I followed that sub closely in its early days (I was worried about World War III) and I can see why Russia wouldn't like it. Pro-Russian propaganda gets called out pretty quickly. Pro-Western propaganda gets called out, too, but not as much.

I am in the B2B space. We have mostly large/F500 customers and all my suggestions below come directly from my experience from the field.

The B2B sales journey ain't for the faint of heart (6-9 month sales cycles are all too common) but it is a journey that has recognizable steps and milestones. You may not see the steps now, but they are distinct and you will learn to read them. Be patient and persist.

#1. No one may know you today, but you surely know someone who knows someone. In other words, hit your LinkedIn. Pitch to anyone who will listen and listen to objections, questions, comments and feedback. You have to cast the widest net at first.

#2. Talk to system integrators and IT consultants. They are easier to approach than, say, a CIO at a F500 company. Not only do consultants know the problems intimately, they can also recommend your product to a Director of IT.

#3. Attend industry trade shows, if you can afford it. It's a great way to meet customers and pitch your ideas over drinks or lunch.

#4. Ask former colleagues, friends (or even family) for referrals to corporate managers. When I started out, we pitched at every level (manager, director, even analyst - sometimes, you will be surprised at how much influence a humble analyst wields at a large company.)

#5. Obviously, a website, a LinkedIn and a Twitter account are standard tools of business.

#6. Learn to speak the language of TCO and ROI. If you are unfamiliar with those acronyms, you have some exciting reading for tonight!

#7. Who are your competitors' reference customers? Read up on them and their case studies. Now build a target list of your prospects. E.g.: Walmart bought a software from a competition. Therefore, you should have Target on your prospect list.

I could go on and on. But let me know if you need any specific advice. I'm happy to help.

For people who are not familiar with the whole blocksize debate which has been raging in the bitcoin community for around three months now, even leading to outright censorship by theymos, perhaps asked to do so by "someone", the author of the post is highly biased and the article is biased too.

It refers for example to an attack by Ghash, and then dismisses their explanation that it was an employee without providing much evidence and without pointing that his dismissal of their explanation was simply speculation. Moreover, it suggests that Ghash gained 50% of hashing power and nothing happened. In fact a lot happened, so much so that Ghash currently has around 2% of the hashing power.

It is hard to present an unbiased view when one is necessarily biased. But as an engineer, one would expect someone like Rusty to present a more complete view of the problems as both sides see them and the solutions as both sides present them. His failure to do so raises questions on his integrity pertinent to his responsibility to present to the community a software which can work and problems are not hidden under the carpet.

Specifically, the Lightning Network which wishes to change bitcoin from a payment system as stated by satoshi to some experimental, uncoded, and conceptually flawed settlement system needs to be openly presented with all its attack vectors laid out as a lot of money could be lost otherwise. I do not see how I can trust such code however when one is extremely biased and makes no attempt whatever to overcome it.

Good enough is not sufficient where money is concerned Rusty. And to suggest that Gavin, or even Satoshi himself, is myopic, seeing only the "user" ui point of view, is slightly idiotic and shows that you do not quite understand the debate or you wish to wilfully mislead.

I'm a white male from Texas, which probably weighs into my experiences a great deal. It mostly feels like police officers want to be your friend and end the encounter with you as soon a possible unless you've done something wrong (like speeding or other small offenses) in which case they seem to act more like an angry and bothered parent.
Overall it seems like they don't want to have to deal with people unless they feel like they have to.
This is a fantastic new update to what is already a powerful tool for mobile-focused products. We've had to maintain a separate web infrastructure to allow users to preview and interact with content which this eliminates. I'm looking forward to experimenting with this asap.

> The Median 15 year annualized return on the S&P 500 since inception is 12%, back out 2% inflation and you're right at 10% returns.

lol, that's a ridiculous representation of things. A median 15 year return...

Imagine there's a fund with a 50 year history. Three 10 year periods had a return of 15%, and the other two periods had a return of -50%. Would you invest? Hell no. Yet they have an 10 year annualized median return of 15%. Who cares.

Beyond that, the 2% also isn't quite right.

In reality the return has been about 10% annualized since inception and the 100 year inflation rate has been 3.2%, but even that overstates some amazing returns a long time ago like in the 50s that won't return anytime soon.

If you want to talk about 15 year returns, talk about the most recent 15 years... Between 2000 and 2015 the return's have been 37% in total, or 2% per year, "back out 2% inflation" and I hope you enjoy your 0% returns.

Obviously we can cherry pick things all day like I just did, we can talk pre 2007 and post 2009, but 10% returns are definitely not reasonable for an average person for an average year, and that's what we're talking about here, that's what is reasonable, and that's not 10%. It's closer to 6% inflation adjusted I'd guess. And that's a huge difference, compounded over say 20 years on $100k it's a difference of $300k.

They're similar to Apple in that they use open source in their private ecosystems and also contribute stuff back to the community, just not their entire product. Apple has open sourced Bonjour (zeroconf), Webkit, LLVM, libdispatch, etc. Github has open sourced Atom, Jekyll, have contributed to lots of Ruby/Rails projects, etc.
I'd say you overestimate the number of people working on ad-supported software. Many, if not most of us are working on for-pay software and services.

The reason I'm ambivalent about ads is not because it funds my paycheck (it doesn't, we charge for our services), but because for all their evils, ads work as a kind of enforced redistribution mechanism, and since geographic adjustments of prices work poorly on the web, I fear that any kind of payment system will inevitably lead to prices being set at the US middle class income level, shutting out everyone with a lower income level.

I know can afford to pay for stuff, and I'm happy to do it, but that's only been true since I started working, and only because I'm lucky enough to have a decent job.

I suppose "we'll figure it out" is one answer, but I'm afraid I can't put my heart behind a proposal that would have left my teenager self closed off from most of the web.

I don't disagree with your points. In particular, I think real return, averaged geometrically, is a better number to look at and design these calculators / spreadsheets around. When you do that, the numbers end up looking quite a bit less cheerful, and as a side effect the big advantage of equities over debt erodes somewhat.

The other thing that the frugality and savings über alles crowd neglects to mention is that different people have different preferences (and that's okay!). Including preferences dealing with intertemporal discounting. It's one thing when you are trying to develop pithy messaging aimed at the general public and quite another to make un-nuanced arguments in forums that allow for them.
Just wanted to point out that you restated what was said in the parent.

>In practice, there may be costs associated with negotiations (e.g. lawyers), it may be infeasible to negotiate between all parties (e.g. if there are many farmers affected), or property rights are not sufficiently strong for one party to bar another from producing negative externalities, all of which can lead to failures of the theorem.

I very much support that, but I don't think it should be part of his equation. I'm totally for supporting those who need it, but making an equation saying 'look I don't need to work as much, I can live off of interest from $400k in capital and government welfare and a bit of work' obviously makes no sense, even if you take out the capital. Welfare shouldn't be part of any equation of how to make a living because it's a priori meant to be an exception for those who can't make a living, unless the country is on basic income which no country is as of yet.

What state do you live in?! I make 20k less than that as a junior dev.
Let's say you have 40k readers and 50/50 overhead vs writers. So, 40k people pay 1$ and get to read the output from ~10 writers. Now, get another ~2k people to sign up and that just about covers another author assuming your overhead does not increase.

Clearly, you can play with these numbers with various assumptions and readerships. But, the point is you can scale things down with paid subscribers.

OK. Fair enough. I use zsh (only scratching the surface) because years ago it turned out that the completion "seemed" to me to be much more powerful (e.g., fuzzy matching, substring matching, etc.), but i haven't invested time to become a wizard. Do you (or anyone else here) endorse a shell which is worth becoming a wizard in? I'm thinking perhaps eshell or simply zsh-in-M-x-shell is perhaps a good starting point, but somehow that's always felt awkward to me, notably because completion seemed to be weaker than simply xterm+zsh.

Why would I guarantee something if I could avoid it? Investment returns are lumpy; some years you get +23%, other years you get -20% (probably 2008, for example), why would a fund manager offer a guarantee?

An average of 10% over a long period is doable; Berkshire Hathaway has averaged +15% for 40 years. Just because fund don't guarantee something doesn't mean it isn't doable.

You're right, wrappers can abstract away complexity. That's effectively what TUF is: a wrapper framework around low level crypto primitives that achieves a secure content distribution system. GPG alone would not have given sufficient guarantees around freshness and survivable key compromise.

TUF should be understood as a higher level concept than GPG. There are additional features of the TUF spec that we'll be implementing in later versions, such as threshold signing (k of n signatures required for verification) and secure delegation.

For what its worth, TUF could be implemented on top of GPG just fine. If folks have an appetite for that we'd welcome contributions here: https://github.com/docker/notary

You are certainly entitled to your philosophy... but I don't get the sense you've validated it with data. When you hold yourself to account in this way, your level of certainty about what works and what doesn't decreases dramatically.

Completely agree that our site and message can be improved. It's a continual work in progress. That said, the exit intent popup has been a large driver of leads for us. There are doubtlessly better ways to get leads, but given limited time to seek perfection, for now I'd rather have the clients this gets us than the approval of a purist who offers no data, just personal opinions.

I don't understand why we don't make the container ID a hash of the image contents, have the docker CLI verify it, and let people use conventional means to trustedly pass around the correct container ID.

While likely to work (I don't use powershell), I think you missed the main constraint posed: kill a running GUI with a certain name.

Your solution finds the process to kill only if the executable path is at a known location.

How would you do this if you only know what the process name will be -- e.g., what if the executable path is on D:\stuff\gui.exe on host1 and E:\secretstuff\gui.exe on host2, if gui.exe always runs as a process named "Updatable GUI Thing"?

Ask HN: do Reflows and Repaints really cost too much?
is Reflows & Repaints really cost too much to the point that makes me use something that use twice the memory i should use (ex: ReactJS) ?
actually sometimes more,
imagine implementing the facebook newsfeed using react and flux,
react will have a virtual version of the dom in memory,
and you should have all the posts objects saved in stores,
so that is a lot of memory,
sometimes i feel that the JS community didn't find the right way to build apps until now,
what do you think?

If they do, I (and I believe at least a dozen other people) will seriously consider terminating my presence on Twitter. I'm mostly a passive user anyway, and the recent (well, 2-3 years time frame) changes, such as moving pictures and "sponsored tweets" have been quite annoying. The forced conciseness of the tweets is the only thing that keeps me from pushing the button.

Now, I know I sound like a grumpy old cat, but when some things change, they eventually end up being nothing like the original. Just compare that with Reddit or Hacker News, for instance. The basic laws (and even visuals, in the case of HN) have been the same for some years now, yet the community is thriving.
> what if they eventually decide they want to remove the 140-character limit from tweets?

I get that the charm of Twitter to many is brevity.

But it might do wonders for intelligent discourse. Twitter has popularized spelling abortions (u, r, 4, etc), dumbed-down vocabulary and hashtags over substance. It may have been fine when it was just your friends chatting about what was going on during the weekend; but it's especially egregious when it's politicians or scientists trying to condense important subjects into 140-characters, which then get regurgitated on the nightly news. Like we're all a bunch of 14-year olds texting each other. Even worse is when this extreme brevity leads to entirely avoidable misunderstandings.

I think it'd really help if Twitter were based on word count instead of character count (and didn't count articles), so people could at least write like adults. And if you really need more than a sentence or two, then allow for a long-form text box that'd turn into a clickable "More ..." link after the summary message. Those that don't want to read much can simply ignore such links, and unfollow repeat offenders.

Another fun side effect of this character rule: you can say 3-4x as much in a single tweet in Japanese or Chinese as you can in English (example: 象 = elephant, yet is only one character instead of eight.)
Says the American. Now look at, say, the German or Russian stock market. ;-)

As a California RE brokerage we join each MLS and get a direct feed from their RETS api. It's a dramatically better data feed than any of the aggregators offer and we get listings the minute they come on market (well our polling interval is more like 5 minutes). So far we have 100% coverage in San Francisco, Oakland/East Bay, Silicon Valley, and Los Angeles. We've just joined the San Diego MLS and will have data there soon. And yes, our strategy is to go deep on California, prioritizing data quality over sheer number of listings.
