Please see my response to other comment and stop chasing me. Jesus Dang, it feels like you have something personal with me lately. If you want a date, just ask for it instead.
Exactly this. It uses all the dark patterns similar to sites like techcrunch. Is the incentive so big to have these trackers enabled?
Yup, and they have to do it like that because spamming links in comments no longer works because most commenting systems add a meta tag to the links so that search engines won't follow / consider them for ranking.
Our Squeezebox is still going as well, but with most using iOS devices at home, we’re not able to control it anymore because the app was discontinued. Does anyone know of a solution for iPhones?
> cheating

I see this getting discussed a lot but having studied in the US, Africa and Europe, let me tell you that the reason it seems like Chinese students cheat a lot is because Americans don't cheat. Cheating culture in countries like France for example is prevalent compared to to the US. So yeah, it's not really a Chinese thing, it's a non-American thing. Students in foreign countries are usually not representative of the ones back home.

When you write a blog article (wordpres, medium and co), any link you point to will automatically get a notification that it's been linked to by your new article.

You can sometimes see list of comments each with a backlink at the end of a blog article, it's generated from that.

The only 2 valid reasons I have come across for using microservices based system architecture:

1) There is a codepath in the application that has radically different load characteristics.

2) We want to give each team in the organisation ownership of (most of) their stack, release cadence, SRE etc.

(2) seems like an attempt at engineering but is often about management - empowering the teams yada yada.

Samsung Profit Forecast Indicates Limited Coronavirus Impact
The HN FAQs [1] state that paywalled articles are OK as long as there is a known workaround so everyone can read it, even with a little effort.

Someone usually posts a link to the workaround in the comments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22800580

It's not ideal, but better than banning every site that might ever have a paywall, which, aside from leading to the loss of a big chunk of quality content, would create confusion relating to the fact that paywalls behave differently based on regions, previous site visits, click origins etc.

So it's the least-worst solution.

Also, blog comment systems these days often feature automated spam filters.

(Or petty bored admins like me; back in the days I had a wordpress blog, I once looked at the spam links I was bombarded with, identified the SEO company responsible, then went around them and mailed a customer of theirs, informing them of how their business is being promoted. It ended up with that customer dumping their SEO provider, which I found immensely satisfying.)

I got a new job not long ago which has given me a lot of time to both learn and come up with a new application; I'm learning a couple things on-the-job:

- Go & its entire ecosystem
- Packaging & deployment via RPM
- Layout & design a web ui (this was done by someone else in my previous jobs)
- Personal project management (I'm a one-man team atm)
- Code generation via Swagger
- Architecture & technology choices and documenting them as I go
- Working from home full-time (not by choice) and staying productive

No one would be endearing to someone who walked up to them and shouted in their face to demand attention. Spam is exactly like that, but as email.
I quite like this article, but I disagree with the conclusion, although my opinion is actually in the body:

"... And when the thread is short, possibly just a single email, it's easy for the receiver to see the context, and to know to what you are replying."

So, in short threads, top posting is better for both the writer and reader. I think calling it "procrastination" is infair -- procrastination is about delaying or avoid tasks which will have to be done. Top posting is "agile" -- why put extra work into something now, which 98% of the time will never been needed?
It'd be nice if it seemed like it was subsidizing anything, but university costs continue to balloon out of control.
I don't recall exactly, but 250 mg Nevaquine (Chloroquine) would sound about right.

I was merely responding to "many people would prefer to run the risk of malaria than take it". It is simply not true. Even paracetamol at high dosage can kill.

It is a very well know medicine. There are too many people repeating that it is dangerous without understanding the actual context. So, sure, at very high dosage for a very sick patient it can become dangerous. At low dosage on a daily basis I would (and have) take it instead of "running the risk of malaria".

Anyway, it is Hydroxychloroquine that is prescribed nowadays for malaria, so not only the comment is spreading FUD but it is also not talking about the right molecule.

Baseline, don't self-medicate based on what you read on internet and consult a real doctor.
I would like a detailed analysis to solidify my opinion. On one hand, some argue that accepting foreign students means there are fewer slots for native ones. On the other hand, some argue the higher tuition paid by foreign students allows universities to subsidize the cost of tuition for natives. The first group responds that foreign students only create increased demand and thus increase the cost of tuition and that even if universities were able to pass savings on for native students they choose not to do so.

I want numbers on these arguments.

HN is the last place I expected to find this, but thanks! The anglicised use of the word "spomenik" really caught me off guard (I'm from Slovenia), but it makes enough sense after reading the article.

A transistor is of course also an analog component.
I think you're missing the important point.

When the thread is short, possibly just a single email, it doesn't matter what you do. In-line, top-, and bottom-posting all cost about the same.

I disagree when you say:

> in short threads, top posting is better for both the writer and reader.

In short threads I still want to read top to bottom, I still want to see the context before the reply.

In a short thread, in-line posting (provided your client supports it) is (a) the same cost, and (b) is future-proofing your thread.

It's in-line posting that's "agile", not top-posting.
I've never really understood why so many geeks/nerds/techies complain about top posting. It's simply a stack instead of a FIFO.

The Pro Controller is a fine controller and sees a decent amount of competitive use in the Smash scene.

The octagon gate on the GC controller is advantagous for Smash and other games that benefit from precise directional inputs... It's to the point where there are Pro Controller mods to add an octagon gate. The Pro Controller analog seems to wear out faster than that of the GC controller and it's a tricky replacement to perform (on an already expensive controller).

> Cheating culture in countries like France for example is prevalent compared to to the US

There is no more a culture of cheating in France than there is in US, that's preposterous. I can't let you say something like that. On the other hand there is a culture of cheating in China, which you can't possibly put on the same level, the amount of cheating you claim there is in France and the fact that Chinese institutions do not care about cheating. If you get caught cheating in France you won't be allowed to pass any official exam, like a diploma, for 5 years. France takes cheating very seriously.

Neither would I classify MK-Ulta that way: "Techniques included the covert administration of high doses of psychoactive drugs (especially LSD) and other chemicals, electroshocks, hypnosis, sensory deprivation, isolation, verbal and sexual abuse, as well as other forms of torture."

Or the releasing of biological weapons (MK-Naomi): "at least three covert techniques for attacking and poisoning crops that had been examined under field conditions."

Or Operation Notherwoods: "to both stage and actually commit acts of terrorism against American military and civilian targets, blaming them on the Cuban government, and using it to justify a war against Cuba."

Or the Tuskegee experiment: "The purpose of this study was to observe the natural history of untreated syphilis; the African American men in the study were only told they were receiving free health care from the Federal government of the United States."

The list goes on and on and on and on.

Now I have two questions:

1. Is the sort of thing ever outsourced to, for example, India? Or wherever else is a common place for call centres if it’s no longer there.

2. Is anyone currently doing this with chat bots and speech synthesisers?
Because often an email has more than one point to which you need to reply, and neither top-posting nor bottom-posting lets you reply to all of them with their context.

That's probably a contributing factor to why people only ever answer one question you ask in an email, and rarely reply to all the points raised.

In-line replies would go some way to fixing that.

Imposter syndrome or just not sure where to go? If it's the latter, there's a structure to enterprise deals that you can usually follow.

1st uncover the buyer journey with some form of this question: "Just so I can help plan accordingly, let's imagine your company decides to move forward, what does the purchase process at your company look like?" Try to unearth all the steps they need to go through (is it out of their personal budget, department budget, VPs budget? Are there other groups we'll need approval from and what does their process look like? (IT, Legal, etc). How long does it usually take to close a purchase and get a vendor paid in your firm?

The goal is to uncover the end to end process that results in $$s early so you can plan accordingly. If the process takes 18months and requires deep IT and Legal approval - make sure you're priced high enough to absorb the pre-sales time & labor.

And when pricing comes up - if you have a well established market, then price within the norms (your champion isn't using their own money, they're using the company's - they just need to justify the cost). If the product is a new category, price the product to organizational value. If your product reduces the number of sourcing staff or multiplies their effectiveness - a typical strategy is to show the business impact. Perhaps Salary of HR hires saved + number of good hires * impact factor on business (whatever works best to show $$s of impact to the business). Then charge a fraction of that value yearly.

There are a bunch of great books on enterprise sales, but 99% of it after showing value is uncovering the purchase plan and helping nurture your champion (and possibly others) to accomplish the sale to their internal stakeholders for you.

And as a previous commenter said before - don't worry about pricing it perfectly. Fit the budget they have today and readjust next budget cycle or during next year's renewals.

Best of luck!

I tend to read email threads in order, so I already know what the previous message was. I don't want to have to scan past it to find the new content. If I do need to see the previous message, it is there below the new content.

I think this is just a disagreement on reading order -- I want to see the reply before the context, you want to see the context before the reply. Unfortunately, without email gaining more structure/context, we can't both be made happy.
