> your desire to buy a “simple” car impacts my ability to breathe

This kind of hyperbole is exactly why we have the president we do.

RetroPi + [8bitdo N30](http://www.8bitdo.com/n30pro-f30pro/) controller is the best gaming box I've ever owned.

If the company or client makes a point about me being a minority or begins to tell me about their diversity or inclusion efforts, that's a hard-pass.

I can't wait for the HN comments telling you you're wrong even though it's lived experience because they want a place where they can spend their tech windfall before it's "ruined" by Americans.

Yeah, simply the playground of rich Americans instead of a piggy-bank for a corrupt government that executed political opponents and routinely jails dissidents.

But yeah, it was a darker time in the 50s.

> Did you know that neither mpv or mplayer bottles ship with libdvdread support?

Maybe because Apple doesn't ship a computer with a DVD drive and hasn't for ~5 years?

So... a wiki?

Final Cut

Having everyone's code break is not the greater good

Our studio, Marquee (https://www.marquee.studio), has an in-house publishing platform called Proof (https://www.proof.pub) that we started back in 2012 which couples fully customizable editorial tools and content model, a headless CMS, and React/Serverless based SDK to compile static websites specifically for editorial and content marketing teams. An example that was designed by our team and managed through Proof that HN is probably familiar with is The First Round Review (http://firstround.com/review/).

It's a similar approach that Netlify has put together and works great. Can't advocate for it strongly enough.

Reminds me of Guag.es https://get.gaug.es/ or https://haveamint.com/ if you want to dig into the crates a bit.

This is pretty brilliant and fits an immediate need we have. Signing up today.

I think what happened is a lot of people in our cohort figured out how to use the trolling techniques honed on forums and in flamewars on the general public. You can see it reflected across the web now in ways that have caused real, lasting damage.

And while I agree that we're the first digital natives, I think what screwed the pooch was a massive influx of boomers into social networks, and everything that comes from having a bunch of non-digital natives suddenly being given tools they weren't ready to handle.

Who knew a textarea and a notification system could become so troublesome?

For content-driven websites, static sites are great regardless of editorial complexity. We (https://www.marquee.studio) build editorial tools that connect to our headless CMS (https://www.proof.pub) and compile static websites to be distributed on a CDN. Sites load quickly, and it's a much safer to have your CMS decoupled from the eventual editorial product.

If you read [The First Round Review](http://firstround.com/review), you've seen it in action.

> It’s amazing that such simple websites from 1969 survive modern browsers, yet Facebook cannot fix zoom on Safari...

Shut it down, go home everybody. We've hit peak HN.

To be fair, regular people use websites. Regular people do not use chatbots in significant numbers

Plug: Our publishing platform — https://proof.pub — combines an editorial suite, API-based CMS, and Javascript/Sass SDK for creating static compilers using server-side React. When content is released through the editorial suite, we perform a static compilation and push the resulting archive to CloudFront. Works great, sites load quickly, and it all scales very simply.

A real-world example would be the First Round Review (http://firstround.com/review/), designed by our studio (https://marquee.studio) and running on Proof.

I can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.

Do you realize that in addition to fluoridating water, there are studies underway to fluoridate salt, flour, fruit juices, soap, sugar, milk. Ice cream. Children's ice cream.

Fluoridation is the most monstrously conceived and dangerous Communist plot we have ever had to face. A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works.

This is a great idea and I can immediately see how it would be helpful to my company's workflow. Great job!

One thing I'd like to see is a way to associate a data source with a channel. We create a channel for each of our clients, and it would be handy if Statsbot would know to display analytics from Client A when I mention it from Client A's channel.

How else would you suggest a python interpreter know to treat a directory as a module?

Write your own article ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There is no biotech scene, there is simply what the Cuban government allows its scientists to study. There are no private biotech companies competing with each other and no market to serve.

The single best thing you can do is buy the Bentley Repair Manual (http://www.bentleypublishers.com/) for your car. They're expensive, but will show you how to take your model apart and put it back together again. If you want to learn how a car works, the best thing you can do is take one apart and then try to get it running again.

When you're working on a car, dead tree repair guides + a beater laptop are your best friends.

Damn Miamians using their local resources to build businesses serving Latin America.

Great idea, caught a couple grammar problems:

> When a safety issue is raised on one of your kid toys we send you immediate alerts to make sure you are in the known.

should be...

> When a safety issue is raised on one of your kid's toys we send you immediate alerts to make sure you are in the know.

The `kid's` part can also be `kids'`, I think. Maybe. I'm terrible at plural possession.

Leaving a $200K position where you developed a network of people who's business it is to fund companies in two of the biggest tech environments in the country is hardly starting from the bottom.

If you need that much styling control over a text area, using a content editable region and Javascript for the interaction is almost certainly a better option.

Thanks, and I hope when you are ready to publish something, you'll consider us.

Pricing is, admittedly, a pretty by-the-seat-of-our-pants kind of affair right now. We've tried to have pretty extensive conversations with our early users, assessed others in the space, and came up with something we think is reasonable. Time will tell, I suppose, if it'll need to be adjusted one way or the other.
