I agree with your post, perhaps the word slums didn't sit well with some people. If I were to rephrase it I would say, 'The poor in Bangladesh are at least allowed to build shelters without approval from city/building councils."

Sometime ago on HN, there was the story of the Canadian gentleman who built his house. His crime was that he didn't use wood stamped by inspectors. It was found that he used wood far superior to what was required.

Back home, people make their own bricks. South Africa is more advanced than other African countries. The poor here do not make their own bricks. There too many laws and the laws are enforced.

To whom? Mac is possibly the one company that I consider even worse, and bless linux they try so hard but the support by important programs for me just isn't there. The truth is that anti-competitive law in most of the world these days is enforced so spottily and sparsely that companies can get away with all sorts of preposterous things and we just have to take it because they work hard to stay -just- better than everyone else

I'm sure other people will be able to give better tips for doing the open sourcing and scaling up, so I'm not gonna touch that. I'll start with a different approach. I think the first important part is to forget the "scale an open source project" and just focus on "start".

Build a software that solves a problem you have. Preferably a single problem. Then make it good. Give it out to people you know in the same field or post it to relevant forums online.

After that, "open source" it. (You can put the code publicly on Github from the beginning but here I mean start promoting it to get users and collaborators.)

The motivation behind this sentiment is that all the extra stuff around this (maintaining the community of collaborators, replying to bug tickets, checking out pull requests) takes a lot of time that you should use in building the library first.

Have to second this.

I've used airbnb over the years and have seen the standard drop massively (I'd say the same is true for uber).

When I first started using the service, the hosts were all over you to make sure you have a nice stay.

Nowadays it's a complete lottery. You can book a well reviewed place "host is great, nice laid back guy" and turn up to a locked dark house in a foreign country, whilst said host is comatose drunk somewhere having been in a bar brawl, and no phone..

Not to mention bailiffs turning up at the crack of dawn demanding money else the gas will be turned off (another top reviewed apartment).

And that cleaning fee.. no way to not pay it, regardless of if the place has actually been cleaned. Standard response is "sorry, I'm out of town, the previous guest should have cleaned up after themselves"

I too have gone back to hotels.
There is a continuum of species, but they don't exist at the same time.

Take a human woman. She holds hands with her mother. Her mother holds hands with her mother, and so on.

Take a female chimpanzee. She holds hands with her mother. Her mother holds hands with her mother, and so on.

Eventually, these two chains meet the same organism, the last common ancestor of human and chimpanzee, who lived somewhere around 6 million years ago. This (now singular) chain has somewhere around 600,000 individual organisms, where each pair next to each other holding hands are related as mother-daughter (so how could you argue they're different species?), but the endpoints of the chain are modern human and modern chimpanzee.

As a side note, categorizing life via the idea of species seemed like a good idea when it was developed, but we now know it's not. There's other (real life) examples that show that the idea of species is just a human invention that humans try to fit onto a reality that's more complicated and doesn't respect human abstractions.
Consider that the application generally includes includes a client element that has to communicate with the services via HTTP anyway. In that case it often makes little difference if they communicate with a single app or 10. Often you can hide that it is communicating with more than one with a simple load balancer in front of the services.

If the microservices has to do lots of internal communication using HTTP, then you should consider if you've split them along the right boundaries or not.

Sometimes it may not be avoidable, but if there are lots of dependencies between them, then the rationale for splitting them into separate services rapidly drops.

The two things you quote are consistent assuming the services are mostly independent on the server side and it is the client that handles the coordination.
How to Conquest Your Competitors with Online Advertising
Dentists in the UK receive a bachelor degree, as do doctors.
However it was a sanctionable offence in the eyes of the General Dental Council for a dentist to title themselves Dr.

This was purely a Dental Council regulation, anyone at the time could call themselves doctor, it wasn't a criminal offence.

With the arrival of dentists from EU countries who were allowed to do so, UK dentists felt they were being put at a disadvantage in the eyes of the general public.

The GDC eventually relented with an announcement to the effect that dentists doing this would not be taken action against any longer.

But they clearly didn't approve!
>Don't expect lots of pre-prepared food, and fancy pre-made items. In fact, expect very little. It's mostly staples with some extremely common packaged convenience foods.
In my experience, I would have to disagree. For what I have seen at the two nearest stores to me, 50% of the store's inventory is boxed, canned, and frozen foods.

I should've clarified more on the "fancy pre-made items". Most of the larger national chain supermarkets have grown more and more into this. In particular, one location in my area (in an affluent neighborhood) has dedicated over 1/3rd of its floor space to "hot and ready to eat" take-out style food, prepared on-site, and priced at $10/pound (excluding things like sushi). It's a common sight to see a cart filled with nothing but basically take-out boxes, bakery items, bottled water, and alcohol.

That particular store in that particular location, if I included frozen meals, and boxed/canned meals, it's literally 3 out of every 4 square feet.

>However if you want some items, your best bet is to go at open. I've been at our stores pretty much at random hours and have never been disappointed in the quantity of inventory. It sounds like you might be visiting a mismanaged store.

No, this is more of living in a major city, and the location's relatively small size (the adjacent CVS is about 50% larger). I would compare the size of its produce area to 16-20% of that of a typical chain supermarket. As it result, it depletes very quickly. This means that the highest quality stuff is gone within 10-15 minutes of open.

I wouldn't say that's unique to Aldi either. If you don't go to Market Basket close to open, don't expect high-quality produce to be there when you show up, and some items may be gone entirely. The reason being is the area MBs are always packed except right at open.
I built (essentially) this a few weeks back, for an iOS app. Currently trying to get Apple's App Review team to agree it's a good idea.

Apple has UI in App Store submission that lets you provide App Review with a demo account username/password combo, but only that.

So to highlight another drawback: sometimes being able to share login credentials is a feature. Part of me thinks this ought not to be the case, and I hope I will be able to stick with password-less login.
The latter
On the other hand I find myopic literalism a far more annoying waste of time and energy.

The way I see it if Google intends the service to be always free, that's enough for me. After all, I don't think any rational observer would expect 'always' to include e.g. Google going out of business, all their data centers being blown up by terrorists, etc so to me it seems pretty obvious that it's contingent on all sorts of conditions that can change in the future, some of which might be at Google's discretion and others not.
What Is Machine Learning and How to Use It in Your Mobile App?
Or at least, for both.
Ask HN: Why AWS SNS for mobile push notifications?
We currently use a single, simple function that sends our push notifications direct to Apple servers. I'm just curious as to the benefits of using SNS or any of the other similar services. I don't really get the "scalability" mantra since it seems that sending to the SNS api is just as taxing on the server as sending direct to Apple. What am I missing?
Just pick better companies. If you have the flexibility to choose contracting over employment, then you also have the flexibility to get out of market segments where these kinds of practices are commonplace. I have a friend that works for AT&T, when she describes her work environment, it really feels like a night and day difference from the Rails shops I work in and knock beers back with at meetups.
Yep, this is especially true when you are buying a company where much of it's worth is derived from it's human capital.

With all respect to "id" software, the majority of their value was JC and the tech leads.

Whilst id is still remembered fondly it's not like they were a major brand and had a large portfolio of technical and franchised intellectual property that was worth anything close to what ZeniMax paid for it.

ZeniMax bought the brains not the doom franchise.
I was gonna ask: was it ammon? And sure enough, yes it was.

Ammon is a smug dude, no doubt about it.

Edit: to be clear, I passed the interviews.
Even if the truth is ineffective, if the alternative is to lie I will persist with the truth in face of this type of ignorance:

> [0] Nuclear power is never the best option, no matter what criteria is used. It's always more expensive, it always produces more dangerous waste,

Irrelevant; the waste does far less damage than the alternatives.

> and it always poses more risk to the community than numerous competing options.

The death tolls shows clearly that this is false for every solution we have for base loads. When battery/storage technology gets far enough this may change, but as long as a single coal, oil or gas plant is active, reducing nuclear is a far greater risk to the community.

> Whatever lives you thought you might save with a nuclear plant, save billions of dollars and decades of development and just put in some wind or solar farms or natural gas turbines or some combination of those.

Wind or solar farms can not provide baseload without billions in investments in storage. Once we have that infrastructure, sure, then we can consider reducing dependence on nuclear. In the meantime they can not replace nuclear.

Natural gas kills more.
Given how other distros stepped up their UX game (with regards to things that are outside the DM/WM combo such as OS install, package management etc), there's no real good excuse for the continued mainstream momentum of Debian/Ubuntu =) Korora (Fedora for newcomers) and Manjaro (Arch for newcomers) seem to install without a hitch these days and largely work fully as expected on most machines "out-of-box". Seem to have come a long way from just a few years ago.

As a Mac user I don't really see how this is any different from when you fill up the paltry iCloud Drive space on OS X and it shows a message every time you boot where both options of the dialog box take you to the iCloud pref pane to buy more storage.

Even without those new plants, Germany's dependence on coal has been substantially extended in time. And it's not just Germany - the shutdown has also affected Germany's ability to export electricity, and so increased other countries depdency on more dangerous means of generation.

The death toll from Germany's shutdown is likely to be in the tens of thousands before the baseload capacity is fully replaced by safer alternativs.

I'm not sure whether the author intended "pure-Ruby" to be an advantage or a disadvantage. For me Ruby is a huge no-go and I always try to avoid it if possible for the simpe reason that no Ruby program works for the first time and whenever I install a gem it is possible that it breaks another. For someone who comes from the distributable binaries world this is simply unbearable.

Ubuntu is part of the Linux community.
I like Lane's book, but it is annoying how he praises Bill Martin and basically ignores the actual pioneers of the field. Carl Woese, who discovered the archaea and who fought a long battle to get the world to understand that they weren't just bacteria, gets like a sentence in the whole book.
Usually a seller doesn't add VAT to B2B invoices into the EU, VAT is accounted for by the purchaser under the 'reverse charge' system. B2C is different, they would need to charge the local VAT rate in each member state. I suspect they simply haven't gotten around to supporting it yet.
in the real world you dont just do that. The problem is that you can never pay too much for healthcare so how much tax you are going to pay is important.

The US is a big and complex country, its not like other countries and so you run the risk of having to tax so high to make it sustainable that its dead on arival.
Amazon S3 -- google has, blackblaze has for cheaper. When I chose, google was still listing object storage as "beta".

Google domain registration -- includes DNS & email forwarding, e.g. to my gmail account.

There is Goldman. And banks that emulate their culture. And there is everyone else.

The bad banks tech orgs are clubs for VIPs and friends and relatives of the business and the tech just doesn't matter, as a result you have a poisonous culture and an army of frauds. Especially true of the failed investment banks that got acquired by consumer banks. If you find yourself in the latter, and you are not part of the club (ie refuse to perpetuate the fraud of screwing over the business to enrich some tech executives agenda) run in the opposite direction. Join a trading firm instead.

I will bet OP was at a "club" bank.
