I suggest making each email more personal then "Dear User, why you no post?" by using their user name.

Also I'd say do it in small batches where you perfect your approach depending on how the users react to the title and content of your e-mails.

Finally, don't send them more than one or two "Where you been?" emails every few months, that would definitely bother people.
"We can launch a short note that appear to recover." Yup. That's what it looked like.
gothamair is contradicting itself.

On top they are saying "Call your friends or meet some new ones on board."

At the Tesla section, they are saying - "You never need to share the car strangers". Although there is a typo here (missing 'with')

I think bus ticket collecting was chosen as an example by the author exactly because starting a company about it is ridiculous to think about. So we can discuss just inner interest in something without thinking about outer reward.
Well, if you know you are like that, just initially settle with your partner that no re-negotiation which would make it more pleasant for you is possible.
At the moment, I believe it is only the Android phones which sport GPS. (Although Nokia feature phones already have Ovimaps). Bringing maps to the table means WP7 will be on par with Android on such a basic feature.

Does this mean MS has basically bought themselves a mapping company for a couple billion dollars? On top of it, they've secured a solid brand with a good distribution channel and pre-existing relationship with carriers. It sounds like a good deal for MS to me.

As for who is going to be dictating who, I believe Nokia is mistaken. MS will drive the relationship because MS owns the platform, not Nokia. This is something even HP and Samsung realizes. I'm surprised Nokia has palmed off Symbian to Accenture so quickly. Perhaps this is to shake out the management tree a little bit.
These are wonderful, thank you. What is your rationale for item 6?
And let's face it, despite bugs and human error that should be avoidable, they are.
I agree with your assessment if you're talking about perception, not actual risk.

Shortly before Cassini was launched there were some people on my college campus protesting the mission on grounds of risk of radioactive debris spreading if the launch failed. Motivated by my distaste for fearmongering, I did some reading and found that nearly all the scholarly research and engineering studies suggested the risk was infinitesimal, and in a worst case scenario the spread of dangerous concentrations of radiation would be highly localized.

Aside: Bill Nye (himself a trained engineer) also uses his position as Executive Director of The Planetary Society to advocate for the use of nuclear power generators in deep space missions.

I beg to differ. Arbitraging is valid when you deal with free market rules.
Fiveer is not a mere tool, it's a cool idea that is now being copied. if 6buk will succeed it will be because it will manage to be "cooler" and more innovative, not because of Arbitrage difference.
(Unlike ODesk,Elance,guro which are outsource platforms and you can definitely use arbitraging there).

Hence, here the name of the game.. is being different.
Foursquare is a good example, there are many location based services and they have been here for long much before foursquare. But the whole fun, mayorship, badges, etc. made it the fun product that it is today.

Bottom line,
Fivver is about being "Fun" and not "cost-effective"

Cheers
I meant being able to re-negotiate :P

And yes, in principle, I'm all for doing what you've agreed to ... but in practice I'd really rather give the partner a different offer we can both be happy with.
> And thousands upon thousands of automated CI jobs and docker container builds fail. You're basically causing massive developer stress to anyone who automatically compiles your package.

This isn’t a major source of stress: you include migration instructions and even tooling to automate it. The thing that’s stressful is when your build fails with completely unexpected errors and no indication of what went wrong.

Loudly announcing breaking changes is disruptive to some extent, but not doing so either means more disruption or nothing can ever change at all.
In effect, a sales tax "discourages labor" in the same way: if you have to charge customers more for your products because of sales tax, that discourage sales, and thus you have less revenue available to pay workers. The effect is the same. You can't eliminate income taxes and then magically have the same amount of capital available to pay wages, that's not how it works.

If the government has to raise $N total in taxes, that amount of money is coming out no matter what. It has to come out somewhere. The real question is distribution, and that's when you have to look at fairness of taxation and ability to pay. You can't just say income taxes discourage labor and ignore the question of where you're getting the taxes instead, and how the alternative taxation method affects labor.
The cars on fire were in Chicago. Arsons were up 65% in Chicago in 2020: https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/2/26/22300843/chicago-burn.... I don't know why you think police vehicles don't count. 8 government vehicles were set on fire in just one day in Chicago last summer.

And it wasn't just cars (which I'm just using as an example):

> Dozens of convenience stores and retail shops were hit by arsonists, along with five department stores, five groceries, two churches, a currency exchange, a car dealership, a bank, a bar, a barbershop, a carwash and a drugstore. Most of those fires were set on May 31 and June 1.
I think people need to realize you’re getting a terrible deal when you give Lambda School x% of your earnings at your first job. Also as someone who went to college and paid for it myself these bootcamps are detracting from my American Dream because they’re empowering corporations to pay lower salaries to everyone because they have boot camp grads eager to be paid lower wages. Other specialized fields don’t allow this and for good reason, it’s really rather frustrating to those who went through the rigors of earning a degree to have to compete with someone who has an education that isn’t certified by the education system.
So sad... There's a thread in cloudynights that seems to indicate they have a buyer. Unsure if they would just liquidate the stock or start printing the titles again, if it even goes through. Here's hoping for the best.

I don't think a 3rd party package manager "breaks" the security model. I'm pragmatic and that gives me a few choices about flexibility. I'm able to run the software I need locally (Adobe Products) and the shell is familiar and I've got the utilities I need and the languages to interact with them and I'm able to get what I need done. Thankfully my workflow isn't one that requires fighting the OS or tooling support. I spend my time fiddling with the server side of things and now that docker is a thing it's more application side than anything.
> What I wouldn't give for a liblinux, similar to NTDLL.

Hey I actually tried to make such a thing.

https://github.com/matheusmoreira/liblinux

It provides access to Linux system calls and process start up code that gets all the arguments, environment and auxiliary values. I have several examples of applications written in 100% freestanding C with zero dependencies other than this library:

https://github.com/matheusmoreira/liblinux/tree/master/examp...

It's a bit too low level but I actually planned to make my own ld-liblinux eventually. It currently works with static and dynamic linking. The ld-linux.so is able to link even though nothing else links against glibc. I didn't test dynamic loading though.

I stopped working on it because I found better solution for system calls on the Linux kernel repository:

https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/tools/include/...

Do you think liblinux could have a future?
Not 100%, but we can outlaw PII selling, and therefor everybody wins. I get “peace of mind” knowing IKEA doesn’t get targeted information, and IKEA still gets some level of anonymous demographic data from advertisers.
This is not talking about writing a new init in the sense of Systemd. All the init program needs to do is spawn the one process that you were going to start anyway, and adopt orphan processes.

You could literally use bash as the init process if you do not care about shutting down cleanly (or are willing to have a more complicated shutdown procedure that 'docker stop').
The Vegan option for Soylent is to order it without the otherwise included fish oil additive.

We're not elite workers though, in terms of compensation.
I continue to find it amazing that a "free people" are allowing this kind of thing. No matter what the revelation, the big machine of internet data collection keeps on a 'rollin down the tracks. Web companies harvest it, and government skims what it wants off the top.

It's gotta stop, folks. It's just gotta stop. The scary thing isn't that we continue to create some dystopian nightmare. The scary thing is that this continues on and it doesn't matter; that we give up our privacy and anonymity and become some other species than the one we started off the 21st century being. (I mean that in a social behavioral sense, not that we grow new limbs or something) This would be a profound change for the negative, making us more like a beehive (with the associated single point of failure) that millions of troupes of hominids with the distributed self-optimizing pattern of improvement that model supports.
Unless pmichaud is contracting for you, you don't seem to fall into the precondition of "when I charge you $125 for an hour of my time."

He presumably sells to people who value his time that highly and doesn't sell do people who think his price is unworkable, so it is almost tautologically true.
I've found that the best explanation of what we really lost is in some of the comments by Kent Pitman in some comp.lang.lisp discussions, like this one: [1] and this one [2]

I am currently staying with my parents in upstate NY, and we do not have high speed internet. I am able to tether on my phone, but we obviously cannot stream netflix etc.

It really is a weird world not being hooked up to the grid.
But even in C you have to handle "exceptional situations" somehow... Like, for example, malloc() or fopen() returning NULL (which both could appear in the same block, by the way).
> Microsoft has seen increasing growth in customer use of Java across the company’s cloud services and development tools.

Interesting to see that MS is seeing "increasing growth" in Java yet I get the feeling that many HN commenters have written it off.
The HTML vocabulary doesn't have and doesn't need these because SGML, on which HTML is based, has entities and many other constructs for templating. In fact, both SSI in default config and embedded PHP use a (simplistic) form of SGML extension syntax (markup comments and processing instructions, resp.) for equipping static HTML with dynamic features, though SGML has much more powerful ones.
I believe that the text "you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered version or of any later version" means that it is still available to be used under the terms and conditions of GPLv3 or GPLv4 at the option of the person using the code (such that if v4 prohibited use by people with 3 o's in their name, I could still use foo under the v3 terms).

Do you claim that once v4 is published I cannot use code licensed as "v3 or later" by complying with the v3 terms and conditions? That seems to me to directly contradict the language in the license. I agree that "v3 or later" code automatically is available for use under v4 terms once v4 is published, but it also remains available under v3 terms.
IMO you can get 90% of the utility here (owning your data) with just the NAS and rsync.

1. Don't feed the FAANG

2. Store your SoR media, notes, documents on your own NAS

3. Automate a backup of the NAS, preferably both on and off site (I use rsync from a pi + large disk + cloud blob storage)
Every country's response was an "experiment". Every country's approach has been unique. Distilling Sweden's strategy to simply "the country decided not to implement lockdowns or recommend masks" is ludicrous. I'm personally not a fan of Sweden's response, but I feel like these simplistic and superficial descriptions of Sweden's approach getting are getting a bit ridiculous.
> The bulk of the right wing doesn't

Look at the parent I responded to. This is a question of extremes, not mere left/right spheres. The far right / alt-right is fascist, racist and violent by definition: that's what makes them far-right. No one said being a conservative is violent.
It's unnecessary hyperbole and wrong too.
It is "secure by default" but I find that phrase disingenuous when the "default" doesn't really do anything. Sure, it's secure, but that doesn't help me much if I have to immediately make changes that could instantly make it insecure.

"Secure by default" would be most meaningful IMO when describing a "fat" OS with services and such already enabled, and configured securely.

OpenBSD's "secure by default" is nice and useful so far as you can trust it's extremely unlikely someone will be able to nail you with a 0-day when you're doing your OS install and early setup, but that's the biggest part of that.

Not to say OpenBSD doesn't do other secure things. I'm just not impressed by their claim of "secure by default".
A mistake that a lot of people make when talking about bigotry is assuming it begins and ends with loud angry people yelling slurs. Building a system that genders people based on their voice isn't "inconsiderate" it's just a transphobic thing to do. Systematic biases don't require malice from any individual working within them to perpetuate; but that doesn't make them any less real and doesn't mean that we shouldn't just accept that all tech should also support them.
> The issue I see is that women would not find guys who had to pay attractive because it implies desperation.

I think that calling this a browser is the same as calling a script running firefox on the remote end and connecting via VNC a browser.
They're still struggling to give away stuff that they've (somewhat implicitly) promised to give away, like their research.
That's very surprising to me. In case I wasn't clear, I'm referring specifically to salaried pay and not hourly pay, where more frequent payouts are the norm.

Admittedly, I only have my own anecdotal evidence among my own experiences, friends, and family, but I can't think of anyone I've had the salary conversation with that mentioned getting paid other than monthly and would be curious to see what the actual breakdown is in the US.

Edit: This [1] article states that 59% of the US workforce is hourly, so it's accurate to say that bi-weekly is the most common frequency among all jobs in the US, but I can't find any resources that focus on the breakdown specifically among salaried workers.

Not sure I would classify CableOne/Sparklight as a large cable ISP. Their website says they service about 900k customers. Even if all of these customers had internet service this would put them fairly far down the list of ISPs. I would more classify them as a medium sized ISP.
This is pretty amazing. Did not expect video and mouse control to work. For brew and iTerm2 I did have to use CTRL instead of command though.
It sounds like bonuses and stock grants would be the obvious workaround -- or are those also covered by the salary band limits?
Offsets aren’t useful information, since they can be derived from the timezone and change with DST.

You should always store date times in UTC, and can store the timezone used to create them alongside that or use an account wide timezone setting.

Indeed, not to mention the GPL explicitly forbids this[1].

Ah, indeed I conflated the "transformative" part from the book scanning, which makes them searchable. That's definitely a value-addition of the process, to me. Oh well, I'll leave the comment as it stands, flawed as it may be.

As far as signing a ToS / license, yeah you're right in principle, but I have no doubt that right will, as it was in this case, be under heavy legal artillery for the foreseeable future. Even the NFL hasn't bothered to change their tune with their "...is prohibited" disclaimer, which is fundamentally unenforceable. Maybe if that kind of dishonest truth stretching were an actionable offense, the stakes would be a little higher and cases more interesting.
I don't believe this article was implying that Apple owed anything in particular to developers, but rather, laying out all the issues on the table for Apple developers to digest. Self-censorship of criticism against Apple really only contributes to information asymmetry. Conversely, feeling free to publish criticisms helps developers make informed decisions about what platforms to target.

Indeed, there is a section of the article where he quotes Arment on the possibility of Apple's hostility towards developers driving some of them to the Android platform.

That said, I think the rest of your comments are on the mark. In the long-run of a sufficiently competitive market, firm profits fall to 0. The App Store lets any indie dev compete, but there is a reason some of the biggest firms don't like competition and indie developers should understand that it's only going to get harder to make a killing in apps.
Just let lazy evaluation deal with the problem.
I'm actually starting on the hunt for an employer in NYC right now, but there are so many co's hiring its somewhat daunting as to where to start.

"Predictably Irrational" Dan Ariely is a book on exactly such marketing tricks, it's a really good read.
Nope. If the trustworthiness of all browsers was zero, people would do their banking in person. You're trying to get away with arguing only the relative and not absolute trust of browsers is the only thing that matters. Not gonna happen.

It isn't. You can use the analysis algorithms to hide your traffic in a bunch of garbage. If China banned encrypted traffic it would be easier though.
I flagged this article:

1) poor style, using his own experience to draw vast generalizations

2) clear editorializing, so the author is pushing an agenda and makes no attempt at objectivity

2) data is possibly cooked. For instance, the author says removing recent immigrants in Europe could raise the score by 50 points, then goes on to look at the white population for the US, and it's now 24 points ahead of Europe. So you corrected one country and not the others and are draw huge conclusions from that fact?
There was actually a lawsuit won in California that roasted coffee has carcinogenic compound however the state regulators quashed it. I'm surprised people don't continue to make a bigger deal about this. Why did the judge agree that it needs a warning?

I used to respect the NYTimes, and it was a real shock to realize what's happening now, but they've really lost their reputation to me in the last year.

On the one hand I see the EFF do fantastic work like this deep diving into the fundamental problems with supporting centralized monopolies.

On the other hand, they are still telling people to use Signal, a centralized service that operates with the very open goal if centralizing all user communications in a proprietary closed network.

They seem conflicted.

It's a bad reply!

Narrowly because it's actually unfair point by point, as you say.

And slightly dishonest, because Scott does in fact entertain ideas that are scandalous to an expected arrival from the NYT. (Though not, I would say, for the reasons they might assume.)

But also more broadly, it doesn't take the opportunity to make intelligible to that arrival his insider's view of these related-but-distinct phenomena (his blog, the Rationalists, "Grey Tribe", the counter-techlash). Which the article predictably muddles.

Perhaps saddest to me, by responding defensively (however understandably!), he reinforces the emphasis in the piece on this sort of culture war stuff. Rather than perhaps channeling this new interest towards the meta-science and history and psychiatry and the like.
Telegram is my go-to because it has a browser client and a native Windows Desktop client.
It's not only expensive, SMS is dangerous too! There is huge amount of fraud around SMS and the “SIM swap” technique to clone credit cards and cause all kinds of havoc, some of them with the participation of corrupted employees from telecom companies.
I think the latter. We studied formal models of leadership and management. Knowing those really helped me to put some kind of structure on the things that I was dealing with, but ultimately dealing with them came down to interpersonal skills and "walking the walk".

One of the really useful-but-unexpected things was having some kind of head-canon for "what a manager is and isn't" and (in one case) "what a CEO should actually be doing". It was really helpful having a kind of connect-the-dots picture of what should be happening and therefore what dots needed to be connected to make that picture happen.
