You are off to a great start--nice work! Here's my initial impressions:

1. Is this for hiking or climbing? Your homepage text made the target audience/user-base a little unclear. I think you will find that the two communities are unique and strategies to market will differ between the two. Perhaps refine the focus slightly.

2. You will absolutely need to seed this with content. I hit the homepage and had no desire to proceed since I don't see any user generated content.

3. What advantages would I have using Hikify over say Trails.com or the Trailspace forums? I want to share/participate with an existing community. How will you create yours?

Remember, if this gains traction it will be about the community you establish first, and the technology that powers it second.
What a great story - I shortened it with v.gd for an IM status message, thought I'd share the link: http://v.gd/todayyou
You have a point here.

1) Everything that makes people aware, or gives media attention to how easily they leak data or how easy it is to manipulate non-encrypted data is good. It will encourage people to use more secure services.

2) It will encourage services to finally start using SSL or other encrypted protocols which in the end will be good for everyone. After all, you don't want the ISP to be inserting ads in your site.
It wouldnt at all surprise me if i was, i share many of the same characteristics but on a more subtle level.
Leave the @pepbot.com part outside of the input so we don't have to type it.
It's a great marketing hack actually.

Edit: why the downvotes really ? I really believe it's a clever way to build upon an existing brand while providing a service that people I know are willing to use.
Even treating the UK as homogeneous is silly - even within somewhere as small as Scotland there is a huge amount of difference in how people view entrepreneurship depending on which region you are in:

- Post-industrial Glasgow

- Finance and government based Edinburgh

- Oil oriented Aberdeen

- Farming/fishing/tourism of the Highlands

In fact the very first time I heard anyone talking about trying to get finance for a business was a school friend of mine when we were 20 - he was trying to raise enough money to buy his own fishing trawler.

I grew up in an environment in the North of Scotland where there were no large employers and a lot of small independent businesses - starting your own business wasn't seem as a big deal.

EDIT: Updated style.
<Anecdotally> I've formed three series LLCs (one in IL and two in DE.) The first two times, they were basically used to register investment fund families so that each individual fund didn't have to be registered. We saved a significant amount of time and money in the long run, but we used legal and tax professionals that have expertise in using series LLCs for EXACTLY that purpose. The team had securities attorneys and compliance officers triple-checking our work and we were using it for much more than just saving on basic filing fees, etc. I would estimate we saved in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. But it was a very specific use case, and there have been many mutual fund/investment companies that have went before us and tested the boundaries.

The last time I formed a series LLC it was for almost exactly what you are proposing - a consulting firm/startup incubation company. I just went with my gut feeling based on what I had read on the internet and my prior experience with the fund companies. I had the series LLC formed by an attorney with series LLC experience in DE. I think I paid under $700 for the formation. Overall, it has been a HUGE mistake. The costs and hassles of keeping up the separation of the series (separate bank accounts, separate accounting systems, etc.) has been a pain and has far outweighed any of the benefits gained. In fact, it has been a pain just trying to do simple things like open a bank account for series companies here in IL. Bank officers are not familiar with series LLCs and their systems aren't set up for that, so I was issued company credit cards that have the wrong name on them, checks with the wrong name on them, etc. Branding is a nightmare if you comply with the letter of the law in some states. I just really didn't know what I was getting myself into for this usage scenario. I will most likely have to restructure the companies in the near future for various reasons...probably at significant expense.

As others have said, the series LLC form is not as well-known by the public or as legally tested as other entities. You really should have a great reason for choosing a series structure before you do so, and you should definitely speak with a tax attorney or accountant that has experience in this area. Some of the pros and cons are very easy to misunderstand. If I were doing it again, I would personally NOT use a series LLC for an incubator/consulting arrangement.
Then what about a black, lesbian, Jewish female?

I mean, Jewish folks are doing pretty good now, but in the past that would certainly have been the most persecuted and rare combination I can imagine!
I have had friends who've gone to work for Yahoo & the Big Goog. They've all quit save one, who is a fun guy but one who, professionally speaking, (sadly) likes to be told what to do. The reasons: boredom, not enough freedom, being stuck using inefficient tools, politicking, and at one point my friend's boss's boss pointed at my friend in a meeting like she was a secretary and asked, "Why is she here?" -- when my friend was responsible for launching a big web property for said boss just a few weeks prior.

All big companies are pretty much the same. The trappings are different but at heart, you can't grow to a huge size and maintain a great culture… unless you do something truly radical. And free lunches and nannies -- that's not radical enough.
The problem is, that the other person doesn't get to chose to participate in your game - regardless if he/she is comfortable with rejecting people or not.
Not an expert, but porting graphics is the biggest effort. This patch appears to add just the CPU part.

Here is one effort to port all of M1 macs to linux:

I have a very similar Dell. I'm not sure it fits your use case, but I just run on the Intel graphics with the nvidia one powered down and no nvidia drivers installed. The Intel card runs multi-monitor 4K desktop stuff smooth as silk (I use Wayland, but I checked X too).

Whenever I need to run CUDA stuff (my only use case for the nvidia GPU), I power it up, and pass it through to a VM that also runs Linux, but with the horrid nvidia stuff installed. Works like a charm.
I agree, but I think Vancouver has a pretty good handle on its car/parking situation. That's Vancouver proper, not the suburbs. Most new buikdings that go up have their parking underground, and then drivers in the city are squeezed for the most part in terms of parking options and so on. The parking lots that are still around seem to be from older buildings, that then get replaced with higher density eventually. When I do drive, it's actually still pretty pleasent, because it's for necessarily driving dependant activities.

Even though there's quite a lot of electric cars, there is still a remarkable level of noise generated next to patios along main roads, so improving that would be nice, if we can assume that cars won't go away entirely.

Compare that to the prairies, Alberta, or even the island, and it's a world of difference in terms of surface level lots. Would be curious what your opinion is as (presumably) a bc resident.

Security is not black and white. It is a spectrum of possibilities and an arms race between security measures and new attack strategies. So lowering all your barriers because one of them could be already weak is not a good strategy.

If you're sending your password in plain text without HTTPs, then saying "ok, nevermind, we already have that problem so let's just not use any CSRF protection" you're just making things worse.

Authentication tokens that allow anyone reading them to impersonate you are bad, no discussion about it. Go and google for this if you don't believe me. Ask any security expert (which I'm not).

Cookies have the exact same problem. Except if you set the http-only flag in them, which is what I'm advocating for here.

You can still use localStorage, just not for security tokens.
Helping people with severe diseases is still far away from creating the perfect humans.

You turning this positive into a negative is distasteful.
Would it be possible to depend on the earth's magnetic field for positioning ? Migratory birds use it but I don't know how precise it is.
>The feds have been pressuring financial services companies to "de-platform" legal businesses, including those in the adult industry, for years.

Absolutely. It's a very complicated subject.
You're making this much more grandiose than it needs to be, bringing up Randi and the supernatural and all that. We're not arguing about what's physically possible, we're arguing about whether performers do certain tricks or not.

Take for example the trick where a volunteer is asked to draw a simple picture on a pad of paper, and the performer then names it (or draws a similar picture). This can be done with a gimmick (e.g. a carbon transfer paper in the clipboard you ask them to write it down on) or without (just go up and guess). What you're saying, by "it's 100% deception and trickery," is not that the latter is impossible, just that no one does it.

I think they do. For one, I went to some open mic nights in college, there were definitely some people who believed every blonde woman will draw a cat and choose the Queen of Hearts, and who sweat a lot when they don't. Second, I've seen routines where (I believe) the performer did a prediction, missed it, and then pivoted in to what looked like a fallback trick. It seems safe to presume that, when the performer gets the guess right, the trick ends differently.

(And if you were in the audience on those nights, you'd say, "That feat can't be done reliably, it must be a gimmick!" To which I'd reply as I did originally, "...or it can be done unreliably.")

Of course, a lot of mentalist tricks are indeed gimmicked. If you want an example of one that I think isn't, search youtube for any of the routines where Derren Brown cold reads strangers wearing clown makeup. I'm sure those could be gimmicked, but why would they? It would be a lot harder than just doing genuine cold reading. (You do agree that exists, right? If not, what's your theory to explain the wikipedia article? More confederates?)
IMO it’s FedEx and UPS that are bad at it. I looked at shipping a few pound box from Chicago to Germany on the cheapest intl shipping option FedEx offered a few years ago (on a corporate account no less) and it was $200+ IIRC. Unless you’re doing millions per year with them, they seem to not want your business.

(Comparison is that I can ship a mountain bike across the US for $50, no big deal.)
> Every loop should have a limit. There should be no unbounded object allocation.

I’ve recently created some mini-languages (DSL’s) for everyone users to control various software and I’ve found that using a synchronous transformational language[1], which has no unbounded loops (or anything) and is therefore guaranteed to complete, and which runs in a stop-the-world fashion (ie each invocation acts as if atomic, whether it actually is or if implementation tricks like transaction rollback + retries are used) makes it easier both to develop and for end users especially ones who aren’t programmers. I’m a huge fan of this approach for correct and secure software.

Whatever bad things you see in this world - it's done by java developers. Go, scala, kotlin, JavaScript, python developers would never do anything as bad as java developers. I see that a lot of people stick to that mantra.
> Am very surprised, after reports a while back of GPL (etc) apps not being approved.

it was an issue until Xcode 7 : prior to that you had to pay 99$ to Apple for the right of uploading something to your own iDevice. Since Xcode 7 this is not necessary anymore.
While Amazon clearly does not have their workers best interest in mind, this is not a short-term profit driven company. On the contrary, Amazon is focused on growing and solidifying its long-term position at the expense of short-term profits.
Two ways in which this is helpful. The list is not exhaustive:

1. The system that gives a service to the public is publicly accessible by default. The system that rotates its credentials it doesn't need to be; it can sit behind your firewall listening only on one port for ssh, with firewall rules allowing access only from a bastion host.

2. The credential rotator also connects to your server and drops credentials into it; you don't call from your server to the credentials rotator, because see Point 1 above. This limits the attack surface.

You're right that everything is potentially vulnerable, and so would the credential rotator system. However, by rotating secrets this way, you shift the locus of security to a smaller place that you can defend much better.

I second this. I automated my job to the point of only working about two hours a week. I left because I was bored and my resume was beginning to atrophy.
US federal government. I've worked in that sphere and there are so many federal employees out there with no skill at all, doing nothing, that get promoted for time in service or minority status. They earn accolades throughout their careers and finally a retirement check for next to no effort. The downside is that it's a horribly depressing environment.
I'm a little surprised that nobody is mentioning that any kind of blockchain payment system creates a permanent, public ledger. One US Attorney called Bitcoin's blockchain "prosecution futures" as it's only a matter of time before the sender/receiver addresses for transactions are correlated with unique individuals. This permanent, public record of a transaction between a Signal account and another user or a service flies in the face or Signal's presumed goal of completely private e2ee communication.
No. Not every app needs to become an operating system for life. We can have multiple apps on a device with little to no inconvenience. Carrying multiple devices is much more cumbersome.
I dont think the number of taps changes anything for the target user of this app; the "free netflix" promise would have my mom calling me to help her follow the screenshot instructions and scam herself.
At this stage, it's so easy to create a new "framework" that they shouldn't be called frameworks anymore. They're just a way to organize code.

I mean I've probably made one of these for each app I built. It takes a couple of days to write and then you can modify it to fit your very needs...
>You’re totally correct that there are trade offs.

Sadly, Signal's developers don't think trade offs exist
I have often wondered if you can respond to a blasphemy charge, with a blasphemy charge, as long as the first charge is from a different group than your own, on the basis that a demand to abide by the principles of a different faith than your own is clearly a blasphemous request.
For your first request, that's already implemented. It's just not in the readme for some reason. Maybe a PR would be appreciated

The issue with widening highways is that traffic doesn't exist in a vacuum. You aren't widening the surface roads that back up into the highway or the interchanges to other highways, that is the crux of traffic. You widen one pipe but it feeds into the same set of narrow straws anyway, and your sink is just as backed up.
This is sort of how Buddhist prayers are handled in some cultures: you have an automated (wind powered) wheel spin and "emit" prayers on your behalf. This was the inspiration for Clarke's story (take a simple idea to its ultimate conclusion).

Roger Zelazny's take on this (for Hinduism instead) was IMHO the best, as a trivial side point to a plot element in Lord of Light.
You're trying to change the context here. Trump's supporters weren't expressing their dissatisfaction with the way the elections were run. They were violently seizing the capitol building to prevent the constitutional process of the peaceful transfer of power.
Yep. The comment presumes that there is a need to delegate power to a single arbiter (there isn't).
This is false. The only lawful grounds for a lawsuit is discrimination against a protected class such as race, gender, religion. Political affiliation is not protected in any way.
I haven't looked into this article, but over Christmas we went to visit my Grandma at her nursing home, which meant we were separated by a window and had to talk over the phone.

The latency (which I never really notice when I'm not also looking at the person talking) made it significantly harder to have a fluid conversation than it should have been.

Made me wonder if something more old fashioned like a walkie-talkie might have been better.
how can you compare between going from horse to a gas engine, with going from gas propelled car to electric propelled car?
"Defund the police" doesn't mean eliminating the police, or reducing their ability to respond to in-progress violence.

It means reducing the scope of the police so that they aren't the ones dealing with things like homelessness and mental illness, things that they usually are not trained to deal with.

Here's a good explanation [1].

Don’t know why this obvious satire was downvoted.
Love it. One thing I noticed is that in the example, they are clicking on div elements (I assume) within the html page to trigger the contextual menu. Those div elements contain anchor links, but the demo'er is careful not to click the link.

I wonder if it will ever be possible to detect the difference in the user's intention via the browser. The iPhone OS seems to be capable of this; i.e. it feels as though it can detect the difference between a concentrated Push and a slight tap (someone may know for sure - I'm just speaking from user experience). I look forward to seeing how mobile browser APIs evolve to allow richer touch-specific interaction in web apps. Assuming that the current touch paradigm is sticking around for a while.
Id say go with the language you prefer. If you fancy yourself a Pythonista then go with Django. If you prefer Ruby syntax then go with Rails. Both languages are different to C#, or VB.NET which is where you are probably coming from so dip into each and follow the path of least resistance.

Honestly when it comes down to productivity there isn't much to be gained from using one over the other.

I guess one thing that is in Djangos favour are the free out of the box Admin screens which are truly awesome.
I hope this is a joke. Does anyone have real data instead of just a rumor?
How ironic is it, that a design blog with an opinion piece on why web designers shouldn’t use Ad blockers and yet the site is flooded with ads and has zero content above the fold?

That is not ironic at all...they obviously support ads (since they have lots of ads on their site), and therefore they oppose ad blockers (as expressed in the opinion piece).
We can only assume their own tweets won't be blocked by any content filter...
Are the workers that are getting paid in advance 6.2% more productive or are the workers not getting paid in advance 6.2% less productive because of that? Both scenarios make sense to me. I can envision working better if I don't have to constantly worry about my financial situation. But I can also envision working less if I know some people are getting paid in advance, but not me.

Either way, boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I poop on company time.
I and probably many others intend to develop reproducible figures. The way to do that in python / matlab is to have a script which loads data from disk and then produces a figure (a png / pdf). You then execute that file many times each time tweaking one aspect of the figure. Julia makes that workflow almost impossibly slow.
"never been kicked off of a platform, so clearly there’s something off with what you’ve said"

I've never gotten COVID, so clearly there is something wrong with how you breathe!

Do some reading, google employees got banned from gmail and never found out why.

There is an important point that you are missing - I am not claiming that you can't kick people off your platform. I am asking that you have fair due process, and it's the same rules for me and for some loudmouth politician.
> It was in part a big rip-off (Newsom paid 4x and spent >$1B of the California taxpayers' money

Are you really claiming that Fauci is making national statements because he is trying to provide cover for Newsom? You live in California so Newsom's policies are in the front of your mind, but people outside California don't give a rat's ass.

COVID-19 is a new virus and at the time Fauci made that statement there were a few hundred cases total in the US and research had barely begun. We've learned a lot more about the virus since then, and I'd be surprised if the advice hadn't changed over time, similar to the early aggressive use of ventilators.
Could you give examples of one side attempting to show one potential outcome as the worst thing possible?
