Amazon claims the excuse that their third-party sellers they rely on and contract with to provide goods to attract customers, but I'm not convinced it's valid (as you can probably surmise). Amazon ought to be required to verify the authenticity of products on their site, if only in the first batch.
Well, I actually agree with you to some extent. I've been saying for a long time that everyone is prejudiced in some way. But that is never going to change. Human beings are, by nature, tribal. Even if we do it only on a subconscious level.

To that point, some of the most racist people I know are black people. Growing up as a black person myself in Brooklyn, and hearing it spoken often, I can tell you that there is no one that black people around here dislike more than Jews. It's an irrational kind of hatred based on the normal nonsense "they own all the banks, they own all the property", etc. If you messed up your credit and can't get a loan, it's the Jews fault. If someone gets evicted because they didn't pay their rent for 6 months, its' the Jews fault. That kind of thing. Racism and prejudice exists in all of us.

But you're right, I probably don't really understand how racism works. Because I have never actually experienced real racism. But, to be fair, neither has 99.9% of the people you see on your TV, social media or in the streets screaming about racism because a white person put their hair in dreadlocks or some other such nonsense. What was the most recent one, Drew Barrymore frolicking in the rain was somehow "erasing black people"?

Look, no one denies that there are actual racist people in the world. But the current state of discourse on this topic is a complete joke. REAL racism is largely a thing of the past. The problem is that what people are trying to classify as real racism these days are just wildly over exaggerated claims based on there being a racist boogeyman around every corner.

The truth is that the 'everything is racist' mantra, or the overexaggerated claims of racism, is actually funded and promoted by global elites and politicians who would very much like to create as much division as possible to keep us focused on non-issues like race instead of the fact that every time one of these "crises" occurs, their net income doubles. We are sadly being played as pawns.
There was and still is a large difference between otherwise similar areas/countries that did/didn’t take appropriate measures.
I am from Ukraine and sockets for 220V is slightly different in Soviet and Euro standards. In old houses there are still Soviet ones because it is hard to redo, especially because of very often Soviet sockets use to be part of wall without easy way to disassemble and to set a new standard. But Euro standard is so good that it replaced new standard naturally because both being better and having no Soviet spare plugs and sockets.

I shared this real-world story because it slightly contradicts with your message having the 220V metaphor.

Truth is good and facts are fine, but that isn't a sufficient condition to be using HN as intended. This should be obvious from https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

It isn't a necessary condition, either, because people can be wrong in good faith and that's part of the process of finding the truth.

Rhetorical name-calling isn't true or false though, so I don't think your question really applies in this case.

What people mean by 'true' in the context of political rhetoric is 'I like it'. Liking and truth have little to do with each other—in fact the love of truth has mostly to do with disentangling the two, which is not a particularly common activity, least of all in politics or on the internet.

> The humpback whale, for example, is no longer listed as endangered as of 2022.

I see, so , humpback whale population has just crossed the line of no longer being an endangered species, *this year*. So did they overnight become an environmental pest that is decimating the fish population? I am going to guess you would say no. So I don't think your comment is relevant to the actual point being made. If OTOH you are just applying some factual editing so that my amazing comment can be printed in a newspaper, let's clean up that language sure!
Judging from the fact that the scams persist, you seem to be right.

But anyone with sense can immediately spot the patterns that show these to be scams (e.g. prices that are too good to be true and recent reviews that say these are scams). Therefore, it seems like automated scanning could eventually be tuned to catch and ban these sellers.

I think they also get away with this (and receive some good reviews) because the drives are too slow to ever fill up.

Once Sales and Super Duper On the Go Executives got ahold of the BlackBerry with its decent screen and quite capable keyboard and scroll ball…communication was bound to change. See, they’re too busy and important to read or write long things.

You expect them to scroll down like 7 times for a 3 sentence full paragraph? Odds looking dim.

Containers are great tools that can encapsulate an application and its dependencies, allowing apps to run anywhere in a streamlined way. Some container images contain commands to start a long-lived binary, whereas others may simply contain data that needs to be available in the environment (for example, a Kubernetes cluster). For example, operator-framework bundles and crossplane packages both use container images to store Kubernetes manifests. These manifests are unpacked on-cluster and made available to end users.

One of the downsides of using container images to store data is that they are necessarily opaque. There's no way to quickly tell what's inside the image, although the hash digest is useful in seeing whether the image has changed from a previous version. The options are to use docker cp or something similar using podman or containerd.

Using docker cp by itself can be cumbersome. Say you have a remote image somewhere in a registry. You have to pull the image, create a container from that image, and only then run docker cp <container-id> using an unintuitive syntax for selecting what should be copied to the local filesystem.

dcp is a simple binary that attempts to simplify this workflow. A user can simply say dcp <image-name> and it can extract the contents of that image onto the local filesystem. It can also just print the contents of the image to stdout, and not create any local files.

Ask HN: Which Container Orchestrator are you using?
The title says it all.

I am interested in which Container Orchestrator you are using and on what platform.

For example, I have seen a lot of buzz around Hashicorp Nomad - I'd like to hear about real "war-stories" as I mostly ever see cookie cutter tutorials online.

To the k8s folk - Are you really using selfhosted Kubernetes? I see a lot of people recommending k8s but have the feeling that a lot of people (rightfully) use managed Kubernetes to avoid the headaches.

Are you still on Docker Swarm? What made you stick with it? Simplicity? What are the biggest pain points you are facing?

Also, I am interested in whether you are doing this on bare metal, managed hardware, cloud vms, etc.

The only conceivable reason GoDaddy would entertain the idea is that the gross incompetence and negligence of a single individual has created such an immense liability for millions of users. And single individuals creating immense liabilities for millions of users seems to be par for the course for web3. Really nothing new.
Just like you can use my nameserver instead of cloudflare or google. The question is, do you trust me?

I think the problem people are calling out is that the system’s web2 bridge heavily depends on a centralized trust point. It’s not damning but you have to admit it’s somewhat comical.
Yep that’s exactly what I mean by dog fooding it.

As a user, I wish the web gave designers less freedom.

I don’t care about design trends or “calming” the web down. I want to see as much information as can fit on screen at once, especially with sites and apps I use regularly. No superfluous UI animations either, please.

You make great points about the need for customization and the boundaries of solutions that aren't based on Dockerfiles. Our approach to that problem is twofold, though both parts are still only in the planning stage:

* eventually providing an 'eject' mechanism to create the matching Dockerfile for a given project. this serves as a basis for any customization you might need, as well as a base language that many existing tools can understand.

* making it easy to include arbitrary image layers by reference in your container through a syntax like `<ContainerLayer Include="<layer SHA ref>" />`. This makes it easy to grab already-built components and inject them into your build.

I entirely agree with your summary. More choices, but all built on the same standard foundation :)

Why does this domain get special treatment. If Google forget to register google.com should their registrar renew it out of the good of their hearts?
If you don’t care about color, then it doesn’t matter.

If you do care, as most professionals should, it matters greatly. RGB and CMYK have extremely different gamuts of reproduction, not even counting what your output medium is capable of rendering (whether that’s your display range or your ink+surface range)
Dude I've played clarinet for literally a decade (and a few years of saxophone). Anyone who's even a moderately talented amateur can bend notes enough to bend your note out of equal temperament. Sure you don't do this for anything fast, but if you have a longer chord this is a very common technique.
Following this comment, I think the answer lies in the question.

Stop ‘wasting’ time as you see it.

Keep it simple, and it will be easier for you to stay on your chosen path.

Now for a bit of advise from an older man who ‘wasted’ his youth. Life will give you challenges, and consider carefully how far away from the tree you strive. There is hidden jeopardy in the unknown. Who can you turn to in times of crisis? Who can you trust? To whose advice will you listen? So, make peace at home and with your loved ones first before you take on the world outside.
Digitization, colourization, audio resampling, and other computer-based treatments of original recordings have taken over as restoration techniques from what are now archaic analogue-based techniques.
That is the intended reading, but it just seems wrong. The sentence parses to me to the components "[if] [something] [seems] [too good to be true], [it] [isn't]", so [isn't] has to apply to [too good to be true].
Engineers continually discount the importance of usability.

The easy applications to convert to open source are those that the developer of the application is the user of the application. The easiest example is Bitkeeper to GIT conversion. The person who wrote GIT is the same person who used Bitkeeper. Therefore he knew what would be usable for a developer.

GIMP vs Blender is the counter example. Both GIMP and Blender are targeted at artists and not developers. The author assumes the awesomeness of Blender is inevitable. But GIMP is pretty bad and shows no evidence that it is getting better. Yet - when major animation studios decided to adopt Blender they dedicated UX resources to Blender to make it more usable for artists.

When the developer is not the user, you need that extra step.

This is interesting but I’m curious, how much use would something like this get?

Forget a paid product or any sort of licensing requirements:

If someone were to create a DocHub that treated docx files like txt files and had a plugin for word/OpenOffice used a really nice interface on top of git and came up with a way to intelligently represent styling changes (which git doesn’t because it only deals in txt.)

Would this sorta tool get enough use to justify maintenance? This feels like a niche within a niche.

There are some problems with DisplayPort monitors, so when the screen goes off by Windows command, they will never resume after the input. You have to manually plug and unplug the monitors (either a power cord or DP cord) in order to enable them in the system again.

DDC/CI support for DP devices is partial in most of the cases. For example, my AOC monitors lack an "Off" command, only "HardOff", which disables the monitor completely.

Your explanations for why employees at an early stage startup might care about upcoming business deals seem to be missing the obvious one to me, that you’ve employed people who are thinking about the business as a whole rather than their tiny slice of the picture. The single most vital thing in an early stage startup is acquiring customers, and these deals are how that’s done, why wouldn’t one of seven employees at the company want to know about how the business is doing?

I’d go far as to say if early stage employees aren’t engaging with every part of the business you’ve employed the wrong people because at that stage of the game there isn’t space for people who just sit in their box and don’t venture out of it.
The same feeling I had with the car: to go to my girlfriend's house, I have to drive for 40 minutes.
I've always driven that 40 minutes at full 130 km/h speed, stressing about traffic and jumping from lane to lane.
Once I decided to drive differently in the slowest lane, enjoying the ride with a nice podcast, not worrying about the traffic and with an average speed of 110km/h.
The result was that I really enjoyed the ride and it took me ~43 minutes.

It’s relative to how much money you have already. A quick search for “Cory doctorow net worth” suggests he is well-off enough to be able to turn that down.

I doubt there's a single reason for the staying power of proprietary software, that explains all of the examples. But here are some of my thoughts:

1. Really sweating the details of the UI, and managing the vast number of edge cases that users are uncannily able to discover, takes an army of programmers doing work that they only enjoy well enough to do it for a lot of money.

2. Not knowing what the software is used for gives the incumbent an advantage. They don't need to know -- just keep making the same thing, which is mainly what the user wants. Until they try to design Version 2, god help them. Anybody else is stuck replicating all of the incumbent's features. Programming tools don't have this problem because users can implement their own features.

3. The economics have to make sense. I don't pay for my annual subscription to <specialized technical software>, and it's chump change for my employer. A workshop that tries to cheap out on CAD will lose their designers.

4. A lot of software flies below the radar. I've never seen any of my employer's software products mentioned on HN, yet we're quite a big company.

5. Software tied to other stuff, such as hardware, databases (and data), etc. That stuff is effectively a dongle.
The ICANN Expired Domain Deletion Policy allows a registrar to renew a registration without any action from the registrant in "extenuating circumstances." If they wanted to, they could maybe do it under this exception, but there's no real reason why GoDaddy would stick their neck out here.
No, I meant that any good domain is bought by godaddy so they can park it and sell it for exorbitant prices.

They are not actually used, just parked.
The pedant wrote the same article from the concept of ancient rome. What's interesting is that the industrial revolution didn't start in europe... it started in Britain and then spread to wider europe. Which is funny as the author completely skips over britain when it mentions the founding of the industrial(Machine) revolution.

tldr; There is a long list of requirements and prerequirements for a machine revolution to occur. The industrial revolution was not inevitable.

They won't care unless there are regulations making it possible to cost them money if they don't act. E.g. if they were required to pay a reasonably small statutory fee on top of the refund when refunding a fraudulent product they'd need to start addressing it, or lists of products would quickly spread online and cause them massive losses.
