I would argue the exact opposite, but it's because it's not only just the product, but also the customer service and experience.

Switching from Amazon to a similar service is a huge risk to me. Will I get the same customer service when I order something and it comes shattered at my door? Can I rely on two day shipping being really 2 days? (I know some people here are whining about it being 3, the majority of us get it within 2, sometimes 1) Can I trust the reviews on the other sites? Will they know my preferences and suggest me other items or books as well as Amazon or are they coercing me? Do I get the same value added from the "premium" subscription such as Prime? Who knows.

Switching cloud providers? A snap, provided you have architected your systems according and not treated AWS offerings as black boxes and understand "OK I am using RDS, I can just switch to another MySQL provider easy enough" and prepared accordingly. "Ok I am using Elasticache, time for Redis." I imagine it's even easier if you stuck to containers. And unlike Amazon retail where there really isn't an online store that can match it in terms of customer service and experience, many would argue that a DigitalOcean or similar have better customer service, so there is competition there.
Pocket Tactics [http://www.pockettactics.com] is mostly what you want. This site should be stickied every time HN talks about mobile games.

Most of what they cover is buy-once. IAP in their covered games usually takes the form of optional DLC or as a way to buy the game outright after trying the initial levels. When they occasionally review a F2P game, they take the side of the average consumer and discuss how intrusive (or not) the IAP is.
I agree it is completely unrealistic. This is a fantasy scenario originally described on Seeking Alpha, and most of us are just having fun with it (I think.)

It will never happen and is logistically impossible: you are absolutely correct.
It feels to me as if GitLab is pushing (major) security updates very often. Now there are two reasons I can think of this happening:

- They are very open about security vulnerabilities and fix them fast.

- There are some inherent defects in their software that cause these security vulnerabilities to come up so frequently.

I'd like to believe it's the first.

I wrote something similar a while ago: https://shruubi.wordpress.com/2015/04/20/australia-doesnt-ha...

TL;DR - Australia suffers from the sin of not being America when it comes to media content-access, where providers seemingly don't care about our money and the only way to get access is through an overpriced service run by a monopoly.
I was following along until this point towards the end:

As it is, Britain’s sovereign wealth was effectively distributed to taxpayers to spend or save as they chose, and in very many cases that means it ended up in bricks and mortar, in Britain’s absurdly overpriced residential property market. But it’s too late now: the end of North Sea oil is nigh, we’ve privatised everything, the pensions bill is mounting, the habit of personal saving has been all but lost, the housing market is tottering and the government’s finances are hopelessly adrift. We’re on a course set for us a generation ago; in a generation’s time, as John Hawksworth says, we’ll look enviously at Norway and the Gulf and wonder: where did our oil money go?

I think this is a somewhat lazy analysis that mars an otherwise interesting and thought-provoking piece. I'm not convinced that the government disbursing oil wealth in the form of tax cuts went mostly into higher property prices. I get that real estate is inflated - it's inflated in all major cities in the US too - but I feel like the author takes too large a leap of faith in his logic here. What is the mechanism that links this argument together?
partycoder, I share the same view as you.

I'm 33 and grew up in the Bible belt. Looking back, I'm shocked at how good my Sex Ed was. We were taught that abstinence was the only 100% effective choice, but also about condoms and birth control pills, as well as things like the sponge (which was not recommended, but still covered) and long term hormonal implants. The biggest misinformation we were given was stuff that was genuinely believed then (and still believed by many) like there being a high likelihood of pregnancy from pre-ejaculate.

But I am also confused how there are/were actually sexually active teenagers who think things like "Ziploc bags are as effective as condoms". Maybe the trickle down effect of decent Sex Ed was responsible for dispelling these kinds of beliefs before we were at the sexually active age. I certainly didn't know anyone who thought (or at least expressed) an opinion this ignorant in high school. If nothing else, having sex through a Ziploc bag sounds miserably uncomfortable.

But then, I did know a guy in college who apparently thought the condom was supposed to be stretched over the scrotum, so this ignorance is out there (or at least was).
Not all companies are based in the US in the first place. People worry about outsourcing in other countries, too.

I think the whole point of the experiment was to select applicants YC would not normally pick. This would bring back all YC biases.

There is no fact of the matter, for the recoverability of what someone believes to be encrypted files. The state has one subjective belief—that the files are real, but encrypted. You might have a different belief—e.g. that the files never existed, and your disk contains random data with a disk-encryption header prepended. The concern is that you can be held in contempt for what the government believes to be true—that real data is there, under encryption, which you are not revealing—without that necessarily having any connection to reality.

By analogy: the government can compel me to open a safe, but it shouldn't be able to compel me to open something that—for all examinable intents and purposes—is a block of concrete with the facade of a safe door attached. I could certainly be held in contempt for refusing to open something that has been proved to be a safe; but holding me in contempt for refusing to open a concrete block, because they believe I have some magic power to turn it into a safe, is Kafkaesque.
As far as I know, ULA's track record for reliability is much better. Last I read, maybe a few months ago, SpaceX launches had failed 1 in ~19 times, and ULA's failed zero in ~85.

I wonder how the Air Force addressed this issue. Perhaps the cost of failure is less than the premium for reliability; perhaps they evaluated reliability based on something other than the track records (e.g., an engineering review); and of course it's political - McCain, Chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, is reputedly a strong advocate for SpaceX.
Is there any evidence outsourcing hinders, rather than helps formation of local industries?

As far as I remember, foreign direct investment has a pretty good track record in terms of helping countries develop. (As opposed to eg loans to businesses or government. Loans can plausibly lead to financial instability, when the hot money comes in and again when it leaves.)

The real problem is this entitlement mentality that if something is not offered to you, you have the right to just take it.

Torrenting of Game of Thrones most likely doesn't hurt the show's profits. It's one of the most popular shows on television today and HBO relies on subscription fees instead of advertising dollars.

This isn't the case for a less popular show. Shared shows don't show up as tracked views and can and will affect real things like ratings and if a show gets picked up the next year.

The end result of this will be product placement right in the show, so sharing it will only help make money for the show creator. It's very similar to all of the people using Ad block: eventually, companies will have to resort to articles and content being one big advertisement.

I don't think it has anything to do with spirituality or even with religion.

There seems to be a certain alpha male - or at least alpha authoritarian - model of power which is rooted in a pretence of stern, serious, and disciplined public morality combined with private self-indulgence.

When you have naked boobies on display in public buildings, that model of pretended integrity starts to break down. Boobies and naked bodies - especially female bodies - are fundamentally antithetical to the immensely serious business of public alpha moral posturing. They're strictly for private off-the-record consumption only.

Non-authoritarians don't care about keeping up appearances in this way. But authoritarians and narcissists most certainly do.
I would love to see Pinboard in YC somehow (although might make more sense for Core vs. Fellowship); more people with some level of cost-consciousness in how they build infrastructure would be a win for the alumni network, plus it is a great product. What would be interesting to me is if Maciej would actually enjoy the process; I think he would.
It is not out of the question that Stephen Wolfram, if it is not he himself, does indeed have some publicists policing his Wikipedia article.

Compare the edit statistics of Stephen's page:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-articleinfo/?article=Stephe...

...to those of the page of an arguably even more famous research scientist, Terence Tao:

https://tools.wmflabs.org/xtools-articleinfo/?article=Terenc...

Notice that, (as might be reasonable to expect of many Wikipedia articles), Terence's page experienced rapid growth a few years after it's creation, then received sustained updates over time. In contrast, Stephen's page does not display this trend at all and is rather bursty.

Also notice that whereas the top editors of Tao's page are evenly distributed among many users, on Stephen's page nearly 10% of the edits and a quarter of the text comes from one editor who happens to have been affiliated with Wolfram Research.

Of course this is all anecdotal evidence and eyeball statistics at best.

The train goes up, the train goes down: a simple new way to store energy
The README is written in Chinese so here are a few points from this project's README:

# Rationale

Using Flash to watch videos on Macbooks generates a lot of heat. Many Chinese video websites have near-zero support for HTML5 videos on PC/Mac browsers. The old method of using <video> and streaming from the mobile version sites can't get you 1080p videos.

# Rough Implementation

This project plays FLVs in browsers by slicing them into fragmented MP4 (fmp4) files. A set of Stream operations are defined in mediaSource.js, which in turn depends on ./flvdemux.js for demuxing the FLV and mux.js (from videojs) for various other functions. Uint8Array is used for speed.

The rest of the project consists mostly of UI (keyboard only), file-sneaking functions for video sites and things like flash blockers.

# Performance

20~40ms transcoding time for a 10s video segment on i5 2.9G.

# Availability

Available as Chrome extension "hoihfdmeofbkbbjpieicemdhmjgfdihm".

I would tend to agree. More information about sex (the reproductive "risks" as well as contraception availability, shift in acceptance of oral sex (as alternative when contraception is not available) as well as the acceptance of same-sex sex experimentation by these teenagers as well as young adults.

It's astounding how before the wide availability of information, people believed in "folk" contraception.

Make it user friendly.

You need to hide anything command line related from the user. Get UI/UX & HCI people to make everything simple. It shouldn't take anyone more then a few moments to see what's going on.

As programmers and software engineers: we need to make everything run out of the box, maybe even to the extent that windows applications will run via wine or a VM (Like Qubes OS). Even if it inflates the size of installs, we need drivers for the most common hardware on install disks. We also need support from manufacturers to get well-made drivers to the open-source market. (Hell, some more hardware implementations sticking to standards couldn't hurt)

Do not expect the user can do anything or learn anything on the fly. They aren't concerned with learning an operating system or concerned about learning about UNIX/POSIX, they care about doing their work.

There really isn't anything holding linux from the desktop market other then some legacy systems that don't really work well/aren't flexible enough for a wide range of systems.

If you're interested in some newer stuff, from chonical, that I feel will make a great difference and be a huge step forward in the right direction, look at Mir as well as Unity 8.

The progress is astounding as well as the results.

Can't wait to hear what others think of this.

Not necessarily. Some part of car manufacturing is capital intensive but electric vehicles are far easier to make than gas ones and a lot of the parts that go into any car, no matter what brand, are usually bought to third party suppliers.
It's a flawed fantasy scenario though, and not just because it's implausible. For this to happen the vast majority of the company's value must be destroyed.

Imagine the final two shareholders, each holding one share with 250 billion. For the company to buy one of these shares, it will require 250 billion in cash. The value of the company will drop by 250 billion after this transaction (because it just spent all that money) and therefore half the value has been destroyed. Now do the math upward and you'll see that to buy the 3rd share, the company lost 1/3 of its value. And for the 4th it lost 1/4 and so on.

Putting the entire company into the hands of a few insiders would require destroying virtually all the value in the company, including liquidating its assets because the market cap is far higher than the cash on hand is or could be (because market cap will always reflect cash on hand). In fact, if Apple tried to "go private" this way, it would fail to do so because much of its value is in intangible assets like tribal knowledge that cannot be sold. It does not have tangible, fungible assets that total to its market cap.

My point is, from the perspective of an average voter, replacing a corrupt bunch with another corrupt bunch is a pointless exercise, so might as well send in the strongman. That's pretty much the standard scenario in which democracy dies (Weimar, fascist Italy, II French Republic, all the way back to Julius Caesar).
Unless it creates a 'thundering herd', everyone downloading the update simultaneously, killing throughput.
And Lockheed still has to clean up the F-35 fighter mess with cost overruns, cancelled orders, spies taking terabytes of data, and retrofitting already-delivered planes.

>are you honestly suggesting that reductions in consumption and spending are favorable to nation's economy?

Yes absolutely. All the economy does is just allocate resources. If some area of the economy is consuming more, than that is coming at the expense of other areas of the economy. Likewise if spending in one area is cut, that leaves resources available for other things.

That's all supply and demand is. Prices increase or decrease with demand until the supply is stable.

History says it matters.

Make the individual item payments small enough, and quite literally, it isn't worth my time to have to decide on the value. You see, transaction costs matter, and the actual price paid itself is a very small component.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transaction_costs

Again: the amount of money necessary to eliminate advertising completely is all but inconsequential. The frictions, costs, inefficiencies, and negative externalities of fractional-mill per-page costs would be stupidly inefficient.

E.g., I can read ~50-100 web pages/day. That's, roughly, 36,000 pages, tops, per year, or $0.002 per page. Should I really have to decide one hundred times a day if a page was worth reading?

And to what end?

If I'm broke enough that that's a concern, then there's a tremendous social inequity in denying me the information.

If I'm rich enough that it's not a concern, just bill me the 0.33% out of my income tax that it would cost to provide this. I don't care, literally, it isn't worth my time, and I'm subsidising access for the poor in my own country and around the world.

My whole point is that markets and information are exceptionally poorly suited. I've considered your arguments and rejected them.

Water, incidentally, is another case where the infrastructure, that is, fixed costs hugely outweight the marginal costs of delivery in most cases.
