Dan Carlin's other podcast, Common Sense, is also great.
How can you say this is not true then give all example that require a patent? Yes you can mine drugs that are out of patent and find new uses for it that can be patented. Do you know of one new drug that has come to market in recent years without patent protection?
Starting to work on it and maybe built solutions on it without knowing the price is kind of risky...
Looks like it is free for individual users and they have a premium plan for "teams."

Life will always involve doing shit that you don't want to do.

As an employee for a larger company, if your manager tells you to do crap you don't want to do, well you generally have two choices: do it, or quit.

If you're running your own thing, you suddenly have a few more choices: you can reassess whether that thing needs to be done in the first place. You can suck it up and do it yourself, but perhaps you're a little more motivated than if it were your boss at $megacorp telling you to do it because you directly understand why it needs to be done. You could also delegate it to one of your employees, or to a contractor. Etc.

I've been in the industry for about 10 years - at tiny startups, growing startups, mid sized agencies, large companies - and I'm realizing more and more that the odds of running your own thing seem more favorable than the odds of finding the perfect team with a delightful manager where you will only ever work on the things you want to work on, in the environment you want (maybe you want every other wednesday off to hang out with your kid. maybe you don't want meetings after lunch because that's when you're the most productive. etc.)

Of course, that equation is different for everyone - depending on your priorities and interests, you might be better off just working for $megacorp, taking the good with the bad.

But I find it a little mind blowing that my comment is so controversial (currently at -1, with only dismissive replies) on a board dedicated to entrepreneurship.

I will also add (and I'm not saying anything new here, just parroting what 'patio11 and others have said over and over over the years) that most programmers are better equipped than they think they are when it comes to generating meaningful value that can be turned into, at the very least, a living where they get to call the shots.
I've been working on something similar for the last 2 years, so probably longer than Cake. I call it WonderSwipe, currently in beta on iPhones: https://medium.com/wonderswipe/rethink-mobile-search-10-100x...

While we are thinking similar in regards to the stupidity of clicking hit-and-miss links on a list of search results on mobile, fussing with history back and forth in browsers, Cake hasn't gone nearly far enough. Our goal is to not render HTML at all, but summarize text extracted from articles. Full browser views are there only as backup. Only then can we achieve something truly remarkable: 10-100x speedup compared to conventional browsers.

In short, we skip the bloat in dealing with the full HTML DOM and Javascript that's been so abused in ads and articles, which signicantly drain your phone battery and slowdown browsing. And then the summaries reduce your cognitive load in cutting through the noise and getting to an answer, faster.

And in the midst of all the social ails surrounding fake news and filter bubbles, I have plans to address those too. I'm just starting to market WonderSwipe after being in stealth developing it for the last 2 years, so even though it's still in private beta, I'd love your ideas and feedback in terms of what I'm proposing. As web search is like consulting the Oracle in ages past, I believe there's no more important issues to address than truly rethinking mobile search and knowledge transfer.
Maybe in a caste society where such extremes coexist and in a post human labour world.. ah sort of shared misery socialism is preferable to beeing burned alive rich in varanasi
Restrictions aren't just on users, but on providers as well. If you don't see restrictions as an user, it's because most of the restrictions are on the providers.

And nothing wrong with that, I actually support that model, just like in Switzerland, where healthcare is private, but mandated by the government and heavily regulated (with less-regulated private complimentary insurance options).

It allows for innovation and competition between providers, without the harm to users due to the asymmetry of power.

Oh, and births are free.
>his article resonates with me on many levels. I went from below $10/hr

This experience isn't exactly uncommon.

Everyone who had a job during college in a state with a single digit minimum wage then got an entry level tech job in a high CoL area did this.

That said, most people who do that don't suddenly find themselves among people who significantly higher up the social ladder when they do that which I think is what you were getting at.

The downside is that they weren't allowed to sell the genetically modified version, they had to derive it from natural bacteria and formulate it to be a daily supplement instead of a permanent replacement.
It can, but it doesn't. If anything it drives divisiveness on a scale we've never seen before.

Before the internet it used to take 10-20 years to foment discord against a particular group. Now we have a new boogeyman every 18 months and it's always other plebes or pariahs-- never the ruling elite.
How programmers learn to code
Actually, historically all governments started through conquest (military victory), not social contracts. Societies didn't make any decision - governments did, and societies accepted the status quo.
Tether Printer (tetherprinter) on Twitter
I work with plenty of people that may put in a "hard" 2-3 hours of actual work a day. Comparing effort and every poor person I grew up with actually worked really hard.

If anything it's coded language for 'working hard is a great way to end up poor'.

PS: Consider all the "hardworking" people here on HN. Yes, long hours may be expected, but effort has little direct benefit.
oh wow.. brings back memories... back in the 90s use to go there for dinner on Thursday and then to Webster Hall for Psychedelic Thursdays (free entry with train badge/button)

They had good burgers and chef salad was good as well...

P. J. Clarke's is another one where you could get decent burgers.....
Is it alluring? Does it fit within some nice narrative? Can it be explained inside a one-page newspaper article? Then it has enough going for it that it doesn't necessairly need to be true in order to propagate.
I came here to recommend (1), (2) and (6) - and frankly, I prefer both Mike Duncan's and Robin Pierson's style over Dan Carlin's, as the latter easily becomes grating to my ears. Give me Duncan's deadpan humor any day.

Thanks for the other podcasts, by the way!
I had 13 teeth taken out total when my wisdoms got taken out.
Endre Selmeczy DMD in Livermore. I can highly recommend.
The moment you 'interact' with something it goes. So I might click a newspaper article to read it, then refresh the page to update the comments, but poof, it's gone. I'd have to seek it out on the newspaper's page. Utterly dumb.

I haven't logged into facebook a while, and it's not because of recent changes, it's because of existing frustrations, all of which are captured in these comments.
A family member is a health "insurance" actuarial. He said supply and demand does not work in health care. As an example of the ton of data insurance companies have demonstrating this, when a town/region has a higher number of dentists per person, prices do not go down, but that community's dental costs go up. Why? More procedures. And they tend to not get caught because when you get a 2nd opinion in the same town you have the same 'do more procedures' incentive. To have a chance of finding out, you'd have to get your 2nd opinion outside that region.
This is a good point.

We've been idealizing rural / commoner folk for a while. IIRC, French nobility in the 18th or 19th century had the habit of running out to the country and playacting as peasants for fun.

Not to mention there's a glut of 'rural/blue collar porn', (Duck Dynasty, etc) or at least there was a few years back. Some of that maybe people watched condescendingly but there could also be the tendency of portraying these folks as knowing something others do not.

But the _spirit_ of social media is to publicly share information for specific types of social interactions. I have always felt that examples like job recruiters researching applicants' facebook content is morally corrupt, although I don't expect it to ever stop.

For a crude analogy, let's say you're having a yard sale in your front yard. Everything for sale is on public display. How would you feel if a company rep from xyz corp decided they could make a better profile of you by judging all of the contents of your yard sale? It's publicly available data, but is it appropriate?
What is the hard part? What types of inputs/outputs are we talking about here? Fairly ignorant of this area :)
User downloads != transactions. A user can download the app once and conduct hundreds of transactions.

Refunds still exist, and are honestly easy to request. My point is that there is most likely a very strong product/business decision as to why there isn't a "get my money back now" button in the app.
I am a paying listener of Sam Harris's Waking Up - He has a lot of interesting guests and I get create book recommendations. I have also been enjoying the weeks and ezra klein's work, and heard "where it began" is good.
The full-time job of keeping up with Kubernetes
To be fair, a lot of those companies have very rigorous hiring standards. Also many are pretty quick to let people go.

So "hired by GS then left on my terms" is actually a pretty good credential.
Do you have scientific evidence (or "proof") of this claim, assuming you're referring strictly to dental caries, and perhaps receding gums?

I don't believe it, whatsoever. In fact I challenged some friends (a dentist, an orthopedic surgeon, and a biochemist -- all researchers affiliated with prestigious institutions) to provide that scientific evidence, and after a year they all concluded that standard dental advice is simply wishful thinking. Since it is the recommendation of dental associations, a practicing dentist must give this advice, but that doesn't make it true.

Can you please unpack "really flimsy supports" in ELI5 language? I dont get that part of your comment - though I was surprised IN understood your "I am not a hardware engineer" fluidly...

But define "flimsy supports"
This isn't news. It's a smear campaign. Frigg off Bloomberg.
to 500,000 rupees, or about $7,860, of coverage each year. That sum, while small by Western standards, would be enough to cover the equivalent of five heart surgeries in India.

If something like this is implemented, I'm curious to see what it does to prices - will a heart surgery continue to cost less than $2,000?

Healthcare seems like a supply problem to me, not a demand one. Where healthcare is affordable, demand should be stable year-to-year. It seems like what's needed is more doctors and devices, not more ways to pay.
Agreed. It's all the javascript redirects a dozen times through a dozen ad networks that often kill your data (and battery), and sometimes autoplaying videos too, when you just want to read the damn article.

I've written about what I'm working on which address this in my other comment. I've been secretly trying to scratch my itch for the last 2 years. Love to hear more on what irks you when it comes to mobile search. I've written more at https://medium.com/p/rethink-mobile-search-10-100x-faster-in...
I don't know if this will happen anytime soon. I think there are two main problems:

1. As the article mentioned, there is a lot of growth with advertising here. Until that starts to taper off the "big" players in the podcast market (either creators or networks) will be hesitant to sign those types of deals. When they keep getting more advertising dollars it seems silly to move over to a Spotify like system.

2. Smaller players (often independent creators) are less organized and harder to get into that sort of system. This was not a problem for Spotify, or other streaming services, because the music industry had a well established Artist -> Label setup that does not exist for huge swaths of the podcast market.

There would need to be two separate products. One covered by higher liability intended for use in critical systems, and the other under the standard liability.

I imagine that the higher liability CPU would likely be slow, old, and very very expensive. But that is the compromise required on behalf of the consumer.
Either (most) people are stupid and they need to be protected for their own good - in which case we have the problem that the same people are nevertheless somehow capable to democratically choose their representatives. Or (most) people are fine taking more risks than you would like them to, and - because you believe you know better - you want to prevent them from doing so.
Reliable storage software is very difficult to develop in general. If you want reliability and low cost or reliability and performance it's much harder.

In some sense, "cloud native" architecture has shifted all the hard problems into storage by treating all non-storage resources as transient. So storage is the one place where persistent state exists and you can't just reboot it into a clean state.
If anybody is interested by (or feels like contesting) this view of how earlier economies functioned without money and/or how money came to be, I highly recommend Debt by David Graeber (a self-declared radical activist, instigator of the Occupy Wall Street movement, and brilliant anthropologist — I had the good fortune of attending some of his letters, and he is enthralling).
wxpython does provide demo,which include demos for most widgets, you could download it from here:

I have been using wxpython on and off for last a few years, the nice thing is it gives a natural looks on each supported OS, so your application won't standout as odd/fancy/weird/off, as with some other cross platform GUI framework do;

Both of my crowns from 2004-06 or thereabouts are still in very good shape. Your wife may have been unlucky indeed, or maybe they used different/weaker materials.
Thanks for your feedback (again :)).

At the moment it pools the comments from all Reddit and HN submissions and thus all subreddits. It sorts them by relevance/upvotes. I'm using this "plugin": https://github.com/tgallant/embedd

I was thinking about having configureable options where the user can choose which services to show comments from. Was thinking about adding others as well - e.g. Twitter, Disqus. I can imagine not all techies want FB comments. :) But for now, I just wanted to release another version first.
