The site looks great and good job on shipping it out!

I probably don't fit as your target customer, so please take my feedback with a grain of salt.

After digging around your site for a bit, it seems like your "special sauce" is to bring incredibly powerful search features for multiple data types/sources all from a single authoritative place (Shelf.io)

Based on your YouTube videos, I really like the ability to parse rich data on the internet and input it for my team to see. Seems like a great product marketing/engineering folks during the high level brainstorming phase.

Use case:
1.Software Engineer: Reads a cool article on Medium about some software technique and wants their team to consider it for their their new beta project.

2.Marketing person: Gets inspired by a video/image for a new ad campaign that they are designing and wants to share it with their team.

Also as an end user, I really like being able to see your actual product and how it works without needing to signup or give out my information. If the product seems like it can solve my pain point within 45 seconds of an intro video and 5 mins of playing with a demo site, then I'll commit to a email signup. Basecamp's "How it works" tab does a great job of this.

On the flip side, I feel that Salesforce doesn't need to do this, since they already have market share and a great reputation for their products.

I would take your "Intro to Shelf" YouTube video, cut the first 25 seconds out and embed it somewhere convenient on your website.

Highlight an example use case through a short video. I think Grammarly does a great job with this in their "new social media manager video" FWD TO :15 seconds https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ak-Y56SfkS0

Also for your voiceovers in the Youtube videos, I would invest in a good audio recording mic. The audio seems a little distant,and hollow. I use a Zoom H5 recorder, it is a decent product for what I need/require.As a lay audio person, This is my reference point for good voice audio. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUhisi2FBuw&t=15s.

I know you guys are in start up mode, and need to ship. But as random end user, this is what I'm perceiving. Hope this helps! Good Luck!

If you work for money, then by extension you work for the bank, because that is where money is apparated.

The bank is the one who decides how much money is to be created, and who gets it first.
In all fairness, I do think it's a bit more than that although I think it's mostly harmless if not positive in this particular case. A fair number of people do feel the need to jump into systems/philosophies/brands with both feet whether it's MMM or GTD. Personally, I am more the pick and choose useful ideas from here and there sort, but if committing wholeheartedly is what someone has to do develop better spending habits I have trouble finding a lot of fault with that.
No, I won't. We use SQL Server only in some legacy projects, but newer ones are using Postgres or Oracle, running Linux.

We know open-source RDBMS like Postgres, and the ones developed by Unix/Linux vendors like Oracle, are unlikely to drop Linux support anytime soon. But can we say the same about MSSQL? Today we got this CEO... but tomorrow?

It's a risk we're not willing to take, specially when there's no SQL Server feature that we cannot find elsewhere.
Why We Chose TypeScript Over FlowType
Absolutely right!
YouTube has some fairly specific requirements that third-party clients must adhere to [1]. According to my recollection and Google's own revision history [2], this general form of the document dates to August 2016, since at the time I submitted it to HN [3], although no discussion ensued.

In that update, they reformulated their Terms of Service and instead published a series of documents focusing on various topics that third-party developers must uphold to be able to serve as a YouTube client. This means that, as an easy example, clients which omit Google's ads [5] are running afoul of these policies.

That being said, as with most ToS, YouTube reserves the right to terminate access to its API Services at any time [4].

Amazon is far more than a store. For one, they are a monopoly on any content that's exclusive to Prime. And for a lot of us, that's meant choosing between our Prime accounts and our preferred streaming device. I personally would've probably chosen to buy an AppleTV except for the fact that Prime isn't available on the platform (though it appears that finally Amazon's spat with Apple on this front is coming to an end). Instead, I'm using a Roku because I don't want to reward Amazon for this crappy behavior by buying a FireTV.

And Google isn't really a monopoly on internet videos. In addition to many smaller competitors, Facebook and Twitch are competitors. It's hard to find reliable numbers, but from what I've seen YouTube gets around 2/3 or the hours watched in this category (i.e. excluding streaming sites like Netlifx and Prime). That's big, but not monopoly big.
Here is a snippet to decodeURIComponent for all the yql examples in the documentation. Makes it a bit easier to see the yql syntax.

$('pre:contains("yql=")').each((i, el) => { el.innerText = el.innerText.replace(/\+/g, ' ').replace(/yql=(.+%3B)/, (m, p1) => 'yql=' + decodeURIComponent(p1)) })
It's not popular to voice this, but some of Netscape's fall was due to self-inflicted wounds. In the end, they'd piled a package together called Netscaoe Communicator and it had become a bloated and buggy mess.

They weren't alone in these regards, but they took it to new levels and QA was seemingly nonexistent. IIRC, even Opera went so far as to have an email client and newsgroups reader included.

Netscape had both the email client and newsgroup reader, it also had a web authoring tool, conferencing software, Netcaster (which I never did figure out what it did), and a calendar. Heck, I think it even had other feature... It had all of those in what was theoretically a browser at a time when computers typically had RAM with double digit values in MB.

Microsoft certainly didn't help, but I'm not sure that they really destroyed it.
I've patched and raised PRs to contribute and they are ignored. I am helping them fix their product.

Nothing.

So I phone up support and PAY to have something fixed.

Nothing.

I try playing nice. I try paying nice. I get nothing. I vote with my feet. Nice or not, that's also an aspect here; choice.
Careem someone has registered my email with careem how to disconnect
Looks like careem doesn't verify the email accounts just the phone number so you can put any email id. The last few days I was getting emails for someones ride. After complaining to careem with no response I just asked for password reset through email and changed the phone number. But these idiots don't even ask for reverification on the devices already logged in so the guy is still using the account and I am still getting his ride notifications.
So. Confluence. At least that's what it looks like form available tiny screenshots on the landing page.

Or Confluence with cards. That's what it looks like on Product page.
Agreed. We don't have the whole story here, I'm just trying to understand from context. Perhaps the thing that's being sent is not a raw video file, but some other file that could still be improved via lossless compression.
Some Alpha AXP cores used a split register file and the register renaming logic took care of the synchronisation.
You'll still need to house the Pi in a case, get a controller (assuming they'll come with the console) configure Retro Pi and Kodi.

No, but you may still make some money from it before it drops to zero.

Just don't consider it an investment, and don't put anything into it that you'll miss. Investments are tied to real world value, returns and having a say, bitcoins have no real world application or substance outside of financial crime.
The reason is people have no clue about Go most of the time and advocate against it because it's popular. Pretty much like Node ect... I mean look at Erlang derivates / Haskell / Rust, you don't see negativity in related language.
oh, wow. you're right, but ... it's the source article's title! ouch.
I've been re-evaluating the reflexive "cults are bad" instinct that Americans like myself seem to have.

Your implication is that 'cult' and 'ignorance, rage, greed...' are the same levels of undesirable. And like this guy said, when we think of cults we think of Kool-Aid and Waco.

But "cult" is a little word that covers a lot of territory:

- a system of religious veneration and devotion directed toward a particular figure or object

- a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister

- a misplaced or excessive admiration for a particular person or thing

- a person or thing that is popular or fashionable, especially among a particular section of society

(Oxford)

The first one would be analogous to calling Christianity the Cult of Jesus, as a statement of fact. Neutral connotation, I think.

The second would include something along the lines of Jonestown, but really is just any cohesive group that
believes something differently than you do. Really, that definition is so flexible and relativistic that it can be tagged to anything you disagree with. And it's possible that those beliefs and practices are edifying in nature, but you just get called a cult because your friends all do it together with you and everyone else just thinks it's weird.

The third would be something like Bieber fever or Beatlemania. Negative connotation.

The fourth would be something like iPhone/Android people, or a cult film. Neutral-ish connotation.

No definition truly captures what we think of as a cult: The charismatic leader that probably wants to have sex with all of his adherents, the coercion and conformity, the inability to leave.

I don't really know how he's using the word so I don't have a strong opinion about what kind of cult he's formed, but I wouldn't write him off instantly because he used the word.

At least I don't think so; I'm trying this argument out in public for the first time right now.
These things that you describe, do you think that they're not productive and not worthwhile? If you do - how so?
Thank you very much for the response. I had indeed not considered an IP agreement and it looks like exactly what I need to secure the product before going into negotiations.

For the veterans around here, what would be considered a "normal" equity in a deal like this, if there is such a thing?

Thanks again for the very helpful reply!

Saske brings new paradigm to social interactions
This Crazy Camera Is the Future of Photography
Does anyone else think it's a bit funny to see an MMM interview on YC? Through their investments, YC seems quite pro-consumerism. Consumerism is the antithesis of being mustachian. It's always kind of bothered me that HN (and YC) seems to encourage conspicuous consumption.
I'm inclined to agree, though for no particular rational reason. I've thought long and hard about it, and I can't think of any particular reason the bottom should fall out short of widespread state intervention.
I eventually went with an L bracket on my camera -- the bracket has Arca Swiss rails.

But now it's a little bigger and heavier :(
Why does no one listen to customers then?

Ignored on privacy.

Ignored on bugs.

Ignored on product direction.

That's not feedback or customer obsession, that's lip service. And we pay for the software so we can only vote with our feet and on the way help other people to avoid the same pitfalls.
Have you looked at interviewing.io
> So how is that a solution?

Well, it's not.

> The problem is that Cloudflare blocks Tor, not Tor Browser: not every Tor user uses Tor Browser.

Except the advice is, even when it does block Tor Browser, as they say it doesnt, the answer is to use Caching services.

The problem here is, it's now taboo to call these issues out. My posts' scores are -3, -1, and 1... I highlight this because it hid my main post. And alas, "-1" is used to silence legit grievances.
> They aren't that onerous.

Yes they are. Installing 20 google apps and placing them extremely prominently, forced google widgets, google has to be the only search, the only voice...

Google is putting these very strict rules on anyone that wants to use the play store, and being actively misleading about it because "android" is still "open".

If they want the benefits of being "open" then they should walk the walk and let all android devices use these free android apps.
> New Windows 10 S devices only running UWP apps will encourage this progress a lot.

If anybody will actually buy them.
Pretty sure it would go away if they were in one person offices. And one person offices are cheap to provide.
This depends on what the alternative is. For people who can't afford an American sticker price for a car, the choice is between a less safe (but cheaper) car and the near-suicidal experience of riding a motorbike.

Selling "unsafe" cars may actually save lives.
The analogy would be more appropriate if you said programmer and not software engineer. Anyone calling themselves a software engineer should be providing input into the design of the thing they're producing. Their role is very explicitly managing requirements and codifying them in, well, code. Either directly doing the programming or managing those who do.

That's only there because they know no one can fork and commit to maintain a codebase that size. Same reason no one forked Linux. They still have 100% control over it.
HyperJump – A Quicker Way to CD in Bash
The MMM way is more about locking in your luck than anything else. Be frugal, when lady luck smiles and you have a lot of income make sure you do not waste the proceeds and avoid living above your means at all costs. Having skills is a plus and in his particular case it helps if you are good at building a personal brand so you can ride the self help bandwagon.

Very useful information compared to most other self help institutions though, far more actionable but a bit preachy and unaware of how complex other peoples lives are but such over simplification can help to make a point.

Also, he seems to pretend as if he is the first person ever to live like this but there are many others that simply never thought of themselves as special in any way. See also: the millionaire next door.
Diary of a concussion: what I learned about head injuries by having one
Fortunately, it's a trend that seems to have had fairly limited pickup. It really does seem like a bad system in practice. I have always, other than the odd day lost when I've hit a cap or whatever, used every day of vacation I've been allotted. In past roles, I've even taken month long vacations where I was totally out of touch.

I would not want to be in a situation where my vacation time depended on some prevailing sense among coworkers of the appropriate number of days to take off.
For historical note: that is Speedometer 2.0-r221659. Somehow missed the last two digits when I wrote this comment originally.

Also, with gfx.webrender.enabled, gfx.webrendest.enabled, gfx.webrender.blob-images, and gfx.webrender.layers-free all enabled, same version of Speedometer and Firefox on the workstation scores 63.47 (or 4% faster), but has render errors on the Speedometer's tach needle (SVG?) and renders fonts with very strong (very fatiguing to read) subpixel rendering.

>NGINX Amplify is a SaaS application, currently hosted in AWS.

Is there a self hosted version?
Well...maybe just the compiler? ;)
I think people are equally important.

But if you're asking specifically what I would do, well, the question you've posed is very abstract so it's hard to get clear what you're really asking.

What sorts of scenarios, where it's my close relatives vs people on the other side of the world, are you thinking of?

It's often not a zero-sum game, and often the popular perception of it in zero-sum terms is vastly overblown.

.

Regarding your clarification, I can not think of any scenario where I would want something done that would benefit my close relatives at the expense of people in other countries. I'm open to you suggesting some possible scenarios.

I just moved to pale moon

Why? Just curious.
Ah, fair point. I looked into it further, and I believe you're correct that Play Services is currently excluded from the background execution limits (but not location limits) in Oreo.

That's not an arbitrary exception on Google's part though; the reason it's excluded is because Play Services targets Marshmallow, not Oreo, and the new background execution restrictions are currently only enforced for apps targeting Oreo (though there's a switch in settings to manually enforce them for individual apps, and you can flip that switch for Play Services if you want).
Ask HN: How technically hard was it for Twitter to move to 280 chars?
This is mostly for folks who work at Twitter or who have heard some behind-the-scenes stories about what it took to do this change.

Given that Twitter has long been only allowing 140 characters, I'm wondering if the 140 character limit assumption was hard-baked into any parts of their architecture that they had to spend time refactoring, or if it was as simple as removing a constraint on the front-most part of their stack? Did it for example require any changes to the storage layer?

Just curious.
You've hit it, buy in the south/southwest where there's no salt used.

I don't buy into the parts car idea, myself. Although any e.g. Honda from the same model year will share a large number of parts with any other Honda, they will still be old and worn out. New parts are readily available for most older cars if you stick with mainstream models that were sold in large numbers.

If you need something significant like a transmission, you can always get one from a salvage company.
No kidding! I'm glad it exists, but Envoy seems like a much more legit / stable choice.
Not mysteriously at all. There is big money to be made by muddying this water.

Boiled down to the base principles it's the same... money goes in, more money might come out, or you might get less money out. The only difference is predictability and odds.

You're talking about VetRanch I assume? Yeah they are demonetizing Matt's DemolitionRanch and a number of other similar channels.

Whatever algorithm YT changed a few months ago is really putting a hurt on content creators for little gain. If certain advertisers don't want to be on channels with certain keywords they should be able to configure that, but wholesale demonetization is really stupid.
One area where I think camera makers could really improve is in coaching people how to take better pictures. I'm sure there are some good mobile apps out there but as a casual camera user, I would love to take my camera off auto-mode and actually learn how to use the advanced features. If I'm shooting portraits or landscapes, it would be great if the camera could intelligently let me know, "Why don't you try this exposure/aperture for a better picture". Pretty soon I would start to learn on my own.
Crap cus if that is after tax and the real price is half that or w/e, then offering that car in the US would make me very happy.

Retiring at 30 while earning $50k would be difficult. But retiring at 40 or even 50 is still relatively easy on such a salary.

Hi Tobias -- looks like your team has put an incredible amount of work into this, and it looks wonderful.

For my own part I struggle to find data that's strewn across frequently deprecated PDF's, salesforce, one-drive / sharepoint, mailing list archives, a home-spun knowledge base, yammer, an aging twiki instance, and possibly a few more information repositories. And I work in a relatively small and tech-savvy organisation. So I definitely feel the pain you're trying to cure. :)

'Cloud' is tricky. No two people agree what that word means for starters. In terms of a knowledge repository / index / retrieval system -- for many enterprises, when talking about core institutional knowledge, 'manage yourself' is not the opposite of 'in the cloud'.
