Has anyone out there found an actual use case for LinkedIn yet? I joined a year ago and have yet to use it for anything other than accumulating more and more professional connections. It's a well designed site, lots of connections to be made, but I can't find myself doing much else with it. I'd love to hear from somebody who thinks I'm missing an opportunity, but I don't find myself ever logging into the site unless I receive an email asking to confirm a connection request, is anybody else in the same boat?

It's not like Facebook where there is fresh content everyday (wall posts, comments, etc.) and new things to see. They are albeit superficial, but at least there's something drawing me back to the site everyday. I seem to get none of that from LinkedIn.

I can't answer your question about shipping, but I fully recommend the product; I've been using it for a few months and despite the glitches every now and again it really is quite a good device/service. This is doubly true given they'll improve as more people come online.

-----

Full stack software engineer and founder. Have been working remotely for almost a decade on a diverse set of fields and using various technologies.

I care about free and open-source software and believe in respecting users of software and services. I believe software shouldn't use frameworks or have an excess of third-party dependencies. I am security-minded and care very much for performant software.

If you or your company shares some of my values, send me an email. I am especially interested in early-stage startups and smaller teams with people with whom I can exchange knowledge and accomplish high goals.

For a taste of what I can build with Go, vanilla JavaScript and PostgreSQL take a look at my side project: https://gitfront.io

There's "negative visualization" and "voluntary discomfort", as described here: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2011/10/02/what-is-stoicism-a...

(I haven't really tried negative visualization, but I suppose I occasionally do some voluntary discomfort.)
The TechCrunch article shows a photo with one of your stickers next to an Arduino and breadboard. Is Arduino part of your curriculum as well?
Before it meant a reference to a spot in a mobile app people used the term 'deep link' to describe web resources. The OP documentation has single-page app style navigation without support for deep links, which is just a little ironic.
As an employee, I'd be wary of this -- does leaving/losing your job mean losing your home at the same time? 100-150 years ago, corporations used to do this a lot, and along with the "company store" there's a reason they got a bad reputation.
It is far too bureaucratic

In Germany I can't get welfare, because I have too many savings. After graduating from university, I also could not get unemployment benefits because I had not earned enough when working as student.

Last time my work contract / research grant was about to expire, they said I would not get unemployment benefits, because I need to have a valid government id and my id card was expired. My still valid passport would not count. Although the grant was renewed, so I did not need unemployment benefits.

Now the grant is expiring again, and probably won't be renewed soon, so I applied again. I forgot I need to apply 3 months before expiration, so I only did it 1 month before. Now they want a copy of my work contract (which I do not have, because I seem to have lost the contract) as well as a attestation from my employer how long I have worked there (which I also do not have. The university said they will write one, but have not yet). Not sure what is going to happen now
Next step: form letters that make a formal request for the deletion of all information related to you.

Won't work either but, like this, it's a nice start.
This looks like something I wanted to build. Great idea.

Currently using YouTube music, and its pretty good, except for one annoying bug that drives me crazy.
You realize of course that the logical conclusion of your argument is suicide.
InfoVizGeek is a project which talks about the different tools and technologies which would enable an individual to create data visualizations. This repository has a vast list of tools along with their licensing available. This is an exhaustive list and I would be glad to accept additional tools which you guys out there in community use.

I'm wondering about this too. I guess we'll have to wait until Part 3.

One other thing that went wrong here - through no fault of her own, the mom was in a different room with the brother. She knows what the patient normally takes, and would likely have started asking questions when she saw her son taking way more than what he usually took.
Deflation != deflationary spiral

The deflation has to be severe enough to cause people to substantially change their behavior. Suggesting that deflation always leads to a deflationary spiral (which you implicitly did) doesn't hold.

Remember, wages are sticky so people aren't necessarily going to be making less money, just that stuff will be cheaper.

As things get cheaper, it's possible that sales volumes will go up (econ 101). That could then offset any reduction is gross profit, if there is any. There may well not be, because the reduction in the output price might simply be from the reduction in the material input price.

Massive deflationary shocks cause a lot of problems. But how do you get deflationary shocks? By trying desperately to pretend deflation isn't happening for many years, and then eventually the market stops believing you (you being the central banker) and prices adjust to a more realistic level.

Perhaps the folks who are trying like mad to prevent a mild deflation are in fact the cause of the deflationary spiral that's a problem. Perhaps in their absence we'd just have mild deflation that doesn't cause the whole world to blow up all at once.
The phone is only required for setup (configuring the button's WiFi connection to your router). Once that is complete, the button talks to your router directly via WiFi, with no phone required.

> I don't see your point.

That's fine.

> Most large projects require the combined effort of many people, especially if you want to be confident in their quality and get them shipped on time, as I'm sure the NSA does. Is that supposed to be a bad thing?

Not in and of itself, it all depends on the goals and the side effects.

> Or did you just want to have fun by calling people enablers because they do something you disagree with?

No, I call them enablers because by themselves politicians typically can't do much. They need others to do the work for them.

> As for your views on privacy, I don't expect that most people can change their fundamental beliefs like what constitutes a human right.

Maybe they don't have to. Maybe we could set up a universal declaration of such rights. And maybe we could give it a sexy name, such as 'Universal Declaration of Human Rights'.

Oh wait:

I'm pretty happy with my 'outdated views' on such trifle details as privacy, and I plan on sticking around for a while still.
Looks quite cool but unfortunately doesn't work for my site right now since I use yuicompressor[0]

I don't think that would break it because you have a limited amount of time. You base it on 1/e of the number of people you expect to date not the number of potential options.
Sure, if done well that works great to generate buzz up to a certain point. Right now though I doubt there's anyone left who really wants a Clubhouse invite but can't get one (so the "exclusivity" thing isn't really driving anyone anymore), and the casual passers-by aren't going to bother jumping through hoops and will just move on.
one difference is that you can really afford to be lazy with elixir. If your pattern match fails, one option is to let it throw a MatchError. Especially if the failure is rare, you just let the process die and your supervisors will restart the process into a sane state, and hopefully the next time you hit the code path it will be ok (for example: you are calling out to a 3rd party web service and they have a brief service outage, or some backhoe went over a network link and killed your packets).
Any one can enter any phone number. What does leaking a phone number without any ties except an IP mean?
Yep. Netscape crashed at least every 30 minutes.
I would prefer Yahoo Answers to have fuzzy timestamps. On a site where the information is somewhat reliable it would be really annoying, but on Yahoo Answers when you see "decade" you know its not even worth opening the lid to smell it. Just chuck it.
The definition DDG shows is also "characterized by rapid motion; swift".
The push for diversity is not that sinister, they just want the widest customer base they can get. Neoliberal diversity and identity politics lets them be moral without threatening their power base.

What we've seen from Amazon's anti-union efforts this round is that they are not sophisticated enough to be pulling some kind of machiavellian plot.

If unions are going to work in America, they have be able to navigate a diverse group of people. The American working class is incredibly diverse, more than the country itself. It's a challenge but it's not insurmountable. But the left/union approach to diversity and the corporate approach are completely different from each other and have different material motivations.

A friend I knew pledged an MIT frat in the 80's. The upperclassmen realized that you could get goat heads for like 50 cents a pound at one of the local stores. For one of their hazing pranks, they gave each pledge a goat head and instructions to hide the goat head on campus, which whichever head was hidden the "best" would get a prize.

The resulting kerfuffle and news articles on the incident (including allegations of satanism on the MIT campus) is definitely something that frat will be proud of forever.
Nah, too mild for True Detective - maybe severed babies' heads, or dead babies wearing severed goats' heads.

This would be more of an x-file, IMO. And wherever you could place DeVito would be entertaining.
An iPhone doesn't replace a Blackberry if you really need a Blackberry. You also can't run a car (minus the entertainment system) off of iOS like you can QNX.
So far, the conversation today is tracking the conversation the last time this was posted pretty closely: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2502663
I'm personally torn about 192K. Some folks that know a ton more about the recording process than I swear by it. On occasion I will source things at 96/24 if the track count is going to be low. Generally I just stick with 44.1/24. The higher sample rates also use a lot more space and processing power.
My family took a ton of pictures on Kodak film when I was a kid so I certainly fall into the demographic of people who have fond memories of the brand. However, I would hesitate to buy a Kodak product now because I would assume that it was just a piece of junk with Kodak branding. Until just now I didn't even realize Kodak still did anything besides license patents.
I personally have to write down things and try to convince everone else to do that but I have to deal with people who more or less actively seems to be avoiding leaving anything written behind.
Redesigning this poster should become a standard for comparing designers.
I just always use my phone for zoom instead of my MacBook. About the only feature I like of MS Teams, is the ability to switch devices easily. It only works for scheduled meetings, not calls though.
Okay that's a fair approach, though it's still not recommended for everyone especially those who isn't much familiar with those packages setup.
I think this is undisputed evidence that this FSD aka ‘Fools Self Driving’ contraption is beyond defending as it clearly has put the lives of drivers and cyclists at risk. As I have said multiple times.

Tesla had a good run with this contraption, but it is time to scrutinize this fraudulent system that does not work as advertised and malfunctions on the public roads to run over or crash into cars and cyclists.

This is not even at night that FSD has malfunctioned, let alone night vision support. The car doesn’t even monitor the drivers attention properly (It still uses the wheel). How can FSD be possibly safe to use when not only the system has failed in daylight but it also cannot see at night?

Perhaps it is better to not pay and sign up as a crash test dummy with safety-critical software that doesn’t even work.

No thanks and absolutely no deal.
So for others wanting to go down the psychedelic road I recommend reading a lot of psychonautwiki.org and picking a lighter experience and working your way up, for sourcing the psychedelics it's quite painful and requires reading up on reviews for sketchy sites that accept payments by non-refundable means and have sometimes not filled orders for customers.

Just annoyingly inconsistent when calling PowerShell commandlet vs local exes.
Finder used to be much more intuitive yet Apple seem to do something on every macOS release that somehow makes it worse.
I totally agree, and this is one reason why, broadly speaking, command line applications often turn me off, even though in theory I prefer them for the reasons you laid out. There's a sort of implication that you're not "in the club" if you don't remember this or that flag.

Why then isn't a kind of very simple approximation of a GUI (or, at least, easily-discoverable commands) more common in command line applications? I see no technical reason for the lack of it. Look at something like htop -- it has a sort of "command line version of a macOS menu bar" with each menu selected by a function key. I could easily seeing this idea being extended to, say, being called by the familiar --help flag, or each menu visualizing a sub-menu upon pressing a function key, etc...there's no reason CLIs can't have the same discoverability as GUIs.
I think the somewhat better ones use blanks that are in theory only sold to locksmiths (not to your typical hardware store/kiosk), but that's unlikely to matter all that much. These days you can get keys made from a photo or two, or you can just spend some time watching Deviant Ollam's videos and likely have several other options for opening doors.

Popping the pins is probably not a great approach for daily use though.
Well right now the technology is unidirectional.
Same with me. 41 and never had a problem sitting until about a month ago. Left leg goes numb and/or hurts. I do pretty intense strength training at lunch 4 days a week, but it's not enough. I now have to get up and walk more during the day or even alternate between standing at my desk and kneeling.

Not only infantile, but rude as well. I predict great success for your open source endeavor, not.
Reminds me of a friend of mine doing the same thing for a short project. He did not want to do it, but he did want a new airplane so he quoted a ridiculous price; which they accepted. He once referred to the project as building the airplane which I suspect completely changed his perspective on the whole thing.

Explanationless science always gets into difficulties.

That said, I suspect that watching TV all day everyday would kill a person, eventually, because thinking without a break depletes the CNS of resources which would otherwise be used to regulate the body.

(Note: TV watching is a kind of externally driven thinking. More draining than thinking about the show would be the guilt thoughts caused by watching TV all day given that our culture believes (a) that watching too much TV is bad, and (b) that productive work is good.)

However, it's misleading to claim that sitting around all day is unhealthy. For instance, you won't get a heart attack if you are a Buddhist Monk sitting in meditation.

Also, moving around all day would kill people, eventually, by similar means and for similar reasons to TV watching. For example:

I had idea that antimatter might repel normal matter many years ago but I thought it was already conclusively experimentally tested because such test should be easy enough. Just cool down some antiprotons with lasers and see if they fall towards earth or in the opposite direcion.

Haven't anyone done this so far?
I believe that the first thing is getting America as a nation to consider the issue to be incredibly urgent.

That's a rather hard sell, because frankly, it ain't. America still leads the world in damn near every field. For a nation of a mere 300 million people or so, the number of new inventions, scientific discoveries, and bleeding-edge technology companies being generated by the US is way out of whack with the rest of the world. There's no point in trying to sell your solutions with some kind of false urgency, people will see through it.

I mean not to be a conspiracy theorist, but I am pretty convinced they and other gov orgs (US, UK) are probably doing it already if I had to guess.

This makes the stuff they find legally useable for evidence I guess.
The reason we don't publish a full moderation log is that it would likely spawn more meta-discussion and litigation about how HN is moderated. We don't have the resources for that (or the stomach).

Most users don't care that much—I know that because if they did, we'd never hear the end of it—and those who do tend to be the litigious type who raise two new objections for every answer you give them. To play that game is to agree to a DoS attack on yourself. It sucks up limited resources that should be going into making the site better for everyone: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&qu....

That said, we're 100% in favor of satisfying users' curiosity about how HN is operated and moderated. We just do it ad hoc, by answering specific questions, rather than building meta facilities. From my perspective the issue isn't secrecy, it's efficiency. If meta facilities would actually be more efficient, that would be a great reason to build them. I would love it if software could alleviate more of our load. Unfortunately, I fear that they would have the opposite effect. The founder of a well-known forum that is older than HN once told me that introducing a meta section was the worst decision they had made and that we would be crazy to do that.
".org" is almost the standard for all community projects, there will be huge impact if the management went wrong.
I've been thinking a lot about the sheer downsides of DNS overall. We need something different. Something decentralized, encrypted, something not reliant on a protocol that hasn't kept pace with security and privacy and we need something verifiable that provides accountability. As others have said TLDs have become a racket. Only the priveleged and nation states have the authority to use the system as a funnel of ridiculous revenue and rate manipulation. We don't need DNS anymore. It's become more of a lynchpin to bottleneck and advance control of the few and continues to erode our privacy as it stands today. What's next?
Serious question, did you even read the page? Specifically, the part where it makes specific complaints about the 2019 .org registry agreement, such as the ability to raise registration fees without ICANN approval?
We can expect every .org owner, most of them non-profits and many not well-funded, to be squeezed and then shaken down for money. Not tomorrow, but it will start as soon as they think they can get away with it.
So my running conclusion is that Rust's founding decisions were made with a sort of "go big or go home" logic given this premise. To conclude that breaking even one part of C/C++ is grounds to throw up one's hands and drain the baby with the bathwater makes sense through this prism. At that point one might as well pour through the literature and academic languages to pick out all the goodies and gimmicks that haven't been mainstreamed before too.

The problem here is that Rust is not graceful replacement for C/C++. I'm being sold on Rust from a systems perspective and the system is already written in C. It's a simple and incomplete language begging for extension but it's done a good job of abstractly representing commodity computing hardware to a programmer for 50 years. Rust doesn't even make an attempt to gracefully regrade C/C++ into Safe-C++ and I can't come to any other conclusion that this is for nothing more than a lack of creativity.

There is an ignorance to the real costs of reinventing the wheel when one doesn't replace the original wheel too. That's why I am starting to truly convince myself Rust is actually harmful. If Rust gracefully took C in another direction (like C++ did), I could add Rust compilation units to my projects and share C interfaces which basically give me access to the entire existing universe so long as I use something like `extern "Rust" {` or visa-versa. If Rust broke ~10% of C++ I could put forth ~10% effort to port my projects to it and integrate it entirely. At a certain point down that vector, Rust can be the messianic "C++ done right" without looking back.
Governments tend to indulge in hypocrisy as standard operating practice. They also reserve the right to kill people and confiscate property because, as much as the average person might find comfort in order, legislation and institutions, the reality of the world is you can do whatever you want unless someone can stop you, and there are not a lot of people or organisations that can stop a government.
For anyone actually building a product for others, please use clap, it's excellent.
