Awesome! I see there's mentions of it on the website, but I don't see how to do it via the dashboard UI and there's not much in the docs about it. Wrote to support, would be nice to try this out.
Ok, we've put that in the title above. Thanks!

Doesn’t the thread say that there is nowhere to unload containers to, even if there was labor? That seems like what’s causing the truck shortage - it’s not a truck shortage, it’s an empty truck shortage.
I remember that, I believe the Intel plant in AZ recycles/will recycle 95% of the water it uses
This site is likely to leak user data just like many before it.

If the Republicans are for free anonymous speech, why don't they host Tor servers, write a simple web site instead of a hack and tell all users to use Tor?
One thing I've noted is all the queer meme accounts I follow get regularly banned with shite moderation on FB apps while Twitter openly welcomes OnlyFans promo posts.
I think a lot of people miss this. I grew up half a generation after him, so I got into computers by tinkering with Commodore Log, GWBasic and later C++/Allegro. But the next generation after that was of a huge amount of kids doing mods for Quake, Doom and the like. It opened the doors in an accessible way to computing for a lot of people.
Ive implemented a text editor with screen reader support using the html canvas element. Every graphics interface is just a canvas, what is sent to the screen is just data. The nice thing with html is that the data is human readable.
> To be clear, I agree with most of what you've said and overall critique of the specific article in the OP. But I want to point out that ‘why Linux’ as a genre or topic is not just flamebait, and that there are other articles along those lines that I think have a legitimate place on HN or any forum where people are interested in people's experiences with computers.

This is totally fair and I wouldn’t want to imply otherwise. My issues are with this article and the others of its ilk, but not the general genre of content.

And you make good points about “use whatever you want” being an uninteresting meme too.

And you make excellent points about the evangelism phase (which I think we both agree, this article isn’t indicative of, tho I imagine the person who shared it might be in that wonderful phase themselves), which is definitely important. As a longtime Mac user, we have that phase too (also, the fact that I still primarily identify as a Mac user even tho I’ve been using Linux since 1998, even if primarily on the server (I still distro hop like a mofo all the damn time tho), speaks to those cultural artifacts you mention that just stick with us), and Mac users are just as obnoxious as Linux users but in a different way.

I truly have come to a place where I want people to enjoy what they enjoy and share that. I’m just exhausted by the evangelism and fierce defensiveness by any sect. But I’m definitely guilty of it too (she says as she types away at 100 words a minute on her iPhone that she is slavishly devoted to).
That's... pretty laughable. A worker-owned business would get together to determine what an acceptable and transparent comp scheme would be. Instead the drivers rebel all the time against corporate's intransigent and blatantly-exploitative shenanigans. Hint: it's not because the company sees its workforce as people. If you think there's a viable way to get from here to there, well, I think I can get Bezos to sell you a bridge, on Amazon of course. And we... mostly don't care because who cares about the people who run our cabs, and if they succeed it means ubers are more expensive for us.

Sigh, sometimes I regret being a liberal rather than a leftist, because I can see all the complaints they have about us. I think I'm really done now, I've heard enough. In a nutshell, it's easy to defend the existing order when we're the one's benefiting from it.
I'm still not clear on what the PAKE is doing here, or what's being decrypted where. The problem with a PAKE between clients and servers, especially if based on the same password as the root secret for your system, is that it depends on storing a password-derived verifier on the server. That's almost never OK!
neat. it comes across to me like a 1 dimensional automata (2d if you count time), each frame of the video being some transformed shift of the previous. Then the cuts between scenes become very obvious.

On the meta side: Vimeo has always done a better job of not compressing high-entropy-art to a garbled blur than other video sites.

I am, but also on a small startup. I think any larger organization will be more worried about the risks mentioned in the comments of this Ask HN that I posted recently: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28898198

My experience is that the sweet spot is a small organization that embraces global remote and don’t care much about hiring contractors full time, but not actively look for outside of US candidates.

Medium to large companies neither want to establish presence in other countries nor hire contractors full time.

Very large companies do not hire contractors full time but might establish presence in a few selected countries (paying local rates mostly). Stripe seems an exception that created that “remote hub” that would hire anywhere.

Small startups that actively look for full time contractors outside the US usually pay just slightly above the local market rate (they are hoping to get the margin of the salary arbitrage for themselves).

So,small startups that explicitly hire remote, but mostly advertise they jobs to American audience, but are open to hire remote globally. “Who is hiring” thread seems a good place to find those (by filtering out all the ”Remote(US)” ones)
They really don't need to. They are kicking people out of their homes because of a law that shouldn't exist. They could just not prioritize it and free up resources for other crimes.
I work for a small(ish) US company here in Iceland as a full time employee. And sometime prior to that I worked for Autodesk also as a full time employee for a small satellite office here after a startup was aquired.

You sound like you have a dog in this fight.
That's one take on it, and I've heard the maintainer of mastodon share similar sentiments. I disagree because as long as the servers are all interoperable and people can communicate across them they can never actually become silos.

An architectural feature of a federated system is that people congregate on servers together for whatever reasons they have. Communities are an emergent part of this architecture whether we like it or not, and this can be used to create a positive user experience that you cannot truly get on centralized services. What we wind up with is a network of communities that interact with one another, not as some people envision a network of superfluous servers that humans use simply to interact with one another, and this is unavoidable in a federated system like this. If we do want a network where the servers are meaningless to the social interaction it has to be fully peer to peer.
These examples definitely leave medical traces though
Ok, but you do understand that these are not arguments, they are worries?

And you realize that there has been historically effort and money going into those exact fears being propagated and ingrained in the US worker's mind, because of strong anti-union company practices.

So that leaves us in a very weird place, where the pros and cons of unions become beliefs and opinions, but it should very much be something one can properly analyse from real data.
Hey, I appreciate both of your advice. I have some usable features that work great on my dev environment, so now I'm mostly working on getting things reliably working in the cloud.
Yes, a police officer is considered an officer of the court [1]. His exposure to consequences for lying is higher than the average citizen under oath. Given two conflicting statements that cannot be resolved with evidence, it isn't a surprise that the judge is going to defer to the cop.

Correct.

They also are not entitled to the code unless it's been modified.

But this is the license and reality, not what HN makes up in their heads, two very different things.

Also extremely common in Myanmar and much of Africa. It is literally considered the WORLD reserve currency.

The more turmoil in economies abroad, the more USD is in demand to replace failing currencies.

Turkey is a great example - people were paying a premium on USD just to get their savings out of Turkish Lira a couple years ago.
If "all" of your data is being held to ransom and that will tank your company then you are a bad businessperson and deserve whatever you get.

Right now it's apparently cheaper to pay a ransom than it is to implement sane security and backup procedures. That needs to end.
> It seems like you're saying that SRP is OK as long as you don't use SRP, but rather a modern PAKE, and then call it SRP.

No, that is not what I'm saying. The SRP paper says "Use a hash function to hash the password". When SRP was new, that might plausibly have been MD5, and if not, then probably something else like SHA-1 that is now unsafe. I'm saying, in 2021 use a hash function that doesn't suck for hashing passwords, like bcrypt or argon.

> You're certainly not correct that the article is saying SRP is flawed because it "relies on the discrete log problem", as ECDLP-based PAKEs are also vulnerable to QC.

Hmm good point. I must have interpreted the whole "Quantum annoyance" thing too strongly then.
I've met (and worked with) people who built something, and were looking for someone to sell it.

The unfortunate truth is that this usually doesn't work because of two reasons:

1) If you can't convince anybody to buy your product, you also won't be able to convince anybody to sell your product. You need to be able to at least sell your idea to the cofounder.

2) If you've never tried selling your product, and have never interacted with your customers, chances are that what you built doesn't solve anybodys problem. I've never seen a successful product that was a hit right away without any user testing and iteration based on user feedback, but some people are convinced their product is different.
Yes we’re in stealth, so there is little to be said on details.

I can say that I’m a big fan of K. Eric Drexlers work and that you should read it if you want to know what the future will look like.
> most of people on HN are ancap or fascists

This sort of generalization is notoriously unreliable and subject to cognitive bias. People are far more likely to notice what they dislike, and to weight it more heavily. This produces false feelings of generality:

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

That's why users with opposing views to yours make the opposite generalization [1]. It's not that HN is any different—they simply dislike different things. This is one of the most reliable phenomena I've seen on HN. It's so reliable that one can accurately predict people's politics (or other preferences) simply by flipping a bit on the generalizations they make.

Don’t you mean 8 months? In Illinois you can only be sentenced to less than a year in county jail unless you are awaiting trial in which case 8 years seems a bit much.

The law is a bit complicated. I did give up my password when they threatened my wife. The judge ruled they obtained my password by coercion so they weren't permitted to use it. But then they came forward and said they would have eventually cracked my encryption anyway as they can crack 2048-bit AES easily, and even if they couldn't have cracked the encryption they would have unsoldered the chips (which chips?) and put them in another device and got access that way. The judge said in that case you can use the password you got through coercion because you would have got in anyway. That is allowed by the law, in the USA at least.
If it was that easy, https://blog.waleedkhan.name/git-undo/ wouldn't be a thing.
Apple drags its feet on iOS Safari very deliberately. Supporting advanced web APIs on iOS would mean providing an open, non-monetizable alternative to the App Store platform for users and developers.

And yet, Safari's market share on mobile is significant enough that we can't just ignore it. Thus, Apple holds back the entire web. Apple's conflict of interest is plain to see, and IMHO their hand should be forced by regulation.
Except that we are not talking about a political club. We are not talking about an external group that imposes itself on the workers. Unions are formed by workers, the leaders are elected by the workers and drawn from the workforce, and unions serve the purpose of negotiating employment terms for the workers.

If you would rather have an argument about political clubs go find a forum where it is not wildly off-topic...

You need to make sure someone continues pinning the data for it to exist on the network. You need to create the right financial incentives for that to happen, which is what Filecoin is supposed to solve.
I noticed that Virgil got the arctic code vault badge, and thought it was funny, but I never checked what the conditions or criteria were. So I looked.

> The snapshot consists of the HEAD of the default branch of each repository, minus any binaries larger than 100KB in size. (Repos with 250+ stars retained their binaries.) Each was packaged as a single TAR file.

Virgil bootstraps from compiler binaries checked into the repo--there is literally no other way to get a PL off the ground without a compiler or interpreter binary in some language another computer understands--so I guess the archive has a completely useless source-only copy. That is, unless future historians want to write a new interpreter in order to run the source that's checked in :D

>It can be difficult to distinguish between difficulty that's inherent to the problem, and difficulty that's only due to limitations of the tools that you know.

This distinction does not exist. Any difficulty apparently inherent to the problem can be addressed by new tools. We do not do this all the time because some issues are one off, and designing a tool(/any automation) for it would be time consuming.
Every available chassis and inch of yard space is filled with empty containers. Maybe the labor deficit is in the production of exportable goods that would turn the empty containers into full containers on their way out of the docks.

There's an ongoing world wide (minus some regions) container shortage going on at the same time.

Only "someone"? Not "several someones"?

The article talks about one such group. I'd be astonished if they were the only one. Telecommunications is too high-value a target for there to be only one attacker.
Is it not stupid that someone's sins should stain every single unrelated thing they've ever done? What kind of moral fascism is it where the person must be good and holy in order to not invalidate every single thing someone has made?

Same thing could be said about ReiserFS... a technical achievement completely disregarded because the creator murdered his wife.

The idea that a creation or an idea is tainted by its creators sins has no basis in physical reality and exists solely in the minds of humans.
I don't understand the obsession with the 'pain-free' death. Surely the animal feels something in all slaughter methods, and either way it's getting killed and eaten. Frankly unless you have even been slaughtered by a Jewish butcher, how can you truly judge how much pain the animal feels?

Besides, most people have experienced a cut by a sharp edge where they don't feel pain or even realize they are bleeding for some time. This is actually a goal of Jewish and Halal butchering methods. And frankly, I'm not sure attempting to perform some 'pain-free' slaughter via impersonal machine is more humane than having another sentient being in close proximity to the animal perform the act. Modern factory slaughter is humane in the same sense a drone strike is humane.

They seem to be economists too [1] and it seems like he's deferring to them. I haven't read their work but the way Cory presented it makes it sound like it's just basic Machiavellian realism[2] applied to economics and if that's all it is then I'm all in. Is there something specific you didn't like or just that the theory isn't presently popular among economists? What's your alternative story of what happened here? I'm not sure how intellectual property and patent litigation would conflict with what he's saying.

This requires the assumption that storage will continue to exponentially (or at the very least, linearly) decrease in cost. It also requires a certain amount of good luck. I would hope the IA has a reasonable amount of data resilience, but you never know.

500 years ago, the USA didn't exist.

I'd be disinclined to rely on the internet surviving for more than another hundred years; too many influential people would like it to disappear.

I don't really know who my ancestors were, 500 years ago, despite my father researching his ancestry for a decade. I certainly don't know what they might have written down.

If my ancient ancestor had invested 1M in preserving his thoughts, I think I would regard him as incredibly vain, to think I wouldn't prefer the cash over the chance to read his personal page.
Is helicopter money a term for additional spending?
Not sure. There was no error reported, just a "waiting" message, with no "run" created.

i'm not sure I have any ID's to give to those API calls. Would have preferred something from the web UI.

I just went ahead and created new commits for them all. (Create an empty commit, or --amend to re-commit the last commit with a new timestamp).

Would prefer if there were an easier way to do it, but fighting with http API's I am not familiar with when they aren't immediately apparent and I'm not sure they'll work at all was not that easier way.
As entertaining as this is, I have a bit more faith in archive.org.
Yes, pay the hosting fees upfront for 500 years.
That kind of thing makes indexing a nightmare but it's not any more difficult to archive than .exe or .swf files. Sure you need a "player" but that's true of PDF and OOXML and people don't really complain about those.
> which is operated by the US military with an annual budget of roughly $1B -- and we can all use it for free.

Non-Americans, yes, but Americans pay taxes to use it. In fact, if you replaced tax-funded model with, say, a markup on each receiver, Americans would pay less than they already do, and only those that use it would pay for it. I find both of these things beneficial.

> Had the US not provided for civilian access to GPS, and instead there were several competing private systems, they would all be worse

Why, though? Why would they be worse? Typically, when you have even two competitors, the quality is improved.

> and every application which is today based on GPS would have an additional monthly fee to access whichever private constellation that application had built around.

You are lacking imagination. It’s like saying that if government stops providing internet connectivity for free, every application accessing the internet will charge monthly fee. Alas, government does not provide free internet, but nevertheless, apps don’t charge consumers for ingress/egress.

As it happens, businesses are pretty good at coming up with business models convenient to users. Google could, for example, easily cover the entire cost of GPS completely on its own, and offer free Google Maps, which would easily outcompete other map apps if they charged money for use. Considering how much they pay for being default search engine on Apple, $1B is a pittance.
