Interesting device! I found that the hole punch metal filter didn't give me the same great taste that a mesh did. Obviously, very personal preference though. Maybe it works better with a Prismo.
I didn’t make that claim. Obviously there’s a small trade off that is practically irrelevant, you can optimize so that the trade off doesn’t make it practically much less secure, make up for it elsewhere
Then I am not sure what did prevent publishing, but it was not published.
Their quality has always been above budget level. In France, the quality was actually much better than the store-brand of other grocers.

Supermarkets use different brand categories to price differentiate, while quality is not always changing quite as much. Furthermore, Aldi's low cost logistics allows them to be more efficient.

So at a time, the average quality at Aldi was pretty much the same as Carrefour or Franprix in France, just less variance.

And then there's always some items where Aldi's quality is simply better, even better than the quality brand.

I distinctly remember that you could not buy decent cured salmon, even for like 6-7€ anywhere except Aldi, which had perfectly good cured salmon in two or three varieties for around 3€

1. Why do you folks keep moving the goalposts? You're the second person that replies to me almost the same way, primarily not reading my comments. I didn't say the New World vs Europe, I said the New World vs the Old World.

There were Asian cities of 1 million people at the time, there's plenty of Asian civilizations where people bathed, etc.

Plus saying that the Spaniards hadn't seen such a thing is not saying that much in a time where the average person would travel, on average, at most 20km from their hometown, throughout their entire lives. Even for the average conquistador, this was the trip of their lives. They'd better be impressed by what they see, now that they get to see thing thousands of km away from their home village! :)

I'm generally pretty happy with the weekly buys, to be honest. I have not found them to be inferior to the garbage on Amazon's front page. They also haven't rolled out self check out (at least near me) the way their godforsaken hellhole competitors (Tesco, etc.) have. I hope I never hear "Unexpected item in bagging area" again.

Not to mention that Tesco, Dunnes (I live in Ireland) etc. are generally horrifically bad. Every time I get tesco delivered I regret it. I specifically say "NO SUBSTITUTIONS WHATSOEVER" and they literally sent me sandwich meat when I asked for plain frozen chicken breasts.

Also, as noted in the article, Aldi entered the UK when it had some of the highest margins on groceries in the world, suggesting that at least some of what you were spending was going towards Tesco's profit margins, rather than quality.

I still shop at nicer markets. Marks and Spencer, Fallon and Byrne (if in Dublin), etc. But when I just want to buy potatoes, some OK-ish red wine for not too much money (Animus, from Portugal, is more drinkable than anything from the major retailers under 10 euro a bottle) and maybe some cheap shelving for the shed (if that's what they have that week), Aldi delivers where the big grocery stores fall flat on their face.

I daresay the pressure within the industry (plus fear of PR and legal repercussions down the track) may be playing a big part in some airlines and governments calling for the grounding. No one wants to be the guy to say "Oops" if the investigation shows up a critical issue with the plane (or worse, if another 737 MAX goes down the same way soon). As much as it will be a hit in profits to call a grounding, the alternative would be way worse.

(I am thinking too that if the investigators DID find a flaw in the aircraft type, the operators may have an avenue to claim compensation from Boeing for lost revenue and profits).

Personally, if I had to get on a flight tomorrow, and I saw it was a 737 MAX, I would be asking for my baggage to be unloaded and I would wait for another flight on a 737 classic, Airbus etc. And this is not just brand snootiness either - If new Airbus models had 2 crashes in a short space of time under similar circumstances, then I would boycott those until the officials have eliminated a flaw in the system as the root cause.

UPDATE: Just heard that our local aviation authority (Australia) has banned the MAX from entering or leaving the country. There are a few stuck in Sydney (Fiji Air and Silk Air I believe) that will have to stay on the ground until further notice.
So I'm getting downvoted for proposing a hypothesis? Not that I really care but come on, at least discuss it ;)
On the subject of why Boeing didn't think to tell pilots about the MCAS:

> "Since it operates in situations where the aircraft is under relatively high g load and near stall, a pilot should never see the operation of MCAS"

This seems to me to indicate a much deeper issue with the aviation industry than the 737 MAX issue. Aren't pilots as part of their simulation time testing the limits of the flight envelope of the aircraft they're flying? If so surely they'd be expected to encounter the MCAS system.
I'm EU based, but there are some US states also have lower or no state taxes. A lower salary might still mean you end up making more money.

Another advantage: Technical writers write from the perspective of users. Devs are sometimes too close to the code (too much scaffolding and presumptions) to understand what the user’s experience and thought processes are like.

Technical writers can bridge that.

Writing as a process also helps expose gaps in thinking — in this case, in the user facing implementation. This feedback can in turn be useful for devs.

One example of where technical writing can help is PySpark. Because Spark is JVM centric, it can be relatively difficult for Pythonistas to get started with unless one already knew how things were laid out. I had to read multiple tutorials to set things up the right way before “import pyspark” would even work. Not to diminish the tremendous amount of efffort that has gone in the Spark docs, but that is one area where a good technical writer could add a lot of value.

Side note: “findspark”, for the trivially simple package that it is, simplified getting up and running with PySpark. But I had to find out about it through a random tutorial.

I think Boeing claimed that no retraining of existing 737 pilots was necessary for the new model.

This attitude has led to crashes in the past as well.
I would say this is ordinary politics, an obvious calculated provocation we see every day.

What is surprising is a such dump FB reaction. Why such inteligent people make such dump moves? Are they really that arogant? Maybe that arrogance is caused by revenue increases after all these scandals. Maybe they treated politicians in the same way for many times, but in other countries.

Show HN: Growth Hacking Plugins and First Birthday
URL: [Notifia.io](http://notifia.io)

Short Summary: Website Plugins that help you generate more leads, acquire new customers, optimize user onboarding experience, boost customer retention, increase revenue per customer, and earn referrals.

Full Story
Hi guys, I've had my head down for the past 12 months working on building an AIO website plugin. We just passed our 1st Birthday yesterday, we're a profitable business with 2 full-time engineers and growing.

So my name's Nathan, I'm 23 years old and grew up in London. After a legal dispute that brought my previous startup to an end, I noticed that when I was shutting down the site that I had 8 marketing plugins, which seemed pretty excessive. I also was spending about $2k/month on widgets (Intercom, UseProof, OptKit, AutopilotHQ, Reviews.io, LessChurn, ViralLoops and HelloBar)

That's when I had my lightbulb moment; who really wants to learn to use 8 different plugins? pay for 8 subscriptions? manage each account? install 8 scripts?

On top of that, I'm an ex-employee of Hotjar, and I'd heard David (co-founder) mention how he came up with the idea, Hotjar was essentially 6-tools he had been using that he brought into one platform and offered to users at a fraction of the cost. He was now the proud founder of a SaaS turning over $10m in ARR.

So following this approach, Notifia was born. A collection of the most effective marketing widgets and plugins I had come across.

I'm also a fan of AARRR Framework followed by many Growth Hackers; where as a traditional marketer is just focusing on acquisition. A Growth Hacker builds out strategies and optimisations to boost Acquisition, Activation, Revenue, Retention and Referrals which in turn leads to Growth.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts, feedback and suggestions. We're offering a 1 year Birthday Promotion giving 6 months of Notifia for $1, the discount code is: HAPPYFIRSTBIRTHDAY

Ask HN: How to decide on price for first freelance project?
I have recently gotten involved with a project with a trader who wants to build an algo trading platform to perform his strategies a bit less manually. It sounds like the scope is quite big and it will obviously have a front end and back end.

We're deciding on price right now and I'm really struggling as I haven't done any freelance projects before (only personal). We have agreed on about 15 hours a week and I'm based in London. The only thing that gives me some indication is that I tutor quite regularly and charge £60/hour. I have more than enough students and I'm sure if I tried I could get the same 15 hours a week. I have almost 3 years professional experience in finance companies.

Would I be charging too much or too little? If so, what would be a better way to find my price?

Yes hurrah for the internet! And I can’t wait until the next 30 years when we get to witness the birth of even more tedious crypto currencies with wackier names, I get to stress about my kids seeing Momo, and Facebook start tracking my bowel movements to know when I should next see a Domino’s ad.

Regarding front-end maintainability and scalability, I suggest you to use a front-end component library (e.g. Bootstrap).
You'd also have to cancel a lot of flights. Airlines don't tend to have a huge reserve of airworthy planes sitting idle as substitutes in case their regular fleet gets grounded.

"Solving this isn't going to be as simple as saying "the flight software should defer to the pilot" or vice versa."

Actually it is.

2 sensors: Defer to the pilot with alarm that sensor data is unreliable if inconsistent.

3 sensors: trust majority of signals.

But "deciding" by software for one signal when having only 2 sensors with inconsistent results is negligence.

I have worn all types of earplugs at concerts, playing music etc. and the flat attenuation 'botique' moulded ones sound so much better for any situation, it's not even close. If the concert really is loud enough that 25dB isn't enough attenuation maybe it's not worth going. If something is loud enough, no earplugs will make it safe.

The more APIs browsers have, the more expensive it is for browser vendors to implement and maintain them. Opera and Edge already gave up.

Never bought into how that saying diminishes the value of good ideas, particularly that of a unique domain-specific insight. I'm rarely excited by "the new Facebook" or "like X, but with AI", but when I hear someone say something like "an app that creates layouts for solar plants, saving energy consultants hundreds hours of work", that tickles my senses.

That's a real example from a meetup I went to the other day. Two solar engineers who were tired of drawing these solar plant plans and realized a computer would do it faster and better. They're killing it.

Many software engineers rely on domain experts to come along with good ideas to execute on. Maybe ideas matter immensely after all.

You can pry scheme from my cold dead hands. I don't mind ocaml, in fact I'd probably chose to write most kinds of software in it, but scheme is what I write to keep my soul. It is what I write to rediscover that programming is fun.

You're very lucky if that's all they did. Lawyers sometimes engage into legal pissing contests that can drag on for months on end.

Boss at my old company was hot on making people lock their machines. Used to leave notepad windows open saying "lock it" or similar, even when we had just gone to the other side of the room and could see him doing it.

The article says you can log into your ProtonMail account without a VPN. That is not an issue.

Other Russian email providers would not be able to send you messages though.
Reparse points are directory entries that are special and interpreted by the file system driver (or some other higher-level component that's not the file system itself). Directory junctions (which you mean here, I guess) are reparse points, as are symlinks and a bunch of other things.
Protonmail is one of the last sane email providers. Gmail is essentially spyware and they can block your access to your account on a whim, especially if you refuse to have a phone number connected to it (phone numbers are commonly used to link your account across many different websites, that's why many of them force users to hand over their phone numbers under the guise of "security" or "2fa").

Protonmail has its problems but I hope they get over them as a company. Personally, so far I've received nothing but great customer support from them.

What's wrong with that?

I've seen a lot of complaints about social media, mainstream web culture, "cat videos and memes," etc. The web was meant for everyone, and most people want to use it for entertainment and talking to their friends. There's nothing wrong with using the web for mundane and trivial things.

You want people to embrace an open web? Stop talking to them about freedom and censorship resistance and how the fascist capitalist overlords have turned them into sheep and make it easy for them to share their cat pictures.
I recall from a doco, she was employed as nanny to look after posh area kids. Parents of the kids were unaware she took them on long outings to the slums to take street photos.

Had she exhibited, there may have been trouble in regards to where she took those kids.

Her images are technically interesting too, and of course the nostalgia helps. But I like the gritty honesty. Not a lot of street photographers around those parts and times, so she's documenting and preserving, and is one of the gems of street photography.
