Unless you have more invested than you’ll plausibly need to withdraw, in which case your investment horizon can be longer than your lifetime. (My investing horizon is ideally more based on my future grandchildren’s lifespan than my own.)
Simply not feeling you must deal with the situation right now.

In the UK for example, the normal beat police do not have guns. If they approach a situation where they feel in danger, they're trained to back off and call for either more backup or an armed response. Turns out most of the time whatever the issue is will still be there when backup arrives. On the other hand, if it's a simple issue, they can just deal with it and there's a much smaller chance someone gets shot.
You can't go more than five minutes in NYC without seeing a gun on the streets.
if you have an old phone sitting around you could have the download apps on that and extract the apk's, then install them on your main phone. there are certain apps you can get in the fdroid store that will download apps from the play store, I can't remember the name of it.
Didn't Steve Jobs usually greenlight 2 or 3 teams to design then just pick the most promising one to go to production?

Sometimes it makes sense to have a bit of competition, but having multiple prototypes (often with slightly different design parameters - e.g. a reliable design, an advanced design, and a moonshot) is a better competition than having managers attacking each other with passive-aggressive Powerpoint shows in a conference room.
I believe the person was talking about shutting his own service down, pretending as if he was copying ScrapingBee for educational purposes.
Why begin with the assumption people are violent and irrational due to a random 911 call?

But to answer your question directly, there are tons of simple things you can do, from body language to tone. They aren't really a mystery to figure out either. Start with empathy and asking how you can help.

Like I mentioned above, Patrick Skinner distills this succinctly with "how would I solve this problem without my badge and my gun?" and in particular, using the example of if your next door neighbor asked you for help with some minor crisis.

Treat your neighbor that lives rough the same way and it's amazing the difference in reaction you get.

Assuming violence is necessary from the start becomes a self fulfilling thing.

I pay extra money for Apple computers is specifically due to these security controls.

I spent decades building and running my own computers and I’m not interested in doing so anymore. I own the device that I buy, I knew how to turn off these controls and didn’t bother during the outage, and I generally refuse to do so. In return, I don’t have to deal with all the weaknesses of the liberated computing approach that you frame as the only optimal outcome.

Apple’s restrictions liberate me from having to spend time on fully-liberated computing. I’m glad liberated computing exists, but the idealistic view that all computing should be that way is harmful to my life’s priorities.
I had the same. Although, i only use up to 3 minutes, so the second dial is very innacurate to my needs. Who puts a microwave on for 30 minutes!?
Ah yeah, I forgot to mention that part. Contractors have to pay for a weekly subscription to the drinks and fruit.

Don't be me - at work c. 2001 - heard about a colleague who was "vegetarian" but ate fish and sometimes chicken... I wanted to create a pseudo-scientific name for this way of eating. I was thinking something along the lines of eats some meat but predominantly vegetarian.

So I opened up google and typed "Latin meat" - the results did not translate to the latin for meat!
Isn't TSMC building a fab in AZ? Anyway I'd say the "spice" in semiconductor production is rare earth elements, since the CCP controls most of their extraction (and has artificially lowered exports in the past)
You could argue that SOPA and PIPA were more like "stopping the buses from taking people there", although these analogies are rarely exact.

> Matrix is 100% open-source.

It's still astonishing to me that people think that open source somehow has any bearing on the issue of:

> Nobody can say what the server is doing nor what it is harvesting which could be very dangerous.

Thats still true, whether its running open source software or not. You cannot inspect the running code on a server, except, now you have to trust a whole federated mob of servers.
The Best and Worst Microcontroller SDKs
So you made a biased decision about a candidate based on where they worked rather than evaluate them on their ability to perform in the role relative to other candidates?
The UX for mine almost gets it right...

If I hit 1,2, or 3, it will cook for that many minutes with some (very minor) level of 'sensing'; If you hit 3 when you meant 1 you're still gonna get a dry brick still, but I don't find myself having to 'fine tune' my cook time to the second.

However, I never remember the right order of events to specify a power level, because this thing apparently lets you pre-program multiple cooking phases (e.x. 6 mins at 50%, then 3 mins at 30%).

And honestly, it would probably be a great feature if they didn't skimp out on the screen or buttons.

I'm imagining something where either the buttons light up (for example, to clarify whether I'm setting Power level, or Time) or a screen that doesn't feel like it came out of a 1980s LED Calculator warehouse.
The low contrast gray font is obnoxious; the font should really be about twice the size if they're really committed to using the color.
Matrix is currently using JSON+HTTP because it was the easiest to start with, but it's not something that the protocol actually depends on. Matrix is more of an RPC system, so the important part is the definition of the methods and the message. You could use any other transport and framing protocol... As they have actually done in experiments (see https://matrix.org/blog/2019/03/12/breaking-the-100-bps-barr...)

The thing is, with widespread high bandwidth internet and little funding they have to have priorities and while minimizing the number of bytes sounds interesting, it probably isn't more important than say smoothing out the user first experience
btw - Caro Numquam is what I came up with
what the hell -- this seems like such a random component to make and share on hacker news.

what's even more bizarre is that this is _exactly_ what I've been wanting and even dreaming about all week. the exact same stack (react, d3), component interface, and even the color theme. in fact, I'd go as far as to say whatever I would have made would not have been as well productionized.

After playing around with the csb a bit, here are some thoughts:

* looks great! documentation and read me is great too
* is there a way to change the max fps? frames become apparent on the onset of the animation when the starting and destination needle position are significantly distant
* some of the `InOut` animations are jarringly "shaky", like `easeBounceInOut`

also, just curious -- what was your motivation and use case for building this?

Nerd here. I don't care to sign up for a chat service that my friends aren't using.

I did look into matrix, but either I have to host a server myself or I will forever be stuck on one other guys server, right? Then there is no reason to move to it and it is not really anymore federated than email.

One of the interesting comments in that article was how they pinned limited width of x86 decode implementations on variable instruction length. There are obvious code density benefits to the x86 variable length approach (especially in immediate encoding), but I guess the need for realignment creates long critical paths on the frontend. I wonder if the more constrained variable instruction length of RV64GC (32- and 16-bit instructions only) will be able to similarly scale up to 8-wide instruction decode like Apple has been able to do with AArch64.
I was my own OpenID Provider for a while, but quit because nobody supports it anymore. It was great for power users but super confusing for laypeople.
It's both. Dispatch calls it out and sometimes police show up, sometimes they don't. The main thing is the team is focused on solving the problem vs controlling people while ignoring their problem.
Unlike NVIDIA, which is a “Software Company That Produces Chips”. And unlike Apple, which is a software company that sells hardware to run that software.
could you scrap the need for live traffic by just leaving 10 minutes earlier than you need to? or do you live somewhere that has really complicated traffic?
Maybe that will just make PCs better now that Apple isn't buying out the best chips.
Listen to some 911 calls sometimes. People are often screaming, panicked, crying.
I recommend avoiding a role of "Splunk Engineer", particularly in the long term, mainly because it's a narrow role that is likely to become intolerably boring and limited quickly.

While Splunk is rather good, I don't think there is enough depth and value in being a Splunk expert to sustain a whole career (like being an expert of SAP or C++ or some popular DBMS).

CTI is one of the good uses you can apply Splunk and many more tools and methods to; if you want to be a CTI expert you should transcend your current Splunk focus, or you'll be the "hero" who keeps Splunk running despite budget problems and maintains the data sources and dashboards that someone actually important asks for.
> "Cut API load time by 50% with optimization of Hibernate queries" is true, but also ridiculous.

In my experience it's absolutely not ridiculous (improvements should be measured by impact, not LOC) but it could still be improved by conveying the benefit to the company or API consumers.
Does MicroCovid still not factor in families and children? That was just one glaring hole I found with their model.
It's a step in the right direction, but it's still centralized. A lot of the work done by the Indie Web community around IndieAuth[1] is really attractive. Your identity is your domain, and you can change how your domain says you're allowed to authenticate. Now you can even use sign-in with google without getting locked out should you loose your google account.

Aligns really well with using your own domain for email instead of gmail.

If I have a choice, I'll never have an over the range microwave again. A counter microwave costs like $30-$100; over the range units cost like $400+; and they get really gross.
The lack of the Google Play store isn't actually a problem on LineageOS, because you can use Aurora Store from F-Droid to download any desired apps from the Google Play store. The issue rather is that even if you get those apps indirectly from the Google Play store, many of them will refuse to run on a device that lacks Google Play Services.

> There are a bunch of other buttons, but I didn't bother since I don't use them anyway.

Last time I asked my friends which of those extra buttons they used in their microwave, I found it amusing that each one responded with a completely different thing.

HackerNews, do you use any of those extra buttons in your microwave? If so, which ones?

I had a similar problem. I used Google to sign in on digitalocean, then I changed the main domain in google apps and readded the original domain seperately on Google Apps. But probably because some kind of ID mismatch, I was now unable to sign-in on Digitalocean with the original e-mail address recreated in Google Apps. Password recovery didn't work either, for some reason digitalocean doesn't do password reset for accounts that were created using Google sign-in. I was forced to create a support ticket with digitalocean and wait.

Before everyone grabs their pitch forks....as someone who does telemetry tracking devices, 350megs/mo is pretty easy to do and send nearly 0 data, if you do it wrong....let me explain:

TLS connection setup is ~10k so if do an 1 HTTPS call/telemetry that's 48 calls home/hour. (11,600/10k = 1,160 https connections/day. There's 1440 minutes/day) Of basically calling home every minute and sending not much.

Ok calling home every minute...but maybe when idle that's not bad for notification updates?

We run long do running TLS connections using MQTT, this works for 5-6 figure of units. And our actual usage when we have good cell coverage is around 25megs/mo, including data. But when you have the qty Google and iOS have....maybe that's prohibitive?
Congratulations on launching it. However it has me more confused than anything:

How is this better than a shared google doc? maybe I am not the target audience, but I also don't get what the value proposition is.

Hopefully you will have great success.
Over time the digital dials go a bit rubbish and sometimes jump up and sometimes down and all over the place as you try to dial it up. I have to revert to using beep beep beep on mine to build up the 30seconds.
Author here. You're right, there was a line missing. That's now fixed. Thanks for spotting that.

To address your other points: in just about every Elm application I've ever worked on, there was an initial ambition to separate and encapsulate things nicely, for reasons of safety or Clean Code or some other philosophical ideal.

Then requirements change (which is normal and good — businesses change and evolve, and the product should mirror that). Then you discover that oh, you need a bit of state from one page in another. Oh, and modifying the state of something on one page should affect this other page. Hmm… Why does this view function now take seven arguments?

Your final paragraph hints at the kind of engineering that inevitably begins to appear as a workaround to solving the wrong problem in the first place. All of it is extra complexity that doesn't need to exist at all.

> The author's approach has data for every page of your app stored in the model at once, and available to every other page. Also, any page can edit the data for any other page and send messages to any other page. That makes me nervous.

Why exactly this emotional reaction specifically? Does prior experience with bad surprises in Elm give you this intuition? Or is it from experience from a language like JavaScript where global mutable state is indeed something to be wary of?

Thanks for asking! SeeLink makes your links sharable, searchable, and easily readable (as it displays each link in the form of a card with a title, description, and image). It also allows you to write text around the links using a tag, and has a ton of link specific features that make it easier to share links. These include creating specific boards through which you can add specific links to share with specific people. I think these are the main advantages that SeeLink has over something like Google Docs. Let me know if you have any further questions!
At least for me, Matrix has not been a very good experience. It is very bare bones compared to programs like Discord and has been pretty glitchy in my experience with things like mentions not working reliably. My friends and I have instead set up a self-hosted Mattermost instance which has everything we wanted like self hosting for privacy, a great bot API, easy channel management with the ability to reply to specific messages, and it has a simple way to self-host file uploads. Mattermost is also much more performant even though both Mattermost and Element are Electron apps. Mattermost also just has a much nicer end user UX in our opinion.
I’m skeptical of the closing claim that exponential growth keeps happening forever. Yes, you can grow GDP 2% for 200 years, that results in an economy 50x the start size. Expand it to 1000 years and you’re talking about an economy 400 million times as large. After 2100 years you’re up to an economy a QUINTILLION times as large.

At some point the exponential curve has to go S-shaped. Maybe we’re still in the happy exponential looking part of the curve. There are also signs we might be transitioning. Population growth has slowed, productivity growth has slowed, and the marginal return on capital seems to be somewhere around zero given modern interest rates.
very true. I was considering a narrower case. I think the key here is your own horizon (however near or far you see it)

Me. I cook mostly in the microwave, so I program it typically to 25 minutes and more, until a meal will be finished.
Hosting is still better than registering with Google/FB for several reasons:

1. Registering with email is not usually an SSO. Authentication is using password and email is used only for recovery. Your won't get locked out of other services even if email server fails for some reason.

2. Hosting providers usually engage customers much better than ad and social media companies. Chances of getting your service back up with customer support assistance is much better.

3. In case the hosting provider locks you out without recourse, you can always move to another provider and point your DNS records there. For this, it's better to have a different company as registrar and hosting provider.

4. DNS so far is the least affected/abused online resource. The chances of you getting locked out of your domain name is low, unless you fail to renew. They give sufficient warning as well. Let's take advantage of that until companies decide to wreck that.

> There should be a better and more resilient way to identify people online in 2020!

I don't think that's an accident. The choices and freedoms available for authentication seems to be diminishing with time. It was possible to specify the authentication provider a decade ago.
I didn’t know about the 175MB from Apple. That’s quite a lot
> What I want is a Maemo-based phone.

I liked my Nokia N900 and kept up for a while with attempts to keep its Maemo going after Nokia abandoned it. However, a decade later Maemo has bitrotted and its dev community has dwindled away. Nowadays the Phosh interface (i.e. the Librem phone, or Mobian running on the PinePhone) is seen as the most promising Free Software choice in the long term. Sailfish OS is also actively maintained, but its UI layer is closed source.
See a therapist, please.
The idea it's recommending a 3600 over a 10600k for a thousand dollar build tells me there's a slant...
I discuss this pretty deeply in my indie founder bootcamp but the main point is, if your revenue goals are something like $20k/month (and not to build a unicorn) then one of the lowest risk decisions is to try to get a very tiny percentage of a “proven” very large market.

The reason is that getting a few hundred or a few thousand customers in a proven market with millions of customers is a very achievable goal over a few years.

No need to compete on price, just compete on great customer service and support. Be someone that your customers know and like and love dealing with.

And of course you do need to make a great product and find a marketing channel(s) to reach that small segment of customers.
Yeah, tech has a starting salary advantage but FAANG just doesn't compare on the upside. What's the top 10% of FAANG outcomes (for Harvard grads) after 5 years? 500k, maybe? The jump to MD in finance makes 1M+ something like 10-20% of outcomes (for Harvard grads) after 10 years. I'd be very surprised if it were that common in tech (over the next 10 years, I know that it was better in the 2000s). I think quickest to MD at Goldman was 4 years.
Out of how many police-citizen interactions? The raw number is meaningless without context.

Oh wow, now the title has been changed again! Here are the different versions the title went through:

Never Use Google to Sign-In
Never Use Third Party Auth to Sign In
Don't use third party auth to sign in

I guess a another moderator had a better idea at what title will attract more attention.

Given the number of comments, the duration at the top of HN, it's clear that this post (including the title) hit a nerve with many people. But the moderators in their wisdom chose to reduce its reach by watering down the title; twice! Compare the 3 versions of the title so far, which one do you think resonates with most people? If they had chosen to add other prominent offenders' names (Facebook, Github, etc.) I wouldn't have minded a bit; that would have been a better use of the space the title takes up.

But they chose to first generalize it from "Google" to "Third Party Auth" (casual reader: eh, what's a third party auth; who are these people? what's auth? is it authentication, or is it authorization; I guess that's too generic post so I don't care, <keep scrolling>), and then replaced "Never" with "Don't" and lower-cased the rest of it. I don't expect the general population of HN to take my, or anyone else's, advice at face value, but think about the problem in their own context, how much it affects them, how much they care about the problem, and if they agree with the proposed solution, and to what extent.

I'm sure that by watering down the title's efficacy, the moderators have lost opportunity to educate many of the HN readers.

People write content to share their ideas, and they want people to pay attention, because the writer thinks it's important. If the moderators' changes help in that goal, no writer would mind. But in this case I am sure these changes have hurt the chances of spreading the core concern.

I find it offensive that my judgement in choosing the title is being questioned, even though most of others agree that the original title was appropriate, in general. Thankfully, I went with my gut to write the article on my own Blog (and link it here) even though it was 3 short paragraphs, rather than post the original content here. The original title and content will stand there, without fear of someone else's ability to alter it.

Someone else's platform, their rules, their whims; no recourse, as with other platforms.

To self: Shut-up and get on with you life, you have already wasted inordinate amount of time on this.
