Tips to Work Better at Home
Hi everyone, I've also been working at home since the corona virus was found and it ruined everything.

I do this things to make it easier to work at home, If you know better tips and do it yourself explain to us

-I made my room look like an office, and I threw away the distractions, you know, like ps4 :) or something like that.

-When I'm working I try to stay away from any news and just focus on my work.

-At home, try not to get into discussions that you know are long; these days talking about Corona virus can be one of those dangerous and endless debates.

-Schedule a time for your work, for example start at 8am and finish at 5pm

And for the last tip: When you work remotely you need to work harder and stay in touch with your manager and explain what you have done. This is because when your manager does not see you, he constantly thinks that you are not working, so you should try to build trust between you and your manager.

I hope this situation ends soon. be safe

The Palestinian Perspective (Google Tech Talks)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oSkevV-CoO4&feature=channel
Google Tech Talks
February 17, 2009

ABSTRACT

When I first visited the Palestinian territories, I was afraid I would have to hide my identity as an American and possibly wear a headscarf. To my surprise, I was warmly welcomed exactly as I was, and after more than two years living and working there, it remains one of my favorite spots on earth. The people are charming and generous, the landscape is gorgeous, and the parties, concerts, and beer gardens in Ramallah are world-class.

But behind all this looms the conflict, the occupation, and violence. Since September 2000, more than 5,500 Palestinians and 1,100 Israelis have been killed. A series of walls, fences, roadblocks, checkpoints, army bases, and settlements keep the Palestinians in the West Bank under an almost constant state of siege and strangle the economy of many towns and villages, including Bethlehem. Gaza has been turned into an open-air prison whose desperate inmates can only get vital supplies through smuggling tunnels -- which also transport weapons that Palestinian militants use to target Israeli civilians.

Using photographs, stories, and statistics, this presentation colors in the Palestinian experience, with all its complexity and contradictions, as it is rarely shown on the news or in books. It is a fascinating world of beauty and terror, of hospitality and homicide, of the absurd and the sublime constantly together -- a microcosmic view of a little-understood human story with global implications.

Speaker: Pamela Olson
Pamela Olson graduated from Stanford in 2002 with a major in physics. She lived in Ramallah, West Bank, for a year and a half beginning in the summer of 2004 and worked as a journalist for the Palestine Monitor. She interviewed the first elected female mayor in the West Bank, witnessed the 2005 Disengagement from inside the Gaza Strip, and served as the foreign press coordinator for Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi's Presidential campaign against Mahmoud Abbas in January 2005. She later worked for a year at the Institute for Defense Analyses in Washington, DC. She is now writing a book about her time in the West Bank called Fast Times in Palestine.

Ask HN: Form builder with conditional logic for calendars?
I'm looking for a form builder that displays available calendar dates according to fields the user enters prior. I retired from programming nearly a decade ago and figured this kind of small business feature would be everywhere. I could probably dust off the keyboard and spin up a shared account on dreamhost and get something workable based on muscle memory but the thought of jamming some php into a themeforest html file is starting to trigger some PTSD.

Show HN: ChowNotes - Private Note Taking and Meal Reminder App for Foodies
http://chownotes.com
I put together this app to allow myself to keep track of my favorite restaurants and what dishes I enjoyed or disliked. I added integration with Google Places so when you create a note at a particular place, it attempts to find the address, phone number, and website so you can easily get directions, make reservations, or check out the menu online.

Its free to download and try out, feedback welcome!
Ask HN: Is there a market for cheap/non-datacenter hosting?
Over the last few months I've noticed an increasing number of posts asking for recommendations on VPS/dedicated server hosting. I got the impression that at least some of these people were looking for cheap boxes for hacking and wouldn't care too much if the cheap systems weren't backed by multiple redundant generators, UPS, and multiple backbone peering.

My idea: buy/rent an old self-storage building in a suburb, run a bundle of fiber to it, and sell space.

Any critiques or better ideas?

The YC staff is much kinder after lunch
http://venturebeat.com/2012/12/03/yc-startup-class-size-cut/
"The team at YC is changing the way it’s thinking about the startup vetting process. It still wants to look at the 'predictors of success,' but it is now also studying what makes a startup fail. Graham says it even looked at the time of day it’s accepted failed startups and realized that the YC staff is much kinder after lunch."

Meet The Grandaddy of All Internet Routers
http://www.motherboard.tv/2010/10/26/meet-the-grandaddy-of-all-internet-routers--2
It might look like an oversized gym locker, but the wires and circuitry housed in this giant metal cabinet (full image below) make up the world’s very first Internet router. Developed as an essential part of ARPANET, the experimental military communication network that gave rise to the the LOLcat-filled Interwebs of today, these machines, called Interface Message Processors (IMP), formed the first nodal access points that eventually branched out and evolved into the world wide web.

Santa Monica-based BetterWorks Offers Employee Perks For Startups
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/08/23/betterworks-employee-discounts_n_929939.html
HuffPo posted an article about a nearby startup, BetterWorks, which simplifies employee perks for small businesses.
It's a great service: businesses pay $30/month + $5/employee and get 10% or more off of food, rentals, gym memberships, and other goods/services from local businesses. Businesss set a perk allowance each month, and the employee gets to decide how best to use that allowance.

AFAIK, it's LA and SF/SV only, but they recently closed a round of funding and are going to be expanding to more cities soon. I don't know the timeline for that expansion, though.

(Disclaimer: I work for Giant Media; my boss was interviewed for this article. We use Betterworks to order food at least 4x/week. And...nobody except for the guys at BetterWorks calls the area Silicon Beach.)

DigiDoc security model
http://protogenist.wordpress.com/2012/08/28/digidoc-security-model/
The general security model of the DigiDoc and OpenXAdES ideology works by obtaining
proof of validity of the signer’s X.509 digital certificate issued by a certificate authority (CA) at
the time of signature creation.

This proof is obtained in the format of Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) response
and stored within the signed document. Furthermore, (hash of the) created signature is sent
within the OCSP request and received back within the response. This allows interpreting of
the positive OCSP response as “at the time I saw this digitally signed file, corresponding
certificate was valid”

Patent 20120278904,

That patent application goes by the name Content Distribution Regulation by Viewing User. This application is for a "content presentation system and method" (the Xbox with Kinect, in this case) allowing content providers (Microsoft or whatever video company is participating) to "regulate the presentation of content on a per-user-view basis." With this system Microsoft describes how "the users consuming the content on a display device are monitored so that if the number of user-views licensed is exceeded, remedial action may be taken."

Why is this Show HN? It's a code example, it's something we wrote that didn't exist before in this way and you can run it and try it out. We also added a detailed write-up that we're posting here.

Disclaimer: we both work at OpenFaaS Ltd and maintain the OSS project full time.
