> The left is currently redefining the word Nazi to be equivalent to conservative in order to gain moral high ground.

The scenarios I've seen people called Nazis, it was a matter of calling a spade a spade. What would you call a "conservative" who has swastika tattoos, a propensity to shout "hail victory" and re-enacting Nazi torch ceremonies? If you consider these folk the standard-bearers for conservatives, I think this says more of you than the people calling Nazis by their name.

You are being disingenuous if you are suggesting that the Nazi label is being applied to anything more than the (seeming ascendant) far right fringe.

The problem is, what works for sites where the reading experience is secondary doesn't work for a site whose reading experience is primary. Somehow they either don't know that or cannot think of anything better to try.

There is a lot of explicit convention in science, it is not the same as general "art of casual conversation"; Scientists will likely have explicit qualification, and provide stats and data. More so for Law, were stakes are arguably even higher.

Anyway, in this case you made a absolute claim ("they don't mean") that isn't necessarily true. They can mean that.

How do you demonstrate that this isn't true, if is so subjective (an "art")? The answer, would be to incentivise clear, unambiguous language; at least in technical, specific conversations.

I second Harvest as well. Been using it for several years and it's great. The native time tracking app that lets you start timers with a few key presses is handy.

I would 100% recommend you do _not_ use a spreadsheet or make your own software for this. Invoices are just far too important. Screwing up your time sheets, invoicing twice or forgetting to invoice would be horrendous. Harvest is only around $100 a year when you need the paid plan (it's always free for around 2 ongoing clients I think, the option is a little hidden). It might look simple enough that you could get away with a simple spreadsheet for example but Harvest makes it much harder to make mistakes (Did you put something in the wrong cell? Did you remember to mark an invoice as sent? Paid?) and a single mistake can be costly.

In connection to my point below, do GLOBALISTS equal....

1. Globalists= we don't care for anyone
or
2. Globalists= we only care for the people from the country we are from
or
3. Globalists= we care for everyone but the people in America.

Overall I would say that it doesn't really matter which group people are in above (1, 2 or 3) America still benefits from having these people here. A true capitalist would understand this. A mercantilist doesn't. Bannon is a Mercantilist who believe that patriotism defines how much we add value to where we live.

Hidden SEO Trick That Leads to More Visits: Query Deserves Freshness
(Author here) As part of this three part series, MongoDB’s CTO, Eliot Horowitz, was gracious enough to spend two hours chatting with me.

In our discussion, we touched on 10gen’s early marketing strategy, which I've combined with notes from my research:

- 10gen’s Marketing Focus: Eliot noted that much of 10gen’s marketing message was meant for large enterprise CTOs and engineers who made database decisions. If you’re trying to build a database company, this is where most of the money is. But many startup engineers I knew didn’t realize this, and seemed to think the message applied to them. 10gen’s explicit focus on sponsoring hackathons and and targeting startups also encouraged these issues.

- Anger on HN: Eliot and I disagreed where some of the MongoDB anger on HN comes from. In his view, a fair bit of it stems from competitors and their supporters. In my view, much of the anger came from 10gen’s fanciful marketing message that outstripped the product in the early days. I believe that if the marketing message had been more thoughtful and the product more mature when the marketing ramped up, the community anger would have been much less (but it likely would have significantly hurt MongoDB's adoption, which is a challenging problem).

- 10gen’s Marketing “Strategy”: Eliot argued that 10gen didn’t have much of an early marketing strategy. In my view, their marketing team made some smart decisions that really set them apart from competitors. First, MongoDB’s Javascript DSL, JSON data store, and onboarding experience were critical differentiators - and their product was early to market. Their marketing team then used this as they built the MongoDB user groups/conference network, pitched NoSQL and the MEAN stack as the future, and brought industry allies to their side.

- Engineers and Marketers: We debated how much role CTOs should play in dev tool marketing. At 10gen, Eliot noted that he was rarely involved, instead focusing on engineering and product. My own view is that engineers should be involved in the marketing message in highly technical products - and have some input into marketing. I also believe that marketing a database is very different from other tools in the engineering stack such as a frontend framework.

Much of this debate stems from the differential objectives of engineers (making the right decisions for their teams) and marketers/founders (convincing customers to use your product, sometimes at any cost).

I let Eliot know that I would support him in sharing any follow-up thoughts, with the hope of spurring a thoughtful debate in our community.

Finally, I won't argue that 10gen's marketing and product was enough on its own to explain the growth amongst startups - the usability of MongoDB was a key reason for it's success in startups. Less discussed also was the marketing undertaken by training programs, bootcamps, and conferences (see the marketing around MEAN that inundated Hacker News and Reddit in the early-mid 2010s, as NodeJS was growing).
Scheduling Meetings with (Prospective) Clients
Just a curiosity, which CDN are you using?
There are a bunch of native Sailfish OS apps. As far as I can tell, people work on them for fun, not for the expectation of making money off of them. For users, the result is not necessarily bad: Unlike many free Android apps, there are no annoying ads. And there are actual OpenStreetMap apps that simply use the online map data, unlike OsmAnd, which makes you pay for access to maps they didn't create.

An enormous amount of open source development on Linux is not driven by a "market" in the sense of making money either. This doesn't answer your question directly, but maybe the question is ill-posed. Do we want or need a "viable market" that looks like crappy ad-infested Android bloatware?

(Just to be clear, no, I am not saying that all Android apps are alike.)
It's not your job. It is management's. If it is not worth the risk of airing your concerns to management, then that just shows that it is not really the particular developer that is the problem. And the idea of "the team" taking matters into its own hands is just another sign of how dysfunctional the workplace is.

Either act properly, or don't act. There's no excuse for anything else. The internet cannot give you permission.

Good luck.
Given you are a seasoned programmer, most of the code written in familiar language should be obvious just by skimming it. But when it comes to a short and "smart" algorithms, especially including bit manipulations, I still find pen&paper the best tool to find out what's really happening.

I disagree about those. "taping" lack a lot of precision a mouse has. And don't get me started on the typing experience as you can't use all your fingers and have no tactile return. Also Ctrl-F "the thing I'm looking for" anyone ?

The intuitive gestures are all but intuitive if you have never used them before. My first reflex to zoom is sure not to move diagonally 2 fingers on a picture.

I find this to be a very interesting comment - illustrative of the large and growing political divide in the developed world and the US in particular.

> Rather than assuming that society will come together in a crisis and help each other out

I grew up in an area where during good weather and normal times, police and EMS response could be an hour or more. If you're cutting a field on a tractor and manage to crush your hand in the PTO, having a tourniquet and medical supplies is the difference between life and death. Likewise, if there is a half inch of ice on the ground and you slide off the road on your way home, having warm clothing, blankets, food, and water can keep you from dying of exposure before someone happens by.

For my daily life "back home", there is no "society" to pull together. For immediate emergencies, it's often just you. For the short-term events described in the article it's you, your family, and perhaps a neighboring family or two.

> armed to the teeth against dangerous others who are undoubtedly coming to take our shit.

Again, police response is an hour away - crime happens even in rural areas. If you don't take measures to protect yourself, you're simply unprotected.

That's not even considering that there are uses for firearms other than defense against human beings. I've dispatched many injured animals on the side of the road; I can't imagine having to leave them in agony to die of exposure, or waiting that aforementioned hour for someone else with a gun to arrive and do what I could have done in seconds for pennies. It's cruel.

> It's sad.

No, it's _different_. Incomprehensibly different, if living in close proximity to others is all you know.

> I honestly think this another example of the huge class divide in America

This is a cultural thing, not a class thing. It may appear to be based on economic factors because rural areas are typically much poorer than urban ones, and because the urban poor are far more at risk of being a victim of violent crime, but in my experience it's clearly a rural/urban difference.
Sorry I didn't get back on yesterday. I have a small blog I started just to help people with initial setup that you can see here http://illuminationworks.blogspot.com (I'm not a blogger and it shows) But basically it's built in Unity, and you use visual studio for deployment to the device. The dependencies can be tricky to setup, but once it's in place it is very easy to deploy.

The ROI is likely nonzero for some coins out there. Bitcoin's difficulty would be too high to make much money even if the ad were served to a very large number of computers. But other non-SHA coins (CryptoNight-based PoW, e.g.) or low-difficulty coins might be worthwhile.

> Mining bitcoin won't need 40MB of download.

Are you sure? I would think something like cgminer compiled to wasm/asm.js
could be a 40MB payload.

For more context, OP states:

> "checked sources and discovered it was a Bitcoin add in iframe, looked at JS it used"

> "It was also an ad for a btc exchange/wallet thing, so maybe the mining was just to recoup some cost?"

The nebulous "sources" referred to might be something credible. I imagine bitcointalk.org may have a thread on malicious ads like this.

Given the number of conversations recently about sexism in tech on HN, this seems perfectly placed given it's an excellent demonstration that it's still a problem.

Why do you consider it "propaganda"?
Well given that mining bitcoin in a browser isn't even remotely profitable, someone crazy enough to do it anyway would also be crazy enough to not give a fuck about their code's efficiency and download 40MB's worth of data.
Considering history, it's a fair question.
As (male) founder of collecture.io, I am happy to say that our experiences differs quite a lot!

Our newest addition to the team works primarily in sales. She's not the first woman on the small team, but she's the one that has most contact with the outside world (by mail and phone) and to be honest, not only is she doing a better job in that position than I could, but I guess that her being a woman gets her a lot of very polite and positive responses.

Maybe it's a small sample size, maybe it's a cultural thing (we are situated in Zurich, Switzerland), maybe it's something else.
Funny, we are doing the opposite.
Those aren't the only people being labeled. Plain Trump supporters get called that. Black people ho support Trump or Latinos supporting trump's immigration policies are getting lumped into the same group. It's really unfortunate because it's as if anyone who doesn't agree with their world view is a nazi.

It's unfortunate because people in the middle, who will now get skewered for being fence sitters will be more likely to vote against the antifa types who are trying really hard to antagonize.
It should be noted that if you are computing sin/cos after atan2, then it's likely that what you are doing could be done with some regular vector manipulation (normalisation, possibly dot product, cross product).
