Well you need to look at the details.

If you are a skilled person getting 35 points but married to a woman who is merely home maker you wont qualify.

You are an Indian Tech engineer who was 33 when applied for GC and now 40 you have to sell your house, take your US citizen kids and go back to India. Not sure how that helps USA.

You are badass Chinese or Russian scientist. Can't score 8th decile in IELTS ? go home. Not sure how that helps.

You have spent 10 years in USA not got your GC if you want to marry someone who is not as qualified as you are you need to leave the country.

A good law is something that treats law obedient people justly. That people who follow all the rules feel that the law has justice to them and actually achieves stated objective.

The current points based system is being pushed by people who have no skin in the game and just as arbitrary as a dice.

There's another possibility. Is there a cultural difference at work here? Does Asian culture have more respect for authority and less patience for things like drug abuse?

I feel like if crazy penalties like that were levied in America we would take it as a challenge. We have a long history of that.
This depends a lot on the creator. I support 22 creators and there are 3 that I really interact with at all and that's only because my rewards require it (they're artists and I get commissioned works). Some of them promise a monthly Skype call or something like that but artists you're talking about are definitely a minority.

> “I don’t think the reclusive thing is going to happen anymore. That’s not the world we live in."

I think that's true for most creators but I also don't think it's impossible for an artist to just throw up music tracks, videos or artworks with no title, no description and no interaction and still have people support them.

Personas are more popular but it's not the only way to go about it.
I should have edited my post to say just Denmark. Sweden and particularly Norway use much more energy.
How to proceed in my career?
I started off with android, created applications, launched a startup, developed scripts to spoof devices on the playstore, built android from source code, automated login, my office worksheets, coded in java, javascript(dust.js, angular), bash, little bit of python/django and created a few libraries in javascript(https://github.com/raul1991/diver.js) as well.

The problem is since the choice of companies haven't been so good. After 4 years in the industry I find myself confused and completely unaware as to which profile should I choose.I am unable to answer the question "What part of programming I like/enjoy the most" since I love it all.

I am all ears to the feedback and constructive criticism the community has to offer. Please enlighten me

There isn't. Glyphosate is well studied, and all evidence exonerate it. The constituent chemicals of Roundup may interact with each other to render the cocktail toxic. But that's not equivalent to carcinogenicity. And it's not well studied as yet.
I think that is, in part, because it's a summary of a talk. So it's written a bit awkwardly and probably misses maybe some more interesting in-depth details from the actual talk. It does seem on the surface though like potentially a good text summary, having not watched the actual talk.

On the flip side, I have been frustrated particularly at linux.conf.au last year at how "not deep" many of the talks were. Having done quite a few talks over many years at similar conferences, it's actually quite hard to nail something technical and be entertaining for a presentation at the same time. Someone who nails that quite consistently is Aaron Paterson (from the Ruby/Rails world). Watch some of his talks on Youtube.. I aspire to produce more content on a level similar to his. To combine good entertaining presentation with actually educating an audience about the technical non-obvious details of something they probably didn't know -- and something that was relevant in a practical project he took on. Working on it, not there yet...
Cutting down on education in prisons seems to me like the exact opposite of what they should be doing.

Doesn't sound like you've got much to worry about. Have 4 kids, all watched hours of tv like there was nothing else in the world, and all turned out well so far. Just make sure there's some balance.
That is basically 'personal' usage. You can't build that into any formal process, even for onboarding -- any day it may not work.

I also failed to mention that having an internal namespace for an organization may be relevant. People may not want to be public.
Fantastic writeup. Of course, it would be easy for me to put on the hat of the university indoctrinated and unpack your "invisible knapsack" of privileges that you never knew that you had; maybe someone else will save me the trouble (and do so earnestly, because that's much more fun to read).

> And then they get passed over, quite explicitly, with no explanation other than that they don’t deserve what they have.

Ahh, but there is an explanation; there are textbooks, courses, entire bodies of knowledge specifically created to define exactly why it is that you don't deserve anything that you've worked for, and further, why you should be compelled by force to give it away to those who have not earned it and may not even want it, to their detriment and yours.
Facebook's strategy certainly has worked so far, but I doubt it's sustainable. Every time Instagram copies a Snapchat feature it is a pivot from their original vision. Unless Snapchat starts copying Instagram, over time the two will diverge, one is a focused and coherent product, the other becomes a feature laden beast.

Also internally I can't imagine how the Instagram engineers feel about their roadmap being "continue to copy and shoehorn Snapchat features into our app".
> Merchants don't care as fees are paid by the sender.

As a merchant I absolutely disagree: the cost of my product is how much it costs the user, which includes the complete costs to the user, not just my price.
I'm comparing the file size of one tool to the published sized of a similar tool, how is that misleading? If the size can be reduced then why isn't it done when you publish it? Considering one is on disk size and the other is zipped I think I'm being more than fair.

>Qt can be dynamically linked into a Rust application. For example, the default is to dynamically link glibc on Linux x86_64

Again, it was an example. Show me a similar rust library that can be dynamically linked to like this? A rust equivalent will have to either use a c interface or be statically compiled.
Oh, I thought Dropbox was using Rust instead of Go for a lot of things, but maybe they ended up using both. I can see why they'd have wanted to be just moving to either Rust or Go since from what I understand they used to be mostly Python for everything.

Cool that they use Go a lot.

I agree with your main thesis that colour adds information.

But not with your reaction to colourblindness - it's surprisingly common. We changed a grid of clickable red/green squares to add crosses and ticks after a chance comment, and several more users bothered to contact us about how much easier it made the UI.

So please DO give a... fig... about colourblindness - if it's worth adding colour to help users, surely it's also worth a little thought about how to cater for colourblind people. In this case, a grey-scale palette perhaps?
> Do you mean coders on patreon itself?

Yes, they're on Patreon proper. Patreon isn't constrained to entertainment.

> Any links to coder patreons I can look at?

A few I know or Googled:

- https://www.patreon.com/cemu - A WiiU emulation project

- https://www.patreon.com/ShareX - An open source Windows application for sharing stuff

- https://www.patreon.com/evanyou - Works on Vue.js

- https://www.patreon.com/alanstorm - Works on lots of open source stuff in the PHP community

There are a ton for game projects and such.

Just go to Patreon and search for "Open Source" and you'll see a bunch.
If you build it they WONT come. If they did, then the failure rate of startups won't be above 90%.

Do your homework (both primary and secondary research). You have nothing to lose by spending a few days analyzing the opportunity.

- For a project that had to do with shipping labels, used UPS's , Fedex's Annual reports to estimate the potential number of customers who would prefer that kind of shipping. So looking at annual reports of listed companies that are in the same (or similar) business would be useful.

- Looked at platforms like Fiverr, Upwork etc. and scrape their job boards and analyzed for words that would describe what you are gonna build. Reach out to those customers who listed those jobs and freelancers who did similar jobs. you will learn a st ton.

For a project involving selling via messengers used
- Facebook's and WhatsApp announcements page on their blog.
- Popular Newspaper articles about digital advertising (that quoted sources)
Sometimes, you can google things and when you find the news articles, they might indicate the source. For example "John Doe, an analyst with Analysis Paralysis Inc, estimates there are 3433 cows who eat ketchup in the West Virginia" . You can then google that company and find useful stuff on their blog or even buy the report from them.

- For a project that involved selling fasteners to fix ceiling panels, estimated the number required by looking at US Census Bureau data on housing square footage.

- You can also use google surveys to ask questions to the target market (the used to allow you to do free surveys). Yes they might ask for a faster horse. But you will get the insight that "speed is a need". So if you do a good job asking the right questions and interpreting the answers, you will get a fair idea of the opportunity.

Maybe you could post here what exactly you wanna know, there would be folks here who would know the answer.

Don't worry about folks "stealing" your idea. If you are worried about it, go spend 2 dollars on a lottery ticket. The chances are more that you would win the lottery.

iTerm2 lets you force a minimum contrast, which solves the contrast problem while still letting you use colors. Lots of programs display hard-to-see colors (red-on-black for me too), so it makes sense to address this problem at the terminal level.

From https://www.iterm2.com/documentation-highlights.html:

> Sometimes an application will display text with a color combination that is hard to read. Colorblind users in particular may find certain combinations hard to see if the colors differ only in hue and not brightness. If you enable minimum contrast (under Preferences > Profiles > Colors > Minimum contrast, then iTerm2 will guarantee a minimum level of brightness difference between the foreground and background color of every character. If you set this to its maximum value, then all text will be black or white.

BTW, I actually like having the git hashes almost invisible. I don't need to see the hash, I just want to double-click to copy it.
Thanks for taking the time to do those comparisons. Very interesting. I was always too afraid of using a "terminal text editor", but the last 12 months or so I have made the effort to learn, and it's been quite enjoyable. Having said that, I'm still torn between Focuswriter and Vim for writing my prose, and I haven't settled on one or the other yet.
In what regard do you consider coinbase a "good alternative" to anything, let alone gemini?

The issues people have consistently reported with it for as long as I've known about it - bad lock-ins during fluctuations, difficulty resolving support requests and withdrawing - are all borderline showstoppers from where I sit; I don't think I'd ever use let alone recommend coinbase to anyone, no offense to its employees in this thread.

I've come to love Keybase. I can be chatting with someone, and decide to share a file. So I just create a shared private folder, and copy the file there. All GnuPG authenticated and end-to-end encrypted.

I get that they don't implement forward secrecy. I gather that forward secrecy would break the GnuPG model, in that stuff couldn't be decrypted on any device with the requisite key pair.

> Easy enough to do. I think the biggest single culprit is cumulative damage from sitting down or walking with my phone in my pocket with headphones plugged in. Second biggest one is catching the cable on stationary objects. Doorknobs, shelves, armrests on office chairs.

I've done quite a lot of everything in that list. Thousands of hours of walking, cycling and other activities, I've caught it on door knobs and other things very violently. I've never had an issue with the jack breaking though, on phones, MP3 players, walkmans or my PC (I've tripped over the cord a few times).

I'm sure it can break, but the post I responded too said it happened with every phone they've had, which I find very doubtful.

I suspect that part of the reason that "as traffic rises, the quality of journalism is dropping" is because the types of articles that increase "engagement" appeal to the type of person who doesn't value quality literature, spelling, grammar, or story telling. And so it becomes a downward spiral.

Here in Australia, news.com.au is the main offender. The subject matter of their stories is ridiculous, and the quality of the writing doesn't even classify as journalism.

But it won't change. Society is happy with what they're being fed.

The people that value quality storytelling and journalism are writing (and reading) books.

EDIT: typo and missing quote
There's a caveat though: through just reading, it's easy to fall into the illusion that you learned anything. Maybe for some this is enough, but I'd wager that for vast majority of people (myself included), to internalize some idea even on the most basic level, you have to do something along the lines of:

- rehearse it after a time, or

- try to derive it by yourself (applies to e.g. math and physics), or

- explain in your own words (whether by teaching someone, or just writing a blog post), or

- code a working demo of it

Basically, you have to apply the idea somehow to actually learn it.
Can we get a list of which sites Patreon has kicked off their platform? The only one I've seen mentioned so far is 8chan, which was posting kiddie porn and SWATting people. If that's the line, I'm 100% okay with it.
Interesting. Ultimately, the traditional forms of price discovery inherent in a market are a function of supply and demand; they don't really carry over into the digital world where supply is effectively infinite and demand is elastic.

Rather, what we face is a change from commodities (wheat, fish, etc) to distinct products within a category. When I go searching for an app for a purpose, I have to choose:

* Do I want the app that costs $10, which seems expensive for a phone app, but also seems like it's likely to be of the highest quality by virtue of the price?

* Do I want the app that's priced at $2.99, which is more than 99 cents but still not $10? It might be better than the 99 cent app, or it might be a 99 cent app that the creator got wise about and charges more for now...

* Do I want the 99 cent app, knowing it's the least someone can charge? Does this imply a lack of quality? It feels a little bit better than the next category...

* How about the free app with ads and in-app purchases? I see that and worry that the app will annoy me and not be useful.

* How about the entirely free app?

I find myself experimenting with the latter, most of the time. One technique that works really well on me is to have two separate apps, one free with no ads/in-app purchases but limited in functionality with multiple indications of what I could do in the paid app, and then a paid app for $5 or so. If I like the basic version and the quality seems right, upgrading is an easy decision.

Perhaps app stores could incorporate feedback functionality so someone can press a button indicating how they feel about value for money - "I'd buy this but it's too expensive", or a "Wow, what a deal" button.
Why is there anything wrong with his assessment. Availability affects price, sure, but demand does equally so. Pretty sure lithium has higher demand than lead.
Self-fulfilling prophecy indeed, and also very self-limiting. Personally, I got some of the best fiction recommendations from people here on HN, and I'm very thankful for them.
I'm not sure that's so true. Everyone enjoys a good argument over what license the author should have used. )

I do get what you're saying but I think people discuss positive things all the time on even the worst sites. Admitting you're wrong isn't all that novel, but the changing of license is.

Using her boat to physically block a ship from leaving the harbor and firing flares in that direction. That is definitely illegal.

The ship had no cargo at the time, but even if it was carrying tons of heroin and literal slaves, trying to block a large ship at night with a small boat is dangerous vigelantee behavior at best.

And it's most definitely illegal. Call the coast guard if you think something illegal is going on. The minute you start forcing ships to maneuver around you at night, your risking the lives on that ship and any ships they might hit trying to avoid you.

The rediculous part is that she was there to supposedly stop "human trafficking", but her and her boatmates were chanting "no illegal immigration" the entire time.

No one except these far right groups think that NGOs are working with smugglers to get people into Europe. And the far right groups don't care about it either as evidenced by what they were chanting and what they say on their website. They've just latched onto something they think they can use to justify their anti illegal immigrant stance.

There's no evidence of it. It's like an Italian renting a car and pulling out in front of trucks headed into the US because she says she thinks they might underage prostitutes in them.

It's not your job to enforce a foreign country's immigration policies, and it's definitely illegal to try to do it by endangering yourself and the crew of another ship.

The even more rediculous part is that the group she was working with has actually been accused of human trafficking after several of the crew of their ship requested asylum and said they paid to access the boat.
