The crazy part is that there are plenty of people making money off of "lifestyle" businesses. They cobbled their websites together using technologies we wouldn't even look down our noses at. They work 20 hour weeks and enjoy their freedom the rest of the time.

I think we buy into the story that it has to be so difficult, but it doesn't.

Most mobile browsers have a "request desktop site" feature, which I assume would involve spoofing the user agent to look like the desktop version.
Duelling went out of fashion in the Western world by the turn of the last century. It didn't take laws or force, they began to be seen as slightly ridiculous and no one wants to look silly, especially in matters of honour. No civil war required.

It would be so nice if Americans could somehow hand in their guns. On the Old Continent, if you are upset at XY and say that XY ought to be shot, it's viewed as obvious hyperbole, because people don't shoot each other. In America, it's a threat, because the culturally acceptable thing for an upset person is to go on a rampage with a firearm. It's crazy.

Please, no talk about "personal responsibility for one's safety". It's the environment that is safe or not, and a single person is plainly incapable of defending themselves against it. In a variation on Peel's principles, it's not the individual's responsibility to shoot criminals, it's society's task to prevent crime. I'm very cynical and have found that universally whoever talks about "personal responsibility" wants to unload their responsibilities on you.

Downvoters, shoot away!
I just re-booked my flight to get home from Vegas (where Ben just was) a day earlier as well. My team was super confused about this - but y'all, sometimes you just need to go home and sometimes you just need to be alone.
Yes, let's arm the teachers. And when we're reading, a few years later about the tragic shooting in Hunt County a High School, where the Chemistry teacher went nuts and shot 51 students, we will once again lay fault at the feet of the lack of guns. Maybe the kids should have guns too, to protect them from the armed teachers?

Or, maybe just maybe, it might lead to less deaths by shooting if there were less guns floating around to do the shooting with?

It's pretty standard to take a break after a long period of hard work. Especially if it starts to feel like burnout.

I'll probably write an enlightening blog post one day about how sometimes you have to take a nap during the day, especially if you feel sleepy. I'll encapsulate it into a life lesson: Don't lie to yourself, you are sleepy so just take that nap.

Life is now.

If you‘re doing something for money so that you can live your life the way you want later, that doesn‘t work because it takes time to learn to live your life the way you want. Typically it takes a lifetime to do that, so you must start early: you must start now if you wish to make it. Otherwise you‘ll end up with a lot of cash and no idea of what kind of life makes you fulfilled.

If you‘re doing something to make a difference – or to make the world a better place – then if you feel like you‘re running out of time then you‘re probably doing it wrong. That sort of goals are rarely if ever such undertakings that are constrained by time. Paradoxically, life is short yet there‘s always plenty of time so as to not have to hurry things. If you work madly for a few years what is it that you think you‘ll win from it if you compare doing that thing you can‘t not do for decades? Or maybe you weren‘t doing a thing you can‘t not do in the first place?

Rush is a sign that you have grown an inflated sense of importance. Nothing is that important, not even the important things.

If you‘re building a company, you have all the time to grow the business. Some families have been doing that for centuries, many individuals for decades. If you have a really great idea, take the time to work on it. If you‘re lucky, someone else does the same thing and finishes faster than you which means you don‘t have to do it at all! You can just enjoy the benefits of the addition of widget X or feature Y in the pool of things tangible in our lives. Maybe the idea wasn‘t that unique after all. But some ideas are and thosee you can work on for years. For many things in life, building them slower makes them last longer. Even a good relationship or a family tree.

For these reasons, I consider it a better approach to weave the things you can‘t not do and your life together. This removes a divide: life goes on at its own pace and along comes your calling but they‘re not in conflict. There‘s no contrast between work and family, or business and private life because everything is scattered around in the timeline of your life in small pieces. There‘s always some work but there‘s always home and family too. Neither is more important than the other and none of the areas can continuously hog a big chunk of your focus.

Daddy must work now, daddy has to write an important email because those people need daddy‘s opinion.

I can‘t have the meeting today, I need to cook dinner and water the garden with my daughter.
Seeing the words "Facebook and "anonymous" together is a little odd, given how use of Facebook, and its policies, is often seen as being the exact opposite of anonymous.
I am so sorry to hear this. That must be heartbreaking.
Generally what i have seen is that people get depressed because of some painful event which happened in their lives.

Like, you get depressed when your partner leaves you, or you're fired from a job or death of a loved one. So, i haven't seen anyone getting depressed without any painful emotion. Maybe I am highly wrong in that.

Lets say, I clear my ignorance by believing/understanding that depression is an illness without any reason. But, making a statement like "depression needs no reason" ain't correct either. Both possibilities exist.

If I may rephrase, I was just curious about the reason, if it existed, why Dan Ha was depressed.
It's not just about gun control.

It's about people in this country treating guns like their favorite playtoy.

Every freaking thing glorifies guns and what used to be people just committing suicide is now "hell I'll take a dozen people with me because it is so easy".

It's a mental illness and we absolutely refuse to deal with mental illness in this country.
Sounds crazy, but this is an irrational fear that I have for myself or loves ones; I'll go out one day but won't make it at my destination without anyone knowing where I am.

That's awesome that PerfectAudience does that, and more and more DSPs are definitely waking up to that as well which is great.

What do you do to help inform what the settings should be? Unless an advertiser has a solution like VisualIQ, Convertro, Adometry, etc. (and they've all been bought up so who knows what will happen to them), or GA Premium, they likely don't have a dynamic attribution solution in place to help inform them as to what those values should be and how they are shifting over time (because in reality those weights are anything but static).

I really wish DSPs did more in the way of thought leadership on how to properly value view-throughs and other ways of measuring contribution as view-throughs are the majority of what they drive, and that metric is coming under increasing scrutiny (as it should).
That's quite a loaded and passive-aggressive non-response. It does not befit this forum and certainly does not display the maturity I'd require from anybody reviewing my resume. It's so filled with assumptions I don't even know where to begin. Truly, I do not know how you deduced from my post that I don't care about writing well-optimized code. You clearly didn't understand what I wrote.
I think that decision is a very personal one, and only you can make it. With that being said, here are a few points that should (perhaps) inform your decision:

1. How much institutional support (and energy) is there to get the paid version shipped? Is everyone else burnt out and jumping ship, or could you realistically stay the course and get that product out the door?

2. Even if you shipped the paid version, would the revenue be enough to cover the burn rate? It looks like you guys raised 3 million over the course of the past year, and burned through it (correct me if I have that wrong, just getting the data from your Angellist page). At that burn rate, your premium version (at your stated price of $5 per user per month) would need to onboard roughly 50,000 paid users to be at the break-even point (though probably more than that since your costs would go up). Is onboarding than many users feasible?

If you can ship the premium version and onboard a ton of users all before the rest of the team throws up their hands...maybe you should go for it; give it one last college try.

I'm not a historian, but the bottom class seems toke a lot of debt. That's a common way for a free man to become a slave. Also, debt relieve (or the lack of) was always a big reason for mass movements or riots.
As for peasants, I'm not sure about Europe, but in China they are one of the biggest client group. They would take out loans in planting season and pay it back in harvest. The standardization of these loans' terms and making it a government monopoly is a big part of Wang Anshi's[1] reform.

In Italy its socially unacceptable to be publicly drunk.

Think how nice your country would be if that were so where you live too.

In Switzerland - where most men have a proper army rifle at home - when there's a break those men don't think "where's my gun?" to go get it and use it but rather to hope that the thief doesn't find it.

(Just picking countries I have actually spent time in; if you can pick out other local norms that you think would make the world a nicer, safer place please share; there's bound to be loads more!)

Social norms will police society. Who wants to live in a bigger society where people seem to buy guns with the explicit intention of actually having the ability to use them on others?

The US doesn't need laws it needs a change in the definition of acceptability. Let guns be the defining acquisition of low-life scum and let the idea that respectable people would arm themselves against the scum be ludicrous and giving in to letting the scum terrorize.

I know everyone is going to downvote everyone in this whole thread based on whether they are pro or con guns, which is a shame; better if we used the votes to promote a meaningful debate regardless of which side we personally shoot for?
It really is too bad that there are only those two options. /s

Yep, the question is whether as a society you'd rather have them building bridges and schools or forming bands and writing (mostly pretty bad) poetry.

I can see arguments for both but honestly I think the first is an easier sell for the vast majority of citizens.

If you feel like your inflation is high enough and you don't really want more people out there writing poetry, basic income doesn't seem like such a great deal.

Our Development Workflow
Only in software industry do we still fee this way! For e.g. Can we imagine a car delivered to us without involvement of any third party components?

Why do we feel software always has to be built from scratch or use free (open?) stuff? What is wrong in software being built on credible third party services?

Perhaps the sign of a mature industry is when such credible third party partnerships become the norm...

Guns are pretty funny in this country. It is a very polarizing issue. I don't really get it. Why people care so much to either have them or not have them.

Maybe they should be worried more about road safety, heart disease, diabetes, wars so many more pressing issues.

I hear all this talk about "well it is in the Constitution". Let's talk about Constitution. It is a not a scroll passed down from God, contrarry to what many believe. Founding Fathers are not Moses and Abraham. It was a piece of paper written hudreds of years ago, when arms meant rifles and pistols. Some things in it cannot be taken literally anymore. What was the purpose of letting people have arms? Presumably not just to hunt rabbits, but mostly to protect against government abuse and to be able to overthrow it.

Except arms doesn't mean rifles anymore. It means ICMBs, sattelites, fighter jets, shaped charges, IEDs, EMPs, aircraft carriers. Climbing on the roof of your house with a rifle will do jack shit to being able to oppose or protect against "government abuse". It is pointless and stupid. I've seen people go to Startbucks with their AR-15 slung over the shoulder. Really? This is a grown up toddler walking around showing their toy off. Maybe it should be one of those thing if someone really really wants a gun, they shouldn't be allowed to have it, because they are a little too obsessed with it.

On the other side, I don't get the "lets ban the guns" crowd either. So what if some people want to go to gun ranges and shoot soda cans. Or even be idiots and show off their AR-15 at Startbucks. They won't overthrow the government because they'll start shooting each other first. Criminals will find ways to get access to guns anyway. Want to save the children. Best way is to put more money into education, healthcare, social care, after school programms, assist parents and so on.
Could all the downvoters explain why this isn't or shouldn't be a genuine concern? I know that GnuPG is not a network server, but there's a still lot of potential for various exploits in format parsers, etc.
Certs don't secure the connection; they establish the identity of the server you're connecting to (i.e. trust).

This should help that. You can be more confident that it's not being man in the middled.
Cool project. However, I think using promises or ES6 generators are a more viable option to escaping callback hell.

While using C automatically shields you from timing attacks and buys you portability? Right. It is not even supported on 64-bit Windows yet. (I'm not saying that there's a need to support 64-bit Windows; I'm just demonstrating that it's not portable. It's not portable because the codebase assumes some flavor of unix and because C is underspecified. long is 64-bit on 64-bit linux platforms, 32-bit on 64-bit MSWin. It's a C problem, not a Windows problem.)
It appears the normalized_hot is only used for the first two pages. The rankings after that are subreddit-agnostic.
This is totally true. There are a ton of things to criticize about VS, but I keep coming back to it because the autocomplete is perfect. It's so good! [0]

Doing this in Emacs, etc, is possible. But it requires hours and hours of setup and maintenance. Whenever somebody tries to solve this issue by making "prepacked" Emacs config with batteries included (e.g. Prelude), people criticize it for causing compatibility issues and not training people to understand Emacs.[1]

Guess what? I'm a hacker, not an IDE pilot. If I want to hack on my Emacs build, I want the ability to do so. But it shouldn't be anathema to use OSS configs you don't understand at the lowest level, because not everyone's goal needs to be knowing their IDE like he back of their hand. Getting people to accept this has the potential to push FOSS tools to the forefront of enterprise and the mainstream. Despite what you might think from the insular posts on HN, most coders don't use Vim and Emacs, or even the more "responsible" IDE.

[1] I wonder if this is because of the API features of Roslyn. I don't use C# enough to have studies the compiler, but I've heard it's an amazing piece of engineering.

[0] s/emacs/vim if you like, it applies just as well.
You are speaking complete nonsense.

> because people don't shoot each other. In America, it's a threat, because the culturally acceptable thing for an upset person is to go on a rampage with a firearm. It's crazy.

It's crazy? No this idea of yours is. Where did you get it? Some bizarre movie?

No, in America people pretty much never shoot each other. I've heard there is this perception in other countries that you constantly have people shooting each other in America, but actually you don't. You could go your entire life and not see a gun.

> It's the environment that is safe or not

And it's safe. Not sure what that has to do with guns though. I guess the more guns people have the safer?

I think you might want to come to America and visit Texas, or some other area with greater than 50% gun ownership. You'll never feel safer.

You perception and reality are so far apart that words are not likely to convince you.

Kids don't stay the same size for long, and clothing, shoes, and so on can be mended. You also had a larger pool of local resources to draw on than just the immediate family. (Nothing was thrown away until it couldn't be used for anything else.) The concept of hand-me-downs (and darned socks, for that matter) was ordinary when I was a young child, and while I may not be young by many people's standards, I don't quite go back to the late medieval. Depending on the article of clothing, going through three or four kids would be pretty normal. (Knee patches were pretty common on "play clothes", and there was a difference between your school clothes and your play clothes. If dungarees were involved, you actually wanted to be the second or third in line so you could bend your knees without much effort.) By the time I was entering my teens, those habits were pretty much restricted to infant clothing.

> the reason Amazon is in hardware is because they are terrified of 'ok google, order me lighbulbs'

If that's the case, they should worry about Google Shopping Express and same-day delivery vs. 2-day after it's shipped. When Google does roll it out to most US metros, they likely are going to add it as an option to "Ok Google". And in a few hours, your order will be on your doorstep.

I mean, Amazon's delivery chain is absolutely amazing, but it simply can't compete with local delivery.

You are actually quite wrong. All those weapons you mention are useless for dealing with small groups of people. Those weapons are for taking out huge installations and entire countries.

Even the most oppressive government you can imagine does not kill its citizens in mass, they do it in small numbers. And rifles work perfectly fine to protect against that.

They might not help if the government decided to take out an entire city - but the government can't do that very often before having no one to govern.

Look at Syria and ISIS. What weapons are they using against the established government of the area? (Not making moral judgments here by saying "established", just using them as an example.) They are using small arms, not fighter jets.
I saw a Joyent manta demo at a node.js roadshow/meet-up a year or so ago, and it was impressive. It's lovely to see the action (code)/object (data) relationship rethought, whereby they said "let's bring the tools to the data instead of lugging data to the tools." It's also cool, refreshing, and validating to see "the tools" being Unix. "Imagine you want to grep across a dataset and sort those records and pull out some key fields with awk..." No need to imagine: that could be your exact plan, using the familiar tools you know and love.

I'm looking forward to trawling (ha! more nautical theming!) this code for the education, and maybe some gems.
