I don't think the content providers have actually attempted to have that value conversation with their customers though.
Why?
Because if faced frankly, a lot of the content is crap, and their customers would flee if pushed to pay.
Some sites, e.g. The Financial Times have managed to secure paying customers for their site, customers who value the content.

Sites that shy away from the honest conversation, with the risk their user base will walk en masse, have themselves to blame.

That's insane. In offshore heavy lift we stick to barge motion limits around 2 degrees. Maybe we're just far more risk averse, but I cannot fathom how this would work with 8-9 degrees rotation. Even being on a ship with 2-3 degrees rotation you really feel like you're walking up and down a hill.

The shuttle arguably wasn't really that "reusable." Also, SpaceX is already more cost effective. Though, that's not a good comparison given that the shuttle was designed for carrying much larger payloads.
Yeah, I'm just trying to balance the impression people seem to have that now that SpaceX can land stages, the 'reusable rocket' problem is completely solved. It's a major milestone, but there is a still a lot of work to be done.
There is no such thing as a dumb rocket : to get down, they are using almost exactly the same stuff they use to get up, weight wise: they use the gimbaled engines, and the nitrogen attitude thrusters. The only additional devices are the grid fins, to control aerodynamically the descent, and the legs. Then you have to write the right software, and it does not weight much more ;-)
None of the automation that we're seeing is making it possible for one person to make everything he needs. Automation is increasing the returns to capital and making it possible for corporations to produce things with fewer employees—none of that implies that you'll suddenly be able to make things yourself.

If anything, increasing automation increases the returns to scale. You might conceivably build your own torch. But you're certainly not going to purchase a million dollar torch-making machine.

Automation poses a threat to the traditional economic model, but on the supply side not the demand side—you'll still be buying as much as before, you just probably won't have a job.

> not aim for a perfectly mid-point landing

That was a perfect landing.

As far as not aiming for the center. Of course it is aiming for the center. That's where you have the greatest margins. Yet, this is nothing like what Blue Origin has been doing. The comparison is simply not warranted.

Rather than go into a long explanation I'll just give you this data point:

Blue Origin is FALLING down from zero velocity. It reaches a terminal velocity of around 300 to 400 miles per hour. It uses fins to navigate down to a spot that, for all intents and purposes, is almost straight down.

Falcon 9 is FLYING down from somewhere around 17,000 miles per hour. During that time it has to flip around and use three of it's engines to slow down enough not to burn-up on re-entry. The grid fins also need to fly the rocket to a ship, in the middle of the ocean, about 600 miles from the coast...and then use a precisely timed single engine burn to land it.

Here are a couple of pictures to further illustrate the point:

Like I said. Perfect landing.
What the hell?

> "Perfect enforcement" sounds only as horrible as the culture behind it is

Historically, the "culture behind it" has looked pretty damn awful once time or distance give us some perspective.

> Turning away from that is to embrace and make a home for the devil we know---corruption, physical and sexual domination of the weak by the powerful, environmental devastation, rampant species genocide, etc etc etc.

Culture frequently and reliably endorses these things and worse. Corruption, cheating, and coercion are fetishized in today's business environment -- just look at the arguments over Ben Affleck's boiler room speech on youtube -- and historically it has been worse. It's not uncommon for entire countries to get behind genocide or slavery.

If you assume, in direct contrast to extensive historical and contemporary evidence, that culture is easy to get right, to fix, or to keep fixed, then your conclusion about perfect enforcement might follow. But that assumption is so utterly absurd that I don't think even the dullest lawyer Satan could get his hands on would make it the core of their argument.

What I don't understand is how Brave expects to gain a userbase. It's a Chromium fork with an ad-blocking/replacing scheme. If a user wanted to install an adblocker, why wouldn't they simply install an adblocker which removes all ads instead of an entirely separate browser which still has ads that some third party has deemed acceptable? It's not like the Brave scheme has any moral high ground here to appeal to; it's not a unique scheme and when others have tried it it generally wasn't received well[0].

I simply can't come up with a way in which Brave wins market share.

I had an uncle who was a vice president at a fortune 50 company. The executives at the company were not allowed to have a computer at their desks. They all had secretaries who dealt with email, calendars, spreadsheets, etc. The point was that if they were sitting behind a computer doing time consuming clerical work required to interact with a computer, they were being distracted from much more important tasks. The company was more interested in having people at that level who could delegate and organize than to actually do the work themselves.

The skills and kind of work that makes a person successful at one level often leads to lack of success at another.
Ah yes, the old "lets give up freedom for safety!" argument. Finally someone in the US steps up to make this one.

When you get over your insecurity complex, maybe try to see the bigger picture and be happy he spent his time thinking how to better educate / help others and not just one sole email. Your comment is actually incredibly more arrogant than Knuth ever was or will be. Do you think his secretary is in shackles or something? You call a man who devoted his life to education "purely arrogant." Get over yourself.

For some people, but not others, paying for the course helps motivate the person toward completion.

For some people, but not others, the certificate holds value independent of the learning experience. That also can motivate the learner to completion or increase esteem for an applicant to an academic or commercial solicitation.

I have a bunch of the free unverified certificates from a few years ago. I found the certification process motivating and a useful time management tool.

Good luck.

Ask HN: How does your team hire engineers?
Having been researching different hiring practices, it seems that most companies converge on a few different techniques (e.g. algorithms on a whiteboard, take-home challenge, pairing, and technical interview questions). This leads me to ask:

How do you think your hiring process can be improved?

While I agree with your premise about different types of work, and while I agree there's some level of clerical work required to interact with a computer, computers can do far more than clerical work, and can provide intellectual leverage when used properly. Banning a high-level executive from using something that gives them intellectual leverage holds the organization back.

Listing all the ways in which various bits of the world relates to the US is entirely missing my point. All the bits of the world relate to each other directly as well. Not all of those relations are the US's fault or responsibility. Visa decisions are not being made around the world solely in relation to the current state of the United States. In fact, despite occasional rhetoric to the contrary, the US probably the least of concerns relating to those decisions; nobody is facing immanent social changes caused by incoming US immigration or fearing terrorist attacks from US citizens. (You can and should debate whether the US government's foreign policy is good or bad, but on the whole US citizens are individually well-behaved.) For example, Shengen is not collapsing because the US is out there agitating for it to come down. Oh, sure, trace the root causes and responsibility weaves in and out of US actions, but it's a complex tapestry and, again, a bit egocentric to specially privilege US actions in that rich tapestry.

Medium posts are no worse than institutional journalism. Journalism is also slightly less capital-intensive than spaceflight.

I also don't know if content has value until after I've read it, and in the case of journalism I still don't know after I've read it, I'll just get closer to knowing if it was worth anything over time and in light of corroboration.

I'd prefer that my money go to journalism based on a combination of how honest and thorough I think it is and its agreement with my own beliefs. That determination comes from a track record, and I'm not going to pay for it before I see it. That's entirely incompatible with the idea of journalism that massive conglomerates with conflicts so universal that they just have to generally support the status quo, try to propagate. I send money to journalism online that I rarely read. I read journalism online that I'd never give a penny to. I have read David Brooks, Charles Krauthammer, Thomas Friedman, and George Will. I'm not paying for that.

I read plenty of stuff from people I despise. I've spent hours reading white supremacist message boards. I'm supposed to send them money or else remain wilfully ignorant of their publicly expressed opinions? Not a chance. I collect John Birch material; its material that I personally think the world would be better off if it never had been written. I should feel an ethical obligation to the authors and give them money? Let them come get it.

edit: What's being discovered is that "publishers" were actually sellers of decorated paper. Once we didn't need paper, we didn't need them; the only reason they were ever considered managers of truth is because they were extremely large dealers of very detailed paper.

> but that's not the same as journalism the same way me tinkering with a drone is not SpaceX.

Bad example. SpaceX is one of the few companies where a lot of people would gladly work even for free. But yeah, I see what you mean.

(Also, I wouldn't discount the knowledge of tinkerers / hobbyists - they often know much more than their peers doing the same stuff for money, because when you have such a hobby you're by definition motivated to learn and understand. A lot of tech jobs (especially programming) are done by people who were force-fed some basic education and then kind of ended up doing it because they need the money.)

Back to the main point - it's not "I provided value to you and would like to be compensated". It's: "I created something that I say will provide you value, and for a chance of taking a look at it I demand you first talk with this random salesman (who is 100% totally legit and trustworthy!)". I.e. it's asking one to at best waste their time (at worst to hurt themselves seriously) to have a chance of viewing something that may or may not be of value.

I second this. Even if Iran, N Korea, China e.t.c were doing this I'd be very happy for them. Space missiles and nuclear missiles have things common to them, but if the only intention of the folks working on it was to make space exploration cheaper, I'd cheer for them.

Great collection of color palettes. More features will come, hopefully :)
Actually, yeah, it is. A better analogy is TVs.

For years, everyone has been hooking up their own TVs (browsers) to their service (internet) and have had to watch and listen to really noisy, distracting ads that subtract from their experience (web ads that track, reduce performance, and are really distracting).

Recently, some people came up with interceptor boxes and DVRs (extensions) that let you either silence and block out ads or record what you want to watch and play it back while skipping ads. Many people loved this and started actively using them.

Now someone came up with a new TV (Eich's browser) that automatically removes ads and replaces them with quieter, less distracting ads. That's all it is.

Until today, I didn't know that Brave was available on other platforms, since I only use it on Android (it replaced an app I was previously using, link bubble). I gotta admit it's pretty decent, although it's unlikely that I'll be using it to replace my usual desktop combo of Google Chrome + uBlock Origin.

As a service used by billions, Facebook is not just some inconsequential site we can ignore; just like major TV channels, it has influence over society at large, and promotes what some of us consider pernicious and unsafe behaviors and expectations. For example, the idea that we should always use our "official" name was relatively uncommon back in 2005/6 when it came about.

But more than that, you can't choose to use something else. Their whole approach right from the start was to get as much info from everyone as possible, tracking people even on third-party sites[1]. Their all-seeing "Like buttons" are everywhere, and only naive people believe they aren't tracking non-users.

Apply HN: Melt – API for Physical Gifting
Melt: http://melthq.com

Demo: http://melthq.com/dashboard

Problem: Companies are always looking for ways to engage with and delight their customers. Sending small gifts to customers is not scalable. Generic postcards and mailers are ineffective.

Solution: Melt is an API that devs can effortlessly tie into and trigger gift sending based on whatever conditions they want (customers bday, purchase amount, 10th purchase, etc.) Small gifts can be customized with customer info. We handle the production, customization and mailing and figuring out how to scale. Small gift ideas: chocolate, giftcards, flower(s), handwritten notes, whatever to delight your customer.

About us: I'm a developer and previously built and maintained a large hosting company's billing and customer service APIs. I'm a two time startup founder and also built a real estate company to mid six figures income while still in college. My partner is at Wharton working on her MBA. She previously scaled an ecommerce food startup from $45k MMR to $105k MMR in six months and worked at Uber doing operations and logistics.

Vision: We want to build a platform for anyone to send physical goods, seamlessly. What stripe did for payments we want to do for, say, chocolate bars and flowers.

Market: We're targeting client based businesses initially as they already send gifts to customers. Think Realtors, Brokers, Lawyers. Eventually any company looking to improve customer engagement and relationships would benefit from Melt.

Progress: I've been working on the code since late February. API MVP is about 75% complete. Web app is about 25% complete. We have ~35 signups from a small reddit post I threw up a month ago. Surprised to have had a few CEOs from large companies sign up, one of which is a YC company. Partner and I have talked to nearly 25 lawyers/realtors about their use case.

If you have any questions, comments, feedback, or interest in the project reach out. We'd love to hear from you!
