Hard work always has to be accompanied by being aware of reality around you. Working for UPS I saw all the ways my job could be automated and I knew it was a temporary thing.

I think the hardest thing about our forthcoming economy is that the only jobs that are going to be left are going to be ones a lot of people can't even do because they don't have the talent or smarts. But at the same time a lot of very important jobs are being left undone because we don't value them. For instance: social work, psychiatric health and childcare.

Let's put our passwords on a remote server which convinces us they're secure. How did we even get here that such information leaves our control?
Humans are good at acclimating to different climates, it's one of our unique adaptations. The ability to perspire and regulate body temperature in extremes is somewhat unique to humans, as few mammals share this ability. Other mammals do perspire, but only primates and horses sweat as much as we do.
Maybe it’s a double bluff.
Exactly the same in spanish with "bayas" and "frutos rojos" (also sometimes called "frutos del bosque", which is "fruits from the woods").
and in South East Asia avocados are eaten as a fruit more than a savory thing like in Mexico. Avocado smoothies are delicious!

Also there are tomatoes that are much sweeter than your average USA tomato. In Japan they are called Fruit Tomatoes.
Disclaimer: I am a researcher in this space and also CTO of a company (Arwen.io) which builds cross-chain atomic swaps.

To me, one of the more powerful properties of blockchain-based cryptocurrencies is that they overcome a long standing impossibility result in cryptography:

fair exchange, i.e. atomic swaps, are impossible without a trusted third party [0].

Cryptocurrency-backed blockchains do this by modifying the underlying assumptions behind that impossibility result in two ways [1]:

1. it adds the assumption that at least one side of the exchange is trading a blockchain asset,

2. it the treats the blockchain holding that asset as a trusted party.

To someone outside the world of cryptocurrency this may seem like an odd set of assumptions. However if what you want to exchange is a blockchain asset, assumption 1 and 2 is very reasonable. Valuing a blockchain asset already assumes that the blockchain is trustworthy because the value and ownership of the asset requires a trustworthy blockchain.

A very cool result is that a party can perform a fair-exchange between a cryptocurrency and the solution to a problem in NP. For instance the ZKCP (Zero Knowledge Contingent Payment) protocol has been used to perform a fair-exchange of bitcoins for the solution to a Sudoku puzzle [2]. SIA coin uses a slightly different model to enable users to prove and collect cryptocurrency for storing another users data [3].

Taken to its logical conclusion, this seems like it would allow substituting information or math for currency. Could we build an economic in which hard currency is backed by proof-of-storage or solutions to problems in NP? When I was a teenager I read Richard Brautigan's poem in which a man replaces his plumping with poetry [4]. It was one of reasons I got into cross-chain trading research as it inspired me to think about how to replace cash with computation. Hopefully it works out better than for the protagonist of that poem who ends up living in YMCA. Brautigan, writing 50 years ago, captures both the promise [5] and downsides of information technology ecology projects like cybernetics and cryptocurrency.

The best way to get ahead is to inherit wealth.

The next best thing is financial services where you help people with their wealth management.

After that you have to actually start working. Intelligence is key and must be applied to a STEM field or a niche trade/business.

If you don't fall into any of the above things are looking grim. Careers that don't result in high yield profit are looked down upon.
I have a friend who once owned several old Apple A/UX rack-mount servers, plus a few NeXTcubes. Sadly, he had a fire in his garage that destroyed everything.

EDIT: Fixed ref to NeXT - didn't realize the NeXTstation was different from the cube - he had cubes.

Switched from LastPass to BitWarden over the weekend. I have 1,200+ passwords, and the transition was seamless. I even set up BitWarden on one of my web servers so that I can control my data -- even that took less than 30 minutes, thanks to BitWardenRS docker container.

The only thing I have yet to figure out for BitWarden is how to get a little icon to show up next to user/password fields in forms. I just have to right click and go to BitWarden (FireFox) to get there, which it just slightly more work. Still worth it.

Why would I pay $36/year (LastPass) for something that I can control for free?
The surprising thing to me was, following the link to "normal numbers", that this is called out as one of the only proved irrational normal numbers, even though it is proven that the set of irrational numbers is normal almost everywhere.

Most terms-of-service include a phrase the service can cancel for reasonable (sometimes for any) reason. Paying customers back is the easiest approach. For a new bootstrapped service that would be manageable (won't bankrupt you). As you said annual pre-payment is great but best to not spend it all immediately.

Setting up a help page pointing to similar services would be nice. Example https://www.mapzen.com/blog/migration/ And with GDPR in mind a way to export data. Also privacy related make clear who now controls the existing data (you personally is fine, deleting all is fine, some users worry it gets sold).

If you registered a company (UG, GmbH) then for tax purposes you might need to proper shutdown the company. There's processes and form for that and you might need to submit annual accounts for several years even if both income and expenses are zero. With German UG you're still personal liable should any customer demand money, let's say they sue for damaged and however unjustified you then have legal costs more than the company has on their bank account. GmbH costs 25000 Euro to setup so I assume with bootstrapping you don't go that route.

When we were still bootstrapped companies flat out asked us how long we existed (e.g. 3 months) and what guarantee there is we still exist in 6 months. It's a stigma but people have been burned with startups in the past.

Reviewing old code brings back memories. I've got stacks of hard drives but not the time to organize them unfortunately, and not all of the code is pushed to a remote repo.
Email is an incredibly vulnerable single point of failure. Plus the existing password infrastructure of the web isn't going away. Password managers are the best and most realistic option for most people.

> Engineers typically are more interested in: frameworks, languages, algorithms, performance, technology of the day, etc.

As a software engineer myself, I think I'd go mad if I had to work with fellow engineers who were that stereotypically one-dimensional. Frankly, even the nerdiest of kids whom I went to college with that chose to present themselves as such had broader interests than that. I got into this field myself because I liked solving problems and was half-decent at doing so with math and computers, which hardly excludes caring about customer experience, messaging, ease of use, and business value.

If I'm choosing to work at companies with products aligned to my interests and values, and if my day-to-day work actually matters to the success of the product, why would I not care about customer experience, etc.? The success of the product or project will ultimately reflect on me, so frankly, I'm going to have strong opinions about what work the PMs are trying to push on the team (maybe not literally push, but at least pressure) and how that work is then communicated back to the customers and stakeholders. The engineers who don't learn to give a crap about all that are setting themselves up as sheep.
I disagree with your definition of most.

https://electowiki.org/wiki/Majority

Maybe not the best source, but quite a few sites returned similar verbiage about most usually but not always referring to a plurality. I'm open to correction on this point, and am genuinely curious about this meta argument now. Having a hard time finding a statistical dictionary that references the words we are using here (majority, most, etc).
Most people access services from more than one device and are not capable of rolling, managing, and securing their own synchronized password database. That's how.

It's not the best option, of course, but certainly better than weak and reused passwords, right?
"it's reasonable to assume this trend will continue in future." -- except its not, that's why we had the 2008 crisis -- I can generate 20% returns 9/10 years, but on the 10th year I tank the whole world economy with my risky subprime bets.
If you are looking for something proven I would use django. It is easy to add new models and generate crud-UIs with django-admin. Django has many useful modules for extension.

Show HN: I collect 136 remote design jobs at GitHub, Chili Piper, Mondo, others
Hey HN!

During the period from January 13 to 19, I collected 136 jobs from popular job boards like Glassdoor, Flex Jobs, We Work Remotely, and others, as well as from Facebook, Twitter, and Reddit.

It takes about 3 hours a day to visit 78 sources that I prepared in advance. Here they are!

UX/UI Design Jobs – https://meerkad.com/remote-ux-ui-design-jobs

Product Design Jobs – https://meerkad.com/remote-product-design-jobs

Graphic Design Jobs – https://meerkad.com/remote-graphic-design-jobs

All Design Jobs - https://meerkad.com/remote-design-jobs

### Pros

Let's be honest, standard job boards - sucks! Look at the main differences between this list and those job boards that you could see:

- On average, five job openings for designers per week are published on each job board. I collect them manually and publish hundreds of vacancies during the same time in one place;

- No need to view all the job boards, I already did it for you;

- No need to register on all job boards;

- Job boards refer to each other. I collect direct links to the CV submission page.
Perhaps, but according to the Trump fans, the right-wing outlets are completely unbiased and trustworthy and don't have an agenda to push, and all the other ones are just completely making stuff up out of whole cloth.
I emailed RMS during the fiasco a couple months back, in support of him. RMS has always been an inspiration to me, and I've always had a lot of respect for him -- a hero to me, if you will -- so I felt I had to let him know the world wasn't against him, even if he couldn't reply.

He did reply and let me know ways I could help.

Privacy was freely given up by many when they were given the means to reach anyone nearly at any time and do some with even complete strangers. The amount of information many freely share with each other and even complete strangers would not have been possible without the internet and smart phones.

Then top it off with how quickly people are willing to surrender personal information for free or lower cost services. Privacy was given away for conveniences. People have already voted, they want as much as they can get for free and privacy is a coin they seen no value lost when trading it away. Worse many think that others don't deserve more privacy than they have because of some odd fairness perception, usually boiled down to that other group might be getting more.
Semi-related anecdote: when I was choosing between several grad school offers in math and physics, I visited a couple of top institutions, and at one math department I told the department chair about my dilemma of whether to continue in (pure) math or theoretical physics. I was basically told: look, if you graduate with a math PhD you'll likely find an assistant professor position right away, whereas if you graduate with a theoretical physics PhD you'll likely be looking at at least two terms of postdoc (assuming you're successful in both cases, that is). (I chose physics in the end.) There was one of the first instances of ideal clashing with reality for me.
> or possibly also during a time of very poor education.

So, you mean today? The number of students that take on crippling amounts of student loans without truly understanding how it will affect them is staggering to me. The ease of obtaining credit before a person truly understands how devastating 20%+ interest rates are is also pretty telling. Financial debt is easy to get wrong, and is only compounded by the fact we don't teach this as a basic course in primary schools.
That is a guarantee by an actual standard. More specifically, it's one of the things that POSIX.1-2017 guarantees but the ISO C standard does not. In practical terms this means that all Unix-like systems use the traditional fd numbers for stdin, stdout and stderr but it's possible that non-Unix systems might not.
I don't do the same very often, but here's one from 2015:

"Hi Professor Harris,

I still talk about how well your phonetic approach to Spanish 1 worked when you taught me over 25 years ago. Since email makes it easy to mention this to you, I thought I would."
Neuromorphism seems just to be an instance of Skleomorphism. Happy to see it back in fashion. I loved the styles. They where technically challenging, on another level as people typically "complain" about material design with its "micro animations".

There’s an open source DataHand project:

I believe that such system cannot fully process the data, as is written in that data's specification, without providing the type system that is in that specification.

The requirement for dynamic typing can either come from the language, or it can be "Greenspunned", or some combination of the two.

For instance, in that data we can construct objects, and we can write expressions which interrogate an object's type.

Thus, that is an example of input data whose processing requires dynamic typing.
Distributed Data Processing
That's a good point. I think of any given project as a CDO. There are good, productive debts and bad, stinking, potentially crushing debts in there. What matters is not that there is debt - I think there will always be - but what the blend is.

If the debts were thoughtful and deliberate with understood risks, they might make perfect sense.

If the debts were taken by people who couldn't evaluate them and had no business making that decision, it's going to be bad.

Odds are the first are well-understood and maybe even documented. The second may explode when the underlying assumptions or risk changes.

> I don't think anybody has seriously proposed that the British intentionally created the famine.

It has been. Mass intentional famine for the purpose of genocide. Even published by the BBC.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/thereporters/soutikbiswas/2010/1...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2019/04/churchill-policies-bl...

I'm surprised that people are unwilling to see the facts of the case. For example, take this quotation: "I believe in the ultimate partition of China—I mean ultimate. I hope we shall not have to do it in our day. The Aryan stock is bound to triumph." or another one like: "I am not greatly concerned about Russian development in China. I would rather have them develop in that way down south into India. Russia has a justifiable ambition to possess a warm water port. It is really embarrassing to think that 100,000,000 people are without one." . If you were to imply that the quotes were from Hitler, then everyone is happy to say yes, that's evidence of a desire and planning for genocide. But when they realize those quotes are directly from Churchill, all of sudden, there's so much waxing and waning and trying to protect his "legacy". The reality is those are the facts. Those are his quotes. Those are his clearly stated intentions. And the subsequent historical events of the famines are not mere accidents. Again, no one is alleging that "all the British intentionally created the famine", but to try to claim it was all an accident of nature and there was no desire for genocide at many levels of the British bureaucrats led by Churchill is patently a whitewash.

Cool product! I wonder if there would be a way to extend it / use it with my own existing notes, which are all markdown in a folder in plaintext.
Even in WAL mode, you can still get a SQLITE_BUSY error even when just trying to open a new connection. The application I worked on could not tolerate these busy exceptions so we had to acquire an exclusive global mutex before attempting to open new connections to sqlite and make sure to release it at soon as the operation was done.
Congratulations!

Two small comments

- Adjust your pricing. The difference between 1, 2.5 and 5$ is almost nothing. I'd suggest free - 5 - 20, or something along those lines.
- The buttons in the screenshot below: the ones on the second row should have some spacing above them. It's a typical responsive layout thing.

It's a good question. For me, lack of yet-another-service.
Yeah, there's quite the echo chamber on Hacker News, and most other tech-oriented forums. Everywhere else is full of "Nothing to hide" arguments and Alexas.
MIR is much more flexible. It's like CraneLift but more basic.

Anything you write in MIR can be compiled by MIR. Parrot only JITs Parrot bytecode, so the applications are much more limited.
> I expect more breakthroughs from deep understanding and modeling than ML

Huh, I would've said exactly the opposite. The feature space of the variations of amino acid sequences is so big that I wouldn't bet on breakthroughs derived from understanding. Most recent advances seem to focus on how specific sequence motifs interact with each other, which are generally only applicable to certain kinds of proteins, but not protein folding as a whole.

My prediction would be that next breakthroughs that push the field over the usability limit are derived from more general machine learning advances.

There is no “play” here. Pedantically correcting people isn’t fun. There is no humor in it. Puns require humor/play.

Also, correcting people to say that bananas are berries doesn’t even acknowledge a second meaning of berry. It suggests the meaning they know of is wrong. I’m aware we’re talking about a technical meaning and a commonly-accepted meaning, but the assertion is suggesting the commonly-accepted meaning is completely invalid.

+1. I think there is a level of fame, possible even for niche heroes, where you'll attract people because of your fame and not the thing you did to build up that fame. And interacting with people who appreciate you for your fame and not the thing you did seems draining.
