I've switched recently to a self-hosted TinyTinyRSS, and it works like a charm: http://tt-rss.org

I've been trying to rid of Google products as much as possible. I have a mail-server, an ownCloud instance and since recently also TT-RSS. These kinds of applications expose so much of your behaviour and interests. I don't feel it is in my best interest to expose these.
Totally agree. Ebooks, unless sold in a DRM-free format with no restrictions on reselling, are services.

Goods are a thing you own, can use for whatever purpose you want and can sell on after you've bought it.

This way of looking at things present new questions: Should phones on a contract be regarded as services too?

Well, maybe not 'mediocre', but they have certainly self-selected their applicant pool.
We generally pick a hashtag on twitter and do it that way. We've also done Hangouts On Air for non-hardware in the past which have been pretty fun as well.
Ronson did an interview with Alex Jones where they both talked about what they saw when they infiltrated Bohemian Grove. It was fascinating to see a complete conspiracy denialist debate with a complete conspiracy true-believer. It was a serious Rashomon moment.
> I don't think you appreciate the impact.

I don't think you appreciate the degree to which definitions of categories in law (and thus rulings on the boundaries of such classifications) are specific to narrow domains or even particular enactments. This is about categories under European Value-Added Tax (VAT) rules, not the general philosophical category you are describing.
"I run my own mail server, but..."

Whelp, there's your problem.
> Hank's employer had the power to shrug off the episode and keep employing him. Instead, they ceded their power to a minority/controversial view.

To cede your power to a minority is exactly to grant that power to them. That's exactly what I'm talking about.

> Adria's employer, on the other hand, was actually being attacked over the situation. Maybe they could have withstood it, maybe they bucked early. Still, it's not like anyone granted 4chan users power - they already had it and decided to use it against SendGrid.

SendGrid didn't grant 4chan the power to DDoS them. But they surely granted the trolls power to get someone from the company fired over a stupid Twitter dispute. The next time they'll be considering whether or not to launch another attack to get someone fired, they will be more eager to go through with it.
But it's still a product! I can sum this up that all services are products but not all products are services. So if I were to publish a book which would classify as "work" which I can copyright. At this point, I have a product that doesn't exist yet other than a word document ready to be sent off to publishers. The publisher will take my "work" and print it out into a physical book which we can clasify as a product. They can also format it into a electronic version of the book which is also a product. Now, how the publisher can send it off to a service provider like Amazon Kindle to distribute it (that's a service)
The UK and Ireland have 0% VAT rates which are allowed as they were essentially grandfathered in. They aren't allowed to be expanded, however.
I'm not entirely clear if this decision was about all e-books or only those that are provided as services (the article cites Amazon, which I would classify as a service, and it is not entirely clear if a download of an unrestricted file is covered or not)
Do you have the various auth headers setup on for your mx records? I have to go through that ordeal occasionally when setting up outgoing emails for sendgrid or mailchimp campaigns. There are some things you can due to reduce the likely hood of mail being auto flagged as spam although in a lot of ways it is out of your hands.
That is a beautifully clear explanation.

Can you do one for monads?
Except for the legal mechanisms it's all in place already. That the implicit becomes explicit is good, in my opinion.
I'm a big fan of looking at developers' github contributions. It's a good way to see that they can actually write code and it doesn't involve a high-pressure whiteboard test.

On the other hand, it can be a negative for somebody working for a company that discourages or forbids open sourcing their work. Or people who don't have free time to spend on FOSS projects.
Hi ! I am also in Paris. Would you mind dropping me an email ? my info are in my contact page. Thanks !
You are misunderstanding what is happening. He is not using Gmail, his employees are.
Whichever way you look at it your privacy is better protected if one party knows rather than both parties knowing, so this is definitely a win if you already use Facebook. If you don't then the new option is irrelevant.
Neither am I.

Especially since you can configure gmail to serve as an interface to arbitrary third party POP3/IMAP services.
Right.

And, well, I am sympathetic to the argument that Google shouldn't do things the wrong way. But you really have no leverage to make them. Google offers the ability to use Gmail for e-mail sent to your domain, that's Google Apps For Business (or I guess Google Apps For Work). If that's unacceptable, you either have to deal with Google not caring about your needs (unless you're paying them, you're not the customer anyway) or do without Google.

Same Here, just finished my studies and I work usually for around 60€ / Hour for quick jobs (less than a Week). But I prefer to charge for full projects than by hour, since my work is more finally more of an web agency than a standard developer.

When I was being recruited by Google I was frustrated by having great phone calls with recruiters, doing well in my phone interview and never hearing a followup.

Turned out all the emails from @google.com were going into my Gmail spam. I think they still do (no matter how many I've marked as not spam).

Oops.
Lets say that a ruling that entitles consumers for the same right for digital book "services" as for physical would have been preferable.

Which ironically is the reason I most often hear from Gmail advocates/apologists for why they advocate Gmail over running your own e-mail server.

I don't disagree. E-mail is a mess. Still, on the whole, for any person or organization with modest technical chops, I feel the freedom and decentralization (which is a positive for the entire ecosystem) is reason alone for retaining control by self-hosting.
I thought so :-) But young people could see your post and take it at face value, thinking that such harassment is justified.
Because shared environment effects are typically small or trivial. You don't need a formal analysis to have a high confidence that the food preferences will be partially or mostly heritable, just like everything else. In particular, we already know that anything to do with obesity is extremely heritable and shared environment matters far less than everyone believes: see the studies in https://jaymans.wordpress.com/obesity-facts/

"if I had kids, I wouldn't tell jokes" is clearly taken out of context, so to your 'Seriously?' comment: Seriously? nice way to read it to support your own bias.

Hank's life wasn't ruined. Adria's life has been most damaged, no employment for a long time, death threats, and this article will probably cause her a lot more grief. How many people in this thread have taken it upon themselves to send more abuse her way?

Why is this article even on hacker news? To support the down-trodden software developers?
I would assume it was both. Assuming they were already thinking about the problem, that forced a decision. Either way, when the whole thing came to their attention, they had to have realized that her action, as noted "speaking in her capacity as a SendGrid spokesperson" had made her utterly toxic to the vast majority of developers who are not "black Jewish females". If she displayed any of the attitudes WRT responsibility evident from the Guardian article if and when they talked to her, the decision would not have even been very difficult.

Plus, people like Elon Musk and Richard Branson have built up enough credibility in their own names, that when they say "we're going to make commercial space travel possible" you tend to believe them, because they don't make those kinds of announcements without having done significant research ahead of the announcement.

I'll agree you need bold commitment, but the last thing you want is to commit to a concept that doesn't have any outlooks on whether or not people want it, much less, pay for it.
https://www.mail-tester.com is a great tool for testing this.
>attracts a certain type of person, and intimidates another. And it may be that it intimidates more women than men.

This is classic horseshoe theory, where extremists on both ends of a spectrum actually wrap around and start to sound the same. In this case they both believe that women are delicate flowers who can't handle the pressure, stress, and competition of the working world like men can.
Looks very similar to Stacey[1], which also uses Twig and Markdown. Are there any significant differences between the two?

I didn't take the article as anything negative against YC. The founders were thrown off their confidence early in the interview, and the interview is only 10 minutes, so it was impossible to recover. They left the room feeling like they bombed the interview, which was a fair assessment I guess.

That said, you might be missing a lot of interesting people and ideas with only 10 minutes to evaluate both.
~all is exactly the problem.

Shame this comment isn't further up.

I have a similar setup, and upon reading the RFC, I though ~all was the flag for the desired behavior. Turns out, it's not.
I've been a programmer for 20+ years. For the longest time I didn't see any discrimination in tech, probably because everybody I worked with was also a young white guy.

Except those over the hill freaks with their comb overs and sandals with socks. Fortunately their skill sets were rapidly obsolete, so we got rid of them.

On the other hand, my wife (a senior Oracle DBA with close to 20 years of experience) sees it on a regular basis. It's disheartening to hear her talk about it because I realize I'm guilty of many of the same behaviours.

I guess I could try to protect my ego and claim it's not sexism, but that's not who I want to be. I don't want to be the guy denying something I know to be true.

I went into an interview a couple of years ago and realized I was about 20 years older than everybody in the company. I don't have a comb over and I don't wear socks with sandals, but it was pretty obvious I was too old to work there. That's the day I realized my job opportunities are becoming limited. I should have seen it coming.

Hmm, maybe it's possible women don't want to be in tech because of the sexism they face.
Also curious as to what you think is missing. In my experience, server side Dart is full featured and awesome. There are also the Shelf libraries (https://pub.dartlang.org/search?q=shelf) – in time I plan to refactor to use them.
i am the exact opposite. ha ha ha ... once i get going on a problem, you could fire a cannon next to my ear and i may notice. as a matter of fact, i prefer noise around me when i'm working. i'm not being sarcastic. i'm pretty good at my job, although no genius (not even that smart) by any stretch in any way :)

but i feel that this ability to hyper-concentrate helps me overcome an otherwise average intelligence. anyone else experiences this?
I don't know about D-K and mediocre developers, but I do know that those coming out on top of any test only proves one thing: that you are good at the test.

Let's say for argument's sake that the test is accurate (it flawlessly measures what its creators intended to measure.) This still doesn't mean that those who score highest are the "best." It only indicates congruence with the test designers.

The fact that Fog Creek has 0% gender diversity is evidence of this and indicates a underlying lack of diversity in many areas. So the question remains "Is a company that is an echo chamber full of mini-mes superior to one with a variety of opinions, habits, thinking styles, and working practices?"

I don't know the answer, but I think it's a good question.
I figure when he's starting to realise that the wins are not really wins, he will also realise he's not been "getting one over" on us.

At the same time, there are always things you can negotiate on. E.g. I don't care if he's up until 10pm if he can prove to me that he will consistently get up on time and do well at school despite staying up late.

We're already playing that with him: We point out in the mornings if we notice he's tired that he seemed to have gone to bed too late, and we "trade" going to bed earlier on school nights against staying up later during the weekend. As a result he sometimes tells us he wants to go to be before the agreed bedtime.

And I'm willing to be flexible about all kinds of things as long as he's giving us something reasonable in return. E.g. he gets weekly home work, and so I'm willing to skip on doing it one evening if I can trust that he will stick to an agreement of more than making up for it the following evening (and if he doesn't, he knows the consequence is much less freedom for a long time).

I've no doubt I'll still have plenty of challenges down the road.... And he is already a master negotiator, though sometimes he's trying to be too wily for his own good and sometimes ends up talking himself out of a good deal because he doesn't yet understand all the options well enough. So he gets maths lessons this way too...

>As I already said and as I clearly written in our apply, we are currently in pre-beta so we just developed apps for internal usage, nothing is on the market yet.

I hope this isn't a verbatim quote from the interview. Your interviewees were obviously very smart people, if they keep asking the same question (or what seems to be the same questions) it means you have not answered it properly. Therefore saying things like "As I already said" leaves an impression that you don't understand what they are asking.

Thanks for writing this up though. All too often we hear about the successful candidates. It's good to hear the other side of things.
The conclusion (spoiler alert) that showing gratitude can help fight the negative emotional reaction to impatience sounds a lot like stoicism. Particularly the idea that you should think about the positive things that you have, rather than the negative thing happening to you right now (being stuck in a slow moving line).

I run my own mail server, and I've found it to be pretty much pain free. Of course I'm the only one who uses it, and I don't do fancy stuff, but after a few bumps when starting out, it works great. I've only had to fix things occasionally, like heartbleed. On the whole, it's been really nice. Is my experience abnormal?
> I would actually count that as a 4.7kg improvement!

When I quoted 2kg of weight, I meant '2kg of weight', not anything more complex. That's the total change. The exercising twins weigh 2kg less, total, all in all, on average. (If you think you've found a twisty interpretation of quoted figures which is more positive than it looks, please check the fulltext first - that's why I provided it!)
"And it may be that it intimidates more women than men."

I've been looking around for a developer recently, and in looking at the profiles of women vs. men at places like AngelList I noticed a few key differences in how they described themselves. We're talking about people with very similar academic backgrounds here with similar levels of experience.

Women would say things like "I worked on a team that did X," while men -- who obviously did the same kind of work -- would simply say "I did X." Women would highlight the cooperative nature of their work, while men would give the impression that they did it all themselves. In my experience the former is typically more honest, especially if you actually were working on a team or on a team-oriented college project.

Women also tend to highlight team-oriented and non-technical skills more than men in general, which to techie-minded hacker types gives the impression that they are not strong on the technical end.

I also noted my reaction to these differences. Introspecting, I noticed that I tended to assume that "being on a team" meant riding the coattails of the other team members. If I noted this bias in myself, it's probably pretty common.

I decided to try to de-program myself of this bias by thinking of all the counter-examples I've seen.

I do believe in the "10X programmer" -- for the simple reason that there are 10X everything elses. There are 10X athletes, 10X businesspeople/salespeople, 10X artists, 10X anythings. When we look for employees or contractors we are looking for that 10X standout, or at least someone who's going to grow into one. But being really good at something is not mutually exclusive with working on a team or highlighting non-technical skills, and the inverse is also not correlated. I've met plenty of monomaniacal "closet programmers" who really aren't any good. They sit alone stewing in their huge egos and churn out crap. (But then again I've met some who are. There does not seem to be a strong correlation.)

There's probably quite a few really talented female programmers out there who are being passed over because they don't conform to the "whip it out and let me measure it" customs of technical recruitment. I also suspect that this does drive women from the field.
Those are Gmail accounts belonging to his employees but he is using them in the back of his mail setup instead of hosting @dnalounge.com inboxes himself (or paying Google to).
I'm with you sbt because I just don't see any real reason for people to use this. However, I may live in a bubble because I just don't have my phone in hand all day long. I even leave the house without it occasionally! (The horror!) I also turn off wifi and mobile data when I'm done using it.

Unless every merchant accepts phone payments, I don't see how anyone could walk around with just a phone in their pocket anyway, so point #1 may be moot.

Don't worry about deciding on this too much though because I'm sure we'll all be chipped before too long and then you won't have a choice but to be tracked. At least things will be convenient though!
errors in deferred functions are handled just like they would be if the function were not deferred. There are some things like division by zero and array index out of bounds that cannot be used with this method without making the language incredibly cumbersome... for those, there are panics (basically like exceptions in other languages)... but they happen quite rarely in practice.
For the record, my first thought was that Jessica might be more or less normal in her ability to judge character, it's just that in comparison the metaphorical "neckbeard" members of the rest of the team are bad at it.
I'm not sure if my expectations were overly optimistic, but using the 'Ask Watson' feature in the beer demo gave REALLY disappointingly inaccurate answers to very simple questions about beer.

e.g. "What is beer made from?" resulted in what appeared to just be a link to a wikipedia article on Brewerys. Not sure if this is implementation issues or representative of the underlying Watson API.
I was being a tad facetious. I used to as well, but these days I just use a smart phone or tablet with a suitable note taking app, since I always have one with me anyway. My main point is I don't see the difference between taking notes digitally or on paper.
The word "chutney" is not even in the article. It just talks about putting onions with coconuts and curry leaves. And in fact you will find that the vast majority of coconut chutney does NOT have onions.

Curry leaves are interesting, they are not used in Bengal. In spite of Bengal being tropical like parts of South India.
> No-one who is serious about training would expect any body composition changes from an easy run twice a week, except at the very lowest levels.

What's wrong with that as a minimum cutoff level?

And if that's how people actually exercise, then the inefficacy is important to know. This reminds me of the arguments that 'communism has not failed, it's never been tried!' (Real exercise has not failed, it's never been tried by these twins...)

I still use Persona on over 300 sites for 50k+ users.

It remains one of the best auth components I've ever used, and I have zero issues from users relating to it.

What sucks is that at some point I'll have to remove this great component because they stopped working on it, and will inevitably sunset the hosted service.
I think Bard's Tale 2 had a code wheel which I photocopied as a kid for playing on my C64. Wasteland had that little book you had to refer to for little text snippets.
My naive wish would be for companies to hold employees accountable when they are acting officially or on the job. But if you're off the job and not acting officially that people could be their ugly or nice selves without repercussions at the job. I wish there could be this hard separation of private and public life, but it seems impossible.

I would like to think that if I ever become an employer I could allow the Adrias and trolls of the world keep on doing what they do in the off hours, so long as they don't implicate the company. And when people want to complain and boycott I could have the courage to tell them to fuck off because I have no input an an employees private life and I only care how well they do things at work.

I know this cannot work in practice, but I'd like it to be that way. People are complicated, they are not monolithic personalities, they are conflicted, I think we need to understand that. We also need to understand that people who are perfect are only so because their indiscretions have not be on public.
