Folks! Some time ago, I created a tool for my own use, which sent cold emails to potential customers. It served me basically for everyday work.
Sending an email, then - when contact was promising - retrying via LinkedIn and exporting to CRM. I worked on it, hoping that one day it would see a full-paid version and I will start making money on it. Looking closely at the current situation, I thought that such a tool could be perhaps useful to others. It is a pity that it is locked up. That's why I decided to release it as an open-source solution! Simple license, open code, absolutely free. I hope it will be useful to someone! If anyone wants to use, please visit https://meteoremails.com. If someone wants to join the development of the application, it is waiting on GitHub - https://github.com/catin-black/meteor-emails/
Cheers!

How did blue cities get to this point? An interesting observation here is that while the police forces are supposed to represent the populations they serve, the police unions (FOP) endorses Trump and so clearly takes a stand against that representation in "blue" cities.
I believe this is a common problem, but >99% people never get any scrutiny.

This is pretty weak.

It mentions redlining, quotes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but then mostly argues that Twitter's filter on Trump's tweet made it spread wider, the reverse of the action they wanted, implying they did the wrong action, or that it would not work in the future, which is pretty bad logic.

The tweet became more notable because Twitter has never done this before. It got reproduced because it was the first time Twitter did it, not because people wanted to read the "shocking tweet". If twitter were to do this often, or dump Trump, we'd stop talking about it again. Cf Milo.

And then it ends with this whole "The internet is the new industrial revolution, and that is both good and bad" thing. Kind of like, Ben couldn't stop himself from Internet Thoughtleadership for a minute. After 4 minutes of commenting on Race in America he had to go back to musing about Platforms.

I get it, you want to (and can!) tie it in to your expertise. But you just kind of failed at that.

You could talk about the huge tech titans making it worse: Amazon's Ring doorbell, the $10B JEDI contract with the DoD, Facebook's extremist groups/lack of moderation, Twitter not banning Trump the first time around, the Adtech industry in general pushing surveillance everywhere it can, to gather datapoints. Or the way tech has made income inequality worse. The homogenous makeup of the tech industry. The social construction of "nerdiness" as whiteness. The tech industry (and everyone on the Internet)'s unquestioning acceptance of the capitalist approach, and only being accessible to people with money and app solutionism.

But instead it ends with "I am hopeful there are fewer gatekeepers, and can therefore see racism more clearly now". Like, that's it?

Ask HN: How did your startup get its first users?
Lots of answers, and I still don't see anything valid for a 5 person startup--2 of whom are executive types.
Can I just point out that I don't follow anything Trump says on Twitter, but because of the Striesand effect I now know everything about the tweet, what it said, what people think it said, and what it's effects were.
I see, thanks. I tried with another friend, I keep trying to verify him but I keep seeing a spinner "waiting for him" and he sees nothing.

I'm going to give Matrix a few more years to mature and try again then, I think.
The author pretty much proves why Apple doesn't listen to any of the ranty feedback from Apple lovers (not to be confused with Apple users)

The author time and again says he'd pay for this feature or pay to not have the touchbar, whereas he could have put his money where his mouth is and bought a Thinkpad or XPS or Latitude etc.

He's doing himself a disservice by continuing to buy Macs and we're doing ourselves a disservice by up voting articles like this one.

Scrapping age relates to when the car is no longer worth repairing after an accident. In the US many cars also get exported when their not worth keeping in used car lots. Still a huge number of older cars are on the road and many of them are far older than 25 years.

The only gesture input the Kinect could recognize reliably was dancing. I don't think that says much about the appeal of gesture controls in a system that can see finer movements. As a counterexample, iOS and MacOS have a lot of gestures which aren't based on real world motions, and people use those all the time.
There’s no reason why some selected politicians should be immune to the rules of the platform they have chosen to publish their speeches. Otherwise it would create a form of political censorship for their opponents which aren’t allowed to post something similar. If you want to know what kind of regime the impunity will create, just look at modern Chechnya.
I'm trying to imagine my boss's face if I asked him to give me specific feedback. Maybe I should.
Hm. I'm fully aware that I'm currently turning into a bearded DBA. And I may be just misreading the article and I probably don't understand the article.

But, I started being somewhat confused by something:

> Fortunately, I had access to a large-memory (24 T) SGI system with 512-core Intel Xeon (2.5GHz) CPUs. All the IO is memory (/dev/shm) bound ie. the data is read from and written to /dev/shm.

> The total data size is 329GB.

At first glance, that's an awful lot of hardware for a ... decently sized but not awfully large dataset. We're dealing with datasets that size at 32G or 64G of RAM, just a wee bit less.

The article presents a lot more AWK knowledge than I have. I'm impressed by that. I acknowledge that.

But I'd probably put all of that into a postgres instance, compute indexes and rely on automated query optimization and parallelization from there. Maybe tinker with pgstorm to offload huge index operations to a GPU. A lot of the shown scripting would be done by postgres, the parallelization is done automatically based on indexes, while eliminating the string serializations.

I do agree with the underlying sentiment of "We don't need hadoop". I'm impressed that AWK goes so far. I'd still recommend postgres in this case as a first solution. Maybe I just work with too many silly people at the moment.

Welcome to the world of macOS! Both MS and Apple went insane with their creepy security imposed on "unknown" developers. Use Linux I guess...
I don't have them reversed, EXIM is indeed far easier.

Postfix has a high learning curve; the master.cf vs main.cf and the "chaining" of email filters (milters) is a lot more of a hurdle than exims comparatively simple configuration.

The issue is mostly that postfix is installed by default more places, so it's the default, much like sendmail was. And that setting up an MTA is quite difficult anyway.

It's basically an accident of history. But both are fine in their own right, neither is inferior to the other, just trade offs.
Oh wow you're really stupid. I'm calling you an American-hating foreigner who doesn't read any media that doesn't originate from your own country.
Hi, this is a difficult problem but I've been working hard on it for a couple of days with some help. I have a pipeline and website that automatically transcribes scanner feeds that is working pretty well, and the website allows users to correct and vote on transcriptions.

My goal is to train my own models on the corrected transcriptions (I work in the speech recognition space) so I can transcribe many live feeds inexpensively.

I will respond with a link here (hopefully very soon today) once I've fixed a couple of remaining UX bugs.
I feel that this sort of problem exists because people like you are WAY to embedded in this niche to feel like you can talk about it any other way.

The website looks really pro, but its just technobabble. And that is coming from someone who has a fair bit of understanding but little practical experience in 3d. There is no on-ramp even for those who are fully capable of understanding it.

GLTF2 needs to be explained, and there needs to be a practical example of how the product is used that someone's grandmother can understand.

Or which of your neighbors the ruling class want to destroy/subjugate, as we have seen recently.
It's not under an open source license, though. Any idea why?
> The only definition from that page that is not related to some extremist marxist/anarchist movement is this article

Why is it important for you to filter some definitions out?

> And even that one uses the logo of the Antifaschistische Aktion. None of the other historic Antifascist movements described in that article are in any way relevant today.

There are historical reasons that explain why Antifa caught up as a name, what logo activists use, etc.
The abbreviation did not change, it still stands for "anti-fascim actions" today, or "Antifaschistische Aktion" in German.

But you are saying Antifa is synonymous, ie. equal to "Antifaschistische Aktion", not for what the words mean, but in a literal way, to restrict the definition.
No matter how the name came to life, the spirit behind it is broader that the name; nowadays it is a perfectly fine shortcut for anti-fascism.

I mean, dictionaries tend to agree on this one:

Hey, just wanted to say thank you. I'm in the Twin Cities (Mpls/St Paul MN) and I've absolutely been on Broadcastify for hours in the last week. On Friday/Saturday night things were getting pretty wild near my house, and being able to hear where dispatch was reporting incidents was really helpful in being able to calibrate my sense of personal danger, to be frank. Just sitting on the front porch listening to the scanner and watching for cars with no license plates the last few nights... and using what I hear on the scanner to try to convince the guys with their impromptu militia that they ought to at least sit down in f*(&ing lawn chairs to indicate they're local instead of pacing around after curfew looking like the very folks we don't want to see (they had the police dispatched on them 3+ times).

Broadcastify, Unicorn Riot, and some select trusted sources on Twitter have helped me understand much better what is going on as these protests unfold.
source on the looting part?
I think breaking the TOC should be applied universally across the board. But you can't write the TOC that picks sides (I don't think violent statements are acceptable by either side).

My fear is that there are people on Twitter asking to ban President Trump's account. Slowly, eroding constitutional rights (I know Twitter is a private platform, but come on, it is really a public place of discourse). Right now its violence, then it's hate, then it's policy and the environment, then it's anything against democrats. We become blind to what's acceptable and what's not.

This is a slippery slope. Be careful, tread slowly.
Don't know about Paris, but no looting in Amsterdam...
There are videos of people carrying property out of shops en masse. You are delusional. An officer was shot in the back of the head, a black pawn shop owner was killed by looters. The only people practicing tribalism are on the left who encourage everyone to identify with their own tribe (black, gay, etc.) instead of identifying with each other.

You are ridiculous.
>Be careful about publicly disclosing this information.

Why, what do I have to fear about that in the United States?
That's your take-away from all this?

You really felt this comment needs to exist?

It's interesting what some people's priorities are.
The expectation of the public is that police should prioritize deterrence and investigation of property crimes above assembling a massive show of force to deprive peaceful protesters of their 1st amendment rights to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition government for redress of their grievances.

Cops that are busy kettling up protesters for later official intimidation and violence are not available to respond to crimes happening elsewhere.

Business owners are better off with insurance, alarms, and dedicated private security that won't abandon their protective duties every time they feel like pepper-spraying a liberal in the face for no apparent reason.

how is it bizarre? people naturally want to show solidarity with the cause in the US, it's a massive deal for the whole western world.
I misread your post at first because, once upon a time, portable meant that software would work on Linux _and_ other platforms.
Admittedly, I have no pocket constitution, but brisk search only talks about peaceful assembly, which riots are not.

Besides, you completely ignore the "who can be where" point.
I just sent in my late-2011 MacBook Pro for LCD and keyboard replacement. Still refuse to touch anything that has a glassy surface for a keyboard.

Don't be such a hardass that needs to escalate every perceived disrespect of your authority.

There's a reason why New Orleans has had relatively few problems with these protests. It's because the cops are experienced in huge gatherings of people doing stupid but ultimately harmless shit (e.g. Mardis Gras) and police not flipping their lid over it.
> if it was actually legal to just produce your own copies surely we would see tons of printing shop specializing in very small printing runs that minimize costs

what would they print? they don't have the original "master" file for the book, scans look bad and take time and OCR-ing a scan is error-prone

honestly i don't find this convincing... i think if small-scale printing made economic sense (and was something people want), you'd see bootleg books, despite the illegality. digital piracy is mostly illegal and that hardly stops people
It's me, I'm that guy. I absolutely wanted a Thunderbolt port on my laptop and paid for it, and how often have I used it? Never.
> I don't particularly care what the standard is for disposing of unwanted military hardware is so long as it's not a double one. A civilian police force should get no special treatment above any other civilian entity.

Agreed, the NFA needs to go and every citizen should be able to purchase military surplus.
Take a look at CUE (https://cuelang.org/). It allows for backwards compatible config files, among other things.
Ah, so I guess big US social media might be gradually segregating into broadly ‘left-wing’ and ‘right-wing’. First in regard to the degree of curation, then to everything else as the users flock to their choice platform. Can everyone really have an account on FB when it's ‘supporting’ Trump's bullying? Or on Twitter when it ‘censors’ the president? Easy choice!

Only foreigners who don't give a damn will be free to use both FB and Twitter and any other platform as they see fit.

Since Washington DC isn't a state and doesn't have a governor, the National Guard there reports to the President - so yes, Trump did send in the National Guard.

Curious, is there any traceability to verify the published code is what’s published to the app now or with updates?
Apple went down a very interesting path during the interregnum years from 1985 through 1996. It was a beacon of creativity where some of its engineers worked on projects that offered new visions of personal computing that empowered the user without requiring them to be full-fledged programmers. HyperCard and AppleScript are examples of such projects, and the Knowledge Navigator, while not an actual product, was one of Apple's visions. I also find OpenDoc to be quite intriguing; OpenDoc would have introduced component-based GUI software to the mass public. Users could perform tasks by mixing-and-matching components and applying them to a document.

It would have been really cool to have seen Copland and Gershwin in its completed forms, but sadly as creative Apple was in the 1990s, its management was a mess until Steve Jobs returned, and so Copland never saw the light of day other than a few developer releases.

I am grateful for the work that Steve Jobs did at NeXT and for his amazing work returning to Apple, saving it from possible bankruptcy, and making it the juggernaut that it is today. I've long been a fan of Mac OS X. However, parts of me miss the Apple of the 1980s and 1990s, where the engineers and researchers there explored ideas of how to make personal computing better. I feel that the personal computing experience for desktops have been stuck in a rut for nearly 20 years, with some aspects actually degrading rather than improving.

But projects such as Snakeware give me hope that we'll see desktop computing move forward. I'm actually working on a side project where I'm creating a Common Lisp-based desktop environment inspired by Lisp machines and OpenDoc that can run on Linux and the BSDs, but I'm in the design phase and I'm far from writing any code (I've been studying up on graphics programming since part of this project involves writing a new GUI toolkit). There is still a lot of room for innovation on the desktop, and as you said, Unix isn't the last word, even for programming.
That's not a good analogy of my beliefs. A better analogy would be: If a supermarket that has a monopoly on cakes (and it's agreed that eating a variety of cakes is best), and the billionaire owner of the supermarket prefers vanilla cakes, the billionaire owner shouldn't be in the business of refusing to sell other cakes besides vanilla. Especially when they are accepting federal cake money, and have special federal cake protections in place to protect the billionaire owner. And when freedom of cake variety is the First Amendment of the country where said supermarket exists.

I agree they have rights as a private business, but things change when they're a defacto monopoly and they start messing with the 1st amendment at their leisure. Anti-discrimination laws fit the same mold as this topic (i.e. impact what private businesses can do), are you against them being in place? The frustrating thing from my perspective is that the SECOND something impacts a liberal, they are flimsy-floppy with their beliefs....I'm sure I'll be referring back to this conversation in a few months when the tables are turned and I hear a Karen complaining about it impacting them.
this is still more or less how the US Air Force operates
Depends. The current standard in the US is "imminent lawless action", which bans "kill that guy now", but allows for "he should be killed"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imminent_lawless_action

>Advocacy of force or criminal activity does not receive First Amendment protections if (1) the advocacy is directed to inciting or producing imminent lawless action, and (2) is likely to incite or produce such action
what I learned is that successful people know how to leverage resources to achieve their goals.

smart people focus only on polishing their own skills, but that doesn't scale.
I thought there were some open source speech-to-text models already [1].

Maybe there's something unique about how these low-quality radio transmissions sound that make these ineffective?

...and that is pretty worthless in the grand scheme of things, especially when it's trotted out as "poor people make dumb choices, glad I am not a dumb poor person making dumb choices". Some of the worst gambling offenders are rich people, who have gambled away multiple lifetimes worth of money, they just happened to have the net worth to take the hit.
Question 1: That is a reasonable way to build and install. I normally structure things like this (https://www.reddit.com/r/NixOS/comments/8tkllx/standard_proj...) where the Nixpkgs-compatible derivation is in derivation.nix and the default.nix or overlay.nix contains the "callPackage" portion.

Question 2:
including such a derivation is easy with overlays or with the method above.

drv = import ./path-to-derivation.nix;
package = pkgs.callPackage drv {};

or something similar can work. Overlays would be slightly more re-usable, but would take a few more expressions. I'd do that if there are multiple packages you need to introduce; I normally use overlays to manage groups of interdependent packages, a "meta-package".
Thank you. What about decentralized platforms such as Mastodon? Don't they have the same problem?
Sounds like the slippery slope fallacy. The argument isn't being made to remove all posts from all members of a certain political party or ideological background. It's not even to remove all posts by a single person. It's to address and, hopefully prevent, posts that incite violence and unrest.

Literally every platform, including HN, has guidelines around what should and should not be allowed when users contribute. Having those rules defined is great, but enforcement is what makes sure the rules are followed. For a long time, and perhaps still, Twitter was selectively enforcing those rules to users. Facebook seems to be doing the same. Twitter finally applied those rules, rather loosely, to Trump via a couple of minor footnotes to his posts (not censoring at all). Then Twitter put a soft censor, meaning it was still viewable though not through normal user behavior, on a post that very clearly incited violence. I think the fact that these platforms have gone so long without enforcing their policies to this particular person has given the impression that there are no policies and no enforcement and, by extension, that they're open platforms accepting all speech. They aren't, never were, and as private entities are not beholden to be.
> The only thing that annoys me is when you release updates to the default configuration file and I have to manually resolve the differences in the middle of an APT upgrade. That's not a big deal though.

Deploying with docker will eliminate this kind of issue.
