It's critically important for developing nations to avoid the China route of fueling economic growth via stored carbon. Even if the rich nations needs to subsidize them.

Aye, sure, he might be a murderer.

But is there any evidence to suggest his murderous behavior makes him a poor engineer?

I do agree that it is good he left the project long ago, though.

Show HN: Landub.com – Landing Page Hub for Inspiration and Templates
"Hunt for Red October" does this. Everyone uses their own voice on the Russian sub.
Hey HN,

This is the first product I'm launching as part of my 12 startups in 12 months challenge. It sounds like yet another listing website, but I needed a fast and simple start point to make sure I'm really starting the 12in12 journey.

Landub – https://landub.com – is a landing page hub for designers, marketers, and startup owners. A source of inspiration to view latest landing page designs and find your next landing page template.

Hope you find it useful and nice feedbacks are very welcome :D

That's the whole point of OpenID. One account with one credentials, multiple profiles on multiple sites. Lazyness is good. Much better than creating n acoounts on multiple sites using the same passwords, getting the weakest site to be compromised silently and hackers streaming back to your other accounts from that one. I'd rather trust fb.com 2fa security team over joeschmoe.com's one.

I agree with Pritish. But there is Startup culture in Trivandrum and Kochi. Also, tech literacy is high in TVM and Kochi due the the tech parks.
Yes. Better still, I skim read "Teach Yourself to Echolocate" as "Treat Yourself to E-chocolate". Maybe my subconscious is trying to tell me something. Did a bit of an internet search and, unlike e-cigarettes, it seems like e-chocolate doesn't exist, yet.
This is among the most interesting and insightful things I’ve read on this topic. Thanks for sharing this idea.
"My advise is, if your side project didn't become entrepreneur success, they are useless dead-weights. You might as well spend your time reading CTCI and doing Leetcode."

I would never follow advice coming from a rant. My advice is that you don't follow your own advice coming from a rant either. :)

There are companies that will value your experience and there is the possibility that the projects you chose do not showcase your software development skills properly.

My impression is that you got lost between creating a portfolio project and building a startup, ending up with the worst of two words. You can name both as "side-projects", but they are very different things with very different goals.

While learning to code a couple of years ago I built a lot of small projects with the sole purpose of showing that I could build and put in production very small, humble projects as a junior developer. My portfolio is here, although most projects are not online anymore (just stopped maintaining and paying domain fees): http://rodrigo-pontes.glitch.me/

They were great to learn and the portfolio was essential to be hired on my first job as a web developer.

Now I have another side-project that is totally different from those early ones. It is a bootstrapping business where the goal is not to learn and show to potential employers, the goal is to create a product that adds real value to the customer and earn money with it: www.oneonemeeting.com

I imagine a company looking to hire me as a frontend web developer won't necessarily care about all the work that went into the design and copy of the landing page, the product development, the sales part, the conversation with potential customers.

So my advice is: when starting a side-project, think hard about what are you wanting to achieve with it, what is its goal and plan it accordingly. If you build it for making money, don't expect it will help you with being hired; and vice-versa.
There's a classic cartoon about that: https://starecat.com/content/wp-content/uploads/planet-got-d...
As others may have said, it really depends on the company.
I got hired based on my github and what my favorite movie was. No whiteboard or algorithmic questions at all. Reams of blog posts have been written on how the type of interview you experienced is a broken/flawed process. I applied to 5 companies a day for a month straight (~150) before getting 5 offers in one week and not a thing before that. But I also studied to pass the interview process I knew I would encounter. At some companies the process consisted of just phone screens with technical heirarchy, at others it was a take home coding challenge to build a simple app (which you would’ve aced), at another it was a pair programming session followed by a full day onsite working with the team. Sounds like your skills and interest might be wasted maintaining a settings menu. Guaranteed there are loads of companies who would be a better fit. You just have to find it, and the only way I know how to do that is volume. Keep going!
Is it possible to replace the baseband to something that's even a little bit more trustworthy?
Is it just me, or is this article incredibly biased?

here's a thought.. if you dont want your stuff counterfited, dont outsource it to china. The companies loved the idea of "cheap labour" and also want the underpaid employees to be honest and loyal to them?

The "high price of low cost" at play here..

In this selfiestick, china is bad here.. but for a lot of the counterfits.. you sent china the moulds, templates, specs.. hmmm...

Jack Ma is correct, a lot of the counterfits come from the same factory someone outsourced to.. so what is the difference between a "counterfit" and "genuine" article other then price?
> What do a I care that Google is tracking my preferences? What would I have to pay for a product with the kind of investment Google Search, GMail and Youtube have alone?

Some of us care about tracking and are unwilling to pay what we consider a massive price, far above the monetary value of those services. Yet, we are unable to opt for the paid, no-tracking alternative, and indeed, we are being forced to pay the onerous data price even by companies we have no contractual dealings with and that provide us no services whatsoever.

> and the ECB no longer has the means to do much to stop it

This is incorrect. The ECB is the emitter of Euros. They run the whole system, so they always have the option to buy government bonds, for example.

Now, whether the politics will allow that to happen is not necessarily obvious. But that's a separate question, let's not get confused about that.
I wish there was a ban on using stock imagery in news reporting. They should either put a real photo, or no photo at all. Putting stock photos almost always creates confusion.
Sure, and that influences the choice of metrics. I think chasing things like user active minutes (UAM) can lead to pathological development. But for a social product, "real ambitions" must include people a) using it, and b) being happy they are using it. But my point is that features and signups can't be ends in themselves, as those are not real ambitions.
This is why I reflexively flag any articles I see from it on the front page. I tried taking the site seriously a few times and worked through all the assertions, but I came to the same conclusion you did. They have a certain way, and that way makes them not worth engaging with.

The way is too consistent to not have someone behind it carefully selecting writers and submissions. I think the writers think they're saying worthwhile things, and I think whoever's editing them is exploiting their good intentions.

It reminds me of how Gawker would exploit well-intentioned but inexperienced writers to drive ad impressions with poorly-argued positions on social justice. The writers didn't know they were dupes, and some of the editors probably didn't, but someone up the chain knew what was going on.

I learned Russian briefly. Our teacher told us that if we went to Russia and spoke Russian with a typical English accent, most people would not be able to place it, but would assume we came from a remote area they hadn't encountered before. Iirc English accents can pass as something from one of the Baltic states.
Agree, the problem in regards to spotify is that for a while spotify required facebook for new accounts.

The disconnect that led to that decision is absolutely mind blowing. To make it even more surreal lots of people, even on HN, defended it.

I understand what the GP was saying now (see my sibling comment).

The gambler’s fallacy can apply the other way, e.g. “This die has rolled over 3 many times, so it will probably roll 3 or lower next time.” So that's not really the issue.

Your dice example is not illustrating the point the GP is trying to make. It’s just comparing the probabilities of two outcomes of the same distribution (the sum-of-two-dice distribution).

This has nothing to do with the selection effect the GP is talking about. That would be recording the value of the die that rolled highest (i.e. taking the maximum over dice) and then focusing on the same die next time (i.e. not taking the maximum over dice).

It’s comparing the probability distribution of max {X_1, X_2, X_3, ...} with the probability distribution of any individual X_i. If A is sampled from the former and B is sampled from the latter, P(B < A) > P(B > A).
I was able to unlink FB my account with help from customer support. I had to provide details about my payment. They then basically deleted my account and created a new one and copied the playlists. There were some issues with Discover Weekly and Daily Mix playlists, but they resolved after a couple of weeks. I guess the process could be smoother and more automated, but I am glad now don't use FB login anywhere.
Ditto. And a Google search shows a full page of "table joins" for "joint table." Still not sure what a joint table is.

Side projects are good to gain experience, and to show that you are competent in a language that you claim to be competent in. However, past a certain point, it doesn't reflect much.

It's sort of like being a professional soccer player. At some point, training matches give very low returns compared to just kicking the ball at a goalpost 2 hours a day and dribbling around cones.

A lot of novice programmers have not learnt to build. A lot of intermediate programmers get stuck on the puzzles, aka algorithms and design patterns.
I'm curious how a volunteer organization will achieve the culture and technical maturity to make human rated hardware without a high probability of a horrible death. Think about all the conditions in a long chain of events that must all go right, in a launch, to avoid cooking, freezing, squishing, cratering, asphyxiating, poisoning, exploding, or drowning your crew.

After decades of practice, NASA ended up under 1:100 odds of mishap at the end of the Shuttle program, with some estimates at 1:25. It would be fair to say all space programs need to go through a learning period where you blow a lot of things up and discover all the failure modes. SpaceX ate through several billion dollars on this path, before dialing in their launcher reliability, and they still don't think they're ready for humans.

How will CS do all this learning and get everything right?
Infamous Neurological Injuries and Disease: Cases and Events (2015)
It's useful to contrast the effect of an Italian default on the European economy to e.g. Illinois defaulting on the American economy. The former is an existential crisis. The latter a bad day.

Europe's sensitivity to member states defaulting comes from its lack of an EU-wide deposit insurance scheme [1]. There was an opportunity to do this after the Greek crisis. But Germany's undercapitalized regional banks opposed the measure. (With centralized insurance comes centralized supervision.)

So when Italy's €2.4 trillion debt [2] implodes, it isn't shouldered by the EU's $18.8 trillion production base [3]. It wipes out every Italian bank. Which wipes out the Italian deposit insurance scheme. Which sends the pain straight to Italian pocketbooks, and through it, consumption. Meanwhile, French banks only get to rely on France's €2.3 trillion economy; German banks on Germany's €3.3 trillion economy; Malta's banks on Malta's €11 billion economy.

The last crisis could be called a growing pain. This next one will be the result of a broken political institution.

The B-2 was always a long range bomber capable of deploying both nuclear and conventional weapons. It needed to have the capability to reach and bomb Russia but that was never the only intended role.

It was also the first plane to drop JDAMs which are useful regardless of the tech level of the enemy.

It’s a long range bomber that was designed to fly long distances and drop bombs that entered service and flew long distances and dropped bombs.

No part of that history is “revised”.

Furthermore, maintaining military parity with geopolitical rivals is why we do not engage in conventional warfare with them. The MAD doctrine has proven to be effective for decades.

I’m happy to hear reasoned criticism of American foreign policy but the B-2 and F-22 are both performing exactly the jobs they were designed for. Both as combat vehicles and as deterrents.
Progressive media outlets consistently publish false and dishonest articles pushing their progressive narrative. Bullshit in its most exquisite, hand crafted, click-baity form. Just the right mix of anecdotes and calls to emotions to make it a pain in the ass to refute unless you want to roll up your sleeves and have a Twitter mob refer to you as some sort of fill-in-the-blank-ist.

The 500 is 'A class', the 500L is the 'B class'. The 500L is the one made in Serbia, again not brilliant for keeping Italian people gainfully employed on the production line. There are people selling the cars and fixing them in Italy so there is some economic utility there, however, manufacturing matters, just ask Donald Trump.

The 500 is designed with the female buyer in mind. The colours and retro-styling suits this audience and makes it a 'designer' car. If it looked like a Dacia Sandero and was priced accordingly then it would be a 'cheap car for the masses'.
Most likely they would place it in a shielding bag to cover both issues.
Sigh.

This seems to be a common pattern on HN where users make very strong negative claims about some person/organisation without even attempting to justify it.

I wonder if this is a conscious tactic where people who don't like some person/organisation attempt to attach negative emotions to it.

Hoping that people unfamiliar with it would feel negatively about it, without really knowing why they feel that way. "I just remember someone saying that it is bad."

I think what you’ve said is true. People interviewing typically opt for something they can apply to everyone. Therefore your side projects may be unfairly discounted.

Think you need to approach interviewing as a sport and consider how to get good at it separately . In the sport of interviewing your side projects are a fantastic asset but you need to know how to deploy your assets tactically.

> The ECB is the emitter of Euros. They run the whole system, so they always have the option to buy government bonds, for example.

There is a 33% limit imposed on the total amount of any country’s public sector debt that can be held by the ECB.

Now what you're saying is not just that the limit be increased but also that the ECB only buys Italian bonds, creating a moral hazard arguably as bad as any other outcome.

Have you read The Futurological Congress by Stanisław Lem? That's the first thing that came to my mind after reading about your profession.
There was patriotism even back then. There is a famous story about a merchant, after meeting the enemy army when traveling to another country to sell his cattle, gave all the cattle to the general claiming it was sent by the lord of the state. The general decided to retreat because he thought the intelligence about the invasion was leaked.

This event was recorded in Chinese history, and is still used to teach the kids.

Agree with the WordFence guy. It's more likely that attackers will target PHP apps rather than PHP itself. Probably not a big deal, but I also see the point of the Paragonie guy. Once PHP 5.x is EOL, there will be real incentive to go after PHP flaws, rather than PHP app flaws.

I actually refused to use Spotify for years because they required Facebook login. I gave in eventually as Rdio lost to Spotify in the market. Like many, though, I am deeply concerned about Facebook's policy direction and leadership. I did disconnect my Spotify account from my Facebook account the hard way (with customer support) a few months ago.

In general I am enthusiastic about federated signin, but I don't want to do business with Facebook.

You know when I wrote that comment I tried to predict what sort of replies I'd get. Unfortunately I did not preregister my hypotheses so it's all moot. Bullseye, tho.

Its obviously the case that there are shoddy progressive media sites. Huffington Post, for example. I guess you think you're clever that you could construct a grammatically parallel criticism of that sort of site? What's even the point of that? I don't read HuffPo either, you know.

Of course, your specific criticisms (I think its ridiculous that you called out all progressive media outlets, why cant you be more specific?) say more about your values and politics more anything.
> they always have the option to buy government bonds

The ECB is uniquely restricted, compared with other central banks, by "Maastricht treaty provisions that prohibit the ECB from financing member states" [1]. (These limits are "in terms of proportion of overall public debt (33 per cent) and of each country’s specific debt issue (33 per cent).")

The BBC et al are pushing this regional accents trend also, and I could manage (e.g.) Stacey Dooley's grating estuary English but for the fact she is apparently incapable of coming up with a single thought that isn't utterly anodyne and predictable. Must the two go together? Contrast her with Maggie Aderin-Pocock from The Sky at Night which I'll be settling down to watch later; the latter happens to tick all the right virtue signalling boxes, but also importantly has a massive brain and is accomplished, deeply knowledgable and interesting to watch. More presenters like the latter please.

As the other poster said, this is a standard Quillete article. Incomplete information and faulty reasoning dressed up to discredit progressive causes, and science surrounding these issues. Yes, it should be incredibly obvious that fewer women produces fewer sexual harassment complaints. I bet welding doesn't have too many women complaining abut harassment or discrimination either.

Quillete essentially a crypto, "respectable" outlet of the alt-right. I don't know whether this is a good book or not. It probably isn't. But the review is obviously an excuse to take a swipe at gender equality, while still acting smart and scientific.
