Absolutely, but if they're hiring for the last slot and you're up against a USMA grad former O3 (probably still in the reserves, too) that's very tall hurdle to clear.
>They weren't satisfied with the API, so they decided to end it instead of fixing it?

Yeah, basically. They want you to use their ad-infested or paid app instead, they don't want you using someone else's (or worse yet, your own) app or program to get their data.
I'm the first and biggest investor in Helm and I'm on the board. I created email-based Posterous previously (YC funded) and was a YC partner for 5 years. I funded this team because they're high integrity software engineers first, and we built this out of need— a company like this needs to exist because for this to work, you need both great user experience as well as great software.

Helm actually solves this exactly - they already have continuity of service coming in the pipeline, and the product as-it-ships will support encrypted backup/restore out of box, similar to how your iPhone supports iCloud backup.

I've run my own mail servers for Posterous before and it was probably 2 to 10 hours a month of maintenance, software updates, etc. And that's not something normals can do.

The company itself is run by folks who are committed to running this as a sustainable long term business that takes are of its customers and is super responsive to the community. As a board member I promise you we'll do that.
Two phase commit, for example to guarantee once and only once message delivery in MQTT. I like how far you can get with such a simple protocol:

A to B: send message (repeat until ack)
B to A: ack (resend if a repeat of message is received)
A to B: commit message (repeat until commit ack)
B to A: commit ack (resend if a repeat is received, but commit only once)
Yes foreigners think majority funding means 100% funded, but my local K12 gets $80M from prop tax, $50M from the state acting as middleman (its a proxy for income tax funding the schools), and $3M from the feds.

With the rise of identity politics in the USA, there's little motivation to help the kids of people who hate you and your kids, its a natural outcome of a multicultural nation.

posting #LetHerDecide memes is "clearly for the purpose of influencing an election," or is it satire? If that level of satire won't be tolerated, what will?
Yup, notice that from the slack screenshot that I posted it has speed mark 1.18 that puts it before Vue in terms of speed (which makes it plenty fast IMO, and its not even stable yet), I never claimed it is the fastest one of the bunch.

Nicoburns said that "performance question is not solved" - I think we can agree than svelte and lit are fast in general, that was the point I wanted to make that it is the implementation that matters here.
I guess Twitter found the potential negatives of allowing voter suppression campaigns on their platform (no matter how ineffectual you think they are) are greater than the benefits of allowing people to carry them out 'because free speech.'
I definitely think Raspberry Pi is what you want.

If you want the login shell to go straight into programming, you could launch an interpreter or text editor on login using .profile or what have you.
I was, although I'm of an older generation. I watched tons of TV as a kid and I turned out OK. ;-)
I think what’s shocking is how awful a lot of the targeting is. Even before I started getting super aggressive about blocking all trackers, I regularly got fed ads for products and services I didn’t need, and in languages I couldn’t understand.

The most confusing is that I keep getting ads from the same company I bought my wedding ring at. Like, I’m not divorced, and I don’t need a second. Why would they re-target me?
Sorry! Yes, I thought you were answering a question about dealing with bounces in general. My mistake!
If I can trust someone to do off-site cloud backups of my e-mail, why can't I trust the same person to run a Fastmail-like service so I don't have to have a $500 server in my house to get e-mail?
Getting into YC is a great way to jump-start your network. Ultimately, having a strong network is key to building a successful venture business. Expecting otherwise is unrealistic.

VCs aren't charities. Seed investing is a business with very high quantity and low quality at the top of the funnel. Any investor who tells you they aren't giving more weight to a lead that comes recommended vs. one that doesn't is lying to you. It could be as simple as 5min to review the initial pitch vs. 1min.
I found the tuition fees on campusfrance, which is the official website for foreign students who wants to go into the French higher education system. They actually state: "The difference is that in France, whether you are French or foreign, the State pays most of the cost."

I also know some foreign students in French universities, who went doing masters or PhD and they pay the same as a French student. I doubt it is different for bachelor degrees.

This article from Le Monde implies that they charge foreigners the same price as French students: https://www.lemonde.fr/education/article/2014/11/26/faire-pa...

I think that you speak about "formation continue" in your first paragraph. I think that if you register of your own, you actually get the normal fees. It is only if you qualify for "formation continue" which is more restrictive than being out of school for 2 years. It seems that it means you are funded by Pôle Emploi, or a company etc (see here: https://www.univ-paris8.fr/Formation-continue). So someone who is jobless but not registered as jobless in PôleEmploi can do"formation initiale".

For sure, it does not seem to be very clear.
I came here looking for something related to Emacs and am now disappointed beyond belief.
> We know Kepler results are heavily biased for (1) systems edge-on to us (2) with big planets (3) very close to their star.

This article was written by an astronomer working with Kepler, and I wonder why you apparently seem to believe that they are so naive that they forget about the bias in their own research tools.

Furthermore, the article explicitly mentions this issue, and provides an explanation for why they believe it does not apply, making me wonder if you read it at all:

> I concocted (on my laptop) imaginary planetary systems in which the sizes of planets orbiting a given star were random. Could some sort of bias in Kepler’s method of finding planets—which favors the detection of large planets close to their stars—contrive to make the planets in each of my imaginary systems appear to fit the pattern? The answer was no: in more 1000 trials with randomly assigned planet sizes put through a virtual Kepler’s detection scheme, a pattern of similarly-sized planets in the same systems never emerged.

Unless you have a reason to dispute this method of verification of course, but then you should share that.

I personally see no problem: the claim is implicitly that since the measured data does not match the predictions of the model, the model is wrong. The model + known bias of Kepler is used in simulation to generate expected statistical output of measured data sets. The generated data does not match the measured data. Hence, either the model of Kepler's bias is wrong, or the model of what planetary systems to expect.

Since we based the planetary system model on our own solar system, if that model is wrong then that makes our own solar system special.
no one said you can only keep one copy of anything you own.
That's a fair point. My worry in the original post is that they only factored in cost as an issue, and if they go to a non-accredited college, then they will likely get a poor ROI.
Well, the addendum to Greenspun's tenth rule works even if the ad-hoc etc implementation of half of Prolog is not accidental.

Like I say, it's tongue in cheek. I think (hope) programmers are somewhat over having any serious arguments about which language is "best" at this point in time. Although perhaps my own comments in this thread disagree. I am a little embarrassed about that.
Hi @aogl,

Yes SleekDB will read every JSON files on each query, but by default it utilizes the built-in cache feature that basically caches the result of a query. Once it caches a query, from the next time it will read only one file for that same query unless we update or write anything new there!
I've been running my email on Helm for the past month with no dropouts of service - it's worked with no issues this whole time, and we use Comcast in SF, so it's not the best upstream there is.
To me, the real explanation for a lot of this bizarre nonsense is because journalists are spending all day on Twitter which in reality isn't the real world it's technically just a very popular internet forum with a few famous users and they've begun to not understand that what happens on the internet forum Twitter does not represent what's actually happening in the real world.

This is how internet forum drama gets mistaken as actually something people in the real world actually think about.

Once you start to see this it becomes so strange that you can even tell when a journalist is a Twitter addict just from some of the terms and thinking they start to include in their articles.

There is very much a Twitter hivemind heavy users start to tap into, and unlike say Reddit users or even 4chan users they mistake Twitter as being the real world and the hivemind as reality.
We see less exposure of data because it's more profitable to push people to use proprietary apps that either cost money or are infested with annoying ads. This is why screen-scraping exists and is so popular, despite all the calls from nay-sayers who scream "don't screen-scrape! use the API instead!"
That is not entirely true. Perhaps in the stated configuration it is, but since the domain points to the EC2 instance, you could always register a new LetsEncrypt certificate for it, and do a silent MITM.

Perhaps the architecture you describe is the best, however I would hope for two things to be supported:
1) The ability to run your own gateway server instead of having to trust one managed by your company.
2) The ability to disable the gateway entirely if you happen to have a business connection already.
You're a bit confused on the terminology. "Dum dum" is a old colloquialism for an expanding bullet. Hollow points are a variety of expanding bullet, and the description from the Hague convention article III describes, and is intended to describe, expanding bullets. If it helps, you can look up some photos. For example, look up a photo of a Federal 115gr JHP bullet, one of the most widely used in law enforcement. That big hole in the front ain't for accuracy; it causes the bullet to expand like a mushroom after impact.

Interestingly, just last year the US Army approved the use of expanding bullets in M17 and M18 service pistols (both Sig P320). The issued ammo is Winchester XM1153, and yes, the Army (and everyone else) refers to this as a hollow point round.

EDIT: Also note that the Army disagrees with you; their justification for approving the use of hollow points is not that they're allowed under the Hague Convention, but that U.S. is not bound by it in many cases, such as warfare against irregular fighters, which describes pretty much all military conflicts for the last decade.
Nothing, in theory, but I don't think any amendment can get enough legislature votes to pass and be ratified right now, and the Powers That Be are absolutely terrified of what might come out of a Constitutional Convention. Anything could happen: gun control, equal rights for women, gay marriage, abortion rights, a requirement that presidents must divest all businesses and show tax returns prior to inauguration, right to strong encryption without back doors or key escrow, technology privacy and personal data ownership... anything.

So then we'll need masks and privacy-enhancing shoes.
Because with Helm only you hold the encryption keys.
It introduces a vastly larger number of elements to a new mind much more quickly.

Comparing opening Windows 10 and VS and starting a new project to turning on a computer and being presented an in-line-text IDE is to introduce degrees of complexity greater than is needed to understand or teach the fundamental concept (programming).
Did you find out what the issue was in the end? Was it because the IPv4 adapters were disabled?

Server side adoption is honestly not that bad. Quite a few major datacenters implement IPv6, but people don't set their A records or slightly modify their config for an IPv6 interface. Cloudflare provides a temporary proxy solution in that it offers IPv6, but it isn't really true IPv6.
Bernie is anti open borders, calling it basic globalist shilling. "It would make everybody in America poorer—you’re doing away with the concept of a nation state"

I bet if you repeated his opinion but didn't use his name on Facebook, some, uh, [leftward people with very reflexive opinions] would show up to argue with you.
A few observations.

1. Why did NYT get a special scoop on who's been banned, and why? That makes it more likely to be perceived as an act of signaling more than one of genuine enforcement.

2. Streisand Effect, in several ways. The reaction by Twitter also serves to put blood in the water, letting those trolls know that the tactic hit a soft spot, and encouraging them to hit it more aggressively.

3. Where's the line between this and satire? I'm seeing:
a. Blatant hyperbole
b. Obvious markers that the account is a part of the satire: hyperbolic or downright silly account names, and a distinctive avatar
Meh, what people say on reddit and what they do are two different things. Folks might hold out for a bit, but I imagine most folks will pay the “convenience fee” and pop down to the shop on the way home from work. As a WA resident, at this point if I had to go tracking down a dealer, I’d go back to not smoking.
Yes. Raspberry Pi plus RISC OS Pico will drop you straight into a BASIC prompt. And one which is largely compatible with software written the original BBC BASIC from the early 1980s, if you have that nostalgia. The embedded assembler is ARM rather than 6502, and there are improvements and changes to some of the OS interfaces, but most simple stuff will work unchanged.
That's an interesting take on the matter.

Personally I agree with copyleft licenses for as long as they are just restricting distribution as defined by copyright law. This because IMO there needs to be a clear, lawful boundary for what FOSS licenses can and cannot restrict.

Will look more into it.
Great link, with great links! I'll be avidly reading those over the next few days. "...Latour can actually write well when he wants to." Golden!

The PoMo "side" is not exactly the Leftist side, however. If reformed PoMo enthusiasts expect all this to go away now that they've seen the error of their ways, they will be disappointed. The discourse from 4chan etc is not only a reaction to a particular political circumstance, but also to the experience of real people in economic, advertising, media, social, etc arenas. The channers have found something that empowers them to speak back to dominant narratives that exclude them, and they're not going to give it up just because e.g. Latour has changed his mind.

But that's completely orthogonal to owning a piece of hardware. You could run a managed cloud e-mail service where only the users hold the encryption keys, too. How is this a hardware problem?

Sounds to me like you're doing fine. Usually the people most critical of how others raise kids have no kids themselves (and/or are idiots), and therefore have no idea of the constant trade-offs you must make to keep them safe, fed, clothed, entertained, educated and also keep yourself sane.
Since graduating from University I've worked in four different jobs (graduated 2.5 years ago). Each spanning in length from 6 months - 1 year.

Every time raises/bonuses have come up, I haven't been given one.

My salary is 40% higher than it was when I left University though.

Finally found a role I actually want to stay in and see a future in as well now, so hopefully I'll see raises/bonuses come my way in the near future.
It's a bit odd of an odd experience clicking through "randomize". I doubt ~85% of the adult population can grow facial hair.
Ask HN: What is your solution for verifying network connectivity and firewalls?
I work for a company with a pretty complicated network (hundreds of VLANs, ACLs, firewall rules, switches, etc.). Therefore, whenever there is a new platform/service added, a ticket to the LAN/WAN team has to be created, detailing subnets that have to have access to specified hosts on specified ports - and so on. This is usually documented in a project architecture document in an Excel document.

Whenever the LAN/WAN team responds to the ticket that the connection should be working, I test if that's true, usually via use of a lot of commands like ip route, traceroute -T -p 12345, tcpdump, ping, telnet, curl... basically a lot of manual work to get the necessary info to debug the problem.

I'm basically looking for a few tools:
- something to help me maintain network configuration (like custom routing rules via different interfaces) on my hosts - using Ansible here
- something to monitor network connectivity and get debug info (e.g. if host A can reach port B on machine C, and if not, get output of stuff like traceroute -T -p, ping) on my hosts in real time
- something (like a script or a config to be run) to send to my colleagues that are responsibles for other hosts, so in case the connectivity problem is on their side, I don't have to explain which commands I'd like them to run and give me the output of but instead I get the full output.

I would also like to hear your approaches to maintaining/documenting these types of setups.
I upvoted this but I need to reiterate my support.

When I was a kid, I was heavily into video games and had a burning desire to create my own. However, the options for doing so were not great. One of my middle school teachers tried to introduce us to programming via creating Space Invaders in perl, which went as well as you might imagine. There were a few GUI game making applications that were all terrible and extremely limited. I eventually managed to make a game using Flash, but all the overhead of arcane Actionscript APIs was overwhelming and discouraging. I stopped programming and for several years thought I was going to go into media, creating films and animation. I eventually picked up programming again in college, but there were many years of programming experience I could have had if I had stuck with game dev.

I'm convinced that if PICO-8 existed when I was originally interested in making games, I never would have stopped programming. PICO-8 is the perfect balance of easy-to-learn and powerful. Lua is a good first language because it's so small, and encourages you to build your own solutions rather than rely on magical libraries. For example, I never knew how a list-shuffling algorithm (Fisher-Yates) worked until I needed to write my own because Lua and PICO-8 don't provide one.

The limited sprite and sound options encourage you to spend time not on the assets but on the gameplay (the code). It's quick to get things on screen and working because the PICO-8 API is simple, logical, and not arcane (cough Actionscript cough).

Basically, it introduces programming in an instant-gratification way that's able to grab and hold a child's attention, while still being powerful enough to produce games that aren't hamstrung by toy programming languages.
I use Lyft a lot when I travel, but I'm also acutely aware that such services have their downside. For example, using Lyft the way I do spares me both the hassle and the liability of a rental car in two unfamiliar and notoriously bad traffic environments (Silicon Valley and Seattle). How is that possible? Because that hassle and liability are pushed onto the driver, whose livelihood would be far more affected by an accident than mine would be. :(

With respect to congestion, there is definitely a problem that so many rides leave the driver somewhere other than where they'd want to be. Taking rides to and from dinner is one thing, because those trips balance out pretty well. Using a TNC as a commute alternative is quite another thing, because everyone wants to go one way in the morning and the other way in the afternoon, leaving every car occupied only half the time. Even worse, the effect is most concentrated in exactly the places people least want to drive themselves because of the pre-existing congestion. Every bad place gets worse.

I don't know of any solution that others aren't already likely to mention, but it's definitely a problem looking for a better solution.
$499 - waaaat?
I don't know what the internal situation is with WU, but I have to wonder if they're not really a going concern within TWC anymore. Between their terrible site redesign a few years back that just sort of stopped once it got to about 75% functional, and the way they seem to disable features whenever they start requiring a little more effort to support, it feels like there's maybe one or two people working on the site in their spare time trying to keep the lights on.

It's a shame because their forecast graph is quite possibly the best weather visualization ever - at a glance, I can see what the whole day is likely to look like. I will miss it when they inevitably discontinue it.

Edit: In fairness, I just visited the site for the first time in a while and it looks like they finally fixed their weather map - for at least several years after the redesign was "complete", the default view for the weather map would load so many weather stations it would grind pretty much any browser on any machine to a halt. Looks like that's no longer the case, so maybe something is still going on over there.

It was enough to answer user jawns' question.
While your answer is reducible to "yes" in this case, I think the NPC meme is just the inverted Russian bot meme. If one qualifies as misleading information, the other should be scrutinized as well.

Although the NPC case is probably about some random people on twitter that like to make fun of some targets, the story about Russians seems to have more involved actors.
