Welcome to era of the Digital Sharing & Discovery!

Hi everyone!

Let’s say you’re reading an article on the internet, a blog about tech, beauty or anything else on the internet, and, you find it interesting, you want to save it somewhere to get back to it later. Where are you going to save it?

Notes?
Bookmarks?
Tattoo it on your body? Not the best idea…

Listerlink.com – YES !

Our service allows you to save any internet links (Blog, news, youtube video, socials page etc.) to get back to it whenever you want…BUT it also gives you the choice to share it with other people, after all if you saved it -

You found it interesting… (Make sense, right?!), so they are chances that this link will be useful for someone else! (Of course if you want, you can keep the link private in our service..)

Now let’s get on the other side of our platform:

You can as well discover some interesting content shared by other users and structured by categories on our platform!

Our team wish you an amazing year 2020! Thank you so much for your attention folks!

Tips for Maximizing Your SoC
Great job!!! You are an inspiration.
I'm usually impressed with HN comments, but this thread is currently dominated by insubstantiated conspiratorial mongering against American institutions.
Computers don’t exercise judgment.
Have you noticed the "if" in the sentence you quoted ?
"Now you can code" means "Now that you've done this preemptive thinking, you can start coding the function."

It definitely was NOT written to imply you are a certified software engineer now : )
Thanks for the feedback. The site's growth model more like Wikipedia's growth model in that it grows by user contributions.

This is something that I need to better communicate on the site and explains why the site currently has some content, but not others.
The point is the productand therefore the revenue is scalable. Much more than a salary in a 9-5 job.
Computation is definitely not free. I spend a lot of my time avoiding non-essential computation as much as possible.

I actually would like more control in many of the current languages.
I would like to see a failure analysis report.
From the readme, though I find it a little confusing:

Note: Workspace is NOT:

WindowMaker with some patches.
WindowMaker with some good configuration defaults only.
Another implementation of WindowMaker.
It's written from scratch. Some WindowMaker code is a part of Workspace (as well as configuration defaults) to provide window management functions. It's tightly coupled with Workspace to provide seamless intergation. Configurable parameters of the integrated WindowMaker are spread across Workspace's Preferences and Preferences application.
Theoretically, Workspace can be used without WindowMaker. However, the current development focus is on a single application to deliver the best user experience.
Cf super delegates, This is what happened with Hilary vs Bernie right? I saw this in the last michael moore movie but didn’t really get it. What is being done this year so that things go differentv
It's just the start...
Agreed. Mindset / routine is important here - not just to get you started but also to separate home and work.

I wear office dress code most days (or some comfier version that is "nice-enough-for-video"). I work in a separate room, whose door I can close when the day is over. I've asked my family to text me or call just like they would at an office if they need something or want to talk.

When the day ends, the laptop and door closes, and my commute is short, but those subtle differences make it a change that works, and allows me to relax.
> "Parking lots have a 0 GDA, and so feel weirdly empty when walking. (So do parks, but one easily-calculable metric can't capture everything.)"

parks are welcoming, while parking lots are not, so you could also think of parks having infinite GDA, since you can just walk in anywhere (assuming no fences or other impediments along the perimeter).
What Makes You a Great Programmer on the Team?
I plan to store configuration data on an SD card for convenience.

If it wasn't clear yet it is my personal project, I don't plan to make product from it.
The WaPo story talked at length about the early media attention. What distinguishes the old information from the new information is that now we have documentation from the CIA itself.

Session – E2E encrypted messenger that removes metadata collection
Manhattan has almost no middle class people with kids. At most there are some upper middle class lawyers/bankers/programmers fighting it out over a handful of decent public schools. I don’t consider that functional or healthy.

By age 45, 86% of Americans have had kids. Out of the remaining 14%, half say they wish they had kids. Just 5% say they don’t want kids—a number virtually unchanged from 1990. You can’t call an urban area functional and healthy if it can’t accommodate the medium and long term needs of 80-90% of the population.
Blackberry should've focused on the high end segment only, I'd love to get a well build Qwerty keyboard phone.

What killed the brand was the huge discount they put on the 8* models that ended up in the hands of teenagers, remember that BlackBerry messenger was the one behind the London Riots.

> Why did the Washington Post rehash this story recently and pass it off as news?

They didn't pass it off as news.

It's a long-form journalism story. This form covers more complex stories and aren't limited to new things that just happened. Stories where the facts come out over time or require multiple perspectives can't always be adequately told through a series of "what's new" updates.

But, still, why? The editors of The Washington Post would have to answer that.

The timing is arbitrary. They could have done it months ago or months from now. The author most likely found it, thought it would make a good story and pitched it to his editors (he is likely planning to turn it into a book if it gets some traction). This kind of thing would be a normal part of a journalists job. (Well, most don't get to do deeper stories like this very often, so he's probably pretty senior -- I just checked and he has a couple Pulitzers, so there you go.) I would guess the editors simply agreed with his pitch.

In short: the timing is arbitrary. The people who do this kind of thing just thought it would be an interesting story to tell, in-depth.
Yet, despite various issues over many decades, the airline has zero fatal events where a fatal event is defined as a death of a passenger or crew member as a result of some sort of accident.
Maybe they’d have competition on the way here? I mean, if there is one intergalactic traveling life forms, why not multiple? Not that they have to be foes... but you can’t presume that they aren’t.

>Up until 1968, the United States was still using hundreds of seven-digit emergency telephone numbers across the country. In fact, some states, like Nebraska, had more than 180 different ambulance service numbers alone.

>The code 911 was chosen because it best fit the needs of all parties involved,” according to the National Emergency Number Association (NENA). “First, and most important, it met public requirements because it is brief, easily remembered, and can be dialed quickly. Second, because it is a unique number, never having been authorized as an office code, area code or service code, it best met the long range numbering plans and switching configurations of the telephone industry.”

Working in a different room (NOT your bedroom) is critically important to me. Sometimes it's fun to kick back and code, but the separate space that is yours, optimized for work, and assigned mentally to work is useful in that you can walk away from it and also leave your work behind. Going to bed at night with your laptop stashed close by does not inspire relaxation / restfulness.
620 blind schizophrenics should be enough for anyone.
They send sognals to be heard and discovered. Why would they try hard to disguise if it's meant to be heard by another civilisation?
Yes! An Android version is also in the works!
You would have to be adding that either US intelligence ops are so much more talented than Chinese ops, or that China is so much more principled than the US. Neither of which strike me as accurate.

If the US is doing it, China is at least TRYING to do it.
My understanding is that Kiva microloans also have very high interest rates, but haven't necessarily heard anyone critique their business model.

My comment might be unwarranted but at this point, considering Rust might be also an option.
Ok tech bruh, we can see why you don't get it. Might want to work on your empathy skills
The questioner is asking whose military escapades influenced the development of this Chinese classic on military theory. Napoleon's escapades probably strike the longest shadow on military theory books--both Clausewitz and Jomini wrote their books based on their experiences in the Napoleonic Wars.

It's actually an interesting question, given that the book is usually studied in striking divorce from its historical context, especially in popular analysis.
I've never implemented it, but their examples show expedited shipping and it looks pretty straightforward.

Unfortunately, their docs are explicit about discount codes, "Do not ask the user to perform any other tasks before presenting the payment request. For example, if the user needs to enter a discount code, you must ask for the code before they press the Apple Pay button."

WindowMaker is not unmaintained, for what it's worth.
It's harder to go from 0 to $4k MRR than from $4k to $40k.
That sounds far more reasonable. Still, that leaves hundreds of cases that either are not being diagnosed or simply fail to exist.

Indeed.

I haven't gotten around to using Wire. But when I've needed secure, private, and semianonymous messaging, I've used Tox.
I strongly dislike this move for a number of reasons. I don't use Google search (and this certainly doesn't make using it any more appealing), but wanted to chime in anyway out of fear that other search engines may feel an urge to copy this "feature".
My home town in Florida, and the town I just moved out of in New Jersey, think of street parking as a cash cow.
Subaru EyeSight uses two stereoscopic video cameras only: no radar, lidar, or ultrasonics. It was engineered to achieve the maximum possible safety improvement at minimum cost. And it basically succeeded at that, but it's very limited. Can only sense straight ahead, doesn't work at all in fog or heavy precipitation, etc.
No. That's my exact point. The CIA can't just get control of a company because they want to. Not that it's impossible, but there isn't a reliable mechanism for doing so.

They would need to somehow subvert key executives and subvert key employees to convince them to add back doors and keep quiet about it.

Their levers on such people (carrots and sticks, threats and bribes) aren't that easy to deploy either, especially en mass and in the US. There are a lot of legal hurdles. (The CIA has a lot more legal latitude outside the US than in -- that's very likely an important reason AG Crypto is a Swiss company and not an American one.) Not that the CIA always scrupulously follows the law -- they don't -- but they have to be careful about it.

I suppose you can just believe the CIA hits the "pwn" button anytime they like. But that doesn't have anything to do with the way things work.

Thanks for your support. I share your views too, which is why I am creating Mathpendium :)

Right now I haven't thought about a public API. I am currently focusing on how users use the site since this will provide good feedback for how an API could be used.

I think you make a really good point for the discover title, and I really like your suggestion. This is definitely I will address. Thanks for the feedback. It is really helpful.
The point is the process. The MRR that sustains a full time job doesn't suddenly appear from nowhere, and there aren't a lot of people talking about the "pre-success" data points.

I myself am much more interested in the data behind the people in the process of going from 0 to successful, even if they fail; not the hindsight blog posts about people who are already successful.
This was a valuable read.

I think a similar misunderstanding takes place with Hobbes's idea that the man in the state of nature lived in a war of all against all. There's simply no evidence that this ever happened, even though it has been used by Hobbes and others as a justification for the need of oppressive institutions.

I think that if we start investigating the conceptual underpinnings of things quite a bit of economical and political thought will prove to be essentially unfounded and unscientific.

This being said, we can't entirely fault people like Hobbes and Smith who didn't have access to the investigative tools that are now available. We can however fault today's social scientists who continue to build on faulty foundations instead of honestly reassessing their theories.
Tesla's autopilot has now actively hurtled their cars at full speed into concrete barriers on more than one occasion.

They really need to work on this, or they will ruin self-driving for everyone. This is basically a new class of collision, this is not the ordinary way people die on highways. If they can not avoid actively smashing their customers at over 100km/h into solid concrete barriers, on major roads near their company headquarters, then I don't know how they can make this feature so accessible to a broad customer base.

Well, you could think about it this way: its better to possibly leak data to a foreign interest if they don't work well with your country. Sure, they may have some data, but they wont share it.

> I should never bother to spend an extra hour on making it more maintainable if I expect that the cost of that decision will be born by one of my teammates.

If you want to be a team lead, though, or even just have people follow your lead, I find that not only do you want to worry about these costs, but you need to talk openly about them, and be seen addressing it. Most devs follow the ones they trust, no matter what title they have.

On all the projects where we tried to build people up instead of get shit done, we were consistently getting more shit done at the two year mark, if not sooner. Any idiot can ship a version 1.0.0, but it takes some talent (and luck) to ship version 2.3.0

From what I’ve seen, Postgres followed a similar model, and if you look at the performance benchmarks over time, it has progressively narrowed the gap with each major release. That kind of momentum is something worth sacrificing for.
I see. That is significantly larger than what I use personally, but at 12 times the area it does explain 10 times the cost.
Early days, no? Honestly, to me running my own thing, incl. the possibility of failure and everything else that comes along with it sounds like a way better proposition than getting a mid level 9 to 5 job. So, congrats to OP.

Fair enough if it doesn't sound appealing to you, I can totally see how that might not seem interesting for all types of personalities, but there are all sorts, right?

Either way, I don't think focussing on that figure and dismissing something like this out of hand, assuming others have the same priorities makes a whole lot of sense. I think the world would be quite a bit more boring if people wouldn't try out things, ignoring the temptations that come alonng with job security and all that jazz.
Loving the openness you are showing by sharing these numbers. Is there a list anywhere of similar Open Startups (TM)? :)
He only has 322 customers. Tech generally has good profit margins. The cost of hosting a server is cheap, and can usually accommodate up to millions of requests a second.

One of the risks of starting a start up is there is no demand for your service (among a million other factors for success).
The inverse square law pretty much guarantees we're not going to ever detect random emissions from some alien civilization. The only way to get discernible signals an interstellar distance is with highly directional transmissions. So if we were to ever detect a signal from an alien civilization it would be a deliberate one.

There's properties of coherent signals that would stand out significantly from natural sources. Even if the message looked like noise the properties of the signal would give it away as being artificial.

A directional signal would be a point source so a simple off-axis check of the receiver would tell you if it's a distant or local signal. In order to maximize ERP a signal would also likely be a very narrow bandwidth. If we have a long enough sampling of a signal it'll also show distinct Doppler effects of coming from a rotating planet in orbit around a star. An intelligent civilization would also likely use some universal mathematical properties in the chosen frequency.

A signal, even one densely coded with information, would stand out against the background of space. Even if it appeared as noise due to dense information coding it would still have a narrow bandwidth, likely some non-natural mathematical properties, and come from a source that isn't some type of known magnetically active phenomenon (pulsar etc).

A signal deliberately sent to other stars is more likely to look like the Arecibo signal than WiFi. It would take an infeasible amount of energy, enough to vaporize the transmitter, to send a densely coded wideband signal that would be intelligible a handful of light years out let alone dozens or hundreds.
The issue I find with "flexibility to work from home" is that if it's conditional / occasional then it's also an outlier, and you're not used to working that way. This is why most "telework" programs are weird - because people that are teleworking are seen as goofing off in their pajamas or somehow disconnected.

If you're fully remote then you need to behave that way even when you're in an office environment. Sure, have in-person meetings when you can, but make sure remote folks are 100% present and enabled, otherwise those that choose to work from home will be less present - even in a healthy WFH culture.

As for loneliness - a couple things help with that. First, get together in person for a week or so every quarter to link up. Second, you don't have to work from an office when you work remote. Third, working in the office starting out to understand the culture then going remote is helpful for networking / understanding the rhythm of those in the office if you do work with full-time office folks. Being within reach can be helpful but not required. I'm close enough to the office that I can go in for big meetings or in-person things without too much heads-up, but I'm not expected to be there, and I'm probably there once a month, max.

As for addiction - clearly you gotta prioritize to make sure that stuff doesn't destroy your life. If remote work doesn't work for you, definitely don't do it. Doesn't mean it's not magic for many of us.
If there's a workaround, it's ok. Users usually post workarounds in the thread.

This is in the FAQ at https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html and there's more explanation here:

If you're seeing paywalled articles where there was no workaround, please let us know (hn@ycombinator.com is best). But if you're seeing paywalled articles with workarounds, that's normal. Please don't post about it, since it's off-topic and has been discussed many times. We all know the paywalls suck. It's just that HN would suck worse without NYT, WSJ, Economist, etc., articles.
> For example, saw a bunch of people saying it was proof of misoginy the fact the bible consider menstrual fluids "unclean", thing is, that law was enacted when they lived in a mobile tent camp, if a person with a blood-transmissible disease washed on the middle of the camp water source for example, it could quickly infect everyone.

This is just purely ex post facto pseudo-scientific rationalism of rampant misogyny. If you want to be true to the statements made in historical sources (e.g., the bible), try to put yourself in their shoes -- in this case, imagine that you are a patriarch in a deeply misogynistic society that views women and children as property and not people. The reason for the law is thus completely justified to such a person: to them, menstrual fluid is gross and just another example of why women clearly do not have the full rights of a "real person".
He complains it is all parking, but there's solutions to that. Here in Santa Monica there's a whole row of public parking buildings a few blocks from all the popular downtown areas (beach, pier, 3rd street promenade, mall, etc.). So if you shell out the money, you can compress the parking into one block along the otherwise active walkable downtown area. In this case the developer must have just calculated it's cheaper to have parking lots.

As someone who grew up in Manhattan, though, I do kind of laugh that he considers that development plan non-walkable. I was always happy to walk across the island east/west and only took subways north/south, so his impossible to walk to shopping center part of the development looks trivially walkable to my Manhattan self...

Investigators said the log data “does not provide enough information to ascertain” whether Huang “was holding the phone or how interactive he was,” though it said “most players have both hands on the phone to support the device and manipulate game actions.” Huang’s data usage was “consistent” with online game activity “about the time of the crash,” according to the NTSB.
