The whole "who is winning the X race?" meme where X is typically "5G" or "AI" is tiresome. Nobody can say that 5G or AI is going to create any value, but they can say that A is greater than B.
That's really cool. OTOH, how did this not get noticed before now? The letters are literally right next to each other in the alphabet.
Show HN: Devvvs.com – Custom Web Apps
tl;dr I created devvvs.com (https://devvvs.com) to streamline the process of making nice, inexpensive web apps for people by focusing on the connection between the developer and consumer.

Hi! My name is Aleksai Losey and I am a first year at university. Summer break will be here in a few weeks and I hope to spend my time mostly creating websites and web applications. I sincerely enjoy doing this. I noticed that most custom website agencies make it difficult to talk to a developer, and their expensive pricing is a needless barrier. So, if you or anyone you know needs a website, let them know about devvvs.com! You can upload sketches of your website and chat directly with a developer. We’ll charge monthly with no large, upfront costs.

I just launched this as a side project. I warmly welcome any criticism or advice! You can directly email me at aleksailosey@gmail.com with either of these. The project is in its very early stages and I hope to improve it immensely. Thanks for your time!!!
I'd like to add...no one (read: users / consumers) care. It could be Martian source and as long as it worked 99.9% of people would be fine with it.

The problem is, OSS has changed the biz model for software development, but we're still stuck with bugs, poor design, shite UX, frustrations, etc.

Yes, OSS solved a problem. But it wasn't The Problem. So now what?

And while I do embrace the OSS ideal, I wish I could total up the hours lost to vague documentation, delays in support (if support even exists), etc. For example, you can probably build a damn good modern CMS with all the time lost to the WordPress codex.
I once considered relocating with the same company to a similar role in London. The base pay in London is lower, and the marginal tax rates are high, but overall cost of living isn't too terribly far off (compared to the SF Bay Area), and doing calculations like these it seemed that while it would be something of a step down total compensation-wise, it wasn't nearly as large of one as it at first seemed. I didn't make the jump, but actually doing the math made it seem a lot more reasonable than it did at the outset.

In addition to the educational and satisfaction benefits (which I also agree with), I look at it this way: my standard of living is better because I do everything myself. What others spend on hiring painters, movers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, auto mechanics, I save, and it allows me to live like someone who makes quite a bit more than I do. I’ve got a modest tech salary, and wouldn’t call myself desperate or cash strapped—just frugal and keen to optimize every penny.
Compared to the D&D scare, this is less of a moral panic of fear of the unknown and more of a panic of lost productivity. D&D's panic, or at least how I understand it, was more like the panic around Harry Potter. Fortnite is more similar to getting mad at your kids for watching too much television or WoW.
Most of the time the failure mode is excessive leakage. Which often doesn't cause problems. And ceramic and tantalum capacitors tend to heal if running at more than a few volts. I found a cap on battery backed up memory array that was sucking about 50uA. Putting 5V across it 'fixed it'

Would you severely limit the time? If you don't, and you don't charge a fee, then the costs become insane.

You see, this isn't just a data connection. Somebody must be paid to observe the video, making sure that it isn't being used for crime. That person must understand the accent, slang, codewords, and everything else. That person must be trustworthy. That person won't be cheap.

Without an observer, prisoners will get up to all sorts of mischief. They will order witnesses and judges killed. They will continue to operate organized crime. They will pass along threats.
Eating out 5 times a month is a luxury though. Buying coffee out *every day" is also a luxury lifestyle choice. It seems pretty callous to describe that as living paycheck to paycheck; especially given the kind of budgeting some people do.

It's almost as if good use of time is subjective. I'm sure he enjoyed his time at the club, just because you've never been in one doesn't mean it's a waste of time.

Sorry, I did mean horizontal.

At three foot, you have a circumference of 18foot. The idea of almost 180° of monitors still unsettles me. That's beyond neck work, that's practically into separate workspaces. If you're looking at the left side of Monitor 1, Monitor 3 is physically out of —even peripheral— eyeline.

I don't know why I'm flapping on about it. If it works for you, that's great.

I never understood why people are against some form of universal healthcare. The idea of "socialism" or "communism" scare many conservatives, but it just doesn't make sense here.

How universal healthcare sorta works - we all put money in a pot, and use it to pay for healthcare.

How health insurance works - we put money into a company, who uses it to pay for healthcare, while taking a significant cut as it's a private entity.

With the correct organization (which the government is notoriously terrible at) it would seem to me that it could only be cheaper to have taxpaid healthcare?

That budget seems to be always nonnegotiable, despite the occasional media outrage. Realistically, how can US voters change this?

As an aside, the US is the only country I've seen give military personnel priority boarding for civilian flights. With all due respect to veterans, it seems so strange to do this sort of worshiping in what is effectively peacetime.
Unfortunately all that waste creates millions of jobs. If military and healthcare costs were brought under control too quickly, it would literally destroy the economy.

It’s worse if you include 401k payments to offset a more generous public pension.
I don't know, building system that handles all complex cases and can respond intelligently to any 16 year old is hard. Having a human in the loop that calls you up and says, "Remember you have to plug the device in." is going to be a lot more effective than a blinking red light or an auditory beep when the batteries are low, (after all the user might be asleep when that happens), a human would be able to remind the user before the battery is low or even escalate to another human for example calling a parent to remind the child in person.

It is fair to question if this extra flexibility is worth the cost in privacy. Though personally I think the GPS monitor is a much bigger incursion on privacy, but I think we generally accept that the benefits outweigh the costs in this situation.f

If you don't think this for communication as described what do you think it is for?

I don't think covert surveillance makes sense because the wearer is already going feel surveilled (that is kinda the literal point of the device). Sarah Staudt, Chicago Appleseed Fund for Justice, obtusely suggests the device is for sexual deviants.

> The idea that an adult can turn on a listening device while a child is, say, in the bathroom or in their bedroom is not good.

I presume she is referring to the fact this is where children masterbate/have sex, as otherwise listening to a person sleep or use the bathroom really is not interesting or particularly hard to do (though if you do that is kinda creepy).

Anyways, this feels like way too much work if you just want to listen to 16 year old sexy-time, and the decision makers (like the mayor or chief prosecutor) isn't even going be in a position where they get to abuse the system to do that.

Perhaps this is a form of public corruption? Build an unneeded system in exchange for kickbacks this feels the most plausible but I don't see anything here that would make this more likely the case for the system mentioned in the article over any random public contract.
Do you have a source to support that claim?
Misappropriation of funds due to lobbying and regulatory capture.

The film 'Vice' on Dick Cheney outlines just how permeable American government is to such non-public interests.

It's no wonder tax avoidance is such an interesting topic for those who stand to pay the most if they do nothing.

The Mozilla person involved in that discussion is the editor of the relevant spec, and is only involved in terms of making sure the changes are correctly indicated in the spec. I don't believe he has expressed any opinion on the changes themselves.

This only slows down the transfer of heat, both in and out. I'd be surprised if anything useful would come of this as eventually the cap is going to achieve equilibrium with the environment, or if you wrap it up in a small coat, it will take longer to transfer heat out of the cap than normal and run hot.

Would love to see a breakdown of real estate and admin costs for private insurance systems throughout the States to understand how much could be saved by eliminating redundancy.

About 12-13%, according to this: https://www.eia.gov/energyexplained/index.php?page=oil_home

And most of that is lubricants and plastics. I think we can all agree that reducing our use of plastics is generally a good thing overall - we might make the switch back to more easily recyclable materials, e.g. aluminum and glass, which, although energy intensive to recycle, are almost endlessly renewable.

Not sure what good substitutes for oil based lubricants would be.
From a technical perspective it makes zero sence to go with Gecko, given that it's 1. much harder to embed (there's a reason everyone's going with webkit/blink) and 2. with servo around the corner, a gecko EOL is expected at some point.

It's not every 20 years, it's pretty much a constant. Some games or trends just happen to get more mainstream attention than others.

I don't think we're ever going to truly get rid of this sense of "this thing is bad for my kid, we need to get rid of it!" Since ultimately some bad thing happens to a kid/parent and they feel more validated amongst others who feel the same way about that thing. That's an incredibly powerful emotion.

We probably just need to be better at getting people to be generally more open minded and to see the world in less black and white terms.
In my experience, Google works better if you ask it questions like that. Not good enough, especially if you're looking for something specific and technical, but better.
I averaged probably 3 hours a day.
You could ask straight out, "Does Google do X?"

The other problem is that there is are only two choices. They left out "I don't know". This means people who don't know probably picked more or less at random.
That's more a matter, then, of adjusting the algorithm such that you recognize there will always be some recidivism, and you tier your goals, such that current status is "barely profitable", costs covered, etc., and that each leap to a new tier is more and more profitable.

That’s like saying let’s not put out the wildfire, the firemen need a job.
It seems to say that, but i did not say that.

Each invention or each venture needs resources. Where do you get those from? One can say, people give something and out of this pot you support something bigger (taxes? charity? venture capital?) , and those who have the idea, the skill, the howto, they go for them. And everyone of them has to support their own families too. So all in all, society gets a profit by having people creating treatment, workers get their profit (time+skill for money), investors get a profit and owners maybe get an overproportial share of, what is being paid for it.

I do not understand how this is a pessmistic view. I just see a lot of people being productive?

But i admit, it is an ideal. In generally i also only hear all the bad stories.

I think it’s highly likely Monzo will be one of the winners. The leadership is strong, and customers absolutely love their product, as quantitatively measurable by their crowdfunding.

Great investment for YC, who also take credit for shaping the way Monzo has been led.

My only annoyance about Monzo is that I’ve been unable to invest so far. The only company that can stop Monzo now is Monzo.
Talk to TinySeed. Might be a good fit.
The D&D scare seems to at least have benefited from a lot of common misunderstandings and that most people were unwilling to give it a shot. Harry Potter exploded in popularity for the blowback to ever be taken too seriously. Its pretty easy to open up a book and read it vs gathering some people together to try out a somewhat complex and open-ended game.

So many folks tearing this article apart. I think the point here is that $300k, which the vast majority of income earners will never achieve and whom many in the middle class would consider “rich”, is not actually true wealth.

If anything this article points out the true problem with society - the vast and growing income disparity between the “rich” and the truly rich. There are plenty of folks who can eat every meal out, buy Ferrari’s and shop at Gucci without batting an eye, and despite outrageous expenses grow their savings tremendously per year.

You are 100% right in that it is the social aspects of games is where people spend most of their time. When I decided to slow down the amount of time playing games, by restricting myself to either single player games (that once you are finished you are done with it) or multiplayer games where I wouldn't communicate with other people, I just don't have as much of an urge to play as I used to.

Even people that devote incredible amount of times to single player games, for instance, speed runners, the fact is that there is a community around doing that. Without that community, there would be way less people speedrunning.
> this sort of worshiping in what is effectively peacetime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_wars_involving_the_Uni...

The US has been 'at war' with something continuously. There is no or never was peacetime.
You know that something that says it's neutral is always anything but.

Very readable, and it screams "America" which makes sense given who made it.
This alarmist headline misleadingly implies _all_ US troops are being poisoned whereas in fact the article title was

"These US Troops Are Slowly Being Poisoned by Lead in Their Bones".

Furthermore, from the original article at

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/04/03/magazine/lead-poisoning-m...

"38 service members from 2012 to today [were] tested at Mount Sinai for chronic lead poisoning. Of those, a dozen have measured bone lead levels higher than what is considered normal, including four with almost twice the expected amount."

So 12 soldiers, hardly an epidemic. And who knows the cause. Perhaps most of the soldiers are reloaders who have cast their own bullets at home for years. Maybe they mold fishing weights or make lead toy soldiers. IOW this is something small, although important to those affected, which merits two investigations:

- one of their backgrounds and sources of exposure and

- perhaps a random sample test of the infantry population.
The definition you're using has heavy suburban connotations though, and ignoring location doesn't make any sense when talking about real estate. Living in the urban core has never been a marker of the middle-class, and the fact that the political entity of the City of San Francisco happens to be mostly urban core doesn't change that at all. These people could easily have dramatically reduced housing costs if they weren't making the consumption decision to live in the suburbs of said urban core.
Or you could socialize the costs, cut out the massive waste involved by the private system and realize a healthcare cost that nears that paid by similar first world countries.

Plus I think(/hope) that people in the US have fully embraced their hatred of pre-existing condition exclusion in health care that came through with the ACA. The GOP keeps saying they'll drop it and they keep shying away due to the popularity.
I wouldn't call it a right, but as others have pointed out, it's an issue that might bring heavy consequences in the future, so maybe let's do something about it, or maybe we can't do anything about it and let's just hope for the best.
Programmers need it the least. They are paid the highest and have the best alternatives employment options. I think we should be talking about the production artist and testers in a completely separate breath from the programmers. In fact, this could explain why people are arguing in circles here, they could be talking about separate groups in completely different situations as far as compensation & leverage goes!
