Aha, I wrote vim script to achieve that function, not difficult at all.

Stop thinking of who is CEO, who is CTO, which one should do what kind work. Startup founders should think about what makes your company survive.

If your customers/investor come to you because of your R&D, R&D head should control the company, earn most, and all other work should be done by other co-founders.

Otherwise, if they come to you because of your product strategy, then you should let that guy control the company, it's good for you at the end.

If none of you know what is the core competitiveness of your startup, you all should more concentrate on the product/service/marketing per se. Who take control is not important and you all will learn a lot.

Yes, that's right. Static IP is not necessary, any kind of DDNS could make a workaround.

Public IP is not necessary as well. Third party service like ngrok could reverse a tunnel.

However, public static IP is my first choice. Easier, safer and more stable.

Ask HN: How much did Soviet journalists contribute to the hype of Linux 1.0?

from the ask-hn dept.

From Linus Torvalds' autobiography Just for Fun, his parents are "all basically journalists" as well as "overactive communists".He gave a talk in 1994 when Linux 1.0 was published after three years of efforts on developing, and that talk attracted public media's attention, and finally on Finnish TV.I just think it's not easy for a general geek to get this much attention. And Linux was not the...

Re:New Zealand Declares State of Emergency [video] on Thursday March 26, 2020 @04:42AM (#22691599)

As a Chinese living in Auckland, I thought I would be safe here. After the first case detected in the North Shore City about one month ago, people here divided over the virus a lot. Some people were taking it seriously, the other people were not. When I read news and posts from Chinese media, I was so terrified. However when I read news from NZ media like stuff, I felt its not a big deal. I was quite split also. The eventually lockdown is a relief to me. I saw a video, police man already check if people are going out for essential services on street. Also it's grateful we have lots of natural place to go in neighborhood. I do think quarantine here will be much easier than in China.

You could try to host a ssh/shadowsocks/v2ray tunneling server on your own Openwrt home router. However you need a static public IP address for your home router. And you can control all or specific traffic aboard through this tunnel.

> Running an VPN on an Azure/AWS/Digital Ocean instance is not viable because the whole ip range is blocked by automated services like cloudflare, even if it's static.

I am not sure about that. Since I host my tunneling server on an VPS instance for 5 years. My IP packages have never been blocked by any website or CDN even once. However I don't use internet banking, so no idea about that.
