I submitted my startup two days ago by myself, as someone who didn't have any PH "karma", but I somehow was granted permissions for submitting products (probably because I was subscribed to a newsletter for a long time). I asked by email if it's ok if I submit my startup by myself. I was told it's ok and wished good luck.

On the launch day my site received literally five visits (in the first hours, probably a few more later). It was dead from the start and didn't get a real chance to be seen by the community. Lesson for everyone: under no circumstances have your product submitted to PH by a non-mod account.

I'm actually not angry at PH. They have their rules which are obviously working. The "elitist" model is working (to some degree at least). My fault was that I didn't follow the guides which mention what I learned. And I think they should give a warning when submitting a product by an account like mine, because there's no practical chance such product will be visible.
Chocolate already contains soy lecithin as an emulsifying agent. It's usually a very small amount of the total, so I'm not sure swapping out 40% of the sugar content (i.e., a much more significant amount of the total) with it would really work.

> If you want to change your inventory accounting methods you definitely need to calculate out a charge (or credit) for the switch.

I thought (and I could be wrong) that the normal thing to do with LIFO/FIFO as to track it as if specific lots were sold (even if those aren't the actual items sold), so that if you switched between them you just changed the order in which you were treating the remaining (accounting, rather than actual) lots as being sold, without the charge/credit you would have if you refigured past history of sales to meet the new accounting method.

> Does anyone else feel uncomfortable when SF tech workers, in this case a CEO of an acquired startup, talk about homelessness in this way?

I recognize it as a tone-deaf thing to say, probably from someone who's never actually experienced real homelessness. But I also recognize that there's no malice in the statement. Language isn't a universal thing, and different words mean different things to different people. I wouldn't pick a fight over it.

People unintentionally trivialize others all the time without meaning to; I'm sure I've done it myself in the past week. The challenge (I think) is to be sensitive to it but also to not be too self-righteous about it.

that kind of attitude is responsible for a lot of awful behavior in the startup community—why should a business venture be exempt from criticism for unethical/misleading practices just because they managed to parlay those practices into eventual financial success? what does that say about startup culture and the rewards, the "deserved congrats," we give out?

Quite interesting -- German government wants to keep the valuable parts of future manufacturing processes in Germany whereas the companies don't care where their future manufacturing value comes from and will remain more interested in optimizing for their current revenue stream for some amount of time in terms of how they deal with the German governments. That revenue will eventually disappear though ... I wonder if they could put a hefty tax on the gas powered cars but offer a rebate for that tax for every electric car sold that is proportionate to the amount of the electric car value that was domestically produced. Investment in domestic electric car production would then become a direct mechanism for preserving their existing revenue stream while forcing them to set themselves up for domestic production of electric cars in the future ...
And it has gotten worse lately. Many manufactures are doing half sugar and half artificial sweetener. And they never label it as such leading me to take a sip and promptly throw the rest away.
How would you know that?

The site is already divided into three sections: header, controls to the left, laptop list to the right. To style that accordingly won't make it in any way less useable or readable. Making the header look like a header would not affect you negatively in any way, or properly styling the pagination, or giving it a color scheme (even one based on white as background).

Really, this is a Show HN. Let's at least try to give OP proper feedback without resorting to head-in-the-sand subjectivity like that. "I'd prefer to have it look like my site I created for geocities with Frontpage" is not what will help OP presenting this to a potential employer, or making it a viable source of income.
I was active for about 18 months, and probably would have stayed longer if I had a single sales bone in my body.

I mostly enjoyed listening to the stories of those above me (I never made more than $400-500/mo so that was most people who weren't losing money) but of course I paid for those CDs so in the end I made much less money than it looked like I did on paper.

I do like the concept of being positive, visualizing your future, making a plan to reach it, etc. It's a shame it's so closely ingrained with a company selling dish soap and disgusting energy drinks, though!
Solvency risk is not the only reason for a positive interest rate.

Let's say that US Government borrows $10 000 from you, for 1 year. This means that you cant spend this 10k next year by investing them into some new cool company or just by eating lot of pizzas and drinking margaritas.

So, you say you don't want to be compensated for this, and you will happily lend 10K with 0% interest rate?

In a perfect world the hardware manufacturers would fuzz their own drivers before release, rather than waiting for someone else to do it and then ignoring their bug reports.
I have maintained the viewpoint for a while that if Uber's valuation is based on the inevitability of driverless cars and the reclaiming of that 80%+ revenue they are in trouble. Driverless cars even when the tech is ready will take many years to clear the political hurdles necessary for wide enough usage to help Uber. The same people that put Trump in office are not going to happily accept tech that will be painted in the political light as a tool to remove tens of thousands of jobs from the economy. The politics is going to be almost as big of a hurdle as the tech itself.

(Not to mention that removal of the driver opens up Uber's competition many competent tech companies with deep enough pockets and direct access to the masses.)

> You could conceivably take your money, buy a boat, load it up with 20 years worth of solar panels, greenhouse materials, medicine, guns, etc... and you can boat out to a cold desolate rock in the ocean like Bouvet Island, and you can live a complete life of anarchy and no taxes, etc etc.

And over time, the panels will deteriorate and break, medicine will run out, guns will rust, explosives in ammo will go bad (assuming people haven't already used it all up trying to kill each other). Then, the Anarchy Island will quickly revert to hunter-gatherer/early agrarian level of advancement and quality-of-life.

I don't understand this comment. The Economist was founded as a free trade advocate about 150 years ago and is hardly opposed to trade!

The article clearly says the fed can raise interest rates or not as it wishes.

The article doesn't disagree with your point 2 (I agree with it too) it just talks about domestic political issues related to this factor.

Serious echoes of the Asian Financial Crisis of 97/98. A lot of Dollar denominated debt being issued outside of the United States with prospects that the Federal Reserve is going to raise rates.

Although it's a little different, this time, as there are not as many Dollar pegs left in the world. That was one of the things in the late 90s version; countries that pegged local currency to the dollar effectively mimicked US monetary policy, so when the Fed started to raise rates around 1994, they also had to start raising rates, which meant higher debt servicing costs as it became more expensive to service US debt in local currency.

I don't disagree with your assertions and in fact I think you're pointing out something that's important for people to generally understand. However, It's important to understand that this is more of a _rule_ than an exception. Very similar accusations could be leveled against most anything that's A) popular but not ubiquitous B) vote driven. Hacker News and Reddit have voting rings as well.

I'd go so far as to say that all niche markets have non-disclosed "syndicates" of sorts. Life and wealth seminars, professional conferences, information products people, church leaders, podcasts - all promote other people/products/things similar to themselves who also promote them.

It seem more important to understand this and to take it into consideration when looking at something like AngelList or PH. Advocating that these organizations work against the grain of how all niche markets work seems unlikely to be effective.
The key to electric vehicles is a shift to buy-by-the-ride (since you can get one that will take you wherever you want without worrying about range issues). That shift is also bad for most of the existing car manufacturers
Do they require individually mentioning all the products/brands (which would greatly increase recall metrics, making the placement more valuable to the buyer) or is it just a blanket "supported by product placement"?

The latter is what we have here in Germany and I find it rather unfortunate that it covers such a wide range of advertising influence: from lower rates for all that IKEA stuff one would need to create realistic backdrops, to full blown product praise like you would see on a shopping channel.

As with any war, trade wars are "won" to the extent that the ends sought are attained, usually by the political capitulation of the opposing party to end the war, rather than directly by the actions used to fight the war.

Also as with traditional armed conflict, it's rather often the case that neither side achieves a clear and unequivocal realization of its aims and that both claim a vindication unsupported by the concrete outcomes, with serious questions as to whether either achieved anything worth the cost suffered.
