It's easy to feel that way in, say, the U.S., where only hate groups are getting censored right now, and even that only by private companies. If you think about a country like China, where for example it's hard to find anything online saying a massacre at Tiananmen Square ever happened, then the purpose of these things becomes more obvious.

The time to set up uncensorable communications is before you're being censored. After, it's a lot harder to get traction.
Well, he was not educating his childrens.
Not sure about the law, but too me, it's serious misconduct.
To follow up on the previous reply, there are OpenVMS instances that have uptimes measured in decades. Not everyone needs this; in the past 20 years we've all learned how to distribute applications onto arrays of consumer PCs. But for some organizations and some applications, long uptimes are a BIG DEAL(tm).

Also... VMS makes sense in a way that Unix never did.
Welcome to 10 years ago, WSJ.
We've abandoned V3 because of the shift in focus. I wish they would have improved the native build service (I think it's called appflow now?) instead of going for 2 more frameworks and an IDE. Wish them all the luck with their new releases.

What we would have needed:
- Actually usable and maintained plugins. Getting something like push notifications to work is too difficult. And then the plugins won't even build on their build service. It's a lot of hair pulling but should really be low hanging fruit for the ionic team.
- Easier submission into the app stores, because onboarding new people on how to do all the manual steps for every legacy app we maintain updates for is a pain in the ass.
Congrats to Strapi team! So far joy to use, hope it will stay that way.
If you're watching any news source, and think it's not biased, you need to stop and figure out what their angle is, and why you're allowing them to fool you.

The easiest way to do this is usually listen to the other side.

I'll skeptically take self-admitted bias over subversive "neutral" any day.

The danger is limiting yourself only to sources of similar bias.
Amazon Spends Another $1M in Heated Seattle Elections
Considering the value I get from Meetup, I think that paying a $2 attendee fee is reasonable. I appreciate the services that meetup provides. This seems like a very fair deal.

Cannot relate to the people here who are screaming bloody murder over this. You have to give to get.

Interestingly housing is very expensive in the cities in Vietnam, on a relative basis.

A friend’s mother sold a 1000 sq ft home in Saigon for $250,000. New apartments are often $100k+.

Considering the average wage is $6,000 in Saigon, the housing is outrageous.

I've always been confused by TV shows showing kids leaving for school and it's bright outside with the whole family awake. Growing up, it was dark when we got up for school and just barely sun up (depending on the season still dark) by the time we left to get on the bus.
The console sucks because it's done by the individual back-end service teams who have no idea about UX or front-end coding, and don't coordinate with each other or any cross-service owners of the console.

U.S. Border Patrol has become a government-sanctioned ring of thugs living out a power fantasy. Nothing more. Disgusting.
I do, and most of them are gross (I’ve read a lot about what women deal with, and my women friends have told me as much). But I don’t know if the current solution is the best one. If I were a cynic I would say that Facebook does this intentionally because they want you to befriend someone to chat with them.
well, they tend to lock down things moreso than the US does (such as great firewall) at least currently, but I agree: it is mostly speculative as to what is there.

And China isn't going to downplay the speculation. Frankly, they want everyone to think they have the best, most thorough surveillance apparatus in the world. Even if it isn't stronger than what is done here, the perception is to their benefit.
Having a second degree is a big bonus when it comes to visas - you now see people doing a BSA/BA then immediately a MBA for this reason.

Including it in the distro means people will use it. Since it's unmaintained, that basically assures security vulnerabilities. Avoiding this situation is one of the main reasons people use distros.

Though I don't remember too much VMS, I know enough to remember what a god-send the Unix shells (and associated stdio tools) were compared to other command environments spawned (pardon the pun) by batch systems.

How could someone pay even $2 for a meetup they've never attended? How would they know that someone would even show up? Especially if the organizer is now only paying $2/month to keep it going.

And once someone has attended a meetup, they're exchanged contact info with the organizer and so there's reason they'd have to pay meetup to attend the event.
For regular bills, when adding a bill pay account online, the bank will ask for your account number... so there must be some way to specify that with an ACH transaction. I've noticed that the custom input memo field visible to the end user goes away on ACH transactions though, at least at my bank. Perhaps it's just used by the account number automatically?

For bills that don't accept ACH bill pay (i.e. most smaller companies and utilities), banks will often print and mail payments via check for free (it just says "signature on file" on the printed check). Like I said, decades behind.

> Fewer private schools, more public funding.

Those who send their children to private schools also pay taxes that pay for public schools. They just receive no education for their children from it (by choice). Pay the same in, take fewer resources out - that doesn't seem like a negative to me.
Why couldn't they call his bank and get them to contact this fellow?
Same with Venmo in the US. There is literally a whole website that polls the front-page API for Venmo, scans for some keywords that could indicate a "spicy" transaction description, and displays them.[0]

P.S. I have zero affiliation with the website or the owners/developers, I just thought it was entertaining.

While housing is an issue (particularly in more prosperous coastal cities), if I made over $100k per year but couldn't afford a house in the $400k range, I don't think my response would be to rent a single-family house in Stapleton. There are more affordable apartments in the Denver area that are still in a good school district.

Articles like this are starting to annoy me because I see the working poor and lower-middle class, who have very serious financial issues today lumped in with young professionals with 2010 levels of student debt trying to live the lifestyle of young professionals in the 1980s (who were largely free of student debt) to their own financial detriment.

If you have a household income of $110k and both work in SF, you are screwed. If you have a household income of $110k and live almost anywhere else in the country, you have options.
Checking one of those boxes: a friend of mine made an app called MicChek (iOS only) that will tell aggregate the events going on for a certain date. It's actually useful when you find yourself with a free night, especially in a strange city.
3. Start your company as an LLC

No matter what anyone tells you, don't start as a C-Corp, unless you are sure that VC is investing in your company right away. Even the cost of winding down a C-Corp is substantial.

You can't build cheap housing, it would drop property values!

That's not too far from the truth either. Comparing "comps" is a lazy man's game. They don't look that closely at the houses they are comparing.
American banking infrastructure is weirdly antiquated.

For a long time I was confused by Americans raving about things like venmo or bitcoin talking about it making it cheap and easy to transfer money. Then I learnt more about the US banking system and it all made a lot more sense.

Planet Money did an episode all about it, featuring someone from the UK talking about our Faster Payments system, who is basically instant.
When you pay someone, how do you let them know what it's for without adding a customer number, or a note saying 'thanks for dinner' or something? That's a reference.
> Problem is a lot of companies get smart and "pay by location"

I never saw any sense in that. Would they start paying you more if you later moved to a more expensive location?

I work freelance remotely for no country in particular and my current location is never a factor for prices.

You can fork it, rename it, and make it provide python2 binary via both Debian alternatives and package-provides, then ask for inclusion in upstream. There's nothing that stops you and it's done for other languages as well. For example in C you have GCC and llvm providing cc.
It is a place to discuss anything without someone removing it. Hate groups, LGBT, people for legal reasons who cannot disclose can, someone releasing information on power entities...

It is a place to find prespectives that are not allowed.

Reminds me of a star trek voyager show where bad thought has been outlawed so they have a black market for those type of thoughts. From the start there are people who want to express and someone who wants to stop them. This stops the person stopping them.
Same here. I've tried moving my "boilerplate side project" .NET Framework template over to the latest and greatest about once a year over the past four years and every time I hit the eight hour mark, I give up. Either my dependencies aren't supported yet, or there's some wonky versioning incompatibility, or there's some other undocumented frustration. I'm not dealing with anything wildly complex here ~ just an n-tier architecture supporting MVC rendered views, forms authentication, API endpoints, an EF middle-tier, and Azure SQL. About as simple as it gets for a web app.

Has anyone here migrated from .NET framework > .NET core lately? Think it's time for me to give it another go?
When I first moved to the US a decade ago, I got a job in a mid-sized city in Michigan paying $52,000 per year.

Had zero problem saving up a down payment in a couple years. Brand new houses were $150k and older, nice home were $90k.

Of course the job prospects aren’t as good as a major city, but housing isn’t a major issue.
> very comfortably

> (No car, no drinking, cook during the week)

We have very different views of "very comfortably" living.

For reference, the amount you have remaining every month after paying rent is close to what I end up averaging on vacation! And I definitely don't think I live a very comfortable lifestyle. (My vacations aren't even that nice - we rent budget cars, fly max economy flights, almost always stay in the bottom 25% of AirBNBs in cost, and almost always eat at $-$$ restaurants) Compared to most Americans - clearly, I spend more on vacation. Compared to my SF Bay Area peers - I spend nothing.
My startpage results are a subset of my Google results with poor relevancy. I understand it's supposed to be the same, but in practice it's not, and no amount of tweaking settings, cookies, etc fixed it. It's so odd.
If I had deep pockets I'd actually work on this idea. One issue I find is the processing cost of such nanopayments. Cryptocoins didn't live up to the promise of enabling this use case :(
> "Is reddit a good "detective"?"

How is that relevant to this discussion? That reddit is correct in this particular instance isn't in question. Unless you're entertaining the notion of devious redditors hacking youtube to fabricate the original video.. Responding to this circumstance by calling into question the reputation of reddit seems like textbook FUD. There is no legitimate defensible uncertainty or doubt here, no matter reddit's reputation.
Even if you have "free speech" you could still end up on some form of subversive persons list. We're not far from McCarthy 2.0.
Yup. It’s admittedly a bit unsettling, but people make their info public and I was trying to be helpful. Might as well try to use social media for some good, ya know?
They're removing the pre-Windows 10 Control Panel items with a new Settings interface. The problem is that it's far worse:-

Tasks such as changing network adaptors setting, or sound settings. I regularly switch between three different audio devices on my desktop PC, and doing simple tasks such as toggling volume levelling isn't in the new interface and digging into the old is becoming harder and harder to find, with more clicks for every revision. Just yesterday I went to add a firewall rule, and that was hard to find. I'm an MCSE, so you would think I could change a firewall setting!

It definitely doesn't feel like an improvement, it feels like they're forcing an abstraction. Plus they've recently removed the Control Panel when you right-click the Start menu. That was about the only 'Safe Space' left.

I feel for anyone who has to support Windows 10. They're definitely not listening to the users. This is the FisherPrice interface all over again, but there's no stopping it this time around.
Shortly after I joined my team, everyone above SDE2 left and were replaced by college hires. There was literally no one around who knew anything about the original project.

What he means is that 5G offers only a ~15-20% increase in thoroughput with it's new set of modulation schemes given the same frequency span using 4G. So the increase in performance has to come from new frequency use. They'll steal half of C-band from satellite uplink but then all that's left is millimeter wave to truly get more thoroughput.

And that does have the problem about the propagation characteristics.
Just wanted to say this is completely inconsistent with almost all people I know who work/have worked at Amazon as developers

Venmo mostly.
How does your total comp fare relative to Seattle? I’m living in downtown Seattle now working for Amazon. I’ve been here almost 8 years. My TC is north of $300K, but the mental strain this fucking company has had on me has me constantly on the edge. I’m thinking about leaving to join another FANG company or drop out of big tech all together.
I think there is still a big issue with pegging home ownership as the quintessential "American dream". In a lot of ways home ownership actually leads to worse outcomes than renting, but so many people think it's the one thing everyone should do.
in practice, no one uses the banks directly to send money like that: we use apps like Venmo / CashApp that take your debit card/bank info and act as an intermediary for sending/receiving money.
Same exact as your metrics.

His facts are a little off, but it is a good article. For example, he states, "When the water is cold (say under 50 degrees F) there are significant physiological reactions that occur, in order, almost always...You Can’t Breathe"

But he's painting with a too broad brush. In other words, some people experience those symptoms, others don't. For instance, my fellow swimmer Brenden Sullivan swam in Tahoe at 38º F (well below 50) and didn't experience the can't-breathe symptoms).

Few people in the open water swim club that experience the loss of breath: most people get in the water & start swimming without problems. I do experience the loss of breath when the water temperature drops below 52º F:. In fact, I have to do backstroke for the first 50 yards before my breath normalizes. But I'm the only one I know who suffers like that.

Also, body fat makes a big difference, but muscle, not as much. I've seen too many body builders shiver in the sauna after swimming in the Bay. Body fat makes a big difference; big-time open water swimmers are not svelte.
I think it’s safe to say the HN crowd is a little different than most. For me personally I have gigabit and work from home periodically. I’ll regularly saturate my wireless.
Every so often my pessimistic tendencies get a healthy slap across the face by the actions of someone who took the high road when they easily could have chosen otherwise.

It's a couple summers ago, at the height of the summer tourist season and I'm cycling up 4th ave SW in DC. Somewhere between the NASA HQ and the National Mall my camera bag - packed full with a fairly new DSLR, a few lenses, and a secondary cell phone - came unbuckled from my messenger bag and tumbled to the sidewalk. Probably a few thousand dollars of gear, not counting the considerable hassle of resetting 2fa and credentials for every possible account that could be tied to my phone (it was password-locked but I have no idea how well that would survive a determined attack).

I was booking it pretty hard trying to catch a metro, so I didn't notice the loss for a couple more blocks. After the only genuinely involuntary (and painful!) facepalm I've ever given myself, I hurried back home (lived in town close by) and immediately started cancelling every account when my main cell phone rang. The bag was waiting for me, all contents undisturbed and intact, in a hotel lobby a couple blocks away. An anonymous samaritan had picked it up, brought it in and gave it to the concierge without a word, then walked away. Concierge called me using my contact info in a business card that was also in the bag.

In one instant, some unsung karmic superhero single-handedly erased the work of several hundred asshole double parking jobs.

Those guidelines are fairly subjective when it comes to something like this. They don't say "most stories about politics..." rather than "all stories about politics..." for a reason. I think you could effectively argue either that this is on-topic or off-topic...

That said, then why not err on the side of leaving this up? I like HN because there are usually insightful, level-headed discussions about a wide variety of topics. This is definitely one I'd love to read a larger take on from the HN crowd on. This isn't a status quo I'd like to see more people accept.
There are loads of spots along the border there where the US/Canada separation is only a grassy median [0]. So it's odd but not unbelievable.

My mom is an old lady, does it daily, and picked up the habit in her 60s. She is very much not a superhuman. Her swim group is all the other old ladies in their 60s in the neighborhood. The "gradual" introduction is to start swimming a few short laps daily in the summer, and don't stop when the weather cools. They use a pump to keep the sea from icing over near the peer; the ice can be about a meter thick nearby.
Personally I don't mind paying 2$ to attend a meetup.

I'd prefer having pay $2/attendee as organizer myself to the system of making attendees pay. Because they.simply.will.not.pay and will not attend. That is how the Internet has worked since forever.

This is really bad for me because meetup actually has been extremely useful for me and, as you say, there's a good change they are simply going to loose that audience completely with nothing replacing it, at least for a while (or Facebook replacing it and that kind of sucking).
