I think malaria is absolutely worthy of the investment. Malaria is one of those issues that isn't top of the mind for much of the Western world, but is one of the absolute major killers worldwide, right now. It's also relatively a low hanging fruit in terms of return for money spent vs improvements in human well being. Climate Change is a big deal, but is it killing as many people on an annual basis as malaria, with a solution that benefits the majority of people affected for a few billion dollars?
I remember Astaro did this with their Astaro Security Gateway UTM solution. Provide a full featured software appliance for home users and hope the admins are so caught up that they don't want to change to another vendor at work. Astaro got acquired by Sophos in 2011 but I just checked, they still offer the Sophos UTM Gateway in a Home edition.

You can write declarative Infrastructure as Code in a language you’re already familiar with, rather than having to learn (& work around) HCL.

I’ve written a lot of HCL and find myself wanting to extract things into components and put in place abstractions in ways that don’t always jive with how Terraform requires you to do things. Being able to build those abstractions in my favorite language, then have that compile down into declarative IaC… that’s the draw.

I personally use Terraform CDK for this, which is Hashicorp’s answer to Pulumi.

A collection of tools to help you get the media you probably paid too much for anyway but didn't get since Netflix and the rest never got the message that the reason why Spotify works even if it costs more than a CD a month is because everything is there.

As far as I know the decision isn't necessarily final after the initial vote following arguments. A prominent example of this is National Federation of Independent Business v.

They may get better responses, and compliance, if this was instead billed as a pedal detent for “current speed limit please”. The current name just sounds Orwellian.

It might be that just being in pain yourself can lower your empathy. For example your body could raise pain threshold a bit so it's easier for you to suffer your pain which could cause empathetic pain not to register at all.
>almost certainly result in impeachment.

That is awfully optimistic, considering the track record of impeachment in general , and the fact that only one justice has ever faced impeachment and it was over 200 years ago. Not to mention, leaks (as pointed out by the author of this post) are not new, nor are draft opinions protected by any sort of law or classification that would warrant impeachment (that I am aware of, happy to be corrected on this point).

>Furthermore there's almost no reason for any justice to do such a thing.

Some plausible reasoning has been posited here and elsewhere.

Because this isn't about that, this is about their marketing of their TurboTax Free edition
Wishing Intuit were fined out of existence, but a man can dream I guess.
This is the important part of the article:

> Consumers are expected to receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year that they were deceived into paying for filing services. Impacted consumers will automatically receive notices and a check by mail.

It looks like TurboTax is being required to return the money they fraudulently obtained, but they're not even required to pay interest or any additional restitution or punitive damages. It's definitely disappointing and a minor miscarriage of justice.

Edit: Two things I want to clarify from my original comment. First, I wasn't able to find pricing info from the years in question so I went from what I remembered as their lowest pricing tier which I think was $30. Second, I use the term "minor miscarriage of justice" as a comparison to the Sackler BS which was a gross (as in disgusting) miscarriage of justice.

No one has given you a good explanation for why to move to the cloud?

Let me fix that for you! :)

I work for a Fortune 200 company who has their own data centers and has for decades. We just completed the construction of two new data centers about four years ago at a cost of $110 million dollars. Those new data centers are now at 70% of their capacity for power requirements. You should take a look at the specs on Intel's latest server-class processors. It's insane! We're talking half horse power and higher for each processor - and you want blades full of these things and then a rack of those blades and a row of those racks! Data centers now consume more power than industrial manufacturing! Most maddening of all - most of that power is going to go to heat, and guess what? You need giant chiller units to cool the place down. The power costs alone are insane.

You also lose agility. Need a new server? Go to your favorite cloud console and provision it. Better yet, use a serverless architecture and don't even worry about servers! Your own data center? Right now there's a 4-6 month wait time for new servers and storage equipment, and an 8-12 month wait time for networking equipment. Not exactly agile, is it?

You already know you need to staff to manage and patch your servers but you're also going to need staff to procure and manage your software licenses - and those licenses aren't cheap! Don't forget the ongoing tail - you pay for the license and then you get to pay 20% per annum forever after for that license. Those licenses also restrict your agility - you're pressured to use the software that's licensed in order to get better value. Try working with a procurement-based architecture!

You think you're going to avoid the software licensing hell by using open source? Good luck with that! That means you are responsible for the packaging, distribution, and support of whatever it is you're utilizing. That's more staff you need. They will inevitably miss patching some critical vulnerability that's going to land you in the news!

I can go on, and on, and on. But here's one thing I can say about applications that we've moved to the cloud: they cost 30% as much to host in the cloud as they do on-premise, and that's not even accounting for the entirety of all the costs I enumerated above! We have ultimate flexibility and agility, and we can quickly utilize managed open source platforms to solve business problems. On-prem? You lose all of that.

Faster, cheaper, better - that's why people are moving to the cloud.
> The biggest risk that this company has is that Cloudflare (in all reality) should just buy them or reimplement it. It’s the type of product cloudflare would make, that’s for sure.

The same thing is being said on HN about all kind of network software, but tell me one software that Cloudflare is really known for except its cdn ? None.

HN is really a strong echo chamber and some people believe Cloudflare and Stripe are going to be the leader in all software areas. (Even though Cloudflare is not the leading CDN and Stripe is not the leading payment processor). They are both amazing companies but they won't fix all problems of the world. I would even argue that they won't even solve more than their current core domains

Gates has talked about what has motivated him to donate the way he has, its no mystery. He says he was gobsmacked by how little money was devoted to the health problems experienced by poor countries and that comparatively small investments could have enormous impact.

Also, I think you are underestimating how terrible malaria is

> Globally, the World Health Organization estimates that in 2020, 241 million clinical cases of malaria occurred, and 627,000 people died of malaria, most of them children in Africa. Because malaria causes so much illness and death, the disease is a great drain on many national economies. Since many countries with malaria are already among the poorer nations, the disease maintains a vicious cycle of disease and poverty.

https://www.cdc.gov/malaria/about/faqs.html
Or just abandon Income Taxes (57% of US households don't pay any anyway) and embrace Land Value Taxes to fund State and Federal operations. Apply a credit for each child of the owner living in the dwelling to encourage house ownership.

What a bunch of absolute trash. Especially when it's inevitably mandated to be permanently enabled in a few years. Amazing how the EU constantly finds new ways to run their subjects lives.
Well Intuit has tried very hard to prevent that and so far has been successful.

https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-turbotax-20-year-f...
But isn't accounting for risks and having contingencies to minimize their impact part of good engineering practice? Eg. when designing a new rocket, you know that the engines might have issues causing delays, you can't predict exactly what issues but you can estimate how much extra money and time you could lose there.

For instance, as part of their filing for the HLS competition, SpaceX supposedly had around ~400 pages just discussing cryogenic propellant storage and transfer, along with the associated risks and how they would mitigate them.

It's also a bit of a stretch to say NASA isn't taking on risk in fixed price, as they're still paying large sums of money for each agreed upon milestone. The point is that the risk needs to be shared. Cost+ takes away pretty much all of the risk for the company, taking away their incentive to do their best (especially considering that until SpaceX came around and blew the doors open for smaller companies, there were only a handful of competitors who were all basically the same culture wise).
my exact thoughts for past year and a bit. to be fair it was my initial thought about them, and while that probably ain’t main purpose, yet it’s too easy to use them for that

It's not everyone who used TurboTax, just people use use the Free Edition which is what this lawsuit is about.
Pulumi does basically the exact same thing as terraform but in the language of your choice.

We started using it in our company because we noticed that terraform as a separate language was enough of a barrier that it prevented a good deal of our developers from contributing to the infrastructure codebase, creating a separation between 'devs' and 'devops' guys. We switched to Pulumi for a new project, and now basically everybody is contributing to the infrastructure. Which completely changed the dynamic of development for the better. Frankly for us it's been a gamechanger.
It might require 3rd party apps like iconnecthue to configure, but it's been supported for many years on the bulbs.

>"Somehow"

Be more specific. We have it due to government funded projects and subsidies that built the infrastructure that let's people actually use the internet. Then of course there's the tax-funded programs that created the internet in the first place.
Personally I just use Keycloak as the backend(storing the user and group information). I provision it with terraform since I find it easier to use than the webUI.

Ah, I get what you are asking. I think it's far more secure than RDP because the protocols it's based on have learned lessons from RDP.

Here's a document they have about securing Keycloak: https://www.keycloak.org/docs/latest/server_admin/#mitigatin...

I too would be interested to hear from any folks running this software in prod how they deal with securing a public endpoint.
They’re media download managers where you can subscribe to your preferred media, often combined with plex or jellyfin (media servers). There’s Radarr (movies), Sonarr (tv shows), and Prowlarr (torrent/nzb search indexers). There’s also a ‘music’-arr but it’s name is lost on me.
Also more generally Linux is pretty inviting to hack on (though systemd kind of isn't) and the Raspberry Pi is designed to invite that kind of thing too. Even if you don't have a Raspberry Pi at home you can spin up a Linux box for US$5 a month on something like DigitalOcean or Cockbox.
Sorry, it's a typo, it's Pinry.
This is also a nice feature suggestion. Again, it would require that you do not publish (push) your commits until you definitely finished your day's work.

Ok, thanks, I didn't know about that. 2B is a very decent amount of money. But it sounds more a VC that invests in highly risky, but ultimately profitable ventures. Carbon capture doesn't even feature in their wikipedia description (It invests in a variety of startup companies that are attempting to commercialize new concepts such as nuclear fusion, large-capacity batteries to store renewable energy, and microbe-generated biofuels).

My point is, if you're already willing to donate in the billions, why not use that money to literally pay people to find ways to capture the most amount of carbon, regardless of whether that's ever going to be profitable? 2 billion, let alone 50, will pay a lot of smart people's salaries plus expensive equipment for quite some time.

smh, couldn't even read a press release:

>nder the agreement, Intuit will provide restitution to nearly 4.4 million consumers who started using TurboTax’s Free Edition for tax years 2016 through 2018 and were told that they had to pay to file even though they were eligible to file for free using the IRS Free File program offered through TurboTax. Consumers are expected to receive a direct payment of approximately $30 for each year that they were deceived into paying for filing services. Impacted consumers will automatically receive notices and a check by mail.

$30/year per person who shouldn't have paid TurboTax is not nothing.... especially for people who would have qualified for the free filing program. Getting $60 back is a pretty good day for them. That's a days work at minimum wage.
A lot of people here asking "Why is the fine so low, how does this happen!" I recommend reading "The Chickenshit Club: Why the Justice Department Fails to Prosecute Executives"[0] which is obviously a bit broader than just fines, but does touch on the history and current state of things with respect to corporate malfeasance.

One thing that I did not know (too young to be paying close enough attention at the time), but was interesting to me was the backlash from Arthur Andersen collapsing and the resulting loss of jobs as part of the whole Enron scandal. This was at least somewhat blamed on government overreach in going after Enron, even if that wasn't exactly the case, and helped to set the table for quite a slide in standards over time.
