Five Ways to Reduce Failure Risks as a Startup
Dry heat or not, it's still way too hot! I grew up in the desert and have absolutely no desire to ever live in one again.
I heard that you should be embarrassed by the first version of your product. Well, today I'm delighted to announce that I'm positively humiliated by the first version of this free tool that I made for myself.

It's a super-simple e-signing application for PDFs that works over email. Email it a PDF and it'll email you back a link to edit it. Or, if you're sending someone a PDF, cc: it (free@signandreturn.com) and it'll take care of the rest.

It's an experiment in how much UI I can remove from the process of getting a document signed.

Ideas for improvements? Let me hear them! Maybe with your help I can unembarrass myself.

I don't really see what's different. Both github and gerrit have voting and you're still creating a pull request like in github. The only difference is that this pull request is restricted to a single commit.

Not very flexible, I see a lot of churn of invalid pull requests with this design if they aren't allowed to grow into complete features..
I was asking because I have a notification today in one of my chats saying that e2ee was enabled. I didn't see the same notification in any group chats. Outside of that notification, it's not clear to me when things are encrypted.

* Uber drivers often have no idea how to get around. In my city, they're often suburbanites who have come in to drive the drinking crowd to three or four entertainment strips. Venture outside of that and they don't even know where they are.

* The worst experiences I've ever had being driven by anyone in any context have been in Uber. My theory is that because people are in their own personal cars, they feel justified driving just like they do when they're alone. Whatever the cause, I have had some truly dangerous drivers.

* I don't necessarily need or desire a complete detailed history of every ride I've ever taken. There are huge potential privacy concerns.

NodeJS is great because it's just JavaScript, and you can use JavaScript everywhere.

I'm saying this as someone who's been doing web development since the 1990s and have used at least a dozen of the most popular frameworks over the years.

Other than NodeJS consider Rails, as it is chock full of best practices in terms of security, testing and code organization.

IMO tools like Django or anything from the Java world lag far behind in terms of features and tend to carry too much baggage from their past.

Others will disagree with some of this, which is fine, but YMMV.
Yes.

At $DayJob we have a similar process [e.g. Accept any card that passes the checksum, hand out rejections on a 24 hour delay after we've handled our fraud signals and processed the charge with the gateway]

The credit card processors aren't particularly interested in handling this for you and you [the merchant] pay the price if you gave the processor stolen card numbers.

Services like these:

I see your concern, but I think the issue they're trying to prevent is authorities coming with a court order wanting to decrypt messages after the fact.

Only 30% of electrical generation in the US is coal (this number decreases yearly). All new generators coming online this year are solar, wind or natural gas.

Yes, natural gas still emits CO2 compared to a coal fired power plant. But, those natural gas emissions are much cleaner, and those combined cycle plants can be throttled much faster on demand from the ISO authority, which helps solar and wind generation.

Electric cars get cleaner every year because of this. Gas cars will always burn gas their entire life.

That's not necessarily true. I haven't spent much time analyzing it yet, but your assertion seems seems. Please correct me if I'm mistaken, but can't you verify end-to-end encryption without viewing the source of the program?

They're using the Signal protocol, which has been well-vetted.

What I've seen so far in Wireshark looks good, but I am not a crypto expert. I'm in the process of reading and trying to understand the whitepaper[0] now.

Hey there, HN!

A few months ago, I threw together a simple tool to control the playback speed of HTML5 video on sites that don't have a speed setting like Youtube.

It has turned out to be pretty useful for me, and I use it constantly to quickly consume content on sites all over the web. It even works on Netflix, if you're interested in watching movies in a fraction of the time!

I figured others might find it useful too, so I cleaned it up, made a little website, and put it out there. I'd love to hear any feedback y'all have!
Well, technically not. A roughly 50/50 turnout resulted in one party controlling the general assembly around census/redistricting time. You cannot make an honest case that it wasn't an aggressive redistricting based on a thin majority, and the governor wouldn't have had to veto anything if this bill didn't make it out of the house (which if would not have, in the pre-redistricting NCGA).

The governor is at high risk to lose his reelection to the state AG later this year because of this and his perception of being in the pocket of his former employer (Duke Energy) because of his behavior in several high profile coal fly ash pond industrial accidents. He positioned himself as a social moderate and business friendly, and he has spent all his capital and then some on this.

edit: Not sure how this comes off as whining. I am giving an honest account of this bill/the NC political background as I can. You're obviously right, the voters own this in the end.
Consider the bias of people making such statements. Society hasn't actually moved to that point, but many anti-police advocates want you to believe it has. In actual reality, most encounters with the police don't result in arbitrary killings.
The reliability reports seem to stem from them being the first year or two that the model s was being produced. There were a handful of big issues (the motor winding issue being the main one I can think of) and a handful of smaller ones, but at this point they seem to have worked out most of the kinks.

Time will tell tell if they have long term reliability.
> Leaf battery pack at $270/KWh in 2014.

Tesla is expected to have $200/KWh batteries once the Gigactory starts making batteries. Bolt is already said to use $145/KWh batteries, but I figure that's mainly because they're using cheaper batteries with much shorter life (kind of how Tesla's 10KWh PowerWall was cheaper than its 7KWh PowerWall).
Weird and cool .. how much do they cost though?

> They didn't shut down the exit node.

Although my view won't be popular, running an exit mode and having to deal with this is not a smart thing to do. What is the upside vs. having to deal with this type of raid and perhaps police who are not so accommodating at some point? Why draw attention to yourself in this way? Also assumes that some rogue cop won't plant something on your device if it does get hauled away. Seems dangerous the way I see it.
The Sales Process
Perhaps a bit tangential - but when things like this say 'diet soda has not been shown as an effective means of weight control' it annoys me. Not because I don't think there are serious questions are diet soda, but because the mischaracterized what diet soda is - not a weight control product but rather a zero calorie drink.

Especially when they go on to talk about shell lobbying companies with dubious names, you would think they would avoid imitating...
A common case where this doesn't work well is embedded code. You'll frequently have many different releases of your code "in production" at the same time.

I started an embedded project a while back using the gitflow style I was used to, but eventually found the meaning of "master" to be not well defined, once we had different release versions and variations. We eventually killed master, and renamed "develop" to "master", and that particular project makes much more sense now.
A Cello Sonata for Offshore Companies
So, let me understand: do you think that a person running a lunch counter should be able to refuse to do business with someone because of, let's say, their skin color?
You're right, of course, but this sentiment amounts to little more than stomping your feet and wishing the world were different.

As long as there is high demand, you can either build more or expect higher prices and more sprawl. I get that people don't like those choices, but that's what's on the table.
Not the person you replied to, but I personally avoided it for a long time by avoiding the comments on [political/news/gender]-focused forums and subreddits. It isn't exactly a mainstream term.
In general, girls are not really encouraged to build things as part of their play. Toys marketed towards boys are definitely more oriented towards building, such as legos, model kits, and tinker toys. Adults are also less likely to build things with girls and although households have shifted away from imposing traditional gender roles on their children, toys are slow to reflect the change.
Is there no service that does CC processing and fraud detection already?

I would think it does not make sense for every ecommerce merchant out there to build their own solution.

Bemmu, you say you use PayPal - isn't PayPal also accepting Credit Cards? Don't they do the fraud detection in this case? I would expect them to have a huge advantage. You only see the IPs and other metadata from a few customers. They see millions and should be able to do way better fraud protection.

We exclusively use PayPal as they kindly cover all of our transaction fees. However, we still experience fraud which creates work for accounting and Customer Service.

A rules-based approach has helped, but we've also been playing around with SiftScience[1] and I've seen it do wonders for some sites, so we'll likely be implementing it. The key problem is keeping the false positive rate down, as we don't want to inadvertently block our legitimate users.

If that's the case, then Walmart could double their profit now by raising prices. I doubt this.

If you assume revenue goes up without an increase in costs, then yes, but there's little reason to assume that. Walmart carries millions of products, and to assume they can raise the price and not lose sales is wrong.

> But your counterpoint conveniently side steps on just how the government produces the $7500 in your example. Raising taxes?

I had in mind using taxes. I didn't discuss a shift in policy which requires a change in revenue, I was describing the end result. Government raises funds and spends it.

T-bonds are just spending future tax money.

It is interesting how my understanding of innovator's dilemma perfectly explains Tesla.

- there is market for luxury cars

- luxury cars market was full of expensive but uninteresting, crapy and low quality cars.

- Tesla make cool car for same price as other luxury cars but it was way cooler. It worked well.

- Tesla now goes to conquer low end of the market

So it is typical market disruption: make something better than others for lower price.

NOTE: People say Tesla Model S is expensive but it is actually less expensive that Mercedes CLS which is has 2 stars reliability rating by JD Power.
We need more than the MA law. We need to have the law change to permit completely replacing engine control systems while maintaining a street legal car. There are open ECU's available which you can retrofit into any car, but they're illegal for street use because of the way emissions laws are structured.

The US law is very proscriptive - you musth have the factory ECU with the factory tune with the factory catalyst, etc. Instead, we need results based laws for this stuff, something like a limit on engine emissions on a particular duty cycle, and leave it to the aftermarket companies to figure that out.

Right now, most engine mods you do are not technically legal, especially in CA and the handful of other states which have adopted its emissions laws, so you try to hide what you've done and not get caught, even though you have perfectly clean emissions. Unfortunately, lots of people turn their cars into gross polluters because they like the loudness of straight pipes or want the extra few HP from an open exhaust, and in an attempt to stop these, the laws are making it more difficult for the rest of us.
> It's necessary to have a less-stable, separate, develop branch where features, bugfixes, etc, that were developed off on their own sandboxed branches can be merged and integrated as part of a development phase.

I don't think it's _necessary_ by any means. e.g. We auto-deploy the HEAD of master, assuming tests pass and don't use any special integration branch. If you have some set of features that need to ship together, that is just a feature branch like all others. Multiple people can work on a feature branch and test their integrations there.

> Even if it is stable, it could not be production-ready for the simple reason that it so far only contains features X and Y, and the next release cannot go out without Z there too, where Z is not merged yet.

I think largely your assumptions are based on a slow moving release cycle, not everyone operates that way. We regularly release multiple versions a day in most of our repos.
> Congratulations, you're now on an FBI watch list.
