Don't be, I have a good quality of life (even started going to the gym again, can't do cardio but that doesn't stop me doing weights). Only thing really missing is that I've stopped travelling (a two hour train journey is pretty much my threshold and being cooped up on a plane sounds like hell). Dating kind of sucks, there's the moment where my injuring crops up and you can seem the moment where the date has turned south. Most girls don't seem to have a romantic image walking along the beach with a guy on crutches, I can't really complain is I've dumped girls too.

I really didn't see this coming, even after the accident I thought I'd go back for a cheeky ski trip with the insurance money. One good thing, is that this has given me an appreciation for things (I was somewhat coasting through life at the time), when I have a good day I make the most of it.

A knee replacement is a fix, although not ideal. There is no going back and would mean having to get my knee replaced every 10 years, could be as low as 5, plus it takes around a year to recover each time (I'm in my early 30s so this means numerous operations). Having met many people in hospital who've had hip and knee replacements, it's not something I'm keen on. Saying that I have an uncle who had his knee replaced 15 years ago and has had zero problems.

With the medical advancements, even being able to grow cartilage from stem cells. I want another go at getting it repaired (was SO close last time!), although I am tempted to go the knee replacement route..

How does that work? Is it an iOS specific thing? I haven't launched the Uber app in a while and use Lyft instead - but I just turn location services on when I want to use it and off again afterward. How does the app get any say in the matter?
ObservePoint Announces $19M Series B Round
totally missed that, whoops. I'll review it. thanks
I would say that he fact that you have 100s of developers changes a lot. But I see micro services pushed as the default approach even for startups with 4 guys in a room.
Hadn't heard that! This is why I'm not an entrepreneur apparently... Every time I have an idea, it's been done already by at least one person.

Anyways, you wouldn't happen to have that announcement handy would you?
When running into these runtime errors, it's sometimes not clear what module a missing class came from for complex setups, especially in a part of code you didn't recently work in. Then, the right version needs to be determined by following removed intermediate modules. It would just be cleaner and more reliable if the original dev had done this when writing the code in question.

But yeah, at least it fails on compile time already.

I'm a Chinese and I moved to US 5 years ago. Some of these are not true at least when I left China (I still go back every year and don't feel these at all).

>BTW: you have very little chance to be able to get married without a property under your name in China.

This is exaggerated. I've only seen such thing on news or from rumors. But in real life, a lot of my friends, classmates and colleges (both male and female) got married without owning a property.

>Primary/secondary education in China is very, very cruel

How can education be cruel? You may say it's hard or ineffective, but cruel?? What happened to you in your child life?
The iPod touch doesn't really belong here. It came out long after the iPod enjoyed massive success, and despite the name it wasn't really an iPod, but rather an iPhone without the phone parts. It's still called "iPod" but in terms of its functionality it's completely different.
If you have a family, strongly consider future you when you think about work-life balance decisions.

I would gladly have traded off some of my career success for more family time...had I known then what I know now.
I think you overestimate the percentage of people that a. work b. work 9 to 5 jobs. there's plenty of cars on the road at other times. would be surprised if load was more than 2-3x as high at those peak times (which could easily be accommodated by ride sharing)
In the shorter term, there are still huge efficiencies to be gained with smarter ride sharing. Imagine if something like uberpool served a majority of car commuters instead of a tiny fraction... you could get a lot of cars off the road but still provide a very high level of service.
Every morning I sit with many strangers in a train car for about an hour commuting to work. Sure a car is not quite the same, but I don't think it's that much different either. Society will adapt.
Very impressive project! It's results seem pretty good - what's the size of the index?
> Doesn't Amazon have unique defenses against this possibility?

All they really need to do is curate their 3rd parties better. Problem solved.
Yes. I was actually fairly excited to see the Airpod announcement because it might inspire more companies to release wireless earbuds (that don't have to go inside your ear canal and block outside noise)...

There are plenty of cheap, great sounding earbuds out there (Head-Fi has a whole 1000+ page thread discussing them: http://www.head-fi.org/t/441400/earbuds-round-up), but literally none of them are wireless. Right now I'm resorting to hacks like using earbuds with removable cables and bluetooth cable replacements like these: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/New-Custom-Made-Wireless-Blu...
Didn't you mix up the goal and the result?

As a fellow (though happy) SaaS owner I'm trying to imagine being in your shoes. My goal is spending my time on something (~a problem) that interests me and hearing that customers benefit from what I offer. I think that is the awesome part of it.

This results in freedom and earning money, among other things. I don't earn as much as you but I care very little as long as I can do the above. Obviously you need to be able to cover your expenses, but that's another story.

I couldn't imagine starting this with the goal of working as little as possible while getting paid as much as possible. I don't know if that is what you are saying, but I hear this sometimes.

Am I getting too philosophical about it?

Show HN: The hilarious yo-yo of my HN karma
I've been tracking my karma with a pule bot (gopule.com) and it's been really addicting watching my karma rise and fall over time.

I didn't realize how my karma breathes so organically throughout the day. I wonder if it's due to different waves of the world waking up and agreeing/disagreeing with me.

I've done this exact thing with my second DIR825-C1, with a 5 GHz uplink. It works well as long as there aren't too many obstacles between the two boxes. Aside from acting as a repeater, I can plug wired devices into the second unit as well.
I had to stop and think... Concealed where?

:)
Suggestions:

1. Do a list results view like Google - you're competing on so many levels that you don't want to challenge standards unless you have massive justifications that you're UX is better. I don't think the tiles are better and even if they were a little better it wouldn't be enough to challenge the paradigm.

2. Can you (or do you) restrict search results that have a high AdBlock/PrivacyBadger score? I've always wanted that so much more than I'm concerned about my privacy vis-a-vis my search engine provider?
May i ask what is the benefit of using your own as well as an outside solution?
And people laugh at the chemtrail folks... All of this research is taking place right in the open.
Do you really believe what Google is reporting? Haha, its just been masked under other compay. Fake news from Google, thats what it is only.
As someone who's had to deal with Cisco WLCs/APs, I can't imagine anything more complicated and frustrating to set up and use. Can't download or upload configuration backups without a TFTP or FTP server, the interface is a mess to try to navigate, there's a lot of Cisco-specific terminology that isn't explained so you end up spending a lot of time googling terms to find out that they're things you knew about already.

Then there's running the things. Switching to 40Hz channels screwed up our wireless network until I discovered that iOS devices have problems with bonded channels with upper control. An easy fix usually, but the WLC doesn't give you the option to prefer one or the other; it just randomly picks a channel and then pairs it with the associated channel however. Now I have a dozen APs and I have to manually assign the channels on each one because if I set it to auto it chooses an upper channel 50% of the time.

I had an issue for a while where the APs weren't passing broadcast traffic on my LAN. After a long search, I found tons of documentation on enabling multicast (didn't help), Bonjour caching (wasn't relevant), and so on. What actually fixed it was enabling HREAP on my WLAN, for some reason.

Cisco stuff is probably great if you're spending tens of thousands of dollars and you're a Cisco-certified engineer, or if you're the kind of person to plug everything in and not change any checkboxes you don't have to, but for managing it in an office it's been a frustrating disaster.
The perfect password manager
Yes. I am my boss's only employee, and I only work part-time while studying. Before he hired me, it was just him. We develop software for the real estate industry for property management and trust accounting. We have one major client that we work with directly, and we have a specific version of our software that we only supply to them. We also have a partnership with another company overseas who we license our software to, while they handle client relations and support.

It appears to working out quite well for him, as he is currently on holiday overseas.

I believe this is connected to stagnant wages (which starts in 1970s for Americans), with a catch.

My hypothesis:

1. Counterintuitively, bad economic circumstances don't lead to chronic stress. People in countries with objectively terrible economic conditions are not more stressed or unhappier. It is simply: 'life'.

2. Caveat: Bad economic conditions do cause chronic stress where the media is projecting an illusion of rising success and wealth for the average person. This is because large numbers of people begin to feel left behind, even though most of their 'successful' peers are probably in debt to their eyeballs. Chronic stress is caused by the constant reminders in the form of fraudulent statistics, advertisements and social conditioning by fictional television shows that cause them to compare their circumstances to largely imaginary ideals.

My solution, which sounds drastic but I believe it to be meritorious, is to ban television (but we can keep the Nature channels). I believe a large number of social ills shall mostly disappear once this is accomplished.

So not "into the outdoors" that you don't go outside? I think the point is find an environment that you are "into". Like being inside? Like being dry and listening to music while you lift weights or use the Stairmonster? Then do that, no shame, no excuses need be made.

But most people, my self included, don't particularly enjoy being in a gym (I'd rather run in a blizzard than on a treadmill, and my wife will tell you that she's witnessed my sincerity with her own eyes). I think the parent's point was, if you're not really "into the indoors", then don't go to the gym. If a gym suits you, then go do that.

Slack calls have been broken in linux for a while--even though they worked when calling first launched. Is a fix for that on the horizon?
I'd say that's one of two elephants in the room, the other being rampant racism.
My team uses Screenhero on a daily basis because it's the only screen sharing software we've found that lets us all point (and drive) without having to wait turns or specifically request control. Unfortunately, it has a host of issues and we end up having to restart our daily meeting call several times each day because of them.

I'd hoped that Slack buying them would result in a more polished product, but I haven't heard a thing about it since the acquisition.
Amazon will be willing to take the risk to avoid the trucking unions. FedEx is pretty forward thinking and might also be willing to take the risk since they self insure. Same with UPS.

Once those folks prove that it works and it's safer than a human, the other companies will quickly fall as the insurance rates become lower than a human driven truck.
That's what people said five years ago. I am sure something will happen eventually, but it will take longer than people expect and the results will never be as good as people are currently fantasizing that they might be. We'll get to "good enough" but never to "great".

When I worked at $BIGCORP we had filers from $FILER_COMPANY. $FOUNDER of $FILER_COMPANY lived in hawaii, and if the filer was bad enough, you pulled the plug, mailed the drives to hawaii, and eventually would get a tape back with the data.

>further, all the arguments against this interpretation assume that those introducing security vulnerabilities for surveillance purposes abide by some kind of logic

Of course they do. You may disagree with the logic, but it's there. Vectors of intelligence gathering have to be both sufficiently covert and useful for an agency to consider. This vulnerability is neither.
Thanks for the feedback, my original sentence may have been a bit hasty, but the core of the message is there. I see Canonical's role as the expediter/server in a kitchen instead of donning another chef hat when dish are piling up to go out.

I'm not familiar with China's system. But let's not pretend a lottery based system, where the only thing that decides whether you can stay in the country or not, is random number generation, like H1-B is great.
Congrats on your success! A few questions...

Why electron over native?

How large in scope is your program?

How large in scope was your program when you first started?

Is it just one program and domain or have you diversified to different areas?
My first thought was agriculture...
There's plenty of reasons to think that. For instance, it's well studied that people value leisure time at the same time as everyone else does. Having your time off disconnected from that of your social circle causes a lot of isolation. Since social circles interconnect with each other, we end up with a single major leisure window, and a set of people in relatively low paying jobs that are stuck working at different times. Those jobs often have out of band vacation days precisely so that they can still participate in regular social life some of the time.

We can make many technological changes in the world. Some will be huge. However changes that rely on humanity not being social are just very unlikely.
Demand for new cars will fall off a cliff.

Another fairly major flaw with zip is a lack of a defined encoding on filenames. As far as I can tell, it's impossible to 100% reliably include non-ASCII filenames inside a zip. (Probably because the format predates unicode's general acceptance.)

The timelessness of the promises made in this specification are very interesting to me.

To me as well. Reading the PDF, it reminds me of WinFS, which I worked on. (Though I don't remember WinFS's collaboration story.)

Dreaming in Code [1] is a great book about Kapor's attempt to build such an open source platform, post-Notes. I strongly recommend it to anyone interested in the problem space.

A more idealistic (and younger) version of me would love to help build an open platform...

This is still my dream. :)
I was in good company - Mitch Kapoor says something very similar in the design doc:

"Notes should stand in relation to word- and idea-oriented tasks as 1-2-3 stands in relation to number-oriented tasks."
A remember the stories of people receiving paycheck and not having to report to anyone. I'm on the consulting side so I often forget there are people who don't track every second of their day and get scrutinized for merely working 40 hours.
Because most of the world speaks English... Did you not understand that about the comment you're replying to?
This post and the follow up comment "talk to sales" costs your company a lot of credibility.

Your post gives prescriptive conclusions not supported by the data presented. Of the data that you did analyze, we're given so few numbers actually published that everyone is forced to question the fundamental methodology, even that is not clearly stated. The specific critique is to make well-founded claims.

We have a hard rule that you do not commit code that doesn't pass unit tests.

This leads to bad coders not being able to commit as frequently as good coders.

However, this seems like a very, very loose heuristic.
If you check, you see that they have only been driving in limited parts of the journey (the easiest parts obviously).

It's not an end to end trip.

The cars are also unable to handle unexpected changes in traffic lights, or road signage.

They are very very far from being able to drive entirely independently.
Most interesting part: it has Java APIs for direct access to hardware over GPIO, PWM, UART, SPI, I2C. The intention is that all device access happens from application-level Java code, not at the kernel/HAL/framework level. This means devices will get kernel/framework updates directly from Google, no OEM in-between.

> Note: You cannot customize the behavior of device drivers in the Linux kernel or Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) to add new functionality to a device.

Manual overrides (or 'defensive' mode) needs to be available. Or carjackers will simply be able to stand in the road and wait.
Weird, I've literally never used a landmark and drop pins 100% of the time. I've been taking 2-6 Uber rides a week for about three years. I've never had a problem.
I don't know of anyone who was saying self driving is only five years away in 2011. It was still a fantasy then.

Now we actually have working software and hardware, and real people are experiencing self driving. I live in the bay area, but not a month goes by that I don't see a self driving vehicle at some point. And that's not counting the Teslas that are autopiloting their way down the highway next to me that I don't even know about.
What I learned about China by searching for the world’s rarest bird
Unfortunately, I'd expect a reactive response to this issue.
Yeah, God knows that I only learn tools that I can use at any time, anywhere, on any hypothetical machine. Not the machines I actually own, but ANY MACHINE EVER.

This smells like confirmation bias to me.
This is an N of one but, I use either Uber or Lyft to and from work every day. People get used to it. I find it far more pleasant than a crowded and dirty bus or train. Even when the car is small and full, the car usually smells better, is cleaner and oddly feels like there are more defined boundaries than a bus or train seat when crowded.

Everyone has their own door as well so there isn't as much jostling past and touching and being touched by strangers even in a full car.

The only time I've ever taken an Uber or Lyft and I not have my own door and/or I've had to scoot past people is in large party situation and those other people were my friends.

I've talked to women and they seem to prefer an Uber or Lyft over taking the train and/or the bus. Also, being dropped off at your destination rather than walking a few blocks from a metro stop to where you are going also makes a massive difference.

The benefits really outweigh the drawbacks. Especially if this is cheaper than owning one's own car. In theory, a private automated car service (calling a car and being the only rider) would still be cheaper than owning a private car and still have the same conveniences. It's just that eventually it will basically just be 4x cheaper to share a ride.
You can set line numbers in vim to be relative, then there's no counting involved.

I am an Indian in the US. I get the general idea of what you are saying, but I should note that it has a strong implicit assumption of a very liberal community. In such communities (say in SF or NYC), I am welcomed pretty warmly. On the other hand, in a bunch of mostly male, middle-aged, Christian tech people in Middle America, I am regarded with a mildly welcoming/neutral attitude at best and open hostility that is leaning-towards-but-not-exactly-racism at the worst.

So this "advantage" you mention is somewhat double-edged depending upon where you are.
Not to mention that for a lot of routers, DD-WRT (and the like) will install and boot and work but they won't support all of the features; I've heard quite a few cases where AC routers would only work in N mode, or where you could set options that the hardware didn't support (and thus wouldn't take effect), and so on.

It's not their fault, necessarily; it's one team which has to maintain support for effectively hundreds of devices, and that's pretty complicated. Still, there isn't a lot of obvious warning that 'hey, a bunch of what makes your router great isn't going to work if you install this so that might not be what you want.'

My E4200 was a great example. Got it because it was well-reviewed and supported DD-WRT and the like, but changed back to the stock firmware because DD-WRT was unstable and slow. After a week of frustrating performance issues and iffy connectivity, I refreshed with the stock firmware and everything was suddenly behaving the way it should. The same thing happened with my R6250; flashed, had problems, unfleshed.

DD-WRT seems like a good way to extend the life and usefulness of existing routers, and not a way to make the latest technology work even better; in my experience, it tends to have the exact opposite effect.
Relatively minor, nobody's talking about blocking 50% of the sunlight, more like 1-2%.

Pretty straightforward for direct photovoltaic generation, but the wider consequences on the (very complicated) Earth system are hard to say. Would it affect wind patterns (and wind power generation as a result)? What about plants/animals/agriculture?
