> If you don't get sick with fear inside when you name your rate then it isn't high enough

Absolutely spot on.
I sat in a meeting with a client and another consultant who named a price for some work. The client’s immediate response was “when can you start?”.
My immediate thought was “You could get twice that”.
When it came around to my turn to name a price I went in high, and spent the next half hour arguing my value.

So I would put it another way; if the client doesn’t balk at your rate and try and negotiate it down, it’s too low.
Wrote a piece of code and thought about how broken it will be in the year 10k and found this pretty hilarious article.
I'll add my thank you. I'm also backer at Patreon.

It takes quite awhile for the battery to degrade to the point it can’t run the CPU at max capacity anymore. And it still could, but it would be potentially unstable.
What exactly are you referring to? If we’re talking in the context of education, it’s well-established that education in this country is not equal. The factors including race and class that led to this have their roots in historical factors, yet a solution must be found as the issues exist today.

What exactly happened hundreds of years ago that you’re referring to?
And Intel isn’t? Intel’s modems have substantially all LTE bands.
They aren't webapps but they're each a different ecosystem and workflow entirely separate from the rest of the OS. You can add integration to various parts of the OS via extra scripts/plugins but that you need to do so proves the point. With Xi it seems the goal is to have a powerful shared core but the UI frontends are tailored for the OS/DE they're meant to be run in rather than having one generic cross-platform frontend.
Get rid of all health insurance except for major medical, and all forms of government-provided health insurance. Veterans get a voucher. Promote HSAs for everything else. Major medical insurance companies are not-for-profit only. These not-for-profits accept donations for the poor and elderly. All other payments go from the pocket of the patient to the doctor. Health care costs go down dramatically, liberty increases, doctors make more money, preventative health care increases. It's a win across the board. It will never happen.
Germany invaded Russia in June 1941. The US entered the war in December 1941. From the US perspective, the Russians were never anything but allies in the war.
The Soviets also had the goal of exterminating the Polish professional class, hence their massacres at Katyn & elsewhere of, among others, Polish Boy Scouts.

Few people realise that the Soviet Union took roughly one-third of Poland when it & Germany invaded Poland at the beginning of the Second World War — and it kept that territory after the war. Polish society in those conquered territories was replaced with Russian society.
I’ve always felt Apple and Nintendo have a common thread that rarely gets appreciated.
By a "compact track pump" do you mean a bicycle pump? It surely doesn't deliver the volume needed, a car tyre must be many times the volume of a bike tyre -- I see figures of 1.35 and 22 litres respectively.

So to shift the volume of air needed to get your car tyre to 60psi you're going to be looking at c. 10 times the duration of pumping as getting a bike tyre to 125psi. If it's a racing tyre and an SUV tyre the duration multiplier would probably be much higher.
I agree it's probably just as much a warning to prevent overstated claims in general as it's harmful for numerous reasons.
They just create one out of thin air and claim that it is backed by real money. But they don't tell you where that money is actually being held, and their auditor recently resigned, so there is no trustworthy independent verification that this money really exists.
Short answer: YES you do need a competent business minded cofounder.

Technology is a component of many solutions to real world problems. It is a common trap to have solutions in search of problems.

Perhaps you could look at your past contracts and identify which industries you enjoyed working in the most. You could then go back and talk with contacts you made in those industries. Based on those conversations you might be able to identify people who have a big problem that you can help create a solution for.

BTW you mention having a couple of devs, etc. Do you have funds to pay salaries for them or do you need the cofounder help you with getting starting capital? The more people you expect to work for 12+ months for sweat equity alone, the less likely you are to be able to successfully launch a new business.
It would rise as priced in tether, with tether depreciating against the dollar. You will see larger spreads between tether exchanges and dollar exchanges, which already regularly grow into the hundreds.

If people were holding tether because they wanted to be flat with respect to the cryptocurrency market, they will likely sell their cryptocurrency on a dollar exchange, suppressing prices there.
But cars are a necessity as well (for some parts of the world), and there's cars to fit all sorts of price points in the same way that you get get smartphones and tablets at any price.
It would just make the giant mining farms in China powered by hydro-electric generators that much more profitable.
The Sun is already bombarding everything with trillions and trillions of neutrinos.

> In the vicinity of the Earth, about 65 billion (6.5×10^10) solar neutrinos per second pass through every square centimeter perpendicular to the direction of the Sun.[1]

Given that each side of the base of the Great Pyramid of Giza is 230.4 meters long, that means it's 5,308,416 cm^2; if the Sun is directly overhead, that means something like:

5,308,416 x 6.5x10^10 / 10^12 = 345,047.04

345,047.04 trillion neutrinos would be passing through the pyramid every second.

The problem is detecting them.[2]

I can't comment on the physical comfort or functionality of the Model 3 since I haven't sat in one or driven it, but visually I think it looks amazing inside. I love the clean, minimalist look. It really does "look like a spaceship". I love how wide open and clear it is. It looks modern. I'm a nerd, I want to feel like I'm in the future, and the Model 3 does that.

I'd prefer that interior to the one in the S\X, so in fact the Y sounds like the perfect car for me.

However, this does hinge on having good steering wheel controls for things like climate control and audio, and large touch targets on the screen for anything not on the wheel - messing with a fiddly touchscreen while driving is no good.

I have heard that there is a lack of storage space inside the S\X, and that the overall build quality of some parts could be improved - we'll see how that goes with the 3 and future S\Xs.
If they did, it's a veritable certainty that that fact would be under NDA.
That would be awesome, but it’s difficult to see how that would fit in with Nintendo’s vision, which seems to be merging console and mobile gaming. How do you do that without competing directly with iPhone/iPad?

I keep reading about these magical places. Say that I have a 1000 BTC. What is the exchange that would allow me to sell 500 BTC and wire money to my account in:

a) Chase Manhattan Bank in New York City ( USD )

c) HSBC ( Paris ), account in Euros.

The wire must show up live in 72 business hours and post to the account within 72 * 2 hours.

> Kelby Reed, who lives in the city’s Ninth Ward, said he favored expanding the presence of security cameras in New Orleans to deter crime.

This isn't about deterring crime, it's about catching criminals. Which is not the same thing. I wish departments would be more upfront about this.

There's no statistical link between cameras and crime prevention [1].

Quasicrystals and metamaterials exhibit the same phenomena. They were well known and studied in 2014. Regardless, having unique interactions with the outside world is not a new intrinsic state.

The war would have ended even faster had Britain and France not let Chechoslovakia get partitioned. They proved themselves completely unreliable, and unsurprisingly, after a failed attempt to turn West, Stalin signed a deal with the devil.

The Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was not signed without context. The USSR sought out, and was rejected from an alliance with Britain and France.

Putting proof of ownership of a photo on the blockchain is an interesting idea, but I don't understand the economics.

Artists pay Kodak to register their image with the blockchain, and Kodak has a mechanism to crawl the web to find images violating this blockchain registration.

Okay, great, but why would anyone want to mine their blockchain?

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

Elon Musk already learned that lesson.
The real gamble was Kodak offering their namesake in a token project for "no direct revenue from the public offering... receive a minority stake in WENN Digital, 3 percent of all KodakCoins issued and a royalty on future revenue."

Minority ownership in a random company owned by a former fraudster and 3% of the tokens with their own name on it? So many things wrong with this. Where is the secret deal that made this happen? Did the Kodak CEO get 40% of the tokens in his personal wallet? For a multi-decade, legacy brand to entrust that guy with their future is rather bizarre. If this fails, it is quite possibly the last nail for Kodak..
I think that pointing out that Soviet atrocities were worse than Nazi atrocities (and Maoist atrocities were worse still) isn't a matter of 'regional resentments' but of ground truth.

Even if they’re focused on power saving, the devices their chips end up are still less efficient than an iPhone AND they have lower performance. This might mostly be a software issue, but it still speaks to how far ahead Apple is by most metrics.

I use my phone relatively heavily, and I still get better battery life with an iPhone because the passive energy usage is just so damn low.
Just today I was trying to edit a 15MB JSON file and it was so terribly slow with Sublime Text and wondered if there was something faster out there.

Edit: So I built Xi-Mac and the file opens in a fraction vs ST3 but once it's open performance is just as bad or maybe even worse.

Garbage opinion piece regurgitating fears already known. I mean jesus, he even says that it's about as useless as a $100 bill.

Amazon succeeds by being data driven.

http://ShopIn.com is working to move buyer personas out of data silos by decentralize purchasing history onto a federated blockchain.

Decentralizing purchasing data should let individual brands compete more equally.

It's an ambitious project but should it take off it will provide real world data to make smaller brands more competitive.
Atomic Host was introduced in RHEL7.2 if I remember correctly. There's a lot of room for introducing CoreOS technology before RHEL9, which would probably be 4-5 years from now.

(disclaimer: working at Red Hat, though not on anything related to containers).
Maybe we're using different definitions of "native". In the most common case, both of these editors use the cross-platform "VT-100 UI Toolkit" (e.g. ansi escape codes in your terminal emulator), regardless of platform. Some exceptions do exist. But native as it's being used in relation to this project refers specifically to whatever frontend framework is 'the standard' for a given platform, where one exists.
Right, and Teslas are the best cars on the market today for auto-steer and adaptive cruise control, which contributes significantly to driving experience. As for family comfort, the Tesla seats are pretty good, and I don't really want any other comfort features than a good seat or two, and a cup-holder. Most everything else I want for family comfort/entertainment is delivered better via tablet or phone.
> If I delete my server database, start anew, and join a room I used to be in, will I end up in a bad state, or are things more robust these days? I remember reading about it somewhere.

It should end up (eventually) in a consistent state, but it can take a while to sync up again.

> Does the server _still_ solve a bunch of names and open hundreds of connections / server event interval or whatever it was called?

It's still full mesh, so whenever you send a message in a room, your server has to make a HTTPS hit to every other server which is participating in that room. In a massive room like Matrix HQ, this could mean 800 hits or so. It shouldn't do DNS every time, and it shouldn't open a new connection every time, but haven't checked the connpooling recently; hopefully it hasn't regressed.
I wasn't suggesting that you were. It's a caution that the term "outsider" likely isn't the right word, because it's close to historical racist stereotypes, and from my admittedly poor understanding, might bring with it other connotations than what you mean.

As I understand your use of 'outsider', a person with a white background is an outsider to blacks, and will be disfavored for that reason by blacks, and a person with a black background will be an outsider to whites and disfavored for that reason.

In colonial countries the whites had the power, so even if what you say is true, it's a relatively small component to the power structure of the culture.

What usually happens is that mixed race people form their own group, historically identified with terms like "mulatto" or "brown" or "coloured". They are not outsiders to other members of that group, and as a group have a privilege level between those of whites and of blacks.

Your construction didn't seem to consider that a new racial group might form.

The "tragic mulatto" concept, as I understand it, is based on the premise that there are only whites or blacks, that whites and blacks will both disfavor mixed race people, and that mixed race people will not form their own racial group with in-group privileges.

This is why I believed a caution was in order.
I for one say, hurrah.
> Fulfillment centers are large enough that shipping them in individual boxes may actually be the cost-effective method at times.

You missed half of what I wrote, "instead of in 20 oversized but mostly empty boxes." The context was in a single order from a single supplier, whose product was already at the warehouse, shipping on the same date, to the same address, for the same delivery date, using the same delivery carrier, of almost identical items that almost assuredly are on the warehouse shelves right next to each other.

> I've also heard they play a bit of a game of tetris to fill truck trailers in a way that completely stuffs them full enough that packages don't move around.

That may be the case, but I am referring to the incorrect packing of boxes not trucks.

Actually, it is pretty well documented that Germans forestalled Soviet offensive by just few weeks, maybe months. Red Army’s initial misfortunes after Germany’s attack in 1941 were caused by the fact that all the troops they had in proximity to USSR-German border were preparing to attack, not to defend themselves.

Ask HN: Is there a way to load all Disqus comments?
I really dislike websites that use Disqus as their comment engine. The reason is that comments are loaded in small batches. This poses a problem because if you decide to collapse the top comment, you need to keep pressing "Load more comments" until you reach the next top-level comment.

Is there a way to turn it into an HN-like format where ALL comments are loaded? Or at least very large numbers of them? Or is that up to the site administrators?
That may be the deep cut under there that the wiper lie in. It's for maximum aerodynamics.
Presumably GDAX...? I’m sure it wouldn’t be as smooth as pushing buttons and they would likely want something stating where you got the coins.
> money is created through the act of deficit spending

A slight quibble:

All federal government spending is money creation. All federal government taxation or fees is money destruction.

If you ignore debt (not a very MMT thing to do), you could say that net money creation is deficit spending.

Commodities actually is not exactly the safest area to invest in if you go to the wrong people. Gold coins for instance have their fair share of fraud-peddlers. (https://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-2016/gold-coin-i...)

My best guess is, based on their guidelines (https://www.facebook.com/policies/ads/), sure, Facebook would be okay with any gold advertisements from accredited commodities investment institutions.

On the other hand, advertisements from certain random shady gold coin dealers? Honestly, Facebook should be weary of advertisements in this space too, if they aren't already.

If there was a way for cryptocurrency to come from an "accredited institution" with "sufficient disclosure" of various metrics and safeguards typically used in retail investing, I would think Facebook would be okay with it. It's more that a lot of cryptocurrency (really unfortunately considering how fascinating the tech is) feels shady and/or scam like at the moment.

We've heard about Bitcoin being a bubble and having no intrinsic value the entire duration of its existence -- so much so that Paul making these his main arguments feel like traveling back to ~2013 when it was "bubbling" then.

If people use Bitcoin and believe it has value, it _gives_ it value and credibility, in the same way that diamonds have value, even though they are no longer "rare".

When people stop using Bitcoin, or stop believing it has value or is worthy of value, any "bubble" state it has will burst.

My main question when reading this article was: when a major technological change or shift happened in the past few decades, did people realize at the time the potential, or did they make articles like this saying that the technology was a bubble? All it makes me think of is this famous Newsweek article: http://www.newsweek.com/clifford-stoll-why-web-wont-be-nirva...

I'm not saying that Cryptocurrencies will be the next internet (maybe it will be the next big .com crash), but entrepreneurs who become rich will be the ones that at least took the risk to believe (for better or worse).
> I'm not sure any of your claims are backed up by data.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dunbar%27s_number has a decent collection of the research I know of. There is a little hand-waving involved when it comes to "why", but it's notable that multiple researchers over decades disagree about the number, not the base concept. Likewise, studies related to the base concept of the non-technical Brooks Law support the non-linear impact on communication as a group grows (off hand I can't find a study on that, but I know I've read of multiple).

Edit: Also https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/how-risky-is-it-really/... points out some research about the distance/abstractness I mentioned.

Anecdotally, plenty of governing and/or economic systems (e.g. communism) have historical success in small groups and no examples of success in large groups, but that's a completely different kind of evidence.

The corruption/abuse item is not part of the research, which is why I separated that as "I suspect" Given the above, and what we know about leaders (executives, politicians) and how sociopathic tendencies are an asset to personal success I find it very plausible but I have no actual evidence, thus "I suspect".

> I could just as easily argue that smaller, more insular groups promote distrust of outsiders and lack of empathy

You could, and I'd actually be interested to see any research on the topic because I've not thought about that one but it does match our general experiences about exposure and tolerance to social differences. That's orthogonal to my point though, as I was only addressing internal workings, not interactions between groups.
Great to see their innovation recognized and hopefully it will become even more popular & widespread with RedHat's distribution muscle and enterprise customer relationships.
Indonesian Master Plan: Ban Bitcoin, Create National Cryptocurrency
No one can be sure, but if they only place these cameras in public locations and have them facing public areas, then there should be no expectation of privacy to begin with.

If they have them facing private areas and use them to record those privately owned areas, then that's another issue.
