> What if animal fats are too heavy for your personal digestive system

You could get vegetable fats from avocados, olive oil, etc. Fats are essential to life.

> and you aren't obsessed with your BMI?

It's a myth that eating fats will increase your BMI. It's eating too many calories that causes that.
Also Guix and GuixSD, which is what I help develop.
No, I meant that VS Code, (which is similar to Atom in both features, technology used and price), is (much) faster than Atom, (Electron vs Electron), it is obviously not faster than Sublime, (Electron vs Native).

I understood the OP's question as what is similar to Atom, but faster, is it VS Code?
For the regional one I go to (That Conference), its about an hour each way. $10 in gas/day or so? Since its close enough for a long commute, I don't have to worry about a hotel (or plane tickets).

Since the conference isn't trying to pull in big bucks (its a break even - 501.C non profit even), attendee costs for 2017 are $425 (food included - and they don't skimp on food). Even if you're going to add on the hotel the conference is located in, its only $175. Toss in a plane ticket and it is probably still less expensive than the national ones for the "get in the door" ticket.

There are lots of regional or local conferences that are not absurd in pricing.

For another example of an upcoming local one: https://stirtrek.com which is a one day $99 one. Its draw is likewise local.

Yea, NoFluff is $1000 to walk in the door for two days. I'm very glad that there are others that are closer in line with not needing to drain the training budget to go to.
what do you think of the starbucks instant stuff? (personally I think it's as bad as starbucks but not much worse)
Thanks for the comment! I hear ya. We're considering retail as an option in the future. Right now the subscription simply is the business model that makes sense for us - our current margins are too slim for retailers.

Like other people, I'm not precisely the target market. I brew my own pourover with beans I get from my local roaster (hooray Andytown!) and admit that part of my love of the whole thing is for the ritual of grinding, weighing and so on.

That said, I appreciate good-tasting coffee, enjoy trying new things, and am intrigued. I could see uses for this, and it would make an interesting gift. I'm way more likely to buy a one-off than subscribe. I understand wanting to have consistent month-over-month predictions, but there we are.

Ask HN: Do I need to incorporate?
In order to validate my startup idea, I want to see if people are willing to pay for the product/service (thus, I want to accept payments). At this stage, does it make sense to incorporate? Or rather, do I need to incorporate?

I've read some blogs/articles about why and when one should incorporate, and while all that makes sense, my question is based on the aspect of accepting revenue (albeit limited) alone.
Of note in that filing is that Impossible Foods later requested that the FDA not review that PDF linked to above and the FDA agreed to stop reviewing it:

McDonalds is selling 1/10th not 1/4 lb burgers for 1$. So that's 2.5$ vs 11$. Also, ground beef is fairly cheap ~4$/lb, bacon is $6 per pound and Filet Mignon is 23$/lb. Still, even if they only sell it as flavor enhancer to the ethical vegetarian market that's still enough to scale and presumably drop the price over time.
> by standardizing everything but (in essence) the authenticated key derivation step

Is there another interpretation of 'everything' in this context? You're making EME far more comprehensive than it is. CDMs do way more than derive a key, so your statement is false on its face.
PNaCl, IIRC, doesn't expose web APIs, but requires message-passing to and from associated JS for that.
Biggest in the sense of sales, size of the game or development budget? GOG don't really publish their sales numbers, and budgets are often relatively private too, unless it's a crowdfunded project. But I'd guess it's probably The Witcher 3 which is quite a big game in many senses.

From the recently released, Shadow Warrior 2 is also pretty big. I wouldn't call the above mentioned TToN a small game either.
Yeah, 1080p is reserved for those only. You can get pretty good quality in other browsers as well (mostly for Netflix original content, though, like I described before).

I'd be interested to see how this compares to 1) mmapping both files and using memcpy, 2) mmaping the source and making a single call to write passing the whole buffer, and 3) copy_file_range.
It's easy to criticize Medium, and I wish they started with direct monetization earlier or went 100% native ads. Now Medium has somewhat limited choice. Reason is because it's not a publisher, it's a platform for different types of publishers.

Site-wide paywall won't work, since majority of writers do not want to limit access to their content and publish to get eyeballs. Metered access might solve that problem but a lot of testing is needed to figure out right amount of access limiting, so casual readers would never see a wall.

Premium section might work but big question is how to split revenue among writers and how to select writers. Share based on recommend count? Perhaps. How much would Medium have after payouts?

Premium feature(s) would work but what.

Giving existing, relatively big, publishers a monetization tool to create and manage subscriptions. Big question here is again, how much Medium would make after payouts?

Premium section seems like a lot of work but could work.
Attracting big publishers and giving them great CMS and great way to monetize might work as well but it is a very different path.

+1 for this. The amount of waste in the current model is unfortunately a non-starter for me or my girlfriend.
i think if you want to change your eating behaviour, you also have to change your habits. It just doesn't work otherwise. But you can't change all habits. There is a pub with cheap burgers and cheap bear near my university and not going there isn't really an option. Of course that means the smell is there and my friends are eating unhealthy, juicy burgers, but on the other side i enjoy drinking beer and talking to friends.
From a purely consumerist standpoint, by far the biggest problem with DRM used to be how it was falsely advertised as selling copies, when it was in fact just temporary access that could end any day, even tomorrow (company/server shutdown, hardware token malfunction/loss, general incompatibility with new stuff). Now that "buying" has mostly been replaced by streaming subscriptions, this problem has disappeared: it is perfectly obvious to even the most naive user that access to the content will be gone if they cancel Netflix (or if Netflix disappears) and as a bonus, it has become just as obvious that the streaming provider knows what you stream, open, "natural" surveillance instead of hidden, deliberate. Now it is more like the cashier knows what you buy at the supermarket (how else could they do their job?), whereas before it was a bit like the loyalty card backend knows (ignoring the massive difference in centralisation between cashier and loyalty card).
“In Doers We Trust” states, “The campaign positions Fiverr to seize today’s emerging zeitgeist of entrepreneurial flexibility, rapid experimentation, and doing more with less. It pushes against bureaucratic overthinking, analysis-paralysis, and excessive whiteboarding.”

> That is a result of schools being funded by property taxes and levies. Our current system allows this to happen and switching to a system where the school is paid per student reduces the problem.

Not exclusively. People want to live close to good schools so people who can afford to live close to one do. Performance is related very closely to the socioeconomics of the area. In Chicago and New York, schools in poor neighborhoods under perform, despite receiving the same funding. Anecdotally I see the same here. Of course, this is the argument for vouchers; get kids out of schools that under perform, but the cost of doing so can be onerous, not just in money, but in time. Getting a kid from a poor neighborhood to a better school is costly and difficult. I actually think open enrollment is a better answer for this, because the public can pick up the transportation costs (as much as the current implementation of that chagrins me). And of course you have the problem of admission and extra programs that are funded by backers, not the public, which could complicate the process a great deal. (for the record, taking sports out of schools is something I support regardless).

> Public schools spend a lot of money outside the classroom on admin which most private schools don't find necessary.

I don't know that there's much more than anecdotal evidence for this. In my experience (which I fully knowledge is anecdotal) most administrative expenses in the public sector surround the need to be accountable to the public. This creates cumbersome red tape like complicated purchasing policies, regulation, auditors and so on. My observations of the school system here leads to much the same conclusion. Part of the admin overhead is their requirement to meet certain standards and provide certain required services. If private schools were to start taking public money, I believe administrative overhead would follow closely.

The thing is, I'm not categorically opposed to vouchers. I think that there is a place for parents to argue that their kids are not being served by the public school system. But I cannot see how a blanket voucher program can avoid the same pitfalls public schools currently have. As someone said upthread, a critical part of the free market is the ability to fail, and the last thing we can have happen to a school is to have it fail. To avoid that we would regulate private schools to the point they are a public utility, technically private, but really indistinguishable from what we once had.
So after the last blog post by The Author which mainly showed The Author's lack of understanding, we have another article from The Author highlighting that he does indeed not understand things he writes blog posts about (incorrect rationale and assumptions about 128 KiB block size being optimal, no readahead on virtual device files, and of course not mentioning any of the FD splicing alternatives in a post titled "Efficient ..." or any of the approaches involving memory mappings and explicit prefetching on said mappings).

I don't want to be overly extremely dismissive or arrogant here, but this post pretty much boils down to "128 KiB is optimal because that number appears somewhere else, too, and that other spot even has somehow something to do with I/O".

That makes sense. If you offered a batch where I could just buy a bunch and it stays good for a long while then I would definitely buy some in that model. That way I can simply stock some away and pull it out for trips or when I don't feel like making it / in a hurry etc.

If you want to hit the backpacker market get some freebies out to blogs like Andrew Skurka, Section Hiker, Adventure Alan, Gear Junkie, etc. I don't know that the market is big enough to target, but I suspect with how profitable REI is there may be something to it.
I totally get that we have a high barrier of entry. We tried lowering it last year when we offered one-off purchases. However, that just doesn't work with our current user acquisition model. Even if we get a lower number of subscribers their LTV is much, much higher.
Netflix already have a Native Windows app. I don't know if it's still the case, but it was the only way to get 5.1 audio on PC.

The app and Edge are the only two PC 4k viewing options. And both require a Kaby Lake CPU.

OK, I'll try it. I've been interested in an instant/easy cup of coffee for a long time and yet to find anything worthwhile.

From a tech standpoint the order process is a bit lacking and confusing. I'm prompted to create an account after ordering, but then emailed an activation for an account that was automatically created.

I'm unsure if my month starts now, and I can expect a shipment soon, or if I have to wait till 4/22, which is what your site says my next shipment will process.

You linked to a 'super secret' area (https://www.suddencoffee.com/?trial=true) where it says your trial will convert to an eight cup subscription for $24/month, but I signed up on the normal page for $22/month.

I'm looking forward to trying the coffee, as well as having a more intuitive and less confusing site to manage my subscription. How is that for a coffee/tech snob? :D
I'd pay to not have to spend any time deciding if an article is an actual good article or if it is just clickbait.

I read way less than I could because I don't want to spend precious minutes every day sifting through random articles. There's way less opportunity cost compared to Hacker News or even Reddit where I can get quality reading for not a lot of effort.

this is especially true on netflix & co
I was under the impression that there must have been some additional signaling to make interlacing happen. If for no other reason than the display would need to know which frame was the upper scanline and which was the lower.

Apart from the fact that they would have advertised the increased resolution (albeit flickery). On the Amiga, which did do interlaced modes. you could tell on a screen showing a single colour whether it was interlaced or not.
Coding since 1985 and still loving it. I consult now so I mostly work out of my own office. The key to my happiness has been working for small/tiny companies where software was super important. I got to wear a lot of hats that way.
There is definitely some SV bubble around this. I can buy a local cafe pour over cup for less than this product.

I can buy my own beans and heat the kettle and pour that over in less than 5 minutes.

If I'm desperate and in hurry then I can make a cup of Keurig for a fraction of the cost.
Unfortunately, the cost for DRM is also zero for the content providers, as long as they are not distributors themselves.
Have you considered, "How many roads must a man walk down?"?

Seriously, though, it's not unthinkable to me that the simulation argument is right, and that one of the reasons why simulations might be created is to explore questions that the parent civilization is curious about and needs minds of a certain character or experiential background to examine.

We're basically doing that right now, after all, with things like AlphaGo being created to 'understand' the game of Go at a level we don't. At some point, the quotes around 'understand' will not be apt, and AlphaGo++ will be able to put its understanding into terms that will be useful to us.
Thank you so much for the feedback!
Even though I own pretty much every coffee brewing device I use Sudden at home every morning. It's just so much easier. It's never going to be better than a really well brewed coffee but it's just sooo easy and still really solid.
I'd flip things around. What if the idea is a flop and you spend ~1k talking to a lawyer, setting up all these accounts, and spending a month of effort on this work. Are you okay with that? Like, if you are okay with only getting $15 bucks for this then do it. But, I'd probably wager not, if you don't have some sense the idea is going to take off. On the other side, what if there is demand and then you cannot accept revenue ASAP. I've had that, and it really sucks, you need to pretty much drop everything and implement a cash register, and this takes time (set up company, get bank account, get stripe working, figure out pricing, plans, etc). So, I guess it really depends on if you think there will be demand, it's probably worth spending the time and money to get it done. This is a gamble though. Sorry, there isn't really a one size fits all here, it is highly dependant on your confidence that this will work. If you think it will, then invest the time.

You haven't really said if this is an on-line product or something you can go out and ask people about. Patio11 had a pretty good comment (cannot find it now) about mocking things up on an iPad and then going and asking people. Like have screenshots, flip through it with them, and ask if they would pay for something like that. It sounds like you are firmly in this area of wanting to know if it's a good idea people will pay something for. So, you probably don't want to create a company yet. Again, just guessing here. Providing more info will greatly help in giving advice.

Yup. In theory making good instant coffee is a pretty simple idea but I can tell you that if I knew what I know about the process I'm not sure I'd start this business all over again.
Yes. The amount of time & money spent on special education programs is _incredible_. Private schools just don't tailor to this student population, and that's a _huge_ reason why private schools, on paper, look better.

My wife is an SLP (i.e. "speech teacher", but more recently in management) and has dealt with several cases where very well-off families keep their children in public school so the state picks up the cost of special programs, even for simple stuff like articulation. In some states/counties, some students are entitled to government-funded therapy even if the kid goes to private school during the day!

Given everything we know about how _little_ teaching methodology matters to overall, aggregate outcomes--that what matters most, by far, are the home environment and the peer environment--I don't even see the debate about vouchers as remotely legitimate. From a 10,000 foot view, public education has the maximal benefit with minimal _actual_ burdens on other students. Rich kids will tend to go to rich public schools, and that's all that really matters. Poor kids will go to poor schools because poor parents rarely care, nor have the time or wherewithal to care, about those issues. But at least public schools will meet a baseline. Those parents that do care usually are able to make busing arrangements. Basically, all the corner cases can be adequately handled with smaller programs. There's no need to upset the existing structure of public school education.

Only bad things can happen. The history of education is littered with foolish ideas. The only obvious good idea was to institute public education in the first place. Beyond that, there are no easy solutions to improving educational outcomes. It's largely a cultural issue, and you can't legislate culture, nor can you throw money at it.

You're right, he didn't explain why it happens. But like I said, he explained "a couple interesting things", showing readers that these interesting patterns exist. To people outside of mathematics like me, it's cool just that these patterns and phenomena are present, even if we don't grasp the math behind why.

That being said, an easy-to-understand explanation of why it happens (to the extent that is possible), like in some of the other comments, would be super interesting as well.
