Developing that is way overkill for the scale you have now. Just type up an invoice by hand for all of your three customers, send them over, and cash the checks they write you.

This means that you're done in fifteen minutes rather than a week.

Yeah it's almost as if when a woman gets depressed she has other people in her life who will take care of her. In my state I need to find someone else to pay my rent if I want to qualify for food stamps. I wonder if that would have and affect on my income.
They would need to publish any kernel changes they make, but most of the features they list would not require kernel changes.
You can build closed and proprietary software on top of GPL software (for certain definitions of "on top of"), as long as any changes to the GPLed software are released as source, and LGPLed software is only linked to dynamically.

Example: If I wrote an alternative GUI system to replace X and the open window managers, I wouldn't necessarily be forced to open-source that system.

Real-world example: My employer uses Linux in some of its products, integrated with our proprietary software in license-compliant ways (and we've got a legal office that verifies that we're following the licenses for all the software that we use, to avoid legal trouble).

Not mine. Sure Bloomberg, Wikipedia & other top-tier payers' windows open fast, but I find most "not popular" sites hang and drag on opening new tabs/windows... long enough for me to open a Bloomberg tab/window to "prime the pump", so to speak. Tethering to a laptop, I can watch local library or .gov window attempting to load with no in/out network traffic for 15-20 seconds. Everytime I open Bloomberg or Google, multiple previously loading tabs/windows recommence instantaneously.
I've lead a similar life to the OP so can probably answer this one.

In the last 10 years, I've lived and worked Switzerland for 6 months, in the south of France for 9 months (contracting), in Scotland for a year, Canada for 10 months, New Zealand for 2 years, Australia on several occasions for a year or so at a time. I'm currently back in Australia now.

In between those, I've lived back in the England, my home country.

I've both been following work and picking places to live. I've done a little bit of remote work while I've been overseas but mainly working for various companies who have sponsored me for a visa to work.

You're right in that moving is stressful but more than stressful, it's a real pain. As I've tended to live somewhere for longer than 6 months, I've lived in a place long enough to get settled to some degree and as a result, acquired "stuff" - living stuff such as small items of furniture, quilts, pillows, kitchen utensils, some consumer electronics (I've got an iMac and a laptop now) and so on. Stuff you need if you're not living out of a hotel for 6 months. That has been the biggest cause of stress and pain. If you can do without stuff, and I'd suggest if you live somewhere longer than 6 months you probably can't and unintentionally you'll start acquiring it anyway, then it would be far easier. If you can live out of a suitcase and laptop bag for 6 - 12 months, then seeing the world is a much easier prospect.

I've never intentionally moved to new places, it's just how things have worked out but this time is the last time! And I've said that before but this time I mean it! (And I've said that before too).

I would certainly recommend travel and working overseas - the experiences you get on both a personal and work level are invaluable. Do I feel like I have a home when I've moved to a new place? I would say I do but an outsider might suggest otherwise when they look at my living spaces that have a tendency to look unpacked! But this time.. this time, I'm staying.

Except most of the time, it's not really your computer anymore. First, if it's proprietary software, you've licensed it, you don't own it, it's not yours, you have no say what the policy is. The company lawyers could make a case such an EOL switch is necessary just to avoid liablity once they're no longer providing security fixes.

If you want this kind of choice, the only way is free and open source software. That's the reality, and it's been that way for a very long time, just read the EULA. It isn't yours. They're not doing things "to you" by preventing it from working, they're protecting themselves. Free software could decline to work by default, with something like an about:config opt out feature. That's because free software belongs to everyone.

Next, hardware. Apple, the most among all the companies making hardware, explicitly reserves the right to modify the hardware after sale. There is in effect a hardware EULA. Your rights are fairly limited to turning it off or disposing of the phone. You don't have a right to modify it, you don't have a right to jail break it, you don't have a right to run software that Apple doesn't, through its license that you've agreed to, approve of. Not only is the software not yours, there is tacit residual hardware right reserved by Apple. I don't like it, you don't have to like it, that's how the agreement effectively works though. So if you really don't like it, then you shouldn't buy those kinds of products.

Android, it's fairly similar license wise, but there is at least in most implementations the option to enable 3rd party software installation. So you could install some ancient unpatched web browser if that's what you wanted to do. And of course Cyanogenmod and other free OS's you have a lot more control because the software is yours by virtue of you having possession of it. You have a legal right to modify it if you don't like how it behaves.

There's an unfortunate naming collision with another piece of software called "Plover" - which is stenographic typing software written in python.
Are you sure? I think there are a lot of good, but fragile ideas, even in software. And culturally, the tech world tends to destroy them.
Also, cnp's post has been edited to add that rhetorical "how is it not clear" and the reference to the Strassmann study after I already replied to it, otherwise it would have been addressed.
Is it better to have the atrocities committed upon a person by a stranger, or by their government, which is charged to protect them?

Getting arrested, tried, and imprisoned can be a brutal process all on its own. Losing years or even the entirety of the remainder of one's life to imprisonment is (for me, at least) an extremely scary thought. The sort of treatment you can expect in prison is absolutely dehumanizing. You aren't a name anymore, you are a number. You have no more freedoms, no choices, and unless you have someone on the outside financing your entertainment, you're at the mercy of a very limited library of options for which the prison has absolutely no incentive to improve upon.

I have a father and a brother both in prison right now, and it is absolutely not an experience I would want to wish on any innocent person, even at the risk of criminals going free.
Is there a way to use comments as an editorial device? A wiki-like solution, combined with a MS-Word Track-changes features, where you can make changes, and leave comments and it all shows up on the same page? Like with the health care article example, the first 90% of that seems like pure fluff (when it isn't making a false or misleading or questionable statements), essentially padding added to a high-school report to meet an arbitrary length requirement. The real meat and the potentially interesting content is then almost lost in the shuffle. A professional editor would request a complete rewrite. You should be telling us more about DPC, which is new, interesting, and potentially very valuable.
If that's true you're missing lots of opportunities to strengthen good behaviors and ideas.
Changing the clock is already a legitimate security concern. Only root should be able to make such modifications anyway, and if root is compromised it doesn't matter anyway because there are much easier ways to take down a system once someone's escalated privileges that far.
>I've picked up a 2 year Rosetta Stone subscription

I would advise anything but RS. RS is huge because they blasted their marketing everywhere. The only two I've ever seen good reviews for are Spanish and French. Having tried the Japanese version - it was beyond terrible. I do not see the Korean version being any better.

One of my favorite polyglots has some [0] resources that may be useful for you (may need to scroll down a bit to find the video).

The #1 thing you can do is practice as much as possible. Work around small vocab by describing things. Forget the word for "plane"? Say "air car" and have your friend remind you of the word. Learn how to say "How do I say [__] in Korean", in Korean. Avoid English as much as possible.

Learn connecting words. "And", "or", "because", etc. A small vocab (100~ words) can go very far if you get creative enough.

Remember that a large corporation often acts schizophrenicly, because there are so many decision making bodies that have conflicting interests within the company. (I took this comment from someone else on HN a while ago)
That is extremely flawed logic. You picked an arbitrary example to make your point, but your point requires excluding other possible uses of the Nth dollar to make any sense.

"Oh, with 15k I could buy a compact car that I wouldn't like much, but with 30k I could buy an entry level sports car that I would enjoy a lot. So the second 15k has greater utility than the first 15k."

Does this make sense? Of course not. The first 15k can buy you reliable transportation which is more valuable than the fun from a sports car. 15k can also pay for a year of housing and food in many places, which has way greater utility than the ability to drive like a jackass on the highway.

With your N dollars, you might not enjoy the popcorn without butter, but you could also buy something else to eat, or some fuel, or any number of other things that have more utility than butter on your popcorn.

Every dollar adds additional things that you could purchase. But each dollar comes with declining utility. First you get necessities, then wants, then luxuries. If you have insufficient dollars to buy popcorn with butter, you probably need to spend your money on something now useful than popcorn anyway. Popcorn is a want and you probably haven't met your necessities.
They're used for a whole host of technologies -- doping semiconductors, magnets, lens coatings, metal alloys, etc.
yeah, Ubuntu is getting out of hand. but Debian continues to be awesome. though i love Arch's documentation effort, it's just perfect.

on another note, i just helped my mom set up an iPhone. try it once with no previous accounts for anything. it's maddening! dozen of EULAs, several different accounts needed for every menial thing, dumb and dumber password restrictions, options to skip useless accounts hidden in the UI...
Yes, fantastic, over-simplied, completely unrealistic solution. It would require not only getting Netflix to give me that control, but also the devices themselves to be in on it, because the device needs to switch modes based on what network its on. The network itself is the deciding point of what bandwidth I want to use. What if I want the middleman to help with the content because Netflix and Apple and Google are nitwits on this issue, and the middle man can actually do something here? Do you think that Netflix or Apple or Google care about my demand? HAH!

There's a lot more going on here than "the pipes are filtering our data" and being blind to that means that the problem is going to unaddressed for longer.

If we allow data metering of any sort at all, then BingeOn things have to be ok. If we want to ban all provider-based data caps on wireless networks, I'm not sure exactly how that would work. And its not just data metering over wireless networks, pretty much all hosting solutions are billing based on the amount of data transferred.

>So it is not about whether you value your time or money. It is about your risk appetite. It is not that uncommon to do this kind of "lifestyle business" thingie where the primary goal is freedom and time, not necessarily money.

Why the condescending tone for those businesses?

The main motivation behind startup is making loads of money. Similar to casino players, hoping to the big payoff. There's more risk of course, but that's not the motivation -- else startup founders would be as likely to be daredevils like Evel Knievel.

Startups don't care much about the actual business aspects (actually making money from what they do) as much as getting VCs to pour money in and then exit.

OTOH, the motivation between lifestyle business is not just freedom and time, but also the product. A custom motorcycle shop or some company making a software tool like BBEdit, for example, with extremely passionate people putting tons of hours into what they do, are "lifestyle businesses". Where in a "startup proper" a founder can be just as happy to sell their to some giant company that while close their main product (acquihires and tech acquisitions).

Once you get a hold of some online transactions, you will learn how to stay safe. Its not that hard, its just common sense. And the rule applies - if it is too good to be true, it probably is.
The way the government regulates them is ridiculous, too. They do it in such a way that simply adding an O-H group here or there avoids the regulation. See, for example, the FDA action against BPA.
No Accident: Inside GM’s deadly ignition switch scandal
It's not just the downvotes. They don't help, but it's also the responses.

There is a major psychological effect from getting attacked for stating an opinion you might hold to heart. As an avid reddit/hn commenter, I feel it often.

I don't really care if someone disagrees with me on something minor, but if it's something I truly believe is important and I see people disagreeing with it left and right and downvoting anything in line with that opinion, it makes me feel weakness and despair.

Weakness: I am overwhelmed by the people disagreeing with me. I can't answer everybody. Not because I don't have the arguments but because it's pointless, won't lead anywhere and will achieve nothing but make me look insane. The "hivemind" effects makes widely-held opinions even stronger and minority opinions even weaker. Alone, I am powerless to counter that.

Despair: Let's say someone thinks gays/black/women/whatever shouldn't [have some human right]. You truly believe that's wrong. If someone says to me "I think women shouldn't have the right to vote" and is impossible to convince, I feel pretty awful about it. I feel like that person is contributing in making the world worse, and I live in that world.

Now what if that's not about some minority-held opinion, but about something far more widespear? What if it's, for example, similarly insensitive and disgusting comments about islam/muslims? I don't just feel awful being around that person, I feel crushed by the amount of people who would agree with it. I'm quite afraid of what happens when such opinion is widely held. I feel like I'm looking at a lifetime of awful and I feel crushed by it.

My fiancée is a muslim. This is empathy kicking in. Not everything affects me that way, but I'm far less likely to comment on something I don't hold to heart.

But yes, I do enjoy HN because the hivemind effect is far more limited. The hidden downvotes and sorting algorithms are a million times better than Reddit's. It's not ideal, but it's still an excellent place to have discussion and a "good enough" place to have debates.
I have no idea if there is a way to use comments as an editorial device.

Why do you think 90% seems like fluff? Based on comments on Metafilter where all I did was talk about DPC, I felt the background info was necessary.

But I do hope to write a more professional version and I am in talks with a publication that may take it. So I am keenly interested in feedback.

Thanks!
Ask HN: Name of multi-programming-style programming book
What was the name of the book written by a woman where a problem was solved in multiple programming styles? TIA
I’d argue it makes the employer a shitty person, first and foremost. The customer is still an impolite person, but in second place.

There are countries where employees don’t have to rely on donations to be able to pay their bills, showing that it doesn’t have to be this way.
What is the definition of an "instigative hobby"?
I agree wholeheartedly. From an ISP perspective its dual stack. The IPv4 and IPv6 networks are separate but serve the same customers, basically they should be overlapping to all endpoints.
How does that relate to the conversation? Who are you using for internet, and what type of weird setup is it where they deliver packets after "priming the pump"? That is not a throttling scheme, nor anything like BingeOn.
Aside from just size though the major problem is the gender disparity of ~80% women in most of the studies. I didn't see mention of ethnicity but I imagine it's overwhelmingly white.
Hmm. Im clearly not an ASIC guy so I appreciate the tip on this. News to me. Ill try to look into it.

Any link you have where people mention these and any other issues?
He picked the wrong target. It was fun when he was poking AT&T and Verizon who deserved it. But EFF? That's going to backfire. And especially since T-Mobile is indeed violating Net Neutrality.
Could this mean... no more dioramas in math class?
I'd say that's what Bitnami already is: an app store for servers. https://bitnami.com/

I've never actually used it, though, since Debian packages work fine for me.
I like the idea. If developing android app using multiple programming languages is also capable in this OS, it would be more exciting.
There is no correct race, you just need to do your homework. Plenty of white people write about race. You just have to have a sound argument, based in actual study of race. If you're just going to regurgitate ancient stereotypes then yeah, people will criticize you. If you are unable to have a conversation about your views with a person of another race you probably haven't done enough homework yet.

If you don't want to take the time to do that, that's fine. But don't churn. And don't blame other people.

I'm a white male and I feel totally confident expressing my opinions on race and gender, including opinions that go contrary to mainstream feminist and anti-racist positions. You might be surprised to learn that women and people of color are not unified in their beliefs about race and sex.

But that's only because I've taken the time to listen very carefully to criticism, to listen particularly carefully and gently when someone is telling me something that seems wrong, and do my own research. It's not just a matter of watching the world go by and having an opinion.
Well, yeah, I think I understand what you propose ... but I don't really see the point of it. I mean, where is even any significant difference to IPv6?

Yeah, you could use the IPv4 routing infrastructure for transport of this new protocol. That's also known as tunneling. You can do that with IPv6. Even with automatic assignment of addresses based on IPv4 addresses you already have, that's called 6to4. And while that was a nice idea for a transition mechanism (and in the form of 6rd still usefully employed by some ISPs), it's not really that useful in the long term, as backbone routers have been IPv6 capable for a long time, simply due to upgrades for higher bandwidths. To take a random example: Peak bandwidth at AMS-IX in 2002 was 12 Gbit/s. Now, it's 4.2 Tbit/s. And they didn't do that by multiplying the number of routers by 350.

Your analogy to HTTP and TLS also doesn't really hold up: Both are protocols that are only implemented at the edge of the network and pretty much only in software that is easy to update, while your suggested extension would have to be implemented from the boundary of the publicly routable IPv4 network outward, which in particular includes hundreds of millions of home routers where even updates to fix security vulnerabilities tend to be difficult to come by.

Also, it's not actually true that the v4 routing infrastructure wouldn't need to know the difference between your server and your router. What if you send a packet to an address that has no route? The router that determines that there is no route sends an ICMP network unreachable to the source address of your packet. How would your translation gateway know which inside address to forward it to? Or how about a fragmentation needed message? Should we break PMTUD for good?
Hmm,

It seems contradictory to first note problems in defining insanity and then make a claim of vast "verbal intelligence", a quality a bit further out on the fringes of psychology definition.
i would have continued to be a customer of they said "it's a technology limitation, but the benefits are great and we plan to work on improving the side effects" (even if i know for sure the last part was a lie).

> may be tens of thousands of years - absolutely not enough to have overlaps between tech civilizations to listen/watch radio/TV of each other

From what we know, that is a reasonable assumption.

> Space expansion is different machinery and not subject to "c" limit (that limit is only valid against static space)

The expansion of the universe and rapidly-increasing distance to far galaxies is not a good example, but yes, the "limit" of c is only applicable to static space. And you are right in the sense that the Hubble flow is an example of objects changing their relative positions without momentum being the primary component.

As I like to frame it: in day-to-day life we are used to define "travel" as accelerating matter to a certain velocity until we reach a destination point. However, acceleration is not the goal of travel: being at the destination point itself is the goal. For example, travel through an artificially shortened corridor of spacetime would still be a valid form of FTL even though acceleration itself never reached relativistically relevant levels.
