If you have an honest question that will move the discussion productively forward, please, by all means ask it. But if you're just looking to pick something apart, please just refrain from doing so. I find Rapoport's rules a good starting place for reflection on how to move a discussion forward, particularly on contentious topics:

CSV locks you to the same fields per data entry, that makes it a little less flexible. Plus one of the appeals for me is readability of the raw data; CSV gets long and thin very quickly. Granted each will best suit a certain type of data.
It's more akin to holding a conspiracy theory that Apple/Google/etc. exist primarily to make money.
We've been in the same boat: a solid, profitable business in an unsexy sector. Our solution was just to continue building slowly from cashflow.

I don't have any advice here, just a note of commiseration.
My understanding is that OpenShift is more of a superset of k8s vs. a fork.

I don't think the situation is going to be as bad as you are implying.
Yes. You will now have a blank Check for the rest of your life:

1- you won’t need to work again. This lets you work on what you want next.

2- you’re very likely to get funded 2m for the next thing. This sale gives you a big stamp.

In short, this game is never about just one company. Get the 14m, stay hungry, and go for the 400m sale on the next.

Play the fucking long game and play it on your terms.
On my 8 year old desktop system (8GB ram, 2.5GHz AMD Phenon II) it feels subjectively faster than Evince because of better UI latency. Resource-intensive is a good thing if the resources are used effectively, eg. for more aggressive speculative rendering, which seems to be the case. On mobile I might care a little more, but the forced animation in Evince (and a growing number of GNOME apps) is a deal-breaker, so I'd prefer Okular even on mobile.
For normal web pages, rasterization of fonts is not a big deal. This is obviously not the case when projected into VR.

WR rasterizes glyphs into font atlases and uploads those to the GPU. Those atlases are cached for use later and can be selectively updated if need be.

We also are working on path rasterization on the GPU with Pathfinder, so that will handle the other use cases plus things like SVG.
I have been using ThinPads exclusively for almost two decades. I just took a look at my old TPs, everything is better in the new laptops except for DEL/INS/PGUP/PGDN/HOME/END key placement and the 4:3 aspect ratio.

I remember how attached I was to my ThinkPad keyboard and how worried I was when they changed to the new one. Comparing the new with the old the new seems to be much more responsive and rock solid -- the old flexed a bit and is not that crispy. I guess that is just memory trick that makes us think that the old was better -- especially when we were so attached to the old keyboard -- this was and still is the most important selling point for me and many other people.

I did not have high hopes for the screen -- probably nobody produces 4:3 laptop displays and they will certainly not adapt entire process and start production just for one, niche laptop.
> Wow, I had no idea this was happening!

This is, by far, my primary complaint about Kickstarter. They insist on sending me emails with "Things we like on Kickstarter". It is, generally speaking, full of absolutely irrelevant projects in the context of someone with a history on KS indicating I am only interested in technology projects.

It is truly infuriating because it always leads to exactly what you said: I had no idea project x was on KS.

I don't know what it is. Some kind of an internal cult. Or is it incompetence? They have my entire history on their site spanning years of supporting projects. Yet they think I might find campaigns about bow-ties and butterflies interesting? Unbelievable.

I wonder how much better campaigns could do if KS actually got their shit together?
Learn from my mistake. Unless you're already financially secure (meaning you could stop working and live your current lifestyle for several years) then my advice is to take the money while you can OR to leverage that valuation to pocket a few million $ (by selling equity).

I'm doing great with my current startups now but several years ago I founded a very promising startup which almost immediately got many acquisition offers in the high six figures and low seven figures. I, of course, took all of this to mean that we were onto something and were sure to get very wealthy in short order.

That didn't happen. What our app did got simply duplicated as a feature by an industry leader in software for our target vertical and that startup rapidly went from extremely profitable to bust.

TL;DR: Unless you're financially secure take the money.
If you think you could actually sell for $12m-$14m do it and don't look back, even if you get to the $400m sale you may not even make that much personally.

But be wary - companies are bought not sold. If you're below $1m in ARR, those approaches you think you're getting at tenuous and possibly totally fake. It may not feel that way to you or even to them, but acquisition are HARD without a revenue number to calculate price on or a really motivated CEO.
This is machine learning dataset aggregation site which can potentially shape into a market place later.

I have focussed on 2 aspects:

1. Search
2. Discussion

I was looking for some feedback from the community regarding if there was a need for such a site and what features would be good to add. Do checkout the search page.

Also do you think there is a potential for buy/sell in machine learning dataset space.

I have added around 1000 datasets and I can add another 3K which I have scrapped.
> Most of the dud movies are broken at the script and actor selection phase.

Nothing kills a movie quite like a bad script. You can pair up a lot of very similar winners and losers and see that the key difference is the script. Compare for example Baywatch and 22 Jump Street. Both rehashed Gen-X era TV shows about good-looking people. 22 Jump Street was smart, self-aware, and successful.

Since few bombs do have good scripts, you would think studio execs would simply never put a weak script into production. While you can have a successful film with a shitty script, why risk it? Especially given how cheap it is to change a script early on.

Given that they seemingly don't, there's probably some other forces in play. Probably some combination of:

1. Maybe it's just really hard to evaluate a script early on. There's probably some truth to this, but I don't think much. Film execs read a lot of scripts and it's an easily trainable skill.

2. Maybe the script starts out good but gets screwed up because of perverse incentives. This is, I think, a bigger part of it. The director wants to put their mark on it. A big-name star wants their character to get more screen time. All of a sudden, there are forces pushing on the script that make it better for the people making the movie, but not for the view.

3. Corporate politics at the studio comes into play. A studio brings on a script doctor who is compelled to earn their check by making a certain amount of changes even if the script didn't need them. An exec owes someone a favor and gets a role jammed in for a particular actor. An exec got burned on a previous film about shark and says all sharks must be removed from all scripts.

4. Then the reality of production, scheduling and budget. You read a lot of stories about subplots that had to be cut because they ran out of money, scenes that were rushed because of location access, etc. I think a lot of times, the movie you watch is not the movie that was described on paper. It's not uncommon for screenwriters to take their name off a film because the final result of production hell isn't what they wrote.
Sell them a preorder.
Email tracking is not an exact science. A lot of people (myself included) don't auto download images for that reason.

But back to the issue at hand:

You could sell it while continuing to be actively part of it, in fact that might be a condition of selling. Plus, with the budget of a larger company and a potentially unlimited supply of talented engineers from said acquirer, sounds like you'll be rich and continuing to build your dream product.

> There's no good reason for Uber to lose a big market over that. Complying would not have disrupted their operations one bit.

This is the thing, Uber assumes that london is just like NYC, where its a highly regulated market with a massive barrier to entry. Its simply not the case.

A minicam license to operate costs ~£500 (https://tfl.gov.uk/info-for/taxis-and-private-hire/licensing...) There is a rich and thriving minicab market. Uber are really quite late to the party, Addison Lee having an internet based hailing serivce in 2007, and an app since at least 2010. The only thing new they bring is "cachet"

If you're talking about a license in the sense of a right, like a copyright or patent license, or a license to drill for oil somewhere, then yes. But this is a license in the sense of regulatory approval of a specific organisation, which is not something it's proper to buy and sell. You can't buy someone's driving license, gun license, medical license, license, etc.

AngelList was built to solve this problem. If your revenue and traction are true, you'll be oversubscribed. Create a profile, and message investors.

Ah, didn't know about this. It was a bit frustrating to see 15 attempts by happy Magit users to let HN know about the campaign fail miserably. Especially because a few weeks earlier "Emacs and Magit" [1] easily made it to #1. So when this thread at least managed to stay on the front page I figured that drama and success sell, trying to interest potential users in a tool that has more to offer than meets the eye, not so much.

By the way, this thread took a huge dive at some point - was that due to some manual penalty?

And now for something completely different: It just occurred to me that Magit's success is partially due to the use of Lisp, for reasons similar to those described in "Beating the Averages￼" [2]. Just thought that would be worth mentioning to give this more relevance to the HN crowd ;-)

Does Apple want people to design custom websites for iPhone X, or is it more likely Apple want's people to make iOS apps instead of websites when that level of tailoring matters?

I still use the web on an iPhone 5S. Even with cropping bars at the top and bottom of a website, the iPhone X view will be improved over the 5S view and it'll look exactly like a website looks on my 5S today - rectangular website framed by a black bezel with rounded corners.
around 30% are from UCI archives. The ideas is to add datasets from a lot of smaller indexes also which are currently hard to find. Also was trying to make UCI archive more searchable.
The point of this kind of UI is that they become an extension of yourself. Saying these UI are old and clunky is exactly like saying a keyboard is old and clunky.

- Outsource non-critical tasks using upwork or odesk for under $1k

- Raise some from http://www.indie.vc/ and then, upto 30% of your ARR as debt. Repayment done as x% of your rev.

If you think, these two steps will charge you up to build & grow this business to 10m or 100m revenue biz, then don't sell.

Else, $12m is pretty much FU money. Buy 250 bitcoins, buy bunch of rental properties, invest in your health & fitness. And, travel a bit to come up with the next idea.

I have sold two companies in last 5 years. But this time, I'm building bootstrapped business with an aim to remain bootstrapped till we touch $100m ARR i.e. building for long term

All the best. There is no right answer to this so, in future, never regret whatever route you pick at this juncture.

> Did it happen in Austin?

NYC still requires fingerprint checks.

In Austin, the mayor and people voted in favor of the checks, but the state legislature killed the city's fingerprinting rule. Some argue this diminished the city's ability to self-govern. That part of the history, despite being quite short, is left out of this article.
> If I had the chance to have a second career, I would try harder not to follow of the fashion of the herd. The mistakes I have made, at least those into which I have insight, have usually resulted from adhering excessively to the prevailing orthodoxy.

I would rather say, that researcher needs to train himself to start with completely neutral attitude to any new idea. Sometimes even old idea deserves to be examined from scratch. This needs a very specific skill to shut off existing beliefs and to start from blank page.

It is all bayesian. You get new proposition, assign 0.5 likelyhood to it, and then you start thinking. While you think you must be ready to reject any idea regardless of its plausibility, if such a rejection allow to see things from new angle. Probably it will lead to some kind of contradiction, but you might not know it a priori, so the only way to be sure is to try it.

All this test rejections should be done systematically and consiously. Or you need to be a genius to do it intuitively in right circumstances.

It needs training, and the best training I know is to learn how to agree with anyone. One need to learn how to understand point of view of other person and to look from that point of view. I'm really surprised, that psychiatrist can make mistakes of not accepting some ideas before taking a close look at them. I tend to believe that ability to understand any point of view, even delirium one, is the key tool for psychiatrist.

> shall turn off the roadway wherever sufficient area for a safe turn-out exists, in order to permit the vehicles following to proceed

I'd love to do that. Unfortunately, even at a slow speed, it can be _challenging_ (to say the least) to detect a safe turnout area (e.g. in winding roads on the way to Tahoe) soon enough that one can actually use it.

Some roads have very handy marked turnouts that make this very easy, but many times there are Very Small locations that one could have used had one known about it ahead of time, or been moving (even slower) slowly enough to turn off right away. Many of these are not clear that they are large enough for one car until you're next to it, and often times you can't easily tell whether they are paved or not.
Here are reasons why one can't:

* you shouldn't work for a job you are not going to be happy about (of course you can't be too picky)

* because interview sucks (numerous highly regarded engineers were turned down by big tech companies)

* because some jobs require you to move despite you like the job

Good for HPE PM though.

Hm...

* default Alsa setup: set master to level that seems comfortable-- i.e., "to taste"

vs.

* default Pulse setup: set Chrome's app level to taste

Bug: packet.city plays an annoying sound with a perceived loudness that the user did not predict.

* Alsa solution: lower the master volume to a level that doesn't result in painful output from packet.city, and adjust all other apps accordingly

vs.

* Pulse: lower Chrome app audio, but leave yourself open to similarly unpredictable painful events from other apps

It seems in this case that the limitations of Alsa actually force the user to do the safe thing wrt perceived loudness.

A fork can imply many things, but all supersets are forks. I realize that RedHat doesn't like calling OpenShift a fork, but it fundamentally is. The only people that will maintain their additional functionality is RedHat themselves.

If you manage to avoid all of their added functionality then you can avoid the vendor lock in. But you can't avoid the delays in getting upstream features/bug fixes.

If Kubernetes was super stable and you weren't likely to want any of that stuff I would agree it probably wouldn't be a big deal. But it's not. Significant improvements are coming in every single release.

RedHat is managing a decent pace in keeping up with Kubernetes for now. But all that it takes to upset that apple cart is for something to get added in a way that breaks their additional functionality.

If RedHat doesn't have the clout to get their improvements in upstream, why should I presume they have the clout to avoid their additions won't be broken by other changes?
