Makes sense.

When you said geography features, I was more thinking of natural barrier (like rivers, mountains): they were very crucial in shaping the old country border, but should have less impact today if both sides are already in the same country. So it's interesting that some of political division are still present around them, which makes me think history has its (unproportional) influence than the geography itself. But I guess it's always multi-factor and hard to tell in vacuum.

It doesn't help that in most of examples in OP, the major difference between two (old) countries is the economic one, so a certain degree of Matthew effect is there.
>>unwanted pregnancies are better prevented than aborted<<

I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't agree with this statement. The narrative that abortion is used as a form of contraception is largely a false one, but accidents do happen. Most of the women who get abortions already have a child, surprisingly. [1] EDIT -> well, I was surprised, I guess I should say

Ask HN: How to run a profitable open-source project?
I'm working on a project which has two versions of software, a basic Open Source version, and paid with more features, and dedicated support.

I'm considering how to make all PRO features available in the free version, and don't bankrupt :) We're working full time on this project so we need to earn money.
You should. Crypto is about to prove (again) why banking needs regulatory bodies.
Mythbusters did something like this, but it was just using one of those big commercial training simulators instead of a real plane if I recall correctly, and showed that it was possible.

What do you think is my viewpoint?

During 1994-1997, both parties were moving left. And during 2012-2014 they were moving in opposite directions. I focused on the period of 1998-2011 because that seemed to be when there was the biggest difference in behavior between the 2 parties.

The claim of incomingpain was that "the democrats moved far left creating the polarization". But this is not supported by the given data. The parties were moving in lockstep prior to 1998, and the Democrats didn't move at all for many years after 1998.

It seems difficult to argue that the polarization was created in 2017, given the data from 1998-2011. Anyway, incomingpain, the one who made the claim, was also the one who linked to the pre-2015 data.

Here's the funny thing: incomingpain said "The republicans clearly moved left and it was the right thing to do." And Republicans did indeed move left 1994-2003... but then they moved back right starting in 2004. They moved right at the same time that Democrats were staying the same. So shouldn't incomingpain argue that backtracking was the wrong thing to do, if moving left was the right thing to do?
One of the sane decisions I have made five years ago. Go to US for masters and stuck in the long immigration process with no uncertainty or move to Europe with a well paying job. I choose the latter and I couldn’t have been happier. In the last five years, I dealt with immigration twice and that too just renew my resident permit. Last year, I went through civic integration procedure and gonna get an European passport along with OCI card which makes me visa free travel to almost all parts of the world. It’s just a breeze and it’s not just me. Most of my friends have similar stories and we barely hear people complaining about immigration issues. So, anyone who’s looking for an alternative, Europe, especially Netherlands.

The salary barrier is also reducing a lot now a days. When I moved, I used to make high five figures which was quite good for European salaries but now, almost low to mid six figures.
In my experience, this usually happens because an exec sees a presentation or comes up with an idea and is like "Let's do this, we'll throw some good people at it and they'll figure out how" and then it turns out that after the org is built, hundreds of people are working on it, and they've investigated all the constraints, it's not actually possible to build the idea. The ideas that actually work usually get developed in the opposite direction, an engineer says "We can build this, let's put an early version in front of some people and see if we should."

Innovation is path-dependent, and communication/adoption/organizational/economic constraints are just as real as technical ones. It's like how pretty much any skilled programmer could've built the first version of Facebook in a weekend, but to take off, it needed to start in the highest social-status campus (Harvard) of the most networked population (college students) of early adopters (young people). That limited the pool of entrepreneurs to basically just Mark Zuckerburg and the Winklevii, and Zuckerburg got there first under somewhat dubious circumstances.

Same with a lot of discussions in politics, climate change, renewable energy, and Hacker News. An uninformed layperson looks at the problem as a whole, says "We should do this, let's throw money at it and someone will figure out how", and then we end up with a financial bubble and not a whole lot of solutions.

Garmin's got a relatively new system called Autoland that is designed for this exact situation. It allows a plane to land simply by pushing one button. It will pick the nearest appropriate airport, communicate with ATC, and land the plane entirely on its own.

On the upside, new farming techniques may provide higher-skill and comfortable jobs in the field. Vertical farming will offer a ton of comfortable jobs (in the AC as opposed to outside in the sun). There will also be more expertise required in the ag industry moving forward, meaning higher-paying jobs.

The downside is that food will, and probably should cost more. Our percentage of income spent on food is incredibly low and many don't realize how lucky that is. But a more sustainable system will likely mean more expensive food. That will be a tough pill to swallow.
A little while ago I had an interview in which the owner of the company (Fintech-ish) started reading my palm and telling me things about me he would have extrapolated from what I'd already told him about myself.

That's not a euphemism: he genuinely believed he was reading the lines on my palm, and that that makes sense to do in an interview.
I worked at a large financial news site for a number of years. In that time they spent a lot of engineering time to make the site accessible (you can see the types of the problems that crop up here: https://twitter.com/financialtimes/status/148963776159856640...)

However I didn't know we had a team doing that. why? because they called themselves "a11y". I thought it was an analytics team, or and inside joke name. I would see a11y requests, commits and infra changes, but I didn't twig what it was for.

I had seen the team lead talk about accessibility in meetings, and I knew that it was very close to their heart, they'd even given conference talks about it.

It was only when the team lead changed roles, and I had a catchup with them and asked them what the team name meant. They looked at me and said "its like i8n, you know what that is, you fiddle with it all the time" When I looked blank they said: "you know changing locales and stuff" you mean in Internationalization? Then the penny dropped.

a11y == accessibility.

the irony of having the least accessible name, for improving accessibility.
Interview had been made by a founder, who wasn't present to interview me. I'm not sure they even existed.

Interview was conducted by a recently-hired, recently-graduated (and very fresh-out-of-school) developer.

The business prop just didn't make sense.

After about 15--20 minutes, I was just trying to make sense of the situation / why they were even at the firm.

I watched for further developments from the company for a few years, I'm not aware that anything ever came of it, so at least this one time my sense that this could never pan out was in fact correct.

(Stupid ideas often have a much longer runway than seems remotely possible, especially when money also gets stupid.)

I don't recall the name of the company any more.

My opinion of Republican values regarding LGBT rights comes directly from spoken statements from sitting members of congress and state legislators. If Republicans can point to actual legislators that say "no one should have guns", I'll listen. But typically I find that gun-control "debates" involve a nuanced "common-sense" gun control side and a "they want to disarm you and take your stuff" side. Which again, comes down to disinformation spreading among the right and preventing good-faith arguments for gun-control.
Interesting, I didn't know about this.

I've wondered before if Airbnb could do a Guest Plus: instead of paying a massive service fee (which likely goes towards insurance and customer support) and cleaning fee, a guest could clean the house to its original standard, wash the sheets, put the bins out on bin day, sharpen the knives, etc. You'd also get a late checkout as the host wouldn't need to get a cleaner between guests.

The proxy seems to be matching on filenames, not content-sniffing arbitrary bytestreams for anything which might be a compressed image, so on more dynamic sites (especially SPAs), that would seem to be skipping most of the content.
Note that this only counts for certificates in the system store. As far as I know, certificates stores in the user store (the one you use when you import a certificate through the UI) will override this requirement and work just fine.

The underlying problem is that apps stopped trusting user certificates by default in Android 7 so security researchers have had to root their devices and store certs in the system store.

Theoretically this should work if you can manage to get the certificate in both the system and the user store, though I don't think you can do that.

I'm thinking something like this: you add the root certificate to your system store so most applications will trust it; then you create an intermediate certificate authority for your MitM-ing (which you should probably do anyway if you're doing this long term) and import that certificate into the user store.

Hopefully, that way Chrome will see the user store intermediate certificate and validate it using the non-CT algorithm. I haven't tried it, though!

Note that for MitM-ing Firefox, you need to access the secret dev settings (go to about, hit the Firefox logo seven times to enable them) and enable loading user store certificates.

The learning curve for RST is generally higher because it does more. You'll notice that Markdown's learning curve goes up quite a bit as they add all the features that RST has. That said, RST has some bad design decisions, but I'd say about 75% of the complexity it introduces is needed, and the 25% is bad design.
> You are literally transmitting my keystrokes through several log keeping machines, to a piece of software that probably keeps logs.

I mean, yes, this is the internet we're talking about. I think this discussion is breaking down because keylogger = surreptitious, like when you are being logged by a third party when typing to a second party (ie you type a Google search into google.com and person who is not Google listens and logs that). It would be weird to describe you performing a search on Google as keylogging, though Google used to "transmit your keystrokes through several log keeping machines" to get auto-complete working
Erm, there are actual solutions, like teachers and social workers who are not burned out and can pay attention to the kids - and act if they spot something weird.

I'm saying, if you're a US software engineer/contractor earning 100k+ a year like a lot of people on HN, then reserving 2% of your income (2,000) for legal fees is worth it. Doesn't have to be for what the OP suggest, but definitely to check any contracts you get into (including employment contract).

The advice I wrote applies in the context of consultants/contractors on HN which I'm pretty sure tends to earn quite a bit more than the median income.

Racism and Misogyny are actual forces in this country. Minority activists don't actually have any political power.

Besides, who are you expecting to do the denouncing and what are they supposed to denounce? Before I started this comment was I supposed to do a quick google search and see if there were any fringe activists saying something to denounce? What's the time scale I have to cover before I can reply to your comment. A week? A month? What if I already denounced it in another thread, do I have to do a recap of everything I've denounced in every thread?

I'm not calling you racist, No one asked you to denounce racism or misogyny, so why are you bringing it up?

> there’s enough people out there denouncing the misappropriation of their identity by politicians to make it clear that they don't represent that group

This is laughably unquantifiable and political forces ensure that even if this was happening you wouldn't know about it.
UST’s Do Kwon Was Behind Earlier Failed Stablecoin, Ex-Terra Colleagues Say
I agree -- this blog post is light on details. To me the value Cloudflare believes they are offering is mostly ease-of-use, particularly setup. With minimal work you can have a stateful, relational store available to your code. But in terms of actual database functionality, they are not offering anything particularly novel. Of course, I might be missing something.

In fact, I don't see anything D1 is doing that is not already offered by something like rqlite[1], which is also a super-easy-to-use distributed database built on SQLite. Of course Cloudflare will run the database for you, which is a great help -- they take care of the uptime, monitoring, backups, etc. And that's important obviously, because in the real-world databases must be operated.

I think I disagree with your opinion. Raw images often look fantastic if they are captured properly (in focus, exposed correctly). I still work regularly with old film cameras, and the photos develop very very nicely without any digital alterations. When I shoot with my digital I usually save both RAW and JPEG formats so I have the extra raw data if I need it but if I've taken a good shot I minimize my digital alterations.

There are some additional tweaks that can be done to a "raw" format camera image that contains extra image data compared to a processed/jpeg type flatter image, but there's no reason they should look bad coming out of the camera. Maybe unbalanced white color values at most.
Oh, we do it better. We just replace step 2 and 3 with "Executive management says the same set of empty slogans they've been saying for years whenever these problems are raised, thus all but admitting that nothing is actually going to change."

How are you going to point multiple services at multiple different registries at the same time? Because absent full system virtualisation, you cannot.

I don't have to copy config.001 to config. I can simply point the process to config.001.

There might be many such of those configs. (This can of course become ... too much of a good thing. But that's simply because it's so easy to do and get carried away with.)

Agreed. He even understands some of the lingo. Doesn't mean he knew how to fly any airplane (or land one!) but he seems at least technically minded.
Yes, absolutely. But it is not constitutionally resolvable.

Mucking with the Constitution, such as extending the 1st Amendment beyond restriction of government, such as suspending habeas corpus, such as fulfilling 5th Amendment requirements with secret trials, such as adding an interpretation of self-defense to the 2nd Amendment that the Founders debated and intentionally left out, is all really very dangerous because these alterations are effectively diluting our freedoms until they become unrecognizable, and it begins to look like conservative agenda to dismantle government to allow those with money and rich corporations to exploit masses of individuals without limitations.

Considering Justice Scalia's unnecessary and unsupportable and overreaching (without 2/3rds majority of Congress or the state legislatures) reinterpretation of the 2nd to include self-defense fundamentally changes the Founders intent from a selfless right to stand against tyranny to a selfish and redundant right to protect your flatscreen TV. This was nothing less than vandalism, and we are all less safe for it. It is the same with Guantanamo and the suspension of habeas. This did us no favors and reduced the rights of every citizen. It is the same thing with killing Anwar al-Awlaki (let's be clear tho, he was evil), a US citizen, without a public indictment by a Grand Jury nor a public trial, really screws everyone and is a step towards changing our world into Kafka's nightmare, and worse, because we're teetering in the edge of widespread ecosystem collapse due to the activities of big business. Once we change so much of the framework, our government will collapse, and along with it, our individual freedoms, and the slow murder of Earth will be put into overdrive. Then we'll all be dead.

So let's work out problems like the Hollywood Blacklist without mucking with the Bill of Rights.
It's not really a matter of "daring". Most online platforms don't permit dissent on transgender issues. If someone attempted to directly argue that they don't think transgenderism is real, they wouldn't face criticism or engage in a robust debate, they'd simply get their comment deleted. (If you turn on showdead you can see that's happened in this very thread, although admittedly the guy was a bit rude about it.)

So, how would you fix El Salvador and give their people the best chance at a good life?

A lot of the anti-crypto sentiment on HN portrayed El Salvador's actions as a very bad and irresponsible move, but I'd say that the President of El Salvador is not only making the right move for his country, but personally has far more skin in the game than any democratically elected leader from most other countries. If his move doesn't work out in the long-run, he will likely eventually be violently removed from office. Hell, he risks assassination from other countries too merely for "stepping out of his lane", so to speak.

Why is it the right move for his country? How much of a gamble is any action when you don't have much to lose?

I don't want to disparage El Salvadoran people in any way: but the reality is that they're a very poor country with a very bad education system and not much industry and have had major crime problems, and many of their people who build up some success and resources in life still see their best path to success as finding a way to get into other countries. Their only real path out of this situation is either humanity inventing free energy and replicators to give them unlimited resources, or them taking a shot at being a friendly jurisdiction for the next major industry and technology before everybody else truly embraces it.

They're like a small-market NBA team with no real chance of winning a title without tanking. Everybody is going to rip them for tanking, but that's their only real path to win.

El Salvador is now in a non-zero position to be a wealthier country in the long run. That's much better than the basically 0 percent chance they had before their crypto actions.
