I found this out a few years ago after stripping several IKEA screws and getting incredibly frustrated. Bought a couple Pozidriv screwdrivers on Amazon, and they worked like a charm.

Ask HN: Is it possible to monetize a chat app?
It seems like the answer should be an obvious yes, but nobody I know (myself included) has ever paid for one. I think I've got a great idea for a chat app, but I really can't see anyone paying for it when there are great alternatives that are free. It seems like even if my app were to go viral, the endgame would be to either get acquired (like WhatsApp) or become an entire platform (like Snapchat).

Has anyone here had any success monetizing a messaging/chat app?

Just out of curiosity, how do you know this just wasn't an intentional side effect of someone hosting a website on a DO box? Namely, was the box just responding to anything that would connect to it?

Google has probably already crawled that domain previously, and when it asked for that IP address, it found some other persons website.

Having seen a VBA-powered spaghetti-monster of a spreadsheet in use, the title made me shudder in fear. I feel bad for whoever gets allocated one of these 'business-critical applications' to maintain.
It is dramatically easier to send someone a bank transfer in Europe (and I'd imagine, the rest of the world) than it is in the US. All you need is the recipient's IBAN (and sometimes BIC, which is usually already in the IBAN), and boom, you can initiate a transfer from your bank to theirs, for free. It blows my mind that banks in the US still haven't figure out how to do this.
At least they're not yet so pretentious as to call it an "eatery" which seem to be the latest trend among middling restaurants trying to distinguish themselves.
Idea: Distributed peer-to-peer "serverless" computing, where you gain points/money for computing, that can be used to run your own functions.
>Pagers like "more" & "less" have in-built behaviour that knows how to interpret these sequences and render bold or underline appropriately,

Right

>and if you "cat" the file your terminal would probably ignore them

I think the terminal does not ignore them. My guess is that it interprets the characters, but it has no noticeable visual effect on the screen. E.g. if the letter "c" in "cat" is output as "c^hc" (to make in bold in print), the terminal will just print "c", a backspace, then "c" again, which to the user will look the same as a single "c".

In your specific case, that information could be material to causing or inflicting great deals of harm. It's no different than a bomb assembly video (which is illegal).

If, perhaps, owners of guns were concerned about gun assembly videos being taken down, they could help the general public with efforts to reduce incidents of mass gun violence.
This argument makes no sense since by abstaining from consuming resources you are saving them for the future.
Until a few months ago, it was illegal to pump your own gas in Oregon--they had to have an attendant at every station to do it for you. They recently made it optional, at least for rural stations.
The Role of Norms in Internet Security: Reputation and Its Limits
I'm typically not particularly paranoid, but if a state actor wanted to destabilize the US economy, increasing the rate of fraud via identity theft sounds like a great way to do it. Crank it up just enough to hurt the economy, but not quite enough to break the identity status quo....

The leak of this data basically enables a denial of service attack against parts of the economy dependent on personal identity.

I know this is somewhat off point, but there's a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallacy_of_division happening here when considering risk - individually, my chance of impact is low (I think?), but as a society, the risk of impact is very high.

I think that makes it worth replacing everyone's SSN, at a minimum.
I'm not sure I buy this. If we know definitively that btc uses more energy than all of Switzerland, and we know that Switzerland doesn't spend >100% (or likely even >30%) of its energy on banking, and we know that Swiss banks clear more money than Bitcoin, then we have a reasonable point of comparison.
The corporate death penalty here would not fix the problem. The data are already exposed.

Equifax market cap is currently $13.5B. Corporate death penalty would hurt owners of that stock, maybe funds in your own 401K account. Thousands of people would lose their jobs.

Would it have a preventive effect? Maybe but doubtful. There are too many systems with too much data that are too old and too interconnected to think that it's even possible to secure them all. If it wasn't Equifax it would have been someone else, eventually. Most of what Equifax exposed was probably already exposed in other leaks anyway.

Better solution should be developing new, secure methods of proving identity, where leaks don't matter because it's not possible to leak anything of value. All the old ways are now forever broken.
IMMO, IKEA should switch to use square drive or torx drive to better eliminate the risk of cam-out. Pozidriv is more complex to manufacture (than Philips drive) but arguably less resistant to cam-out than sqaure drive (easier to manufacture too) or torx drive.
This book is cutting edge science, with ample references to recent studies. It came out last year and is written by someone who has personally helped hundreds of thousands (if not millions of people) to lose weight and keep it off long term, I highly encourage you to read it before making judgments about the motives of the author.
Ask HN: Any recommended case studies of private blockchain implementation?
So my question is how this integrates with their online version of Excel? For example: I build some custom JS based functions in Excel and used them all over my spreadsheet then I upload it to OneDrive and trying to open it in online Excel form, will it work? That is key for someone like me who creates sheet offline but then wants to consume the data via online version.
Western civilization needs to prevail somehow too, yes. The tech world is still English-first IMO and the tech drives everything else nowadays because it provides enormous advantages.
I'd suggest ExcelDNA rather than VSTO. But that doesn't help with your main point (nothing to install or support, you can extend the spreadsheet without having to compile or install anything) which I completely agree with.
Everyone is right in a way. Evolution is messy and undirected.

Some genes appear very early in the tree of life. Others have re-evolved two, three, or hundreds of times. This happens both because there may only be one reasonable way to encode the same function or because the same existing structure can be re-used for the same “new” function (evolution often re-uses existing features because that’s far easier then evolving ex nil)
As they explained in the article, they cannot agree to stop violating the terms if they have no understanding of how they're violating the terms.

They did review them, and could not locate the violation. So they contacted Amazon for confirmation and wound up in this bot loop.
I seriously wonder why C libraries have to deal with political issues now. Pretty sure a fork() of this library is the apt thing to do here.

At which point you may as well put the transactions in a SQL database and call it Paypal.
Do German credit cards not have cashback programs? When every transaction I make gives me back 1-6%, that adds up significantly over time. It's essentially subtracting tax off of groceries and gas for me.
Regular business transfers with trusted partners is almost 100% done by regular bank transfer in Western Europe ( I am talking about NL, but I am pretty sure it applies for DE/DK etc as well ).

You order a bunch of X, get the invoice, pay the invoice within its term ( usually 30 days ).

It is not even cost-saving : we had to conduct businesses before creditcards were widely available.
This is really interesting. As far as I know there are only two servers that power the majority of public instances and both of them have weak type systems.
There's kind of an implication that your are admitting guilt. That's probably the main reason she didn't do it right away.

Also, if she ever slips up on any rule in the future, Amazon can double-hammer her with violating their terms and breaking her own word.

Finally, by making it a link, Amazon could potentially change the contents and make it appear that she had agreed to something she didn't.
As someone (a progressive from the UK mind you) who has read a lot of parliamentary texts I tend to the view that it does mean that individuals have the right to own / bear arms.

Because he probably doesn't want to be seen to be admitting to a wrongdoing, if he does not believe he has committed any. And also because it is impossible to comply with a request to remove the incorrect material if it has not been explained what in particular is incorrect.

It's pretty-much a statement that you never want to make.
The case against dark matter
Ugh, except Pozidriv will still cam and tear up their own screws, and same with Phillips. That's the secret to this tidbit of information that is never included. They're both trash fasteners when used with a slightly different driver, but they're also trash even when used correctly.

Robertson for life. When I was young I had a job assembling furniture and that, along with a couple Allen socket fasteners, was the only thing we used. Phillips fasteners that came with assemblies went straight into metal recycling to hopefully get born again as something worthwhile. You can practically drive a Robertson head straight through the center of the Earth with the amount of torque it handles. Never have to waste time drilling pilot holes.

If I was made dictator for a day, I'd immediately outlaw Phillips and Pozidriv. Even flat head is better than those pieces of junk.

There are a lot of Phillips fasteners that will also fit a Robertson bit. Just try both with the same screw. It's ludicrous how instantly you'll realize the Robertson is better.
Antitrust Concerns About Big Data May Be Overblown
It’s also important not to be singled out as having money available, but I found this to be the case only around other people in poverty with a poverty mindset. It’s best for others in this environment to consider you out-group. If they consider you in-group they will sabotage and belittle your attempts to escape. It’s a delicate balance of seeming different but also poor. If other poor people find out you’ve been saving money they’ll try to take it. They have an odd view of what “having money” is. My mother is almost sixty and thinks if she has five hundred dollars then she has “a lot of money”.

Not long term it’s not, the studies that show that are short term in nature, like most diet studies.

Fiber is a double edge sword, some people do great with more, some people do terrible with more — it’s highly dependent and the only way to know is experiment. The book Health Gut, Healtby You by Dr. Ruscio is the most up to date book on gut health.
Why did they have to name it cloudevents? What's in it that restricts the use of it to the cloud? Surely you can structure events acc.to this spec without using public cloud.
There is an upside to this, actually order the money losing items at fast casual restaurants etc and it's a great deal.

PS: Also, look for companies that defect from the marketing game which allows them to sell very high quality products for cheap. Think store brand items etc.
Visualize Your GitHub Profile
I thought this was part of the business model. Microsoft makes bank by rolling out an "empowering" tool (think Excel Macros, Access VBA, and LightSwitch) that allows the business folks to create their own solutions. Eventually they outgrow or simply can't maintain those solutions and hire developers, whom Microsoft made bank selling them "real" dev tools, to convert them into proper applications. Rinse and repeat.
Recently learned that many digital recorders have a tuner feature while looking for a cheap one for field recordings. Might be worth a shot.

> I know I made a stupid mistake by not removing the A record but this could happen to anyone. I would like to see more services only allow for DNS based authentication by adding TXT records.

There is plenty of reasons why one will prefer HTML verification over TXT DNS verification. It's usually faster, and more predictable. Plus DNS are far from being completely secure.
No cashbacks in Western Europe as far as I am aware.

How do feel about shafting all your suppliers? Because that is about the sentiment here.
Interesting. When I first got into the industry, knowledge pass down to me as 30% Food Cost, 30% Staff, 30% Rent / Electrics, and 10% Profits. Again this differ from places, City and non City restaurants. And This is mostly in Asia, HK, Taiwan and China. ( Not Japan )

When I left the industry, Food Cost are now pushing down close to 20%. Staff Cost and Rent made up of nearly 70%. With Rental taken nearly 40%. Since Staff Cost, and Rent are mostly fix cost, the only way they could improve Revenue was to becomes fast food alike, i.e faster table turnover. ( A trend I really dislike )

>This is one of the biggest things I had to drill into clients, it's not just about making good food and slapping a fee on top, it's a strict regieme of training, control and excellent book keeping on top of a passion for food and a desire to make people happy.

This. So Much.

I still wanted to get back into Food and Hospitality business someday. I think Food is a topics that connects with everyone. And I still think there is lot of innovation and tech could help with the industry, it is rather unfortunate no one is taking a look into it.
Not currently, but it will definitely go on the future feature list. Thanks for the tip.

The New York area is full of diners with enormous menus that are not chains. Quality varies highly (and often not correlated with price), but I believe it's mostly made in-house.
Robertson (Square) drive are also gaining popularity in building decking applications in the U.S. I've seen quite a few options in Home Depot / Lowes stores in the Northeast. One of reasons they are less popular than Philips is the price as square drives are a little bit more expensive and tend to be offered at premium brand screws.
They're looking for matching pattern fragments. One good way to visualize how they're assessing that is to take a look at the Genome Projector's DNA walk view. Looks like this: https://i.imgur.com/z3etcmy.png

What they've done is assigned A/T/C/G to North/South/West/East and ended up with that walk plot. They go into some detail on the overview page about the significance of the plot, but overall point is that "DNA Walk makes patterns in the genomes sequences apparent. Clustering of repeats, palindromes, horizontally transferred genes, telomeres, and GC skew can be easily spotted using this visualization approach."

Interactive E. Coli link can be seen at http://www.g-language.org/g3/ (click on the DNA Walk tab view).
So, when are you developers going to build an End-User Development platform with decent engineering practices, to replace Excel for business users?
Yeah, I only want Javascript for when it actually speeds up a site. Which, from my experience, is simply:

AJAX for all form submissions
Service Worker for caching
Turbolinks[0] for page navigation

And those are easy to implement as progressive enhancements. If JS is disabled, the submit button does a regular page submit, the Service Worker is simply not registered and instead uses your web server's cache policy, and your links remain as regular hyperlinks.

For long haul air transport we would have to redesign engines, fuel systems, and airport infrastructure to use ethanol safely. And even then it would make flying less efficient because ethanol contains less energy. Synthetic kerosene or something similar would be an easier transition and give better results.
Congratulations on the launch. Some constructive criticism. Give your website some design love. It doesn't look like a company website. It looks like a side project right now. If I came across this site on my own I wouldn't even think about entering my credit card info.

It is fashion-driven, but that's not to say that it ignores what users want. Nobody was asking for bell bottoms or leisure suits either, but people bought millions of them. Customers will say "our site needs a refresh" or "our site looks dated", when what they mean is that, regardless of whether or not its functional, they seem old and stodgy compared to their competitors. This happens in brick-and-mortar too: restaurant or shop owners will remodel even if there's nothing really wrong with their existing shop functionally.

The real problem is that fashions are even possible on the web. This is what Ted Nelson calls the "triumph of typesetters over authors," and it's one of the great tragedies of the computer age. We could have had a real, global, hypertext system with working two way links and micropayments, but instead we got HTTP and HTML.
Hey joelhaasnoot! Thanks for letting us know.

That is definitely a bug in our pricing table. We'll correct that.
If a sufficiently interested botnet discovers your SSH server, it'll hammer your server with 10's of connections a second, from many different IPs. That doesn't take up enough bandwidth to be noticeable, but it can fill up the disk, when you're least expecting, which can cause all sorts of trouble.

Of course there are ways to deal with it, but that's just extra work.
Telegram sure thinks so haha
I think this is the future rise of the robots. It won't be Skynet, with clearly malicious bots trying to destroy humanity. It will be capricious and arbitrary bots, locking us out of our bank accounts and merchant accounts with little or no recompense. We've already seen it with Google, now here with Amazon. How soon until your phone gets turned off, and that's just the end?

Probably because there are little marks on the top of each pozidrive screws that indicate it is different. The don’t explain it in Europe either, it’s just a thing you should notice and account for when building stuff. I would put identifying pozidrive vs Phillips in the same camp as just knowing how to use a screw driver but perhaps I’m being harsh
I don't think this worry comes out of elitism. On the contrary, I think it comes from trying to protect the business users - as messy as their tooling already is - from the JavaScript culture.
I hope you're being specific in your wish for Equifax to be shut down and not the whole consumer credit reporting industry. That industry solves a very, very real problem for consumers, and countries without credit reporting also don't have consumer access to credit, making, among other things, finding mortgage loans virtually impossible.

The privacy angle is minuscule compared to the human costs of not having consumer debt.
[0] and [1] present zero evidence for supporting 60% as a current valid estimate. [0] even misrepresents the Morgan Stanley report (which actually supports my numbers, not his): http://blog.zorinaq.com/serious-faults-in-beci/#critic-6-aut...

Alex of Digiconomist is very good at writing long verbose paragraphs that "seem" to support his model, but when we look at his actual data and logic, it's full of holes, flaws, and poor assumptions.

One of the things we both agree on is that in the future (1 year? 10 years?) the ratio will tend toward 40 to 60%. But that doesn't say anything about the ratio as of today.
