I use pikapods so more like a managed VPS but I run bitwarden along with a photos app on the server which is worth it to me
What’s the main draw on your book vs others?
How bad is it there for sexual/gender minorities (aka gay/trans people). Is it livable if you are visibly transgender?
How bad is the crime? I've talked to a few who've lived there but they always tell me the crime forced them to move out. Do hijackings at robots still happen often?
From what I've seen, Chile is a relatively safe and intellectually free place to live. They aren't as progressive on LGBTQIA tolerance as say the west coast of the US, but they are slowly getting there.

It isn't dirt cheap though. A house in a nice part of Santiago will cost you around 300-500k (USD).

(Browser) zoom works for me. What browser are you using?
Hello HN!

Cryptsend was created as a result of my company having to share large amounts of medical data with our clients. We couldn't find an easy and secure solution, so we sat down and created cryptsend. Our codebase is currently in alpha stages so any audits/improvements/security vulns you find would be really appreciated!

If you want to work at FAANG or Uber/Dropbox/etc then yes you don't want certs. For lower tier companies/smaller ones then it might make a difference.

Remove your certs. They are a negative signal for most companies in tech unless you are in infosec (which you aren't judging from your resume)

I find that what helps me the most are the '--help' commands, especially if it has multilevel support, like seen with the docker cli tool.

The problem with just providing examples is it doesn't always tell me what each argument does, especially if I have multiple arguments, making it seem like the tool works by having a 'magical' combination of arguments, instead of explaining what each argument does.

My friend made exactly this (https://www.ericsson.com/en/press-releases/2016/5/soundvisio...) but it ended up not being marketable so they abandoned it and sadly never opensourced the code.

Ruby, Golang, Serverside JS (aka NodeJS) or Python would be a start

I agree with this. My girlfriend has unfortunately had to deal with racist name calling as an Asian (I can't imagine what it must be like for those that are even more targeted by the alt-right) in San Francisco, a "liberal" city in the eyes of Americans.

S(he) may be white or may well not me. Best not to assume things about strangers online.
Just filled out ddg's suggestion form to add this as a bang. I'll let you know if it goes live.
Why should it be the duty of startups to fight for net neutrality when it's the gatekeepers who control the flow of information and have the resources to actually keep the net open and free.

Hey HN,

I just built this as a sideproject with inspiration from http://textio.com after getting frustrated with the lack of feedback and haphazard advice for coverletters on a multitude of blogs. I built it using Flask, SpaCy, Textacy and NLTK with a bunch of heuristics that I took from writing blogs and form talking to experienced manager.

This is just an MVP so it isn't super fast and is missing a few nice-to-have features like HTTP.

Re:Ask HN: How do you make money from your side projects? on Tuesday March 28, 2017 @06:28PM (#13981395)
Your "Pro" version http://getjsonip.com isn't working fyi. Just shows me a blank page.
