Ask HN: YC for Artists(such as musicians, DJs)
Being a good artist and a being a commercially successfully artists are two completely different things, though are related. We do realize that many startups if hadn't attended YC(or for that matter an accelerator like it) it could have been really difficult for them to be successful.
As being a successful artist these days is more like being a successful entrepreneur, how about starting an incubator/accelerators for artists(the ones who can be commercially successful like EDM producers DJs)? Artists attend sessions, interact with fellow artists including successful ones, understand the industry and then set out to build their careers?

What do you think? Ideas? Would YC wanna do this?

I agree. On one hand, as someone who deals with minor bouts of depression, I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It sucks.

On the other, I think part of the problem are these bizarre expectations to have everything "figured out" at such a young age. The author writes about a series of what appear to be catastrophic, depression inducing academic and career oriented decisions, culminating in landing a dream job. All by age 23 or so?

It's all about academics, careers, potential employers, grades, GPA, admissions, money, prestige. Need to find my place, need to find my place. Then you find out it's not as fulfilling as you'd imagined. Perhaps it comes with the mentality of being an "overachiever". How about stopping to smell the flowers sometime, and realize you're a kid with a lot of life left to live, full of all kinds of trials and tribulations?
Is that form of revenue even sensible any more? If you used ordinary tax generation for road building you would also silence critics of pedestrian and cycle infrastructure complaining about it being paid for from fuel tax revenue.
I think the hit rate is a bit low. Might be better if, like a slot machine, there were buttons to 'hold' words. You should be able to both hold one word so that it stays fixed while the other varies, and hold it so that its replacement is picked from related words (eg using wordnet). That way you could focus on random-ish names that are related to a concept, rather than exploring the entire space.

> I'm totally fine with pretty much any voluntary agreement between individuals.

This sounds like a very naive position ignoring dynamics of power. Indentured labour was also the result of a "voluntary agreement between individuals". See also the working conditions of migrant workers in the Gulf states - again the result of "voluntary agreement between individuals".

I think you've correctly identified an alternate argument against surge pricing - "it's better to randomly distribute a smaller number of taxis than to allocate a larger number of taxis to people willing to pay more".

I've never actually seen anyone make that argument - instead, they simply make the Copenhagen critique described in the article. If you know of someone making it, could you link to them?
I have to say a few years back I really really digged this idea of a "classless society"(lol) and 1. the existence of pseudo helpers like ::before ::after and 2. when used in a project that has no user-html like comments or descriptions made it look like a solid idea too.

It turned out a very opinionated and inflexible framework that could not evolve.

So although this seems like a great idea I have experienced high complexity and inflexibility in evolving a project – these are worse than the typical class mess that comes with the other approach.

I would love it tho if we could decide on a better basic HTML layout for apps using just the basic blocks of html just like we have with documents. now the help section of a website becomes more fun to develop because of the native support of html for text formatting.

Didn't the study compare the performance of a group before and after the marihuana ban, with the natives being the control group? the differences you list (motivation, skill, effort) didn't change (except as an effect of the ban).
Yes, precisely. So many times a debate is about whether or not something does measurable harm. People or policies with a measure if success are often cited as evidence of lack of harm. Whether it's taking drugs or raising the tax rate, if the subjects in question continue to prosper, it is assumed no harm is done.

However people forget to ask the question whether the outcomes are maximised? Could the blogger have been the next Steve Jobs but for the weed use? I don't pretend to have the answer but I see the question is rarely asked.

If you are really concerned, here's a tip: lawyers are plentiful in the United States. You are not eligible for a free lawyer, but call your local federal court and ask for the names of attorneys who handle CJA appointments. Or call the local chapter of the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, or contact their Washington office for a referral. Your new lawyer will quickly discover the level of the Bureau's interest.

The real concern with this study is not the possible negative effects of marijuana (which are already known) but the moral correctness of its legalization. I personally have not and never will smoke pot, but that doesn't mean I support the continuing ban in America. Everyone has the right to determine his own destiny, and if engaging in personally (but not socially) destructive behaviors like smoking pot is a person's chosen destiny, he shouldn't be held back by dated laws restricting personal freedom.
In the hypothetical that someone agreed to slavery to avoid certain death (and death that would have occurred regardless of the slave owner), then yes - the slave owner has helped the slave.

Cannabis and Alcohol share just about nothing in common. Not the chemical structure, the method of consumption, the neuro-physical effects, nor the after-effects. They both do get you a high in their way, but aside from that, nothing. They don't feel much alike, and are very different in terms of long term and short term cognitive effects.

> Only across riders who can afford the surge price. It's the utility-minimizing choice for the rest.

It's really not. Without surge pricing, the people who can't afford surge pricing experience significantly worse outcomes as well. Specifically, they end up with very high wait times and cancellation rates, which ends up being a lot worse than the counterfactual world in which they saw the surge pricing and decided to take the subway instead. We have solid evidence for this: http://faculty.chicagobooth.edu/chris.nosko/research/effects...

This makes no sense to me as there are a load of things good testers do which shouldn't be in instructions and most developers don't think of, otherwise they'd have coded against it.

Even silly things like whacking a single button loads really quickly to see what happens. Did you just order 100 tickets? Take down the site?

So telling someone to write better instructions seems a bizarre approach.
It is syntactic sugar to call mylist.__iadd__. The behavior to modify it inplace is common also for other non-pure data structures.

I'm not sure but I think that list.__iadd__ is even more tricky: When the new object still fits into the allocated array, it will modify it inplace, otherwise it returns a newly allocated list and doesn't modify it inplace. So you cannot rely on __iadd__ modifying a list (or anything else) inplace.

2- 37.5, reverse vesting for 4 years with a 1 year cliff.
Which I disagree at the moment as I feel we should have something already as we worked 2 years on it already.

3- 25, reverse vesting for 4 years with a 1 year cliff.

4- I would say brushed them aside, but it's more complicated than that.

Ex:

We had an advisor prior to the CEO that we promised some equity in exchange for his council. When the CEO came in and met him, his intentions were to get rid of him from the start, but he was never clear about it. He's the type of person who won't speak his mind directly in order to avoid confrontation.

Our relationship with the previous advisor totally fizzled last friday as he finally understood that he's not going to get anything except stock options of a future value of 20/30k for his previous services.

The way the CEO handled the whole thing raised a big red flag for me as I considered his behavior very dishonest. While my co-founder said to me that the way he handled everything wasn't dishonest and that was the only way he could have handled it without causing more fuss.

As I understand it, the reason why he chose not to keep the previous advisor were:

1- He was asking for a lot of equity. I agree with this.

2- He didn't have any previous background with startups, but had run 3 successful companies in the past. As I call it, he had a lot of business wisdom.

3- Their values and style were totally opposite, as the advisor was more upfront, like me. He didn't like him from the start.

Did you consider the possibility that taxes on cigarettes are intended as an incentive to stop smoking and thereby lower the health care costs of treating long term smokers' various ailments?
As an example of the harm that this ethical theory causes, consider the YC startup Markhor. They employ shoe makers in Pakistan and treat them significantly better than other employment options - reasonable hours, higher pay, safe work places, etc.

Also, when a woman becomes pregnant Markhor will fire her so as not to "exploit" her, thereby making it necessary for her to work unreasonable hours for lower pay in a more unsafe workplace.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10057973

I doubt the founders of Markhor are unaware of this, they are just coldheartedly appealing to the Copenhagen ethical theories of their customers.

> One should really compare the bloodliness of those pacifications with similar ones undertaken against Iraq or Libya. The difference would be dramatic.

Why? This is a very ham fisted attempt at the usual "bu.. but the Americans are worse!" routine with no need to compare the two in the first place. The only possible reason for comparing them would be to find the Soviet Union more peaceful or less bloody outside of its borders than the US, something that has little to no relevancy to this article.
The basic point is simply that ethics isn't a local phenomena and can't be judged in the way the essay do it at least not conclusively.

Electric cars probably contribute more to road wear and tear because they are generally heavier.
I actually support flat rate vehicle weight/mileage use taxes. That woudo encourage lighter cars and less driving. The technology exists and it could be done. You could also add time of use charging (or discounts for off peak driving).
From the perspective of those who can afford surge pricing this is an improvement not for those who cant.

Those who can't afford it are at the same position, their status hasn't changed. Without it, nobody can use the taxis, with it, rich can use taxis, non-rich still can't. Surge pricing is strictly an improvement.

Another example: I provide food for a standard price. That price is determined by the weather. I can't control the weather, so I can't control the price. If the weather is poor, it affects production, the price goes up. I still guarantee to provide the food, yet less people can afford it. It would be strictly worse to stop production of food in case of poor weather.
Oh these look great! Thanks
No those who can't afford now have zero change of getting on where as before that they might be lucky to get one.
No dispute. But the arguments this article is criticizing aren't actually making those non-local arguments.

Again - can you link to an Uber critic arguing that random allocation of scarce taxi rides is better than market allocation of plentiful ones?

> Electric cars have as much wear-and-tear on roads as gas cars

Sometimes even more. Of course that depends on exact car that is being compared, but as a rule of thumb, an all-electric vehicle would be significantly heavier due to battery weight, and as was pointed out:

> Road damage rises [...] to the fourth power of the axle weight [0].

Salient example is a Tesla model S, which have a curb weight of 2.1 metric tons in standard configuration [1], while comparable gasoline-powered sedan weights in at approximately 1.5 metric tons [2]. That means that applying formula above, "average", electric car causes 3.6 times more road wear than "average" CO2-belching one, just due to being 40% heavier while having same number of axles.

To make matters worse, many countries tax vehicles based on their weight (so to translate a fair share of road repair costs to the vehicle owner). And that makes subsidies (in the form of tax exemptions) to the electric vehicles even more important - otherwise electric cars would not be able to compete at all.

You incorrectly assume the same number of drivers in both modes. With surge pricing there are more drivers, therefore more people get the drive, making it strictly better.

> This is an individual problem rather than there being an inherently adversarial system.

It's both. My guess is that the vast majority of prosecutors do think about justice as well as about winning. But consider the incentives:

+ All lawyers tend to want a high win rate, because wins serve as a marker of professional competence. Wins help to bring in more work --- no one wants to have to sit around waiting for the phone to ring --- as well as more-prestigious and better-paying work.

+ Prosecutors in particular want the Ws to enhance (i) their chances of promotion within the government system (and, in the case of elected district attorneys, their chances of re-election) as well as (ii) their ability to move to lucrative private-sector jobs as defense attorneys, or even a TV gig as an anchor or reality-show host.

For example, the Houston Chronicle recently reported that the assistant U.S. attorney who successfully prosecuted financial fraudster R. Allen Stanford just moved to the giant Jones Day law firm to do white-collar criminal defense work. You can be sure he'll earn far more money in private practice than he ever did in government service. [1]

As another example, former Houston state prosecutor Kelly Siegler is one of the hosts of a cold-case-files series on the TNT cable-TV network; it's a safe bet that she'll make more money doing that than in her old job. [2]

I want to note that this is how THC can effect academic performance. There are other compounds in marijuana other than THC and although THC is the leading compound in most cannabis, in the medical cannabis world there are certain strains like Cannatonic that will test 0%THC with 10-20%CBD. CBD is not like THC and has a lot of different medical benefits associated with it.

> road taxes should be done for mileage as that more accurately measures their use and impact of roads.

Not at all. Axle load has a completely outsized impact on road wear. Civil engineers use a fourth power law to estimate road wear with respect to axle load: if you double the mileage you double road wear, but if you double the axle load (assuming constant axle count) the road wear is multiplied by 16.

Put in numbers, a Model S has an axle load of 1T (2T on 2 axles). A fully loaded 18-wheeler is limited to 36T (80000lbs) on 5 axles or a 7.2T average axle load. The road wear impact of the 18-wheeler compared to the Model S is 2.5 * 7.2^4 (2.5 times the number of axles and axle load ratio raised to the 4th power), or about 6700 times that of the Model S.

It's actually slightly higher than that as 18-wheelers have 4 7.7T axles and 1 5.5 axle rather than 5 7.2T axles, the estimate is closer to 7500. Your standard 2T sedan has to drive for 7500 miles to generate the road wear a loaded 18-wheeler generates every mile.

Assuming your 2T sedan lives for 150000 miles, it's had the same road wear impact as 20 miles of a loaded 18-wheeler.

When it comes to road wear and maintenance, mileage-based pricing and taxes are trucking subsidies.
