Ask HN: How do you host your email/cal/files (using your own domain)?
Who knows a company that offers:
– email, calendar, file hosting using a
– custom domain with
– servers in Europe and a
– beautilful UI?

Currently using ZOHO, but it's incredibly buggy. Self hosting is not really an option as I find email too complex to host it myself reliably

What alternatives are you using and happy with?
Neat idea for a minimal slack experience.

However if all you want is a low bandwidth text only slack alternative to use with slow and glitchy cellular I’ve got an excellent alternative:

wee-slack + mosh

https://github.com/wee-slack/wee-slack

wee-slack gives you a minimal terminal based slack client within weechat and mosh handles ssh connections over low bandwidth, high latency connections.

React Native is native. There’s no HTML. You’re using JSX (probably) which is basically XML in JavaScript (it’s not as bad as it sounds) to build native UI. Can’t stress the native bit enough.

Where React Native differs from truly Native is that UI orchestration is batched into chunks on the JS side and sent asynchronously to a native receiver, which then applies those changes to the native side. This means that currently if your JS thread gets blocked, or the main thread gets blocked, your app will snag. Performance is a top priority for React Native and it mostly fulfills that goal too. It’s not hard to keep your app running at 60fps.
Yeah, I didn't mean it disparagingly or jokingly. Some places in Thailand quite openly cater to all proclivities. (Once when I was backpacking there, some guy came out of a side alley and approached me saying "young girls, beautiful girls!" and when I said no thank you, immediately switched to "young boys, beautiful boys?")
Infinito Wallet Review
RN isn't a wrapped HTML renderer like Phonegap. It uses bridge code to render native UI powered by JS business logic. You still write in JSX, which makes layout pretty straightforward. With some careful optimisation, I had pretty solid 60fps scrolling performance on 1000 item/image lists on old Android devices.
Makes sense. I can think of a lot of other, mass-accepted, lower hanging fruit we could blame for reprehensible behavior before we point out finger at art, music, movies, cartoons and video games, but that's a whole other can of worm that's not worth opening.
> I tend to agree fully with your assessment of the labels, but is it a coincidence that people's behavior online during these kinds of situations are divided already? And the labels aren't creating the divide, but only describing it?

Yes they're divided already but not nearly as neatly as red/blue. Being that unnecessarily divisive (and I've been just as guilty as anyone) pushes people further apart, even people that agree on a lot more than they realise. On the flip side, when you agree with someone simplifying like that it just pulls your bubble tighter and tighter, you can lose perspective on how the other side really feels, which is usually much less extreme than the built up charicature.
In a more equal world like the western one we both (probably) live in, absolutely. In a place with strong gender roles (like the one in the article), being successful and female means being purposefully contrarian and acutely aware of gender roles; hence I would trust a female Chinese businesswoman more by default than their male counterparts because she operates in a gendered society.

My point is we have strong evidence people's behavior is effected by society. So in a society with strong gender roles its easier to make assertions about specific genders with less information because of how gender roles operate.

How a language with nested list and dict comprehensions can ever claim to focus on readability is beyond me, or look at typing and the mess that leaves behind. One obvious way of doing things while simultaneously mixing oop and functions arbitrarily in their standard library even providing camelCase and snake_case aliases(!) for parts of it. And why does the base64/b64encode return bytes and hashlib/hexdigest str?

Python is designed in such a strangly arbitrarily inconsistent, hypocritical and opinionated manner.

Phonegap is pure crap in my mind. React Native is much much better, but still has it's issues. Also, it's not HTML based, you write JavaScript code to drive native components.

People make an inference to the best explanation. How does it work?

There are thousands of factors at play but the credibility of the authors of the theory plays a huge role. Most conspiracy theorists are self-learned "experts" not from the field of inquiry but often coming from other scientific disciplines that provide them with the air of some scientific credibility even if they are laymen in the area of inquiry. In fact, that's such a hallmark of conspiracy theories that I would call those without that property "alternative theories" instead.

In case of Shakespeare, many other theories are just alternative theories, I suppose. Anyway, unless you're an expert yourself the credibility of the authors is key.

Look I'm not much of a google fan either but if you are a news aggregator or search engine and you have to figure out who owns each text snippet and what it costs and have an accounting and billing infrastructure to go with it, would you rather do that or simply not show the snippets? Google is one of the few entities who could afford to implement this, but as you say the giants with massive market share will just make a deal with the publishers to not pay the fees in exchange for exposure, and everyone else will be stuck with having to police their users in case they quote some news article. The main victims of this will be small forums and entities like wikinews. Google and Facebook will, as always, get away with it because the publishers depend on them. This law is disastrous for everyone else.

A premise that there's less racism in Europe than in the US is just wrong (I'm a European who've spent a lot of time in the US for work and school). US is the PC capital of the world (for better or worse). There's just not a whole lot of non-white folks in Europe even now.
This is an interesting saga I didn't hear anything about when it was happening. I recall seeing that Pixiv had launched an instance, but I'm honestly shocked that it took off like it did. It makes sense that it was appealing to artists in part due to a more lax policy regarding sensitive images.

The author would've done themselves a significant favor by not wasting a bunch of space on an attempt to neutrally and imprecisely classify 'red' and 'blue' groups before dispensing with the neutrality halfway through. The neutrality wasn't especially helpful in the first place, but his "free speech" and "safe speech" labels later on are (from my interpretation of everything he describes in the series of events) both clearer and more neutral than any attempt to group sides together as 'SJWs' or 'aGG' or 'MRAs' or whatever because it describes the general point of view underlying their behavior. It may not describe those groups as entire individuals but it seems to accurately classify most of the split here - people seeking mastodon instances that are a Safe Environment (hence the incredible threat posed by federated instances not honoring privacy settings) vs people seeking mastodon instances that are moderation-light and rules-light where they can do whatever they like. The legal threat posed to server operators by caching is an interesting side angle that puts the operators in a nasty spot.

It sucks that issues with fair treatment of French and Japanese speakers on Mastodon have to get sidelined by getting pulled into right-vs-left US culture wars - what Japanese artists choose to post on social media really shouldn't have anything to do with how Americans feel about concentration camps or no-platforming. In a sense, even this attempt to depict the way Japanese users were impacted by this whole saga falls flat because it centers the western parties ('red' and 'blue') in the story despite the fact that the Japanese users featured in it outnumber them.

On a final note, it's interesting to see Twitter described as Blue here, as at the present time Twitter's company leadership is actively and openly courting the right wing in business meetings and online discussions (including "alt-right" leaders), presumably for business reasons but perhaps for others. I guess the political winds shift quickly.
I do occasional business in China and Taiwan, the sex thing has never come up ... But threating, drinking and general socialising around business in Chinese, and more generally in Asian culture is something that I think is really healthy ...

In the west we negotiate a deal, maybe voices get raised a bit, people argue, we do a deal, people go away a bit pissed ...

In China all that arguing still happens but after we go out and socialise, we drink and eat together, and we become friends so we can work together on this thing we've agreed to do together

As I said I think the Chinese way, at least the way I've experienced, is more healthy

When people adopt a behavior, no matter how damaging, it's because they get something out of it. What might people be getting out of such a polarized worldview? Maybe they'd rather ally themselves with half the world, and be the enemy of the other half, instead of feeling vaguely indifferent about everyone.

You are probably right, with the same opportunities and power, women should cheat as much as men.

But if it was the wife cheating in public, i'm pretty sure no one would have made a deal with her and her husband would have been warned within the hour. Women are not faultless, but those in power have to hide their faults and vulnerabilities harder than men.
Several years ago, in my mid 40's, I was on the job hunt. I interviewed at several companies that seemed to love me and even flew me to the HQ for an interview (D.C., Utah, etc.) Most of the companies were the same; lots of young people sitting/standing at long tables in open offices. I didn't receive a single offer from any of them, with most of the replies being along the lines of "not a culture fit". I can't say for sure what that means but it sure sounds like ageism to me.

Interestingly, I landed my current gig with only phone interviews. I didn't even see my co-workers until 2 months after I was hired and we all met at a central location for a 2 day "summit".

Hi friends!

Keep in mind that this project was a lark that Nicki (http://www.nickivance.com/) and I literally made in the back of a van for her exact use case.

My article is a fun writeup of the design considerations and challenges of an email-only UI. It's not supposed to be a marketing piece, to convince you to (not) use the service, or to pass moral judgment on anyone's preferred communication medium.

I should also point out that emailing the app a Slack token is the same as emailing it a password, since the token allows it to read/write messages on your behalf (which is, of course, the whole point). Sending passwords around via email has security implications, which I'm sure you (a thoughtful, attractive, and considerate HN reader) can come to your own conclusions about based on your personal needs and risk preferences.
That is the whole point of this "war". People not being able to understand or accept a culture and having to reduce it to something they can grasp or argue about.

Commuting is pure misery, especially driving, and people tend to underestimate the effect of that. Avoiding a 3 hours/day commute is more than enough to explain why you'd be much happier/healthier/... even if everything else in your life had gone downhill. (A happy marriage is also a well-known source of happiness/contentment/etc.). I don't think the change in your wellbeing has anything to do with local cheeses or lack of temperature control or anything like that; if you'd switched to working from home and married but stayed in your climate-controlled big house you'd see the same improvement, maybe even a bigger one.

We should certainly work towards improving ourselves but I dont think we can grow unless we learn to respect each other's differences, even when we dont like them.

Certainly nobody is coercing anyone into going to strip clubs to close business deals and you can always walk away. Of course you will be walking away from a business opportunity but life is full of hard choices. We don't get to change the rules of the game just because we don't like the outcome.

The concept of red and blue tribes described by Scott Alexander [1] isn't so much about belief, but environment, upbringing, and who you associate with.

It's a convenient term for describing the sides in certain situations that devolve into these kind of identitarian tribal battles. I think it's appropriate for this Mastodon discussion. The people with a wider spectrum of belief and no strong tribe affiliation generally aren't the people engaging in these intense social media "wars".

It's a descriptive, not a prescriptive, explanation.

Google and Facebook have done a Lot of things to mitigate privacy concerns. Both have decent controls, you can see your data, delete data, see apps that have access, etc.

Sure, privacy issues aren't solved, largely because people don't care, don't understand the tools, and marketing companies are ever more aggressive.

But to say that Google and Facebook have done nothing in the face of public outrage is wrong.

Ask HN: $500,000 of copyright infringement on Envato, what to do?
I have a product that was sold on Envato to 12,000 people for $39 by someone I do not know.

I have contacted Envato about it and they asked me to fill a DMCA claim because they say they are a platform.

I did a bit of my own research and it seems that Envato is not a safe harbour (https://www.pc.gov.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0011/194744/sub080-intellectual-property.pdf).

This looks impressive but it doesn't seem to account for hung ISP modems. It's a pretty common issue with consumer-grade service.

I think generally speaking, lowering housing costs isn't to allow a homeless person to save up for a deposit and rent an apartment. It's to increase the likelyhood that the sibling they always got along with will have a spare room, or to increase the buffer between losing a job and being on the streets, or to make it so the old friend doesn't mind it that much that somebody is sleeping in their spare room, since they have a spare room.

On the individual level, I expect the reason why people stay is that being homeless makes you very dependent on local knowledge and social network. Knowing what bins contain food, where is good shelter, which police officers are dangerous, and so on - is very important. If you move city, you're not suddenly going to have the kind of money to pay a deposit. You'll just be homeless in a place you don't know. That, and a lot of homeless people have jobs.

While React Native is constantly being improved, to use it in its current form, one has to be very aware of its under-developed parts, and more importantly, make them aware of by designers and PMs.

Surely for any "fancy" feature one may think of doing with RN, there are always some libraries, plugins, tutorials, solutions that exist in the vast ecosystem trying to help. But more often than not they eventually lead into a maintenance/integration nightmare, simply because how fast the whole mobile industry moves and leaves things behind.

Therefore, I suppose that a wise approach is what I would call "React Native-first design": let the whole team (PMs, designers, devs) know that anything that is not officially supported by React Native and without caveats is off the limit -- just try to avoid the design until it is fully supported.
They could look for requests to things like Windows/MacOS update servers, URLs that phones will never be accessing basically.

Question: in the list comprehension example, is `x` defined outside the loop comprehension? Will it overwrite an existing `x`? Or is it like `z` and only visible inside the loop comprehension? The latter would make more sense, I think.
