Since GDPR topic was brought up, let me give some more details; GitLab seem to be well aware of GDPR.

This was initial response from GitLab to my request (let's call it Template1):

> We understand that you want to completely remove your GitLab.com account.

> Due to the complexity of servicing these requests, we're asking our users to

> please email gdpr-request at gitlab.com.

> Please ensure that you:

> - send the email from the address associated with your GitLab.com account

> - include the GitLab username you'd like removed

I did send an email to that address repeating my request, but shortly after I received this response (let's call it Template2):

> We have additional updates with regards to our TOS and Telemetry services

> below:

> We understand that the recent announcement regarding the update to our Terms of

> Service, specifically in regards to Telemetry, can lead to questions you have

> about how it impacts your usage of GitLab.

> To answer those questions and gather feedback on this recent update, we have

> created this Issue with additional clarification. As we firmly believe that

> everyone can contribute, we want to assure you all feedback you provide via the

> Issue is both welcome and appreciated.

> Kindly advise if you would still want us to proceed with this request.

I repeated my request, reaffirming that I want to remove and erase my account. In response, they sent "Template1" email again.

Edit:

to be fair, it's been less than 24 hours since the request, and the repeated template-response from GitLab may have been a hiccup on the support side.

But the whole new TOS switch could be handled much better and without dark patterns, i.e. during login, two buttons:

[Accept new TOS] [Decline and erase account]

However, right now there's simply no option to handle account removal conveniently when I want to decline the new TOS.
> Today, it shares the complex ‘just in time’ outsourcing and parts delivery model seen in the world of car manufacture. The drastic fall of Sterling, as well as the uncertainty over future trading arrangements with the European Union, have increased both present costs and future risks for the firm. This has made it increasingly hard to win contracts outside of the UK.

- low-valued GBP increases costs of parts from abroad

- uncertain trading agreements increases risk, likely increases costs higher

- uncertainty also decreases ability to win international contracts
The Sterling has fallen by more than any trade tariff that I know of (at least for any sizeable market where I’ve seen approx 10%) so whenever I read a business blaming their own failings on Brexit I just can’t take it seriously. I believe service businesses could rightly claim Brexit as a concern but a manufacturing business would benefit more from a falling pound
I didn't add the "snark" to that snippet, and no, the rest is no better.

> If OP had done any research, he would have realised "Russian Reddit clone" was not a good idea with a real likelihood of success. Way too ambitious.

> If OP had planned, he wouldn't have stumbled around aimlessly for 10 weeks and would have understood success, especially when growing any type of "community" based project, takes time.

I've now pasted 60% of the comment, and none of it is useful or actionable and is all rather insulting..."stumbled around aimlessly", "not a good idea", "throwing shit at a wall", these are trash statements and no budding entrepreneur should listen to them.

I'll also add that OPs approach is a typical "move fast and break things" method of finding a product-market fit, and it seems to me that OP did stumble upon a product and a market in a discussion platform for cancer patients. They need a monetisation strategy, but for somebody to turn around and say this is "shit" and was "aimless" is useless and shouldn't be encouraged.

> hard to scale (from a people perspective).

This is always going to be true. Either your system is built in a way that even the most ignorant of users cannot do permanent damage, or you design it to be understood and run by a small group of people who fully comprehend what they're doing. Of course neither option is easy, but the alternative is a prolific generator of daily trouble.

I'm not doubting you, but I find it genuinely puzzling how our experiences can be so different.

For me, being treated differently to Japanese looking people is just the norm. At first I assumed it was my Japanese level or some other feature, but I think you can't ignore the obvious difference. The other thing that sealed the deal in my mind is how I get spoken to very differently on the telephone compared to face-to-face.

So many founders have warped expectations of overnight success, myself included. This probably comes from all the Techcrunch style articles we read about viral product launches and massive raises. 10 weeks is not a lot of time, especially if you are bootstrapping a social network. I've been doing it for about two years and only now am I starting to see some traction and figure out how it all works. I don't mind though because it's a labour of love that I fund thorugh my day job.

One thing I've realised though is that the barrier to entry for creating a social network has gone up significantly, because when users come to your network they expect the same experience that they get from other networks like Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Quora, Github, LinkedIn, Medium and so on. Things like:

- A highly relevant, non-repetitive newsfeed of fresh stimulating content.

- Customizable and respectful notifications

- Super tight privacy

- Rich UIs for creating content and comments

- Openness (RSS, ActivityPub etc.)

If you aren't able to deliver the same experience as venture funded social networks as a bootstrapped 2 person team, users typically bail. This in turn stops the network from growing and becoming more useful. Many companies like Quora, LinkedIn and Medium also pay people full-time salaries to produce content that brings people in.
I love the response: "This is an industry problem."

There is a country that suffered a steep decline in life expectancy towards the end of the last century: Russia, after the collapse of the Soviet Union.

The cause has some parallels too. Despite being a nonfree repressive society, the Soviet Union provided the basic services of life to most of its citizens pretty effectively. Its collapse left them with nothing, and much of the actually valuable resources were stolen by the oligarchs who consolidated power.
Why bother with all that trouble of teaching computers to drive by themselves, when you could just get some rats instead?

I would love to see fleets of rat-piloted quadcopters delivering parcels, or to grab a ride in a rat-taxi.

Plus, considering you’re never more than 6 feet away from a rat, the convenience would be off the charts.

When people talk about a mono-racial Japan it's worth mentioning that the census data for Japan doesn't record ethnicity. Depending on where the statistics come from data may have been calculated by assuming that everyone with Japanese nationality is ethnically Japanese too.
Congratulations to UBports! Keeping Ubuntu Touch going as a viable project, and expanding the community and range of devices has been a real achievement.

It's interesting to note that the number of developers involved has grown recently - and I would expect that to continue.

I think the opportunity to buy a new device with UBports UT preinstalled, as the Pinephone and later iterations of the Librem5 should offer, will be a real shot in the arm for the project.

Congratulations again!

I'd like to point out that OP is from Russia. I wonder if he still lives in Russia?

In 2018, the minimum wage in Russia was 11163 rubles per month, which is $174.6 per month. So, it would take a person working for a minimum wage 10.8 months to earn $1900.

For comparison, the minimum wage in California is $11/hour, so assuming a 40 hour work week, in 10.8 months a minimum wage worker in California would make $19,008. I'd guess that you would consider $19k to be a significant amount of money to spend on a project like this?

My point is, while you are right that $1900 is not "stupid money", it might still be a significant amount of money if the OP lives in Russia.

In fact, I'd think that a lot of people living in the United States would think that $1900 is a significant amount of money, especially for a risky side project.

People are discussing the very short amount of time he spent, but what about the money?

A service that he created (I assume direct cost zero) without a big community (so server costs should be very low) and VK's advertisement with no engagement rate.

Did he spend almost 1900 in advertisement? Jeez...

What do you mean by that?

Do you mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wik/Codification_(law) or writing law in computer code, or something else?

If the former: Codification of Common Law is an ongoing process, and I guess will always be a bit behind the latest court rulings. (And that's by design.)
The golden triangle is a bit much. We started out on that route, but pulling up to the first marked site and seeing 50 coaches and throngs of old Chinese ladies all taking photographs in the same direction was offputting. But, we then left the triangle route and explored on our own, and barely saw anybody. Makes a lot of sense for tourist focused countries to keep tourists focused on a particular area or route.
Is demographic transition actually a factor in life expectancy calculation?
>As a middle class member it would also be much easier to lose your position, just have some health issue and you'll see how fast it takes to burn your life savings.

I am currently in that exact position. I have very bad RSI and can no longer write software full-time. On better days, I can drive and do errands. I've spend roughly $40k out of pocket on treatment so far, and my COBRA health insurance runs out in a year. I had looked into speech-to-text, but now I have bad TMJ syndrome and talking is difficult. I'm honestly very afraid for my future.
I think you're wrong...

Life expectancy is computed by counting deaths per cohort and year. That is, the statisticians will count the number of people your age who die in your location this year, and the number of people one year older, etc. At the end of the year, they do the totals and compute that, say, 0.1% of people your age died at your location, and 0.1% of people one year older, etc.

Then they compute your life expectancy by multiplying those chances together.

People moving shouldn't affect that significantly, because this computation doesn't use the past at all. All the data comes from one year.

The big assumption there is that your chance of dying in ten years is assumed to be the same as people ten years older than you dying this year. The small assumption is that the population is assumed to be stable and countable within the present year (I suppose it's possible to work around that with more sophisticated statistics, though).
I don't think a simple endpoint in Python is any simpler than sending simple requests to an external API. You can do that even via Bash, Curl and Cron. Regarding iOS, using APIs improperly is one sure way to have problems with app review, see i.e. the recent Push Kit debate.

The abuse of drugs, often acquired illegally.

Listen, if this is going to be The Five Whys, save it for a preachier audience, prone to emotion.

Opiate use is not a concept that fits inside 140 characters. The most stunning reality, regarding the opioid epidemic is that it came hot on the heels of the incredible ravages of the methamphetamine/crystal meth wave that shredded many parts of the U.S. only a few short years ago.

People use the drugs because they catch a taste, and are shocked by the realization that they like it. It's suddenly not the spectre of evil, when a familiar acquaintance turns you onto something in a relaxed atmosphere. And it keeps happening, and it spreads, and spreads, and spreads.

Because there's an unrestricted supply. Legal or not. People make it happen. The people who acquire that taste pull hard, and the people who make money push it on them even harder.

The power structure that sits atop it all is a mountain range, with many peaks. Some peaks are beyond U.S. borders, in Mexico, China, Afghanistan. Some of it started with the global war on terror and the hunt for Osama Bin Laden, but we're way beyond that now, and the epidemic is a raging forrest fire, when considering the lit cigarette of Islamic terror flicked into the dry field of Afghan tinder
back in 2002.

New pills. New companies. A dehumanizing internet. Asocial people staring at smart phones, playing video games, avoiding human interaction in real life. Joblessness amid celebrity. Broken social norms. Ruined financial stature. Warped perception of peers and status. Both hopelessness and hopeful promise in equal measure, and drugs to help to forget the bad time and feel good, through it all, even if artificially.

One could write volumes. One could craft the career of a historian, regaling heraldry of a decade's new nightmare wasteland as people check out from a lifetime of broken promises by disintegrated peers, anesthetized by milk of the poppy.

> The problem is that there is no law that clearly empowers governmental actors to obtain court orders to compel third parties (such as equipment manufacturers and service providers) to configure their systems to allow the government to obtain the plain text

That kinda sums the article, but US Gov always finds ways to compel anyone to anything. Raw power. Takeaway is to be your own equipment manufacturer and service provider, as in cheap mini x86 boxes running open source daemons, over proxychains and VPNs. Rotate equipment, hacked wifi APs and identities monthly, use Signal on iOS and hide in the crowd, because if you're on the watch list, game is over. Cyberpunk at its best.

America seems in general to have a lot of stuff hanging over roads - like traffic lights, signs, electricity lines, phone lines - thing that the UK puts to the side of the road or buries underneath it. Maybe it's because American roads are wider so traffic lights at the side of a six lane road don't really work any more and they have to hang them up for the middle lanes to be able to see them.
To me, the key commands are only half of why I stay on Vim, and the half I'd be most willing to give up. It's as much about living on the command line and 10-15 years of having Unix a ctrl+z or tmux split-pane away.

I'd like to have some of the refactoring facilities you find in IDEs, but I'd prefer to have them as separate tools, commands you run, rather than moving everything into one window.

I don't think that it's "we think we know it". I'm absolutely sure I don't know as much as I need to about, say, SOAP (not my usual wheelhouse but current project requires it) and I'm equally sure I am really not curious about it.

I'm super curious, though, about a whole bunch of things that I really don't need to know anything about with any urgency. New SpaceX launches, how to build CNC milling machines, ultralight aircraft... I know plenty about these and it's never enough.

It’s not a binary thing, to have or not have a sense of self. It’s the strength of that sensation that matters: can you let go of your own shortsighted selfishness to let something else grow?

I agree with the point the article is making.

However, I would add that a developer (programmer) should be in the initial client meeting and project discovery meetings (if they even happen at all). If a developer is given a spec to build out a system they were totally in the dark about they have missed a ton of context.

This leads to a pile of unfolding requirements questions emailed to an increasingly frustrated client that feels all these questions are obvious and nitpicky.

At a certain point the developer just has to produce something with his best guess because hey other clients projects need done too.

Is it fair to put the blame on the dev? Maybe.
