I agree with the buying/renting thing (I don't see a reason to buy except as investment anyway)

However it is very easy to simply start from a lower standard and increase as you feel you need to than to start at the top and decrease to a lower standard gradually.
I started learning how to program so I could automate some of my business processes. In the beginning I hated every minute of it. I would avoid working on the project because it sucked but as soon as I made up my mind that I would do this or die trying, it took being in the right mood off the table. It now became, OK what's the next problem I need to solve to complete my project. I ended up falling in love with the process and now I'm consistently "programming" (more debugging?) for hours until I find a solution. I used to hate that there was so much to learn, now it excites me that there are so many new ways to improve.

I’ve built some startups in the past and they have all failed miserably. I think main reason being me building them too long without showing anyone.

I will take a different approach this time—I have a general idea and for now, I have implemented only a little just to get started.

I’ve created a public task list for OpenHub for anyone to add tasks and upvote their favorites:

So much of paleontology is wild-ass guesses extrapolated out from miniscule, fragmentary evidence. In any other field, it'd be wildly irresponsible to generalize in such fashion on such slim evidence.

It's a PR piece masquerading as a news article, supported by the reporter's relationship with PR reps for the named companies. Not that it was planted or bought. It's just lazy reporting. Write up a summary of what your friends and/or acquaintances say, don't do any real background, and definitely don't be skeptical of any claims. Accept terms like "blockchain" as something it makes sense for video streaming sites to be built on. You end up with an article that took little time to write, gets plenty of clickthroughs thanks to its great headline. Another deadline met.
Ah, thanks! I knew there was a rationale but hadn't quite gotten it.

Nice.

I agree that normal email-to-email might not disappear. But considering that most email users are either using Outlook or Gmail, and both these systems not being forced to use Email protocol when the receiver is using the same network, I'd guess that email isn't that much more reliable than FB messages when it comes to getting deleted.
Reconstructing 3D Models from the Last Jedi
> Kids. Adults buy kids new hardware to play latest games, and older stuff that is replaced is good enough for them.

I don't understand what you're trying to say here. You mention that adults are buying their children new hardware, but you're also talking about 6-7 year old gaming PCs? Not quite sure what you mean.

> Repurposing old hardware for new uses is what being eco friendly is about.

Yeah, but these are gaming PCs. They're terribly impractical for casual use. They're bulky and hot and noisy, with terrible battery life and a large power consumption.

> It's for June 2017 model, latest that was on Wikipedia. Is there a newer one which is twice as fast?

It's the "latest" in the sense that they bumped the clock speed of the process slightly and kept the Broadwell-era CPU in 2017; otherwise it's all parts from 2015 or before. Even the MacBook from today is faster, and MacBook Pro, while not "twice as fast", is around 1 1/2 times faster or so.

> This is a response to claim that 2010 PC users with Windows 10 being so rare, and that Mac mini from 2012 still having updates making it something special.

You know, I've never seen anyone still using a PC from 2010. Macs from 2010 aren't that uncommon though; I know at least a handful of people who use the non-Retina MacBook Pros from like 2009 every day.

> iPhone is the high-end flagship phone literally backed by Apple. No other iOS phone is going to exist...

Yes, that's my point. You buy an iPhone because it's a high end phone that Apple's dedicated to support for years. With Android it's hit-or-miss. Sometimes you hit Google and get updates for two or three years. Sometimes you get Samsung and wait six months to get a two-year old version of Android from your carrier. You buy an iPhone and you are instantly guaranteed updates straight from Apple, immediately and regularly, for the next five years. And that's any iPhone, from iPhone X to iPhone SE.
Having an overall, average goal for the whole EU kind of implies that some countries that can will contribute more than those that can't. What's the problem?

Not at all, zero days are of course found in trusted code. But they are used to inject malware (file based). That malware is not on the trust list and therefore is blocked from executing.

For example - what turned out to be a zero day exploit was blocked from executing as it was an unknown app. It was an uninstall script that tried to run ever hour and appeared to be part of an AV solution.

9 months later, it was identified as a zero day exploit by 'traditional' AV companies.

Similarly it has blocked SHA1 attacks where for example a previously trusted app has been compromised but even if the SHA1 matches, the other 5 hashes don't and therefore it is not allowed to execute. If any one hash doesn't match - it is blocked.
I don't regret not being able to finish a book when I go off into deep branches of thought, provoked by ideas from a book. It's not an issue unless I really need to read something and focus. While I may not finish a book, I've gotten so much from the experience of reading it. The experience is gratifying and worthwhile because of the creativity a book can spark.

A good book is a catalyst for the creative mind.

Tips for Hooking Up with Bisexual Women
My mind rather determinedly started wandering after the very first sentence:

>Unlike other animals, human beings spend
a lot of time thinking about what is not
going on around them

Did they interview all these other animals, all of them, Noah's ark style?
The proposition may well be true, but it's still a proposition presented a fact in what's presumably meant to look like a somewhat scientific report.

My mind doesn't just wander. I lose all further interest.
This is a great achievement, but the headline is misleading because it's only Portugal's ELECTRICITY GENERATION that (temporarily) reached 100% renewable, and electricity constitutes only about 25% of Portugal's energy consumption (source: Eurostat). A further 15% or so of Portgual's energy consumption is renewable in other forms (wood burning, biodiesel), but that leaves a large majority of fossil fuels (about 50% petroleum for transport and 10% natural gas for heating).
This is a great succinct explanation. I definitely understand QC's better after reading it. Thanks.

Ask HN: Resources for catching up on modern JavaScript for Python/C++ Programmer
When first learning to program (back in high school 10+ years ago) I played around a lot with JavaScript, building 'cool' websites that did all kinds of things in JavaScript. I haven't really touched it since.

I moved on to Java and now program professionally in Python and C++ (desktop apps development) and do some webapps development as side projects.

I've found myself doing lots of data visualisation and analysis (performance benchmarking etc) and for the most part I used Matlab and various python libraries to achieve this - but I've been lately using the great Charts.js library. I would love to get up to speed with how 'modern' JS works for frontend development. I'm not so concerned with learning particular frameworks in depth (but should I be?) - moreover what particular programming/design paradigms are considered the most effective?

What resources have people in a similar situation to me found to be useful?

An iPhone unboxing video is not a polar opposite of a video complaining about feminists.

I wouldn't call this polarisation even if it can be described as the polarisation of income models because my concern is about the content of the videos.

I find it disturbing to see comments on HN completely disregarding the content and context and default to monetary optimisation.

I believe that people and their creations are what matters and the business models around those are incidental, despite the fact the business is influencing the content.

People always sing songs but the way they profit from this keeps changing over time. Selling tickets, selling recording, selling streaming, selling right - all change as the technology and society changes.

Therefore, I think that the polarisation is not the right word here as there is no polarisation of the content of ad-friendly and controversial content. They might be polarised among themselves tho, like iPhone vs Samsung and MAGA vs Antifa.
I have an issue with "all". Unless he did interview all the people with experience and wisdom. Otherwise it is just a soundbite.

You can if you've specifically written it into the contract and made sure the employee is aware of the clause: https://www.employment.govt.nz/hours-and-wages/pay/deduction... (Recovering money owed if employee leaves without working out notice)

I'm not sure if it's ever been in any of my contracts, but it is apparently an option.

I agree with this 100%. As a SaaS business they are going to be spending a lot of time working out what state their buyers are in and what tax to add to the sale. For this reason we incorporated in the UK (We are London based) and charged no tax for our US customers. All we had to do was call the IRS and get an EIN to provide to our larger customers, which was a fairly painless and free process.

I thought cross compiling for OSX wasn't so bad.
I laughed at this comment chain, because I relate to the general idea
put forward here.

I'm finding this difficult to comment on so intangibly. Try and
suspend your convictions as stupid or empty the rest of this might
seem.

You really have to change your perspective.

For me, that meant making new memories. I struggled with the reminders
of that past relationship. It overlapped very many areas of my life,
there were a few I just couldn't avoid and many were dear to me. The
good becoming bad in that aftermath, it all seemed tainted by the
past, not going anywhere.

I took a new approach altogether in those areas, piece by piece.
Sooner or later I stopped having those initial and seemingly
involuntary attachments. I don't even recognise it anymore, but I do
still remember things and it isn't always bad. It does undo itself in
time, with that new perspective.

Those hard facts are a good thing if they are part of a process. Like
grieving [1].

Our thoughts determine our feelings. You seem to have a great
awareness of your situation which has always been a good starting
point on many things for me. You can challenge your reality, the
present moment being based on what you're making of the past and not a
whole lot else (or so it seems).

Interesting point. I can relate to these experiences, too. In fact, I just learned Rust in the last few months by driving myself harder than usual. I pursued it with relentless determination, ending many days in mental exhaustion.
Yours.org is is my favorite example of this. Writers of articles receive Bitcoin Cash from the community. Interestingly, it costs Bitcoin Cash to upvote content and comment on things. Presumably this helps combat upvote bots and spammers.

Edit: forgot to mention that if you upvote content, later upvotes of the same content earn you money. This incentivizes people to discover and promote new content they think will be popular on the platform.

No claims that it is sufficient - what is does do it prevent any non-trusted file based executable etc from running.

Doesn't do fileless, memory-based or rootkit but does prevent any untrusted and therefore unknown executable from running.

Does that have value - of course, a true default deny approach.

With Google Inbox (inbox.google.com) I can Snooze an email for [x] number of days and it'll be gone from my inbox and I don't have to think about it until it comes back. I use Inbox for personal email but I'd rather not be.

Airmail doesn't have a web client, and that's where most of my emailing takes place, so unfortunately it's not an option.

We use FrontApp on top of FastMail for customer service, it provides a bunch of useful features on top of email, such as the one I just mentioned. I could use it for my personal email but that would mean paying two monthly subscriptions. Plus it doesn't have spam filtering built in.
You're absolutely right that the article title is incorrect, but reaching 100% renewables including heating and transport would be a sci-fi feat at this stage so it's not really that misleading. The fact it's electrical generation is almost implied by logic. Almost.

Still, it should be corrected for clarity. But it seems a remarkable achievement.

On the fact that it's temporary, I'm curious to see how long any country or even region takes to reach 100% permanent renewable generation. That could be similarly sci-fi-ish, even if there's some recent hope in battery-related news stories.

> I personaly cannot think of a good reason they do this. Maybe they argue that they don't trust any CA Authorities other than themselves

They do it precisely because they cannot trust any other CAs. You cannot trust any CAs — and yet you do. Go into your browser: odds are you have CAs controlled by the Russian, Chinese & Turkish governments. You're not just trusting those CAs to issue certificates for .cn, .ru or .tr: you're trusting them for every TLD in the world, to include .com, .gov & .mil. Yes, if you're using XPKI (the standard PKI basically everything on the Internet uses), you're trusting that the Chinese government will never man-in-the-middle your sessions with the IRS. The DoD (rather wisely) chooses to trust only itself to certify itself.

My own opinion is that what we should have done was adopt a system which leveraged DNS to delegate trust (note that this is what Let's Encrypt does), and that we should have rooted DNS in a multinational board: if the U.S., China, Russia, Iran, the United Kingdom, the Ukraine, France & Mexico all agree on something, it's really very likely to be true.

We should also have leveraged IP assignments. Imagine if when you talked to a system it produced proof that it really is allowed to have its IP address and that it really is allowed to speak for a particular domain. That's really what people want, not some sort of nebulous tie to a real-world identity. What we care about is that facebook.com is facebook.com, not that it's Facebook, Inc., headquartered in Menlo Park.

> ...this is how its going to have to continue if we still want to be living on earth in 50 years

Climate change is a cluster-f-bomb that will evolve into blatant seriousness over tens of decades. It won't directly ruin civilization, either, so if we avoid any major wars based on scarcity or refugee crises we're likely just looking at a major remodeling of humanities day-to-day and some intense population events moreso than annihilation.

From that perspective, I'm gonna say "kiiiiiiiinda".

It's not like what Apple is doing is _bad_, but let's get real: they're stating above the fold that their green investments are no solution for their massive 24/7 computing needs. They're investing in fungable offsets, but the underlying energy production is still carbon intensive. Their approach doesn't cover their own needs, and can't scale to any industrially challenging or civilization-scale needs. We want to transition a lot of industry over to clean electrical processes that require more energy and we want to lift a few Billion out of poverty, too...

If we look at total energy usage on this planet and future demands we see that funging some minor percentage of electricity production (not energy!), is just moving around some lipstick on a pig and making sure the brand is "eco friendly"...

Fundamentally we need to be looking at technologies that eliminate the need for the coal plant to keep the datacenter open, the peaker gas plants that handle bursty loads, and for burning oil to get the workers/supplies in and out of the building. We don't need electrical tech that's "green" on top of existing infrastructure, we need green tech that displaces and eliminates existing energy infrastructure.

Bluntly, if you care about that 50 year picture: the answer is fission, with a vague and slight possibility of fusion (maybe).
So, not in my early 40s and I haven't quit a high paying tech job, but I have done well creating apps. Years ago I decided not to go work at a large FANG company because I knew I would be miserable.

Having the freedom to do your own thing is amazing. You will love it. But you need to switch from an employee mentality to an owner mentality.

Assume you're not going to make $500k a year in the first few years (if ever). The main advantage you get is that you build up assets; say you create an app that nets 200 or 300k in income a year and run that for a few years. You can eventually sell that for a 2 to 5x multiple depending on the space it is in. Those gains are then generally taxed as capital gains, meaning you pay (lower) tax on them. Self employed people can take more deductions and pay less overall tax -- look at after tax income.

Another thing to consider is, if your current compensation for a large part comes from stock based compensation, that these stocks will not keep going up forever. If you've been at Facebook for years and received stock at $20, it's not going to go another 10x in the next 2 to 3 years. Meaning you won't actually make 500k/yr (should that be the case)

You will also need to learn how to invest. I don't think there are many entrepreneurs out there who don't invest their money. You're leaving a ton of money on the table and honestly, there is no excuse to have $1.1m sitting in cash in a bank account. But at current valuations perhaps wait until the stock market has a proper correction.

Also, mobile games are hard. I know how to make money from apps, but games are insanely competitive. Have you considered looking into other things?

Quality of life is worth more than anything, in my view. My father died at 55. Even though I've done well for someone in his late 20s, living and enjoying life / family is more important than money. Taking a moderate risk (on a 'lifestyle' business) might be enough -- there's no rule saying you need to shoot for the moon.
