Ask HN: What's a promising area to work on?
What's an area that people think is up and coming? (e.g. like social networks were in 2004, mobile apps in 2010, or vlogging in 2014)

I've finished several projects simultaneously and I'm looking to work in an area with lots of users, but as yet few producers. Wouldn't even need to involve programming, but probably would need to be online, as I'm pretty introverted!
The same here. Have you tried with FF add-ons that normally are the culprit for CPU hogging?
There are many ways to look at this...

1. It is great that Google is working to come up income sources other than ads. This will help diversify their business and motives over time.

2. This may cause some to think that the money is the only method of payment for the service that's happening. That payment via our data isn't happening because money is involved. I hope this does not happen.

3. It opens the door for competitors who want to charge for a service. If Google can charge this gives some emotional motivation for others to do it instead of harvesting and selling data. It's a tiny thing and a bit part but still a thing.

4. This is telling that Google isn't making enough money on this data to justify storing more of it. What does this say about enough for them? How much data do people want to store and what would it mean?

I'll stop at 4 things. I hope people wonder down these different paths that are not mutually exclusive.

Here's me failing to get a G Suite to act like a Google Account, and then figuring out just what I can migrate back to Gmail: https://medium.com/@buro9/one-account-all-of-google-4d292906...

Somehow though, I have managed to get 2TB of photo storage for free. The photos are there in full quality, but do not count to storage usage.

If you're brave, there's a path here to unlimited free photo storage.

I would not advise anyone to use G Suite for a personal email address.
Pretty much, yes. You’ll have to make a Firefox account, but then tabs and plugins will sync everywhere you log in.
In case anyone was wondering, here is the stack I use :

* Styled-Components

* GraphQL/Apollo

* Java backend, Spring Boot and GraphQL library

* Couchbase as DB

* Auth0

Quite unusual I would say, but it works quite nicely !

My comments were not meant as logical proofs. But, I am content to say that Dropcam, as designed at launch, could likely be proven “net good” based on several popular moral axiomatic systems. That’s the best I’ve got, chum! The alternative is to convert oneself to a motionless blob, attempting to exert the least possible influence on reality unless intense logical calculation and polling of prevailing subjective moral bases has occurred first.

I choose instead to just try to do the right thing, and build cool/good stuff too. And always try to make things better, as long as you have breath. I highly recommend it over the blob strategy.

Have to admit though, I had forgotten how much fun it is to comment on the Internet!
> This means that if they get 5 million dollars and only spend 4 million, no one gets to take home the extra million. It has to go back into the business.

I wonder where the line is drawn on that.

For example, can the CEO buy a house to live in and then claim it's investing in the business because that's where he works remotely once in a while?

Also on the salary itself, do you pay regular income tax on that (separate from the company, but as an individual receiving a salary)?

TTGL definitely gets whacky plotwise in the last few episodes but I don’t think it ever lost focus on its central themes at any point.

From all the buzz I’d heard from friends and on the internet about NGE, I was ready to be bawling by the end with a tsunami of emotion. Not that it’s without precedent: TTGL, Kill La Kill, and Darling in the FranXX, to give some examples, have had me (and my partner) in tears at several points. And yet at the end of NGE (both the series and EoE) I just sat there like “...ok, that was interesting. Lots to ponder over. Also...what?”

I read through the wiki and thought a lot about the plot and themes afterwards, but it didn’t really speak to me on an emotional level. Maybe it was just me.
Parent misses the point. Hacker News is an example of what one specimen in a healthy ecosystem of forums would look like.

However, we do not have a healthy ecosystem, and as such Hacker News comes off as oppressive to those with outlier opinions, because another forum of equal quality (both content and diversity of users), similar size and a similar topic of discourse doesn't really exist. Being banished from HN means being banished from what some consider to be the upper echelons of discussion around the tech and startup scene.

>Is iCloud really that lucrative? It's $9.99/month for 2TB - that's roughly 1/4 the price you'd pay for that much storage on "normal" S3

...assuming you use exactly that much. If you use something like 250GB, it's twice the price as s3. If you check the offerings[1], there's a gap in the 200GB-2TB range. I suspect that's to force "average users" (in the 200GB-1TB range) into paying more than they need, while giving the appearance of being competitive (if you use all 2TB, which most won't).

50GB: $0.99
200GB: $2.99

Thanks for the feedback! This was probably later than when you added the project, but we added a "note to maintainers" feature:

https://gitlab.com/codeshelter/note-to-maintainers

It's basically a text file where you describe how you want future maintainers to handle the project, give instructions, caveats, etc (whatever you want, basically).

I assume this specific maintainer situation happened because it's easy to click a button and be added to the project, so maybe the maintainer was planning to do something but didn't get around to it, or something similar.

About the communication, you're right, we encourage maintainers and authors to join our chat server (https://codeshelter.zulipchat.com/) so they can be in contact.

Code Shelter was built with more of a long-term prospect in mind (obviously we can't guarantee that we'll find you a maintainer right away), maybe I should amend the copy to manage peoples' expectations, because I hear from a lot of people that they expected someone to pick up their project and were disappointed when it didn't happen.

That is also not how you would write it in idiomatic C++.

The "before" example is C, or bad C++. You are allowed to write bad C++, as you are allowed to write bad Rust. But if you are to compare langues honestly, you should be comparing good code in one language to good code in the other.

The alternative is tendentious but typical, and nothing to be proud of.
> People want purpose, but they also need their basic needs met.

That means our garbage would never get collected or our toilets cleaned, because I don't think anybody's intended purpose is doing sanitation.

If you're just assigning jobs to give a purpose, you're forcing labor. If not you have dirty living quarters and a glut of artists.
It's "documented" as in "tweeted out by an Apple engineer": https://twitter.com/bciechanowski/status/874345241666437120?...

One thing that is not documented is that the IOSurface must have been created with the 'BGRA' pixel format, or it will silently render as black instead.
I have similar feeling, that our government has lost the ability to manage any major project. We have been trying to build one new line of rail in UK for the past 10 years, it has been a subject of constant controversy and I will probably grow old before it materialises.
By that logic there are no tricks, there are only ever features, basic or otherwise.

>> There is no advertising in the G Suite Core Services, and we have no plans to change this in the future. Google does not collect, scan or use data in G Suite Core Services for advertising purposes. [1]

To me that reads a lot like 'Google does indeed collect, scan, use, read, algorithmically process, mine, analyze, characterize, handle, refine, derive from, and peruse data in G Suite Core Services, but with the primary purpose of doing other stuff with it than direct advertising.'

Sorry, if that's actually not fair this time, but with all the doublespeak about these things for the last decade and a half or so, hedging like that does not inspire confidence.
Depends why you're using the CDN. If it's purely for geographic access times, then passing a 400 back to the origin is reasonable behaviour. If the CDN also offers DDoS protection, and a hacker can just trigger a 400 and always hit the origin, then your DDoS protection is near-useless.
Not just too difficult, but reinforcing the idea that with enough money, you can buy your way out of trouble.
My first Internet browsing experience was on Netscape Navigator in 1996. Even back then I wouldn't have known about Mosaic, which pretty much was Netscape.
I skimmed the article (it's quite long) found the criticisms weak.

> No data published; for Szmigielski (1996) it is implied that there were two to three brain tumors in the exposed group, in which case we imply that the 95% CI for brain tumor is incorrect.

> Several of these studies did not follow workers after they left the job of interest (Garland et al. 1990; Grayson 1996; Szmigielski 1996), with the potential for bias if individuals left employment because of health problems that later turned out to be due to cancer; this might especially be a problem for some types of brain tumor, which can be present for long periods before diagnosis.

The above two criticisms are only regarding the brain tumor incidence data, which is not the most significant finding in the paper.

> “Expected” rates in Szmigielski (1996) paper appear to be incorrect, according to the Royal Society of Canada (1999).

Link is broken, and why Canadian cancer incidence rates are assumed to be equal to Polish ones is not explained.

> Significant excesses were reported for several cancer sites not seen in other studies, and for cancer overall, suggesting possible bias.

Not sure why reporting what you found suggests that you're biased, but okay.

Right, and mine likes productivity. I'm sure the business that's expending resources to try and circumvent my firewalls has a firewall and a usage policy that their employees adhere too also.

So if you circumvent my original blocks, as an administrator, I will use my home-field advantage to just start targeting your individual users and remote resources. Suddenly your users can't even get on Google. Then they'll have to come to me for "the talk."

So the decision quickly becomes a) circumvent enough firewalls that you blacklist yourself or b) get all your users blacklisted for using your service.
You are trying really hard to obfuscate the issues here. The accusation is that Obbink stole the fragments and sold them.

Using the correct name of the corporation to which he sold the stolen fragments is not "a fun way to denigrate the people involved".

As far as the museum, given their clear willingness to skirt legal and ethical boundaries in the acquisition of these artifacts, it's a major problem that these are the people own such a vast collection of important history.

I work for a consulting company and any time we work alongside offshore developers (hired by the client to do parts of the work) its a nightmare. Maybe its just the clients being too price-sensitive and not knowing how to oversee offshore devs, but every time I've been in this situation, the offshore developers are slow to deliver, their quality of work is far below the standards of the team, and we end up spending time to fix their work.

I'd like to defend Eric Holder. It's no secret what he does or who he works for. He's a lawyer that works for the big banks and other powerful industries, his job is literally to keep them out of legal trouble.

We should be pointing the finger at the people who knew all these things and still put him in charge of the justice department. We should also be pointing the finger at the ones who have the power to change these policies now, but fail to do so.

At this point Holder is just a scapegoat.

> How common is it for the same person to have both strong Haskell experience and experience building large real-world applications?

I would conjecture that it is more common than what you’d expect from random chance. In my case, I picked up Haskell only after building large systems in C++, Objective C, Lisp, and Python. The draw was that Haskell let me express the kind of system invariants that make it possible to reason about a large codebase.

Since then I’ve written production Haskell in three different companies, none of which appear on this list.
Am Chinese

Every time I go to China (to visit relatives) I expect to be in this sort of dystopic society like how everyone describes it, yet here I find probably the most integrated system of people and technology. Credit cards don't exist, everyone pays via QR code and phone. Tickets are on your phone, a simple monorail travels fast, with security, and the stations are actually clean (unlike NYC). In a certain sense you could say it's the future that you see in some movies. Too bad everything is blocked and you can feel yourself being watched all the time. But I guess that comes with the added benefit of safety in some regards.
The inactive CSS feature is great, I've spent a lot of time cleaning up global stylesheets for my employer recently, and it's a big task. Even though I doubt it catches CSS toggled by Javascript, I'm excited to use it.
> You have to compare it with other countries of similar size and population.

Countries aren't their own silo anymore.

A small country that's in Eurozone, EU and NATO has a lot of "big country" benefits than a small country not in those groups.
You could try talking to people in the industry you want to enter.
Ah, that's cool, seems like it is pretty similar in practice then.

I find it extremely weird that not every other developed country has implemented similar solutions.

Will journalists PLEASE stop taking tweets from any rando out there and publishing them as "news". Yes, with hundreds of million of users you can basically find any quote you want to back up your pet theory.

I feel like I should just open a bunch of twitter accounts and post things like "Journalist X is a complete idiot" and then write an article about how the whole world thinks Journalist X is incompetent, with low and behold all these tweets to back it up!
Capitalism can be defined accurately in different ways depending on context, but industrial-era economists Adam Smith and Karl Marx, who spent their lives analyzing capitalism, understood it as a matter of political economy. In other words, it is nothing like natural law. It is a political matter.

Of the aforementioned experts, Marx was the most critical of capitalism, but most who are unfamiliar would be taken back by the amount of common ground shared between him and Smith.

Some basic working class complaints about capitalism in a very economic sense are concisely introduced in this essay: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1847/wage-labour...

Like most HN readers, Marx believed work is an integral part of a healthy human life. His concern was about the relation of humans with the value they produce. He gave a prescient analysis of what we appear to be experiencing today, in his Theory Of Alienation. See: https://www.marxists.org/subject/alienation/

To give you a single data point, our Haskell code base at ITProTV is about 50,000 lines of code. Reloading the project after a change in GHCi takes slightly less than one second. We haven't spent any significant effort on speeding up compile speeds, for what it's worth. It's fast enough.
