It happens, especially when working for a real [ie., risky] startup. Even though it feels personal, it's not.

First, work on your stress level. Health coverage needs to be addressed soon. Look up COBRA and the grace period, that should give you some peace of mind. Look at your bank account. Hopefully you have some savings.

Next, keep in mind that it's easier to find a job when you already have one, than if you are unemployed. So activate your network. Did your startup have competitors or partners? They may be interested in your experience. Ping you college friends. Where are they now?

Not if you ask USPS. They aren't supposed to cross-subsidize using services they have a monopoly on (first class and standard mail which includes bulk advertising). Awhile back UPS, FedEx, and others asked the Postal Regulatory Commission to look into whether or not they are doing that. I'm not sure if anything ever came of it.
Where are you located? What skills do you have to offer? What are you interested in doing?
At the same time, metadata collection via a gag-ordered pen register on Signal is still possible in principle, this would just make it slurpable by existing prism type tools potentially already operating on iCloud. Those truly concerned with metadata should go to Tor, and not use signal, independent of this feature.

I expect this is another case of UX/Security tradeoffs considerately made by OWS. Having native OS integration is nice, and probably the right answer for most users.

> the marginal cost for additional channels is near zero.

Is this really true? Setting aside barney54's ESPN example, I'd think that the emphasis in our current society on monetizing intellectual property would impose an artificial marginal cost for many service providers.

I've never worked _in_ any of the major networks or cable companies, so I could be entirely wrong, but the idea that channels present a low marginal cost to networks goes against my intuition when contrasted against e.g. Netflix/Hulu/Amazon's tendencies to cycle shows and films for cost cutting.
It's plain hard because the moment the browser blocks some of the fingerprinting techniques, the fingerprint developers will look for something else and move on. Just like spam and ads, it's an arms race.
In addition to the excellent advice here:

Take a moment and feel really good about the work you did, even if the company didn't succeed. Celebrate that you probably contributed a lot to making a small startup survive for as long as it did. Acknowledge that was in some part due to you, and then write down the things you felt most proud of.

Keep that paper with you every time you interview, so you are reminded that you did good work, and have a positive story about why you will bring a lot of value to your next role
You have a limited timeframe to select health care insurance continuation under COBRA. You should at least explore what the cost would be -- it may be better than what you can find on your own.

Regardless, right now, you may be ok in the following regard, in the short term. But with the ACA on the chopping block, one thing that has been recommended already by... "those in the know" is to make sure you maintain continuity of coverage.

One of the things the ACA has eliminated is exclusion for prior conditions. But that may not survive. And should it not, resulting limitations can apply even if you end up getting insurance through another employer. You might get insurance, but with limitations. In the past, before the ACA, demonstrating continuity of coverage helped avoid such limitations. If/when the ACA dies, this is likely to be pertinent and important, once again.

Ending the ACA means the end of much more than just the marketplace insurance plans and tax rebates. The health care insurance situation in the U.S. is likely to get a whole lot worse, again, even for those who never participated in an ACA health insurance plan.
Presumably it'd require passwords or cookies to be downloaded from people's phones to work. With those credentials they could login to FB / Twitter / GMail etc and snoop about, downloading whatever data they can find there too.

I doubt they could do that passively. It would probably require them physically taking your (unlocked) phone and imaging it. (Which I suspect is becoming standard practice when they arrest people, if they can get away with it.)

If thats the case then 1Password would only keep your credentials safe while you aren't actually logged in to the services in question on your phone.

Apologies for neglecting this over the weekend.

The claim was "Processed by the eye, yes, but that rises to 100% for images processed by the brain." That is, that the images processed by the brain were 100% constructed by the brain.

The implication I got was that the images you perceive are entirely of your own devising. This seems off to me. Certainly anyone that is blind but still able to visualize a room is using constructed visualizations. But, that is a different thing than someone that is able to see.

This is different from written words. Which are 100% devised by another being. Maybe assembled by a machine, but the words and the meanings of them are learned and come from taught meanings. Not from raw processed experiences.
I think the greater risk for Craigslist is that categories that have standardize products will lose to niche markets. Maybe FB could implement a social aspect to the marketplace. For example, listing for cars for car people to comment on.

It's not "complete bullshit". Even at the height of the Great Recession, with unemployment through the roof, American citizens were turning down field work in droves.[1]

I've seen it myself. Some of it's cultural -- manual farm work is seen as "beneath" people -- but most of it's economics. Nice that you grew up in a time and place where a citizen could afford to work in the fields, but those days are long gone. If you're not single and sharing the rent for your three bedroom house with 10 amigos, you're not going to make ends meet on farm labor wages and hours.

There is an API method to query plans: https://www.linode.com/api/utility/avail.linodeplans

Presumably you can select the relevant ID based on plan properties (cores, RAM, etc.) rather than hardcoding IDs. Though I completely agree that once a plan has a specific ID, as long as that plan is available the ID should be constant.
Ask HN: Compensation at a firm with a cash cow
I work at a firm that has one product that is a very reliable cash cow. It is a small company so lets say the top half of the developers ( 15 out of 30 ) make a market rate salary and then a bonus of anywhere from $300k to $1 million for working on the cash cow. In a company like that how do you get some of those existing highly paid developers to work on a much more risky project?

It seems the options are:
(1) Continue to pay them something close to what they are making even though they no longer work on the cash cow and until the next project makes money, which might be years if ever.
(2) Try to get them to take a deal where they will get a percent of the profits of the new project which should be more than what they are currently making. Of course there is a chance the project won't ever make money so do you take the pretty much sure thing $500k bonus or do you take a chance on making $5 million/year on this thing that may or may not happen. $5 million/year is probably at the upper bounds of what is possible, it could be $10 million or maybe even $20 million but any more than that would really be dreaming. That is the whole point, it is risky in that the outcome is very much unknown.
(3) Have them continue to work on the new project but also do some work on the cash cow so that they get some bonus from the cash cow but they are working on the new thing as well. The problem with this is that for the new project to succeed it will probably take complete focus, dedication and passion from the team involved so splitting time like that will probably doom the project from the start.
(4) Force them to take some one of the above.

It isn't really possible to set up milestones. The only relevant milestone is whether or not the new project is making any money, everything else is meaningless.

It is also why CBS and others have bought up all kinds of niche networks. TruTV (e.g.) could probably never really be profitable but as part of CBS, they get economies of scale. Then all the cable and satellite companies are forced to pay for all of these extra channels. Even a marginal cost is still greater then the amount customers would pay directly or could be likely be sold through advertising. CBS also gets advantages that they can say we have X million subscribers who view our channels every single day!! Even most of that is on CBS proper and not TruTV.

Not sure if you're just trolling or being a typical reddit atheist jackass, but Muslims have adapted Ramadan at latitudes that the sun never rises (or sets) by using the times of a city or country where there's a clear and distinguishable difference between day and night. Not only that, but the entire point of fasting isn't the exact time that one is fasting, but the meaning behind it.

I'm not even a Muslim, but playing these kinds of logical "gotchas" with religious texts that were written centuries ago is just dumb.

I've experienced that a lot. Beyond that, Craigslist's anonymity makes it an easy vector for fraud, fencing stolen property, and other crime.
See also the documentary 9500 Liberty. I believe you can find it free online legally.[0]

TL;DR:

Prince Cook County in Virginia instituted a similar check required by police officers to ask for legality if there was "probably cause." The Police Chief was against it but when it was enacted, enforced the law. This caused a bunch of the immigrant families living there to leave, thus nearly crushing the entire county's economy.

You get hot takes like "9/11 was caused by illegals" and people saying they wanted to get rid of those who are, "Speaking Spanish, playing Latin music, owning a chicken, growing corn, not having health insurance"

And also a whole bunch of people essentially saying, "i'm not racist, but..."

It could end up that way, but lacking INSERT and UPDATE will likely limit this to a niche market for now.
It's interesting that you mention that particular welfare structure, since that's actually already used in a huge way in the United States, in the form of the "Earned Income Tax Credit"[0], which while I don't hear it talked about publicly very often, is a huge program that sounds like it does a lot of good.

To quote Wikipedia:

At a cost of $56 billion in 2013, the EITC is the third-largest social welfare
program in the United States after Medicaid ($275 billion federal and $127
billion state expenditures) and food stamps ($78 billion).

And this is an example, also taken from Wikipedia, of the way the EITC might work in the real world:

For example, a married couple with two qualifying children and yearly income
of seven thousand dollars will receive EITC of $2,810 (going up the hill).
At fifteen thousand dollars, this couple will receive EITC of $5,036
(plateau). And at twenty-five and thirty-five thousand dollars, this same
couple with their two children will receive EITC of $4,285 and $2,179,
respectively.

Show HN: Frop.io – painless remote presentations
Hi HN!

https://frop.io is a simple application that allows you to present content (PDF presentations, Images, Text files, YouTube videos) on a remote screen without installing any software. It's completely based on web standards (Websockets, JS) and runs in most modern browsers.

Simply start a session by calling frop.io/[yoursessionname]

I built frop.io to be able to use a RaspberryPi as a presentation endpoint but wasn't happy with the existing solutions. This is what I came up with.

The next steps are adding more supported media types and clients for FireTV and Apple TV. Mobile supported is currently very limited, but basic PDF/Image sharing is possible using iPhones and Androids.

Consider frop.io an early preview of what's to come, but I was eager to share this side project and I'm looking forward to your opinions and comments.

Thanks!

I love the Super Nintendo. So it's good to see someone is aiming to preserve it perfectly. I thought existing ROM dumps were good enough, but seeing as he already has this "icarus" program to read them, there's something more he needs for perfection?

Since he's handling the cartridges personally, it's a bit of a shame he has to give them all back. Wouldn't it be kinda neat to make an uber-cartridge that contains all chip configurations from every Super Nintendo cartridge in existence, so it could play any game on the hardware that game expects?

If you've bundled a channel within the "basic cable" package, that channel is now being sold to millions of people. But the costs to produce/buy the content on that channel don't go up with the number of users, right?

It's not that it's cheap, but that it scales relatively quickly.

I don't know how much service providers pay to carry these channels though. I'd imagine advertising is still what covers most costs.
Wikipedia should never have existed.

Encyclopedias exist to provide (a) access to information, (b) organisation, and (c) some guarantee of expertise. It's easy to take for granted how amazing it is to have a world of information at our fingertips, but the Internet itself provides greater access to more information than any encyclopedia ever could. (And of course Wikipedia deliberately eschews original content anyway.)
We already have tools to organise and find information on the Internet: it's called Google. Or DuckDuckGo. Or etc.
How much authority an encyclopedia has depends on how much you trust its editors to be, or be able to find, experts in the relevant subject matter. A search engine doesn't provide any guarantee of accuracy in its results, but then neither does Wikipedia — most people point out that it's up to you to follow the references and evaluate them. The things Wikipedia is good at are the things that the Internet itself is good at; and the things that the Internet on its own is bad at (e.g. vetting accuracy) is not something that can really be fixed short of turning into Britannica Online.

It's not quite that simple, of course. In theory, anyone can throw up a webpage on hemovanadin for the world to see, and it is relatively easy to do so, but it could be easier. What isn't so easy is collaborating — Wikipedia's greatest strength is also its Achilles' heel: anyone from anywhere in the world can contribute, constructively or destructively. But easier collaboration is a technical issue. There's no reason in principle that a centralised body should be required to manage all that. It's just that the availability and user-friendliness of the necessary software currently provide too much friction to ignore.
This is true, however without a turnkey solution it's impossible for most people whose interest is not in machines to lock the door. Putting your eggs in one basket is a totally reasonable strategy if you watch that basket very carefully. I think people will. Your concern is still valid and reasonable.
Ok sorry, but I actually don't think I violated any of the guidelines. As per the "civil" rule this is consistent with how I would respond in real life and given the circumstances the negativity is not gratuitous.
The method for reducing calories can have dramatic differences in results. One of the flaws with the above cited study from what I remember was that it simply reduced calories but they still ate several times a day.

The methods that are more associated with the positive benefits involve fasting windows.

The macronutrients will also make a difference. A diet high in carbs would be horrible to use with reduced calories. The CR diets that seem more successful are ketogenic in nature.
>"That compounded experience was not useless garbage"

I'm fairly confident that bykovich was being sarcastic.
Speculating for fun:

If you read into Signal's group chat, it ends up being indistinguishable from standard chat in the sense that the server is unaware of any "group" abstraction. The clients figure out how to thread messages based on encrypted message headers. From the outside, it just looks like N simultaneous outgoing messages from one user.

This is nice, as the server doesn't have to remember who you were in a group with, and it's only a bit worse than the obvious (single message to server + broadcast to group members) approach because only the sender has to pay the cost of sending the N messages. All receivers still just receive 1.

Extending to video chat, this would be quite difficult. To keep the necessary streams open and preserve the group-ignorant server design, each client has to open N connections to all other participants. That's a rough way for video streams to scale especially when routed through the same central infrastructure.

Group calls would probably need server side group-aware logic to mux the feeds together, which would sacrifice some of the server's data minimalism. I predict that we won't be seeing group calls anytime soon.. Might be wrong though!

Anyways, interesting to think about :) Seems like a pretty fascinating job to have.
