QueryBasicInformation is like a subset of stat(2). It can't access a file's contents. While I'd prefer Dropbox not to go looking at file metadata on my whole device, I'd chalk this one up to over-eager coding and not some kind of data-smuggling backdoor.

>Not at all personal on my side; hell, the story is probably apocryphal.

You called dchichkov's argument "idiotically cynical". That's a personal attack, even if you didn't mean it that way.

>I never said he was right or that I agreed with him, in fact I hate Apple Mice and actually find them too small. No idea where you are even getting that.

When you say "completely revolutionize multiple technology industries ACTUALLY had vision and a sense of aesthetics" in response to a comment that suggested he was reading expressions, that very heavily implies that Steve was correct. You need to work on wording if you have "no idea" how I got that impression.

>a special kind of person

This sounds like a personal insult again.

I don't know why you're so vehemently against the idea.

The difference is mostly that in case of SMS, metadata leaks to carriers. In case of Signal/TextSecure/RedPhone, some limited metadata leaks to Google Cloud Messaging and Apple's equivalent platform (I can't remember the name). That's necessary because of scaling problems with push messages, but I understand there is work going on to develop a self contained alternative using WebSockets.
> You grant that permission to the person legitimately checking out code, but not to the person finding or stealing a laptop with a clone of a repository. The latter is a side-effect of how a DVCS works.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. What difference is there (not that you would allow checkouts on unencrypted laptops anyway)?

> In SVN you don't even need to expose the full history, you can grant access to the last revision only.

> In SVN for example you can restrict people to single directories (or even files - I don't remember exactly). That at least is impossible in git. I can prevent pushes using hooks but not reads.

These restrictions may be useful in some cases, but I would wager that they are far more seldom than some of the advantages of git (like being able to work offline).

I have proof of similar fraud. My wife ordered a premium-priced hardware item which was completely sub-par and nothing like the 5* reviews suggested. The product description was purposely misleading (which is how they fooled my wife). She mentioned the many 5 star reviews.

Checked out the reviews, noticed a similar U-shape review distribution. Checked out the reviewers and a multitude of them reviewed the same or similar products (e.g. supplements) and many showed a very "random" set of previous purchases, ie nothing seemed related, everything was cheap, one-liner reviews. Reported to Amazon, no action taken.

PS I love the convenience of Amazon, but never buy from third parties.

REST doesn't add "restrictions". REST describes constraints that - if you can work within them - provide certain guarantees and benefits and capabilities. It solves a bunch of real problems. REST wasn't just pulled out of thin air - it was an attempt to describe how the web itself works at global scale.
> The obvious question for anything that claims to solve Byzantine consensus is: what about Sybil attacks?

Not really answering your question (which is answered elsewhere in the thread), but these things are independent in an interesting way. Sybil attacks, in the simplest sense, depend on running consensus across a group where you don't have trustworthy membership information. If you do, then it turns into an authentication problem, which is different. Sybil attacks are an attack on the protocol that controls jury membership (or authenticates jury members), rather than the consensus protocol itself.

So, admins never use version control for puppet manifests/chef cookbooks/terraform/saltstack/whatnot and all the config data that's put on the servers? And it would not be of value if we could version the configuration along in the same repository as the code to which it belongs? So it's easier to track? Now, currently we can't, because DVCS don't allow us to grant different privileges to different people/groups, but I could very well imagine that developers get access to a repo where they can change the configuration to the dev/test environments and the admins match that in the same repo for prod and other envs with higher level needs. I could also imagine building the final deployment from a single repo instead of having to merge two repos because I need to separate them due to permissions.

I could also imagine designers placing their assets in the repository without needing to deal with git or even seeing the source code that lives side-by-side. That totally used to work with SVN I'd totally like it if the repository contained the PSD sources for all the assets/mockups that are relevant for a given version of the source, but alas, you can't check out the source without getting the PSDs, even if you're not interested in them. Heck, SVN even allowed exposing the repo as webdav which you could mount as a networked folder, so people could access the last revision just as if it were a SMB drive.

git is a huge step forward in some regards, but we also lost quite a couple of good things along the way.

Yes its like renting a VPS with VNC or rdesktop. That's not the interesting part. The magic they claim is a low latency video transport to show you the screen on the remote.

You can web browse on a remote computer with VNC but you sure can't use photoshop. Even on 1GB/s with the remote right next to you. Its not the network in that case, VNC is just too slow with its screen scraping and reassembling. Rdesktop is better but it still hurts to use something like photoshop. Forget games.

Their entire product hinges on delivering that low latency video feed of the remote screen. None of the other features matter in comparison. They win if I can't tell its remote. Anything lesser...
I doubt this has anything to do with his condition in Russia. I think its timed very nicely to coincide public sentiment in the US. A movie about his courageous acts just won an Oscar. Hundreds of news stories brought to light by his efforts have outraged the US public over the last couple years. Him and his team might be running low on hard-hitting stories and would rather deal with an Obama DOJ than whatever comes next. If he wishes to turn himself in, the time to act is in the next 3-6 months before the 2016 primaries heat up.

If he returns to the US soon, we will see massive demonstrations in the street demanding his release. I doubt he'd end up serving more than a couple years in prison. Even then, life abroad is no doubt preferable to life in the federal pen. It's smart for him to be putting feelers out right now, but its still far from certain that he's coming stateside anytime soon.
Found a way fix to the problem: just got off the phone with Apple support and we are going to change the "ç" for "c" and the "ã" for "a". It's good enough for me and it's going to be updated in 24 hours.
Curry in India means, colloquially, just any dish with some gravy. Not gravy as in Western cuisine, which is made separately and poured onto some food (or kept on the side), but gravy as in, a dish that is somewhat liquid-y.

Whereas (I think) in British slang, curry means any (quite) spicy (as in pungent) Indian or South Asian dish.
> As far as I know, "not able to live in close physical proximity to potential investors" is one that is unique to Silicon Valley.

I think you're conflating two arguments here. I'm not suggesting this is a solution that scales to other cities. I am suggesting however, it would solve them in SV given the current funding climate.

> I strongly encourage you to live in another city

I've lived (professionally) in Chicago, Philadelphia, New York, London and Germany. I'm not sure what my living experiences outside of SV have to do with the context of the discussion... for more context, the problem that is being identified here is not currently a problem that I have.
That seems like a potential solution if these ciphers were still otherwise useful, but as far as I can tell they're not, so it's better to just remove them altogether.

>but recognize that they're paying more to AWS than it would cost them to do it.

Adrian C came to a different conclusion.[1] He said it was cheaper to iterate & fail on AWS than on their own hardware. It was cheaper to expand into foreign markets by using AWS datacenters already there. It was cheaper to do large-scale fallback and disaster recovery with AWS.

I don't know who you talked to at Netflix but in my experience, there's an interesting division of opinion on whether AWS makes financial sense. In general, the tech team (admins, etc) think the in-house team can do it cheaper. But the business execs running the numbers in Excel see that AWS makes more sense. First the company tries things out with sandbox, dev, and qa on AWS and they get seduced by the speed and flexibility. (Why are we paying the IT team that takes 5 days to provision a dev box for the programmers?!?!) The business execs see possible value in moving more critical production workloads to AWS. The IT team that tries to keep it in-house can't show a convincing spreadsheet that calculates bare metal+staff is cheaper.

Most businesses' internal devops team (including the world-class one at Netflix) cannot match the pace of accumulating infrastructure expertise at AWS. This shouldn't surprise us since most businesses don't consider the babysitting of rack servers to be their core competency. I'm not convinced that Reed Hasting's internal team could execute faster and innovate cheaper than amazon's team. Sure, Netflix internal bare-metal servers will perform better than EC2 instances but there's also a speed to staff execution. Being slower on the admin tasks can negate the savings on the raw cpu hardware.

It lowers the damage stealing a key can do, whether via factoring or some other information leakage, for bad ciphers and good ciphers. And obviously, we should stop supporting intentionally broken ciphers.

Ask HN: Expenses for C-corp startup?
TLDR: What are the yearly expenses and hidden costs for a Delaware C-corp?

I'm looking to incorporate and from what I've read the most common option is a Delaware C-corporation.

I'm aware this can be done electronically by using services like Clerky (https://www.clerky.com/pricing) by filling and sumbitting a couple of forms (and paying a fee of course).

My question is what happens after this in regards of costs/expenses.

Do I have to pay the state of Delaware extra money at some point? Do I have to pay a tax every month/year (even if the corp doesn't have revenue)? Do I have to pay a bookkeeper and/or lawyer? Can all these be done remotely and if yes, how (and how much does it cost)?

Note: I'm not a US citizen, I'm in Europe.

Probably because this post is effectively a commercial for your product without explicitly saying so. You are trying to showcase the resumes people have built with your product in order to showcase your product. I can see how that might grind on peoples' nerves. Plus the repeated posting.
> I'm not sure what you're getting at. What difference is there

A checkout from SVN/CVS only contains the last version. Files that were deleted in an earlier version are only on the server. A clone of a DVCS contains all versions and all files that ever were in the repo (unless you use BFG or git-filter-branch, but people tend to forget that). So a clone can contain secrets that people are not aware of, such as accidentally committed and deleted files. An interested party could find stuff that you're not aware off by looking at HEAD.

> (not that you would allow checkouts on unencrypted laptops anyway)?

That's not my call to make, but I agree on that regard. Reality sadly different from what we both wish.
> defend the Constitution, that potentially trumps other laws

I can't see how it couldn't trump other laws!

Think about it. If you can pass a new law which trumps the Constitution via a method that doesn't involve a Constitutional amendment, then you've just done an end-run around the theoretically supreme law of the land. And if you can do that, the Constitution is completely meaningless.

The whole point of the document is that it outlines some bedrock stuff and it's neigh impossible to change unless everyone in the country really agrees that it needs to via a 3/4 majority of the states ratifying.

I would argue that the Constitution absolutely overrides laws to the contrary and we see this play out all the time with the Supreme Court. Things get struck down all the time as unconstitutional and that's the end of it.

I can't see how the founding document of our government can somehow be subverted by other laws unless those laws are deemed as important via ratification.
It can disrupt conversation to ask for a source when you could find it yourself in less time than it takes to ask. This is especially true when phrased in a curt manner that implies you already doubt the claim.

Exactly my thoughts. A hint of condescension and lack of self-awareness - the camp Sam Altman seems to be a part of ("regulate AI, it's an existential threat to humanity!") is just as much a prediction of the future as anything else. Yet, somehow, he seems to be subtly implying that he's "more" correct.

Marc Andreessen has been relatively level-headed about the topic of AI recently on Twitter, and it would be nice to see other industry figureheads be less emotionally involved and more scientifically rigorous in their assessment of the industry. The debate is devolving into an ego battle (especially with a post like this!), and it's rather unfortunate.

Edit: Additionally, Altman appears to be primarily attacking a strawman with this article. "Superhuman" intelligence already exists. The emergent intelligence (via technological amplification) of society is, by definition, super-human. What's less realistic is anticipating a human-like artificial intelligence that would, in any way, represent an existential threat to the human race. There are many, many problems with the latter argument. (From a technological, philosophical, economic, and evolutionary perspective.)

I think you argue in the same direction I often argue. Git is not for everybody. If you don't want to spend the time to learn git you probably are better of using something else.

Additionally I would like to add something: There are more cases were you need than you think, especially if you haven't learned it. E.g., you start a little prototype to present to your boss. It succeeds, boom, ten years later you have 100 man team working on the same prototype you started 10 years ago. Suddenly you really need forks, branches, some people spend their whole day merging stuff, etc. But hey, you can't switch from SVN because you have chosen it in the beginning and now everybody is using it, all kinds of scripts, tools, and optimized workflows require that you continue to use it.

Some people might think that spending two weeks in the beginning to learn to use a power tool is much better than starting earlier and thereby getting years of pain later on.

A lot of the underlying technology for paperspace certainly exists today and its best to think of what we are doing as providing a layer on top of it all (and polishing the pieces that didn't work so great before):

To give an analogy, cloud storage was definitely around long before dropbox and google drive. It was simple, I uploaded a file to FTP, you opened your FTP client, and we could share files. The reality was that less tech-savvy people might never get past the install step.

What dropbox/google drive/box did was take an existing (and increasingly commodity) offering and wrapped it in a layer that made it accessible to a whole new class of users.

Digital Ocean is amazing and we are shooting for the same simplicity for full desktop computers.
I agree with everything you said except I think it is a little naive to believe he'll only get "more than a couple years in prison."

Here's the thing: Snowden, regardless of morals, upset a lot very powerful and influential people. These people might have calmed down a little since they were calling for him to get the death sentence, but these aren't the kind of people who won't try to get revenge if given half an opportunity.

Just look at what they did to Chelsea Manning (formerly Bradley Manning), he got 35 years(!) for leaking a bunch of embarrassing diplomatic cables where key US politicians wrote what they really thought about foreign leaders and diplomats.

Snowden upset people in the US government just as much. He essentially took a bunch of power away from them, and people in those positions shrive on power. Do you really think they won't get every pound of fat out of Snowden that they can? Because I do. 35 years if he's lucky.
