$30M seems not far off the piece-meal value of their physical assets & hard-dollar equivalents--eg, current inventory, customer lists & purchase histories, a warehouse-sized collection of studio-grade photography gear, (nor sure what else).

>On Linux, more is part of the util-linux package but its manpage outright tells you to use less instead

On minimal distros (say, Debian in the minbase configuration), more is more likely to be included than less. I haven't used any other small distros for a while but is util-linux normally there instead of other packages (actually, I wonder why minbase doesn't just use busybox).
exactly. a real genius wouldn't go to harvard. real geniuses don't need "stamps" of approval. fake geniuses do, and not to shit on Y Combinator startups, but these days they aren't that ground breaking. Though now there are more hardware startups, in terms of "app startups," every batch looks the same. The tech isn't that different from what was being done 3-4 years ago. Web app with a panel for a given industry, perhaps a marketplace. Rinse and repeat. That said, it is totally refreshing to see every industry appified, but coding-wise the vast majority aren't pushing the envelope. Let's just not pretend Y Combinator is at the cusp of application innovation like it was several years ago. Another way of putting it is: Y Combinator is more about "businesses" these day than technology.

> prevent the most egregious cases of auto-formatting gone wrong

Sure, but converting "DEC1" to "December, 1st" is not egregiously wrong, it's a valuable feature and in most of the cases the expected thing.
Explanation given for why this is not a threat to civil liberties is:

hey thanks for the answer. I get what you mean, but the math still does not make sense.

For example, if you made $100 million MRR, then a "stamp of approval" for 7% is probably too much right.

I guess what I mean is, yes stamp of approval, alumni network etc. is great value, but at some point you kind of have to look at the math and say "well where do you draw the line". With 800k MRR already and growing, does it really make sense to give up 7% for stamp of approval

7% is a ton of equity, especially for a company that's already doing 800k MRR. You can do a lot with 7% equity of a company that has 800k MRR
Just another POV. Be glad you actually have a job in your industry of choice. I've been trying to make a leap to a fulltime programmer for a while now, and failed some interviews. I'm not even doing what I want to anymore and my fear is that I can't even accomplish it at this point in my life.
Everyone wants a damn genius or thinks they do, and I'm just a normal guy who enjoys programming.

You have fulltime, real dev experience. You won't have a problem getting another job, but it won't be overnight.

You're already set, you just don't realize it. I'm actually envious of you (in a healthy way). I'd probably spend more of your time watching out for that wife you have honestly, that raised an eyebrow for me. Without kids in the picture you can always easily bail.
I think types can be both frustrating and life-saving.

However, the "danger" for me lies primarily in implicit conversion. That is, Python vs Lua/JS/R. When writing large programs, some things happen implicitly and linting may not catch it.

Everything else besides implicit conversion just helps structure the programs in specific ways and helps speed them up.
MMOs, and to an extent all multiplayer games, gain their complexity and replayability through PvP interaction (when I say 'v' I don't mean necessarily through conflict interaction, I mean also through cooperative interaction). Ultima Online is still paraded as one of the best of the genre because it had such high freedom in how players interacted with each other. WoW gained a huge level of depth from how it was set up for big, complex groups of players working togther with the whole raid boss thing.

Even Dota and LoL gain their complexity not through the game (I mean they both have 1 map) but through the interaction that happens with 5v5 gameplay. Quake and CS are the same.

The problem with Pokemon Go is that there's no player interaction beyond gym battles, which are just about as minimial as player interaction can get and could almost be replaced by NPC trainers that you periodically have to beat to kick them out before they reset again.

Had they had more emphasis on player encounters, Pokemon Go would not be burning out. Trading of pokemon, player vs player battles outside of gyms, a more meaningful gym possession metagame (think Planetside). An item meta-economy where you can find and trade items that you can pick up around the place randomly and which give you bonuses (to catch rates, to pokemon power, etc. etc. - there's heaps of scope here). This is all roughly mapped out in MMOs, so it's a case of implementation not invention.

Patching this in now is far less effective since they've burnt much of the goodwill that players give them when they first start playing. For every player that'll return, 10 won't bother no matter what you do to the game.
This is correct. Coordinators do serve some of the same functions as a manager, but the difference is they are appointed by the people they are managing. We call this "dynamic hierarchies by consent". Coordination also rotates, and many members have been in the role and then moved on from it.

Oscar had 130,000 customers losing about $100 million a year. OK, that's $770 per customer per year. Plans were under-priced. Did they know they were mis-pricing the plans or did their data fall down?

Here's the thing with ACA -- it's a consistent set of terms and conditions that you can shop against. Some of the terms might not exist otherwise, particularly eliminating pre-existing conditions. Ideally insurance companies would price the plans correctly, operate efficiently, and break even. Then Americans would benefit from access to plans with these shared terms.

But here's the scary thing, that $100 million a year could be from 10-100 expensive patients. Unlimited Lifetime Benefits is a pretty awesome term. I really don't know how you write a policy like that.

It is strange to think you could face the independent mandate while also not having any ACA plan to choose from in your marketplace? Is the mandate specifically waived in these cases?
Yeah same here, I'm a bit nervous giving out my personal information to perfect strangers. Is this site legitimate?
Now all we need is someone to modify less to recognize that its standard in is connected the output of more so that if you type `cat /etc/passwd | more | less` it could output something which, more or less, looked like the input.
I really like the idea, but on my Nexus 6 running Nougat, it said my library was just the Facebook app sounds. I saw no settings or anywhere to point it to my correct music location (I normally use Google Play Music, so whatever that default is..).
Are there resources you could use inside the company? E.g. a coach/therapist? I think they'd be super-aware of the stresses of working in the business and honestly it's the closest fastest way of getting some support that I can think of.

Just talking it out on a regular basis with someone who knows the pressure. You're not the only one at that company feeling like that.

If you have (in the past) thought yourself smart and capable and liked, then you can find your way back to that with a bit of help.

Once you have a bit of a better emotional/skills platform and more resilience, then you can choose if you want to stay or go, and you'll find you've strengthened your position for new jobs. You might also find that your environment is pretty good, once you're more able to handle the pressure and BS that it comes with.

The article does mention how a bunch of these transactions were OTC, earning pennies here and there for Deutsche.
For many routes, planes/trains/coaches are substitutes, so it's meaningful to say that trains are not monopolies. How do we know? Because when train tickets go up in price, there's a measurable effect on the number of coach tickets bought.

Your example (household electricity vs. diesel generators) doesn't work in the same way. If domestic electricity prices in London were to go up by 25℅, the number of diesel generators and amount of diesel fuel sold would not budge. Because diesel isn't a reasonable substitute.

If anyone wants to know more, search the internet for 'cross elasticity of demand' and 'definition of substitute'.
Channel 7 here in Australia broadcast on 3 channels for free (with ads). They also offered free streaming on mobile devices for a range of sports and had a $20 deal for complete access to all content.

That said, they really annoyed me with the way they handled the time difference. They would open their prime time coverage with spoilers of all the previous day's events and then tell you which replays you could watch on the other channels later....
>Quero Education is an ed-tech startup out of Brazil that is promising to help solve under-enrollment issues at Brazilian universities. Contrary to what most of us would think, coming from schools challenged daily by a lack of professors and dormitories, enrollment at Brazilian schools would need to double to just match the number of available seats.

This is perplexing to me at first glance so hopefully someone from the country can shed some light on this issue. In the states, if anything, we've oversold the college education (and advanced degrees like law degrees) to the point where a great number of students are unable to attain the careers (implicitly) promised by these degrees. They are often crushed by a mountain of debt and struggle to pay it back over a lifetime. Prospective students have finally caught onto this (hooray Internet!), and many lower tier law schools are shutting down.

Brazil, according to this blurb, does not have this problem. In fact it has the opposite problem of not enough students? If this were the States I'd be quick to dismiss it as "the schools don't provide value to students, thus they are underenrolled, and they should shut down." But this is probably not the case -- are prospective students genuinely missing a great opportunity to educate themselves and set themselves up to greatly improve their lifetime earning potential? Would love to get a local perspective here.

True but there are a lot fewer people on that side of the world, and even fewer still who would be considered "1st world" enough to have the spare time and the smartphones with data plans necessary to play.
Yes, the first overhaul with gargantuan regulation change worked so well we should definitely do it again and this time add salary caps for the people removing my appendix: "You make too much money, now work on my body and don't accidently mess up please." And by yes I mean no.

We could do something that would actually work: Deregulate the industry, enhance legal protection for healthcare workers (to keep the lawyers from driving prices up again). Let health insurers decide rates and demographics they wish to cover. Legalize discounts for people with healthy habits, and penalties for those who don't have them. And instead of trying to tax the health insurance companies into covering people with expensive health conditions, we could actually fund medicare (instead of both Democrats and Republicans continuously slashing it's payments to healthcare workers). Competition for the "healthy" people would stabilize quickly and insurance companies would be forced to grow profits by creating plans individualised for not so healthy people. Really the only regulation needed would be ones around a couple of moral issues, maybe something like: no dropping people for health conditions that aren't preventable... or have different classes of insurance like the do in the auto industry.

One only has to look at how competitive the life insurance market to see this work in action right now. Even with someone that has COPD can get affordable life insurance with after a health screening.

This is the California page: http://thesolutionsproject.org/infographic/#ca what is missing, there is zero baseline energy generation. That's right, all wind and solar. The closest that comes to baseband is hydroelectric, which during drought years like now, would mean powering the state at the detriment of all sorts of ecosystems.

I get that we can improve our energy options, but you need that base load covered, and that is either nuclear or fossil fuels at the moment.
Thanks. It makes our blood boil too.
Thanks! Can't edit my post, but didn't expect such a positive response, really cool to see others offering an ear as well.

OP's got a _lot_ going on here: fear of being stuck at a prestigious company; team/interpersonal struggles; the feeling of vulnerability from bombing an interview (which was also "the one" opportunity); possibly burnout; and the potentially very serious signs of depression. Thought I'd try to take a chance at demystifying some of the demons I know better, I'd probably learn a bit too.

Whether or not he or she reaches out, there are a lot of other great responses here, and I hope OP can at least feel less alone.

Ask HN: How to accept ACH payments without microdeposit verification
I've paid vendors online plenty of times via some form of ACH by entering my bank info, and it never required a tedious process of microdeposit verification. Does anyone know how to accept that sort of payment? Stripe doesn't seem to allow it and Plaid (plaid.com) has a pretty limited set of supported banks.
It'll get moderated out.

Not a debootstrap or any sort of Debian developer, but I assume minbase is expected to be strictly a subset of the packages one would find on a regular Debian system, which would imply having bash, dash, util-linux and so on, rather than attempting to use busybox (which is Priority: optional).
Why pyparsing, not ply or regex?
To extend your Harvard example, yes the genius needs a stamp of approval from Harvard totally agree it's the best there is

But if the genius already founded and is running a growing business at $800k MRR, then maybe she shouldn't pay the 7% entrance fee to get Harvard stamp of approval right

Stamp of approval is great. All I'm asking is, where is the line when cost/benefit makes sense. Can't be infinity right
You're kidding right? "Other industries" have literally built pretty much everything you see around you, generated the knowledge to do it, and train millions of workers in it.
"...time that could be better spent working on new features and shipping new code"

Can we please stop putting forth this idea that features >>> reliable product? The amount of dev time that a company will save from removing technical debt will likely be more than the extra sales the company will get from a new feature. I look forward to the day where the executive team comes to the developers and ask why they are working on features instead of cutting down technical debt.
I'm an exiftool user and photographer that's been using exif datetime to rename files to YYYYMMDD_hhmmss_nn.ext since 2001. I saw it as a great acknowledgement when Google switched to this format for their Camera files in Android. The only thing that differs between my scheme and theirs is the _nn. It normally says _00, but if there's more than one image taken for a second it will go upwards(_01, _02 etc).
