I dunno. I loved the original concept behind AMA, which was that if you look hard enough at anyone's life, you can find interesting parts that are worth listening to. The first half of IAmA's title is "Where the mundane becomes fascinating..."

I dislike what IAmA is quickly becoming, which is a place where people request only celebrities, pile on where they show up, and try to milk them dry of information. A bunch of recent threads have actively complained about IAmAs from "normal" people, which I thought was the point of the subreddit.

It sounds, from the way you've worded your request, that you're looking for the second kind of post. I wouldn't want to see this, because I think it teaches precisely the wrong skillset for entrepreneurs. Sucking up to experts and milking them for information is how you succeed in the corporate world, where advancement is predicated on what the people above you think. To succeed as an entrepreneur, however, you need to intimately understand the problems faced by normal people. That's your market: the millions of normal people out there. And if you ignore what's interesting about their lives in favor of what's interesting about the leaders of your field, you'll suck at capturing that market.
I'm afraid I've never used it with direct Activesync; my Exchange connection has always been EWS/OWA-based (whatever they call the web endpoint now in O365 hosted Exchange).
Yeh it is why I put Vue as a great web application framework for developers not specialised in frontend solutions. They've been fragmenting their community there by becoming an SPA framework to compete with React. Vite is a good tool but we have many others that are simple to use. This one is just has 1st class support for Vue because it comes from the core contributors. The general ecosystem for vue though is a third party package which integrates something like vue and apollo together. Which is not supported by the vendor and falls behind major releases or makes drastic changes to fit new major releases of the Vue framework. You will find a lot of vendors not supporting Vue directly and those unmaintained projects are leaving you behind in feature set or using new anti-patterns and creating tech debt.
But that's not the way real contracts work. Contracts are an agreement between parties. If there is later a disagreement about what was agreed to, a judge sorts it out.
In the Seattle area, Fred Myer is the only place I can’t use NFC payments, for the last 3 or 4 years. Target has them, though sometimes their COVID plastic on the terminals interferes with it.

It’s annoying I have to carry a credit card, driver license (WA doesn’t support digital licenses yet), and an Orca card (also, annoyingly not phone compatible yet) in the wallet MagSafe attachment for my phone.
I want to believe this so bad. I'm just ... leery of one-man research being published on a blog.
I dont think its very diffrent; the goal here is for girls to check in and then you can find them via search and video chat / txt or call them. Thats the same value prop that CL Erotic section had. If you are saying you dont like how I am going about that then that is possibly a valid good point. Are you saying bad product or product / market fit? This is my first node project and it kind of took a few twist and turns but whatever... I might just make it something else if that does not work out.
Brilliant. Similar to another comment when I first got my Prius I played with along with the metrics and still do occasionally. But, I felt like I unlocked all the rewards.

Separate player tags would be awesome and could be accomplished with fobs or sign-ins. Or perhaps you just register your high scores?

For more in-depth configuration you could include wifi access and a browser portal to set up drivers or post to your facebook wall. OK, ok it could go downhill quickly. :)

Imagine getting into your car and having it decked out as a fully operational 80's arcade console. Wood paneling, quarter slots and a big red 'Start' button.
Is the user, in this case, a thief? If so, and it's a switch you enable, it seems pretty benign to me.

(But, before discussing this more: it's not spyware -- or anything -- if it only exists in a patent application.)
Has anyone merged Haskell and Scheme, such that I can write strongly typed Haskell code with the (lack of) Scheme syntax, and its macros?

(I hope that Template Haskell would make this possible.)
Say the dead comment I can't reply to:

> Thats probably because you hate black people more than you respect Democracy.

this is extra funny to me because it is also mathematically bogus. I'm saying I very much don't want the cops harassing BLM protests, even if it the price is letting these protests vandalize the Capitol building.

Maybe poster meant "That's probably because you like black people more than you respect Democracy". To which I answer, "...you call the Senate Democracy?"
Someday there could be gloves that allow you to feel these "holograms" using cables that prevent your fingers from moving up/down, etc.

I also think this could be a short-term way to introduce full-body physical constraints in full-on virtual reality. (In the more distant future, we will probably know how to stimulate the brain directly to produce these sensations.) I envision a full-body suit (fitted to the user with near perfection) with a bunch of cables going in every direction. So if you try to push a virtual wall, the proper cables will be set to resist. Doesn't seem very practical, but the glove version might be.
I find it odd how vocal and numerous the ad blocker users are on HN. You "have to" install it because the ad are so annoying? How have you coped with TV advertising, or magazine advertising?
What's the difference between build tool, like gulp and deployment tool like Shipit?
The cutoff benefits the youngest students academically. They get used to working harder to catch up, and never stop working harder, apparently.

> If I search Google for something, and the result comes up as both an ad and a non-ad, I click on the non-ad link

Slightly off-topic, but I do something a little different as my own "screw you" to stupid advertisers.

If I see an advert in my search results that I'll find useful, I don't mind clicking it. For example if I search "London cinema" and a certain cinema has paid to be up there that I'm actually interested in, why not click it. If they were already in the organic results above the fold, I'll click organic to save them their ad budget.

However if I see an advert that's targeting their own brand name that I just searched (for example if I searched "Y Combinator" and saw YC had both top organic spot and a paid ad above) then I'll specifically click on the paid spot to cost them money. Just because you'd be amazed how many people in how many ad agencies make themselves look good to clients by using their own brands to push up results. Yes, if you have a paid advert for when people are already looking specifically for you of course you'll bump up your overall performance for search budgets.

(There is an argument - which may be correct at times - for needing to bid on your own brand / product names so as to outbid competitors aiming for them, but I've never yet been shown any data to actually justify the cost.)
An extension doesn't stop interest and penalties from accruing. Any tax not paid by March 15 would be subject to that. That is why you still send an estimated payment that should cover your expected taxes.

Filing your corporate structure sends the paperwork to the state with your charter, the election form, EIN number, etc. This is not the same as filing your taxes. The 1120S return is separate from your personal returns, he's made a copy for you and your partner, the form is more difficult than a personal form, so, two copies + more work = $400. The $200 for your personal tax return seems about right depending where you earn most of your income and depending on the quality of your recordkeeping.

As for your current situation, if you are unhappy now, it is unlikely you'll ever be happy with him again. Find a new accountant.

If you paid $200 for personal tax + $400 for the corporations tax + $250 for the filing, I don't think those fees are too far out of line.

As for your recourse, talk to him, tell him you didn't understand the fee structure, you're faced with a penalty from the IRS, can he help? Or, get your new accountant to do it.

Honestly though, I think you will spend more than $712 trying to fight the IRS.
It's close enough, I figured out from the context that I (Invention? Latin inventus -> Spanish invención or English invention) was our R and that subvention had to be something about transferring money.

And some of the problems you and Vargas relate are hardly unknown in the entrepreneurial backwaters of the US although it's only in some particularly obnoxious very political cities where the local governments can really get in your way. Which of course lends itself to obvious solutions given how mobile our society is.

Anyway, good luck improving things over there!

Interesting how the "potential" got lost between lost sale and lost revenue...
I have a friend of mine who moved away, so I now mostly keep in touch via his blog. I've known him since 1995, and he's been HIV positive since I've known him.

That said, within the past few years he was admitted to a similar clinical trial that has all but eradicated the presence of HIV in his system. For at least the past 6 months (it's under very close watch) there has been absolutely no detectable traces of HIV in his blood.

This is far outside my general sphere of knowledge, so I'm apt to speak unintelligently on the subject if I go into deeper detail, but it goes without saying that we're ecstatic for him, his family, and everybody else in the world plagued with the virus.

My biggest concern is the cost of the treatment. He's in trial, so it costs him effectively nothing, but as the treatment is perfected and rolled out to the masses, I have very little doubt that this will be affordable to only those with the very best insurance or those with very fat pockets.

I'll reserve judgement on the morality of that, as I do believe the presence of an expensive cure is infinitely better than the absence of a cure, but I'm just hopeful that they can manage a way to ensure that it does in fact work as they believe, and refine the process to such a degree that it becomes affordable.
Those who can't afford a high dpi LCD screen?
I think you take it too far. Yes, the powerful abusing the weak is not a healthy thing. But there is actually 'bad' in the world that should be suppressed. Unfortunately, there are people (you?) that are willing to say "we can't all agree on what is bad, therefore nothing is bad". That would work, except for the fact that we're human, frail and don't know nearly as much as we think we do.

Since the original article is sex, and you refered to it above, let's continue with it. Try going to an SA (sex addicts) meeting sometime and hear about shattered lives because of what someone did to someone else. I'm going to put my foot down and say rape is bad because of the horrible emotional baggage it leaves in someone's life. Incest is usually in the same category (I personally know a guy who will never have normal relationships because of what his older sister and friend did with him when he was 12).

I'm sure someone (you?) will try to argue there are cases where it's OK, so we shouldn't call rape 'bad'. PLEASE! Sometimes, there ARE things that should be suppressed.

And this doesn't mean anything or everything should be suppressed. If people are suppressing/hiding something because they did wrong (the government) then it should be exposed.

Except, whoops, we just said the government did 'wrong'. That's a value judgement! <sarcasm>Maybe some people think starting fake wars is OK and we shouldn't be so quick to call that unsavory</sarcasm> Value judgements have to be made as long as we're human. Value judgements mean there is 'good' and 'bad'. I don't think we want more 'bad' -- it's bad by definition! If we ever get to the point that we're computers and can hit a reset button, then _maybe_ right and wrong will go away...

So wikileaks and exposing corruption -- good, bring it on, don't suppress it. Encouraging rape or incest, I'm calling bad -- we don't need more of that in society.

(OK, bring on the down votes)
Ok.. thanks.

Perhaps changing it to "Microsoft Office Online free no longer hidden" would have been more appropriate.

Linking to just "Microsoft Office Online" gives no sense of the purpose of the post.

Not that it matters at this point. Just seems rather pedantic to change the title in such a way.
A better example would be choosing which newspapers to read based on your friend's recommendations, versus choosing by yourself. All articles from the same newspaper share a source and it already ensures some quality.
Sorting works well enough for me too. I would even add a bit (10% or so) of randomness to the sorting, to give the less popular comments a bit of time in the spotlight.
I actually bookmarked it under "Hack The Gibson"
does anyone want to make this into a screen saver? Would be pretty cool.
Wouldn't it leak out if Zuck was still raising rounds to take money off the table?

While I agree that it's still in the hype phase, I could easily see FB hitting a market cap on the seconday market of $100B pre-IPO.

And with regards to raising way more than Google, FB is doing much more at this point in its lifecycle than Google was. FB is launching many more products that are more capital intensive than Google was back in the early 2000s.
Sorry sometimes sarcasm on the internet is hard to grasp. I may also be a bit socially under-developed. ;)

Do not bill daily. Bill per project.
Maybe SR/LR is the right choice for home. In the DC/rack some sort of DAC is the way to go. DAC will save you like 5 watts per port over optics.
I have used `view` but it didn't give me syntax highlighting. On my system (archlinux) view is actually a symlink to ex (which must change its behavior based on its name?).

Different continent, but thanks for the recommendation. :)
The etymology of black is "any color you like, as long as it's black" [0]. The whole point is that it's _not_ configurable.

Amazon also has this trick where they quote your total compensation with the built in assumption that $AMZN will appreciate by 15% per year.

When I went through the process, it was pretty confusing to understand but the gist is that they try to hit a total compensation of whatever your target is. And when they quote the total compensation of your salary 3 or 4 years in, they assume that the stock has appreciated by 15% per year. So 15% of your potential gains (compounding per year) of getting RSUs and exposure to Amazon stock is removed.

I have had a hard time figuring out how to phrase this, but I think the problem is that everyone wants to be smart, and sometimes that subconsciously gets turned into "smart people are better," but what we really want other people to be is aligned with us. How capable they are is just the length of the vector, which could even point in the opposite direction making intelligence detrimental.
Do you feel like no good software has come out of Microsoft since Windows 95? That Microsoft has poor engineering practices? They're still 75% of all PCs, have a significant cloud presence, and an even greater gaming presence. Their office suite continues to be the greatest digital productivity tool since the calculator. And they have the largest grasp on developer mind share becuase of Github and VScode.
RMS himself has rejected the suggestion that he is on the spectrum, so I’m not sure why you are casually suggesting that he is.
Reno I get, especially Tahoe, but isn’t Las Vegas more of a Los Angeles rather than Bay Area market?
This article has an odd, simplified, and biased description of history. Apple pushed USB hard and early. The article carefully never made the claim Apple owned Firewire exclusively--it was a partnership with Sony and Panasonic that had certain benefits.

I'm not sure what alternative to the 30-pin connector the author would have been pleased with. Personally, I'm very glad it wasn't micro or mini USB. The Lightning port was shipping years ahead of something like USB-C. Sure, it would be nice if they switched now. I'm sure even if they used a standard port they'd still have a certification program because Apple loves control. I'm confident the licensing money is just a perk. Look at the iPad Pro. They used USB-C instead of extending Lightning.

Bluetooth headphones had been disappointing for decades. After being disappointed over and over I had settled on completely proprietary digital wireless headphones (much like wireless mice until BluetoothLE). Then Apple started making some great headphones that added a bit of "magic" around Bluetooth. I hear AirPods work great outside of Apple's ecosystem, too. They still have some of the "warts" of Bluetooth like having a battery-draining, low latency, low quality mono mode for phone/chat and a higher quality mode for music that sometimes get stuck in the wrong mode, but it's nice they're using a widely supported standard.
Beautiful story, I enjoyed every word. Thank you for this
Probably flagged because it's political content.
Assuming what you're saying is even true, do you think I (or other regular people) actually care about that explanation?

All I see is one day Google pushing for people to use Google hire and the next day shutting it down.
Even Microsoft runs SAP Finance and Microsoft has a lot of ERP/Finance knowledge in house. I guess building a system that supports the scale and specific accounting standards all over the world is a non trivial task.

I work in Enterprise Software and I have experienced multiple times that tech companies first tried to build an administrative back office system and came back to the market two years later as the underestimated the complexity.
I could imagine accessing terminals in System Shock or Deus Ex and just reading a few lines of those descriptions to show what kind of thing the owner was interested in.

The old internet truly is a window into a different world.
Yeah ok, makes sense of course. It's still a somewhat strange decision on the project's part. It's basically similar to using C++20 features only six months after the first C++ compilers support C++20. If that's a one-time thing during development of the framework it's probably fine. But if in 5 years the project still reqiures a less than 6-months old compiler version, I'd be worried ;)
Here’s my take on NYT: they’re desperately trying to stay relevant in modern era where news happens real-time on social media. They’re an institution and have an incredible reach in steering narratives still but that’s fading fast.
I thought TFA meant flashing in the metaphorical sense - it's the code paths that light up, not things on the screen.

Circular dependencies are an unfortunate fact of life, and I wish we had tools to deal with them, instead of desperately trying to avoid them.

A good test for a UI paradigm is, how do you handle a UI like this:

A = [50] [====| ]
B = [10] [| ]
C = [60] [=====| ]
A + B = C

Where [===| ] things are sliders, all three are changeable, and the relation A+B=C must always hold.
Novelty plays a part in this too.
Sounds fair to me. He agrees with a bunch of points and calls Murray's ideas sophisticated. Isn't that aligning oneself?
Because quite frankly they are not in the business of reporting things but in the business of changing the world in a way they see fit and somehow try to paint it as some sort of scientific way of seeing life while it's far away from it.
I agree author has wrong expectations when it comes to how/what people learn. I see a lot of it in such threads and by people who postulate that all schools should be shut down.

School or university material is very basic and that is true. Unfortunately too many people expect that school is going to give them tools to deal with everything in life. School is giving only basic tools upon which one can build his own. Epidemiologist got his basic math in school but to be able to measure R0 he had to put in his own time, otherwise he would not become a specialist.

School system has to provide set of tools to large quantity of people. Where mostly people who nag about school, look at it from "gifted child" perspective.
> But as organizations (Capital Police, Metro Police, FBI, etc.) this event was broadly known to be happening all over social media well in advance of Wednesday's event.

Exactly my take on this. And why I got so baffled it actually happened. I, a Brazilian living in Sweden with a passing interest in US politics (just due to its repercussions to my life and countries), was aware of the radio chatter that something like this was bubbling. How can security forces of the most powerful country on Earth's history let this roll?
Yep. Fuck zuck, finally deleted my Facebook account because of this.
Why is Trump's 'voice' or anyone else's more important than FB's 'voice'? Is free speech only for some people?

If I come to your house and rant about my favorite subject you shouldn't be able to silence me?

Should Trump (or anyone else) have the right to sully FB in defiance of its management wishes?

FB doesn't have a special responsibility, it's a for-profit business that has an obligation to it's shareholders.not society.

Everyone is replying about the videos online or after the fact. What I believe the large media outlets are referring to when they reference "inciting" is his words at protest rally he held earlier in the day at which suggested that supporters should march over to the capital. This is after weeks of previous remarks trying to delegitimize the election and suggesting someone should stop "them" from stealing the election.
Wait, seriously why is he banned though?
Past a certain size threshold the organizational and social dynamics of human relationships seems to be the predominant factor in getting anything done. i.e. There’s a limit to how big of a headwind we can cope with.

None of it's really new, or insightful (as the author himself points out), but it is a nice gathering of thoughts on the matter, useful given the recent heavy inclusion of internet in public policy issues, and it's importance to average people's usage of the internet.
