Just checked your site. It's well put together but the language is far too technical for AdWords. Engineers don't usually make the kind of business decisions to buy these things at larger companies, it's VP level people.

Find your kinds of customers and tailor a landing page with stuff that they want, instead of having the site explain everything like a users manual.

Ex: Calls centers do not care at all about the other uses for your product, so for ads for "call center phone systems" don't show them any of that.

You can leave the existimg content there, it will help with SEO and people that want to look deeper. Just make sure the first few pages from ads are exactly what they're looking for and nothing else. They will read more into it if they're interested.

The big thing you're running into is bounce rates because most visitors spend 30 seconds or less deciding if your product is what they want. If you can't convince them "yes, it's perfect" in three sentences most will leave. The easiest and surprisingly effective way to do this is to make the title of the page huge and make it match their search query exactly.

Your sales site should focus on uses, not features. Nobody cares about anything technical so take off the stuff about being built in Node etc... The people looking to buy this don't even know what that is. Too many words they don't know is scary, maybe this isn't what they're looking for.

Dumb down everything so that moronic managers will forward a link to your site to the guys that actually know wtf you're talking about :)
There is actually quite a debate around this now. Modern english is much closer to "scandinavian" than old english in sentence construction, so the new thesis is that old english words were adopted by the norse rulers into the norse/scandinavian language.

It has later been "perverted" by the french ;)

However I do not think this theory would fly in England even if the logic is sound due to nationalistic pride.

"A number of developers from RedHat were once very involved in the project. However, these developers had a very arrogant attitude towards Docker: They wanted docker changed so that it would follow their design ideas for RHEL and systemd. They often made pull requests with poorly written and undocumented code and then they became very agressive when those pull requests were not accepted, saying "we need this change we will ship a patched version of Docker and cause you problems on RHEL if you don't make this change in master." They were arogant and agressive, when at the same time, they had the choice of working with the Docker developers and writting quality code that could actually be merged. Another thing they often said was along the lines of "systemd is THE ONE AND ONLY INIT SYSTEM so why do you care about writing code that might be portable?" Or "even though the universal method works with systemd now. A redesign has already been planned in systemd, so do it the new systemd way and don't be portable."(This is in response to the fact that Docker writes to cgroups, and systemd would like to be the "sole writter to cgroups" some time in the future.) I think everyone got fed up with those people, and Docker has rightly pushed them out."

I agree for the most part, but i also hope that my rant helps to put this thought into peoples heads. With several smaller providers i had to talk to when i lost my number it became clear they simply did not spend a single thought on this edge case yet. Some of them now have a workflow to solve this cases, which is really all i am asking for.

With SANS, the iops budget is a function of your hardware config. If you want more IOPS, you get more RAM/SSD involved. More importantly, Amazon gets to sell EBS on their terms: a specific amount of IOPS with a specific amount of storage. If you want more IOPS, you have to buy more EBS. The "wasted storage" you're thinking of would be on your instance using EBS, not EBS itself.

This assumption of missing knowledge and handing out of an "exercise" in logical thinking comes across rather patronising.
Also I'm not sure where the argument was, that you found a fallacy in.

Thank you for your contribution, nevertheless. I too believe that the decision on whether to use a tool or not, depends on your knowledge about it.

Shame on the big providers to force this dilemma on us.

I bet that's not the whole story. There was a reason they were lazy in the first place, but I bet there's another reason why they stay lazy. Punishing decentralization is a great way to get more users, after all: sent from gmail? works. Sent from little provider? Doesn't work.

The only way out of this I see right now is the generalization of the Freedom Box. Though even then, one would need to run protests to be able to send email from home. Between ISP wide firewalls, interdictions on home servers (by contract with some ISP), or the blacklisting of all residential IPs (Hotmail), it will take a lot of collective action before we can send mail from home again.
A related question from an ignorant: How to do this correctly in a javascript library? E.g. I was working on a tiny js library which uses flickr API to fetch images from a specific album and having a separate server just to serve flickr API key or talk to flickr API seems quite an overkill?
Yes! I read it about 5 years after finishing my degree (which already covered many of the topics in depth), and it was very enjoyable. It gives a very good, succinct (if simplified) overview of computer architecture.

The Anglo-Saxons lived in England before the Vikings arrived. So no, they are two distinct languages. The Angles and the Saxons came from Northern Germany, long before the Vikings decided to invade. The Viking invasion was significant, heavily influencing English society and language. Many old towns in England still have the old Norse town ending -by.

Effectively, there are three main sources for English:

* The Anglo-Saxons, arriving around the time where the Romans left.

* The Vikings, arriving around 800-1000.

* The Normans, arriving around 1066.

Not that English haven't changed significantly since then, but these three periods represent the largest number of words increases. The other changes have primarily been spelling.
Sounds strange to me that Danish rulers would import back sentence construction with such gusto all the way back to eastern Sweden? Is it not more likely the Danish sentence construction filtered down into common English with time?
Are you using long, automatically generated passwords? I've had two very similar Google accounts that I log in at the same time on PCs, and one account with a 15 char password kept wanting additional checks. It stopped when I changed the password to 16 chars.
It's possible that you didn't find: http://www.fieggen.com/shoelace/create-a-lace.htm which strongly hints at them being algorithmically generated either up-front or JIT.
A friend of mine switched their mobile phone number but forgot to change it in their Microsoft account. Now they can't completely use it because their is a one month waiting period to get the new number accepted without validating the account with the old number. Thankfully you can add also email addresses for that but we forgot that.
However, e.g. whitehouse.gov refers to "President Clinton" in its description (for the act of being born, not for his active role as president).

https://www.whitehouse.gov/1600/presidents/williamjclinton

Where I live, Finland, a "President" is the official title for former presidents (there are now three alive) so I should actually address them as such. The current one is formally referred to as "President of the Republic". I can't really check how this is with Russia.

I dont. I live in Thailand right now, tomorrow maybe in Vietnam. Right now i might be a edge case but remote work is growing fast.

You can create throwaway SMS numbers for a few cents with several online providers, some even accept Bitcoin payments and dont ask for a name and Twitter accepts them happily. Its just the third party provider they use that did not implement that specific carrier yet.

Edit:// Also i am curious now why you think i had a thai phone number while living in switzerland? :D There are countries like austria that dont even ask for a passport for prepaid directly next to it, why would i go thai?

Sure, let's talk about average Joe content with Starbucks. Maybe the problem isn't that Joe just doesn't know any better. Maybe the problem is that Joe actually likes Starbucks coffee. I mean, people rag on Starbucks all day long, and I'm sure Starbucks cries all the way to the bank. If I were you trying to attract Joe, I'd think very specifically about the qualities of Starbucks coffee and being that but better. And if you can't fathom the idea of debasing yourself, I guess try to get out and find people who actually really like it and talk to them about it.

But let's talk about me for a moment.
The idea that I (or Joe for that matter) just need to be educated to be brought over to the shining holy light is a bit perverse. I've been there and done that already. I've traveled the coffee world, from the US to Colombia to Morocco to Italy to Jamaica to Vietnam, and had coffee from dozens of people who "No really, this time we mean it" care about fondling every bean from dirt to drink and who think it makes an iota of difference outside of their dreams. Excepting the arabic coffee method, which I'm not talking about here, it just doesn't mean much. It makes fine coffee, sure, maybe, but it doesn't make memorable coffee. Only one coffee bean I've ever had was actually memorable. It sticks with me everywhere I go after hundreds of different coffees. When I go to a new country or city I go way out of my way to find it. Only one. And it's not because someone is best buddies with the farmer.

Now we can get back to Joe. Maybe what Joe likes about Starbucks coffee is that their preparations, for all of the hemming and hawing about how they ruin their beans or spoil the experience by self-professed coffee devotees, are actually memorable. If you want to target Joe, maybe start with a coffee that Joe and I don't have to already love. It's not my child, it's my drink.

Honestly though, SMD is not that difficult once you learn the technique. If you can handle screen-printing a t-shirt, you can handle the hardest part of doing SMD properly: using a mask/screen to deposit solder paste onto the PCB is just as simple as a screen-print for t-shirts, and once that is done its just a matter of having a patient hand for parts placement, stick it in the oven, and off you go .. a lot easier than you might think, at first.
Also remember the Normands spoke not only French but some kind of Norse. Still in Normandy there are Norse/Scandinavian names for places. Besides, Saxon and Norse languages must've been pretty mutually intelligible, even today German and Swedish is pretty similar even with a millennium or two apart.

A lot of services use Authy, where you also "easily" can change your phone number. But it also takes 2 weeks, for someone that moves country monthly is just a suboptimal solution.

Re-frame provides a very sane model for producing even complex applications. The clear separation of responsibilities and the simple data-flow (esp. once effects & co-effects come into the picture) are a powerful combination. While I have wryly observed its hegemony, good taste forbears any significant use of Javascript. ClojureScript + Re-frame make browser based development fun.
There is no other way. You can't do any IP blocking as it is a client side web app, and as it is a client side web app, all data and strings will be available to the users.
I imagine however that a small wrapper won't be too hard to write. Make sure you add a good limit on it though (based on user, ip, (or a combo), whatever fits so yours is not used to freely access Flickr)
No. For instance, shirt is from Old English, while its cognate skirt is from Old Norse. We gained quite a bit of vocabulary from the Danelaw, and lost a lot of the grammatical complexity (gender and inflection) at the same time. Apart from vocabulary, French barely touched the English language; it was the Vikings that messed things up terribly by settling in with the common folk up north.

This is a surprise... how?

I mean, people don't trust businesses because it feels like the majority of large ones are skirting the law and getting away with questionable crap by lobbying government figures. They don't trust the media because it feels like it's acting in the interests of the rich and powerful. Same deal with government, which is why Brexit happened and Trump became president. And NGOs are seen as having the same issues as businesses.

So of course no one trusts them. Because most people (quite rightly) can't see any reason to. Their past track record suggests they don't have the majority's interests in mind.

Seems like you know quite a bit about the subject. Would you care to enlighten us with lesser knowledge about how <y> came from <ð> instead of <þ>?

The article says “ðe” became “ye” because of the voicing, but you say voicing plays no part – so as an amateur linguist I'm already confused.

Was “the” originally spelled “þe” instead of “ðe”?

Ask HN: Are programmer salaries expected to drastically drop in the near future?
Essentially my question is related to whether there is a saturation of programmers in progress right now?

Looking at freelancing sites it seems that programmers from many regions come to work for ridiculously low rates. As programming is considered one of the more rewarding jobs regarding payment (at least in developing countries like mine), it makes me wonder whether this state will remain as it is now, or we should be expecting that it will fall apart, essentially putting programming jobs back to the same level with other day-to-day jobs.
Ask HN: How to start a career as a generalist?
Hi,

Once I'm in a company I can make myself very useful by analysing, abstracting problems and telling people what they want from each other when they are having discussions and filling any gaps in front-end development. But because I'm no specialist in anything I find it hard to get my foot in the door. I could specialize or qualify in programing more, but I prefer the management and product owner work.

I'm 28, close to finishing my studies in "media and fine art" where I focused on experimental informatics, more precisely news distribution in the internet, interfaces and haptic feedback.

Wherever I worked I joined for some rather low-skill work and quickly become the one to organize at least the conceptual or technical aspects of the project.¹

I freelance doing some custom wordpress sites (those where you do need to write a bit of php) or small web implementations and work in a 3-4 person startup (unfunded, but self-sustaining by side-gigs). At the startup there is not much pay and I do some communications with customers and concept, design and frontend of a cordova/angular app. If this startup succeeds, I will most likely float on top and have a nice job, but not much equity.

Now the question: Where to go from here? The launch date for the first project of the startup is immanent, so I'll see how that performs soon. There is of course a lot of reason for doubt as with any startup, so I plan to look for a better payed job.

Thanks so much for the help!

¹ This way I went from flash animations (a few years back) for our client BMW to writing the specifications for a new outsourced MVP in one company (they offered me to become CTO on paper for the new child-startup, but for laughable pay). In another gig I moved from assistance to technical supervision of a short-film festival sponsored by the german state television.
If I'm understanding you correctly, you're saying that evolution is a tautological collapse of the "why" in "why do we exist".

Let me explain: evolution is a massive, groping search in the ultrahigh dimensional space of possible organisms, one that is solving for fitness by literally obliterating less fit entities from existence. So fitness is actually just "what is good at existing", which, given enough iterations, will determine what actually exists anyway.

So now we can simply substitute in the answer to the question "why do we exist?": We exist because we evolved, which is like saying, we exist because we are fit, which is like saying, we exist because we exist. And that explanational ouroboros sort of levitates before us, a silent, immutable feature of the universe: we are here because we exist, because we exist, because...

And it's so easy for us to make that small, seductive step to saying that our existence is therefore inevitable. But I think that's a mistake. The tautology doesn't answer the why question; it annihilates it, dissolving the teleological question into its mechanistic refutation: WE. ARE. HERE.

The "trick" is to never change your laptop/desktop and phone at once so you can always verify the other. At best, if you travel, have a old computer somewhere that someone else can access to verify when needed.

Its not perfect, and i still have bad dreams about loosing access and no googler ever going to help me. But on the other side when someone accesses my account somehow, i know nothing happens and they get locked out.

I move country and change internet regularly, and i am glad this is not a reason to lock my account like with many providers who have less advanced tactics.
