service_bus··on Announcing Google Cloud VMware Engine
Traditional virtualization still requires you to pay for your own power, cooling, redundancy, SAN, backup, network, etc.

Not every company has the need to staff all of these specialists.

service_bus··on The unattributable “db8151dd” data breach
It appears your organization left an elasticsearch database exposed to the internet. This happens frequently due to poor configuration.

You're either going to have logs pointing to an IP that the individual used to siphon your data, or nothing.

With an exposed elasticsearch database, you possibly had the data being siphoned by many parties, and are only aware now because of this particular incident.

If you have any operations regarding customers in Europe, you need to notify your relevant Data Protection Authority

You should also sign your engineers up for this course:

service_bus··on Lidl to Launch Rival to AWS
Hetzner is great until you have some sort of issue.

They seem to either not have much in the way of internal procedures or just ignore them if they exist.

As long as you're prepared for all of your data and backups to just disappear, it's a great low-cost environment.

If you expect their operational team to not accidentally delete your environment, it just hasn't happened to you yet.

service_bus··on New Abbott SARS-CoV-2 antibody test has 99.90% specificity and 100% sensitivity
The person you are responding to is suggesting a scenario like the movie 'contagion' where people marked clean are given a wristband or pass of some kind.

In reality testing can be used as an effective tool regardless of whether or not people can be 'certified'

service_bus··on SEC loosens crowdfunding regulations for small businesses financing in pandemic
The OP never said their example wasn't an outlier, they were just making a point that these things happen.

Regardless, you can't just respond to a specific example with broad generalizations. It's textbook 'whataboutism'.

service_bus··on The Subways Seeded the Coronavirus Epidemic in New York City
NY subway averages almost 2 billion riders annually.

SF averages 50 million.

If SF had a subway system that handled 40x the amount of people you could start to draw some comparisons.

service_bus··on Coronavirus Survey Results: 42% of Employees Drinking While Working from Home
42% of respondents of an app.

Looking at their app, I'm surprised their audience didnt score higher.

service_bus··on Show HN: I made a Chrome extension to stop mindless browsing
I think the math problem could help, but you also need to ask yourself if you're just going to keep bypassing it anyway.. in which case software is unlikely to help much.

For you I would recommend the book: The Willpower Instinct by Kelly McGonigal. (audiobook is also well narrated)

It's well written and full of great methods for gaining your self control back.

service_bus··on Stripe records user movements on its customers' websites
Right, but I'm saying my setup is no different from the 'fraudsters' you describe, yet I have a seamless shopping experience online.

If I'm able to shop online without issues, why does everyone else 'need' an evercookie?

I'm sure it's helpful, it's the idea that it's necessary is what I take issue with.

service_bus··on A Simple Error Resulted in a mistaken order of 28,000 Tons of Coal
It's a good story, and I'm sure similar mistakes happen, but this particular event is a work of fiction.
service_bus··on The Infection That’s Silently Killing Coronavirus Patients
It's "silent" because people weren't getting diagnosed properly before.

Why would you check for pneumonia in a guy that comes in presenting stab wounds and reports no difficulty breathing?

Only now because with increased testing and experience are doctors realizing that many people have a pneumonia that doesn't present like pneumonia.

service_bus··on Security researcher discloses four IBM zero-days after company refused to patch
IBM tells CERT they don't care.

That's quite the "process error"

service_bus··on Stripe records user movements on its customers' websites
Why are 'evercookies' necessary.

My browser is setup to record no history or cookies.

It can be annoying to always have to dismiss the same popups you've dismissed before, but I've never had any issues with online payments or unnecessary captchas, including using stripe.

What am I missing?

service_bus··on Would Google make more money if they charged 1 cent per search?
This is their stated goal and intent for the platform.

It's also pretty obvious. These days Google ignores basic operators like quotation marks.

service_bus··on Variolation May Cut Covid19 Deaths 3-30X
There is no evidence yet that immunity is even possible.

Until we know that, taking away healthcare workers, healthcare resources, and having volunteers willing to kill themselves is foolish, at best.

service_bus··on CDC considering recommending general public wear face coverings in public
It's not just the US, the WHO is trying to tell people not to use masks unless they are sick or caring for someone that is.

It's irresponsibility on a massive scale.

https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/30/world/coronavirus-who-mas...

Obviously frontline workers need priority for PPE, but there is zero reason this should stop anyone from making something homemade.

service_bus··on Variolation May Cut Covid19 Deaths 3-30X
Quite possibly the dumbest thing I have ever read on this site.
service_bus··on When To Chat: Reconcile Time Zone Differences
Also worth noting is that in windows 10 you can add two additional clocks to the main one.

Very helpful when you are usually focused on just a few timezones in particular.

service_bus··on Companies are moving staff to secret offices to evade Covid-19
If you read the article it's about separating people.

The more office spaces you have, the more you can divide people into isolated groups.

service_bus··on Covid-19 coronavirus epidemic has a natural origin
I read your link after reading the source article and most of these were my thoughts as well.

Regardless of what the truth is, this study takes a lot of handwavy assumptions and presents them as fact.

service_bus··on Chloroquine has shown apparent efficacy in treatment of Covid-19
It's totally unreasonable.

There isn't enough quinine in tonic water to benefit you and the alcohol is going to leach nutrients that your body needs, lower your white blood cell count, kill good flora in your mouth, lower your body's immune response, and leave you more susceptible to catching the virus.

You shouldn't present nonsense as fact, it doesn't help anyone, and in this case is actively dangerous.

service_bus··on LA Mayor closes movie theaters, bars, nightclubs, entertainment venues, gyms
You're only assuming that immunity is possible.

As the experts don't know this yet, it would be irresponsible of the general public to make this assumption.

(especially when the rate of mutation is taken into consideration)

service_bus··on Domain hacks with unusual Unicode characters (2018)
He was probably trying to type emojis into form fields instead of punycode.
service_bus··on DigitalOcean raises $100M in debt as it scales toward revenue of $300M
More datcenters / infrastructure I would imagine.

They seem to have some regions running at near capacity already.

service_bus··on Skepticism after Windows 10 search failure
All of this information is in the article.
service_bus··on Carrier sales of phone-location data is illegal, FCC plans punishment
I think you're confused. Banks aren't buying location information from carriers.

This has nothing to do with them being able to get your location from their app.

service_bus··on Weleakinfo.com Domain Name Seized: Site Had Sold Access to Hacked PII and Logins
>US/EU, and other laws all seem relevant.

What does this mean? In the US there is no law for this.

In the EU we have the GDPR which says you never get to own or control someone else's personal information without their permission.

Just because the info is leaked, that doesn't make it public domain. The data still belongs to the user, and the people that hold it should only ever be doing so with permission.

service_bus··on Sam Altman and Andrew Yang talk UBI
Everything you are saying about Native Americans is contradicted by every study that has been done so far.

https://www.wired.com/story/free-money-the-surprising-effect...

Yang also discusses this in his book.

Please don't comment hyperbole if you're not able to support your thoughts with data.

service_bus··on Toxic fumes from idling cruise ships are still a problem in New York
International waters have very little regulation.

Many places have rules and the ships switch to a cleaner fuel in these waters, but when they're on the open sea they have no incentive to not use bunker fuel.

service_bus··on Show HN: I coded the world's most popular meditation program into a web app
Interesting concept, awful name.
