Gotcha. I had trouble reaching people who were willing to do sampling, which led me to that conclusion.

The entire population of the Czech Republic is something like 10 million people, just a couple of million more than that of New York City. I'm skeptical as to just how much demand that adds up to in the context of Asus's worldwide market.

Nobody is arguing that stock traders are "all about dividends". The argument is that the intrinsic value of a share of stock is ultimately about dividends.

Stock traders buy for appreciation. But that appreciation is fundamentally rooted in dividends, either of the company itself, or of some other dividend-paying company that will eventually acquire it.

To an extent I agree I think we are just getting better at recognizing the security and performance optimizations that are staring us in the face when content doesn't change rather than having complex websites completely static as static site gens do. I think we will see an increase in static elements mixed with dynamic elements in a more comprehensive way.

I host 10s of more or less static sites (Contact forms being the most dynamic elements) which are generated on the spot from one PHP (laravel) installation.

Anyone know the best way to cache the html/css statically to serve?

OpenSignal - London, UK (Full time, permanent) At OpenSignal we're using mobile apps to tap into the smart phones we're all carrying around with us to build up global crowdsourced sensor networks. Our first sensor network is for wireless signal [1] where we are building a global database on the coverage and performance of wireless networks (both mobile + WiFi) on a scale that has never before been possible. Our second sensor network is WeatherSignal [2], which uses the barometers, thermometers and hygrometers on smart phones to crowdsource weather data and we have already published a scientific paper [3] showing the potential of this approach. Our third sensor network is WifiMapper [4] which leverages sensors and the community to build the best free Wifi database in the world.

If the concept of crowdsourced sensor networks appeals to you too then please get in touch. We are hiring for all manner of different roles right now (Android, Full-stack, Backend (Python), Frontend, UX/UI & Data Science(R, Pandas, Numpy, Spark)) but most of all we are just looking for smart, like minded people rather than people with specific, existing skills. We raised our $4 million series A [5] from Qualcomm Ventures, O'Reilly Alphatech Ventures & Passion Capital and we are growing fast.

To do that reliably, I think both vehicles would need to know their absolute positions with high resolution (spatial and time). Could be a separate research project given how small their planes are.
Hilarious story :)

I worked for someone who was a variation on the 'Brad' theme for a while, absolutely infallible.

One day I walked through the workshop where he was making a positive from which a mold would be made for a piece of machinery. There was an obvious error in it (it really isn't all that hard to make a mistake, moldmaking is intricate) and I tried to interrupt him to ask how he planned to solve this and told me to stick to my job (programming, not mechanical engineering).

So fine. I went about my programming ways. A while later a bunch of expensive aluminum trial casts arrived from an even more expensive custom made mold (mold are very expensive) and after some very silent moments in the workshop there was a lot of cursing and yelling.

I walked downstairs and asked what they planned to do about the two shafts running through each others center and was asked if I had known all along why didn't I say something...

Not a good day, to say the least.
I agree that our system is broken, but that's not news, and when you take actions within that system that cause harm, you remain culpable for the harm; you can't just appeal to a different electoral system.
I can totally understand why individuals with substance abuse problems give up in their early 50's and commit suicide, as I personally have felt this tug at times.

It is very difficult, both emotionally and financially, to look back at a life of wrecked relationships and blown opportunities and not feel an intense disgust with yourself and a deep fear about the future.

Also, there is simply no place for you in society anymore. In your 50's, you are almost completely judged by your status in life; your house, your cars, your relationships...someone fighting addiction for 30 years will have little to none of this.

Even super close old friends eventually give up on you and stop returning calls.

I often say these days the only real regrets I have in life is hurting those who loved me due to my substance abuse lifestyle.
The Emperor’s New Clothes: Lookup and the LinkedIn Talent Disconnect
I actually do right now, and it is part of the reason I'm looking to leave. I got promoted into management too fast, IMO, and I've been told by my CTO I'm being groomed for leadership. I'm not interested.

How did I get here? I built new products that were my own ideas, and they generate revenue for the company now. I know our entire stack so I'm able to pretty much build whatever I want. If you do the same for any company you'll start to look valuable in a hurry. Learn your business, apply some insight and make something new.

FYI, I didn't work my ass off for this, I was able to do this 9-to-5.
A proposed solution to the mass incarceration problem
The article is somewhat misleading. Keeping up with software evolution is something large North American companies struggle with as well, and while Japanese companies may be slower to adopt some software trends that are commonplace here, Japan lags in very few areas technologically - and leads in a lot of others. Every time I visit I'm blown away by the innovative application of technology. There are electronically controlled traffic lights aplenty in Japan, ubiquitous high speed internet, and all the accoutrements of modern electronic communication in greater abundance and density than most of North America. The "human powered traffic lights" the writer alludes to are just safety officers who assist traffic and pedestrians at some crossings where construction is underway, usually in addition to to the usual traffic signals; an example of the emphasis on service and attention to detail sorely lacking on this side of the pond. If faxes are still in use it's a result of the fact that practically everybody had one in their house long before most North Americans had ever used one. Having been so widely adopted, it's not too surprising that their use has continued for longer. I think the author went a bit hyperbolic in an effort to make a headline out of something which is actually not that big of a deal, although there are likely just as many if not more opportunities for software modernization in Japan as there are elsewhere.
Yep, that points to the global aspect of the demand! However, from what I've read over the years of following the "Cartel Wars" down in Mexico, the Cartel De Sinaloa (re: Chapo Guzman and Mayo Zambada) have refined their production techniques to create much better quality heroin than in the past. Thus, they grow their own poppies, refine into heroin, and smuggle in using the routes they previously used for marijuana / cocaine / heroin. Other cartels may not have access to the fields and product, so CDS increases its power.

Cartel De Golfo, more in the cocaine trade. The former Knights Templar in Michochan, methamphetamine production (in part due to dealing with the Chinese - illegal mining in trade for access to precursors). Quite a fascinating development from what I've seen. Where there's profit to be made...

The best way to know is to ask them. Not sure how many HN'ers are cafe owners, so it's best to go around to your local neighbourhood and start asking them right up. But first, I would start with coming up with the value statement and validating that with your target customer.

Think about the value you're offering them by having them go into prepared meals. To me it sounds like your value is about opening an additional revenue stream. Then think about what independent cafe owners will have to go through to adopt prepared meals as part of their service. When you have your thoughts, have a chat with them to validate your assumptions.

From my personal experience, my challenge (and it might be yours too), was that there is no such thing as "small retailers" target segment. At the beginning, I went after retailers and found all kinds of even smaller segments to drill down to. There are shoe retailers, restaurants, pharmacies, fashion retailers, etc. And each of these smaller retailers all had different wants and needs, which makes software development complicated as hell.

Libertarians have the intellectual tools to deal with the negative externalities of air pollution and the positive externalities of environmental services. Although they frequently want to pretend externalities are minimal to nonexistant.

I live right next to one of the widest parts of the Charles River (Waltham) and since I don't own a dog I often pick up litter during my walks along the river (this behavior was encouraged by my brother early in my life... I'm not really a super environmentalist).

The reason I mention the dog is I have seen people litter (usually throwing a cigarette, can, or candy wrapper) and than the next minute are picking up their dog's shit. Irony at its best.

Engineering Empire: An Introduction to the Institutions of American Imperialism
"Standard new Keynesian macroeconomics essentially abstracts away from most of what is important in macroeconomics."

Yes, that has been the criticism for decades. There is nothing new here.

The only time Keynesian economics has "fixed" an economy was WW2 when we (the US, specifically) had full employment because of the draft and all of our competition had been literally flattened and/or killed.

For another look at it, check out the Keynes vs Hayek rap battle:

I like that comment.

One of the thing I like of HN I that you can have a serious technical discussion about any subject. Some users know more about chemistry, some users know more about computers, some users know more about rockets, ... Many press articles have a lot of hype and exaggerations, and it's nice to have comments with more technical balance and details.

About the downvotes: It's common to get a few downvotes, even with very good comment. Just ignore them. (But if you get 10 downvotes, try to read your comment again.)
My wife's parents both passed in this group. Her father died of heart attack in 2001, but was heavy into cocaine and speed-drinking. Her mother recently passed last year of a heart attack, but was on methadone for opiate addiction and had sclerosis of the liver. Both of their death certificates list heart attack as the cause of death.

I have to wonder how many of these opiate and poison related deaths are being cherry picked to hide other more common cause of deaths like heart disease.
Without a structured government, then the people are the "government", so to speak, and vigilante justice would not be so vigilante.
Interesting there is no mention of obesity and the correlated diseases which are associated with being overweight.

The US has an obesity epidemic right now and it has huge risks for some of these health issues:

1. high blood pressure

2. diabetes

3. heart disease

4. cancer

5. ulcers

Yet absolutely no mention of this in any of the stats or the issues which may be contributing to early deaths of this segment of the population.

Can you clarify what you mean by "simple templates"?

It may not be along the lines of what you're hoping for (it may not be simple enough), but I've found Stasis[1] to be a powerful tool for static site generation.

You can write plain old HTML pages and/or fragments, with your desired level or genericity, and then run them through a set of transformations[2] to fill in content, set attributes (e.g. classes, styles, whatever), un/wrap elements, and so on.

Not really sure what this comment is trying to demonstrate.

Using what actual published authors make on book deals is a good way to estimate what the value of such an initiative should be.

Maybe a lot of people will be interested in the project and fund it, then great. But publishers investigate the market thoroughly before signing a deal with an author, and they offer advances and royalties based on what they think the book will make. When an author received a $7,500 royalties advance on a book it's because the publisher thinks this is a good indicator of what the book will generate in royalties.

Lumo Raises $10M Series B
For anyone interested, I found the author's Patreon page here: https://www.patreon.com/user.php?v=queertypes&ty=h

Cost of living is listed as $5k/mo on this page, which contrasts with the $6.6k/mo listed on the IndieGogo campaign.

The author is a self-described anti-capitalist but this campaign looks an awful lot like free-market economics at work. Rather than simply writing the book for free and accepting donations, the author has simply stated a price ($20k) for a product (an open source book).

I also found a blog post here https://blog.cppcabrera.com/posts/53-announcing-queer-types.... where the author goes into more personal detail about the project. Apparently the $20k would cover in excess of 3 months living, whatever that means. There was even mention of releasing additional books if funding reached $60k+. Sounds pretty far-fetched.
Wouldn't a simpler hypothesis be that output trends before a recession are artificially high? We know fairly well that economic trends tend to feed back on themselves; the idea that growth leads to an acceleration of growth which overreaches and ends in a crash isn't particularly far-fetched.

6 Common Product Strategy Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

> "vigilante justice would not be so vigilante."

Explain why.
"I assume, but don't know, that GEC 4000 was influenced by Brinch Hansen's RC 4000, but all I remember about the then-ancient RC 4000 at the Niels Bohr Institute was that it seemed pretty primitive and the systems language was Algol, c.f. OS4000's structured assembler, and was pretty grotty."

Interesting. I never thought about a connection to RC 4000: just figured it was another example of how things were named back then. Could've been some influence.

"I don't know to what extent security was the reason for the hardware nucleus rather than a by-product of the fast system. (I recall French colleagues thought the context switching was slow, thiking it must be in milliseconds, not microseconds.) "

I doubt security was the reason as well. Few were thinking of it then. It was just a benefit of the design.

"I don't understand the reference to the paper. "

The original system designed a core component to make everything else easier to implement and consistent. That was called Nucleus. It had specific functions key to any OS. The rest was built around it.

The Microsoft system designed a core component to make everything consistent and verification easier. That was called Nucleus. It had specific functions key to the OS and many potential others. The rest was built around it.

I just thought whoever designed Verve might have heard of GEC 4000 and copied it to some degree. Or independently invented the concept. GEC 4000 still has advantages, though.

"Good to see an OS4000 user who appreciates its significance after all this time, anyhow."

I've never used it or any machine from 1960's-1970's. Someone asked vezzy-fnord recently why he has so much arcane knowledge about computing and programming. I answered for myself on that as I similarly research old work for the wisdom to be gained:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10488298

I have literally hundreds of papers on old stuff with many solving key problems and some doing better than today's stuff by at least one metric. I expressed the problem and potential solution here:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10269245

So, referencing Nucleus is just me doing my part. Neat that you got to use the thing for real. How robust was the system compared to others of the time? Did you find the kernel design or process separation to have practical benefit in its day-to-day operation or administration?
