I've spent a couple of years in the legal tech industry and this looks like a cool solution, in a lucrative market that are willing to spend A LOT of money on IT solutions but I'd keep in mind

- Your customers will be running a centralised practice management platform (basically a specialised CRM), you'll need to integrate with it; this isn't easy. In fact it's really hard.

- Most of the time, the fee-earner/practitioner won't do any of their own data input, they'll have their PA do it for them, consider this when you're building a backend.

- They live and die by their Outlook calendars and contacts. You'll need to integrate with that; this is easier.

- You'll have questions about how you're storing and transmitting data and what jurisdiction its being hosted in. Some of these questions will seem naive and obvious, but legal tech is a _paranoid_ market.

- This is also a CONSERVATIVE market, they fear change, they don't like change. This is a constant uphill battle.

- The flip side is that 90% of the software in this market is 5-10 years old and "cloud" solutions are novel and strange to them (cf fear about data storage)

- Focus on mobile. Ignore desktop. Seriously.

- Don't discount this only being applicable for lawyers, any professional service industry (financial planners etc) will benefit from this.

- You're right compliance, audit trails, history is EVERYTHING. Pitch it as a record keeping solution for the firm, not a productivity tool for the practitioner.

- Bake in export. Make the data as easy to get out and easy to get in.
Well for starters I'd rather have a structured log entry with the ability of context instead of a single line having to grep for information. With context in the logs it allows easier indexing and searching, I can add more data to the log entry knowing I'm not making it hard to grep but easier.

I observed the same thing in Germany: pretty much all delivery services deliver packages the day after they receive the package, so that for Amazon to achieve 2-day delivery they need to deliberately wait a day before they start packaging a non-prime order. Maybe not so customer-obsessed after all.

Market pricing can't be NP-hard -- if it was, that would mean there was a perfect answer, we just might not have to computing power to calculate it.

I solve huge NP-hard problems every day, I've never seen any suggestion there is a useful way to solve marking pricing.
Simple json:api library for java and android
Thanks for the hacking file, it is a good read for people like myself who are interested in text editor implementations. If time permits I will try delve a bit into the joe code base.

As for the syntax highlighting in vis, yes it currently is stateless and only considers a fixed range of text prior to the start of the window. Having no state at all simplifies some things and allows vis to highlight even extremely large files at the expense of the occasional glitch. In practice it seems to work reasonably well.

This approach also requires that the highlighting is fast, because nothing is cached, it is completely redone after every cursor motion. I'm quite happy with LPeg so far, it is convenient to express grammars in a high level language like Lua. It also supports nested grammars nicely, but due to the completely stateless approach taken by vis this is currently not fully exploited. As an added bonus there were already ~100 lexers (of admittedly varying quality) available for use.
I should mention the reason I haven't made an 'Apply HN' post is the money available ($20k) wouldn't be enough for me to cover my expenses and quit my job.
That's kind of a ridiculous comparison. Those men didn't fight on the beaches because Churchill made a nice speech, they did it because they could see very clearly what the approaching Nazi army would do if they weren't stopped. Nice speeches from inspiring leaders helped - a bit - but frankly I think things would have worked out the same anyway. We tend to look at Churchill with rose tinted glasses because the Allies won the war, but he got booted out pretty quickly once the war was over for being, essentially, a bad prime minister.

With Genymotion you can run multiple emulators on a single machine. The Intel tools you mention (Intel HAXM for fast virtualisation) seems to work only for a single instance. The second instance does not benefit from fast virtualisation and is painfully slow.

I am sorry for you being so downvoted, since your comment is legitimate. Indeed, Erlang is a niche language.

No, the US has not kept pace with the rest of the world with regards to setting reasonable tax rates and how profits made it other markets are treated. That is why companies move to incorporate elsewhere and laws be damned many will do so.

The US is in danger because other economies are growing in s size and it won't be long before being based elsewhere just makes sense not only because of taxation but because of local sales.

Instead we have vindictive politicians who wonder why they are reviled many times over. Here's a hint, what they are willing to do to punish a company is a clear indication they respect nothing and no one and will and do use the law to punish those they don't like

Robin has ended
I've just spent almost three weeks in hospital.

I went in for routine elective surgery and a two night stay. I ended up in for around three weeks after post-operation infection. Fortunately, it wasn't MRSA and easily controlled with antibiotics (some of which I had a bad reaction to.... good times). At home now, but still having the dressings changed on open wounds.

This idea gets a big up vote from me. Reducing the risk of infection could have had a massive positive impact on my life over the last month.
I cancelled my Prime subscription for the same reason. I've been experimenting with using eBay the same way I used Amazon (mainly for computer-related purchases—we never got into the habit of using it for many household goods).

So far, I've found eBay to be in many ways better than Amazon was. Amazon has gotten to the point where you're often buying from some unknown vendor anyways, so in many ways it's already similar to eBay. However, eBay was built from the start to be a simple middleman, so I find its reputation system and expectations for sellers and buyers to be superior in many ways. Of course, I still have to be careful when evaluating sellers, but if I stick to the high-volume 99.5%+-positive sellers, there's rarely an issue.

I mainly only do this for small purchases—rechargeable batteries, game system controllers, cables, etc. For larger items, I try to find a niche vendor that offers more specialized customer service—ideally a local brick-and-mortar, but often an online seller.
Depends on what you mean by 'ideally'. That approch would not be ideal in terms of resources and time wasted. It would also not be ideal in terms of how well such a system would work.

One could also go one step further and require everybody to host a tor hidden service.

I think federation with advanced metadata hidding would be great and that should be the goal, but the idea that everybody runs a server would not be part of my goal.
In my opinion, I don't think size is the big selling point for React. It's the simplicity and clarity of the programming model that it enables. For me, being able to write most of my code functionally (pure functions, immutable data) is a big win.

That said, I've been tinkering with this project on the side:

https://github.com/developit/preact

It's a 3-4K React-ish library. Pretty impressed with it so far, but it does lack the dev tools, event normalization, etc.
Start by voting. Read those tedious propositions and those small offices, and vote on every one of them. Supervisor Julie Christensen was pushed out by anti-housing Aaron Peskin with the approval of 12% of District 3’s residents. And don’t take the shortcut of just voting whichever way your Democrat or Republican voters guide tells you to vote.

Join, or at least follow, a political action group like SFBARF[0]. And when they mention some special committee, then don’t just go to a couple meetings and otherwise leave it alone. You’re supposed to be part of the community. Actually learn from and provide your own input to that community.

If you have some free time, then find what else the SF Planning Department has been doing[1], and attend their public hearings.

There's a lot of cases available for public defender and the standard bill rate ranges from $50-$100/hour. That easily covers a $10/case fee[1]. Assuming this will save the attorney 6-12 minutes of total time (over the life of the case) it's a net win for them.

[1]: I'm making up the $10 number. No clue what pricing they'll be doing.
Why You Should Use Goto
Because Erlang is a dynamically typed language, in your example, dividing a list of numerators can give you any type back. It could be a list of numbers, integers, floats, tuples, strings. It might not even be a list at all. This is just something you deal with in dynamically typed languages. You're making a case for statically typed languages, which is fine. But that's not Erlang (or Python, or Ruby etc. etc.).

Erlang doesn't have contracts, but it has pattern matching. You can write a function in Erlang that is guaranteed to return only a list of integers let's say, by either converting them, or not accepting lists of floats in later part of your code. On top of this, you have Dialyzer which can warn you when your code doesn't do this (if you typed your functions correctly).
But what is the point of taxing income? After all, they have to spend that money sooner or later to buy things. So instead just have a sales tax!

Economists agree that a VAT is, indeed, the most efficient form of taxation (besides pigouvian taxes and maybe a land value tax).

The reason we don't do that is that a sales tax obviously hits people in proportion to the benefits they receive from society rather than in proportion to the value they create. If you tax corporations you can hide this fact from voters. "Don't blame we the politicians, blame the evil corporations for raising prices!"

every one is different. I have found a good basic starting point (for me) would be .5g protein per pound of body weight and then lower it based on how you feel. So for a 240lb person who does not lift 'for gains', maybe goes to the gym twice a week, ballpark of 120g (+/- 20%) a day would be fine, it just depends on how you feel.

Keto macros are supposed to (generally) be:

80% calories from fat (I try to get 200g/day)

15% calories from protein (I try to keep mine around 120g/day)

5% calories from carbs (keep it under net 20g/day)

This is pretty difficult to do. I usually end up somewhere around 70-75% fat, 7%ish carbs, 20%ish protein. But at least I can eat bacon wrapped avocados without guilt... i'm constantly adjusting to get my macros. I just added MCT oil to the daily diet.

I was (am?) obese when I started this and I've dropped a considerable amount of weight (30+lbs), and my blood sugar has dropped and stabilized. I'm not keto-adapted yet, though.

> teaching people about gpg

You're moving the goalposts. Teaching people that their chat address has a @hostname component just like their email is easy.

(and gpg just needs a nice GUI front-end that makes the common cases trivial)

> [it's hard]

Yes it is. What you don't seem to understand is that this isn't a reason to create yet another centralized solution that promises more than it can deliver. So far every centralized communication service with true privacy has ended up either exploiting their users privacy, sold to people who don't care about privacy, or strong-armed by various powers. If you don't build in mitigation to this problem from the beginning, it will never happen.

> incredibly difficult to make federation work

This is complete nonsense. It's another feature that has to be taken into account, but it isn't harder than any other feature. (I would rate the crypto ratcheting protocols as "incredibly difficult" to get right, not federation)

Again, if this isn't built in from the beginning, it will never happen.

> Currently you sound like an intiteled[sic] brat

Insults are rarely effective rhetoric.

> who does not understand the concept of time constraints.

I've been designing and implementing network protocols for about two decades, so I'm very aware of what's involved. I'm suggesting that protocols are hard to change once implemented. If federation isn't designed in from the beginning, then this is just another centralized system that is destined to fail. Pursuing the wrong goal is not a good use of time.

Interesting! This sounds like a developer hostel, to some degree. How's the internet access from this land? Are there builds on the land? What do you need to do to get it up and running and do you have the capital for it (I assume not since you posted this though you were able to buy the land so I wasn't sure).

Maybe look to what places like the hackers dojo to see if a similar type of business model could fit for you.

I like it. I have a family so I wouldn't be able to use this but when I was back in college if I KNEW there was a place I could live and code, on the cheap and on the west coast, even if it wasn't that close to SF or LA, I would have jumped at the chance.

Target demographic is college kids I'm assuming? Also single people and / or hopeful founders?
Because of the assumption of there being a correct answer. It is as much a problem of definitions and arbitary valuation as anything.

An academic analysis like what you linked to has to assume everybody have settled on the same definitions and valuations.

As a member of financial industry, I wouldn't say that.

"Active" brokerages are biting the dust? Well, good riddance! Moving people out of the loop is generally a good idea.

Now, passively managed funds are a good thing, during the growth market. However, once around every ten years, a recession comes. Then, suddenly, index-tracking funds become passé, and everyone wants a strategy to survive the market downfall.

And we have a lot of things to bring in from the current tech state of the art. Blockchain is ingenious, and the art of defining modern financial instruments using blockchain features is in its infancy. So, there is a lot of work to do, and lot of potential to grow.
Can you confirm any truths or deny any lies?
> I was going to wait a year before even pitching it to anyone.

Why not start now? You may be able to raise capital and start sooner than you expect and simply turn it into a real thing. You already made the investment in buying land, why not try to use it right away? At least if you tried to start doing something with it now you'll know at least one year sooner that it will either work or fail.

It would suck if you waited until 2017, attempted to do this only to find out it's just going to fail.

Disclaimer: I've only pitched one thing ever so my opinion may be bullshit.
I think you are seeing two definitions of "live reload".

One is where you live upgrade a full running release, including all applications and version, where you mutate state that had its format changed. All this in production, without any downtime. This is incredibly hard to get right. Erlang gives you a lot of tools (OTP & friends) to achieve this, but it is still very complex.

The other is reloading Erlang code in a runtime system. I.e. recompiling and reloading one or several modules in a runtime system. This is usually done during development (see Phoenix for Elixir for example) or perhaps even in production when you know what you're doing. This is relatively easy, with some risks of course if you are doing it in production.

Haskell scheduler switches at memory allocation.

When your CPU intensive code does not allocate, it will not switch to another green thread.

"Why are actively managed funds paid via fees, and not based on performance?"

Simple, As Warren Buffet said when he created an investment firm, he expected to be judged over the general market wave, that is if the market crashes 75%(like in 2008 or the great depression) just maintaining the funds worth(or loosing small) is a great deal and you are a genius. If the market skyrockets 50% per year and you get 10%, you are not so good.

Putting it another way, they are already based on performance over the market.

It took me a minute, after reading your sparse description a couple of times, to figure out what you want to do. This is interesting I've never heard of this type of market. So would this be like the publisher houses of old where they would give an author an advance, they write and publish the book, then the author essentially doesn't collect (or collects less) from book sales until the advance is paid back? Is it somewhat similar to that? Is it in perpetuity or for a set period?

I tried searching around online but I couldn't figure out if anyone really does this today or not. Is there a market for this?
