Hey @jerrysievert, this is Omer from Cesanta. Great to hear that Smart.js worked for you. Would you mind sharing a bit more on your project? I can be reached at omer at cesanta.com Thanks and best of luck!
Why outsource when you can insource instead? Thanks to lobbying both parties support ever increasing numbers of H-1B visas. You can even get the departing developers to train their replacements ;<(.

During the last couple of months I've been working out a lot with kettlebells, so this weekend I've made a small compilation of the best kettlebell workout videos that I found on youtube.

Maybe this list can be useful to some fellow members of the HN Community.

Tips and more workout videos links are welcomed :)
Yes, and they suffered from many of the same issues co-ops suffer from - expectations of salary privacy and others judgements being made public, etc

There is nothing stopping a co-op agency. It's just awkward I guess
I mean the data warehousing part of the stasi.

Didn't mean to imply the entire government is 100% stasi, I mean their data warehousing obsession about their own citizens is exactly stasi-like.
I look for something like this too. I have 100+GB of photos which need to organized and some must deleted. I don't have time to organize this, so other family members can do this from their computers.

So you want to fit all humans with radio transponders? That's going to be fun to enforce.
I think the difference between self-driving cars and Apollo program/subs examples is that the cars can be tested much more thoroughly. No matter how good your simulators are for space conditions, you're never going to really know how it's going to work in actual conditions. Self-driving cars can and are logging millions of miles in a variety of conditions, and every common and almost every remote case will be dealt with before launched to the general public.
Not all password managers are commercial, closed-source, and cloud-connected. This probably wasn't a main point of yours, but since you mentioned LastPass I felt this should be clarified.

I'm currently using PasswordSafe (in Wine on Linux) with git to version/synchronize between systems. It is kinda painful, but at least it's nice to not be syncing to somebody's cloud or running in a browser.

I've been thinking about converting an old Android device into a more secure password manager. I envision having the device hold the decryption key for the PW "vault" as long as it's connected to my authenticated system. I either request credentials from the PC and approve on-device, or select them on the screen, and it types them as a USB keyboard (or perhaps some other way less prone to garden-variety keyloggers.) I guess I haven't because it's kind of a lot of effort and will lower convenience levels. :)

I ought to at least find a better way than the clipboard, to transfer passwords from the manager app to the browser etc...
That is kind of what I meant - changing management teams, and same teams changing their minds, is one of the great problems of traditional agencies (and the rest of us!). Stopping it, or getting out in front of it, is probably the main survival skill an agency needs (along with building a pipeline)

Ultimately this is a nice idea but which are we - a team of developers who do not want to be an agency? An agency with a twist? This matters because it defines how people hire them and view them.

It's historically inaccurate, but in practice true that without slowing down immigration it's pretty much impossible to sustain a system in which people "looking for work" are entitled to higher PPP incomes and better services than labourers in virtually all the rest of the world. (But there are obvious drawbacks to taking things to the opposite extreme and banning all immigration: it might be a lot more difficult and expensive to run the NHS without immigrant healthcare professionals, for example)

But of course you're right that borders have been closed by leaders believing they help enforce cultural and political stability for eons before that.
There seemed to be no reason why everyone couldn’t just use the same prime, and, in fact, many applications tend to use standardized or hard-coded primes.

Then, if the prime number is standardized or hard-coded, why they just not use it? Why we need to break it?
Most phones are android though and there you have to give up your contact list or simply not install the app.
Property ownership is pretty much just an agreement among people, it's not a natural right.

In fact, you can discover the real owner of your property if you stop paying property taxes, or when a local government decides they want a road there.

Yes, but even the best agency will every so often run into a bad client. I think that's analogous to what happened here.
The thing that humans can do that machines cannot is react to something that they never expected and haven't been programmed for. A human can generalise or invent a solution to a new situation that a computer simply will not be able to do.

You are correct that in the vast majority of situations a computer will outperform a human. I've avoided accidents by luck more than judgement, guessing that the car will be able to do what I'm asking (whilst the autopilot would know at all times and react in milliseconds).

All the world needs to accept is that at some point someone will die because of an auto pilot error and that's ok because it's net lower numbers of deaths than the same number of humans driving.
Where did you get the data on coffee shops and chicken shops from?
I wouldn't be so sure. I noticed for the first time just a few days ago my phone's contacts were showing up on Facebook as suggested friends. These weren't facebook profiles, just a name, phone number and the option to email them. I checked all my settings for facebook and messenger apps and all 'sync contacts' options were disabled and I have never enabled them. I'm on android. So, my guess is they were somehow granted permissions on installing the app and then the options to disable this actually don't do anything. If there was an option upon install to deny access to phone contacts I definitely would have denied it - if they don't provide the option to do this on install, they're being sneaky.

There are parks? Where exactly? Riding anywhere but on the road is dangerous. Most reasonably fit road bike cyclist can average 18-19 mph and possibly much faster on a slight declines.

We should be promoting cycling not making it even more difficult. Self driving cars can make cyclist significantly safer for everyone. The most dangerous thing on the roads right now is human controlled cars.

When the current elevator models were being tested, they probably had someone ready to press the STOP button if they went awry. Yet they were still the exact same driverless elevators you're talking about, just in a test environment. And so are Google cars currently.
I'm getting tired of how aggressive Facebook is at suggesting new friends.

Facebook sends me phone notifications telling me they've found someone I might know. I get it if it was a new profile and they want the ball rolling, but I have over 900 friends on Facebook already, many I can barely remember where I've met. Why do I need more people I barely know?

What is it that makes Facebook think their app is more engaging if my friend list if full of people I barely know and never interact with?
Automated or remotely controlled?
There's no justification for the assumption of a high coffee-to-chicken ratio implying up-and-coming. It's not an unreasonable assumption, but it's definitely anecdotal.
So what? So are human rights or human laws.
Whilst interchange is indeed the largest part of processing costs, there are still assessments (0.13%) and brand fees (FANF, cross border fees (1.25% for Visa), etc) that increase the cost of processing over interchange.

Square can only hope to make a decent margin on its 2.75% pricing by 1. seeing a preferred distribution mix on card types (such as, high debit card usage; less Amex; less expensive rewards cards; high cards qualifying at card present rates & no downgrades) and/or 2. special interchange discounts with the networks based on growth initiatives and/or fraud tools.

If they can't generate enough $$ from processing revenue, they'll need to use card processing as a loss leader for other services (loans, analytics, marketing)...

I walk and cycle over other people's land all the time - in fact I have a legal right to do that (with some pretty sensible restrictions). I can't remember ever meeting anyone who had a problem with me doing this - in fact a lot of farmers and gamekeepers seem quite happy to have you there if it's clear you are being sensible.

Yes, I realize that. However, it is either political arm, as you wrote, or NGOs financed from abroad. Both are doing it for personal gain. But they are still minority, just very loud one and quite powerful one (not in the democratic sense, though).

However, what they are doing is showing great example to the undecided, who are waking up.
I want a small hardware, non-connected tablet that acts exclusively as a password manager. It connects to the computer I'm using as a USB keyboard device and only "types" a password when I physically tell it to ("yubikey on steroids").

I agree. All those charities ands civil liberties groups and millions of average citizens sure are dangerous to our life and liberty.

I'm glad the NSA and GCHQ are keeping tabs on them. Who knows when they might get a little too uppity and try change the status quo?
"Strong borders came with the welfare state"

The Hadrian and Antonine walls close to where I am suggest otherwise. Also a lot of borders well before the "welfare state" were policed carefully to collect taxes - which is why smuggling was such a big thing in many areas.
> For art music, there are already tons of resources for learning how to appreciate it more deeply.

Could you recommend something? I'm sceptical about "dancing about architecture", but I'd like to give it a try. So far I like some classical music (the famous guys mostly, also some stuff from Chopin), but I never was hardcore about that.

> Are you saying that video game music has more to offer besides reliving gaming memories?

Would Chopin's polonaises be less worthy had he wrote them for a video game? There's any genre you can name in videogame music. Even statisticaly there has to be something good there. From non-chiptunes I particulary like OSTs for the first Witcher and Bastion.

And then there are genres that evolved with and for video games (and demoscene), like chiptunes or mods, and there's a lot of good music there, too. In fact chiptunes share a lot of constraints with symphonic music, and the amount of creativity there is great (imagine every classical composer had a private orchestra available for experimenting 24h/7 since he was a kid). For nice compilation of recent chiptunes see https://www.reddit.com/r/chiptunes/comments/pq72m/what_chipt...
Agreed that they do not forget a damn thing. However, some users have their friends list hidden - so you could be having mutual friends with that person without FB telling you.
I always thought it would be a neat HCI (or similar) experiment to create an app without any buttons. It would probably end up being a UX nightmare but the point would be to challenge the long held monopoly of the button/radio-button/checkbox/menu/etc gui elements that are present in every app.

I've just realised that this wasn't a `Show HN` so the submitter and the author may well be different people. I've left a comment on the medium article.

The reason I ask is that I recently purchased a house in Manchester and as part of that collected as much data as possible on things like crime stats, walking time to nearest reailway station, cycling time to work, etc. I didn't get data on coffee or chicken shops. I did consider it, and would have pulled it from OSM but that data is very incomplete with regards to this sort of data.
Bootstrapping attitude to the rescue: the more you do with little money, the more you can do when money is raised, and longer.

RAID1 surely? Take one out and the array keeps working (though perhaps at lower performance).

This sort of job-share is not uncommon in some office environments, and it is part of how "zero hours contracts" work for companies like restaurants and so forth. Employ more people than you absolutely need for knowledge redundancy but don't give them full time hours. Then as people leave others take up the slack until replacement devices (sorry, people) can be brought online or a temporarily offline device is repaired (i.e. a sick/injured person gets better and returns to work) and resynced.

Sometimes it is very convenient for the workers as well as the companies, particularly those who can't, or don't want to, work full time for one of many reasons. But it can also be used to keep wages/conditions artificially low because from the companies PoV everyone is relatively easy to replace, temporarily from within the rest of the workforce and long term by bringing someone new in who the other part(s) of the job-share train on-the-job (I've actually seen this referred to as a Redundant Array of Inexpensive People - with the sound of the acronym a deliberate statement of how some feel about the situation).

IMO the problem with explicitly taking on two people at the same time to job-share like that is that they are more likely to chose to leave at the same time (or close to) which kills a chunk of the skill/knowledge sharing benefit.
I also have a R3, it's very nice, understated (doesn't look like a transformer's idea of a PC) and very, very quiet.

And I'm the same, I regularly upgrade bits, it's easy, and quite cheap too.. DDR4 memory is quite cheap at the moment for example, so I stocked up the mobo, that should do me for a few years!

A note tho, every 6 months I take the PC down, remove the case panels and give it a good clean, remove the dust etc. I take particularly good care of the bits that are harder to service, like the graphic card fans..
I totally agree that going slower is faster.

I disagree that the problem is cowboy coding. I'd identify the rope as carefully understanding the actual goals of the software and the way it functions in the world. Good engineering teams going "ropeless" rarely fuck up in a technical sense. I've been writing software long enough that my engineering judgement is usually pretty solid. Where they fuck up is building tons of extraneous functionality with the extra capacity, losing touch with what their software actually does in the world.

That is not fair. The cars these days can and do it reliably, Toyota was an exception, not the rule. And the state of the art can only get better. A "switched off" human is useless and that creates suffering around it, why not avoid it if we can?
Wouldn't you want an area with both? I may be missing the context of London's culture - but if 'up and coming' means 'being gentrified' wouldn't you want to pick an area that has a barbell distribution of upper class and lower class establishments?
Having read the post, I wonder about debugging of typescript, especially in the browser environment. Source maps work to some degree, but do those scale for a large project? What is the experience of debugging a large application built using TypeScript compared to plain Javascript?
> This approach does not apply to most artists. Nobody is going to pay an author a full-time salary to write new books just for them, or a musician to make new music just for them.

That's exactly how it worked before invention of phonograph.

> The better option for most artists is to invest in creating the best work they can and sell it for commodity prices to a lot of people.

That's absolutely absurd. For one person that strikes gold and makes comfy living, five will make some living and hundreds will have no money from their creative bets. Create something in hope someone will buy it is most of the time very inefficient way to attempt to make money. It's way easier to find people who will buy your stuff and make it for them.
I have been arguing this for years - in a 10% tongue-in-cheek kind of way - and it's strange to see it written down in an article.

The stock response tends to be that in an ideal world it would be great, but it's not practical. Of course, perfectly decent, well-meaning and good-hearted white people sat around dinner tables during apartheid and slavery and said exactly the same thing. History has proven them wrong, and in fact if we imagine popular support for uncontrolled global immigration, it's rather easy to conceive a practical implementation - quotas gradually increased, borders lowered - it could be achieved in a controlled way.

I also hear the 'why should we?' response. Indonesia has squandered its natural resources - aka it's their own fault they're poor. But none of us would stand in front of a classful of Indonesian schoolchildren and say this. Being born in a rich western country is a colossal slice of luck, not a personal achievement. The fact is that thinking of people in terms of nations tends to dehumanise them, and that's one of the reasons why greater migration and a blurring of borders would be a good thing.

The economic arguments around immigration have raged in the press here in the UK for the last few years. Here at least the general academic consensus has been that it's a net plus, and that the additional burden on state benefits is outweighed by the economic benefits of a well-motivated and grateful migrant workforce. The risk to any benefits system is not more people per se, but that it will be abused - ie the development of a benefits culture, where people choose not to work because the safety net will support them. It's up to us to decide whether this attitude is more likely in the indigenous population or with recent economic migrants.

The real barrier to adoption is lack of popular support, and I accept that few people are going to agree with me on this issue. But then again, there's this: http://goo.gl/95g5kQ
Our best of the best image recognition tech cannot see a difference between a zebra, and a sofa in a zebra print. I think "reading hand signals of a policeman/workman on the road" is far far far beyond what we can currently do. Or rather - I'm sure we can make a solution which will work right now, in perfect conditions. I'm sure it will fail in the dark/rain/snow or if the worker is making small gestures near his hip rather than moving hands high up in the air. There's just so much uncertainty in driving that I think for cars to be absolutely 100% automated, where you can genuinely go to sleep when the car drives, the roads would need to be 100% automated as well, with beacons everywhere. That will probably happen, but it's definitely not "3 years away".
Inspiring assumption... I don't think Peckham is exactly your dream area :)
Let's be fair. Not much of our millions of years of evolution has fully prepared us to tackle the slew of random events and conditions the daily driver has to face. And while our hundreds of thousands of years of tool use has certainly managed to have some influence on our genome we're still barely equipped to operate tools that increase our speed, strength, and carrying capacity by orders of magnitude. This is demonstrated every day by the astonishingly huge number of terrible accidents caused by these tools. Automobiles are responsible for perhaps the most (no doubt due to the vastly varying levels of skill and practice across their operators). Human decision making is simply not fast enough to handle all of the situations one can encounter while operating a motor vehicle and is certainly many times slower in any given situation than a highly optimized specialized system designed to solve that type of problem. The area where human brains currently have the advantage is in reacting to novel edge cases, but at that point providing adequate autonomous conveyance at safer-than-human accident rates becomes a numbers game.
I wonder how the parallel parking system copes with tailgaters rendering a specific spot untenable.
You put a fried chicken shop in a place where lots of people go while you put a coffee shop in places where there are few coffee shops. I'm sure that correlates with 'up and coming', but it's not necessarily a signature. Some up and coming places will have neither.
Have you ever heard the saying a little knowledge is a dangerous thing?

> even in the face of death, a Jew must refuse pork in order to remain true to his people

Both you and the author have completely misunderstood this episode.

There is NO law requiring death from eating pork! There is however a law that if an oppressor tries to make someone violate a law in public you must must accept death rather than comply with even the most minor offence.

The important part here is "in public".

Pork simply has nothing whatsoever to do with it!

And that's just one of the reasons this article, while a nice story, is simply not accurate.

(At least about Jews, but when it gets the part I know well wrong it doesn't give me much confidence in the rest where I don't have the knowledge to check - it's definitely a great story though.)
YMMV however I have only had positive experiences with recruiters. There are obviously dicks in the industry but these are easy to block or ignore. I have used the same recruiter for my last 6 contracts over approx 5 years and she has been awesome I. E. Saved me a load of hassle or down time between contracts.
