I wish I had a good answer for you but I don't. There are just too many unkowns, but I'll do my best to lay out what I consider "fair" and some of the unknowns that I think play into the calculations:

1. Longevity - will people buy into the concept and the token or whatever? will the project even be completed? For established projects with many participating people / developers / companies - This multiplier might only be 2,3 or 5x... i.e. Ethereum has many owners of eth, miners, pools and technologies that rely on it like token coins, etc... whereas mySuperUnknownCoinThatDoesntEvenExistYet might not even have a whitepaper, in fact it might only exist on the back-of-a-napkin or the creator/inventors own mind... multipliers up to 1000x come to mind.

2. Value - What's the value proposition and why is that valuable? Do/would people even agree that it's valuable and want it? Can people exchange real currency for it? Is there a way to cash out? - consider a well known crypto like bitcoin or ether where so many people have assigned value to it, that other companies have sprung up to participate in the idea, and even financial institutions are creating products around it... then observe that even in that case there's still so much volatility in its perceived value you couldn't be sure that getting paid 10k worth of tokens today would be worth 10k next year/month/or week. again multipliers from 2x to 2000x seem reasonable... ( possible solutions/mitigations? payments in "credits of value" or something maybe where you'd credit 10k of value to a person, and someday if the project doesn't go to hell, they can cash-out 10k worth of whatever. )

3. Early vs late participation - this goes back to how well the thing is established and how much work is left to be done. Just like any other startup if I'm employee #2 vs. employee #200 there's a big difference in the amount of upside I should be looking at. ( anything goes here for multipliers - this is more of a negotiation point, but maybe set something up for the 1st 1-5 employees to get 500-1000x upside? 6-20 100-200x ? who knows )

Anyway you'd have to take 1,2, and 3 into consideration, add up all the multipliers then lets say you were going to pay someone like me 100k of value as your 1st coding hire ( let's say employee #2 or technical co-founder) for a person/year of work...if I worked for you for 10 years with no raises I could expect to get paid 1 million. ( realize I can take part of that cash and invest it, making perhaps at least 10% a year )
Now if you wanted to pay me like 10k in cash, and 90k in "credit" or "stock options" or equity-whatever... that 90k of value today can't be invested, and might be worth ZERO in 10 years, so I think it should have something like a potential upside of 100x-1000x or 9million-90million in 10 years on a successful exit... which could be getting bought or even going public. which is exactly like going to las vegas and "investing" in the roulette wheel of startups... you put one dollar on a number and spin... with any luck you win 36x your bet :) but mostly you just waste time and money...
I’m surprised no one has mentioned uniregistry. Their interface is great and they offer both DNS and private registration for free.
I use Namecheap to register my domains and Google Cloud Platform to host my DNS.
I think literally the only more expensive option you could’ve suggested is Akamai.
joker.com - it is a Swiss company, and presumably would be harder to have my domains taken away than if it were a US company (not that I am expecting any such thing! but...). No tricks on pricing, the UI is decent but could be better organized, offer easy registration of just about any TLD, and they offer 2FA.
While I’ve never used any of these services (I just use cash, or a bank transfer if someone pays for hotel rooms or something), surely most use-cases are when out and about, not when in the living room with your talking speaker thing?
you still have session cookies, because AFAIK netflix doesn’t log out all your devices when you reset your password (though i think there’s an option for that?) so you can still set the password and email back if you have the session cookie maybe?
How do you split a check at a restaurant with a group?
Is Julian Assange safe in Austrilia, is Edward Snowden safe in the US? Why would they flee to other countries? Those Chinese criminals thought the same way, they flee to the US.
Cloudflare question: when would they start to get mad at you using potentially PBs of bandwidth per month on a free plan?
That was my conclusion as well. I didn't get fancy about setting cronjobs. I just run a script every now and then, and it is enough for my case.

I'm still looking for a good player that would behave somewhat like Youtube Kids (auto play, fullscreen, no volume/brightness controls). All players I've tried have controls that kids don't understand and, accidentally or intentionally, end up ruining everything.
Right, and uranium itself is toxic aside from its radioactivity. That's my whole point.

Google domains. Very simple to use and good integration with blogger.
AI should definitely assist! I think that folks just don't want AI to be the final say in anything since it seems to be just as biased as its human counterparts.

The issue with AI is it's a lot harder to question the black box than it is to question a human operator. Accountability will be especially important as AIs come into contact with more and more of our lives.

Google et al. appear to have systems in place where AI makes the final say on your behavior, but then you can find a human reviewer if you really beg / you're important enough. I don't think that's sustainable from a social perspective
Please read the thread, I was addressing the other point that was made. Which is that a restaurant worker is a slave just like a sex worker.
>how does a state go about providing services to its citizen if the state cannot identify citizens as its own and as unique entities.

A man comes to you and ask you for money. He says that he is hungry. In this case, you have two options.

1. You can give him the money. But you risk being scammed, because you cannot actually check that the man is actually hungry. If you give them money, there is no way to make sure that they did not buy liquor instead of food. This is what Aadhar is supposed to solve.

2. You can offer to buy him food (not a parcel or takeaway). In this case, there is no risk of being scammed.

I think governments should try to do 2, instead of strapping on things like Aadhar in the name of doing 1, as it has a lot of chance of misuse and is vastly less reliable than 2..

As a solid implementation, instead of providing rations for rice and fuel, to prepare food, what if governments can open hotels, where one can have a solid, healthy meal for real cheap, For any one and every one who bothers to show up?
Does anyone know if the harnesses were attached to the mount points inside the helicopter using spring clip carabiners? IMO that would have been the 'go to' point to release themselves from the helicopter, if the harness didn't have a quick release clip on the body.

Carabiner attachments inside the cabin would hopefully also made it easier for passengers and crew to release each other's harnesses if someone was incapacitated or panicking?

Note: I've watched offshore rig crew friends of mine going through 'ditching' training in the pool simulator, and can attest that keeping calm and methodical under the circumstances can be extremely difficult, even under controlled conditions.
This neglects FRAND - without FRAND, a patent is precisely the right to exclude, and you can do that in just about any way you wish, including charging royalties according to astrological principles.
This is fully generalizable to all kinds of software nowadays.

The problem with everyone getting into "[SOFTWARE PRODUCT]" is that everyone wants to [DO THIS SOFTWARE THING] in a different way and you need a dozen different accounts. And it seems like everyone wants to help you [DO THIS SOFTWARE THING] these days.

It’s like Beta vs VHS, with 3-20 incompatible competitors, over and over and over for eternity.
Namesilo for the following reasons: (1) pricing does not change (goes lower once you hit 50+); (2) free privacy and (3) free 100 email forwarding per domain. Have not tested their DNS yet.

For hosting, you guys really need to get on DigitalOcean instead of doing the shared hosting. For $5/mo, you can put 10,000 domains/websites there with Letsencrypt (free SSL) instead of paying $5/mo/domain
Surprised that there has only been a couple of mentions of Namesilo. Cheap, straightforward/easy interface, but still plenty of options. Don't think there is any cheaper reputable registrar is there?
This kind of technology, used by the government without serious restrictions, it's pretty bad and the article describes by itself, situations where it was "not exactly used" to solve crimes, but for monitoring data traffic of cellphones used by people engaged in protests.

However, what scares me the most, is the possibility of such technology falling in the hands of those who are playing dirty 100% of the time, against the society (criminals, mafia, gangs, drug lords, kidnappers, terrorists, etc.).
I liked the miniseries way more.
Nathan Myhrvold has a patent for a personalized food manufacturing system
+2 for namecheap. After an unbelievably horrid experience with 1and1 I switched over to NC and their support has been simply a breath of fresh air. Fast support, knowledgeable reps, everything (usually) works, at a good price.

Pry NC out of my cold dead hands...
Specialisation improves efficiency. Sure, you could eliminate that full-time cleaner's job (probably leaving them unemployed) and replace their labour with that of a rotation of high-paid software engineers. Now your company is paying $100k+ a year to keep their toilets clean.
Regardless of with whom, I recommend not using the same service you host with or use for development. Don't place yourself in the position to be held hostage -- whether deliberately or through neglect.

Some services allow you to designate another account as an "administrator" without giving up your control over the domain's ownership.

That said, don't forget to renew your registration! You are going to want to whitelist messages from whomever you register with.

This may vary with a more substantial presence and formalized agreements beyond random user account boilerplate.
>executioners only entered the city to perform tasks relating to their office. Those entailed the duties, of course, of torturing or killing the condemned, but they also included a variety of basses oeuvres with peculiar perks, such as the exclusive right to clean cesspools (and any valuables contained therein), the right to claim stray animals

reminded - some [or is it everybody's job duty?] animal control employees do put to death all those cats and dogs. When i see an animal control it causes very mixed feelings as i hope that i'm looking at a good person who does his/her best and/or doesn't know better while s/he really may be just a typical executioner and even a sadist enjoying the job and power over his/her victims.
Route 53, Amazon. I like the UI, fully featured, better than godaddy, I trust it's transferrable if clients part ways from my services.
> Heck, R isn't really that accessible to most programmers either.

R is objectively a bad programming language. However, it is by no means inaccessible. I have no statistics background whatsoever, and I managed to learn enough R to be dangerous in a mere week. Other than the 1-based indexing and the utterly disgusting dynamic dispatch mechanism (you could simply not to use the latter), R is surprisingly pleasant to use. What I enjoyed the most is that vectors and matrices are first-class values, not objects that are referred to through pointers. It's probably copy-on-write under the hood, but I don't need to care. Hallelujah!
It's not uncommon for children to live with formerly abusive parents. Drugs, alcoholism. The system is supposed to help parents be able to reunite.

(Sexual abuse is almost always another story, though.)
No, the way they did it the tokens are granted to the app makers on behalf of the users. And each company was limited to a certain number of tokens based on how many users they had at the time the policy came out.

This means that apps that had already been out and had a ton of users like Tweetbot it hasn’t been as much of an issue, but anyone wanting to start a new Twitter app today is basically doomed to a low ceiling of users.
Oh my god. This is quite a hurried at conclusion that the "dots-do-not-matter" is a misfeature of Gmail. This feature has prevented so many instances of spam that I cannot count them. Of course, I love the "+spam@gmail.com" feature as well, but I can't use that as often because most email field validations prevent the "+" character in email addresses.
If you try it can be extremely cheap. For example, hitchhiking is free. Depends on the country of course in regards to safety. If you stay in youth hostels it's significantly cheaper than hotels, and you meet more people, etc.
I think that's only certain domain suffixes?

.com domains seem to be obfuscated okay these days...

> Your stock options will never be fully vested.

You're still making money off of the vested portion of the options if you exercise them.

You seem to be claiming you're forced to stay since you aren't 100% vested. This sounds more like golden handcuffs than crucifixion to your desk.

Apparently your problem is Amazon stock keeps going up, so you're loathe to leave. Leaving my last job was easy since the stock options were underwater :-) glub glub. Your problem is one I would have liked to have.
The name part, per the standard, is case sensitive. However, some organizations I get email from canonicalize it to all caps - and one even removes the dots(!) and all-cap it, which for my gmail I have a filter that sends all non-dotted email to spam, since 90% of my spam is non-dotted. Since that particular email was important and I'd just happened to notice it in spam, I checked the capitalization change and called them and even managed to get through to speak with their email manager. He absolutely insisted I was wrong about it mattering and said they wouldn't change it.

4. It's almost like they don't do anything?

(I've taken so many pricey antidepressants, and feel duped. I sometimes think drug companies pulled the ultimate scam. Produce a happy pill that barely gets by the FDA? A pill that really doesn't do anything besides side effects of course?)
Disagree with the first two.

1. Netflix shouldn't have to care about the internal implementation of Gmail addresses. It's perfectly fine to treat ab@service.com and a.b@service.com as separate accounts.

2. If you attempt to sign up for Netflix with an email address which already exists in their system and they tell you that, it isn't a security or privacy breach. There is absolutely no other way to handle the situation.

Agree with the third one though. A "click here to activate" email absolutely needs to be standard in every sign-up flow.
Well, that, plus whatever the conversion time would be.
Dynadot is awesome, they also have free WHOIS privacy nowadays.
Facebook messenger had ephemeral message feature for execs only
I've seen you mention those tools a couple times. I'm familiar with ffmpeg. Does convert also cover the MS Office file formats, as this tool purports to?
Furnish Quickly startup - 21st century moving
It's cheesy, has more of a B-movie feel to it - but I get the impression that the budget was a fraction of Kubrick's.

I still enjoyed it though, and rewatch it occasionally.
Maddening? No, it's glorious.

A simple film, a dumb film, a useless film is one that wraps everything up in a tidy little bow with a neat little moral at the end. A smart film, an impactful film is one that raises questions without simple answers. A film that makes you dwell on those questions, a film that makes you think about and come up with answers to those questions yourself. That's a life altering film. That's a film that sticks with you for life. That's a film that colors your whole perception of life and the Universe.

And that's what 2001 is. It's not a morsel to consume, be done with, and move on from. It's a piece of sand, an irritant, that will stick with you forever and will grow (as a pearl does) as you think about it and delve the depths of the questions it raises. That, in my opinion, is the highest form of art.
I did the same with Lotus Freelance! And later qbasic...
As a proficient R user, though, you probably agree that it makes a certain sense when you get into a rhythm.

I think it surprisingly makes a lot of sense to social scientists, in spite of seeming backwards to computer scientists. I remember being in school and using STATA, and just plugging in numbers to get through exercises too quickly to bother understanding what the labs were about.

R seems to make you stop to realize what you are doing at the right moments, then uses a lot of magic to abstract away almost everything else.
Many years ago I remember taking a ride on a custom-designed vehicle (not a flying one --- don't recall exactly, it might've been a ground/water tour), and distinctly remember that they used regular automotive seatbelts --- there was a GM logo visible on them. Something like that would've been far easier to release in an emergency, whereas in this case it seems they used locking carabiners that take a considerable amount of time and fine motor skill to manipulate.
Then someone comes in and says “we need [software thing] as a protocol like email” and then someone invents [software thing] as a protocol and now everyone on HN wonders why no one uses [software thing] as a protocol despite its obvious superiority.
'Elon Musk is not the future'
The problem is in just how much boundary there tends to be, since many TypeScript programs are heavily mixed with ordinary JS. I would agree with you for programs that exclusively use TS for application code.
> I'd ask you to cite some examples of why Android is a "low bar to clear", but I doubt I'd get back anything of substance.

Manufacturers can do mostly what they want without any downsides so at the end you just end up with ROMs similar in quality to WinXP themes. The Android APIs themselves are just layer and layer of hacks and inconsistencies on top of each other which is the main reason why most of the Android apps look so ugly in the first place.
Ask HN: How to cure depression?
I believe I am mildly depressed. I don't feel the energy or enthusiasm about anything. I do all daily activities fine but it just feels like rut.

I live in Seattle metro area and lack of sunlight is possible reason. It's usually cold outside to do any exercise or the persistent rain bothers me so much.

I tried getting a job in the bay area but failed interviews with 3 companies.

Is it possible to cure without medications? I don't want to go to psychiatrist and get permanent medical record.

Any tips?
Not spring clip, the NTSB report says they were the screw type. Even so, the article states that it would have been difficult for a passenger to reach their own clip, and even if they had, would be difficult to undo it. They even provided "seatbelt cutters" to passengers to deal with this situation which also didn't work (according to the article).

So many failures happening here.
With the price of even the cheapest housing and the price of medical care going to extreme highs in America, increasingly Americans can no longer afford to live in America.

That is an astounding situation, and the people and their politicians are still hiding from that truth.

We are living in a split society where some people are grandfathered into the economy and others may never get a chance to enter it. I worry that we are headed for a catastrophic collapse as the grandfathered generations die off and there is no one who can take there place.
Venmo has a big lead.

But Square's Cash App has been gaining ground and is now more popular in some southern states. The ability to get a debit card hugely increases the value to the under-banked. It also makes generating revenue much easier for Square.

Right now, Cash app has been #1 in iTunes finance section for a few months and is consistently ahead in Google play's free app ranking.
Good ol' days :D

Request: Advice on Effective Data Poisoning
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, screw type carabiners would have been infinitely harder to try and release quickly. I feel for those poor unfortunate passengers.
Ha! I too am being charged for Route 53 for what, I have no idea. Very confusing service.
Spammers already know the dot rules. Its fairly easy to identify a Domain Group (ymail/yahoo) or (google/gmail/somewhere.edu) and then strip and reapply certain rules based on what that Mail Provider allows.
Same with Siri and Apple Pay.

Whole Foods is one company with a fair amount of older people. Experience seems to have some value there. Our biggest problem currently is finding people who actually have real experience doing the things we need to do. Recruiters provide plenty of resumes, but there isn’t any real meat there.

Not all of them actually pan out. Similar story for Etsy competition. (Amazon launched "handmade" in 2015 and kinda maybe relaunched last year. It might have more success this time).

Amazon might have a better time trying to buy PayPal (for venmo) or Square (for Cash App and to compete in the field they already gave up on). It would be amusing if this announcement was calculated to hit their stock price for a cheaper acquisition. That's probably way too cheeky, but for a lot of markets, Amazon has had more success acquiring than building their own.
I video if it in action would be really helpful. Just reading the landing page its hard to know how im supposed to use it. "Just click and explore" isnt very convincing.
Also potassium. Very few hit the RDA and most are shocked how high it is.
> (I don’t think this compressed state can be examined, but compression algorithms are seriously under appreciated)

I once attended a lecture at a physics conference by a guy who basically used gzip to do sequence alignment (using compressibility as a way to measure Kolmogorov complexity). Might be interesting to you. The title was: Blasting and Zipping: Sequence Alignment and Mutual Information
A lot of lobbying money is spent by the likes of Intel, Apple, Microsoft, etc to create that impression abroad, just like it is here.

As an Easter egg in a program I once wrote I added a ‘silly menu’ that programmatically took a string of words, split by space, and generated an array of menu items each parented to the previous word’s. Then in the program code I had it generate the menu cascade from what was basically a paragraph of text. You would mouse through a paragraph worth of pop up menus zigzagging back and forth across the screen to finally get to the last one, which simply opened a message box with “Congratulations! You are now a certified mouseketeer.” Kinda lame but this post reminded me of it.
