I thought MQTT was much better than XMPP.

Ask HN: Ranking news articles based on truth/bias in the content?

from the ask-hn dept.

I like the idea of WikiTribune but involving real journalists in an organization can be very slow and could cover only a small amount of news. It'd be a better idea to rank existing news articles on the basis of their truthfulness by allowing community members to point out fake/biased parts of it or good/objective parts of an article. It'd be a little slower for the reader to consume the news...

Cool stuff. I'd have liked to see a signup box to leave my email.

I'd have liked to see modern things like nunjucks and marko in this comparison list.
Re:Ruma, a Matrix homeserver written in Rust on Monday July 04, 2016 @07:20AM (#12030066)
The problem with HTTP is that it drains 11 times more battery on a mobile phone than something like MQTT.
Re:Ruma, a Matrix homeserver written in Rust on Monday July 04, 2016 @04:01AM (#12029381)
What is the underlying protocol that Ruma uses for communication? Is it HTTP, XMPP or something else?
Re:Reasons not to use (i.e., be used by) Facebook on Sunday June 26, 2016 @10:19PM (#11983839)
I recently quit Facebook and felt like I'm free(with my time). It is interesting to note that after you order "deletion" your account will remain for 14 days and you could come back. It is like 2 weeks notice period (before quitting the job) which is a standard in united states. I'd still keep using WhatsApp as long as it stays utilitarian and lets me communicate with my people.
Re:Ask HN: How is software consulting different than working on an int... on Saturday June 25, 2016 @01:53PM (#11977219)
It entirely depends on yourself and the type of work you can get. If you're an extroverted type, working in consulting may be a good experience. If you're highly creative but introverted type, you may not enjoy dealing with your client as much. If you're service oriented, you'd enjoy working with a client. If you're product oriented, you may prefer working on purely software/tech side of things!
Re:Is your personality fixed, or can you change who you are? on Saturday June 25, 2016 @07:15AM (#11975972)
Looks like people here haven't examined MBTI. Your personality may not be fixed but it takes up to 2 years to change it. 16personalities.com is a good way to test your personality as being one of the 16 types. It takes 10 mins.

I guess it's time to do away with the web (as it is) and build something entirely 'ephemeral' without that heavy HTTP protocol and 'web pages'. The new thing should be real-time by default and work across web/mobile. Ephemerality is the best way to protect privacy and real-time is the best way to create an amazing experience!

There will always be "unintelligent" crash on the way to perfect intelligence. These crashes are the real reason for all human fear today.
Re:The Data/Human Goal Gap on Monday June 20, 2016 @12:08AM (#11935998)
One solution to this problem is making "flipped classroom" a mandatory at all the schools.i.e. students go thru lectures/videos at home and do homework collaboratively in the Classroom. The Real world is more collaborative compared to our schools. Flipped Classroom is proven to increase scores as well. Question: What efforts are you willing to put in making this happen?
Re:Ask HN: I don't enjoy being a CTO. Now what? on Monday June 13, 2016 @09:11AM (#11893496)
Key question is WHY did you take up this job in the first place? Do you really believe in the mission of this company or just the CTO title and a lucrative pay attracted you here. If you truly believe in the mission of the company, you're doing the right thing by taking all crap and making progress towards end goals. You are probably not coding because your time is better spent doing what you're doing now. Will you make more difference to the world if you went back to the coding role?

This is nothing new to someone in India. We've always been this radical.. now and forever. =)
