Even if it's not a co-founder, you need to surround yourself with like-minded people. I started my business at 23 and all my friends had corporate jobs. Social isolation sucks when you're no longer part of the tribe because you decided to go out and do your own thing.

First thing I realized was that I really had no idea what I was doing- so I found mentors by going to conferences related to my work. It was amazing, meeting hundreds of people like me, passionate about building their busineses. I also found people who were going through the same thing in startup networks, mine was an incubator I graduated from.

Find people who do what you do, who are better than you, inspire you, and who will lift you up! It is night and day when you have a support network as an entrepreneur.
"I think the reason for modest hardware support"

Also they only had 250 or so employees. So not a lot of staff to track down hardware compatibility issues, and not a lot of motivation from vendors to help.

That said, they did pretty well.
It's worth it to expand the conversation. Drugs aren't incredible, and really, seriously wouldn't be worth the effort even if they were 100% legal.

And how many people get sucked into the party kid bullshit, because they want to fit in and impress people. AKA: doing drugs to seem edgy.

> I've never really understood liberal opposition to the possession of firearms in the United States, given the country's founding principles.

You are making an unjustified leap in assuming that "liberals" are in opposition to owning firearms.

Most liberals have no real problem with people owning guns. You don't hear the vast majority of people clamoring to ban hunting rifles or shotguns.

What most people (liberal and conservative) want are sensible regulations to prevent the genuinely mentally ill or disturbed from getting guns and ammo.

The problem is that the NRA plays outrage politics in order generate funding for itself and this short circuits any useful discussion. Although, it is looking like the NRA has just been functioning as a Russian stooge for quite a while now.

As for opposing a coup? That's gonna be tough. The US is BIG. No amount of firearms in Arizona is going to help opposition in Washington DC to fight off a coup.
> If an app wants to access the user's camera, contacts, etc, it needs to come up with a good excuse for why or risk the user just tapping "deny".

This isn't how many users use apps. For them any of these prompts are getting in the way of using the app, so they tap the button that would let them use the app quicker, without reading what the message said.

I think these extensions set the standard playbackRate property on the HTML5 video element: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/HTMLMediaEl...

Try setting the property manually using the JavaScript console and see if you get pitch correction. If not, maybe make sure you're on the latest version of Firefox?
Sounds good to me but that would be only needed if you’re sending personal data (like usernames) to Google Analytics, right? If you’re anonymising IP and have no personal data in your URLs, there is no need for consent for GA tracking I think.
The landing page seems to be a little confused about what it's advertising. To me this should either be targeting people who need a CMS or people who want to use Golang.

If I'm just a guy who needs a CMS, then I really want to know what this offers as a CMS vs any other solution. I don't think it would really matter to me whether this was written in Golang or PHP or Python since I'd want to use the system to manage my content, not be writing code for it.

The tagline "build websites with Go" is even a bit scary because it makes it sound like rather than being a CMS, this is something where I need to know how to program in order to use it.

But everything else on the page is very dev-oriented... but in that case, as a dev, I'd really rather have the install, capabilities, requirements, etc. up front in a clean table rather than the CMS GUI demo.

Maybe I'm alone in feeling this way, though. :)

...that said though, I actually do want to say that personally I'm always very conscious of what the tradeoff is.. I like to keep my files in a flexible format that's future proof and to be able to move it around and manipulate them in a fast way. The risk with something like Cryptomator, despite it looking pretty neat and being open source etc, that if people decide to not maintain it anymore then my files are stuck in an encrypted format that one would have to develop code (or use an old OS with an old version of Cryptomator) to access them.. so I'd prefer leaving my files in Dropbox (who encrypts my files on their/our side) and on full-disk encrypted hard drives instead. But each to their own of course!
The ability to have the one app running which contains multiple file system views that I can arrange internally is awesome. It can certainly help with the cognitive overload that sometimes is my alt tab navigation.

This is called a multiple-document interface, and it's been Microsoft's preferred method of nesting documents/subwindows within a single application window for a long time — maybe less so with Windows 10 and the "flat" styling. Lack of it was often trotted out as a reason people felt uncomfortable using Linux (and sometimes MacOS) versions of office suites or applications like GIMP (compared to Photoshop, which traditionally used MDI on Windows).

Yes can we please get rid of tipping and pay waiters and staff what they should be earning? Build the price into the menu and let the market decide the price. Too expensive? You will lose customers. Too cheap? You will have lines out the door and you know you can increase prices.

The rest of the world does not tip (Europe & Asia). Only in North America is this awkward tipping practice still a thing.
May the expectation of tips disappear next..

Whilst there's no way I'd ever subscribe to current mentality of tipping 10% when unhappy and 15-20% when happy I'm not sure I'd want to remove tipping entirely. It should be exceptional times when one tips, i.e. really got above and beyond - not just doing their job.
Those links only became apparent after centuries of development in total isolation. Now that we know they are there, we involve them in teaching because they change how we see things.

> the benefits of tracking for the internet

I do not see any.

> They pay higher PPMs and PPCs.

As a user, I do not care.

> Publishers get higher PPMs and PPCs.

Don't care either.

> Users get more relevant and safer ads

Sorry but that's outright bullshit. In practice, targeted ads feel absolutely worse (at least for me), as an example I remember buying an umbrella a year ago on Amazon... guess what do I still get recommended to me on there? F'ing umbrellas... I know I'm in the UK but come on, one is enough.

> Remember the shady banner ads of the late 90's and 2000's?

I still see that garbage all over the place, including from supposedly "reputable" ad providers with apparently top-notch tracking like Google. Fake antivirus software or tech support scams are still common on there.

> Users get personalized content from publishers. This has a few negatives but I would argue that it greatly improves user experience.

That's my other problem with tracking-based ads, as it creates an echo chamber. I'd much prefer getting "irrelevant" ads as it makes me discover products I would've never otherwise thought about. I prefer print & real-world billboard ads for this reason as they're generic and expose me to stuff I wouldn't see otherwise.
You're going to have a ball. Would definitely recommend Germany, once you're there you'll come across plenty of opportunities for sponsorship to other countries of your choosing - just get over there on the Freelance visa to begin with. Or alternatively go to the UK first for a 2 year visa, and find a country that's happy with remote work.

Your biggest hurdle will be your first job in the EU. So make sure your first visa isn't tied to your job, because you'll likely want to change it in the short-term. After that - it's smooth sailing.
Was iOS 7 created in Microsoft Word?
The new regulations would be that there is no reporting required if the modifications could have occurred naturally--but who is responsible for that determination?
Only for m68k NeXTSTEP software. And I don't think anything ever ran code on the NextDimension's i860, which was strictly running Postscript for the color monitor.

If you mean the 56001 DSP, perhaps that could be emulated too.
Exactly. A bit surprising that such a rudimentary lib reaches HN frontpage...

Certainly, for Canadians, going to France is very straightforward option.

You only need insurance and proof of finance means to support yourself and/or leave (return home); you can stay 12 months and extend to 24, possible 36 if you're studying too.

I've led masterminds with fellow business owners where we virtually met every two weeks and discusssed whether we met our two week goals. It was great for me because I would freak out and go, oh shit, I can't go to this meeting with nothing to show and sometimes I would hustle in the last couple of days to get shit done.

What I saw a lot of people including myself struggle with though is how to set reasonable goals and stay focused. I saw a lot of people switch from project to project when they had a setback or due to shiny object syndrome. So I think accountability is also great for helping you focus and recognize when you're not staying on task.

Something that has helped me a lot is focusing on 3 projects at a time MAX in differing priorities and not starting anything new until I compete projects and make space. It's given me a mindset change of "will I be able to do this" to "I can't do anything until I get this done so let's get this shit out of the way."
In most cases product should help user to do what they want quicker and let them go. E.g. if I come to Facebook, I want to get my cat pictures fix and GTFO. Yet it tries to lure me into spending as much time as possible :/
Where are these people, in Ripley's Believe It or Not?
It depends very much on where you are in your career. If you're at the stage where you feel confident that you can maintain a living, then of course it's 'worth the trouble'. I don't know Rust, and don't imagine it's something I'll ever use professionally, but it's definitely on my (too long, and increasing rather than diminishing) list of things to learn.

If you're not yet 'secure' (no-one ever really is, but you know what I mean), then, you'd probably be better off learning something more immediately bankable, and coming back to Rust later.

Though there's no rule. An early-stage developer might have a passion/aptitude for Rust, and the resources to work hard learning it, contributing to open-source, pitching themselves at companies they've researched and like the look of, etc.
Im just thinking of ways to patch this in to THREE.Matrix4 :) Do you think that would speed things up significantly? Like I have large many-bones skeletons that can take time to animate.
Tipping still happens in Europe and SE Asia it's just not silly like North America. In the UK we'd leave a few pounds typically, let's say table bill was 47gbp, you have be a shameless mingebag to collect the 3gbp change if you were happy with the meal and service. But we don't subscribe to the non sense of 10% tip if unhappy, 15-20% if happy, if crap you don't leave a tip or pay service charge.
You can probably run it through Wine. I do that with Total Commander, which is another nice file manager.

I really think technology like this is energy misapplied or wasted. It's overly zoomed in on individual plant's performance, where actually addressing human created problems in ecosystems and the environment on a whole seems much more important. It's like trying to harden the security on your house while living in a dangerous neighborhood instead of just moving somewhere else.
This seems like it fits the narrative. Still, WTF? A quick google tells me that PostgreSQL supports SSL cert-based authN. The prod environment (and possibly an Ops host) should be the only ones with the right certs to connect to the prod DB.
Did you even read the link? It's about how smoked food is carcinogenic, and that a specific new technique (that isn't widely used yet) can reduce that problem.
Counter-anecdote: for the past ~5 years, I've been taking Amtrak (usually Northeast Regional) between NYC and Boston every couple of months. Trains leaving Boston South Station almost always leave exactly on time. On the other hand, the odds of an on-time departure from NY Penn Station have been maybe 20%. Of the 80% of trains that leave late, the vast majority do not make up the delay over the course of the trip, and therefore arrive late in Boston.

The problem is the text "Don't remove the card" contains the phrase "remove the card". I wish they just used a positive statement like "Keep card inserted" instead, and then changed to "Remove card".

Just another one of those minor accessibility things that would be dead simple to fix if the people in charge gave a shit about usability.
There are actually two gains from having the source in the open. One, that you can inspect the source - and in case of popular applications, even if you don't, you can be sure that someone already had and would speak up if they noticed anything off.

But the second one is, if there really is something off, there's an unambiguous proof of it - you can point directly at the implementation! And with luck, even at the particular person or organization responsible.
Nothing about ads on the internet implies tracking.

The most simplest solution is that newspapers host the ad on their own server as a .png or .jpg that gets shown to all visitors. It's tracking free and GDPR compliant.
So basically we create a law to protect user data and your answer is "let's only work with countries that think messing up with my users is ok" ?
> you have be a shameless mingebag to collect the 3gbp change

This doesn't make sense in a society (like the US) where many (most?) people pay for dining out with a credit card.
Luckily trains in Tokyo run in really short intervals during rush hour.
Agreed, if you don't have 50 credits for a plane ticket you've got bigger things to worry about. Money is credit. It controls our behavior and everything we do. It decides winners and losers. If you don't act a certain way, and do certain things, then you don't get money and you don't get to fly on a plane, amongst many other things. The capitalist system is a type of social credit system. It's a harsh, unforgiving, cruel and unjust system, and we're as immersed in it as fish in water, so we take it for granted. We take it for granted, that is, until we're introduced to a slight variant and you think about it for a few minutes, and 'Oh my gosh, keeping score on people? That's terrible!'

But if you think about it, a system that rewards people based on whether or not they're an asshole does make more sense than one that rewards people only on their ability to accumulate points- it seems to me that such a system would lead to pathological outcomes. Which, of course, it does.
I think you are mistaken about the keyboard. Basically every action you can perform has a keyboard shortcut. On top of that you can execute basically any command from a menu by hitting CMD+SHIFT+? And typing the menu name of the command.
Finally I can show a solid example to my team mates who ridiculed me when I said we needed restrictions on access to prod servers. This is a great write-up!

If the issue was really urgent enough for an ambulance, then "a doctor" probably wasn't what was needed. The doctor would just call for an ambulance - they probably wouldn't have much in the way of emergency treatment equipment on hand anyway.

If the issue wasn't urgent enough for an ambulance, and she just wanted to escalate the issue because she didn't trust the nurses or wasn't happy with the quality of service she felt she was getting, then it would be irresponsible to call 911. 911 is not for the use of impatient rich people.

She could have just called her grandmother's doctor.
It's probably not possible to implement trustless insurance using smart contracts then.
GDPR explicitly states that it (generally) only applies to companies which do business with people who are within the EU's borders (citizenship is not a prerequisite of GDPR protection) or EU businesses.

There is no jurisdiction if those companies don't have a presence in the EU. None. Show us international law where this would be applicable. As the grandparent was pointing out, any country can now make any law where if any of their citizens access some internet service where ever in the world, somehow their laws magically apply to everybody in the world "doing business over some fiber".

I don't think so.
This comment[0] from a Path Finder feature request thread[1] explains it:

"[N]eed a tree view where you expand/collapse and the 2nd view updates automatically to show the items in the selected folder. So basic, but not available in standard Finder! (and no, the column view does not what I want - not even close!) Currently I use List view, but once you've expanded a few folders, the view gets unwieldily long."

Not sure where you get this sense of entitlement that nothing you use should cost money to use, when it costs money to build/maintain/run. "I already pay for gas, why should I have to pay the stores I drive to?"

No, free (as in beer) has never been on the table. Free doesn't exist. I suppose an ad-free life costs what the market dictates, which it never has because of ads, thank goodness. I think if people had to pay for everything they use there would be a lot less innovation and certainly far fewer options.
The wording is highly dependent on the country. I don't think I've seen that in Australia in a long long time, on the rare occasion that I've had to sign rather than use PIN or contactless, but I've been in Asia for the past three weeks and did a lot of signing for my card with wording that sounds like that.
Yeah, sorry Wikileaks: absolutely nothing you say is worth trusting anymore, and this comparison of data exfiltration from Facebook with common ad network data collection is disingenuous at best and deliberately misleading by my estimation.
Yes. Storing financial records themselves on the blockchain would be pure insanity.

But I’m imagining a distributed reputation rating scheme. There’d have to be some PageRank-analogous feature (I think that’s how PageRank works), so that a high rating from an entity with a high rating is worth more.

Still plenty of issues to remedy... spam, sock puppets, etc. But I’d bet that a distributed credit rating system could be built.
Until I see reliable benchmarks and understand why Matrix4 is slow I do not know.

I think that the speed difference may be mostly related to avoiding allocations as in WA it is mostly just views rather than new ArrayBuffers if I am not mistaken.

I thought everything else should be fast. But I need to see the benchmarks accurately to know.
I had a really negative issue with Simple: a garnishment (wasn't my garnishment -- there's someone with my same first and last name with the same birth date who has a different middle name) that was incorrectly applied to my account. When I presented Simple (and their controlling bank) notification from the garnishing agency that they had garnished the wrong account (and deposited the check from the garnishing state's treasury back into my account), Simple's response was...to garnish my account.

Suffice to say, I went back to my neighborhood bank.

To Simple's credit: Their customer support was beyond fantastic -- they were at the mercy of their controlling bank...who was receiving the garnishment request.

When Simple switched banks last year, I received a check in the mail for $3 and change for the amount that I had left in my account after moving my direct deposits and such over. Just...a massive headache.

One nice property of Go programs is that they tend to be lightweight and statically compiled, which makes installation a breeze compared to PHO/Ruby/Python/etc. Also, you don't need to be as concerned about performance, albeit that isn't probably particularly exciting for CMS-things which tend to bottleneck on the DB/ORM.

To your point, they could just advertise the advantages instead of using "Go" as a proxy term, but it does draw me in a bit more since I'm already familiar with Go.
