Founder of a startup, having a major article killing your company and "don't have time on a Saturday with my family to engage".

I understand that family is important, but isn't a situation like this so important that you - at least - replace some time next week by 2hours now to answer to this article?!

Edit: made me think about this xkcd https://xkcd.com/386/


It's always been fashionable for VCs to give large amounts of other people's money to these 'bropreneurs' because they think that some of the hip may rub off on them, or perhaps that a cool image is a sufficient business plan. The one startup every 6-7 years where someone parlays being a massive tool into a huge valuation (Uber the most recent poster child) is enough to keep this model going in perpetuity.


I really like it. I often look for a receipe with many likes online and have to read dozens of comments to adjust it...

For example the receipe of some cake where nearly all commenters advise to put 1/4 of the sugar advised. If you don't read the comment, chances are that even with a recipe approved by many people it tastes like shit.

I really hope this will grow and success!


Thank you for making my job better!


Almost exclusively French but https://jobs.humancoders.com/ is no fuss and very nice.


Does someone know what this domain actually is?

EDIT: After looking explicitly for it I found www.iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com.


Is that a Welsh company?


You can tell it's _not_ Cymraeg because of the "j"s.

Despite Jones being the stereotypical name for people in Wales, the old Welsh language, Cymraeg, doesn't have a J, nor have Z, K, V, X (IIRC). Jones is an English loanword, brought over apparently with the Norman conquest (though derived from Hebrew).

The modern language of Wales is of course British English with a ~100% use rate; Cymraeg still has an approx 8% (but falling) of the population who say when surveyed that they can speak it fluently, however.

Yeah, I'm terrible at parties.


...says adolph. The Germans, however, use much shorter terms like "Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften". :-)


Rechtsschutzversicherungsgesellschaften German Noun

- insurance company which provides legal protection


My guess was going to be left-handed bricklayers that wear blue hats. Close.


Off-topic, but I think that traditionally, the longest official word in German was "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz", the name for a law about testing and labeling of beef, now repealed. This word (63 letters) was of course not in everyday use by most people, but it was actually in the law.


"Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch" - town in Wales.

Will visiting that URL cause my IP to "hit" on https://intel.malwaretech.com/WannaCrypt.html now?

The map is populating much faster now, maybe they integrated it with the URL?


Say that 5 times fast, I dare you.


The registered domain gwea.com: http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2017/05/12/stolen-nsa-...

Edit: I'm not so sure now. The whois record seems to suggest recent activity:

ends with "gwea.com". Big difference.


At the risk of losing more karma... isn't the domain registered to stop this gwea.com itself?

The hacker, though, didn’t register the gwea.com domain name. On Friday morning, a 22-year-old UK security researcher known online as MalwareTech noticed the address in WannaCry’s code and found that it was still available. “I saw it wasn’t registered and thought, ‘I think I’ll have that,’” he says. He purchased it at NameCheap.com for $10.69, and [...] [1]

If it is, it seems to contradict the whois record.

The domain is not gwea.com, it ends in gwea.com. Two paragraphs above your quote in the article:

> a dot-com address consisting of a long string of gobbledygook letters and numbers ending in “gwea.com”

jstoja mentions it above: iuqerfsodp9ifjaposdfjhgosurijfaewrwergwea.com


My bad, I had misunderstood it completely. Thanks.


Sir my mobile phone is hage


A new hope would have been to start having a decline in the far-right votes.


It's not that simple. The Front National is basically the same people than 10 or 20 years ago, under the reign of JM Lepen (the infamous father), but was toned down, made left-wing friendly (taking parts of the left wing ideas), mixed with a masked nationalism (blaming not on ethnicity but on religion and terrorists). Mixed in a lot of fake news and a lot of populism. It was really very confusing for many people with poor education.

On twitter, you could hardly distinguish tweets from the Front National and tweets from the far-left (Melenchon), because of the same vocabulary and many identical ideas (on "oligarchy", "unfair media coverage", and so on).


Yeah totally. I wished for a 20%. Alas time moves quick and I couldn't act to ensure this locally. 35% is still way too high, but the worst is avoided.


The worst isn't avoided - just postponed. Le Pen's father received half the vote she did back in 2002. That means nationalist sentiment has doubled in just 15 years. If things go the way they are (which they will under Macron) we should expect a nationalist landslide in about a decade.


JMLP had a different game to play. Since, MLP spent years softening the FN image. Then wars and terrorism striked. Not long ago it was given that considering the context she would win. My opinion is that the 34% is peak nationalism and people will go back to normal parties.


> normal parties.

The matter is not the parties. It's ideologies. FN is prospering because of the remanent xenophobic culture of France. There is always a reason for hatred, it does not fade so easily


I don't think people are that xenophobic in France. Not like core FN.


Don't get your hopes up. The FN is probably going to get a hefty precentage in the parliamentary elections later this year. It's going to be a mess if FN and Mélenchon's party get around 20% each.


Why didn't they chose to split it? You always have your bare-metal infrastructure and if you need a terrible growth and need more IT infra, you can use public cloud to handle to load until you find plan a good solution bare metal.

Sure it's some work, the setup is sometimes not ideal, but it's a huge gain imho.

In addition, many people bring the argument that infrastructure is not their core skill. It is true, but do they need to get to the level of public clouds to run their own infrastructure ? I mean, even with sub-optimal choices on hardware but smart choice on how you handle your architecture, you still can have huge savings and not so many risks by doing it in-house.


I don't exactly know but on what project do you base yourself on? I can see many projects not versioning at all (or just tagging incrementally when they find it's stable enough). So my guess is that semver wouldn't be followed because they do not keep track of the features and breaking changes that might happen.


git uses semver i think

A firewall? No kidding, a firewall is not supposed to only block incoming traffic...


The built-in OS X firewall blocks incoming connections only.

I can't find anything about secrets in compose files... Any ideas about this?


Ok, it still seem to be in development: https://github.com/docker/docker/pull/30144
