I've used discord. My family is never going to use discord or a discord-like app. For that, we need sms or MMS.

One of the problems with discord is that it becomes very bloated to use (fromm mobile). It takes 3-4 interactions to get to the friends list so I can message someone. With sms/mms/allo/fb messenger, I open the app and my friends list is just right there, staring me in the face.

Optimized for different usecases comes to mind.
The unclear thing here is: what is going to happen to hangouts on personal accounts? I use google hangouts on my gmail account for group hangouts all the time (role-playing game group that's geographically distributed, for example). I mean, I'll use hangouts meet or whatever instead of vidchat hangouts, but only if it exists.
I'm consistently surprised there is no jailtime involved.
Sorry, I wasn't aware that he was openly for a muslim ban and that this was openly a muslim ban. I'm very used to people misinterpreting his words which is what I assumed was going on here.

Ask HN: Is there anything specifically you've done to get co-contributors?
For those of you who have started open source projects, is there a specific course of action that you remember as being effective in getting other contributors on your project?

I can think of lots of things to try, but I don't know if any are actually effective. Among them I can think of:

* Documentation targeted at developers
* Guidelines for contribution
* Permissive licensing
* Automated builds and testing
* Other?

I can come up with arguments why all of these might help. However, since time is always hard to come by, it'd be interesting to know what people have tried and what actually works.
My point is that allowing alternatives for a price removes the incentive to fix the free somution for everyone who can afford that price.
Mostly persistence and scaling.

I assume you're using a jsonb column, and going horizontal?
Thanks.

It looks like that is tied to the processing power, is that right? I can't see a way of picking them independently in that section, unless I'm missing something.
ammon seemed like he made a good choice on balancing what to share and what not to share.
My experience has been that price is a better predictor than reviews, which I think is what kilroy123 (and you) was getting at.
That is quite the combination of ignorance and arrogance. Before attacking others beliefs as delusional (and then creating a ridiculous straw man argument) you might want to spend a little time trying to understand how their beliefs differ from anarchism, fascism, communism, etc.

I think it's going to be severely abused politically.

I've already seen a few people on the right saying it means the DNC hack was 100% fake.

And I've already seen a security researcher on the left saying it has nothing to do with the results because "they found running C&C servers in that case", like you can't buy C&C servers anywhere in the world that you want.

Neither claim makes any verifiable sense. Hacking attribution is somewhere between hard and impossible if your opponent doesn't want to be found or wants you to find someone else instead.

It's a legitimately interesting program and something to consider when these claims get made. But don't listen the politics of it. It'll be a nightmare.
Wise advice. I never insult them or anything like that. I don't use sir or ma'am. I love asking if I'm being detained. I never carry ID on me (not in a must identify state). I love denying to answer questions.

I agree that they are never here to help. I don't answer questions as a matter of course.

I would point you to Swift's implementation of its "Character" type. Swift string handling is a model for how programming languages should approach Unicode characters and their complex combinations. The standard interface into all Swift strings is its "Character" type, which works exclusively with grapheme clusters.

I haven't experienced MS Teams, but Skype 4 Business can go and die in a garbage fire as far as I'm concerned. The mobile client just sucks monumentally, and the desktop client is missing functionality that every other good chat client has had for years.
Right, there are game-changing advances in mathematical logic and sea changes in mathematical philosophy. The discovery of non-euclidean geometry did not mean euclidean geometry was false, and real analysis is the same whether you found it on sets or categories, by definition. Incompleteness doesn't eliminate the possibility of consistency. Mathematics changes by becoming more expressive and growing outwards and inwards.

Sometimes, a theorem is proven to be inconsistent and thrown out. My point was this happens a lot less often with mathematical theorems than it does with scientific facts because facts are based on our inductive study of the universe, whereas mathematics only makes statements about syllogisms. Unlike the real world, math is an area of study where incontrovertible facts are at least possible, because we make everything up, and just have to make sure we're consistent about it. We do not have access to such a priori knowledge about reality.
I think you are totally wrong on this one.
I would expect that role to be filled more by Hong Kong than by the mainland, and in Hong Kong's case, that's how permanent residency works. If you maintain uninterrupted residency in the HKSAR for a period of 7 years, you get your HKID.

It's also a relatively open place for foreigners, English is commonly spoken (and an official language, so all government documents can be completed in English, and all laws translated). Except when meddled with, it retains a high degree of autonomy from the mainland, and very much follows rule of law under HK basic law. Due to it's unique situation, it's also fairly apolitical.

HK companies also have the advantage of not being taxed on non-HK source revenue and have no trouble doing business with/in the mainland.

Feels old, clunky, and not fun to use compared to Slack. The hosted solution has also had major reliability problems over the past 6-12 months (may not apply if you use the on-prem offering). The mobile apps are very outdated and tend to botch notifications and message delivery/syncing.

On the bright side, the desktop client uses very little RAM compared to Slack.

Look, I'm going to be honest - this is exciting, and Firebase is one of the best. But Google pushing this feature spells even more vendor-lock-in doom.

My disclosure is obvious, I'm an Open Source competitor, switch to us ( https://github.com/amark/gun ) and get "cloud functions" for free which can deploy to any services ( Docker enabled, Heroku 1 click install, run on GCS, AWS, etc.).

And don't worry, we just load tested the system doing a sustained almost 2K throughput messages/second across a distributed system on low end hardware. We plan on getting this up to 10K inserts/second on a free Heroku box.
Why Consumers Are Making Their Own Clouds

You're making an incorrect assumption that taxes paid are proportional to GDP contribution. Do you really think that, for example, low-paid migrant farm workers contribute correspondingly little to economic output? They contribute hugely to farm output!

As an extreme example, unpaid workes (slaves in places and times with slavery, interns, etc) still contribute to their employers' output. The right thing to do isn't to reduce their rights and benefits to be commensurate with their nonexistent salaries; instead, their rights and benefits (and hence taxes) should be increased to be (at least) commensurate with their value to the economy.

The stolen SSN issue is a bizarre strawman. There's a trivial solution: give them real SSNs.

Allo and Hangouts don't share the same identifier (email/phone number). I believe that merging or converting is therefore probably impossible.
I don't know man. Right now the hard part is using the tools. It's a pain in the ass. The last I tried FireGPG was the best and it wasn't terribly smooth flow either (no fault of it's own).
it's been around a while, i'm not sure why it never took off the way slack did.

i'd also love to hear from a user.
Does anyone have a good comparison between this, RDS, Aurora, Citus, Heroku PG and some of the other Postgres (and "Postgres-compatible") services?

With so many DBaaS tools available, I'd like to know the best options for things like pricing, availability, features, tooling, monitoring, etc...
I think part of the motivation for the limitations was to stop people from putting too much business logic in their templates. You can of course implement any kind of tag or filter you want and just use that. Or indeed just use Jinja if you want. Django's templates are perfectly fine and I still prefer them over the similar alternatives.
If people want a relatively comfortable environment where they can come and go as they please, hold down a job, watch TV etc., I highly recommend having a look at the technique of not committing crimes.
Google App Engine flexible goes GA
i don't understand how slack is as heavy as it is.
Wow, this is a big deal. This is enough to run personal or PoC projects just on the Always Free Tier, but the fact that you can stack the $300 credit on top of the free tier is crazy:

> You are eligible for Always Free usage amounts during the free trial period. Always Free usage does not count against your free trial credits.
For example, only the portion of your Google App Engine usage above the App Engine free daily usage limits is charged against your $300 credit. In addition, if your App Engine usage is below the free daily usage limits, your app will continue to run even after the free trial ends.

If you don't provide opportunity and a good civil environment to brilliant/enterprising people, they will find a way elsewhere. And once Vancouver or any other city starts working for them, Silicon Valley will lose its exclusivity. The thing to note here is that this response from YC is not a political one, but a response that came out of market demand; it is pretty significant if it works out.
The worst is that you end up with statements like "America is a country in North America", which to me is just bizarre.
Where does this article exclude men with the same problem? You're mad because this article focuses on what the author found interesting in her survey of professionals, a survey she conducted because she was initially skeptical of a widely-quoted aphorism from pop best-sellers like Lean In?

The article's author decided to challenge that belief with a systematic analysis and she reports that it is not confidence that is the main factor. Yet you choose to interpret the problem as self-confidence because you, yourself, feel a lack of confidence. Furthermore, you accuse the author of excluding men, because you choose to see her efforts as a zero-sum game.
Just because it was free upgrade, it does not mean, that it was OS for free.

Futuristic Google Campus Gets Green Light in Mountain View
Despite the article's inane attempts to link this to sex crimes, I see nothing wrong with this. Housing and feeding prisoners is a huge drain on society; a prisoner who alleviates that drain absolutely deserves a more humane experience. That's not to say that everyone else doesn't deserve a more humane experience, but we simply can't afford it. No one is suggesting we close down shelters and start housing the homeless in five star hotels, and no one seems to be too bothered by that. On the whole I'd rather money be spent first on that than upgrading prisons.

EDIT: As to the idea that this somehow reduces the effective punishment: while that might be true for the ultra-rich for whom $10k is irrelevant (but since when do they go to prison anyways?), for everyone else, having to fund your own incarceration [directly, in addition to funding everyone else's via taxation,] seems to offset that.
plv8 and HA are my two big ones... The main reason I'd choose postgres over alternatives would be plv8.
Routing in React, the uncomplicated way
This is one of those things where you're certainly entitled to argue the point --- maybe it isn't a Muslim ban! But there's enough evidence at this point so that you can't be outraged when someone else claims it's a Muslim ban, just like you can't be outraged if someone believes in anthropogenic global warming, or, for that matter, in the economic flaws in high minimum wages or rent control. The Muslim ban is firmly in the zone of "issues reasonable people can bring up casually".

(Another way to be inflammatory would be to introduce the Muslim ban unbidden as a distraction in a discussion about something else; for instance, if I said "rent control is a bad idea" and someone else said "if you believe that you might as well believe the Muslim ban is OK". But as you can see that's not what happened here.)

Either way, thanks for the chill response.
I just watched the DJI video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1d_ptE6yrc

It seems the Mavick tracks objects by image recognition from the camera. I'm not sure the stuff shown on the Lily video where you track a presumably radio transmitter from a small device is actually a thing that exists. I was trying to figure out how to do it for tracking kids if they run off in stores etc and it's not easy. You could probably do it with a several feet across receiver so you could detect the timing differences.

In the Lily faked video the Inspire was flown by a human operator.

Guess it the tracker and drone both had gps receivers and communicated that could work although it still might be hard to get the altitude right.

Hi! I'm the author of Bart. AMA :)

Askama and Bart seem to be pretty similar in use (compile time, based on a struct definition) except for the template languages. Askama is rich, while Bart, like Mustache, is deliberately more restricted. ("Logicless", they would call it. I don't know how to quantify that.)

How do you know her version of the story is the correct one? Are you sure she was really strapped down and tasered while restrained? We know she was drunk and belligerent, her recall might be imperfect.

I am not saying that police and prison guards don't abuse prisoners, but people in custody aren't always right either.
Authentication, realtime db, cloud messaging etc., which I guess are also not part of App engine offerings ?

Are you sure? To me that sounds like it'll let you store 1 GB indefinitely, or 0.5 GB once a day for 12 hours; not 1 GB for a day on day 1, 2 GB for a day on day 2, etc...

Not necessarily disagreeing, but AFAIK, "Delta-Sierras" are after hard drugs. MMJ is not(yet?) a problem for medics. It is still illegal federally, so you could expect that to be used against you in a variety of dubiously connected ways.
I've been using this since day one. It's been a bumpy ride, but the past few weeks it's been working really well.
You are getting confused between consumer goods/services (part of a capitalist market and being sold for profit without regard to social good), and the justice provisions of a functioning society (part of the public good, not for profit, can't be sold, and not subject to market forces or imbalancing tendencies... or at least life was better when it was like that and people knew the difference).
Thanks, this was the only thing holding me back from Firebase.
I've managed a rocket.chat server at a previous job, and its very stable as well. The big plus is that its completely free (including ldap support) vs slack and mattermost.
The author's thesis depends pretty heavily on drivers having alternatives. I place little faith in the Peak Travel Study -- http://www.travelbehavior.us/Nancy-pdfs/Peak%20Travel%20in%2... -- who in their right mind would drive in rush hour traffic except to work or school -- except for the naive out-of-towner who realized too late they would arrive in The Big City during Rush Hour en route to their ultimate destination?

Moreover, the HOT lane idea, which my city (ATL) has implemented in a couple of places, only reduces traffic in the HOT lane. The other lanes become MORE crowded by the people who prefer to suffer for free.

Once, I think the toll hit $35. If I were heading home, maybe I would pay it; heading to work, not so much.

There is a list of GCP products with free quota (some of these have been around for a while in some form but may have changed details, many seem to completely new with this announcement.)

This is in addition to the time-limited free trial credit, and the free quota applies before any payment (including from the trial credit).
You can expect law enforcement to be 'perfectly rational and fair', but expecting them to always be gentle is unrealistic. When people are being violent, it sometimes requires physical force to restrain them, and oftentimes that physical force can't be gentle.

In addition, being 'perfectly rational' does not always mean doing the correct thing every time, with the benefit of hindsight. You can be rational, but in real life we have imperfect information. Innocent people are sometimes hurt because of this imperfect information, even if everyone behaves rationally. It sucks, but is unavoidable.
That's a good point, you should definitely stay out of the US. ...For privacy

As Google tries to be more enterprise focused they will run into problems with customer relations. How am I trust a meeting service where I can't get anyone on the phone if there is a problem? Is it just assumed that Google's reliability makes customer service issues a non-factor? This will be great for tech startups but really a non-starter for 'old guard' types.
I agree. But in a predominantly heterosexual world, simply being female makes it hard to access that info. Many of the men who have that knowledge only want to talk to me in order to determine if I will sleep with them. (So if they are faithfully married, they may just not want to talk to me.) That's a genuine barrier to gaining that knowledge.

But I have found it helpful to focus on finding a way to get access to the information I need rather than just bellyaching about "sexism."

Sigh... The annual Demographia study is mostly BS. First, they only look at a handful of Anglosphere countries and yet claim to cover the world; Second, they have strong ties to the automotive industry and have an agenda of urban sprawl -- this leads them to target negatively cities that are fighting sprawl, like Vancouver; Third, their only metric for affordability is housing price yet places where there is a more dense population often have high housing prices but lower overall affordability when all costs are considered, most importantly they don't include renting; Finally their numbers don't line with any other major reports (EIU, Mercer, etc).

While Vancouver, has the worst affordable city in Canada, it is very middle of the pack when you look at major cities in the world. And the notion that SF is more affordable than Vancouver is just laughable if you've lived in both places.
