> GitHub didn’t seem (or didn’t want) to realize they were attacking our core business directly.

They don’t explain what they think GitHub should, or even could, have done instead. Should GitHub have stopped improving their product, even in ways like the ones mentioned (package distribution, minimal issue management, security scanning) that were obvious and in-demand years ago?

To me, the post doesn’t acknowledge that GitHub did nothing wrong or even unpredictable, and Gemnasium accepts full responsibility for the outcome.

Another way to write the GitHub-related part of this post would be “We had years to make this a business before GitHub acted on customer requests for things that customers obviously wanted. GitHub actually moved slowly enough that we had more time than any reasonable entrepreneur might have expected. We couldn’t.”

How small the binaries are, with a GUI (GTK, KDE, or QT), if I need to install in a system with no root permissions (local install) that's what I like about sublime, I can install it in home directory without needing admin help.

> It seems obvious to me that this is just an artificial product to make more revenue.

If a product is actually generating more revenue, what makes it "artificial"? Do you disagree with the use of products to complement an ecosystem, or do you disagree with the use of products that are not intended to turn a profit on their own, like loss leaders?
I don't see where "victimhood by proxy" fits into your example.

I thought the Christian Evangelical support of Jews and Israel was more from other reasons.

I was brought up in a strongly Christian family. When I think of a shofar, the first thing that comes to mind is the Battle of Jericho. I can totally see why someone would want to blow in a shofar because of its Biblical associations.

Some Evangelical Christians support Israel because of Christian Zionism. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Zionism . Quoting from there:

> Christian believers are instructed by Scripture to acknowledge the Hebraic roots of their faith and to actively assist and participate in the plan of God for the Ingathering of the Jewish People and the Restoration of the nation of Israel in our day.

The end goal is that this is a prerequisite for the Second Coming of Christ and the end of the world.

Where does a fetishized victimhood of Jews and Israel fit in?

I have some medical supplies that Amazon will sell me without a prescription. I used them last time because I neglected to order far enough ahead of time, and the game of tag between my doctor and my pharmacy would have taken too long - Amazon Prime to the rescue! Today I pick up a new prescription at my pharmacy, and I'm curious to know if my insurance copay is less than what Amazon charged. I'm guessing it could go 50-50 either way.
Why is that? They seem to be at very different stages.

This move is very needed competition and is a start to fix pricing and hopefully smarter grouping.

But, ultimately health insurance should be something people get on their own like other insurance, healthcare needs to be unbound from employers in our system.

Part of the problem with pricing is the health insurance companies are not consumer focused due to their main customers being employers not individuals. Other insurance industries (auto, home, life etc) have to be consumer friendly, you can see it in the marketing you see, they need consumers to buy on their own.

Health insurance companies like Aetna/BCBS/etc fix prices in backrooms with employers, medical services, hospitals, doctors and more. Current healthcare players actively price out individuals due to legacy grouping by companies not individuals across many ages/spectrums. Grouping by employer leaves self-proprietors, small companies and more with higher healthcare bills due to them being more risky because they are small. Smart grouping would be across all customers not just by employer/company, that is a game to get prices lower in certain companies that are larger unfairly.

Employers should have zero involvement with your health other than paying you enough to go get insurance on your own, whether that is single payer public option or private insurance. Healthcare tied to employment has problems as it makes it harder to change jobs, start a company, ageism, and if you ever do need it, if you lose your job you are out of luck.

ACA started the process to unbind health insurance from employers and hopefully this Amazon/Berkshire/JPM product/company will be consumer focused unlike current health insurance companies, and start to fix healthcare to be consumer focused like products should be.

At this point both the Amazon and CVS ventures are adding needed competition, as healthcare costs are starting to cut into consumer funds heavily. Healthcare is stealing other industries profits via this encroachment. Health insurance companies used every excuse and love the legislative turmoil because they can raise prices without checks in the chaos.

Hopefully the unbinding of healthcare from employment continues, whether through better consumer focused healthcare companies or a single payer public option like Medicare-for-all that the consumer can choose between, as that is the only thing that will start to fix pricing and grouping.

This is very smart for Amazon as healthcare is still completely undisrupted and ripe for competition, tons of technology and product opportunities and literally any effort is better than what we currently have for health insurance, the only product that gets worse every year and goes up by a minimum of 20-30% yearly in some cases 120% which is impossible to continue.

You jest... but I have a very clear memory from 2006: "18 years of education, and I cannot figure out how to handle a fucking phone". I almost cried myself to sleep that day.

Now, on the other hand, think company trainning is subpar everywhere. I did not grow up in an office, so it's not a reasonable expectation for me to be aware of what advanced functions office phones do have. And no, dumping a manual on you it's not an answer. That's why having a work culture where existing employees actively show the ropes to the new ones is a imponderable yet undervalued asset for any company.

Complicating beating Amazon is the fact that it is lead by the arguably the best CEO in all of tech (and maybe in any company).

Whatever else may be said about Bezos, he has the ability to think long-term, create new markets, and execute on his vision. He also has the trust of investors who still buy Amazon stock even though he pretty much reinvests all the profits. The combination of existing market dominance, excellent leadership, and ready access to vast amounts of capital is a very hard combination to beat.
Right, and that's not something we can fix entirely.

We can, however, empower kids and foster an environment that is at a minimum good enough to let them achieve more than their parents did.

Regardless of the causes of such inequality, the fact is the CEO is more prepared than the janitor and is paid more accordingly.
Do you have any more info about the controller/implementation for this project? I'd love this kind of system on my espresso machine!
This is a good reply, and one thing to keep in mind is the profit is for current prices. If they go up and you don't sell then that $1.30 a day could be more like $1,300 a day in a few months or years.
You are correct about the dates but the regulatory planning and preparation for the CFTC regarding the futures contracts has been a long process. CFTC had jurisdiction and interest in assessing asset pricing conditions leading up to the contract launch.
Why do you think that's a "typical baby boomer's idea of a vacation"? The people you were observing were 100% pre-selected to be the type of people who would go on a cruise. It's obviously not representative of the population at large.
We have just that type of model coming up in our next release. So for example in the case of a smart car, a higher value for torque than usual might be OK if it is simultaneous with a peak in the gas pedal. But if a peak in the pedal does not coincide with a peak in torque, that is a problem. Follow us to stay up to date!

It just comes down to Google gets to pay cost for ads and everyone else has to pay market price. The important factor here is any profit that could have been made between cost and market price for those ads is lost to Google as well.

At best, Google is just cheating revenue out of its ad division. I'm not sure this would actually be a huge advantage in the long run unless integration led to Google ads being cheaper to implemented than ads for others.
I love how much you're defending and willing to go to bat for something you haven't tested yourself nor seen any real world examples of. Why?!
Showing these ads has legal implications for FB. They could be on the hook for selling unregistered securities. So it's a very sensible policy for a juicy legal target to adopt.

Wire runs are so short and peak current is so brief that it effectively doesn't matter.

Most folks run 14AWG between the battery and the power distribution board. PDBs are generally made with 2oz copper and wide traces to accommodate the current, from there, the total current load is divided by 4, assuming that's how many motors or running.
Great work, and I'm looking forward to getting involved if I can. I'm just learning about this project, and am very interested as I'm doing a project with similar performance goals for filesystem navigation. It even has a CRDT based concurrency model, and a multi process architecture with back and front-end applications communicating across a JSON api.

I'm curious about your reasoning for JSON, as compared to protocol buffers, flat-buffers, etc. I would imagine that accessibility and ease of use would be the main reason for choosing JSON, is that in fact the case?

Are there any other reasons you chose JSON over other wire formats/protocols?

I agree with your assertion in the video that this is not much overhead, but I struggle with this debate as I work to scrape every ounce of performance out of the architecture.

Do not elide over the word 'required.' It is not a meaningless word. In my opinion it makes all the difference. In comparison, the 'intrinsic value' of the network is not intrinsic at all. Miners and hodlers and users are free to use any other cryptocurrency, or none.
Those people are not part of "us", you see.
HN is now (fortunately? unfortunately?) large enough that multiple groups of people with different consumer identities coexist under the same forum. I'd guess that startup founders are a minority by user count.

As a founder of a startup, I don't own a Tesla (nor do I wax philosophical about economic inequality often), but there are plenty of articles and comment threads that I find valuable. It's also healthy to keep abreast of a broad understanding of what people find interesting. It just so happens that Teslas are at an intersection of featureset and price that interests a lot of people here and I find that valuable for HN content.

Also, a model 3 is something like $40k-50k (realistically) which is probably above the range for a ramen profitable founder but certain well within range of most of the middle class to upper-middle class such that I wouldn't consider it an expensive luxury toy.

Maybe we can just sit in the chair, get a catheter inserted, and then be covered in an expanding foam that would completely seal us into the seat and make sure that we could finally get the sleep we deserve (and probably have no issue surving a devastating plane crash on land with no injury at all... assuming we had a good way to get out of the foam once we noticed the plan had crashed before the foam caught on fire).
> For that particular text editor latency of char typed to appear on screen will be 16ms (normal 60 FPS refresh rate).

That's very impressive, if so. On Windows 7 with DWM (GPU display compositor) switched off?

How did you validate and measure latency?

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm under impression Windows 10 DWM adds additional latency making 16 ms latency unachievable.

Perhaps relevant to this is the point about band gaps:

That's a property that crystals can have, but disordered materials can't, right? So it's interesting that a non-crystalline material can have that property.

Good point. Not artificial for Google as it makes money. I meant artificial for users as there is no need and it replaced a better product that made less revenue.

For example, have a free water fountain and then replacing it with a coin operated water fountain that dispenses warm water is using artificial with my original intent.

My main disagreement is in the use of verticialy integrated products that reduce consumer value but yield higher marginal value to the producer. I’m a huge fan of complementary products within an ecosystem that increase consumer value. I’m also fine with loss leaders, but again I prefer ones that lead to increased consumer value.
Um, yes, that is the point i am making. Them being Yahoo is precisely why they have beef with Google.
> Does this mean fiat currencies have intrinsic value? If so, how is this value more 'intrinsic' than the value a network gives a cryptocurrency?

Because you are required to pay taxes.

Actually, if I understand correctly, MMT would argue that a central bank has very little control over money supply(other than in the rare case of acting as a "lender of last resort"). Instead, money is created through the act of deficit spending.

What bothers me more than anything in this isn't the existence of Tether and the suspicious behavior of Tether/Bitfinex players...

It's that Bittrex and others are attempting to become mainstream and they've accepted these USDT since forever, and they continue to accept them well after the suspicions were public.

This is a black stain on the exchanges. It also personally makes me cynical of the entire space. I moved my mainstream coins off of Bittrex and back into GDAX where it seems safer.
