Biggest downside: a lack of established process. Big corporate had too much process at times, but there was normally decent enough tooling around everything. And there were teams to do everything, which really allowed you to focus.

Advantage: More control over what tools I use. Always something interesting happening, and knowing that the growth of the company is directly influenced by your work.

I am also terrified that being able to impact the company/culture means that I will lead us down the wrong path.
That's actually about 2x the population of the US with HIV. Relatively speaking, it's not that rare comparatively.
I think this will be interesting. But the biggest cost to these institutions would probably be developing the app that would be published, rather than $99/year to get it published. But that’s not accounting for volunteers...
Apple does directly sign non-label artists to exclusive deals with Apple Music, but so far that's mostly established artists, they haven't put money into discovering and developing artists.
I thought Prisoner's Dilemma was more about the inability to have good information: the prisoners can't communicate with each other, and therefore have imperfect information about their decision. To me, this supports my argument: if the prisoners are free to communicate and gather information as they see fit, they can make a good decision. What it sounds like you're saying is that the government should tell the prisoners what to do. I prefer the former, because I think it keeps the responsibility still on the prisoner ("consumer" in our case).

You keep using the word "coordination", and I guess I just don't see it applying in the way I think that you mean. There are other, perhaps better, ways to coordinate than governmental intervention. You've said that boycotts don't work, but I'd say that if the market doesn't want a product, it will fail; why does a government have to enforce that? A boycott may fail because a loud minority isn't representative of the overall market; isn't that the behavior you want?

You may find the references to some communist revolutions distasteful, but I think it's an appropriate comparison in that folks see government as the solution to a problem that markets solve really well. I specifically didn't say that what you're espousing will lead to 50m deaths, but I do think it's a useful tool for showing where government can take on too big of a role with regards to things that markets are very efficient at doing themselves.

>"I suppose I'm fine with that static-ness."

Isn't Hacker News full of people that explicitly disagree with this? That static laws are a big tool for incumbent companies to build their moat, and entrepreneurs try to break those down in ways that are intended to be better for everyone. Maybe you disagree (which I respect), but in many ways, static laws look good on the surface but have real downsides in the long run.

> aka smart homes that secretly advertise to you.

I don't think that these things should be done secretly. I think companies should have to make this information available to consumers, and I think the government should enforce this to some degree (e.g. if a company is recording my phone calls to send back to their headquarters, absolutely it should be known).

What catastrophic warming? Or better, define catastrophic warming

And by the way, 90% of skeptics still say that there is no warming.

This concept is addressed in the book “Catastrophic Care: How American Health Care Killed My Father--and How We Can Fix It.”

Highly recommend it. It’s got some great ideas. And I've mostly just copy/pasted this from another comment I made recently. I really hope some of the ideas in that book start making inroads via legislation.

"...find no evidence of reduced spending in Texas post-reform, and some evidence that physician spending rose in Texas relative to control states. In sum, we find no evidence that Texas’s tort reforms bent the cost curve downward."

"...our conclusion is that reforming the malpractice environment has largely insignificant economic implications for health insurance markets."

So, I mispoke. Claims went down 75%. Malpractice premiums went down 50%. Yet, overall, medical costs to insurance companies and consumers rose at the same rate as everyone else.

I am also a long-time resident and consistent subway rider and I agree with the above. The subway DOES need a massive cash injection to allow it to perform to the standards we'd all like. The city also DOES need to reconcile the fact that it costs 10x the amount as any other city to repair because of inflated labor costs. It is NOT "falling apart" in some Fallout-style postapocalypsis. If we need to convince people that the sky is literally falling to get them to care then nothing is going to change and certainly not for the better.

There are at least tens of thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands of Intel CPUs in just datacenters around the globe. Most of which are controlled by companies that make a lot of money and paid a lot of money to intel for their CPUs. And I doubt that they will just take this kind of hit to their performance sitting down. And thats just datacenters, not to mention all the personal computers (mine included) that will suffer. At this point, if this is real, its not a question of if it will cost them, its how much. And considering the sheer numbers of the products affected, I can't imagine it will be cheap. I am not saying that I think they are going to go bankrupt, and I would be surprised if they did, but a 30% percent performance hit is multiple generations of fallback, and considering the importance of computing today (and the number of different entities that are affected by this) I find it hard to imagine that it will be just taken sitting down.

While Go’s dependency management story isn’t an encouraging one, from a testing perspective I personally have few complaints with Go. Mocking with interfaces is straightforward, and despite the basic testing package, I find it quite easy and straightforward to both write and run Go tests — a testing “framework” is not required.

I do generally use the testify assert package for convenience[0], but it’s not strictly necessary.

Not knowing how to get to school? Fair enough, maybe it really is implausible for him to get to school on his own - I don't know your local geography. My wife grew up in Plano, TX; there was a big highway between her and her high school, which was also miles away. At the time, Plano didn't really have a public bus system to speak of, and she didn't have a bike - walking five miles isn't a very good option. She would know how to get there, but there was no reason to do it aside from school bus or her parents driving.
Ah yeah that's it.

You can still only fit so many cars safely on a given road, regardless of how automated they are. Subways (and all public transportation) will always have greater potential throughput, provided that people can get where they want to go. The larger the city, the more likely you are to have common routes with other people.

It's analogous to small packets vs jumbo packets. You're going to always have better throughput for the overhead, the larger the unit... so for just bulk moving of data (people) to/from a limited number of destinations, you'd be better served with the "jumbo" option. If you have a small number of people with a large number of destinations, a smaller option (cars), is better.

Unless we're talking completely reimagining the transportation network (which isn't a 5-10 year time frame project), you won't see use of autonomous pods displace subways -- especially in a place like NYC.
I can definitely speak to that last sentence. I recently quit my job for various reasons, and way too many responsibilities for a 2 person team was one of them. We had enough work for 6 people, and things were always on fire because we weren't allowed to make infrastructure maintenance a higher priority than shipping the product -- it was excruciating!

Now when I am interviewing, and explaining the breadth of my previous responsibilities, instead of whining about it ("ugh I was sooo overworked") I use it to my advantage ("It was challenging, but I learned a lot, and now I feel I'm better at managing my time/planning skills as a result")
A pub is not a bar. The only real similarity is that a pub and a bar both serve alcohol. The atmosphere is completely different. I suspect this may not be abundantly clear to a lot of Americans, who seem to lack exposure to a true European style pub.
Nature can’t (or at least has a very hard time) climb out of the local minima it has created.

The gallbladder has a heap of design flaws but it is quite useful (until it causes problems). Bird lungs would be much more efficient a design as they don’t have dead space in the way ours do.

I think it's a mistake to think of "countries" in this way. America has never helped most of the people in it get good educations. I don't personally want to be "dominant" in this nationalistic way. So it doesn't bother me at all. If you are interested in math, study math.
You guys are role models for the rest of the country and the world. Keep going. All the best.
Like Louis CK?
Yes, that was my point.

And I might add that the inefficiency (in terms of national health outcomes vs. national public and private spending) is partially the reason, or explanation, that U.S. is the forefront of medical technology. The U.S. spends on things that develop technology but do not contribute much to national health.

Things like transplants, or cures for rare diseases, are generally not important for national health outcomes, but U.S. does a lot of work on these. You achieve low child mortality by forcing relatively simple things done for every child and family, even those who are not very receptive to care. U.S. does not do that as much as many other countries with lower spending but better national health outcomes.

I did. The earlier study cited recommended the RDA should be 800, this study recommends 400; that cuts it by half from the earlier study.

The actual government issued RDA, now and at the time of the study, however, is 600, not 800, so it's only recommending the actual RDA be reduced by 1/3, not 1/2.
I feel like Comcast/Verizon/CenturyLink were too short-sighted. If they were only 50% as shitty to their customers as they have been, they could have ridden that gravy train for a long time.

If Spotify started charging $15 instead of $9.99 I wouldn't care, I would still pay. They are simply the best music streaming service out there IMO.

I payed for Google Music for a bit a while ago and I hated it and switch to Spotify. The experience was awful. I'm also pretty sure that Google Music rips audio from Youtube in certain cases which makes the audio quality terrible.
How do you disentangle this from normal development? It could be like taking vitamin C to cure a cold?
HIV is notable for its ability to create "hidden reservoirs". Some recent cure attempts have been aimed at intentionally "kicking" the hidden reservoirs in order to flush them out. For this reason I mentioned inducing leukemia as it would replicate the circumstances of the Berlin Patient.

For additional follow up, there have been additional bone marrow transplant attempts in somewhat similar circumstances with bone marrow that did not contain the mutation.

Dooly - Vancouver, BC, Canada

We're building a note taking app for sales folks. Take notes in Dooly, we update Salesforce for you, and we surface information in the moment to close deals.

Check out our website: https://www.dooly.ai

CRM is broken. You pay a lot of money for the software, then you hire an administrator, and then no one puts the data in because it's not helping them do what they were hired for: to sell. We're on a mission to fix that.

We've spent the last year building a foundation and obsessing on early customers.. we're now seeing the fruits of that. Our customers tell us that they love and couldn't live without Dooly, including some well-known valley brands that we're excited to have using. New deals are coming in on an almost weekly basis. Now we're ramping up to deliver knowledge in the moment and help our customers be the smartest people in their meetings.

We're a small, super-passionate team and we're looking to bring onboard a third well-rounded engineer. Our stack is es6/react/redux on the frontend and rails on the backend.

Everyone here is passionate about design and bringing consumer-grade product to the enterprise.

Send me an email if you're in Vancouver or if anything caught your attention!
