> well not to me, when you wearing mask when interacting with me you are not doing a good thing for me.

Yes I am. I am reducing the chance of infection passing between us. The degree to which I'm reducing the chance is uncertain (which is the original point under discussion).

I think we probably won't get any further benefit from this discussion. I've lost patience with a lot of people over this. I find it slightly depressing that this has become the identity issue it has.
>Cases like Airbnb would still get the boot with this strategy.

Or likely anyone on CGNAT for their home internet, I don't think this would be a reliable detection method.
Turning the proposition around, why not have regular banks, even the Bank of England. Issue an official GBPCoin, or a banking framework that does the same thing. Have whoever needs stablecoin use that.

That is, stablecoins are basically USD accounts, just with the actual bank receipts (the coins) circulating. Make that a form of deposit account, and regulate and insure it like any other deposit account.

It presents some questions that aren't answered in advance, but I don't think it's impossible to do this right. In some sense, a stablecoin system is easier to understand.
Man how far the world has moved on. I mean the stuff described here still works and is very cool. But there's a whole hobbyist world now built around SVG and new plotters like the AxiDraw. Check out #plottertwitter for a lot of examples.

No the vault is not able to be a local vault but you can self host your vault on your own server and it uses secure remote password for logging in just like 1password.
It also has end to end encryption for the vault.
The only way for your vault to get compromised is through a server compromise and brute forcing your password, due to how SRP works, even if DNS was taken over and someone intercepted your login request it’s not possible to derive anything about your password and the client would detect that the remote doesn’t actually have the vault.
Even if they man in the middled the login they can’t learn about your password or get access to your encrypted vault.
Great write up.

I wonder if Coinbase has flagged the USDC that was stolen. Are those currently less-fungible USDCs?
Now it will be pretty easy to bring back those pesky remote workers to the offices. They will just tweak some code on the backend and poof, the latency of your home connection skyrockets to the point of typing becoming impossible. Luckily there won’t be such an issue with the office internet! I guess we’ll have to come back to the office to keep being productive in this web-based IDE :^)
I initially learned about it because a junior dev asked for advice on one of his/her apps. It was a college app, simple, it just gathered info from students. But, they offloaded all data to a third-party database. So you are actually giving a company a lot of sensitive, personal information about a fucking college.

He/She was concerned (and with good reason) about the safety of data. Had to learn the bad way :(
I assume they're getting quite a sizable discount being owned by Microsoft.

I do wonder how many VM's they have running though at different points of the day and how many spares they have prepared.

Given the whole outrage over Apple taking advantage of customers' willingness to hand over control of their phones to them, I hope folks can see the parallels here and reject this.

At this point Microsoft's strategy around GitHub, VS Code, Copilot, etc. should be pretty obvious, and we should all be running for the hills.
Costs probably dont work out the same, if it were true why is IBM offering its cloud solution on x86 hardware and not mainframe?
No money to be made by saving lives, infrastructure, and air quality?
Have you experienced sexual harassment, or talked to people you trust who have? I ask because your post is the kind of thing that a person with very little knowlege and/or experience of human nature would write. Book smart and street stupid.

EDIT> As pointed out by others, he admits to sexual harassment of a minor. Maybe you should believe Aubrey instead of posting knee-jerk reactions to hot-button topics.

EDIT 2> This post comes off more attacking than I would hope to communicate at my best. I still believe the substance, but regret the tone of my original edit. I would say that I am definitely guilty of doing a partial pattern match on some topic, realizing that it is a hot-button issue for me, and then going off on some rant that is only tangentially related, or ignores key points of the actual situation under discussion. We should all try not to do this, but we should also have some tolerance for people doing this and stay engaged.
> So if you want to avoid 2008 in cryptocurrency, the answer would be more regulation, not less.

To expand on this point. Deregulation with a federal reserve fallback is especially dangerous because it's essentially fake deregulation. When you know that you're too big to fail and the government is going to bail you then your risk to allocate capital effectively becomes zero.
Considering every single VPN commercial I've seen on YouTube mentions bypassing Netflix region blocks, I don't think this is all that surprising.
No mention of Javascript. All the pages that I would consider scraping are constructed, at least in part, client side by Javascript. If that Javascript is not executed then there is nothing interesting to scrape.
Calm down.

It's nothing new, in the 90's the highest record was just 0.3C lower than this one.

> It is yet another example why climate change is not just about raising the average temperature by one degree.

It's not the average, it's the record, and the difference is just 0.3C vs. the record temp from the 90's.
We live in bold times. Doesn't look like the old guard is working.

Kind of like what happened with Space. It needed to be disrupted.
1. I'd like to know the logic behind region locking

2. This will only drive more people to piracy.
Good point! I suspect the issue will be running tests. From what I gather they did all this to save developers the pain of compiling ruby gems + specific stuff on your environment (which can be a huge pain...)

If you edit a file using some sync over ssh option, and want to run a test - how do you proceed? And how is this not the same thing as just checking out the git repo locally in the first place?
Such a stale take. Can I assume you are pretty much against the cloud in general?
My play through definitely implied that social media was good and that not using it was bad. Seems to me that anyone could play this and decide their own interpretation of "anxious wolf" which is exactly my criticism of it. Things that contain more depth are less subjective in their interpretations. I would even take aim at the idea that "fear of being a bad person" is something we over-estimate, I often wish more people had this fear (like vaccines because it's good).

It reminds me of the whole Colbert paradox, where he polls equally well with all sides of the political spectrum despite engaging with politics daily. No matter what you believed you felt he believed the same things as you.

This is not that I disagree with your overall view here - I don't, people should absolutely apply logic in reasoning to their rick/reward calculations rather then going on pure gut feeling - however I just do not believe this game really goes into any of this in a manner fitting to the complexity of the subject. But really, how could 6 min flash game do that?
Sorry, not a web dev. What is polling in this context?
It's a little unclear, because (like many things in public policy) there's several putative explanations for what caused the crises, peoples' preconceived notions color which ones they favor, and it's manifestly unclear who is right. And it should be remembered that "everyone" is a perfectly plausible answer.

At a broader level, there is most consensus on the idea that the key failure in 2008 was that no one--neither investors nor creditors nor credit-rating agencies nor regulators--correctly understood the risk profiles of the new financial products, and things that were thought to be very safe or at least combined uncorrelated risk profiles suddenly started all taking in unison at the same time.
At least some 'Netflix originals' are released on Bluray.
> Don't turn things upside down! The spirit is that they are now REQUIRED to spy on all their customers.

By the law.

Just like any shop owner is required by the law to report the same things if they happen in their shops.

The purpose if the law is to MANDATE some behavior, it's not a simple advice.

It's by design.

No need to turn anything, this is the law working as intended, the opposite would be no law hence no rules.

> But the execution of this idea is more and more turning into a nightmare

I've heard this sentence so many times that I would be rich if I received a euro every time.

Truth is EU is simply what European people want it to be.

Ironically Germany supported the EU membership for the former eastern block and now those are the countries that are causing the majority of the controversial issues.

> But the truth is, the EU is ruled by the governments of the countries,

Again, working as intended.

Governments are elected bodies.

But also wrong: the parliament is elected by the EU people directly.

I think it's time this silly argument dies, if we wanna have a fair conversation about EU.
I think people like not having their physical machine tied to their dev environment. IMO "the way" to do this is with ssh and tmux, not a web app. As long as people have choices I guess it doesn't matter.
> At this point Microsoft's strategy around GitHub, VS Code, etc. should be pretty obvious

As someone not following this closely, what would that strategy be?
I’d sooner trust Bernie Madoff to manage my money honestly than trust Facebook to manage my personal information honestly.
TL;RD: Facebook wants to announce in the future some privacy enhancing ideas, nothing concrete yet.

But don’t worry, they still want to track you enough to tailor ads to users (their words).

That’s an absolutely fascinating Wikipedia rabbit hole. I would pay good money to read a Neal Stephenson book set among Michigan wildcat bankers and railroad venture capitalists in the 1830s…
On the other hand, disappearing messages by default could strengthen social protections.

Someone gets hit by a hack like Pegasas and it is only able to scrape a small history of messages.

At the end of the day this is going to be a per user decision. Security and privacy are different things. What's the correct privacy options for you is going to be different from another person, while we are likely to share the same optimal security strategy.

Interesting, can you elaborate a bit on "cloud-based" development vs for example a traditional workflow of git and a central repo?
"Global and homogeneous" culture is a right wing meme, not reality. Don't believe me? Survey the Americans you know and ask them how many Bollywood movies they've watched ever.
Interesting, I've never had that issue on the browser. I HAVE noticed that if you open the plugin before the page finishes loading, it will error trying to fill the fields. In those cases I tend to just close the plugin and reopen it and it seems to work fine for me.

No idea if your experience has been different, just a thought!
This likely has more to do with contracts with the content owners rather than Netflix directly. Distribution deals as they are effectively resell the same product by carving up the world into markets.

As for Netflix own productions, many I imagine are created in partnership with other production studios who don't generate subscriber revenue from a streaming service but from those same multi-country distribution deals.
Ignorant, but Curious
> consistent across OS versions and platforms.

This is an upside for the developer only. And a downside for the user as the GUI will probably not be consistent with its OS.

> over the past decade it seems like many apps have eschewed this anyway

And I regret it.
Isn't this usually thought of as a disadvantage? E.g. You have to buy more glass ($$) to get smaller mm equivalents?
Sort of - now that I live in Michigan, and re-acclimated to a northern climate, at 21 I have to sleep on top of blankets or I overheat (though, I will find that after a few hours, my body cools down while sleeping and I may pull a blanket overtop me). 18 + a normal duvet is perfection. Cool enough for blankets, but not so cold that I feel uncomfortable.

This is mostly a meditation on the fact that I used to be able to sleep in temperatures of 26-27 in Singapore. The human body (at least this one) can definitely acclimate to local environments given some time and exposure.

Of course - no acclimating whatsoever will help you if the wetbulb temperature gets up to 35. You are just dead unless you can find some active cooling at that point fairly quickly.
I think what he's suggesting is that "at first, she was fine with it, but then somebody convinced her not to be fine with it" or some such thing. Which may have some debatable merit, depending on the circumstances... except that she was a minor. Any kind of defense or explanation goes out the window when you're that kind of creep.
Is Delft related to ASML?
I have some of the worst home wifi possible, and have been comfortably developing from Codespaces for over 6 months :)

Editing happens locally in the client (and is synced to the service in parallel), and so you shouldn’t notice any latency when typing.

> Currently, all the holders of tether could ask for dollars, and they'd all get them, and there'd even be 0.26% of the original balance left.

This is the correct reading: 0.26% is the excess in total capital compared to liabilities.

Earlier in the article, they state that Tether has 5% cash+equivs, so you know that 5% of Tether could be redeemed without trouble. If there were redemptions in excess of that, they would need to sell securities.
I use this for developing on linux/pi/jetsons, (need to test linking against real libs, and cross compiling for some reason still isnt a thing), but the compile times are terrible...

I wish this was even more modular so we could have a dumb compile farm, +local ide +run&debug on-device
(I've recently got 90% closer by remote sshing with vs code to a pi vm)
I should adopt that for here on HN. I sometimes wind up in conversation with zealots (Churchill's definition: someone who can't change their mind and won't change the subject). So: Two and done. If I give them reason to change their mind, and they won't even listen, then two-and-done.
Unfortunately, it's a pathological edge case.

Imagine an async-loaded list, that continues loading more content as it comes in, until it displays all of the content available to the backend.

When would you know such a list is finished loading?

This sounds insane, but it's pretty easy and common for an ambitious UXer to key in on, and is something I've seen in production pages.

(In the event you are a UXer, please include some sort of status update! Even an overlaid spinner that disappears solves the problem.)
Seems like the next step is to avoid downloading the full repository on every machine. If you had it stored on a few machines in the same DC (keep hot files in memory), you could just fetch things on demand with little latency penalty.

Though a lot of people seem to have issues with FUSE filesystems.
I wonder why they're not telling the security & compliance side of the story here. Getting rid of local development means they have to worry a lot less about what's going on on their engineers' workstations. They've reduced them to dumb clients; any code going in or out of the repository has to be created, or at least pass through, a VM that GitHub controls. That lets them move the security boundary; I wouldn't be surprised if the next step is to cut off the ability to clone or push to certain sensitive repositories from outside of Codespaces.

That being said, while it has a lot of advantages from an enterprise perspective, I wouldn't want to live that way :)
And legal system.
Reminder to self: don't apply at GitHub
N.B. the 35c/95f temperature they're talking about is _not_ air temperature. It's 'wet bulb' temperature, or what the air temperature would be at 100% humidity. Only when the actual humidity is 100% are the two equivalent. Otherwise, the wet-bulb temperature measures the lowest temperature achievable by evaporative cooling. The survivability concerns of sweat being unable to cool humans below hyperthermic levels should be obvious.

At quick check, humidity in Houston is like 55%, so the wet-bulb temperature is only ~80f. Uncomfortably hot, but not close to the threshold discussed in TFA.
Well... the fair use case and/or the public good case are pretty strong for news.
It is, but on the Mac, one of the big selling points of 1Password was a nice, native UI. If that feature is gone, why use it over an open-source, self-hostable alternative?

Ask HN: Building a case against hiring practices of tech companies?
I have been in the tech industry a long time.

More and more companies require potential employees which apply for a programming position to complete a code-test. Which they require to be done for free and do not offer any compensation for hours worked. They also do not offer an alternative way of judging whether the potential employees are fit for the role. I would gladly complete the code-test if I was compensated for my time and have done so in the past.

I think that there is a case here and am wondering who else has thought about this.

I have compiled a list over the years which currently includes:

REI,

Blockchain is a scam.

This is one of those "guns don't kill people" arguments. Of course blockchain isn't a scam it's just a tool, but every instance of blockchain I've seen used has been inefficient and unnecessary and better performed by other existing technology. People trying to flog their banal products as something special because blockchain is the scam.

Imagine the amount of telemetry they will collect from their engineers! And of course the Big Data team will start working on identifying the “slackers” ;)
It's so silly. They could at least make it clear - I forgot about it on holiday in Canada, watched a couple of episodes of a series (enough to get into it), returned home to the UK and it wasn't there. I didn't realise until then that would happen; I hadn't even remembered that it was a possibility.
The amount of time I've seen lost to engineers spinning up (or fixing) development environments is staggering. This kind of thing is going to save SO much money.

(I've run a team responsible for the tooling for a company's development environments in the past so this hits really close to home.)

The difference is that you don't pay a monthly subscription to use a garbage collector.
You'd think so, but here in Canada the groceries play the same games by changing the definition of 'per unit' in different ways, for example price per 100g vs. price per kg vs. price per serving/capsule/sub-pack.
It's slightly slower with the mirrorless systems because you have to wait until the viewfinder is ready before looking through it. It's fast enough, but the viewfinder is black while the camera is off.
Is George Bush a war criminal too?
It depends on how exactly the tools are used. If you're using docker for reproducible builds with locked-in/platform specific versions of dependencies that need to work seamlessly across platforms then that's pretty good. If you NEED docker/codespaces/etc.. because in order to do basic development and run tests you need N servers running with some specific state, duct taped with non-idempotent bash scripts then this type of stuff is just piling on tech debt.
"An accessible syntax that makes it less scary."

Can anyone explain how syntax elements such as { } are a net win? This looks like they've tuned the syntax to not scare anyone off in the first week, at the expense of an economy of expression later.

Rob Pike once justified C syntax for its ability to survive pipes that mangled whitespace. That was then, this is now. To this old C programmer, anything that unnecessarily resembles C is ground glass in the eye.
Digital goods are still considered property so its far from ridiculous, but we can re-evaluate and change that via legislation if we wish to.

Re: Regional Pricing - Its no different than product prices changing depending on the country. Import/custom taxes/duties, trade treaties, etc, still are a thing in today's world. Again, not ridiculous, but changeable if people want to.
The US civilian militias that currently exist in a time of domestic peace are filled with angry people from the margins of society. The ones that would form from the veterans of decades of foreign wars in a time of domestic conflict might be a lot different.

Remember that bin Laden fought off the Soviets using an MBA, an inherited construction company, and billions of dollars of foreign funding. Militias don't exist in isolation from the world.
I assume a huge part of why GitHub is okay with this is that VS Code / Codespaces and Azure are both products from the same company. :)

I do think there's a serious autonomy question here, and I think companies do actually care a lot about maintaining their autonomy from other companies, and in many cases the incentives align a lot. The whole stack here seems like something that you can run internally / self-host:

- Codespaces are specially-configured containers. All the standard infrastructure for running containers (Docker, Kubernetes, etc.) is FOSS and is quite reasonable to run internally. It's not even like OpenStack where it's a knockoff product of what the major cloud vendors run: it's literally what the cloud vendors run.

- Shallow clones, pre-built running containers, etc. are all deployment practices, not products.

- You can ssh into a codespace.

The big problem here in my eyes is that it's reliant on VS Code, whose remoting stuff is not FOSS (and, having tried it at my own workplace pointing it at our self-hosted Kubernetes, it's been a pain to get it to work well with our authentication setup, proxies, etc. without access to the code and we have a number of open bugs filed). I think the challenge is for a free-software IDE to adopt the VS Code model of the IDE running locally but executing code (including running the LSP backend) remotely.

And, in a sense, Emacs already supports this just fine with TRAMP. It's just that the experience of using Emacs and the experience of using any modern IDE (VS Code, any of the JetBrains IDEs, whatever) are very different... and none of them are FOSS.

If you have a FOSS IDE, I think you can get this whole setup working well in a way where you have autonomy over the setup and where you can understand the details just fine. And even if you're using VS Code, you can set all of this up in a way where you're not contacting any external services.
