For anyone interested. If you are running Nagios/Sensu, then I highly suggest using one of the ssl check plugins [1, 2, 3], which will give you a heads up about these types of these before they happen. Then the onus is not on you to check some calendar/spreadsheet for expiring certs. Same goes for domains [4, 5]. When you are looking after tons of services, ssl certs, and domains, it is inevitable that things will slip through the cracks unless you have some type of monitoring keeping tabs on it for you.

There's an organization in NYC called City Harvest that "rescues" food every night that restaurants, supermarkets, farmers markets, bakeries, and the like are unable to sell, and distributes it by the truckload to soup kitchens and food pantries. Hundreds of tons every week.

They are very strict about what donations they'll accept. Even what's left in a buffet at the end of the night can't be donated. There's too much risk of contamination and spoilage. With your leftover burger there's no way to be confident you've practiced appropriate food care (refrigeration; how long you've kept it) even if you never unwrapped the thing -- let alone the slice of pizza that you probably touched with your bare hands and for all anyone knows is harboring flu virus or strep.

You're right, the liabilities make it unrealistic. How about buying a little bit less food and either donating the money you'd save to an org like City Harvest or buying a sandwich for the next homeless guy you pass on the street?
Inheritance is a separate issue. The US Constitution set forth a reasonable copyright time limit. Disney and Sonny Bono turned it into a ridiculous dynasty.
If you think this, your perspective must be limited to a pre-1970s worldview, or you must not know much about how much freedoms were stomped on before things like Roe v Wade and the current notion of a strong freedom of speech protection.
He really does need to know when to watch his mouth. His position on child / adult sexual freedom is alarming.

Unfortunately he will continue to blunder on in this highly public space and cause just slightly more damage to his cause than good.

Glad to hear Open Dylan is still moving ahead!

A question: do you think it would make sense/be reasonable to try to write a racket language extension for Dylan? Sort of as an alternate implementation? (Not really asking if it would make sense for the Open Dylan project to use resources for that, more if there are obvious things/differences between Dylan and Racket/scheme that would make it infeasible).
Do you evidence for your claim that google only caches the image if you open the mail? That seems to defeat the entire purpose of the feature.

For starters, it is worth understanding our size. 1.4 million people make it much easier to pull something like this off than, say, 320 million.

The challenges are still considerable. The thing is that this basically means our key information systems must cloud-ready and such a migration triggers a change in the organisation. Which is not the main strength of a government agency. We are also looking at various ways of using cryptography as, to an extent, the control over the hardware must be relinquished.

Overall this is a huge technical challenge driven by basically unique level of government innovation. Basically we a re-inventing what it means to be a country (see also e-residency).

Thankfully the district court judge was the only person in the courtroom besides the defendant capable of distinguishing fantasy from reality.

Now if only he could have levied criminal sanctions against the prosecutor in this case.

It's terrifying how these juries think. It really is as simple as, "Have any of you played Grand Theft Auto? Does that make you all car thieves? Have you watched Saw? Does that make you serial killers? No? Then why are we here?"

That people will vote to convict a man simply because they don't like what he thinks about, and that these cases can get this far in the first place, is absolutely terrifying. People really have become too stupid for a jury of one's peers to result in a fair trial.

What do you think these people would do if this man had an impossible fetish, like petrification or gigantism? "Your honor, clearly the defendant had conspired to turn a woman in real life into a 50-foot tall statue. We must lock him up before he is able to do so."
This is the story of the VPS and how it came to be:

In August of 2001 I was flying from Denver to San Diego to do some contract datacenter work.

I had a Toshiba Libretto 110CT that was running FreeBSD and I was trying to troubleshoot an OS config issue, so I tried jail. It gave me a complete, new FreeBSD system inside of a directory.

Then a lightbulb went on ...

A month later I posted beta invites to the cDc and 303 mailing lists and in December "JohnCompanies" was born. I advertised almost solely on kuro5hin.org and grew the company from my apartment in Aspen, Colorado. In February, 2004, I sold the company.

We called them "server instances", but "VPS" is the name that eventually caught on.

JohnCompanies still lives on today. Not sure where they'd fit on the "VPS Compare" list. I see our ad is still up on kuro5hin, if only because Rusty is too lazy to remove it, after more than 10 years...

The backup system(s) that we built for JohnCompanies customers was reworked and launched as a standalone product in 2006. You know it as "rsync.net".
Fascinating story. What's the best way to contact you in private (email)?
Question for everybody: why would you choose a VPS over a "cloud" server (e.g. AWS, Azure, GCE)? Why vice versa?
> Unfortunately, costs are still very high. I'm not sure why that is, given all the hype about "bugs are a low cost protein!"

My guess is that while bugs are more efficient than most animals at converting energy, the equipment and methods to raise the bugs and convert them into human-ready products have not had the centuries of optimization that mainstream animal husbandry enjoys.
Do you know Cloudacademy.com / Codecademy.com / Teamtreehouse.com ? How would you compare with them?
No. I will not back down from calling spades spades because I represent no group, only speak for myself, and I am under no obligation to alter my views or politicize my actions because of vague backlash reasons (you interestingly avoided telling me why you were urging me throughout that entire comment, if you read carefully).

You might have identified a box into which to label and place me, but I assure you that I remain independent of all labels; my opinions are not based in feminism, yet our views happen to align in this case. I am not championing a cause that requires me to convert anyone. I am calling a representative of The Red Pill an idiot for attempting a cogent argument in their defense on Hacker News. If I were defending feminism, I'd be operating much differently.

Attachment to a group and worrying about the group is a prison from speaking about what is important to you in your own way.

Price for me. For less money, I get CPU, Disk and Network. On AWS, I can pay about the same price for the CPU part, but I still have to pay EBS and network traffic.
Short answer: VPS are (usually) cheaper, and you have total control.

Longer answer: There are basically two approaches to scaling software: Either you build/simulate better computers (vertical scaling), or you deploy more of them (horizontal scaling).

Dedicated hardware lets you build or simulate having a better computer (e.g. FPGAs, or using a network driver that is ideal for your traffic patterns, or a heavily tuned JVM). On the other hand, the cloud lets you quickly add (or remove) computers in response to service demand.

VPSs just split the difference (though they are usually closer to the vertical side of the equation).
I'm a Stanford graduate student. I earn about $30k per year, or $2,500 per month. Rent is about $1,000 per month. Food is about $200 per month. Taxes are about $300 month. So my three primary costs are $1,500 per month, leaving $1,000 per month in savings and discretionary spending. I'm flabbergasted that people think $100k is not enough money to live. It's way, way above the median wage here.
Yeah. But this isn't what most "Hackathon Hackers" mean by "We are not criminals". It's also not what OP was referring to when he criticize lack of regard for civil liberties and tolerance of "unfair business practices".

I agree with most of what you said, but as I understand you are arguing that radio should have been left unregulated? Wireless wouldn't work on the scale we use it today if it weren't for these regulations. Or maybe today we would get by, working around interference, but 15 years ago we wouldn't have had the tech. I'm sure there are better methods of regulation than partitioning the spectrum, but radio anarchy is not one of them.

The very notion that the climate will amplify CO2 heating by as much as 4.5 times should raise red flags. Without all that extra heat amplification there is no global catastrophe and therefore no drama. There are lots of papers on climate sensitivity and the estimates are all over the map. This should indicate less certainty, not a "the science is settled" attitude.

Rather than acknowledge the uncertainty, climate scientists like Michael Mann appear to be trying to create the illusion that their climate models are more accurate than they really are. For example here is a slide from a 2012 presentation he gave: https://climateaudit.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/hansen1988-...

Notice that he simply lops off the temperatures after 2005 because they don't neatly fit the curve! It's bizarre to see. It's this sort of behaviour from climate scientists that initially piqued my skepticism.

When I first started looking into the CAGW debate with any scrutiny I honestly believed I would find skeptics using fake data pumped out by right-wing think tanks. Instead I found what appears to be fake data pumped out by government agencies. Go figure.

Don't get me wrong - I don't think these individuals are pumping out fake data on purpose. For example, they may believe in global warming so strongly that when the data doesn't show the expected warming they a) wonder why the data isn't showing more warming, b) come up with a plausible sounding reason as to why the data isn't showing more warming, then they c) 'fix' the data via a series of 'adjustments'. Also known as confirmation bias and group-think.

It turns out that a significant portion of the recorded warming is due to these data adjustments. We're talking as much as 20% or more, depending on the data-set. That should also raise some red flags.

Been meaning to get to a better reply. As to sources, in the case of temperature adjustments, it's all there in the mainstream data-sets. I could point you to some skeptical sites that are picking the data apart if you like. There are some newspaper articles on this, all right wing outlets of course. It seems both sides only print the stuff that caters to their audience.
I feel like I just read a subliminal promotion for the lambda calculus.
Ask HN: Do you really need a degree?
Hi HNers,

This subject has been bothering me for a while. After just 1 year I dropped out of college due to financial reasons and started working. I worked myself from junior to senior dev in these 5 years. And I am very happy with the progress that I have made towards my career.

Since I never graduated from college, my highest degree is still high school. I have been taking some classes which are of my interest but they don't necessarily count towards my degree.

My question is: Is it worthed to go back to college? I am interested in hearing from you folks who went back to college? Or even who decided not to go back?

Regards
Yes, you're right; I should have included alimony.
Greenpeace cofounder, more carbon-dioxide is better
Define "legitimate reasons". One reason someone might be interested is that my billing information would not be available in case of a compromise of the billing system (which happens). Also, nobody can social engineer information out of a hosting company that the hosting company doesn't have. There are plenty of people who are totally legit that have "unpopular" opinions or are worried about crazed trolls.

Do you do anything to stop people from signing up with Visa gift cards under a fake name?

I honestly think you probably wouldn't have too many problems if you didn't target the low end of the market, made it clear that you won't put up with abuse, and maybe required a deposit to get service that'd be returned after X months or forfeited for abusive behavior.

Boston's startup scene is dominated by MBAs who think hackers are cogs you put red bull in to get code out and technical cofounders are only worth 5% of the company. I think YC actually has done a lot to change this in the last few years as someone who interacts with the scene often, though these MBAs will never go away.
Yes, I believe so. She was a freelance writer at the time, and she wrote articles for major magazines.
My problem with the Wolfram/Alpha numbers is they aren't realistic. I'm looking at moving to Chicago or Atlanta or somewhere back on the east coast from Seattle. And that Wolfram page shows that a 2 bed room apartment (not house) in Atlanta is $1012. Where? Duluth? Buford? Snellville? Or to the South? If you compare like neighborhoods (Belltown in Seattle to Midtown of Atlanta), rents are usually very close to each other (within a $100 from what I've found). But recruiters are fixated on the "It's so much cheaper".
org-mode (or, I guess, any suitably feature rich note-taking-and-todo-list-system). Anything that doesn't need immediate attention gets a note in an .org file, for follow up later. I have a very limited stack depth when working, and this approach keeps me free to focus on what I'm trying to achieve. Just one tip - schedule time each day to review your agenda, or stuff you punt to a list will never actually get done :-)

Hello,

I've used every cloud/vps provider and I'll try to give you a short list (Linode, Aws, Azure, DO, StormonDemand, Newservers, GCE, Rackspace, Vultr, Atlantic, Terramark vCloud Express, CloudSigma, Bluebox, Bluelock, GoGrid, Phoenixnap, Tata) as well as many cloud SaaS services (DME, Rage4, EasyDNS, Boundary, NewRelic, Dyn, Akamai, Cloudflare, Incapsula, Pingdom, Pagerduty, etc.)

Why do I chose a provider like DO over AWS? Cost and simplicity. With AWS who knows what you will get billed for? However, when you combine services you can get a much better value proposition. DO is cheaper, as stable and you get better performance than AWS, combine that with a good dns provider (DME, Rage4) and a content delivery network (Fastly, MaxCDN) you have a much better/cheaper solution.
I can't speak to what certificate was in place before, but now there seems to be a wildcard certificate installed that isn't expired.

If the old certificate was also a wildcard certificate, it stands to reason that even if the CA sent a reminder email, this particular front end could have been overlooked.

>But while you are dying off the youth will embrace the new and the better.

Yeah, ain't that a shame? Those old belle-epoque people getting older, while the younger generations embraced Word War I and then the Nazi party.

Or those people that got older after the sixties, were the younger generations embraced Raeganism...

Sarcasm aside, new is not necessarily better. It's not even a strong correlation. There is new stuff that can be better than old, and old stuff that can be better than new in equal measure.

Only technology monotonically progresses to better and more advanced things. Morals and customs (and aesthetics) can and do change either way.
I've found our company, once concerns we're articulated, to be pretty open to addressing these sorts of concerns.
I wonder what's better from the point of final user (app size, app starting speed, app performance, memory usage): png or this drawing code? I suspect that PNG should work better. And programmer can easily generate multiple PNG from single hand-written SVG.

Regarding the lead masks case, how about: Two guys were interested in taking some weird drugs (equivalent of "shrooms" today). They met someone who agreed to give them the drugs, and as part of the ritual gave them the instructions "Be at the place arranged at 16.30. Take capsules at 18.30. After feeling the effects, protect half the face with lead masks. Await the agreed signal"[0]. They took the drugs, OD'd and died.

"that practically everything is allocated on the heap"

That's kind of the point though. If you want something on the stack, you write plain old C structs or work with primitives. There's plenty of this happening throughout the cocoa frameworks. On the other hand, if you find yourself writing C structures to the heap in objc, you're probably wasting your effort.
> "Your honor, clearly the defendant had conspired to turn a woman in real life into a 50-foot tall statue. We must lock him up before he is able to do so."

Without disagreeing with you, I think most people "like this" would accept that argument. But there's no urgency there, because he'll never be able to do so.

My mother advanced to me once the opinion that someone with a foot fetish should be legally barred from going into podiatry. I was shocked that people could think that way. :/
A demo that Magic Leap was going to show at TED
I dropped out after the first quarter of my senior year at UC Santa Cruz. It mostly worked out OK, but I grew weary of always having to explain to interviewers why I didn't graduate. The reason was that I was offered a job that - at the time, for me - paid really well.

I went back to school part-time until I completed my Physics degree. Now that I do have a degree, I find that it is for the most part ignored by potential clients.

On the other hand, there are many wonderful things you can gain from a college education. But don't feel like you need it just to get a job.

One of the very finest embedded developers I have ever met, Tom Cummings, last I heard worked on the Keck Telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii. I'm pretty sure he never even applied to college.
