From [2], SoftBank lent billions for employees to invest. That's incredible and dubious! I've been offered to purchase stock of my employer at reduced prices if I hold it for X time, but never been offered a loan to do it.

This is great work! I've been doing this manually, so I appreciate you building this. Bookmarked!

Woah, No! Stop. Their homepage claims "Grant us least privilege permissions to your AWS account(s)."

But then their docs [1] give you this admin policy to use.

Legal escrow! No smart contracts needed

> Create a nonprofit

I like the enthusiasm, but this would get you slapped by the IRS (eventually). Any other ideas?

Maybe if we just pay each other in a ring through a legal escrow? Everyone puts in $5,001, the escrow pays everyone back $5000.

> Back when I learned this I was shocked

Care to explain? I'm not following..

If you haven't switched to Firefox, you should! There were a few things I didn't like at first, but after searching StackOverflow and blog posts for how to change the settings, I am now fairly happy!

> TEMPEST [1] (or Van Eck Phreaking) is a technique to eavesdrop video monitors by receiving the electromagnetic signal emitted by the VGA/HDMI cable and connectors

I've always thought of TEMPEST as magic and incredibly cool. I get how this works for video, but why is it that infosec recommends for EM shielding of a datacenter? Wouldn't there be so much EM noise from a DC that the data you could pull off be .. noisy? lossy?

The title was too long to fit, so I shortened it a bit

> It blows my absolute mind that these books were written a hundred years ago.

The more you read history, and the actual written words or written speeches of intellectuals and politicians, you'll continue to be amazed. Much of their language is poetic, and their prose seems more coherent than today's, but that's probably because they wrote a lot more letters to one another.

Does that mean banks cannot foreclose either (if nothing can be sold)?

Very cool. This seems like such a "Duh. Users want this" feature. I wish it was integrated in Firefox years ago. I bookmark some sites and then come back years later, but perhaps they hijacked the URL or they later changed the URL's parameters.

And then when I return, I get a 404. Instead of bookmarking, I'd love to "capture" the current info, divs, and graphics.

Terraform is better in almost every way.

I disagree. I spent time in Terraform a few years ago working with a client and Terraform had the ability to create but not tear down resources for some services. I was shocked -- check out the Github issues history. I ended up writing a "bunch of bash script wrappers or similar around it".

> DEFCON: The waffle house of security conferences

I'm afraid I haven't been to enough waffle houses to understand if this is a good thing or bad thing?

I'm not particularly convinced by the content of the article. But there is a glaring typo I hope the author fixes:

> 2. They do not know how WHY their copywriting formula works

Get it on foreign embassy employees, and then if it shows up on one of your staff, you'll know they talked to that foreign embassy.

I've been wanting to re-create my blog & about/personal page. Are there similar write-ups for beautiful blogs/resume/about pages?

It would be amazing to see the Gameboy/N64 emulator hacker community expand, and NEW games begin to be developed based on these docs. Maybe Nintendo could double-down on this and turn it into good publicity

> counter cyclical industry

What are some examples of "counter cyclical industry"? I have not heard this term before..

How does it eject this energy to propulse through space, if it's just spinning in circles inside the engine?

There is a comment at the bottom of the article from an expert in the Air Force:

> William Hargus, lead of the Air Force Research Laboratory's Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine Program, is a co-author of the study and began working with Ahmed on the project last summer.

> "As an advanced propulsion spectroscopist, I recognized some of the unique challenges in the observation of hydrogen-detonation structures," Hargus said. "After consulting with Professor Ahmed, we were able to formulate a slightly modified experimental apparatus that significantly increased the relevant signal strength."

> "These research results already are having repercussions across the international research community," Hargus said. "Several projects are now re-examining hydrogen detonation combustion within rotating detonation rocket engines because of these results. I am very proud to be associated with this high-quality research."

No worries. Congrats on launching

> Would you be interested if I write a blog post? How peer to peer architecture became obsolete and why no software is using it.

Ya, I'd be interested in reading that! Could you address why it wouldn't work with NAT the same way bittorrent deals with it? I'm probably missing something, but I don't see why bittorrent can work so easily but video conferencing cannot. thanks

Edit: Does bittorrent require you to port forward? I didn't think it did, but I haven't seen it configured in years so maybe I am forgetting that step

> no one is looking for something they don't even know exists.

I would be happy to direct your attention to the "Show" link on the top toolbar, where no one can miss it

I tried some of the explorer stuff, and it looks great. I didn't spend too much time looking, but is it free? Or what's the pricing? It's not clear how much it is to use..

> 20times in 9 months is absolutely ok!

It's actually not okay and the HN system is designed to stop that behaviour. Looking at the submissions this appears subverted through various subdomains and TLDs, but its the same submission.

I'm okay with posting a few times, but 20 times? Come on..

Also, it will show up on the https://news.ycombinator.com/show for days, so if you miss it, it's because you're not checking there.

> Peer to peer has been dead for more than a decade.

Source? Some apps like bittorrent have increased in the past decade, have they not?
