Ask HN: Are there any OSS frameworks for site subscriptions?
Since many start-ups need a site with user registration, login, and (optionally) paid subscriptions, you'd think there would be a set of common OSS frameworks for doing that.

For example: a node-based site using Auth0 for identity management, Postgres for user management, Stripe for subscriptions, etc., would seem like a common setup.

Are there just too many variations possible for this to be practical?

Any pointers?

San Francisco is actually a good example of what NIMBYism does. Zoning restrictions and rent controls that are unrivaled in the US did everything to that city you've just stated as things to avoid while attributing them to "MegaCo".

The housing market by its nature has a weak flexibility to adapt to new demand. NIMBYism acts like a lever on that inflexibility.
That might be true in San Francisco, but across the Bay Area as a whole enrollment is actually rising at many primary schools.
Have you ever listened to the Serial podcast? There is an interesting episode in season 3 where they touch on this. He reached for his pants is police speak for "I used violence against a person and I need an excuse".

Reaching for your pants isn't a crime worthy of an immediate death sentence.
Huh, interesting, I don't believe that's consistent with Google's use of the term from what I remember, but that does seem to be the meaning I'm finding now.

Snapchat loses 2M more users in Q3 as shares sink to new low
According to https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kidnapping_in_the_United_Sta... (although the numbers are not super clear), the kidnapping is almost nonexistent outside of parents kidnapping their kids. It seems other cases are at ~100 a year.

I'm ignoring the kidnapping by parents in this case, because they don't seem swat-worthy. Children are likely kidnapped by parents that want them, rather than with intention to hurt them / get ransom. (Yes, it can be also an unstable person who lost rights for a good reason. I don't have stats on that though :-( )

The scenario is such that someone minding his own business, not committing any crimes, nor reason to suspect HE is the suspect of an alleged crime, reached for his pants (which may have been falling down, who knows, what would you do in that situation?) and was shot dead for that.

The fact that police were ordering him to do this really doesn't matter – we have a system where seemingly normal actions are suddenly immediate death sentences due to a rapidly changing context.

And if people jump on me and think I am saying you should not obey police orders, then you were not reading what I actually said and completely missed the point.
Ransom is when someone takes from you and only returns what they took when you meet their demands.

Tesla didn't take anything from the buyers of the car owners who paid for 60 kWh capacity. It gave them what they wanted, it just happened to delivery it in a vessel that could hold 75 kWh.

Rather, the car buyers were offered the option to purchase the exact same car at a reduced price because it was artificially limited to 60 kWh.

I'm not clear what people are upset about. Are they saying Tesla should have made 60 kWh packs or sold the 75 kWh packs at two prices and hoped most people would opt to pay more money?

In the former scenario an owner of a 60 kWh car would have to replace the entire battery to upgrade or trade in their car to a higher capacity if they found they needed it. In either case their costs would be higher than just paying to unlock the restricted capacity.

In the later scenario Tesla loses money because no one opts for pay them more money for the same product.
The policy hasn't inconvenienced users much at all, I'd know because I see any unblock requests, so why not? As I keep saying, it is just one of many safeguards in place against malware and phishing, we are not under the delusion that it is anything other than that.

I have an old Thinkpad T23, it's about 15 years old. It can run Windows 7 (with aero off) perfectly well, and also stuff like Libre Office. Linux is not so good on it, due to having to play with the graphics drivers, which I've never really got working.

It all falls apart when you want to use the Web. A Thinkpad T23 with a Pentium3 CPU just cannot render Modern Websites at acceptable speeds.

That's still not enough. Even if bad guys are already using the exploit in the wild, it still isn't responsible to immediately make it public. If the exploit isn't already public, that means the bad guys are treating it as something to be traded in secret. (And of course, the only reason we're discussing this is that the exploit is not already public.)

Instantly publishing the details of the exploit may well broaden its use by bad actors, by reducing its market price to zero.
That's consistent with Google promotions though -- being promoted doesn't mean going up in the org chart.
You bring up a phenomenal point.

Even though modern gasoline especially in California burns quite clean, it's easy to forget that every bus and truck out there is burning horrendous diesel.

I was in the New York Port Authority Bus Terminal for a few hours the other day and it just felt toxic, I felt so bad for people who spend time there every single work day of their lives.

Let alone the vast majority of the world's population whose streets are completely choked up with buses and completely dirty fuels. It'll take a while but you're right this is going to seriously change lives at grand scale.
I think it has to do with laws being based off of belief and intent. Doing it based on false intentions or recognized frivolity is required and eyewitnesses are unreliable enough to have vast degrees of plausible deniability. See someone in black trying the door heavily when they try to housesit the wrong house and you could reasonably believe them a possibility armed burglar. Similarly calling 911 on a "cougar" which is simply a big stray cat isn't a crime even if it turns out to be a total waste of time. I think they would basically have to get caught conspiring to make false calls for it to remotely stick - just being a racist asshole isn't enough.

There was one case I heard about a senile old woman who was just functional enough to retain independence legally. She called the police many times over every little thing but couldn't be charged with abuse of 911 because she was sincere and thought there really was a threat from say the landscapper showing up at a neighbor's house. One case was someone trying to get her out of her house and institutionalized - the police showed up and asked the guy to leave and let him know the situation - yes she isn't the best but there is nothing we can do about it legally.

Well, _technically_ I worked for one where it functioned in a hands-off way. The big difference was, the parent company was a holding company specialising in a certain industry, and us functioning differently from their other properties was the whole point.

In this case, I expect things to go the What's App way: it's going to be long and slow, but MS will eat it eventually.

Google probably thought "Hey, what's the coolest part of Berlin, where we'd make engineers happy to be in?" and that's about it. "Subtleties"[1] about why it's cool, or what its response to Google being there, probably weren't considered.

After the selection had occurred, the procurement machine had been tasked and at that point it takes a lot of resistance to stop that machinery.

The parent seemed to be describing a situation where there was a market whereby good talent will inherently flow from bad projects to good projects within an organization. I think my point is they usually don't migrate to a new project within the company, they migrate to another company.

It's true that good IC-level work is often a waste in an organization whose management is too dysfunctional to be focusing on the right things, but an org where all the good people leave is going to find itself in trouble.
I disagree with the GP's characterization of the swatter as "just making a phone call", but agree with the point that there should be consequences for the shooter. The investigation into the officer was clearly a farce, given that he shot a man dead without any sign of danger.
To state it more clearly than some of the other comments, part of the code insight this paper provides is the following:

Subject to transformation of your program into the first order / categorical representation, reverse mode auto differentiation is simply about

1) transforming the program into the continuation passing style category (this “flips” the shape of the compose operation in the category of our program)

2) do the same calculation / transform as you’d do for forward mode. Aka the really simple derivative calc we learn in high school.

There’s an extra trick to be done to make things even better, but that’s the meat of it. That reverse mode becomes (almost) as simple as forward mode to implement. Subject to your language being in this sort of categorical first order representation :)

Reverse mode being simple by any name to explain is a huge innovation alone.
I wouldn't at all be surprised if it's far more common for police getting jumpy to result in physical harm to hostages than police being cautious and prudent does.

The whole point of taking hostages is to try and slow the cops down, and get yourself some leverage in negotiation. If the police are acting in a way that makes it seem like that's not going to work, then the hostage-taker will stop seeing those people as being useful as hostages, and start making decisions accordingly.
Generally if someone makes a solid argument or valid points, regardless of whether or not I agree with them then I upvote them. If I disagree I try to reply and explain my perspective.

I reserve downvotes for absurd or baseless remarks, attacks, and other noise.

People like to downvote off topic or sarcastic remarks, I generally ignore them (neither upvote/downvote) because I think making light of topics isn't necessarily a bad thing and can engage people in a discussion.

* I say generally because no one is perfect and I don't strictly adhere to the above.
I do not know Berlin very well, I've only spent a few weeks there, but I get the impression they would have faced a lot less backlash if the announcement had been "hey we're gonna build this awesome new office campus at Aleksanderplatz".
The problem is that we can't help the extreme case. We need to be realistic. If we really wanted to prevent every hostage situation we could have a police car parked on every intersection in the country 24/7 so that they are never more than 15 seconds away from a call. Clearly this is ridiculous. We accept that sometimes police take a few minutes to reach an emergency.

Equally we as a society need to be grown up and accept that sending a specialist armed team to respond to an event that has been shown to happen less often that people win the lottery is clearly unrealistic. Claims like this can be handled by regular policing forces who can call upon backup if necessary.

To be fair he's just pointing out a fact. If we're going to talk about this then let's get the facts straight.

I do not think he was justified in shooting but I also don't think the cop should face jail time or anything. We need to change our process in handling dangerous events due to swatting. It's the reality we live in.
I don't particularly think they're "over-militarized" in the ways people say. I see a lot of emotional outpourings by people about how the police shouldn't have armored vehicles or even rifles. The point of these things is kinda to prevent close quarters conflicts.

The problem, I think, is that they are being asked to do these rapid entries when a) they have no idea what is actually going on in these buildings and b) they are not trained like Yamam and importantly c) most reports of this nature are not false, so when they show up to these scenes they want to save the innocent and live to tell about it, not die in the line of fire and watch the innocent die with them, and occasionally d) some get into this line of work with a deranged mindset, and just want to feel what a "justified killing" feels like (and it seems like weeding these people out is never a perfect science).

I think as long as people are sitting around complaining that the police sometimes use rifles (something I've seen even in Canadian cities), nobody's getting anywhere on actually solving the problems involved.

The fact that the police rely on the trustworthiness of reports like this is why false & malicious reports are criminal. The police are generally not able to validate your claims, so they either go in and risk making a horrible mistake, or they do nothing and wait for the situation to "mature".

See my other comment in this thread. The Huawei does not have anything close. Look at the dxomark review. The Huawei is comparable to both the pixel 2 and iPhone in the dark shots, and may be better or worse depending on the photo. Now look at this:

I know this is true because I've tried it. I have the camera loaded on a pixel 2, and the iPhone is pitch dark in images where the pixel is fully illuminated with night sight.

Nat Friedman has cofounded Xamarin, he understands Open Source and I'm sure he'll do well as CEO of GitHub. I'm cautiously optimistic about it.

Microsoft could pull a Skype of course, but on the upside this might turn out to be a good thing, as in this climate many businesses, operating at scale and giving away so many freebies, are struggling and GitHub could have been the next SourceForge.

Who knows, maybe they'll even open source it. Fingers crossed.

When I was a teenager I preferred white text on a black background. (Think of the DOS terminal.)

In my very early 20s, I suddenly found white text on a black background extremely irritating. Suddenly, my vision was filled with persisting horizontal lines. (Like what you get when you look quickly at a light bulb.)

Maybe it's because DOS was really grey on black, but on the web, people typically do bright white on black?
I think it's less likely that Google was unaware of Kreuzberg's identity, and more likely that Googlers still think they're "cool". The sort of people who have offices with built-in slides and ball pits and crud may feel like they "belong" there.
> So, wait, the guy who made a phone call is going to prison

As he should

> but the guy who murdered an innocent person has not faced any consequences?

The guy who sent the SWAT team at all, as a first response to a single phone call, should be facing consequences.

And the police in general in the US seem to need to calm the fuck down. Whether the guy that pulled the trigger should be culpable is definitely something that should be examined in court.

Seems like a whole series of bad actors.

Opinion.
Yea and this is purely driven by Apple needs. For e.g on Apple the UI is desturated so dark mode just means go darker. But for e.g on Linux with Arc theme, dark theme has a blueish tint, so the website using dark theme will look bad on Arc theme desktop.
We should at least add the option hue & saturation to light/dark setting. Then the app/website would at least fit color-wise with the theme of the OS. But only dark/light is assuming all themes are desaturated which is true for Apple but not necessarily for other platforms
You'll find that lots of ccTLDs have worse rates of abuse than many of the new gTLDs. It mostly comes down to domain price. TLDs that are cheap for the first year tend to have the highest rates of abuse.
