The article is quite close to my experiences from inside of such companies. I don't understand, though, why author says so firmy "stay away from on premise, it will be your demise".

Yes, it may mean you will become a custom IT shop, but doing the same service "in cloud" may have the very same requirements as on-prem. You may end up with doing the same effort of rewriting a lot of your infra because someone on the client side has and excel saying "AWS nono, Azure yesyes". Or "backups has to be on client side", even if it is and extremely dumb move, you will end up setting up some weird file interface for the client to download those while knowing he has no environment to restore it.

I think dealing with large enterprise is more like "take our saas as is", or "we'll adjust to everything". It doesn't need to be tied to on-prem.
I don't think js was ever all that bad, little ambitious however. But modern JS now checks off nearly all my boxes.

I don't recall seeing USB (granted, this was my limited view as a teenager at the time) until the late 90's and I don't think I had a PC with USB until at least 2000 or 2001.

My girlfriend at the time started college in Fall 1999 and got a new laptop. She later got a CD burner and I remember it hooked up via serial port.

It definitely took a few years to see it become common. Mac may have been the first to really push it, but that would have been late-90's as well, post-Jobs' return.
> Does Solana have the ability to roll back the chain or remove specific pieces of information from it?

Well potentially if enough validators forked the chain before the material was added and were able to build a longer chain than the one with the classified material, but even then it would be pointless as the previous chain still exists and will have been distributed to every node.

The question is, why would they want to remove it? Solana is a global blockchain, not a US government entity. If they were to abide by US government requests, it would be only fair to also abide by the requests of other governments - but what if North Korea wanted information removed? As you said, where do we draw the line over what is a "valid" request?

And more importantly, who draws the line? There is no single Solana entity, it is a group of validators who would decide this. Achieving consensus on something like this would never happen, especially among a group of people who are trying to be resistant to government censorship.
I swear I read a comment exactly like this on Reddit, Digg, and Slashdot before they lost that quality.
This is a very insightful post. I had family which suffered from both the fascists and the communists and even royalists to a degree.
Where I am sceptical about the German "did not know" is, all these soldiers who went on invasions, they had families and surely some reported about the matters.
In the east European countries and the south, soldiers did report home and speak to families.
This includes the operators of the death camps, which might have been told to keep quiet, but the boots on ground soldiers surely were more communicative. I could be wrong.

War is a horrible thing, not sure how to prevent it or what post war measurements other than education and relative wealth can prevent it.
It is even more sad if one considers how Hitler came to be, all the way from what basically was family feuds leading to WW1 etc.

Germany simply had the manpower, engineering and resources to do it, it could have been some other country as well.

Actually I think that a lot of newsletters of professionals i am interested in are worthy and these are edge cases. I will be more worried not seeing these because they were filtered out by some plugin. I would say that if a site has a harassing newsletter then the whole site is probably not worth my time.
Oh man do I feel this. I used to report to the director, just one step below the VP. Zero issues. Everything went smoothly. My team is very independent and we interacted with the guy like once a month, he’d just ask about one particular issue and move on.

Everyone is retiring here and they want to prepare new blood, that means unnecessary middle management. Everyone has them, but I was lucky. Until 2020.

This new guy wants to meet once a week. Got us all in the office FIRST, while everyone else was still WFH. I do need to be onsite for a few things, but I live 3 miles from work and being on call had been working great, but you think he was listening? Now I just spend my time sitting at the office when I could be letting my dog out with the same productivity.

Additionally he has no power of making any decisions that matter, so talking to him is useless. He doesn’t have the courage to transmit messages to other teams that could be a problem for someone else, so we are basically gagged. And whenever something happens he will defend himself, not us, so we are pretty much abandoned. The decline in quality of my position went from an easy 90 to a 10 in a matter of months.

In other words, my happy job turned into me looking for a job.
I hope you think on this. On principle I think it’s wrong, but personally I care far more about any sort of discussion in general. I want some sort of link to a [higher quality] discussion or potential of one. I enjoy HN comments and the community. Trusted above others like Ars comments.
I'd say @Cthulhu_ is giving the real reason we'd tell our friends in the pub, rather than the bullshit justifications we give our managers.

Great news, I've been looking forward to this for quite some time!

So far I have only noticed one pitfall (which could be a big one) on the path from Buster (current stable) to Bullseye: pam_tally2 is no longer included as of a couple of months ago.

So if you have it enabled and upgrade, you risk locking yourself out of the system completely as all authentication will fail. The solution is to take the system offline and remove all incantations of it.

The upgrade script will ask you and attempt to remove it for you, but it does not always succeed in doing so.

Other than that, bullseye has been really stable for a long time already.

Yes. This is also why pricing in externalities is so important in capitalist economies: otherwise honest players in the market can't compete and only the worst companies survive.
That's not a counterpoint.

We're talking about the US here. Most 18 year olds do not have the ability to acquire their own healthcare AND afford their own housing.

Even aside from that, when a young person starts a family for the first time, they often lean on their parents for advice because this is life experience they don't have and there are plenty of issues that someone without that experience would not anticipate.

OpenCV takes a few megabyte of storage. Opening a few images for pixel access, meaning you have an uncompressed copy in memory, can quickly bring any system down. Same problem with Matlab.

Not really sure, but there are probably precompiled modules of OpenCV for popular distros.

Most students benefit from getting admitted to prestigious institutions, even when they are unprepared. Because education is not about persistent, transferable learning, it's a signalling game where you can learn some skills on the side, and the hardest part of the game is the admission. It's really hard to not get your creds if you're just decent, and there are a loot of decent students.
My guess is, that in the future, we'll have computers writing some highly optimized software for certain things. I'm not saying all of use software people will be replaced 100% but some stuff will be replaced by automation.

That's my prediction.
You explain what the website does not but so much what problem is being solved. I use alternativeto a lot, and never had an issue finding what I need. I usually type the name of an app related to what I need and browse the alternatives. Usually I'd also select a few filters, for example the operating system or open source.

At not point did I think "I can't do x or y, and if only there was a similarity index or robots I could". So you might have more features than alternativeto but why would anyone need them is the part that's missing.
If I want to sign-up to a newsletter from a company I will usually find it either manually, or I subscribe to their RSS feed. In almost every case I visit a website, I do not want to subscribe to a newsletter. Therefore, it distracts from my goal. To draw a parallel: in almost every case I start up an Android application, I do not want to rate the Android application. I don't want to spend any time on either of such nonsense. In fact, from today on, I will rate applications on Android which ask me to rate them a bad rating just because I'm done with that spam. As for newsletters, if I want them, I will find them. Take for example Bruce Schneier's blog. You can find the newsletter without getting spammed about it. That's the correct way.

Technology alone is not enough. As long as cutting corners on environmental responsibility and outsourcing pollution and waste to poorer countries is cheaper, then that's what businesses will continue to do in the west.

Just recently a huge shipment of e-waste from Germany labeled as "for recycling" was seized at the Romanian border as it was in no way recyclable and would have just been landfilled here.

From the German perspective it's mission accomplished as they can lable this trash as recycled and tick more boxes on environmental responsibility, while the truth is they just outsourced their trash to some unscrupulous business from a poor and corrupt country and can feign ignorance when being questioned by the press about knowing the truth, same as how sports-wear companies pretend to be shocked that their manufacturing partners use child labour in Asian sweatshops.

The solution is political, but fat chance getting western corporations and consumers to pay more for environmental responsibility.

Wait, do you really think president Moon of S. Korea is ethno-nationalist of all things? You have no idea what you're talking about - he's just your run-of-the-mill liberal.

You really need to be careful generalizing the whole Asia region to fit your narrative. S. Korea was already a bit culturally ethno-nationalist not because of reasons like 'racism' or something like Western populist politics, but because of the more complex history of being colonized and almost assimilated by Japan. And diplomatically S. Korea's has always been pro-US for pragmatic reasons (military protection) and would probably stay that way for some time. (That doesn't mean there isn't any anti-US sentiment among citizens, it's just that it hasn't been materialized into anything significant in actual global relations.)
I realized what I wrote and edited before you could finish your reply. Indeed, they're all organic, I meant to say the difference between vegan and non-vegan.
Either way, wasn't aware about the junk oil they sometimes use. Interesting.
The supplement I'm currently using (Minami veganDHA) only contains only DHA which you said isn't enough and would need to be suplemented with EPA.
The world of supplements is so complicated with a lot of FUD out there. For some reason it's difficult for me to find an authority on supplements that gives a nuanced and explanatory view on things and isn't just pushing affiliate links.
So, thanks for the insightful response, super helpful!

I'm sure it's an interesting article and a fine publication, but I'm not signing up. I have more than enough to read, things that I know are of direct value to me ... I'm not going to sign up so I can read something "on spec".

This is a dilemma I grapple with regularly. People need to be paid for the things of value they produce, but it's hard to me to find things that are valuable, and then pay for them. I do subscribe to things, and I make regular contributions to a few people and organisations, but it creates an echo chamber.

This is a hard problem to solve ... I wish I could see a way to make things better.

> They're not doing enforcement out of nowhere because everyone knows that everyone is doing it, and it'd lead to the league enforcing against all teams simultaneously, which ultimately would be bad for the league itself to have at the very least none of it's star pitchers for some time period.

Why? All you have to do is apply the rules at the end of a season, so that it applies to everyone equally. You can mention they are going to be enforced beforehand. If it applies at the start of a new season, it is fair for everyone. Nobody got an unfair advantage. And if you inform those involved beforehand, everyone can prepare in whatever way is necessary. Soccer rules get updated like this all the time. For example, it would not surprise me if rules are going to be updated after Eriksen's accident (with regards to continuing playing the match), but such would not apply during the European Championship. You wouldn't do same with say VAR either.
To be fair, it is very possible to not currently monetize or lead capture along with little to no intention for that in the future. You just want to build an audience for the sake of it.

Of course when that power of a solid audience is actually there, then the more profit seeking intentions may come in.

Still, there’s no way to tell what path the person will go down. I don’t think assuming bad faith in your last paragraph is needed.

A trope on HN is acting holier than thou or rationalizing own behavior. IE piracy of media or ad blocking scorched earth style without true principled reason like malware or tracking.

The biggest I have found is the person likely doesn’t make their paycheck now or in the recent past from super principled pious-like work. Or they did make their money that way and are now changed.

Earlier, most fish from cultures contained negligible DHA and EPA, because they were not fed with their natural food.

Now, there are fish farms that have cultures of algae that produce DHA and EPA, then they feed crustaceans or rotifers with the algae. The crustaceans or rotifers are added to the fish food, so in such farms the fish contain omega-3, like those grown in natural conditions.

This is not done necessarily to improve the nutritional value of the fish, but to ensure that they reproduce for the next farming cycle, because fish deficient in omega-3 acids may fail to reproduce.
Great. But let's roll back to my initial point that the drama around Freenode is disproportionate to its relevancy. The fact you don't like too relevant things kind of isn't a counterargument.

> By the time you buy gold as a hedge, it is often too late..a lot of inflation is already priced in.

If by "hedge" you mean a hedge against inflation, it seems to be of questionable utility:

> Gold objects have existed for thousands of years but for many investors gold has only recently become a tradable investment opportunity. Gold has been described as an inflation hedge, a “golden constant”, with a long run real return of zero. Yet over 1, 5, 10, 15 and 20 year investment horizons the variation in the nominal and real returns of gold has not been driven by realized inflation. The real price of gold is currently high compared to history. In the past, when the real price of gold was above average, subsequent real gold returns have been below average. Given this situation is it time to explore “this time is different” rationalizations? We show that new mined supply is surprisingly unresponsive to prices. In addition, authoritative estimates suggest that about three quarters of the achievable world supply of gold has already been mined. On the demand side, we focus on the official gold holdings of many countries. If prominent emerging markets increase their gold holdings to average per capita or per GDP holdings of developed countries, the real price of gold may rise even further from today’s elevated levels. As a result investors in gold face a daunting dilemma: 1) embrace a view that “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it”, there is a “golden constant” and the purchasing power of gold is likely to fall or 2) embrace a view that “this time is different” and the “golden constant” is dead.

* https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=2078535

TL; DR:

> To recap, gold is not a productive asset. It has a real expected return of 0. That is, based on history, it might keep pace with inflation over a millennium, but that’s probably way longer than most people want to wait. Even as a safe haven based on its low correlation with other assets, gold falls short in a portfolio due to its non-existent real expected return. Finally, while gold’s purchasing power is unaffected by inflation, that does not mean it will maintain its purchasing power in the face of inflation. This calls into question its ability to hedge against extreme currency events.
