Ask HN: What do you use for your hosted knowledge base?
I know that many of the helpdesk services (desk.com, zendesk, groove, helpscout, ...) have a Knowledge Base feature as an add-on. I'm curious if there are any good hosted knowledge base solutions where it isn't an afterthought.

I found supporthero.io and knowledgeowl.com but both seem to be very small companies (just 1 or 2 people) that may not be around for long. Then there's helpjuice.com which looks perfect but starts at $199/month.

I'm curious what folks on HN use.
Feel free to use them.
That's why you need to set up incentives in such a way that the insurance company charges doctors who engage in risky behaviour more.

This way, you directly encourage good behaviour via decreased cost, and remove the element of (bad) luck for the doctor.
My argument is that her panic attacks, when coupled with her other statements, indicate an unwell person, which undermines her credibility with regard to the seriousness of what the FBI agents are said to have done.

According to you, the FBI should have known she was unwell and treated her as such, which I can understand. Having never actually talked to her or even been aware that she was having panic attacks or other mental issues as a result of their inquiries, I fail to see how you would expect the FBI agents to do that, however.

I also don't see how they did. Did they work so much harder as to 'deserve' a ten to hundred fold turnout of their investment?
I don't think you know what harassment is then, if you think an FBI agent talking to you on the street is de facto harassment.
I'd be embarrassed, but the President of the US isn't that powerful in terms of controlling the US. He has control over the military, but even that is a team effort. Declaring war is also a function of Congress.

In that scenario, it's possible people would wake up and vote for better congresspeople, and a lot of good legislation would be passed (protections for immigrants, for example).
I assume the whole thing goes down when left-pad or some other trivial dependency can't be resolved.
> Giving epidurals and scheduling c-sections don't reduce mortality rates.

Giving epidurals is pain management, and managing pain helps the mother do what she is being coached to do (and manages adverse stress reactions that the body has as a result of pain), so I'd be surprised if it didn't reduce mortality, though the effect is probably small.

Scheduled C-sections are often because of early-identified risk factors of vaginal delivery; they certainly do reduce mortality rates.
bummer :-/

Looks like I'll be prioritizing this in the next release(s)
I agree, however there wasn't a threat of implicit physical or social harm, and this reaction goes above and beyond "stress and worry".
I mention this a lot but...

I used to work at a place that had a ~5 year old pc on a <1Mb internet connection to test their software. If it ran find on that, then it would run fine on most of their users hardware.

As someone who's neither a designer nor a mobile engineer, after reading this article I still have no idea what it means to design at 1x.
Matt admits that himself:

> I don’t mean to sound like a goofy politician but I came from meager means. My parents always had shitty small businesses that never made much money. I didn’t have any adults, like country club adults, around me to to tell me, “Oh, you should have a lawyer for that, you should incorporate as this in this state and you could avoid this tax.” I didn’t know anybody like that. I was financially illiterate until my early 20's.

> If you have no idea what an S Corp is, there’s not a lot of hand-holding help for you out there. I was a stupid, bumbling idiot combined with money. My spirit animal was Kenny Powers instead of Warren Buffett.
If solar power is cheaper than coal without subsides, it has greater than 1 EROEI by a big margin, and the question is settled.

Also, if it's the car itself doing the driving, you're free to look around the surroundings and say "find a turn onto ____ street going north" when you see something over there thataway that looks interesting. (My city has one-way streets and no-turn streets everywhere, so getting from point A to point B can often be much, much harder than it looks.)
Not really. We lived in an apartment from the time our youngest daughter was born until she was 2 or so. There was no elevator so we would count the stairs when we went up. I don't recall how many stairs there were, but she could count higher than 20 because of that. Of course she was a bit precocious. We were at university at the time and the only people she interacted with were other university students (no other kids around). By the time she was 2 she was fully fluent and could carry on lengthy conversation with any adult as if she was a college student. It was quite amusing.
Two observations:

web vs. app data seems to be missing something. According to that graph, about 15% of startups are building either an app or a website. Where are the remaining 85% doing? That sounds strange.

I can't underscore enough the "crystal ball" effect of receiving all those pitches. By hearing every idea out there, you get a free crash course in the future. While founders don't like to hear it, a similar idea has already been pitched 10 times. So investors focus on how you are different from those 10 similar ideas. And often, investors will have "amazing" insights for you, just by repeating what those 10 other founders have told them already. It's like being prescient without being especially smart. A very strange feeling.
Capitalist success isn't something paid out by the hour. They capitalized on an opportunity. They made out big. Its the system we live under.

The original research had a list of traits for authoritarianism. Your article splits the same group into two, authoritarians and populists. OK, so Trump supporters are on the populist side of that split..and within the original research's definition of authoritarians.

More to the point, everything worrying about the tendency is worrying about BOTH authoritarians AND populists.

On Trump's foreign policy speech, note that his claim to have been publicly against the Iraq War is false. See http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/2016/feb/... for verification. Furthermore everyone that I said he said he would bomb he HAS in fact said he would bomb.

That he expressed the sentiment of being a peaceful sort who does not intend to start fights, well of course he would. You can find many similar statements from dictators like Hitler. Don't look at his statements about how he wants you to think he'll act. Instead look at how quickly he suggests violence whether it is against countries (I'd bomb North Korea) or individual people (I'd like to to punch him in the face).

On mass deportation, you're right that it will be a mess. However the attempt to deport them is going to get ugly.

On Hitler's domestic policies, you are of course drawing parallels to Bernie Sanders. However the parallels continue to Trump. Trump is publicly for universal health care, unemployment insurance, and economic protectionism.

You are right that drawing parallels to Nazi Germany is not always meaningful or conclusive. BUT it is not always meaningless or irrelevant either.

ECMAScript Standard Moves to Yearly Release Schedule;Here Is What’s New for ES16
There's good reason to believe that the FBI repeatedly calling upon your places of residence is harassment [1][2]. At the same time, trying to contact someone peaceably and privately is a reasonable action; It is only because of past abuses that we are suspicious of their every minor action. There's a balance somewhere in there, but I'm not going to pass judgement on either party here. It's not clear that they weren't structured to be threatening, and it's not clear that the author isn't being paranoid.

High-quality software isn't expensive - it has a high initial cost, but the difference between a successful product and a crappy product you can't sell and need to hire hundreds of people to bugfix is more than enough to cover this.

Some people tend to want cheap. They don't see what software developers, testers, UX guys and so on bring to the party. Unfortunately they don't really have a choice - they pay now or pay later.

"We are going to try and question you without your lawyer" is absolutely an implicit threat.
> Did it hurt you to have window shoppers growing your mind share?

Yes. The awareness was growing but sales was not keeping up. It was a business decision to focus more on sales and less on awareness.

The sales team suddenly had 470% more sales leads to work with than the month before, for the price of 30% low-interest downloaders. I don't see how you can think that would result in _less_ sales.

"We are going to try and question you without your lawyer present" is at best an implicit threat.
That's a good point.

I guess one problem is that the failures of the `can't improvise' case are really easy to see and imagine. Whereas the other failure of mixing up connectors could always be blamed on human error.

Someone should figure out which scenario causes more damage. With enough stocking, we should be able to avoid the need for improvisation?

As a technical solution, medical connectors could come with bits that prevent mistakes (and clearly different colours and perhaps even outside textures to use sense of touch, too); but with the safety bits simple to break off on both sides, so that you can still plug them together.

So you can still plug together arbitrary things, but you get a short moment where you have to consciously use some force.
If I'm not paying that $4-5k to PG&E, and the installation costs have been recouped, then that $4-5k/yr is profit. Money is fungible - if you manage it well, you get the same net effect from preventing it's loss as you do from earning it.
First rule of the Internet : all comment threads tend towards comparison to hitler. Multiply by 20 for YouTube.
While there certainly is a lot of data, and it is presented very well, the analysis falls into the same traps as analyses of Google Trends data, particularly in the keyword analysis. Causation of changes in trends is ambiguous.

For example, YC applications are optimized for the highest probability of getting into YC by definition, and so it would be expected that terms on the application would be optimized for getting venture capital, not necessarily what is happening in the marketplace today. (The "Slack: King of the Enterprise Tools" slide is a good example; I'm sure the mention of "Slack for X" is a golden flag for some VCs)

A question about the chart presentation: why are some lines straight, and some lines smooth? (e.g in the Startup Competitors slide, Instagram, Airbnb, and Uber have curbed lines but Tinder, Whatsapp, and Snapchat have straight lines)
I am simply expressing my preference and opinion.
I mentioned this on another related thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11554080. In short, the solution here only closes one of potentially many other similar attacks: http://lcamtuf.coredump.cx/switch/

The attack I linked to originates from the malicious site and links to the trusted site (the reverse of the attack in this post). There is nothing a site can do to prevent this since there is no way for a linked to site to prevent the linking site from getting a window reference to it. So, imagine a scenario like this:

* trusted site implements the guidance here and links to malicious site.

* The malicious site, detecting that they can't get a reference to "window.opener" immediately opens a new tab back to the trusted site (maybe to the login page if the site has any logout CSRF issues).

* The user is slightly confused, but they were just on the trusted site, so it doesn't feel too strange.

* If the user is super savvy, the look up at the URL bar and are assured that they actually are back in the trusted site (possibly staring at a login prompt).

* the attacker has a reference to the window they opened back to the trusted site. They set a timer for a couple seconds (like the attack I referenced above). After a few seconds they change the trusted site to load a malicious site and/or malicious data URL.

* user "logs in to the trusted site" and gives up their creds.
> When a pilot makes a mistake, they file an ASRS report and instead of being disciplined or hit with a huge legal liability they can be open and transparent while NASA and the FAA work to mitigate those accidents from happening in the future.

When a pilot "makes a mistake" that falls outside of the norms expected of the profession, and through that mistake causes injury or death to another person, they don't face the risk of losing their license and/or facing large legal liability?

That seems...improbable.

> Unless "1 cent => public domain always", then there's no clear line. Is that your argument?

I don't see a problem with this. If you want public money, you have to put your work in the public domain. That's just a condition of getting the money.

The NIH does this. If you receive a single penny from an NIH grant, the work must be posted to PubMed.

Your maps example is a straw man - everyone knows Maps is incredibly complex - not a small MVP. And your point about how hard it is to get things right further exemplifies my point which is not to get too caught up in pixel perfect details. There's no time/money/energy for that.

If your bar is too high on the UX side, as a lone contract programmer who is NOT the designer, you probably will have the same problems shipping as the person described in the article. Real artists ship. Lone consultants cannot do Apple/Google/Microsoft/well funded startup level UIs where there's a guy who's only job on the project is the interaction between code and design.

Yeah, PG&E is practically begging their customers to install solar. The biggest savings come on the days/times with the best solar potential, and dropping out of that highest tiers can be a real win.

It's highly dependent on geography, you need two separate, very large, reservoirs at very different elevations. It takes a lot of water across a big height differential to store electricity.

It kind of reminds me of people that think that we should use the exercise bikes in gyms to power the lighting; yes, brilliant, but actually run the numbers and you realize that humans output very very little energy even at peak exercise. The amount of waste on generators would be phenomenal.

There are some cases where pumped hydro makes sense, but there's limited scalability.
Ah you were talking about broken window from an economic perspective, not a social health perspective.

It's actually common for retired pilots to teach risk mitigation classes for doctors and nurses. Something as simple as a small checklist can make a huge difference.
No it's not.

Edit: To elaborate,

Threat - A declaring of one's intention to cause harm or loss to another's person or property or to limit one's freedom to act in a lawful voluntary manner (a threat to kidnap).

Harm to a person or property is not inherently present when talking to someone on the street.
>It's one thing to have such things forced upon you by circumstance. It's quite another thing to actively create the circumstance, especially when the majority of people who would wind up in them are basically ordinary people trying to get by.

Well, the same European leaders helped create the circumstance too, by playing both sides, selling arms, and undermining the stable government that resulted in the refugee crisis in the first place (in their never ending interventionist plots for control of the area and/or cheap oil).

And, one could say refugees are just as "ordinary people trying to get by" as illegal Mexican immigrants (or even more so, since they also flee a war).

I used debugger during the first few years of coding. Then I learned the idea of coding without using debugger. I tried it. It was unnatural at first. But I wanted to see if it is really good or not. Without realizing it, I have done with the last 5 years writing a lot of codes day and night without using debugger. I wrote C, ObjC, Go, Java, C#, JavaScript, PHP. I can write code as soon as I wake up all the way until the moment I need to sleep again. I can read code as natural as I read an English essay. Sure there are some very badly written codes that is hard to understand, as there are badly written English articles too. I fixed trivial bugs (such as edge cases or typo) by reading it, more difficult one by enabling debug logs (much more productive in long run), there are separate tools for memory leak inspection, a hanged process can be inspected by process dump log.

> Fair statement but the military also has medical professionals.

Sure, the military has medical professions, but the military is not as dominant a source of medical professionals as it has been for professional pilots. So, it seems (to me, at least) plausible that military culture might have a substantially stronger impact on the piloting profession than medicine.
> Sadly I never ran into that in my studies.

The common `complaint' about eg Haskell's type system is that it only tells you off if something is amiss, but doesn't actually do anything for you when your program is fine. So, that's just the opposite.
