I've only learned about docracy from this post (which is a shame) but I've used https://dochub.com/ in the past and it works really well.

Not having used docracy I'm not sure if there's feature parity but it at least seems similar (e.g. editing & signing PDFs/documents)

edit: I see that one of the (if not _the_) feature of docracy was the shared library of documents/templates. That's something Dochub doesn't have I think.
Yeah, the article addresses this question pretty clearly.

Even things that "feel" obvious to us should be studied. We shouldn't just take it for fact that an emotional support animal is a valid method of coping with depression or anxiety.

Especially when there are alternatives which have gone through and continue to be subjected to rigorous scientific study.

If an animal helps you cope with these things, yes by all means go for it. But you can't state that it is a valid alternative to things like medication or therapy if you've never tried them. This person may well be depriving him/herself of an even healthier life which, incidentally makes their pet's life healthier and happier as a result.
Why would you want a newer OpenGL? I thought the whole point of Vulkan, DX12, and Metal was to move away from such a single-threaded stack driven graphics API to something that was a much better fit for modern cards and engines.
This comment provides a different perspective:

I believe you're right. What I am against is really just pushing China towards American style democracy right now, at this moment. As one of the reasons, the danger of "elect me and we'll take Taiwan back by force" right now is not hypothetical, based on what I know about other fellow Chinese, this is a very real possibility.

We also don't want anything like the deadlocks in American government for sure.
Who says that emotional support can even be measured by science?

In other words who cares?

If you are lacking in emotional support, and then start receiving it, you don't need science to validate your experience.

You just know.

The Windows system heaps include a similar feature called PageHeap. You can enabled it for any process using Microsoft's pageheap.exe utility. It uses a lot of extra (virtual) memory and doesn't work well for applications that have their own memory sub-allocator like jemalloc or dlmalloc.

Well, in theory perhaps. In practice, a bit of stupidity can make nuclear reactors fail spectacularly. Chernobyl had operators doing stupid things. Fukushima had planners ignore centuries old warnings about tsunamis in the area.

I was a proponent of nuclear power for a long time, but I became cautious when I realized that it still involves humans making mistakes. Now I hope that the German reactors hit their shutdown dates without incident now that all incentive to maintain them properly has been removed by setting those dates in the first place.

Vulkan is also very good, and not vendor locked. Vulkan is the sole ray of hope that one day we may have a sane graphics stack that works properly across different platforms. If I'm reading the trend right I might even be able to get rid of my Windows partition during my lifetime.

Yes there is not "one" definition of capitalism, but yours (private property + freedom to trade) misses some characteristics (for instance: capital accumulation).

> Capitalism really is an evolution ("what you get when ...")

"is an evolution" is not the same as "what you get when", I agree that the current system is an evolution of the 17th century, but "what you get when" would mean this is the most likely evolution, which is not obvious.
You'll still pay for it indirectly through the cost of gas and putting miles on your car though. Which is the ideal way to "tax" usage anyways.

Ask HN: Finding a CPA for my startup
I'm running a solo startup at the seed stage, and the C Corp structure has brought so many new tax concepts that I'm still trying to get my head around: payroll taxes, franchise taxes, etc.

I tried finding a local CPA through yelp, but was disappointed with the results. Do you guys have any recommendations for a great CPA who has experience dealing with startups? Or any advice on how I might find one?
Sure, but that's not responsive.

> Now Germany spews out about same carbon as before giant investments in solar, electricity is four times the price as in US, plus they now have to buy from France cause they don't produce enough.

Well, they require a more complex motor which handles higher pressures and supercharging. The picture would be different if you would compare motors with the same price.
Only without consent from the user. Previously it was an ethically grey area to be logging IP addresses anyway. If you are preventing malicious use, then that is allowed as long as you are not using that data outside of the bounds of the user's consent.

If, however, a company is storing IP addresses to identify users without their consent and are found to be specifically targeting them without their consent, then that is a misuse of data.

You are right that companies will be paying for this for a long time and it does take effort to comply, but if that's what it takes to protect user data, increase security across the board to prevent data breaches and kill off the players that never should be in the business to begin with then I'm all for it.

Evernote: Spaces for Business
What you're describing would increase bandwidth. It's basically the plan for 5g.

However, it still won't come close to replacing wired bandwidth. There is a limit to how low you can reduce transmission power and still get blanket coverage therefore there is a limit to how close together these towers can be without interfering with each other, and a corresponding limitation on bandwidth for a given area.

You'd need to move the towers down to something close to the range of Wi-Fi to provide enough bandwidth to come close to working. And at that range you basically have all of the exact same problems of wired internet.

>you don't have right-of-way problems (presumably any company can lease EM spectrum)

You still have significant right-of-way problems because you still need to provide the wired backhaul for these towers. Unless you want to piggyback on the existing wired infrastructure--in which case you need to pass laws to force existing providers to let you use their pipes.

Wireless internet isn't a solution to the problems we face with ISPs. It might help to provide some limited competition, but the physical limitations prevent it from replacing wired internet.

From the article, the thing that jumped out at me was documenting it all. Sure, your processes may be perfectly pristine. Where's your document that shows that you considered everything? Don't forget to include development processes. And don't forget to update your documentation when your processes change.

Changing the processes may not be hard, if you're doing things close to right to begin with. Complying with the documentation requirements? That's going to be painful.

I wouldn't think this would be exceptional as a way to measure altitude.

However it is exceptional as a way to measure gravity differences arising from stuff inside of the Earth.
See https://academo.org/demos/gravity-map/ for a picture of how that varies over the Earth.

(Though you wouldn't be measuring the strength of gravitational pull directly. You would be measuring the gravitational potential. The strength of gravity is the gradient of the potential field.)

The major cost barrier is support. If you are going to sell a product for a platform, you need to be able to have your CS staff handle support tickets involving it. Officially Steam on Linux only supports Ubuntu and SteamOS, so you can just throw out problems on other distros (albeit I'm not aware of any distro not taking responsibility for Steam breakages that work on Ubuntu and they aren't that common either).

Even then, having to implement that support infrastructure is time consuming if you have never supported that platform before. It is the first game that is the hardest. That is why publishers like Paradox and 2K can just throw almost every new release on Linux nowadays since they are all made on portable engines, are going to support OSX anyway, and they already have the support infrastructure for SteamOS and Ubuntu.

Its not even really an option, either. Since the games are commercial products in many (European) countries they have to by law support them in this way.

Set-top box maker TiVo exploring options, could go private
Yeah, I was curious what people would think of that. My logic is that resource usage for end-to-end encryption scales exponentially, not linearly, and it's also a more expensive problem for a larger company to deal with (either in terms of engineering time or dealing with a breach).

I've been planning to add additional perks to the larger tiers over time though. For example, I'm now working on audit logs, and will likely limit the amount of history for the lowest plan (sort of like Slack).

On the per-user pricing, how do you think about the possibility of a company that signs up with just a few users but manages hundreds of servers through the product?
I have mixed feelings when reading these stories. I believe that a lot of competition and innovation is needed in our industry and whenever I see a service throw in the towel because of AWS, I cant help but feel that my future is threatened.

From my perspective, it's the smaller companies that pose the biggest threat to AWS/Amazon because they are able to satisfy their customer's needs far better and faster.
