I want a service that can handle all my domain's traffic on a per domain per month basis instead of per user. PurelyMail is the only one like this that I've found but it's still in beta and the owner has been having some problems getting past Microsoft's spam filters.

Is there any service that will host my email with as many users as I want for a flat (or bandwidth/storage-based) fee?
Also can this be called a Freelancer CRM ... as it looks more like a customer relationship management tool for a freelancer, than a freelancing platform ?
some of the younger homeless folks are that by choice. The largest % of the population isn't though.
email addresses need to be transferable like phone numbers, it was a mistake to tie them to a domain I think. Too big of a hassle to move email addresses.
Yeah, I think after it sold to.. Jay Z or someone? It started going off the rails. Prior to that I loved that service though.

If you're running linux, just riping the CDs is fairly hands-off once it's configured:

abcde can be configured to save a flac with an embedded cue-sheet. You can make it totally non-interactive, and a simple "eject -t; abcde; eject" will load the tray, rip the CD and eject the tray.

Then just load a CD in every time the tray ejects. I ripped a bit under 300 CDs in a week with the only extra time spent on it being setting everything up.
Tests on Phoronix show Clear having significant wins in a number of tests. They have done so by rewriting libraries to perform well with Intel hardware. Those who complain about a 25% performance hit elsewhere can now be shown pretty good performance with Clear that isn't attainable with other distros.
The phenomenon you're talking about wouldn't explain much of the problem, given that most homeless people lived here before they were homeless. In the 2017 census, 69% of SF homeless were from SF, and 21% were from elsewhere in CA. 10% out of state.

I am impressed with the way Stack Overflow is handling this, but I would appreciate details about how a bug in the development tier gave an attacker the ability to escalate their access in production. Does the development tier have production keys? Did the attacker learn about some other bug through access to the development tier? Is the development tier sharing a privileged private network with the production tier? Hopefully the security community can learn from this incident to improve best practices.

Someone please smash together a chart of Tesla vehicle sales and homelessness rates in California. I think it would be very interesting.
Do you have an intuition why? It doesn’t seem rational. If you’re a low end service worker, and economic conditions push you into homelessness, why wouldn’t you go somewhere else?

Does perhaps your perception of economic conditions make it feel like it’ll be shit everywhere and so you’re better off with your local social network?

The standard changed because people came out with a apparatus for using it. If there wasn't one, it wouldn't have changed.

But it's fit for measuring micrograms up to grams. One won't measure actual kg on it, at least not currently.

I don't think that's the kind of "mature" they were talking about. From context, I think it's pretty clear they were thinking about product maturity. If customers are suspicious of organizational stability, they use a different set of excuses. E.g., they'll ask about funding, large customers, track record.

Thats what I mean - there might be benefits too. For example, a bit of crushing might trigger damage-response in the brain which leads to more growth.

Since this has been the case for millions of years, evolution might well use what appears to be a disadvantage as an advantage in some cases. Just like there are some kinds of tree which grow better with occasional forest fires.
They are also a huge drag on resources designated for homelessness.

It is honestly hard to tell in these situations when they are lying by omission and when they are plain stupid. I think it is usually a form of apathy whereby what is produced is bullshit (in the technical meaning of the essay, "On Bullshit", whereby people don't care whether a thing is true or false so long as it's published).

It's hard to say because the mechanisms for the mass loss are not fully known. In fact, we are just guessing that mass loss actually occurred, and how much did occur. How would we have measured the mass change of the reference kilogram? By definition the reference kilogram was the most stable quantity of mass we could have generated at the time, and the most well protected quantity of mass for the duration of it's service as the reference kilogram.

I think mass loss is probably proportional with either the surface area or the surface area of the handled portion. This is just a hypothesis based on what I suspect the mechanism for mass loss is (friction from air resistance and being touched). Now that we have a more accurate way of measuring mass we could repeat the experiment of trying to preserve a quantity of mass, even doing different variations based on quantity, material, conditions, etc. Such an experiment would be relatively expensive and take a long time for good results, but maybe someone curious with funding will do it.

EDIT: The idea that we could have preserved a gram of material, while measuring it's mass every 40 years, for the last 130 years while it only lost 5 picograms (1/1000th of the estimated mass of the reference kilogram lost) is so crazy I can't believe it.

"Homeless by choice" is a long disproven myth. There are exceptions, of course, but often young people experiencing homelessness are on the streets because they were explicitly forced out of their homes by their guardians or were forced out because of sexual abuse.

From an article in Hoodline, quoting Mary Howe, founder of the Homeless Youth Alliance,

> [San Francisco's Haight Street] is an international destination for youth who come seeking refuge from abusive families, alienating foster care and group home situations, and juvenile justice system involvement. These homeless young people encounter constant threats to both their physical and mental health while on the streets.

Ask HN: How do you manage user feedback as a founder?
The reason I'm asking is because of my recent experience with a project.

It can be quite time-consuming to keep all the user feedback organized when it comes from many different channels, tools, and sources.

I like to keep "track" of every user and have a sense of how happy/confused/annoyed is, especially if I'm planning to reach them out.

I find most of the tools available an overkill.

So, how do you manage user feedback?
Angel Dart: A polished back-end framework in Dart
I built and ran a groupware/crm system from 2001 to 2009. But didn't get the traction I needed and couldn't afford the co-located hosting any longer. I spent 3 years developing it full-time myself and very part time on it the rest of the time. While also supporting a wife and two kids.

I moved it to very cheap hosting, told everyone it was closing, but then never closed it but didn't accept new signups. Checking now there is still a little usage in 2019 (although the majority of usage stopped in 2016).

It costs me $20 to keep alive, using GoDaddy. It was $14 a month but GoDaddy keeps raising their hosting price with no notification.

Eventually I will re-design the UI to Boostrap to make it modern and relaunch it.

What I am trying to say is if you made something nice that you like, you can keep it alive and work on it sometime in the future. You never know when Slack is going to bought out and then eventually die. You could be the DuckDuckGo to Google but for Slack. If you had a million dollar marketing budget things would be different.
That ignores the fact that the percentage of the population who smokes has dropped drastically from when measures were put in place.

Yeah, those warnings don't stop addicts, but they totally changed the public discourse about smoking, and societal attitudes toward the habit. I don't see a reason why that wouldn't work for other harmful behaviors like social media addiction.
ModernFW Was an Announcement This Week That Went Largely Unnoticed
We can't really reckon with our homeless problem without reckoning with the way we treat the severely mentally ill. At this point, we don't treat them.
Many of the homeless, and a majority of the chronically homeless, are people who are severely mentally ill.

We used to have a state psychiatric hospital system. That system has been destroyed. Now, the severely mentally ill, when they get any treatment at all, are primarily treated in American prisons.

https://www.governing.com/topics/health-human-services/gov-m...

"Many times individuals who really do require intensive psychiatric care find themselves homeless or more and more in prison," Sisti says. "Much of our mental health care now for individuals with serious mental illness has been shifted to correctional facilities."

The percentage of people with serious mental illness in prisons rose from .7 percent in 1880 to 21 percent in 2005, according to the Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights.

A consensus of other experts estimates that the total number of state beds required for acute and long-term care would be more like 50 beds per 100,000 in the population [5]. At the peak of availability in 1955, there were 340 beds per 100,000 [5]. In 2010, the number of state beds was 43,318 or 14.1 beds per 100,000 [7].
It's quite impressive how things have turned. Not long ago Walmart was about to disrupt the German supermarket landscape. They even tried to cut prices to below market cost to conquer Aldi, Lidl, and the other big discount supermarket chains. After a couple of years they gave up and left. Now Aldi appears to be "fighting back" successfully in the US.

The history of Aldi's efficiency [0] is pretty impressive. It actually started with two brothers nearly going broke with their small grocery store. Then they realized that if they'd reduce the diversity of goods they offer and instead sell only the most common goods in bulk, they could undercut the competition's prices. This concept was so successful that it led to a multi billion dollar business which is still dictating the prices of common groceries in Germany.

Still there are other supermarket chains that have adapted to the Aldi strategy and are actually causing growth issues for Aldi. Their concept is to offer basic goods at the same price as Aldi does, then upsell more special and higher price items while offering a better shopping experience. I guess that's what's going to happen in the US as well eventually.

> I believe that encouraging parents to invest in their children's growth is a good thing.

No disagreement from me there. However, I would prefer if a child's outcome were not so dependent on how willing their parents are to make sacrifices.

> Simply put, parents are now forced to weigh the comparative benefit of a high-end university education over the child's development. I'm betting that diminishing returns on development investment will at some point encourage investment in gaming the adversity score instead.

I'd argue the current system already does this. Placing such a high emphasis on scores just makes it so that parents are strongly encouraged to put their children in SAT/AP prep scores while ignoring other things that would likely be much more important.

I went to a school full of wealthy students. Almost all of them took prep classes to get really high scores.

As far as I could tell, there was absolutely no instance of people learning for the sake of learning and little no to interest in doing something for the sake of a child's development.
As it happens, this incident was discovered by a curious user who had a script watching for new accounts with staff privileges, who brought the attacker's account it to the company's attention (in chat) because it looked unusual.

>Your notion that forked = better is outdated.

You're beating a strawman here. Nowhere did I make the claim that it was better. I even said multithreading is more performant. The only claim I make is that immutable and shared nothing model of PHP servers makes horizontal scalling more straightforward.

>You're going to be using a thread pooled server anyway to handle requests

That doesn't take away the fact that n parallel requests will require n threads.

>And this doesn't even get into the more efficient compilation. PHP has no JIT yet. There's overhead for type inference. Etc etc

I don't make any claims here either. Of course Java is faster here. My point was specifically about which model of concurrency and paralellism is better for server IO.

Truth and Lies: Ensuring the Integrity of Our Data Warehouse

I think the point that this article drove home to me is that a lot of Aldi's "bare bones" mentality actually leads to a better experience for most shoppers, even separate from the lower prices. For example, the comment from a customer about the store layout making it easier to get in and out with kids in tow. The Aldi store brands have a reputation for good quality without the "50 kinds of salsa" paralysis of choice. The register lines move faster because there is no bagging. Store employees are more helpful because they are cross-trained, etc.

I think this contrasts with a place like WalMart where employees are often less-than-helpful, so much of the products are low quality, etc.
Chomsky has made many such remarks and they're always interesting, but I think what Searle had to say about it—he was a personal friend of Foucault—is even more interesting ("I asked him: why the hell do you write so badly?")

> "The rating will not affect students’ test scores, and will be reported only to college admissions officials as part of a larger package of data on each test taker."

I could be wrong, but my interpretation here is that there's a lot more data on students the CollegeBoard is reporting to colleges that students taking the test don't see or know about.

This also seems unfair to assess students on hidden metrics. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if the CollegeBoard were to (or currently does) partner with Equifax to see parents' credit histories. There's an entire analytics farm on students.
And I can say the opposite is true at Credit Suisse and the Royal Bank of Canada and WalMart and Toyota and Chevron and AT&T ...

This is a national problem (ie. anyone in the US can be homeless anywhere), and yet it's trying to be solved at a city level.

Logistically that is impossible and makes no sense.

As for why there are so many young people homeless in SF, it's probably because SF is one of the most willing cities trying to solve a national problem by itself. We also have great weather (not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter). And probably a lot of generous people walking the streets.

It's really horrible what our national government has allowed to happen in our country and it's impractical for our city to hold the burden to solve this nation's problems.

What I see this helping is the proliferation of OpenStreetMap applications. For instance, OsmAND and Maps.me (as I vaguely understand it? Please correct me if I'm wrong) have their own data files served from their own servers, copied from the source OpenStreetMap DB. Periodically, the app developers update the data on their servers, and users soonafter get those updates. (I like this system at least as an option; offline maps are convenient and at least in theory more private.)

Where it gets interesting is if you fork the program. Perhaps OsmAND and Maps.me aren't so fond of having their data used by forks of their applications, for whatever reason. This creates a pretty major barrier for people who want to make a fork; they now have to maintain a data server. (Fortunately for F-Droid users like me, there is a fork of Maps.me simply called Maps. It removes ads, so I imagine Maps.me isn't interested in subsidizing it in the form of server access. I'm not sure what they worked out as far as storage.)

It always occurred to me that they could mostly solve this problem with bittorrent. But if the entire database is torrent-like with Peermaps, that's even better. It could remove one of the barriers to experimenting with new apps. Or so it seems to me.
We can debate about definitions, but I wouldn't call people living out of expensive, customized vans homeless.

Those people still have a roof over their heads. They just don't have a mailing address.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Apparently, San Francisco does count those among the homeless.

Background note from the contributor on its page[0] in RCLibrary[1]:

> "I am a member of a small but now inactive group called The Motor Boys International. As part of our activities we compiled a book of engineering drawings for the construction of model aircraft engines. This book was published and sold by the AMA (Academy of Model Aeronautics) in 1997, and profits from the sales went to support the junior membership of that organization. The book is now out of print and unavailable. The web site of our Motor Boys Group http://www.modelenginenews.org still exists but is frozen due to the untimely death of its compiler, our member Ron Chernich. In the editorial of the penultimate monthly update of the web site in November, Ron decided that in the last issue on December 2003, he would make the book available to all in pdf format. Sadly Ron's health was such that although the December 2003 issue was published, it did not include the pdf version of the book. There are few surviving members of our group, but we are agreed that making the book freely available is a good thing to do. There were two editions and there were a number of additions and corrections that appeared over time. I have scanned my [first edition] book and added the additions and corrections which turn it in effect to being like the second edition, only better. I have compiled all the pages into a single indexed pdf file."
