>Screwing insurance companies means increased costs for everyone. I'd really rather not pay 20% higher premiums every year to pad someone like Shkreli's pocketbook.\

- Medical malpractice insurance cost (to cover punitive damages)

- FDA approval process

all increase cost for everyone, who is 'found guilty' for that?

And what do you see public institutions of educations, from public schools to taxpayer funded universities do about that in their educational curriculum? How are children and students taught to analyze the causes of 'increasing costs'?

And what are the journalists, those 'beacons of truth' are doing in that regard? Is the coverage of those legimate reasons for higher cost getting anywhere similar of attention compared to Shkreli's?

(btw, not defending Shrkeli's actions ... have not studied this in detail, just surprised at this onesided moral outrage)

while your opinion may be correct, note that this is in the context of a discussion about a valuation bubble. even if tech has taken us into a new world, stock prices are still rooted in the expectation of future profits. if you think the valuations are supported, you need to explain why this new reality is going to be more _profitable_ than the old reality.

> Stars are best regarded as living organisms, but organisms which are physiologically and psychologically of a very peculiar kind. The outer and middle layers of a mature star apparently consist of “tissues” woven of currents of incandescent gases. These gaseous tissues live and maintain the stellar consciousness by intercepting part of the immense flood of energy that wells from the congested and furiously active interior of the star. The innermost of the vital layers must be a kind of digestive apparatus which transmutes the crude radiation into forms required for the maintenance of the star’s life. Outside this digestive area lies some sort of coordinating layer, which may be thought of as the star’s brain. The outermost layers, including the corona, respond to the excessively faint stimuli of the star’s cosmical environment, to light from neighboring stars, to cosmic rays, to the impact of meteors, to tidal stresses caused by the gravitational influence of planets or of other stars. These influences could not, of course, produce any clear impression but for a strange tissue of gaseous sense organs, which discriminate between them in respect of quality and direction, and transmit information to the correlating “brain” layer.

If I'd have wanted to satirise the worst elements of the "gig economy" and SV founders' wilful exploitation of grey areas in laws, I'd probably have bought the domain name Airmule and set up a Smuggling As A Service marketplace. Of course, to make it a bit more obviously a Very Bad Idea and not just a neat little hack I'd focus my "areas of operation" on a country which executes drug smugglers and gives no preferential treatment whatsoever to naive Western backpackers whose parents and embassies can get them good lawyers.

I'm still hoping they're not actually in operation and this is just a PR stunt to promote their actual business of selling Chinese Visa arrangement services (also on the website), but I'm not holding out too much hope.

I wouldn't call this fear. It is more of an insecurity. You seem to lack confidence in yourself. Hence you think that others will gain more from you than you gaining from your hard work.

Think of this as knowledge. The more you share, the better you become yourself. Same with doing x. The more you do, the better you get at it even if it helps others. In fact, if it helps others, even better for you. Most people are not looking to "gain" anything from you or take advantage of you.

Also look at the alternative. If you never do anything because you think someone else will benefit more, you will never do anything for yourself. You are the loser at the end because that imaginary person who MAY benefit more probably does not even exist. I would say most likely they don't exist.

"Canada has an independent organization draw its districts, which means there is effectively no gerrymandering."

That just transfers the gerrymandering power from elected officials (who can be thrown out if they annoy the voters enough) to whoever gets appointed to an unelected "independent organization" (which can't be thrown out by the voters).

In practice, this "independent organization" is appointed by the Canadian parliament (i.e., by the political parties), so it is "independent" in name only.

To expand a bit, the very notion of an "independent organization" seems questionable. Who will make up this organization?

Career civil servants? They will be biased toward whichever party proposes to spend more money on civil servants.

Appointees by whichever party controls parliament (as appears to be the case in Canada)? The problem there should be obvious.

Proportional appointment on the basis of election results? Biased toward the major parties at the expense of minority parties.

And so on.

Puerto Rico would need to petition to become a state. (I believe it meets the criteria for becoming a state, but haven't verified that.) There are benefits to remaining a territory, in particular they can create tax inventives that would be precluded if they wete a state.
It's hard to say because it's not a yes/no question, and the most useful answer is going to be very context/state dependent.

A zoo isn't a collection of animals - it's a social, financial, and cultural structure with associated buildings, signage, web site, and staff, that usually houses animals.

If you lose the animals temporarily, you can keep the rest and still have a zoo. (This has actually happened during wartime evacuations.)

If you lose everything, you have a former zoo.

I'm not sure what you are talking about, but I'm talking about building enterprise class software in-house as opposed to buying generic software off the shelf. This is the software the business uses to run operations. If you organization has resolved to buying it's operations software off the shelf, like Oracle EBS, it's already admitted it can't develop software.

I'm getting the feeling we are talking about different things. All of those things you listed are bug tracking / management software. I'm talking operational software that runs the business. It's all custom and fits like a glove if the business is competent.
Yes, at the cost of even more complexity. The problem with this idea is insane complexity.

One of 3 elevators in the office building is out of operation every two weeks. ThyssenKrupp comes and repairs it every now and then. They are simple elevators. The reliability I can imagine from my experience with TK elevators I think the floors will be a better option.

Once I was working for a TK company, and the TK elevator broke down. It was not repaired by the sibling company for a whole month because of some component shortage... That was a simple elevator in a 5 storey building.

So customers don't modify the database directly. However we do have custom changes for certain customers - those all go into the data dictionary.

The tool is very careful not to drop any columns or do any destructive alterations without manual intervention.

The other problem we have is our platform supports multiple applications and not all customers use all applications.

For example, one customer may only be interested in Room Booking and Visitor Management.

Another would be interested in Room Booking, Work Requests and Asset Management.

Some customers may have a custom version of the Work Requests system with slightly different database structures. That further complicates the situation.

The infrastructure we have in place is far from perfect, but so far has neatly done the job for us.

Thanks for your feedback!

Where do you think different perspectives come from?

As a hypothetical example, if you're designing a chair someone very large or small may have a different perspective than someone of average size.

So the causality in that case is different body results in different lived experience results in different perspective.

This isn't to say you can't learn these things in other ways (such as doing user studies, or previous experience) but it's not as easy to notice what you weren't paying attention to.

Another example might be targeting the Chinese market without being from China. It's not the only way, but think about the amount of travel and study required to get a similar perspective.

Meanwhile you have lots of people who already have the knowledge you're looking for.

Ask HN: What do people communicate most?
Software is mostly a communication tool. We use apps to communicate what we want from the world.

Lately, we've been shifting from single-purpose apps that can order pizza or hail cabs to general-purpose AI, digital assistants and messaging bots.

Naturally, we want these systems to be as useful as possible. This means that they should properly support the most common requests. That is, what people communicate the most.

I'm looking for information regarding sentence usage, app usage, digital assistant features, etc.

Ultimately, I'd like to work with a list of test cases such as:

- I want to get to [location].

- I want to be reminded of [thing] at [time].

- I want to send [amount of money] to [person].

- I want to be friend with [person].

- I want to apply for [job].

- I want to read [book].

- I want to own [product].

- I want to eat [food].

- I want to buy [x] shares of [stock].

- I want to sell my [thing].

- I want [lightbulb] to be on.

- I will be late to [event].

- I weight [weight].

- I ate [food].

- I watched [movie].

- I am at [location].

- I feel [emotion] about [thing].

- The price of [thing] at [location] is [price].

- The temperature at [location] is [temperature].

- The [road] is blocked.

- This [location] is open from [time] to [time].

I believe that having such a list would make it easier to design, test and compare these systems. Here's a few related projects:

- Constructed languages: Conlangs Syntax Test Cases

- Programming languages: Rosetta Code

- JavaScript frameworks: TodoMVC

- Mobile UI frameworks: PropertyCross

There are, or were, 4 forks of AmigaOS around. From memory, here is the breakdown…

* AmigaOS 3.5-3.9. By Haage & Partners. Proprietary. Runs on original 680x0 hardware. Based off the original binaries, with many added components and some bug-fixes & updates.

* Amiga OS 4.x. By Hyperion, originally licensed by Amiga Inc. Proprietary. Based on officially-licensed original sources, rewritten for PowerPC. Runs on some recent licensed PowerPC-based Amigas & some PowerPC accelerators for original machines.

* MorphOS. Proprietary. a 3rd-party recreation, sponsored by Genesi, natively for PowerPC, with rumours of an ARM port. No original sources used. API-compatible with AmigaOS 3.1. Runs on unlicensed, non-official more recent PowerPC machines. Rumours of developers not being paid. No development in a while.

* AROS. FOSS. Runs on x86, with ARM, PowerPC and 680x0 ports available.

All are API compatible with Commodore AmigaOS 3.1. AFAIK, all include emulator(s) so they can run original binaries.

Nothing is very compatible with 3.5-3.9 as they were 3rd party extensions.

None of the successors are very compatible with each other.

AmigaOS 4 and AROS are experimenting with multiple-core support.

Personally, I don't see a lot of future for any of them. The original AmigaOS was something of a triumph, but it achieved its small size and good performance because it targetted the 680000 -- yes, it does full pre-emptive multitasking, but there's no inter-process memory protection, no virtual memory, and poor hygiene between OS and apps or between different apps, making it hard to adapt to more modern hardware. AIUI the communication mechanism between the kernel and apps uses shared memory, meaning that even Commodore itself was unable to enhance it to use the MMU of later 68030-based Amigas, because that would have broken backwards-compatibility.

If anyone fixes that, that will make it less Amiga-like and less compatibile with the old OSes.

I have the demo version of MorphOS running on an Apple Mac mini G4. It works fine and it's fairly quick (until the demo version times out after 20min and slows down.) But there's no Wifi or Bluetooth support.

It looks and feels like, well, a fast Amiga 1200 (the only original hardware I own.) In other words, very retro and a bit clunky. The Mac mini is a machine built to run Mac OS X 10.3 or 10.4, glossy modern 21st century OSes with transparency, scaling, versatile networking and filesystem support, and some high-profile commercial apps. MorphOS feels like a 1980s OS with some bells and whistles glued on.

AROS probably has the brightest outlook and I can see a niche for it as a low-resource graphical OS for low-end ARM machines such as the Raspberry Pi. But the capabilities of such machines are improving fast - the RasPi 3 has 4 x 1-GHz cores, a capable GPU (which need restrictively- proprietary drivers), a gig of RAM, Wifi and Bluetooth. AROS runs under Linux -- the native port isn't finished -- supports 1 core and no wireless. It hasn't caught up with the hardware as the hardware evolves to leave it behind, becoming more capable of doing justice to a modern graphical Linux desktop.
> Every three days Nathan (not his real name), a 27-year-old venture capitalist in San Francisco, ingests 15 micrograms of lysergic acid diethylamide (commonly known as LSD or acid).

> Nathan first started microdosing in 2014, when he was working for a startup in Silicon Valley. He would cut up a tab of LSD into small slices and place one of these on his tongue each time he dropped.

How does he know?

How does he know it's actually LSD, or only LSD?

How does he know how much is in a tab?

How does he know whether it's evenly distributed across the tab, and that one microdose is actually 15 micrograms of LSD?

This claim seems backwards. If you tried to determine the value of real estate from an arbitrary metric, then sure, people would game it.

Good thing CPython is the spec for the language.
