Fine if your sensitive data are infrequently needed in the clear--credit card numbers and the like--but probably not realistic if the sensitive data are part of regular operation. I'll also note that the risk hasn't changed all that much; a compromise of the app server/decryption oracle/etc. having access to the key material is roughly as severe as a compromise of the app server having credentials and network access to the database.
Conscientiousness and adaptability (especially with respect to growth) are the only real qualities that matter.
You still can .... but you can reliably block them
Nah. Splitting up ArcelorMittal is a fucking great idea.

Our competitive landscape is being absolutely choked by anti-competitive behavior, monopoly, and single point of failure problems in supply chains, labor markets, commodities markets, and everything else.

It’s unsafe and bad for society and we should take decisive and aggressive action to stop it.

Instead we’re so accustomed to it and dulled into submission by decades of corporate PR efforts that people will somehow think it makes sense to reflexively advocate for lawless monopolists[0] on message boards in the name of “growth”.

> This. If calls and international calls were acessible, whatsapp wouldnt exist

Whatsapp offers a whole lot more: read receipts, group chats, images and video, voice notes, location sharing, a web client (albeit a quite limited one), and it has a generally pretty good UX/UI (much better than Androids stock messaging app). Regardless of the economics, on a technical level calling/texting isn't competitive with Whatsapp.
I feel it's legitimate to criticize the title for what the title is, regardless of the content of the article.

Shark Game: Heart of Sharkness
I think the most surprising thing to me in these comments is the lack of awareness of how real people in the real world communicate with each other in countries outside of the west.

At the end of the day, Whatsapp is reliable communication infrastructure and it does get used for all sorts of critical things. It's also a backbone for commerce in many parts of the world. Believe it or not, not every country has billions to invest in robust, secure IT infrastructure.
How would they push an update if they couldn’t reach their own network?

My understanding is that if a bad BGP route was pushed and your whole network (typically accessed via VPN while the engineers WFH) is probably unreachable from any of you’re employees’ homes, it’s hard to get the right people on site to make a fix, or talk the remote hands folks at the date center through it over the phone. Troubleshooting is hard, troubleshooting while you have no access to your own network has got to be just that much harder.
Is it really brute force when they had to put a big list of keywords in and make a backronym for whatever combo they happened to find first?
How to Save America – Regime Change #2: start a project NOW to write the plan
> Now create the docker container image.

Right. If everyone downstream of you replicates your exact environment, then they won't see anything out of -Werror that you don't see.

Proof by Docker; QED.

For the rest of us who build programs that have to work with a wide range of compiler and compiler versions, we don't want to create work for the downstream packagers.

I don't want some downstream packaging person to be wasting their time non-productively adding "compiler shut-up patches" over top of my program because their distro is on a newer compiler, and my package drew attention to itself by suddenly failing to build. Or worse: not satisfied with shut-up patches, but they start digging into the failing code, decide that there are real problems and start fixing things, without contacting upstream.

If you take care of your warnings as a matter of habit, then your program builds quietly. When new diagnostics appear in the compiler, they stand out very boldly against your previously quiet build.

Warnings don't break the build for your downstream users; they just render it noisy. When you upgrade your compiler (perhaps due to being tipped off by thoser users), you see the noise too, and you can do something about it. You can do something about it in an official way that is committed to your trunk. The downstream people pick that up, and things are quiet again on their end also.

-Werror can be useful if you inject it into your builds externally, without committing that into the build system that ships with the program, so that other consumers of the program outside of your CI environment aren't impacted by it. It just says that, "for us, in this shop, with the version of the compiler that we have currently installed on our farm, we are treating all warnings as errors (so that changes which introduce warnings cannot pass review)."

Lone FOSS developers working by themselves (or in collaboration with others via patches) don't need that; just the habit of keeping the build clean of all warnings. The commit gatekeeping person builds everything and if they notice warnings, they can push back on the patch; no need for -Werror since a human is involved rather that simple build robot that only goes by the exit status of the build without looking at the output.
Have you thought about doing a beta test for the new software? Really interested to see it.

I assume the main improvement is performance? Actually, I almost never notice a performance issue with HN these days. Today was a rare exception.
What you can make that way is "nonwoven textiles". That's what you get when you run chopped up cloth through a paper machine. Paper money is the classic nonwoven textile. Hospital gowns and such can be made that way. Roof insulation. Floor insulation. Auto seat insulation. Basically, filler materials.
I don't think there's any chance moving most of that machinery on short notice, what with the incredibly small tolerances and clean-room conditions required in that industry. Here [1] is one EUV source. It's the size of a shipping container. The power source is "so large that it has to be placed on a separate floor". And that's just one tiny (but essential) piece of the puzzle. You would have to somehow bundle it up totally airtight, get it to the port, and safely across the ocean through an enemy blockade. Possibly while troops are landing at the beaches, and planes are bombing you.

The personnel seem a bit more possible, though I'm sure China would not be interested in its most economically productive "citizens" fleeing, so it probably wouldn't allow them through a naval blockade either.

Not sure what you mean by "internal needs", but China is currently suffering mass blackout because China banned Australian coal. Seems to me that China puts its domestic politics in front of people's need.

So what exactly is the value of the Class A stocks beyond speculation? In the olden days it was dividends, but it seems most stocks now don’t issue dividends. Then I thought well, it’s the value of selling to a hostile takeover or, when the company is on the defensive, stock buybacks. But with these non-voting shares even that value is taken away.
Well. It leaked, they kept quiet as they always do. We will keep finding the smoking gun forever and they will never admit it.
It was an accident though. Let’s hope they learned their lesson.
Oh really? How many people have been hospitalized or died compared to how many people are alive today?

Assuming you have never faced the above situation (and I pray you don't). It goes something like this:

1. on call nurse txts "its time"

2. you confirm that he/she will initiate a call in 20 mins over whatsapp/viber/messenger

3. The nurse holds up the ipad over your loved one's face

4.
Apple doesn’t provide access to these customers. Maybe a small portion are limited to iOS access for Netflix.

In reality there are many general service platforms that provide access to Netflix in combination with ISPs.

If chrome had a 15% fee to allow users to access websites then I think it would be pretty damaging to innovation on the web.
>> We have beat humans on every single atari game by at least one order of magnitude, and we do that consistently, and it really only took 5 or so years since the first solution that provided tangible results. It has only been 8 or 9 years since GPGPUs were used for ML research.

Actually, only the 57 games in the Aracde Learning Environment, not "every single atari game". It's an impressive achievement and there's no need to oversell it.

> The first one where they say they will take any vaccine recommended by health experts, and not one recommended by a reality TV host known for recommending bleach and hydroxychloroquine as remedies?

The 'reality TV host' was also president of the United States. This is like calling Joe Biden a plagiarizer and not mentioning he is the POTUS. Joe Biden recommended jab #3 before the CDC made a declaration. He even likely affected the CDC decision. You're editorializing here.
They've done this in previous outages and people didn't like it then, either.

Generally big companies don't talk smack about other big companies having internet-wide issues, unless those issues are directly caused by the other company.

For instance, when Google talked about Cloudbleed, which was when Cloudflare vomited millions of secrets all over Google's caching heirarchy and Google had to manually clean it up.

I think perhaps the Cloudflare people have gotten confused and think that means it's okay to talk about other people's stuff. Instead of interpreting it as it really is, which is that Cloudflare is the last company that should be criticizing everyone else, lest someone bring up their previous missteps.
Since you seem to be concerned about nurses in particular, you should know that the majority of nurses are vaccinated and support vaccine mandates [1]. Also note that this article does not specify whether any nurses were fired.

I think you are underestimating the value of being present on the platform that is Apple. I basically only created my Netflix subscription (which I cancelled by now) because it was super easy to sign up on my Apple TV. I probably wouldn't have bothered to do so on a PC.
6 seconds of wait for a 3-second blip still sounds reasonable.

The present value of the asset's free cash flow. Classically, this was distributed via dividends. In modern finance, for all but the largest companies, it's distributed through M&A.
Maybe this underestimates the complexity in setting up these facilities, the time required, and the skills involved.
More like a crossover between Glassdoor... and Gab.
Back to basic : Can you paid offline and not used IAP and still maintain an account so both iOS and android can used your paid system to do say Netflix. If so you cannot argue their pricing … it is apple iap. Or Google iap. You are using their payment system.

If any paid content or game must use their iap and forced to pay … then there is an argument whether the set price is fair. Like is Mac Pro is fair. If you do like it is there any alternative. Given there is two players …

For low end developer …

For high buck developer …

Price discrimination is really a monopoly way to do things. Or tie-in sale. Not sure forcing apple to do it is right.
I think the reason to not follow successful people online is that they did not get successful by following successful people online.

Meaning - they have a big online presence post-success. They use the online presence to bask in their own glory.

But this isn’t just for the sake of basking in ones glory. It is a sort of way for the successful person to leverage their success into more success. A positive feedback loop of sorts.
What do you use for messaging? In my country everyone uses WhatsApp for everything, so that's why I noticed it.
I still remember Cloudflare's PR efforts to downplay Cloudbleed. A key reason why I meticulously avoid using any of their services.
On the other hand, I and my office mate at the time negotiated the setup of a ridiculous number of BGP sessions over email, including sending configs. That was 20 years ago.
Cloudflare are also good at disappearing people from the Internet
Vanity onion domains are usually created via brute force, yes, but it isn't something looked down upon. Heaps of services do this.
Curious about this as well could not find anything on initial searches but I honestly hope so. The one reason I have not grabbed the oculus is because the Facebook requirement.
Oculus customers were only able to play offline games during this time. Which I find concerning. I don't mind that FB employee badges didn't work because what would they do at their desks anyway and all exit doors have bypasses anyway so they can, and were, open, just rank and file employees couldn't access some spaces. Some of those spaces are secure and "fail closed" by design. Yes, its inconvenient but unlocking all the doors to potential terrorists or workplace shooters if the internet connection gets snipped isn't what you want in an office.

What's scary is that my gaming machine can't be used because of some weird obsession with centralizing oculus through facebook. As a customer that's inexcusable but now imagine a developer who hosts her own servers for her game and her customers can't get to it. Facebook is only providing middle-man authentication, its not even hosting these games. If they were hosted by FB it would be fine, but they aren't and what we're suffering under is FB being the gatekeeper to the rest of the internet. That is a scary prospect.

I also question why we all think its acceptable to have these incredible BGP outages every 3-6 months. We built our digital world on the equivalent of ever changing spinning plates and manage it in the most cost-efficient way possible. Maybe the alternative would been worse, but its crazy to me as to what we consider normal and acceptable in capitalist culture.

I'm already seeing /r/oculus say its no different than Valve's scheduled maintenance windows, which is obviously false. Its incredible what rationalizations we'll accept instead of questioning the status quo of capitalist culture and our giant corporations that rule so much of our lives.
In risk management cultures where consequences from failures are much, much higher, the saying goes that “failsafe systems fail by failing to be failsafe”. Explicit accounting for scenarios where the failsafe fails is a requirement. Great truths of the 1960s to be relearned, I guess.

I'm a graduating senior at Olin College of Engineering with a nearly two years of fulltime work experience under my belt. I've built major components and products for venture-funded startups, worked on particle accelerators, and deployed hardware hundreds of feet above the ground on live constructions sites in San Francisco.

My area of interest is software-for-hardware and full stack development that spans the entire stack. I'm looking for a full-time role in either small or big, and I'd be able to provide value extraordinarily quickly. I'd prefer to work with Rust and embedded systems, but can be thrown at C/C++/Python projects just fine.
If you really trust whatsapp to "delete" things, that's probably the problem.
Like the little dialog when you change your video settings.
It's a process I'm familiar with gaming out. For our infrastructure, we need to discuss and update our plan for this from time to time, from 'getting the generator up and running' through to 'accessing credentials when the secret server is not online' and 'configuring network equipment from scratch'.
What an interesting response, do you really think obesity is similar to a contagious virus or are you just grasping at straws to support your ideology?
No... I'm disputing that they are high enough to affect most people.

I would never think that you wouldn't reply to this because you posted a bunch of half-assed links that anyone with half a brain could see where complete garbage, so I can't wait to read your nuanced defence of them.
I guess they are building it now. On top of having a second factory in other places. Slowly though.

Oh, true. I also started hesitatingly following some specialized blogs and forums and that was good for my mental health.

And yep, people very easily miss nuance.
Isn’t it up to investors to decide if the rights of different share classes matter? It’s being fully disclosed.
So the prison study is of tightly packed inmates and shows a high attack rate and bears on infectivity during an oubreak. There is literally nothing in there on onwards transmission from the vaccinated or in contact tracing because it was most likely quite impossible to do.

That study cannot be used to disprove the idea that the unvaccinated inmates all gave the virus to the vaccinated ones. That is almost certainly wrong and there should have been some onwards transmission from the vaccinated, but that sentence is quite literally correct. The study says nothing about it.

Meanwhile I've posted elsewhere:

> Your assertion, on the other hand, seems to be that these low-effort comments are present on all posts – which seems to me to be, if anything, more of a diversion from OP's point of view.

Don't put words in my mouth and this is not what I said. I just see this as an ad hominem attack, ironically diverting the criticism of HN (a factual observation in my view) towards my persons and my ulterior motives.
> This isn't anywhere near the value that AWS provides, despite demanding a much higher premium.

> Apple is wildly delusional on the value that they provide.

For non-Netflix-like services, strongly disagree. A service with no customers means 0 costs required to pay AWS. Say what you want, but sales & distribution is one of the most important, if not THE most important factor of a business.

> They already have the marketing power to force people to subscribe at their website.

Yes, Netflix specifically does, but other developers who leverage Apple's ecosystem? Not so much.

What's interesting here is that other traditional distributor and retailers of goods and services often have negotiated rates. Apple does no such thing - it's rate is fixed (on paper), meaning Apple thinks is distribution is equal in value for all developers - I think this is where the criticism should be.
Noted. Thank you. And for more context, the Volstead Act passed with supermajorities in Congress, enshrining a war-time prohibition (based on war-time powers) that was already in effect. So there were indeed some very strong political dynamics pushing for strict alcohol prohibition, but arguably not enough alone to get from inception to a constitutionally enumerated power. Perhaps the better lesson is that there is no simple narrative.
There was no permanent damage to Facebook as a result of the outage so it's understandable that the stock price wasn't really affected by it
