>As far as the most civil nations/governments of our world are concerned.

Most of the world doesn't agree with these so called "civil nations" that have murdered more innocent Muslim civilians than anyone else over the last 2 decades.

Also notice what's going on in Palestine isn't called genocide because its not convenient for these "civil nations", even though what Israel is doing is more genocidal and violent than anything that has happened in Western China to Uighurs.

Reeks of double standards being set by western nations to suppress China's economy. At this point, any manufactured excuse will get adopted and mainstreamed.
I don't know if my writeup would add something new. It's actually a known practice here in germany (as I discovered after the fact).

The main problem with systemd IMO is that it’s written in a critically insecure language. If they could rewrite it in something safe but keep the same design, that would be ideal.

Ask HN: Where do you find potential customers to validate your idea / MVP?
Where do you find people to validate your idea / MVP and get feedback from?
I've been building something over the past year that primarily scratches my own itch and I'm getting ready to use it myself but I was wondering how I could see if other people are interested in this as well.

I've read about landing pages and MVPs so that's kinda what I did: I've made something small, usable, that solves a single problem with myself as my user persona (i.e. scratching my own itch).

The problem I'm running into now is that I can't seem to gather any useful feedback and I don't know where to get that feedback, or how to get it.
There are a few people registered on my site but none actually active enough for me to try and reach out to them.

How do you get feedback on your project / MVP without spamming HN or reddit in the hopes that one or two people leave a comment?

P.S. A fiverr clone for product owners or analysts might be what I'm looking for here.

I just learned it three days ago, based on the tutorials I linked, and I found it quite easy to learn. In particular, it has very good introductory as well as reference documentation.
Only during the transition, when all is said and done there are no other identifiers of merit, and since this one can change pretty frequently it doesn't really identify much.

One day I receive a request that says you are group 12345, in 1 hour you are 12346 instead because the algorithm recalculated your FLoC... Not sure what anyone can tell about that without knowing the group ids meanings, which likely not even google will know since this is going to be a clustering algorithm anyway.
Just speculating, what if this was a false flag?
Someone against Amazon creates a bunch of fake accounts and posts pro-Amazon stuff. Then sends those accounts to journalists.

Where have you been all through the 737 Max debacle! It's refreshing to read someone who genuinely understands this issue.

And for what it's worth I've pondered that before and my only conclusion was as others have said here, probably a lack of detailed organisational knowledge on the design of the pitch feel computer. Perhaps there are confounding factors, it has its own pitot tube but not a AoA vane for example. Or perhaps changing it may have triggered more regulatory oversight than MCAS did (unfortunate given events which followed).
I Beat the Berlin Rental Market with a Python Script
A lot of people are saying that we can’t use cap height because of non-Latin characters and that was also my first thought.

But we could say that every character is defined relative to the cap height of “M” and then it is up to the font designer to choose how big an あ or a ㅕ is relative to the M.

That would however not be much of a change compared to an em, which basically just says “how big is your line compared to the tallest line available?”

Unlike the author, I haven’t created a successful font, but my feeling is that it is better to have things defined relative to a max height, than have things defined relative to “a height”.
I don't think you are being constructive or bringing arguments that support your thesis so I'm going to stop here to reply.
I have a harder time wrapping my head around this after your comment. I get that police are there to protect corporate profits, so it makes sense in that way. The IP stance though, is this precedent that if you are a large corporation, the game laws you make are then enforceable in the real world?

It does really blow my mind that makers of software that people buy and run on their own machines are going to get locked in a cage because they were undermining a game's design.

I've actually had some respect for China's treatment of intellectual property, as I believe a looser IP policy allows for faster innovation in society. This is just enforcing corporate interests though, it's not the world I want to see and it's going to take some very talented developers and reverse engineers out of the job market.
They are very powerful tools, written in plain vanilla language and in a very generic way, a fact that makes them great learning tools which can help anyone learn how to code without them. In order to know how and when you should use a particular framework you have to understand how frameworks work.

So work to spread knowledge of the language and tooling. Don't throw out the extreme benefits that comes from frameworks and strong conventions. At any given point, you are (probably, unless working alone) gonna have junior and senior developers in a team.

Understanding the strengths and the constraints of each framework will enable you to make the right choice of a framework. Even more, it will be very clear when you don't need one at all. Grasping the concepts of how frameworks work behind the scenes will deepen your knowledge about the language itself. Knowing the framework's rationale will enable you to write better code for each specific problem you encounter.

All of that sounds great. But its not gonna be feasible in any environment I've ever worked in, the requirement that everyone should be at the exact same skilled professional mindset and experience.
But if they can trace back all the activity pertaining to a case they can show strongly though not conclusively that you were probably the source? Also as long as they can prove that you constructed the setup you also start looking guilty as hell..

Maybe it's the sarcastic inverted interpretation that is being downvoted?
It's not a rhetorical trick. If a business is competitive only because it abuses employees, that business should not exist, at least in its current form. If businesses don't want the mean old union to come and make them stop doing stuff, they shouldn't invite conditions that lead people to vote for unions.
Some companies are willing to sell dollar bills for 75 cents[0]. It's fine if you take on a business risk and it materializes (or pays off), but I wonder if there are companies/founders/executives who maliciously spend investor money with no expectation of positive return for the company.

In my experience, it is much better than cmake: Apart from having good and comprehensive introductory documentation, it has a nicely ordered reference and also, it is stable, while cmake is changing, sometimes in backward-incompatible ways, and you find a lot of information which is disconnected and fragmentary and one does not know to which versions it applies. The latter will also, by all experience I have, make it much much harder to maintain and fix cmake projects in the long run. Think in a "modern"C++ code base which is 15 years old and in which every developer tried to include its favorite language constructs.
The idea that a todo app is a capital intensive business is laughable. I have more impressive ideas that can be realized with much less money and that even includes hardware projects that would require hundreds of thousands in machine tools. All these guys really needed to do was make one really good iOS app and make sure they don't spend too much money on it.
That argument would be fine if we had plenty of mobile OS providers, except we have only two and it's a duopoly with very clear market issues.

If you don't like Bosch, there's hundreds of other manufacturer, if you don't like a restaurant, there's hundreds of other ones you can pick, if you don't like Android and iOS, well, you're screwed.

That's the market analogy, secondly, those monopolies are essential in today's computing world and currently power a great part of the tech industry, easy to see some issues there.
And they can have monthly spending limits too

Not just Brainfuck, basically the entire field of esoteric programming languages.
Taking this at face value, it feels like a VC market is not a particularly efficient way to produce value for the general public. Success is way more contingent on how long a company can shoulder losses for rather than how good the product is. Similar situations seem to be happening with rideshare apps: although there is some innovation, right now it feels like they're all hanging on by their nails and hoping for their competitors to run out of money.
The term framework itself is kind of hard to define and in many cases almost identical to "library". Is express.js a library or already framework? Or both? At least it calls itself a framework..

Many libraries or frameworks do one thing and one thing well, but there are also frameworks that are a collection of libraries for different purposes. I feel entrenched when frameworks limit library choice by making it hard to switch out components. From that perspective I prefer libraries over frameworks, but the distinction is kind of hard to make.
I still remember the first Meraki device. It was so good. I used it a lot.
> For the most part, the aspects of a framework that go unused typically don't introduce runtime overhead.

You cannot seriously believe this.
That's really strange. Here in Norway I visit a dentist roughly once a year and usually only see my dentist if the dental hygienist has found a problem.
I think this movement comes approximately 10 years late. Microservices led to the growth of devstacks that has replaced frameworks a lot. I don't know a lot of people who start new projects with big frameworks (maybe Java guys), it's all devstacks around me. In some cases, it's sad because frameworks often have things that have to be reimplemented.
Wow! Yeah indeed there's a few impractical steps required to go all the way to 8kb, but trimming down to a couple of MB is definitely a huge improvement. I somehow never looked into CoreRT before, I'm gonna need to do so. Thanks for sharing this!

I very much support this. Know your tools!
I wonder if the person you're replying to is correct in but in a different way.

Since text files and excel sheets are "outdated", we don't stack them up against bloated webapp that Asana is.

What if, really, excel sheet can just work? Its like we get so wound up in existing status-quo, we get narrow vision and forget the larger domain space for solving problems.

It's like the guy that ran a bunch of ETL jobs on a Macbook Air faster than a Hadoop cluster. KISS is beautiful sometimes and eye-opening. When someone brings up a ridiculous "outdated" idea, I try to keep an open mind. May be... just maybe we're wrong about all this?

Apart from that the embedded universe needs to support a lot of CPU architectures, the demand for building on different hardware and slightly different library interfaces is unlikely to disappear. Just think in desktop apps using Qt4 / Qt5 or libraries which require CUDA support for different kinds of hardware.
I agree that there exists a possibility that superintelligence might want to maximize paperclips or mine bitcoins. I just think it is very unlikely, and that there exists a positive correlation between intelligence of the entity and intelligence of its goals.

Further, why should I think that given all possible goals a superintelligence might have, goals that happen to somehow cause destruction of humanity represent something else than infinitesimal share? Earth is not a significant source of mass/energy even in our solar system, and already humans are intelligent enough to escape earth.

Note that I am talking about superintelligence in the sense humans are superintelligent to ants. Not pseudosuperintelligence developed by humans having human specified goals.
The problem I think is the inversion of control — django owns your code; you’re just a citizen within its confines. You’re typically hooking into the framework’s runtime, and thus everything you do is mediated by the framework — great when you’re doing what the framework wants you to do, and a massive PITA when you stray from the golden path.

Not to mention it bifurcates the library ecosystem — you end up with a react forms library versus an angular forms library versus a vue forms library that are all fundamentally the same yet somehow split, by nature of the framework they hook into.

I would pay for this and I am 33 and have 5 root cannals fixed. Maybe 3 tooth without fillings. It runs in our family... I also didn't have the best dentists growing up in eastern block. Almost no rentgen on basic fillings or microscope on root cannals, only amalgam filling except front tooth. Now I am in process of redoing badly done fillings with cavities under fillings. Al so I have two teeth taken out because my dentist didnt properly explained to me they could be fixed... If I lived in the middle ages, I would look like a 60 year old with no teeth.
Good point. Standing back from any individual's point of view and thinking about the national consciousness for a moment:

To be able to remember the British Empire as anything other than a time of prosperity and progress is hard for the British. We believe that Britain has long been the hero of the story, as our very strong collective memory of the Second World War attests (minus our own atrocities of course). Coming to terms with our colonial past isn't something we're hardwired to be able to do easily as humans - our pride gets in the way. So we make whatever mental leaps we need to to fit the world of today into our preexisting faith in our own goodness and the goodness of our ancestors.

The intellectual dishonesty required to hide the evident reality of structural inequalities of race isn't that big of a jump for us to make but it's an important one to sooth our British pride. With a history of empire we need to make that leap - otherwise we would need to accept our responsibility for too many of the worlds problems - the immensity of our shame would be far too much to deal with. Instead, the problems of today have to be the sole responsibility of the people of today. If there are structural problems, they have to be categorized in ways that make it seem inevitable (poverty is a handy way out in that regard).

Race can't be acknowledged to be a big issue in the UK - the cost would be too great to our sense of self.

Similarly, Scotland can't be independent because that means us acknowledging the brutal history of English domination and oppression.

The pride of the British Empire has become a curse that we won't easily be free from.
I would love to replace all my powershell build scripts with .cs files. imo there is lots of room for C# Scripts.
While I agree with your general sentiment, I should caution that every S-1 (as well as 10-K) contains such horrifying language; if not regarding the firm’s present losses, then regarding the many ways the firm could begin losing money and/or value. The entire purpose of these statements, and the sections in which they reside, is to provide appropriate cover for the firm when potentially desperate investors begin to think about legal action against the company. This way, the business can point to their compliance with their legal obligation to disclose potential deleterious outcomes as well as to the fact that the equity holder was aware of any associated risks at the time of their investment.
You don't want to accidentally delete or write to things and this command seems like an accident waiting to happen. A command whitelist would be very helpful but it doesn't look like UP has one.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. Where I live, they recently said they will open shops for a couple of days, and you can get in if either

It blows my mind that so much money is being spent on companies that seemingly have no road to profitability, or expect that their users will stay when they rise the prices to a profitable level.

I wonder how many more mobility startups we can dump money into before accepting that it will fail like the five identical companies before it.

I always joke that my humble little website is more profitable than Uber, Airbnb, Lyft, Pinterest, Slack, Dropbox and a few other companies combined, and was so since day 1. (E: not Twitter)

Maybe I think too small, but when I divide these companies' losses by their number of users, I can't imagine how they could possibly work if they weren't sustained with massive amounts of money.
This is like applied Dunning-Kruger
Yes, there's something inherently wrong with it. That said, there's no sense arguing too hard against systemic injustice here because there are way too many folks that hate being nice to have that not end with your comment flagged.

Indeed productivity apps are essential for collaboration specially in async and non-local environments. They should be invested in because there's a lot of uncovered potential there still regarding modes of information organisation.

What does that have to do with the fact that to deliver that consistently and performantly across different computing platforms you need to produce N variations of your product?
There are way to limit the scope of those. One set of credentials per environment for example. You can also limit the use of the these credentials by policy.

The passage quoted above refers to the way google plans to audit FLoC, not FLoC itself.

Each browser is assigned a single floc ID, which is (for now) a 50-bit hash that is not human readable on its own. But the floc ID is intended to capture something meaningful about browsing behavior. Two users with similar browsing history are likely to have similar, if not the same, floc IDs. Floc IDs which are close together (hamming distance-wise) also reflect similar browsing histories. (http://matpalm.com/resemblance/simhash/)

It will be totally possible to gather data about what kind of people belong to a particular floc -- provided that you operate a large website or ad network. It will probably not be possible for normal people.

There's a risk that advertisers will learn that a particular floc ID corresponds to a "sensitive category" of users. That's what google is trying to prevent.

Google plans to audit floc IDs for correlation with visits to sensitive websites. In order to do so, it's assigning a "sensitivity" label to certain websites, and then applying that label to each user who visits those websites. Then it will run analyses to see whether users with a particular floc ID are more likely to have a particular label. Floc IDs that correlate too strongly with a particluar label will be thrown out.

The passage is attempting to explain why this does not prevent adtech from learning other meaningful things about flocs -- for example, that users in a specific floc are disproportionately female, or Muslim, or suffering from depression.

As for whether FLoC is in chrome, see the origin trial page here: https://developer.chrome.com/origintrials/#/view_trial/21392...
