Yeah, that was always one of the big problems with PHP. Google search would produce these old tutorials full of SQL injection code. I think there was a community effort to clean these up, so (un)fortunately we have AI to bring them back.

That's an excellent point and I forgot about the role of military faction support plus civilian looting of military arms caches and theft of military vehicles in many revolutions.

I agree that the war for independence should not be called a revolutionary war for the reasons you stated. A revolutionary war has not happened yet in North America.

Loom, Statista, and Soundcloud might ring a bell, just to name a few.

How do we build Back?
Our frontend stack is Typescript, React and GraphQL. Our backend is written in Go, and our machine learning services in Python. Finally, all of it is connected using gRPC and Protobuf.

Where are we?
Our office is in the heart of Kreuzberg, Berlin, Germany. Part of our team is working remotely. Our only requirement is that you are +/- 2 hours timezone and willing to come to Berlin once a month for team events.

Curious to see who your future colleagues would be?
Go have a look at http://bit.ly/working-at-Back

As a practical matter some motherboards are now so tightly integrated that component level repair is no longer feasible.
I think what you're missing is the big improvement comes from removing the tabs. This allows them to remove a ton of dead weight basically.

But yeah the article is terrible. It's like they decided 9 months late to make an article about Battery Day.
They used to be the only registrar for com., or at least Network Solutions was, before they got bought. Verisign owns one of the root servers, and I believe they are in charge of adding SOAs for all the com. domains. Though I suppose the other root servers could go rogue at any time if they wanted to.

I think that all other registrars have to go through Verisign in order to register sub domains off of com., but there may be other ways. I haven't really kept up with it in the last 20 years.

Enclave Networks | Newport UK | Full Time, Remote OK | https://enclave.io/careers/

Enclave wants to get the network out of the way, and let people think about what they want to achieve, rather than having to change their network configuration to make it happen.

Enclave provides a Zero Trust Overlay Network that allows users to stand up any global network connectivity they want, securely, without open ports on the public internet or changing any of their existing network infrastructure.

We are expanding our team to build out our product, its public APIs and the management portal.

We have Engineering roles open to people based in the UK (flexible remote up to fully remote is fine):

- Senior C# Software Engineer - https://enclave.io/careers/senior-csharp-software-engineer/

- Senior Front-End Engineer (TypeScript, React, JAMStack) - https://enclave.io/careers/senior-front-end-software-enginee...

- UX/UI Designer - https://enclave.io/careers/ux-designer/

We also have a DevRel role available, open for global remote, to help us communicate with the engineering community about Zero Trust Networks and how Enclave helps to solve many of the existing connectivity problems we face as engineers. If you're interested in Zero Trust (or writing about networks in general), it would be great to talk.

- Engagement Manager / Content Creator - https://enclave.io/careers/content-creator-engagement-manage...

Get in touch at people@enclave.io if you want to chat about any of these roles.
I’m making a similar investment. We’re already seeing scarce capital flowing to the O&G sector limiting development of new fields/sources of oil. I think oil prices will stay high (similar to coal) going forward as long as US shale producers can’t access capital like they could before. Existing producers that can live off cash flow could reap the rewards of these high prices. I own quite a few US-based oil companies to play off what I think will be a very long term trend.

(This is not investment advice.)
I'd say we're already seeing things go in that direction.

I've heard similar comments but I don't understand how people would be expected to navigate around the internet? Is the idea that Google's search input should replace it? So if I want to go to sec.gov I should search SEC and click the link (hopefully) provided at the top of the results rather than just go there directly? It just doesn't make sense to me.
That is exactly it. They used to be price controlled, and then ICANN removed the price cap, so the predictable price rises are kicking in.

This probably illustrates the community consensus on it going back a couple of years:
https://www.google.com/search?q=icann+.com+price+cap

Edit:

Whoops! ICANN haven't altered their price controls for .com recently. Might be getting mixed up with the .org kerfuffle.

In the current .com contract, prices were fixed at $7.85 until 30th November 2018, and are allowed to raise the cost by 7% per year after that, under certain conditions:

"7.3(d)(ii) Registry Operator shall be entitled to increase the Maximum Price during the term of the Agreement due to the imposition of any new Consensus Policy or documented extraordinary expense resulting from an attack or threat of attack on the Security or Stability of the DNS, not to exceed the smaller of the preceding year's Maximum Price or the highest price charged during the preceding year, multiplied by 1.07."

This is a good point and true for many things other than timeseries analysis. Any time uncertainty is involved the language of probability is the only thing that makes sense.

And as you say, what matters is generally not the specific values you are uncertain of, but what consequences they can potentially have for your decisions. To know this, you really have to know most values that are possible and how likely they are.

It's not, though. Kids with stay-at-home parents are still required to go to school. Compulsory education is near universal at this point, but at least in the American tradition, the first publicly-funded, mandatory schools were mostly for instilling community values into kids, and this was in communities where women weren't even allowed to work outside the home. Kids were actually expected to learn reading and math at home before they even started school.

History isn't the present, but the reason most laws exist today is just inertia, not some principled stand of the legislative bodies that might otherwise be able to repeal them.

Empire Flippers | Remote (no office), all timezones | Full-time | https://empireflippers.com

Empire Flippers is a true global-remote company with travel in our DNA and employees scattered across 5 continents and all sorts of countries. Since I joined 1.5 years ago, I've personally been to India, the US, Brazil and Colombia so far, all while working remotely and coding our Ruby on Rails + React app. More about us here: https://empireflippers.com/about-us

Though not as well known in the Hacker News / venture-backed startups sphere, Empire Flippers is widely considered the #1 marketplace for buying and selling online businesses in the 5 to 8 figure USD range.

Think of businesses like --- that recipe site you landed on as the first result when you googled "best chicken tikka masala recipe". Or the Amazon FBA seller whose product you purchased when shopping for "Widget XYZ" (with Amazon FBA, these ecommerce businesses never touch inventory and so it's a fully online business).

Turns out these type of businesses may be earning 10s of thousands of dollars per month in profit (or more!) and when the (often first time) founder is ready to sell, Empire Flippers is the #1 place to do it safely, securely and at a fair market price.

Before I joined Empire Flippers I only had a peripheral understanding of this space, but now that I've been steeped in this industry I can say that this "mini M&A" world is just as exciting as the high-flying unicorns (and decacorns) that we read about daily on Hacker News.

The company is hiring a wide variety of positions (both technical & non-technical), all of which can be found here: https://empireflippers.com/careers

But in particular, I'm hiring a Senior Ruby on Rails developer to help me continue to build out new features in our Platform, both for customers and to help run our (very extensive) internal operations of vetting incoming businesses, facilitating their sale, and migrating them to the new owner after they've been purchased.

That job ad can be found here: https://empireflippers.com/career/senior-ruby-on-rails-devel...

Our target salary range is $85K - $100K USD, and as a global-remote company we are hiring people of all nationalities located in any country in the world.

Hope to see your application soon, and with any questions feel free to email me (Ben) at beng at empireflippers.com
That's the problem that a lot of people are acting from their money perspective.
I'm not withholding these details from my children.
For me, „HN effect” was much smaller - it merely instilled in me a dream of living off of my own independent IP (software or video game or art etc). But, even that is a pipe dream for vast majority of people - I for one am not nearly hard-working enough to be able to pull that off. So, the dream had to be killed so that it doesn’t pointlessly torture me for the rest of my life.
In my experience with Apple parts they are roughly in line with my expectations based on a) the price of the computer, and b) not being designed for any part to be replaced independently. These aren't great factors of course, but I'm not sure the problem is expensive parts.

I've usually found logic boards to be ~1/3-1/2 of the price of the machine, which considering they have the RAM/SSD soldered on, feels like ~1/3-1/2 of the value of the machine to me. Similarly, screens are often in the same sort of ballpark and I'd say that matches my expectations.

If you start from "how much does a motherboard cost" or "how much does a screen cost", that's going to miss a lot of the legit costs of additional components, higher quality components, or laptop form factor costing more.
> All of this was contextual. You could speak your beliefs freely as long as they were some kind of Christianity, nobody could force you to do anything unless you weren't a straight cis white man, etc.

This tells us very little because every society can be viewed as "contextual" in that sense, and pre-modern societies only more so. Consider the history of religious controversy in Britain, or the medieval remnants in the social structure of then-prerevolutionary France. What matters however is that the U.S. was intended to be far less contextual than its contemporary societies, a key advancement towards deeper modernity.

I’m pretty sure this mentality is what causes the constant gutting of the middle class in the US.

Now, you can take the moral high ground of 'Well we don't want the help of greedy people', but it seems that when you do that, you don't get a lot of convictions, and the financial crimes continue to happen.

It's not right, because now it's in the whistleblowers' best interest to get in on the scam and enrich themselves instead of reporting anything, since the act of whistleblowing is equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot while biting the hand that's feeding you.

I suppose it is right depending on who's side you're on.
> And most of the times, companies choose who is the pilot and who is the copilot randomly on a per-flight basis.

What companies are you aware of that do this? The proper terms are "Captain" and "First Officer" and they are actual rankings within the company, not something that is randomly chosen on a flight-by-flight basis. The actual details of who does what during the flight are generally not related to the ranks ("pilot flying" and "pilot monitoring" duties can and do switch during flight) although the Captain is always the ultimate authority and will be the one to take control in tough situations because he's got more experience.

Typical (i.e. almost all) commercial flights will have a Captain sitting in the left seat and a First Officer sitting in the right seat.
This is the draw for Jupyter Notebooks as well. Execute code blocks. I remember when I learned this in Matlab.
