This is wonderful. A silly reference dressed in 'hacker' style. It doesn't boost productivity, it's just joyful. Well done.

If your adjusted gross income is less than $66,000 you can likely file your federal and potentially state taxes for free.
If you make more than $66,00 AGI, the IRS provides fillable forms that are pretty easy to use for your federal but might not be applicable in all circumstances.

All of the posts in this series on vgo are listed here: https://research.swtch.com/vgo. There will be at least one more, a FAQ on Friday.

There's also some ARM specific code: https://github.com/apple/darwin-xnu/tree/master/pexpert/arm
The Makefile also has ARM/ARM64 options.
They are an interesting company and I'm positive your endorsement is genuine. It might be worth mentioning that they sponsor one of your projects just to avoid the appearance of impropriety.
I have to admit, part of the reason I use Dropbox is that I know I can get answers directly from employees on HN.
Reminds me of the infamous "SSL added and removed here! :^)".
Does anyone know if there are any additional protections from snooping on their internal network?

How do people without homes "completely destroy the purpose"? Are they stealing books? Breaking computers? Barricading the doors?
Do you really believe that all people without homes have "given up on life"? Not a single one is "working hard and trying to excel in life"? Have you heard of working people without homes? Particularly in LA, SF, et al. where the cost of a home vastly exceeds the income of many people?
Do you think education could be a productive method for reducing the number of people without homes?
> The performance difference arises (we believe) because when working from an SQLite database, the open() and close() system calls are invoked only once, whereas open() and close() are invoked once for each blob when using blobs stored in individual files. It appears that the overhead of calling open() and close() is greater than the overhead of using the database. The size reduction arises from the fact that individual files are padded out to the next multiple of the filesystem block size, whereas the blobs are packed more tightly into an SQLite database.
GP's claim makes it seem like they interpreted as I did.
> ...countries like North Korea (rank #1) are closer to 0...
NK is not close to 0 in relative or absolute slave counts, and I don't see the utility in pointing out that 1 is closer to 0 than 52.
> The Index presents a ranking of 167 countries based on the proportion of the population that is estimated to be in modern slavery. [0]
North Korea, with 4.37% in slavery, is ranked 1.
India, with 1.4% in slavery, is ranked 4.
Philippines, with 0.4% in slavery, is ranked 33.
China, with 0.25% in slavery, is ranked 40.
USA, with .02% in slavery, is ranked 52.

"Customers who are running supported versions of the operating system (Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows 8.1, Windows Server 2012, Windows 10, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2016) will have received the security update MS17-010 in March. If customers have automatic updates enabled or have installed the update, they are protected. For other customers, we encourage them to install the update as soon as possible."
If you don't have the update, you are not protected, you are vulnerable.
I would hazard a guess that non-rooftop installation is substantially safer than getting on a roof. I would also guess that nuclear would be more hazardous if reactors were installed on roofs.

Not taking a stance either way on the name, but that is the definition of bike-shedding (aka law of triviality). A committee won't vote for my nuclear plant because the bike shed is red. The bike shed's color has concrete effects on adoption.
EDIT: I would just like to acknowledge the irony of bike-shedding bike-shedding.
What if my package manager includes libs like those under "x"? Or if it excludes certain libs? Homebrew is capable of this for many languages.
What if my language includes different libs depending on install target, like targeting embedded environments? I think Rust does this.
I think there is a large grey area being overlooked.
EDIT: This is particularly true in PHP land. If I just install the meta php package in most distributions, I will get a different set of extensions included.
What qualifies as a standard library? I think Go supports both in the "x" repository which is officially part of the Go project, but is distributed separately and with different compatibility guarantees. It even gets vendored back into the main repository.
8K video (near IMAX quality) can be compressed into a 500mbps stream[0], so gigabit should have decent lifespan. If we lay fiber to the premises then we can increase speeds in the future without digging everything up.

Sad but true.
Are there any supported systems still shipping an affected version?
To my knowledge, he is one of the few that has gone to the mat for his users.
This all happened December 8th. I'm surprised this didn't make more noise, but it's unclear to me what versions are affected. It was reported on 4.8.12 and not marked as a regression, and was fixed during 4.9 development.
Depending on your hardware, you may run into issues with the size of Go binaries.
Off topic: If you use OpenWRT, check out the LEDE Project. It's a fork and development appears more active, but no stable releases yet.

As I see it, I did not ignore everything GP said. I read all of their original statements, over half of the evidence, and their 2 additional comments. I admitted that I did not have 30 minutes to watch the videos at first. I explained why my reading of the rest of their comments made me less inclined to spend 30 minutes watching videos. GP seemed confused about HN's reaction, so I attempted to explain my thought process.
Which part of my comment is in bad faith? If I did not disregard all of GP, why should all of my comment be disregarded?
P.S. I did end up watching most of the videos when I had time. I'm still not totally convinced, and since they are entirely about D's, it doesn't help GP seem less partisan.
There's a lot of editing, and I tend to be skeptical of what was edited out (like when ACORN was 'exposed'). Were these people led in a certain direction? Are some of the comments made by someone other than who they're attributed to? A lot of the time you can't see the person speaking.
But, a lot of the commentary in the videos is quite troubling, infuriating even. Given that there appears to be admission of crimes across multiple jurisdictions, why has there not been further prosecution? Especially since some of the allegations occur in majority R states, I'd think they'd jump at the chance to prove D's are cheats.
Both parties are cheats. I think GP agrees, it just didn't come across that way at first.
