Alternatively, I am willing to pay a very small amount in absolute terms for the convenience of not ordering 500 breadboards :).

Bulk ordering has always been an accepted way to pay less in unit costs, but it helps move the risk from the manufacturer/wholesaler to the buyer. If you want to take the inventory risk, then you charge the customers for doing so, and the wholesaler cuts you a deal for reducing their risk in a concomitant way.

It's easy to understand - the rich continue to get richer because that's how politicians stay in power. As a father of a chronically-ill 5 year old I can't tell you how frustrating it is. Should I change jobs? Depends on the healthcare plans they offer. What do I do if I lose my job? COBRA adds insult to injury.

How will he take care of himself when he gets out of college (assuming he goes of course)? Will it consume half of his paycheck?

Through me, my son will have citizenship in France...maybe it's time to teach him French and consider steering him to moving to France when he's done with school.

We need to shift the conversation away from single-payer, insurance, etc and focus on either: universal healthcare or strict price controls. Until these options are shoved down the throats of our politicians, they're going to keep distracting us with b.s. 'solutions' like the ACA, its "replacement", etc.

Prior to the Supreme Court decision some employers (including my own) extended health insurance benefits to same sex domestic partnerships (but it was not required) but did not extend them to different sex partnerships. Since that decision my employer has ceased providing benefits for partnerships at all regardless of genders.

There's reasons folks would do this over a marriage including, like a friend of mine, simply not believing that marriage should be a thing the government should be involved in.

Too bad it's not the first secure smart-contract platform; that honor probably goes to the folks who developed Joule, E, etc. in the mid-90s. Szabo and his contemporaries were steeped in capability theory, but Ethereum glossed over all of that in favor of hype and cash.

"Crony" is so often followed by "capitalism", but it's really just cronyism that's the issue. You can find it in capitalism and you can find it in government. But they go best hand-in-hand. I'd argue that most crony capitalism is made possible only because they can leverage the monopolistic power of their crony allies in government for mutual gain.
Risk tolerance is neither a useful proxy/predictor for entrepreneurial activity or entrepreneurial success [0,1]. Instead, it is more appropriate to say that entrepreneurs have a higher tolerance for ambiguity [2]. The most current/best research on entrepreneurial ways of thinking suggests that successful entrepreneurs tend to look for systematic exploits that exist within current market conceptions by assessing the ambiguity in markets and products [3]. Within a pure conception of risk, risk is not the right term but rather uncertainty/ambiguity. However, it is very easy for that uncertainty to look very risky when existing models of risk are employed. That is how the competitive advantage is created...finding a new business model/prouct to address market uncertainty that is low risk by relying on a different conceptualization of the underlying risk model and its assumptions. This is why entrepreneurship so often results in creative destruction of existing solutions and markets...because the new risk model is more efficient and/or lower risk and it had yet to be pursued because existing models (for whatever reason...e.g., technological progress) made the new model look extremely risky.

Although privileges granted by the State to "crony capitalists" excarberates issues, I do not consider it the root of issues, and to me, capitalism would have the same issues even without a government, or with minimal government. I think we're fixing the wrong part of the bottleneck by arguing for a completely free market.
What I learned from working at Uber
Does it seem to anyone else that the finance industry is increasingly distracted from actually matching up capital to fundamentally productive companies, especially new companies?

Looking at the stock market, there are few IPOs, and after IPO, being public only provides access to limited access vis issuance of new stock...

Some capital flows to VCs, but it seems the more capital flows to large VC funds, the more the criteria becomes look for a sure thing and filter more for large scale opportunities - all while small scale fundamental development receives poor access to the vast amount of capital sloshing around (and settling in places like unused real estate...).

To me it seems that investment in direct development of productive tech and/or process is competing against profitability of short term financial manipulation - and causing a drop in overall delivery of new productivity improvements to the general economy. But even further, the very financial industry isn't really creating or maintaining a channel for money to open opportunities to develop that kind of company - certainly not a large scale needed or possible today.

While your point is well made...it assumes that the objective function in these decisions is entrepreneurship. It isn't, in fact it is almost the opposite. Because of the way our elections work the objective function is entirely focused on increased/optimizing ROI for existing businesses that contribute to campaigns.
Medicaid and Medicare are heavily subsidized in practice by private insurance covered patients.

Hospitals that have too high of a proportion of Medicare patients get a bonus subsidy from the government to cover up the fact that the coverage alone can't financially sustain the provider.

If we implemented single-payer in the form of Medicare as it is now, the healthcare industry would quickly collapse.

Or start by doing enough of the stuff Excel can't do easily or at all and then grow into what you've described. For example:
* Plot 3d (x,y,z) and 4d (x,y,z,time) graphs
* Hook into data streams
* Multi-user editing
* JSON-like data structures beyond 2d row-column data structures
* Improved output formatting
Isn't that a case of "get everyone hooked then raise the prices"? How much is pricing currently subsidized by VC and early access promotions (like GCP, AWS, Uber) which will go away over the next ~10 years.
This is all such bullshit. Single payer has problems, but it works well and is a whole lot cheaper in terms of % of GDP as implemented in places like Italy. Also in Italy you have a decent, parallel private system where you can simply call up and ask how much basic stuff is. I once got some chest X-rays and a consultation with an ear-nose-throat doctor for 150 Euros out of pocket (oh, and I got to do both the day after I called). They apologized because it was so expensive. I barely kept a straight face.
Me too, but there are services for ordering off of Taobao in Western nations which will collect your orders somewhere on the mainland, send you pictures of each item and allow you to return things that don't match, and then package them into a single shipment. You pay a ~10% commission and a bit more on shipping, but it still comes out to much much less money, if you're okay with waiting a week or two.
Health cost sharing cooperatives are a tenth of the cost, are cash based, and skip all the insurance requirements. They require you take a more proactive role in your care. If you struggle with the cost of healthcare, take a close look. Ex., https://www.libertyhealthshare.org/

I was in the US and want to immigrate to Canada because of US broken H1B immigration system ( for me it will take 9 years to get a greencard). Here is what I did -

The immigration website of Saskatchewan province opens up randomly to apply for immigration. I missed it many times because there is no indication other than the "Apply" button being enabled and a small text in their homepage which says "Applications are now 'open' ". They will close the application intake when they have reached X number of applicants. So timing is very important.

So I hacked up a script which diffs their home page every 10 minutes for "open" regex. When there is an "open" keyword in the diff, the python script calls twilio API to make a phone call to me along with an SMS.

So this script was running in AWS for many weeks and one day I got the call. Logged in to Saskatchewan's immigration homepage and applied. Now I am in Canada as a permanent resident. Thanks to Twilio.

edit: add H1B to make clear which type of immigration is broken IMO.
Just to meta-riff on this a little bit... The issue here is that the mechanisms we have for price signaling are too crude to easily account for the things you're alluding too (i.e. an unconscious patient needing urgent medical treatment can't really negotiate; fluffy concepts like quality of life or the lifetime cost to manage an illness are hard to quantify monetarily, etc.) Yet in the U.S. we still try to use market forces jury-rigged with Medicaid, Medicare, Private Insurance, public hospitals, the Veterans Administration, etc., as a means to allocate health resources.

Note that I'm not saying that we can't eventually devise a market-like system for allocating medical resources. I do wonder if we have the technology today for building such a system though. After all, we'd ideally have very good information very quickly so that we can make decisions about where to spend. I'm just not sure we have anything close to such a thing yet, and perhaps we should stop pretending that we've got one.
I never know what to take away from these "germs are everywhere" scare stories. I've been drinking coffee on planes for years. Maybe I've been exposed to something, but I've never been sick. Maybe it's making my immune system stronger. I'll make reasonable choices but I'm not going to be paranoid or even think twice about something like coffee on an airplane.

Healthcare services and products are unsustainably expensive in the US. This is not quite true in the rest of the world. Part of this is economic and structural, and part of it is American psychological and societal problems with letting people die when they are going to die (end-of-life care is hugely expensive and we even love treatments that do not necessarily lead to increased lifespan, because we'd rather feel like we're doing something medically than actually take evidence-based steps that might include doing nothing). Part of it is that "healthcare service" in the US includes the amazing overhead charged by private insurance.

Certainly before Obamacare, private insurance companies spent about 30% on overhead (enrolling & dropping people, advertising, dealing with referrals, arguing with hospitals and doctors, auditing people, hiring lawyers to get someone else's insurance to pay for treatment). That's a lot of money and it figures into "healthcare costs" in the US.

We spend so much more than any other country on healthcare, so much more.

You are absolutely right that "the current system needs to collapse under its own weight before a new approach even stands a chance". I believe it will take people dying publicly to make the US consider a change. First we will be bamboozled by the "freedom" and "choice" we'll get with the new plan, foremost the choice not to have coverage or care at all :)

Agreed but the same could be said about VC money and unicorns like Uber, Snap Inc. etc. It will be laughable if say Uber's CEO equates bashing of Uber's tech or business model as a threat to all unicorns.

That's the point of the article. Drinking water is from bottled water. Hot beverages are from the 'tap' water, and the requirements on the tap water are not as strict as the drinking water.

I assume that this is a just alarmist journalism, since water for tea/coffee is heated to boiling, and all the taps in the bathrooms say some version of 'non-potable'.

Ask HN: Scaling a product that has product/market fit?
Hi HN!

Long-time reader, I’m asking from an throw-away to keep things unbiased.

I’ll try to be brief.

Back in January began working on a side-project with my small team. Decided to focus on product/market fit and went directly to customers. Developed real cold leads and converted them into paying subscribers on the MVP. Retention is near perfect.   Problem is, we can’t scale direct sales fast enough between the founders. At this rate it will take us 1-2 years to reach $10k/mo. Our most popular and entry-level plan is $19.99/mo

We have a really great conversion funnel on our website but we don’t know how to begin testing and marketing it. Competitors in our market are GIANTS and already dominate YT ads, Facebook, Google Ad Words etc. Would hate to wake a sleeping giant on this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: More details about the product

It's B2B. Most of our customers so far are small businesses but we're confident our product can be offered to medium/large and businesses and enterprises.
I wouldn't say a "small number" have faster broadband in the U.S. than in Europe. In the U.S., 42% of people have above 15 mbps (enough for more than one Netflix HD stream at a time). In U.S. states that are as dense as the big European countries (Maryland, Delaware, etc.) that number is 50-60%. The U.K. is at 39%, but the other big European countries are much lower: Germany (30%), France (16%), and Italy (10%).

So I think it's fair to say that the U.S. curve is more unequal. There's more people without access to adequate broadband (in New Mexico, or inner-city Baltimore) than in Europe. But the median American likely has a faster broadband connection than the median European.

When I quit my job to run a company, I was very healthy. I just couldn't buy health insurance on the open market because I had a pre-existing condition.

This was prior to ACA, so I ended up paying through the nose for COBRA.

Pre-existing conditions aren't always debilitating. They can be things that, when treated appropriately, don't impact your ability to start a company at all: diabetes, amputation, cosmetic issues like severe hair loss, sleep apnea, amputation, ect, ect.
Lawsuits aren't always rent seeking sometimes they are necessary economic activities. Economic models can be poor when they (implicitly) define redress for illegal actions as rent-seeking behaviour, and cutting a competitors cables as valid economic activity -- for example the lawsuit against Comcast that alleges driving a competitor out of business with malicious construction.
I get that this is hyperbole, but:

1. There are plenty of US Government (i.e. tax payer funded) programs to help people get "normal" ideas off the ground. From grants, to loans, the money is there. It's hard to imagine someone destined for success being stopped by not being able to raise $10k. $10k in credit card debt is nothing for the average american.

2. Success breeds success. If you're rich, you may already have your own skin in the game, or you may have proven yourself capable of using capital effectively.
> For example, the main, perhaps only reason the ACA didn't include a public option is because Joe Lieberman, Senator from a state where the health insurance industry is huge, refused to vote for a bill that included it and his vote was required for passage.

...there were 40 other senators who were not voting for the ACA. The bill didn't, and still doesn't, have enough popular support. You can't blame one play on a lost game and you can't blame one voter for a lost ballot.

Doubling down on employer provided healthcare with additional mandates didn't help their case.
