One obvious thing to keep in mind is the profit model.

AWS at least prices lambda, api gateway, and rds so it's very cheap and attractive for projects with low resource needs. As soon as it gets popular though, they own your ass until you migrate off it. We looked at one application on it and it worked out to billions monthly for high traffic loads, vs much less if we hosted on their regular boxen ourselves.

"operational tools" might be the right answer here - use it for something that will have bounded scale and you can predict the expense.
When a thread becomes as much about a title as this one has, it's in HN's interest to have a different title on the front page, so we've changed this one.

Suggestions for a better replacement are welcome. 'Better' in this case means accurate, neutral, and using representative language from the article itself.

Hi there - no code was written during the weekend. After consulting with a lawyer, we concluded the only "IP" was the original idea, which I pitched.

The weekend was used exclusively for user research, concept validation, and some wireframing.

(My partner's work - a mock website and logo - couldn't be used after the weekend.)

Techstars has its own guidance regarding IP, but it's rather hand-wavey. I was surprised by this when I later found out that only 25% of teams continue working together.

Techstars Startup Weekend doesn’t support or take part in the signing of any legal documents at the events themselves, and while Mentors with legal backgrounds are often present and able to give general advice, they are not permitted to give specific legal counsel.

I said lowercase l, not capital L libertarian. I wasn't referring to the Libertarian Party proper, as you seem to be.

Considering that the only well-known, self-identified libertarian-esqe political figures in the US are Ron Paul and Rand Paul, and both are prominently Republican, I don't believe identifying libertarians as leaning more conservative is incorrect, nor spreading misinformation.
Noticed in the API results that you have images from TMDB ... does this mean you link your data to TMDB ids? If you could expose an endpoint to search by TMDB id the utility of this would go up exponentially!
Dogecoin should also have theoretically been always going up. I seem to recall something about the moon...
Comparing with the area which can't be really used for production as such is also misleading. Try comparing with the actual solar plant installations and it wouldn't look so simple.

All the gold ever mined fits in an olympic pool, but it's also not saying anything about how achievable that picture is. Ignoring the order of magnitude is even more misleading.

In practice people usually watch an episode once or twice. They lose access if they lose the account, they do not own the episode. Additionally, Google could compete and make a monthly streaming service too, which they don't except for live tv. Why aren't they competing with a streaming service? Because they have Google Play.
I don't think this situation is worth much attention, honestly, but that said I do find it very easy to imagine being a person who doesn't understand how much of a breach such a video might be. I would be extremely cautious, because I'm a cautious person and because I know Apple is very secretive. And I'm a 'techie'

But most people are not like me. And even imagining a twenty-something version of me I can imagine doing something like this without much thought.
It's effectively a kind of hedge fund that dabbles in internet and social-specific assets. The more they diversify their portfolio and occasionally branch out, the harder they will be to fully kill. This is the pattern with a lot of companies. They just become portfolio asset managers with a specific area of interest.

These kinds of tricks are nice for progressive enhancement - you can have a navigation section in your server-side-rendered SPA that outputs a fully usable nav like this, and if a user has JS disabled, they'll still be able to navigate around your site, albeit with hard page reloads instead of more instant transitions. It's funny that people are using js frameworks to render js-free snippets that are then progressively enhanced with more js, but that's web development today.

But if, as you predict, ISPs/infrastructure only support GOOG, FB, and AMZN packets, what good will alternative protocols be? Seems like there will be no opportunity for new information-innovations like Bitcoin.

That's my quagmire with movies right now.

I have an 3rd Gen Apple TV and the thing is as slow as fuck to stream movies. Also, Apple TV doesn't immediately put out movies for rent, as fast as it does for buying.

I just want to rent the fucking movies. Not buy them. There's no more brick and mortar video rental stores in my area.

They just make it more enticing to pirate the movie since it's probably easier. (Not that I actually do.)

I think this bit from the article sums up the intent of rule #1:

Hi Hacker News!
My team and I have been working on a NodeJS/Express/React/PSQL project for the past ten months. We are ready to see what people will do with this project and as a part of our rollout, I would like to offer anyone who is a consultant or freelancer, an online automated tool to sell and manage your services at no cost (Only this week)! I would like to receive some feedback and improve our current beta product.

It's a legitimate point to consider. I've set up my home router with Tomato by Shibby, which allows routing all traffic over a VPN link. I was finding the router couldn't keep up with a 50 Mbps link. Granted, these routers aren't designed with that use case in mind. But, running a VPN link all the time on mobile devices kills battery very quickly, so setting up the link on the router is preferable. Consequently, I don't route all traffic over the VPN, which is suboptimal.
Does Slack actually render any externally-provided HTML?

Last I checked, they had full control over all the rendered content, including the snippets that show up when you paste, say, a YouTube video. They do use HTML UIs here (e.g. the embedded YouTube player), but is this stuff coming directly from the upstream source or from Slack? I would hope the latter. After all, it seems you can paste a direct link to a video file (e.g. .mp4), and Slack renders its own video player.

I never understood why Slack didn't spend their many billions of cash rewriting the desktop app with something like React Native. Even if they do need to render third-party snippets, they could still embed web views for those instances, which should hopefully be in the minority.

Again, as TFA mentions, bitcoin is speculation, not investment. It has no inherent production of value, unlike stocks.
I tried this Skype via insiders and it's... unusual. Things have been much more customizable but Skype has been a battery hog.

Do not forget to backup your history before upgrading in Library/Application Support/Skype! It's not compatible.

Guessing: Between arithmetical and exponential? Geometric/multiplicative?
You can do actually things with gold. More than you'd expect (for instance http://geology.com/minerals/gold/uses-of-gold.shtml )

BTC is quite different as it is only a "value store" and is inflationary (the supply of BTC is fixed and won't increase)
Let's ignore the ridiculous 99% figure on which you rhetorically position your argument.

- I don't know that innovation is the right term for the rapid value extraction you're talking about. It's more like a powerful and well-configured economic environment for manufacturing-related value extraction. Many aspects of that environment are temporal and historically contingent. Things like labor costs, labor conditions, rule of law/regulations and international tolerance for norm-breaking are not constants. And some of those may have passed inflection points recently (ie- labor costs and tolerance).
So, good competitive circumstances. "Innovation"... I don't know.

-How profitable and sustainable are these value extraction operations, on average? I really don't know, but how reliable of a business plan is it? I'm not doubting people get rich off it, but it feels like slash and burn territory rather than a blueprint for building big, sustainable businesses.

-Sure, there's a case to be made against IP. But this article and this thread are examining the outright fraud of trying to pass off counterfeits as a different company's product. That's categorically different and clearly problematic even in an IP-free world.
The counter example to that is the preservation of old video games.
You're trying to make this article more of a social policy commentary than it is.

Having a "life-long expensive disease" is like the inverse of Rule #12, where you've already lost the lottery. Now, this wouldn't even be a problem in Canada, but it'd be pretty moot to put in a rule about that.

The point is, this article isn't "these are the ingredients for being rich", it's "What reasonable guidelines can you follow to maintain any wealth that you manage to accrue?"

The context was "rich people went bankrupt, whaaaaat?" and the article is "well, they must have violated one or more of the following rules in a big way!"

> How much would something like Idris lower costs at Experian? That is, in your "cost" metric, what weight do you assign to the cost of catastrophic bugs?

As a practitioner (and evangelist) of formal methods, you won't hear anything from me against the use of formal methods, although I have plenty of reason to believe that Idris (as an example of a particular design) is not very good at formal verification. The cost of bugs must be factored in, but we haven't seen the Idris approach effective at reducing bugs at a cost commensurate with their impact, except when their impact can be truly catastrophic. All the effective formal methods I know of look nothing like Idris.

As someone who has used formal methods to good effect (I believe) and is now learning Lean (which is can be put in roughly the same camp as Idris), I find it very interesting, but I cannot even imagine how it can form the basis for something that will one day be used at scale, especially given that there are such better alternatives.

This is a crime. The power to unregister voters must be forcibly taken away from states; especially red states, since they are the only ones abusing this power.

It should require federal action, instead.
I'm a proponent of Electron for startups just getting off the ground with cross-platform desktop apps.

Slack has raised some serious capital, however. The desktop app is the cornerstone of their product and performance is a known pain point (cpu/memory). Why haven't they left electron in the dust and taken performance seriously?
Obviously not, clearly the point mentioned just has to do with the macro layout of one or more browser frames. It sounds like they moved from a model like <iframe> to <frameset>
I like it, but it's a bit nausea inducing for me. I'm also the type of person that feels nausea playing FPS games, shifting my focus quickly is not the right feel for me.
Meh, there's often reasons to reinvent a portion of an API. You'd need to be more specific about what you see there that's an issue.

I also pointed out Telegram because people, consistently, in every one of these threads, trot it out as an example of a native chat app (I don't count the Qt version in any of this, because it does not in any way feel native on macOS).

To be honest, I welcome anyone to point out a competing cross-platform chat application that does almost as much as Slack does and doesn't eat up memory.
I'd trade.

I've gotten better at guessing whats coming.

I miss the days of yore when we were young and innocent and dreamed of a brighter open future.

Now the only solution is to disconnect.
but because the data belongs to you, you could still jump to another social network or another application, every easily. You wouldn't be locked out of your own data, if FB banned you. And if everyone else was doing it too, you'd still be able to socialize with everyone else by going onto any social network of your choice.
Using this as a teaching platform was my first reaction too.

I don't think I would use it for anything production though without an option to export the app (database & source for my app). I would pay the listed monthly subscription fees in a heartbeat. That is a no brainer for the time this appears to save but I have learned the hard way too many times in the past on being locked into a platform for business crucial stuff.

I would be fine even paying a one-time fee of few hundred dollars to be able to export my app if I need to. Simply for the peace of mind of not being locked in if something happens.
that's standard copyright infringement though, rather than an explicit law?
I think you might be missing the point. Amazon didn't used to be a "buyer beware" e-commerce platform. You used to be able to trust them, where as everyone knew eBay was rife with counterfits and fraud. Amazon and eBay didn't used to be comparable, because one site (Amazon) used to have integrity in their product listings.

That's no longer the case. Amazon doesn't even attempt to protect consumers the way they used to. This has cheapened their value and put the burden on consumers -- most of which are unable to decipher fraud from legitimate products. I assure you my grandma has zero clue when she's getting scammed on Amazon and that's bad for business and bad for those in our society who are vulnerable to these types of scams.

Buying on Amazon shouldn't be like playing roulette.

It's overwhelming. Paraphrasing on a lot of great thinkers: focusing on things that are out of your control is a direct path to misery.

Unsolicited advice: every day, every one of us can focus on things that we do have control over. We can help other people, be kind to each other. We can knock on doors for organizations we believe will make a positive impact.

I'm not advocating for wishful thinking – just that it can feel good to focus every day on the things that we can control, and make a difference in our own circles.

ETFs trade mid-day instead of just end of day. You can only buy unit shares (but the unit price is typically far lower than mutual fund minimums). Those are really the only differences I know about.
If you don't have Amazon Prime you save money by shipping direct from China since China subsidizes their shipping and the United States accepts the parcel and delivers it at no extra charge. If something costs $6 to ship from Amazon then it will probably cost around $2 in shipping from China. Plus no sales tax.

2. Tensorflow the tech people most want to learn in the next year

3. 40% of people survey spend >1-2 hours per week searching for another job. Surprising given all companies complain about the difficulty in finding data scientists/machine learners.

Awesome! Useful, intuitive and good looking!
To pick a nit, if there is one type that can be legitimately called "extreme" encryption it would be one-time-pads that were generated from truly random sources and distributed out of band.

With other types of encryption the math works (to various degrees) towards making brute-force decryption so time consuming that either the message would be worthless once it is decrypted, or the time horizon is otherwise beyond what is feasible. However, what math gives, math can also take away. Advances in cryptanalysis algorithms or sideband attacks could expose the message at any given point in the future. There may even be known attacks by three-letter agencies or other adversaries.

However, with a one time pad, given that the pad was truly randomly generated, was not exposed during distribution and is destroyed on each side upon encryption/decryption, the plaintext can NEVER be known.

Without an attacker with a time machine, the procedure is 100% airtight.
Sure I do. But if one has an aim to be understood, it's better not to make everyone lookup what you're referring to. If something has a well known name, use the name!

Titan’s Debates: Pros and Cons of Bitcoin
My favorite formula, in constructing nested VPN chains:

1) First VPN, that only my ISP and second VPN see: I choose one that's popular where I live, and commonly used for torrenting, and I have a torrent client up 24/7.

2) Second VPN, that only the first and third VPNs know about: I choose one that does business from a jurisdiction that isn't very friendly with my government and its friends.

3) Third VPN ...

4) Final exit VPN, that only the previous VPN and websites see: I choose one that doesn't attract too much attention. For Mirimir, that's IVPN, because I'm already so associated with it.
