Hm. I’m a little puzzled. If you can’t meet other people to talk, you’ll have problems forming a firm. So my counter-offer to people reading this: meet with each other for lunch every Sunday. It’ll be $15/lunch. After 12 weeks of lunches you will know if you like the people and whether they have thr skills and can form your team anyway and not give anybody anything, especially the 1%. To find people who care, form a meetup, post on HN and Reddit. If nobody replies after 12 attemps, your idea is wrong and change your idea. This method lets you iterate through 5 ideas a year. If you dont have the idea and like coding - there are hundreds of post on how to find the idea. Ping me if you still have no idea. I can give you hundreds of ideas that I have no time building.
In my experience anything that's not Gmail is considered suspicious, .com or not. I still use my email on my domain regardless of what people think though. Never more than a minor inconvenience.

One thing I can suggest though is to stay away from TLDs that get extreme discounts, like .top, .xyz etc, given they are (ab)used quite a bit by spammers, to the point that I had to just blacklist them TLDs.
What does your site provide - does it sell any products or services or is it purely ad supported? If it’s ad supported and you don’t care about your brand I’d say there’s no risk in switching to shittier ads, but if you want to keep a quality brand or have other services you sell, be careful as shitty ads could put off potential paying customers making it not worth it in the long-term.

The advantage of Carbon (or any other quality ad network like The Deck) is that the ads don’t really look like ads, so you can use them pretty much anywhere without degrading the UX and getting essentially free money. It might be not much but it’s still free money in exchange for a minimal change in the UX. Nasty ads might pay more but would degrade the experience so much I would no longer consider it “free” money no matter how much they’re paying.
I might be the only one here, but I wish Gitlab had stayed on providing the best git / issues solution instead of bloating it further and further into CI/CD and more. After all, Gitlab started as an open source alternative to github and that’s what I really wish for and while I understand how Gitlab needs to differentiate itself from Github, the direction is causing some of the issues. My two cents...
The C standard says arguments to main() should be defined as:

int main(void)

or

int main(int argc, char *argv[])

(or equivalent, eg. int can be replaced by a typedef name
defined as int, or the type of argv can be written as
char ** argv).

EDIT: apologies for the atrocious formatting, but it wasn't clear to me how to put two asterisks in a sequence here on HN without preformatted text.
> Nobody learned anything useful from knowing that some guy with a GMail account isn't pleased with the spam filter.

I didn't, because I'm already aware through personal experience that gmail's spam filter is much too strict, consigning legitimate emails to the spam folder despite the fact that any idiot could tell you they were real.

But in general, I don't see why one user's comment that the spam filter is terrible should be viewed as less "useful" than another user's comment that the spam filter is great.
Stupid question- but there is are huge currents under water- could they be harvested for additional forward motion?

There are these weird fad-based franchises that pop up often and slowly die over time. Edible Arrangements (fruit arranged like flowers), Froyo frozen yogurt shops, Curves for women fitness centers, and more. You can go to a medium to large size strip mall and see them.

My guess is that it's mostly advertising in franchise lifestyle places (like magazines) combined with the fact that it's selling a relatively low-cost service and works more by appointment than an open storefront. Sort of a cheap version of a business retreat or clown showing up at your birthday party.

Interestingly, a company as big as Square Enix has one, their "Trials of Bahamut" escape room in various cities.

Oh, and they aren't really new per se, it's just dinner mystery theatre without the dinner. Places have been doing that for decades.
Python is really in the same category as JavaScript as far as being asynchronous is concerned.
Very few people realize that when they give their money to the bank, the bank owns 100% of the money and all you get is a promise by the bank to let you withdraw an equivalent amount money with certain restrictions (usually also insured by the FDIC).

With fractional reserve banking the bank isn’t lending out your money... they’re lending out their own money, and you also have a contract with the bank for a similar amount of money. When a crisis like Cypress happens, it isn’t a failure of the bank to return its customers money, it’s a failure of the bank to honor their contracts.
That's not entirely true. You can keep any version that you've paid one year worth of subscription for. That means that if you subscribe for three years then cancel your subscription, you'll always have access to the version that was released one year before you cancelled.

I agree, I've been using Gitlab and it has been very unreliable. It has become too bloated.
issue is storage: you would get one stupendous burst of energy and then you would need to store it and trickle it out more slowly.
> Like anyone involved in software, you're surely an expert in all of these topics and thus qualified to make this claim without backing it up.

PhD in neuroscience, undergrad research on reward and behavior. So, yes, yes I am qualified. You are 100% wrong on all fronts.
Reinstall Windows 10 from a USB stick (MS provide a tool to create them). You will jump straight to the latest build with no updates at all.

However I will agree, I dual boot Windows 10 and Ubuntu anad I know I will have to suffer updates if I boot Windows. On the other hand I am not too happy with Ubuntu's updates right now...
Back when finger was popular, I used to have the following line at the bottom of my .plan file:

Bus error - cored dumped

I caught a few sysadmins with that one.
I genuinely do not understand the artist in the replies who says this has destroyed their work. Can't the website require you to click/tap once to start its thing, without negative impact? I feel like I must be missing something. (There's a mention about not updating code for existing work, which might be it?)
Our fiction addiction: Why humans need stories
Very often institutions decide stupidly, when the decision is made by people that are not domain experts. Also, numbers may lie. If they did not study the same content with interactive and plain presentation, for example. I recall an article on a murder in Iceland on BBC IIRC, it was overtly interactive, every movement on the touch pad causing unpredictable changes to the page, but the content was so interesting that I put up with it.
The title looks editorialized - can the scare quotes be removed? They don't seem to be in the original.
By the way, I've had those top menus that open to left happen when windows installs a touch/ink/stylus input device. There's a control panel setting somewhere for input devices like these, where there's a checkbox (that sometimes magically self-re-enables) for making menus appear to left for the purpose of accomodating on-screen hand-writing for right-handed writers. It's a bit weird that it ends up affecting the menus even when you stricly use a mouse to open them.
But those are PDF editors, not PDF readers.
the US does not have a shortage of STEM workers, the problem is our physics graduates are working web development jobs where thousands of companies are implementing the same CRUD application
Why does this system 'learn'.
I wouldn't mind a prompt much like desktop-notifications are now. Ask me if a site can auto-play.

If google want this on-by-default on youtube, I wouldn't mind. As an upside, this would make it obvious they favor their own product.
my professional email is mylastname.me and when i tried emailing a firm about an offer it bounced and i had to rely on my normal gmail which was made when i was 13 years old lol. i got the job anyway but i'd be wary of using a country tld for it in the fear that some sysadmins might set up strict whitelists for such things
Fresh water, not quite so easily sourced.
> I got stuck with falling updates like 5 month

I've had a similar/same issue (although this is on Windows 7) with the Feb->Current monthly security rollups installing and rolling back ad nauseum. The reason I mention it is because dual-booting has been fingered as the cause in a few cases, whether or not that's grub or something else I'm not sure (no helpful error messages that I can find).

I'm personally about to drop the Windows partition completely, but if it's possible removing the dual-boot bit temporarily might help (although faffing around etc). Until the next time it happens! This happened a year or two back as well from memory.
I disagree with the premise that users today want all sorts of multimedia content to add icing to the text. Some floated pictures or a carousel might be helpful for a news article, but most other stuff is just fluff pushed by business analysts to increase "engagement".
I like linux but windows has had much fewer technical issues for me.

Not having to wrangle bluetooth/printer/graphics card drivers for hours is nice. This admittedly has improved a ton on linux in recent years, though.
It's what I strive for in terms of time of publish, selection of content, aesthetics, etc, etc. I understand that realistically not everybody will receive it in the morning. I think reading at lunchtime is a good time as well :)
There's a facebook group [0] that has people in it who have successfully gotten Apple to change their display for free. Have you tried talking to their online support? When I did and referenced "Staingate" they told me to bring my MacBook in and replace it for free.

When I did it, they said they would only do it up until 3 years after the purchase date of the Macbook but there are people in that Facebook group who have had theirs changed for free with a little bit of arguing.

Maybe because they are focused on enterprise users, who get forced silent updates from their admin? Maybe the UX for home users is an afterthought?
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, fixmystreet.com is a great platform. I think for something like this an easy mobile experience is key, and we will be focusing on just litter for now.
Technically it's every work day, so five days a week, but I understand what you mean. I think only time will tell. I can promise to listen to feedback and if daily doesn't work I'm willing to switch it.
Try the phone based activation next time, it's usually a lot more forgiving for activations + they have a free number in most countries
The purpose of education should be learning how to think and to apply one's thoughts. The most important tools in the class are the brains of the teachers and pupils. Those are really the only tools that are needed. My youngest son had to have a laptop for the final three years of school (Norwegian videregående). It was justified on very flimsy grounds. One of the programs was a geometry program; what he learnt from that could have been taught by Pythagoras with a sharp stick in the dust on the ground.
Question: My post doesn't seem come up in the "show" tab? Can anyone verify?
> How will you know it's a comprehensive exposé?

How about before I purchase there's an excerpt and the number of words that lay ahead? I mean, it couldn't be that hard to distinguish comprehensive articles vs the norm.

> How will you evaluate whether an article is going to be worth the price?

I wouldn't know. And if it wasn't worth it, I probably wouldn't purchase a future piece from the same reporter. That said, there could be a review system. (Just brainstorming here)
I was confused by that, too. I have a problem with the word ‘dearth’ in that I can often not remember whether it means an abundance or scarcity. So I looked it up, and found that it means scarcity. Perhaps GP makes the same mistake I do and misused dearth to mean abundance?
I don't think this is individual IT/DEV self employed contractors here.
Im on .health https://1up.health and its been great. They have even done a blog post (https://get.health/casestudies/29-1uphealth) about us to help spread the word. No issues with SEO or others finding us. The only thing we try to do is have anyone that mentions us add a link to the correct .health domain instead of a .com which has happened once before. I have had an issue with some websites saying i dont have a valid email though :/

>Some people think we're getting too many transplants

Those people would be wrong. California lost a net of approximately 1 million residents between 2007 and 2016 [1]. Chalk it up to over-regulation (like the issue we are discussing here), high state income taxes, overcrowded/underfunded public schools, expensive housing, etc., but anyone complaining about too many transplants arriving in CA simply doesn't know the statistics.

I think parent’s gripe is that if you end your subscription, you can’t keep any updates that come out during your last year, so you likely need to go backwards with your installed version.
Not that sort of singleton contractor - and technically having a company employee manage your day to day tasks will be take by the tax man as disguised employment - not a good idea.
Yep, "If you don't build it they won't come " doesnt work - especially in a desirable place like CA. I really hope these people don't really believe this motto. The current status is just wealth protection for those that got in years ago.

Regarding traffic - it is really sad that the epicenter of tech (and frankly our entire US economy) is so backwards on public transit and infrastructure. Its such an easy fix if we rolled our sleeves up and did it now and not over the next 40 years...

> we are not a seller platform but rather a retail outlet

This i think is a differentiator and should be the highlight on your website.

I dont think you can beat the big players on price but for sure on other aspects you mention. Especially customer service.

Also it wouldn’t hurt to have an amazon/flipkart outlet for your products. Even if its just for brand awareness.
Compare it to nearly same sized sum of Chinese solar RnD state funds.

Back a decade ago, they were ready to dish out few million bucks to anybody who just had word "solar" in their company name.

I don't see how it will be different this time.
> I'd argue that something is seriously wrong if you can't get at least one employee to vouch for you.

The corollary to that is that if you get to the point where you need to check on the vouchsafety of all your contractors - en masse - something is seriously wrong with your company.
I use a very simple Chrome extension which just opens any existing Reddit threads for the current webpage.

Would the word "meticulous" make you feel better?

I expect that is a better term. Nitpick implies unimportant, unnecessary finding of fault for the purpose of finding fault. Meticulous implies attention to detail and precision. They look the same after you submit your document for review.
Sleep training worked great for us. YMMV.
Not only feature updates. Also everyday bug, security updates and also operating costs.

1. Operating system
2. Programming IDE
3. Password Manager
4. Well I pay subscription for Netflix and Spotify but that's not really for the updates. Partly for new content, partly operating costs.
5. Facebook (I'd prefer to cover the operating costs by subscription, I really dislike ads)
6. Email - same as above

Also, actually I'd like all the services I use to provide feature updates now and then and continue trying to innovate.

Edit: also, if you do feature updates every now and then. Like it was with Windows or Photoshop. Then you end up having to support a lot of parallel versions with security and bug fixes which is wasted work really.
Price gouging will create opportunities for new entrants.
True. How many new features do they need? What about word processors? Photo editors? Email clients? There are new features that could be useful, but for many users their needs are already fulfilled. Why should they have to continue paying for Photoshop as a service if they're happy with the current version? I apologise for my poor examples.
Who knew that space exploration was risky ?
The author clearly needs a new provider.
Autism diagnoses skyrocketed - an important distinction.

In US schools, frequently to get help for a child like in a 504 plan, or IEP, you generally need to get a diagnosis. The Autism spectrum as it is defined at the moment is so wide and vast that you can take a couple traits that could be normal neurodiversity but apply an ASD diagnosis to it. This leads to further institutionalization, medications and therapists being shoved down kids throats, by pharmaceutical companies promising to solve symptoms and "save" parents kids.
That depends on when you planning on spending that money.
> We didn’t need paywalls on the early web because we focused on plain text from other users. Plain text is easier to produce, lowering the friction for people to contribute, and it’s also cheaper to store and transmit, lowering the cost of bandwidth.

This is jarringly bad analysis that says more about TechCrunch's view of "content" than it does about anything else.

The cost of the "plain text" produced by the likes of true journalistic organizations like the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, WaPo, et al comes from the salaries of the journalists and the resources needed to support them (travel, domestic bureaus, foreign bureaus, fees, etc.).

We didn't need paywalls on the early web because... well, maybe we did need them and we failed to build them or invest in alternatives: Look at what's happening to journalism.[0]

The author may have a point about there being an opportunity to streamline something, but if it doesn't result in money being directed to people creating the content that really matters (and honestly, people voting with their pocketbooks is the only rational way to choose just which content that is, unless you want someone else deciding for you), then it changes nothing.

Personally I'm happy to send subscription money to these organizations, at least, and grateful for the privilege to do so.

This is the "You have died of Dysentery" one.
Not really. You can see the basic idea on the nLab: https://ncatlab.org/nlab/show/variety+of+algebras#free_algeb...

Continuing the example I gave, the monad law "Identity" says that "trivial subexpressions are already simplified"

a+b = (a)+(b)
|| ||
(a+b) = a+b

and the monad law "Associativity" says that "order of simplification doesn't matter"

((a)+(b))+((c+d)+(e)) = (a)+(b)+(c+d)+(e)
|| ||
(a+b)+(c+d+e) = a+b+c+d+e

The laws for an algebra for a monad say "Trivial expressions evaluate to themselves"

a = (a) = a

and "you get the same result no matter the order you do evaluations and simplifications"

(6+1)+(3) = 7+3
|| ||
6+1+3 = 10
I could have sworn they offer specials or something where you can get the current and next version.. can't recall, I end up upgrading each year to keep my discount going.
We really hope that people feel inspired to do that too! We've found that for some founders, having structure and shared commitment go a long way and we'd like to support that part of the process. The equity is also there to ensure that the organization has aligned incentives and skin in the game.
Those peopler are, of course, totally incorrect. Our population boom is partly from migration but mostly from longevity.

But, most of the time you make more with a win-win long term relationship.
When I visit my wifes family in (very) rural China, it kind of reminds me how we used to socially interact back when I was young 20 years ago. People would just pop by back then and sit in my couch for an hour or two, have a talk, watch some TV and get a snack and tea for no particular reason other than they just wanted to come by and it was okay. Everyone is always busy doing something today and everything has to be planned and just popping by feels weird and rude now..

Its funny how people had time to do something like standing in line at the post office to pay their bills back then, but they still managed to spend and hour or two to just be with a friend for no special reason. Maybe it was just a necessity back then without the phones and all and nobody actually really liked to spend time with friends and family. Seems like friendship has been automated somehow today to make it more efficient. I bet that in 1000 years long after human kind has disappeared, there will be friends sending each other automated birthday greetings in one of those solar powered data centers somewhere in Finland.
I tend to think of myself as a professional first, and employee second. The distinction between employee and contractor becomes a matter of accounting and tax law.

>>> The company, by making them the boss, has said that the company thinks the boss knows more than I do, so maybe the right thing to do is to go along with it?

I don't assume that for one minute. I work in a job where there is literally nobody else in the company with my expertise.
I want to keep this primarily as a newsletter because it allows me to speak directly to my readers in many different ways. While I will have an RSS link and post the emails on the website, those are there mostly to give an idea of the newsletter rather than the preferred way of reading it.

I'm glad you liked it :)
When you say "working to keep you" I think you're imagining the software becoming more valuable and useful to you, such that you are happy to keep paying them.

In reality, those companies who don't do scummy things like attempt to lock your data or similar, will be out competed by those who do.
The US is not homogenous. Everyone we know knows about swaddling.
It depends if the TLD registry is reputable organization. Obviously Verisign (.com, .net), PIR (.org) or Google (.app) seem to be more reputable than Indian Ocean Territory (.io) or Montenegro (.me).

But there is a bunch of other ccTLDs I wouldn't be afraid of, namely .co.uk, .eu, .de, .nl, .se, .cz, .no and many others. It always depends on the particular organization and its rules and security policy.
So then I guess we've hit QED - If all that is true why is a legislative mandate desirable?
Sounds like you're expecting everyone to see eye to eye with you. The person you're responding to expressed how he or she sees things. The only person who seems to be trying to cut off certain lines of conversation is you.
People used to summarize YC in a similar way. The devil is usually in the details though. I think this program could be valuable to a certain type of aspiring founder.
Pensioners receive a check from the tax funds just like everyone else. Assuming pensioners use less electricity than average, they will receive a net benefit.

Corporations using a lot of electricity get the same sized tax dividend check the pensioner gets, so it's a net loss for them. The wealthy subsidize the poor under this system.

It functions alot like ubi actually.
