> And, what, undo capitalism?

No, they just have to make following a safety culture less expensive than not. For example, by conducting proper audits. If not following safety requirements means that new planes are not certified and the others get grounded before it is fixed, then it is going to get more costly for Boeing than doing it right to begin with.

That's what regulations are for.

And undermining quality is often not profitable. That's because their customers also want to maximize their profits, and a bad plane, one that doesn't last, requires frequent repairs, is unreliable, has a bad reputation with passengers, etc... isn't going to be very valuable. Customers will pay more for a good plane that offers better returns on investment. This is the same for any B2B company. Consumers are a bit easier to fool, especially with good advertising (which is also expensive), but at some point, they too will realize that a brand is worthless.
Actually, I was able to get to the Nature article through my library. I had thought the material in quotes was Miller paraphrasing. In fact, he's quoting from two separated points in the article but has changed the punctuation. The original used a colon.

I think in the context of writing about how a writer uses punctuation, these choices are significant.

Which ones are compatible with GitHub actions? To me that is the most important aspect. So much is done with those and I really don't want to relearn.
I guess my father was just lucky, because 1m through the wall from our oil cellar we had an old well that could be used, so there was no need for much more digging (except 1m sidways).

He added a ton of solar as well, which is a nice combination.
One of the biggest companies puts out a program that does not work. The stock reflects that. And yet this comment is about privilege? Are you serious?
> It means the principles that constrain how governments engage with society (e.g. free speech in the public square) should also constrain how these new government-sized institutions engage with society

I think you're missing the distinction between public and private entities.

We constrain governments because they have a defacto monoploy by law and by definition. This means there are no alternatives. Additionally, our government is granted power through its citizens, not vise versa. Rights are negative meaning the government doesn't let us say what we want, the government isn't allowed to prevent us from saying what we want.

The fact that a company is large in employees or has many users shouldn't impact its ability to moderate. Forcing private companies to not moderate in the name of the public good would be a 5A violation: seizure of private property for public use. It is different if you uniformly rescind 230, but then you kill all third party commentary on the web in general. Look at Craigslist's response to fosta/sosta, for example.

> e.g. private companies shouldn't be able to do widespread content scanning of private data that would be illegal for the government to

The government isn't allowed to do this because the Constitution forbids it. Private companies can only get your data if you transact with them.

That transact line is usually blured on the web, but there are defensive measures one can take to help evade them. The simplest of them is to choose not to use a business or service.

I don't have a meta account. I don't have a tiktok or X. In fact, I have a HN, lobsters, and Blur Dwarf account. That's it. So easy to opt out of what concerns you. Additionally, I run both clearnet domains and hidden services. While what I say on the clearnet may get me kicked off a domain registrar, that can't happen on the government-invented-and-implemented tor.

You're baking in a lot of assumptions in the statement "profitable overall". I take it that you mean "benefits society in a way that more than makes up for its cost" but a private company doesn't care, they naturally want immediate or (relatively) short-term profits. A country's first trans-national railway is naturally almost always a net benefit, to take an example, but it's too expensive for the private sector to build alone and almost certainly wouldn't be properly profitable for decades until the infrastructure grows around it.

Some infrastructure or public service building also facilitates something else indirectly, or over a long enough time that it wouldn't feature into any direct calculus. The same goes for services. And how does one quantify this "profitable overall" requirement? This is why big projects are often ultimately a political choice, lambasted by businesses and economists, which often (but not always) are greatly appreciated in hindsight. That shouldn't be carte blanche for people to go out and spend tax money, but it illustrates a certain dilemma.
When people have to read and implement "5 pillars" or "cloud adoption frameworks" before start using cloud, learning stuff like hosting with hetzner or self hosting start to seems like comparatively easy and simple.
"70 year old judge who asks his grandkids to help set up his iPhone" (it was 60 when I replied) is not a criticism of the legal profession, it's a jibe based on age. That is: ageism.

Considering there is very little substance to the comment as a whole and that this is almost all there is to the comment, I'm not inclined to bend over backwards to give a good faith interpretation. It would be different if that comment was part of a more substantial comment. I'm not one to nitpick jibes or off-hand remarks, but in this case that's really all that was said.
Thanks dang. This was one of the most important posts on HN for me since inception, and prompted my own immediate migration away from Netlify hosting[1]. I would hazard a guess that there are many Netlify users on HN, and becoming aware of the unlimited billing exposure (as well as Netlify's official policy (such as it is)) makes for important reading.

No this all happened in preprod. Every team in the growth space ran their own tests across the various permutations of users (country, payment type, plan, ... at the time free trial, feature flags) to determine if their code was valid and worked to go to production. Each team continuously deployed independently. Given that we also were continuously integrating as well... you get a lot of customers created.

Sorry no talks.
Sounded like "for jail" to me.
And this isn't limited to aerospace. My wife has spent a career in pharma (drug save & pharmacovigilance specifically) and it's the same way there. People complain about rigidity and sluggishness in these industries but there absolutely is an ingrained attitude of documentation and process compliance that pervades. At one point -- and this was just last year -- my wife took over running a monthly safety report that involves manipulating a bunch of data in Excel. Even that has a 9 page instruction guide, and since she now owns the output she also owns maintaining the manual.

Too often in the land of software we underestimate the potential negative impact the traditional "move fast and break things" approach to product development can have when it comes to real world use in mission critical systems.

> Google did exactly what prevailing cultural attitudes demanded it do

But the “prevailing cultural attitudes” don’t demand that—as evidenced by the mockery at Gemini’s expense. One of the highest rated shows on TV right now is “Young Sheldon,” where every single character is a white southerner. That’s a spin-off of Big Bang Theory, which reached #1 in its timeslot, in which every character except the token Indian was white. And how many Asians do you see on Univision? It’s a very small portion of the public that’s clamoring for contrived scenes where there’s one white, one Latino, one black person, and one Asian around a dinner table.
Anyone have suggestions on a good free alternative as well?
> What Netlify is doing here is really the best approach for both parties.

Sort of, but the approach to the approach isn't great. If you're going to void charges from DDOS traffic anyway, you might as well make that explicit policy, rather than doing it after the fact in a way that seems discretionary.

The Reddit thread is full of people who are saying that they intend to pull their static content off of Netlify and move it to Cloudflare Pages, which has no overages on the free tier in the first place. I can tell you that I personally chose Cloudflare Pages to set up a new static site a couple of weeks ago, and Netlify wasn't even in the running.

If Netlify's free tier is important to their customer acquisition strategy, then they really need to retool how they're offering it, or Cloudflare is going to eat their lunch.
I’m so confused by these things, setting up a Linux box with nginx isn’t that hard. It takes maybe a day to do, and while doing it you really understand better how your server works. The first time might take you 5 days to go through some tutorials, but generally after that it’s less than 1 day of work.

For me personally I really want to know what is going on in each folder and keep track of new folders, files etc. It’s maybe my paranoia of hacking. Context; when I was a kid I hacked so many things and knowing where the files are kept and hiding them is a key part of hacking. Therefore it’s always been a priority for me to check in regularly see what’s happening.
potato potato, literally the same thing
You're apparently in a good place so looking back is your path to your joyful present. I'm in a bad place so looking back is my seeing back when I was still hopeful for my various life goals. I'd meet someone and have someone to share my life with, do activities with, travel with, raise kids with, etc. I never met that person and now at 60+ that's nearly impossible so looking back hurts. It hurts a-lot. Seeing the opportunities I missed, the time I squandered, the naiveté that "it will happen when it happens" etc.. I absolutely want to strangle Google/Apple/Facebook when they shove "memories" in my face. I didn't ask for it, piss off!

As for the topic itself. The obvious reason time passes faster when we're older to me is that each day is less of my life. At 1 week old a day is 1/7th of my entire existence. At 60 one day would be 1/22000th of my life.

I also feel it in terms of time left. When you have $1000 in your wallet, splurging on a $50 meal might seem fine. When you've got $75 in your wallet you're unlikely to blow $50 of it on a meal (unless you've got a supply elsewhere). In the same way, when I've have got 20yrs left in my life, some of them probably not in the best of health, then committing 10 of them to move to a foreign country to immerse myself in a new language feels very different than when I've got 60 years left (20yrs old). Seeing your life left clock go down 1/60th (1yr at 20yrs old) feels slower than seeing it go down 1/20th (1yr at 60yrs old). that's 3x faster.

How often do people break a TOS? I’m not sure that’s a problem normal people should worry about. There’s always a TOS, whether it’s at the email service or the ISP or the data center.
There are probably already IDE integrations so you can make Jira-like strings clickable to the appropriate task, or show a tooltip to hover.

It doesn't even need fucking AI, just regexp and just a configuration, e.g. if your Jira project is called NAI, any word that has the format NAI-[0-9]* should be such a link to https://jira.lookatmenotusingfancyai.com/task/NAI-xx

Edit: then again, Jira tasks can end up being a place for long discussions. If the AI can summarize the end-result/the decisions taken, it would be useful.. but also as a Jira plugin.
The vibe I get from talking to my CTO and other C-suites who do nothing but talk about AI incessantly is that all the other C-suite buddies of theirs are saying "This AI thing is really blowing up, we need to jump on that!!!", which then means they dedicate entire teams to making some shitty chatbot or whatever so that they can slap the "AI" label somewhere on the marketing page.

No shits are given for actual usefulness or if it even makes any sense for the product at hand to have some sort of LLM functionality built into it. Why would they care? Their investors want AI, so AI we build.

An absolute circus
I don't have the impression that other FAANG companies launch (and then kill) same amount of products. I'm no fan of Apple (don't own any device from them), but still recognize that when they launch a product, it likely won't get abandoned in a year. That instills confidence and people are more likely to invest their money and time into it.

While tech enthusiasts are a minority, they often drive the adoption of new products and technologies.
In fact, the claim is explicit.

"Congress shall make no law..." And that extended to the states by the 14th Amendment.

Passing a law forcing someone (or a group of "someones", which is what a corporation is) to host/amplify speech they don't wish to host/amplify is "abridging free speech" and is explicitly forbidden by the First Amendment.

No interpretation required.
So choose services that are compatible with your legacy needs, just like you double check your hardware will work with linux before you buy it.

My digital assets are designed to work for at least 10 years after my death (I keep domain and hosting accounts pre-paid) and my annual dead-man's switch should ensure my succesors are given timely notice to take over or migrate any services they decide are worth perpetuating longer than that.
> If the host's first reveal is randomly chosen, when you get down to two doors left each of them has a 1/3 chance of containing the car.

No... Remember one door has been opened and the car was not there, so we now know that it is guaranteed the car is behind one of the other two doors. If there was only 1/3 chance of it being behind either door, then that's the same as saying there's only a 2/3 (1/3 + 1/3) chance of there being a car anywhere, when we know for sure (3/3 chance) that it is somewhere!

The reality is that the contestant's original pick has a 1/3 chance of being right, and the other other two doors have a combined 2/3 chance of the car being behind one of them. Once one of those doors has been opened and the car shown not to be there, then this now means this combined 2/3 chance lies with the other door (which you should therefore switch to). Note that the probabilities now add up as expected: 1/3 chance original pick + 2/3 remaining choice = 3/3.

You can use your own domain with commercial email hosters, and switch hosters when needed. The important thing is to have your domain at a registrar that is not also your email hoster.

I also don’t know why GP has to “log in at the registrar to constantly renew the domain”. Auto-renewal exists. I haven’t lifted a finger for any of my domains for many years.
Yes, I 100% agree with saying that.

So why not structure it so the tuition is completely forgiven if someone does this rather unconditionally free?

I don't see why someone who goes to this medical school, only to become a cosmetic surgeon who ultimately makes millions a year doing discretionary procedures should have free tuition.

There seems to be some shift going on in society. Like we've acknowledged a world with "haves" and "have nots" is unavoidable, so we might as well just focus on diversifying the "haves" and give everyone an equal shot at winning the lottery.

I guess that's better, but it's a sad thing to settle for.

For my website, I own the url and pay siteground to host it. If siteground and I have a falling out, I can take my content and my url somewhere else. Isn't the same true for email addresses associated with that domain? Can't you get another cloud provider to host, so you can always access email-based password recovery? (I'm ofc talking about @mypersonaldomain.com addresses, not @gmail.com or whatever.)
> I've tried to mitigate this risk by keeping a so-called "death book": a hardcopy of all accounts, passwords, 2 factor auth instructions, router SSIDs, and so on, kept in the firesafe with all the other important stuff. But this Reddit post points out that this is not enough! Someone would also have to come in and take over the technical toil and maintenance that it takes to keep everything running. Not sure what the solution is.

Yeah that's the problem. They may have the passwords etc. but they don't have the knowhow to understand how the Proxmox cluster works, why the scripts aren't running, or comprehend an obscure error. It's basically a business setup at this point and would require someone with an IT background and lots of time to understand. Hell if you suddenly gave me such a setup and asked me to figure it out it would take a lot of time and trial and error as well.

The thing though is that if something happens the stuff won't all go down at once, there will be a process where hardware fails, subscriptions aren't paid, and so forth. So what I tell my family is to immediately backup the NAS files to external HDDs, create new email accounts with a public and setup forwarding for as long as it lasts (while changing their bank/Facebook/etc. to use those new emails), and so on. The telephone/internet providers may need to be changed to a user friendly residental service.

And all that has to happen fast before everything becomes inaccessible.
Well, if you own the domain you can point the MX record elsewhere if one host starts jerking you around. Of course you can have problems at the registrar level, but having used 100% self-hosted email, 100% hosted email (their domain) and hosted email pointed at by my domain, IME the hosted but my domain option is the most resilient.

I don't consider making many network calls necessarily bad for experience. My https://hackerer.news page load makes more requests than I care to count and it runs for 70 seconds (looking at the 'date:'s in the network tab). But the page renders very quickly. It might be bad if you're in AU/NZ idk, but all the requests are cached via CloudFlare and being individual units is highly cacheable which probably offsets a lot of other downsides.

I'd love to zip over to Europe a lot faster from the East Coast of the US. But I'm not going to pay as much to save time as I would for the rest of my trip.
