I found the same problem. I found too many places where passwords change far too often and are forced to be far too unique for a standard template to be replicable. Even something like HNspring2018 for my HN password, if I had to change it and did HNfall2018 I've seen sites kick it back saying it's not unique enough, or I can't use the date or year. Many won't let you use full dictionary words, even when paired with more complex stuff.

My work password needs to be changed every 60 days, must be longer than 16 characters, can't repeat three characters in a row over two password iterations, and passwords have to be unique for two years before you can repeat them. I write that password down on paper every time.

I hope we've reached peak ridiculousness when it comes to passwords and this is as bad as it gets before something better comes along.
WHY NIGERIAN POLITICIANS DON'T WANT YOUTHS TO PROSPER IN POLITICS – ANKAURSPEAKS
Your superior cultures results in terrorist cells and content. Your superior culture should pay it's own flipping bill (to handle it's miscreant externalities).

Here's a flipping mirror.
You're welcome

What is the word for
"To look down one's nose
And expect others to solve one's own country's problems at others' expense."

Here are some topics
That you're preferred, local, must-carry content
MUST address in order to be considered for publication in this journal:

- Ethnocentrism

- Nationalist bigotry

- Editorial discretion

"You know, we're going to make these successful Americans do our bidding;
so that we're not forced to voluntarily pay for their inferior American content"

You can start your own flipping platform.

You can add a tax in order to subsidize a privately or state-owned competitor for these services.

But you will not flipping tell these companies what content to carry.

And while you're at it,
add a tax to pay for filtering content uploaded by the outcast miscreants your region of the world produces.

Freedom of Speech.

Please read the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

> Whereas disregard and contempt for human rights have resulted in barbarous acts which have outraged the conscience of mankind, and the advent of a world in which human beings shall enjoy freedom of speech and belief and freedom from fear and want has been proclaimed as the highest aspiration of the common people,

> Article 19. Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.

Personally, I do enjoy films from all over the world.

You may not lawfully compel these companies to control their speech.

You may levy a tax to fund the arts.

Forcing local investment in that way is not a good way to build healthy relationships.

"They're only finding this project because they have to"

You may invest in building competing platforms.

You do not own these companies. These are not state-owned or state-operated businesses. They were built and financed by non-state actors.

Would you go to a scholarly journal and tell them that they must publish 40% local articles? You would not, because you would then be infringing their right to freedom of speech.

You would not, because later on, the authors would question whether their success was unfairly subsidized; whether they succeeded due to merit or nationality.

"You must carry"
Get the heck out of here.

"This is our country,
So you must put my kid's painting on your wall."
Go treat yourself.

What's next? Are you going to strongarm Ikea -- which sells great products -- into carrying a product mix with 30-40% goods from other local manufacturers?

Actual competition results in superior goods that consumers prefer.

> Besides, ad blockers don’t work with Facebook or Amazon embedded ads.

Could you explain further? Do you mean A/FB ads on A/FB, or A/FB ads on third party sites? As long as they're marked as ads they're removable.
I don't buy this argument that they were explicitly installed as a placebo. Instead I think they're basically a form of technical debt. In the elevators, they probably once did work, but then the ADA stuff came about or the maintenance people just didn't see the point of hooking them up. For crossings, some of them do work, and perhaps many. What's easiest, roll them out uniformly or install a hodge podge? ...and for the motels, it wouldn't surprise me one bit if it's cheaper to buy a residential thermostat with a knob than a commercial temperature sensor. Maybe that even worked as well...

Engineers and builders don't care about "placebo effects on users" except for in the most carefully built UX scenarios. We're talking about basic infrastructure here, no one really cares about UX that much as long as it meets basic requirements. All these buttons exist as an accident, or they're detritus from an era when they did work, or it was just cheaper to get the panel with a button than a blank.

"Let's put a placebo button in to make people feel better." said no traffic engineer, elevator installer, motel HVAC installer, ever.
Actually, it's the same exact article as this one, on a different site.

That's not how skepticism works. A cursory search reveals that his case is quite well-attested to since the early 1970s, and the verifiable facts are not in dispute. What happened when he was alone in the wilderness is not verifiable, so "I won't believe it without evidence!" is a hollow and useless bellow. There are many situations in which evidence will never be available -- there were no webcams set up to observe wolf-child interactions in the mountains of Spain in the 1950s -- but that doesn't mean its untrue. A skeptical mind, in such cases, needs to rely on other faculties rather than complain about a lack of evidence.
The paper authors used FDM machines (Ultimaker 2+, a Stratasys J750, and a Stratasys Fortus 450 MC). But even the cheapest $500-ish resin printers can do 25 micron layers with 50-ish micron XY resolution and it is very very hard to see those layer lines.
The molds are not 3D printed. Rather, the molds for the mold are. The actual molds used in production are silicon, obtained after pouring silicon into the 3D mold-of-the-mold.

Somebody really screwed up! I wonder how much money per minute Facebook loses in this situation.
I would definitely not say "raised". He lived, and interacted with, humans until he was 7, which is around the age you enter school. At 7, I suspect the average human is far more intellectually advanced than the average grown wolf, so I very much doubt that there was much "raising" going on.

In my experience, Amazon has _incredibly poor_ targeting. Search and place an order for cat food, and the next day you'll get an email with:

> Based on your recent activity, we thought you might be interested in this.

>

> ... cat food, the exact same brand I bought already ...

Not only that, their targeting doesn't seem to be based on my past purchases nor my frequent purchases, but almost solely based on what I have searched for recently.

They don't seem to use the _massive_ amount of data they have on my purchase history _at all_.

My tentative answer is this: someone who uses Haskell appreciates elegant solutions (a.k.a mathematical/functional) and is inclined to write things 'properly' once and they might also idealize that the functions they write will not only solve this current issue, but be useful to others and themselves in other programs ... thus going down the generalization and elegance rabbit hole.

Of course, all of this is purely speculation on my part.
holding a middle ground is frowned upon on the internet.

I've confirmed this myself by writing torridly on occasion and for sites which allow voting (such as HN/Reddit) I am rewarded.

When I make a nuanced, balanced and reasoned reply I am punished.

I bring this up because on twitter there is no 'disagree' button, there is only shouting at your enemy in 280 characters, that used to be 140 characters, enough that you can never actually make a reasoned assertion about anything.

I still have my twitter account, it's a shame to remove it because I have a good handle- but I can't escape the blatant fact that it is only inhabited by bullies. Both sides of a weirdly distorted political spectrum drumming/repeating their own rhetoric to each other -- and anyone who might try to strike a balance is seen as an enemy by both sides of the extreme.

The extremes of twitter almost caused me to hate feminism, A cause I actually have always agreed with. In turn it also caused me to hate ideologues who espouse fears of restricted freedoms/end of privacy. Which I also agree with.

Twitter is _not_ a place to go to have a conversation, it's a place where a conversation is thrust upon you if you speak, whether you want it or not.

I'm writing this because I agree with you. I've had a growing resentment for twitter due to the blatant, crushing pile-on that it allows.
Amazon ad revenue alone ($2.2 billion) for Q2 was already around 15% of Facebook's total Q2 revenue ($13 billion). That is nuts, if they have any room to grow that further, since ads isn't even Amazon's specialty.

For reference, Snapchat did $290 million in the same timeframe, Twitter $660 million.
I am a little surprised to see Steve Blank's course on How To Build a Startup (2012) still live on Udacity [1].

Why?

Yes, the years have passed. And?

Have you recently seen any entrepreneurs/gurus using or praising that approach ?

No, who cares what "gurus" think. Evaluate it for yourself and come to your own conclusion. Do you have any particular reason to think that it's not relevant? Is there something especially interesting about "2018"?
This is spam. How does one report a post and user on HN?

That's not true. In a low-flux time-delay interferometer you cannot assign a definite emission time to a detected photon.

I read a similar post from Peter Levine earlie this week too. And in this of videos, I think it is a bit more inbound focused.

However, I will say. The moment you start hiring sales reps and marketing reps, here is what starts to happen:

1) Any leads generated from Youtube or inbound email inquiries or etc are treated as "golden leads" and are typically given to the most politically connected reps

2) These inbound leads happen so infrequently that reps often just sit around waiting with "nothing to do"

3) So then marketing starts thinking about outbound massive email blasts to send out

4) and sales reps start thinking about outbound cold calling campaigns to "follow up on the email we sent you"

5) anddd now you've got 500k of payroll per year engaged in the least productive, most intrustive form of prospecting in the world

6) when you should probably just focus that on making your product and youtube presence so wicked that people bang down your door to buy
Why aren't people using your product? Why aren't they banging down your door for more features and support?

Until they're doing this, your product isn't good enough.

It's not good to reveal your scheme, or for your scheme to be so simple. If a HN database ends up in the open, your accounts on other sites become vulnerable.
@erdaniels, yes. There will be a separate release outside the App Store, with the free one week trial. I am working on it at the moment.
I've used AWS, Azure and GCP and personally I prefer GCP at the moment.

GCP works so smoothly with Kubernetes and Stackdriver is pretty awesome. I feel that lately AWS suffers from feature bloat. Or at least whenever I open the services console I tend to close it back down since there's always 10-20 new names of products I don't recognize.

Sure! You can address to me, or you can just address it "to whom it may concern" (there are a few HPC positions in those job postings, so that would be a different manager). We're not going to count it against you either way :).

My advice on the cover letter is to just be honest about your situation. If you're only going consider remote, let us know that. If you prefer remote but would consider on-site as you say here, let us know that too! It's all going to come down to a discussion about whether we're the right fit for you and you're the right fit for us, so it benefits both sides to be as candid as possible (just my two cents).

If you're thinking about applying, it doesn't hurt to email me and just say that you applied from the HN post so I can keep my eye out for it!
You can eventually "come out the other side" and get to the point where you write the general version correctly the first time. But it is some degree of work. I think it's a good exercise for a pro, but you can certainly live without it.

The general principle does come in handy elsewhere, though. Doing the most useful work with the minimum power is a generally useful skill. I get a lot of mileage out of it in other languages, because across a couple hundred modules, the difference between modules that have minimum dependencies and modules that carelessly overuse power becomes quite substantially different in character.
The 3-D printed molds are used to make silicone molds. It doesn’t really matter how bad the 3-D printed molds are as long as they don’t ‘infect’ the silicone molds while you’re making them.

I agree. Definitely more a "Heinlein's Razor" variation on "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity".
Okay, but there's the old Amazon's showroom problem.

People go to the store, look at the thing, then, maybe buy it online anyway, for any number of reasons. Net effect, physical locations become showrooms that move very little actual product, and fail to close the expected number of sales.
TruStory | Los Angeles, CA | Software Engineer | Full-time | Onsite | https://www.trustory.io

The Internet lets anyone, anywhere broadcast a message to the rest of the world. It connects the 4 billion people on the Internet to one another. It’s undoubtedly the greatest invention of humanity. But the ease of sending information unfortunately also allows misinformation to spread. How do you reconcile these two opposing forces, openness and trust? One solution is to hinder or to censor. But that’s been tried before and miserably fails. But imagine if information policed itself by the people creating that information.

At Trustory, we're looking for full-stack engineers to help build this for the world. Our tech stack is primarily Typescript, React Native, Node, GraphQL, and Go (Golang).

We value ethical, curious, and passionate people. We don't care about your grades. We don't care about your pedigree.

We are building TruStory in a decentralized manner, using blockchain platforms like Cosmos SDK and Ethereum. You’d be one of our first hires, and get a chance to work with some of the most experienced engineers and advisors in the industry.

'Elegant' is probably not a word I would choose, although it may apply at times. Erlang was the first place I saw pattern matching and is also how I came to actually understand list comprehensions, although I'd seen them elsewhere. There were other little things. And I liked the syntax! I don't think it was any one thing though. It was more the way things worked together, and worked much differently than other languages I had worked with. At that point I had been a programmer for 10 years and felt kind of jaded. Everything seemed fundamentally the same. I was even surprised now not-weird Lisp was when I finally got around to it. It seemed like once you get to a certain place with programming you think you basically have it all worked out and everything becomes implementations details. And then something comes along and shakes that understanding. It's that shake that I was grateful for. It was a personal experience. Others have probably had that with Haskell, etc.. I hope everyone gets to have that now and then.

Is a poster on a wall considered "paper in constant use"? After all, that disk has been constantly, unceasingly physically manipulated for years, while the paper has just been merely subjected to light and a small amount of air movement. A poster on the wall is as much "in use" as a disk that is plugged in but not mounted.

Sticking with the original subject, write your password to your computer disk and write it to a piece of paper. Now change your password on your computer disk while changing it on the paper as well. Now change it again. And again. And again. See what is more durable, the disk being constantly erased and written over, or the paper being constantly erased and written over? A modern SSD can handle tens of petabytes being written before it dies. Can a piece of paper?
The most notable difference between Pelican and Puffin crossings is the phases.

Pelican crossings go through a flashing amber phase on their way from red to green, imitating the behaviour of Belisha beacons from Zebra crossings. Puffin crossings remove this behaviour, instead opting for the typical red -> red+amber -> green phase, using pedestrian sensors instead of solely a timer. This also means that the system can cancel the crossing sequence if the pedestrian pushes the wait button, but then leaves.
Google is better able to capture 'intent' IMHO.

It also makes it possible to find users who are at different specific stages of the buying process. That's way more powerful than what FB or Amazon offer.

I think this is one of the consequences of Carnism[1]. For most people, it's a lot harder to eat or exploit someone with a personality and rich emotional life, than something that has no feelings or desires. This creates all sorts of cognitive distortions and biases.
