I was meaning more for individuals, rather than businesses.

If your business is in G Suite, it is possible to migrate off as you do have your own domain name, just point your DNS records to your new server, and generate new mail accounts.

I was meaning more for personal use. I don't want my personal email address to be at the whim of Google, which it would be if I used an @gmail.com email address.

Obviously my email hosting is still at the whim of the host, who, like Google, can just cut my service if they want, but that's always a risk. I could host my email on DigitalOcean, but DO could cut my service. So I could host it on my home computer, but (ignoring spam filtering problems and uptime) my ISP could cut my service.
Nah its just stupid programming from Google. You will spook GMail if you try to access from different country. It will lock you out. Good luck trying to remember details about your decade old email account.

You thought knowing and maintaing strong password is enough to guarantee access. Well Google disagrees with you.
The company has indicated that service on the line could start as early as 2020
Yelp is not that innocent either, their "practices" are just as questionable, if not more questionable, than Google's.
It's insane that a mere ToS violation (not even anything criminal or large scale) on a different Google product got not only his account banned, but all related accounts across all Google products banned also.

It makes me really worry about things I have done that are truly against their ToS. For example after Google Cloud Platform announced a $300 credit promo for new users, I made another gmail account just to try them out. I don't think what I did is unethical or even against the spirit of their promo so I didn't bother to hide the connection back to my real gmail. Will google use this to ban my real google account one day? Probably not, but before this story I naively believed the answer was definitely no.
Sounds like a Salvador Dali's painting
If the line is full its going to free up road traffic which benefits everybody
It's the other way around for me. I use it as default on the desktop because I just type !g whenever the query is more complex. Most searches are still sth easy (or programming questions where DDG is really good) so I probably only use Google for 20-30% of queries. On the phone that's too much of a hassle (and my queries there are often more localized) so I keep using Google.

I think switching to DDG is worth it even if you only lower your usage to a certain degree. It means no company has your full profile anymore.
Wait, are we sure that this really happened? Seems very unlikely, and even the OP did not present any evidence. I would be really surprised if Google would be scanning emails, and using that to ban the gsuite account of the entire company.

A red flag for me is the claim that Google also blocked accounts that were set for recovery which seems almost close to impossible (or insane).
I couldn't agree more that "the Right" is retarded.

What drives me mad is both "the Right" and "the Left" is different sides of the same coin. Both has their fair share of retards and genuinely good people. Both point of views have both pros and cons.

Yet few bad apples on both sides seems to be stopping everybody else from productive discourse.

What is funny, "the Right" was getting more flack for quite a while. Thus they seem to be distancing themselves from their own retards more than "the Left". Good example could be UK. Corbyn's Labour seem to have quite a few issues with that. Meanwhile the right is nicely fragmented into more and less sane parts. Which, while causing it's own problems, does help them with their image. It looks like there's a similar pattern in many countries. IMO if "the Left" embraced it and let it's retards do their own thing, the whole society would benefit in the long run.
This is Firefox we're talking about, so yes it's popular. And this does happen far more than you're claiming. I'm not sure why you're still trying to push your angle honestly.

I wonder how long a student who didn't finish his assignment does the same and locks an entire school out, including their Chromebooks. A lot of schools seem to be migrating to google services.
A thousand times this. I don't mind if they mine crypto in Iceland or Quebec where they have 100% renewables but a lot of crypto mining is done using coal. In my opinion, fixing our planet should have a higher priority than inventing a new currency. If they'd at least use the money from BTC to fish plastic from the oceans I'd be fine, but currently it's just benefiting some large mining operations and hardware manufacturers.
Read whole article :)

Sometimes how you do it is far more interesting than what you do (but it might be a tad more complex to understand).
Are you aware that researchers voluntarily approach publishers? And if you are, what is your rationale in blaming the publisher?

>Here's a couple: a) Gatekeeping publishers keep research from being available to less-elite schools that can't afford the subscriptions, creating a rich-get-richer dynamic in science. Leveling the playing field will lead to more-better output.

>b) High subscription fees increase university fees, which translate directly into student loans.

Sorry, but I didn't find them convincing.

>As many have pointed out before, publicly funded research should be open access.

That, we agree on 100%.
Maybe not what you want, but you could do this using a regular pop3 client and set it to delete copies from the server.

Assuming no discounts for frequent use, $400 is less than a car payment, insurance, maintenance, and gas would be. If there are discounts it would be even more reasonable, especially for middle class families trying to decide whether or not to get a second vehicle.
Ask HN: How do you raise a seed round if you're not physically in the US
Hi HN

I have a startup with 3 co-founders. We're a registered Delaware C-corp.

- Operating for 11 months now

- 50 signups every week, 2,231 registered users

- 2-7k in revenue every month,

- 10% profit margin

- dedicated team

- Bootstrapped, and committed initial funds ourselves

However, we don't operate in the US, and our primary customers right now are in a developing country.

We plan to expand to multiple countries, because that was our goal all along, but we don't have the money to do it.

My question is: as someone not in the US, and with people who have no fund raising experience (but having read almost all the YC posts) how do we raise money. We have literally no idea how to start.

I mean, I've a lot of advice: "get an introduction to a VC", "don't cold email", "it's a numbers game", "it's not a numbers game", etc.

But literally, how do we start?

I agree with your comment.
Which adds a middleman! I think there is some serious misunderstanding of the relationship of middlemen and centralisation here.
What's commonly being debunked are particular systems for classification of individuals into learning styles, not the idea of learning styles in toto, or the idea of individuals being more inclined to/effective with a specific style. The naive way with many researches jump on the "so it's all a myth" bandwagon obscures the distinction. Here's how a meta-paper puts it:

"The dominant theme was a stated need to use a diverse range of teaching methods. This is a separate issue to the use of Learning Styles and there was no suggestion in the survey that to not use Learning Styles was to advocate for all students to be taught the same way, and/or to use only one method of teaching. Neither of these approaches are advocated by the wider literature which seeks to ‘debunk’ Learning Styles, but it is clear from the abundance of comments on this theme that these two issues were related in the view of many of the participants. This is supported by the emergence of the related theme of ‘styles of learning rather than Learning Styles’; many participants had a looser definition of ‘Learning Styles’ than those introduced early in the survey. This finding leads us to urge caution and clarity in the continued ‘debunking’ of the ‘myth’ of Learning Styles. Learners obviously have preferences for how they learn. In addition, there is an obvious appeal to using a variety of teaching methods and in asking students to reflect on the ways in which they learn. However, these three concepts are unrelated to the (unsupported) idea that there is a benefit to learners from diagnosing their ‘Learning Style’ using one of the specific classifications (Coffield et al., 2004) and attempting to match teaching to those styles. However, these concepts were clearly linked in the mind of many of our participants".

> I reckon that I could've finished my BSc in Computer Science in probably half the time required. I attended only about 2 weeks of lectures per semester, generally didn't start assignments more than a week before they were due, and didn't study more than about 3 days before the exam.

Something seems to be missing from your reasoning. What were you doing the rest of the time and beforehand? Are you sure it didn't involve computer science related activities? This would mean no reading blogs, HN, programming, no math puzzles, and also no toying with advanced computer use like IT related things.

That's the first requirement, otherwise you already spent a lot of time and effort learning comp sci.

The other requirement I see for your reasoning to hold true, is that none of the downtime in between courses, exams and assignments was needed for your brain to process the info and absorb it, to relax and be ready for the next mental effort, and for your motivation to keep up and not get bored or distracted.

There's also a third implicit, were you actually good and knowledgeable in comp sci, or just successful at passing your university's curriculum? If we suggest changing the system, we want it to produce equally or better qualified individuals. You mention that you've not followed the traditional route, and went at your own pace, which involved short bursts and big downtimes in between (presumably). Did this actually made you a better comp sci practitioner?
Real tech (hardcore stuff: chips, systems, radios, satellites, supercomputers, etc).

If you mean the latest subscription service for cat videos (or "like Uber, but for..." type trash) then no, the military doesn't help with those things.
Live lectures have the advantage that you can ask questions. However, nobody wants to ask questions (except mature students) as they don't want to hold up the lecture.

Most of my lectures at university were recorded. Whenever I watched them online I'd speed them up 1.3x, so a 1 hour lecture would only
take 45 minutes, with no negative effects, I could speed them up even faster, but I had to pay more attention and sometimes rewind. Unfortunately, some lecturers didn't record their lectures, it was their choice, which seems sort of silly and discriminatory to those students who couldn't make it in for whatever reason (illness, anxiety, etc...).

I personally see no reason why for a lot of subjects we couldn't have online lectures, where we could sit in the comfort of our bedroom, and ask any questions to the lecturer online.
Nowadays, I prefer Kakoune ( http://kakoune.org/ ) to vim. Being based on selections rather than movements feels much nicer. It feels a bit like always being in a kind of visual mode. That said, there are the following caveats:

* Vim tends to be installed/available almost everywhere, Kakoune isn't

* Vim has a much bigger ecosystem

* There are some very advanced features hidden in vim that most people don't know about. If you depend on those, substituting vim with another editor can be hard.
> I doubt anyone would ever launch a war funded on Bitcoin.

Why do you think that? You can store a lot of bitcoins on a single sheet of paper (private keys for wallets) so stealing it is a lot easier than precious metals. If any large nation ever really starts disliking BTC they'll just launch targeted operations to get hold of a large share of Bitcoins and destabilise the system. Similar to earlier times where enemy states printed fake money to destabilise monetary systems, bitcoin makes it easier because you don't need to move physical assets.
>Having fun is different from learning.

Yes, you can have fun without learning (e.g. at a strip club -- at least without learning something academic that is), and you can learn without having fun.

However you can't learn if you're bored out of your mind and tuned out, and having some fun in your learning helps with that.

Hopefully you'll be alive in 20 years too. It's the old adage about the best time to plant a tree. The US has been avoiding high speed rail for decades leaning on excuses about time & cost; it's a form of being crippled by short-term thinking.

Connecting Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, will take at least a decade, more likely closer to 15 years. There is no real scenario where it happens faster.

From El Paso you push to Tucson, Phoenix, Albuquerque.

From Houston you go to New Orleans.

From Dallas you go to Oklahoma City.

Then if other cities are smart at all and pick up some confidence about what can be done, and at a reasonable cost, you then see eg St Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Chicago all link up. And so on.

The model for the US will be regional high speed rail, rather than massive scale coast to coast approaches. Maybe eventually you get high speed interlinking between them.
Renoise is amazing. As someone who came from the Impulse Tracker / Scream Tracker 3 days, it blows my mind that we now have trackers with full support for VST effects (including Waves plugins) and VSTi instruments. It's the kind of stuff I dreamed about as a kid in the late 90s.

If you've ever heard music by Celldweller, Blue Stahli or Venetian Snares, they've all used Renoise for some of their music.
>This still misses the point. If the goal was always to produce a fast program because the end user wanted speed, then why were you ever writing that pure Python version to start with?

Tons of reasons. Some companies will opt for what's fashionable -- e.g. Electron SPA's today. Or with what's cheaper to churn out. Or have their users locked in and could not care less, just use what's cheapest and fastest to get something out.
How many customers read your blog? That post has 225 comments. From that base, 90 people expressing interest in a feature sounds HUGE.

I don't care about that feature... but this HN thread is the first I'd noticed that 1Password 7 for Windows actually exists and finally brings back local vault support. I care very much about that. I'd have liked to know about that the minute a public beta landed. But... I spend approximately 0 minutes a day thinking about ways I could better engage with AgileBits.

Maybe y'all could spare some minutes to figure out how to better engage with me, a customer who gave you some money 3+ years ago and has hardly heard a peep from you since.
Keep in mind that Coinbase always had to expect being banned by other companies if they adapt a no-crypto currency. I would've been very careful putting all infrastructure on some easily scalable cloud service. You'd probably want to be able to run with at least two cloud providers at the same time (preferably two providers from different jurisdictions). That means you'll have to build a lot of scale infrastructure yourself.
The dollar's value derives, in great part, from the existence of the US military. It uses far more energy per year than Bitcoin does.

And...

Genuine economic activity in crypto-currencies represents roughly %0.00000000000000000000001 of the economic activity transacted in dollars. How much energy would be required for crypto-currencies in a one to one comparison?

Let's not forget the US military may in fact serve some other functions as well.
IANAA but here is a wild guess; stars are limited to the sizes we see because they accrete from a swirling gas/dust. after they begin fusion (thousands of years after) and photons are reaching the surface the nascent star begins emitting a stellar wind which pushes back the in-falling gas/dust which limits how big they can get. the important bit is how much more energy is in the stellar wind than the void it is pushing into.
The early universe was hotter less void, solar wind had less advantage and more gas/dust continued to accrete. If ever a still growing star approached black hole mass, solar wind is extinguished and in-fall is in unimpeded forever. (for human values of forever)

but I would go with what raattgift says over this wild speculation
It may obstruct something by remaining standing when the driver wanted to just make a quick stop.

I don't know that much about databases, could you go into more detail?
Agree entirely.

This should apply to all cloud services. If you use them for anything critical, total migration and DR should be part of your exit strategy for if anything like this happens. Everything you have in the cloud should be backed up in neutral formats off line on your property.

I’ve had a couple of run ins with google and personal accounts a few years back. Once my sign in was broken for two weeks. I couldn’t sign in with it showing a non descript error. I couldn’t find or get anyone to help. If this was anything business critical then it would have been pack up and go home.

Google apps support is notoriously crap as well. Been there, done that, left quickly.
This I agree with. I even run my nameservers different to my registrar, meaning that if my registrar has technical issues I can still control the domain routing. If the nameserver company has issues, I can still change nameservers.

Yes. So insane one suspects it may not be true.

> My optimal work situation would be a commute of up to half an hour (15 minutes in each direction) and working 9am to 4pm.

I certainly agree to that but as you say, this is hard to get. A short commute is probably better than no commute (to prime your brain for the different environment) but most service sector jobs focus on large cities (since few people appear to be willing to move to the country side).
Do you have recommendations for actually anonymous leaseable VPS/Seedboxes? Just buying some bitcoin on Coinbase defeats the purpose. Can I mail cash somewhere?
As a Google Apps/For work admin I also have experienced really hostile policies and support in the past. Its really shortsighted of Google because now they want companies to use their GCP platform which I find insane.
I don't like the notion of paying with your data. You pay with your attention (ad views) and your money (purchases off ads). Data helps making this more efficient but you don't pay Google at all. I also don't pay a TV station that shows me ads or a free newspaper.

It honestly sounds like Yelp is just salty at the fact that their SEO marketing isn't as effective as it used to be because of Google's improvement to their search engine algorithms.

Also, it's laughable that of all companies, Yelp is the one complaining about Google.
I'd really like to hear Google's side of this story, since the story as-written doesn't seem plausible.
How many hours was spent on that month prior per given exam prep?

Did you have any prior exposure to comp sci? Had programmed before? Had spent a lot of time on math? Read about comp sci, blogs, articles, books?

What does 1st class marks pulled down to a 2 mean?

How qualified do you feel you are now compared to your coworkers who followed a more traditional style?

Do you think you could have done this one month prior exam cramming 12 months in a row with equal success and without losing the motivation to keep it going?
There’s a joke that lectures are how professors are doing spaced repetition of their basic knowledge :-) It also gives them the opportunity to advertise the books they’ve written
Everyone who mentions wanting to "visual stuff" and or games gets a recommendation from me to expose themselves to two things, 1) Processing 2) Lua Love. Regardless of someones platform or end goal, these two systems are great for prototyping ideas.

"A red flag for me is the claim that Google also blocked accounts that were set for recovery which seems almost close to impossible (or insane)."

Why should that be impossible? They are clearly linked (you have to own to other account, to accept it beeing used as the recovery account of the first one).

And the intention of google is probably to fight scammers etc. - and I can imagine it disrupts them a bit, if all associated accounts get banned. So I can imagine that it is a real case ... of collateral damage

Edit: stating of how I see the situation from the perspective of google, does not mean I approve it, and neither collateral damage in general
FWIW - I've been working from home for maybe 10 years now and I personally don't have a problem with focus (even with a toddler shouting 'papa' very loudly every half hour :).

But in all the jobs I've done there is a gradual erosion of communication with in-office teams which can only be remedied by regular office visits.

Not sure what I can do to remedy this; office visits are hard (the office is in a different country), Slack ends up being noise, and emails, well who has time for emails? The only thing that seems to help is regular video calls; which is time consuming.

I remember that the chap who runs Automattic uses P2 (a Wordpress theme) to communicate with his team; I've tried to use the corporate Confluence/Jira in the same way but it never seems to take hold.
