Ask HN: Is it a pain paying out revenue share on collaborative projects?
I've worked on several collaborative projects in which I agree to split the revenues with someone. Books is the big use case. Amazon doesn't split payments though, and my collaborators are not - understandably - great at sending reports and paying things out quarterly. Wondering if this is a problem anyone else faces? If so - would you use a service that would give you a bank account number that you would provide to Amazon or whatever other platform, which would then accept the funds, calculate out the revenue splits, and automate the payments out to the collaborators via Venmo or Paypal or even checks?

I am no expert, either, but it seems you could create material that will attenuate OLED-originating light much more than other light. Ie. these glasses would not be completely transparent, they would be somewhat grey but would be much more opaque for OLED light than normal continuous spectrum. Even with polarized glasses you don't block all light, you block some and due to proximity to much more luminous sources (as seen through glasses) it appears dark.
I had no idea what this was until I clicked around a bit so I was going to make a couple of suggestions for your home page (like explaining what it does and linking straight to the app) but I see that you have a 'pro' home page that has more content, so this looks very much like a work in progress.

You might need to do more to drive people to the free version to try before they buy. Have you considered different payment plans, like one offs?

Also when an image is uploaded it'd be good if the image aspect ratio was preserved so that it isn't distorted.
> I can't imagine a more risky period to step out of a 'career' and become a founder than 45.

Why? What makes age 45 more risky than 40 or 50, or 35 or 60? Or are you just comparing "age bracket where people probably have a family" vs. "people probably too young to have a family"?
It doesn't work like that btw :D
I managed to get my craftsman table saw picked up from Sears (via Shop Your Way) a scant 48 hours before they declared. I have no doubt my local store will be closed and I expect the killer deals via Shop Your Way will be gone shortly.

I’m genuinely saddened for the people at my local sears that are left. They always were kind.

They’ll be looking for jobs as fast as they can I expect. I hope they get them.

I don't think that's a very good example, there aren't that many "production grade" crypto libraries out there. I think the root of the problem is that C simply lacks the features necessary to write safe code, it sometimes feel like the language is actively trying to trip you up instead of having your back (implicit casts, weird aliasing rules, lack of generics and in particular "safe" containers like C++'s std::vector, completely implicit ownership semantics etc...). This makes is very difficult to interface crypto code nicely and safely using a pure C API.

That's not to say that C crypto libraries don't suck for other reasons (I've used OpenSSL, I can't really defend that) but the language itself limits what you can do, in the standard library or otherwise. I mean, look at the many flawed or error-prone interfaces in the C standard library itself, I don't think stdcrypto.h would be the panacea.

Disclosure: I work for an insurance company that sells annuities. This is solely my own opinion, and I have no incentive to get you to buy an annuity.

With that out of the way, a few comments on this:

* Tontines were exorbitantly profitable for life insurers before they were outlawed - much more so than any modern products I’m aware of.

* Profitability is somewhat independent of product structure in that either a tontine or an annuity can be priced to achieve a given level of profitability.

* The structure of a tontine means that payments start off much lower than a life annuity and grow substantially (exponential growth with a growth rate that itself increases exponentially) over time. Most retirees would probably prefer a higher initial payment and lower growth rate, since the amount of income they need in retirement generally doesn’t increase that much over time.

* While annuities are reasonably profitable for insurers, profitability metrics are lower than you might expect. The vast majority of what I’ll loosely call “profit” goes to agents and “financial advisors” in the form of commissions, not to the insurance companies themselves. While they’re uncommon due to low demand, there are annuities that can be purchased directly from insurers (i.e., without paying a commission), and the rates are probably similar to what you’d get through a trust because the expenses scale well.

* If you’re totally opposed to any profit being captured by financial institutions’ shareholders, mutual insurance companies are owned directly by their policyholders and return profits to them in the form of dividends. The only potential advantage to a trust over a mutual insurance company is that the former might be able to back policies with riskier investments (and I’m not at all certain that that’s the case).

* While the personal savings rate in the US has declined since 1960, I’m not sure that that’s still true when going all the way back to the turn of the 20th century. Can you provide a source for that claim?

Payment plans is a big headache, to be honest. There seems to be no surefire way to do it. I went with a subscription plan because that seemed reasonable at the time. The free version is supposed to be fully featured enough to cater to most needs, though. I don't want to alienate those who are opposed to paying monthly, but I still want to keep that as an option so I can keep the lights on(!)

Free Electron Lasers

...or why we need 17 billion Volts to make a picture.

https://media.ccc.de/v/34c3-8832-free_electron_lasers

HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16028723

Wouldn’t it be awesome to have a microscope which allows scientists to map atomic details of viruses, film chemical reactions, or study the processes in the interior of planets? Well, we’ve just built one in Hamburg. It’s not table-top, though: 1 billion Euro and a 3km long tunnel is needed for such a ‘free electron laser’, also called 4th generation synchrotron light source. I will talk about the basic physics and astonishing facts and figures of the operation and application of these types of particle accelerators.

Most people have heard about particle accelerators, most prominently LHC, at which high energy particles are brought to collision in order to study fundamental physics. However, in fact most major particle accelerators in the world are big x-ray microscopes.

The latest and biggest of these synchrotron radiation sources which was built is the European XFEL. A one billion Euro ‘free electron laser’, based on a superconducting accelerator technology and spread out 3km beneath the city of Hamburg. The produced x-ray pulses allow pictures, for example from proteins, with sub-atomic resolution and an exposure time short enough to enable in-situ studies of chemical reactions.

This talk aims to explain how particle accelerators and in particular light sources work, for what reason we need these big facilities to enable new types of science and why most of modern technology would be inconceivable without them.
The B-29 wasn't strategic in terms of Cold War capability against the USSR, in fact SAC had downgraded it to 'medium bomber' in classification.

SAC did modify a few dozen with inflight refueling as the B-29MR but that required stripping off nearly all defensive armament and giving over half of the bomb capacity to fuel tanks. And even then the missions would be one-way:

The developed B-50 was semi-strategic and had inflight refuelling capability from the outset.
Nope, I mean Discourse, which does some sort of stupid link tracking so that it can display a count of how many people have clicked on a link. In doing so, they somehow break Force Touch in Safari, which makes it doubly annoying.
White paper was a thing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_paper) before people recently started using it to mean "any possibly technical information saved in a two-column PDF".

Let's not suggest that "white paper" is more appropriate than "blog post" or "HN comment" as a medium for partaking in the HN tradition of sharing some details about one's stack. I'd be hard-pressed to believe that OP was literally asking for one, too.
That’s a great idea, thanks !

> What if you want some part of your layout to change based on the size of a view (as determined by screen size, dynamic type setting, language and so on)? Do you create two separate XIB files? How do you keep them in sync?

IB has the resources to handle exactly that, it's called "vary for traits".

If you are doing the math, AutoLayout is precisely made to that for you.

Even if you want to not use constants (ex: use the sinus function), you can do just the important part in code and alter the IB constraints's constants. Done.

This story strikes me as (at least partly) survivorship bias. It's great that they were able to acquire 600 paid customers without advertizing their product on blogs, and ignoring their competitors. I don't have hard numbers to back me up, but I doubt that this is a successful strategy in general.

Or as a cautionary measure against heavily nested code.
Just as having an in depth understanding of mathematics, physics, or engineering helps us to make more informed decisions, so too do the humanities. Fields of study such as philosophy, sociology, or aesthetics do not attempt to establish, as you put it, subjective unverifiable "truths" (to do so would be quite infeasible in the first place). Instead they allow for discussion and aggregation of information and reasoned opinions, so that a comprehensive understanding of the field and its many schools of thought may be reached.

Coming back to the wind farm, even once we have the objective variables, the decision we make will be based on factors of morality, geography, aesthetics, sociology and politics. By having a broad understanding of these fields and the various paradigms contained within them, we can produce a more informed decision than if these aspect were ignored completely.

Enjoyed reading your thinking around what "Intention preservation" means for CoCalc. I think "Intention" was left open-ended since it was always meant to be defined in the context of a specific application, e.g. image vs text editing would like have different notions of user-intentions and what it means to preserve them.

TP2 has been made into this monster that seems to scare anyone starting to look at OT. You don't need to worry about TP2 with a suitable protocol with a server or fully peer-to-peer, and either solution are simple enough to implement. A fine point is that TP2 and intention-violation are distinct properties: you can easily achieve convergence by serializing the operations through a total order at every site (but your won't have intentions preserved), on the other hand, if you insert 'a' and I insert 'b' at the same location simultaneously, it's reasonable for both results 'ab' or 'ba' to be intention preserved, but without transformations we'd each see a different result (thus divergence).

We've documented plenty of CRDT's performance and correctness issues in that article. I think a bigger app design question I would ask is if you want to "lock-in" your apps internal data model with a consistency-maintenance scheme -- there is real value in separation of concerns (SoC) .

Stratis 1.0 Release Notes
I'm really sceptical about sharing roadmaps. In the beginning, I often talked about planned features, and it often turned out that they took way more time than expected (one of my favorite features is in progress since December 2015).

If I share a public roadmap, and then I don't deliver, people will be disappointed.

So I've started to only tell people about new features once they are stable enough for testing.

I don't want to build up expectations when I'm not sure when/if I can deliver.
