Isn’t the network effect the main problem in trying to replace Meet-up?

Perhaps Meet-ups for various niche interests is an option. But it’d be great to have some sites with better usability.
And neither of those IDs would allow you to vote if it was implemented.
Starting next year, I'd expect most other platforms will not include python2 in the default distribution, so the default "python" can either point to python3 or nothing at all.

That's GSuite is at the core a product for enterprise/education, and also has much stricter data policies. Unfortunately, a lot of people use it to turn their domain name into a Gmail inbox. Google should really spin that into a separate product.
This article always makes me sad. These dogs have an affinity for and trust their humans only to be sent off and get exploded, crashed onto the surface of the Earth, or starved of oxygen. I can't imagine what's going through their minds when they head out.
"Oversimplified" is one way of putting it. I'd prefer to call it "simply incorrect". The manner in which the ring's rest mass is increased [decreased] is ignored[1]. If you don't ignore it, and apply conservation of (relativistic) angular momentum to the box-ring system, you'll see there's no reason to expect a net thrust at all.

I would say it's slight exaggeration, having lived in Switzerland for over ten years.

I would put it on the same level as "my home owner's association fined me for only watering my lawn twice a week instead of three times a week".

Not impossible to believe, but also far from normal.
It's sensory overload. Which is indeed physically exhausting.
This is one of those products that I'm sure has a large value-add, but still makes me feel gross that it exists. The amount of glue in here... yeesh.

Edit: I initially read this to be yet another layer on top of React Native, but it appears to be an alternative to it. So less glue than I thought.

> There's no requirement to inform your old state you left, so millions of inactive voters are left in the database

In Germany when you arrive somewhere we know that you are coming from somewhere. So when you register at your new address that usually involves your new city hall informing your old one that you moved.

I guess that doesn't really work if registration isn't universal (in Germany we track you place of residence basically from birth, it's used not just for voting but also for determining where your taxes go, for government communication, to make sure nobody skips out on bills by moving, etc).
Awesome! Strapi is wonderful and although it is still in beta, i have already used it inside multiple production services of my projects and it's performance and useful functionalities have amazed me along the way. cheers to all the guys at strapi! great job!
I've been working fully remote for about four years now.

- Commuting, public transit even in big cities leaves room for improvement.

- The open office plan. The last several offices I worked in. My laptop was pretty much right next to an adjacent co-workers. Chair to chair arms scraping.

- None of my adjacent co-workers were on my team. They were all managers for out sourced teams. In a different time zones.

- If I did need to collaborate with another team lead, there were no meeting rooms. And the wide open office space and high noise made it hard to communicate.

- My upper management, i.e. who I reported too. Worked from home most of the week. We couldn't do one on ones, or I couldn't talk to them. Because of no available meeting rooms, and as mentioned noise constraints in the open office space.

- Cost of living, why would I take the same pay in a city with four times the rent cost. With less space and amenities. When I could make the same amount remotely, and pay less rent.

As a remote employee. I can easily synchronize and work with my co-workers. No worrying about meeting rooms, or back ground noise.

I have a proper desk, and work area for development.

I can work in the environment that works best for me. Whether it's at home, or in a coffee shop researching.

I feel trusted and not micro-managed.

I don't need to stress about errands, and other daily activities.

If I do need face to face with my co-workers. We travel and see each other for in person sessions, very rare.

I'm not against on site, or in office. I'm just not interested in traveling over twenty minutes one way to work. For a non optimal office environment. That makes me less productive, than if I was at home.

It's not for everyone, and trying to fit it all one way won't work.

The other issue is tooling, and processes. Investing in the proper communication tools, zoom, slack, etc. Then having a strong documentation, and less tribal knowledge. Making it easier to work from any where.

The hard part is finding remote jobs.

The last architecture / design I wrote. Was done from my phone while waiting at the DMV.
If someone boycotts your referendum I'd say they have a pretty strong opinion on the matter.
I agree heavily with this, minus the paid advertising bit. I think it depends on your audience. I've grown browserless.io from 8k MRR last year, to ~20k MRR this year wo doing paid ads.

Doubling down on what makes your product what it is is fantastic advice. Making adoption and trialing it easy is also what I'd recommend as churn can become a problem during this timeframe.

Micro SaaS FTW!
Amazon's showroom? Yeah, I was looking on Amazon for a specific bluetooth keyboard and saw the same one for the same price at BB. I purchased it at BB, as I could get it immediately, and I knew that it was new/unused. If b&m stores can be relatively competitive price-wise (even if a bit more), I'd much rather buy locally. Surely Home Depot and Lowe's (and others) benefit from each Sears store closed.
> So does playing chess at a high level, or I'd bet even probably even MMR in Dota does as well. Once you consider this, you may go the next step and ask what better methods test for ability to pass a math class (perform other tasks successfully).

I would agree that playing Chess and Dota are both probably pretty good predictors. What kinds of abilities do you need to play Chess (or Dota) at a high level? Abstract reasoning, mental quickness, and a good working memory.

What about an IQ test? An IQ test is just a random sampling of problems that test abstract reasoning, mental quickness, and a good working memory. If you iteratively give people a series of IQ tests there will be some variation in their score from test to test, but what you will find is that over time the average of their scores converges. This convergence is why researchers believe there is a single main factor of intelligence (g).

Now, there are still things aside from intelligence that relate to the ability to pass a math class (or any class). A big one is Conscientiousness. It's a facet of personality that basically has to do with how organized and hardworking someone is. It is the second strongest single predictor of overall life success next to IQ (although even with both factors combined there's still a lot of the variance in life success left unexplained).

My contention is that Mensa membership tends to select for people who have low conscientiousness.

> For example, consider that I know someone who has a far greater ability than I to learn a new language; while I have a greater ability with math.

So there are different sub-factors of general intelligence[1]. That does not mean that there still isn't a general factor of intelligence, because all of these factors do still correlate pretty stongly with one another. However, I've heard that towards the high end of IQ, there does tend to be a greater distance between the sub-factors.

In other words, a person of average intelligence is likely to be average in all of the categories, whereas a person of high-intelligence is more likely to be especially gifted in one or two areas (though still pretty good in the rest).

I saw Spirited Away on DVD, after digging up an old DVD player in a junk pile. I loved the first half, but didn't enjoy the second half where it started skipping and eventually stopped entirely -- the pauses and stutters set a very different tone than the languid animation, and I had hoped for more resolution for the characters.

It's hard to know how to review the experience. I was annoyed to go through all of the special logistics to watch half a film. But then, Miyazaki says in the article that the point of life is not to be happy, so maybe I had the intended experience and failed to appreciate it?
> 1. It’s much less reliable. Especially in bed when I get paged at night I almost always have to revert to PIN auth, which is unfortunate when I’m disoriented and seconds count.

In the state of WI when they first implemented Voter ID, there were some entire counties where there was a single DMV location, that was only open for a few hours a week. (of course, during normal business hours). This makes it incredibly difficult for people that are poor, or young, and obviously have no drivers license to then take off work, and get themselves to the town across the count between 11am and 2pm on a Thursday.

If you add in some of the requirements for getting a valid State ID, it can be even harder for people to get. (Many poor people don't have ready copies of their birth certificate, marriage license to show the change in name, etc)
Apart for their lawsuit against Google, they're ownership of copyright just means they could choose to relicense future code under a different license, even proprietary if they wanted.

At that point, someone else could attempt a hard fork. Same as what AWS did for Elastic search and MongoDB. The existing release code is still under open source license and so would allow for that. But whoever's attempts that fork, unlike Oracle, would not be allowed to change the license terms beyond what the current open source license allows.

And, someone could also choose to not re-use any code, and re-imement from scratch the spec, like what Google did for Android. That said... the open lawsuit against Google is still deciding of the legalities of that one.
yeah! i have also used nuxt+strapi+apollo and it was lots of fun for me working with this stack.
AWS is maintaining separate releases of the JDK to help offset the release shenanigans of Oracle.

And there are other concerted efforts to keep control from Oracle in releases and the validity of the JDK.

As long as a sufficiently large majority (and AWS is helping here a lot, admittedly) maintain such regimented discipline, the JDK will be ok.

Oracle mostly wanted it to sue google for billions. That suit is basically dead, and Oracle knows the JVM isn't worth any large scale revenue.

I've started a few meetups and a format that works well is the following:

- have one company as the sponsor, providing venue, food and one technical talk - this ensures that the organizers don't need to deal with money which is a big admin headache
- have around 3 talks total, but keep them short, to around 20 minutes + 5 minutes for Q&A
- start the event 15-30 mins late to allow for people to show up late and giving those that turned up early the chance to talk to each other
- make sure you end quite early, leaving time for people to mingle afterwards

We also built our own Meetup.com alternative called Meetabit (https://meetabit.com, see my other comment to this post) and to promote it wrote a few blog posts which go into more detail, which you can find here: https://blog.toughbyte.com/tagged/meetup

The references to Vikings seem a bit gratuitous, tacked on to the end of sentences likely by an editor, when the scope of the article is about Ötzi and 3400-year old shoes. I’m sure they’ve found some stuff from 1000 years ago as well, but the really fascinating material here is far older. But Vikings!!
Haha his first act was not to ask for help, but rather he "ordered five beers and drunk them."
Thank you for reinforcing my point. That's a great example of how I would get disenfranchised despite being a resident of the district I'm voting in, while the IDs themselves would have no effect on whether a voter is wrongfully purged from the voter rolls.

There are plenty of alternatives that don't lock you to Amazon. One of my teams just migrated from oracle to MariaDB and saw big performance gains. We happen to be using AWS for hosting, but it's Maria, we can go anywhere.
Of course the state knows they just can't admit they know. Besides that you are alive and your adress they probably also know if you are going to vote and who.
That sounds way too long. I think you should get that checked out.
Where Do Adoptable Dogs in Your State Come From?
> So the problem is not automation, is lack of recourse.

The problem is automation, if it exaggerates the "lack of recourse". It means that, without being careful, adding automation would screw up most of such systems. Thus such articles to boost awareness and make sure automation is done well. I'm disappointed with what a hard time many on HN seem to have with accepting the need to be cautious. Especially with Gov, were you cannot just find or build a better alternative on the open market.

> If you lost your ID, you wouldn't get your benefit even if you walked into a social security branch either.

Is that actually the case in the US? The programs (run by the church and heavily supported by german gov) I've come in contact with certainly did not. Never was at a soup kitchen, but would be surprised for them to ask for IDs.
Did you legitimately just link to a study disproving your point as if that is evidence that supposedly proves your point?

Isn't Bing second best search engine?
> that might bog down or even crash devtools

I'm not convinced - if that's true, then there's so many frames that clicking the websocket would crash devtools, which is equally unacceptable.

In my experience people tend to use websockets in a not that dissimilar way to how they'd previously use pure HTTP requests, but now the server can instantly push data back too. If that is typical (hard to say) then it shouldn't be too bad.

If people were using many (10s, 100s) of websockets in a single page then there would be an argument that individually they're manageable but together it's impossible, but I would be surprised if that's common. I'd love examples if it is!

> it also clearly delineates between multiple websockets, or if you closed one and opened another

I think you could show all frames together and still differentiate the individual sockets within. I'm imagining a UI a bit like standard git tree UIs, with a row for each item, but links between the related ones. I don't think good UX here is impossible.

The real problem is that one of our parties in the USA is passing laws to lower voter turnout.

The precise rules of voting don't really matter: as long as the anti-vote group gets what they want, they'll suppress the vote and strengthen themselves politically.
> [Voter fraud] is nearly impossible to detect in a meaningful way.

If the "victims" of voter fraud truly cared enough, they could audit the voter records for any election. Unless I am wrong, there exists a record of whether or not each person on the rolls actually voted. The intersection of the people who voted with those that are deemed truly inactive would be the extend of the voter fraud (at best).

No one seems to do that kind of study, however, because it's a lot of work and it's more "fun" to just blow thousands of people (mostly democrats) off the rolls.
I'm about to start a non-US MBA with an entrepreneurship/startup focus, night school so that I can keep working and earning during the degree. Total cost for me out of pocket, for two years of tuition, after various state (non-employer) benefits, is roughly $3,500. Full cost for two years is a tad under $20,000. I have the time, I'll pick up the networking and the skills, I can pay for it out of pocket and without debt, so for that price - why not?

If I was faced with a six-figure price tag, I'd self-educate. The Internet is a powerful resource. "Networking" isn't worth the cost of tuition when people will come banging down your door to work with you after you've developed a strong and proven track record for results.

I would like to point out that since the movies are not available on any major streaming service, there is also no actor pursuing the take-down of high quality copies on private trackers etc..

I used to think lawyers were the class of people most damaging to society. (As the political class.) Now after some recent up close and personal exposure to MBAs, I’m not so sure. It’s a shame because it’s a degree that attracts a lot of smart people due to its market value...
None of these things listed are constitutional rights like voting and most of the things listed are more difficult but not impossible without ID.
The Evolution of Automation Technology to Automation 4.0
I think you're posting a good question. I'm also curious. But inflation isn't fixed. How can you conclude that is not keeping up with inflation.
In practice, you don't have money for those, and your team is lazy and doesn't really want to learn that new cool tech, just let them do their job.

In practise, you want to cheap out on paying for training, have your team do their job and learn an entirely new system to expert level at the same time, the "cool new tech" isn't and your team knows that you're trying to sell it as "cool" to pull a fast one on them because you think they're idiot children, and you won't even commit to using it for long enough to make it worth the bother of trying to learn before changing your mind or prioritising something else, and you're humming and hawing about investing in the tools to make the new tech work well because it's free software so why should it cost you any money?

Besides, you won't prioritise maintenance or design, so the codebase is a mess and people are incentivised towards panic-of-the-day fixes and don't-ever-ever-break-anything conservatism - their fault not yours, obviously, it can't be your fault, you don't even work with the tech (you just choose it by fiat).
No, it actually supports automatic backup and can also upload to third party services like Dropbox.
Which is why any flash drive that is regularly written to, should be exchangeable. Be it a car or a laptop. Putting things on SD or M.2 seems like a much more robust solution.

That would be cool. I think some of the PEG parser generators (and Prolog DCGs) can work like that, if you're careful.
This is a fallacy.

The fallacy of using Quality statements in order to negate Quantity.

An earthquake of level 10.0 is just like an earthquake of level 4.0, only longer and bigger.

A flooding is just like normal raining, only with more rain.

In most situations a big change in quantity makes all the difference, like in this case.

If police forces analyze 20000 people a year,mostly criminals in criminal scenes, it is completely different than analyzing millions, mostly normal people.
Not macro, no I don't have examples. Just my personal observation based on classes I took at an "elite" college vs. the ones taken by a friend at the state school.
In the same vein of oracle trying the one-ring-to-bind them, RDS is amazing on many levels, but AWS is all in on database lockin with their customers.

RDS probably affords enough flexibility to get your data out, but Dynamo... that's a different story.
That's so true. It's probably the point that resonates most with me.
