There seems to be a logical flaw in your argument. There's an old saying: "Something must be done about this problem. My plan is something. Therefore it must be done!"

People may disagree on solutions while agreeing on problems, and disagreement with one solution out of many does not mean ignoring a problem.
Contractors are like lawyers. You're not paying them to argue your case. You're paying them because they have a professional relationship with all the other parties that's been built upon years of doing business with them.

The lawyer knows the prosecutor and the judge. The contractor knows all the inspectors and bureaucrats. They get favorable treatment compared to some nobody off the street. A huge chunk of what you pay them is compensation for all the time they spend building that professional relationship with the people who you need to appease. The fact that services are rendered is what blurs the line between business and corruption.

If an absentee owner is forced to sell or rent, great!

If a resident is forced to sell or rent, well, they'd be either selling to a wealthier, possibly absentee owner who can afford the massive price and higher taxes, or they'd be renting a basement suite (since they're residents). Most basement suites legal to rent are already on the market, I think.

There's a good chance that this would make the problem worse, by creating vacancies that nobody can afford to occupy. If it manages to crash the market, perhaps those people would be able to move back eventually or see their taxes drop in dollar terms, but it's not clearly a good thing.

Thank you. It's weird---Swift is a beautiful language as a language, but all these ecosystem things make it really really hard to use. (The worst IMO is package management---like, some libraries require cocoapods, and some work with swift package manager, but swift package manager for swift 3 and 4 are totally different, and how does Xcode vs command line fit into all of this and libraries vs frameworks and COME ON IT SHOULDN'T BE THIS HARD!)
Yeah, it's a big turn-off.

I think the game-ification of SO (in the form of badges, scores, privileges and rules) attracts personalities who crave that shit and don't see any problem with being harsh and dismissive to others that don't follow the rules (as they see them).

Regardless of how much SO may say that it's about "the community" rather than the individual, it BECOMES personal when an individual has a genuine problem and gets treated like crap.

The whole stack-exchange scene has become an incredibly weird place to ask a question. I find value in it and use it everyday, but I dread asking a question there.
That's to be expected when you live in a "nice" neighborhood.

By being industrious and efficient and building outside the box you violated the norms of the community and they take issue with that.

"banks are devising loopholes"

But Tarek El Diwany repeats himself.

There could be some real differences between conventional and Sharia-based lending, but, no sarcasm, banks are great at moving around risks in ways non-finance people can hardly imagine and it would be a trivial exercise for them to move the chips around to make the Sharia stuff merely appear to be Sharia while still being conventional, using the mass of conventional investments as raw material, in a way that also is set up so it works 99% of the time but will in some manner catastrophically fail in a Black Swan [1] event because of the games they played with moving risks around until even their own computers don't really understand it anymore.

[1]: Though as Taleb says, is it really a "Black Swan" when it was really quite predictable all along, if you just reject their statistical framework and use something with more realistic fat tails?

It’s hoped that the Kashoggi Affair is something that will truly catalyze change in that regressive society.

And hey, if a Tunisian burning himself to the ground started the Arab Spring, maybe Kashoggi can catalyze a change in our US Foreign Policy.

The most interesting question is whether the dead Intel process node should be blamed on bad choices (e.g. deferring adoption of EUV lithography) or on incompetence, and also on shortsighted financial management or on optimistic/clueless technical leadership: we can live without Cannon Lake CPUs, but where will Intel be in 5 years?
I think the need for, or at least the level of reliance on, a site like Stack Overflow is an example of how utterly messed up the "profession" is compared to other engineering and non-engineering professions.

Hi everyboddy!

My name is Maksim and I'm here to present you my second launched project - Taggy. I was going to do the same with my first one, DailyQ, but unfortunately, I shut it down right after launching it. But hopefully, I'm not going to do the same with the current project.

Taggy is a desktop application for fast saving texts, links or images using only shortcuts. With Taggy you don't need to copy-paste anything or even open an application. Everything you need to do is copy whatever you want to save (any text, link or image) and press a special shortcut for saving. That's it, easy huh?

And after you finish working, reading or whatever you were doing, you can open an application, open tab 'Unsorted' and sort everything how you want - you don't have to worry about it while you are focusing on something else.

Let me know what you think about Taggy and how you think I can make it better :)

Ridiculous valuations of unicorns by late-stage VCs are driven more by FOMO than by any rational economic analysis. It's like when everyone in an office pools their money to buy lottery tickets.

There are two equitable solutions: either allow everyone to opt-out of Social Security, or allow no one to. The second is closer to the system we have now; the first would require major changes (subsidizing retirement for low-income workers from income tax instead of SS tax). It's also possible that the 10th Amendment may prevent the federal government from mandating state/municipal employee participation.

The US federal government previously had a system similar to state pensions (CSRS), but employees hired after 1983 are required to be enrolled in the new system (FERS) which includes Social Security. There's also another difference: the federal government has far better internal controls than most of its states.
TLDR: If you use regular push notifications (even for legitimate purposes like keeping up-to-date info in the app) then you can tell when someone uninstalls your app. If you wanted, you could then market to that person.

Considering this is going on for several hours now, their SLA is down to at least 99.9 and going down by the hour. Their business SLA is 99.95% (though I have no idea what it refers to), so it's quite possible that they are in breach.

I definitely think that you're right about that, that the HN community is not the target audience but more of a board of critics taking a look. That's why after launch, I spent time (and money) into finding out what the target audience actually was and where to find them. I thought the brand strategist had a pretty good idea of the market, but no target users found so far.

Interestingly, many new homes around me have pre-built sections which are assembled/attached at the site.

The most common I've seen are wall sections which are studded and sheathed in a warehouse, sometimes with exterior covering as well (Hardie board most commonly), then delivered via crane truck. Trusses are also common.

Depends on the builder, really. Also the lumber supplier. There are many around me, they seem to offer this service as an advantage.

Builders who do this pre-assembly have a significantly quicker completion time, especially considering the weather, and their ability to get the roof and windows/doors in before the rains come.

> using ingenuity to trick money out of americans, that's a recurring theme in the modern world.

Fake reviews aren't "ingenuity," they're dishonesty and fraud that exploit a high-trust culture.

High-trust cultures are valuable, hard to create, and easy to destroy. The reaction to all this online review fraud is going to be default mistrust and wasted effort by consumers who are going to be forced to constantly second-guessing information or get scammed.
Why do American politicians allow their people to be conned into thinking that there will be some "automatic" growth somewhere in their state/country that will automatically yield benefits in their pensions?

That lie, that something in the US will ALWAYS lead to gdp growth is the root of all yield chasing fiascos of American pension underfunding. There is no way that gdp will increase without a rise in working age population (especially with no immigrants) or a dramatic increase in automation which can be taxed.

FYI for any youngsters who don't realize what a con job this is: The recent tax cuts have created massive deficits which will collapse debt availability and thus economic growth and thus tax revenues and thus social security payments when you get unemployed (or old).
The assumption that developer time is lost when Github is unavailable is wrong. The whole idea of Git being a distributed VCS that it does not require any connection to the main server (i.e. Github) to work with a local copy of the repository. If Github is down, I can still do my work locally and then push changes to Github when it's back online. The only case when I may get blocked, is when I need to fetch project dependencies hosted on Github to do the initial build of my project, which doesn't happen very often.

Since your domain is very niche, you have to do marketing as well as targeted sales. Have you reached out to potential customers and asking them to use your service?

Also please consider making this a B2B enterprise product. To do that the main thing you need to do is hide the price or put insanely high prices. like $999 per year per license and above. If you are hiding prices, put a button to contact the sales team, which could be your phone number to start with.

Also put some white papers and add a lengthy demo with your own voice with an actual project, like Wordpress being protected and ask them to contact your sales if they need to enable the protection in their software as well. The demo could be put behind a sales form to collect contact details.

And hide your technology details. They don't need to know how you do it. Just give instructions on how to put enable your validation. Since you don't have a free tier it's very easy for you to validate your project's success. Just reach out to X potential customers (it's very easy for you to figure out potential customers too) and ask them to try your product. Give a 6 months money back. I
