I thought one of the main benefits of riding a bike was taking the load off your hips/knees/ankles. Which this bike mostly negates. Plus it's probably pretty expensive, given it's an e-bike.

I just tried that momentum theory on the bitcoin closing data someone posted in a sibling comment.

I get 715 days of a trend continuing (down->down or up->up), and 739 days of the "trend" reversing: down->up OR up->down.

That pretty much points at a random walk. "Momentum", and any other patterns people see, are imagined.
I've noticed when a Toyota does pretty much anything, and it's in the customer's hands; it just does the job.

They learned long ago a satisfied customer is the best advertising. Yes, they still need to advertise, like all companies. The average consumer still cares about cup holders, over a reliable engine, or powertrain.

I have a weird feeling they are farther along with fully autonomous driving than they claim.

They made their reputation on reliability. They didn't come out in the 80's and say our vechicles will drive you 200,000 miles with not too many garage visits.

Let the other companies produce the first round, and take all the heat for mishaps. Then, if they haven't outlawed them, just sell the customer the vehicle that drives itself flawlessly.

They don't need money to promote their stock. They don't need to finance their research. Why claim they are close to AI driving until the product is perfect?

They could wait a few years, and decimate all competition with a superior product.
"All these stories from indie hackers are like stories from people who won the lottery."

I think it would be more of a spectrum, considering success isn't necessarily "won". It's a confluence of controllable and uncontrollable factors.

The results of which represent a spectrum of value (output) and input (factors).

Age is merely one of the factors involved in human productivity, and not necessarily the most important (the equation of coefficients affecting each factor would change over time of course).

I'm neither a heavy Facebook user nor a fan of Trump, but doesn't it make you at least a little bit nervous that a many-billion-dollar company is going to start selectively censoring (or at least hindering) communication it disagrees with?

What happened to the traditional liberal distrust of big corporations?

What about if Facebook decides discussion of privacy violations online is "fake news?"
ME isn't like VNC built into the CPU - that's AMT. AMT is restricted to higher-end Intel platforms, but ME is everywhere.
I probably did at one point know this as I did use it in college but for some reason forgot it (we are talking 15 plus years) given that is apparently how you distribute executable lisp code... IIRC though I hated image saving when it came to Squeak aka Smalltalk so I'm not sure if I did like that.

Bernie's statement was limited to people with no education past high school; Trump's wasn't.

The inaccurate thing about Bernie's statement was that he cited U6 as a measure of "unemployment" when it would more accurately be called a measure of "underemployment". It includes people who want a full-time job but can only find a part-time job even though they aren't fully unemployed.

Trump cited 100% - labor force participation rate as a measure of unemployment, which is complete nonsense because it counts people who are full-time students or who are disabled as unemployed.

In my opinion the PD has always been worthless because it is based on a series of false paradigms.

Most importantly, this scenario involves only a binary decision. In reality, there are no binary decisions. Every single possible decision involved countless contingencies to consider which are limited only by the awareness and imagination of the person making the decision. Trying to apply this false paradigm to reality is nonsense. You might as well try to discern real-world data about the number of angels that people believe will fit on the end of a pin.

>Compare this with the Prisoner’s Dilemma. For a quick synopsis, two prisoners being questioned each have the choice to either defend the other’s innocence or betray the other’s guilt.

The underlying assumption is that innocence and guilt are the only factors driving the prisoners decision. What if the prisoner's primary motivation is the rejection of coercion by his captors? Making assumptions about motivation completely nullifies any potentially valuable insights about human behavior.

There are efforts by David Mikkelson to regain control after Proper Media bought half the company from Mikkelson's ex wife and business partner.
They added it for business reasons for remote monitoring and control since enterprises like it. That's a large part of their sales. It also had consumer benefits. Related tech also helped DRM machines through Trusted Computing alliance. And they probably got defense contracts or payments for selective use by NSA or other organizations.

Lots of return on that investment. Lots of reasons unrelated to those you mention.

They've been shipping hardware with an ME for a decade, so they can't be too upset.
The article puts focus on Officers, but same is true with Enlisted Sailors. I was an Electrician who was sent out to the fleet with 1 week of electrical training. When I arrived to the fleet I did know the names of the tools I would be using, but Navy was very confident that I could be trained onboard to solve complex problems.

Luckily, I had a Chief who had gone through the old Electrical school and was a capable Electrician. I got to learn a lot from him and by the time I finished my contract I felt like I had become a good enough Electrician.

I am afraid when these guys who had proper Electrical training retire, what will happen to the fleet ? This problem is very rampant in the Navy for almost every discipline.
>If you hold for less than a year it's income

But it's the profits specifically that are taxed as income, not the whole sale value, right? If I buy and sell one Bitcoin a hundred times in a day and make $1 of profit in total, is the tax is a percentage of $1 or a percentage of 100 times the bitcoin price?
Nice improvement in the getting-started UX!

Every time this gets brought up here people scoff. Nobody seems to be willing to notice that tech companies have for quite a while now been misrepresenting the pace of innovation in areas that not-coincidentally are attempts at diversifying revenue streams by hitting new tech home runs. See also: Glass, any of the other nonsense coming out of Google X (Loon? Cyber contacts?), drone delivery, digital assistants, and so forth. Not to say cool stuff isn't happening in all these fields but we are not just a few short years away from the tech being viable.
That being said, Toyota's (and Subaru's) approach is the smart way forward - add sensors and capabilities that augment the human, but leave the human always responsible and in control. In order for a crash to happen, the human AND the machine BOTH have to miss it.

That's the approach we know won't work. That was Tesla's first-round autopilot, the self-crashing car. The one that would happily run into obstacles protruding into a lane.[1][2][3] There are two big flaws with that approach. First, if it's good enough that people can tune out, they will tune out. Second, if the driver waits until the self-driving system has clearly made a mistake before taking over, they will be slower at reacting than if they were driving, and may be too late. See especially [3].

Volvo's CEO takes the position that if one of their cars crashes in self-driving mode, it's Volvo's fault. Urmson, while at Google, pointed out the first problem coming up even with their test drivers.

A favorite saying for USMC infantry, and much truer than people realize. There is a required balance though, and the best units have officers that know how to walk that tightrope, and listen to and respect their NCO's. A great example of this would be, much fewer uniform inspections, much more combat testing. Less formations 15 mins early by BN CO + 15 mins early for company CO, +15 mins for platoon, +15 mins for squad leader... It's the type of thing that really affects morale which will in turn affects effectiveness.

I think they are pretty good at making electric skateboards. Youtube star Casey Neistat is always seen riding a boosted board. He has test driven a lot of electric boards and has told that nothing else comes close to the boosted board multiple times[1][2]. To be honest Casey Neistat appear to be a type of guy who tells what he belives in even if it means loosing subscribers. He gets a lot of hate sometimes because of that.

I don't think so. Most of other governments(especially developing nations) don't have a clue about this, or they refuse to accept such concerns, calling it conspiracy theories, as if they have some secret pact to allow US govt. surveillance of their citizens via unofficially if not officially.
This is actually what I thought the article was going to be about.
It doesn't. Its far too big of a gamble to risk throwing away your retirement. If you can't finance your start-up with cash on hand then you need to come up with a way to get cash that doesn't involve 401k's/IRAs
Wow. So you're comparing the OP of this subthread to the Nazis because they think the electorate is susceptible to manipulation. That's some shameful sophistry.
Arizona State University has a ton of long-boarders. There are board racks with built-in lock rings in front of most buildings from what I can tell. Every once in a while I see someone zipping around on an eboard. Seems like a fantastic way to travel across campus.

The way to do it is "3 people making a baby, 3 people building a nursery, 3 people promoting the baby shower". Not all companies can do this, or are managed well enough to pull it off, but it's not an insane thing to try once you've already decided to get on the VC gravy train.
I think that is the difference. Under 50, you are hiring people to execute and the leader can still control everything. Above that you must hire managers to control pieces of what you used to control. You must trust them to do the right thing for the company. Most people who are successful at the 0-50 can't let go of that control.

Could "normal" wheeled train could go this fast reliably in a vacuum chamber? I suspect heat in the wheels and bearings would cause problems, especially without air cooling, but it would take much less energy to drive the train.

If ME is part of DRM platforms (and I believe it is) then disabling it is circumvention of a digital copyright mechanism which brings the DMCA into play.

"The lawsuit against 2600 magazine, threats against Professor Edward Felten's team of researchers, and prosecution of the Russian programmer Dmitry Sklyarov are among the most widely known examples of the DMCA being used to chill speech and research. Bowing to DMCA liability fears, online service providers and bulletin board operators have censored discussions of copy-protection systems, programmers have removed computer security programs from their websites, and students, scientists and security experts have stopped publishing details of their research."[1]

Automated reading of checks and of envelopes is working very well. Automated envelope reading is now so good that the USPS only has one center in the US where humans look at images of envelopes. They just look at the hard cases, and if they show up there, they're really hard.
Old versions did. Newer ones, as mentioned in the article, use a 486-derived low-power core (similar to what was used in Edison/Quark platforms) for the ME.
Yes, I think what you're witnessing is badly managed companies, or companies that don't have much of a future. I'm fairly sure no VC on earth would recommend hiring 20 more project managers.

This entire argument is predicated on a misapplication of the term "government". Something that sets rules is not a government in the same way that an actual government is a government, and confusing the two interpretations cannot lead to productive discourse.

Just to be clear, this definition also makes Walmart the government of all Walmart stores, and me the government of my bedroom. Neither of those are in any way related to how the President is (a part of) the government of the United States.
Do you know them all?
Then why refuse the possibility to disable it?
Medicine as well. Medical residents can have shifts that are 24 hours long.
The problem with that point of view is that you can find a conflict everywhere if you try hard. For a definition, like "conflict", to be useful it must be clearly and distinct. Cinematographic conflict is a problem the characters are confronted with.
It seems like the process went like this:

1. BASE Jumping is dangerous, because sometimes the parachute opens backwards and slams you back into the object you jumped off of.
2. Solution: Use Wingsuits to get further from the object before deploying the chute.
3. Thrill Seekers: So this means we can skim over the rocky ground and through forests right?
4. What, no! That would have the opposite effect! Absolutely not! We were trying to make fewer corpses, not more!

Voice recognition also has a lot less market demand than self driving cars. Technology can be invented that is decades ahead of other fields if enough money is invested.

That is why I think self-driving cars and voice recognition are not comparable problems.
One would say that if you have the money you earned it and you would research the company you're going to give your money. But most of this "Alerts" are just common sense.
What am I missing or why are they releasing these alerts?
There are boosted boards and electric bikes, and scooters/mopeds are bridge products between the two. I really question the need for that.

For many people a scooter will be important if they can't skateboard/have no interest in trying. I think the majority of people who are willing to commute on something like that will prefer a board though. I imagine it's more stable at low speeds, it's got better ground clearance, it's faster to pick/fold up/carry, but probably most importantly it does look a whole lot less dorky.

There's some reason to prefer a scooter to an electric bike, but I think the infrastructure around bikes makes the convenience kind of a non-issue. I would also prefer a bike to a scooter for long distance or higher speed, or if I had to go in a bike lane or the street. A moped on the other hand takes way more room to park (no bike racks) and is too heavy to be picked up. I think there are very few reasons to prefer that to a powerful e-bike with a good suspension, disk brakes and strong frame.

Also, my own nomination: electric rollerblades. Still not much of a defining use case, but personally I'd prefer minimizing the form factor as much as possible. Make the wheels lock so you can do stairs without taking them off, make them convenient to remove, and make them small enough to fit in a drawer.
The article is from 2007, but the research provides real value even if the fundamental concept isn't novel. It says that besides the hypothesis that this adjustment has a particular impact, here's data from real research testing that hypothesis.
YouTube was 65 when acquired by Google.

Craigslist has 50 now, and had 28 as of 2009.

Reddit IIRC was 6 employees until they were spun out of Conde Nast in 2011. (Some of those early employees are on HN; maybe they can correct me.)

PlentyOfFish was one guy until 2008, 5 years after its founding. It was doing a couple million in revenue then.

The big labor-intensive function seems to be enterprise sales. If you're just building a product for people to use or charging self-serve for use, you can do that with a small engineering team. As soon as you start charging $100K for the product or ad sales on the product, then you need to start hiring people to convince customers why they should spend $100K for your product. Of course, each salesperson makes more than they cost, so it's still rational to hire them.
I agree that there's a missing playbook for that phase of companies... it would be great to see some collected wisdom on "these are the ways that companies run into problems in this phase" and "this is how to prevent / deal with those issues".

Startups often have a fun "screw the corporate rules, we're doing it our way!" mentality that's perfect for the Search phase described by Steve Blank here.

During my time in a Fortune 500 company, I came to see the reasons for some of the corporate rules and corporate culture... I saw the problems and potential problems that the rules and processes are in place to deal with.

If you've never been in a large organization, it's a very different beast than a small one... I imagine that it's tough psychologically to institute rules and processes that you rebelled against in an earlier stage.

No.

I have been a serious F1 fan for closing on four decades and I must implore you and anybody else who might be tempted to discount to present values the hope that you express, to consider just how far motorsports* the physical environment and envelope of racing has been altered:.

- magnesium (not alloy!) monocoque body shells were ruled out.

- as were countless rare or highly expensive materials that created paper thin transitions in operation before failure.

- strict cockpit exit limits are enforced, 5s max to be standing on the tarmac and already have the steering wheel replaced

- pit speed limit introduced and lowered

- cornering radii universally enlarged, both by track design and track enlargement

- ditto above because high torque hybrid formula propulsion gives you more apex profiles

- driver aides have been a feature of F1 regardless of the rules, at no time has every assistant device become illegal

- hundreds billions of dollars in chassis, monocoque and aerodynamic R&D have been expended since I was born.

- delta sector split times read out on the steering wheel, feeding the driver closing dynamics and other indicators alert to track slicks and debris

Those were in no particular order, but all changes to far more than likely possible with wingsuits and skydiving.

Moreover these changes happened over decades.

That may be too obvious.

Until you next hear a water cooler cringe worthy moment when a proverbial PHB or sales jock exclaims how everything is enabled nowadays to the ultimate, by modern technology. We're all susceptible to a little bit of that..

* in my example F1, which suffered a near 30% fatality rate in years around the time of my birth, causing F1 to take a early lead, but it is not the solitary work of F1, the HANS device is a NASCAR R&D product that has saved F1 lives certainly.

(I'm a rare advocate of taking much more of the American culture than would be popular, as I feel that avoidable accidents have occurred due to overreliance on the systems and that gut instincts are not on balance a negative in racing, as you may be inclined to imagine, if you are a American fan visiting your first F1 weekend. But the culture as a danger is something that F1 had to address internally, or be outlawed, very early in relative time.)
