These sort of things really bother me, because they cause me a lot of trouble.

I am really uncomfortable in front of people, and no matter how honest I am, I am show my discomfort in interacting with people quite a lot. I look around the room while talking to people, I shuffle around, sometimes I sweat just talking about the weather... I have social anxiety obviously, but it's awkward to start a conversation with anyone by saying, "Oh hey, this interaction is going to be really awkward because I have social anxiety." I tried it for a while and most people seemed to just blow it off.

It's caused me quite a few issues with friends who frequently think I'm lying when asked 'truth-seeking questions. More importantly authority figures tend to misinterpret this as me being deceptive or uncooperative.

---

The most recent example was a police officer that came to my house to see if I had seen my neighbor's car recently. The car had been stolen and they were trying to determine the last known time it was present. As usual, during the rather normal questions I was rocking back and forth, chewing on my nails and shuffling my feet. I'm painfully aware of these things and consciously try to stop each little tick, one by one.

It didn't take long for the officer to ask why I was so nervous, and the he promptly switched the subject and asked if I had any hobbies. I'm fairly obsessive about my hobbies, and I pretty much immediately started rambling about what I was doing. I suspect I stopped most of my 'nervous ticks', because he interrupted my ramble to ask why I was lying about not having seen the car lately.

It was extremely offputting, since I wasn't lying. I got really nervous again, and started thinking about how I 'screwed up' the interaction. Instead of responding to his question I simply told him that I had really bad social anxiety and this questioning was really difficult for me. That didn't help at all.

I ended up with another officer at my door, with more questions that I had no answers to, and I became more and more nervous. Needless to say this went on for ~30 minutes just standing at my front door until I suppose they realized that I was either telling the truth, or was a completely unreliable witness (I was!).

---

Things like that aren't rare for me. It sucks, and early in my life it caused me to simply lie a lot. People almost always thought I was 'up to something' or 'not telling the true', so I would just go with it. I eventually learned the value of consistent honesty, but I am treated the same regardless.

It goes without saying that this being in my head during every single personal encounter causes me even more anxiety and unsuredness about my responses to someone.

edit: I noticed I actually started rocking back and forth and itching my head randomly while writing this post... bleh.
I've tried a few over the years and finally alighted on Gandi.

Not always the cheapest, but they're dependable, they're in the EU and they have a very, very broad selection. The latter is important because I have a fairly eclectic mix of domain names and I'm happy to pay a premium so I don't have to deal with 3 different registrars.

Timely post. My Father (80) is in the process of publishing a book titled "Dear Mom: Letters Home From a Diplomatic Courier 50 Years Ago."

Basically his Mother kept all the letters/postcards (~700) he sent home during his time traveling the World with the State Department. He recently began digitizing them to compile a book. It is almost a re-life Forest Gump story...a man in Moscow at the height of the cold war; being in Vietnam 6 years before the War and seeing the stage being set; camping in the Himalayas watching Chinese aggression against Buddhism; commenting on Black Churches being bombed in the South back home, etc...But really what is most striking is we think communication has changed so much in 50 years (internet, social media) but there is no doubt what we communicate is otherwise unchanged, like OP students requesting money in the middle ages.

For those with interest here are a few letters, interested to hear the reaction of anyone outside friends/family: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/wudj58edm2fjqd9/AAAQuGGfqE61orF5a...
I'm writing this piece right now, so any comments on it very much appreciated. Btw.: That marketing lady told me to tell you: The voucher "mlfetool" gives you 50% off
That's like claiming BMW is playing in a pool largely shaped by budget car makers like Hyundai. Apple may have only had ~5% of PC market share for 15 years, but it's owned roughly half the total global profit share for about a decade, and their PC market and profit share has been steadily increasing during most of that period. And they've been doing exactly the same thing in the mobile business for more than 5 years as well.

One thing is certain. A guaranteed way for Apple to fail is if they start worrying about how other manufacturers are 'shaping' the market. It would kill them stone dead in a matter of a few years, tops.

So is the advantage that it's more performant than iptables+virtual interfaces? If I use iptables to distribute traffic over virtual interfaces do IP headers get parsed twice by the kernel in some inefficient way?
Yes but this improvement was achieved by improvements (and increased uptake of) the traditional baby monitor. His point that the smart onesy is a bad idea stands irrespective.

> Outpatient care is a big field these days. Something that, with extremely little effort, can reduce the odds of death or disability, is quite tempting. A smart nappy/diaper with a disposable nutrition-analysing smart-chip is not that far off.

Or we could save the money spent on gadget nappies and instead use the money to pay for better/more nursing (and integrating nutritional requirements into patient care).
I was with GoDaddy & NetSol for years. I found NetSol was particularly terrible. Been with NameCheap for a few years now and haven't had any trouble. Not a great interface, but the price is right and support has been fine.

Small note, but there are other major factors in the decline of SIDS besides just not putting infants to sleep on their stomach, although they generally all stem from the idea of educating new parents about basic safety procedures that are not always intuitive.
Except in some places, this is illegal. And because other drivers know that, doing it is fraught with danger.
If most other people are following the rules, I will certainly follow them. Given that dependency, I can't guarantee anything though.

If you trust Google, you can consider https://domains.google.com/registrar too. It's fairly straight-forward, no nickel and dime, you get private registration for free, and I am quite confident that it'll be hard for someone to use social engineering to steal my domain from there.

Where does this guy find people to work for him? I'd only work for him as an absolute last resort; if I had no other options... but that doesn't describe anyone who is remotely qualified to run a funded startup.

This is the major reason I have turned down investment (even when it looked like I was worth it) - you get some asshole like this whining about how you aren't pretending to work enough, about how you aren't neglecting your family enough, about how your house isn't as tiny and cheap as it could be.

You know what? I have options. There are thousands of employers within easy bicycle distance, all who will pay me very well, many who will even cook me pretty good food. Most of them will give me stock options with a higher total expected return (even before accounting for the diminishing marginal value of money) than a funded startup.

That's the problem, from the perspective of people like OP, technical people have choices. Technical people who have the social skills to even have a chance at getting money have huge numbers of choices.

If I am going to live in a tiny house while working ridiculous hours (which, incidentally, seems to be what I'm doing lately) there's still no real reason for me to let some asshole come in and start complaining about how hard I'm working... fuck, I can support like three people off what I make as a contractor at one of the more comfortable area employers. Why do I need to deal with this guy?
GoDaddy has had a lot of social engineering scandals, I wouldn't ever do any business with them.

Been with namecheap for quite a while, had no issues.
People didn't want Newtons either and PDAs were considered nerdy. Now you're a outlier if you don't have one. People will want it when it's presented correctly with the right UX and it has the right set of features.
I don't think any games were specifically inspired by step-wells (would be glad to contradicted with examples) but you point out a great place for game devs to draw inspiration from.
I've never understood the desire to add smart technology to the smoke alarm. Once properly installed a smoke alarm should be interacted with when (1) there is a fire, (2) the battery is running flat. False alarms pretty much mean you've installed it wrong.

I don't know if this is the case for upper grades, but my wife is a kindergarten teacher and the idea that she has time to make lessons during her contracted hours is really far from reality. In her contracted hours, she has about 20 minutes to herself where she can sit down and eat and that's about it. I remember in high school the teachers had about an hour during the day to themselves, but I always heard that went straight to grading.
Not going to lie, this seems like a terrible language for musicians to compose in. Maybe I need time to get used to it, but it looks more like an esoteric programming language to me. The amount of brackets needed for it to work is just begging for typos.

Furthermore, the syntax doesn't feel "readable" like a music score. The symbolic notation doesn't click for me. I'd like to be able to hear what is going on in my head, and this just doesn't seem designed for that. By contrast, Alda (a musical language posted yesterday) is very readable to me as a musician. ABC notation and Lilypond were very good sources of inspiration.

There are some things I like about Skoar. The use of a really good audio engine to produce the sound wins in my book (there doesn't seem to be any obvious way to control the sound itself, though.) I think the way you express dynamics using hashes is pretty novel. (May want to consider using decibel scaling instead of linear scaling.) I like the fact that you have incorporated programming elements like conditionals, loops, and variables.

Both Alda and Skoar basically focus on conventional western music notation, which is perhaps the most boring part of computer generated music. Sound design plays much greater importance, and it makes me sad to see no focus on that whatsoever (Sound is uh... the part that actually makes the music).

I'm hesitant to share this on HN because it's not done yet, but I too, made yet another musical language:

I don't know. I am not totally sure of course, but there are rather significant examples where it was discovered that past civilizations were far more advanced than they were given credit for based on the scraps that were the most obvious evidence and remains. I am sure that certain events like invading hordes and economic / ecological collapses have destroyed way more than humanity has achieved. 5 steps forward 4 steps back. Jut take the invasion of the Americas as a rather perfect example, it is now seen as a type of progress, but all the skill, knowledge, and capacity of the Mesoamerican cultures was totally and utterly vanquished and had to essentially be restarted by the people that came to the Americas. Who knows what all was lost. Just imagine what all was lost when the Library of Alexandria burned, I believe that single event set back humanity at least 1,000 years if not more considering opportunity cost and compounding advances. Imagine if humanity had discovered electricity and computation 1,000 years ago.

I too use Gandi, but am not as happy as I used to be with them.

I bought a domain from them a while back with private registration; a few weeks later I found out that private registration was not available for that TLD, and my details were publicly visible, making the domain unusable to me. I emailed Gandi, and they told me there was nothing they could do; they were not willing to refund my money, even though their site said private whois was possible for that TLD.
Source? Is this what the dead 17 year-olds tell you?
My wife is a kindergarten teacher and absolutely loves TeacherPayTeachers. For younger kids, the quality of stuff she finds is much higher than what I guess you find for older kids' math. She uses is not because she can't make materials, but because the ~$1 it costs to purchase material cuts about an hour or two out of her several hours of planning and creating materials a night that she does between 5-10 on weeknights.
I work at a market research/consulting firm that specializes in the embedded devices market. This means we cover any semi-specialized device with a CPU that is not a desktop, laptop, or tablet.

The consumer-facing home IoT stuff (Nest, smart-fridge, smart-car etc.) gets a lot of press because it's exciting and it appeals to the least common denominator - anyone from an electrical engineer to a nanny can see how these devices might affect their lives.

Most of the (pretty astronomical) growth of the embedded device market is driven by the applications of industrial connectivity. Think aerospace & defense, automotive, medical, municipal, retail automation. The industries that don't make for sexy headlines.

Ultimately, I believe the entire IoT movement is going to contribute substantially to the economy in the form of cost-savings. Companies will be able to access and analyze a lot more data which will hopefully enable leaner operations due to process refinement and resource conservation. It's a good time to be in the security and analytics business.

While cost savings are great for the bottom line, we also need to find a way to create new markets and generate new, useful products. Hopefully the government has invested enough in R&D to enable the next internet to begin to take root sometime soon, whatever that may be.

From my perspective, it would make sense that virtual reality would be a huge paradigm shift in the way that we create and consume information, which seems to be an underlying theme driving many advances in technology and overall quality of life.

IoT seems to be the maturation of internet connectivity - what's next in the world of technology?
Interestingly this is actually a solved problem that we have forgotten the solution to. Copper naturally kills most pathogens. Brass door handles therefore act to prevent touch based spread of pathogens -- but plastic is cheaper.
I do. And you are right. I think we will get to a place where one company does it right, before we agree on an interoperable standard.
As far as I can tell the argument goes like this: people are only likely to click on the number one or number two search result for a given search. Pushing favorable news stories about a candidate to the number one or number two spots (instead of neutral or negative stories) influences public opinion positively in favor of the candidate.

If found it a bit difficult to get accurate sales numbers of how all 32-bit embedded processors compare to all 8-bit embedded processors. However, there are still tens of billions of Intel 8051 (introduced in 1980) derived processors/cores/IP shipped every year, so it's safe to assume the whole market is still vast.

I had this question a few months ago and eventually settled on iwantmyname. I'm pleased I did. Simply fantastic service in my experience. Friendly customer service staff who'll just have a light-hearted chat on Twitter and a really, genuinely simple and useful control panel. Pricing OK, I'm paying £9.90/year for a .net, can't remember about others. I highly recommend them.
With the public transit in my city you're limited to a very restrictive set of hours, many stops are only serviced once an hour so you're restricted in how you go about your day (and every stop you make takes at minimum an hour!), and the travel itself can take upwards of an hour for a trip that takes ten minutes by car... during rush hour.

There is no Uber. Taxis are expensive and unreliable. It's too cold to run or bike most of the year. Everyone owns cars or has someone who does drive them around.

These articles always love to talk about Uber and public transit as eating away at the car market... But outside of the major centers where people are writing these articles, the car is still often king.
Except there is no Linux presence on any graph on this link.

Thanks, but I ended up getting an android device. I'm sure there's some way for Linux to jump through Apple's hoops and do this, my point is that the experience was not premium at all. I had to fight the phone to transfer some files, whereas android just let's me drag and drop them in.

Websites Fall into functional categories. Sites within a given category look the same. Sites about a product need a powerful visual "grabber" element that communicates key brand points along with their name, then they need to provide key informational points on am easy to digest manner, often segregating the audience by interest. The big banner, three subtopics layout is a popular way to achieve this.

But not all websites are about introducing a product. Some are about getting immediate social interaction. Some are about exposing deep information in a set of categories. Some are about hierarchical display of the newest possible information. They don't tend to use the banner/three subheadings layout.
I use Namecheap, which offers 2FA. I'm sure others do as well at this point but that's a requirement for me.
I've been with name.com for probably five years now and I've been pretty happy with them. If I've ever had a question, I can call them and get right through and have my question answered. They haven't given me a reason to look anywhere else.
Why Britain Has Secret 'Ghost Trains'
This notion that software must have a community is really tiresome and reeks of entitlement. Most people who create OSS projects are doing so in their spare time as a charitable endeavor and don't want to support it forever. Open sourcing end-of-life products so they can possibly have a second life as open source software, serve as code examples to the community and be preserved as part of our collective history is undoubtedly a good thing. Spreading the idea that only supported community-driven OSS is worthy of existence is basically asking anybody who ever open sources anything to commit to involving themselves with it indefinitely.

If that's the barrier to entry, I suspect you'll see a lot less open source software going forward into the future. ;)

You may also register domains with Amazon AWS. They are reselling Gandi, but it's $12/year and it's nice to have them all centralized under the AWS console if you use AWS.
As an analyst, which vendors do you see most well-poised to take financial advantage of this change, from a supplier perspective? ARM? Texas Instruments?
As a company, we own a lot of domains, so we like to spread the load. We use lots of registrars. Of the major ones, I'd say Namecheap and Gandi are the best. We also use DNSimple who are good but have since moved to "I Want My Name" for the newest ones since they don't require you to upgrade your account the more domains you buy (they price their services into the domain cost instead, which works better for us).

All that said, I'd love to have a registrar that just sent us an annual bill for all of our domains (even if it's in advance) rather than billing us separately for every one. It's an accounting headache with all the expenses. I believe GoDaddy does that, but.. no thanks :)
