thank you for your correction, downvoting is not shown for me, so, that was a wrong guess by me.
bedros··on How Forensic Architecture Revealed Details of a Secret Military Prison in Syria
I'm guessing HN users are drinking too much of Hillary's kool aid, therefore they are pro warmongering, pro intervention, and pro causing suffering on the syrian people in the name of saving them. The linked article is great news for them, and my criticism is not acceptable.

corrected: was "only admins can downvote" which is incorrect

> Ad hominem attack.

ok, your point, that accusation does not add much to the argument, and it does not negate the facts I presented? I'm questioning the motive behind the report. and questioning the integrity of amnesty international with supporting facts. it's like someone questioning a propaganda by nazi germany, as it promotes hitler agenda. would you accuse that someone with "Ad hominem attack"

> And just because it's propaganda, doesn't mean it isn't news based on facts.

what facts? this argument is pointless, hearsay is not fact, and hearsay is not admissible in court, that's a fact; we are talking about people who behead other people and eat their liver, do you think it would be too hard for them to make up some stuff and lie. unless they show verifiable facts about dates, locations, victim names, etc.. you can only assume it's fabricated lies.

you should watch a canadian journalist who went to syria and listened to eye witnesses [1], that's a fact, not a report of anonymous people claiming stuff

that's exactly the problem, we don't know who they are, there's no proof they are prison guards or prisoners

and given amnesty history of fabricating lies in the past (as I mentioned above) once can conclude this is a case of another propaganda.

bedros··on Pijul – A free and open source distributed version control system
you should check the AGPL with ghostscript. Personally, I will stay away from any AGPL code.

Basically, ghostscript says you cannot distribute AGPL code with your commercial code, even though they are not linked together, not even on the same media.

bedros··on Ask HN: How do you convince customers to pay you before creating the product?
I got my idea after talking to my dentist, she has a problem that takes too much time to finish in the office, and her dentist software cannot do it, so she needs something that works along her existing software and solves the problem.

just talk to people and try to solve their everyday pain.

bedros··on Ask HN: How do you convince customers to pay you before creating the product?
it depends on customer's level of pain.

I'm currently working on a solution which many potential customers suggested they will test it right away once it's ready, and promised to get me 10 more customers in order to encourage me to work on it full time.

However, I did not get paid yet before the product is ready.

You need to find a solution where it improves the productivity of a business or a person by 10 folds.

for exmaple, if cars are not invented yet, and you promised a farmer with the invention of the truck, so they can take their produce to the city 10 times faster, and increase their productivity and revenue by 10 times. in this case, they will pay you to develop the "truck"

bedros··on If you don’t trust your employees to work remotely you shouldn’t have hired them
the biggest mistake people do is assuming one size fits all. working for home is not for everyone, some people are more productive in a group settings when they other people around are working, and they get more incentive to work harder.

Personally, I prefer giving the choice to allow people to work from home if they are productive; but we need to remember it's not for everyone

bedros··on Awesomo Python: A list of interesting open source projects in Python
horrible website, I have no clue what the project does

is it a graph lib?

is it scientific computing?

I clicked on quick start and went to try it in browser, and it showed me list of files, and it says select file and action, I selected file, and found "duplicate" action, so what is it? a file browser?

bedros··on LeoFS: a highly available, distributed, eventually consistent object/blob store
two questions, first, how does this work with amazon S3, for example, if I use django-storages with support for S3, is it just plug-n-play with minio?

second, deduplication feature is great, for minio and S3 usuage. if the users decided to attach same file to multiple comments (in my case) deduplication would save me a lot.

bedros··on Surprise – a simple recommender system library for Python
most python based web applications are using Django, and Django is BSD licensed.

https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/LICENSE

a recommendation engine is great for all kind of web apps, and licensing it with BSD makes it more adopted by django web apps.

Thanks,

GPLv3 will kill this project.

this is a library, and should have a library license, at least LGPLv3.

this looks exactly what I was looking for; I was thinking of running some tests in selenium and see how the performance of the servers with graphite; I hope your project will save me time

However, I'm not a big fan of go lang :(

is there a way to simulate 100's or 1000's of users accessign the website at the same time?

thanks
