> As a solo founder I often felt like I had no idea if I was working on the right thing because there are so many things that need to be done.

As a solo founder myself. Here's how to solve that problem. If you pre-launch speak to potential customers. If you are post-launch, speak to your customers.

Those who are in the weeds and touch your application/competitors application on a daily basis are the ones who will give the best and most important feedback and from there you will know what to work on.
>and a recent examination by University of Glasgow senior lecturer Debra Higgs Strickland reveals examples of anti-Semitism – which is rather unsurprising, considering the map was created around the era when Jews were expelled from England by King Edward in 1290

Using "anti-Semitism" in this context is meaningless and completely anachronistic. They had nothing against Semitic people, but were strongly opposed to how usury was practiced by the Jewish merchant class that lead to a stranglehold on the rural population.
Has anyone tried a 3rd party k8s vendor? What was your experience and outcomes?

I use GKE and will be looking at IBM's offering, but would like to know of something like this is worth it. Would be aiming for consistency across clouds and on-prem.
I guess the credit is due to

1) fighting against forces of much larger scale,

2) inflicting much more damage to the opposing force than getting, and

3) still keeping independence (when compared to, for example, baltic states).

Fair enough?
is it democratic for most elected governments to keep pushing for legislature again and again, waiting a bit between attempts? Repeat it ad nauseam um 'till people get bored of protesting.

Just a reminder that quite a lot of people are against second brexit referendum because repeating it would be undemocratic.

Remember ACTA? how many times it was tried again and again under different name?

The only ones who wanted those articles to pass were media organizations akin to RIAA - which frankly speaking are a parasite of the industry, which have tons of money to burn on legal lobbying.

And nowadays - where artists can directly sell their works to customers - they are absolutely unneeded.

Plus the whole idea of upload filter is absolutely idiotic. It will either do nothing, but give excuse to further escalate the law(especially if it goes towards centralized content filter - which could be easily used for censorship).
Or it will be implemented in similar vein to youtube copyright system - no way to decently appeal, automated process that tags more content than it should, taking the least amount of effort.

Link tax on the other hand was already tried in few countries - Germany and Spain or Portugal(forgot which one it was) - in former case most media outlets signed a contract with search engine and social media corporations that they can list their content for free.. in other case such contracts were forbidden and media outlets reported a loss of profit - because way less people were visiting their sites - they disappeared from indexing services, and social media platforms - which serve as a form of advertising.

Also - didn't EU post a study that piracy actually boosted sales and profits of movies and music? Because it works as free advertising, and most(but not all) of pirates wouldn't buy the product anyways. (https://juliareda.eu/2017/09/secret-copyright-infringement-s...)

On a side note you should never ever accept a law just because you trust a current government to not abuse it. You cannot 100% prove that in future there won't be a government that will abuse it.
However, psilocybin (the active component of magic mushrooms) is also a strong neurogenic compound, although not as effective as ECT. 25i-nbome is much stronger than ECT, even in tiny doses which are far below the threshold for any noticeable changes to perception.
There's no reason I wouldn't want this.

In fact I think it should be standard procedure for every poll. Making MEPs publicly state the reason for their vote makes them more accountable and this at least makes them think (hopefully).
I had a similar situation where I contacted google and asked permission about having a certain app made. Got the green light from several google teams. Pushed and marketed the app and app brought in 7+ figures of revenue throughout the years. Got shut down after about 2 years randomly with no feedback etc. Even my personal consultants from google that they assign to you had no clue and I was left to fend for myself and just eat the lost/work I put into the app.
It's a poor plan b but possibly the best one.

> You CAN sue them, but for what is unclear. "Wielding too much power" isn't a crime.

Criminal statutes don't apply to an individual's remedy here. You can sue for damages, but, yes, "wielding power" is not evidence of damages.

However, the power being wielded could be evidence in an anti-trust suit brought by the government.

The Play Store does lots of interesting and innovative stuff in the space of automated tests to detect malware. But clearly there's a lot of room for improvement.
I think GP was making a joke based on the ambiguous wording of the headline. ;)

FWIW though, we have a hive in our back garden and the bees don't bother us or the neighbours at all.

I'm not sure I follow. From my minimal understanding NVC is about expressing how things make one feel rather than telling someone else the direction in which their life will go. kodz4's comment didn't mention the word "I" and was all about "you". Thus I don't see what it has to do with NVC at all. Can you explain?
I seriously doubt Google would licence it to potential competitors either.

Firefox makes a desktop browser, though. Why should they provide a Chrome extension?
Yes. There is a doctor at the University of South Florida that was investigating it, and many LSD "micro-dosers" switched to using 25i-nbome even though it is very much a research chemical with no long-term safety profile.
What is a good way to go about working with a new JS library? I only have used Python, Java, and C#. All the tutorials I find on tone.js just include the js code but not information on how to link the library.

I have a feeling people will read this blog post and implement it by stating some of those observations are going to come across really passive aggressive.
Is it opt-in?
Constantly relying on "observations" is incredibly patronizing and I've gotten away from it outside of very formal reporting / performance improvement plans / firing someone.

In my current line of work (and previous one, finance), if you cite observations as the main way of communicating, the other person is just going to cut you off and tell you to hurry the fuck up and tell them what they did wrong.
What can the average founder, employee, and person do in the face of this news?

I understand that it’s scary, but what can we do to turn that fear into an actionable checklist?
Its absolutely the sane result you get with an unregulated monopoly.
Does it matter when the average person has little to no recourse in the matter? Does it matter when e.g. YT will _punish_ you if you decide to contest it and lose per their arbitrary process?
Russia seems generally content to invade its neighbors with the rationale "the border is too close to Russia."
I _always_ wear headphones and I don't recall anyone actually tapping me on the shoulder to get my attention, which is good, because that kind of thing can startle the crap out of me. Usually they have to resort to waving their hand in my field of view, but that works fine.

Although I do wear headphones pretty much constantly, I have always made a point to be responsive to people and not ignore them. If someone needs my attention, they will get it, and I made a point of doing everything I can to help people. Yes, I'd rather not be disturbed, but if they really need my help, then I will gladly stop and help. This is no different than if I were in a cubicle or my own office. I have no problems with that kind of distraction. It's the unintentional distractions that we need to eliminate.
This sounds like a good story line for an episode of BlackMirror.

Sprint Removing Cell Tower on Campus After Claims It Caused Cancer in 4 Students
Sounds like you're describing current year social media.
In marketplace e-commerce (I'm thinking Etsy or Amazon), gross revenue might include dollars received for goods sold which is passed on to the actual seller since the platform is a market place i.e. teddy bear is sold for $15 of which $14 goes to the seller so net revenue is $1. So if your costs/COGS were $0.50 your gross profit margin on the net revenue was 50% (much higher than the 3% on total revenue).

Other companies do this when they pass through costs such as in outsourced manufacturing.

Those seem like pretty easy hurdles to get across if you've never created or been on a team that creates large-scale production applications. Why is the distinction so prevalent on job postings?
I don’t think your definition of passive aggressive matches with mine. None of those engagements read as even slightly passive aggressive to me.

Passive aggression is about saying one thing, but doing something that doesn’t match your words. All of these examples are about stating what you perceive as facts, then stating what you’d like to go differently.

I think many people use “passive aggressive” to mean “you said something in a way/tone/phrasing that irritated me”, and by that definition, I can imagine anyone getting annoyed by any of these: the recipient is being put in an uncomfortable position.

But being put in an uncomfortable position is the whole point, here; the situation demands it.

I’m very receptive to the idea that NVC has an emotional tone that frustrates people, but I think it’s very inaccurate to call it passive aggressive.
Simple explanation of what this means. Here are current yields on Treasury Bonds (expressed as an annualized rate)[0]:

1 Mo - 2.47

2 Mo - 2.47

3 Mo - 2.46

6 Mo - 2.49

1 Yr - 2.41

2 Yr - 2.26

3 Yr - 2.19

5 Yr - 2.21

7 Yr - 2.32

10 Yr - 2.43

20 Yr - 2.68

30 Yr - 2.87

In normal times, rates are higher for longer terms. This makes sense: the longer I tie up my money, the higher interest rate I'm going to want. However, right now, the rates are mostly inverted. For example, I'd get a higher rate on a bond with a lockup period of 6 months than I would on a bond with a lockup period of 10 years.

Typically, this sort of thing precedes a recession. Bond market investors think that a recession is coming, so they are willing to pay for longer term bonds on the assumption that rates on these will go down in the future when the federal reserve lowers rates (to stimulate the economy) and when people flee the stock market generally in order to avoid risk.

> BMG-EMI-XYZ Music Corp does not own this work.

Hasn't stopped big companies from making false claims before. After all they are the ones responding (and likely rejecting) the appeal of the uploader. See: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2018/09/sorry-sony-music...

> And we know that detecting that certain recording via music matching does not work, only checking the strong hash of it would work. Which would be trivial to circumvent by a single bit-flip.

So you're saying that even Google hasn't made upload filters work reliably? Who can if not the company behind Youtube?
There's also the angle that, in the same way that the text doesn't statistically resemble real languages, it also doesn't seem to be a great match for known examples of asemic text (e.g., Codex Seraphinianus), either.
Great tip! This would be good for companies of any size.
They make a mobile browser too so why make this app?
I have a hard time understanding whether this is a parody site or not.

I'm sure the automated filters will do a better job than me to make the distinction between parody or original.

Maybe we should let such a filter run on that website, so we know it's a parody or not.
Why do so many of these articles on the Winter War just narrowly focus that particular conflict, instead of covering the Continuation War as well?

Was it a fundamentally different sort of conflict after what amounted to a brief ceasefire, or is it just politically expedient to ignore that the Finns continued fighting the Soviets shortly after the Winter War as allies of the Nazi regime?
>The way the parliament is elected is quite fair - it gives a little more power to people in smaller countries, but that's not unusual (UK westminster constituencies vary from 22k to 120k. U.S. congress areas are more even, ranging from 500k to 1 million). There's an argument that it should be more even than the current 11:1 ratio, but we call the U.S. senate democratic and that's a 69:1 ratio.

At least call out the House of Representatives, that's what supposed to truly represent individuals. The senate is supposed to be at a state level by design (originally of course it was supposed to be a check on the general public, but it doesn't work that way anymore).
Exercise should only be for cardiovascular health. If you have an unfavorable energy imbalance, i.e. you're gaining weight, then you need to eat less by extending your time between meals. It's as 'simple' as that. Not easy, but simple. The 'easiest' solution is to go through periods of intermittent fasting. Either skip breakfast+lunch most days, or take a few days off eating entirely. People need to stop dieting, and they need to start 'not eating'. Our society consumes too much food.
From that page: "the assertions that Stalin planned to attack Nazi Germany in the summer of 1941, and that Operation Barbarossa was a preemptive strike by Hitler, are generally discounted."
The real challenge there would be interfacing - some jackass didn't include any neural documentation. Although it would set off a whole wave of griping among older generations about how back in the day they didn't have wetware digital memory.
Which "we" are you speaking for here? I live and work in Manhattan and I definitely am negatively affected by all the vehicle congestion, along with everyone I know. The vast majority of us here don't own or drive cars, and having fewer of them around will be much better for walking, biking, and taking the bus.

You can't possibly deny that the intent of congestion charges is to reduce congestion. That's been the intent (and effect) in every other major city it's been implemented in across the world. The simple fact of the matter is that single occupancy vehicles can't possibly scale to meet all the transit demands of an urban area as dense as Manhattan, so they need to be deprioritized in favor of more scalable modes of transport. Reclaiming car lanes for dedicated bus lanes and cycle lanes would be a great first start.

Frankly, this doesn't go nearly far enough. All of the free on-street parking in this zone needs to be removed as well, with people paying the true cost of storing a vehicle on the most valuable property in the US. That'll get rid of a lot of the vehicles on the streets and we can reclaim that space for much more productive uses. Many of these vehicles only move on alternate side parking days anyway, so there's really no reason they should be here at all. Charge the $500+/month that space is actually worth and they'll be gone.
I don’t think YouTube is against this law either. It limits their competition by raising the barrier of entry for the next YouTube. The main problem with this type of legislation is they hurt competition because only the large, established corporations can afford the legal and technical investments required for compliance. YouTube isn’t phased by this, they’ll barely notice but they’re happy knowing a tiny startup from a garage won’t be able to compete.
Thorough study of many fields is going to involve contact with uncomfortable material. Without that contact and exposure it's impossible to fully become immersed and study in depth. That is to say if you have PTSD and you study humanities you must go in to that program knowing you will be exposed to material that makes you uncomfortable. Individual content need not be labeled as potentially triggering.

I'll also add that people can get PTSD from any bad experience. It's pointless to add trigger warnings because you'd have to add them to everything. Hit by a car? Now you need trigger warnings on anything about car accidents. Parent died from diabetes? Willy Wonka now needs a trigger warning. Victim of a robbery...
> I'm hardly dismissing NVC as a tactic,

But...you should be. The entire problem you relate is about NVC as an insincere, indirect tactic (most likely, to avoid an ultimatum in a situation where the speaker isn't seeking mutual understanding and accommodation but submissive compliance.) NVC as a tactic relied on an implicit lie about the relationship which forms the context of the communication.

As a honest tool in a relationship where the parties actually care about each others feeling, NVC is a useful communication tool for addressing that mutual concern. As a tactic in relationships where that isn't a mutual concern, and especially as a top-down tactic in a relationship where the speaker would not have the concern that is being called for in the listener, where it is a passive-aggressive way of framing commands, it's obviously toxic and manipulative.
> Drivers written for Vista didn't necessarily work on Windows 7

This is patently, provably FALSE[1]

MS goes out of their way to NOT to break APIs. My ancient ATI netbook can run Windows Vista graphics drivers on Win 10. MS only breaks driver API when massive kernel/underlying APIs demand it. ex. 98->NT, XP->Visa.

Now contrast that with Linux. Linux kernel devs are openly hostile to binary blob drivers so they make no attempt to preserve ABI stability. I've see this happen multiple times with ATI binary drivers in GNU/Linux and when I was running cyanogenmod on my phone.

That’s really beyond my linguistic knowledge to comment on.

All I’m saying is that a bored noble would have the time and resources to create an expensive work purely for their own entertainment. Humans have done far weirder things over the centuries than that.
Reduce your burn rate (you should have no debt except a mortgage or a lease obligation). Have at least 6-12 months of emergency fund in an FDIC insured account. Network to be prepared to find a new gig fast if yours evaporates. Be prepared for credit card and home equity credit lines recinded with no notice.

I did not do these things prior to the 2008 global financial crisis, and it was unpleasant.
For example, paying down debt would be a good idea. [sound of numerous economists jumping up and down saying this would turn prediction of recession into self-fulfilling prophecy] Also, holding off on any major new purchases like houses or new cars.

Show HN: Our weekly space industry newsletter is out of beta
Hello HN!

My partner and I just published issue #5 of The Orbital Index, our brief & technical weekly newsletter about space science and the space industry, and so we've taken the project out of beta.

The process of finding a voice and fine tuning the level of technical detail is ongoing, but we feel like we've arrived at something succinct, interesting, and technical, in a large part because of the great feedback that we have received from HN subscribers from our last Show HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19227434) a month ago.

Here's our website, where you can signup for free: https://orbitalindex.com

And here is our latest issue, fresh off the presses a few minutes ago: https://orbitalindex.com/archive/2019-03-26-archive-Issue-5/

If you like what we're doing, please tell us! And if you have suggestions for how any part of The Orbital Index could be better, we'd love to hear them too.
>Sorry, but the Brexit referendum is the perfect example of choices that should not be made directly by the population, because it lacks the competence to foresee the effects or even to distinguish fact from fiction.

I still find it hard to not value your own autonomy. For thousands of years, wars of independence were fought for this exact purpose. You might not value it, but I don't think you can attack others for placing value on it.

The law will have a very negative impact on the society and it's very unfortunate that it passed. I was really hoping to the last second, that it will not.

As much as I can't do anything about the law itself, I can make sure that it will not wipe out startups and small companies that are trying to compete with the internet behemoths. We at Pex are making our Attribution Engine free of charge to all content creators, rights holders and platforms [0]. We will publicly announce it within next couple of days. I know it's far cry from the law not being enacted at all, but we hope it's something.

I know nothing about anime, but this site doesn't seem to cover individual episodes, which seems like it'd be important if you're doing internet anime series db thing. Of course the low-key shill method would be to find threads that mention whatever is on your site, and then link your site. 'What other shows has X directed? Here's a list https://toshokan.moe/person/ykbx/animeography' That way it's not blatant advertising and pretty much what happens with imdb every single day.

Another option is get a booth at an anime con, if it's not thousands of dollars. Or buy advertising on 2channel, hang out in large anime specific discord chat servers and create a bot people can query for animeography.

Generative music comes full circle. This side of Aphex Twin is more or less directly inspired by Brian Eno's Music for Aiports. Which itself comes out of Eno's generative music experiments.
> To put it another way, think of "things that would distract someone from the main message" as "bugs" in your code.

This is the PR/communications industry. Once I understood this, and that a main message is one sentence at most -- a short phrase is even better -- interviews of people in politics made a lot more sense!
