting downvoted by people aware of that.

With that premise in mind, let's continue making duplicate content. right?

So don't misunderstand me, since my intention here is just to put in evidence the same recurrent problem to improve HN. For instance I have also faced the same problem in the past so there is nothing agains rules or things like that, but instead is more a improvement for HN.

The reason because I'm interested on this is because I feel part of the community and this is a concern for me (I suppose for others too). Otherwise I could take the easy and dirty way to just say nothing and ignore the problem.
They already do.

And anyone selling through any platform where they've all data let it be supermarket chain or e-commerce platform, should understand the risk that their data can be used to compete with them if you realize risk is not worth pay off, prefer selling on own website - it's not hard these days.

So the state for all addresses ever used fits in those couple gigabytes? Plus of course full state for a few days for longest-chain purposes, like you wrote.

I thought the majority of the hundreds of gigabytes consisted of dormant and throwaway addresses that still have some value on them, but it sounds like I've got the wrong impression and by removing transaction history for empty addresses and other historic block data, it's only a few gigabytes?

This was a theory of Hernando De Soto in the 90's. He produced quite a bit of research / statistics on the subject, doing surveys over 100 countries. If you want to read about him, there is this article [1]

I remember watching a documentary where they reproduced his experiment. Essentially, send a team of students in each country on a mission : create a company. I've done it in the UK, it's one day and 70 pounds. In the documentary they showed the complexities for just the administrative act of "creating a company" in (I believe) Argentina. It took them 3 months.

Ah. Honestly, I'd schedule and work on easing into things.

One of the things some folks teach with meditation is to manage time. Did you manage to sit for 5 minutes? If so, score, you did it. Also, many opt to introduce things slowly - so even if it going easily that day, once the timer goes off, you are done. That's it, that's all the time you get that day. It is similar with exercise: Ease into it so you don't hurt yourself. Perhaps this sort of attitude would help you with some of the more intense things - so, instead of putting 110% into two weeks, you are putting 110% into during the limited time you have for that activity and trying to set yourself up for better results long-term. It'll seem hard at first.
