meh, i think the timescale doesn't work out for this to be the case for sneakers.

the only sorts of sneakers i can think of that are sought after where a huge portion of them have disintegrating soles are like 1985 original Jordan 1s and to a much lesser extent some of the original pairs of the next few models (2s, 3s, 4s)

there is definitely big importance placed on condition in the collector community, but for the vast majority of it comes down to whether the shoe was worn at all, not whether it's literally crumbling into pieces from age.

now that the market for this stuff is so huge, maybe another 10-15 years down the line you'll be spot on though.
Ask HN: Where to Find Customers?
I have an LLC, some would say a startup but I don't name it that way because I do not have ideas, I just do work. Mostly IT infrastructure, networking, scripting (for bigger customers), website design & SEO (for small customers). I'm oriented at small customers because work is not complicated, I can solve their problems without having to search for subcontractors AND it's a nice feeling to help small businesses.

Currently I have a few happy customers but there's room for more. I lack 'networking skills' and nor I'm too good with interpersonal relations so this prevents me from pinching, doing sales like a salesguy or going out for coffees with people.

Tried Freelancer, it's good but you have to be connected a lot of time to build trust.
Don't you think the use of the phrase "ethnically cleanse" for what amounts to deportation (regardless of the legality or morality of said deportation) is a little over the top?

I'm not condoning anything that the current administration is doing but using language that equates deporting people with genocide is dishonest, to put it charitably.
I see you're trying to gaslight, but it's not working. Most per-state polls from the swing states said he was going to lose, as well (which was strange for a candidate who was routinely drawing 50K person crowds in those same states).

That’s a very useful distinction, that brings me to a question: are we sure that automating ranking in 2019, on the basis of publicly scrutinized algorithms, would bring us back to a pre-Google accuracy? Also, ranking on the basis of the sole query instead of the individual, would lead to much more neutral results.
In that sense, is it actually being used as an adjective proper? This is amusing. I would’ve assumed it was just an accident, but it would be more amusing if it was both accidental and “sort of” grammatically correct.
"1. There's something about intelligence agencies - maybe the familiar comfort of a three-letter acronym on the wall, maybe the late-night spanking parties - that draws fraternity boys like ants to a picnic, and right now the road to bro advancement leads through an Arabic classroom. Their complete lack of a sense of irony allows these students to combine sincere appreciation for The Fountainhead with a desire for a lifelong career in government service, and the hardest part of studying Arabic is having to listen to their asinine opinions after they have gained enough proficiency to try to express them."

Is there a term like "Brook" is to "Spook" like "Brogrammer" is to "Programmer"?
> The Feminine Plural

> Formal Arabic distinguishes between groups composed entirely of women and groups that contain one or more men, and has distinct pronouns, plural forms, and verb conjugations for feminine dual and feminine plural.

> This gives Arabic a total of twelve personal pronouns. No other language will make you work as hard to avoid speaking formally to pairs of women.

All Romance languages I know (French, Spanish, Portuguese) work like that. For example in Portuguese: "They play football." is "Elas jogam futebol." if it's about the women's national soccer team but "Eles jogam futebol." if it's an all male or mixed team.
I honestly have no idea of what I can say and what I can't say.

I think it's reasonable to think that I can share that nobody bought my shares. I can't talk for any other employee or anybody else.
I am slightly salty about this because I had complained about the same effect on reddit with the red inbox — I disabled my own inbox years ago — but nobody really cared.

It’s a more general case of advertising pollution. Just as it benefits advertisers to make viewers uncomfortable and manipulate their attention, Reddit and Twitter (and Facebook!) systematically display messages that make users uncomfortable to get their attention, stimulate emotional vulnerability, and create opportunities for marketers to step in with a palliative, “shopping therapy”.
It would be constitutional to literally mandate slavery. Section 1 of the 13th Amendment [1]:

Many companies have policies of intentionally excluding contractors because of some legal issues Microsoft ran into with their contractors. It’s unfortunate, but some contractors had sued, so the companies now enforce a differentiation which somehow protects the companies legally. I’m sure a lawyer can chime in on those policies.
> "Collective punishment" applied to a corporation is called a boycott

I think that's not the usual meaning of 'collective punishment'. I believe that term is usually applied when many people are subjected to punishment in retaliation for the deeds of one person (or of only a few), not when one person (or corporation) is subjected to punishment by many people.

> My dream is a 43" 4k monitor with no scaling.

I had the exact same dream, which is why I bought a 4K 43" monitor. Then I found out that it was so big I had to sit further away, forcing me to scale some things up so they are readable again, though not everything (DE settings are still at 100%, but e.g. code font is at ~120% and HN is at 150%).

That said, I'm very happy with my purchase. The only thing I would probably change is to get a different model (sadly, it was the only available 43" 4K 60fps model in my country at the time of purchase).
It might be just me but wow, it's really hard to read multiple tweets as a timeline since I don't know where to start and where to end.
Good stuff, thanks!
Well, there is no “p” in Arabic, so it makes sense that native Arab speakers would struggle with it initially. The same applies to “v”.

The Iranian IP is important because it means its unlikely that we'll ever get any data from the server. If it was in the US or EU, its much more likely we could subpoena it and figure out more about whats going on.

I read the article a few times and I don't think there is any anti-Iran sentiment in it at all.
Interesting perspective for sure, and I think I can agree that people seem to get incredibly invested in some of these studies and subsequently defend them, as you described, with a religious fervor.

My bigger issue with the parent comment was more aimed at the matter-of-fact "it's the elites" statement, which I have little patience for. Using a conspiracy to justify your thoughts that something else is a conspiracy is a bit circular.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply!
Yes. A few sentences after your quote [1]:

> Many scholars now use the term chattel slavery to refer to this specific sense of legalised, de jure slavery. In a broader sense, however, the word slavery may also refer to any situation in which an individual is de facto forced to work against their own will.

Of the kids who take that approach, some huge fraction will not invent the future. ("The future wasn't artisanal baskets with rap lyrics enscribed? Who knew?")

The fact that some apps get it wrong isn't a great justification for making all the other well-behaved apps look worse. Just add an option to scale specific apps in the window manager (faking the screen resolution, DPI, etc.) and let everything else run at full resolution.
It should, but if anyone knows who these kingmakers are, it's still probably just a matter of time before they accrue enough power for it to be worth someone's time to at least try to track them down and manipulate their decisions (bribe, blackmail, sponsor, send free trials, target with marketing/propaganda campaigns, etc.)
There are professional engineers (PE) in the US as well. But the software engineering one has been discontinued because basically no one got it. You can get PEs in other fields of engineering. How common it is probably depends on the field and on the type of job. (Basically, you get a PE so that you can sign off on designs where regulators or other government agencies are involved--or want an official credential for e.g. being an expert witness/consultant.)

No political views of Einstein are even mentioned, they're kinda besides the point here. Even if they weren't, many things Einstein said or wrote aren't considered insightful because he was "good at being a physicist", but because they are valuable and insightful in their own right, and often beautifully put.

There should be some kind of Godwin's law for mentioning Einstein, and the "just because he was a good physicist doesn't mean the thing I'm not actually going to address is correct" stuff showing up.
Now you're being disingenuous or just flat-out lying. The title and headline of the story is literally "It’s the middle of the night. Do you know who your iPhone is talking to? -
Apple says, 'What happens on your iPhone stays on your iPhone.' Our privacy experiment showed 5,400 hidden app trackers guzzled our data — in a single week."

> It all stems from a year-long lawsuit initiated by the estate of Dave Kleiman, a computer scientist who, according to the complaint, helped Wright “invent” Bitcoin under the pseudonym Satoshi Nakamoto. The lawsuit claims that when Kleiman died in April 2013, Wright engaged in a scheme to deny Kleiman of 1.1 million bitcoin that the former business partners jointly owned.

This is comedy gold. A letter purportedly signed by Kleiman references a bizarre trust scheme involving a million bitcoin:

https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2644014/Tulip-Tru...

The judge's request is apparently based at least in part on this letter.

The letter references a "Key with ID C941FE6D," a PGP key Wright used to fabricate evidence of being Satoshi.

https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/jpgq3y/satoshis-pgp-keys-...

As such, the letter seems fake as a $3 bill. Hilariously, the Kleiman family seems to consider it real. It's now being used to force Wright into proving he controls the corresponding private keys.

We've been here before back when Wright said he'd provide cryptographic proof of being Satoshi and furnished instead technobabble, mind games and deceit.

Instead of fleecing some technically illiterate folks out of cash, the consequences here for deceit are legal sanctions against Wright to varying degrees.

What goes around.

Hebrew, at least as far as instances of Hebrew writing, is _much_ older than Arabic. There are 3,000 year old Hebrew Inscriptions ( see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zayit_Stone ). The Zayit stone was found 31 miles south west of Jerusalem and its dated as 10th century BCE.

In the course of attempting to fraudulently claim asylum in the US ("fleeing poverty" is not a valid reason for asylum under international treaties, and even if they had a valid reason such as political persecution they already had a Mexican humanitarian visa and therefore had no need to seek asylum in the US), parents try to swim a 1-year old across a huge river, killing her and one of themselves in the process. It does put attention on immigration.

What exactly is the US supposed to do? If they don't "meter" the asylum processing facilities, the facilities will become overcrowded and be dubbed "concentration camps". If they do meter them, they "cause" people to do deadly things with their children in tow, according to people quoted in this article.

Most cases of unintended acceleration, in all brands of cars, are due to the foot coming down on the wrong pedal. And then in a panic, your brain refuses to acknowledge the error and doubles down. Your memory gets based on what your brain thought, and not what actually happened.

US government estimates are that this happens an average of around 16k times per year in the USA. The press release that Wikipedia cites for that has disappeared but you can find it on the wayback machine: https://web.archive.org/web/20180423205652/https://www.nhtsa...

Toyota's acknowledged problem was a floor mat that could get jammed and cause the accelerator to stick. However most of their cases of unintended acceleration were still likely to be human error.

Currently the only way out of a function is via the `return` keyword, or, exceptionally, panic. Those are easy to spot and easy to understand. With try, especially if it's nested in a complex statement e.g.

fmt.Fprintf(os.Stdout, "%s: %d\n", try(getID()), try(getCount()))

a function may return in surprising places.

Apple was selling these in store until not long ago. Should cover that use case (4 HD screens) fine, but the pixel density is terrible for using at scaled 4K.
The only way to kill advertising is to have perfectly efficient markets.

Until then, you're going to have demand for ferrying information between sellers and buyers, and vice versa, because of information asymmetry. You may disagree with some of the mediums currently used, finding them annoying, but advertising is always evolving to solve this problem, as is evident in the last three decades.
The absence of the mention of a warning in this context implies that there wasn’t one.

Why? Many of these summaries aren't official justifications of the fine, they're news clippings. What leads you to believe that if a warning was issued, the news would always mention it? They're not trying to justify the fine, they're trying to inform the public, and they can never include every detail, they always have to leave stuff out. What leads you to believe the news always mentions warnings if issued?

I don’t understand why anyone, even those in favor of GDPR, would attempt to refute the black and white text of the law.

Literally no one in this thread has attempted that, and you incessantly repeating this strawman is why you're being repeatedly downvoted.
Successful software has been written in every mainstream language. That does not mean that these languages all have no room for improvement.

Code reviews can help. For me, all examples uses of try would be great with properly contextualized error messages ("could not open file" as opposed to "could not read file": it is two very different operations after all!)

At the same time we are surviving the type aliases quite fine (who has ever seen them used? Not me...)
Isn't it udp, because y'know, it doesn't confirm, while tcp does.
We have all that, it's called 'unbiased reviews' and 'Consumer Reports'.

Advertising is inherently about persuasion, not information.
I assume you mean glibc instead of Clang here.

Well, I think personally making it part of LLVM works to the community’s advantage. If Google is the sole owner and maintainer, external forces will have less impact, much to the detriment of the library quality (imo.) As a part of LLVM, there are many huge players with interest in improving the library and many maintainers externally.

Google and other big companies already contribute to LLVM, so I don’t think the status quo is changing at all.

The thing is, forming your own oppinion is _hard_ and you need a great deal of insight to reach some form of truth.

I, for example, if I lived a couple of hundred years back, would have probably believed the world is flat, since, well, it's the easiest oppinion to have by just looking around. The model we have now is incredibly sophisticated and not at all intuitive, we just think it is because we're used to it. Things that we are used to seem the most obvious and simple in the world.

We are limited with how much we can dig deep into stuff. So many times we have to reffer to other people that know what they are doing. I, sometimes, even reffer to myself at some different point in time. If I know at some time I looked deeply at some problem and reached a conclusion then, I will just take it for granted and not always retrace my thought process. It's a useful mental shortcut, but one that can leave me making oppinions on old or incomplete facts.
