I think the point was that executives won't have enough technical knowledge to be able to say much about it except in extremely vague terms like "we take security seriously".

In fact, actually having too much of a clue is a probably more of a liability when you're summoned to a meeting at the White House, as you might say something they'll hold you to.
>>partly responsible for why so many devs stay in the same position

That is why I am staying put for the time being; hate the interview process, hate being asked stupid questions about solving problems that I will never have to solve in real life.

Ask me about projects I have worked on, ask me about code I have developed ask about my experience etc - but I am still looking for the development job where I will be required to solve Hanoi's tower problem....

In fact, for the current job I am in got thru the initial interviews and then was told I needed to take online 'skills assessment' test to move forward - I told the interviewer (nicely) 'forget it, I don't want the job if I have to take the test; if my resume and track record isn't enough then maybe this isn't right for me.' (keeping in mind that I have a 30 year track record, not a recent college grad)

Guess the hiring manager agreed, because they hired me anyway (still haven't taken the test).
"To solve this problem I wrote a simple server that runs in the cloud which can handle any number of realtime broadcasts uploaded using a simple curl command. This allows you to essentially broadcast radio feeds with a single line. My solution to the problem of broadcasting audio without port-forwarding was to create a free and public “dummy” server that handles any incoming traffic and forwards to any number of connected clients. This server keeps track of connected clients and routes incoming packets to them, otherwise discarding the packets."

If the author had perhaps titled their post "I wrote a multiplexing server for audio streams" it might go over better, although that doesn't have the proper click-bait appeal.
> But if you are Italy or Canada how popular is a war in Estonia going to be if your citizens are dying?

This is why all the baltic states have multi-country forces in them. Literally small Canadian and Italian forces are in those states, so if there is ever an invasion, those troops will the first casualties that will win the hearts and minds of the rest of NATO countries to defend because of the losses of their own countrymen.
I’ll keep an eye out
At this point, Minitel has become kind of Rorschachtest for france, some see forward engineering, some see decline, some bureaucracy... What's great, is one can project almost anything on it.

(disclosure, i'm french)
The IC50(reported as 24 μg/mL for CBDA against wild type in the live virus assay or 76 μM in more typical units) is far too high to have a relevant effect, you would probably have to use infeasibly large amounts of hemp products (orders of magnitude higher ones). I would not count on cannabinoids to help with preventing or treating sars-cov-2 infections. I expect some pushback against this result in a few days.
Honestly I am really concerned that eventually open computing and the days of a couple of college kids in a garage building a product that turns into a multi-million dollar success, are going to disappear under the guise of security.

I know security is important and I do want companies to do better, but where do we end up if we eventually require that all software that can be run has to be signed by some authority that has vetted it, and you can't run XYZ on your machine because it hasn't gone through the right clearance hoops etc, etc, and I understand that won't be the purpose. But my journey started when I had an old HP that had windows ME on it that barely worked so I ripped it off and installed Ubuntu because I heard from a family friend it would run better, doing that eventually led to a successful long career in computing. I think now about how easy it would now be to move from "you have to disable UEFI Secure Boot option" I went through to get Linux on my latest laptop to "This hardware security chip has detected an unsigned OS attempting to load and will now terminate."

I worry as we continue to lock down things in the name of "security" and make them mandatory, as often happens once the government gets involved will eventually lead to crushing the hacking spirit and kill the joy of computing.

On the other hand maybe I am just waxing nostalgic about a pass that never existed that is telling kids to get off my lawn and about how everyone wore an onion on their belt.
> but there is historical precedent for the bully to be the country that feels threatened.

Not really. Napoleon invasion was a rather silly directed move for a battle, not a war - too much weight on one individual. Great Patriotic War was fought after failure to prevent Hitler from amassing power and nurturing plans to conquer Europe (by Russians) - USSR needn't to repeat Daladier and Chamberlain mistakes, but Stalin had other plans. And since WWII there weren't aggressions against USSR/RF.

> the concern that Germany would become more of a client state than an independent power was not insane with historical hindsight

And after badly failing at war, Germany now is a leading European nation, one of the world leaders. Surely Russia should be relieved regarding falling to client state?

> A Russian strategist might feel threatened because down the line Russia may have depend on its security from either China or a European alliance.

That's a bad strategist, especially if he seeks possibilities only in realm of realpolitik and dismisses long-term trends both in Russia and worldwide.

> But if you think about things like Brexit or some economically undermining policies of MAGA, it seems possible that people -- even in a democracy-- attach more psychic weight to the idea of their nation and its greatness than they do to changes in material prosperity.

It sounds insane to compare the Brexit or the MAGA disaster to a war in Europe. If people attach more psychic weight - which in Russia they don't - what explanations of the position the Russian powers did to deal with that?

How the Great Britain deals with the idea of their nation and its greatness?

How come Russian decision makers avoid straightforward approaches which helped so many others in recent and not so recent past - like in Eastern Europe or among the Asian-Pacific nations? Not wanting to understand the consequences of autocracy does hurt badly - maybe not directly to the autocrat, but to the people for sure.
>They want the USSR back

No, they don't, and I don't understand why people (Americans in particular?) seem to think this. Is it just nostalgia for the first Cold War?
I count English among the 4 I speak, and I rarely have trouble dealing with accents, be they strong French, Arab, Indian, Spanish. But Chinese is often quite difficult for me to follow. Plus British dialects! So I'm sorry to say to you Britons that you're lousy English speakers, as far as I'm concerned ;)

Also, fun fact: Belgians have the same accents in English, no matter if they speak Dutch or French first!
But it is still a proxy for "content that the creator deliberately chooses to make irritating in order to appease the Algorithm Gods" which qualifies such content as "things I don't need more of in my life". Nobody has a gun to their head, forced to making "YouTube Face" thumbnails. "Incentivized" is probably the better word.
Besides re-ingnition, cannot say if it is already established as an official protocol, but I am told that the current practice here (Italy) is to have rescued EV's involved in a non trivial (but not necessarily "severe") crash stay 48 hours in a parking, at least 5 m free on each side of the car, before making any attempt to inspect/repair the vehicle, because of the risk of "delayed" ignition.
Part of their job should be to convey upward feedback. If employees and teams write them good scripts, they should be able to deliver.
Hey if you don't mind I'd love to have you kick the tires -- there aren't any client apps (other than the website itself) right now, but I'll be opening that up soon, got some bits to batten down like audience and registration forms.
As far as I can tell, the copyright mafia's legal action plan is "throw stuff at the wall, see what sticks".

MPA tried to get the source code repository for Nyaa.si removed from GitHub by saying "the Project, which, when downloaded, provides the downloader everything necessary to launch and host a “clone” infringing website identical to Nyaa.si (and, thus, engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows)."

It was completely bullshit since they forgot to mention that the project provides everything necessary to engage in massive infringement of copyrighted motion pictures and television shows EXCEPT the actual copyrighted motion pictures and television shows. The repo is back up after a reversal: https://github.com/nyaadevs/nyaa/
It's free if you're poor, otherwise it's cheap (think 3-5k€ per year).

The European governments didn't distort the market to make universities as grand and expensive as the American ones (where the price raised 1500% since the 80s).

European universities are sad places which get the job done for relatively little money.
You're still spending 3-5+ years of your life though, and that's a currency you can't earn more of.

What went wrong with using your personal phone? Was your provider upset?
So like a restricted subset? That's a really neat idea; you should develop it into a paper or something.

This restricted subset concept has the huge advantage that you can slip out of the harness in a pinch. So you can reuse a relatively developed Float-less Python program in Full Python and later walk back removing floats.

That's really clever. It essentially obviates the whole configuration DSL tango; it also gets people started where the rubber hits the road -- not with syntax and parsing, but with why the DSL exists and what it's supposed to do and not do.
As part of this thought experiment, what policing are being disbanded and what is being done by other policing and government groups to enforce other regulations?

For example, if a town's police system disbanded, but the state police still enforced laws against members of the town preventing them from engaging in their own policing, that creates a different scenario than if the state police didn't enforce any laws against the members of the town acting like the previous police force did. If even the military refuses to touch the area, given a threat that would normally allow the military to act like a foreign invasion, then it is a different situation compared to when you have a lawless area that's still protected from external threats.
> iPhones aren't a "market"

Interestingly, lawyers/regulators can define a "market" any way they want. The courts can decide.

But, while iPhones are part of the "phone market", "iOS Apps" are their own unique market. Probably only a matter of time before regulators think of it that way.
as a follow up, I should add that I'm not advocating for Ukraine to be invaded. War is a racket. I'm advocating for things military alliances like Nato etc to be abandoned in times of peace.
Absolutely.

Nintendo in particular has been experiencing somewhat of a golden age with the Switch. It goes to show you don't need high performance to make fun games.

Really excited to see if the Steam Deck results in a similar boon to PC gaming.
I find he toned down the fanboy aspect a bit. A few years ago, he could have been part of SpaceX marketing department.

He still loves SpaceX, and to be fair, who doesn't. You may not like Elon Musk, his fanboys, the outrageous claims, and the way the company is run, but most of the exciting news in rocketry for the last decade are about SpaceX. But for the last few years, it is clear that he makes some efforts to be impartial and focus on the technical aspects.

And you should watch the videos he made with Elon Musk when he visited SpaceX. I expected little more than an ad for SpaceX, and it turned out surprisingly technical and hype-free.
No one is arguing for just disbanding the police and making no other changes to compensate — that's a strawman.
Can someone explain to me the benefits of limiting the IPs that can SSH into the bastion? It seems to me the main thing that's protecting against are misconfigurations of SSH (accidentally letting root log in with no password or something) or a zero day in SSH but I'm not convinced by either.
With Windows, back in the 2000s: every few days to months, whenever something broke sufficiently that I couldn't figure out how to get the system back to normal. To be fair, I was trying out various tools and techniques to get it "just right", and these would often break things in inscrutable ways.

With Ubuntu, ca. 2004-2014: every six months to a year, because almost every single dist-upgrade would result in a completely broken system (wouldn't boot or wouldn't start X).

With Arch Linux, ca. 2014-2021: never, presumably because each change to the system was small and was installed by a large user base semi-simultaneously, so it was easy to figure out what had gone wrong the few times it did.

With NixOS, 2021-now: none yet, but I'm worried that going back to six-monthly release cycles is going to make each upgrade as unreliable as Ubuntu was. NixOS is in many ways easier to grok than Ubuntu, but I don't yet know the most common failure modes.
Well that's great, but the same authorities that just lied to me are also responsible to ensure safety of these vaccines. They're the same ones who tell me it's "safe and effective". Why would anybody trust them now?

I have this rule that no matter what the video is - if I open it and I hear "hey guys" I immediately close it and remove it from my history. I may even block the channel itself.

Unrelated, I also tend to have to "block channel" a lot after watching a trailer for a movie where I get 10 recommendations for the same trailer on unofficial channels.
Pretty sure it's "afraid to touch it".

Haven't you heard horror stories about complete hackery and shitshow (sometimes not even code, but actual company processes) built around them because fixing it might as well have become impossible?
I wanted to be able to move the applet bar to not the top of the screen, because I have two monitors and I like to spread vscode over two monitors -- top section for code, bottom section for console (for my purposes vscode console is, sadly, strictly better than the builtin linux console because it opportunistically makes IO output that references file:line clickable). I was able to do this in linux mint, but not in PopOS.

But Plausible doesn't send its data to US-controlled cloud infrastructure? By the looks of it, they're using a self-hosted testing environment through a CDN.

This is unique to Plausible itself and not the services they provide for their customers.

Why do you insinuate misbehavior from a competitive company when you don't have actual proof?

You have the URL of a CDN network that is hosted in the US. What you don't have is the proof of this data being stored in the US. Because it is not. Their FAQ pages clearly state that none of the data is ever stored outside of EU.

Last but not least, you entirely missed my point. Plausible is an extremely successful business, do you really believe they would risk their reputation / livelihood without understanding Schrems II or otherwise?

I honestly have nothing else to say mate. But good luck with Fathom. I am sure it will be a great success.

Hey folks I posted this a while back when I had just a small MVP and a had a little bit of feedback from here. It’s my first-ever “SAAS” app built on my own, after years of doing it for others in the agency world .
It’s a small “API-like” tool that lets you easily auto-generate “Link preview” thumbnails (og:image) for your website's pages, based on HTML/CSS templates you provide. This way, when links to your site are shared on the internet, a nice standard picture with relevant information can be shown instead of a generic image or nothing at all.

I cleared some time to work on it in last november and have been building it on my own since. Last 2-3 weeks, holidays got basically cancelled because of the pandemic where I live (Montreal) so I had a lot of free time to work on it, so it’s starting to look pretty good now!

Some of you folks on HN seem pretty experienced, so I’m hoping to get some feedback/roast if you check it out! Do you think it’s a good idea? Does the pricing make sense to you? Would you / not use it? Why?

Thanks so much!
Fair enough. I do think taken together, and the observation that absent Moscow's military support Minsk and new Almaty could have gone quite differently, they would be worrying to someone in Putin's shoes.

Deploying the Russian army to Kazakhstan is much less risky than deploying it in Moscow. A small shift in the balance of power and the guns are aimed at you.

That said, we in the West have a long history of overcomplicating the Kremlin's thinking. Perhaps he is just going senile.
> b) to fullfill the imperialistic need that has been propagandized out of every hole for the last 15+ years

I honestly cannot grasp where does this narrative come from. I live in Russia and read local media and I don't see the idea being pushed. Putin himself once considered USSR disbanding as catastrophic but nothng beyond that.
I really like the concept behind this and the Polyform licenses, but wish there could be more modularization to allow, for example, permissiveness for small businesses but removing allowances for large “non-profit” orgs.

Also, a company offering a source available license might, as it grows, want to raise the employee and revenue thresholds (when you’re making less than a million, a million-dollar company is more of a threat to your business’s survival than when you’re making 50 million).

Edit: one more thing that would be really cool is allowing a “default alternative free software license in case this software is abandoned” clause.
Making rocket engines by metal 3D printing has become popular. A rocket engine bell and combustion chamber has one big rigid part with lots of channels and voids inside. That's the ideal case for 3D printing. Much simpler than building the thing up by machining and welding together many individual parts.

I believe that's the rate for people who seek out a paternity test, which is to say are already suspicious. The overall population nonpaternity rate is about 3%[1].

As an aside, obstetricians often notice nonpaternity because of the child having an impossible blood type for the putative father. The ones I've spoken to prefer to stay silent when they notice it.

lol most people pay money for windows (even against their will if they want to buy a laptop for example) and still get ads and telemetry cranked to the max. What's up with that?

>Android

Another bad example. In a less shitty world where the majority share of the global mobile OS duopoly isn't owned by a glorified surveillance company, the support of a device would be covered by, and only by the sale price of the device. Which wouldn't be such a huge cost if Android better had engineered HAL and better standards so every device could update from the same repo tree.

Understanding a country without knowing the language/culture is an endeavor fraught with failure in my opinion.

"There’s no visible distinction between the window title bar and the body of the window."

Strikes me as a bit amusing, as this was the case also in early versions of GNOME 3. I believe it was abandoned because non-GNOME apps (or more specifically, ones that didn't follow the GNOME HIG) had a visible distinction and greater consistency was desired. Changing GNOME's own look was the way to do so.
