> This doesn't make any sense - real estate speculation would increase the purchase price of real estate but cannot directly impact rental rates.

Not an expert, but seems to me they could indirectly, by reducing supply of rentable apartments:

Consider district X with n rentable apartments located in m buildings.

Now some buildings get vacated and are kept empty by speculators.

The apartments from those houses are not anymore available for rent, however, the demand for rentable apartments stays the same - therefore landlords of the remaining apartments now have leeway to raise rent without being punished by the market.

Yes, even Facebook's "successful" model is kind of a failure because it encourages people to spam all their friends and relatives with crappy memes.

It seems like a better model should somehow encourage people to think about their audience and post what they would appreciate.
Yea the new Xeon E-21XX's are proving hard to find in the consumer market. Most places are back ordered or just place orders directly with intel after you buy. The scalpers are changing $50+ or more over retail on Ebay and 3rd party Newegg/Amazon sellers.

"I think it could be around 40% more productive."

Why do you think this? What metrics do you have to support this thought?

The one thing I wish managers everywhere would burn into their memory is this, "If you can't measure productivity outside of time spent in chair (looking at code), then you're not actually measuring productivity."

Productivity should be measured based on whether or not a team is meeting both their team goals as well as the team's individuals meeting their own goals. These goals need to be clear and realistic. A manager that is setting unrealistic, vague, or otherwise unclear goals is a problem.

When teams and individuals repeatedly meet their goals then you can increase the amount and/or difficulty. Or if it is an agile shop, the team should be increasing their "velocity" or whatever metric is used to determine work done, you shouldn't be left with too many empty days in a sprint. If you increase the amount of work or difficulty of work and these individuals are still looking at investment/finance websites after accomplishing their goals, then it is likely that you as the manager were under-utilizing the skills of the individuals on your team.

The other important thing to remember is that engineers get blocked. Sometimes more frequently than is desirable. When this happens, managers need to get involved in order to work with others in the organization to alleviate the block and potentially alter processes for the long-term.
IMHO there need to be balance between open source and revenue, protocol and products. Just because everyone is going one way, doesn't mean it is correct.

I've never heard anyone call Jira the industry standard. There's way too much fragmentation in that market for anyone to be able to make that claim.

Jira can work well or it can work very poorly. It really depends on what you're trying to do with it and what resources you're willing to pour into it. That's why some people love it while others hate it.

A red flag for dishonesty, if you want a broader answer — it is entirely possible that the author hasn't indeed seen Patreon before, but as it is, Patreon is a very widely known company and it looks like a rip-off, even if it isn't. Much in the same vain you could make an apple with a bite your logo, but it would look like you're just a copycat.
I've tried using Musipedia on several different occasions, and achieved absolutely nothing. It lures me with the ‘microphone’ section, into which I tried whistling after jumping browsers to resurrect Flash from the dead. I've clumsily transcribed a couple melodies into the ‘keyboard search,’ tried the contour thing and even knocked something out in the ‘rhythm search.’ Bupkis. More often, it emits an error during processing my pitiable attempts, so I don't even know if it can actually find anything with those offending inputs.

There's also Midomi, into which I similarly whistled, hummed and even made some endeavors at singing, and likewise got no luck.

I feel like there indeed should be a music search engine that works from whistling, but I haven't encountered one so far.

In a vaguely topical sentiment, I several times had success with Audiotag.info—but you need a piece of the actual music there. It worked better for me than Shazam, SoundCloud or Picard.

Harry Potter is probably the most famous example of YA.

Good Reads have a whole section for it: https://www.goodreads.com/genres/young-adult
Young Adult stories are stories that are often where the protagonists are coming-of-age, still dealing with school or part-time jobs, parents are significant in their lives, etc. The themes are often coming-of-age, finding suitable mentors (and avoiding villanous mentors), new love, etc.

I'd suggest:

The City Of Ember

Akata Witch

The Hate U Give

There's also the ones most people know: Silverwing (more children's literature), Harry Potter, Holes...
If you want to compare to Xeons, the comparison aren't the consumer CPUs this is about, the AMD equivalent are the Epyc CPUs.

AMD doesn't disable ECC support entirely on consumer CPUs like Intel does, but as far as I know it's also not officially supported and guaranteed to work, it's up to the mainboard vendor how to handle this. In the Intel case you simply can't get ECC with non-Xeon CPUs.

Step one: high-level acceptance tests. Does the system as a whole do what it should do from the end user perspective? Add your highest priority cases first: the functionality that if we it breaks, your business is at risk. Keep adding more cases.

As for many services, are these to separated out to help teams from stepping on each other? I firmly believe that if you have many teams running their own services, that each service should control its own data store, and any communication that does not need an immediate response should happen through a message bus of some sort. If the response is real time, a network call makes sense. However! If you have micro service hell and it is not for scaling teams, you might benefit from going back to fewer services doing more things with shared data stores (but well defined data boundaries and packages). If you have a tangled mess of services calling each other and services dependant on other services and cyclical dependencies, something is wrong. Dependencies should be one direction. If two services share many dependencies, it is worth asking if they should be combined to one service.

Is there an API gateway that allows one place for requests to go? That could help with the confusion of where to find data.

Whatever the desired architecture is, migrating to it requires refactoring and that requires tests. You need to be confident that a change does not break the system.

Also anecdata, but we've had some success having replanted the garden with a variety of plants that produce more nectar than those we had previously. Although I don't think a hive has started anywhere, we've had plenty of solitary bees this year which we don't regularly see.

Mattermost CEO here,

We're working on getting more awareness around Mattermost as an open source Slack-alternative.

We just raised another $50M to invest in our product, on top of $20M we announced 4 months ago. Compared to the $1.2B Slack's raised, it's not that much--but we think dollars in open source can do more.

Our market is enterprise, particularly enterprise DevOps, so there's not as much brand marketing going on.

If Slack were Nike, I think Mattermost would be like the manufacturer of business-style shoes people wear into banks, governmental agencies, manufacturing companies, etc. where sneakers don't typically go.

We want to be just as comfortable and functional as Nikes, but our priority is to make our users and customers look good, and make them successful and build their brand, not promote our brand.

Our brand is to serve.

Fair warning to users, you should never ever pipe something from the web directly into a shell.

I'm sure the author here has good intentions but, this is aimed at beginners (I'll assume, doubt anyone reasonably experienced would humor this) and teaching them a terrible idea.
The article mentioned that "In May, Facebook announced that it will raise contractor wages by $3 an hour". If Facebook is dictating the wages of content moderators, then it is an employer, and all of these "contractors" should be reclassified as such, with Facebook paying all back wages, benefits, etc.

Here are some other ideas:

Instead of having content moderators watch 200 of these videos per day, distribute the load over the entire Facebook workforce. Or, when a content moderator flags a video for removal, verify that by making a regular Facebook employee watch the video to confirm the removal. This should increase the accuracy rate above the 98% threshold Facebook has set. That should put a finer point on the problem.

I could barely read descriptions of these videos. There's no way I could watch one, let alone 200 a day. This work is like being in a war, and they should be paid like a soldier who is risking their life / mental health.
> You seem to think it's a very sinister practice but imagine making a video of what the product you're working on now will look like in two years.

The solution to this is showcasing your product when it's much closer to release. I'd welcome the idea of revealing games months before release and some developers already practice this approach, like Borderlands 3.

Hell, I'd even go as far as suggesting a true announce when it's done approach: Take something like Cyberpunk 2077 - just imagine the idea of Keanu Reeves mentioning that it's available...today.

Specifically, all the current social networks are starting to feel long in the tooth.

Ask HN: How do I take my consulting business to the next level?
About six months ago I started my own one man software consulting company. Now I'm working for two clients making things and having a blast.

The problem is that these are subcontracts where I'm blocked from cultivating the relationship with these companies. I'd like to take my company to the next level, work directly with clients and build out my own team of engineers. Is there any playbook to do this? Has anyone here done this before? If so, how?

I've thought of networking at local events and possibly tech conferences, but I'd like a solid game plan before I invest the time and energy. Any advice is appreciated.

> and no other place can so readily spin up a new factory.

No other place to spin up a new factory within the current cost structure and logistics time line. It is not that the capabilities are hard to replicate, it is expensive to replicate. No to mention some of those component can still be exported if necessary.

Once you added traffic, ( If the company is US focused or have US as large customers ) you start doing calculation whether moving make sense in the long term. ( And of course it does )
Intel knew that the Netburst Architecture was power hungry so it had established an Israeli team to develop a mobile architecture in tandem. I believe they started with Tualatin or another late PIII design and optimized the hell out of the microcode. I believe that became Banias and they continued to bring in aspects of Netburst to produce the precursors to the Core line.
Just use C or C++ with testing, fuzzing, sanitizers. It will probably be done before an equivalent Rust project compiles.

I absolutely agree on TypeScript, I love that it's opinionated and simply versioned. Every time I have to step back into a codebase that uses Babel and X number of different plugins it just tires me. Typescript is just Typescript, and the compiler works fantastically well.

> Better still, a lot of these languages are coming to the browser (via WASM or transpilation)

I think this has always been a concern - CoffeeScript had its moment in the sun, then the good parts got merged into JS and it died out. We'll see if that happens again.

WASM concerns me, though, because of the utility you outline, which doesn't actually serve the end-user in any way shape, or form. Much like we're seeing tiny webapps made with React (and requiring browsers to download and parse the accompanying runtime), I worry we're going to see sites using e.g. Kotlin in WASM simply because that's the developer preference, totally ignoring the fact that it means every user is going to have to download a Kotlin runtime and garbage collector despite there being a perfectly good JavaScript one sitting right there.

Another interesting podcast on the topic of kidnapping: http://www.econtalk.org/anja-shortland-on-kidnap/

Goes into the details of kidnapping as a business venture from the kidnappers perspective, and how a price equilibrium is found between 'buyers' (ransom payers) and 'sellers' (kidnappers).

On interesting story was when the partner of a small business owner got kidnapped as punishment for failing to pay some protection money. When the business owner went to negotiate the ransom, the kidnappers had had an accountant already go through the businesses fiances so they knew exactly how much they could ask for, without it bankrupting the business owner (so that the owners company could keep thriving and thus could keep paying protection money).
Hello HN Community!

This is Jacobo, one of the cofounders @ Arengu. I am looking to receive some feedback of what we've been working for the last months.

We've created Arengu to help building and scaling your sign-up process without dealing with complex integrations or wasting valuable development resources.

Unlike other online form builders, Arengu allows you to connect your forms with any API and execute actions at different stages of your form. This is specially useful to cover advanced uses cases like a multi-step form with SMS verification, verify if an email is valid or if it's already registered in your system, validate data against 3rd party services, sign up users or authenticate them with your API, etc.

How we do this?

- We have a flows module where you can visually build your business logic: native integrations, custom HTTP requests, if/then conditions, etc. Validation flows need to finish with a return response action with a success or failure message that will be automatically mapped to your form.

- Inside our drag & drop form builder, you can trigger flows at different stages of your form: between form steps, before submission or after submission. As an example, if your flow validates users email (valid MX record) and someone provides a fake email, it will show an error message on the browser but, if the user provides a good email, it will allow the user to continue to the next form step or submit the form.

When Arengu is useful?

- As a SaaS boilerplate. When you start building a new SaaS there is always a bunch of non-core features that you always need to develop: registration and login forms, recurring payments, task automation like sending welcome emails, notifications, email subscription, etc. Arengu helps you building all of this without development overhead so you can focus on your core app.

- To scale user acquisition campaigns. Sometimes marketing teams need to create loads of landing pages with a sign-up form and they ask dev team for help. Arengu allows them to reuse that form in as many landing pages as they want with just a line of code without dealing with technical complexity.

Our short-term plan includes

- Adding a landing page module to easily create static pages based on a HTML template with editable content (HTML, text or images).

- Support main social login providers (Facebook, Google, etc).

- Adding workspaces to organize your account.

- Support styles on form editor.

I'd love to know what you think about the product, if there is something you don't understand, if you are missing some features, etc. Any feedback or comments will be really appreciated as this is very important for us to keep improving and offering the best experience for our users.

Also I am available to schedule free 1:1 meeting to help building sign-up flows with Arengu, you can email me to jacobo.vidal[at]arengu.com

Thank you very much for your time reading this!

I have a theory that I've made up for being not particularly quick by just throwing time and effort at the problem.

Get the book on your phone, and just read it every now and again and if it doesn't make sense, try to use it as a detailed study plan e.g. Many compiler textbooks emphasize the importance of instruction scheduling without necessarily teaching it very well, but now you know that you need to understand instruction scheduling from somewhere.
