The OP is in Australia like me and while there are lot of parents that can’t afford to pay, there are lots of that could. The key here is to build your business around the customers that can pay, not those that happen to use it.

One other idea might to try and partner with companies that are trying to lock in young people. The obvious one is banks which are always trying to target this age demographics. You could offer, for example, premium notes to those students that had an account with the sponsoring bank.

A historian friend claims this is bollocks. England was not significantly more stable, and the longbow was not a superweapon on its own. It was part of a system of combat, of combined arms, involving knights fighting on foot and choosing the right terrain.

And when they didn't have the right terrain, those English longbowmen also lost plenty of battles. They had some spectacular victories at Crecy and Agincourt, but they also had their fair share of losses.

Excellent weapon, but no silver bullet.
Ask HN: What are your pain points using templates to build websites?
I always came away disappointed trying to build simple sites with templates on popular site-building sites such as WordPress, Wix, and Weebly. I find the templates hard to integrate, hard to customize, and lacking in diversity. Also, I thought templates could be used in place of most plugins for a more accessible site-building/maintenance experience.
FWIW, you don't need to have an MX for example.com to get a certificate for it. The e-mail addresses used for domain validation come from WHOIS and can be, e.g., you@not-example.com.

It took a stressful few months for me to make this similar realization. I don't know why it felt so profound at the time, but I imagine a lot of developers (myself included) get their start wanting to create stuff that people want [to use] or that will help their company [be more successful].

Unfortunately, the developer's primary job isn't to make business decisions/ideas and fighting that battle for life and death is many times a lost cause. Fortunately, a good attitude to takeaway is to always have pride in doing good work and believing that a good idea is still a good idea even if you can't convince anyone else (today). Tomorrow, you can wake up and try again.
Was that because the technology wasn't there yet or because titanium ones are in ways superior to composites?

Note that most of the states use lexis or someone and have exclusive rights deals with them as publishers. You can't really easily get feeds of cases (you can get the reporters, and then scan them, but this is not up to date).

So whatever they do will be out of date.
I'm sorry, I have to disagree about micropayments. For most people (including people in finance), micropayments are anything less than 1 dollar. $0.25 is most definitely a micropayment. The reason is simple: with any payment processor, your per-transaction fee is something like $0.30 + 3% of the transaction. So a $0.30 sale nets you zero, because it's all taken up by the fee, and anything less than that will cost you money. For transactions under a few dollars, these fees are absolutely prohibitive.

So even for things worth a quarter, a real micropayment system would be a boon.

Now, the problem with things like Blendle, the iTunes store, etc., is that even with my definition of micropayments, they're not that useful, because they lock you into that vendor: you have to have an account with them, and you basically have a "tab" with them (much like going to a bar) that you build up, and eventually get billed for and pay all at once, so that they don't get socked with giant fees. This, obviously, only favors large players: Apple can afford to sell you $1 movies and songs this way, because it keeps you coming back to their store, but this doesn't help sellers who want to sell stuff on their own, outside of some giant player like that (who of course takes a gigantic cut of the proceeds for selling on their store).

A real micropayment system would let buyers and sellers exchange pennies at a time, with extremely low fees. PayPal got us a little closer to this by letting small sellers easily establish an account and get money from buyers (using their credit cards), without having to pay huge fees for a traditional merchant account. But PayPal gets socked with the same fees from Visa/MC as everyone and passes them on, so you still have to pay the same $0.30+3% per transaction. A micropayment system would have to bypass Visa/MC altogether. We'll never have micropayments, or lower fees of any kind, as long as we're stuck with the Visa/MC cartel.
HTML takes like five minutes to learn. CSS is a lot harder, but give someone a few hours and they will also master CSS, or at least be able to Google what they are looking for.

JavaScript is a beast though. But if you use only the good parts and stay away from the quirks, someone should be able to code JavaScript within a few days.

What you should look for instead: Do they like learning new stuff? Are they humble and prestige-less? Are they intelligent and can think in abstract?

This is a really poorly written post.

Where exactly is the inequality in Silicon Valley? The OP got into Stanford, and then got an entire free ride something most people can't get. How exactly does this prove inequality? And then he got into YC. If anything this proves how equal things are in the Valley, if you're hardworking enough, there isn't anything you can't do, regardless of your social status. Sure, you have to work hard, but that goes for everyone. But if you're hardworking and poor, the blog poster seemingly proves that he can get whatever he wants, ie. into Stanford, and then YC.

True inequality is when you can't get into Stanford no matter how smart you are, because of bias or prejudice. Or that you can't start a startup because you're not white and rich. Yet this OP disproved this. So I don't get what the point is.

The entire "mindset inequality" part of the blog post is nonsense as well. The things he mentions aren't characteristics of poor people. They're characteristic of the BLOG POSTER who just happens to have grown up poor. I know plenty of people who share a bunch of the same characteristics as well. There is nothing that pertains to poor people as whole, it really just pertains to the blog poster, who happens to have once been poor.

In regards to self-hosting, there shouldn't be any copyright infringement as long as you are not re-serving the contents. Even then, there are exceptions, e.g. archive.org and Google Cache.

The biggest likely legal concern is possible accidental server DDOS, but as long as it respects robots.txt and it paces itself, that shouldn't happen.

Aren't active criminals generally extremely careful to avoid police (by, e.g., using burner phones?) And isn't law enforcement mostly about catching criminals? I don't see why law enforcement would be about anything other than figuring out how to catch people who are extremely careful to avoid police.

I don't disagree with your first two paragraphs. I just think the average criminal of this generation is well aware of the idea that they need to avoid putting incriminating data "in the cloud", to about the same degree that they're aware of the idea that you have to wear gloves to avoid leaving fingerprints.
To be honest, one thing you can do is retrain yourself to be un-allergic to words like "privilege", and see their use as the consequence of a lot of people's suffering systemic unfairness and injustice.

When I see that word, "privilege," especially tied to attacks on white/male/hetero/whatever, my response isn't "oh jeez, not that again".....it's "yeah, that is a problem, and I really wish the other white male hetero folks in the room could see it and not just roll their eyes".

It sounds like you want to be an ally, and that's great. I think the hardest part is probably recognizing that when people talk about privilege, it's really not personal, it really isn't about you, even though you're a beneficiary of it every day. Knowing about systemic injustice and doing nothing/remaining silent, though, that's pretty callous, and knowing about systemic injustice and perpetuating it, well, then it would be about you.

The drivers don’t seem to be very loyal to any one company. The thing about ride sharing is you can achieve a high density of drivers in a small geographical location at relatively low costs. It is really hard to stop a competitor that is localised.

If I was going to take on Uber I would wait until they IPOed and then build out a business based on local dominance in secondary markets where I would concentrated on getting the transport and maintenance costs down as much as possible. I would lobby the local governments to make life difficult for Uber while promoting the “local hero”. Done well this strategy would be hard for a large player like Uber to fight.
I can't tell if I'm exposing the wrong port(s) (or rather, PORTing the wrong EXPOSES, please shoot whoever inverted that terminology). I also can't easily tell if I'm getting relative paths wrong, and I can't rapidly iterate on fixing the problem. That's where you really feel the debugging problems. The drag of day to day troubleshooting of new configuration or tools can still be pretty challenging.

Stuff tends to stay working once you get it working though, so that evens up the score a bit, but I'd really love it if getting there were smoothed out a bit.
Yeah, since the change in algorithm for ranking stories I've noticed far more 'highly ranked' front page articles that have zero or very few comments.

99%+ of companies aren't startups, even if they just "started". Why would you expect the advice to be general?

Almost by definition, a startup is burning at a unsustainable rate while looking for a model that will make it sustainable and then some. The author is suggesting a point where you can decide that just isn't going to happen and bow out with some grace and avoid the almost inevitable pain and mess if you don't. It wasn't even suggested as a hard and fast point.

I don't believe most people who let a company burn to the waterline do it because they haven't given up "faith", but because they are unable to be honest with themselves that they have failed until it is unavoidable. Doing this to yourself is unfortunate, but there is a special level in hell for people who take employees with them unawares.

PHP actually has great tooling now (PhpStorm + Xdebug). The standard library is also fantastic in terms of its breath -- almost everything is already baked into PHP. It's really inconsistent, though, which could be enough reason for someone to call it "poor".

The syntax... I dunno. I think that's strongly a matter of personal preference. I just wanted to point out that PHP can be less painful than people realize (although still painful).

Edit: also be sure to look into Airbrake for logging exception in production. I find it to be pretty indispensable.

I'm not sure I understand. ES6 modules are basically equivalent to "require". `import foo from "foo";` is the same as `var foo = require("foo");`

Yes, it was Kevin Dangoor who started the CommonJS (originally "ServerJS") project and led many of the discussions. Kris Kowal and many others were instrumental as well.

What porting? We have quite a few pieces of software in rumprun-packages which require ZERO (0) porting or patches to function as unikernels, e.g. haproxy, mpg123 and php. Feel free to check them out for yourself if you don't want to take my word for it.
They have to digitize, in part, because all of the states have exclusive publication/etc agreements with westlaw or lexis or ....

So you can't get a feed of cases from pretty much anywhere, and often, you aren't allowed to bulk download, etc.

Plenty of folks have digitized all the data harvard is talking about here. They are not first.
Carl malamud, for example, has scanned all the federal reporters and tons and tons of other cases.

and

(My experience here is from back in the early 2000's working on getting pacer/states/etc to open up all of this data, so we could get it into google scholar and elsewhere. Often, they were willing to sell it to us, but they would not let us pay them pretty much any amount of money to make it just open and freely available, which is what we really wanted. Things have not gotten better, sadly, and in fact, have gotten worse)
But drivers can drive for multiple services at the same time, using whichever one is giving them a customer at any specific moment. I've talked to many Uber/Lyft drivers that use both apps at the same time.

On the consumer side, having the most cars available is not the only thing to consider. There's also price. For me, Uber is the first app I check (mostly out of habit), but if there's any sort of surge pricing going on, I'll check Lyft. If Lyft doesn't have a similar surge, I'll usually ride with them, even if it means a slightly longer wait.
There sure are a lot of confident yet highly speculative declarations about life in that article, in spite of the fact that we currently only have a sample size of one.

It's an n of 1 experiential depiction of what the person went through, combined with the attempt at extracting the points in which that n of 1 had to overcome certain challenges. It also hypothesizes that there are similar challenges that immigrants and lower income folks go through. Commenters on the post resonate with it, so I think it definitely exists despite another segment of the same economic population also existing that may not share similar challenges. Whether these challenges are more prevalent on the lower income segment of the population or immigrants versus the general population is up to a broader study. The article sparks the conversation with his post though, so I think it's worth giving it the respect of sharing it with the public and the possibility (as validated by a few comments already) that it may in fact also be a shared experience by a percentage of lower income, immigrant populations.
Are drivers really under Uber's control when they can easily have both Uber, Lyft, and any similar app open at the same time?

I think in major cities, both Uber and Lyft are becoming commodities - both of them have ample enough supply that I just choose the cheaper option.

My personal lesson from the fermi paradox and the drake equation in particular is that we humans are terrible at grasping very small probabilities. Intuition completely fails when we have to decide if something has the probability 10^-5 or 10^-50, which makes sense because for almost all practical purposes both are almost zero in most situations, but for edge cases like the drake equation they make all the difference.

Yes, England lost. The thing is, field battles don't really win wars; sieges do. At least when the war is about territory.

England did a lot of damage to France, but couldn't really hold on to the territory. And besides, it was really only a handful of field battles they won so spectacularly (not just due to the longbow, but due to a more comprehensive strategy involving longbows together with knights on foot and good defensive terrain).
Take a look at pony-lang. It's sorta like what Rust was once going to be. It's sort of implicitly going for a bare-metal Erlang-shaped thing.

There's a lot missing, not the least of which is a set of abstractions over the rich primitives which provide simple programming interfaces that don't force a lot of the language's complexity on you, but if what you want is something that might one day be a really fast Erlangish it's probably the front-runner at the moment.

I still have high hopes for BEAMJIT existing as a production-grade thing someday. That way I don't have to drop into C in my Erlang applications as often. Sure BEAMJIT will probably never be as fast, but if it can be good-enough while also not forcing me across the safety boundary to get to that good-enough state... that's a huge win.

A lot of it is essentially hacking around the fact that medicine & hospitals weren't designed for computers.

For example: we used to (still do) keep large files of old notes for patients. In the worst cases think reams of paper three inches thick held together by the flimsiest of plastic ties.

The solution for computerising this? Scan it all. Categorise by date and medical specialty. Unfortunately using this database turns out to be horrendously slow. Each doctor has to download each page from the database in order to look at it and make sure it's not the page they are looking for (no or poor text recognition). As you can imagine, hundreds of doctors doing this at 9am in the morning grinds the network to a halt.

That's just one component of the system we use every day - I have more!
