The peculiarity of Berlin is that it has lower cost than many other German cities.

This is unusual, because typically you pay a premium for working in the capital of the nation. In Berlin, that is explained by the history (West Berlin was an enclave within DDR and the capital of BRD was in Bonn; Berlin was subsidized and had lots of relatively cheap housing which is not yet fully priced up 25 years after German unification).
One company I worked at made medical equipment and had these quarterly-to-half-yearly all-hands. The CEO, famous for fleecing his own company would invariably tell us to 'tighten our belts'. I almost started running a pool as to how far through the meeting that phrase would appear.

One 'funny' thing about all-hands was the Q&A section - no-one ever asked anything (maybe the occasional softball) apart from us support guys. "Where are the extra support staff you promised?". One all-hands I was away off-site with the other support tech, and it threw the cadence of the all-hands off, apparently, as "and this is about the time the support guys complain..." (not actually said, but what everyone was expecting).

The company is still somehow running, but it's always been tight on money. After I left I heard the tale from a colleague still there, about how they had orders from customers, finished stock to fill those orders, and they couldn't ship... because they were on credit hold with the cardboard shipping box suppliers for non-payment...
You could also write a quick script using their REST API, although that's a bit cumbersome (lot of IDs that need to be passed around after creation of each resource).

Still better than manual clicking in my opinion.

As someone who doesn't work on client facing stuff, I've found the recognition section does become tedious and slightly demoralizing over time. At least where I've worked, the awards always go to someone who made a big sale or went the extra mile for a specific client, which means that folks whose job is to build the product are effectively not eligible. Or if they are recognized, it's always for a generic team accomplishment, which ends up feeling like, "$group_of_20_people hit a delivery target! Golf clap everyone!"
Considering the throw-away account you did already knew that your comment is trash. Why did you waste those bytes anyway?
The benefit of "cheap" in that context isn't just that you save money - it allows people much more freedom. There are lots of people working on "interesting project" up to "wild idea of a madman" because they don't have to work 60h/week to pay rent. That creates a pretty good mood, even for people choosing a more traditional career.
Ha - I'm the author - I would say that Brexit is a minor factor for leaving. The main one is affordability. Also Berlin is more fun...
No, I don't mind at all, but what would the relevant configuration files be? As I said, there was no fiddling necessary. The only thing I remember doing is putting `echo kern.vty=vt >> /boot/loader.conf`.
The original comment clearly mentions that feature. The question was why cross-platform applications don't set the hidden attribute on dotfiles.

> Dresden is a much more beautiful town than ugly Berlin.

That is certainly subjective (and offensive). I have not been to Dresden but I found Berlin to be quite an interesting aesthetic environment and hardly sore on the eyes. It has huge, lovely green parks and I find the wide open spaces throughout the town rather refreshing.
Down the road, this should also integrate well with their VR plans.

There's quite a few companies they will not be able to sign up unless they provide an on premise solution (which I doubt they are interested int) and I have a feeling that even if they push the message hard it'll not be trivial to not have carry over privacy concerns (pretty important for enterprise software).
My gut tells me they should have released this as a completely separate entity to avoid fragmentation (I suppose this would also be the default positioning argument).

As an outsider it's also an interesting case of make vs. buy (MS-Yammer vs. Workplace).
No, I don't think that's accurate. I'm glad the parent posted that as I was about to do a similar write up and they saved me a good couple minutes, but the headlines as provided are a bit of a jump - as I'm not a UK citizen I had to read up on the Terrorism Act of 2006, and so far the counts listed on the Metropolitan Police's are well within accord with the Act as the parent described.

Pointing out the logic isn't the same as supporting it. Quite the contrary, if we can't understand how the logic of the people who are doing bad things works, we can only treat symptoms, which doesn't get us very far. The parent post was accurate that other conditions were a requirement before a count from section 5 could be applied, and that it wasn't just a case of a person switching to HTTPS or downloading the Tor browser that caused this.

I think it's pretty easy for anyone to understand why the S5 is overreaching, but it's important to accurately report why it's happening and how. I openly argue against this (having just heard about it), but on the basis that seemingly benign acts become criminal offenses. I find that ultimately it leads to absurd scenarios where punishments are given for otherwise benign acts - the idea of "_____ which is used in terrorism" just seems silly to me, as it can be applied to virtually anything and anyone without any clear understandings or definitions as to why it's applied as such.

As is apparent, I have a bit of a Trump tilt. I would actually really appreciate knowing more arguments against locked down borders in general (like Switzerland, say), besides social ones.

Switched to VS code from atom and loving it already. This is what Atom should look like. Atom has become so bloated it's a pain to use now. But there was a previous comment online maybe on HN or Reddit about an issue in the privacy policy or license in VS code. Any idea about that??
> I can't imagine drugs that purposely alter the chemistry of the brain and that are used (abused?) by tens of millions each day is without dangerous side effects.

Your broad strokes include any and all kinds of psychoactive substances, though.

But to your point: wouldn't any dangerous side effects of SSRIs be pretty obvious by now?
Auth code looks ok to me but I am not a PHP expert. Could find no major recent breaches--am I missing something? (Not being snarky, just trying to understand the issue.)
Cash is much more popular however another big factor is that credit cards aren't really a thing. Instead Germany has its own system of EC cards which are directly tied to your bank account (which most people get as a child here) and work more like debit cards.

The only reason to have a credit card as a German is for buying this outside of Germany.
We must tread with caution when we move beyond tools that can only support rule-of-law.

The creation of dual-use tools that can also be used for rule-by-law necessarily involves taking on a plausible existential risk to our society.

To justify this, the threat that they are countering must pose an existential threat to our society that is demonstrably greater.

You'd be surprised about how much of the general public even knows that there is a type of Samsung phone that can spontaneously combust, and the proportion of those people that care and will continue to remember that fact when they are looking for a new phone is also going to be quite small.

I have had to explain the story to friends who gave me blank looks when I explained that my Samsung S7 was not the kind that exploded...
The SysV IPC functionality wasn't sufficiently isolated in jails before; you could enable it, but it would defeat the purpose of a jail as a security and isolation mechanism.
Banning seems extreme. We have mechanisms on HN to self-moderate -- If you do not like paywalled articles, do not upvote them or post them. But as long as other people are posting and upvoting, it means some part of this community feels they have value.

So this discussion is great - lets make sure everyone takes the time to give it thought. But after those thoughts have had time to percolate, the actions of the community will self-correct. Or not.
Well sure ... I just seek to understand these things. I'm not throwing in my hat of support to any candidate.

In practice, I've heard the line "I know trump's awful but ..." coming from quite a few surprising places. I can't say "this reality doesn't exist because I choose not to believe in it".

If I want to honestly understand the world, I need to be open to ideas I currently do not understand.
Many speak english (except, for some reason, those at the immigration desk). Other stuff can be done online, in English. If people are really nervous, they usually find someone to come along and translate, or they meet someone in the waiting room.
This is actually the reason I already avoid Samsung. They seem to have abysmal customer service in the US. Particularly compared to Apple for mobile devices.

3500 mAh doesn't strike as something astonishing. There are Chinese phones with >5000 mAh battery for sale (though I would not dare to vouch for their safety), even Galaxy S7 have 3000 mAh battery.

Beyond Prediction: Why Adaptive Analytics Matter
Yes, the hardest thing is probably to get a flat and register a business without speaking German and these are one time things, no ongoing stuff.

The start-up scene speaks English fluently and buying stuff etc. doesn't need much talking.

The start-up I work with has 2 employees who don't speak German at all and they say it's only a problem when they are in smaller villages.
It's the newspaper themselves who bypass their own firewall when you come from google. They can easily disable it if they want to.
So next time she/he uses it there won't be need to clarify. Well, it will probably have to be repeated many times until it catches on, but I would say that's the idea :-)
If any one else wants to know more about these google "in ear monitor". That's the trade name for the headphones musicians use to hear the mixed product while also protecting themselves from the amplified sound.
Thank you. This is eye-opening. I wonder what the typical customer profile is for these purchasers. I got into programming so I could make games, then avoided that line of work because I tended to become addicted.

"My business is called The Echo Chamber Club — we curate articles that counter a traditional metropolitan viewpoint and send them to our hundreds of subscribers. It makes sense that I remove myself from London to understand new points of view and communicate them with my subscribers."

With regards to "liberal metropolitan" viewpoints, Berlin won't challenge you anymore than London did. It's just another global city where inside your group of people you are likely to meet (given what you work in) they will more than likely be liberal and metroplitan.
The problem here is that we are currently paying for vaccine research by promising the monopoly to allow research to recoup their costs (and the risks of plausible therapies that go nowhere). Removing that monopoly and not replacing it with something else will mean that no new therapies get developed. If we want new therapies to be developed, then we have to pay for it somehow.

We could also reduce the cost of bringing new therapies to market by having the FDA say "if your drug is approved by the EU, you can sell it in the US" as per S. 2388
How do you work with proxy? I can't install any extensions without manually downloading and installing.
The benefits she mentions are legitimate, even though two of them have nothing to do with Berlin and could be obtained by moving to any new city. (no distractions, and changing environment equals greater creativity)

So it really boils down to this for her: Berlin is affordable and it has a good meetup scene. Affordable is relative, salaries are lower in Berlin than in many other cities and the cost of living has been on a rise as more people move in, but at the moment she is absolutely right about this much: cost of living is still significantly lower in Berlin than in London (https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_cities.jsp?cou...) [1]

Depending on your product Berlin can be good or bad. I think its almost always a great fit if your product targets the German market initially and you want to eventually expand out from there. The other way around will be much more difficult, mainly because you're sitting in Germany and you're whole business side of operations must be run in German, under German law, rules, and regulations.

Having said this, as far as her specific product idea goes, I could see Berlin being a good fit for her. The super young hipster culture is pervasive throughout Berlin, and it seems like an idea that would work well in that market.

TIL! Thanks :)
Oh like creating a bunch of new emails or whatever?

Proxy... I know if you're smart you can take advantage of things, like for instance me not being smart, my credit cards fucked me, but smart people on the other hand, they sign up for credit cards and can make money off of it. Like $600/mo through all those signup bonuses or whatever.

All-hands meetings with the top leadership is great to let everyone know where the company is going.

Absolutely agreed. But you don't need more than 1-2 of those meetings a year.

Or conversely if the company is going somewhere different every two weeks then the company probably has some bigger problems to deal with.

Bar none, the happiest group of graduate students I ever worked with (at a hospital, or not) were the PAs. The education is focused, fulfilling, demanding without being exhausting. The pay is great (I know a number of guys who did a path of: high school flunkout -> GED -> nurse -> PA). Furthermore (at least 15 years ago), they don't have to deal with the vast majority of the insurance BS... they basically get to help & heal.

The helmet splitting is a result of the crush on impact. This is why you should always replace the helmet after it has been "useful" i.e. suffered an impact. Even if it stays in one piece, it has been crushed and lost some of its protection.

I think that the parent comment's statement "situations where a helmet has saved a life are rarely recorded" is a bit of an exaggeration, because quite often, if the helmet saves your head, you still suffer some other injuries. But it is indeed possible that people fall so that they suffer no other injuries, they'd just have cracked their head without the helmet.

I did actually consider Liverpool. That was on the shortlist.
Subsection 3 is especially relevant when it comes to intent:

> I can't read the paywalled articles on wsj.com anymore. So it's breaking my web experience of reading HN.

If a group of people at a party were talking about a book you had not read or a movie you had not seen, would that be breaking your party experience?

Of course not. You'd go converse with a different group that was talking about some other book or movie, or talking about sports or something.

You can do the same thing here. You have 30 submissions on the front page alone to choose from, and even more if you can bring yourself to hit the "more" link at the bottom of the page.

And unlike the book/movie discussion at a party, if you do go into the comments on an article you have not read you are unlikely to get any spoilers that will ruin it for you if you do later find the article somewhere you can read.

> An alternative like automaticly hiding articles from wsj.com would be nice, but i think it's more effectively to just ban the domain? Because it has no use for many HN-readers.

Every highly technical article discussed on HN is of no use to many HN readers. Do you think we should ban those, too?

Also, the utility of HN submissions is usually in the comments, not the article itself. The comments are usually quite useful even without reading the article. The article is merely a launching point.
No offence intended as I enjoyed reading your article and it wasn't really about your business, but if a liberal metropolitan wanted to experience viewpoints outside their own, couldn't they just browse to dailymail.co.uk? It's free and monetised already.

If the idea is something more highbrow, again, surely they could just subscribe to the Telegraph? Or watch Fox News?

Or heck, just use reddit? Lots of different viewpoints there.

Providing people with news that violates their own political biases and then getting them to pay for it seems very difficult. The more open minded ones who are willing to pay for views different to their own have lots of places they can seek out such views already.
It just like... I don't know normal math it "works" you can work through it step by step, this stuff is almost like philosophy to me... where it didn't really make sense, you just took it for word what some guy thought. I did badly in philosophy but did well in psychology.

not saying this doesn't follow a set of rules/logic, I'm just saying I look at it and it's not like rote-memory math, you know, you look for these patterns, practice this method/approach and solve the problem...

yeah also it's a matter of passion too... I'm not actually sure what I'm passionate about, I thought I knew... but things like AI, Machine learning, computer vision, it's cool, but would I actually obsess over it and master it... I'm not sure. I'm still trying to solve the problem of "I need money" and I try to come up with ways to make a lot at once somehow, but not succeeding.
