Thanks for sharing, how did it turn out for you afterward? And even if it doesn't work out for the first idea, did you find your skills useful for later prospective ideas and partnerships?
Is there any way to import bookmarks from Chrome? I see it mentioned but then it just redirects me to the delicious importer. Place-holder text?

Edit: Also it appears to be down atm.
Well, on one hand, yay. On the other hand, it's a shame that Yahoo won't devote resources to it. On the third, mutant hand, they should make room in the market for my hobby project! :D
Will they use that money so that they can let readers post comments?
I don't see how this helps in a corporate environment. If it's a laptop you can just remove the hard drive and you have access to all that juicy data. The real solution would be an encrypted hard drive, I don't see how the kill switch enhances the security at all.

Personally given the choice I would buy the computer w/o the kill switch.
Scientists call it the Big Bang Theory. And in Science, the word "theory" is supposed to basically be the equivalent of a proven phenomenon. Scientists do not admit that the Big Bang theory is broken. They really believe that everything in the universe came from nothing even though it violates everything in cause-and-effect.
Probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $10/hr, but that depends on area, exact duties of the internship, etc. But, basically, something that covers gas money and incidentals.
Funny, I was thinking of doing the same with the domain I got from mslagh, but I saw that Delicious isn't dying after all before I got a chance to start.

Anyway, good on you and good on him for the domains.
Debug.trace is the module for you, my friend.

Debug.trace a b = a

and b gets logged to the console. Or maybe it's backwards. I forget.
Not only that but the last line on their privacy policy is fun: "This privacy policy is subject to change without notice and was last updated on March 15, 2013."

I'm personally not too happy about this, but there are restrictions on the use of underscores:

- You cannot have two underscores in a row

- You cannot have a leading underscore
Simple domination doesn't seem like an adequate explanation. Is it the case that the dominant traffic pattern effectively monopolizes the roundabout making it difficult for other traffic to enter for significant periods of time?

The most useful are perhaps the one's I'm using for search [0] -- chat logs, web annotations, book highlights, reddit/hackernews saves, tweets, etc. It's literally my external memory, I'm not exaggerating.

Everything in Promnesia [1] is super useful, makes my internet lurking much ... efficient? This word has somewhat bad rap, but it is what it is -- doesn't mean I don't have fun, just makes it easier to keep track and discover new things.

Not sure about surprising data sources -- I'm trying to integrate them all as far as possible and make sure they work for me passively, so I don't have to think about specifics :)

I live in the US and have a deaf mother-in-law. This is true here too.
> However until developers become in charge of all the decisions (imagine!)

The thing is, we sort of are! As I mentioned upthread, notation and language are being strongly influenced by increased use of software in every facet of our lives. The way people note numbers, dates, express search terms, etc. are all impacted by what the software accepts and displays by default. We have an opportunity here to push for positive cultural change around international standardization, so let's make good use of it, instead of squandering it by just implementing whatever seems to resemble the local status quo the most.
Right but I thought you were arguing "Just don’t use ”infotainment” when driving" and these are still part of the infotainment systems. No need to throw out everything just because of touchscreens.
Are you referring to the pileup caused by the black ice on the overpass? At those Texan speeds, managing to stop a sixteen wheeler on ice would be a miracle.

Edit: removed part that was saying ABS is useless on ice.
Biggest regret I have with my car is that it doesn't have a massive touchscreen. It's for me to observe and my passenger to operate.
> It makes income traceable in a way that bitcoin does not, to facilitate lawful taxation.

Can you explain this a bit more? I thought all Bitcoin transactions are completely traceable.
Statistically speaking, you're more likely to buy a second object right after you bought one than someone who has not shown interest in the product. Things break, you might want to return it for a slightly different version, you might buy one for a friend.

For you, it might be wrong, but when the advertiser is buying millions of ad impressions and is looking for a 0.01% hit rate, the math shows that you're one of the more likely future customers.
> contrast the success of HTTP/2 with the failure of IPv6 to maintain backward compatibility at the API level

Unfortunately, it was not possible for IPv6 to maintain backward compatibility with IPv4 at the API level. That's because the IPv4 API was not textual; it was binary, with fixed-size 32-bit fields everywhere. What they did was the next best thing: they made the IPv6 API able to also use IPv4 addresses, so that new programs can use a single API for both IPv4 and IPv6.
This seems like X Windows protocol over HTTPS with JSON as the wire encoding.

It's sad to think how much effort is spent reimplementing technologies because the IPv4 address space wasn't large enough.

If IP address space were larger, we wouldn't have needed to rely on Network Address Translation (NAT). NAT became a poor-man's firewall and effectively blocked peer-to-peer connections making it difficult to host a server at home. This incentivized early ISPs to offer only asymmetric connections that pushed users towards a consumer-only service that crippled early Internet protocols. With the World Wide Web being "the" reason people got on to the Internet in the first place, early NAT-enabled routers focused only on HTTP tunneling, so completed protocols that required inbound connections were finally killed off.

Who would have thought that a small IP address space could result in a mass protocol extinction event from which only HTTP and HTML would survive....
You should create a new blog category, containing only posts with titles up to 280 characters and just post the tidbits you'd otherwise post to Twitter. Styled accordingly.

If worthy enough, you could even share the link to any one of them on Twitter. ;)
And so do Adblock Plus and Adblock Edge. The reason I am interested in this is because of much lower resource consumption than either of those.

I haven't tried Bluehell Firewall though. Can you comment on its performance as compared to Adblock Plus/Edge?
We moved from k8s to Nomad at my workplace, and I'm currently running almost all my self-hosted software on a 10-node Nomad cluster (with Consul and Vault) as well. The servers for each of the three gives plenty of headroom resource-wise when run on any recentish arm64 SBC, so you can get an HA cluster for not expensive.

If you integrate properly with them (which does take quite a bit of work with the ACL policies and certs), it really starts shining. With terraform, of course.

For these core services themselves and other OS packages, I use ansible, mostly because of the huge resources in the community.

It's fun and doesn't come with all the cognitive overhead of k8s. I'm a fan and will tell everyone they should consider Nomad.

It's obviously less mature, though. One thing that has been frustrating for a while is the networking configuration - a simple thing like controling which network interface a service should bind to (internal or external?) was supposedly introduced in 0.12 but completely broken until 1.0.2 (current version is 1.0.3).

Consul Connect is really awesome conceptually to make a service mesh, but is also just coming together.

There are really only two things I miss dearly now:

1) exposing consul-connect services made by Nomad (aka ingress gateway). It seems to be theoretically doable but requiring manual configuration of Connect and Envoy. If you want to expose a service from the mesh through e.g. an http load balancer, you need to either expose it raw (losing the security benefits) or manually plumb it (no load balancer seems to play nicely with connect without a lot of work, yet)

2) Recognize that UDP is a protocol people actually use in 2021. This is a critique of the whole industry.
I don’t think they still be niche if they were competitive with LCDs in other aspects, most importantly color gamut and ability to show video (I think longevity and power usage already are competitive, if not more than so).

So, why? Are they inherently more difficult or expensive to manufacture, do they use materials that are too rare?
Yes. Staying at home is key. Everybody should do that. And people in the US should probably have been doing that at least one or two weeks earlier.

Some countries are a little ahead though. I mean not just socially, but in the spreading of Corona and figuring out what works and what doesn't. Sometimes there are clear rules and guidelines in some cases the military is even enforcing national corona policies.

So when we're all used to staying home and that is working. We should not forget about the economy and start figuring out ways to kickstart it.
I find that regulating my free time with something like the pomodoro technique to be very helpful. When I'm in a pomodoro, I am in my own world of code, but when the buzzer rings I make coffee, read a book, or take a walk.

Just having the span of 5 minutes to not think about work enables me to attack the problem with renewed vigor. Ultimately I get more done, and I'm happier for it!
An LLC is a legal entity - that's the whole point. The owners (you) are only liable up to the investment made into the entity.

A few key differences: An LLC allows the owners to choose the setup for tax purposes (act like any other kind), commonly has pass through taxation and is only able to issue one type of stock, common. However, it provides all of the legal protections as that of a C Corp.

To my knowledge, investors prefer C Corps for two key reasons:
1) Preferred Stock
2) Company Structure (LLC's can setup however they wish, C-Corp is more restrictive and includes a board).

One option is having the LLC purchase stock in the C-Corp as a means of transferring assets later. Many investors have their investments setup as seperate LLCs (liability issues) and do their investing this way.
The problem is it's hard to "check-in" for a beer you're drinking. FourSquare is a bit easier because you don't really need to type anything out, it's location based. Not only that, but the more beer you drink the harder it will be to successfully "check-in"

Funny. I also always open the comment page and the article at the same time (no tree plugin though). And yet, I very often forget to upvote the article, since I'm usually eager to dive into the comments.

Interestingly, in this case, I saw the "please upvote" message, said to myself "ok let's go upvote on the comment page I have open", and still forgot to do it because I started reading comments.

This thread reminded me to do it. :)

You're oversimplifying this as well as constructing a strawman argument which implies it's a simple issue. It's not. You are on Hacker News, do you think people here are think that the framing you make is objectively the singular one that has any moral standing?
I think it is fair to expect Signal to support a solid encrypted backup/sync mechanism. They can allow users to manage the encryption keys out of band. Users can use a password manager (or a piece of paper) to save the encryption key.

Anyone who is security/privacy conscious to use Signal is also using a solid password manager and not reusing passwords as well as following good secure data backup practice, I hope.
You are making assumptions on what was in President Trump's brain from a few short tweets. The white house is on the opposite side of the mall as the congress building. How do you know he wasn't saying "we love you" to the huge turnout of people gathered around the Washington monument right near the white house? How do you know he was specifically praising the tiny minority of the protestors that broke into congress?

Useful, and built into R.
Much of what I read about this talks about, e.g., building a REST API then using that in your application rather than direct database access.

Isn't this largely "Program to an interface, not an implementation" wrapped up in webspeak?

Whenever we start a new web project, we organize our code into groups of services, and use interfaces to represent those groups rather than concrete classes. Where possible, the implementation of the interfaces are direct database calls. When we need to use it externally, we have an implementation that uses remote calls.

So ultimately we program to interfaces which are designed to be automatically exposed as an API call. In some ways the recommendation to rely on your own REST API to build out your application feels like a way to make up for the lack of structure interfaces can enforce. Maybe I'm wrong though.
I'm fairly certain they had to pack up an entire streets worth of snow to take those pictures. Seattle hasn't gotten shit for snow this year, unless I somehow slept through it.
Ah, didn't see this post. Glad you finally got it working! Do you think it would have been more clear to suggest that users upload the album, save it, and then proceed to tag themselves?
There are over a million software engineers and computer programmers in the U.S. Say, 15% were convinced to give $30 a month (or their employers). That would be over 50 million a year for operations. That is not including other donations that would be solicited, or fees payed by other interested parties such as hardware manufacturers, venture capitalists and the like.

Now will $50 mil. be the death knell for the pro software patent lobby? No, there are big companies with very deep pockets that would fund the other side well, but it is a fine start.

Of course, my hope would be that the $50 mil. would mostly go to crushing trolls in court, sucking up tasty patents, building and maintaining a solid resource of precedent and prior art in this area and setting good precedent and leave the bulk of the lobbying to donations above and beyond the collected fees.

Ironically some have moved to China (.hk) for their internet freedom.
Some companies raise money even if they don't really need it. Case in point, Evernote has over $10m/year in revenue and a lot of their venture capital still in the bank, yet they decided to go for a big round of $20mil for a total of almost $30mil. They want to expand. The same is true for Twitter.

Whether the model works out for them or not is yet to be seen, but I don't think the majority of the people care enough about the bugs and uptime problems to the extent they will leave the platform or come back less.
1. It may take many years before significant number of people are out there.

2. What kind of equipment or services would these "shovels" be? Is there any kind of equipment used in space that could be produced by a bootstrapped company that doesn't have billions of dollars in funding? Why would a new company in this business succeed when competing against established companies that already have experience producing such equipment?
This is what happened in Ireland when new taxes on sugary drinks came in. Drinks that came in 2L bottles now came in 1.75L bottles at the same price. The diet versions with no sugar remained in 2L bottles. Companies like Coke are now only making variants like vanilla or cherry flavours using their diet or zero sugar products
Or... if most knowledge work happens on a computer, and you just want the AI to replace knowledge workers, then maybe how people use computers is the only thing the AI needs to know.
A fourth possibility: wage distribution flattens.

Few policies split economists as equally as the minimum wage, and I'm not necessarily advocating for it, but it's a little bit telling that you don't even consider that business might successfully adjust their compensation structures.
Roads are the archetype of a natural monopoly. The private model that works best for that ends up looking a lot like what the government does -- the local citizens form an organization to build and maintain local roads and you pay an annual fee to get a membership plate for your car that allows you to use the roads as much as you want. (Flat rate is much more efficient because it doesn't discourage use of a resource dominated by fixed costs and doesn't require expensive and privacy-invasive usage metering infrastructure.)

The fact that it's a natural monopoly makes it susceptible to a lot of the same problems as a government, but making it an independent entity actually mitigates them somewhat by reducing the size of the bureaucracy. One of the big problems with elected governments is that the Republican wants to install a corrupt transportation board and the Democrat wants to install a corrupt school board and you have to pick your poison. If you get to elect the directors responsible for local transportation separately from the directors responsible for local schools, that doesn't happen as much.

It also helps quite a lot to move as much of the spending as possible to as local a level as possible, because then you don't get wasteful pork motivated by a desire for inter-region wealth transfers.

Sorry, I couldn't come up with a better exemple on the spot.

The idea isn't to void all recipe that have fancy names. It's to be on the look for those recipes that have very simple names and are located in areas of the menu that aren't optimal. Those hidden gems will often get you all the quality and taste for a lower price and/or bigger quantity.

If there the whole menu is written using imaginative titles and there's a "beef stew" hidden in a corner, you can well be certain that it's a "boeuf bourguinon". There are many reason why it is hidden so. In the end, the main reason is that the meal in question isn't as profitable for the restaurant. It's up to you to decide if it is profitable for you.
