As someone who has worked at a bootstrapped B2B FLOSS company in the ERP/database domain I think taking/relying on venture capital is a dangerous model in that domain. I feel like the best options are:

1) Don't build a company around your FLOSS project, accept it'll be free in all senses forever

2) Start with a customer that will finance you and build slowly (focus on profit not revenue)

That's obviously not very helpful as finding that one customer is the really hard part so it's usually a hybrid of expecting what you build to be free forever and then finding that one customer.
Quote/Charge a lot. Nope more than that. Now double the price and you're roughly there.

On the plus side you'll get very enthusiastic developers that tend to be intrinsically motivated which is a huge plus once you can build that company. I'd argue that this is one of the key competitive advantages of a "FLOSS company"

When it comes to new customers...Always be aware that you're not selling your cool tech but rather selling the solution to a specific problem (basically you're selling pain-easing medicine). I feel like it is beneficial to visualize a somewhat mean guy at the other end of the table who is only thinking this one line over and over "enough with the nerd speak, how does it help me and does it roughly cost what I expect it to cost". Yes we like to imagine that we can impress people with nifty tech details and shudder that the competition might be "that horrible Oracle database every developer hates".
Hand in hand with this...charge a lot. The price serves as a signal. Just assume that evil guy you're talking to only cares about getting back to that golf course and won't even look at the number that closely as long as it's fitting his expectation. Yes that means charging too little can kill your deal.
With this general direction languages are taking with openly accessible compiler and language services, I wonder if RMS will ever reconsider his service-hostile approach he has forced onto GCC.

When every language and every editor supports this protocol, who's going to want to use GCC for anything, when it's as closed (and thus relatively useful) as a brick?

Since discovering paredit-mode, I have found a whole new love for Lisp syntax, and now I won't write Lisp without it.

I have tried a structure editor for Haskell but I found it pretty counterintuitive. I wonder if structure editing just assumes a language with very little syntax.
I'll give you that. In my case, a lot of what we do is look for numbers and how well it fits our main application area.
You definitely have a valid point here though.

That actually goes hand in hand with "users look like customers". Also: "Not every customer is a good customer."

I never see any banners on Imgur. I block banners.

What Extratorrents and The Pirate Bay do tho seems to be something akin to clickjacking. I click on a link to a torrent search result (or a download link), a tab opens, and it immediately closes. Rest assured this generates them money.
> This way you get rid of the knowledge of who-downloaded-what, and also save some bandwidth.

I don't get this. It's a magnet link with magnet protocol. It will be handled by your torrent client, no additional request to the server whatsoever if you click on them. It's the same as plain text copying, but more convenient.
Thanks for all the hard work! I use Krita because it's simply the best tool I've found for painting - that's a big accomplishment.

> People wanted RethinkDB to be fast on workloads they actually tried, rather than "real world" workloads we suggested.

> For example, they'd write quick scripts to measure how long it takes to insert ten thousand documents without ever reading them back.

> MongoDB mastered these workloads brilliantly, while we fought the losing battle of educating the market.

I was one of the people who did this and I'd like to provide you another take away:

Don't tell people what "real world" workloads are. They know better than you do. When I presented my performance testing scripts to you guys it was a replication of our real world workload. Trying to explain to someone that their workload isn't "real world" hurts the confidence in the system. Its better to either say that isn't a workload you are optimized for or that you are working on it.

That being said, I'm now building a start-up and using RethinkDB because it is the best system out there! My performance requirements for a start-up are significantly different than the billion dollar survey company I used to work for ;) But I'd also like to commend you on the performance you've achieved with RethinkDB in general, it has come a long way and any company would be happy to hit the scale that RethinkDB has issues with!

>> "Theologians" never invent or bring anything to the table, which God has not already made clear.

> "That is a religious viewpoint, a leap of faith"

No, it reflects an understanding of the scientific method, which makes no claim to have any tools or ability to study the supernatural. Or do you disagree as to the limits and scope of science? Science is limited to the study of the natural world, which includes the study of history (according to the historical method).

"From a rational perspective, there is no reason to think God put anything special in the Bible."

By logic, that is false. If, the supernatural (should it exist) wished to break into the natural world by working events and leaving information which humans could study and understand and be sure of in terms of history, then so be it, but you have no rational ability to challenge that right. Or have you already disallowed the possibility of the supernatural or precluded any ability on its part? As Paul said to Agrippa in his defence, "why would any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead?"

You do however, have the scientific ability to study history, to see if such events have not in fact taken place. History is the study of events, regardless of the "probability" of such events. Only a frequentist would hold that an event cannot happen because they themselves deem it unlikely. To the historian, events either happened or they did not.

Finally, as a corollary, it follows that there is also no scientific ability to disprove anything supernatural (as much as some naturalists would love to do), merely to prove it, and then only on the basis of its interaction with the natural world which can be studied by science. Carl Sagan would tell you the same thing.

The problem for some is that they are hampered by naturalist philosophy (as opposed to science) or frequentism, or their lifestyle or worldview, or what others think of them. As Jesus himself said to the religious Pharisees who opposed him: "How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?"

You'd be much better off earning less in the southeast or midwest and living big.

I recently bought a fairly expensive house and happily sacrificed square feet for a shorter commute and being closer to the city center. We looked at several houses that where in the 2000-3000 sq ft range and most felt way to big for what we needed/wanted. A smaller house was at no point in the process seen as a negative. We eventually got a house that's just under 1500 sq ft with a small, but very nice, garden and we've so far not once wished that it was bigger (although we might add a small conservatory, bringing it to just over 1500 sq ft). Bigger house just means more work keeping it cleaned and maintained. Living in a huge house far out in some dull suburb with a long commute to work sounds like my perfect nightmare.

As for our 'financial' reasoning. It was a house we really wanted to live in, in an area we really wanted to live in and we could afford it, so we bought it.

Ask HN: What risks are associated with using a country code top-level domain?
Apologies for the basic question, I'm a newbie. I'm considering a site name that includes a ccTLD - possibly the ".am" (Armenia) extension. But I'm concerned about outages like ".ly" (Libya) extensions experienced a few years back, and also whether using a ccTLD introduces data privacy/security risks relative to .com or .net. What should I be worried about, and how can these risks be managed?

We could go on like that for hours with this sizing contest. I do not expect to convince you. You will, if you put the time and effort into it, find other studies saying the opposite (although being less sexy for publishers, they will be harder to find). If you are somewhat knowledgeable in the field of statistics, please take a look a the numbers, as I am quite sure you will find them appalling (19% of study population missing outcome data and 27.9% underpowered studies, anyone?)

I think what's chilling is the inconsistent application of the law regarding sensitive information (for example, emails).

Secretary of State Clinton, who deletes government emails and communicates state secrets through her own private email server, receives no punishment, while people who blow the whistle on questionable government behavior receive maximum punishment.

That lack of consistency in applying the law is what makes it unfair...for everybody.

Just like there really is a Ping Pong pizza restaurant, there is a Super PAC called "Correct the Record"

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Correct_the_Record

As the name suggests, they thought that trolls spreading lies was a problem, and they tried to "correct the record".

In the darker corners of Reddit on the other hand, every opinion that disagrees with them is written by a shill funded by George Soros, who in their version is a Nazi collaborator, rather than a victim of the Nazis.

The fact is that the average American is fairly "liberal" by many measures. Lots of Democrat policies have broad support. Democrats have been winning the popular vote for a while. Elections with high turnouts favor Democrats etc. etc. Republicans win via the standard political strategies rather than by reflecting the will of the people.

And that's all Americans. Reddit is obviously going to have even more liberal voices due to the demographics. We don't need to invoke a conspiracy theory to figure out why someone would call out a false right-wing talking point on Reddit.

>> If you need a house to live in, the monthly rent for a 1MM house is likely going to be over $3k.Over 30 years this will come out to be $1.08M, much more than the $870k in mortgage interest + taxes for owning the house

Over 30 years, if house prices go down due to whatever reason, so will rents (more or less). Homeowners will be underwater and suck up all the downside risk. Renters will remain free of crushing debt.

The only way homeowners are protected is if the house appreciates enough to eat up that downside risk before a future catastrophe arrives, right?
I mentioned once that I was a researcher (not medicine) to someone at a hospital when making smalltalk over the time my wife was in hospital giving birth. She got all excited and started explaining her issues with a research supervisor or something who she didn't agree with on methodology. She said something to the effect of 'what does this old guy know of modern research! Nowadays it's all about evidence based research! I found it right here in this book, how much more evidence does he want!'

I pretty much literally facepalmed; luckily she interpreted that as agreeing with her...

[Feel free to change do not to don't. Torrents and Javascript may be capitalised or not.]

This is a clean, ad-free, privacy focused torrent search engine. Like Google/Yahoo but just for torrents (at least for now). This project is still under heavy development. Feedback is welcome, please report any problems or bugs.

We do not track users in any form and therefore. We do not use cookies or javascript in any form. We do not sell any data to anyone.

The entire project is maintained up to date by smart software. Manual intervention is limited but still there. Every hour hundreds of new torrents are discovered and made available for search purposes.

This is currently in beta testing. You can send feedbacks or report any problems to admin (at) skytorrents.in.

Note: Any mails which do not use PGP are discarded by automated software.

I also wasn't able to find description of WhatsApp key changing procedure, and intuitively it would be more than strange not to require new identity key be signed with previous one.
I was working in a company where we built a new backend system and had the opportunity to chose the technologies we'd use. I was constantly looking at rethinkdb waiting for them to tell me "Yes, you can use this now," however their blog posts and announcements constantly had the underlying message of being in some kind of alpha or beta state.

Admittedly, that was a few years back, so that could have been true then, but the feeling stuck with me and I just stopped taking it seriously.

The problem is that they got a lot of attention early on and expectations were huge and instead of building some hype around it, they were actually too honest. In hindsight I, as an engineer, would have probably done the same, so I think there are some valuable lessons there about marketing and human psychology. At least that part the people at MongoDB did brilliantly.
Selecting and copying are both definitely trackable.

That's what I understood too. AFAIK, they only could 'break' contact, and not control the actual public identity key, so no way to read user messages.
What I would do in Incognito, etc. would depend on the website/app and use-case. The point was that handling that on a case by case basis makes more sense than the suggested silent (and I would say unexpected) behavioural change.

Of course it's political. Western culture has moved away from glorifying the nuclear family as the ideal way of living, so generations are being brought thinking that having a family is not all that important.

I believe that a lot of issues like this (with depressed and drugged out single moms, etc) could have been avoided if more people realized that having a tightly knit nuclear family is definitely worth striving for. And that a lot of the cultural changes over the past decades (the promotion of promiscuity and other forms of social liberalism) are not really progressive in terms of improving the quality of life within our society as a whole.
