Ask HN: Self promotion?
I suck at this and I can't tell how much is me doing something wrong and how much is stuff I can't control, like sexism or classism. I'm frankly scared to ask again because it so often goes so very badly.

But I need more traffic for my websites, more resume work, more patrons, more tips, more earned income.

And it seems to never matter how I ask or when I ask. But I am not making adequate progress, so I need some help solving this.

Thanks in advance.
Not really. #4 and #1 have the same outward appearance, but different mental states.
> iTunes was, of course, and I'll say this now, brilliant. It single-handedly taught us an entirely new philosophy on software design. Do you really need that Preference that 1% of your users will use?

Hilarious with the context of what an awful beast iTunes became in the decade following.
Google is in a tough spot with this.

On the one hand they sincerely want to increase diversity because increasing the pool of candidates means there are more candidates to choose from. Also, having more women see technology as a career path is a good thing for the American workforce --it strengthens it.

On the other hand, there are some who then see this initiative to begin their crusades for diversity in their vision. That is, it ends being a means to enrich the pool of applicants but rather a means to play favorites and push agendas. That's to say Google wants to increase women in the workforce but they do not want to make men "unwanted".

I have known people there and I am told that the generalities that we hear that conservatives tend to stay quiet and that one side of the political spectrum in encouraged while the other is shunned is true.

Beside that, this person left voluntarily, they did not get fired despite their attempts to re-start contentious conversations management had sought to regain control over.

By the way, overlooked in all this is the overrepresentation of non-American citizens in the companies, with respect to wanting the companies to reflect the Am pop at large. And, who cares about that stat. I mean, they contribute a whole hell of a lot. Yet, you see, people only care about _their_ interpretation of what is acceptable diversity and unacceptable diversity figures.

You are exactly correct. It's honestly pathetic that we've let cloud DNS providers (not to mention most alternative resolvers) get away with providing such inadequate interfaces compared to BIND. It's not actually difficult to admin, it's incredibly capable, and it fucking accepts AXFR/IXFR. It's insane to me that anyone puts up with such standards-hostile software.
Nope. I'm claiming the reviewer's stuff about the car's feeling was also based on the options, though he did say he would try to "mentally subtract them". Seems like it would be better to just get a review from someone who tried the base model, rather than someone trying to mentally subtract them. Especially when they are as tactile as drive feel.

I use vscode as a Golang IDE. It's pretty comprehensive with the extension that integrates the Go toolchain.

I tried Gogland EAP for a while, and liked it a bit better, but now it's a paid product, I'm happy with vscode (which has 95% of the features I use and 0% of the price).

> An angry, lonely person, a mentally ill person, or a teen with attitude? They’ll burn more cycles screaming than anyone else can or will reasoning, and they’re happy to just be a nuisance, or be heard.

Many years ago, a small country where I live was dominated online by a single mentally ill person. In our country, those day the internet was new and quite slow. This person, originally from our country, was living somewhere in USA or Canada, with full disability for their mental illness, and a very fast internet connection. And they spent the whole day browsing our websites (the dozen major websites we had back then), participating in almost every discussion that contained some of their favorite keywords. And because of the difference in free time available and speed of internet connection, most admins were completely helpless. This person could create a new account and post hundred comments faster than the admins could use their slow modems to ban the account; and the avalanche continued for 16 hours a day, every day.

Yes, insane people have an asymmetrical advantage at online debates, because they spend less time reading and thinking. (In real life, too, but there at least they cannot teleport from one place to another.)
I actually want it the other way around. I want those Tab to be loaded in lowest priority, once they are finished rendering, pause it for eternity until i switch back to it.

So I literally want a snapshot of it staying there. This way when i switch to it, it should be close to instantaneous.

I have been thinking of another Idea, when unread tabs reach a large number, these tabs were once opened, but inactive or not touched for a period of time because i didn't have time to read it yet, should automatically move off to another Window. And this Window should be designed to have Tabs on the side, and some other changes making it more of a reading session rather then browsing / surfing session.

Why not bookmark it or Pocket it, because these action will simply means i will never touch them again or I forget about it.
Nothing you've said seems wrong to me, but the tone of how you write is too dismissive.

> since there are other explanations (lifestyle habits, genetics, poverty) that would explain the difference, in whole or in part.

This doesn't contradict the meaning of "structural, systemic racism", but it explains it. When pharmacies are making drugs that are only effective for white people, and not researching effectiveness on black people, that's structural racism almost by definition.

Obviously pharma companies are responding to financial incentives, and if it's not profitable for a company to research treatments specifically helping a minority group then they're probably not going to. Less availability of pharmaceuticals makes treatment harder, causing what is available more expensive or leading to complications that require more further medical treatment (and cost more money); and those who choose not to get treatment will find themselves with further medical conditions later. In the end it would cost the minority more money, which they likely cannot pay for other systemic reasons, so more often they would be denied access to a hospital outright. Everyone involved is responding to natural incentives, but the net result still becomes [minority group] is neglected because of the color of their skin.

> Did you read the whole comment?

When you write like this it feels like you're attacking the character of the person you're talking to, which makes the whole conversation more toxic to follow.
I think it's more the sad state of America's 2 party system - elections are less about voting for the "best" candidate, and more about voting for the least bad of the only 2 viable choices. A vote for a 3rd party candidate is effectively a vote against your favorite of the main party candidates.

I think some sort of ranked voting system would be better.

What greater good do you speak of? Regardless of how repugnant you find Theil, his investments have led to thousands of great paying jobs directly, and probably tens of thousands of indirect jobs. That my friend, is a great service to society.

What you are suggesting is an ultra high tax rate on the wealthy and that's proven over and over to not work out. Italy, France and Spain for instance, have a pivoted to a socialistic society that punishingly taxes the rich to the point of driving the ambitious and successful out of the country. While these countries produced some of the most iconic companies and individuals in the early 1900s, it's no coincidence that a Google, Microsoft, etc hasn't emerged from there.

The world's richest man (adjusted for inflation), Bill Gates has donated over $18B in philanthropy. His management of money that can potentially help the needy has been far superior to any elected political figure or government organisation. Don't enable politicians with power over (your) tax money, their only aim is to get reelected - not to serve society. Enables another Bill Gates it Zuckerberg, who've both pledged 99% of their wealth to charity. Heck, enable a Peter Theil to fund the next Facebook and create billions in wealth, jobs and taxes.

You should read The Mars Trilogy by Kim Stanley Robinson. It's fiction, but it's one of the most well researched series of novels and is feels incredibly realistic, believable and it has really amazing characters/story to boot.

But this concern is expressed in that series, and it is a real one. The first people we send to Mars will not be visitors. They'll most likely be colonists. They will die there. Once they start to truly colonize (if they survive) we will loose the ability to determine if any microbes we find are Terran or Martian.
Voxels vs. Polygons basic Q/A
You're misunderstanding my post. Sorry if I wasn't clear.

I think that satisfying your own curiosity/the desire for knowledge is a valid reason to pursue knowledge.

I don't think knowledge needs to be directly useful to be worth pursuing.

But, all cultures amd people pursue knowledge they believe to be valuable in some way.

No culture encourages it's people to record the number of specs of dust on their floor before they sweep just because they value truth.
Wikipedia[1] lists 52 colleges and universities in the boston metro area. The anecdotal number I've heard is 65-ish, which must go out into the suburbs a bit beyond wikipedia's bounds.

Amazon is a polarizing force, for sure. Some locals are concerned that their presence will drive up the cost of living further. Others want the broader economic impacts introduced by more tech jobs.

I think it's a bit ironic that the text, in a sense, blames Google for these problems by calling them the "Google Project Zero Exploits" as if Google was some sort of cyber crime syndicate using their evil powers to exploit intel.
Extra step would be using tineye.com or local machine vision to generate hashes for your blacklist based on visually similar images.
I think it's hard to see how this will affect Intel in the long term.

This is a website for tech and for startup culture, hosted by an incubator. A lot of startup culture is about "disrupting" industries, reshaping society, and streamlining the inefficiencies in the ways things are currently done. But politically, I find the discourse here pretty uncritical of the status quo, aside from a bit of libertarian contrarianness, which doesn't have any ideas that fall that far away from business as usual.

> The American political system for all its faults, is pretty good and maybe we should like try and do something normal

What do you consider normal in American politics? Here's what I think has been pretty normal historically:

- wealth inequality
- war
- corruption
- union busting
- labour exploitation of poor people and immigrants
- racism
- in recent decades: the decline of government spending on public services and investment in infrastructure and other projects that benefit the average citizen (rather than just subsidies to the already wealthy)
- interference in international politics, often for the worse (installing military dictatorships, sometimes only to go back to war with the same regimes, fighting expensive pointless wars against an ideology across the globe, offering unreasonable foreign aid to poor nations which cripple their economies, pressuring privatisation via IMF and other international bodies which cripples economies)
- as with the last point, I would have put this higher on the list but I figured it would make this comment even more unpopular than it already will probably be: genocide

I think many of these normalities of US politics in recent times have sort of inevitably led to the state it is currently in. So the election of celebrities at this point is something which, to me, seems to be more or less a continuation of US politics as normal. The absurdity of it all has just been allowed to go this far.

Saying that you want things to go back to "normal" really says something about how you have been affected by all the above points. It seems, for much of middle class America, that the detrimental consequences of past policy have only just now started to encroach on the parts of society that were previously protected from it.

So now that we are finally upset in this space of tech startups that has so much power and a desire to make radical change in the world, why ask for "normal" again? Why not ask for a radical change to a new kind of politics? Why can't we be critical and wonder whether the current system really is all that good as we're told, or whether the faults in the system are actually much worse than we previously thought?

I don't want another celebrity present. I also don't want anyone like the corrupt warmongers of the past either. I don't see why we'd want a president at all really.
Major Computer Chip Bugs Show the Need for Open Security Research
Fingers crossed, but then again, all the conservatives I know detested Trump too, and yet here we are.

If the field is fractured, a surprisingly small group of fans can push a highly disliked candidate to the top of the heap, and once that happens, the inexorable logic of the electoral system can make it difficult to reverse. (I'm thinking here of Trump, of course, but Clinton is almost as good an example.)

Same - could be a bubble but I haven't seen anything supporting her running, just pieces on why it would be terrible if she did - which I agree with.
From my perspective it’s somewhat the opposite. I’ve tried to be calm and measured and friendly while you (a) assumed I was trying to attack you (I have no idea why), (b) assumed I have a strongly held opposition to the general idea of kids staying at home (I am not planning to keep my kids at home – I would rather have them out exploring the city – but am not going to judge other parents for whatever beliefs/practices they might have; there are many worse things parents could do to their children than stay home with them for the first 8 years or whatever), (c) assumed I am advocating for public daycare as the best place for very small children, (d) put various hyperbolic words in my mouth.

“Hermetically sealed bubble” was a bit of an extreme description of your (largely unspecified) alternative to sending kids out into public, but personally I feel there are many good reasons to send kids out to e.g. the park, the grocery store, the street, the bus, the library, later to occasional organized classes, etc. (e.g. so they can learn many skills including socializing with peers and the community at large) without all that much evidence of significant risks. Small children living among communities of humans pretty much inevitably get sick at least several times per year, even in relatively small and isolated agrarian societies. By most objective measures (and especially if we disregard effects from terrible diet and sitting staring at screens a whole lot) children today are incredibly safe and healthy compared to past children.

I agree it hasn’t been especially constructive, but I’m not quite sure why you were and are so wound up and negative about the conversation here.
presumably because Intel does not have access to the necessary hardware configurations to test the fixes on?

TLDR - no one's stoppig you or any other non-billionaire from pledging 10% of your income, banding together and funding whatever program you want to. My guess is you've never really been active philanthropically, but, you feel entitled to take away Theil's money on taxes, though he earned his money in the exact same fashion as you earn yours. You've convinced yourself of false morality where punitively taxing the wealthy is completely ok

That was a fascinating, and heartbreaking, read. The statistics are astounding. I'm disappointed though that the author completely omitted any discussion of single-parent families. 66% of black families are single-parent vs. only 25% of white families. I would think that would have a huge impact on well-being and health of the mother, in general. Even just in terms of making time for doctor's visits, etc.

> the overrepresentation of non-American citizens in the companies, with respect to wanting the companies to reflect the pop at large

Or underrepresentation, depending on whether you're talking about the US pop or world pop. Or the population of countries where Google is not firewalled, and hence is the dominant gateway to the internet there.
So, I came of age right in the middle of the first dot-com boom. My observation is that back then, no one with money knew what they hell they were doing.

My observation during this dot-com boom is that a lot of the people who did well last round are now part of the VC infrastructure, like our own Paul Graham. My impression is that this time around, money is a lot more competent because of this.

Because this made such a huge impact on my life, I kinda want to extend it: perhaps the first round of any new technology is going to be littered with bad ideas. Perhaps that is necessary. Then perhaps those with experience can look backwards and do better next time.

I personally still think we are headed towards a second dot-com bust, but I've been saying that so long that at this point, I'm just wrong. Unquestionably, the business and money people did their jobs much more skillfully this time around than they did in the '90s.

No one ever, ever talks about int'l workforce representation at Toyota or Lexus or Huawei, or Samsung, or Kubota, or you know Petroleum from the ME. Never. This is only brought up as a distraction from the fact that they are overrepresented with respect to their numbers in America and as participants in the American workforce.

Aside from that, it's no country's responsibility to provide gainful employment to non-nationals.

I think this is not even the case.

I think these people are arseholes IRL. I think they are just as abusive and prone to road rage type reactions.

I don't think people are reasonable and respectable and suddenly road rage when they jump in the car. They are arseholes all the time, they just can't hide it as well when they drive.

I think they are more visible online only because they just impact less people IRL.
Buying datacenter bandwidth is that way. 3-5x variance and sometimes 10x between the first quote and what you pay.

Interestingly, servers seem to be only 1.5x, and if you buy your servers in parts, the variance is even smaller.

A Brief History of Cryo-Sleep
Ok, that makes sense, thanks for explaining it a bit more.

That seems like an absurdly broken implementation, I get why LetsEncrypt feels the need to disable it but I really hope they come up with some alternate solution.

I really like the tls-sni authentication method as it keeps authentication entirely inband to the final SSL goal. With HTTP you need to listen on/control 80+443, with DNS you need to control DNS. With tls-sni you need only control port 443. I'm a huge fan of x/crypto/acme/autocert.

Custom ALPN-signaled protocol should be doable and should solve all of this, I hope they do it.
I'm not sure what there is you can do about it. Call customer support and explain your predicament? I've not had the pleasure of dealing with this type of company so I'm not so sure what I'd do in this situation besides limping away with my data and taking my business somewhere else.
