I believe I can intro a good SaaS side business product to a potential buyer, what is the proper way to negotiate a commission for it? How to avoid that the buyer and seller skip me in the process? Thanks HN!
I'm surprised there's nothing in there about JSON; their page on json/jsonb [0] seems pretty clear that json has been all-but-superceded by jsonb.

When would json be preferable to jsonb? I can imagine cases where write-speed is essential and fancier queries and indices aren't needed, but that seems rare.

I agree with your characterization, but I'd call them 'corporate left'. There's still a grassroots left-wing movement in various countries that focuses on economics, the environment etc. it's just that they don't really have access to the sort of capital that would allow them to establish print/TV media in this day and age. For that you need corporate backing and corporations are not going to back such projects by definition.
Also, with the number of CCH licenses, those don’t needs a NICS check.

> The consequences was that he was ban from several services.

He made the claims in September 2014. He's being banned in May 2019. Such a gaping delay means this doesn't really qualify as a consequence.
NoSQL is based on this realization. Rather than optimize for IO with normalization, denormalize and pipe data more or less directly from storage to clients, simplifying the compute and consistency model to make distributed data easier.
> ...It requires being good in politics...

Well, Bernard Crick's definition of good politics is "ethics done in public". One can obviously quibble with that (ethical negotiation is generally informal and goal-directed in a way that political activities or processes can't feasibly be), but the basic point stands - what exactly is wrong with expecting people to be ethical?
Let's see, 3 for 3-gun matches, 1 more for PCC matches, 1 more for precision matches, a few extra if I don't compete in the same class for all of those, 1 the kids can shoot, 1 for my wife to carry, 1 for me to carry, bigger ones for the house and cabin, a few extras for the zombie apocalypse.

No, there's plenty of demand for guns. Remington's just lost their former reputation.
Financial Times have a very strong bias towards liberal economic policy. They support de-regulation and reduced state involvement in markets. Similar to the econmist.
I don't know for a fact, but I'm guessing it's because theres a lag in the supply chain. NIC checks may instantly reflect a drop in sales at individual stores, but it will be a bit before that drop works its way back up through the suppliers and distributors to Remington itself.
Yes Scuttlebutt is a big inspiration among others. I believe the primary change/improvement I'm making is that it runs on the device and is also focused on the user's data instead running on a server or doing distributed social networking.

I have actually had a good experience with CBD. I am an awful sleeper, made worse by being a long distance runner (which results in too much cortisol building up). Something was going to go wrong, as the lack of sleep and heavy training load was going to result in me burning out. I acquired some CBD and found it relaxed me noticeably and gave me the sort of deep sleep I have not had since my twenties. Just taking 4-5 drops before bed, means I feel like I could have a nice lay in if I wanted to, whereas before I would get out of bed tired feeling like I never had enough, but no way was I getting any more.
Yoga is pretty much meditation + stretching + balance exercises. It sure is overhyped if you only know it through ""influencers"" but if you dig a bit it's quite good + you don't need to go to fancy yoga studios, just use a foam pad and youtube.

Have you ever noticed all these buff dudes at the gym who look like goblins ? Well, that's because they don't stretch and focus on pecs / shoulders / arms, combine that with an office job and you'll do more harm than good
I do agree that if all banks want to cut off infowars that is their choice.

I also agree that all platforms can ban who they want on their private platforms.

It still doesn't make it the correct action as it just emboldens their audience.

If what they are saying is truly so horrible and shocking the public would be able to see this and easily make the choice to ignore them.

Also what has infowars done that has caused real world harm other than the example everyone uses with Sandy Hook. Not that I'm again endorsing or defending him, but Alex Jones did retract and apologize for his coverage during that time. What makes his apology any weaker than that of CNN's apology for the harassment the Covington kids had to endure?
It looks exactly like a Project Euler question, I wouldn't be too surprised if it's already been solved there in the forums.
Yup, and the sad bit is that it takes years of lifting and researching to realize this fact. Your typical beginner doesn't have a clue and just gets discouraged.

I have been lifting hard and consistently for about twelve years. I'm pretty strong and I have plenty of muscle, but to most people I just look "fit". That's fine and all, but these people grossly underestimate what it takes to get "big".

I once had an Uber driver party with us after a night out. The guy was thin, but told me he had begun lifting and wanted to get big I asked him what his goals were and he told me "a bit bigger than you". Later that night he was in my garage and saw that I regularly train with a 250lb sandbag (not huge I know, but I'm 185lbs and I throw it on my shoulder for reps.) He was shocked because he thought I was just a casual. He understood at that point that his expectations needed to be tempered.

I’m building a website for my physical therapist, and just yesterday had an interview where I asked for anecdotes and case studies about his career, etc.

When I asked what the most common thing people came to him with, he immediately said, "Yoga. I started out in a clinic down in the West Village across the street from a yoga studio, most of my clients were men who hurt their backs or their necks doing yoga positions."

I have trouble with those too: they're a composition of false/true with positive/negative to denote whether a finding of yes/no is right/wrong, but I can never remember whether false/true corresponds to yes/no or to right/wrong.

Just say things like "right yes" or "wrong no" and I'll understand. The only problem with that way of speaking is that it doesn't sound fancy.

You should charge "per month/year", if you have any intention of supporting your product and your customers long term.

Sell the library for X EUR, and then charge Y Eur/year for ongoing support and maintenance, where Y is a fraction of X. If the user does not want the support and maintenance, so be it, they can use the software indefinitely. In my experience, most serious users have no problem paying for long term support.

Good luck.

The point of normalization is logical consistency, not IO optimization.
Yes I agree. And I'm pleading that everyone also recognise the other aspects of these.incidents such as improper basic procedure. It's all of the above.

Edit: And remember at the end of the day, these airlines and pilots agreed to fly the plane. Even in the wake of the LionAir incident. At the end of the day, the pilots choose to fly and can say no if they aren't comfortable. And if the answer to this is that there is pressure from airlines to keep flying? We just found another major issue and danger in aviation

Edit2: should clarify actually that I agree it's a bad design. Not about the procedures being "unintuitive". If the pilots think the corrective procedures are unintuitive they shouldn't fly any 737 since stab trim systems exist on all 737s and require the same corrective procedure in runaway stab trim.
> it comes from the Sanskrit 'arya', meaning 'nobleman', and originally referred to a people who spoke an Indo-Iranian language and migrated from Central Asia to India and Iran.

I thought it referred to a hypothetical group of ppl who spoke the root language of all indo-european group of languages. It didn't ever refer to a specific group of ppl that are known to exist to us, only hypothetical.

I think their name "aryans" is not related to Mueller's aryan invasion theory. Its merely a coincidence. Author seems to have conflated both of those. Sanskrit arya has nothing to do with origins of the tribe or migration from iran.
Remington just doesn’t have that many interesting guns. There are a ton of firearms manufacturers in the last 20 years. I’m guessing the AR-15 market alone is billions in revenue.
NIC happens at retail. I suppose it would take time for retail sales volume changes to ripple back through the supply chain, so maybe manufacturers view it as a leading indicator.

> Foreign policy increasing immigration does not make illegal immigration ok.

No, but it does make you a giant hypocrite when you're complaining about a 'crisis at the border', while perusing policies that make such crisis more likely.
If you truly think such a principle can be "misused", then you really haven't understood it.
"Quitting her job meant she could spend more time with her daughter and offset some of her childcare expenses, but it also required her to make lifestyle changes"

There are many women that have this same sentiment. Which is why there will always be a pay disparity. I don't think it's a bad thing, but it's not related to sexism or women intentionally getting paid less.
Anecdotally most of them are full of shit though. I have been around weight training a long time and so many of these people are little more than steroids, fake weights, and Photoshop. But they're more than willing to sell you their 'secret', which is always "eat good food, watch your calories, and lift weights."
Yeah, the adult nappy time one is usually called restorative. Things like vinyasa or hatha are pretty intense, though.
Calling out racism is unsubstantive?
If someone wants to find beauty they should work for a charity. There are people suffering everyday everywhere.

"Everyone"
PT Barnum knew how profitable this business model was years ago. There's one born any minute. Its a pity, too, because The Guardian used to do real journalism. Now its a rag pushing conspiracy theories and MI6 propaganda. Unbelievably, they still haven't retracted their debunked story about Paul Manfort turning invisible and meeting Assange in the Ecuadorian Embassy three times. Embarrassing.
By asking the people voting how well they feel they are able to express their interests and how well they think the result expresses the group interest.

In this case it sounds like they’ve got a group who are used to voting together and having outcomes that don’t make it very clear exactly what the group wants, and then after implementing this the group found the results much more expressive.
This is sick. I can't believe as human beings we still do this to other conscious creatures with feelings. It's emotionally traumatizing.

It's wrong.
Great to see support for D. Albeit DMD and LDC are freely available, official recognition for D in GCC is a huge win for the community. Kudos to Iain Buclaw for his persistence.
yoga in this context refers to ONLY the stretching.

Then you should have just said "stretching".

Yoga is a generic term.

So is "strength training", but it's not so generic that I get to just make shit up.

>men practically have to use steroids for anyone to believe they go to the gym.

Agree with most of what you're saying here, but I disagree with the phrasing "believe you go to the gym."

I believe there's a noticeable difference between men and women who lift even a little bit, and people who don't at all. I don't think you have to look shredded to have a noticeably improved aesthetic (in the majority Western concept of physical attractiveness).

When my partner started doing a dead simple lifting plan 1 hour 2 days a week, she was getting comments from friends and co-workers she hadn't mentioned she was lifting to within a month. Basically, I don't want people to be demotivated by hulk like steroid users - you can look good naturally, and there's lots of other reasons to lift anyway (dopamine hit, posture, higher strength, etc).
Facemasks?
Normally I'm all in favor of extreme skepticism of corporate incentives, especially VC-backed corporations.

But this article's premise doesn't make sense to me. The market pressure right now isn't to make these foods extra cheap or extra wasteful, it's to make them at all, period. Neither Beyond Meat nor Impossible existed in any way for most consumers five years ago.

Yes, we'll need a discussion around health and regulation - we always need that. But right now I don't see a need to make vegan meat both achieve being decent in quality and availability _and_ a panacea to all our other food-related societal problems. That seems like massive scope creep to me.
5G Depends on Kubernetes in the Cloud
Quoting from the page:

"Q: Is Docker experiencing a security incident?

A: No, this is a scheduled update and a proactive step we are taking to provide the best possible customer experience and highest level of security."
I would have to agree with this. In the days when .NET was top dog and GitHub was not still a thing people spent insane amounts of money for libs that would save them time. Per client, per developer, per "seat", per core, anything you can think of someone charged for it. Telerik is the one that comes to mind, but they mostly did dev-oriented stuff.

The pay-more-once scheme always seemed the most easy choice for companies I worked for, as they wanted to be able to sell products that they couldn't easily keep charging for after the sale.
> They aren’t violating your rights. At least not in an obvious way.

Easy to say. How about evidence. I offer all the evidence from Snowden and other whistle blowers to beg the contrary.

To me, it's very obvious unless you are intentionally not wanting to see it.

Notice I said if only in intent, I'm not here to split hairs on legalese. Intent in things like the Fourth Amendment to me is very clear.

I live in an area where when I go for weekend drives, I have to stop at border patrol check points where I am forced to stop and answer officer's questions. I'm not even traveling between states and I'm over 50 miles from the boarder in those points.

Trust me, I understand the legalese they use to justify it. They define a border zone that I think goes a hundred or two miles in land, which means it covers something like 70% of major American metro areas and allows the gov to basically conduct illegal searches by creating a loop hole.

But that is the point. My rights are routinely violated with impunity. People who have stood up to this get literally crushed. Clear whistle blowers are declared spies. It's them working to undermine my rights. Rights that people literally died so I could have. I think it's wrong to let those rights go. It's why I support things like the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
One I hate is sin^{2}(x) meaning "sine squared" and sin^{-1}(x) meaning "the inverse of the sine function".
Of course. It seems that that’s exactly what’s happening here. These people are being paid a salary to do a bunch of open source and other work.

The company just recognizes that people that continue contributing at home still bring them some form of value, and it is very nice to see that this is recognized and rewarded, regardless of the amount.

Maybe we’ll get to a point where this will be the norm, and companies will have to go further to stand out, but right now this is pretty amazing.
One major problem with most of the CBD craze going on is that many products put enough CBD into a product to say "contains CBD" but not anywhere near the dosage required to actually have an impact/effect on most people.
They are missing an awesome opportunity. Provide a place for people to say why they won't.

A lot of that input will be garbage. Some seriously laughable in a good way, a few gems.

>I've actually found that books priced on the Indigo website will be more expensive in store

Right, that's what I was getting at in my post. It looks like they know they have to compete with Amazon on this front, and in the process they've reduced the incentive to shop in their physical stores.
Sure. But the point of (early) NoSQL was IO optimization, not logical consistency.
> But if you can't do that perhaps deep down in side you know there is something wrong with your position. If you still believe in it you ought to have a solid argument.

Or you believe you have a solid argument, but realize it's an unpopular one, and have seen others with unpopular arguments be harassed and fired for them. (How ironic that you raise this argument in a thread literally about people suffering for their unpopular arguments!)

> Having a real name forces at person to be honest

People can only be truly honest when anonymous, and assured safety from consequences.
Kubernetes predecessors like Mesos/Aurora tend to already run on metal, but workloads are still going through the kernel for I/O. To take advantage of this, you would expose NICs and SSDs directly to applications, potentially bypassing the controls currently offered around containers (because these are enforced in the kernel).
> Anything more interesting will always have a bias as long as it is written by humans.

While that is technically true, it's also a completely meaningless objection. Like I said, being unbiased is the goal. It's an ideal.

For comparison, even though it may be technically impossible to have zero lead in drinking water, your goal is still to minimize it.

Ask HN: Is Resy focusing too much on marketing?
https://medium.com/@nickkokonas/the-restaurant-reservations-game-is-about-to-finally-get-wild-be06e64dde12

Was looking at new restaurant-reservation systems since we are looking to transfer from Opentable to Resy. I found this blog post by the CEO of Tock, Kokonas, that talks about the merger between Resy and Reserve. Kokonas believes Resy is flying to close to sun and will forget the needs of their customers.

While Resy is quite robust, the money they are spending for their merger might be too much. Could their focus on marketing and expanding be their downfall? As time passes I could see how Resy forgets to meet the new needs of their customers if they don't have enough focus in R&D.
An example I’ve used a few times — go watch female MMA matches. Hell, go with straw weight, where the competitors are tiny. Every time they twist and bend you can just see the sort of folds that will convince women they’re too fat.

Compare the bodies of body builders (who are trying to bulk up as much as they possibly can) with those of athletes who actually need to _use_ the muscles — anything from gymnasts to team sports players to strong man competitions. Look at people who achieve insane feats like Alex Honnold. Those are not gym bunny bodies, because they simply can’t afford to have useless bulk
I am finding the same thing in corporate culture. If you identify problems in the corporation, the solution isn't to solve the problems, it's to isolate and vilify the person who identifies the problem.

Fire that person and there's no more problem.

I think your point ignores that there's a mandatory federal pension system w/ a minimum benefit that people who don't save in private pension plans or who may only have temp jobs do contribute to, and will draw from in old age. It's true that it's not fully funded, sure, but if it didn't exist it would be the obvious policy solution to the problem you're describing.
It is surprisingly difficult to build train tracks given a set of parts, even without taking junctions into account - there is a challenge about it on Stack Overflow's Programming Puzzle site (https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/q/116607/66060) and there is only one answer in the two years it's been there. In some ways, real life engineers have it easier - they don't have to plan routes based on the parts in the box!
^^ This guy gets it
Agree, I kept re-reading, and couldn't understand what was the article saying. It just tells about how there are fitness influencers and that they obviously make money off sponsored content.

The whole time, I thought it was going to say that they're not really fit at all, and are all mostly plastic surgery, implants and steroids, but not a single mention of that beyond the title and its accompanying illustration.

I also find #2 interesting. For fitness, unless your fake (which I thought the article was gonna discuss somewhat, but didn't), your creds are the photos and videos of your body and what you can do with it. That's mostly what people follow them for anyways.
