Narrowboats aren't desirable places to live. They're mainly a way for unscrupulous landlords to rent out illegally-low quality living space while evading inspections.
Pointing out the existence of a worse legal poison is not a very good argument for the legalisation of another one. Perhaps it should not be used at all.
> The amount of crapware I've had to remove from family member's PCs...

I think it is time antivirus, Google Chrome, et al recognize those installers as crapware and give a warning before installation (yes, including Java SDK and Skype trying to install toolbars). Currently Google Chrome is giving a malware warning just because you have an .exe in your web page that for them seems malware, and if you work in
> 1. Impose tax on corporate revenues, not profits

Problem with that is that it encourages needless integration. If you tax revenues, a company and its supplier will basically pay twice as much tax as when they merge.

Or do you have a clever idea to solve this?

(Value Added Tax's structure does solve this problem to some extent.)
Google pretty much ignore or place a very very low value on meta description and titles since it's so easy to game. External links, from high ranking reputable sites is where the most value is at since they are hard to game.

Example would be linking to this project page from the wikipedia page for youtube. Also the text used for links is important.

Yes google is a mind reader and it does figure what your page is about. It's actually not that hard using natural language toolkits to process the text on the page and figure it out. See http://www.nltk.org/
Wouldn't Apple have to repatriate the cash to the US in order to pay it out as dividends? (And thus pay both corporate income tax and dividend tax on it.)
Taxing land is actually a really good idea. You can't hide land from the tax man, and you can't decide to produce more or less land---so the taxes won't impact supply.
I used one for several months and when I finally took it off the screen looked so much nicer.
You're correct. I'd say that I am already doing something by having myself and another developer living out there on limited resources - can't expect anyone else to do that until I have.

Fortunately, there's not much potential for failure here because I plan to use the land for as long as I own it - I think my hesitance is just a function of knowing that a lot needs to be done before average people could live out there without too much of a lifestyle shock - but some people can handle that shock.
Congrats Giacomo :)

I would try to invest your current revenue in someone who can help you make your product more visible.
Another great thing about youtube-dl is its integration in mpv[1]. On Windows as long as you have both mpv.exe[2] and youtube-dl.exe in the same folder you can use it to play pretty much whatever youtube-dl supports. This should also work on *nix/Mac as well just check your distro's repo's or wherever you look for stuff like that on Mac (can you tell I've not used Mac stuff ever).

I rather like using it for things like twitch streams since I can bypass having to use Flash and get a higher quality renderer in the process (with things like high quality scaling[3] and debanding[4]). And it goes without saying that it's nice for youtube stuff as well because of the aforementioned benefits. Basically it makes stuff look even better than if you watched it the browser, and I like that.

1. XML is very easy to parse (linear-time). By comparsion, TeX or troff, while elegant, are not that easy to parse. In the sample formula (see the first comment) the parser that reads the beginning of the formula has no idea it's going to end up with a fraction until it sees \over. So it's a real parser and then a post-processor that sets things up; check "TeX: The Program" for details. And it can only parse one language. In XML it's just a very dumb highly optimized generic loader that can load any XML. I agree the content has to come from somewhere, but it's a different story.

2. XML data model is more sophisticated than JSON or YAML: it supports element ordering and mixed content and does it rather elegantly and succinctly. It also has namespaces (and these are very good namespaces, they're not hierarchical, they're just long names in a single flat namespace with convenient notation to shorten the long prefixes to reasonable size). As a result it's very easy to define a new language, extend a language, mix multiple XML languages, etc. JSON and YAML are hopeless here.

3. XML comes with tools to define the type of the document or a fragment, so you can read a document and automatically check that it has the right syntax (and/or convert the data, such as dates, into the native format). There are three ways to do this (DTD, Schema, Relax NG) in order of increasing power and expressiveness (not just syntactic sugar, but different kinds of languages). In particular, it natively supports things like inter-element references, which is very convenient for complex documents.

4. XML comes with XSLT, which is a general-purpose tree transformer (transducer) with declarative syntax. This is an immensely valuable tool. To put things into perspective: a compiler is a special-purpose tree transformer that transforms the source tree of a program into machine code (which is also a tree, technically: sections, data, functions, etc.). Are you sure you don't need a general-purpose declarative tree transformer and prefer to write ad-hoc ones? :)

5. The specification of XML 1.0 is shorter than, say, YAML :) OK, this is only one part of XML landscape, the whole is much bigger, of course; but still this part (basic XML and DTD) is noticeably shorter than YAML. (I myself also find YAML pretty cryptic.)
They're on point about his general lawlessness. It started with the Chrysler bailout (almost as soon as he walked into office!), and it continues to this day with e.g. the retroactive provisions in his latest anti-inversion proposal.

Picking the initial stocks? A company like Berkshire Hathaway run by Warren Buffet has a very low churn over the years, especially in their larger positions. The company has been sitting on 400,000,000 shares of Coca-Cola since the late 80s, never selling a single share.
Haskell's scheduler preempts on memory allocation. Memory allocation is ubiquitous in Haskell; the example you are giving cannot really be written in Haskell as values are immutable. You could try to do something with IORef and bang patterns to avoid thunks being allocated but you are now in a very tiny corner case, much smaller than the surface area of NIFs that can cause you problems in both Erlang and Haskell.

I realise it's a lot of work, but as more and more downstream projects come to depend on React, having a "community build" that would build those against your RCs and run some integration tests would be a great way to improve reliability of the overall ecosystem.
These schemas seem like pretty simple, straightforward adaptations of specific problems. This doesn't actually look like any sort of actionable advice on how to design better schemas. Are we supposed to just osmose the knowledge somehow? I was expecting something more along the lines of recommendations like "foreign key relationships should always be indexed, nobody ever came up with a realistic example where they shouldn't! Why the hell isn't this the default behavior?"
Another argument is the incredible damage that drug prohibition has done to our society. Millions of drug users have been criminalised and/or jailed just because they wanted to alter their state of mind. Drugs on the street are often tainted with adulterants. Violent drug cartels have wreaked absolute havoc on entire countries.

The war on drugs does not work, so let's take a fresh approach.
1) Love the idea of repurposing residential garages, but are these spaces as available (with all the criteria for your needs, like bathroom access) / convertable as you think they'll be?

2) Is the plan for home owners to clear their space, renovate it in the hope you'll accept it, then list their space in an AirBnB-type model? Or is someone on your team seeking them out, signing a long-term rental agreement, and converting them yourselves? With a cut to the homeowner, cost of renovations, cost of cleaning after every use, cost of supplies & refills, how much utilization do you need for a space to cover setup costs and then maintain a profit?

3) Beyond the community, a lot of artists who use creative studios do so because they're working on projects that won't get completed within a day or two. How do you address needs for storage of things like wet paintings, clay sculpture, large print templates, etc.? Right now your booking system doesn't seem to support needs like "3 hours today, 3 hours tomorrow, 3 hours after the weekend" without multiple bookings / risking getting out-booked and kept away from stored items.

4) Do you see your target market being more artists currently in a studio (or that have used them in the past), or artists that have never yet joined one (primarily worked from home)?
> It's not easy because it's an command line.

> It's sad but understandable.

I can understand why many people will avoid using commandlines. The part I don't understand is how they're quite comfortable when those commandlines are surrounded by "Forward", "Back", "Stop" and "Reload" buttons; or when they have an "I'm feeling lucky" button underneath.

In the case of this discussion, the typical user flow would be something like:

- Double click browser

- Enter special string of text "youtube.com" in URL box and hit enter

- Enter strings of text into YouTube search box to find videos

- Copy special string "https://youtube.com/watch?v=abcdefg" from URL box

- Enter another special string "google.com" in URL box and hit enter

- Enter strings of text into Google search box and hit enter

- Click SuperDuperVideoDownload link

- Paste special string "https://youtube.com/watch?v=abcdefg" into SuperDuperVideoDownload box and hit enter

Present this user with a CLI like youtube-dl, and they'll complain that they don't like the idea of copy/pasting special strings into boxes.

youtube-dl actually has quite sane defaults too; e.g. "youtube-dl https://......" will Just Work (TM). Switches are only needed for fancier stuff (e.g. "Download highest quality Free format and extract the audio track")
Most racetracks are available for rent.
Yeah - I have looked into a lot of existing and defunct hacker hostels to get an idea of the landscape. The big difference here being an emphasis on a cheap location, and the emphasis on a life-long network rather than a short term living situation.

Having a family is a limiting factor in people uprooting their lives, so I think you're right in saying that a younger audience is going to be the target (I'm 30 though). And yeah - single people and hopeful founders would also be a good target. This isn't something the members necessarily need to live at or pay a lot of money into - for some it may be nothing more than a cool vacation spot for a week or two.

Thanks for the support. The idea is definitely a fun one but I'm also staying realistic with all of the challenges.

Internet access is OK now, with a perfect 4g connection. Fortunately there is a local provider for high power wifi connections thats very affordable an I plan to set it up soon. There is currently a cement, permitted building pad on the land - I bought myself a small trailer for my office, 3d printer, etc and a small bunk bed. The other devs who have been there have nice tents set up - but I have plans in progress which I will get a permit for to expand the buildings.
My favorite part of this app is how they only released it in three countries, because nothing says "front page of the internet more" than a good ol' geo-lock.
Close, but it doesn't appear to be active (the version you get from the download link is from 1996?) and it's using the 4 clause BSD license, which (as I understand it) poses GPL compatibility problems.

Well yes, they are criminals who have broken the law. Your argument is defeatist; drug prohibition works quite well in places like Japan and Singapore.
failiure to protect your data from your CMS

How can you do that if the CMS is the place where the data is stored? That's why people use a CMS after all, to manage content.
A good point. I didn't specify in my initial comment (and I should have) but one of our other criteria is to be able to build everything with just a C/C++ compiler. So we'd have to bundle/bootstrap Go just to build the editor, which I believe is too heavy to be practical for that (unfortunately).
Wow, crazy idea.

However, no matter how good or plausible this idea is, it's extremely vulnerable to itself...

Central banks have power not only because they can issue currency, but also because they are a monopoly (in their sphere of influence).

Nothing stops someone else, including the govt or someone trying to destroy the system, from replicating this and give out Another Dollar (AD). In fact, if there's even a hint this is popular, I expect to see this co opted by big corporations or entities with far more resources. Wal-Mart Dollars, Amazon Dollars, might all show up, which actually destroys the trust of this kind of system.

This is the killer of almost all innovations, the innovator's dilemma. How could you guarantee it's only you?
In the article, Mr. Toomey wrote this:

"The government assumes that any communication entering or leaving the country has a foreigner on one end — and thus is eligible for warrantless searching. As the new Brennan Center report makes clear, the implications of this position are especially dire given the global structure of the Internet, where even Americans’ domestic communications may be routed or stored abroad without the parties to those communications even knowing. "

He's correct. This position is dire. It also works in reverse. Any communication between two non-US residents that happens to transit the US is also subject to surveillance. Given the way global packet networks function, that means that almost any communication could be subject to surveillance under this legal theory.

As US networking companies' foreign customers have understood, that's an unacceptable -- and sometimes illegal -- risk. These policies haven't been good for US network business.

And, pretty soon the NSA could have T. Cruz or D. Trump at the head of the government they control.

Is there some reason the US security apparatus can't legislate in public? Is there some reason they can't make the case "here's why we are trustworthy"? They haven't even TRIED to make that case.

Some great answers and advice here. I'd add questions about behaviour when things go wrong. For example, what happens when a deadline is missed? Who is accountable (correct answer being "team", or "everyone")? How do lessons learnt affect subsequent projects?

Took me a while to find a good formulation for these questions - during an interview I now say something like "Facebook, Apple, Microsoft and the like still miss deadlines, so it's a given that smaller outfits will, too. How do you deal with missed deadlines, and how are teams affected by that?"

I look for more occurrences of "we" and "us", and fewer of "I", "he", "she" and "you".
Indeed. There's plenty in there that contradicts the "customer first" myth, particularly the "flywheel" part.

its because you didn't search for a specific language.
It is for some companies. Or just do very crude estimates like "this might take 3-5 weeks" even for things that might take 1 week but could take 6 weeks.

Sometimes it is better to start developing and then tell stakeholders that it will take a really long time when you run into problems. A lot of stakeholders have problems with estimates of the form "it could take 2 days or 3 weeks". It would be nice if the industri starts giving probability about estimates especially when you know that there are two clear possibillties where one is much, much larger. They might want to invest 2 days into trying to solve the problem with the understanding that it might take much more time and if that happens they can change their mind and skip the feature instead, "only" wasting two days of investigation.
Great summary! XML really isn't a bad format, it just gets bad mouthed by everyone who thinks it's a bitch to author -- and I agree, it is. But just don't author it by hand then. JSON or YAML of any reasonable length is also terrible to author by hand, yet you lose out on so many of the benefits of XML. And for what, better "hello world" samples?
I like using id as key, if you want to "decouple" info, i just use reservation.id as reservation_id

Show HN: Radium Starter – Minimum viable layer on top of HTML/CSS in modern web
Currently doing around 450 with my gf, it's fine really, but we're early 20s. But I completely agree, at these sizes, the marginal value of a unit of space matters a lot. Whereas in my parents house you can cut out 10-20% and barely notice, in mine it's the difference between fun and feeling miserable. And having an additional 20% would mean I could live there for the rest of my life without kids - right now it's fine but I couldn't characterise it as ideal.

208... I don't know, it depends on the furniture. My brother lived on 160 as a student, excluding a kitchen which was shared in the hallway, and drycleaning etc which was also centralised in the building, and it was pretty nice for a single person. Essentially a hotel room with a proper desk. It's certainly not a dream gig but it was also far from terrifying. Writing it now makes it sound really shitty but it worked, until you're 30 or so.
Agreed! Getting users is always a hurdle :).
Are you aware of / how are you different than BevSpot (https://www.bevspot.com/)?

They seem to be solving this problem from the restaurant management side, which builds the demand-side of the marketplace, making it easier for them to sell distributors on the supply side: https://www.bevspot.com/distributors/
The problem is thus: How to price every good and service at equilibrium in the economy, with regards to the marginal cost and marginal benefit of every individual for every good and service.

You have not seen any suggestion to solve this problem, does not mean it isn't NP-hard.

There is a perfect answer, and there will almost never be enough computing power to calculate it. It is always approximated.

What do you think about Xamarin? Is it future?
I agree. I think it's important to keep track of who cares about the user's task too. As you say, if the user cares about a task, they'll jump through many hoops to get it done. Especially when money is involved (e.g. finding cracked copy of XYZ to avoid paying license fee)

When someone else wants the user to do a task, e.g. a business wants users to install and use its software, then it's definitely better to assume that users will give up at minor annoyances or complications. Again, especially when money is involved; i.e. it should be as easy as possible for people to give you money.

I don't think it's a tragedy because if it was very popular and easy to use YouTube would likely block it. It's directly competing with their own YouTube Red. Also look at popular Linux distros like Ubuntu. As soon as they reach mass market they lose what made them special to begin with and start experimenting with advertising and so on.
+1 to Regus for being a digital nomad or traveling.

They are available worldwide, with typically many locations in major metropolitan areas. The Internet is reliably good. Even small things like internationally-compatible AC wall plugs are a nice touch.

I can't say what it's like to rent a real office there, but for a backup for hotel Internet or just a place to get a change of scenery while away from home, they're great. I have the business world gold card, and it's not too expensive, especially compared to a coworking space located in just one city.

Coworking spaces local to a city are nice, but can vary wildly in cost, and sometimes require convincing the team to let you work there on short notice (walk-ins aren't particularly welcome, unless you carefully explain you have experience at coworking places).

One other nice thing about the Regus locations I've been to in big cities: there's usually some really nice views out their windows. This has been true in Boston, Auckland, Sydney, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Tokyo - it's surprisingly inspiring!

Edit: and gosh do I realize this reads like I'm a shill for them. I'm not. It just seems like $60 per month - the cost of Internet in the USA - to get an office in any major city in the world is a good deal. But that's because I'm traveling a lot right now, too, so YMMV.
Uhm, perhaps a stupid question, but how exactly would one build DOM elements without access to the DOM?
> and try to recoup costs through ads you're bypassing that by downloading the video with this tool.

99% of the people and organizations in YouTube never recoup costs. For almost all this is wishful thinking.
Good! The top slots belong to those services which don't require you to download anything but the video to your computer. In this day and age, is there really any excuse for making anything beyond a web app, or in rare cases, a browser app?

If I want to do a one off task, I'm not going to download any software for it, when I know there is an alternative that can be used entirely on the browser.

There are plenty of addons for major browsers that do this. Those belong on page 1, not this. Most users don't give a shit about FOSS.
