There is an always free tier which, if I'm not wrong, should be free forever.
I don't think there's anything new here. This is real life, human nature --however one might care to put it. Startup demo's are not about demo's at all.

From politics to selecting an air conditioning contractor and beyond, presentation and engagement matter a lot. It's not that people are stupid or superficial, these things (and others) create impressions and confidence. And, in some cases, they are crucial to the success of the venture.

When I first launched into the world as an entrepreneur, decades ago, I was too much of an engineer. One key element that was missing is I sucked at selling. You can engineer an amazing product but, contrary to the popular saying, people won't beat a path to your door unless you are good at selling it. The history of business is paved with the carcasses of great products that never got off the ground because the people involved couldn't sell them.

In my case I recognized this from the very start and actively sought help in the area where I was most deficient. The first few months after we started to sell our hardware product were terrible. I'd mess-up presentation after presentation. Yet, with constant coaching I eventually figured it out. Within about eight months or so I was so comfortable selling that I could actually sell a product without saying a single word about it during a demo.

These presentations to potential investors have a far greater purpose than simple product demos. They serve to communicate to the audience a range of information about the entrepreneur. Important data points. One of them being whether or not the person can actually sell what they are making. If you can't sell and are going to hire someone to do so, you might be better off having them do the presentation. Folks who understand selling can sell anything, including a startup looking for funding.

To paraphrase an observation made decades ago by Smokey Yunick, a famed race car designer:

"When all the smoke and bullshit clears out you have to sell the damn thing".
Good for you, seriously! I have two good friends who did the same thing, one of them 3 years ago, and his life is markedly improved. I'm sure you've already felt that though... tobacco smoke is just bad news all around. Again, congratulations.
>as if the purported problems that women face are only substantial once it can be proven that all women are worse than all men.

This is a total misrepresentation of what I'm saying. I'm more than fine with women being helped. What I'm saying is, don't do it in a way that excludes men with the same problem.

Having PWA optimizations by default is a huge win for sites where speed is money (marketing sites, landing pages) and pretty good for the rest of us too.

It's great watching the ability to create fast sites by default built into modern frameworks like React rather than by returning to 90s web dev minimalism.
And that when it is taught in curriculum, it's C++ from the 90s, not C++/0x/11/14/etc.
In what way? Everybody has personal political opinions. Wikileaks has released information damaging to all parts of the political spectrum.
So far we have seen no signs of leakage, and we've been monitoring it closely.

A few reasons why leakage doesn't happen:

- Unlike cleaning, this isn't a weekly service, so the incentive is less.

- When our mechanics communicate with customers it gets routed through a Fiix phone number and/or 'business cards' with direct links to re-book them

- Mechanics have also expressed that they don't want customers having their personal phone numbers because it actually takes long to quote out a customer (we've built software to do this instantly).

- Because we do a high volume of repairs, we can get better parts costs than mechanics could on their own

- By going through Fiix, the mechanic gets 'de-risked' as even if the customer complains, or things go wrong, they still get paid
It's a giant 4k touchscreen. What's not to want? ;-P
Isn't it just missing one comma? (I suppose "whom" should be "who")
They are also competing with other countries that might be better equipped to produce those goods (e.g. Chile might have cheaper labor, and better water/soil/climate) for some types of fruits.

Without subsidies or this cheap labor, a lot of agr. would cease to be profitable.
I hope it is useful! I'd love any feedback you have.

This sounds like it's optimizing for the wrong component of the interview process. I've never had issues with spending time on phone screens because they are one of the main ways in which I screen companies I'm interested in.

It's the technical interviewing portion that's a pain to have to re-do over and over again. Especially if it involves travelling across the country to do. Engineers are ultimately looking at company and engineering culture to choose between.

The other thing is that for some engineers, they might perform well in one on-site versus another for many reasons such as the questions asked, interviewer rating, or something as trivial as mood. Seems like Triplebyte giving people one-chance makes this difficult.

Ultimately, I feel the main crux of hiring/interviews/finding the right talent is training. If the industry is over-fitting on people who can pass whiteboarding, then why aren't there more startups focused on this aspect? Not just passing interviews (e.g. outco.io), but actually focused on training systems design and algorithms. Universities don't do that in undergrad or grad school.
It is, but you do what you have to do to get through.

Realistically, everyone has their own shit to deal with and nobody really wants to be reminded that their own troubles aren't the most important things in the world - because to them, their troubles are the most important thing in their world. So you dig deep and you get on with things and hope you make it through before it spits you out of the other end a broken mess and you do the best you can with the resources you can dig up and you keep a smile on your face and keep everyone laughing because you don't want to be that guy that's always complaining about how their life sucks and the world owes them something.

Some days it's secretly really, really bleak. But other days it's openly beautiful and life couldn't be better. You have to try and focus on those days because they're the ones that pull you through the hard times.

Why would an Allo/Duo user ever want to join a server, or something analogous? They just want to call or message their friend. I think it's obvious to merge some of their consumer point to point apps, but criticizing their group chat solution because they have consumer point-to-point apps is wrong.
Will this even work for inbox? I'd almost guess that they're aligning Gmail as an enterprise product and inbox as consumer.
Don't worry not passing it is probably for the best, as if you interview through companies with them, good luck trying to get reimbursed for your interview expenses. They promise that they will handle everything and it will be super "convenient", but it's only convenient if you are fine with getting nothing in the end. I am somewhat convinced part of their business model relies on saving money by not paying people.
That is definitely a plus, but the mobile app(s) for mattermost are pretty bad.

I'm guessing it was built a long time ago on cordova or one of those other "write once, run everywhere" frameworks where they just run everything in a WebView.
No, it's not inflammatory. You don't have to agree with it or condone the idea of a blanket ban on Muslims --- you don't even have to stop supporting Trump to believe we shouldn't ban Muslims.

What you can't do is object to facts that are simply on the record. Trump said early in the election cycle that he supported a ban on Muslims, and then after the election Rudolph Giuliani looked straight into a TV news camera and said that the travel ban was an effort to put that kind of ban into practice.

There's easy inflammatory versions of this observation. For instance: someone could accuse you of supporting bans on Muslims for debating the substance of the travel ban. But that's not what 'mikeash wrote, and it's not fair for you to take him to task for that.
Yes, it looks like this applies to existing, paying customers!
Gmelius is actually using parts of the SDK. But they are really aggressive and do some DOM manipulation. In general we hope that users of the InboxSDK never need to actually touch the DOM ever. The SDK handles coordination across extensions. Ofcourse extension don't have to abide by this and hence the conflicts.

As for Streak, we're planning on a mixed approach. The add-ons from Google support very few UI entry points (at least for now). Streak's entire UI only lives in Gmail so we need a lot more integrations. We'll use the Google sanctioned way when possible and fall back on the extension as we currently have now for the other cases.
The article is about sail theory.

Keels provide lift upwind and in fact most displacement mode sailboats use NACA foil templates for their keels. Downwind, keels are drag and in some boats, you pull up the centerboard to reduce that drag.

You can always make things more complex.

This is changing though- the lack of attention giving to the freemium slack is causing a lot of problems for the communities I'm in, and the majority of them are exploring other options.

For instance, I reported a DoS bug that can cripple freemium communities and they basically told me "oh well". For obvious reasons I'm not going to go into details here, but I've got a script I can point at a slack freemium slack community to wipe out a lot of it's functionality that I built as a proof of concept and they just don't seem to care.

There are also huge issues with moderation and harassment on the freemium Slack. Since there is no way to block or ignore a user it gives trolls an insane amount of power (and before someone tells me that you can mute notifications from a person, I'll mention that all the troll needs to do is create a new chat room, force invite the person to it, and continue trolling to bypass it).

Personally I find it really frustrating that slack has kind of destroyed a bunch of IRC communities, but is refusing to build the tools needed to manage these replacements. As more and more freemium communities are figuring this out and migrating I imagine the people pushing Slack because it's what they are familiar with is going to drop.
WhatsApp Update Brings Old Status Back
Lambda's billed in 100 millisecond increments. EC2 servers are billed in one hour increments. If you need short tasks that run in bursty workloads, Lambda's (potentially) a no-brainer.

I am nothing short of utterly and completely confused at what this means for people using the consumer-facing Hangouts app right now.

Below is what I outline as "Best-Case Scenario":

* Google introduces Hangouts Meet and Hangouts Chat as new apps to get

* Current Google Hangouts turns into Allo somehow magically

I am currently a GSuite Free member - and use Hangouts to chat with friends, old coworkers, my wife, etc. I literally have no idea what is going to happen to me.

I know English is not my first language, but reading this, I feel like I know what each word means but the words makes no sense in aggregate.

It doesn't seems like there is more information on the current page either.

Also I have no idea why the fact that you're providing servers for free forever is not the first and most prominent paragraph, but is actually buried in the middle of the doc page.

Except if it's just a terrible attempt at upsell?

I don't understand this "Clinton is corrupt" thing. You imply that career politicians are corrupt. Ok, I accept that. But how is Hillary, specifically, any worse than other politician? And how is Trump not any worse than Hillary when he spouts nonsense and blatant falsehoods on a daily basis?

But yes, now that Trump is a politician, I imagine it's only a matter of time.
I have a friend who's still using Google Talk via her corporate IT solution, whose name I forget; she and my wife are the only two I know of still using it. I could probably convince my wife to switch to Allo, but my friend can't integrate it with her corporate solution, so switching basically means I can't chat with her anymore.
> Gatsby is simple

Making it simple to use is an awesome and laudable goal, but I wonder whether there isn't also an opportunity here for developers who are not javascript-wizards to learn from the way Gatsby is built. I'm asking for a friend.

The things that make Gatsby tick (esp. 1.0) are decidedly not simple, but they seem like important tools and concepts for developers to understand, even if they don't singlehandedly master them.

So lift is due to pressure differentials on the top side of a foil? It's just that the traditional reasoning as to why those those differentials formed (air moving at a faster speed over the top) was not accurate?
Anecdotes are cool, man.

Also, unless a migrant stays in the US forever, they won't receive the benefits of their social security contributions.

EG: I pay 6.2*2=12.4% as social security, but unless I contribute for at least 10 years, those contributions are lost. So many H1B holders end up paying 12% more in taxes than their American counterparts...
There are currently 17 × 65536 code points (U+0000..U+10FFFF) in Unicode. UTF-32 could theoretically encode up to a hypothetical U+FFFFFFFF and still be fixed-width.

Note that, at present, only 4 of the 17 planes have defined characters (Planes 0, 1, 2, and 14), two are reserved for private use (15 and 16), and an additional is unused but is thought to be needed (Plane 3, the TIP for historic Chinese script predecessors). Four planes appear to be sufficient to support every script ever written on Earth, as it's doubtful there are unidentified scripts with an ideographic repertoire as massive as the Unified CJK ideographs database.

We are very unlikely to ever fill up the current space of Unicode, let alone the plausible maximum space permissible by UTF-8, let alone the plausible maximum space permissible by UTF-32.
I agree with pretty much everything in this comment, except the word "enemies". We're discussing emergent trends in society that can't be blamed on any group of (living) individuals, it doesn't have to be framed as a conflict.

I guess I don't really see where we disagree. Of course there's more to life than your gender, of course other things matter, of course these various attributes are complicated and aren't purely beneficial. None of this means we have to stop talking about gender, it's not like nobody talks about class and education and culture and whatever else. All of it matters, we should talk about all of it.

Can you expand on this point:

> So what if the average man has more opportunities etc. if when you look at the distribution no individual man fits the average?

I haven't really done any statistics since high school so I'm probably missing your point.
They just use email. These add one augment the email client (Gmail) not the email messages themselves.

In-App-messaging vs Push Notifications: What Are the Key Differences?
It's a bit more complicated. Inner-city populations heavily vote Democrat, along with most densely populated areas. In fact, something like ~80% of Americans live in urban areas (which also includes dense suburbs), and therefore we should expect Democrats to win elections most of the time (even in spite of the fact that some dense sub-urban areas heavily lean Republican). However, this doesn't happen in practice because the electoral college system heavily reduces the weight of votes coming from inner-cities and urban areas, and also excludes votes coming from urban areas that lie within a larger, Republican-leaning state. For example, in the last election, probably most people in Philadelphia voted for Clinton, but their votes were nullified because the state over-all went to Trump.

So inner-city populations can't reliably make themselves heard on the national level via Presidential elections.
The problem with google chat services is... will they last more than 6 months? Considering how many changes Hangouts went through, do I even want to waste time on evaluate its current incarnation?

That characterization isn't enough to distinguish a Turing complete interpreter from something that trivially manipulates an input datum. An interpreter is just a program containing code paths, which are activated in response to the input (the interpreted code).
I feel like there would be emergent effects that would make this far worse in reality than the way you described it. Do I think it's better than our current system. Probably. Do I think we can come up with a much better system? Yes!
Right, though fruit flies may not be the ideal model system here.
What I was saying (on International Women's Day) is that many opportunities are still afforded to people based on group identity that are denied to others, and that "all problems" can be solved trivially... for some people because of their inborn traits. It was a rejection of the "all problems can be overcome with sufficient gumption" theme of this thread.

Beer, Maleness, being physically present in the USA, English - all of these are group signifiers.

It saddens me to see HN users rejecting this on a day designed to highlight this inequality.
It's also just bad writing. What happens when you pull a trigger without any ammunition? Nothing.

The "old boy network" isn't just literally about knowing the other "old boys" (though that's obviously important), it's about a shared understanding of how things actually work, as opposed to how the publicly-exposed information says things work. So just networking with people isn't enough--you need to know the unspoken reality of how to make further progress.

(This from someone who has painfully learned not to take any rule or process literally in the real world. There's a reason I like computers.)
Regarding being beta, the flexible environment instances for App Engine are/were beta (I swear it was just a couple days ago, it was labelled beta, but not seeing it now). All the same, a lot of people are building towards that (ie Docker).

>If some guy on the street is calling me ugly, fat, or stupid and I walk to him and clock him in the jaw, it's still assault and I would still be charged. The same should apply to jail guards.

I agree that if a jail guard just walked up to somebody who spoke ill of them on the street and punched them, they should be charged.

But I don't think that things should be simplified that much in the correctional environment because there is a big difference. If inmates were loudly talking down to guards and acting belligerent, that would present a disruption to the orderly running of the institution. It would also set a standard for other inmates to act in that manner. Does that mean I'm saying corrections personnel should feel free to beat inmates at any opportunity? No. But the jail and prison environment has more complex factors at play when inmates act up than just somebody is making fun of me.
This is just the opportunity Vancouver needs. They have been laying infrastructure to attract startups, and have been working on plans for a highspeed train between Vancouver and Seattle which are only 2.5 hours apart...
I've thought about it. I've even contended in debates that if society restored respect for civil service the situation would likely improve.

Anecdotally I've known multiple people pretty well before they became cops. They were all good people and believed everyone had rights. Then, the gang mentality set in. Now is "us" versus "them". It got to the point where I no longer associate with them.

It sure is a tough problem.
I have never been to either of the cities, my question is a question of curiosity, that is why I qualified it with probably being a dumb question.
That's a good point, and I don't know. Though I would propose that there's a difference between chronic stressor and short term stressors. In the case of exercise you're fluctuating up and down, in the case of a nicotine patch, you might be more constantly stressed.
