I was disappointed that YCombinator funded Optimizely given that they were expressly copying the idea of a small, single-founder who was sharing his business and experience on these boards.

Mediums create expectations around availability, presence, and response times.

Phone (excluding VOIP): availability is not expected, but once call is picked up, response is immediate.

Email: availability is guaranteed (if you know their email), and a response times range from minutes to next day.

IM / Slack: Availability is known and a response expected in the seconds / minutes range if you are available.

It comes down to using the right tool for the job@ "hej Jeb, you in the office?" - use IM.

Then go over to Jeb's office to continue the discussion on whether to go with solution A or solution B. Its an indepth discussion that takes over an hour and Jeb closes his door so the two of you can discuss without interruption.

Back in your own office, you email Jeb with a summary of the discussion and the points agreed.

Jeb calls back saying "hey, i'm not sure about para X"... You discuss it over the phone, issue is resolved in a couple of minutes. You post the updated document to the internal wiki and email the team.

Feeling productive, you decide its time for a coffee, you slack the channel asking who would care to join you.

When a company normalises the expectation of getting a response to anything in seconds, interruptions happen all the time and productivity takes a hit.

Also, I hate open offices and thank heavens I only have had to work in one for a few months. The only true progress we ever made was going through the lunch menus of all the nearby restuarants.

On the other hand having say, a handful of people in a room (three or four) is a good balance between the chaos of open office (and real estate cost efficiencies) and giving everyone their own (potentially isolating) office.

> conflates free speech as social and legislative ideals

What's to conflate? Free speech as a legislative goal is primarily useful in so far as it furthers a social goal. I'm just going to quote Scott for this from now on:

>If you’re a very stupid libertarian strawman, you might ask whether that town had any anti-gay laws on the book – and, upon hearing they didn’t, say that town was “pro-gay”. If you’re not a very stupid libertarian strawman, you hopefully realize that being pro-gay isn’t about boasting how progressive your law code looks, it’s about having a society where it’s possible to be gay. Not having laws against locking up gay people is a necessary precondition, but it’s useless on its own. You only get good results if good laws are matched by good social norms.

>Likewise, the goal of being pro-free-speech isn’t to make a really liberal-sounding law code. It’s to create a society where it’s actually possible to hold dissenting opinions, where ideas really do get judged by merit rather than by who’s powerful enough to shut down whom. Having free speech laws on the books is a necessary precondition, but it’s useless in the absence of social norms that support it. If you win a million First Amendment victories in the Supreme Court, but actively work to undermine the social norms that let people say what they think in real life, you’re anti-free-speech.

> there is so much bike traffic in cities in the Netherlands that we're experimenting with funnel-shaped bike crossings

That's a neat solution, but I don't think Copenhagen has the same need. There are places with as many bicycles, but these also have more road space for them. There are similarly narrow roads, but there are other roads and cyclists spread across all of them.

Rotterdam should be more directly comparable with Copenhagen; a harbour but a lot fewer canals within the city.

Anyway, the biggest difference I noticed in the Netherlands is there's more often a kerb between the bike lane and the cars. Also, outside of towns the provision is better; there are more inter-town paths along roads, and paved paths through forests etc where there is no car road.
To the author: I would like to know why you stubbornly keep promoting Linux/KVM and keep ignoring SmartOS as if it did not exist at all?
That does not mirror my experience, I hate to be the guy suggesting this but have you considered the fact that you're using it wrong?

What I mean by that is that SQLite really is a replacement for open() and as such is not multi-thread compatible. If you're doing a lot of work that's corrupting you can also turn up the level of binary logging until recovery becomes easy enough.

I'm using SQLite effectively on a few thousand multi-threaded windows machines and I've encountered corruption exactly once- which was when a hardware raid had degraded non-gracefully.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned PRECIS - the framework for Preparation, Enforcement, and Comparison of Internationalized Strings in Application Protocols[0].

It defines a (small) set of profiles to validate and compare various types of string, including "Username" (in both case folded and case prepared variants) and "Nickname".

Want to compare two usernames for equality? Run the two strings through the comparison steps for the UsernameCaseMapped[1] profile.

It won't solve all of your problems, but it's a good place to start.

I suppose I was more specific than I really should have been. More broadly, I'm trying to say that you have control over the tools and processes followed by your customer service. They can be used to combat social engineering.

For something as important as the credentials for a bitcoin exchange account, as Alex gave as his example, there should be policies specifying the reasons why account credentials can be changed and what evidence must be presented to do so. Front-line customer service reps shouldn't be flying by the seat of their pants when making difficult decisions with potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line.
How to Use Pinngle for Making International Calls

We pay taxes whether we use the roads or not. Those taxes are decoupled from any given road. Further, when I visit a state in which I do not live, I use those freeways without paying a cent, directly or indirectly.

If the complaint is that roads require maintenance and are therefore not free, that's a torture of the word.
For what it's worth, I partially agree with jnordwick's comment. I've noticed an uptick over the last couple of months in the comments that receive public callouts feeling ideological in nature. It may just be based on who flags posts, since a lot of non polemic low quality posts seem to go dead after a few hours without any flagging, but it may be worth looking into this pattern, because I imagine you don't want to give off the perception that the public callouts come from having the wrong opinions instead of nonconstructive ones.
Thereally are several examples of per pupil expenditure against student performance that suggest you are wrong. NYC for example spends about $22K per kid. Results are middling at best, even with a number of troubling things done to mask how bad things like attendance, test scores, and graduation rates really are. A similar situation exists in Washington DC. Money is simply not the answer to all problems.

Show HN: Grow your audience with a curated newsletter
Look up the Battle of Cannae, wherein Hannibal successfully encircled a force of approximately 80k Romans and killed approximately 70k of them. This wasn't bowmen vs infantry but, primarily, infantry vs infantry. The battle was effectively won once the encirclement was completed, but killing people in close quarter combat is an agonizingly slow process unless there's a rout. Encircled soldiers can't rout. The slaughter continued until darkness, and only after dark did the battle cease, leaving some survivors (night battles were exceedingly rare in antiquity).

Imagine being in the middle of an army that is being driven into a more and more compact mass of panicking humanity, knowing that you've lost and are doomed to die, but that death does not arrive for, possibly, the better part of a day! Livy reported of the Romans that, "Some were found with their heads plunged into the earth, which they had excavated; having thus, as it appeared, made pits for themselves, and having suffocated themselves."

I'd take one good charge and death by a storm of arrows over that any day.
It seems we can already train a neural network to outperform an average JavaEE programmer. For many of them, his is the start of an era of gloom.
The last couple of places that I have worked also had a number of sensible rules in place to ensure quality. E.g.
- never commit directly to master, always create a PR from a branch
- always make sure tests are green before merging
- branches should be traceable to JIRA IDs
- checklists in JIRA
- etc.

Apart from the checklists, which people tend to skip, most of it makes sense. Running everything through a pull request is a good example of something which slows down the process but which is still worthwhile IMHO.

That being said, I really dislike when too many of these constraints are enforced by the technology. In coding, like in driving a car, there are times when common sense overrides traffic rules. Sometimes, even in the best and most diligent teams, the build server turns red. In that situation you just need to quench the fire ASAP to keep it from spreading. You don't want to create a task in JIRA, you don't want to create a branch, you don't want to involve your colleagues in pull requests, and you don't want to wait for a hour for unit tests to pass. You just want to apply the simple fix or revert the commit.

And that's why I prefer moderate social pressure over some algorithm enforcing stuff. A good team will know why the rules are there, they'll be professional enough to stick to them 99% of the time, and they'll also be professional enough to break them the last 1% of the time.

The part about increasing density near public transit was interesting. It's true that high density is a must to make public transit viable. However, I presume there is little vacant land near public transit. In that case, a mandate to increase density would be telling people to demolish and rebuild with higher density than what's there. If that's the case then the comparison to Putin might be justified - and perhaps the crony capitalism part depending who profits from this "upgrade".

Legalize everything, and offer the appropriate counter-medication at a discounted cost. Heroine costs someone $20 per use? Methadone is $10.

You'll never keep drugs out of the hands of people who want them, all you're doing is creating artificial scarcity driving up prices and giving people like Mexican drug cartels huge financial incentives to run drugs into the country. Even if only 1/10th of their drugs make it into the US, as long as there's an demand, that supply will be exponentially worth more, and cause more harm than pharmaceutical grade heroine sold just like alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, etc...

As far as I can tell there is no good reason and it's an artifact of a somewhat confused legislative process. I definitely think the US system of tax deferred retirement accounts could be simplified significantly.

Note though that the draw weights of medieval bows were way higher than a modern sport recurve bow. Estimates vary but go as high as 150 pounds--so maybe 3x typical bows used today.

I see that the author comes from an Literature background, but in my opinion the author of this article should have done better research on Primitive Technology's author (and other great examples, Dick Proenneke[2] comes to mind first) and his methods, and not just stop at the FAQ in the About section of his channel.

I would also have liked a quick mention about how this extremely popular YouTube channel doesn't have advertisement.

Haha that's what the fad is becoming! I've been to many "nomad" cities and always avoid meeting so-called nomads - and cringe when I see one in a cafe who brought 2 external monitors and is having a "standup" call...
> but it's probably more complicated and harder the reason about

Absolutely not. It's made far easier to reason about through the fact that all of its features are exposed through a pure-functional language, giving the reader the ability to reason about each expression inside each level of brackets individually. It's extremely freeing reasoning about code once you realize you can rule out side effects.
Yes this would be much more interesting. I don't see much value (for me) in what is just overpriced co-living space. What would be useful would be a kind of subscription/housing-as-a-service approach. You pay $X month for membership, give four weeks notice that you'll be arriving in Y city on a given date, and you get back an email with a booking you can confirm or reject.

The problem is that as a nomad 1) a lot of time is wasted looking for good housing 2) you do have to understand the dynamics of the local market to find the best deals since AirBNB is often not the best path and 3) it is stressful knowing you'll be homeless at the end of the month.

I think many nomads aren't deciding where to go on a whim but have pretty clear itineraries of what countries they'll be visiting and how long their visas last. A company that could work with such nomads to offer long-term housing planning could save a lot of time and money.

Then again it's not really clear how big such a market really is.
Usually if people are looking around, they are pretty fed up with the place they are at for one reason or another. If it's a good developer, they would know they would make the cut, so they would take it if it were a decent company with decent pay.

Also, there is no distinction between a full time job and a temporary contract in terms of survivability in the US. Most states are at-will states, and not being able to do the work is a fire-able offense. Just about everyone knows this.

Most people who have been in the business a while aren't willing to move to a new city, again unless you are willing to pay ungodly sums of money. If you are hiring right out of college and junior-mid's, this technique is better suited, but still, you're competing poorly in a seller's market.

I mean, just because you are hiring and paying a salary doesn't mean 20 other companies in your area aren't doing the same. What makes you better? Certainly not market rates and certainly not your exhaustive and mostly ineffective interview process.

You want a good person, ask your tops if they know anyone good, then try to lure them away with an offer of 1.2x - 1.5x market rates, depending on the return you expect from them. Trust your tops and don't put them through this silly process. Have the top interview them with you in the room. Spend about an hour with them to make sure they aren't some weirdo. Trust me, they'll respect you more if you respect their time.
