If they are found to be the cause of the fires, then this was probably a predictable outcome. If it is a predictable outcome, the accountants would probably do something like accrue a liability for causing forest fires.

They might have made a mistake about how much they accrued in the past, but going forward they wouldn't be able to call the decision profitable. It clearly wasn't.

If a business goes bankrupt, at least one of its past decisions was an unprofitable one. That is a difficult fact to escape from.
Hi there i’m the founder of Treblle and also the guy who developed it all;) So the website itself is built using HTML/CSS/JS on the front-end and PHP/MYSQL/LARAVEL on the back-end. We didn’t use any fancy frameworks for the front-end because we managed to do what we want just with CSS. Plus it really helps with performance and loading times if you cut down on JS frameworks. To make sure it scales we use a lot of AWS services on top of Laravel Vapor. If you have any in depth questions about the tech stack let me know.

Thank you for your comments! I am glad you would consider it. We originally had a 30 dollar package but thought that it might be to many options. We will adjust that based on your feedback :)

When you say "replicating and storing the logs myself". It's not just about the RAW logs - it about who gets to see them and how. Because Treblle allows you to search those logs and say something like "Give me all requests for endpoint X withing a Y time frame that were made from New York, US". So yeah you could be logging thing to CloudWatch but it will just be logs who are not readable to the average person in my opinion. When you share a request from Treblle anybody can understand it, it's full of information that the original log doesn't have like the API version, device information, server information, location data and much more.

Personally as a developer i also hate when you have to buy the biggest package just so you can get the feature you want. I find it sleazy. This way you literary pay for the requests and the retention period you need.

What are you using to build APIs if i may ask?
I am fun of command CLI, the only downsides of it comparing to the GUI is this question: how can I find the functionalities of this command quickly, rather than I need to read the whole help docs to start using it.

A point to keep in mind here, PGE is a company. Their primary goal is to not be the cause of the wildfire and pay damages.
If it also reduces the frequency of wildfires, great.

If you care about accurate color, you do use a card with "whole bunch of patches" of different colors. For example, these British Library guidelines on photographing and scanning archival material say:

"An industry-approved colour chart or greyscale reference card is essential in
order to check the accuracy of the colour captured in the photographs. This is
a physical card that is available to purchase on the internet. It cannot be
downloaded from the internet and printed, or inserted into your image using
software. Approved colour checkers that have been used in EAP projects
include: Gretag Macbeth ColorChecker, QP cards, Kodak Color Control Q13

I'm in Nottingham, but I did work in London many years ago. Recent events may open up work in London for you part remote which if you are keen would allow you to easily double your salary if you have a few years experience. Otherwise salaries are a bit more fluid but if you have 5+ years experience you might be able to add another 10K easily enough. If you are happy where you are and getting good experience consider asking for a raise if you feel undervalued.

it sounds a lot like this would need some kind of delegation mechanism where you could point to a different URL in-time before abandoning the place. or maybe some kind of sealing using a cryptographic function that lets you proof your are the owner of the current/previous content and also would proof you are not the owner of the newer content while this proof could be used to release the ban if ever needed.
You've probably thought of this, but if you can associate votes to identities then a classic way to mitigate this behaviour is quadratic weighting, where e.g. your nth vote costs n^2, so a censor or propagandist needs to pay 1e4 counteract the single votes of 100 casual observers.

The biggest difference technically is that with email, you can register your domain name and have control of it (and you even have the freedom to move between registrars).

With a phone number, legislation was required to enable some of that (keeping a phone number when switching operators). It still does not work across countries, for instance. With legislation, email forwarding could be just as simple indeed, but at least you can solve that problem once yourself!

Basically, for all its problems, email is a technically better solution.

There are practical problems with email too: Gmail will frequently put my emails into spam folders of recipients because my mail server doesn't send enough emails regularly to be treated as trusted server (perhaps I need to start spamming my own gmail accounts :)).

I've had my domains for years (15+) so the risk of losing them is mostly theoretical (other than forgetting to pay and lack of consumer protection past 1 month due to domain squatting).

Hi there, Vedran from Treblle.

What do you use for log management and reporting?

The biggest idea being Treblle is the ability for EVERYONE involved to see requests in real time in a format that is understandable to the average person in tech, not just a back-end developer. Most mobile developers can't read server logs nor they have access to servers that have them. Because we have access to every request we can compute things that you won't find it the logs: like request/endpoint documentation, location data, device information, app version, os version, server environment. More importantly you can literary search any request made to your API. So you can say something like: "Find all requests coming in from Las Vegas, to the Auth endpoint, from iOS withing the last 3 days". It can be even more granular.

Also we actually generate and update your API documentation continuously including an OpenAPI Spec version.

Thank you for your comments especially on the website we are working on it and on the redesign. We just got our seed round and we are looking to make things super polished so stay tuned.

I would love to show you around Treblle if you want ping me at vedran@treblle.com

Interesting you mention old people, because one of the most striking results IHU team claimed to have with HCQ was on EPAD (old people house). Unfortunately, their trial was stopped by the health authority (probably at the time HCQ was thought to be toxic based on a now retracted fraudulent study).

I know i start to sound like a zealot, but i've been followed this team's work for more than a year now, and i'm absolutely stunned their work isn't more valued, at least in their country. I'm not a health expert, but i've worked for a long enough time to feel when someone's during serious work (not to mention the fact that they've often been very informative on the virus itself, which made me less surprised by the evolution of the pandemic).

Silicons is already super cheap enough to be used in RFID tags. RFID tags are by far not the simplest ICs around judging by the gate count needed to implement the amount of memory they have, high performance encryption, channel coding, complex clock trees, some are made with quite modern litho, and IP cores of the same grade as Cortex M0.
Note sure what you mean by "a new metric".

It seems the USA has become an expert on that side of politics. Russia is doing something similar.

When you are in power, and USA, China and Russia are the big fish, you do not need to win wars to be unchallenged, you only need to send others into chaos to continue on top.

Russia and Brexit and other anti European strategies follow this goal. The USA does the same in South America. Will China follow suit in Philippines, Japan, ...? I do not know enough about Asian politics to know the current status.
That adds some color to the situation but it's still worrisome that we're becoming so averse to misinformation that platforms are censoring the discussion of misinformation. This isn't going to help the misinformed. For a real world example: I was chatting with a close personal acquaintance who was semi-sympathetic to the Proud Boys privately via FB Messenger. They wouldn't believe me that the Proud Boys had a rule not to masturbate, so I tried to share a link from the PB website. Messenger wouldn't send the message, but didn't outright say it was banned content either. I tried again using an archive.org archive link to the page, same error: "Send failed. Operation could not be completed."

It seems weird to outright ban the discussion of certain things on public platforms, but even more weird to ban it within private chats.
I think Reddit might be fundamentally flawed because of its voting system and its need for high moderation to make it workable. Mods influence so much power over what people are and aren't allowed to talk about. You use the example of CasualUK which is indeed a very good if slightly "police state" sub but it only exists because the other UK subs became unviable.

The old defence has always been "if you don't like it go away and make your own sub", unfortunately with so many obvious subs being squatted its difficult to get exposure to newer communities.

From memory we have:

/r/unitedkingdom - Mostly teenage lefties, often resembles a 6th form common room, mostly dislike the UK.

/r/ukpolitics - Similar to above, slightly quicker on the banhammer.

/r/england - cybersquatted and shutdown for years by a power mod, just opened back up but the power mod won't give top rank over to active mods.

/r/scotland - A borderline anti-English hate sub, harsh group think in most threads.

/r/baduk - The less said the better.

I don't know what the solution is because as i said, reddit is flawed at a base level. The only positive change i can think of is to cap active participants in a sub to a specific small number.
It's naive to think that downvotes will cause something to be de-amplified, companies like Twitter know all too well how to use controversy and outrage to their advantage.
So, a tangential answer to your question is to explore your premise that the business model of the 80s and 90s is better. As one who has programmed since then I can offer this perspective, which will apply equally to what you do.

Up until 2011 we "sold" our software. Users bought it, and it was theirs to use. We funded support (and development) out of new sales.

However this model is not sustainable. As the installed base grows we hired more full-time support which in turn meant less money for development. Or put another way, if new sales dried up, we'd close our doors. That is not helpful to the existing customers.

For a while we had a "support contracts" model, but customers not on contract "just want this quick question answered" and sets up internal fights between support and revenue over helping customers not on contract. (customers expect _some_ support on purchase and they get used to that)

So we changed to a subscription model. This is sustainable. Subscriptions pay for support staff, new sales pay for developers. Our goal is to get subscriptions to cover both, which takes the pressure off the "need to sell more"

Obviously we are doing commercial software, not FOSS, but the basic premise is the same - to be effective you need to be sustainable. So your model needs that built-in from the start. Alas "donations" is not sustainable, and only a lucky few get big company support (which could disappear quickly.)

I wish you success though - let us know if you find a better model.
Alright, I'm new to pull requests but I had a go at it!

I wouldn't attribute this to the upvoting system - HN is highly moderated and somewhat specialised as a community. This can't scale to a platform as large and as broad as Twitter.
> You tell your applications to drain connections and gracefully exit on SIGTERM.

The problem is that k8s will send requests to your application after SIGTERM. So you have to wait some amount of time before shutting down to allow for that.

This was at least the case last time I used k8s, and it seemed like it was due to the distributed architecture, so something that was more than a mere bugfix away.
Not OP; I read it like this: employers get to decide which portion of an employees wages are available for Payflow’s early withdrawal scheme. After that percentage of the wages has been withdrawn through Payflow, the remainder will be paid out normally, i.e. at the end of the month.
I remember about 5 years ago I tried to deploy it on CoreOS using the available documentation and literally couldn't get it working.

I haven't done a manual deployment since. I hope it got significantly better and I may be an idiot but the reputation isn't fully undeserved.

The problem back then was also that this was usually the first thing you had to do to try it out. Doing a complicated deployment without knowing much about it doesn't make it any easier.

I think a good way to get an understanding of this is to start a company yourself.

You’ll quickly learn why businesses make the decision to pay for software instead of cobbling together open source.

Let’s say you’re a small, but growing company doing $2M ARR. You absolutely could run your email marketing using an open source tool hooked up to Amazon SES and save a thousand bucks a month over something like Mailchimp.

But the problem is, it’ll take you up to a week to get setup (thousands of dollars lost already) and then none of your employees will understand how to send emails with it (thousands of dollars wasted in training). Once they do understand how to use it, it will likely still be slower than a dummy-proof visual UI that has been battle tested on thousands of customers instead of an esoteric open source solution. If it wastes 8 hours of employee time per month, that’s another $1k a month lost.

Then when something goes wrong, which it always does, it’ll require expensive developer time (likely costing the company $1000-$1500/day per engineer all-in) instead of a simple support phone call.

And when you realize the open source version is missing a feature you need, you have to build it yourself, of which any trivial engineering task inside the company will cost at least $5k in employee time. Not to mention the cost to maintain the feature when the open source team breaks it with an update.

So, you’re already in the hole and losing money compared to Mailchimp.

This says nothing about the opportunity cost of engineering time that could have been spent serving your own customers, allowing you to generate more revenue.

You can generate revenue to infinity, but can only cut costs to zero. For a growing company, time spent on cost saving over making new sales is likely time wasted.
I wouldn't place huge importance on it, but a side project is probably a useful way to show that you know some tech outside of your normal work, eg if you want to demo that you've worked on blockchains or k8s or whatever that your normal work doesn't use. That way your potential jobs expand by a fair bit.
I’m curious. Why do you think anything less than 20% will not have an effect? Why isn’t that tipping point number, 0.01% instead of 20%, for example?

For example, gentrification effects in a community can be felt at much much lower numbers than that. In fact, it can take only a few handfuls of rich people moving into an area for it to start gentrifying because it completely changes the expectations landlords have. Suddenly landlords will greatly increase income requirements and rents and this leads to a feedback loop that makes people with an income above a certain level who wouldn’t even consider living in that area, to now make it an option.

The tipping point in gentrification, for example, isn’t caused by an increase in demand, but instead, an increase in expectations both on the supply and demand sides, which then leads to an increase in demands.
The one at your local university. Either one named something like "Introduction to Networking" or "Introduction to Distributed Systems", depending on what you want to learn.

You could also read some books. Rami Rosens "Linux Kernel Networking - Implementation and Theory" is quite detailed.

The "UNIX and Linux System Administration Handbook" (Nemeth et al.) covers a lot superficially and will point you in the right direction to continue studying. It's very practical-minded.

For low-level socket programming, you can probably read "Advanced Programming in the UNIX environment". It might be more detail than you need though.

At the other extreme, if you want to study distributed systems, you could read Steen & Tanembaums "Distributed Systems"
Well that escalated quickly.

I'd like to see a great enlightenment and progress toward a post scarcity, humanist, democratic, liberal, freedom loving future in which people can live their best lives, as free as possible of pointless suffering at the hands of assholes.

I mean, call me radical, but with reality now as one end of a spectrum, and the above utopic fantasy as the other, it should be obvious what humanity should be moving toward.

The history of all of the most free and liberal societies hold great suffering and sacrifice in their past. The bloodshed and revolution that purchased their freedoms might not be an option now that the tyrants have nukes, so that leaves intellectual revolution as the last feasible option for human progress.

It's the greed and cynicism of the wealthy and powerful that perpetuate the status quo. Ideologues and selfish exploiters create space for massive corruption. These regimes may be effectively unstoppable, since the west is so eager to capitulate at the first sign of profit. It may be the best and only thing we can do to simply talk about the crimes and abuses of those in power, and never let up.

This is a bit of a tangent, but there was mention of non-advertising based funding models.

Is anyone working on an advertising model that achieves the basic goal of advertising, but without the centralising aspect which seems to be the root cause of many of the issues? Giant monopolies are always going to subvert regulation but the same industry as disconnected units might be easier to police. Obviously you can just try to split them up or limit their size with regulation after the fact but a good technical basis might help out.

Does web advertising just not make sense unless you can amass lots of private user data and track people across the web? If so can we subcontract that data to smaller companies we can trust with our data and effectively punish if they break the rules?
