If inciting riots were really a problem, I wouldn't see antifa accounts on Twitter. I do see them, I found a dozen of antifa accounts, including Berkeley antifa, notorious for their violent actions. Nobody cares.

It all depends on the context of your statement.
The NYT article from yesterday detailing how millennials are now choosing trades instead of college supports my point
Here is a full proposal, I’d like some feedback:

The commentator is specifically asking where you draw the line and is making that the point that this case seems very different but has some of the same characteristics of the ostensibly more clear-cut cases. OP is specifically saying this is not the same brush.

It’s great to romanticize them, but this really was a low quality product that constantly broke down. Make no mistake, this was not a good product, even if it was cheap to repair.
Greg Egan has some great sci-fi books. Some of the concepts are a little beyond me as he dips into advanced mathematics and physics, but he does a pretty good job of keeping it accessible.

Permutation City, Diaspora, and his various collections of short stories (e.g. Axiomatic, Luminous) are worth reading.

He takes ideas, like what's linked in the OP, and builds worlds and stories around them in terms of their implications and impacts on society and individuals.
That seems consistent with studies suggesting exercise can reduce DNA methylation and that an increase in cardiorespiratory fitness is associated with a reduction in long-term mortality risks.

Good points but "where do you draw the line? It's not clear" is fair observation but not a conclusion. You DO have to draw the line and just because where to draw it isn't clear doesn't absolve you (or anyone!) from drawing it.
My issue comments are not being saved, and if I do a tag push I don't see that reflected on the "releases/tags" area of GitHub.
It's not clear those low-price low-quality products aren't legitimately listed first because most people prefer them.

Edit: ignore the above, I failed to read the part where they said the price was the same.
Ya I think thats a calculation many families have to make. I strongly agree with the other comment in terms of opportunity cost years down the road. I really see this with a lot of our friends. The wife often quits her job and stays home because our society really makes it hard to work as the mom of an infant and biologically that is typically easier (don’t even get me started on the cost of formula vs breastmilk). But they do miss out on those critical career years. Luckily we are both software engineers at well paying jobs and so the daycare isn’t as much as an issue for us. But it is hard to see others have to make these really hard decisions, so I guess I am outraged on their behalf. It is especially brutal because of most of the women leaving their careers haven’t finished paying off student loans. In this era of gender equality we have constructed a financial system where it doesn’t make fiscal sense for many women to get a college degree if they want kids. Anecdotally, teachers can’t afford to work and have a kid and nurses just barely can. These are by no means bad careers and its really just a very tough situation, not all of of us can be software engineers making Facebook/Twitter apps.
I just looked for a headphone splitter for an iPhone. Every result on the page had pretty high reviews, but when you click on the results and look at the reviews you see weird five star reviews like "great planner with a great cover" and "this was the perfect organizer for my daughter's drawers" at the top of the reviews for a highly rated headphone splitter. I don't know what's going on with Amazon, but I ended up going to best buy to look for peripherals.
Seymour Papert just rolled in his grave. Processing is great but it's far far from actually designed to teach programming. It stumbles into that rather than purposely gets there.

I’m sorry but this is a pathetic cop out.

Just because the financial system is global, it does not mean you have to launder money for drug dealers or other people with shady morals.

“The business needed the investment” is just code for you desiring an X-figure paycheck.

The other corollary of this - should we really be surprised that an anti-globalist like Trump is in power with lax attitudes such as the above?
Exactly! It's not about "tainted" vs. "untainted", it's about setting some limits and trying to be a part of the solution. Doing so puts in progress something that WILL start to shift things. You don't have to be money trail inspector, you just need to be your own ethical link in an otherwise ethically unknown chain.

You're responsible for making a reasonable effort where you think it's important not for the actions of everyone who has ever touched a dollar you're now touching.
The article kept saying that the reason Vancouver is such a target for Chinese wealth is because of how welcoming the city is. Even the conclusion was that still with the tax increase, there is no nicer place for rich Chinese foreigners to come too.

So it didn't seem to imply major issues of racism.

It seems to me its more of a logical stance. People can buy real estate and move to Vancouver, but it should be done in a way where the foreigner's arrival creates opportunities and a better life for the locals. All relationship has to be win/win.

Laundering money, leaving homes empty, not investing in the economy appart from real estate, these don't sound very beneficial. It seems its not even a big tax benefit due to loopholes.

Also, the measures put in place target all foreigner equally, Germans and British included.

You'll have to do more than argue the racist stance here, at least to convince me. Are there still racists in Vancouver? Yes (thoug in my own experience, a lot less then in most other western cities). Are they relevant to the topic at hand, I believe not at all.
> Tom: what tools did you use to build the OVF Enterprise image?

Early on it was a mostly manual process too inefficient to even discuss (shudder). Then we moved to a Vagrant-based solution to make upgrades from any version to the latest version more streamlined. Since then a lot has changed, and I’m not sure what the toolchain GH uses today is.

You sound like me stuck in my wantrepreneur fase. Identify your entreporn: startup podcasts, hackernews posts, influencers on Twitter, meetups. Either turn it into a real relationship (which means become a producer, instead of a consumer, stop talking, start doing) or cut these bad habits entirely: Like people who obsess over lotery tickets, because they really want to be rich, but don't have the patience to set up a solid plan. They give their brain something related to occupy itself with (the minute potential of winning the big prize) and call it a day.

Also realize that the game is rigged and not fair at all. You think Zuckerberg had to worry about covering hosting costs?
We Are Not Living in a Simulation. Probably
That will just create a shitload of low-effort noise in between useful reviews.
If you were a purveyor of fake reviews, you would want to track the reviews you peddled. It's knowable if reviews disappear over time.

What would be the incentive to come clean to Amazon about your own fake reviews? I don't think the people who sell fake reviews are likely to grow a conscience spontaneously.
Third party mechanics almost always require certification, so you can expect some level and legal ramifications to shoddy workmanship.

Yes! YES! Amazing advice! You’ll save yourself a lot of horror by doing this from the start. Listen to the podcast for a big discussion on this topic.

If the information you're searching for would have been in the next page, searching within the page would have been similarly "broken" in a paginated UI.

I'd guess that you could be required to sign a contract when you buy a stake that says that if you want to sell it or get bought out or merge, they also have to sign the contract. It's not realistic, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't happen.
Ask HN: How to get B2B customers
Hi,
Our product lets your wifi guests land directly on your webpages. Its a captive portal plus a local web server. http://www.100-xyz.com

We are focussing on restaurants and hair salons as our primary target. So far, we tried cold emailing with no success. We have just started handing out fliers and its too ealy to judge the effectiveness.

Any tips on how to get such B2B customers?

Thanks
It is sellers abusing product variation feature on amazon. Basically it works like that - they find out of stock product with high number of positive reviews, add it as a variation to their own product. Since this product is out of stock, it would not show up on the product page as an option to select, yet they gain all reviews/stars from that product. This needs to be reported to Amazon.

They're both cesspools.
I don't think I would agree to that model. I wouldn't like my money being held hostage for a review. If they give me a dollar discount, on the other hand, I would be much inclined to leave a review.
Isn't the solution to that problem branding and not nationalist policing by the retailer? I mean, reading your post I don't see what Amazon can do to make you happy except ban "chinese" manufacturers.

If you're seriously a regular buyer of these products, surely you have a few manufacturers that you know and trust, just like serious hobbyists in other activities have preferred brands of balls or shoes or guitar strings or whatever. Can't you just search for those?

Gaddafi's rise to power was a bloodless Coup [1], from the little understanding that I have, he was beloved by many Libyans, you should question where these "militias" that took him down came from, his dying words were 'What did I do to you?' [2], and you should question for what reasons should he be considered "tyrannical". Should you look at Libya today, it is ran by territorial gangs, which is antithetical to the idea that they rid themselves of a great evil. Finally I haven't fully educated myself on this, but it's very interesting, just reading the "Background" part of the Libyan Civil War wiki article makes you wonder: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libyan_Civil_War_(2011)#Backgr...

Another feature request/suggestion for this site: Quantity of ethernet ports. Also minimum bluetooth version.
I can understand why people would take blood money or seedy money (so long as it's legal from their end). I just don't understand why they can't admit to themselves that it's a little evil and go about their business like they'd do anyways. Nothing changes except you feel a little bad about yourself, probably, and the rest of us don't have to hear as many excuses.
I have read that. Not sold.

And to be clear, the intent is good. No problem.

I do not see a positive outcome, as in a healthy, balanced society with robust and meaningful checks and balances.

We need that. I do not trust the outcomes without it.
Nope. They could be GPGPU accelerated, but if you aren't rendering to screen then it's not typically graphics processor territory.

Plus modern codecs are quite linearly data dependent which is a bad for for a GPU.
If inciting riots were really a problem, I wouldn't see antifa accounts on Twitter.

Please cite antifa accounts on Twitter - not blocked - that are inciting violence.

Personal goal: gather ~$13,500 and buy the maxed out iMac Pro 2017 -- 4TB SSD, 128GB RAM, Xeon W (18 cores, 2.3Ghz, turbo boost to 4.3GHz, 42.75MB cache), 10Gb ethernet link, 4 USB Type-C ports, 4 Thunderbolt 3 slots, amazing display.

I view it as an at least 7 years of investment, if not 11-12 even.

(Especially now that macOS has a dark theme as well.)

I have a very keen interest in Linux and the people who make it happen... but reality is they are not dedicated teams of people working with high wages on Linux alone so problems with desktop always arise -- also competing standards, but the real problem is that a lot of end-user or specialized work software just can't run on Linux (3D modelling, architecture planning, professional design programs etc.). Truthfully, Linux on PCs is just fine but laptops are a whole different story.

I love Linux but for all its amazing engineering it remains a mostly programmer/sysadmin system and environment and nothing much else beyond that. I need a lot of stuff done outside of that and I have hobbies I wanna work on in the future and Linux just isn't cutting it. I don't want to hand-craft clever command-line configurations until I die.

Windows 10 is... I don't know, feels like it's going downhill overall. Important UX issues aren't being addressed for ages -- like the two sets of configuration UIs (almost everybody I asked says they were confused by that). WSL is good and useful, the cloud offerings look alright but something is just missing. Maybe the fact that after the April 2018 update the Mail program never managed to work with my mail again. Read about a "workaround" which involved resetting your user profile and... yeah, gave up. Who wants to restore their settings for a full workday just so a half-arsed mail program can work again? These things pile up and now I can't even tell you all my complaints nowadays because I never wrote them down -- only my accumulated impression, which is disappointment.

Windows is, in my opinion, descending.
In what way? Youtube runs on internal google hardware, GitHub runs on its own hardware too.

It could be a networking issue, but you'd expect more sites to be impacted.

If it were a software issue, you'd expect a big player like google to be aggressively patching and talking about a bad release.

More likely is its just a coincidence.
What's LTSB?
Our unwillingness, on a national level (and perhaps on a civilizational level, though I don't know very much about other countries) to speak plainly about this issue, and address it directly, is one of the most fundamental problems in all of healthcare.
As I said - ASAP. I come to my manager and ask "hey, can you spare N minutes for me?" If he can't, which obviously may happen, then I ask for convenient but close enough time when he's available. The form is up to me and him - we're having lunch quite often. For you a separate room might work better. Case by case, I guess. But again, it doesn't change anything I said - I am talking with him because there is a reason, so the meeting actually is meaningful, not because it's scheduled or because other companies doing it.
Interesting how everyone uses a tool designed to eliminate SPOF in a way it has a SPOF.
To me, "wantapreneur" is synonymous with the people who are big on talk or the trappings of startup life without actually making anything or are constantly looking for someone else to build out their big idea. At least you're building something on your own!

Of the many pieces of pg startup wisdom cited or linked to on HN, the one bit that sticks with me is just five simple words, from one of his early essays (1):

Make something that people want.

If you can figure that out, you'll be on the right track. You've made some mistakes; learn from them and make something better that customers truly want.

The new layout for profile pages is where I noticed this problem. No RES.
If they didn't itemize, you would complain that all you see is a bill for $1000, at $500/hour.

You would be asking what goes into that hourly rate.
But they didn't do that when they got power.
I never knew if the jokes were just cold war propaganda or entrenched in some kind of reality. The design of the Lada definitely went back some way. But for his needs it wasn't a bad car.

My dad tinkered with cars and did everything himself. Maybe from a consumer point of view the car wasn't great, but then judging by the comprehensiveness of the toolkit that came with the car it perhaps wasn't aimed at the average consumer.

I have since heard from other sources that the electrics could vary between perfect and terrible in Ladas, and that the bodies could be prone to rust. But both things were not uncommon with more mainstream cars of the time. I think the main problem my dad had was getting hold of parts in the UK.

> Another joke from that time "Why do Lada's have heated rear windscreens? To keep your hands warm while you're pushing them"

I remember many of those jokes being interchangeable with Lada and Skoda. Incidentally, my dad's next car was a Skoda Favorit. I'm not sure the jokes were really relevant there.

It is quite interesting how Skoda now enjoys one of the better reputations of brands under the VW group.
Quantity of SATA ports would be great as well. It is far too difficult to find an small ARM board with 4 SATA ports.
Have you dealt with one lately? They have zero power now.
An OS used by billions of people including government agencies, hospitals, and nonprofits is not some videogame that needs new content. It's mission critical software, and these utter delinquents are treating it like a Steam early release.

If MS won't get its act together, they should be regulated, broken up, or have their OS seized by eminent domain for the public good.
This is something I'd love to do except it sounds like you said, it requires some basic knowledge of EE etc. Maybe the basics isn't too hard but with the vast diversity of different types of electronics - it troubles me just thinking about troubleshooting what of the 100s of internal parts could be the issue.

I've done my own repairs for phone screens/boot loop issues etc. but they were considered super easy because they were popular phones (galaxy/iphone) and as such, guides were plentiful on youtube. I can't imagine similar resources would be available for, say, a random branded tv or a blender.

Screen fixes are super easy for phones as it's usually a take apart and replace the cables and put back in deal. Anything remotely difficult was fixing a bootloop issue on a galaxy s4 which required a multimeter to confirm the issue and a soldering iron but again, a guide on the exact issue told me exactly what to do.
Sounds like your someone finding reasons and excuses? You definitely can draw the line somewhere, many people do. It's not a binary choice and it sounds like you helped and encouraged some bad people. At least you have tons of money now, presumably, which...makes you more happy?
I think most Vancouverites would prefer the home buyers would actually immigrate here and move into their purchased homes, and start being taxed Canadian income on their foreign businesses and assets, while becoming a Canadian citizen. And eventually have them integrate into our culture and values, while maintaining their cultural heritage.

Now I don't have data, but I feel this would be true. It is for me. And if so, that also would clearly demonstrate to me this isn't a racial issue.

Personally, this seems much more like a financial issue. The Vancouver locals are seeing their cost of living go up, and their income go down. That's the problem, as simple as that.
I don’t, sorry. If regular pagination is at all an option for you, that’s a safe and user-friendly choice.
This assumes the companies are all equally competent. It’s easy for a company to misprice a segment and then gain over exposure as they are the cheapest option for that segment.

On it’s own that’s not a big deal, but if something like a slightly unusual seasonal flu happens to hit that segment unusually hard and suddenly they have a huge liability.
