Maybe we’ll see move towards publicly or philanthropically funded news sources. I can see why having a high quality news source would be an attractive recipient of donations for some people. I’ve already seen the New York Times push this a little bit, asking me to donate to pay for student subscriptions.

This model has some obvious downsides, since the news source is now beholden to publish views that their donors like, and the donor class is likely going to be more concentrated and more opioniated than a normal subscriber. but it’s still not too different than what we have now.
The instructions for some of the previous dev kits point to "known good" FMC compatible adapters.

The one that caught my interest right away is the PCIe module:

Ask HN: Thoughts/experience in meal-delivery startups?
e.g. https://helloyumi.com/

I would love to learn from anyone who may have experience or insights on starting/validating a meal-delivery company.

I understand food delivery startups are proven to be a hard business (focus is often on growth more than profits, high burn rates, low returns and they can be logistics nightmares). But in-spite of all that, there are still niche prepared meal delivery services that keep popping up.

Was wondering what everyone's thoughts are on this?
I'm pretty sure you're quoting the libertarians: "fiscal conservative, socially liberal"

At least that was their 2016 campaign. Honestly, kind supprised there are so few people supporting that stance, when literally your choices are spend like crazy on defense or spend like crazy on welfare.

I don't actually recall a time where the budget was better under Republicans. Often they will even blatently say "tax cuts" and / or "defense spending". I don't believe they claim it will be better either...
Hand-harvesting data is a perfectly legitimate solution, although it comes with a steep initial cost and an ongoing maintenance cost. However, this enables the data to be curated and validated.

For this, they wanted to accurately capture the exact rules each site uses, which makes sense to do out-of-band -- ahead of time, and validated by humans -- than to try to discover from the site dynamically, especially because the latter solution, in a world without sites making their own requirements available in a programmatically readable format, would have been complex and brittle.

In a program, this sort of data may be hard-coded directly in the code, or dynamically loaded from config files. That's largely an implementation detail.
They can see it, but they consider hypocrisy and corruption as just par for the course when it comes to government. Its the reason they are anti-government and want to "starve the beast". The democrats running people like hillary do nothing to dissuade them from this notion.

They also will put up with a lot to keep their white chrisitan pro-gun anti-abortion culture in control. But this is becoming less of an issue.

The democrats have a huge opportunity here to make their party inclusive of all the lower and middle class, abandon anti-gun and identity politics, and run candidates who are trustworthy. But the old guard democrats are still have a huge amount of power.
Nice, haha! I'll address your comments in a follow-up diff! Thanks!

If you believe that aging and death is a natural part of life that we should passively accept and are thus opposed to the work done by the SENS Foundation, I encourage you to read the Fable of the Dragon Tyrant by Nick Bostrom: https://nickbostrom.com/fable/dragon.html

Life extension remains a currently a critically underfunded part of medical research, primarily due to the social attitudes towards it.

I found it lowered our server cost incredibly for a high volume read heavy site. It allowed us to scale in response to increased traffic (not instantly that's a lie, spikes in the thousands of requests a second are not handled well, but over a few minutes it catches up without issue) and not have to provision and spin up servers. We were constantly over provisioned before and now it's a much lower but moving margin.
At a previous gig we used some shared office spaces like WeWork on occasion and they were "ok". We decided to stop because it just didn't make financial sense in the end.

It turns out that renting a decent-sized office in most metros and furnishing it isn't all that expensive. It's really only in bizarre markets like SF or NYC where they really click.

My thinking is that they work much better for companies in the 1 or 2 person early stage and quickly stop making sense as you near some number approaching 10 people.
I think it's a really hard business -- I talked to the guys at Spring awhile back, and investors in that company and they were very bullish on their prospects given Sprig controlled the whole chain (supply and price thereof) vs places that just deliver food.

But after talking with some people who used the service, the feedback was that the food was just "okay" -- and at least in SF, you're competing with the endless supply and diversity of great delivery food via services like eat24 e al...

And given the economics -- it's hard to find a price point that works as a business; with the overhead of food prep and delivery, then people don't really want to pay $15 for just average delivery food.
Across almost all kingdoms of life, death is a common denominator. It is how a species is able to evolve over time and keep up with a dynamic landscape.

Death is very healthy at the species level.
I disagree. By definition, if it's gibberish no amount of human-level understanding of language will be able to glean meaning from it. You cannot extract meaning from random noise. This is better than random noise; in fact it's way better than what Google Translate used to manage a decade ago.

It's not gibberish. It's just very bad quality. But it helps me extract the meaning, which is not that far from what I do with some of the emails I receive in my day job -- trust me!

What would you do with more years added to your life? Probably spend it glued to your phone like the years you have now.
I think it helps to list out the core value of your idea and the easiest way you can test out that it actually brings value to your end-user/customer.
Alongside of that, you should have assumptions/hypothesis surrounding your idea that can be tested/validated out in the cheapest, quickest way that brings measurable results.

Buffer Box is a great example of a startup that tested out their idea cheaply and quickly: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/bytes/e/part-1-the-bufferbo...

TLDR; BufferBox was one of the first "Amazon Locker"-services. The problem they solved was "missed deliveries". So they tested (cheaply, quickly and easily) their concept by posting posters everywhere on their college campus promoting a way for people to not miss their deliveries (students always missed deliveries due to classes and this was before the days of Amazon where they just dropped packages in your front door). Students signed up would put in Buffer Box's address and would get their items/products/packages delivered from a team member of Buffer Box. This helped Buffer Box validate there was a need for their service, and that their product ("Buffer Box") would be needed.

Tax cuts may have not generated more revenue in Kansas, but there is definitely something to the theory that lowering taxes can generate more revenue. As the Laffer Curve predicts, maximum government revenue exists at a tax rate above 0% (no taxes) and below 100% (no reason to work). Determining that maximizing rate is the trick. If your tax rate is below the maximizing rate, then raising taxes would generate more revenue. But if your tax rate is above the maximizing rate, then lowering taxes would actually generate more revenue for the government.

They're using questions on stack overflow as a proxy for popularity. It's entirely possible that a decline in questions is due to a mature library of already answered questions on stack overflow, not a decrease in actual rails usage.

If the interest rate on this borrowed money is lower than inflation it makes perfect sense to borrow money as the money that will be used to pay the loan off in the future will be worth less and less.
If I understand correctly from the abstract, the task they measured was done inside an MRI scanner, and was a different task from the training games. I know that it's been a question for a while now whether any of this training transfers to anything else, so it makes sense that that's what they would be studying.
There's lots of mature, successful sites using Rails. I'm a devops engineer for one, and although it's a magnet for technical debt, this firm has done a pretty good job of keeping it from getting out of hand.
Note that Bill Beaty is not saying he witnessed the effect in person, or otherwise staking any claim to its validity. Multiple people at 3M claim they observed it in the 1980s, and Bill is just speculating on possible explanations.

It's true that we understand electrostatics qua electrostatics very well. But it's not all that crazy or controversial to suggest that the intersection of electrostatics with other fields from material science to meteorology still holds some surprises.

Apropos of oddities surrounding products from the 3M company, we thought we understood X-rays pretty well, too, and then someone discovered that they're emitted when you peel off some Scotch tape.
I'm generally a fan of Carl Zimmer. I liked his book on parasites quite a bit, but I also think it's important to bring up the context of how epigenetics have been repurposed for ideological battles when they're brought up in highly shared pop science articles.
I mean, the Republicans have been claiming to be "the party of fiscal responsibility". Lying may be common in politics, but are we really at the point we just give up and stop even commenting on it?

Also, while the Democrats may have still run a deficit, they were reducing it. It's not good, but to claim equivalence seems counter-productive. Claiming they "bloated" the budget when they cut the deficit (roughly) in half (not accounting for inflation) seems to be straight up misleading.

Not to even start with how that money is being spent/where it comes from (or not, as the case may be).
What’s the point of government having a great budget if your own bottom line sucks?
I disagree that they're difficult to retain and use. I've learned how to use both sets of shortcuts, as I sometimes move between macOS, Linux (Ubuntu), and Windows. Regardless, macOS shortcuts are my favorite.

In my experience, shortcuts are more consistent on macOS than on Linux and Windows.

When I first tried macOS I thought its shortcuts were the worst thing ever. But after giving it a genuine try for a few weeks, I immediately fell in love with em.

You can find the macOS shortcuts on the Mac keyboard shortcuts [0] support page. If you're interested in more details, you can learn about the guiding principles by reading the Human Interface Guidelines Keyboard article [1].

Even if you disagree with some of their design decisions, I'd still highly recommend reading through their Human Interface Guidelines articles. It's an amazing resource.

I don't think we should passively accept aging or death, but I'm not sure if life extension is underfunded, or how you would even demonstrate that.

Many different areas of research, such as cancer research, could fit under the umbrella of "life extension."
Earlier this week there was a post on this site about the definition of death vs brain death. That article pointed out that many doctors oppose any questioning of the idea of brain death = death for at least partly economic reasons: taking care of braindead patients uses up greatly needed resources. (in fact, the article mentioned that the proposal of such a definition was based on medical care facilities growing full of braindead people)

I wonder, if the idea were more mainstream, if life extension funding on a large scale would be opposed by similar arguments: 'we as a society can't afford to have everyone live a lot longer, so we should put our resources towards other medical pursuits.'

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16262046
>> If you believe that aging and death is a natural part of life that we should passively accept and are thus opposed to the work done by the SENS Foundation

This seems like a very weird thing to be opposed to. I can see a personal disagreement with life extension, usually rooted in religion, but to oppose research in this area?

I guess there's all sorts of people.
Find the entry point of the program then go from there. Use grep for function calls or event listeners. Get some background of the framework used, if there's any. Skim the issue tracker to add more perspective.
Abolishing natural death may be desirable, but there's no question it would mean dramatically less children in the world. Instead of new minds and new experiences, human society would be dominated to an even greater extent by old minds and their established patterns.

In Bostrom's "Fable of the Dragon Tyrant", note the line spoken by the aged king at the end:
"Today we are like children again."

When the dragon is vanquished, the old are children again – but they're also the last children.
This is true, no question about it. But humanity is exempt from a lot of basic ecosystem analyses given our position in the world today. People act like this isn't the case, but it very clearly is; no combination of species has the impact that we do on our environment and the other species on the planet.

Well if you look at the last 30-40 years. Republicans talk about improving economy, lowering taxes and small government the deficit balloons up. Democrats talk about increasing healthcare, other social services and increasing taxes the deficit comes down and the economy actually improves.
Correct. Ratchet-spending social entitlement programs are responsible for the structural deficit, now and into the future. Getting agreed on this mathematical fact will be the work of patriotic centrist Americans for the next twenty years.
