Thank you for sharing with your wife and for the positive vibes. We're technically up-and-running with a dozen customer, just haven't really stepped on the gas with growth yet. Want to make sure we work out the rest of the small first kinks before working on growing.

Why shouldn’t they? Google pays sales tax here too and yet have a corporate income tax given they are based in the US.
Unethical because guess what people who drive for Uber probably care a lot about losing $115 and will work their ass off: i.e. drive fatigued, perhaps kill someone ... to make sure they don't.

Hi everyone! :)

We are thinking in developing a product that will help people reach their goals (those for which money is needed). We will appreciate if you could take just 3 minutes to take this quick survey that will be anonymous:

https://dathau.typeform.com/to/q1TmBv

Filling this will help us to develop this idea focusing on your needs ++ You could also win a $10 voucher* from an online shop you choose to get a small present :)

Thanks!

*We aim to collect at least 50 responses before raffle the voucher. If after a time we don´t reach that number, we will do the raffle among the respondents
You missed the part where I said 'often.' That is okay by me. Karma is only good if you spend it.
Personally I would prefer Google, because there seems to be more chances to work at more different types of projects (Google does more different things?), and I don't feel good about Facebook a bit seemingly trying to create a closed Facebook-only Internet. (On the other hand, google does AMP which creates a never-need-to-leave-Google-Search Internet, but I prefer that to a FB-only-Internet.)
I can imagine Canada trying that in retaliation. Won't be a good day for anyone.
> but you've got 3-5 minutes rest between sets

No you don't. You don't have to. You can have 90 seconds between sets if you want. Just stay consistent, gym session after gym session. Who has time for a 5 minute rest between sets? If you're doing warm-up sets you'll be in the gym for hours!

It's not free. Airbus is providing a US manufacturing site, something Quebec couldn't offer and that has value to Bombardier.
I really want one of these, but the ergonomics look awful.

Is there a technical reason they only come with low resolution (1080p) screens? (“Linux” is not a valid reason...)

Also, as much as I would like a 15” screen, the off center keyboard is a deal-breaker. It’s just asking for RSI.

Does anyone own one? How is the trackpad / keyboard / battery life / fan noise? Maybe I can deal with 1080p in exchange for a reasonable OS and security.
I would expect lower timings, see https://github.com/piranha/gostatic/blob/master/README.md#sp...

> Grad students essentially work as slaves for the Uni's & professors ...

The typical cost to a professor's budget of employing a graduate student with tuition covered and a basic stipend is somewhere in the range of $50k to $150k. The graduate student gets paid to be trained by a domain expert, and the cost to the "employer" is well above the median income. Outside the rather unorthodox software field, graduate degrees typically result in title advances and higher salaries (this is 100% true in government positions).

Calling this arrangement slavery is ridiculous.

Bias disclosure: I was once a professor, and also once a graduate student.

For a liquid fueled rocket you have many opportunities before launch such as firing the engine in a test stand, etc. For the whole rocket you can do a static fire, or even a full duration fire to test the components. Mostly when you are moving you are worried about the mechanical loads on the rocket instead of having to worry if parts were put together correctly. Of course, even this level of testing takes a lot of money, capital, and of course labor.

For a solid fueled rocket, you're right that pretty much you have one shot, and you can't turn it off if something goes wrong.

> My gut feeling about 3D printing is that it just makes it worse. How do you inspect a welding line as long as a rocket's dry mass?

In general, the way you do this is to move it lengthwise through an x-ray scanner, so you can inspect the full length by moving the rocket through. I'm not sure if 3d printing makes this easier (because there's not really welds, it's one piece) or harder (you have to be able to inspect the inside of something), but it is certainly tricky.

I used to think the same thing but have had to remind myself the common “socially awkward nerd” excuse is just that: one of the things all of these guys have in common is high social awareness, which they use to strategically engineer situations where they have witnesses or some [they hope] plausible excuse. If you're not on the wrong side of a power dynamic or known to share their misogyny, they're going to be working to make sure you don't know.

It's like what we're seeing in Hollywood where actresses have been talking about how most of the harassment immediately stopped once they had the career stature to fight back and were thus no longer safe targets.
Also by increased efficiency through reducing the administration costs of means-tested social programmes.

I'm not an advocate of replacing all means-based programmes with UBI, but it should see a significant improvement over many such.
If that's the case, then I'm sorry I got the wrong impression, but it was the tone on your post that led me to that.

The scariest thought to me is a corollary to that idea of looking at the scary incompetence of journalism regarding a subject you understand, and realizing that most topic-specific writing is in the same boat -- right now, we are all looking up to and aggrandizing people who similarly don't produce/work, and not realizing it. A good reminder to think about the people you follow and what they've really done.
Is there something more to the kids being software prodigies? When I was young, there weren't that many. If there were, they didn't make the news. Today, it seems like they are more frequent and that many are in software. Has there maybe been a societal change that allows more to blossom?

Taking advantage of what bootstrap has to offer requires writing your page structure with it in mind. It's both a method of structuring HTML and a CSS framework. I suppose you could pull out and compartmentalize certain specific features, but in my mind the core of bootstrap is the grid and component system, and those are pretty heavily tied together.
Come back after you've built a database system used by tons of users and a car that someone is actually driving.

No one will take your argument seriously when you say ignorant stuff like "Creating a database is also very easy", or "Creating a car is also fairly easy".

I get your argument; but one of Boeing's objectives has been to try and keep Airbus out of the US (both defense and commercial). This deal with Delta will showcase, within the US, the CSeries. That could result in other US airlines following suit (particularly smaller regional airlines). Airbus is already fairly successful within the US with regional aircraft sales, this will only further cement that.

Plus keep an eye on China's Comac. They're only ten years old (2008) but due to massive state investment are becoming pretty competitive, they may be eating both Boeing and Airbus's lunch by 2030 if this level of investment continues.

Heck yeah!

Not only because of feature-richness (a debugger that lets me climb up and down the execution stack sounds rad) but also for space-saving: I live in a school bus, so a 3-monitor standing desk isn't really a very viable option.

> need replaceable parts

A 3d printed rocket would be cheaper right from the start, so they wouldn't need to bother with repairs, they can print another module or whole rocket again. Even a 3d printed rocket is going to be made of parts that can be replaced, because I presume we can't print the whole thing in one piece.
Just a note - while you can be at the offices 24 hours a day, they officially shut off all climate features starting at 6PM. This means any sun-facing office get HOT.

6PM for ending a work day is silly IMO and I emailed our office managers who took the issue to the city manager. Still no change (they asked us to pay $120/hr to keep climate management on outside of 6PM).
It doesn't matter how a language “handles nil or ‘not understood’ [sic] messages” - burning the computer would be okay. As with any other undesired behavior, it's your responsibility to prove it doesn't happen.
I have worked as contractor at an insurance and and advertising company for a few months each. In both cases things were much worse than anything I have ever seen in tech. Bosses getting one of their workers pregnant, a clear vendetta after being rejected, sexual comments left and right, sending dirty jokes to mailing lists. It seems most of the known incidents in tech involve some very rich or famous people on a power trip, not lowly workers.

Bampa and Bumpa are sometimes used for grandfather. Meemaw and Mimmie for grandmother.

I noticed your changing text of names. If you do international, the choices are huge.

My kids haven't seemed to figure out how to make babies. I've even tried bribery, to no avail. So, I'll send your link to all my old people friends. They can then send the link to their children and guilt them into using your service.

Maybe a HN launch would be good? Pardon me, if I missed it and you've already done it. Still, I'll forward it to the appropriate old folks for you. Good luck! It looks like a brilliant idea and the name is fantastic!

Edit: Also, the price for 100 is really, really low. I don't know about the math, but that's impressive. If you're able to profit at that amount, great. However, I expect a much higher price for that number and, if actually wanted, would pay more - assuming the pics are on good quality stock and well done.

I could also see some value added services. Touch ups, fancy text, maybe frames at holiday season, border themes, things like that.

For fancy text you may need to license fonts, by the way.

Edit again: A second opinion says your top two package prices are too low and she says the price 'makes her suspicious.' I asked why and she says it makes her think they are of poor quality.

I asked her about pricing she said, "The first one is $0.79, so $0.69, $0.59, $0.49. Something like that."

That's official Old Lady pricing suggestions. In other words, your highest package would be closer to $49.99 per month. I kind of agree with her - it would be more valuable than the price listed, of only I had a use.

She also suggested marketing it to the grandparents. Here is her quote, "Just market it to the grandparents. They will pay to have their kids send them pictures. It would be even better if they could choose a big package and let all their children send in pictures using the same account."

That's close to verbatim. The grandparents would have an account and their multiple kids could all send in pictures to the same account.

Err... She also suggests $X.XX/picture after X-amount of pictures. LOL It probably would have saved time to just give her the keyboard. She's very optimistic about your service.

To be fair, the Quebec government made their bed in this deal. The original terms were terrible (over valued, highly favorable to Bombardier in both failure and success).
The deal the caisse made with Bombardier, was more aligned with reality. It was highly punitive for failure, and rewarding with success.

Keep in mind that the companies which pointed to Russia also have contracts with the executive office of the president - i.e., making up stories to support the administration's narrative is good for business. Let's be honest, this is Washington D.C. we're talking about, and that level of collusion is nothing new. I'm sure the administration offered perks to anyone who could present convincing "evidence" of a Russian connection.

So assuming a rate of $80/hr (which is on the low-side), it cost you $20 in time to do what you could have for $7.

A CTO worth 500k/year would probably realise that paying $7 is more cost effective.
In my perspective density creates community and culture. Its much easier for people to walk around, explore and meet each other when things are designed for human scale.
Weekly or even daily payments would cover part of that. You know the amount that should be added to an account each day pretty easily, since it's the same for everyone. If they waste it and still can't afford food or rent, well, at some point you have to make that their problem.

We hardly watered our lawn during the three year California drought. Let it go dead and even had exposed soil in spots. When the rains came again we didn't mow for many months.

It's much easier to build something that's suitable for your one specific use case than it is to build a general-purpose framework. Database systems, cars, and Bootstrap are all general-purpose. But if you need to store a collection of name/value pairs, carry a load from fixed-point-A to fixed-point-B, or create a web-page with a specific and custom style, building something from scratch can be the right way to go, and it can be easier than forcing a general-purpose solution to fit what you need.
But we're not talking about something with tons of users.

We're talking about a bespoke just-for-my-project sort of thing. That you think it's not even worth it unless you can get tons of users is part of the point. It's just a distraction just like your bespoke CSS framework.
