For the last year I've been using old HTC phones from 2010. The HTC Wildfire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Wildfire), then more recently the HTC Desire (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTC_Desire).

If you accept that they won't do everything a modern smartphone can do, and limit how you use them to what they are good at, an old phone can be great.

They take a bit of work to set up right. You need to find and download old APKs for the applications you want to use. All the one-click rooting tools have vanished from the internet (but I've been able to get root in adb using psneuter).

Google Maps works great. Moon Reader is awesome for ebooks. SMS is good enough for messaging people (you need to tell your friends that you can't read emoji's). Google Authenticator looks even better. Applications of that era often had an offline mode so it doesn't matter much if their APIs are no longer compatible. MessagEase make an amazing keyboard and the latest version still supports Froyo. You can do CalDAV and CardDav with a little help.

The default browser won't load a lot of modern sites because either it can't render the JS or it doesn't support the cypher that it's encrypted with. I keep JS disabled, and I don't care if I can't visit some websites.

I found that the Wildfire's screen's white turned blue after they were heavily dropped. I broke three or four that way but it didn't matter much because I could always get replacements for around AU$20. The Desire seems to have a more sturdy screen but they have more circuit boards inside and I've had a harder time finding reliable phones. I buy them for about AU$30 so, still it's affordable to take a chance and buy them up until you can make a complete phone.

If you're thinking about going back to a dumb phone, I think that an old smartphone running Froyo has most of the advantages of the dumb phone with none of the disadvantages of a smartphone (Gingerbread is probably good too but I haven't used it since it was current).
You're absolutely correct. In this iteration, collaboration is achieved asynchronously. Share a file, receiver can edit, receiver can share back, etc.

Because real-time collaboration is not trivial, as you mentioned, we're making sure we do it right.

Ask HN: Solo founder and MVP. New co-founder equity split?
I am a solo founder looking to bring on a co-founder. My original idea came to me over a year ago and I've worked on it evening and weekends. Four months ago, I left my job to work on my startup full-time.

I'm in my early 30's and my background is in investments and software. After college, I was a software engineer for two years before moving into asset management in a front office role. My product is built on the domain knowledge I gain in this area. It's B2B SaaS with target ~$15k-$100k p.a. revenue per customer. I've finished my MVP and am about to go full tilt into sales mode.

I would love to bring on someone to do sales. I'm in early stage discussions with a potential co-founder who is a friend and someone
I have worked with. He's in his late 20's and recently completed an MBA at a top school. His background is in business strategy and analytics (sales focused). He hesitates when it comes to sales because he does not see himself as a sales person. Having said that I think he could do it and his role would evolve over time away from direct sales into more of a management role.

I feel like he would be a good fit because we get on well, he's smart and has decent experience. He is interested in startups and told me he wants to jump in with both feet. He doesn't want to make a rash decision so is holding back a bit.

His initial thoughts are he would work one day a week + weekends (his work situation is flexible) and eventually go full-time. I would love to have him full-time. He has a one month notice period on his contract.

Equity vesting would start once he is full-time over a 4 year period.

If he starts full-time in one-month, how much equity could I give him?

If he continues to keep his full-time job and goes full-time with me in X months, how could I think about the equity split?
This is incredibly well made!
The word ’predict’ gets used a lot and is sufficiently charged that it causes much Minority Report-style angst and gnashing of teeth, but really a better term would be ’uncover’. The whole investigative process is about uncovering concealed connections between people and events, so this is just a new technique. It isn’t inherently Orwellian either: there’s still a wide chasm of human investigators, prosecutors, judges, and juries between any kind of ’positive’ and actual consequences.
Grid doesn't have great support on mobile yet.

I'm sure you want to stick with it, and aren't really interested in something else, but Grid only started getting solid support across all the main mobile browsers in January. Lots of mobile devices are stuck on older versions, because of vendors not releasing updates.

So like a Visa/Mastercard for Bitcoin? Probably not much to gain from that, I doubt it'll be more efficient than established networks (unless you want to deal in transactions that aren't allowed on those networks).
> “An end to all apologetics!” cried the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and for once, I agree with him. There was no reason, in his opinion, to harmonize faith and science.

On the contrary, I think we must rediscover the relationship between metaphysical philosophy and observation-based reasoning. For whatever reason the current culture pulls communities apart and forces hate and conflict where, in my opinion, fighting over the tension between "science" and "religion" is unneeded and unhealthy.

The fact of the matter is that each religion is based on a certain set of metaphysical axioms. Scientific reasoning is based on a particular subset of those axioms. To hate, confuse, and fight over the implications of that is such a waste.

> Spaces in filenames create troubles with almost every command line tool

Then that's a shortcoming which should be addressed with the tools, because humans everywhere use spaces in filenames.

For every command-line tool I make (Windows & Linux), I ensure it handles such trivial use-cases. I can't see why such a simple task is seemingly impossible to get done in GNU coreutils.
A very broad mix. I think it's reinforcement. A few songs slipped on their by some connection, which is fine. Because I listen to Discover weekly, it'll then register that I listen to songs of that genre and add more of those.

It appears to me that they include Discover weekly consumption in determining preferences. Any personalised Spotify playlist should be excluded to avoid this kind of reinforcement.

When I went to Uni a common pairing was "physics and philosophy". That was my chosen degree subject when I was in high school. I wanted to do particle physics.

In the end I loved (pure) maths more than philosophy so graduated with Theoretical Physics and Mathematics. There were probably a quarter of the physics students doing the Philosophy of Science module (the only things I remember covering were Aethers, Xeno's Paradox, maybe also the Realism of QM Interpretations [it was a couple of decades ago]).
I suspect you are right, especially with the nature of our work.

If I employ a brick layer I can easily judge the quality and rate of their work, it's easy to compare with the guy I hired last week.

Contrast that to programming where there is no physical artefact, it's not like we can measure lines of code or numbers of files and derive some value, in most cases less lines of code is better.

People know this so instead of doing good work they start to play games to get ahead.

That's not to say a good leader can't fight against it but to think it's not there is naive.
I made one for myself, many years ago. They are easy to write.

I'm also using Zoho, since it was the only provider I could find that let me use my own domain for free. It's been working great so far.

Up until fairly recently, I was using Pawnmail (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8548307), but it became very unreliable. Half of my sent mail bounced, and then it just stopped working altogether.

I use Thunderbird as a client.

Good suggestion! We have Twitter log-in planned, so we'll have to rework the design anyway.

Welcome to BuyMeACoffee!
The blockchain gives us some decentralized discoverability. The new/hot/trending listings come directly from the blockchain, and cannot be altered by us. It follows the reddit ranking algorithm.

But yes I agree. Us controlling related videos and the search engine, is basically the same as YouTube. If we want to make a video popular, we can, and that's bad.

Sadly decentralised search for DTube would be a very interesting project, but not something we are willing to spend months of developer time on. If we ever see a good enough decentralised solution for search, we will adopt it, even if it reduces our quality a little.
I've been trying out Protonmail which I'm happy with, but in practice I'm still using Gmail.

I'm reluctant to move away from my @gmail address, and inform all my contacts to use the new one. Besides that, I notice that orally communicating [anything]@gmail.com is much easier than any other domain. I wish I could take my gmail address to another service.
I think just knowing you can fire a client makes a huge difference, it alters the relationship and it's probably better for both parties.

It's similar to having FU money as an employee but on steroids.

a. I meant bitcoin transaction sizing. Bitcoin fees are driven by transaction sizes and my understanding (edited) is for a LN channel to be opened and closed, the transaction needs to committed to the blockchain. What are the expected size of these transactions? And how does Segwit work for these transactions?

b. Thanks for the answer. (Edited): So, it seems the current argument there will be too much competition for nodes hence people will automatically set low or no fees.

c. This is unclear to me. Normally, when I am paying for stuff in bitcoin sellers tend to attach an estimated fee for the transaction. Lets take an example, I need to pay 0.1 BTC they will charge 0.101 BTC. The 0.001 BTC is the transaction fee.

With LN nodes charging fees on top of it, businesses now will have two fees to account for?

Additionally, my understanding now is that there are three fees now:

a. Channel Opening fees to miners

b. Node fees which might be zero

c. Channel Closing fees to miners
I have run my own mailserver for not quite 20 years. My preferred mail client is mutt, but I use K9 on Android several times a day and I set up rainloop, a web mail client.

When people ask me for advice and they are not in a position to run their own mail server, I generally recommend Fastmail.
Good question. The primary difference is that your file data is encrypted client-side before it ever reaches the storage provider of your choice. And that data can only be decrypted client-side in the app.

You can, of course, PGP (as one example) encrypt your files yourself and store them on a local Dropbox folder that syncs. But, Graphite is encrypted by default without any additional work on the user's end.

The other main difference is that you can share your files with anyone that has a Blockstack ID regardless of what storage method they use. You might use Dropbox while another user uses Azure, and neither user would know the difference, and the app will work seamlessly.

this is only relevant for core utilities though. It does not mean anything for my mail client to work "together" with my music production application. Apps in appstores do not work "together" yet they are wildly successful.

I've used it for custom domain mailboxes as well. It's ok, has 2FA as well.
The features page [0] has as much content about 'contacts' as it does docs or spreadsheets.

Personally for me the most important thing is that it can do all that I use Word/Excel for (I know this doesn't have to be the full feature set) - because without that I couldn't use it.

So I would put the Docs / Spreadsheets sections at the top with screenshots of a reasonably complex document (contents/images/tables/sections) then a reasonably complicated spreadsheet.

Only then after that would I start talking about contacts.

There's a claim that it contains 'All the features you've come to expect from Google and Microsoft'. This could do with a comparison table saying exactly which features / functions are available across Word/G Docs/Graphite and across Excel/G Sheets/Graphite.

Have you actually tried to do this, though?

User friendly ways to handle account deletion
Gmail's labeling system is hard to beat. In particular, any given email can be in several "folders" (a.k.a. labels) at the same time.

All other services I have tried out so far do not replicate this approach so that an email can only be in one folder at a time. Of course, you can copy an email into several folders but then they are physically different emails on the mail server.

Despite this, I switched to the German provider www.mailbox.org as they do not index or process your emails in any other way. And in Germany, the authorities still have a hard time getting access behind the scenes.
Further, mailbox.org allows the creation of mail aliases and also temporary addresses.
The service is 3 € per month which is totally acceptable.

I see mailbox.org as a main competitor of Protonmail and Posteo.

EDIT: additionally, I am using my own domains that are redirected to my mailbox.org account.
And giving officers the ability to claim anyone fits within that tiny subset of the population based on spurious correlations is institutional racism.

Protect the innocent, or sacrifice them for the good of catching some baddies?

Graylog is exactly what I was reaching to go with (I've had a similar experience and was blown away and delighted by how easy it was to use) with but it's a bit heavy weight -- they (supiciously) don't have min requirements anywhere, the only scrap i could find was on the graylog open stack docs where they suggest you have 4GB of RAM free.

The machine I'm running on isn't small, I have the memory, but it just feels like a slipperly slope.

Also, Graylog = Java + Mongo + ES and I'm almost philosophically opposed to using Mongo for personal reasons (this is a personal project so I can afford to have some self-defeating bias).
