The obligations of the seller are over after the point of sale barring warranty and after-sale support. The tax bill is due at the point that the State requests payment. If the State receives the money and opts not to pursue more money before the statute of the limitations expires, the obligations to the State are satisfied.

So why is the seller then obligated beyond prior agreements to expend the profits of the sale on the buyer? Where is your logic?
It's been seamless for us for 5y.

We did crack the nut: we stopped being ameri-centric, and we rejected the notion that productivity must be directly observed during the process to be measured. We rejected "core hours" and we rejected ephemeral vocal communication. If it's not on record it has no value to us.

We have people working at all hours of the day. We have teams split across continents. We have team meetings, but we schedule them a week or more in advance, and even then they're optional. We make prodigious use of Miro, Basecamp, and other collaboration tools. We don't consider any collaboration "finished" so much as "in progress" and often a "meeting" could take course over days, as team members from around the world chime in. There has never been, and will never be, an office.

It works great.

If you go by PPP, top 5 per capita territories are Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Qatar, Macau. That's 3/5 non democracies. Rank 6-10 is Switzerland, Norawy, US, Brunei, HK. 5/10 non democracies.

Many systems can become prosperous if relatively small and sufficiently aligned to US foreign policy to preserve the hegemony. Democracies that don't will get crushed / contained inspite of "democratic peace". The real disruption of PRC's rise is an alternate system that could create a prosperous or even moderately wealthy society, despite US supremency.
Sabers? Katanas?
Your points are totally valid and I agree with them in principle, I just see them as existing on a spectrum.

One pretty interesting example is GitLab's bounty program because you can see both sides, both the reported issues and how they are tracked on the engineering side:

https://hackerone.com/gitlab/hacktivity?type=team

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues?label_name=Hac...

There's very good organizational alignment here from what I can see, and overall the program seems to be quite adaptive and well supported (e.g. the comment about eliminating the 50% bounty here https://hackerone.com/reports/1154542#activity-11394543, 'unduping' a report here https://hackerone.com/reports/402658 ). It's about as best-case as you can get for a bug bounty...relatively small, single-product company that exposed to the sunshine effect of a public issue tracker.

That said, if you peruse every one of those issues you're going to find instances where they drop the ball, take too long, make mistakes, etc. etc.

So I would just say that if you ask anyone that has run a bug bounty, they will likely say they were surprised how difficult it was. You'll also generally find that they are advocates for the researcher community and want to run the best program they can. Everything else is largely a function of the dark art of business prioritization and the quality of the experience will be a function of how well they and their team is able to navigate it.

We use it for training some of the models we use in production environments serving millions of requests per day, so there's no reason to exclude it completely IMO. As you say, it's a wrapper for Pytorch with a few extras tacked on.

With Pytorch you would either use pure torch, FastAI or something like Lightning most of the time. Unless you're using completely mainstream models such as the ones you could get from the Transformers library.
I am so excited for BF2042. I've had to remind myself a few times about not pre-ordering it.

I hope, with the weather stuff and higher end hardware, they lean more into destructive environments. I am still kind of surprised they haven't and have been re-using the same destruction and relying on a single scripted large-scale destruction.

I want to get that feeling of the first time using a grenade launcher to open up walls but even better.

I guess it may be more about game design and keeping maps accessible rather than a technical limitation or a lack of desire on DICE's part.
Ask HN: How do you know you can trust your password management app?
I use a version of KeePass on my phone and it's a life saver. But I read recently about a chrome extension that was purchased by a bad actor that added an exploit. The Freenode take over also has me thinking. And Kaseya, SolarWinds, etc, etc.

If a password manager was ever sold/taken over, an app update could silently give access to all bank accounts, retirement accounts, crypto wallets, etc. for any or all users of that app. This is tremendous risk. Unlikely? Supply chain attacks are becoming more common. Would a state actor have more trouble with a small app developer than they do finding 0-days in Windows?

Even if source code is available for password management apps, it can't be audited reproducibley from source because the required signing will change the package anyway. So I'm getting a little paranoid.

Here’s the magic part: if you are the developer, you get to decide if the backend works with only the newest version or also some earlier ones. And if you just do nothing, the user will be just as logged in in the new version. So, unless they are really unlucky, they’ll never have to wait for an update.
> the way to do it is to buy the groundwater rights from farmers who own them.

As I stated, the way groundwater rights were before was brain dead. It makes no sense to buy partial rights when the use limits are "unlimited", and buying full rights means that the farmer can't grow at all, but even if you tried to do that the farmer would tell you to go to hell because you're how much are you offering for the alternative, which is a theoretical effectively unlimited amount of water?

I'm not going to defend the specific way they went about changing it, but I am going to restate that the water rights have been a complete mess since forever, farmers have been taking advantage of this in CA since it's been that way, and if they're getting the short end of the stick right now, well I'm not going to lose too much sleep since they've had such an awesomely good deal to this point and used it to put the entire state in a bad place.

I feel bad for anyone that started farming recently and got caught up in this (but really, they should have looked at the state of what what going on and reassessed), but for anyone that's been taking advantage of the situation for decades, you've got an uphill battle to convince me they deserve better.

For anyone that wasn't overusing water previously, I would like to hope they aren't being fined a lot or at all. I suspect that those complaining about large fines are probably people that have been extreme water users in the past. If not, I'm happy to hear of someone making a case they don't deserve their fines that has had both sides weigh in.

> but not before most of the farmers harmed have lost everything.

They gambled that there wasn't going to be a revision of water rights that stopped their overuse, and they lost that gamble. They all knew what they were doing. It was one of the biggest stories in the state for multiple years.
In order to assimilate migrants you have to have strong identity that they find appealing. The problem Europe has is that it no longer has any identity. It tries to build itself on the values like tolerance, but what does tolerance even mean? The easiest way to be tolerant is to do not have any strong opinions on any matter, then you can tolerate everything. The only downside is - you lose your own identity along the way.

My gut feel is that Docker is part of a trend of decreasing software quality.

When someone writes "fixed dependencies" I read "developers can more easily add more bloat before the cardhouse tumbles". That happens for example when the "fixed dependencies" are upgraded.

I am miserable having to touch all this junk. I feel a project is right when I can just git clone it (a few megabytes of data at most) and am left with a self contained repo that was written with minimal dependencies (optimally stored in-tree), and that can be easily built in seconds with a simple shell script on any reasonably modern system.

The bare bones way takes a good amount of initial work, but mostly it's a learning experience. Once one understands a few principles of writing portable software, I'm sure it saves a huge amount of time compared to adding all these shells of junk.

Oh yeah, I have zero experience about integrating with Kubernetes or whatever. I've been a small time user of Jenkins and CircleCI (unvoluntarily), and when I don't have to set it up and it actually works, it's alright and can help where the developer maybe lacks a bit of discipline (build all targets, run all the tests).

But, I doubt these technologies are a replacement for an ergonomic build environment (with simple python build script or even a crude Makefile). Is incremental building a thing on any of this CI pipelines? Because one thing I want is building really really fast, and it's already way too much overhead if I have to go through a git commit to check this stuff. Don't even think about requiring a full rebuild or Docker image build just to get some quick feedback on a code change.

Off the top of my head I cant remember ever seeing a quarterly report in the last 10+ years that did not mention "Record revenue and/ or sales and/or services revenue". At some point, it just seems the messaging is spun for optics. On the other hand it does seem that they are expanding the business and that services is a great way to increase margin. Maybe its my selective memory at work, but have they had a suboptimal quarterly result in recent history? Im glad I am a shareholder, but can a company grow continuously forever?

Original author from 5 years ago. Surprised to see this here 5 years later.

Docker really used to crash a lot back in the days, mostly due to buggy storage drivers. If you were on Debian or CentOS it's very likely that you experienced crashes (though a lot of developers didn't care or didn't understand the reasons the system went unresponsive).

There was notably a new version of Debian (with a newer kernel) published the year after my experience. It's a lot more stable now.

My experience is that by 2018-2019, Docker had mostly vanished as a buzzword, people were only talking about Kubernetes and looking for kubernetes experience.

edit: at that time Docker didn't have a way to clear images/containers, it was added after the article and follow up articles, I will never know if it was a coincidence but I like to think there is a link. I think writing the article was worth it if only for this reason.
I'm going to take a contrarian view here and opine that society will rebound from the fascination with "AutoTuned" reality.

I specified "moral" because most bug bounty programs' terms have a blanket prohibition against public disclosure (at least until vulnerability is resolved), and in some cases public disclosure could be legally ambiguous as well (because CFAA is so vague and broad).

Show HN: Metro Station – Personalized Substack Article Feed
While SQLi is still quite common, the use of good libraries and prepared statements even in PHP has increased a lot say in last 10 years, the % of projects / services on which SQLi was possible should have also reduced.

In that HN thread you talked about someone had mentioned till sometime back even the official docs used to have examples with SQLi, which of course they don't anymore, making it slightly harder for junior devs to make those mistakes, each step is improvement.

I am not saying they already solved, I am saying it becomes harder to hack with some techniques over time as defenses become more standard and best practices become actually common place.

> How do you easily scale up? Including starting new machines and spinning down machines that are no longer needed

AWS autoscaling groups + cloudwatch for adding and removing machines + checking them into load balancers is something that has worked for longer than K8s has been a thing.

> How are multiple software parts executed on one host?

systemd units, or for more resource hungry things, multiple autoscaling groups.

The overhead of running the kubelet on each host + etcd cluster + apiserver means that I still end up with fewer hosts if I just run each component on every single host vs scaling different deployments independently.

It is true that kubernetes might be more resource efficient in some combination of nodes and software, but at under 10 servers, I've always found the overhead of the etcd cluster + apiserver + kubelet to dwarf any savings from not just running 10 copies of my software.

> How do you do fail over?

The AWS-managed load balancer can fail over based on health checks failing, metrics, or I can add/remove servers from it manually. You can also do DNS health checks, or add a layer of haproxy/nginx/whatever if you want.

It's not like k8s has some magic ability to fail over under the hood. It's just using k8s service objects (probably LoadBalancer type), which does the same thing.

> Though implicit in that fantasy is that, without democracy, the blue-state liberal gets to impose his will on the Trumpers. Something that can keep someone like that committed to democracy is (for instance) the thought that the alternative is could actually be a never-ending dictatorship of Mitch McConnell, beating humanity with its chin waddle forever.

Right. I don't think it's a given that democracy is demonstrably superior to meritocracy or even aristocracy or enlightened despotism in delivering better outcomes for the majority of people (working definition, GDP/capita, or some honest measure of life satisfaction).

> Are you saying that educated urban Chinese are hesitant about democracy because they get to vicariously impose their will (or something close enough to it) on the rabble via the CCP?

I'm saying that I do know some educated urban Chinese who seemed to believe that, at least the post-Mao CCP leadership probably did a better job than a counterfactual popular elected leadership. I have no idea how representative those few opinions are of the general Chinese urban population. I don't know the country or politics well enough to agree or dispute such views either, but I can certainly see where they're coming from. Mobocracy by the uneducated masses was also one of the largest worries of the American Founding Fathers if I recall my history correctly. Bear in mind that the urbanization rate in China ("blue states" from the educated Chinese perspective) barely reached 30% until 2000 or so. And some Chinese friends summarized Mao-China as basically mob-rule by the peasants.
