> It's #4 / #5 by market cap

Yeah, that doesn't mean anything. Half the coins in the top 30 are shit or outright scams.

Shit: ADA, XRP, LTC, BCH, XLM, DOGE, EOS, NEO, NEM, TRX

Outright scams: BSV, IOTA, THETA, VET

> It's about to take over ethereum's market share once smart contracts are released later this or next month.

> It's built from scratch with some strong academics in the CS field working on R&D.

LOL

Not saying you can't make money trading shitcoins and scams, but if you are actually investing in ADA (which I'm guessing you are since you genuinely seem to believe in it) just retire from crypto.
This is really interesting, I would love to hear more about how you are going about doing this.
Dropbox is not dropping Python: "Dropbox will continue to develop majority of its features in Python. We have only migrated performance critical components to Go."
That's an interesting technical challenge, at least to me. Could you talk a bit about it?

edit: Could you also talk about SEO and how you market your site?
I can't believe nobody so far has mentioned the obvious answer: spiped[0].

pbnjay, great questions.

1) We will deliver in 24 hours and if we don't you can get your money back. We have plenty designers ready to take care of whatever needs to be done. Of course, we work under the premise that we do "Small tasks".

2) The client owns the Intelectual Property, forever. We just do the job, so we will provide a copyright assignment whenever needed.

3) We are officially located in Hong Kong but our designers are all over the world.

4) Good catch! the flyer was made in an other language and we translated it to english, our designers will be working on it, right away.

5) That's an interesting spin-off, but definitely not the nature of the service.
I think this post has just proven that
any voting ring detector without NSA-level background detail on each voting individual is broken by design.
I'm sure it will be, but if it's not open-source (and hence cross-platform) they might as well not bother. I'm not downloading a 4GB VM from modern.ie to try it.
For argument's sake, if remote work isn't the solution, how about taking the middle ground? I don't see a lot of companies setting up offices in other parts of the world until much later on the growth curve. Is there a fundamental reason for this? Is it simply cost? Seems to me that SV companies can do great things by even opening up 2-3 person shops elsewhere in the world. You then have the compromise situation of having a few people collocated, which should cut down the need to continuous remote meetings, and at the same time provide simultaneous access to new growth markets. In effect, you have remote offices as opposed to remote employees, which seems like a much more efficient organization of resources.
I can see numerous ways. Selling a piece of (previously developed) software in Bitcoin is an easy one. The software will depreciate over time, but we're not talking about something that has to last forever, I don't think.

Automated trading is another. Selling advertising is another.
Seems like setting yourself up to have an 'everyone is remote' culture at that point in time would make the most sense.
> A lot of startups have ambitious goals and very hard technical challenges and you can't compete with a team made up of 99% remote workers

Sorry, this just isn't true, the IT team in my old place was 100% remote (there were sales and marketing in local office), and we had very big growth and success solving quite a few technical problems scaling the business for millions of users. It's more of recruiting people with right skills and right mindset. After scrums/whatever we spend 90% of our time solving the problems - being on site doesn't really help unless you do do some specific R&D that requires constant team consultation - which 99.99% of startups here DON'T do.
The article assumes its conclusion:

> amazing technology that allows us to collaborate as effectively online as previous generations of company did offline

That's a huge claim, and it's disputable. For example, I've worked both ways a lot and find remote work to be dramatically less effective.

If you accept the claim, then sure, the startups PG was writing about are missing the obvious, and for the most ironic of reasons—technical backwardness. That's possible. But there's also a lot of wishful thinking and saying-makes-it-so on this subject, which comes up on HN all the time. A lot of people just really, really want this to be true. That alone doesn't make it true, and I think it's at least as possible that desire is distorting the analysis. (Which, as someone whose whole career has been plagued by an unsolvable constraint problem of family, work, and geography, I can easily understand.)

Fortunately, we're going to find out. If all those startups are doing it wrong, then there's a gigantic market inefficiency and we'll soon see a new wave of smarter, less backward companies doing much better.
Or maybe even transporting some of those opportunities to areas closer to you. Starting new VC-backed companies in Detroit, Denver, Boston, Durham, Austin, Memphis, Nashville, Louisville or other regions would give you access to some great talent that simply prefers to live in other areas of the country.

For an industry that often derides 'monoculture', the SF tech scene sure resembles one.
It is really not Apple or any private company's responsibility to make all information accessible. They can use an Android phone, they can use a website, they can create their own Android based platform.

I am an advocate for Apple allowing side loading, but that is a different argument than requiring the App Store to host specific software.
It sounds like he tweeted new things today that they considered breaching their earlier warning? Does anyone know what those tweets were?

Edit: Oh, damn, I had just seen the Twitter Safety and just assumed that this was linking to that, not to a separate blogpost. As many people have pointed out it was for these two tweets:

On January 8, 2021, President Donald J. Trump tweeted:

“The 75,000,000 great American Patriots who voted for me, AMERICA FIRST, and MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, will have a GIANT VOICE long into the future. They will not be disrespected or treated unfairly in any way, shape or form!!!”

Shortly thereafter, the President tweeted:

“To all of those who have asked, I will not be going to the Inauguration on January 20th.”
The only chance in hell this country has of surviving is if Republicans widely condemn Trump's behavior and make an example of other agitators like Rudy Giuliani and Alex Jones who whipped these people into a frenzy.

If there are no consequences, they'll only get the message that they can do whatever they want and things will only get worse.
And being against draconian censorship doesn't mean being against all forms of content moderation.
They let him concede, waited a day, and then nuked him. It's too little too late, but I'll take it.
Karl Popper tells us about the paradox there...
Here's a direct quote from someone I'm close to:

"I don't agree at all with those people storming the capital. This does not represent who we are, but what do you expect when the media claims not a single voter fraud case was won in court when in fact almost all of them never went to trial? They are lying."

Nearly half the nation voted for Trump. I don't believe half the nation is full of hatred and disinformation. No more so do I feel people burning businesses and shooting cops represent the BLM movement.

These people protesting. BLM, Occupy Wallstreet, Tea Party, Voter Fraud. At a certain level, they are all protesting the same thing. They are protesting the system. Cops, Bankers, Regulators, Politicians. The wealth gap is widening and people are getting frustrated. Unfortunately people are easily misled and are resorting to group think instead of recognizing the real problem.

I'm not a republican, but does anyone not feel just a little uncomfortable that the less worse option this year was a career politician with his own sorted history and snake oil salesman smile? Come on man.
This is just a feeling,

Do you know how to read email headers? Are you subscribed to mailing lists? If yes, go to your inbox and check a few messages for the sender. You would be surprised at how many senders are there.

For transactional emails / regular mailing lists, I estimate that you just need like 0.25 FTE working on email, maybe even less. While this is not something everyone can do, there are tens of thousands email senders out there.

Finally, the successor to Apple Wave!
As a macOS developer I feel like there are a lot of parallels between Unity and Apple, and the way they manage their platforms. Opening things up has a lot of benefits, but I think it's probably hard for management to accept the risk when historically things have been working out just fine.

Hopefully the success of Unreal changes some minds.
For anyone else who was initially confused like I was:
On first look, I thought the solution had to involve exploiting commands over telnet to inject a mult command.
It took me until looking at part 2 to realize it involved actually modifying the source code (which makes sense in retrospect).
If you are looking to actually try and solve it, keep that in mind and don't look at part 2 :)
I still can't tell if either of them are answering for existing, or new, startups.
I miss questions like this. Things that are closer to actually measuring "so, can you code?" and not if you can do CS puzzles, or how well you can shoehorn corporate "values" into answers.

I "passed the shit out of this question" and have failed my last several interviews... :( I miss 2010.
I think the test is whether you can grep an unfamiliar code base to find the implementation of existing functionality, understand it, and modify it to add very similar functionality.

Like do the commands have to be registered somewhere? Is it a string mapping the operation name to a function pointer? A cascading if-then statement? Etc. etc.

It's just a test of diving in and understanding existing code in a relatively short amount of time.
It's successful because success only requires you accomplish what you set out to do. If you steal money from a bank and get away with it, you were successful.
First, PPP has its own issues [1] and is probably not the best way to compare the price of data.

Second, even after taking PPP into account data is still much cheaper in India - 30 USD per month for the thread parent after PPP conversion.

Math below:

PPP in [2] is National currency units/US dollar, i.e. INR/USD. It says that ~21.3 INR is going to buy you the same basket of goods in India that 1 USD buys you in USA.

9 USD = 9 * 70.394 = ~633.5 INR [3]

633.5 INR = 633.5 / 21.3 = ~30 USD PPP.

A positive development, overall. Based on my conversations, I think a lot of tech people are closeted neoreactionaries, but maybe the climate has developed that we can come out?

Yeah, there is no doubt the LDS blogosphere linking back to the site gives it a mighty boost in pagerank.
Twitter is a different situation. Their previous biz was regular blogging. They thought higher-engagement audio blogging was the next step. They tried it and discovered it was not. Why? Because it took too much energy to create content.

So they went in the opposite direction, again from the starting point of regular blogging, toward micro blogging (less energy, lower fidelity, whereas audio blogs are higher energy, higher fidelity).

Since it was based on fundamentally different (in fact, opposite) assumptions than the business they had raised money for, they offered all investors their money back and created a new legal entity to keep the paperwork clean.

That is not the same as being distracted by a flashy idea, where you have neither good evidence that your current idea is bad nor concrete evidence that the upcoming idea is an improvement.

The article is also talking about jumping to ideas unrelated to your current focus, which aren't able to leverage what you've already learned and built. Twitter was invented entirely in response to what they learned from their experiment with audio blogging.
Well since Asio is generic there is no coupling between the interface and implementation. However, from a user perspective, they will most likely use both(even its just for sync reading), since Asio provides other utilities such as buffered reading and reading until a certain character is found.
It doesn't matter how much you can do with RST if the syntax is horrible.

I can reassure you it's not too late. If you wish to get involved in the decentralised web as a coder, could always participate in the technologies surrounding the Darknet Plan... http://www.reddit.com/r/darknetplan/

Personally I believe the Darknet Plan is doomed to fail on a large scale unless they tackle the downsides of decentralisation, but that's just my personal opinion. There's plenty of work to do, I'm sure you could find some tasks that interested you.

With email, you're right that POP/IMAP on a dedicated box is preferable from a security standpoint. Food for thought, thank you.
it takes time and experience to overcome that naiveté, especially when you're young. I have a friend in a similar situation who is now coming to terms with the fact that jobs are jobs and don't have to be your whole life.
People used to hate on Gradle a lot, but it was way better than dealing with YAML IMO. Add in the ability to write build scripts in Kotlin and it was looking pretty good before I started doing less Java.

I think a CI system using JSON configured via TypeScript would be neat to see. Basically the same thing as Gradle via Kotlin, but for a modern container (ie: Docker) based CI system.

I can still go back to Gradle builds I wrote 7-8 years ago, check them out, run them, understand them, etc.. That's a good build system IMO. The only thing it could have done better was pull down an appropriate JDK, but I think that was more down to licensing / legal issues than technical and I bet they could do it today since the Intellij IDEs do that now.
I think you’re confused as to what upvoting and downvoting are for. The voting system is design to lift up comments that provide value to the discussion, and hide comments that don’t. Someone being downvoted doesn’t mean everyone is disagreeing with them, or punishing them for their opinion, rather just recognizing that it doesn’t bring any value to the topic of conversation.
I don't follow your implication in the context of the parent post.
Ehhh, systems outside frontend are just as complex. Think of a backend service--you've probably got a low-level TCP/HTTP handler written in a fast systems language like C/C++, then your business logic written in a higher level language like Go/JS/Ruby/etc., and that's interacting with your data layer using a completely different logic-based SQL language (and extra complexity to translate that SQL to your high-level language with an ORM layer), and on top of that you probably have a rules engine for authorization because you realized the systems language was too slow to update and deal with fast-changing business requirements.

This is really not that different from the frontend world where you've got a markup language to define semantics of the view, a logic layer in JS to pull in data with web requests to populate the view, and CSS as a style layer to make the view look good.
You bring forth one expert to support your claim. I am merely pointing out that there are other experts with differing opinions.
The freedom of the press does not include freedom to use another’s press.

Well, maybe that could be used with it: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4001054046112.html (basically a flex cable to allow plugging the sd card outside.

It's easier to find the opposite: an external connector for the SIM card, and you leave the SD card in: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003822185179.html

These are often used on phones to use both two SIM card and one SD card on phones that have combo trays... Speak about usability :/

Me too. This feels like "oooh, shiny!" from high levels, not engineering needs. You shouldn't outsource your core competency, and this feels like what they are doing.

I say "feel" advisedly. I don't have inner knowledge. It's just that the explanation up to this point doesn't seem all that compelling; for what seems like rather dubious benefits it seems like they've taken on an awful lot of risks they have little ability to manage themselves.

"In the US, Despite our country having vast and endless supplies of food from megafarms and their accompanying subsidies, there is very little safety net in America to ensure anyone is fed at all once they are unemployed."

This is where a legitimate government worth the trust of the people would say, "Do not worry America, we will feed you," and do whatever it took, including mobilizing the National Guard, to distribute that food surplus to those who need it most.

This is where a competent government would do this in the safest possible manner, including having personal protection equipment, training on how to use it properly and how to practice social distancing while getting the job done.

This is where true leaders would inspire the people to help keep each other safe, healthy, and well fed.

Recall the inspiration, organization and funding that kicked off the Space Race, the Manhattan Project, and the New Deal.

Where is the leader who can say with a straight face that "we do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard"? One that can say and be believed that "the only thing we have to fear is fear itself"?

Instead of being inspired to work together on what could be the greatest challenge of this generation we're left to fend for ourselves, left to cower home alone, to hope the scraps we've managed to scrounge will be enough to last us however long it takes for life to return to some semblance of normalcy, for the most destitute of us to face starvation, with a lack of trust in each other, in our leaders, and in society.
I’ve been establishing my own focus system for the past few months. Loosely based on Deep Work, Pomodoro technique, and a few other writings.

Ironic that you are working on an app mostly useful for going outside while stuck indoors?

Also I actually never thought of this UI for a weather app. Dark Sky has been kinda my go to. Some name suggestions: nowa (noaa weather app), nwa (noaa weather app), wir (will it rain?), wli or rli (weather/rain line interface), OutdoorTemperatureAndHumidityDisplayManagerFactoryInterface (is you write it in Java).
I own several rental properties, and I’ve already told my property managers that I’m receptive to rent reductions - less rent still beats an empty property. Any landlord who expects to get through this without a reduction in income is just delusional.
On a side note, after reading the article I finally learned the difference between leading and lagging indicators.

I always had this abstract idea of what they represented, but never really took the few seconds to try and understand what they mean.

Now I can play with the concepts. My world got a little bit wider.
Most of the cool properties of these aerogel-like materials is that they are 90%+ air. Silica also has a relatively low specific heat. So, even though the material is very hot, there is not that much heat energy. There is more heat in a cup of coffee.
good observations
You were the one misled, maybe you should contact them.
I've discussed my weight loss hear before, but I want to reiterate that when I was "trying" to lose weight, I only ate one medium/light meal a day. Ran about 2 miles a day (3 by the end) and still only lost 15 lbs in one month of this.

If people are frugal/miserly with their meals and careful starting now, and have long lasting food, we can live a long time.

Side note: After this experience, I've been eating one meal a day for about 2 years now. (I am a desk jockey so I don't need much) I can control my weight, and I eat more if I need it, and less if I don't.
I just looked into it now. As of 2018, apparent 38% of Americans are obese and 28% of Australians. So it's probably a difference that _does_ factor into costs, but I wouldn't know how much.
Well, you can't have a 20-year example in React, but let's say you hire a 10-year expert. Then such an individual might balk at things like, evaluate different frameworks to rewrite our frontend instead in, write an iOS app for us in Swift, write backend endpoints, decide how to make the UI performant considering the frontend/backend/database, spin up a new small service for a one-off tool.

In some sense, it's almost an attitude thing, which also reflects in what you've chosen to do in your career. As an extreme example, I have interviewed individuals who made it clear that they were a React expert and would not be willing to work on any legacy services that used jquery, any light backend work, anything.
Given, but even that test is somewhat dangerous. Where is the line when the Government refuses the truth you are seeking and tries to shut you down for clearly being a propagandist even if you are on the right track?

In those cases the defendants didn't know they were talking with government agents, whereas in this case they knew the person telling them to do this was the president. And it's much harder to claim that these people were criminally predisposed when it was Trump who was telling them that the election was stolen. I realize that proving entrapment is a very high bar, but I don't you can infer anything relevant here from those FBI cases.
Was that the marginal rate that you paid or the effective rate?
> the people who look like they were there with intent

I've heard some of the interviews with them, and almost all of them claimed they were there to undo the stolen election, and some also mentioned wanting to hang all democrats... so it's not like their intentions were hidden.
