> That kind of stuff is ultimately just a frame. A way of exploring, selecting destinations, and allowing the unexpected to happen. The premise itself isn't the point.

Exactly. I'm doing an A-to-Z of half-/full- marathons. It started as an idea stolen from another runner: a challenge to see how quickly I could cram them in. But as I started searching for options (and going through those already on my "I'd like to do that one or visit there some day" list) it has morphed from 26 UK road halfs in two years or less, to a much wider spread over several years, still many road runs but a number of beautiful looking trail adventures too, taking the time to visit places and at least superficially explore them, seeing things I wouldn't normally see, taking regular proper breaks from my normal daily grind.

If anyone else has a problem with this, it is their problem. It is going to be rather good for my enjoyment of the next few years and I might make some memories that will last much longer than that, and it all started from that somewhat arbitrary initial goal.
One of the reasons we have a society at all is to prevent us hunting each other for whatever reason, all for the common good. When that stops working, the society falls apart. Good luck going through a communist revolution better than others though.

Yeah and if the client volunteers the list of all it has in cache it would result in some massive requests and a kind of quasi-cookie.

I always found this feature interesting but weird.
I also have this impression. It is influenced a lot by the personal political view of the researchers. It seems it has a hard time of staying objective.

While in physics, math, computer science, etc. it's way easier to stay politically neutral, because there are no politics involved. In these sciences, the money is also pointing in the right direction.

What I mean by that last part is, for example nutrition studies always have different parties that want the science to point to a different direction. Sugar, meat, ... industries try to influence those things a lot.

> They often write better English than English developers as well.

I do have a working theory for why that is.

In my home country of Romania, as well as throughout most of Eastern Europe, it is part of the culture to actively and condescendingly correct other people's grammar. I'm still not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but some people take it very seriously.

As an example, if someone would make a common mistake, such as "your" instead of "you're" in English, chances are that he or she would get corrected or even laughed at. I don't recall ever seeing this sort of behaviour in the UK, though I'm sure it happens.

- I have a simple custom web UI for managing mailboxes and aliases in the PostgreSQL database.

- I have postfix/dovecot setup with virtual mailboxes. I avoid DB/postfix interaction by simply dumping DB into a static postfix config files (this is much lighter on resources, than having postfix connect to the database, and much less complicated). I don't use catchall address.

- I use POP3 to get mails from my VPS, to avoid storing archive there, and to avoid having to deal with IMAP in my mail client and filtering scripts

- I use neomutt as a mail client. It has some nice options, like reverse_alias (which I use to display names of my private aliases)

- Neomutt can read configuration from a stdout of some command. I use this to generate aliases and other config options, that make it so that when I reply to something delivered to a private alias, the reply will be sent from that alias too. Using this I can have a single Inbox.

- I filter e-mail using a PHP script (it parses the e-mail, checks the alias database, and decides whether to pass the message to bogofilter, Junk, or Inbox)

Aside from adding aliases to the database, there's no other manual work.

You can probably avoid the database by having some scheme, where address is servicename.[substr(sha256(servicename+secret), 10)]@domain.com and filter/whitelist/highlight on the hash validity.
Look at it from the perspective of an investigator who believes that there are Americans providing financial assistance to a caravan that turned violent, as well as the ordinary customs enforcement duty to ensure that large amounts of cash do not cross the border. If you don't know which Americans were involved, but suspect several who were present at a particular event, it may make perfect sense to question them every time you see them at the border, and search them (at the very least) for money. The fact that a lot of the intrusive questions that the reporter complained about were financial in nature (e.g. "Do you own or rent your home?" or "Who pays for your travel?") seem entirely consistent with this mission.

I agree that it is surveillance, but you seem to forget that that's one of the things law enforcement does in an investigation.

Ask HN: How to manage client feedback for non-CMS apps?
Hey HN - I've started doing some full-stack contracting this year, and I've run into a problem with handling a large volume of style, copy, and layout feedback from my client.

It's a WIP React application that contains a decent number of hard-coded static pages. Every day or so, the client comes to me requesting some additional sections or style tweaks.

It's legitimate feedback too, since they're out demoing the application to their customers and seeing how it performs in the wild.

What's a good way to handle this situation? Years ago, I used Wordpress for this sort of thing, and could easily hand the keys to the kingdom to the client and let them manage the changes themselves. There were even some widgets that let people control styling!

Creating an admin panel seems overkill for this, even an off-the-shelf one like Django Admin, since the content is probably not going to be updated once we finalize it.

How should I go about this? Any tools that would let semi-technical users change a website's copy and style easily?

We had nginx running as a proxy for one of the apps. It runs on RHEL 7 because that's the standard for the enterprise. The stock nginx available in nginx did not support http/2.

* There is no chance someone will approve this server to run a nginx instance someone compiled themselves

* There is no chance someone will approve this server to run anything but nginx as that's the company standard for proxy servers.

* There is no chance someone will approve this server to install software from a 3. party yum repository. (And that's even a much bigger chance than someone allowing the firewall in front of that server to allow outgoing connections to the internet, so installing form 3. party repos could even be performed)

In the end there was likely 2 ways to get http/2 support for that service:
* Pay some 3.d party to make it happen and be responsible for that server.
* Wait until nginx in RHEL (the epel repository, which was approved and mirrored internally) supported http/2.

We did the latter, which happened many months later.

Hipster whines at tech mag, discovers pic was of an entirely different hipster
Whilst I agree with the underlying premise, there's a touch of what the kids are calling "privilege" these days in the blog post that's entirely unrealistic for the predominance of the world:

"It is way better to spend 1 month working and living in Ethiopia than 1 month visiting all the famous attractions of the African continent."

It purely depends on a few suppositions automatically being "true" for everyone:

1. People have a enough capital for such ventures.

2. People have employers who will "allow" this.

3. If not via employ, then they have enough vacation per year to do ventures like that.

For expounding on point 3, take our American counterparts, whom only get something like two weeks off a year. They would have to either consume their sick leave (assuming that they even have it) to make the full month or just have the crap-shoot of the two weeks.

If that's all that you get, would you rather take a chance that you'll be miserable for two weeks or would you do what all of the other cool kids are doing and just hit the main attractions because, then, at least you're doing something and you're not sandboxing yourself into possibly being miserable for the only time that you do get off for the year?

Whilst the article seems to have the best intentions at heart, its perspective seems pretty myopic, when you take into consideration the grand stage of the world and the arresting details those other cultures might include - which is what I assume the intended audience of the blog is (e.g.: the world).

My mother has dementia and until she was put into a secure home she had a habit of wandering. On three occasions she was picked up by police after midnight crossing the road.

Your defense of laws protecting drivers is fine, but doesn't cover outliers like my mother who would have been knocked down at least, killed at worst. Is that ok for laws to protect the driver/AI driver from running over pedestrians who have lost their personal safety faculties?
It's a shame that any travel experiences you may have had have given you that impression. My (relatively limited) experience of travel is that it has genuinely opened my eyes to the fact that the vast majority of the world lives a very different life to my own, and those differences are something I have enjoyed learning about. Reading a magazine or seeing it on television doesn't give you the same impact.

Not everybody wants to learn about such things. That's fine, but don't hate on the people who do.

> status fencing by upper middle class people who can't gain status through thoughts or substantive actions

You deserve a bit of a flame for one of the most pompous and vacuous statements I've ever read on HN. What is status? What constitutes substantive? I'll bet my definitions are different to yours!
I disabled them . thanks for your feedback :)
You are correct with all your points IMO.

The most important IMHO is salary negotiation. Women are less prone to challenge what they're given. That's the reason why a razor for women that is identical but painted a different color is more expensive--women will buy it without challenging the price. Following the same pattern, women are less prone to both negotiate a better salary when hired and ask for a raise.

It's also true that women value people more than objects and work jobs where they take care of people instead of fiddling with objects, which pays less and is less scalable. Finally, less women get satisfaction from "being the best", so while there are a lot of women CEOs and in particular women politicians, most women are not attracted by the prospect of sacrificing everything to get to the top.

There are people that have been taught that there is discrimination, and will see it everywhere. With the pay gap--which would normally be explained by a variety of naturally-occurring things--they just jump to the conclusion that of course it MUST be caused by patriarchy and discrimination. Since it's a very hard thing to measure, you might even be able to find studies that "prove" this theory.

Those women lose however, because if they spent as much time working on the skills that would help them get more money (in particular negotiating skills) as much as they spend complaining about oppression or commiserating themselves, they would make the same if not more than men.

The most powerful people in Europe are women (Merkel, May, etc.). Either there is no powerful oppressive male patriarchy, or we really suck at it. Either way, women get become as successful as they are willing to work for, in western countries.

The operating principle is homogeneity.

Purity is a bit of a misnomer because a "perfectly" homogeneous species with no distinctive heterogeneous groups would have to be called pure, but that's not usually how people use the word. The implication is usually that there are several distinct, homogeneous groups within which there is homogeneity among its members.

Having homogeneity at some level, even if it ends up being in the form of several homogeneous groups, allows one to make useful scientific findings and generalizations. On the other hand, if everything was very heterogeneous, down to each individual, it would be very hard to find a general statement applicable to any appreciable number of individuals.
Ask HN: How can I market my startup to universities?
Hi,

I'm currently trying to grow my product, https://www.packagr.app, a product for Python dev teams which allows you to create your own private PyPI mirror. I have a handful of paying customers who have validated my product and also helped me to iron out the initial teething bugs.

I'm now looking to try and grow my product, and it's been suggested to me that I should be targeting university data science departments that use Python. This makes sense to me as the collaboration options that Packagr provides could be helpful in terms of allowing large teams of researchers to contribute to the same Python packages. However, I'm not really sure where to start with this - Is there anybody with experience marketing startups to universities that can offer some advice?

I am thinking about cold emailing university data science departments but not sure how effective this is likely to be?

Thanks in advance,
Chris

Most important thing to know about economics, from Mankiw & studying economics both at school and uni:
(1) Resources are limited, but our desire is unlimited. The function of the market is to find the equilibrium amount of each thing to produce, at a certain price. Also, there is always a market, even if money is totally removed. We will always have things to divide up between us.
(2) The demand/supply curve. It honestly is unbelievably important and you won’t understand the fundamentals until you understand this, imo. Marx didn’t understand the economy because he didn’t understand this, he only understood the supply part of the equation (a friend who took the history of economic thought & passed his notes onto me taught me this). Practice using this to understand a government policy that impacts the market, think through what it does to prices, volumes, and the curves themselves.

Basic accounting concepts and terminology is also quite useful, as another commenter said.
Then the function of the central banks, why they do what they do, and how.

I do recommend, to understand the GFC, Reading “Financial Accounting Theory”, by William R. Scott, pages 9-15 (section 1.3). If you want to understand dodgy accounting, this is also a good book.
Aside from Mankiw’s principles of Microeconomics, Bernanke’s Principles of Macroeconomics is also good.

You are confusing 'definition' with positivism. A definition does not have to be epistemologically apodictic to be a definition. It simply requires that we can understand its ordinary uses. Do you think nominalists can't define anything, and exist in the world in a state of perpetual confusion and dissonance?

You've taken my comment about the status we give to travelling, and assumed that it's down to some personal problem with travelling.
