I would just like to point out that suicide hotlines can and do call the cops on you if they think you are capable of suicide. If you enjoy bodily autonomy, do not call them.

Quite kind of you to offer personal help. I understand you must like participating in the "attention economy" and you should understand that term considering you read The Atlantic. But I'd like to know: what experience do you have with depression and suicide?
Out of curiosity, what lead you to close your account? I only switched to them fairly recently and I've genuinely been very, very pleased with their service.
Only around 57% of people in China use Internet and we do not use email as often as WeChat. Usually, the lost is more likely to be picked up by cleaners and most cleaners do not know how to send an email. In my humble opinion, the wallets which used in research were more like trash:）. What's more, when you find a lost, you can hand over to community or police. When you lost something, you need to connect lost-and-found office of community or police station by yourself.
I have been using fastmail with 2FA on the Android app for months now. I haven't had any problems.
It is a question of personal autonomy and choice. That it isn't theirs to decide is the essential part not how "important" it is. Besides you can never trust mere claims of importance without any justification as an argument.
No. It's also not fair to raise taxes (on rich and middle class) to pay college for poor kids.

It is fine to have certain amount of transfer from the rich and middle class to the poor to pay for basic things, but pay for college should not be part of it. College is not crucial for living a good life.

I would agree with proposal to support pay for vocational / professional training. But college? No.
That's a hell of an assumption to make
Any time there's a proposal like this, it's disappointing to see the conversation gravitate towards tit-for-tat zero-sum appeals to fairness, instead of asking: how can we spend money in ways that will create wealth and other less tangible benefits for society? Making education accessible to everyone is one of the best things we can do.
Yes it is. Backdoors are guaranteed.
Assuming FastMail’s revenue is $10MM and the rebranding marketing work cost $250k, and lasts three years, you could see a 4c/mo savings on an individual account. You’re probably better off hoping they can use their brand to achieve greater economies of scale to keep more substantial costs down.
I think it’s too expensive given its marginal cost, and I think it’s because they have no competition. (No, end-to-end encrypted services like Tutanota are not competition because I can’t use IMAP.)
Additionally, we rarely use mails to contact, we would like to use wechat or phone. We usually handle the things we found to the police office near by.
Ask HN: What is the best way to promote your startup?
I think that customers/users are the key for making a successful startup. But firstly, you have to provide a way to let them reach you and figure about it.

What kind of promotion methods do you use to promote your newly released web apps?

What are the solutions, tricks, and methods you are using to generate a high traffic to your startup?
Yes, Sandy will sell that information and use it to provide targeted advertising. EG if you have worms, she will announce ads and discounts for anti-worm medication.

We call it Sandy with special offers. If you'd like to pay extra you can get a special-offer-free experience. If you don't like the idea of any data collection you can just buy a cat litter box and have your own Sandy (without the added features).

Don't see how this is an issue.

I disagree so very much!

Default rates on student loans are about %40. Home mortgages are about 4% and auto loans are about 6%, for comparison.

I've lived this too. My family was able to send me and my siblings to college on our own dimes. We worked our butts off to help the family pay for our schooling. I spent many hours after school in the family business, and many summers too. I had less of a teenage/childhood due to this. I contributed my income after graduation so my siblings could get through without debt too. I sacrificed my time and money for the betterment of my family. My family did the same for me.

Hopefully, I have proven that I have sacrificed enough to be considered a real voice in this conversation.

I would LOVE to cancel all these debts.

I've seen my friends and other family members struggle with these $800/mo debts for nearly a decade now. It does nothing for nobody but some rich jerk. I'm tired of seeing the people that I love struggle and be punished for trying to help the world. Yes, fine, I'm better off because of my sacrifice and my family's. And yes, fine, wiping out that debt would 'invalidate' that sacrifice, whatever that means. But I'd much rather sit on my porch my friends and drink a beer, rather than sit alone on my porch and drink 2 beers while my friends drive for Uber on the weekends.

Enough is enough. This pain is unnecessary and thus is cruel.
"You can rely on Fastmail for service and support, and trust that your personal information is protected."

Not if I get into a dragnet by Australian security services.

Wanted to get away from Gmail. Evaluated Fastmail, Protonmail, Mailbox.org and Posteo. Posteo went out because it doesn't do custom domains on principle, Protonmail went out because search is an issue with encrypted mails at rest. I'm not using Email for something that is illegal (journalism, opposition, ...) in my country, so encryption at rest has only minor impact on my decision. Fastmail looked nice with features but keeping my mail in the EU weighted more. Now that I no longer run a large website, I like the GDPR ;-)

In the end migrated to Mailbox.org on my own domain, went smoothly and I'm quite happy now.

Minor gripe: I wish Mailbox.org would understand IMAP is an API like every other API and provide unique API keys for applications (like GMail does).
Conservatism has consistently been on the wrong side of every social issue in history, so I feel safe calling this 'theory' out as nothing more than teenage angst at a world they feel has left them behind.
Infrastructure spending is worthwhile, but it still has "bridges to nowhere". Similarly, education is worthwhile, but it also has "degrees to nowhere". Not all degrees for all people are worth their cost.
If the researchers considered the special situation in Japan, why didn't they reflect the situation in China as well? I doubt the different rates of usage of e-mail are ignored deliberately.Anyway, Science shouldn't publish such a reseach which isn't objective enough.
1. Contact info only limits to the email, which is of little use in China.
2. Returning the wallet is equalled to Civil honest by the author arbitrarily.
3. Passively returning the wallet is the way how Chinese perform honesty. They wait for the owner coming to them, instead of searching for the owner themselves.
4. If knowing little about China, stop using the unfair data judging China.
5. So-called Science is nothing but discrimination in this article.
That's what it always means in the lower 48, though notably in Alaska there are some communities that are true dry, in that they outlaw simple possession as well. In Alaska, they use the term "damp" to describe places where you can own but not buy alcohol and "dry" to describe places where ownership and sale are both prohibited.
I don't know but how does complaining that it takes a microsecond to encode 256 random numbers lead to the conclusion that remote KV caches are unworkable? That's just a non sequitur.
The belief in blame the victim of suicide and instead of what's encompassing the victim is going to die out in the next generations. Faith is dying and along with it comes analytical people that observe their life rationally to what the previous generations experienced.

> Its sort of amazing that anyone can still openly advocate that raising taxes on the rich "only ends up hurting middle class" or for "no minimum wage" slavery, without getting the shit kicked out of them.

Luckily we still live in a civil society where most people understand violence isn't an acceptable response to political disagreement.

They should probably know that citizens in China hardly use email to contact the possessioner...Also, lost stuff is generally turned in in the lost and found boxes or police stations in the vicinity.
It is just me or is the research a well designed political reference which is aimed at enhancing certain unfair stereotypes?
If the latter is the answer, those who took on the research should NEVER claim themselves as scientists. Shame on them.
I assure you tax treatment/subsidies are not what make my business possible. The retail prices (comps) for the neighborhood the product exists in, drives profits. Yes a house is just a product (other than my own home)

The system we have is not fine. Tuition has no downward price pressure and is rising way too fast.

I bought my house in Austin 4 years ago.

I was looking toward to the low end of the market around the 140K to 150K price point. I found that I kept getting outbid by the investors. They would come in and offer a cash deal and a closing in 7 days. I just couldn't compete with a 30 day closing and a financing contingency.

I ended up having to up my range to 200K. Once I did that I wasn't competing with the investors. Which over 30 years I guess spending the extra 50K isn't that big of a deal. I still ended up buying below my means. However I know several who that would price them out of the market.
Microsoft Research has published several papers on the topic of formal verification of network configurations.

In my experience, most people don't even care about their own future, i.e. retirement and such, and instead buy cars and other stuff that they can't afford, because short term satisfaction is more compelling than long term one.

So while I agree with you that I care about ny children and grand-children, I don't see this as being a mainstream thought.

First time that I read about this scary Australian backdoor stuff. As a (very happy) client of Fastmail, I regret to have to look for other options.

Are Australian legislators really that clueless? There seems to be a very strong incentive against making business with Australian companies.

The Google Shopping case was really nuanced. Google argued (with data) that they took actions in the best interests of the public, both individually and collectively.

The other side didn't contest that, but instead argued that those actions were not in the best interests of those spammy comparison shopping websites. (you know the ones which always advertise what you're looking for for a really low price, and when you go there they redirect you through about 30 banner ads before finally telling you they couldn't find the price they advertised earlier unless you get 30 friends to sign up to 10 credit cards each, but here it is anyway for double the price on amazon).

While there are lots of things Google was doing wrong, not promoting those scummy sites was 100% in the public's best interests...
There is section 1031, which allows the deferral of gains for years or decades if the investor purchases a qualifying replacement property.

I "hustled" like you said. I have no debt and better paying job than my partner, who has a masters degree in education and is a primary school teacher. As we're starting a family, we are considering that our savings will pay that debt.

This is a good proposal for everyone overall, even if you don't think it impacts you personally since you don't have a student loan yourself.

Firstly, in China, although most people learn English during their education, but they can’t really speak/understand English.
Secondly, we have loads of lost and found offices, why in the published paper, the authors can understand the similar culture in Japan, but cannot understand the culture in China?
Finally, we don’t contact each other by email, cause we have WeChat, which is much more conscience than email.

Yep, and plenty of people don't realize seller reviews != product reviews. You shouldn't complain about shipping times in a product review or talk about how much you disliked the plot of a book is in a seller review, but it happens all the time. Many people don't even realize you can rate a seller for shipping time, description accuracy, and responsiveness, so a legit seller might have a lot of happy customers but not much to show for it while a counterfeit seller has a boatload of paid reviews.

In re: "check your assumptions"

I once got to listen to a brief lecture by a genuine 10x programmer. The title was something like, "Why I'm 10x better programmer than you." and believe me, we were all eager to hear what he said because we knew he was freakishly better than us. (I mention that because some people, reading that title, might get the wrong idea. Dude is cool, title was tongue-in-cheek, it's all good.)

Anyhow, the main take away was this:

"Always have 100% confidence that you know exactly what the code is doing."

If anything ever happens to indicate to you this is not the case (that you know exactly what the code is doing) stop immediately and do whatever is necessary to re-establish that condition (of knowing exactly what the code is doing.)

And let me be clear, he meant down to the machine code.
Encoding an image as a repeated sequence of variable-length integers would obviously be a poor choice.
I still miss Ingress, even if it was just a way to help Google map walkable paths.

Every once in awhile I daydream about how to make an AR game that isn't trivially spoofable with GPS hackery, and that rewards more social interaction, even if it's not face-to-face. Only thing I've come up with is placing physical objects you have to scan, that work like 2FA tokens that display changing codes. Maybe even changing QR codes. With e-ink displays, it might even be plausible to have them be battery-powered and long lasting.
So true, these clowns made the rules we currently abide by. College being a requirement for middle management positions etc. Only those with a stable upbringing (not the majority) have the options to play by those rules, now they want to change them to bail out the upper middle class?
Yeah, my girlfriend has told me so many stories of the men she dated from Tinder. And of the men she spent time with in the singles' club we met in. And frankly it's understandable that those men are single because most of the stories were of them either not actually attempting to connect with her as a human being, or they were stories of them outwardly objectifying her before even introducing themselves, or they were stories of crippling social anxiety. And as a rule none of them gave any indication they were aware of these things as problems that could be worked on or solved. So it doesn't surprise me there are a bunch of single men out there desperate for attention from women, because there appear to be a bunch of single men out there who are totally unable to take responsibility for or to fix their own problems.
The major difference is that ICANN got paid a large sum for both .photo and .photos, while .com is a legacy gTLD and .co is a ccTLD.
What ABOUT you? Is your objection that something good is happening to someone suffering under student loan debt? What is the disconnect? "I suffered so they should suffer, too" is not a meaningful objection. Freedom that only affects some and doesn't somehow compensate people who are already free is still freedom.

Moreover the insinuation that the only people in student loan debt are irresponsible is nonsense.

It doesn't make right everyone who lost lifetime income to student loans. It doesn't bring people to life who died in car accidents, and it doesn't give me money back that I spent on a comparatively slow computer 10 years ago. It's still good.
Maybe that system was low quality and blocked valid transactions?

if you run a "home cloud" on a raspberry pi 2/3/4 or an orange pic or something else entirely and it fails, will your "cloud" go down with the hardware?

If does go down then it's not cloud, no matter what hardware you're using.

In general, my rule of thumb is: what's the upper limit, the capacity or your wallet?

If the limit is the capacity, then it's HA.

If the limit is your wallet, then it's cloud.
I'm a Bernie supporter and I agree. Make free college available to anyone and provide a path to discharge overly burdensome student debt via bankruptcy, but forgiving everything is a waste of resources and political capital. Though, I have to say, one of the things I like about Bernie is he doesn't start with half measures. He starts with the ideal vision, which is probably necessary to even get close to something reasonable in the end. If you start with a compromise position, you end up with a compromised compromise like ObamaCare.
Seems to run contrary to the concept of human memory being supremely unreliable, and that our subconscious has a tendency - beyond the feeling everyone's familiar with of memories being "vague" and "difficult to remember" - to actually edit and reshape the concrete details from the way they actually happened. Obviously, given a certain context, this can result in terrible consequences. I remember this being discussed at length in the book "Subliminal: How Your Unconscious Mind Rules Your Behavior"[1] w/r/t eyewitness testimony of criminal acts, but perhaps in some cases, our distorted perception of reality may be a important mechanism to our own self-esteem, provided that it doesn't go too far.

Huh? I'm not allowed to hope for future improvements?

I'm very happy for RPi4 SD improvements. Until now, RPi has had same lacking ~20 MB/s SD performance from the start. AFAIK, this is the first time ever there's been any hardware improvement in this regard.

I've had a microsdxc card with 90 MB/s reads and 80 MB/s writes since early 2014. Some current cards can read & write more than 250 MB/s, so
there's still room for improvement.

As 95-99% of all RPis boot from (micro) SD and use it as primary storage, I'd say SD performance is a rather fundamental (often ignored) aspect of RPi performance.
But it is not the same product, because it is not run by the same person. That matters.

That says more about Apple's current priorities than anything else. Sure, Linux is more mature, but if Apple were to release serverOS for specific types of workloads that are needed, you can bet any bugs that would interfere significantly would be prioritized up.
Vacating existing debt it wrong headed and relies on ignorance to even be considered. Politicians know the idea of paying off college debt sounds good and that is all they want you to do, think it sounds good instead of thinking about what it really means.

Not only is this welfare to the upper middle and upper classes it is the big wealth transfer to colleges. Colleges who have no reason to keep costs down. Plus they also have the benefit not having to steer people to viable careers and can instead sell them on many cost increasing courses which are more padding for the college bottom line.

If the politicians were serious about education they would lock colleges into rates set by government for any education guaranteed part or in full by government. People fall all over themselves demanding that the medical costs be regulated, where are the screams for colleges to do the same when it comes to costs.

Simply put. A degree cost X dollars. Each course credit is Y. The college that wants their students to receive loans or partial to full payment must offer degrees and courses conforming to the cost the government assigns to that degree. The college must make a good faith effort to see the student graduates with the degree or pay a penalty.

They would fall over themselves to comply
