The Best Credit Dude
I was sitting close to two women in a train some time ago when I overheard them talking happily about their credit reports. I joined in with intention to seek advice regarding my troubling credit state, one of them opened up to me about her once bad credit report and how she employed the services of a hacker who deleted her collections, medical bills, student loans and a bankruptcy replacing them with positive items; And even raised her score to 700+ rom 400. I was shocked and couldn’t digest it becuase it sounded all strange to me. Anyways she gave me his email (Cybergod@writeme.com) and I contacted him days later, he replied and we got talking. I explained my credit situation, late payments, liens and accrued debts. Long story short I was happy and blessed to have met Anie who referred me to CYBERGOD. My credit score took a big leap, negative items gone and 4 primary trade lines was added to my report. I was awed beyond words. This is my way of saying ‘thank you’ to this wonderful hacker.

One of the things that amazes me is that it is still not possible to do an ab initio quantum mechanics calculation of the rotational spectrum of even a diatomic molecule with sufficient accuracy to allow identification from measured spectra. Two atoms, and we can't precisely calculate the spectrum. There's lots of room for more computing power.

That's lovely, but didn't answer the question. But I can see that perhaps I offended you, I was just curious, so sorry.
not quite - I'm trying to implement existing proofs into an axiomatic system. All unproven theorems can be classified as the "don't know" outcome. But I don't know what approach to use to implement a system that can look at "f(x: int) => x is cleanly divisible by 2 ? f(x + 1) : halt" and tell me that this recursive function all halt under all valid inputs. Because that would require that it be able to derive such a fact from a core understanding of what addition and division mean.

Ask HN: Why are SF startup salaries stagnant?
In the Bay Area for early stage startups, I'm still seeing a common salary offer of 140K. Contrast that with Lincoln, Nebraska, I've seen a couple of posting for devs up to 160K (https://bit.ly/2MRqmRI ).

Meanwhile the big players, Facebook, Google, have distanced themselves with comp packages in the 300-500K range (with RSUs).

Can confirm, my 2010 Snow Leopard is still my main workhorse despite being used every day with demanding design programs, and replacing the battery / RAM once (and being dropped several times, imagine that).

At this point I'm honestly not sure what I'll replace it with - hoping to extend its lifespan for at least another 5 years which is ironically looking possible.

Not that I'd want a return to the vendor wars per se, but I feel like the 90s were an interesting time for Free *nixen in part because there were so many competing alternatives to draw inspiration from.

A great deal of mindshare has been eaten up by Linux. And Linux has largely "grown up" and has incorporated many ideas (and in some cases code) from the commercial Unixes. But I do wonder how many people are out there who have broad perspective and ability to push things forward at the OS level.

Also, back in the 90s I feel like systems programming was cooler and had more cachet. Even if people weren't actively writing code for their OS of choice, the icons of programming were the folks working on the guts. Nowadays, I think the cool stuff is all happening pretty far up the stack, and that there are relatively few people working on the substrate.

That's just my impression though. I'd be delighted for someone to look at kernel and system contributions to Linux, IllumOS, and the BSDs and convince me that there is sustainable mindshare to go around, and that all these OSes have a bright future.
FB has the right to censor anything, they're a private owned company after all. They could censor anything with a right wing bent at all for example, and it'd be perfectly acceptable, unless the government took over facebook, and we had communism instead of democracy.

Freedom of speech only goes so far as the government can't block speech on public land, etc. Private businesses can expel people for using foul language/etc and disrupting other customers.
Not OP, but I’m guessing is because Redis supports pub sub patterns, while for SQLite you’d need to do polling, which is slower.
This may not amount to much for Pakistani people. The forces and judiciary are so pathetically weak that they couldn't force the PM and his Daughter and his sons to remain inside of Pakistan - so what if the PM's wife is sick in London (which we don't even know if it's true) - let her die alone because she and her life is worthless for Pakistani people. For months the PM's daughter barked daily in front of masses against the judiciary yet received full security protocol and no judge's order was put forward to muzzle her rabid speeches.

And then there is the magical softening of stance overnight and miracle reduction of punishments which Pakistani judges are famous for - absolute joke. I won't be surprised at all if at the end of day, all he gets is a 'warning' and 'stern lecture'.

Finally, PM in question and his family aren't the only corrupt folks in Pakistan - the other 'dynasty' is the PPP-clan of Bhuttos/Zardaris -- now watch them flee scotch-free from Pakistan.

And the icing on cake - UK/UAE/Swiss are among nations which actively harbor corrupt and dangerous Pakistani individuals, have granted them/their families citizenship, and allow them to bring their illegal wealth - these Govts will not send the wealth or the individuals back to Pakistan. Perhaps Pakistani ISI should learn from Israel's Mossad.
however, that MVP - used in a test environment - can lead to much more useful feedback from real people on the ground in days or weeks, vs years to build then deploy then getting ignored because it doesn't do what the users need.

There's a balance to be found, and it sounds like some of these skunkworks approaches are starting to get more formalized.

Former Reddit admin and automoderator creator Diemos has launched an alternative site, as-yet invite-only, Tildes (https://tildes.net). I've been exploring that over the past few weeks, and am positively impressed. It's young yet and small, but shows promise, a sane and healthy community (sharply contrasting both Voat and Imzy in this regard), and some innovative and positive technical features, as well as an expressly member-driven, donor-supported, model.

There's plenty of opportunity to go wrong, but the launch looks good so far.

Reddit are certainly providing a golden window of opportunity.

Especially because momentum is not nearly as free on a bike than on something with a somewhat powerful motor. You can go faster if you don't need to accelerate as much (due to breaking or inclination). I would like a sort of flywheel or so, something able to store energy for a few minutes and dump it about as fast as the traction allows. Even if it has to be manually switched between slow and fast acceleration based on whether conditions with a tool, that'd be fine. And then just give me something for my thumb to work or so that either uses the same setting to decide the breaking force, or allow full control over it. It shouldn't be too hard to do.

And no, an electric motor won't cut it, due to power density. I don't want it to be limited to 500 W or so, I want it to have more than that. And mechanics have much more power density than electromagnetics.
This claim sticks in the throat of a lot of Europeans, because of the visible level of inequality in the US. We see many of your citizens suffering in ways that simply wouldn't happen in our countries; we struggle to find a charitable way of reconciling that with the claim that America is the best country.

If you're the richest and most powerful nation in history, why do you have the highest incarceration rate in the world? Why do so many sick and injured Americans end up bankrupt or die prematurely? Why do parts of Michigan look post-apocalyptic? Why are many of your schools still de-facto segregated? Why is there a Wikipedia article titled "List of tent cities in the United States"?

We could understand a claim like "America is really weird - we're ridiculously wealthy, but our government is profoundly dysfunctional in ways that are hard to fix, which causes a great deal of avoidable suffering". That makes sense to us. A claim like "America is the greatest country the world has ever seen" sounds obscenely callous without some very strong caveats attached.

It's not the same. It's much easier to do dosing with water since they're soluable and can be evenly dispersed. The different in medium with dirt makes this much hard. There will also be build up of unused nutrients that throw off the proportions. The build up of nutrients and non-uniform distribution can make the crops vulnerable to various side effects including nutrient burn. This build up in hydroponics is mitigated by periodically flushing and replacing the water system.
Looking for co-founder
Hello Hacknews Community,

My name is AJ Picard, I'm the founder of a startup called Chad!

Chad will be a new social media platform, we're currently looking for a developer to join our team as a co-founder.

This person needs to be able to code using Swift or React Native, along with having backend development knowledge.

We're currently in an accelerator in NYC called 2020 Startups building traction and connections each week.

If we're both working well together and want continue to work together we will offer this person equity with a one year cliff. After that year the developer can leave or stay on board with us and continue to gain even more equity each year.

We want someone who is going to be excited about the project and want to build a relationship with our team.

We have all the wireframes completed for Chad that we can provide for you so you can start developing as well.

If you're interested in this job please email us and we would love to answer all your questions and go deeper into conversation about the opportunity!

The bigger issue for the FAA is culture. Flight is so safe because all of those safty measures are taken seriously. Whenever exceptions are made, there is a risk of normalizing devience, and standards will slowly erode until a disaster shakes us back (and even a disaster is no guarantee to a return to anything near our current level of standards.) Building a safety culture as strong as aviation is hard, and the FAA doesn't like risking it.
I mean, it's kind of a half-truth, isn't it? We know that this sort of manipulation is going on in an organized way: Sybil attacks are pretty common in politics.

But it's insidious precisely because of this Patomkin-effect: it makes it unclear how many real supporters the issue has, and it gives an easy cop-out for people who would be otherwise responsible for their own defeat.

In a way, it becomes a scapegoat that can unite friend and foe.

I think the reason a lot of US citizens focus on what the US has done wrong is not so sinister. It's because citizens of this country have the power to affect this country's public policy.

It's weird how a lot of people simultaneously hold a view of the US as an uncorruptible beacon of freedom but can also name heinous things the US is doing or has done that they hate. Not paying sufficient deference to the former ideal (often, dispensing with it as perfunctory performance in the vein of a daily pledge of allegiance to a flag) often makes people think that the US is regarded as especially evil.

Thanks for the awesome feedback!

> That being said, I think you're inviting a lot of ill will by calling your project "the best", "in the world", etc.

I understand that viewpoint, and I'm definitely sympathetic to it. But I've spent a lot of time digging into this (as mentioned elsewhere--don't build when you can buy) and from my perspective I feel it's true. I'll change it when facts on the ground change. =)

You are correct in that right now the incentives to purchase are lopsidedly presented. Working on that this weekend, as it happens. Thing is, though, TaskBotJS is super useful, right now, as its open source release, and because it's super useful (I'm using it now on a project to make sure I keep tabs on how the developer experience of the OSS release feels) I wanted to get it out there for people to play with.

Which is why I am comfortable dealing with the lopsided nature of its marketing for a bit. The reason that I'm offering a pro version with feature gates is largely because 1) I want to use this for the long haul, 2) financial incentives need to align for me to be able to spend time on it, 3) I'm that convinced it's that good, and 4) selling pure support without a "you also get feature X, Y, and Z" is a conceptually more difficult road.

As a consultant I pretty regularly find myself going "you might want to consider Sidekiq Pro, because of support and also because batches will save your bacon", to which clients look at it, try it, and are comfortable paying for that (and also getting the support that, IMO, they need); I am doing likewise.

> Finally, this work is dual licensed, how are you dealing with external contributions?

I have a CLA and a rights grant I need to wire up to GitHub. Which totally does exclude some people from contributing, and I realize that. I built this with the expectation that I would be the overwhelmingly primary committer and I expect most open-source stuff to be plugins, etc.--people scratching their own itch, as I have with this.

You're absolutely right! Tech has made things worse!

With that said, it might be worth discussing where the blame for the problem that has been made worse might lie. To aggravate an underlying problem, one has to already exist. So let's talk about that problem, and its causes, rather than casting aspersions on every group who contributed marginally after the fact - that's a very long list, and it's not even a useful list.

Then maybe, having identified the problem and the causes, we can see about solving it. So let's talk about zoning, prop 13, and the way construction permitting processes work and the political systems that support them!
You're absolutely right.

Now they do even less of anything than they did in 2009, seeing as how passive investing has been essentially proven to be the better strategy for 99.9% of people and the other 0.01% of actors represents large HFT firms that are not reliant on any one individual manager's insight and knowledge.

> The objections to Privacy Shield, like Safe Harbor before it, are mostly about the US government itself having rights under US law to gain access to that data

No, and I rarely hear that as the main concern.

The main concern with Safe Harbor et al. (where US businesses are dealing with EU businesses and – more importantly – EU people) is commercial abuse of data (Facebook!) and data breaches.

Government access isn't seen as particularly problematic in criminal and anti-terror cases, but in mass surveillance of Internet and telephone connections, as well as in the context of industrial espionage.
Why do you say it's very difficult to migrate away from Reddit?

Most small-mid sized reddits have less than 20 primary contributors. If most of those contributors leave for an alternative community than a large portion of the reddit community will follow. If an admin is onboard than it will be easy to post a link to the new community on the sidebar to help migration. Plenty of online interest groups do not have their primary community hosted in reddit. Plenty of online interest groups have migrated their primary community to different platforms in the past. You might say that those <20 people will not want to leave reddit. I'd argue that reddit power users are, on average, more upset about recent changes than the average user.
