I understand that this might seem rational from an individual's perspective but to exclude your family from society in this way is a tragedy and does not seem like any kind of solution to me.

Zappa[1] allows you to do this (for python WSGI apps - I'm not sure if there is a similar option for hosting a Rails app serverlessly). I've found it very straight-forward to use for my Django app. I also like that if I choose to,

Exactly. You wouldn't have to use this as a replacement for the more traditional subscription because that would still offer much better value (just as subscribing to printed newspapers does).

I've always thought that a possible compromise between per article micro-payments of a few cents and monthly subscriptions might be daily or weekly one off payments. You could visit a site and read an article or two for free so you hav

The best news source in NZ currently (in my opinion) is not behind a paywall, nor is it funded by advertising. It is the publicly funded Radio New Zealand (they have a news site along with the radio stations). Similar could be said for Aust

I think that women tend to be better at creating and maintaining relationships (I'm not necessarily talking about romantic relationships here). I also think that women tend to get more emotional support from their relationships. Men do

It means this comment was heavily downvoted. In this case the comment was originally at least five times longer than it currently is so many of the reasons for the downvoting are no longer apparent.

> “Retina-X Studios is committed to protecting the privacy of its users...” That's rich. The 'users' in this case are not necessarily the people with this appalling software installed on their device.

Thanks for mentioning draw.io. After a quick look around I can see that it will be very useful. I especially like the interface. If it wasn't for my browser interface above I would swear this is a very well made desktop app. Standard O

That's a good point. Though I do think that in a lot of circumstances regular removal of odour is sufficient. I recently spent a few months in the countryside with very little social contact (a great way to get a lot of deep work done)

Once upon a time the accepted tradeoff was between quality and cost. Now it is between quality, cost, and convenience. This is why things like bottled water can cost more than fuel. It's also why Apple can charge a premium for it'

I think the better analogy would be the postal service using return addresses to populate a database.

You're getting a lot of flak for this from people suggesting it's not proven. Just to add to the anecdata, I've known for some time that if I rub my fingertips on a stainless steel spoon after cutting garlic it greatly reduce

Email, SMS, and actual phone calls satisfy almost all of my communication needs. The only problem I have is about once every few weeks someone wants me to Skype/Hangout/Facetime/whatever-the-other-video-chat-options-are. I re

I just followed this link from the HN front page: https://medium.com/@melissamcewen/who-killed-the-junior-deve... I was greeted with a popup informing me that I had now read one of three free stories.

As a lay person, it's not clear to me whether these malacidins were found in mycelium (fungi). I'm inclined to think this is likely. If so, finding them in dirt is not really surprising (30% of dirt is comprised of mycelium - livi

I read it to mean the books, but I still see this as a problem. It's the dismissive attitude towards something that concerns men. If you read enough of The Guardian you can't help but think that this dismissiveness is because it

This type of comment is all too common across The Guardian to the point that it is almost editorial policy. It's a real shame as The Guardian is one of the better major papers out there in my opinion. I just wish they could face the fa

Yes, that was badly worded on my part - the mortgaged properties can and are likely to be productive. What I was trying to get at was that the lending of money to bid up the prices of those assets beyond prices that can be justified by thei

I think finance was already mostly untethered from productive work - at least in the anglosphere. Just look at what banks are lending for these days. It's mostly mortgages. By giving people money just to transfer ownership of unproduct
