I disagree with that. Private companies should be able to remove apps from their store. However, we should make it more possible for alternative stores to be available. Side-loading (including on iPhones) should be a protected ability, not government officials deciding that Apple can’t ban white supremacists from publishing hate speech apps on Apple’s App Store.
But it does mean that your app needs to make $8.33 a month, whether via ads, in-app purchases, cost of the app, or all of the above. On Android, an app doesn't have a floor. You could make a free app, with no ads, and not have to make any money.

As someone who had countlessly saying [0] this to at least to either setup a self-hosted Git repository or use that as a backup almost a year ago since GitHub made teams free [1] I do welcome anyone moving from GitHub to a self hosted solution.

There are are several open-source software projects that have been doing the same thing but on a self-hosted solution. GitLab instance like (GNOME, GTK, etc) or cgit (wireguard, Linux, etc) and so on. ReactOS has a backup mirror of this in case GitHub goes down. [2]

We really need to get away from the idea of 'centralising everything'.

Honestly if I were advising someone, with apologies to Dijkstra, I'd tell them not to worry about the CS side of things until they could make programs. Way easier to approach that stuff as someone who already is comfortable with programming basics.
FYI: In 2009 a 88-year-old white supremacist started murdering people in the Holocaust Memorial Museum [0]

That period was also heavily dominated by Islamophobia in the US with firebomb attacks on Islamic Centers and random brown people getting assaulted and called "terrorists".

Heck, a mere 4 days after 9/11 happened a Sikh was shot for being mistaken as an Arab Muslim due to his turban [1]. Which actually makes no sense but hate rarely does.

Yes, they don't think about it directly, but this is what is responsible for how long they need to work to make a dollar. I thought that is obvious... Essentially in the legal market, the more you work, the less you get thanks to progressive tax.

For the same reasons Khamenei can tweet that an entire country is a malign tumor and needs to be removed and eradicated and Twitter is still in the stores.

Indeed, some realism to the coronavirus aftermath has been lacking.

If the vaccines do reduce hospitalizations and ultimately deaths, then we can live with it and can forget about vaccine passes and restrictions.

Getting your optional and yearly coronavirus booster is a likely and realistic outcome of all this.
You're right on both counts. The mechanism of implementation will be very close .. which is what is in the proposal too.

Having programmed in Erlang, I feel that the notation (i.e. syntax) influences moment to moment thinking. So if there is overlapping notation between method invocation and message passing, I expect increased opportunity to code and design incorrectly, resulting in subtle bugs.

Making "async message passing" syntactically explicit and obivous clarifies a lot and prevents expectations of calling other methods, facing compiler errors, or worse having to deal with specified behaviours that may not be what I had in mind.

Edit: one example of this confusion in the spec is the whole part about inheritance in actors ... which looks like a terrible idea to me.

Not if you want to use a repository template.

Also we can argue until the cows come home about how little effort is actually involved. It could literally be a single click and it's still all still by-the-by. This is an empty virtue signal doing nothing - repeat nothing - to help the inclusion of minorities.
>>> What I do not hear anyone talking about is that the biggest reason for the spike in power was ERCOT adding cost to the market prices in order to entice generators to get more power on the grid quickly.

>> Wow, that's free market thinking gone mad. High prices can't conjure power stations out of thin air on short notice.

> Except it can... With high enough prices businesses requiring power will shut down because it's more profitable to shut down and sell the electricity you no longer need than it is to stay open.

> The key thing stopping this working well is how few people who have the ability to do arbitrage. If I run a Subway shop...

Nope, sorry. For one, that's basically a fantasy. Few business, and certainly not little sandwich shops, are going to have electricity traders on staff to jump at once-in-a-lifetime arbitrage opportunities (we hope). If sandwiches shop owners are spending their mental energy being ready for electricity arbitrage opportunities of the sandwich business, we're living in a dystopia. Secondly, apparently the high prices were meant to "get more power on the grid quickly," not encourage shuffling the grid's insufficient amount of power around market-style. Your idea doesn't actually solve the problem.
That seems like a completely valid point: Can we still use the terms master/slave when actually discussing the atrocious history of slavery in America? Why are these words considered hateful? They are useful words that describe a concept very clearly.

That's absolute best case for panels producing peak power at all daylight hours. 500 miles/year is more likely for a car parked outdoors away from shade during all daylight hours, based solely on panels not being at peak production. Then there are cloudy days, shaded spots, garages, tunnels, overpasses, dirt, bird poop. Then there is the difference between estimated miles and actual miles based on real driving habits. Then you have to consider any potential body damage that could occur, that will at best reduce the solar gains and at worst render the system useless or total the car.

If a car in a real scenario get more than 3% of it's miles from these panels I would be surprised.

Where “radical candor” is wrong for feedback
Does anyone remember the Something Awful forums? One thing that set them apart was charging $10 for an account. People balked at the idea of paying to post on an internet forum but it kept out the spam and crap other forums were inundated with.

Edit: I doubt perma-banning via CC number would be as effective a tool now that things like Apple Pay and virtual credit card numbers exist.

Yes, some big names here: https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/

Deep fakes won’t be any worse for the world than photoshop ever was. Until we have any reason to believe that deep fakes are actively misleading anyone in ways that actually matter I think it’s fine to ignore the problem.
I'm more curious how investment of carbon credits (the only source of profit) which are soon to no longer be required by their competitors, in speculative bubbles (e.g. Bitcoin) which are primarily fueled by Chinese coal plants is accounted for. I'd love to have coffee with their Master of Coin.

>We are still very early in this, but I will "take the bait" since monetization seems to be an issue that people care about.

There's no 'bait'. I don't have issues with ad-supported or subscription-supported services. I do think you should set realistic expectations, namely, today you are 'zero-cost' and 'ad-free' because you're starting out and need to get users for your social network. This is how every social network started as well. At some point, that will change because you have bills to pay.

>A percentage of revenue is I think a fair option.

Can you elaborate on that?

>A question for you:

I actually have no issue with the linkedin model: Free/ad-supported tier, and subscription tiers for those who want extra functionality. I'm not sure about taking a cut of revenues. That would be a logistical nightmare unless you're also the payment processor.

>Google Play is mostly a pyramid scheme. Developer's can only make money from showing ads and at the same time can only get downloads if they place ads on other people's apps. And Google just happens to own all the mobile ad companies.

Most businesses fail because they don't get customers... that doesn't make starting a business a pyramid scheme.

App stores are super saturated with apps, there's the reason you can't make money. If you can't and choose to use ads ... that's your business decision...

Sometimes I think the issue of fees and other issues including poor customer service from google gets tied up with the difficulty of even just making any money on the play store / a whole glut of apps that straight up most won't make money no matter what happens.
That's why for most people HN isn't a site with a downvote button.
Ah sorry that wasn’t clear.

We had a PHP app with MySQL and built out our new user management and billing in Django with Postgres.

I created SQLAlchemy models to map the PHP MySQL tables to Python, implemented the Django password hashing steps in PHP and let both apps access both databases as we slowly ported things to Django.

It worked very, very well even given the complexity. And running migrations all from Python kept it all in one spot conceptually.
Nobody is saying that X isn't good.
Everybody is saying that X is good, but Y is much better.

So if you want to make a productive choice then go for Y, not X!

At the very least, if you are going to choose X anyway stop trying to persuade everybody else to choose X with you, when they are already focusing on Y. That's just attention-seeking behaviour.

You are extremely uncharitable. There's no point of engaging you further.
That seems fun. I have a kid who might love to play with one or two hooked up to the sound registers.

Edit: I know what I am going to do. My granddaughter is 5.

I am going to write a little basic program that reads these cells wired to a couple paddle ports. I have one set I can take apart for this bit of fun. We have two hands, which makes for a perfect pairing.

https://www.atariarchives.org/ecp/chapter_5.php

Press a key, and something happens on screen. Maybe the color changes with the sound, or it says, "Hello Kiddo", whatever.

And the registers, math, change.

A couple hours on this should lead to interesting time watching her interact with it all.

Thanks for the inspiration. Should be fun. Now all I have to do is get a program into that Atari. Might finally be time to get one of those SD card devices for my Atari, or a FujiNet. Something.
I manage a team of programmers who reside all over the world from the USA and Canada to China, India, Brazil, and Eastern Europe. All as full-time employees. We don't do contractual based outsourcing as I have found that that the work products from that type of remote arrangement have been disappointing.

As more companies settle into the remote thing, I think you will find that salaries for English speaking, US time zone candidates who don't have visa complications will level out to "Average US values". Some of the highs we see on the east and west coasts will likely drop.

That said, most EU candidates are in a tough spot with respect to getting a coastal US salary. In my opinion, the biggest impediment to a larger remote salary for EU candidates is that there are several Eastern European countries with excellent programming talent pools who look to be compensated relative to their peers not my peers.
I wonder if the alleged China made 25000$ model will change that.
The risk/reward ratio on junk bonds is much worse than that of stocks or normal bonds.

If you want less risk than stocks, just titrate to your desired risk level using a ratio of treasuries and stocks.

Fore example, 80% stock, 20% bond gets you the same risk as 100% junk bonds, but you get a 9.5% return instead of 5.3%.

Russiagate has its similarities but there are obvious limitations to trying to shut down any false or exaggerated narrative being promoted by people with federal power. But hey if you've got a plan I'm listening.
If you administer every SP, it starts to become a possibility. But as TFA mentions right off the bat, that's atypical.

And even if you do exclusively use SPs that support SLO, is the user supposed to wait while the IdP does all of that outreach in order to know that it worked, or 97% worked because one timed out? That depends on whether the user should even care about the outcome -- if they should care, then do they get an email when it achieves 100% hours/days later when that down-at-time-of-SLO SP is back up? Should they report an incident if they never see a success report?

I now felt alarmed enough to check which version of Maniac Mansion I have in the ‘to-play’ pile. Don't know if there are marked differences in V2: PCGamingWiki notes that it has ‘moderately improved graphics with more overall colors’. Still looks pretty EGA to me in the opening sequences.

However, it turns out that by default the V2 displays wrong in ScummVM, while accurate to the hardware limitations. You need to switch the ‘render mode’ to Amiga to get intended colors: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Maniac_Mansion#Higher_qual...

Recently I just finished tearing down all my self-host services. Things facing the public internet might be convenient, but heck if I want to face that security nightmare in an ongoing way.

All my git repos now live in a "git" folder I share amongst my fileserver and other machines with syncthing, hosting only the bare repos. If I need pull requests or issue tracking, it's got to be something that goes with the repository - as it always should've been, really.
We seem to have an entire generation of people who think "stonks can only go up". Similar views were expressed about houses/real estate in 2007. At 47, I'm probably substantially older than the average HN poster, but having lived through the 2001 dotcom implosion and the 2008 financial crisis has given me some perspective. I'm getting some really bad vibes about the sustainability of the the economy and asset markets. Seeing all of the "SWE, BSCS, 4 YOE, $800K TC, am I underpaid?" posts on Blind certainly doesn't help my feeling that a crash is coming.
I realized a day or two ago what this nft scam smells like. If you're old enough to remember, there was a company that "sold the naming rights" to stars. The perfect gift, name a star for someone. Except this naming right was not recognized by any organization or scientific body. Those cats made massive bank convincing idiots that they had the rights to a star. Not to mention the other dude that sold moon real estate in the 90s. Again, rights that were recognized by no one. "But it's a great investment!"
Business lessons I learned from EdTech’s rapid growth in 2020
When schools closed last year, teachers, parents and professionals in PJs turned to education technology for help.

As a writer and marketing consultant for EdTech startups, I had the rare opportunity to work with at least 3 fast-growing companies that experienced up to 20x growth.

It was like a passenger's seat view to watch the decisions of leaders and their teams at a truly pivotal moment in time.

Here are 3 lessons I learned learn from the experience:

1) Expect systems and processes to break down.

Exponential growth does not feel like linear growth but more. It feels like a tidal wave of information, opportunity, and demands. Many things break under the pressure.

But you still need these systems and processes in place.

2) Ship fast and keep your mindset flexible.

There’s no room for perfectionism when moving that fast.

I had to drop projects half way. Other times an item went from unknown to priority #1 over night. It takes a flexible mindset to deal with that.

A gift and a curse, I’m energized by controlled chaos.

3) Dial up your empathy during times of high stress.

Know that many are overwhelmed but doing their best.

Direct communication can still be kind. As I've mentioned before, a benefit of working with education companies is the industry has a tight jerk-filter. It's filled with many great people.

Sometimes, you need to be patient and ready to act quickly at the same time.

As a man who left a career in teaching to work for myself full time, last year was a crash course business degree.

During a year of darkness, it was inspiring to see these people helping to bring some light.
The SEC is on the hook to investigate anything reported to them. If they aren't investigating, then it's not being reported. Additionally, there is an incentive to report shady behavior(such as wash sales to lower price, as you described): https://www.sec.gov/whistleblower

tldr; the SEC pays you a portion of any fine they levy against an entity.
Not hostile at all. Just pointing out that delaying helping now means many people will suffer now. And just like money wisely and luckily invested will compound to result in more money later, harms now compound to result in more harms later.

A child sick with parasitic worms will have lower educational attainment and lower income later in life. Whatever effects you hope to bring about in the future through a larger donation better be magnificently larger - to offset all the negative effects of not helping now.
It's good to see someone on the same path. I was a corporate lawyer for a couple years before dedicating all my time to learning programming. I got really excited with it and got back to university to get a compsci degree. I'm on my second year and I still love every minute I spend learning algorithms and other technologies.

I've never seen any team where Senior Dev / Tech lead have had any power to make "arch level" decisions. And I have a very hard time imagining a team where the other junior/mid level engineers would accept to have such decisions made over their heads, by a member of the team.
Bernie when compared with other dems in the primary will always lose out on the "white electability" test. Doesn't matter whether it's 2016 or 2020. My top comment was explaining one of the reasons Bernie was never going to do well, and the abyss that the black community was staring into.
Im pretty sure I have the retail box and floppies for this game. Going from 16 to 256 colors does seem to make the scenes look prettier but for me the 1st game that stands out in my memory showcasing the VGA improvement is a simple breakout game called Bananoid.

These images brought back some powerful memories, one in particular is hearing the chorus of the song Self Control by Laura Branigan comming out of my friends C64 in or around 1986. The next time I heard a simmilar example was a .wav file of the song Daisy but that was years later.
See this massive list of countries where this has occurred: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_reforms_by_country
