I think that's spot on.

Curious, is there anything else about your needs pushing you towards ArcGIS rather than, say, QGIS?
Unfortunately there are some major issues with your website that really turn me off or rub me the wrong way here. Please don't take this criticism the wrong way - this is entirely in good faith (I promise).

Firstly: I hate being presented with a 'sign up' screen when I click get started. At that point I have no idea if the product is a good fit for me. I don't necessarily want to give you my data.

Speaking of data - how do you handle my data or my customers' data if I choose to collect it? The privacy policy link doesn't go anywhere. What is your cookie policy and where can I opt in and out?

Why would I use Daspoll over something like SurveyMonkey, which is widely established in the industry? I'm not really sure what unique features you offer from what's on the homepage.

I would probably replace the 'why surveys' and 'example use cases' section with something that sells Daspoll specifically more. If I'm looking for survey software, I know I want survey software, and I know my usecase - you need to convince me to pick Daspoll over the alternatives. And you REALLY need to convince me if you want me to spend money to get more than 5 responses per survey!!

There are a few questionable UI decisions on your homepage, such as some of the content going right to the edge of the page, or the survey image in the CTA being cut off mid-question. Also, you have misspelled 'survey' in the description of the free tier, as well as 'doesn't required a credit card' in the CTA.

Also if you click the daspoll logo at the top left, it takes you to a blank page. This may be because I've not signed up.

On to what I like:

Having an easy way to set up a no code survey builder that's an alternative to the big boys is great! If it's super simple to smash together an anonymous survey that's not gonna give me 30458309 tracking cookies and loads of JS bloat, then amazing, I'd use it.

If the templates are good, then you probably save a lot of time.

It could be good if you play on the 'ease of creation' angle, and provide a more mature product, but it feels incomplete, more attention to detail on the UI/Layout, and I don't really know what the advantages of your product are.
Democratic wobble is about shifting political demographics. In other words, the majority of the country wobbles between center right and center left. This isn't that.
It's a federation, not a democracy. States themselves are federations of legislative districts, the borders of which are drawn by the same legislature (without, thanks to today's supreme court, the checks and balances of judicial oversight). In a democracy, sensible legislation that appeases a large majority is possible.
Speak for yourself, some of us use our homelabs to serve ourselves as customers because we refuse to pay for nickel and dime services that exist for the sake of convenience.

I too want to find this article (I'm certain it was linked from HN). It isn't a strong towns article, but it had some great diagrams showing how the city centers are the only economically viable places for utilities because of density. The suburbs were just not cost effective and thus were going to go bankrupt because of the lack of efficiency. I've tried to find this article in the past and it has been long enough that I'm not really sure what to google for at this point.
I think there's a difference between tuning a story and misappropriating it as a vehicle for your personal goals. This can be done well by giving us more background on what was a minor character or altering dialogue to give a different perspective of events. It can be done badly, such as by introducing us to Kímli, the lesbian dwarf queen with a mithril wheelchair.
your site looks professional and polished UI, guess you must have done some market research on other similar sites, wonder what makes yours competitive? price or function wise? thanks, just curious about it...
NIST Announces First Four Quantum-Resistant Cryptographic Algorithms
I'll never forget the first time a tech recruiter just flat out didn't care about anything on my resume except for the specific years of "experience" for the tech stack she was looking for. What about all the hard work I did in all this other software related stuff? Did that insight not translate at all? Did anything I did in my past jobs even matter at all?!! It was a rebuke of the late nights spent at the office on some tech problem for some enterprise software helping to make a tiny bit more money for some 50 person midsize IT automation company.

These suburban office parks are the personification of the wasted potential of my 20s. I have recently been brought to tears from time to time thinking about those years and the wasted potential. (im 34 so not too long ago)

At the same time the look of these places also brings a kind of nostalgia since they are now slowly going away.

At this point in my life. I wish I was never exposed to the world these office parks exist in but who knows. Maybe in my 40s, I'll be crying about how much I missed those times.

Should we feel the same way about people in IT, programming and other computer related industries then they are laid off for economic reasons? I find it odd that there are many industries that produce far more damaging pollution, including the tech industries, which don't even produce the necessities for life like farming does, but nobody blinks any eye.

> Roe vs. Wade wasn't about abortion, it was about privacy. That's why they're already talking about voiding gay and interracial marriage bans, they were based on that precedent.

This is factually untrue in the case of interracial marriage and deceptive in the case of gay marriage.

Loving v. Virginia, (which predates Roe) prohibiting bans on interracial marriage, was based on marriage as a fundamental right and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment, not privacy and substantive due process like Roe. A Roe-like substantive due process argument was raised in Loving but not resolved by the Court because the EPC argument was sufficient.

Obergefell v. Hodges, prohibiting same-sex marriage bans, had two independent bases, an EPC basis resting on Loving and a substantive due process bases resting on Roe and related cases. (In Obergefell the Court didn't choose not to resolve the substantive due process argument despite the EPC being sufficient, unlike Loving.)

In strictly reasoning-of-the-case terms, Roe (or even, as Justice Thomas has suggested, the line of substantive due process cases on which Roe relies) being struck down has no impact on Loving and no decisive impact on Obergefell.

The real reasons these and other cases are talked about as targets isn't legal reasoning, it is power politics: both the left and right see an activist Court that has proven multiple times recently that it is willing to ignore settled precedent to write right-wing preferences into law, and one side is afraid of that and one side wants to maximize the benefit they can extract from that situation while it lasts.

>explain our design rationale every day to people that have zero design backgrounds. The better we do this, the better we're able to do our job.

Exactly, the really good and professional designers I worked with spent a lot of time to explain and work with me and show evidence for their approach.

To be condescending and dismissive is a warning sign that maybe somebody is being arbitrary and has to cover up their lack of professional development.
Oh, yes, it is :) My favorite take on "cool" (and Albert Camus) is this existential comic: https://www.existentialcomics.com/comic/451
I'm sure the ISS's public facing comms (I believe they host a public HAM repeater as well) are isolated. Also, there's no reason that something added well after Twitter (the first ISS direct communication was a tweet - before that tweets were related through a ground station) would be done in an obsolete way.

But lastly, unless they're hosting a forum, XSS is kinda irrelevant and 1995 predates XSS issues (and for most of the year JS)
The problem with GDPR is underspecification and bad enforcement because the agency of the country where the company is registered is responsible, and the fuzzy nature of the law allows companies to drag out fees with long legal battles.

The annoying popups are basically malicious compliance.

We'll see how things play out here, but this time there are a lot of provisions that should make enforcement easier.
its way more complicated than that.

The main issue is runoff. In short, cows shit. That effluence has to be disposed of. The issue is, cows poo in fields, the rain comes and washes it into watercourses. That then finds it's way into rivers and lakes and causes large algal blooms that kill everything.

The more productive a farm, the bigger the runoff problem.

As everything has water in the Netherlands, runoff is a massive problem(its a big problem in the UK, but we have other issues that are more pressing in the eyes of the public).

The traditional solution would be to drain Makermeer, expand onto that and have done with it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flevopolder was "drained" in 1962) but thats not going to happen anymore.

The Dutch are not going to have food shortages. its more an issue of livelihood.

Your requirements have a bit of a contradiction. Normally if you have a tight budget you won't be considering traveling every year overseas for holidays.

The best thing for a tight budget would be to buy local (meaning in your country) so you can use it more often.
>With very large customers, clouds have to be price competitive because if you're at a large scale, it is totally worth spending millions of dollars for a 5 year plan to change clouds.

You've literally just explained why a large company would be perfectly willing to be overcharged by a cloud provider in order of millions of dollars. They would have to pay that for migration anyway and there is always a risk of creating disruptions in the process.
>Double Dip.

So now earning profits on hardware and charging for software or services are double dipping?

This differs greatly by location and investment type. Maybe this is true in the bay area, but that doesn't mean it is true in rural south africa for example.
Same here as well. I use Zoho for personal email and find their web client adequate, calendar as well.

For work I use web Outlook (we're MS based). On top of that everything goes through box.com which I find quite good. Usually I have three tabs open in my browser (Firefox). Calendar, Email and Slack. Works pretty well.

There are no single perfect solutions. Being able to identify which continent a photo was taken in would often be useful. Geolocation, even inexact geolocation, is an essential part of intelligence work.
I think it's fine to be honest.

Over time competition between the 3 major clouds combined with hardware getting cheaper will mean there is not going to be a massive jump in prices, if any at all.

It is not impossible to design relatively cloud-portable server software.

Also I think FedEx, and companies in general, would prefer to increase revenue rather than reduce costs (by running their own data center) in order to increase their net profit.

> your personal private business - the government can be aware of it all it wants, but

> the "right to privacy" is the right not to be interfered with

Ok, yes, I'm confused. In what way are the above two statements not completely opposite world-states? Is "information collection" (by government or others) not antithetical to the "right to privacy?"

Again I will refer to 'I've Got Nothing to Hide' and Other Misunderstandings of Privacy [0]:

The first general category is information collection, which involves the ways that data is gathered about people. The subcategories, surveillance and interrogation, represent the two primary problematic ways of gathering information. A privacy problem occurs when an activity by a person, business, or government entity creates harm by disrupting valuable activities of others. These harms need not be physical or emotional; they can occur by chilling socially beneficial behavior (for example, free speech and association) or by leading to power imbalances that adversely affect social structure (for example, excessive executive power).

No, certainly not with Outlook. I moved from a Workspace company to m365 one and expected to just change a habit here and there but that is not true. In terms of UX, Gmail and Calendar are light years ahead of Outlook.
In terms of aesthetic choices, I think the design does hold up quite well.

In 2011, 6% of internet traffic was mobile, compared to 56% in 2021 (according to the first Google result I clicked)

I wouldn't say not having a mobile-responsive design back then was entirely a design failure. I recall in the early days of smartphones, the vision for mobile browsers was they were "desktop class" and would display pages exactly like how they are on desktop. Look at Steve Jobs' original Safari demo during the iPhone reveal. Everyone was blown away by the full desktop experience of The New York Times and Amazon. This website was a few years into the iPhone revolution, but it was early enough into the mobile responsiveness era that I don't think it takes away from their point. The current design could be adapted to a mobile responsive page without needing an overhaul of the existing design language.

> I've always wondered why there isn't a solid tech company that could build a product that could take over Arc's business

A few reasons:

1.) many geotech companies require on premise installations because they want control of their data and/or the internet quality at remote sites is poor. This means that a SaaS solution is a non-starter.

2.) Most geotechs are already familiar with Arc tools due to Arc’s aggressive marketing to universities

3.) Arc is a swiss army knife which can do most things “good enough”. For most businesses Arc can do what they want out of the box. Products like felt only have 1/10th or less of the functionality as Arc.

We are in the process of replacing Arc with our own custom platform at my company. If you are a heavy user of Arc you quickly outgrow the capabilities of the system. We want to serve petabytes of geotechnical data, and Arc quickly starts to choke on data sizes that large. The operational work of keeping Arc up and running smoothly is also a major headache since you don’t have access to the source code and the error messages in Arc are very poor which means you rely on ESRI support a lot.
A lot of this is from not actually having concrete reasons for why they designed something some way, aside from trends and fashion (which seems to be avoided admitting to at all costs)
This was an interesting read for me.

I have a cabin on some land near Joshua Tree. There's water in the ground (300-400ft down) but I haven't bothered to put in a well, instead just hauling what little I need from the nearby town's bulk water dispenser.

Unlike AZ apparently, CA doesn't allow any new construction without a secure and sufficient water supply. Installing new cisterns for receiving hauled water is no longer permitted, but existing cisterns are grandfathered in. It seems like they never make any exceptions. A nearby fire station permanently closed when their well water was found to be too toxic and they weren't permitted to install a cistern for hauled water.

It seems like AZ could solve this issue state-wide by adopting a similar permitting requirement, instead of having these parcels-of-5 loopholes enabling entire subdivisions to be built without water.

The problems my area has been dealing with are illegal agriculture (large marijuana grows) depleting the ground water, and there's always some hare-brained commercial plan trying to plow through the red-tape and resell the cheap but finite groundwater in one form or another.
Ask HN: What do you do when you’re a Software Developer who doesn’t code?
This is kind of a strange question but through a company restructure my job title has changed from Senior Analyst to Senior Software Developer, yet I am doing neither Analytics nor SWE at this point.

My day to day work involves configuration in a front end application that doesn’t require “raw” coding. The most code I ever end up touching is occasionally pulling data with a SQL query or editing an .xml file.

I am very lost on how to pivot in my career. I do have some coding experience but mainly in SQL and doing very brief classes on C++ and Swift. I do have a lot of experience finding the right hardware/software solution to different issues in previous jobs.

Additionally, I’m not even sure I want to keep pursuing code or do it as a career. It’s a great set of skills but it’s not my strongest skill. I love technology and creative projects but I’m having a LOT of trouble finding the right job.

Recruiters from companies reach out but only because my title leads them to believe I can fit into SWE positions.

How do I move forward from here? I feel like my title has trapped me in a corner with my options.

I'm highly skeptical that anything on social media ever gets deleted, it is saved to catalogue your actions and choices, which later can all be easily pulled up on a dashboard to view your characteristics at any time, especially if you gain popularity, wealth, or notoriety.

We're at a point where private companies can easily amass enough data to blackmail individuals, or to subtly influence and manipulate them. These are dark times.

We really have to come to a realistic understanding that the algorithms serve the purpose of making platforms profit more so than the role of showing us the best and most suited content to us as individuals... When each account can advertise/promote posts on platforms, it becomes less of an algorithm recommending content to us, and more of a system on rails, where most of what we're being shown is content that has been sponsored to be played for us.

This is why search results are often hobbled and handicapped on large content sites like YouTube, Reddit, and TikTok... Even the search results rely upon most viewed content, which can easily be garnered and skewed by individuals and companies that pay to promote their content. We need to stop fooling ourselves into the ideal that we have control over what we see on large-scale content platforms. It's chaotically scripted in most cases and, more often than not, driven by those who contribute the most cash to the advertising machines that platforms build, and by what the platforms pick to drive that revenue.
Language works against us in identifying subjectivity. Too often we reflexively reach for a description formulated with the copula. This reifies our subjectivity into an assumed objectivity but does so in an epistemologically duplicitous way. It's a very old trick, and it still works on us. The cogito functions the same way.
I don't think having the names recognizable is a sign of anything. If you look into the history of what are the iconic classic movies now, you'd see that it's not unusual to have people who are either relatively unknown or nothing special to come into one great movie and have a spectacular career afterwards. Great movie can launch an actor, but great actor alone can rarely save a bad movie.

I am much more concerned about show's creators attempts to "improve" Tolkien and turn it into a Platform(TM) for the Message(TM), instead of concentrating on telling a good story using the material Tolkien left us. That, unfortunately, is not an uncommon occurrence nowdays. If that happens, the series is doomed to mediocrity or worse, regardless of which names are attached to it or how much is spent on it.

Still, we obviously have to see it before making any judgement.
