"Count me in as someone who, given the support of basic income, can and will live frugally and give my working self 100% towards ethical objectives, as I understand them."

Amen, brother/sister, amen. Exactly how I feel. Also I see you are empathetic towards animals. I have adopted animal welfare and animal rights as my single biggest ethical objective. After working for about 20 years on writing software for domains like transportation, telecommunications, social media, I have decided enough is enough and am going to work towards doing some work (mostly software-related) in the animal welfare area this year and increase it every year. I am not saying anyone who works in the other fields are bad, since people working on different things is what makes the world work. I just feel that I should separate work that pays the bills (Wb) and work that is meaningful (Wm) to me. And the goal is to minimize Wb and maximize Wm in the 24 hrs available. With basic income, Wb would be zero, so that would be ideal.
Everything About Everything: David Foster Wallace’s ‘Infinite Jest’ at 20
Thing is, I use Xchat at work, on my Phone a native Sailfish OS IRC client, om my Android AndChat, on my iMac Textual and on my laptop a different instance of Xchat. And in between those clients are offline so they can't get continuous logs which they could save for offline search.

But I would love to learn how to do that, for example with ZNC which is online all the time.
To you and the others curious about why the reply button doesn't show up, there is a buffer period after a reply appears before you can reply to it, to mitigate flame wars and such. It's usually a few minutes.

Always looking for new problems to learn and more importantly, a great team to work with. Very interested in data science, but also love working with customers and trying to solve their needs.
To me as a US English speaker this meant public holidays, since we normally call the other type of holiday "vacation". He probably gets at least 10-15 of those as well.
There are still plenty of sites that are unusable on a mobile phone, so that's one consideration.
But do any of those features feel like they couldn't be built into a good product built around IRC?
C is an abstraction. Assembly is an abstraction.
Even physical transistors are abstractions. You can go down the ladder as deep as you wish, there is no bottom. (Sure, you can delude yourself you that X is the fundamental level of Y... as long as you define Y properly.)

In this grand scheme of things, C is not better than Python. I don't mean the we should avoid going deeper. I mean that each level of abstraction has its own benefits.

BTW: How many of you started learning natural numbers not from counting fruits/blocks/candies, but from the ZF set theory axioms and the von Neumann construction?
No worries... I'm not sure exactly why the reply button is hidden when this "trick" allows you to reply regardless. HN mods might be able to shed more light on this.
We plan our vacations in Trello! Personally I think that's less hardcore than using Slack for family group chat.
> All these "evolutionary arguments" -- this isn't real science. It's just a bunch of "just so" stories that are tested in some of the flimsiest ways

That's pretty much the process of generating a scientific hypothesis, so that description itself isn't the not-science part. The not-science part is presenting such stories as conclusions and leaving them set.

> For the most part, the scrutiny of government auditors ensure that you actually can't work more than 40 hours in a single week.

Have yet to encounter a contracting environment where is is true. In fact, I was explicitly told that since I was salaried I was expected to put in whatever work it took to make deadlines, despite only putting 40 hours down on my timecard. Considering the facility I worked in had a DCAA office embedded in it I find it hard to believe the government did not know this was going on.

Both of those platforms have fairly low barriers to exit.

Moving off of github is a simple clone. Google Groups is archived, and there are many other alternatives.

Unless you are paying for it, Slack message history vanishes.
Uhhh does that mean we just found a bug?
When you, as a free software project maintainer, rely on proprietary software for your infrastructure, you send a bad message of "I expect my free software to be good enough for you, but your free software is not good enough for me."

A lot of the features you mention are better served by email, and I am completely opposed to editing messages after they are sent (chat is append only!) There are IRC bots for ticketing/build integration, and they were around long before anyone used Slack!

But ultimately, even if Slack has more convenient features, we cannot rightly use it because it doesn't respect our freedom. Centralized network services are increasingly removing our control over how we communicate, and we must reject them for our free software projects. The ethical replacements (not alternatives, because Slack cannot be considered as an option) aren't going to get better if people aren't using them!
Thanks for sharing your experience and for this advice.
Did you talk to any of the alumni before applying or entering the program?
I think founders should not be shy in performing the same background checks that accelerators perform on them.
>2) I liken a good manager to an old school point guard in basketball or a good coach. Your job isn't to score but to setup your teammates for success and create a culture of excellence they can thrive in on your team.

The problem being that this is going to sideline the manager. He's not going to let himself become chopped liver while you become a star; ideally there wouldn't be a problem with the people doing the actual building getting the credit, but the system is organized so that that starpower needs to be redirected onto the manager's own career. This causes a real problem with "get out of the way" management styles.

Maybe it'd be wiser to pay managers a percentage of revenue. That way, the politics matter much less than making a successful product that sells well.

Minor complaint: clicking "Enterprise" or "Education" in the footer opens up a new mail message. That's not what I wanted nor what I expected.
Thanks for the heads up. I'm going to try this out. I have a small team of developers right now and Slack hasn't been working out as well as we had hoped.

I also noticed a lot of the comments recommended Mattermost as well.
I watched Barry Lyndon with my dad and we both found it hilarious! I found myself rather shocked that people generally don't consider it to be a comedy. It follows the rule that all it takes to transform a tragedy into a comedy is the addition of a fool, in this case the main character.

The photography also happens to be awe-inspiring, though many people don't appreciate it because they're not used to looking at scenes filmed in natural light.
The barrier is likely the process through which PCT was mandated.

We’ve got awesome robots, a disruptive price point and we're growing very rapidly. Simply put, we’ve built something that people want.
>>> pre-buying basically locks in the price and helps prevent guilty feelings for not buying the top of the line casket.

It's also a great time for old people to commit their families to expensive and unnecessarily elaborate funerals. I know of one woman who was sold a "storage" plan because she wanted her funeral to happen "in the summer". It took a lawsuit to void that illegal contract. These deals also cause difficulties when people die while travelling. Rather than cremating them locally and transporting ashes, I've seen ridiculous clauses for the funeral home to send people to collect and return the body. Whenever a business targets old people, assume shady dealing.

Free advice: Never make a funeral home a beneficiary to a will. Pre-buy only for fixed costs. Do not commit to anything without an absolute fixed price. Never give a funeral home any access to your accounts no matter how often they claim doing so will make things "simpler" after your death. And talk to your kids about the finances. Funerals are not fun. Fancy flowers cannot change that. Nobody who cares will remember them.
well you've found the right guy to ask about that because the author is a professor of Computational Complexity Theory.
What differentiates this from AWS or other known providers and why should companies choose to trust a new service over the incumbents?
They might be trying to have unique headlines so it’s easier to trace companies that directly copy content.
I agree with you, but there are two very different angles on this.

On one hand, there are programmers complaining that they can't get exactly the job they want at what they feel is good pay. Your answer to these complaints is fair enough - lots of people have it tough. Nobody is entitled to a job on their own terms. You choose your own life.

The other angle is the employer who complains about the "shortage" of software developers out there who have top skills and are ready and willing to work for the salary the employer feels is fair in a big, loud, open office with little autonomy or job security. This second, employer-based sense of entitlement is no less appalling in my opinion.

I'm going to guess we disagree on the stress level involved in being a programmer, where you are almost always pressured to commit to deadlines on things you don't yet understand, where people blame you for schedule slips, where you are tempted to compromise to meet deadlines but know that you are cutting corners that may lead to real risk, where you can make errors that destroy data and/or prevent thousands of people from getting work done, where you may severely compromise secure data, and so forth.. in short, I do think it is a job that people can reasonably find very stressful. I think that people overstate the "cushiness" of programming and IT jobs. These jobs can really induce and trigger anxiety, it doesn't take an entitled whiner to feel that way, at all.

Say what you will about programmers, it's the employers (at least here in the States) whose sense of entitlement about who they should be able to hire at "market rate" is so strong they will lobby congress rather that pay more or find ways to make the job less stressful.
I am using ZNC but it's not obvious how to make it to log everything and make it searchable.

They also got a lot of their traffic data by sniffing packets at shoddy colos around the world. Sketchy indeed.
Then those people can go be in meetings all they want. Let the rest of us get our work done. I guarantee that they'll have no qualms about leaving at 6, but if we do without getting stuff done cause we spent all afternoon in a pointless meeting, they'll start yelling, and schedule another all afternoon meeting to discuss why we're still behind.
Still, someone in junior high can do the math to figure out the solution given speed and location of each train. My guess is that no one knows the location or the speed of the train because we don't want to spend the money. Of course, it'll be extremely expensive to solve this because of how Amtrak is managed.
Privacy?
I actually think that's rather magnificent. Mr Whiny can't have his toy anymore. Yeah it's bad PR, probably, but I can't be the only one who thinks these rude blog posts directed at well-known strangers saying variations of 'dear so-and-so you should be ashamed of yourself' are a bit tasteless, crass, and low class.

I mean, the VC wrote his original post as a direct personal attack and then distributed it in public on a widely-read platform. That's pretty nuclear. In ascending order of severity he could have:

- Contacted Tesla directly

- Written to Elon Musk directly, privately

- Written a blog post about his crappy experience at the event

- Tweeted Elon with a link to his blog post

All of which might have made him feel better about wasting his evening and maybe got him some compensation (jumping a few places in the waitlist, or something) while not being actually offensive.

> The products, ranging from “toasters to bedsheets, light bulbs, cameras, toothbrushes, door locks, cars, watches and other wearables,” will give the government increasing opportunities to track suspects and in many cases reconstruct communications and meetings.

Welcome to "The Internet of Things." Remember that the spooky, evil Government is just grabbing the table scraps left by "disruptive, value-unlocking innovators."
The razor also has a corollary in Clark's law, which states that "any sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice".
Trello is great for vacation planning - have used it for this purpose!
Did you mean going over to another site? Because major search engines like google, yahoo and bing have their own app for major mobile OSes. Unless you want to render other sites within your app, that's a whole different story. I am under the impression they want to incorporate Yahoo News Digest (pretty much an update from the expensive Summly acquisition) into the search experience.
Why was this launched before these "Powerful and seamless APIs"?
I think the original poster just means that, compared to other industries, the odds of success starting a software company (especially a bootstrapped business or consulting business) is a lot higher than other industries. I'd take software odds over the odds of starting a restaurant that succeeds any day.
These are all shitty solutions for a problem that shouldn't exist.
> It would be great if we had an open source FTDI driver

We do have an open source FTDI driver, and it works perfectly with both the real thing and with clones.
There's a difference between an open protocol and an open client. The latter... doesn't matter quite so much. The former is pretty important.
Yes, thats right.
Again, IRC != slack, they're not the same type of thing. IRC is a protocol, slack is a product built upon a (proprietary?) protocol that slack built to do pretty much the same thing IRC does (with arguably more features built in).

Also, no one is arguing whether people like slack more than IRC -- the point I'm trying to get across is that IRC is capable, but only lacks the development of a client, and forging of standards that would allow features that slack has.

All the bot stuff is copyable pretty much 1:1, the great design, and built in features of slack require a much better IRC client to be built. But that's the only thing standing in the way.

Taking the walled garden over developing an open source solution is widely accepted in the world at large, but it should not be the defacto solution for the FOSS community.
Either the user controls the program or the program controls the user. Those of us who don't want proprietary lock-in generally do it for one, some, or all of the four basic freedoms as defined by RMS:

1. Freedom the run the program, for any purpose.
2. Freedom to study and change the program (source code required)
3. Freedom to redistribute copies.
4. Free to redistribute your modifications. (source code required)

For the kind of people who frequent hacker news, I would expect you to be familiar with these very basic principles of software ideology. If you disagree with them, that's fine, but let's not pretend that proprietary is anywhere close to FOSS in the realm of freedom. Sometimes you must sacrifice functionality and usability to use FOSS, and that's a choice that only you can make, but what I don't want is you making that choice for me because you don't understand the basic ideas of software freedom.

On the subject of Slack, I can give you a quick example of this. Let's say you want a good chat app but it needs to be secure, and you don't want to trust another company (slack). So obviously you want to self-host internally right? Oh, sorry, no source code, no self hosted version, too bad, fuck off and wait until slack releases a self-hosted version. Oh, and if they do, and you want to implement your own internal feature X, too bad, fuck off, you get what you are given.

Very disappointed in the level of understanding of these things on hn lately.
Elop'd. Think Google would buy them for the front page visitors, news, and sports assets?
Depends on the severence package. 6 months of salary when it doesn't take 6 months to find a new job isn't a bad deal.
Wow! This seems related to [self-discrepancy theory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-discrepancy_theory), which posits that the gap between the "ideal self" and the "actual self" creates inner conflict.
What channel?
I never said it was necessary. I am mainly pointing out that there are similarities in the mental model of the original comment and the virtual dom. Of course there are many ways to get results.

The virtual dom seems quite nice since it avoids the text parsing stage that a traditional template language might imply. regardless, you kind of make my point. A system like mustache is not all that different from how input and output are considered, regardless of whether it's on the client or server. Same with a virtual dom, which runs quite fine on the server side when generating HTML for response content.
Somehow, I imagine the “take control” alarm sounding just like the red alert klaxon from Star Trek TOS.
Far more than 1% of sites use Google Analytics, or similar services. I don't get why this wasn't mandated as a native browser notification, or something else that is opt-out.

The worst part is that I block tracking scripts and therefore also cookie notifications, and I still got a blank page. These blocks totally broke the website for me.
Not quite Hanlon or Occam, but here's a razor:

"Never attribute to innovation that which is adequately-explained by penny-pinching."
> It's quite interesting that in the latter case some company prefers to fire everyone and hire back some of them. I have seen that before.

I wonder why they'd do it, instead of an internal transfer. Any idea why?

Compared to the energy you will use throughout your life, the energy used for a cremation is trivial (about a 5,000 mile drive).

The alternative (burial) impacts the environment considerably as well. There is plenty of land devoted to cemeteries. Trees or metal are used (once) for the casket. In many places, you also need a concrete vault, which would add to the impact.
