The 1403 has electrically-controlled valves to send fluid from the constantly-running pumps to the hydraulic motor to do a space (line feed) or skip (form feed). There's a back pressure bypass valve that relieves the pressure when the printer advance stops.

The 1403 Field Engineering manual goes into great detail on the hydraulic system, starting at page 56. The momentum when stopping is described on page 62. Link: http://ibm-1401.info/0KenShirriff/IBM_Field_Engineering_Manu...
Gecko is deep in to a transitional phase. Once it comes out the other end it may be simple to embed but it's currently far too early for that.

On the other hand Chromium is relatively simple to adapt with many real world examples to learn from.

Regarding Microsoft's decision to stop development of Flight Simulator in 2009, I offer two data points:

1) The legend around Flight Simulator was always that there was one and only one reason why Microsoft published it: because Bill Gates thought it was cool.

2) Bill Gates stepped down from his day-to-day responsibilities at Microsoft in June 2008.

Gradually decreasing your caffeine consumption until you reach a healthy level probably makes more sense than going cold turkey.

The next time you get a coffee craving at work, stop and think about how you are feeling and what you really want. My guess is that you are feeling anxious and distracted. My guess is that coffee isn't really what you want. What you want is to get away from your desk, take a break, and feel less anxious and distracted. Am I right?

While a good cup of coffee helps us get going in the morning, too much caffeine can cause anxiety. If anxiety is the root issue, you are essentially stuck in a feedback loop by attempting to treat your anxiety with something that is causing more anxiety. Try CBD oil. I use Exlininol brand, specifically the liposome formulation. Also, you can take a break, get up and walk around without getting coffee.

I've made a guess which may be dead wrong, so apologies if I'm barking up the wrong tree here.
> During our call, the founder - whose startup is backed by a top-tier VC - said to me “I assume that you acquired your first users through paid marketing.” Really? Is this an assumption nowadays?

WOAH, a top-tier VC AND they did something you don't consider to be a best practice!? HERESY! Flagrantly discrediting the meritocracy you think might be necessary to get in the presence of - let alone the PORTFOLIO of - a top tier VC!

Also, that company is still right. Yes, this is an assumption nowadays. Congratulations on getting some funding after doing it your way.
There are of course worse projects. He was just unlucky that the government made an example of him. Still, probably people in Chinese healthcare research will be more careful from now on probably.
I'm not affiliated with glassdoor, but I would hope that they already do some data analysis to weed out biased reviewers.

You're right that reviewers have less incentive to participate than the targets of the review, employers.

Is there a different business model where a site like Glassdoor could align their incentives with the free-user employees?
On the surface they're quite similar, I agree. I won't pretend that Firefox has some whole separate UX decision process that's ruining it for me. It is, like all decisions between similar products, a matter of my own pet nit.

I dislike Firefox's zooming behavior. I have to zoom into websites because I have poor vision. Chrome's zoom behavior has been extremely natural for me, and easy to adjust to. When I used Firefox I attempted to use 'vanilla' as well as an extension that aimed to improve the zooming behavior by separating scale of text from scale of other elements, etc.

I was unable to find a solution that worked for me. I hated using the extension, which itself had a pretty bad UX, and I couldn't get preferences to save properly for individual webpages.

I can't use a browser with poor zooming behavior, I rely on it too much. As I write this I am zoomed in 250% in Chrome, for example.

Those pet-bugs or pet-nits are, in my opinion, the huge thing that keeps people from moving (alongside the perceived friction of moving data over). I wouldn't read too much into mine.

In this case it doesn't appear that the government intends to mass-decrypt data, but rather only tap into targeted individuals' communications.
I don't want to be too critical because I (naively) agree with the idea, but all of the suggestions in the blog post cost time/money. I'm especially thinking about start ups that have a large technical component and have limited resources. You've got that thing in the back of your head where you are going, "I need to spend time marketing. Or I need to spend time writing code. Or I need to spend time making real sales. Or I need to spend time gathering requirements from potential users. Etc, etc".

It's easy to think about founder-effort as being nominally zero cost, but there is always a cost of lost opportunity. Choosing what to do is important. If you have cash that you can spend that will make one of the things on your TODO list disappear, that's a pretty sweet thing.

It's always going to be a judgement call as to what to spend time vs money on. In my (again naive) way of thinking, you should probably take a hard look at yourself (and any other partners you have) and decide what your "value-add" is. If you could make a unicorn simply by spending money, then everyone would do it. It's the people who make the difference and so you need to be realistic about where you are going to make that difference. Prioritise the areas where you are needed (and are able to make a difference) and spend money on the areas where it matters less.

I'm surprised at the lack of support (hacker news) for Safari. It's a fantastic browser, made by people who have a track record of not being evil with data. I know that might seem like a big statement, but in the face of Google I will happily trust Apple.
I would have left on the spot too. It’s never taken me more than three weeks after I started looking to find another job. My record is walking off a contract at lunch Monday, calling a recruiter and getting an offer from what was then a Fortune 10 (non tech) company Thursday.

Admittedly, it may take me longer to find a full time salaried job making what I make now, but I’m sure I could find a W2 contract job that pays sufficiently in a month by calling a few local recruiters that I’ve worked with.

I’m no special snowflake. Jobs are plentiful for software developers who have kept their skills in line with the local market in most major metropolitan areas.

The most egregious sharing and it results directly in identity theft is the sharing of your financial information after getting a credit card.

I didn't have my own credit card until a couple months ago. I am old. As soon as that thing landed, I now get a constant stream of junk mail with my name and contact info plastered all over it telling me I need insurance, annuities, death insurance, more credit cards, financial management, etc.

This should be illegal.

The banks should be 100% on the hook for identity theft, they caused this themselves. Infact, I signed up for the Amazon Prime Card and they incessantly try to get me to upgrade to "account protection". How about YOU protect my account, you sent me the card (which appears to NOT have a mag stripe or a chip and pin, rendering it useless except online), how about you only authorize its use for Prime purchases shipped to my house? I really should stop using Amazon. Garbage.

Same with Firefox. In fact, I rarely open PDFs outside of Firefox, and when I do, it's either in Edge (if I'm on Windows) or Evince (on Linux). I never use Abobe Reader, so there's very little chance that I'll get attacked.

And yes, I failed that question because I assumed that it's information that I was expecting. I don't open PDFs unless I am expecting it, because who wants to spend the time waiting for it to download and render for something that's likely spam?

I don't necessarily agree with the author. Her suggestions for how to get early users are all good ones, and by all means, do them all if you can! Except producthunt -- that one's a rigged vote with its own secret influencers. Google around, you'd be surprised how deep the rabbit hole goes!

But back to my point: there's nothing wrong with trying some Google or Facebook ads. Don't spend too much up front! Google will try to get you to broadly target a bunch of generic words. You should resist that pressure and use their keyword research tool to home in on specific phrases that your potential customers often search for.

Once you have your phrases, just put in $500 and see what happens. If you pick up a handful of customers who pay you $1000 over the next 6 months, then you're golden! Put in $5,000 next time and see if you can turn it into $10,000. Honestly, this kind of thing works for some businesses and people end up dumping as much as they can into ads. Don't ignore this strategy just because it's not as "sincere" or "personal" or something.

A private key is only valuable if the person knows what the key is for and how to use it. Stealing a random looking string off an RFID can't be that valuable unless it's a very targeted attack.

On my phone, I didn't see the TLD, and depending on the type of school, a .org is completely reasonable (e.g. private school). In fact, the types of schools I would be interested in a financial report from would potentially not use a .edu TLD.

And PDFs are mostly harmless if you don't use Adobe Reader, since it's either a small attack vector or in a sandbox.

Strange. My Amazon prime credit card has a chip and a mag stripe, and I continue to get very little junk mail even after having their card for a while...
I must absolutely disagree with you: in my opinion the problem of fake news stems from compartmentalisation of news sources (lack of their diversity), rather than lack of actual facts in the news sources.

The fact that you can read about the same topic in several (more often opposing) ways is already a reason to red-flag the piece in the first place. This isn’t readily available through any of the current newspapers. Everyone has an opinion.

I would happily pay for an aggregator that simply ejects facts (stated facts, not truths) from the stories. Then combines that with similar other pieces.

All those other reasons you mentioned are contingent on zoning. Allow highrise apartments anywhere in the Bay area and just watch how fast the buildings go up and the rent goes down.

This is off-topic, but I felt the same way about most data privacy problems. It was my own browser that was giving out the information and I would still like to see better control over it by default. Data privacy laws are simply a bandaid that don't help at all against malicious actors.

I don't really think you have to subsidize anything. Zone for density and sq. ft ensuring there is a stable _variety_ of each, zone housing and business only so each can be equal to the other in population (basically as many people commuting out of your city as commuting in), and tax vacancy 10x occupied rates. Let the market free within those confines.

If a city does not want to add much density, I am fine with that as long as they are not allowed to keep adding jobs.

It get extra interesting when you learn to read Thai script, you can really see how they have tried to write the English words in Thai script and how the Thai speech/reading rules "breaks" the word.

For example Apple, in Thai it is written แอปเปิ้ล with each Thai character trying to be 1:1, for example แอ=ae ป=p (loosely). The interesting part is at the end, ล this character on its own is generally pronounced as an L. So for the English word, they put the L at the end to make the word apple. But - in Thai, characters have different sounds depending on their locations, ล is pronounced N when it is placed at the end of a syllable - so "apple" in Thai is generally pronounced "appen" instead.

That’s actually not possible on iOS. The content blocking framework only allows a third party ad blocker to submit a JSON file to the system and the rules are processed by Safari.

If you are referring to the quote below, that applies to the Mac version. The iOS version uses a share sheet extension that uses an out of process extension where you have to explicitly share the link you want to block.

Safari warns me that 1Blocker Menu has access to webpage content, why?
We use this permission in order to get information about current tab's domain when you select whitelist option. Sadly, there's no technical way to request just this functionality from the system, so we have to request full access to webpage content (which may include your sensitive information). However, we understand how important this data is and only use the domain. We do not transmit or process your data in any other way. Feel free to disable 1Blocker Menu if you don't like this (you'll still be able to block content).

I was going to add a stipulation about the about:settings type stuff being different and what not, but chose not to originally. My thinking was how often are you in settings that it's a problem? I'm not a browser power user, so I only go in to the settings usually after reading something here. I set it, and forget it. Maybe 30 seconds?

As far as dev stuff, I'm really only familiar with Firefox after Firebug was rolled into the browser so that it is similar to Chrome with a Cmd-Option-i key press. I hear people stating that the dev tools are still very different. All I really ever use it for is seeing how the DOM is changing in the inspector, looking for output in the console, and see what files are doing (404,200,500, params/response, and CSS values type of stuff. Both browsers do what I need in a way that I can't tell the difference.
