Ask HN: Social skills for hackers
Coming a bit late to the party, but I'm coming to understand that just being a highly skilled professional won't get you far without networking skills.

Since it doesn't seem to come easy to a lot of us - how did you learn to network, have people like you, keep a conversation going etc.

Any recommended books? Videos? Courses?
Deadlines do matter in many situations. Like, for example, being able to announce a new product or feature at a conference with a fixed date. Or before a sales meeting with a new client, or before a yearly allocated budget expires, etc.

I have, however, also encountered arbitrary deadlines that people hang onto for no good reason.
Reminds me of a quote from the early days of the internet. It went something like "The internet is like a library with every book in the world. But all the books are on the floor."
Nonprofit does not imply no salary. Your organization basically does consulting work for profit..but then you pay that profit to yourself and whoever else you employ. It's very clever but it's not like it isn't the oldest advertising trick in the book. And its certainly one of the easiest ways to make innocent sounding statements like the one you just made.

ICO drip – List of active, upcoming and pre-ICO opportunities
As far as I remember things, because it breaks overlay filesystems, which are a major space saver in Docker world. Something might have changed, but last time I checked, you couldn't "offset" uids/gids on a filesystem overlay, so every layer of the container would have to be copied and chowned (slowly).

This would obviously only work for minimal containers (i.e. ones that don't contain a distribution), but software has to be pretty much built for such a case (e.g. statically linked, no dependencies on common tooling — popular with Go, but your Python application won't work edit: unless you copy all the layers, that is).

You can read the docs here: https://docs.docker.com/engine/security/userns-remap/#prereq..., and note that it stores image/container layers in subdirectories under /var/lib/docker.

Tl;dr: user namespaces are inherently incompatible with many of the usability features Docker brings over other solutions, while they're not particularly useful for many popular use cases (no shared hosting, minor differences in consequence between escalating to the root of the container and its host - though that's an assumption frequently wrongly made).

I bet it depends on how old you are. I'm 59 and no way I would exercise after 4, for instance. But when I was younger my turn-around time was faster.
One of the most distressing (of many) elements of this is way disinformation has been ramped up and feeds into the unwillingness of many to "consider the facts".

I'm not asking anyone to adopt a lifestyle, I'm advocating that we assist people relocating to a place where they have a semblance of a chance to prosper.

Propping up slowly dying towns with subsidies in the form of EBT and social security/disability and Medicaid surely has less economic utility than putting programs in place that will help the people in dying towns find productivity elsewhere.

I understand that people grow attached to their homes and their communities, but the idea that people are entitled to prosperity in the location of their choosing is ludicrous. With telecommuting and remote work it becomes more possible, but you've still got to close the skills gap between the (largely uneducated) rural small towns and economically productive cities.
Hard paywall.

What I do not understand is why doesn't Wall Street create their own "coin/currency" versus use someone else's since they are the largest users of currency currently?
I don't have any data on WA's black market vs white market, but I do have some anecdata: the thriving community of illicit entrepreneurs hanging out by the U District Jack in the Box has completely vanished since legalization.

(And it is quite literally a black/white thing, too - the people selling weed in shops are pretty much uniformly white, whereas the illegal market was a lot more mixed-race.)
Fair enough, apologies for my confusion :)
I'm sorry; amoung the folks I have conversations with it is well-known. I see it in myself, routinely. I can't cite a source.
Office IT is almost uniformly terrible. I see a lot of companies trying to achieve a paperless office, but very few spending the money it takes to make it a reality.

Paperless workers need two large high-res monitors, not one crappy 21" 1080p monitor or a laptop with a 1366x768 panel. They need at least one tablet with a decent pen interface. They need a good document management system. They need the training and support to make use of it all.
Catnip is sold as leaves and stems, but marijuana is usually sold as the flowers. The percentage waste is much higher. And catnip does not require careful segregation of male and female plants to avoid unwanted seed production.

Yeah, this guy seems to be looking for a controversy. Nobody ever said the train's power system is self-contained.

In fact, the article he references as claiming that it's the "world-first truly solar train" makes numerous references to the train being charged by the station.
> In SF a couple of parks needed to have new public bathrooms built. Cost: 2 million.[1] If you had to do it yourself, It'd be about 100k max. It's pure graft and greediness.

I dislike when this sort of disingenuous description is used. It cost a lot of money to do infrastructure work, and entities generally schedule and package work as a bundle, not as individual items. I am quite certain they are not spending $2m on bathrooms.

From [1]: "Additionally, the funds will cover new water, electrical and sanitary utilities services to Lincoln Way, as well as [ways] to improve the pedestrian path that would meet ADA access requirements.

The construction work, which will adjust the playground's irrigation and add new landscaping, is slated to begin next month."
Estonia Building a Digital Nation Using Blockchain
I resigned on my second day. On the second day, it came out that the founder wanted to review my code every 30 minutes. What!? Apparently, he was traumatized by some prima-donna self-proclaimed genius who went off by himself for two months and built entirely the wrong thing. I suggested that he at least give me a day or the afternoon or something. Nope. So I became the Sofa King and I was Sofa King outta there!

Another thing about that founder: He wanted me to write everything by scratch, ground up, nothing outside of Apple APIs, out of fear of patents and copyrights. I'm sorry, but that's just technical ignorance. In that case, go ahead and use 3rd party libraries, but do it mediated through a facade or some kind of adapter library, so you can rapidly switch to another one. This gives the best of both worlds -- more rapidly put together a functioning App, but still be immune to people changing licensing terms.
Man the bitcoin fees must have really ticked off the kidnappers.
I think you are downplaying number of Red Terror victims by an order of magnitude.

Go back and read the sentence you quoted, in it's entirety.

> there's rarely a discernible difference in revenue between a high quality release and a buggy, low quality release, but the profit margin of the former can be (and often is) much lower.

I think you agree with the OP...
All of the options I listed are cross platform. Why must a standard exist in this case? FTP is standard and cross platform. This is nothing more than a UX problem.
And, to add to what you're saying, paper is infinitely easier for people to interact with. It's a physical, tangible object which they can see, touch/feel, and manipulate just like every other object in the world. The paper we use today is the product of hundreds of years of iterative design - conscious, and otherwise. Plus, of course, paper never runs out of batteries.

I do though believe we eventually will create computers which are as natural for us to use as paper is today.

Went to Best Buy to get a Pixel book and they were sold out and they shared they sold a decent amount so think Google is selling them.

Been surprised how many posters on Reddit shared they purchased one. Couple people also on this thread.
I think most people are angry he put a lot of businesses out of business by bundling IE with Windows to put Netscape and other companies out of business that did web browsers.

Microsoft made their own version of Java that almost killed Sun. I think it was J++ and later J# and then Microsoft made C# to replace it.

The original DOS was CP/M that Seattle Software and Microsoft made their DOS do CP/M API calls and a program to convert CP/M programs to DOS. At the time this was not illegal, ECT. Microsoft did Basic, Fortran, Cobol without getting a license for them for 8 bit Pcs.

Those are just a few examples, mostly unethical but not criminal in 1970s and 1980s. By 1999 the DOJ investigated Microsoft.

Also Apple fans claim Microsoft ripped off the Macintosh with Windows and tried to put Apple out of business.

To people like Gates there are good and bad things, and people only know the good things and ignore the bad things because Microsoft built their own industry, ect.
I’ve never been to WWDC. I watched the most recent iPhone announcement and I don’t specifically remember any negative commentary against Android. Hence my comment and my question.
Okay, serious question: what is the UI / UX experience you get from your OSX system that you think is lacking on Ubuntu? Or one of the other free OSs?

Perhaps my requirements are different.

Firefox, Emacs, SLIME, CCL, Roswell, Ruby, Node, RubyMine, and SyncThing run pretty much identically on all OSs I've tried. Spotify still doesn't support FreeBSD (no Widevine), so I run that in a Linux VM. Kerbal Space Program I haven't tried on FreeBSD, only Linux and OSX (I do have an old MBP I keep around as a gaming and movie machine, as it has a 15" screen and DVD drive).

I found Ubuntu configuration easier than Windows last I tried (Vista) and file based configuration in FreeBSD is the easiest of all, especially courtesy the excellent FreeBSD Handbook.

Also I run a tiling window manager (StumpWM) to avoid unnecessary window chrome, and also to avoid using the mouse.

The last time I used OSX extensively was back in 2011 or so, at Lonely Planet, where we had a fleet of iMac pairing stations. They were ludicrously hard to set up identically; all our attempts at the time to create a "pairing environment setup script" failed to varying degrees. And the screens, as large and beautiful as they were, were the devil in our weirdly lit office because they weren't available in matte options.

Possibly it comes back to your description of "food you don't like", but I really didn't enjoy my time on Apple devices.
I guess I'm naive but how did you think that a "traffic provider" could, er, provide traffic?

I think there is a lot of "it depends" in here. If deployment is zero friction to the customer then maybe this applies. If deployment by customer is disrupting then forcing them to go through multiple release cycles due to bugs or lack of required features can be worse for them.

I just lived with a half-broken product for a year rather than deploy the more final full featured but less stable version multiple times from a vendor due to such deployment difficulty. I want quality and completeness over speed in that case.
The WA tax on marijuana is far higher than 3% -- there's a 37% excise tax[1] and then additional local sales taxes may be applied as well.

How to Make Metro Great Again
Well, that's my point: self-defense is generally considered a fundamental right. Having taken power with a bare minimum of violence and attempted to govern in accordance with lofty ideals (multiple parties, all-volunteer militias) the Bolsheviks quickly found themselves confronted by a coalition of antagonists - some monarchists, some capitalists, some unhappy about the large concessions made to gain armistice in WW1, and so on.

Their attempts to defend against that quickly devolved into adopting the violent and often atrocious methods of their opponents. But what else should they have done - become martyrs and hope their defeat would induce some sort of guilt trip in others? That would have been to sell out the working class that they had taken up arms to liberate in the first place. And of course the horrific human cost of the Great War suggested that the ruling classes of the various western powers were unbound by any such moral considerations in the first place.

I don't think self-sacrifice has any actual mileage as a political strategy.
No, I don't. I don't believe there's rarely a difference in revenue between a low quality release and a high quality release. Further, PUBG, at least as presented, doesn't support this assetion, since it doesn't show revenue failing to increase after a higher quality release.
Most alternatives are really inadequate, especially for large files.

When you are in the same room or even city, I should be able to just move large amounts of data from one computer to a physically adjacent computer without having to go through the internet.

For long distance transfers, I agree with various cloud storage. Upload some files and create a share link. But even this is an annoyance for a large file.
"Over the long run companies spending money on advertising are going to hone in on how much they can spend compared to how much revenue they get can trace back to that advertising spend."

In some niches, there's an unending new supply of get-rich-quick newbies that will pay for underperforming ads.

There's really no incentive for Google's AdSense team to focus on fraud in these spaces. Because the suckers just keep coming. Google profits from it, so there's little incentive to fix the glitch.
How Edge Computing Is Changing the Present Past and Future of IoT
FWIW, the "trusted sources" checkbox has been more of a way to scare away people from using Google's competitors (like the Amazon Appstore or F-Droid) than actually indicating any true trustworthiness, given that tons of malware comes from the Play Store, and Google Play Protect ranks dead last on AVTEST.org benchmarks for malware detection.

I believe Google finally introduced a way to deem other app stores as trusted on your phone, but given this is just a block on the manual installation feature, I would consider the trusted sources checkbox to be more "anticompetition focused" than "security focused".
> pre-communist Russia was that it was still basically medieval in many ways with serf/noble type relationships

Which were dismantled in 1961.

Since then, 56 years passed before the revolution. That's a lot of time. Russian Empire was urbanizing and industrializing rapidly.

If not for communists, Russia will be more like 300 mln strong Norway today, not 140 mln strong Guatemala like it's today.
For what it’s worth, this appears localized to your account. Sorry for your situation, though.

This assassination was covered in the US.

However, I don't understand the coverage either here or in Europe and am hoping that a local Maltese reader might be able to help out. In all the coverage, she's praised to the skies as a tough investigative journalist who uncompromisingly challenged authorities and followed through on corruption.

But then you go to her blog, which was her primary reporting outlet, and it's nothing of the kind. Her last post was literally belittling a politician for his posture [1]. The rest of her posts include gossip and snark ("Opposition leader’s wife says convicted drug dealer’s girlfriend is 'one of my closest and most trusted friends'"). [2] And so on.

For locals in Malta, or anyone who actually followed her before she was killed, was she viewed in Malta as a serious investigative reporter? TIA.

I don't see anything on the status page. I know the status page lags an actual incident, but I'd imagine something would be up by now. Is this a widespread problem?
C++ would also make it harder to get it wrong. Its type system is powerful enough to enforce rules like "you must call access_ok before writing through a pointer": you just have access_ok transform an inaccessible pointer token of some sort, passed in as a syscall parameter, into a different kind of object through which you can write into memory.

The generated machine code would be identical to what's in the kernel today, but it'd be both safer and cleaner. C++ still has to get over the bad gang-of-four-1990s-era-object-goo reputation it has among systems people.
The dig at the beginning that „white men“ got 1962 the Nobel prize for DNA instead Rosalind Franklin was cringey and factually incorrect. Frankin died in 1958 and the Nobel prize is not awarded posthumously. Had she lived she would have gotten it too, there is no question about that.

You lose credibility when you make this comment after misreading the quote you’re railing against.
I don't think it's folklore but am not sure about scientific "proof". I also just heard on the radio yesterday an explanation that high THC content can cause those anxiety effects and the CBDs can balance it out, so in the future they might be marketed in terms of THC:CBD ratios. Interesting.
Linux kernels in production (since we all now like to run docker there :)) without grsec/seccomp have always been pretty dangerous. What I dislike about docker is their feature creep and lack of proactively steering their users to accepting more secure defaults. The mindset towards security in the Linux kernel community remains shockingly stubborn compared to the shift to "better security", which is taking over the rest of the industry.
Leaving the EU isn't a withdrawal? Can you elaborate a little more eloquently?

Yeah but what about people who aren't most people? Are you saying they don't matter? That doesn't sound very open source.
It's pretty common knowledge among heavy weed smokers that those strains have those effects. Sometimes science lags a bit behind ...
Yes I agree with both those websites... and they're arguing against the website of these books. It has weird graphics, it isn't simple HTML, it's generated by JavaScript.
AirDrop on Mac solves this problem. But how do you propose getting Microsoft and Apple to implement a cross platform standard when they have financial incentive to not do so? Cloud storage is the best answer, even though it is an extra technically unnecessary step for local transfer. That said, Even my 60+ technically illiterate mother can do it reliably. I think this is an excellent example of letting “perfect be the enemy of good enough”.

The question is why it was deemed necessary to morph the document-centric Web into a Frankenplatform, and for what price. The complexity of CSS has already driven Opera (who once employed the original inventor of CSS) out of the business of producing a web renderer.
All else being equal, yes. But the larger benefit of using digital notes like org mode is the ability to apply structure to notes that matches your mental model, thus strengthening your mental model. It's hard to do this with paper without erasing.
It is true that this has entered marijuana folklore. Some people say that the strain type makes no difference to them, and others say that it definitely does.

I'd call them guidelines rather than scientifically-verified law. Just like other psychoactive substances, results can vary wildly among individuals. My anecdotal experiences do largely line up with the folklore, for whatever it's worth. It goes beyond cannabis, too. For me, drinking gin can be very dangerous because for some reason I get hammered after one or two drinks, whereas drinking scotch of the same proof does not affect me nearly as much.
Those people by definition aren't Googles customers. And Google is the one developing the OS. Maybe Apple will be more open to developing an OS for people that hate them? :)
Your otherwise good comment probably should include two things that are critical to Google's stance on Android security:

1. They're a surveillance company that has more actual and potential earnings the more they know about their customers. They get good margins when their customers lack privacy with devices locked into Google by default.

2. They don't care about users' safety since make billions off Android platform but wont even patch vulnerabilities quickly. They have enough money to design a server UNIX from scratch plus a full-custom CPU plus mitigations from code injection at CPU level with all that leaving them with a few billion in revenue left out of Android alone. They just don't care since they're a public company about squeezing out every ounce of profit.

So, their incentives ensure they will leave the devices insecure. Someone will have to make their own versions that are secure like Copperhead and separation kernels before them (eg OK Labs) did. Alternatively, convince Google to offer a paid, secure option for their own internal use if nothing else with them recovering costs by eating up the cryptophone market's revenues.
