I like seeing these guidelines but I definitely have been thinking about this essay from a couple months back which I think accurately calls the current situation untenable. These are all good advice, but even most government agencies have nowhere near the budget to fully implement them.

> The truth is, while governments are pushing frameworks such as Zero Trust, the amount of orgs who successfully implement these are… not many. Many companies can barely afford to patch SharePoint, let alone patch the the tens of thousands of application vulnerabilities shown in a vulnerability management program, and really struggle with accurate asset lists.
…
> My concern, for years, has been that ransomware gangs have not only closed the loop on monetization, they are also acquiring so much income they are becoming a bigger operational threat than some states.
>
> To give an example, one ransomware group receiving a $40m payment for attacking a cybersecurity insurance company gives the attackers more budget to launch cyberattack than most medium to large organizations have to defend against attacks in total. And that’s just one attack, from one group, that barely made the news radar of most people.

“Find gas stations along the route and show me a list sorted by distance from my expected route” is a function I had in a stock nav system in 2007. I think it was two button presses away. We’ve definitely regressed.

Office space is crazy expensive; the small and medium size shops will see the benefit of closing the office entirely because it amounts to being able to hire another employee or two, in most cities.
Ask HN: What is the best cross-platform approach to blocking websites?
Maybe there is none, and I have to just do it separately on each device.
I have a few websites that I would rather just cut from my life completely.

My assumption is that I should push a hosts file to github and clone it on each device I use?

That would be ok for windows, ubuntu and mac. But what would I best do for a non-rooted android, or an iphone?
Rust isn't only nibbling at the C/C++ niches: thanks to its correctness and productivity aspects it also attracts people coming for example from Go/Python/Javascript.

In some way, you could say that Zig is pulling system programmers towards high-level programming, whereas Rust is pulling high-level programmers towards system programming. That's not a watertight comparison but I think it's an insightful one.
Sounds pretty much like a fallacy to me.

You can absolutely use Ada as merely Pascal with a more pedantic type system. So very reasonably sized.

Importantly though, Ada is much more coherent (and less timtowtdi) than say C++ so as you do start bringing in more of the language into your codebase the "every one uses a different 10% of the language" problem of C++ isn't much of a problem for Ada.
there are ways to 1. be secure, 2. be productive.

I think that's the ultimate goal of "zero trust," but maybe I'm naive

I worked at a company that did away with cubicles in favor of long tables where you had just enough space for a laptop and external display and looking past that display, or to your immediate left and right, you saw the faces of your co-workers.

That was in a different department than mine. In mine, we had cubicles. Not great but better than the long tables. The owner of the company asked me about the arrangement our department once. I was frank and told him everybody should have their own office. I told him people in our line of work need to be able to focus for long periods of time in order to be productive. He replied, "But I really want to encourage the vibrant atmosphere we have in [other department]!" I just shook my head and thought, "What you see is a vibrant atmosphere is really people not working."

I heard after I left that he replaced all the cubicles in my former department with long tables.

Depends on your usage pattern , car age and location perhaps .

In my experience hyundai puts in a lot of features into their cars especially at their mid market price point, which is great until the car is 7+ years old extended warranty no longer covers and/or you have rough usage.

Toyota are really the best
when it comes to reliable older cars, Ford is not too bad especially since a used Ford is not as expensive as a used Toyota

I have had better experience with older Ford cars than with Hyundai cars.

I think more than reliability and service, it is the their inability to keep adding all the bell and whistles expected in a hyper competitive market is what is doing them in.

India is a very young market a lot of first time buyers etc, new sales is less influenced by service /after market experience(ola electric* or MG and other new entrants have had no problem selling) and lot more by attractive financing, marketing and all the trinklet features people are usually attracted to.

Perhaps I am biased because I have worked with Ford in the past (and also Hyundai)

* Although still very early days and only pre-orders for small token amounts they have had very strong reception, concerns over after market experience is not all that prominent concern as you would expect.
Hey Everyone, as Kubernetes is ready to release its version 1.22, Developers and DevOps Engineers need to upgrade Kubernetes Objects before upgrading Kubernetes. It's a tedious task to know whether the current ApiVersion of the Object is Removed, Deprecated or Unchanged. We thought why not build a tool, Silver-Surfer, that would not only validate against the given Kubernetes version but also provides a Migration Path to a newer ApiVersion. It shows exact errors which need to be resolved for migration to newer ApiVersion as well as specification errors with respect to the provided ApiVersion in case it is not removed.

https://github.com/devtron-labs/silver-surfer

I know that there are other tools that provide similar functionality but they seemed Inadequate
Kubeval(link of Kubeval) - Well known, It only validates against the given Kubernetes Version but doesn’t provide a migration path
Kubent(Link of Kubent) - Only provides Info about removed and deprecated api but no schema validation
Kubepug(Link of KubePug) - Only checks whether the existing objects have any Deprecated ApiVersions

Silver-Surfer uses openapi spec provided by the Kubernetes with releases, for eg. in case of target kubernetes version 1.22 openapi spec for 1.22, to validate the Kubernetes objects for depreciation or non-conformity with openapi spec. This allows it to validate against any kubernetes version as soon as its specs are released on the github kubernetes project.

It's a side project we took up as these issues were a hassle upgrading one of our Platforms, Devtron.
Would love to know what you think of this, any suggestions and Contributions are welcome :)
A lot probably depends on the amount of infrastructure left standing. In most of history kingdoms/empires would grow to roughly a week's travel time from the capital, since that's an area that can be effectively governed. Anything larger than that needs a strong local government, which eventually causes a separatist movement.

If a nuclear war destroys a large portion of highways and communication equipment, you probably end up with Houston being ruled by one group, Dallas by another and San Antonio forming a government with Austin.

Meaningless vent with very little substance.

White space issue: code needs to be well formatted. In Python, it can not be well formatted.

Self: the author hasn’t heard of class or static methods, apparently. Explicit scoping is very welcome. Especially when implementing metaclasses or descriptors. By the way: the name “self” is convention. The “self pointer” (khm, that’s why it’s called self) is passed as the first positional argument. If you call it rabbit, then you can use rabbit.foobar in your code.

Object orientation: “Ugly” is not an argument. Python has the most comprehensive and complete OOP implementation. (It even supports multiple inheritance with diamond bases), yet it has the simplest syntax ever. Not sure what the fuss is about.
This is how I see it too. Twitter is boiling the frog on malicious bot accounts.

Bots that want you to think they're human will end up with "bot verified" badges that undermine the strength of their opinion, or they will be banned.
That's quite presumptuous. As it happens I don't (yet) and indeed you may be right and I'll be worn down one day, but I'm pretty sure I and my sibling didn't behave like that, and consequently I wouldn't like/expect to see it from any dependant of mine either.

Surely you have some 'rules', but you could apply your comment to anything - 'try telling a five year old not to talk with their mouth full, see how much better your life is'; 'try stopping them running with scissors'; ...
You can always be lucky. I was audited a few years ago, they didn't find any issues. So, just for fun, they added a special audit 3 months later. Needless to say they didn't find anything that time either.

Don't talk to the police or the IRS. They are never aligned with your interests, and whether you get a reasonable person or someone who just loves to ruin your day is random.
>Why should it be legal to publicly insult someone?

I consider an insult to be an expression of an opinion and thus protected by the 19th article of the universal declaration of human rights.

> I don't think I'm suddenly going to accept that the data presented to my function is valid and fit for purposes just because it goes through someone's JSON schema library. That's just passing the responsibility on to a third party, which feels lazy and dangerous to me.

The purpose of a schema isn't to ensure that every business rule is satisfied. It's just the first step of data validation. It's step 1 of input triage. It's saying, "I'm not even going to look at your input until you can demonstrate that the request meets the minimum requirements of a theoretically valid request."

If I'm asking for a Student, and I say they have to have a StudentId, a FirstName, a LastName, and a DateOfBirth, then I can put that into a schema and immediately reject any submission that tries to submit Surname or GivenName. I can go further and say that StudentId is up to 25 characters and can't be blank. DateOfBirth has to be present, must be a date in yyyy-MM-dd format, and it must be in the past, etc.

You can reject the data as incomplete or invalid at a glance. You're setting up a basic set of rules that allows you to instantly discard a whole range of invalid input.

It was the VB clamp that connects the two pieces of the bellows pipe (which runs from the turbo to the DPF).

I wouldn't call it "historical fiction" since that takes "what really happened" as its starting point. On DDG, a query of "post apocalyptic fiction" finds over 1,000 books.

I don't think all of them (e.g. The Hunger Games) are what you're after, but some of them surely are.

I've never seen anything to suggest that a "free-market" is a stable environment. Historically it seems that the natural end-point for a "free-market" is control by a few large coordinating monopolies and monopsonies, which is anything but a free market in the economic sense.

The only way I've ever read of/seen for maintaining something approximating a free market is significant government regulation and intervention.

Significant regulation of large economic entities is probably a very good thing for the overall economy in the long term.
I’m able to turn off the cell connection on my CPAP with airplane mode. I have a ResMed AirSense 10 that I got 4+ years ago and in the “MyOptions” section it has an “Airplane Mode” menu item which can be set to “On” to turn off the cellular connection.

I agree with all that you said about it reporting home and compliance.

I also found it surprising how strict it was to be compliant. I needed a 2 or 3 month uninterrupted streak of 4 hour+ usage per night.

I had to email the data to my insurance since I had it on airplane mode.
Ask HN: What pricing model for an experience app?
I'm curious as to what the best pricing model for an app that I'm piloting. It's an "experience app", in that the app allows you to live an experience from your living room that you'd normally get in a brick-and-mortar venue (sorry, contractually can't go into more details).

We have currently a freemium model, where you get free unlimited access for a limited time (< 1hr), and then these options:

1/ A one-shot "x hours pass" for a couple bucks (e.g, <5 USD for 6 hours), which can be renewed on demand of course.

2/ A subscription or "unlimited monthly pass" for a bit more (e.g. < 10 USD / month, unlimited usage during the month), which automatically renews.

But we've seen that subscriptions are quite "stable" and we don't get a positive increase in recurring subscribers. We get more or less a many new ones as we lose them. Most don't cancel after 1 month, but generally within 2 or 3.

And one-shot passes aren't as popular as we had expected, so people seem to think that our subscription is definitely more interesting for a few repeat uses, but don't stick around too much.

Visits are fine, but free base growth is not great (think ~10 to ~15 users/day average) and conversion from free to a pass or subscription is rather low.

So, I've been trying out some numbers, and thought of trying another approach: a subscription or "unlimited monthly pass" again, but this time for actually a lot less. My gut feeling based on our demographics are that this would encourage more people to register, and they'd be a lot less likely to get cancelled (e.g. < 1USD / month, unlimited usage during the month)

Does that fly? Do you have other ideas?

Adoption has been a bit low - probably for a number of reasons - but I can see there's definitely interest in that app, so I'm thinking that low-cost subscription is actually not too bad, as long as we're careful that the influx of users doesn't cost more to handle than they bring.

I'm thinking of trying of "flash sale" scenario of users to check what the result would be, but I'm a bit worried I'd burn a week or month of potential income for us.

Any pointers to actual models on this, or anecdotal experience, are all welcome.
> how in computer systems developers will "optimise for the requirement", and ignore anything outside of it.

It’s worth noting that this is a learned behavior which is not natural for many people.

There are plenty of people who will naturally think about a problem in context and want to solve for the problem and not just the metric.

Those people will be slower to satisfy management demands which will be metric driven, and in order to progress in their careers will learn to focus on the requirement and not the problem.
Neither of you is going to be a taxi driver because taxi driving is easier to automate than software engineering.

Part of me is pessimistic about AI programming tools, part of me thinks they’ll only enhance the agency of existing programmers.

Either way taxi driving is probably easier to automate and only requires modifications to Tesla’s self driving tech.

Why the SEC? I would expect this to be more the domain of FBI or NSA or any of the more “cyber”-related three letter manifestations of the executive branch.

Either way, I’m glad government agents are going door to door to check on privately owned servers. Maybe they should check everyone’s vaccination status while they’re at it.
I'd rather get the vaccine multiple times than to be infected multiple times. I don't understand why this is controversial.

I personally do like open floor plans IF everyone is in the office, nobody remote. Though I realize it’s definitely not for everyone, and it’s only a slight preference.

However, in the new world of almost all companies being part remote, part in-office, open floor plans are terrible. You’re on calls constantly, it’s too disruptive to be on them in an open office, and there aren’t enough meeting rooms to snag for calls. If you’re anywhere near half remote, then an open office simply does not work.

I think this new remote-heavy way of working is going to bring walled offices back - it just makes calls with remote employees SOOOOO much easier. And as this article notes, glass walls allow in lots of natural light, really helps eliminate the depressing vibe of traditional walled offices with minimal natural light, while still providing enough of a sound barrier to hop on video calls at your desk.

I'm afraid you're probably correct. I fully support vaccination, am vaccinated and support vaccine mandates. Still, the fact is here in Britain high vaccination rates are not stopping the propagation of the virus. Maybe if we also had a full lockdown as well that combined with vaccination might stop it spreading, but that's not a reasonable policy given the low risk of the virus to the vaccinated population and young people.
I think you’re missing the point here, which isn’t efficiency in activity but efficiency in ease of activity.
My Dad's strategy for survival was: buy lots of canned goods. At the time of the Cuban Missile Crisis he was an RAF V-bomber captain, and when he wasn't on QRA he would rush into our flat in Doncaster, dump tins of beans and rush out again. I was about 9 years old at the time, and didn't really grasp what might be about to happen.

It was all a bit futile really - the base he flew from (Finningley) was then one of the RAF's biggest bases, and would have been smeared as a prime target. Doncaster, around five miles from the base would have been incinerated.

As someone that spent most of his young life living in nuclear bulls-eyes, I do sometimes feel a bit lucky!
Keep in mind that when a company is being sold the buyer is, almost by definition, the most optimistic of all the parties looking at the asset. So Verizon had some big plan where they could make a lot of money out of it. It was... too optimistic.
I have a CPAP machine. Your doctor is telling the truth. If insurance is involved (even if it's a high-deductible plan and you haven't hit the deductible), they typically require the data verifying usage.

You're directing blame at the doctor, but it's the insurance company making the rules, not the doctor.
If it is Chinese companies, then presumably a lot of those devices are in China as well. Wondering whether they might be used to bring down the Great FireWall of China. At least any attempt might force the Chinese government to crack down on the manufacturers to improve device security.
