“ So, my hypothesis is that, as long as the free users are using my app, there will always be an opportunity to monetize from them, one day.”

Yeah, but each day those users are churning out and you will have missed the opportunity to monetize them forever - that lost revenue will never come back.

I didn’t realize this was a thing! I’m generally able to do this too, especially when meditating. It started after trying psychedelics in college, which probably ‘activated’ something in my brain that said “you can make the carpet swirl”. It’s sort of like looking at a Magic Eye photo. I just tried to do it now, but having just woke up, I don’t think I can concentrate enough to do it.

How early did your parents start you on meditation?
One issue is when the people who relocated with you start to leave. If you need 500 engineers you might be able to get them to move to a mid-tier city with you but when you start needing to replace those engineers it’s going to be tougher.

NASA Study Makes Case for Building 20m Exoplanet Telescopes in Space with Robots
To go from nothing to a self sustaining community in 3 years is good going.

I had a project that I worked on with a friend, we already had a small audience that we where bringing over from a previous project so we weren't starting from scratch. Even with all this help it took at least a year before there was a decent community of regulars.
Are any of the other countries with significant protests also colonies of the UK until recent decades? The HK-UK history clearly influences the significance of that event for the BBC’s audience.

Do you have other examples?
In most companies people who are in positions to make this decision have houses in the Bay Area and have a good life set up. They are not keen to upset all of that.
>So a cloud service that's available worldwide should store and process data locally in every country (or perhaps even every sub-jurisdiction of every country) just so that that jurisdiction can serve warrants to it and others cannot?

Simply put, yes.

You are maybe concerned with the technical issues / problems to the service provider.

I'm more concerned with the decentralization, surveillance, and data sovereignty.

>Or worse, people in multiple countries should have to use different services and hope those services interoperate with each other, just so that they can "shop local"?

Yes. In fact, this decentralized nature, and resilience, was an early vision about the internet itself, and not just some hippie dream, even in its army-research origins... And of course all the way to ideas such as XMPP, Diaspora, and so on.

Nobody dreamed a Facebook silo somewhere gathering all the world's data...

>The Internet does not and should not work that way.

That it does not, it's obvious. That it should not, less so.

(And of course, if one's county is the one doing the data-gathering/policing of data for the rest of the world, it's "naturally" all A-OK to them that it is so).

>If we're going to go to the trouble of building interoperable, federated services, it should be to put them in the control of individual users, not in the control of governments.

Notice how I didn't propose putting them "in control of governments".

They already are in control of at least one government (the one of the country of Facebook, Google, MS, Apple, Twitter, etc).

So what I proposed is already de-centralized: putting each users data under democratic control in the places where they themselves are (and vote, have rights, etc), as opposed to a central place, where they don't vote, don't have any right or resource as foreigners and are "fair game" to the whims of both the service-origin government and the service company.

If they're going to go to control of individual users, even better. But stopping the control of a single foreign government is already a good first step.

(Exceptions could be made for non-democratic countries -- no reason to give control of a service's local data to a dictatorship).
Grafana seems amazing at first.

Variables to abstract out some, a bit of "repeat" to loop over something, and you get pretty drop-downs that you can combine to show nice graphs.

Then you think "I'll add it to a playlist". and you do so.

Then you think "my kiosk can't scroll this much for all, let's have one screen each for the apps" and you do.

And then you realize you cannot use variables from playlists, and you cannot template screens.

So you make eight copies of your screen, one for each variable configuration.

And you edit each copy of your screen to set the variables, and save it.

And then you realize that there was a typo in one panel.

So you go in and edit in eight different screens to fix that typo.

Then you realize that it doesn't look good on the TN panel, so you need to change a few colours to get better contrast.

So you do that on eight different copies, by the means of clicking in every pane, navigating through the point-n-click and then pressing.

But you realized that you learned this, so you're fast, and use the keyboard. Except then the change doesn't take.

Because grafana requires you to click in another field after you've edited, or your change doesn't hold if you press "Escape" or other key to navigate back.

And that's how I learned how Grafana is best of breed in GUI dashboard tools. Sort of how a pug is best of breed in a dog competition.
I agree. I really liked C++11, it seemed to be a big improvement to the language, but ever since then, its just been getting more and more complex to the point where I no longer feel like I can understand the language at all anymore.

Not OP, but having a good debug log is invaluable. I prefer it to using an IDE debugger. It's rare I need to debug in an IDE, because I can read my logs and see what went wrong and where. Then all I need to do is read the code to find the faulty logic.
Boeing moved, many companies based in NYC moved out of the city in the 80s, 90s. It’s not extremely hard, but it is disruptive. When the exodus happens it’ll start as a trickle and by the time people take notice half the cos will have reduced occupancy.

After certain stage it’s more about managing growth than about R&D, so you can find most of the talent you need in alternate markets.
Thanks for this!

1 - Even with access to the trusted contact's account a passphrase/access key (specific to the main account and not stored by the service) is required

2 - Interesting scenario but still requires the above-mentioned access key

3 - Same as above two points even after being approved

4 - Won't get released without the key
It’s surprising that Apple Pay works at a variety of stores as opposed to just one but it still took this long to become more popular than the Starbucks app. I personally still only use the Starbucks app as Apple Pay still doesn’t work with my credit union.

150+ people have died in Iraq over the last month during wide scale protests. There is an article on this on the BBC's website.

On the other hand, there is almost live coverage with embedded journalists as headline news every time a protester throws something at the HK police, or every time the HK police throws a teargas canister at protesters.

Why Is Money in Asia Circles?
And in the begining the advertising was pointless. No one was going to stick around when there was no content yet. They should have been grateful for the minimum amount of free traffic and engagement, covered server costs for 6 month or a year while it gradually built. Only then pay for advertising, when that traffic will find at least a minimal community to engage with. Yeah it's still hard and might fail, but you don't get a social community over night, or in the 3-4 weeks they spent on each attempt.

Let the Free Market fight Chinese censorship
Because you are an exceptional user. The average computer user will never install or be willing to work to configure any extra security software, especially something which takes that much work. To protect everyone, and to keep the flow of malware to a minimum, we need to have security for everyday users like my sister, who just wants to write up her latest site report and deal with the email that's flooding in about the next conference.
Adobe is also old, as software vendors go. I have no knowledge of their internal workings but it wouldn't surprise me if they still have some code in a product that predates the existence of C# or Apple's adoption of Objective C. They also have a need for algorithmic speed, and C++ has long been a prime tool for that.
How so? Censorship is explicitly forbidden by the US constitution, and even so it happens (in this case, "in the name of national security" or whatever).
Thank you! I squashed the bug. You should be good to go now. :)

Grand Digital Piano: Multimodal Transfer of Learning of Sound and Touch
I completely agree. I still keep vim nearby, as it’s everywhere, fast on large data files, and has some power tools for editing plain text that «code editors» just don’t have.
I never had much success in setting autocompletion in Vim. Jumping to symbols somewhat works but since the editor itself is not build-aware it always gets thing like include paths wrong. Maybe with editorconfig.json or something it would work better, but in the end I found completion in dedicated IDEs always much better.
Introduction to Object Tracking in Videos
I don't think that's a fair comparison. VPN services have significant ongoing technical costs: bandwidth, servers, labour (upgrades, support, security, incident resolution) etc which you must pay monthly but are never recovered when charging a one-off price.

If you're finding that the users you're sharing your passbox with are requesting your passwords every day, that's probably signal enough to remove them so they automatically use the service less. I'd expect the lifetime marginal cost of an additional user here to be a very small percentage of the revenue for that client.

Interesting! This was kind of my software engineering II project back in college a decade ago. I wrote it in PHP. You configured all sorts of different actions that would occur if you failed to check in every once in a while (there were lots of ways to kick the deadman switch down the road. A simple phone app, you could text message a number with anything, you could send an email..)

The idea was that you could configure "I loved you and never told you!" emails to out, cancel your electricity / gas, ask people to return your videotapes, send your top secret dossier to journalists, and give access to sekret treasure maps if you get eaten by a bear while on a hike.

I never had the moxy to make it public, but I always liked the idea. I wish you the best of luck!
And I guess you will make it opt-in instead of opt-out for the self-hosted Enterprise Edition, right?

Edit: also, the email you sent out to your users is very different from your blog post.
In the blog post you ask for feedback from your users, which is not the case in the email, which is written as an actual announcement that this is going to happen.
I think you misunderstand me; some people don't care about the CDN capabilities as much as the caching and DDoS protection. If my web server takes 10 seconds to complete a request (yes, I've had really terrible journalistic sites that do that) and I can send malformed requests and always hit the customer's webserver, then I could get accidentally DoS'd, or intentionally DDoS'd with very little effort.

> Simply put, yes.

Feel free to build such services, if you wish.

> You are maybe concerned with the technical issues / problems to the service provider.

Not just that (though I certainly don't consider it reasonable to expect a service to have thousands of servers in thousands of jurisdictions and deal with thousands of legal systems; frankly, I want services to expose themselves to as few jurisdictions as possible).

I'm concerned about the usefulness of the service to its users. As a user of a service, I will not accept partitioned and walled-off services where I cannot interact with people elsewhere in the world. That's my choice, and the choice of people and projects I collaborate with, and I choose to use services that allow me to collaborate with those people and projects.

> And of course all the way to ideas such as XMPP, Diaspora, and so on.

I did specifically say that:

If we're going to go to the trouble of building interoperable, federated services, it should be to put them in the control of individual users, not in the control of governments.

If you have the capability of interoperability and federation, then where you host your data should have nothing to do with jurisdiction, and everything to do with who wants to store and control the data.

General jank that gets on my nerves:

- `gi` doesn't work reliably on enough pages for it to be useful, ditto for `g;`.

- we outright break a handful of websites unless you `seturl [url] noiframe true`

- our mini-language is dreadfully inconsistent (e.g. `winopen -private` but also `hint -qb`). Corollary: composite commands steal semi-colons from JavaScript.

- most importantly, entering stuff into the command line is not a pleasant experience compared to our competitors due to lag and various things that block input but shouldn't (this is worse on Windows and generally gets worse the bigger and older your Firefox profile is)

I still like it, though. I'm glad you do too!

For your problem, I'd suggest making site specific binds: e.g. `bindurl news.ycombinator.com ;u hint -Jc [title="upvote"]` and, as a guess, `bindurl news.ycombinator.com ;d hint -Jc [title="downvote"]`, but I'm not cool enough to have downvote buttons so I don't actually know if that last one will work.

>These things the locals "could not care less about" eventually become the culture, disgusting as that may be. I grew up in such a place.

Yes, that's absolutely true.

And while the modern mindset (at least in some countries) doesn't allow us to make value judgements in such matters (the idea being that "everything is OK as long as the one doing it is not forced by gun to do it, and they make money doing so"), I'd still say it's bad and sad.
I can only recall one time that Emacs has frozen up on me. When was the last time you used it? (I don’t doubt you, but with today’s machines the start up time is so small I don’t notice it hardly at all.)
Given cloud pricing structures and some basic actuarial tables, it shouldn't be too hard to put a reasonable limit on your resource costs. The real question is whether the cloud will last, or if you'll need to migrate everything off of AWS and onto something incompatible some time in the next 40 years.

15 Ways To Find Customers For Your Startup

I think the other commenter is probably closer to accuracy. Here in NYC, offshoring to Chile/DR and other countries in the same timezone is surprisingly popular, even for early stage startups. The idea that people will just immigrate is a bit of a stretch. Coming from an immigrant family I will tell you that some of the most talented people stayed behind while others got lucky. My $0.02, just like anyone else's, and I know people currently in India launching really great code schools, but the talent argument never held in my mind.
What do you mean by this?

"Everything is small", in what sense? Where in Europe?

If you mean: houses are small, yup, it's not common to have sprawling suburbia with rows and rows of single-family houses with a garage, driveway, lawn and backyard. At the same time, these are not necessities, apartments are small but you have plenty of access to public areas such as parks and squares where most people will congregate.

What are your bare minimums? What I notice here is people living much more sustainably compared to the US, consumerism still exists but it's not exacerbated by people buying every kind of gadget and permanently installing or fixing their houses with new stuff. Cars are necessities for people that live far away from the cities and/or have families, the rest can live comfortably without a personal car (and some families I know that live close to the cities depend entirely on car sharing).

It's a very different lifestyle and as an immigrant here, having visited the US and coming from a country very influenced by the American-way-of-life I'd say that it's much much better, even if you can't buy so much shit.
Those types of insurance polices payout on an event, so a monthly premium makes sense as nobody can afford to pay it upfront.
