The real answer is, it depends. I totally understand what you are feeling.

I went through a similar situation. Was in the US for about 7 years, did both my degrees there and OPT both times. Was about to let a company I had a good relationship with apply for my H1-B, but decided to move home.

Now that I am back home, I can't explain to you the weight that has been lifted from my shoulders - to be a citizen again. It's not something that can be explained to someone who has not gone through the immigration process for a few years. But it is the most liberating feeling ever.

The beauty about the space we are involved in, is that we can start a startup from anywhere.

You don't have to live in the US. The truth is, I never saw myself moving back home either, but after I got married (she isn't an American) and had my first child - we decided it was best to raise him at home (where there is more help).

However, once my startup reaches a point where I can expand, I plan on opening an office or some sort of presence in the US - which essentially allows you to get a green card - once you are creating enough jobs, and invest enough in the US.

So don't feel like going degree -> H1-B -> green card is the only way.

All in all, I don't know your particular situation, but going home might not be ALL that bad. Especially if you can work on your startup and be earning USD living in a country with much lower cost of living.

Just my $0.02.
Can I give you some advice?

On one hand, I agree with you that there's always room for another player in SaaS. If your goals are modest then it's possible that you could reach your goals. If you manage to line up 5-6 things over two years, that could be a healthy income.

However, if you really want to create wealth — for yourself and for the world — then you need to recognize that humans are really bad at identifying problems that really need solving. You need to pack your virtual bags and go deep into the country, looking for communities of users that you'd never consider in your normal every day life.

Start researching industrial organizations, hobby clubs, non-technical groups of all kinds. Lurk on their forums and pay attention to the problems that they have. Take notes. Not every problem is a potential business, but there is a world of opportunity out there.

Go in the opposite direction as everyone else. Recognize that often low-tech solutions are best. Listen more than you speak. You will find people who desperately need you to help them, and in doing that you will likely get further ahead than building a Shopify also-ran.

Good luck.
Speaking of "complete cultural ignorance", you might want to do a little research into South Africa's long, splendid history of singing at public events, which at the football at least, the vuvuzela has largely destroyed.
I was wondering, can you do SSH remote with podman like with Docker.

I have a Windows PC where I would like to use the podman context over SSH on a Linux machine.

That's the only thing that has kept me from switching.

Ideally with VSCode Remote.
I opened a new bank account just for my gym subscription. Took me about 30 seconds to do with my existing bank’s app.
If it is FOSS, I think it will be necessary, since many modern web browsers have many problems. Will you be able to write extensions to the browser in C? Would have many feature assuming advanced users only? If so, that would be an improvement, I think.
The sad part of RMS being called a fanatic and unrealistic, is that the things he predicted about jailed hardware, software restrictions, and the like have steadily become more and more true.

App stores, the m1 macs, etc. And all under the guise of "security".

Meanwhile we experienced the mother of all "county password inspector" hacks last month.
Almost all local UK newspapers are like this now after they were purchased by Reach/the Mirror group.

The quality of the writing has really gone downhill too.
Consider volunteering and building things that are not financially motivated too.

I found networking surprisingly beneficial, even as an introvert. I ended up creating a network of informal business relationships where no money is exchanged, just leads and useful advice. We occasionally meet over drinks to talk shop.
They'll say that you signed a contract agreeing to cancel by their preferred method, so your attempt to cancel over email is not in good faith.
A cheat would just look at the detection code and be sure it doesn't violate what the anticheat is checking for.

>Having it open increases the amount of people who have eyes on the code and contribute to the code and finds exploits to patch, etc.

If your detection is to collect the names of the open windows on a computer to check for a cheat's name and then send the anticheat server the hash of the binary that opened that window how is making that information public making the anticheat stronger. The more eyes that look at that code the more cheaters who know to name their cheat windows as "Notepad." To avoid being found. If you find an exploit there is no patch.
This can also get expensive really fast
I'm a freelancer and get work from two main sources: friends and former colleagues; and RentACoder.

RentACoder has worked very well for me, I rarely use the site to get work and instead get referrals from previous clients. It was painful working essentially for free in my first two weeks, but you make up for it pretty quickly.

One thing I would have done differently is to shout from the rooftops, right from day 1. I only recently took advantage of the likes of LinkedIn to find work, and this has also worked really, really well. Keep building your list of contacts, shout out to everyone you know that you're available and this is the list of what you can do.

Charging is simple: when you don't have many clients, drop your prices. As you get more and more work coming in, raise your prices. Keep doing so until your work drops off, then drop your prices a bit, and keep doing so until you get work. I was terrified the first time I told a few clients I was increasing my rates, I thought they'd all desert me! Break through this psychological barrier, the rewards are there for you if you do :)

Finally, get prepared for the fact that from time to time you're going to have to wait longer than you want to get paid. I've yet to get properly burned, but have definitely had to wait to get my cash from time to time.
Not sure what's the gain for Apple. Looks like a rumor that benefits the speculator.

Or Apple wants ARM to also design desktop chip for its Mac? Unthinkable...
Can't it be both? (I haven't actually read it, but it's on my to-do list. Apparently not very soon, since every copy in the US has just been sold three times over...)
A friend of a friend was in charge of sending out enforcement letters for previous World (or maybe it was Euro) Cups.

I'd absolutely expect them to send out angrygrams for this.
Used MacBook Pro. Seriously, they are the best laptops around right now and if you buy used they will cost a usual amount of money.
You're more likely to hire the wrong person, not less, if you refuse to hire people without certifications. Certifications have been discredited in high-end security.
2 people died tragically: A police officer from the effects of rioters and an unarmed female shot by a police officer.

The three others died of natural causes - basically the strain of the protest tipped them over with heart-attacks and strokes.

What I find interesting is these details don’t seem to be communicated by the media - leading many to think that the rioters killed five people.
> What did you want to compare that to?

How about this:

"it's confirmed that it's antifa" is one of the most delusional things I've seen.

All the ones identified and arrested are obvious Trump and qAnon supporters.
It probably won't, but it makes it harder for such narratives to reach other people that may otherwise get radicalized.
> Human doctors were historically put on call for up to 24 hours at a time as part of their learning process in part so they would see a patient's condition evolve over time while the doctor was still young and healthy enough to endure this grueling process. Having seen it for a time as part of their training, they retained that knowledge when they were older and could recognize a stage of a moving target.

Isn't it more because, unlike most other fields, the medical field systematically refuses to learn best practices to hand-over information? So they prefer to have a heavily sleep-deprived resident they can abuse rather than a better way to document and to pass information.
Poor guy. Zuck banned him from Facebook and Instagram. Jack banned him from Twitter too.

What will happen to his cherished Freedom of Speech?

Well, he and his followers can always sign up on TikTok.

This has been my experience. I used to help moderate a forum, and never had any issue at all banning people for posting racist stuff up until 2016. Then people started calling that "political" and insisted I was biased against conservatives after I banned someone (who happened to be of a certain political affiliation) for making a thread full of just "fuck muslims". It caused drama and I left. People are overly primed for the narrative that conservatives are irrationally oppressed online and they ignore details to make it fit.
For those that don't know, the BBC says that ...

Extinction Rebellion (XR for short) wants governments to declare a "climate and ecological emergency" and take immediate action to address climate change. It describes itself as an international "non-violent civil disobedience activist movemen.
From a cursory look I did on this a while back, I believe it does the initial submission for you, and then redirects you to the confirmation URL. Could be wrong, but if that's correct, it's probably going to look to Craigslist like a single server is doing a lot of auto-submissions...
I hope you have backups and have tested restoring them.
Yup, they've got a variety of solutions. Of course, the point is that that's a pretty huge up-front cost compared to (for example) $10 to get the data from those 100 PDF forms you've got in a folder somewhere.

The vast majority of the functionality we'll be offering has no direct parallel to any existing software package. That will become very clear as we flesh out the types of jobs that are available.
One thing that I've been thinking about a lot lately is that different people have different risk tolerances.

Conflicts like this one can emerge when people have different levels of risk tolerance that cause incompatibilities. It's not like one person is right and the other is wrong by using or not using WP3 RC.
If you don't expect support, how is it reasonable to write a blog post sullying his reputation when he did not provide it?
I really doubt that's true. You're saying that instead of using a poorly-documented mencode filter to fade a video in and out, you'd rather have to write your own filter or not be able to use mencode for the job at all?

While working on a project with a tight deadline, I've needed complex functionality that wasn't well-documented, and I've needed complex functionality that wasn't there. When it wasn't there, I was forced to produce complex functionality that wasn't documented. If I'm generous enough to release that for others to use, reference, and modify for free, then the last thing I want to hear is somebody bitching about how I didn't document it well enough for them. I have other things to do, and for me it was a one-off project.

In a pinch, source code is documentation, and it's pretty hard to make an argument that undocumented source code is worse than nothing at all. At least then when you're implementing your nicely-documented tool (because you'd rather have documentation than get stuff done), you'll have a reference implementation to look at and test against.

Note: I'm not arguing that documentation isn't important, I absolutely agree that it is. I just think it's absurd to rank the importance of documentation above the stuff that it's documenting.
2. Profligacy: recklessly wasteful; wildly extravagant, profligate behavior; Anderson’s profligacy cost him his job and its better you tighten up your belt before you go the same way.

5. Profligate: using money, resources, etc., in a way that wastes them; The firm’s profligate spending only hastened its downfall.

List fail.
Title is misleading, he was using the unstable dev branch. There's no evidence here that the stable branch does this.
Including a neologism coined by one of their columnists as #6 is beneath the dignity of the rest of the list. It hasn't made it to Google "define". The top hits when Googleing it all refer to Maureen Dowd "inventing" it, so you can't really say it has caught on.

I imagine from the context it was used it should not have really stumped that many readers, who would have been familiar with "schadenfreude", and so have gotten the joke.
While the point you make is true, the parent is correct. Beware of this company if you use their GXT product. They continually treat their GXT CUSTOMERS poorly.
> I and everyone I have an influence on, are refusing to buy Chinese goods, that's the limit of my power (which is fuck all honestly).

What device did you type this message on? Odds are very high it was assembled in China with a significant portion, if not majority, of Chinese-made components, and the company that sold it to you either has a significant presence in the Chinese market, or wishes it did.

I understand the concern here, but for better or worse, China is where pretty much anything that uses transistors is made, and it's just not practical to boycott everything that passes through there.

(Not to mention that it's not really fair to punish Chinese business-owners for the actions of their government when they have even less accountability over it than we do over ours. Is it fair for people of other countries to not buy from American companies because of our government's absurd incarceration rates?)

How do you know this was his clear intention? Everyone is going to have a different opinion on what a "well-meaning, well-intended app" is and restricting certain apps based on what one considers "well-meaning" is a very myopic and inconsiderate view to have.
You do. I have done it. There are programs that can parse this information and correlate it to other information sources such as snpedia.
Well then why do you post conspiracy theory sounding empty rhetorical questions¿

Not exactly LWN, but you can find a good sum-up of interesting news/changes/discussions concerning all the BSDs here: http://www.dragonflydigest.com/

I also watch tedu's blog (http://www.tedunangst.com/flak/) and the OpenBSD tag on lobsters.
I think that would hold more weight with people on this issue if it weren't the case that there's already an appropriate verb here—"log in".
My WHS has 4 HDs and its transfer speed is still network bound (100 Mbps). Much faster than the Drobo it replaced.

My biggest gripes with the drobo were loudness (no really, it sounds like a jet engine), inability to recover data directly off the HD if the drobo dies, horrible transfer speeds, and horrible support.

It's one pro was simplicity.
StumpWM is another one for you lispers out there. Tiling WMs are indeed awesome. However, some applications just don't play nice with them - if you use one of these apps frequently, you will have problems and probably end up switching to something else (Enlightenment in my case).
What I'm surprised is why posterous doesn't do more check on all the headers sent by the email software (X-Mailer, and so on) and ask for a confirmation if those other headers are different enough from a known correct configuration...

Of course someone who received an email from the blog owner could use that to fake all those headers but at least it would prevent people posting by simply guessing the email address.
The space shuttle was under enough control to prevent a catastrophe around the crash site.

In contrast, what we see with BP is a failed experiment that is out of control for months. It is not a demonstration of technological progressiveness. The experiment was falsely labeled as "technology" in order to receive more public trust when it was started.

This is a marketing trick we know from software companies as well. (Fortunately, many companies are honest in that regard.)

However, maybe it is just a question of wording, i.e. whether big, risky experiments count or don't count as technology. My personal understanding of technology implies some minimum degree on maturity. In particular, anticipatory acting should be at least possible.
Although math is still really boring!

People rely on a lot of "free" Google services, but don't realize that it takes an enormous amount of people to keep things running without security issues. Another point is that, it takes hundreds of thousands of paying customers to get something to a point it is self sustainable. Just because a few random users are ready to pay $50 for the service, if at all, does not make it successful for Google or any other company.

Short of "regulating" these companies to open-source or sell the infra to a caretaker entity when services are shutdown, there is no other option. Even then, it is a massive ask of Google (that every service be separable from anything proprietary Google infra provides), and it also unrealistic to expect another company / governing body to run it without issues.

At this point, it is what it is. If you use a free service, expect it to die at some point in the future. This happens to many services where the entire company disappears. The fact that Google survived 20 years shouldn't be held against them if products went down and the company didn't. Numbers are enough to sway the stats and make Google the bad company that shuts-down services too often.
How is that possible? LinkedIn blocked mining the data this way several years ago.

Is it still possible if you pay LinkedIn enough? Or is this old data?

Grr I've seen many posts like this recently jumping on the slightest stuff - at the risk of being down-voted, what the hell people? I expected better, pretending like we can just hack together pieces of crap and pretend like it doesn't matter is exactly how we end up with 99% of software out there sucking and the few who bother trying for more cleaning up, in fact that's how google won out in the first place.

The quality of software is not unrelated to how its implemented. The quality of software is defined by how it's implemented.

The user might not care about the details of how you got there but they sure do care about the quality of the software itself only they don't see it in terms of the underlying details, only what the product does for them and how it does it.

Now can we stop denigrating our craft, please.
I'm a Navy physician, with an undergrad degree in physics, working at one of the Joint Task Forces assigned to the whole Fukushima mess.

If this had been taken in Tokyo, which is at background, I would have said it's something else. But right there, at the reactors, they are still very much in the several mrem/hr regime. Someone could probably calculate this. I don't think the "speed value" from the EV system is going to be of much use for this calculation, though the "aperture value" will. Nor does the color of the pixel tell you anything other than the color of the pixel that was hit by a gamma ray.

Never the less, a simple count could give you a pretty good first order estimate. Assume the radiation here is around 10 mrem/hr on 15 March (there may be a more accurate published estimate out there, I'm just going on trends . . . I'll reboot into Windows and see if I can get you more accurate info off our share drive).

[Edit]: Okay, so the 15th was the day of the biggest releases, ranging up to 12000 μsV/hr. Reactor 2 had an explosion at 0610 local, the reactor 4 fire was from 0600 to 1116 and there was a second explosion at reactor 2 at 1006. The 12000 μSv/hr peak is around 0930 with a second peak of 8800 at about 1000. I'm just looking at a graph, but it appear to decay down to around 300 μSv/hr over the rest of the day, then there's another, unlabeled event at about midnight. The metadata says the image was taken at 0858. This is in the middle of the upsurge. The area could be anywhere between 1000 μSv/hr and 12000 μSv/hr.

Are there other pictures available from different times?
The measure of a good programmer is in the quality of the code he produces. The measure for a good business guy is the value he has generated for himself and for others.

If a business person hasn't been able to generate value for himself (be it money, connections, social proof) then he's the equivalent of a programmer who hasn't written a line of code. It's that simple.
Actually, I don't see them as competitors at all. If you really want flexibility/configurability, go with them. I just wanted this to provide a baseline and put some of McClure's stuff into an actual tool that anyone could use.

Someday, I imagine that I'll have a set of public pages where you can actually see "baselines" of what basic conversion rates look like for saas/hosting/consumer/whatever companies.

Fundamentally, I just want to see a bit more transparency. Startups shouldn't have to operate in the dark.
That's part of it, but the real question is how to get people to know about it, and not just anyone, but your target customer.
I wonder how Apple will respond with iPhone 5 and the launch Mac OS Lion, which unites mobile and desktop devices...
I hadn't heard of Blank Label before, and fell in love with the idea after seeing this.

The price is very good if you're used to buying shirts from a quality label like Emile Lafaurie, Paul Smith, Burberry, etc.

For me, though, I've switched to shopping outlets like Nordstrom Rack, Century 21, and Filenes - so I've gotten used to getting those kind of labels for about $20-$40 per shirt. I have to be a little less picky about exact styles, but I always end up with nice shirts.

I tried customizing a couple shirts on Blank Label. The cheapest I was able to get was $50, and that was essentially a standard shirt, nothing I couldn't get at any store, and I don't know how it will look or fit.

When I started playing with it and having fun, I quickly ran the shirt up to $92 - and could have easily sent it far higher.

It's a wonderfully well-designed web site, and fun to use, but hard for me to see the value in buying shirts there.

Best of luck to the Blank Label guys, I just thought I'd give my "why I didn't buy" feedback, since they seem to be here on HN.

They also very briefly tweeted "@namedotcom We sent you a DM, can you please respond with a live support number?"

Seems like they were having trouble contacting a human and had to resort to public shaming, and then deleted it once they got through.
Am I the only one who doesn't get the cute joke behind notion using a .so TLD?
> Responding to a threat doesn't mean the threat is valid

Quite fundamentally disagree there. Responding to a threat definitely validates it. If it's not a valid threat, there's no need to respond.
FWIW, I have dozens of Ubuntu VMs on Azure. Never got an email like this.
In those cases, is there medication or treatment available to help deal with the insulin response? I know hyper / hypothyroidism is a thing as well (although research has shown -thyroidism may not influence weight significantly: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6711558/)
> If it was a privacy problem before, it remains so.

That is a very binary view. Yes, it is still a privacy problem; but now the privacy problem is with a company that is not abusing personal data on a massive scale.
