I'm not sure about Linux, but on OS X there was a fantastic utility you could use to do really advanced stuff (AppleScript / Automator integration, for two), but the really cool thing was that you could ise up to eight WiiMotes at once- the last four were the same indicators, but the lights were inverted.

Not sure if you can do it with the current set of utilities for Linux, but the WiiMotes themselves support going up to at least eight.
No, there is no law anywhere in the US prohibiting you from selling a used car in a private transaction.
Hey, taking a look at the picture on the site I saw that you only offer a format of 8.5" x 11". If you'd like to grow to Europe, other formats like A4 would be very interesting and probably needed. I'd also be happy about one in A5! :)

If this involves things like burning absurd amounts of fossil fuels and shoving new phones down our throat every year, it is absolutely our shared problem that you are bad at allocating resources.

Our daughter is enrolled in a Summit school in the Bay Area. It’s been a very positive experience and not one I’d recognize from the way it’s described in the story. Her teachers are extremely available and supportive, and there’s a lot of emphasis on group and individual projects and presentations.

But I would agree that a lot of the linked resources in the curriculum are not of very high quality. I don’t know whether better sources at the appropriate reading level aren’t available, or if they just grabbed something from the first page of Google results.

I’m wondering if some of the issues in the story have to do with the implementation of the program and not the program itself.
Absolutely they should be willing to walk away. This is why scrimping and saving until you have some form of emergency fund is so important.
You are certainly allowed to buy a car, fix it, and sell it.

This is from 2016, but you can see that even three years ago, the Guardian was already busy milking every possible story for outrage. Nothing can happen, clearly, without it being connected to something bad caused by tech.
Hey HN!

Excited to share this project I've been working on for the last few weeks with my friends. We made a video course on going through the job search as a senior engineer.

Originally this was going to be a paid course, but after much talks, we decided to give this to the community free of charge. We launched to our network about two weeks ago and already have over 500 sign-ups. Fixed a couple of bugs as well and are now ready to share with the HN community :)

We hope you or someone you know will find this useful!

Devs by and large aren't doing this stuff, it's abstracted by infrastructure teams behind application frameworks and a "Deploy" button UI.

Much of this stuff was developed by such infrastructure teams to solve their own problems; people realized they were common across the industry and started collaborating on open source. The alternative is typically half-baked, homegrown deployment automation, service discovery, etc. not a fundamentally simpler architecture.

Sure, no problem. As you can see I didn't dig deep in other instruments, though there are a lot of interesting things (selling puts for banks, corporate bonds, buying VIX), but they require due diligence as well, you just need to dig deep and read everything that you can find about them.

Also if you decide to invest into Bitcoin, the most important things are:

- Buy only what you can hold for at least 5 years (and expect the 95% downturns)

- Use a hardware wallet (I prefer https://trezor.io/ , Ledger is probably OK as well, but the source code is really ugly, and it has a trusted module that I don't trust).

- Don't buy alt coins, or if you do, make sure that you read the source code, look at the test coverage, read cryptography books to understand their cryptography, see how many bugs they have, make sure that you are really able to run a full node that synchronizes from the genesis block, if it has smart contracts, see if the smart contracts have integration tests as well, look at the energy that's securing it...there are a lot of reasons why I never ever thought of buying any alt coins.
Postbox does not have a Linux version. That kills it for me.
I’d like to believe what you are saying, but it sounds a bit like the cows have control of the farm because the farmer needs the milk. All the farmer does is pain-optimize to the cheapest possible conditions that keep cows alive and milking. Which turns out is locking them in stalls and force feeding them hormones.

People are just realizing now we’ve become the cows needed to legeitimize the capital that is milked back out of us. I agree though that UBI is just trying to juice that feedback loop in the most superficial way possible. Like cows deciding that more hay and hormones will somehow free them. (It won’t)
First, thanks for creating and sharing this. Second, I'd like to offer some thoughts related to what you said above ("some suggestions in detail are welcome"):

You describe it as:

1) An application-layer proxy

2) Which can be controlled by an API

The README and the Swagger API docs do a reasonable job of explaining #2. But it doesn't include much about #1.

First-time visitors might find it helpful if you started off by explaining the basics:

- What are some situation in which you might want to use this?

- What was your motivation for creating this? (What were you using before, and what was missing that made you want something different?)

- An example of how to set it up for a simple use case (not just how to install pichi, but how to point the other software to it (e.g. what protocol do clients use to talk to Pichi?)

For example, let's say I install Pichi, and then use the API to point it to several SS servers. What do I do next? How do connect my web browser to Pichi so that the traffic goes via those servers?
I do stand up comedy, get a couple gigs per month (~1500$), sometimes I get more sometimes less. Every sunday I shut myself off to write, and perform on weekdays, been doing this for 7 years now and it only started to pay for about 2 years.
MailMate on macOS even though I only use a fraction of its features.

eM Client on on Windows, because is it comparable with Thunderbird in managing my mails but also comes close to Outlook with its calendar and contacts management. Unlike Outlook, it support more open protocols like CalDAV and CardDAV out of the box.

AquaMail on Android, because of its customizability.

I don't use any web clients, because I prefer a unified experience across email providers but from those I tried, I prefer Fastmail's web clients. It somehow feels faster than all these native desktop apps and if I could use it as a generic IMAP/SMTP client like Roundcube, I would use it instead of native desktop apps.
I thought it was cool that Shannon grew up in Gaylord, Michigan, of all places. The authors note that Shannon found out he was related to his hero, Thomas Edison. Their common ancestor was John Ogdan, an early settler.

Other descendants of Ogdan include:

Edith Roosevelt, wife to President Teddy Roosevelt.

Frank Nelsen Doubleday, founder of the publisher.

And, Bill Weld, former Governor of Massachusetts. Former VP candidate in 2016 on the Libertarian ticket. And current GOP candidate for President.
Why, The Guardian is pretty left-leaning. So an influx of rich people is seen by it as bad.

That influx does incur real problems! But they are greatly exacerbated by the way they are (not) being solved.
My wife sells women's clothes as part of an MLM. I help her, mostly back office stuff but sometimes I help with shipping and sales.

MLMs (deservedly) have a bad rap. The focus is usually on recruiting rather than selling, and usually involves converting social relationships into business ones.

For us, it's more like being a franchisee. We do $20-25k in sales a month, have two part time assistants to help with shipping and cataloging inventory. We have non trivial spend on marketing and are actively involved in our local chamber of commerce and various networking groups.

My wife otherwise is home with our kids, and she loves it. It's busy, it's a ton of work, but we have fun doing it.

Great suggestion, done.
Ability to communicate privately is necessary for that "helping the victim out". The easier it is for abuser to control devices of abused, the harder it is to get out. And the harder it is to stay hidden after being out.

The default being "easy to spy and control someone else's devices" makes abuse easy and escape (both mental and physical) hard.

That helping and escaping and staying away is not something that happens without communication and privacy.
Not necessarily suggesting it for this, but for anyone not used to shapeways they have a wide range of materials, with plastics of different types, metals (I have silver wedding rings I got printed there) and ceramics.

I think sellers may be able to limit the materials to known working ones (each material has it's own requirements).

As the paper clearly illustrates, there were so few documented cases of refusal that they are negligible when weighing the war crimes of the Wehrmact and its members.

Good input. I'm actually going to be adding more products to choose from before entering the designer, so that would be a logical point to have pricing.
That's somewhat of an anthropomorphic bias that may or may not hold true and is impossible for us to determine until we meet said aliens.
I actually really really want to do this! It's a chicken and egg thing: do I try to get this 1 product profitable, and then use those profits to invest in new product lines? Or do I try to do multiple versions of the product at first (which comes at higher cost, since I'd start with a small production first?)

Also need to figure out how to ship to Europe more cheaply, since right now I'm sending everything from my little apartment in Brooklyn!

If you take a look at the shapeways page OP links he mentions that the nylon material is technically not rated food grade due to it being slightly porous. This can cause particles of the food to stick in the holes. He mentions it's not much of an issue with coffee since that just means some stale coffee, however I imagine it might be more of a problem with milk. It looks like shapeways has a variety of material, however.
Thunderbird runs on XULRunner - strictly speaking it's not Electron, but the overall architecture is very similar, with highly comparable drawbacks.

Some thoughts:

The tagline "for busy professionals, like you." immediately made exit the page without thinking.

It could be the best product in the world but I'm not going to use a product that treats me with such a patronizing attitude.

And whatever genius decided to hide the pricing behind another page doesn't understand their market. The price is the first and only thing I care about if we're talking about paid desktop clients. Everything else is secondary. And they might as well put the big honking "$40 per license" pricing right there at the top instead of further down the fishing rod. Anyone who considers that a worthwhile deal is going to pay it anyway. It's not a bad deal for a lifetime license.

However many customers would probably like something more than a 30-day free trial without a lifetime commitment. Offering a $3/mo subscription would probably majorly boost sales.

Are you arguing for removing essentials like (some) housing and clothing from market forces in order to keep prices from being artificially inflated?

I'm beginning to agree. I think people should still be able to buy houses, but I think municipalities should also buy apartments/houses and rent them out at-cost. This would put significant downward pressure on "essentials" while still allowing choice (nobody is stopping you from buying a house).

Hypercommodification of every aspect of our lives is starting to grow tiresome and the benefits it gives ("choice" supposedly) is only realized by those who hold a decent portion of the capital.
I use gmail both for home and work. I'm not really an email power-user though. I do like the gmail keyboard commands - they're surprisingly Vim-like, and I would remember them better if I worked with email more.

Haven't found any email desktop applications that were enough better to get me to switch back.
There’s a conversation view addon that makes it look like gmail - too much so in my opinion. You might find it helpful.
Speaking from experience in India, the indigenous people in India form the lowest strata of caste system. They were I'll treated and exluded from society for 1000s of years. Government now has a "schedule" of indegenous people that require government aid and affirmative action in jobs. These are people living in abject poverty.
Oh, sure. I mean, the first reason is because I am a backend engineer and all I know is python! The second reason is that it made it easy for me to iterate - you have no idea how painstakingly I adjusted the line thickensss, spacing, margins, etc. So being able to just update a little config file was super useful. And, finally, for future product lines (different sizes, for example) using code made it easy for me to, essentially, provide the dimensions of the book and have the code make the "right" design choices to generate a new PDF.

Basic steps, you'll need a bit Google for things specific to your device.

1. Enable developer mode

2. Enable sideloading apps

3. Download an APK of the app.

4. Your device should take it over from there.

I ~have~ had a Fire Phone, and it was fairly easy to install the Google Play Store (only because that's where all the apps are, unfortunately,) and installing Aptoide is also pretty easy, too.

Every once and a while Miyamoto will out think himself. I think he was trying to support / smooth the transition from 2D side-scrolling where the D-Pad was a known interface to the 3D world where the analog stick was a necessity.

But then they shipped with Mario 64 and no one gave a second thought to the D-Pad.

And yeah, I was harsh on the OG iPhone. It's hard being a new design.
If that were all there was to it it would be totally unsustainable. There are two possible goals of UBI, depending on who you ask:

1) Automation is going to make the concept of jobs obsolete. Therefore most of the population will simply die of poverty if we don't artificially redistribute all of the wealth.

2) Many people today are stuck in poverty because they're too financially stretched to pay for healthcare, education, a car to get to work, childcare, etc., even while spending all extra time working multiple jobs. The hope is that by giving them a life raft, they'll have the leeway to spend time, money, and energy on self-betterment, and thereby enrich the economy.

My argument is that #1 sounds good but doesn't seem robust against a few powerful bad actors. #2, though, could be quite effective.
> the numbers don't support you.

69% of all the land in the UK is farm land. Most farms are owned by individual farmers. Those farmers make up roughly 1% of the total population. The numbers absolutely support this (feel free to research it yourself if you don't want to take my comment as gospel).

There are legitimate signs of income inequality. This just happens to not be one of them. No one defines income equality as everyone in the country owning roughly the same acres of land. The vast majority of people live in urban areas, so we wouldn't expect that those city-dwellers all owned roughly the same percent of farmland.
I think this is a fascinating project, but I have to ask. How do you get your foot in the door with consumers? I'd feel a bit sketched out if someone showed up and just asked to follow me around for a while. What's the incentive?
Fast purge works with all kinds of site delivery ( and site delivery based ) products. Unlike modern CDNs Akamai other products ( such as for example VOD and media services ) do not live in the same object space and hence are not fast purge compatible.

You would think purging a video stream would be the same as purging a standard site delivery object, after all it the stream is http(s) accessible .m3u8 and a pile of .ts chunks but that's not the case -- in some cases it can take up to one hundred and twenty minutes.

The idea that this is going to be more expensive/isn’t paid for is ridiculous because it eliminates all of the money spent by private corporations on what should be a public service. It’s crazy that the government was able to shirk it’s responsibility to look after people and place that unfair burden on businesses. That makes it harder to run a business, harder to start a business, and increases your total cost of doing business in America. It’s time to relieve businesses of the burden of dealing with their employees health. The money they were paying to provide that service is going to pay for it. Isn’t that what America is all about — small business?

It doesn’t increase the size of government, those are flow-through dollars, they go in one side and out the other. A huge amount of American healthcare is already socialized between Medicare and Medicaid. If anything consolidating these disparate services should represent an administrative efficiency. And even if, so what?

Yes the government can then change health policy, that’s the point. If they cut it, deal with it at the ballot box. Right now there’s zero transparency and accountability with private insurers, so it’s strictly worse. In other countries the government treats health programs as sacred just like Medicare.

The data shows it works everywhere else, it can work here too. Government works in other countries, it can work here too. I’m curious as a free market health aficionado why not pitch privatizing Medicare? How’d you think that’d go over?
Default macOS or iOS mail app with Fastmail as my mail provider. I never had any issues with it and it works well. Search works well enough and I don’t need a lot of fancy features as I just archive emails to get to inbox zero. Everything that’s still in my inbox is stuff I have to deal with so it’s part of my todo list.

The churn rate on third party iOS mail apps always seems way too high and I don’t want to get used to a new app every 2 years.
Yet if the cows stopped producing milk, the farmers would simply let them all die off. And to stretch the metaphor, while the cows produce milk they have the option of unionizing. Saying "we'll all quit if you don't treat us better" only works while they care if you quit.
> My worry with UBI as a replacement for work is that it relies on the continued altruism of the elite

Well it relies on a fair and properly functioning democracy. We have a very corrupt system at the moment, people don't get what they want because politicians are bought and paid for by their donors. We need adequate defenses against this in our system, then it stops being anything to do with the altruism of the elite, because the majority regular folks are going to continue voting for the UBI or other benefits.

The other balance is the threat of revolution. Keep the population happy enough or they'll come for you.

Removing the gated community effect would also help. If the rich have to use the same services as the rest of us, then they have an incentive to ensure those services are well run. If large inheritances are effectively taxed away, then they have to ensure society provides a good platform for their children. Etc.
