In the era of the A3000 and A3000T, so 1990 or 91, there was an official Commodore port of Unix that had got really good reviews as one of the best, most stable small system SVR4 ports.

Sun approached Commodore offering money to license the A3000UX as a low end 680x0 Sun workstation. It could have done wonders for Amiga's serious market and visibility outside games.

Medhi Ali turned them down. Twice, if memory serves.
Reminds me of the time terrorists were shooting up Mumbai. A "brave" TV news channel gave live coverage. Intelligence agencies found out that the live coverage was being used by handlers to give specific instructions to the attackers.
Re: demo / screenshots, I totally get this. Honestly the landing page hasn't been a huge concern, but I'll take your feedback that you actually want to see the feedback first; we'll make changes.

The Chrome Extension unfortunately doesn't do a deeper integration -- we're looking into how to make this happen! You're absolutely right that a personal CRM needs to be a single source of truth -- the hard part is getting data in the actual product!

Yes, but compared to an effective tax rate of 2X.XX%, most Americans do not pay 40% of their gross income to health care, and they like it that way.

Everyone wants affordable healthcare in America, the question is a matter of where Americans spend on line items, but the debates in America revolve mostly around ideological concepts and not budget concerns directly.
Am I missing something, or does this render “Ships and Sold by Amazon” useless as a heuristic for receiving an authentic product since sellers who opt into the program also receive the label?

How about running a background service to synchronize a local folder of content with a remote server? Making sure the background service is launched correctly upon startup? Integrating with the OS's native sharing features with other apps? And so on.

In my experience, using a "cross-platform" framework means that you'll write the code not once, but three times: once for the cross-platform framework, and once per platform (Android / iOS) given all the quirks and unavoidable customizations that will need to be made to make your app function correctly.

The Government of India has applied unnecessary force in trying to remove dissent, prevented lawful assembly and removed the right to be able to exercise their constitutional guarantees including the right to vote (the recent election was postponed, the legislative assembly was dissolved and governer's rule has been applied).

This provision was guaranteed by the constitution and the government should have called for the people's opinion either through a vote, or through their elected representatives. Instead what we see is a shadow of facism in the country - elected representatives are jailed, curfew is imposed and the rights of the state enshrined in the constitution is removed.

What next for India - new laws to call anyone a "terrorist" without due process (happening now), presidential style election and a change to the constitution to elect our "Dear Leader" for perpetuity.
Then, my friend, I'd argue it isn't as easy as you think. Maybe it's easy because you're not stressed out. If it was easy for the people who are sleep deprived, they'd probably sleep more.

There are plenty of Mastodon instances revolving around almost any topic out there to join.

Having a successful social space does not necessitate, and I'd argue precludes, having a universal audience of everyone.

Also, you are currently on what would qualify as a social network, and between HN, Mastodon, and choice tech subreddits like I find myself well inundated with social forums to talk about stuff on. Thats even precluding how Github and Gitlab have turned into faux social networks around projects, how IRC and Matrix exist as real time chat options, etc.
Definitely old videos. At least most of them. Also the account sharing the video is a high ranking police office. Not sure why an Indian police officer is a reputable source in this situation but NYT, BCC, HuffPost, AJE, BusinessInsider, etc are not.
I think the main reason is that Amazon won’t buy their items at a reasonable price due to what I can only call “price corruption”.

Basically, third party sellers find a way to get a wholesale discount and then sell it through Amazon for a bit more. So the price on Amazon is artificially low. Say you have a $10 item. Maybe your wholesale price is $5. The third party seller puts it on Amazon for $7. Amazon sees this. Now Amazon only agrees to pay you $4, because to them the $10 price is irrelevant. $4 is too low, so you don’t accept and Amazon doesn’t buy from you.

Now, you can sell yourself on Amazon, but then existing retail partners get mad because suddenly you are selling the item for $5 to compete with the arbitragers. I’ve even found some relatively large retailers selling on Amazon under dummy companies to hide their name, but still be able to profit off their high wholesale discount.

Things are changing. But it can be a slow and painful process for small manufacturers.
Some of the comments, just like PRE-SAFE SOUND, sound like an April Fool's Joke. But, apparently, it isn't. Very interesting, indeed. I never would have thought, that something like this might be an issue.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. C++'s famed backwards compatibility, source of so many issues, is also a fabulous strength. There's nothing stopping one from writing C++03, while gradually adapting C++11 and beyond as time/circumstances permit (which is what I'm doing at my job, maintaining a massive legacy codebase while stymied by slow uptake on newer compilers by my corporate overlords...)

Am here to appreciate Dr Aba for using his herbal medicine to cure my Herpes virus. since 3 years now I have been living with this virus and it has been giving me challenges, I was so perplexed cause i have been taking several drugs to be cured but all of my effort was in vain,one morning i was browsing through the internet then i saw several testimonies about Dr. Aba curing people from Herpes virus and immediately i contacted Dr. Aba on his email: dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com, i told him about my troubles and he told me that i must be cured, gave me some instructions and which i rightly followed. so he prepared a herbal medicine for me and sent it to me which i used for 2 weeks and everything was like a dream to me and my Herpes virus was totally gone, why don't you contact him today and be free from your diseases because he is very good and honest Doctor. contact him via email; dr.abaherbalhome@gmail.com or whatsApp him on +2348107155060

I think a personal CRM should include knowledge of Dunbar's number.[0][1]

Like,

"You are spending too much time with C people. Is C person Andrew now a B? B people like Joe and Jane need more attention."

"You could use another A relationship. The following B people might be good candidates based on your contact frequency."

This is mostly tongue-in-cheek, but it is often true that people don't attend to relationships with apprppriate priority. And, knowing your situation with regard to various relationship levels provides insight for growth.

C'mon, stop bringing Pakistan into this. India has mismanaged Kashmir so badly that the majority of the population wants to leave India -- and not to join Pakistan, mind you, but to be independent.
> The New Deal allowed labor to capture the majority of surplus value created by the rapid wartime industrialization of America

That's certainly how such policies were sold to the labor force, yes. But it's not what actually happened.

> We would not have our modern understanding of a middle class lifestyle had it not been for New Deal policy

To the extent that this is true, it means that our modern understanding of a middle class lifestyle is not what "middle class" meant at any previous time in human history. "Middle class" used to mean entrepreneurs--what today we would call small business owners. In other words, people who understood that the only way to make sure of the lifestyle they wanted was to manage their own business risks and not entrust them to anybody else.

Our modern understanding of "middle class" is what used to be called "wage slaves"--people who are content to let the leaders of the large organizations they work for take care of all the business risks, in exchange for a safe source of steady wages and benefits. But the leaders of the large corporations, unlike the "middle class" who worked for them, always understood that the steady wages and benefits were not "safe"--that as soon as the business realities changed (i.e., as soon as the huge new markets that opened up after WW II became saturated, which was happening by the mid-1960s to early 1970s), the large corporations would basically renege on all the promises they made to the labor force during the boom. Which is exactly what happened, and which amounted to whatever surplus value was in fact captured by labor being temporary. And the New Deal did absolutely nothing to prevent it.
How about the part where in 1986 75% of preprofessional admits, government jobs, etc were going to the minority community? Isn’t that a failure of government at some level? Do you expect that to persist in a democracy or that India should defend that setup? None of this is to be construed as an attack on KPs.
Appreciate this feedback -- I recognize Dex is underwhelming for you and we''re working to fix that. We actually do have an experimental feature for Facebook import (it does take a few steps), but I don't think we come close to the automation you're looking for unfortunately (we're trying to get closer!)

I think the end goal of a product we're looking to build might not be too far off from what you're looking for, and I appreciate your comments on what you want. (it's always nice when someone directly lists features they are looking for). I'll make a note to follow-up when Dex is a better solution for you!
To that I say having diversity of connectivity physically (diverse fiber paths) and logically (BGP) is probably the best defense. I concede your point of the risk. However I don’t think we should cower in fear of such a thing - we should use this as inspiration to build a robust infrastructure.

All of this is moot if you are getting raped between two bigger powers who don’t care about you - that is a Layer 8 issue.
My only experience with Photoshop is through memes; is Content Aware Fill the same as Content Aware Scaling? I thought the former tried to guess what was "behind" something you removed, while the latter just moves the existing pixels around by guessing which ones need to stay together when you resize something.

> As a more practical problem, I have also seen suggestions that it's possible to turn on the camera, take a photo, and turn it back off again too quick for the LED to be noticable, and if you do that several times per second you could capture low-frame-rate video without the green light, so even a hardware solution might not be perfectly secure.

It's trivial to add a capacitor or hardware timer to illuminate indication light for some time after the camera loses power.

We have so many satellites up there that can stream photos of specific locations.

It's perfectly ok. There is no harm here. We do not need morality police for a voluntary business deal where you have complete freedom and choice to purchase a product.
Let's see, a challenge!

Just kidding, I don't view the world that way. But I will highlight that, historically, it's been common to have various degrees of autonomy across nation states. Even today, Californians are consistently choosing less autonomy than other U.S. states.

But I digress. Another digression might involve suggesting undemocratic things are not implicitly bad, even if the rule of democracy is better. Putting down rebellions, for example. Or increasing police presence in high crime areas where criminals, or those scared of them, wouldn't vote for it.

But more to the core of the point, I'm not sure it's helpful to proliferate the perspective that variation in autonomy (or standard of living or what have you) is primarily a consequence of group identity without extraordinarily convincing reasons to believe so. Doing so opens the door to suggesting that that ought to be how it is, if the Other is, in your your view, trying to reduce your autonomy. An example where this might be justified is the literal concentration camps that the Chinese continue to impose on their religious and ethnic minorities.

The American culture is starting to see everything through group identity colored goggles, and that spells complete destruction for the country and our ability to reason about diplomacy.

I don't think [2] sounds like a reliable source. It presents a "hole" as a binary thing, which didn't extend to Australia. But even over Antarctica, it was a level of depletion, not literally a hole. There may be a point to be made about the numbers, but the whole article seems to be predicated on the assumption that either there is a hole or there isn't without defining it.

They accomplish different things. Fourier decompositions break signals down into a frequency based representation, whereas wavelet decomposition yields a sort of hybrid frequency/temporal representation. Wavelets have their uses, but I don't know that anyone studying them thought they would replace Fourier decompositions.

One of my favourite CD-sets I'd ever bought back in the day was the complete Rachmaninoff recordings. He's an amazing composer and great performer, but I'd shy away from saying any recording of his works is the "real one". The man was obsessed with paper and sheet music, which is a medium and art form in and of itself. The way what you've written gets picked up by others is just as real, and the performer's decisions are part of what draws a lot of people to this music.

Don't like to see overpopulation being conflated with immigration again, because...

Overpopulation is obviously a problem; immigration maybe or maybe not (case-by-case each country decides).

Overpopulation is from people being born; not from people crossing borders. No humans are created or destroyed in the act of emigration or immigration.

Overpopulation, nobody wants to talk about; immigration, everybody wants to talk about.

Given what you just wrote in your top-level comment, that's an odd take. You wrote, "it's yet another example of why none of us should rely on the internet as our sole means of doing anything".

if the leader of a society is driving that society toward a Internet-based, cashless system, it doesn't much matter what you as an individual want to do, it's a matter of what the people around you can accept.

Ergo, based on your statement above, Modi's drive toward a electronic, cashless monetary system is a bad idea.

(as a personal aside, it's pretty clear now why someone with authoritarian tendencies would like a centralized, electronic payment system. it makes control of a population much easier.)
Like any big, multi city real estate broker, the benefit of scale is diversification over local real estate markets, and less risk.

A single WeWork in one city is risky due to fluctuations in real estate, economics, labor supply, competition, etc. a thousand locations are less risky, since the company can still exist even if a local market tanks for a year.
