I tend to "buy in bulk" to save money on everything. It's a blessing and a curse: a blessing because I save a lot of money over the long-term, but a curse because I have to spend more upfront. This goes for everything from my grocery shopping to my shopping online.

So to save costs online...

I use DreamObjects from DreamHost. It is pretty much AWS but with DH branding. I registered for it when it first came out and was considered "beta" and nabbed a deal where I have 2¢/GB of storage up to 1TB of data. But their other plans aren't bad at all.

At one point I had DreamPress for $16 a month, which was their optimized WordPress hosting, which normally costs $19.95 a month, but I managed to grab that in beta as well. Eventually, I let this go and moved my websites over to the Cloud.

When I first signed up for DreamHost, I purchased their "Happy Hosting" (Shared Hosting) plan for 10 years which puts my hosting costs at $5.95 a month. Then I just charge my clients that price and it has paid for itself. As far as cloud costs go... DreamHost also released an amazing product called DreamCompute, which gives me cloud computing @ 512 MB for $4.50 or 1 GB for $6.00, with a 80 GB of storage space and 100 GB storage block. Free bandwidth for the time being.

I have gotten some great deals... but have missed out on a lot too. I had gotten AWS once and hosted my website there and somehow managed to wrack up so much on an invoice that I pretty much emailed Amazon and told them to give me a refund because... for a website that wasn't active, bots slammed it, and I was being charged for the bandwidth. Luckily, they refunded the entire price. So I've just found a better solution and savings with DreamHost.

My average costs per month, not counting the Shared Hosting that I already pre-paid for, are about $8-$10 a month for hosting my images on DreamHost's AWS (DreamObjects) and my websites now on DreamHost's Cloud Servers (DreamCompute). I've never really had any "surprise" charges on my invoice like I did just giving AWS a trial run. Definitely recommend.
Ask HN: Fear of launching a product
I work on different type of ideas and side projects. So far I have worked on around 7-8 large projects. With only 1 of them being what I call success.

One thing I noticed is that, I always have this fear of failure right before the product is finished. When this mindset sets in, I become less productive. Even though I sit in front of the PC and ready to work, my mind simply won't let me work. It lets other thoughts pass through and I get depressed. I suddenly become a pessimist losing the belief in my own work.

My success ratio is there as a good evidence for my mind. The downside with launching and failing is that if you get 1-10 users/customers, you can't kill off the project. You have to sustain support and server infrastructure, which is an extra burden.

3 of the projects I spent months on I didn't even launch, I lost all belief in it.

Has anyone else experienced such, and how did you convince yourself to carry on with the launch?

Hmm,

Getting past the dominance of your legal rights under laws you can influence...

Getting past your having a representative government where you're more than one six-billionth of the vote...

Getting past your sense of belonging to any kind of a shared culture...

...to that glorious future where you receive the beneficence and wisdom of multinational corporations directing each facet of your lives, untrammelled by that old fashioned notion that you and your compatriots might have concerns about how they operate, and may require them to conform to your expectations, rather than your society conform to theirs...

Sorry, but I think I'll hang on to the idea of having a national parliament full of politicians that we can all bemoan, but that sometimes actually defends our interest.

Where is this Makerspace? Sounds awesome.

Tesla should make their liquid cooled battery packs for the conversion market.

Of course their market cap dictates they can't go so low margin, but if the Tesla beast collapses (next market downturn?)... someone should be ready to jump in and convert their battery tech into these turnkey solutions for other manufacturers / converters.
You make a good point, but his argument then quickly boils down to anarchist style stuff which isn't worth a debate in my opinion. If you removed all these power structures somehow, they would just be replaced by other (probably identical) power structures.

> The nation-state arose as a protective force to ensure that violence occurred only within well-defined wars at the edges of their territories, and citizens could basically count on peace when not at war. It basically succeeded at that, but it succeeded so well that the "battlegrounds" now have nothing to do with physical location and often little to do with physical force.

This is an interesting idea, so suppose the nation state is eliminated. Wouldn't there just be a new equivalent of the nation state that arises that is based not around physical borders but around digital borders in some way? People are always going to disagree about fundamental ideas, and they're going to band together to protect their ability to live according to those ideas. Which brings us back to the article's point #1: "Nation states, true to their name, tend to emphasize the interests of a particular nation above others.". We'll just end up with that again but instead of the US sanctioning Russia, we're going to have 4chan, reddit, and instagram launching DDoS attacks against each others' users.

Then they created a foundation that only give away a few % of the money, investing the rest, so they can make money with paying less taxes. They were caught blatlanty investing in the weapon industry while promoting peace on earth.

Oh and 45% of the money never reached the project.

Well, rich people move to Belgium to pay (a lot) less tax (popular among Dutch and Americans for instance: you can go to mansion towns like Schilde and Braschaat and find only American and Dutch legal tax evading millionairs); so as with everywhere, you will need to force the rich to pay like everyone all over the world at which point the problem will already look different. Sure they might have worked for that money but paying less or no tax: how is that fair? Won't happen soon though.
You must realize the challenge of something start way, way sooner than when you start building it.

To make a project of this magnitude:

- your PR must be on point;

- you must gather the proper support;

- you must find en entry point to your problem;

- you must decide of a plan for the money in and out.

- you must do ALL that in parallel.

- and then you'll have several other projects working in parallel, and some will be better than others. And you will have to choose. But you must do the same money/power/pr gathering routing for every single one, even the ones you drops.

That's true that its hard to scale human powered search engines. But on other side we've platforms like Wikipedia and Quora, who are using a right balance of tech and crowdsourcing for content curation.
Ilegal alien frames people as primarily criminals who are not like us (and should get out).

Undocumented frames people as lacking official documentation for the lives they lead (so we should document them). That is illegal, yes, but the terminology puts the emphasis in a different place.

Would you say "person who struggled with narcotics addiction" or "felon"? People who were addicted to hard drugs at one point possessed them, and are necessarily criminals in the same way that people who are in the US without corresponding records in government databases are necessarily criminals. Which word you choose depends on how you want the audience to feel about them.

Illegal vs. undocumented is just a code word for your view on immigration policy (with illegal being more neutral, undocumented being specifically liberal).
The problem, I find, is that Google results tend to be OK until there is a commercial intent. Then you just get the biggest advertiser, biggest brand (sometimes 3 links for the same thing) and most seo optimised results.

A human curated alternative would, likely, end the same way as the urge to monetise such a resource would be overwhelming.
I thought it was because both Snowden and Greenwald believed that the US would identify him sooner or later and if his identity wasn't public the CIA would quietly arrest him illegally abroad, like they did to others before, and nobody would even know.

> Isn't the C API CPython specific? It is not a Python-language feature.

But the Python ecosystem depends on extensions written using the C API. If you are trying to write a new Python implementation and they tell you they need to be able to run some C extension you can tell them 'actually that's a CPython feature' all you want, but they'll go away and not use your implementation.

> How would the C API be expected to work with Jython, or IronPython, or a JS implementation?

Well you'd implement the same API using JNI, PlatformInvoke, or the V8 C extension API, or whatever else the platform you are building on has, respectively. But it's hard!

Well, apart from the protection racket aspects of it that are going on at the moment.

Ah, this is a nice country. It would be a shame if something were to happen to it. I'm so sorry you were thinking of leaving, and stopping paying us billions per year. We really must ask you to hand over a hundred billion before we'll talk about any kind of trading relationship with you -- it would be such a shame if we happened to design the barriers in such a way that would accidentally maximise harm to your economy. But you know you're always welcome to stay and keep paying us just a few billion each year.

Jeeze... To call what I said a judgement is a bit over the top. It is an opinion, not a criticism, as there is nothing personal in my statement. Don't be too precious.
And I was not disagreeing with it.

At least in Europe, I have never seen anyone ask for pre existing medical conditions unless getting specialized private insurance. I have never heard of any residency permit being based on medical history in Europe. I would imagine it to be illegal?

I'm currently in Italy myself, and my father was visiting me and got a nasty case of pneumonia on the way over. Here in italy care is (mostly) free,as is his hospital stay here in genova. While it may be not to the full American standard, his care has been great, and the staff wonderful.

I'm glad to be in a system here where Healthcare is good, and affordable, and that with this episode my father is not bankrupted or in considerable debt because of it, especially as an elderly patient. La dolce vita.

A bit OT, but this post made me think: how do countries provide good health care? does it always have to be government sponsored, otherwise it would be not affordable? And how does the government pay for it, given that the money has to come from taxpayers?

Because otherwise I don't understand why the market can't provide good health insurance in the US? Isn't that a classic insurance problem, take a group of people and spread out the risk?

What is going on? Is medicine too expensive because of state subsidies, so private insurers can't compete? Or are there regulations preventing private insurers from entering the market?
True. My point was that people spend a considerable amount of energy/time going to work, so might as well "apply" oneself. Not sure if that's what you mean by glory. But the two are usually linked.
Maybe(?) the comment is preachy, but the sentiment is borne of goodwill and of course, reality. It's a wake up and I personally need to get on to this.
Thailand. They don't give permanent residency here anyway. The laws on the books make it sound as if they do but in reality they don't. So you have to find another way to stay long term. For young people they make it difficult unless you can land a job (few jobs for foreigners here) or start a business (expensive and designed to fleece foreigners, beware). Other ways are retirement visa, spouse support visa, education visa, long stay medical care visa. Staying long term on a tourist visa and doing visa runs every month is dumb and doesn't work anymore anyway since they cracked down on it.

If you can manage the visa issue then you can get excellent care at a tiny fraction of what you pay in the US. Over the years I have had surgery, been hospitalized for an illness, had a fair amount of dental work, and had thorough medical exams annually. It's not just the low cost. The service and hospitality is unlike what I ever experienced in the US.
This is maybe the best thing I've seen so far this year. Thank you!

Unless you need Debian for some reason, why not use one of the arch based distributions or fedora/some other redhat based one? Those always have the latest packages.
... pointing to articles with the full text behind paywalls?? Why bother? If Google feels these are important enough to focus on, maybe they should use some of their vast cash position to buy them and put them into public domain. Better yet, use some of their vast position to buy the damned companies (looking at Elsevier here among others) and make all of it public domain. It would benefit Google and everyone else.
This post makes me very happy to be using GraphQL. (not trying to start another flamewar)

Rather than following arbitrary "best practices" you dig up from random articles and might or might not know or follow, GraphQL forces you to write your API a certain way.

That is not to say GraphQL is a silver bullet, it has it's own problems, but at least I can concentrate on my application and how it needs to work rather than reading more articles about how exactly to name my URLs.
Exactly this. He applied for all jobs he could find for 2 and a half years. If this is not determination I don't know what is.
Part of the problem is they based this language off of JavaScript on purpose no less. It should be hard to make mistakes like this yet a single capitalization would change the semantic meaning enough to prevent this! Terrible design choices for a financial banking language.
That's an easy "yes".
I'm conflicted now on whether to bookmark this conversation or not. :) But in seriousness, I go through this cycle every few months but nothing really sticks. I've given up trying to change my habit. Edge cases always come up that justify the need for bookmarking.

Instead, I'm looking to leverage these bookmarks as a custom knowledge base. My current thinking is to just build a search app with a database from my bookmarks (i use pocket and its search is decent but not great), which lets me retrieve articles based on context and lets me take notes against articles.

Think of it as a cross-indexed commonplace book, but not tied down to folder hierarchies.

Evernote doesn't work for me cause I obsess over folder hierarchies to the point where its OCD. Search is what works for me.
Personally, I don't bookmark anything anymore. I have zero bookmarks.

Chrome history and autocomplete are great, and as said before, links rots over time. My memory and Ctrl+H do the work.

I don't have a huge memory, but if I forgot something it is probably not very interesting.

Of course, sometimes, I forget some URL and I spend a little time searching in the history. But it is worth nothing compared to managing thousands of bookmarks.

Chrome looks so nice without the bookmark bar :-)
I did try to apply this somewhat - I would by default list all my bookmarks as 'to read'. Then I didn't feel the need to read them, just dump them and get on with my life.

Then if I ever came back to them, then I would mark them as read and star them.

However I found this doesn't really cure the addiction (I still would endlessly go searching and bookmarking articles.), but it did help and got me less precious about dumping an article.

So I think you do have to go through this stage.

Hoever now, I'm simply trying to make it harder for myself to bookmark (only manually via the 'add URL' link in pinboard), so I now end up only bookmarking about 1 in 3 of the articles I open. I'm less concerned about just closing the tab.
Does testing get timely security updates? Last I checked (quite a while ago), it explicitly did not.
The problem is not the "nation state" but nationalism.
That's all about algorithms and platform rules. Every platform needs ads for monetisation. But, by giving power to humans like in hackernews and reddit we can remove that SEO optimization part. Crowd will get power to like/unlike or promote the content.
Thats because a lot of people know people who have done that, and ended setting back their financial position back many years. Then had trouble finding a job afterwords.

There are a lot more failures than successes, but you hear about the successful ones.
This is actually pretty bad. In redux dev tools you will not see if data is being fetched or failure occured.
Also, if you serialize and deserialize state object - say save it in local storage - empty array will be neither fetching nor failure one and strange bugs will occur.
Just for the record: We had a similar experience with banks in Germany, it was called "Bildschirmtext" or "BTX". It took a long time and a lot of emulators until they finally adopted the Internet. Besides this, BTX was not as omnipresent as Minitel was in France.
