Thanks @JeremyNT! Mattermost team here. May I ask which Mattermost version you're running? Also, what features would you like to see?

We ship new improvements monthly, so if you're on an older release you could quickly add a lot of features: emoji reactions, GIF selector, custom emojis, Slack-compatible keyboard shortcuts, hashtags, slash comments, Slack-compatible integrations, etc.
I hear you. Sorry about this! What other countries are you considering?
Unless I missed it, they may have forgotten Andy Rubin as well. It's interesting how both Android and iPhone has connections to General Magic.
What they're saying is their tax advantage over a competitor translates directly into more competitive advantage being bought. If it all went to dividends paid out, it would actually be more fair to the competitors in this way. But since it's reinvested, it makes competing with them even more difficult.
I've definitely found that preemptive threading is a lot more successful than hoping others will cooperatively thread the conversation
> And as somebody who currently is working on supply chain logistics involving shipping items to the US from China, I was also unaware that there was a program where the US taxpayer would fund our costs. Can you point me to such a program please? It would help me tremendously.

I think the grandparent is referring to this:

https://www.quora.com/Why-are-Chinese-goods-so-cheap-to-ship...

"Under current rules, those charges (called terminal dues) are set ludicrously low for certain countries, among them China. (Under UPU rules, for example, China, the world’s second-largest economy, gets the same break on terminal dues as do Gabon and Botswana.) This means that the USPS actually charges China Post less to deliver a package from China into the U.S. than it charges a U.S. business or customer to deliver a similar size package within the 48 states. The post office is losing money on every package it delivers from China — costs it has to pass on to its own American customers, not to mention U.S. taxpayers."

Are you saying shipping from China has no advantages whatsoever?

Can you explain how this product costs $1 and ships worldwide for free?

I am starting to believe that safety and security online are unattainable. Every approach one can take to protect themselves seems like a castle built on sand.

I agree, but that's all I could find in a quick search.

Anyway, if you read between the lines and realize that some orgs wouldn't behave normatively, you can imagine some scenarios where the OP could be right.

I wish more people would have answered, thanks!
I sure wouldn't call this progressivism of any sort, for that matter.
Amazon quarterly earnings are double what was expected
The wikipedia article says you can travel the diameter of our galaxy (including coming to a stop relative to your destination) in 24 years ship time and 226,000 years Earth time. The sun will enter the end of its lifecycle in about 7.6 billion years so you'd have to make over 30 thousand such trips from one end of the galaxy to the other, putting you at over 700,000 years old.

Traveling between galaxies is another matter, however. The distance from the edge of the Milky Way to Andromeda is about 2.5 million light years. That journey would take 55 years ship time or slightly more than 2.5 million years Earth time and Andromeda really isn't that far on the scale of galaxies. Leaving a solar system might still allow some sort of interplanetary trade (in historic items mostly, since they'd be pretty old by the time they got anywhere) but leaving a galaxy means cutting all ties forever.

Don't worry about it. You can travel from the Milky Way to Andromeda and back 1500 times before the sun explodes.
Traditional Meat Producers Are Lobbying President Trump Over Cultured Meat
Knative Project Should Move to CNCF Now – StackSense
Lotta hate for Mountain View in the comments here, which is ironic because with this ordnance Mountain View is trying to fix a problem that tech companies get a lot of hate on HN for. I've got mixed feelings about this, so I'll try and explain both sides:

The problem MV's fixing is the perception that highly-paid tech workers have become a class of their own, isolated from the larger communities in which they live and insulated from negative social consequences in the communities around them. When you get paid a high salary, eat at work, only socialize with coworkers, have all your logistic needs taken care of by your rich employer, and only go home to sleep, it's really easy to feel like your city's problems are other peoples' problems. In other threads on HN, you will see plenty of mudslinging about tech workers who step over homeless people on their way to work or kick neighborhood teams off a public basketball court so they can play a company game.

The Village at San Antonio is supposed to be exactly the type of mixed-use, mixed-income development that urban planners salivate over today. It's got a mix of luxury apartments and affordable housing over street-level retail, connected by pedestrian thoroughfares to the office space that Facebook is about to rent. There are over a dozen restaurants within walking distance, ranging from Chili's, Veggie Grill, and Sajj to The Counter burgers to upscale sit-down places, along with a Walmart, a Safeway, and a Whole Foods. The whole point is to fix all the problems with tech insularity and wealth polarization that everyone complains about here.

OTOH, the cynic in me says that it won't actually do a damn thing about this, and that tech workers will stand around talking to each other and ignoring the locals in line for Veggie Grill while the service workers around them eat at the Walmart cafeteria. And the only effect will be to reduce efficiency for people who could otherwise just grab free food, take it back to their desk, and get back to work. A lot of the point of the free cafes at Google was to cut out the friction of deciding where to eat, walking there, and paying, and instead just focus on the job we had to do.

There's no free lunch. Sometimes it turns out our desires are contradictory, and the flip side of intangibles like community engagement are reduced efficiency and heavy-handed regulation.
That's how good IP hygiene works. Blame the legal system.
> If the memory consumption of a process grows from 200 M (which is about what the chat apps use when freshly started) to 2 Gb, something is rotten by any metric.

That is just not how memory works anymore, at least not how the OS reports it to you.

> The system was responding slowly when I made that screenshot because it started using swap.

How did you determine this? If you're looking at swap usage in activity monitor, this is also not an accurate metric. I'm sitting here with 14GB used, 18GB free and 2GB of swap usage. Using swap does _not_ mean you are out of ram, it just doesn't work like that.

Is the memory pressure graph in activity monitor yellow or red? If not, which is likely the case, you don't have memory issues. You don't need more memory and it doesn't matter how much memory your applications are using.
USD: 99% goods and services, 1% speculation. BTC: 1% goods and services, 99% speculation. It's not that BTC is bad, it's just that its not being adopted as a currency.

We were promised warp fields and Vulcans, and instead we put cars in places they have no business being.
Even worse, depending on how well the IBM sales team pawns this hokum off as a legitimate diagnostic tool, the next logical step will be for malpractice insurance companies forcing physicians to consult with Watson before making any decisions.
We've been waiting a long time to move to Slack, and recently started migrating over ~2,000 users from HipChat.

Everyone is desperate for the migration to be complete, and to get rid of HipChat. A large majority had already moved their own team over.

Can't say I'll be sad to say goodbye to HipChat, it worked well for the 6 years we had it, but Slack is superior in many ways (other than price...).
She’s clearly implying that the products she sells somehow improve health despite there being no scientific evidence to back that (but plenty of evidence refuting it). That fits the definition of a con artist to me.
Has it ever been discussed as to how much BTC the Winklevoss twins own?
> The only thing required to raise a seed round is to convince people who have money to give you money.

The thing is that to do that, you need access to those people. And to get access with a previous network is where it gets tricky. Lots of people want that money.
Any recommendations for exercise physiology textbooks?

So true, though I expect that of the HN crowd (given it's hosted by YC).

Everytime I hear someone praise Jira, I think "Do you have more than 100 people using the same instance?" Middle manage needs charts and reporting, and that's Jira's strength. It's an absolute disaster to use on a daily basis.
Featured specifications work better in email, live debugging/forensics work better in Slack.
Seems like the title got changed as usual for something generic and meaningless. I think the news here is that Google released a new "Site Reliability Workbook", downloadable for free for a month.

Not everyone is good at expressing themselves in a real time conversation, either. Any medium of conversation excludes people who aren't good at that medium.

But if you have to choose a medium of conversation, are you better off choosing one that excludes introverts, non-native speakers, and people who aren't loud and obnoxious enough to command the room? Or would you rather exclude people who lack the patience or intellectual ability to read or write more than two or three lines of text at a time? Which choice allows deeper and more thoughtfully considered ideas to enter the discussion?

I'm loud and obnoxious enough to thrive either way, but I really don't want important professional decisions to be made by the "rofl tl;dr" crowd.
Would be great if we could download a webpage and guarantee it will always work. These days, however, I imagine lots of pages require runtime fetching of data via javascript. The alternative is whole-page screenshots but you lose the accessibility of the text within. I kind of miss the days when the web was just HTML.
> This is an example of progressivism gone awry.

Except it's actually an example of crony capitalism gone...well, perfectly according to design, actually.

There's nothing even remotely progressive about restricting all other businesses just to boost business for a particular industry.
Suddenly everyone cares about their dear Facebook cafeteria workers?

https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Facebook-cafeteria-worke...

People cheating on their income taxes to the tune of thousands of dollars a year each in free lunches are now more likely to comply with the law. This seems like a step in the right direction.
An entity making bad decisions because its whole history and current environment made it that way (no free will) and an entity making identical decisions because it has an out-of-universe-outside-of-physics control unit that merely takes history and current environment into consideration (free will) while making those decisions -- are identical when viewed as a black box from outside.

In fact if you start asking questions on what makes the out-of-universe control unit lean this way or that, you can arrive at it either having that inherent property (it just choses right more often than left) or it is a result of some outside influence. And we are at the square one again.

It's p-zombies all the way down.

From society perspective the goal is to minimize or encourage certain behaviors. The only lever available in either scenario is to change the history (by reducing harmful events in general for example) and current environment (by promising punishment or reward and affecting risk assessment for example).

Whether you have a free will or not, the only way to influence your decisions is by affecting your history and current environment. Assigning blame and holding people responsible is a lever that works the same. Doesn't mean you can't look at exactly how effective it is comparing to other methods though.
I was assigned a new manager, and they curbed a lot of the unofficial perks I'd been enjoying, like being able to work from home some days.

When it came time to turn in self-evaluations, I turned in a quitting notice. I couldn't bring myself to work through that self-evaluation.
> Apple thought pop-stars and EDM chart toppers and anyone associated with BEATS has good taste and to promote the playlists. It is top40 shlock.

Apple music has over 45 million tracks, so if what you meant to say was top40Million, then yeah - you're close.

If however you really think Apple Music only has top 40 type music in it, you're waaaay off base. They even have curated playlists for super-esoteric genres, and do a great job keeping those playlists updated.

Yes, if you only looked at a couple of "A-List" playlists, then you'd see top 40 type stuff - but that's the point of those playlists.
Personally I have found that RN does require some amount of native platform knowledge to be successful. However, the bulk of our app is actually in React Native. The times we've had to bridge into native is mostly around our voice modules or things that, in RN, were not very performant (like poor list performance) or required synchronous updates (like the keyboard problem mentioned in the post). Certain multimedia objects RN doesn't support out of the box but the community has come to the rescue (ie: https://github.com/cornedor/react-native-video-player for video).
You are free to do so, but talking in absolutes won't get you anywhere. There's the will to be free and the will to be content, not to say contained. These are two extremes and the target is in the middle, if and only if this is really just a two dimensional thing ... If you wonder how two dimensions can have a middle, think of negative and positive parts of the number line as individual axis ... I havent' figured out the maths, it's not a normed vector space, though.

Either way, people strive for consistency, but will is a highly inconsistent notion. So there must be more angles to the equation.

Free will is an oxymoron, or the homogenous solution ignoring higher orders at best, because will immediately constrains freedom.
Or tap your card, which I find the most convenient way of paying by card.
This book is pretty well known in the HN space, are you referring to "The Site Reliability Workbook"? That looks like it hasn't even been released yet in print, which is very cool that they are offering free downloads.

If so, thanks for the link! Can't wait to pour through this bad boy.
Intel Says Next-Gen 10nm CPU Not Coming Until Holiday 2019
No, maybe they would come to the Googleplex. A huge boon in food trucks.
Tesla still has a year's worth of production in pre-orders.

One day, the Tesla haters tell it is going to go bankrupt because it can't produce cars fast enough to meet demand. The next day they tell us it is going to go bankrupt because no one wants to buy its cars.

The more Tesla succeeds, the harder the shorters who are about to lose their shirts work to try to persuade everyone it is about to go bankrupt.
Too young to have ample experience? He’s distilling the results of reading over a thousand books on various business topics into a book on what business is. You don’t need ample experience for that. You need the stamina to read, judge and summarise all those books and the good taste and writing ability to actually write it.

It’s like the process of a journalist writing a book on a topic they have only the vaguest idea about, there’s a lot of reading and at some stage hopefully some understanding slips in. Except Josh has a business degree and worked at Procter & Gamble so he actually knew what he was on about before he started writing.
I'm not thrilled to see further consolidation, but frankly I'm not surprised in the least -- Hipchat is an utter dumpster fire.
I'll second the love for Confluence as an engineer. Easy to use and navigate imo. Hate JIRA with a passion though, at least the two implementations I've use have been exhausting with fields and options.
I feel the same way about web browsers, and before that, sound cards, and before that, color monitors.
Congress doesn't stick up for each other. As soon as those 28-Congressmen are gone, they'll start passing legislation that those 28-people didn't want.

Congress is a battleground. Not a club or secret society. You send representitives from your state to try and get a slice of the pie, and I send my reps from my area to try and get a slice for me.
I use Spotify on multiple devices every day and didn't notice anything about Drake recently, so it must not have been that effective a promotion.

Along the same lines, Silicon Zeroes covers a lot of low-level computer science and hardware engineering concepts. I wouldn't be surprised if some enterprising instructor has used it for labs.

You're in the mute-everything-non-critical class, which is a good practice regardless of the client. If they really need you, they'll ring/call/DM. Otherwise, you can check it whenever you're ready.
It's pretty terrible at handling any kind of networking failure (or whatever else causes it to have trouble getting a message delivered). Sometimes the UI will make something appear to have been sent, and quite some time later it gets marked as unsent. There's no explicit option to quit trying, or retry. Sometimes that message eventually disappears, and sometimes the recipient will then receive numerous identical copies of the message without me taking any action. This seems to be typical among users at other companies I talk to as well. This also seems to happen a lot more than I would expect, given that Internet connections are pretty reliable these days.
No, this is not the real point. Employment isn't an upside, that's the broken window fallacy.

Employees should be allowed to bring food from home to eat at their desks if they want, and that is obviously terrible for jobs in local cafes and restaurants.
AM has a ton of curated playlists - and not just customer-created/shared ones, they have full-time staff that does this stuff. In fact, that was the biggest strength of Beats when Apple acquired it - I was a Beats customer at the time, and the curated playlists were widely regarded as their best feature.
I skip breakfast, because the commute is so terrible that by the time I get to the office, it is too late, and I am unwilling to wake up any earlier in the morning for it. (Though, if I really did force myself to have breakfast, I would be waking up for it, not eating out.)

As for lunch, my company only provides it once per week. On the one day we do provide it, it is catered, and thus requires local labor. On the other days, I go out to get it. My favorite sandwich shop just closed; my coworker's favorite Korean place closed with them. If I had to guess, I would suspect they simply couldn't sustain themselves with the rents as they are. Their prices were decent. Other nearby eateries with more of a, for want of a better word, hipster feel to them charge significantly more for less food; I avoid eating there because over the course of the entire year, it represents a non-trivial amount of money. But if it comes to it that they're the only ones that can survive, I'll probably just abandon eating out altogether.

As it is, I'm making plans to abandon SV altogether primarily due to the issues mentioned by your parent: the ever declining quality of life in the Bay Area. Will that be a boon to the local market?
What followed was a 15 years long entrepreneurship „crunch“ that wrecked my private life and at 40+ it‘s a little late to start planning for a family (or 2). People with comfortable 9-5 jobs really have it much easier, despite the worries w.r.t. job security.
Angel List has never been an option. You still need, and always have needed, "warm introductions" from other connected people to gain even a modicum of interest. It's effectively Facebook for the already-connected.

As others in this thread have pointed out, just bootstrap. It's what we did, and as a consequence we don't answer to any of the rent-seeking parasites of the finance world.
Ah, because the UK has its own internal border where they would verify citizenship. I forgot about that. So you're saying that, if an Iraqi national is allowed entry into a hypothetical Turkey in the EU -- even if Turkey were to have open borders with the rest of the EU -- that same person would have to go through UK border security separately still.
They released the print version on Tuesday at Google Next '18
I participate less in channels but 1-on-1 chats with colleagues I work with is indispensable. I am an old hat, I have been online for 25 years (OK, it'll be 25 on September 2, fine, yes I am part of the Eternal September cohort). But I have never seen any app, talk, ICQ, AOL, MSN, Skype, you name it, I tried it, I used it which made this so easy. Discussion and code separates, inserting images and longer code snippets are trivial. Remember the IRC rule of not pasting more than three lines and pastebinning the rest? And now it has video and voice which works, just like that.

And part of the hype might be how easy it is to add emojis and have a little fun. It's important, too.
You're right. I forgot the UK has its own border with the EU and doesn't have open borders like other EU countries.
It's a valid point :) that probably wasn't the best example - although it would likely be quite a journey to somehow ship the forked support library.

Native iOS would have been a better example as that code is not open source at all.
So how much of your personal fortune do you have bet shorting Tesla stock, and when are you predicting it will crash?

Yeah, the Communist party in Albania had a great way to deal with 'community involvment'

Every first Sunday of the month (Sundays were the only days people had off, as Saturdays were actually work day), people were required to get out, and help clean out the neighborhood in 'cleaning actions'.

If you didn't do it, you'd be reprimanded, and if you didn't comply you'd be sent into re-education class, on how community involvement was crucial to a good communist society. If you still didn't comply then you'd be sent off to some 'action' in some more remote area.

Anyways, this is not communist 'community involvement' level yet, but the government should have no say on a person's personal private time.
I agree, and have bought and sold their stock multiple times as we went between product releases, the current product set does feel like one of their best though after Intel sat on their hands for so long.
