Hacker News Guidelines

What to Submit On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. That includes more than hacking and startups. If you had to reduce it to a sentence, the answer might be: anything that gratifies one's intellectual curiosity.

Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Ideological or political battle or talking points. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

ry4n413··on Ask HN: Is anyone here actually against Net Neutrality?
Is Google Fiber expansion ramping back up? It seemed prior to the election they were not looking to continue the costly expansion, but because of the trump administration and deregulation they are now expanding (Louisville). The thing the Louisville expansion shows is the difficulty ATT gives new competitors in the area.

"It's like Paypal"
ry4n413··on Ask HN: Google Voice and Google Fi Good Experiences?
I've used Google Fi for 1.7 years. Call quality on my end is fine, but sometimes the other end (1/5 calls) says I'm breaking up. Usually plugging phone in fixes issues. Since I'm tethered to wifi for most of my day, avg bill ~25$/mo.

ry4n413··on Ask HN: What is so great about Bloomberg Terminal?
first to market?
ry4n413··on Ask HN: What is so great about Bloomberg Terminal?
It's fast in terms of time takes from press release to screen, total news coverage is unrivaled (Reuters you could say maybe), forgot how many trillions of dollars they control all together. bonds they are the king, tradebook, their international financial data is a little rough, and their sales force is relentless. Try to sell me a god damn terminal every time. also they were ahead of pack regarding supply chain data, graph modeling, they are moving into Law.

"If they can fill their PR campaign with decent, factual 'un-hypey' information, well, then that's really good for them."

Totally agree.

ry4n413··on Airbnb Enters the Land of Profitability
Are they public yet? (spoiler alert: I know they aren't and this is a typical marketing scheme for private companies pre-ipo. Now, long-term say 10 years will the company be able to quint-tuple in size? I don't dunno. I'm sure all the companies issuing research as part of the IPO process will say so.)

ry4n413··on Ask HN: Dual monitors, or single 4k?
I've had 40' 4k for about 3 years, it's awesome. I had to mess around with setup because larger screen changed way I worked with stuff. But man, i can see from column A to EP and around 400 pdf pages (really small text).

ry4n413··on Ask HN: How viable is it to run Linux in a VM, on a laptop?
have you checked https://sourceforge.net/projects/xming/

unless you have laptop larger than 1920x1080 screen reso, then I can't think of any problem (hyper-v doesn't allow you to change reso larger to than 1920x1080).

I don't think you can copy clipboard content out of the box with hyper-v, but I think fix just involves installing package.

ry4n413··on Ask HN: How viable is it to run Linux in a VM, on a laptop?
i run my desktop (windows 10 pro) and hyper-v (with linux vm). Realize you are looking at for laptop, so can't speak to battery life. But, I use WinSCP (so I can access folders) and ConEmu to SSH (to access bash) into VM and don't notice any performance issues.

have you checked out Bash on Ubuntu on Windows?

The former pharmaceuticals head had direct-messaged Lauren Duca, a freelance writer, on Thursday to ask her to be his “+1” to Donald Trump’s inauguration.

Duca rejected the offer, tweeting an image of the exchange on Sunday with the comment: “I would rather eat my own organs”.

ry4n413··on Ask HN: Should I blog on Medium for my open-source project, or self-host?
https://autospinstaller.com/

I mean, it wasn't all sunshine and daises... But, I was interested in learning how hosting my own blog, Windows Server 2016, and SharePoint worked.

ry4n413··on Ask HN: Should I blog on Medium for my open-source project, or self-host?
Typed it up on my phone, so yea.

I have SharePoint Online through Office 365. I like SharePoint's blogging layout, but the only problem that I found eventually was that you can't share your blog publicly without have users create login.

My solution, install it on my home server running Windows 2016 and Kasperky Endpoint Security. So, I created a VM with Windows 2016 installed ShapePoint. Had everything setup and went a couple days, all good. I checked the Kasperky log and notice a high alert item that said (forgot name of attack, but they were scanning folders on parallel systems). I looked at IP location, was somewhere in South America, and I said to myself, "Screw this, I don't know enough about Internet Security" and I shut down the studio... and went with blogger.

Moral of story, if you self-host, make sure you know what you are doing.
