Thanks for posting. This is something I would love to do. Applied!
The biggest mistake (or genius move, depending on how you look at it), IMO that Facebook made is to show you cards in your feed about what your friends liked or commented on or when a totally random person says something about your friend. You don't know any of the parties involved in this but somehow are being shoved a photo, a video, or something else about them.

Obviously this is the addictive part for a large number of people, an endless stream of crap to keep looking at. Had the exact opposite effect on me. It finally drove me away from Facebook. I just realized my feed was utterly useless at that point.

I don't know that con men who inherited their wealth count as successful.
Blocking other speakers isn't speech, and it is not protected. Speaking out against an invited speaker is free speech, but if they were successful in blocking an invitation, that would be grounds for a lawsuit against the university.

So, condemning China for their attempts to block a speaker isn't so wrong. They have the right to say what they like. However, when they say "this is trampling my free speech rights" they're just as wrong as democrats who felt that way about Milo at Berkeley.

It often takes a lawsuit to demonstrate what is and isn't free speech. There are some good examples on thefire.org [1] which I learned about during the Yale Halloween costume debacle.

You can't accuse people of commenting in bad faith when you simply disagree with their comment. Please don't call names ("laughable" "hyperbolic argument" "you're here in bad faith".)

If you cut everything except your last sentence, the result is a good comment.
Respectfully, you're dancing around the issue.

What it would betray is the reality that not all wealth is earned equally. Yes, there are plenty of people that earn through effort and merit. But to look at one's environment (wether in a first, second, or third world country) and not see how much wealth is created through cheating is ludicrous. When someone walks into a bank with a gun and empties the registers, it's easy for us to see how that's criminal. But someone who empties a bank via Wall Street, etc. is just doing their job I suppose.

According to the announcement, two main factors motivating the switch were calendar tools and having "modern" tools, which I interpret as having a better web-based UI.

While Roundcube is OK, and personally I like Zimbra as the best turn-key system (webmail+calendar, which we use for our company), their UIs are a bit outdated and feel like second-class solutions.
Not successful. He just inherited Daddy's money and grew that money at a slower rate than the market.
Good. Let's see what the SV folk do with the SF NIMBY folk. There should be enough socially minded individuals in SV with the Google or Apple like money to go to zoning meetings to allow more than 5 story buildings. Time for the SJW folk at those companies to put their future property money where their controlling mouths are.
> In my experience, it's the people with the least experience with immigrants who have the most objection to immigration.

Same in Germany. The most persistent protests against immigration are in Saxony, where only 3.0% of the population are foreigners (compared to 9.4% national average).

Source: https://www.destatis.de/DE/ZahlenFakten/GesellschaftStaat/Be... (I'm looking at the columns specifically titled "Foreigner". "German with migration background" includes additional immigrants that gained German citizenship, but also a whole slew of people who were displaced after WW2 when the German borders were redrawn.)

What else is "scripting" but that act of making a very small automation of a business function? Is a customized spreadsheet a tool?

There's always going to be demand for tools of many kinds, so whatever you're offering has to differentiate better than "internal tool". The abstract you give is kind of like a software framework, possibly with some form of high level scripting, configurator, or wizard to guide the user.

At the end of the day always evaluate your solution against a short bash or Python script. Did your solution gain anything? If not, why?
There are no global state mutations in pkgs until you need a custom package, and then you're overriding the global state with your own custom state.

Plus, some outbreaks happen even in vaccinated communities. There aren't many people who are totally against vaccines. Most just recognize that hitting kids with the recommended onslaught of vaccines is associated with a higher percentage of kids suddenly mentally handicapped or dead or paralyzed. Vaccines are often beneficial, but they're not risk free.

I'm sure someone will eventually object to the negative portrayals of witches in fairy tales. There's no safe topics once you give in to this direction.
I use it and really like it to share photography and keep in touch, but I think its degraded a lot recently.

So many people share articles that they've never read, they're really just sharing a headline. Or post from useless meme pages (I can go to reddit or something for that). So I have hidden almost every article source ("Hide all from Buzzfeed/NYT/science memes page" etc)

All I want to see are people's mundane life updates and baby photos, personal projects, and other "lives of my friends" things. I love that facebook is an open letter system to your friends, I just wish more people would use it that way.
Hey Tony, I'm interested in a Vimeo specific job. Is there an email where I can apply for that position?
That's the one I should've thought of. I said fab but who trusts them to know what's on it!? Haha.
This reminds me a bit of The Last One, a program for generating business software on demand. It was released in 1981 and supposed to be the last program you'd ever need to buy. You can guess how that (and every subsequent such product) turned out in the end.

That's not to say don't try, but be aware that this is harder than it looks!
To complete the circle, however, Al Jazeera's China related journalism is excellent. And generally they seem to push the envelope in what they cover.

And for their home turf, would you like to suggest a better source for middle-east related news?
This is still very wrong. US debit cards work with any credit card-accepting POS. If you can enter 16 digits and expiration date and get a charge, your debit card will deduct that amount from your checking account for you.
One of the people listed makes $175,000 he can easily afford his own apartment at, conservatively, $3000/month, or he can have a couple roommates and pay around $1000-1400/month. He chooses not to so he can save money and use the amenities at his work. You shouldn't be allowed to live in cars on the street, people paying property taxes are paying for those streets.

Free parking is the problem here, you shouldn't be able to leave your car on the street anywhere for long periods, especially not living in it. If you do this you are taking advantage of the system supported by tax paying owners and renters.

If the cost of the car registration included the true cost of parking on city streets living in your car would likely be much less attractive for these people who can afford housing but simply choose not to.

If all we can do is feel distressed and lie down, then we are simply enabling the opposition. Apathy is quite cancerous.
I spent some time building an internal tool for rapid testing during our implementations at the time. Maybe two weeks to initial concept, 3 months later it was driving a surge in our team profitability. A decade later the idea has spawned at least three separate companies, a couple of patents (not necessarily in love with that), and an evolution of that idea is how I feed my family.

Internal tools can be just another tool that makes people's lives easier. They can be an albatross when they become someone's little fiefdom, or they can become Slack. You never know where they can go, but the bigger questions before I go building my own:

Is there anything that already gets me close? Usually

Can we change how we're doing things to better fit something that exists?
I end up coding in-house versions of things like language and document parsers that are available open source, just for licensing reasons. For example, a lot of open source licences only kick in when you distribute the derived work, and that's fine, but it's not clear whether the on-premise instance of our service that the Chinese government runs is a "distribution" or if that's still in-house.
OT: I am from a large-ish city in Eastern Europe. I grew up calling clothes hangers "trempel". Everyone in my town did. Neither my parents nor my grandparents knew that they had a different name throughout the rest of the Russian speaking word ("plechiki" translated as "little shoulders") and that Trempel was actually a last name of an early manufacturer of them in my area. It's sort of a Xerox vs copy machine thing except here I wouldn't have recognized the other word for it at all, and people from outside my region wouldn't have recognized mine.
Exactly. A program that solves this problem could probably also program the external tools too.
The Bad Grade That Changed the U.S. Constitution
China doesn't represent Anglo Saxon culture or ideals. Canada, NZ, Australia, the UK and the US are the reason we have freedom of everything.
Facebook makes me miserable because it has become the defacto medium for social communication. When decent alternatives arrive offering end to end encryption, Facebook goes and buys them.

Say what you will, but WhatsApp/Messenger usage statistics correlated with Facebook usage statistics of less privacy conscious contacts can still paint a pretty damn good picture (read marketing profile).

You literally can't use any popular (digital) communication methods without opening yourself to advertisers or those wanting to buy an election. It's a minor miracle we still have email.
the IPs for redhat's MXs are still redhat owned, unless they are doing some kind of proxy setup, seems like they still control their own mail.
Perfect, let's downplay Israel by shitting on China!

In reality, both of these are clear examples of how the victor gets to write the history books. By getting rid of the conversations, this is unequivocally censorship.
It's not really a myth if your pediatrician won't do it. And though I see the idea as valid, I'm not really going to fight against the vaccination schedule that every pediatrician wants to stick to.
sorry, but i think he's totally correct and it's a good faith comparison. they're both speakers that have been subject to offended parties try to shut down their speeches. there's no reason besides base tribalism to think one is appropriate to shut down and the other isn't. the principle of free speech is why we should allow both to speak publicly, as well as any detractors who wish to protest.
A Post-Work Proletariat? Marxist Thought and the End of Labor
I think gp is saying that the first action legitimizes the second by setting precedent, so it's difficult to call the second action illegitimate.

It doesn't if you're in the AR/VR or Video game space. It'll tend to be Windows centric. Server side stuff might be Linux but as you've alluded the client development will target Windows (e.g. HoloLens SDK requires Windows/MS Studio).

Only suggestion I'd make is learn to use the Command-Line with your tools (where possible) and practise writing scripts to optimise your workflow. If you do that it'll make the transition to a NIX a little less foreign.
the chinese government may not care what left wing american students have to say, but if those students establish a precedent that speakers deemed 'offensive' can be shut down solely for that reason, then the groundwork is laid for parties who _aren't_ left wing students to abuse that precedent as well. this is why we must defend the principle of free speech even when we disagree with the speakers.
But it doesn't! That's the point. Otherwise the lottery winners kids would be better off since they could go to better schools and afford college. In general there's little evidence that education makes any difference at all.
No, there are a lot of articles. There are hardly any facts in any of them, I keep checking for that and getting disappointed. If you can find something with more facts, distill them and point me at them please.

The best we ever got on a technical level was that original report from the DNC consultants where most of the IP addresses in the "signature" were Tor exit nodes and they didn't recognize an old, freeware copy of P.A.S. despite it being publicly available.

We've had a lot of utterly laughable things, like the one where someone was intercepting the DNS traffic for a 3rd party marketing site weakly linked to Trump that was making queries to a Russian bank... because of some Russian spam. I can't help but note that the same people keep falling for nonsense of this level.

However, feel free to link to the actual technicals of the reports if you have any. Despite the prior reports being stuff and nonsense (but mostly the latter), I remain open to changing my mind should anyone offer actual proof of some sort. Please note that I'm looking for logs, IP addresses, code and other things that could qualify as actual evidence, not so-and-so's say-so.

The closest this article got to facts were various bits of speculation about people's motives, claiming that Trend Micro thinks it matches this APT (for reasons they didn't bother to cover) and links to past coverage... that also fails to answer any of the obvious questions about what we know and how we know it, for which the usual answer in the past has been variations on interviews with unnamed people, appeals to classified data not in evidence, or random "experts" giving an opinion without disclosing any of the facts used to form that opinion.

In short, it's a lot of hearsay. I follow more or less this process:

https://www.popehat.com/2017/01/19/how-to-read-news-like-a-s...

Most news currently fails this test. I completely ignore all articles that fail the test as unreliable, even when I happen to agree with the conclusions. This applies to other articles as well, not just controversial things.
They're trying to launch in the US. The USA doesn't
> At that point China is going to need to really think things out from basic principles and decide what sort of country it wants to be over the long term. That will take a great deal of intelligent, independent thinking. Alas, that is just what Xi Jinping is doing his best to stamp out.

I'd take the other side for a moment and suggest he may be doing what he thinks is best for unity in China.

Democracy isn't something you can just slap on top of anything. It starts from the ground up because it is built by the people.

Any form of government is always going to be concerned about some form of popular uprising. Negative sentiment isn't good for Trump, and it wouldn't be good for Xi either.

I agree with you that China needs to think things from basic principles. I'm just not sure whether my ideas about applying these within China are more or less correct than Xi's. Ultimately I think that's really up to the Chinese people.

On the one hand, democracy in China seems inevitable as their population grows more wealthy and has free time to demand a better life. On the other, it seems the nationalist side will always be able to say that any attempts to achieve democracy are the result of foreign agents. Perhaps China will achieve democracy when the West's fails. That would be a sight.
Do recall that Google itself couldn't even get a couple small bridges built in mountain view to save the polluting commute of its own workers between parts of campus.

I disagree, if the KKK puts on a protest today they are not doing to block shit. Protests have power with they are backed up by commen sentiment and nobody opposes them. But, attention is fractal in nature so if only some subgroup cares about an issue the same rules apply to that sub group.
Liar.
I'm guessing a power law applies to what percentage of the elite are killed during any given revolution throughout history. Nonetheless, I'd still like to prevent revolutions; and I don't think revolutions being associated with a power law makes them inevitable or immutable.
Also, the term coocoo/kookoo (however you wanna spell it..) typically has a negative connotation attached to it.
> Israel's been doing this for a long time. Try inviting pro-Palestinian activists to campus and see what happens.

Having spent some time on college campuses recently, the exact opposite is the case.

Why not? You cite taxes. If i am allowed to park my car overnight somewhere, what would disallow me from sleeping in that same car over the same period?

To be fair, this was a minor scandal that was covered by all the press in the UK.
There is a popular (but IMHO terrible) Chinese science fiction book called "The three body problem" which tackles this exact issue.
Ask HN: Stories of startup persistence
I've recently closed the doors on my 6th bootstrapped startup in 15 years. This is in addition to many, many side projects that i wouldn't​ consider calling a startup. I've never been able to find product/market fit. I'm getting better, and thanks to ideas from lean startup, each attempt is taking less time and resources, but i cant help but wonder if I'm cut out for this. Are there any examples of founders who tried and failed multiple times before getting their big success?
You'd need to be finding the permutations for a list ~1000 elements long, but for such a list there are far too many permutations for such a request to be meaningful.
It isn't a legal right, it is a de facto right.

Generally speaking, only left leaning speakers are allowed on campuses.

Generally speaking, only pro-immigration speech is allowed in polite company.

This story, at least to me, also illustrates Chinese immigrants aren't interested in immigrating to other countries because they like the culture, way of life, etc and are choosing them as a new home to raise their families (well, this is part of it of course), but perhaps even unbeknownst to themselves, they have a strong intention to modify their host cultures into a form more like what they are used to.
> Could you please elaborate how someone not-vaxing who gets sick can hurt a vaxed person?

Because vaccines, while very effective, are less than perfectly effective. Vaccines have a first order effect of reducing the vaccinated person's chance of getting the disease when exposed, and a second order effect of reducing everyone else's chance of getting exposed.
as a rule, alj's reporting for things outside of the middle east are reliably pretty good. inside the middle east they have more obvious biases, particularly w/r/t qatar. if you have specific quibbles with anything said in this documentary, by all means raise them, but if you're just going to throw shade without any specific substantiation then you probably shouldn't bother.
If you're not careful with how you do those things, though, then you'll be unable to send mail through quite a bit of standard mailing list software. It's possible to configure some (not all) of those in a way that allows mailing lists to work, but some of them are just completely incompatible.

@Sreyanth: Internal tools of a given type? Perhaps. Sounds payment orientated. You need to put this in the title.

I would also like to point out that you're asking people whether they want to be an early "adapter" of a product you haven't described or referenced. "I think I just developed" doesn't install any confidence into startup wanting to adopt your mystery software, either you have or you haven't.

Opinion: What you're describing sounds like a large API. I think you may struggle to get adoption if you're looking for money from this software.
No, because they're a lot funner to code than customer-facing tools.

Passionate user base. For good reason IMO. Never needed a TODO app or "productivity" suite. Plain text. Never going to worry about vendor lock in. Put it on Dropbox or whatever if you want "cloud" stuff. And once you use it a while it rewards you with depth and features. You can take your notes and do so much with them. It is a rich ecosystem. I think other tools should always give it a try,Ike Vimflowy though.
Google is just one voice. There are people that actually pay taxes on their homes there. Enough of those people should be able to raise a fuss, any fuss. I don't think they will. P(Fussing | SWJ) = .01. There's my odds.

So, which argument are you trying to make? Respect the content creator's wishes or let the ad industry die? Would it make sense to you that those are largely exclusive positions?

If you work for a company that profits from an advertising platform and you argue that the logical extension of an ad blocker is a content blocker all you are doing is strongly asserting the intellectual property rights of your employer.

What you imply when you make that argument is that users must acquiesce to your TOS as this hypothetical content blocker is, on its face, absurd.

If you wanted to clarify your position further, perhaps you could state to this community whether or not you would support the extension of the DMCA to ad-blockers? Should it be illegal to use one? This would go a long way towards clarifying your positions which, up until now, are somewhat confusing - i.e., it's much simpler for us to conclude that you argue for advertising networks simply because you work for one.
