Ask HN: How to convince my client to pay more?
I started working on landing page last week on fiverr. The task was to covert landing page design in html css with animation (mostly custom animation), and he told me if everything went well he would have more pages for me. He was a new client, so I charged $85 for this page with unlimited revisions. During the development there were a lot of things which weren't final from his side and I ended up working a lot with a lot of revisions/experiments for a single page. I even done some UX stuff which weren't in the scope of this gig, just to please him and gain his trust.

Fortunately, he likes my work and is very please with me. This page is completed now, and we are moving to other pages. But the problem is, I put a lot of effort in the page and now feel like I am being underpaid for the amount of work which I did.

How should I handle this situation and convince him to pay me more for the upcoming pages?

PS: I am from Pakistan and link to the landing page can be found http://bit.ly/2QrYKqE.
This may sound hyperbolic, but world wars are full of risky hacks, when things are dire. It's good to have them on napkins in back pockets, just in case.
Seriously? There are approximately 1 Billion cotton swabs in this country (U.S.). This is not the issue. The issue is gross federal gov't incompetence.
Don't know why this was downvoted - it's one of those things that's a huge pain to retrofit.
Yes it's misleading, I suspect purposefully. The cost of green unroasted coffee cannot be compared with "global coffee revenue" ... roasting makes coffee lose 30%, then you add packaging, shipping, labor to distribute ... finally the cost of coffee cup adds in service, rent and more ... you buy a kilo of green arabica for $4 after roasting and shipping you're on $8 ... so sell a cup in a cafe let's say you make 20-100x per kilo yet cafes are still the thinnest margin business and most go bankrupt.

It's equivalent to saying the oil producing companies only get x% of global car sales. Simply, ridiculous statement.

The base problem is that it's Prisoner's Dilemma.

If nobody hoards, everyone is fine.

If a small number of people hoard, there are stock-outs, and everyone else has no access to the thing.

Ergo, the strictly dominant individual move is to hoard ASAP. As it provides coverage against all scenarios.

Limiting quantities is the obvious equitable response to this, so it's been good seeing retailers step up and do so.
This this this. YOU DO NOT NEED A KIT. You just don't. The kit is just basically a small tube of Trizol reagent that you can just buy by the ton, and oligos that you can order for overnight delivery, in a nice fancy package.

I've always wondered how an infosec specialisation could contribute to this kind of organisation instead of working exclusively for massive companies. I just have not seen the possibility yet I guess.
For most businesses forced to comply, that seems like a feature, not a bug.
A passport generally doesn't even indicate where someone lives or has lived.
I promise that I have never asked for a notification or a pop-up.

Very few people ask for a specific implementation of a feature unless they want you to clone something they've seen elsewhere. People don't do that.

In user focus groups I've been in though users have told me that they find it hard to know when they need to pay attention to something, or when they've been tagged in to something, or to know when a server side task has completed, or when a long-running webworker process has completed. All of those things are obvious use cases for some sort of notification, and when the feature has been implemented users both enable them and click on them.

Heck, I got a Google Calendar notification pop-up while I was writing this comment.

The problem is that you don't want notifications so you want them to be removed from browsers and then no one gets notifications even if they want them. That's not reasonable. The answer is that you need to be able to block them easily; to turn that feature off for yourself. This exists (in Chrome) - chrome://settings/content/notifications You can disable them for all sites. And yet you'd rather complain that they exist instead.
Marketing, I guess: message queueing and RPC are conceptually quite different, although it looks like zeromq has a request-response mode designed for this.
I think there's a much simpler and more powerful way to describe the relationship: Google are digital pimps.

Ha ha. Professionals are needed to design it, test it, and validate it. All of which can be done in a day (or two or three to be fair). THe "professionals" who actually administer these types of tests at your average quest or labcorp testing center are not highly skilled workers. Most of their training involves how to fill out paperwork.

I find this attitude unrespectful and not very productive.

In all these threads, many of us try to explain why we find this way to write software convenient, readable, and powerful. Then, people who do not even consider giving it a try, make comments like yours. This does not create a good atmosphere.

Yes. You can buy a PCR machine for about $1,000 US. You can build your own agarose gel box for about $100. THe power supply might be tricky, but probably not. The CDC has published all of the primer and probe sequences. It is trivial to run the assay yourself if you buy the PCR machine and a few water baths for the RT and DNAse reactions.
> The issue here is every death is attributed to COVID-19 if the virus is present even if the actual reason is some other underlying health condition.

That what you claim provably doesn't happen. Even old people simply don't die that fast otherwise, and we also have the data of the people who can't breath and have to be admitted to the hospitals: there were never that many cases before, happening that fast:

Rebuttals take much longer to write.

Assuming that two endpoints are using the same or forward-compatible schemas, there's no "assumption" involved: if you sent a message of type T, it gets decoded as type T. There isn't protection against inauthentic messages, admittedly.

Would you like to cite an RPC scheme that meets your definition of type safety.

Totally wrong. Take a sample out in 15 cycles. Take a sample in 30. Run a gel. Compare. Done. Most of the issues you think exist are because an RT pcr machine cannot distinguish between primer-dimer and pcr product. A gel can distinguish.

Have governments made orders (legal or purchase) for manufacture of ventilators by large scale companies?

Presumably ventilators are a relatively niche product - what's in them that the World's industrial complexes can't ramp up production of within a couple of weeks?

I imagine it's the pumps that's the limiting factor? Given humanity already has the working tested, established designs.

Can't governments requisition the design, turn the original factories in to test only, or construct and test, centres. Instruct the mega-corps, publicly, which parts they are to make and by when ...

In the West we throw away tens-of-thousands of highly engineered products every day; surely we can step up now?
The failure to use the same vertical scale for the graphs or provide an overlaid one is infuriating. So all the bar charts look identical and you have to read the scale to pick up subtle factor-of-ten differences?

It is definitely not the same hardware, just because it has a couple of AMD CPU/GPUs on them doesn't mean programming is anything like a PC.

You are missing the way the CPUs, GPU, audio controllers and DMA channels are actually layed out, the low level programming aspect (console OSes are pretty much like bare metal programming), and how their GPUs offer capabilities and shading languages differ from mainstream hardware and hardware agnostic 3D APIs.
Looking at reviews of those, I get the impression that although you get the performance, you lose the size / battery life / cooling. Yes, the gaming laptop is more powerful, but you probably want a laptop to sometimes work in public. With the gaming variant you end up with extra space for heat exhaust, lose the efficiency, and your hardware sounds like jet engine once you go over 50% CPU.

I don't mind the idea of notifications when I have a web page open in a tab. Like, sure if I receive a message while I'm looking at another tab, let me know!

But I was a bit shocked to discover that I was getting notifications from sites that I did not have open, then I realized that when I register for notifications the browser will continuously poll that site in the background, no matter whether I've browsed to that site in this session or not. That was when I decided I didn't want any notifications.

It's not even the interruption, but more the knowledge that my computer is casually making HTTP requests in the background, continuously, on a site I haven't even browsed to, that I don't feel comfortable with..

I would really love to make one of these for myself. This would be my first Raspberry Pi project. However, I'm a little to scared to even step into it because I'm not a hardware guy at all - I wouldn't know which pins from the display goes where. I can solder stuff, but I'd need help figuring out what goes where.

Second scare is about how to get the software onto Raspberry pi W. In the past, all how-tos I have read just say "flash it" and go on to the next cool step, but I'm lost right there.... how to get the software into the thing? - SSH?

My point is, I'd appreciate a really beginner friendly write up of your project. From the parts list, how to connect everything, and how to get the software on to it. I'd pay for such a tutorial rather than the finished product. I know it is your time that I am asking for, but I wish you found time to spare to help a beginner like me.

I think that's the key point there. Light themes are good in light, but bad in dark situations, and vice versa. "Most" people prefer light, because they use their computer mostly in the light. Many programmers etc. prefer dark because they use their computers late in the dark a lot.

These are basically two "modes" of use, but software has been treating this as a preference, rather than a mode switch.

Through a set up of PowerShell/Bash scripts, I now have global dark/light mode switches on all my devices and I feel like this is the first time I can really use them effectively in all situations. Light when there's light, dark when there isn't. I even switch on the train as it goes through a tunnel. IMO, this is how it should be used, not as a set-and-forget preference.
In terms of feeding their own sense of importance.

Opinion is mine. Apologies to GP if I twisted their metaphor into something much less charitable.

Yeah the doubling time confuses me too. All the numbers from China, Italy and the Netherlands (where I am at) show the number of deaths doubling every 2 days upto the limit.

But even our dutch government is claiming it's 4 days standing in front of a chart where it's obviously 2 days.

After you reach the limit it's hard to count because people stop going to the hospital that can't take them in anyway. At that point you should just consider any increase in deaths compared to the normal the result of Corona. Wether it's a cancer treatment that got postponed because of Corona or Corona itself.

Seems crazy that the "Scunthorpe Problem" still rears its head after probably more than 25 years.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem]
Gettin somewhat astray from the original intention of the arcticle:

Macroeconomics still proclaims the BIP as the ultima ratio to measure economic performance. The BIP has been invented in times of extremely dire social and economic conditions, where deficit spending has been considered as the last resort to prevent a nation from collapsing. It proved to be a meaningful number during and after WWII where living on credit was somewhat necessary.

BIP measures growth and favors deficit. But we know that unbounded growth is neither healthy nor possible. I think the biggest problem is that we still try to shoehorn every economy into this single number, while it would make more sense to switch to another measure, depending on the operational mode a country/economic region/social system is operating in.

Maybe change operational economic mode according to the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kondratiev_wave ?
Couple of protocols that would be nice to benchmark for comparison:

If they removed the DRM, they'd get a lot of resistance licensing shows. As long as content-producers insist on DRM, Netflix has to use DRM.

I believe their licence terms are also the reason you can download some Netflix videos to your phone/Windows 10 machine, but not others.
Reducing quality is fine, but they should reduce the price in line with that.

the biggest fear is the handling of the samples and the possibility to get infected. Is there a way to make this completely automated? I know institutes in many countries have asked to perform PRC but the part of submitting samples en masse is the most critical, and labs need safety level certification for dangerous viruses. Drive-in submission is a solution, but sample depositories are even better

> Yes? That's exactly what people are doing when they import a dependency written in Typescript into a pure JS project.

Except that in this way they also lose good typings for any other library and for their own code as well. I understand an outdated definition file can be annoying, but there can be various ways to only ignore type definitions for that specific library.

> My claim is that Typescript does not solve the problem of joining a project with poorly written, undocumented libraries.

That is a problem that no language or tool can solve.

> You started this thread by asking how JS devs could manage 3rd-party interfaces without Typescript.

No, I didn't, you're confusing me with someone else. Inertiatic asked at the beginning of this thread

"Who are these mythical people? [the developers who never make typings mistakes] Do they just magically decipher what interface an argument conforms to? What methods are accessible on a returned result from any random library they're using?"

Then the thread proceeded by 1) ignoring the first part of his question, about having to remember signatures in general, including of your own code; 2) interpreted "random" in a strictly negative way, as if it meant "any junk library" instead of "every library".
