Ask HN: Best chat client for company use
I would like to introduce a chat client into our company. Writing mails and dealing with the overhead for something like "no, make it #3c3c3b" just slows everything down.

Right now I am probably the only one using the "fancy" "new" stuff like Slack and as I work for a quite traditional printing company it will need some time to get new things up and running.

Ease of use is a big point and it must run on almost everything (old Macs + Windows systems but also the newest of both worlds, tablet support would be great).

Now I wonder whether Slack is the way to go because it got channels, which I find great, or if there is something better.

I even thought about setting up an IRC server and using that, but... well... traditional company...

Any ideas on this?
What works for me is eating in the evening (from 6pm to when I go to bed), mostly low-carb, and then not eating until the next evening. I do drink coffee over the day, which contains some fat (if not filter coffee).

I often do running in the morning, in that case I have some protein-heavy stuff afterwards to ensure that my body doesn't burn muscle tissue instead of fat.

This works well to reduce body fat at a rate of about 1-1.5kg per week.

Low-carb and in particular low sugar is really key for not being hungry over the day. Sugar is basically the recipe for getting hungry very soon again for me.

I think that "works for me" is really important though here.

I did not buy 64GB of flash storage so Facebook could be lazy. I bought 64GB of flash storage to store media that gets noticeably better, to a point, when you throw more bits at it.

Things that are smaller than Facebook's iOS app:

- Windows, through at least Windows 95, if you count stuff written to disk during install

- The Java Runtime Environment

- Eclipse IDE

- Google Chrome for OS X (beware—updater leaves old versions in the app bundle)

- Firefox for OS X

- Pokémon Go

- A two-disc set encoded in 256kbps AAC

And to add insult to injury, Messenger is another 155MB, and is a separate app for some reason, probably with a second copy of that bigger-than-the-JRE-by-itself FBSharedFramework.

And while the sudden almost 300MB is new, the "I can't believe this is a Web service front-end and not an experimental operating system" bloat has been with us for a while.

That makes it somewhat misleading when the article says the game has 121 million players. I somewhat doubt 121 million people play the Windows 10 version. I wonder if the journalist even knows the difference.
Too expensive, too slow.

We're having this conversation with Hinkley Point C in the UK. It's going to get subsidised more than wind power and it's going to take a decade to build.

If you start building reactors now, then in a decade you end up with a bunch of eternal liabilities that are more expensive than renewables+storage will likely be by then.

You must be selling to very small businesses then. Still, your digital services probably involve a website, for which you pay VAT that could otherwise claim back - or is your ISP also not VAT registered? In that case you'd be in a very, very small minority. Even hosting out of your bedroom you'd be paying vat on the iron you buy and the connection you use. And of course there's vat on all your desktop/laptop hardware, consumables, your chair, your desk...
It seems fairly trivial to keep a lifetime count of the on-time for individual pixels (or even just subregions) and adjust the tint based upon that.

This could be fairly easily solved, although doing this in real time at 4K would require custom silicon.
Yep. Anyone who has bothered to look at the numbers would likely agree with you. To that end:

- Here are my numbers on German solar & wind capacity factors (nuclear generally achieves 90% by comparison): https://gist.github.com/anonymous/f1a6d064890d67fbfc98d66dbd...

- The view of the Brookings Institute in 2014: http://www.brookings.edu/~/media/research/files/papers/2014/...

Their base-case assumption is a $50 per tonne price on co2 emissions, and they use a 'costs avoided' methodology so that things like cost of system stabilisation (e.g. grid batteries due to intermittent generation) are factored in as well. The paper concludes:

Assuming that reductions in carbon dioxide emissions are valued at $50 per metric ton and the price of natural gas is not much greater than $16 per million Btu, the net benefits of new nuclear, hydro, and natural gas combined cycle plants far outweigh the net benefits of new wind or solar plants. Wind and solar power are very costly from a social perspective because of their very high capacity cost, their very low capacity factors, and their lack of reliability.

For example, adjusting U.S. solar and wind capacity factors to take account of lack of reliability, we estimate that it would take 7.30 MW of solar capacity, costing roughly four times as much per MW to produce the same electrical output with the same degree of reliability as a baseload gas combined cycle plant. It requires an investment of approximately $29 million in utility-scale solar capacity to produce the same output with the same reliability as a $1 million investment in gas combined cycle. Reductions in the price of solar photovoltaic panels have reduced costs for utility-scale solar plants, but photovoltaic panels account for only a fraction of the cost of a solar plant. Thus such price reductions are unlikely to make solar power competitive with other electricity technologies without government subsidies.

Wind plants are far more economical in reducing emissions than solar plants, but much less economical than hydro, nuclear and gas combined cycle plants. Wind plants can operate at a capacity factor of 30 percent or more and cost about twice as much per MW to build as a gas combined cycle plant. Taking account of the lack of wind reliability, it takes an investment of approximately $10 million in wind plants to produce the same amount of electricity with the same reliability as a $1 million investment in gas combined cycle plants.
Yeah, we do. "Mid double figures" might make sense in the context of use, but my first evaluation of that phrase isn't a value less than 20.

I've never been truly addicted to my phone, even though I've had a smartphone since before they were a thing (HP iPaq, running Windows CE). I've always been app-phobic on phones, only ever installing the minimum that I need. As such the notification problem has never been an issue. If my phone is flashing, it means I've missed a call, or there's a text message. That's it. Most people don't use SMS anymore for casual conversation, so I don't get pinged about those until I'm in front of a computer.

I do like having a web browser in my pocket though. I'm old, and I was there when dial-up BBS's gave way to basic dial-up internet. I used the internet as a resource, and I still mostly have that mindset. It's not an entertainment platform for me - I fire up a browser when I want to find something out, and then I close it again. However I do watch the odd fun YouTube video from time to time (not on my phone tho).

This switching away from being always-online seems to be picking up as a trend. I think it's a good thing. Like all things, the internet should only be used in moderation.

The internet is a tool, no different from a shovel or a paintbrush, and you don't spend all day carrying those around and looking at them, do you?

We've already felt the first major problem (to the west) of global warming, mass migration. Most recent wars have had environmental issues as part of the cause. Syria's mismanagement of the water table, Rwanda's water shortages. Most conflicts seem to occur near the equator, and in deserts.

I don't think it's as much a design for designers but a design for users. It's a guideline that all apps can follow so that the user doesn't have to relearn every single app and is more likely to know where to find stuff. As far as aesthetics go it's not the greatest yes, but it doesn't have to be. Having a good looking foundation on which to base your app is great. If you really want it can always be innovated. There's plenty of nice changes you can find in different apps and it's always evolving.
That waste problem was already theoretically solved in the 1950s: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fast_breeder_reactor

170k dead, and millions displaced. And, honestly, I think the outcry would be furious if such a dam disaster occurred today in the USA, rather than China in 1975.

Without sounding like I'm belittling the scale of that disaster, I still think of flood recovery as being relatively "short term" (a decade or two) compared to the aftermath of a nuclear meltdown (decades, possibly hundreds of years). That Chernobyl wasn't(/isn't) a bigger problem is partly due to reasonably effective intervention by an international team. The potential here is frightening enough that I don't think we should need high body counts to weigh the consequences.

Nobody seems to mention cars, they run on burning fossils and they are a large factor due to the amount of cars in use (ever increasing worldwide).
Forcing the industry to replace the exhaust by whatever thing which does not consume fossils to create energy (directly or indirectly e.g. by electrical power that needs to be generated by burning coal) is what might contribute a lot to a better atmosphere (at least in the cities), and could even be good for the economy (as opposed to cost).
Renewable energy production without burning fossils should be invested in. The only candidate for now to cover the consumption is nuclear (solar or wind power requires too much space and looks bad, so here you go with your efforts).

Interesting set of values there. I've got to say that being in a country where certain classes of advertising are forbidden and the rest is subject to (pretty minimal) accuracy regulation feels like it makes me freer and happier rather than the other way round.

The increase in global population is not necessarily exponential. A lot of it can be explained by increases in life expectancy, and those increases seem to have - for now - a relatively fixed limit. Longer life expectancy does not increase the number of children each person has (for the most part, leaving ageing rock stars to one side).

Greater wealth seems to also have discourage people from having children if the birth rates in wester countries are any indication.

I think we can do more to tackle the specific problems you mention through regulation and better policy, whereas a falling global population on its own would do little or nothing to combat them.
First, note that that wouldn't change with electricity being massless; the argument in the paper I mentioned would.

Turns out it was in 1921, but either way: there was a dentist who blocked his electricity meter by putting a pen in it (it was one of those that turned to take the measurement). The question was: did this qualify as 'theft', because, according to Dutch penal code, theft requires the 'appropriation of any good'. The argument was that electricity is not a 'good' (Dutch civil law has a particular concept of a 'good', and being physical is one of the criteria. Note also that I'm not writing a paper here, and that I'm using loose translations for terms that are well-known concepts, so I'm probably making several technical mistakes here). The Supreme Court however decided that electricity was still a 'good' because it represented economic value (that was one line of reasoning, they didn't actually say 'electricity has mass, hence it's physical, hence it's a good'). The paper I mentioned then concluded from this that the Supreme Court had decided that electricity has mass (because it was considered a 'good', and 'goods' need to be physical - which is why e.g. what we now call intellectual property is not a 'good'. This has far-reaching consequences.)

So the paper went on to qualify virtual swords as goods, and then proceeded from there. There are more criteria for being a 'good', like something has to be uniquely identifiable; so the author couldn't make a straight analogy to the electricity case to make his case for virtual swords being 'goods'; I don't recall the details exactly but in the end, his qualification of virtual swords as 'goods' came down to electricity having mass. He said, essentially, that the 'sword' is the movement of electrons through systems, and that therefore it could be qualified as 'theft'. There was a separate argument about intellectual property as well of course, I don't recall either, but there was a reason that wasn't material in the precise question being asked. The whole point was of looking at the case of some people (physically) forcing a boy to transfer his virtual sword to them in some online game, and whether that constituted 'theft' or 'robbery' (which requires some aspects of the 'theft' aspect).

(Edit: also, the paper was written by an engineer who also had a law degree (maybe this paper was part of his degree, I forgot.) This is not some case of 'haha idiot lawyer'.)

I'd actually prefer that, too. Especially prescription medications: there have been awful studies about correlations between patients asking their doctor (as the ads say) and getting that specific Rx even when unnecessary.

I also don't know how to get there constitutionally without somehow differentiating advertising from speech (the Court has declined every opportunity, which should be obvious from the term of art "commercial speech") or relitigating Central Hudson. I also don't know whether yielding on the Constitution in cases like these compromises my values. See where I'm coming from? All it takes is one case of ignoring the First or Fourteenth in particular and getting away with establishing some bad precedent. That's a future that would concern me greatly.

I've seen some folks arguing for jailing fake news authors here on HN. Ignoring parts of our Constitution feels good to think about in order to address a squeaky wheel. The ramifications of where that steers the whole cart over potentially decades must be carefully studied, however, some amendments far more than others (the First being one of those).

He's definitely also talking about having control over your own content, which seems to be a big issue with huge sites, such as Facebook or YouTube.

Not to mention that by hosting yourself, you're not subject to "changing at our discretion" terms of service.

So you say, doesn't make it true. The source of the problem is every person; increase the number, worsen the problem.
I agree you can write your Sass like that and 'do both', and I'm all for writing good Sass and building up higher level abstractions for re-use where you can.

However, there's no denying the reusability of classes like 'col-xs-4', despite the knee jerk hatred of that 'non-semantic' class from some in this thread, and I maintain that if all you needed was a col-xs-4 and your team know what col-xs-4 is, then why not just stick it in your HTML.

It doesn't make it less 'readable' for your team, and they're the primary audience.

> You can do either one without the other, but you should be doing both.

I guess I'm disagreeing you should always be doing both. Do both (create a new semantic class-name) where it makes sense. But when you already have a reusable class that does the job, and all of your team will understand, just use it.

The main issue with used server hardware that is a couple generations old is that they use a lot of power. E.g. it's no problem to buy dual or quad port Intel server adapters for like 20 Euros, but these draw 6 / 10 W, while newer ones (e.g. those based on the i210-series) draw much less than 1 W/port.

Similarly older storage controllers require more power even when idle, older CPUs and mainboards draw more power when idle. Fan control in server boards has improved somewhat, and these can draw a lot of power (....just ask any Sun Fire server....) as well.

>I understand peak child has been reached

This is certainly not true on a regional basis, and I can hardly say with confidence that stagnating population levels in Europe really warrant African families having upwards of 10 children on average when the land can hardly feed the current population as is.

We are talking about huge numbers here if African population really does increase by 3 billion during this century. FWIW, I'm not going to stop driving and start walking so someone else's children can do the pollution instead of me and it levels out.
