As a self-funding concern they don't work that way for long. If you have seed capital or another line of income, sure.

If the point is that you put 16 days of sweat equity in to make $22 a day and trending upward of passive income every day after, that would be impressive. Summarizing that you turned $100 into $450 over the course of sixteen days just sounds like a self-funding hobby. This is not the sort of thing that multiplies your cash 4.5 times every few weeks regardless of input amount. This only scales with more contact and a lot of selling.

What really impressed me were the insights into this space. Getting the initial contact by offering free help up front is an interesting angle. Figuring out that most bloggers aren't interested in really expanding their audiences in a condensed version was a surprise. I'd readily have read through a full article on either of those. The numbers summarized up front almost turned me off the rest of the article altogether.

The techniques of hosting and publishing web content and setting up email are a couple decades old hat to me. Email marketing isn't especially interesting anymore either. The concepts for the business are interesting. The insights into the customers for the final concept are even more interesting. The small amount of money made on the initial experiment proves no angel investors were bled dry to start it rolling, but leading with that just didn't do it any favors with me.

It's not a "loophole", which implies an unitended gap in the law; the entire intent of the DMCA safe harbor, which was a centerpiece of a debate about the law itself, is to protect online content hosts from liability for copyright violations resulting from digital distribution of user-submitted content in cases like this, so long as they abide by a specified takedown process.

Addendum: I googled "Mitsein" and this is brilliant. What I want is a self-erasing Twitter-like that knows this:

"The term "Being-with" refers to an ontological characteristic of the human being, that it is always already[8] with others of its kind. This assertion is to be understood not as a factual statement about an individual, that he or she is at the moment in spatial proximity to one or more other individuals. Rather it is a statement about the being of every human, that in the structures of its being-in-the-world one finds an implicit reference to other humans. We all live with others, and in fact we could not live without them. Humans have been called (by others, not by Heidegger) "ultrasocial"[9] and "obligatorily gregarious."[10] Without others of our kind we could not survive. Heidegger, from his phenomenological perspective, calls this feature of human life "Being-with" (Mitsein), and says it is essential to being human.[11] We are inauthentic when we fail to recognize how much and in what ways how we think of ourselves and how we habitually behave is influenced by our social surroundings. We are authentic when we pay attention to that influence and decide for ourselves whether to go along with it or not. Living entirely without such influence, however, is not an option."

Between actually doing their jobs, helping patients and arguing with drug companies and/or doctors, I'd be astonished if the average time/patient for a pharmacist was a few short minutes. My guess is that has a very long tailed distribution.
Everyone in a society has an obligation to that society. America seems to be forgetting this. A business doesn't change the obligations of the individuals so put the individuals in prison if needed. Did someone sign off on dumping toxic waste or robbing people's savings? Would have been illegal if a person did it without getting a paycheck? Why does a paycheck change anything? Let them answer for their actions.

Ask HN: Is It Possible for Non-Profit Single Payer Health Insurance?
LTDR; Is a single payer ran privately possible where private non-profit handles all billing/pharmacy/network management, and hospital that patient 'belongs to' gets bulk of money to divy to primary care physician and others who provide services to the patient. Completely cutting out insurance companies, sales agents, etc from the process?

I read today about Direct primary care - no insurance model, and thought it could be better...source : http://www.businessinsider.com/direct-primary-care-a-no-insurance-healthcare-model-2017-3?r=US&IR=T

I'd like insight on if the community here thinks it's possible, and if anyone wants to help get it started? Hospitals become the insurance provider and receive bulk of money. 85%.
Patients would pay on a sliding scale based on income something like 4% if < 4k/monthly income, 6% if > to start. Of that money the hospital gets 85%, the patient can choose ANY doctor in the system. The hospital will pay said Doctor a % monthly, there are no copays, hospital pays other secondary medical like OB/GYN as needed.

Prescriptions would be negotiated at bulk rates and we'd handle the pharmacy/mail order at cost plus s/h fees. If someone gets sick out of network or traveling - their host hospital pays for it.

To get an idea of the financials on this though...

University of utah for example saw 22k patients in a year. If we took an average of 200/month (meaning they earn about 5k/monthly) that would be 2,860,000 monthly insurance revenue for the hospital. We would handle all billing, so they could downsize all their 'billing' related staff which could save millions. This doesn't include health customers who don't need to visit hospital at all or at most once or twice a year for minor things like vaccines.

https://www.ahd.com/states/hospital_UT.html shows U of U hospital earning 2.9 million which seems low, not sure if that's per month or year as the page is a little vague on what that constitutes.
I'd counter with attempting to reclassify as non salary exempt. Most IT work isn't salary exempt and thus as I am perpetually "on call" I have to be paid for every second since I started working for you.

Surely, there could not be any error here. Nothing socially constructed.

Isn't it already borders nonsense that in the universe which is sustained by a couple of fundamental conservation laws there supposed to be hundreds of elementary (presumably fundamental) particles which emerge and disintegrate in time, which is not even an intrinsic property of "more real" things like photons.
Experts themselves have created the problem. People mistrust experts not because people worship ignorance and wallow in their own narcissism - which many people do, certainly - but because experts are routinely bought and sold by non-experts.

Fair enough. I was thinking in terms of those proprietary wireless mouse dongles.
People are attacking regular stores' checkout systems already. We call those people shoplifters. And our normal method of dealing with them (have a human that catches a few of them to deter the more law-abiding citizens) will work equally well in a checkout-less store.

The big new challenge is telling the difference between a shoplifter and a normal software error. But that is only relevent for the most sophisticated shoplifting ideas.
Pretty sweet if I understand that this is a front-end for the OCaml compiler! This means you could run your typed JS on OCaml's runtime instead of Node.js. Granted, the availability of npm packages will be small since most of them aren't typed by Flow but in theory you could use OCaml libraries?

"All Operating Systems Suck"
If you consider my perspective is that eBay / Amazon / et al are acting with the least amount of policing effort they can legally or financially commit, then yes, I would like to advocate that a marketplace such as eBay should attempt to verify every item it sells is not counterfeit.

I'd like to avoid being unrealistic in that I don't think a marketplace can 100% verify every item and grow to scale, but I'm also extremely annoyed at the "all or nothing" kind of false dichotomy you've presented.

I'm not trying to be insulting or glib with the following, but if you'd like to peruse several different threads in this discussion it appears Amazon has more than enough reasonable data to address an issue, but has heretofore turned a blind-yet-financially-beneficial-in-principle-eye to the situation. If a bunch of humans sitting around and spit balling can hammer down a half-dozen examples and concerns out of altruism then I think any attempts of offloading that 'check and balance' into the Amazon system is quite significant.

If they get around to it, I'd classify their pragmatic motivation as akin to "I'm sorry your feelings were hurt" moreso than "What I did hurt you and was wrong."
While that in and of itself is problematic, the real objection in the post you're replying to is the "I don't know that I want to hire someone who does creative things outside of work". That's well beyond being defensive in your contract structure.
Buying from Amazon is a lot like eBay these days. In addition to what Amazon sells you also have a bunch of stores, of questionable origin, that are selling counterfeit and intentionally misrepresented products. I'm not sure what it adds to their bottom line, but it's destroying their reputation.
I'll throw this in too. If you drive an older vechicle don't enter Tiburon after nightfall. They will pull you over for no reason.

The camera was installed because Tiburon had some weird murders. There all involved wealthy residents. In each case the their was no theft. In each case, it appeared the deceased appeared to know the killer.

I understand the frustration of the little police force. I don't understand harassing poor people.

On a side note, the camera was installed before it was routine to have videos on your home. Since their are so many cameras throughout the city now, and on all those million dollar plus homes; take the town's camera down.
The subsidized ride thing is pretty crazy too. Uber offered me the ability to pay them a fee, then get a number of flat rate rides. I got a ten pack, used it to go across my city (a 25 dollar ride normally, even with pool) for 2 bucks. I think they lost a grand total of 200 bucks on me alone, and I haven't touched the app since then. Switched back to Lyft when they offered a saner version of the same thing.

The charges at all of them are effectively too much to not be a severe burden on folks who are too down to afford a bank account.

Can brains grown in a dish think?
I'd be interested to have more detail than the tweet to understand the specifics.

If they are saying Amazon is producing and selling these themselves, then that's a big deal. If they got a shipment of them that are counterfeit and are selling those, then it's a slightly less big deal IMHO, but still a serious problem.
When the demo was released, people had a lot of questions about how the cameras would deal with occlusions and products being covered up by bodies and odd angles. Recognizing and localizing and tracking a single person picking up individual items slowly is a much easier task than tracking many people in a crowd crisscrossing and blocking the camera constantly; that it is apparently failing in exactly the scaled up realistic scenarios where you would predict increased failures points to it being a genuine difficulty and not simply too few crowded scenes in the training set.

(I bet their deep learning team is having a lot of fun trying to figure out how to make RNNs rather than CNNs scale and train well...)
That is honestly embarrassing. I'm glad I don't use LastPass.
This reminds me of another wood rack.

When we first setup the college's server room, we really couldn't afford proper server racks. The carpentry program decided they weren't really that tough to build. They took all the measurements and specs for size and where the holes had to be and went off and said they would get the job done.

So, I showed up to install the new servers and gazed upon beautiful oak server racks.

It was quite functional, but did bring up and issue that LackRack owners might take into consideration: "don't forget to do proper grounding". Fortunately, the school's electrician knew his business and did his part.

I do admit it looked better and was easier to use than the current dull, commercially bought one in the building we later moved to. After all these years, I sometimes miss the old one, but I would have probably gone steampunk on it and that can be bad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFCuE5rHbPA

I'd say that skill set is useful for the 10% of jobs where programmers are pretty close to being their own managers.

Really it is better if "product owners" (or whatever) could actually do their job and talk to clients to distil out requirements that are clear and achievable. After that, the kind of programmer right for the job depends on, well, the job.

Also I think that popular media accounts of some ridiculous-sounding research that got funding tends to get extrapolated (by at least some folks) to a characterization all taxpayer-funded research. One example I remember hearing about a few years ago was a study of how cocaine affects the sexual behavior of Japanese Quail. A lot of people hear about that sort of thing and question why their money is being spent on such useless-sounding research.

And I imagine a fair number of people who are just working to get by don't see much point in the study of escoteric particle physics either. Never going to affect their lives.
