I think you need senior _technology_ people from day one, if you want to build to scale, and you don't really want to pay to build everything twice _and_ pay for extreme server costs _and_ pay to migrate from the old to the new system.

Maybe this means something different than "Heavy Hitters". I've never run a huge company division; I prefer to work in a startup environment, and except for a short stint at Amazon, that's where I've stayed. But I have been able to step into small companies as an interim CTO and turn their technology from a mess that won't scale and that was written by junior developers into something that will scale cleanly from day one.

And I typically do this by throwing away most of what was there to begin with and rebuilding from the ground up. Most junior devs just don't have good architecture and design in their blood like a strong senior developer. Which means there's 2-3x extra work to prevent the current system from dying or failing during the transition process ("Changing the tires while driving at 60MPH").

If instead you have someone like me drive the project from the start, when the project is _finally_ seeing traction you can focus on adding features your customers are demanding and pivoting if necessary. And you don't end up hemorrhaging money by paying for 50x as many servers as you would need if you'd start with a strong architecture.

And the funny thing? Hiring a strong dev early on will likely get you to a working product much sooner than several junior devs, and you overall save money due to launching sooner. So it's a huge win. And a lot of the time, founders _are_ junior devs (I've been coding for 30 years; anyone with less than five years is junior, from where I sit, and a decade is bare minimum to be "senior").

But everyone wants to cut costs and hire the $10/hour developers, or the green developers fresh out of college. And now articles like this are being written that imply that you shouldn't even hire a "heavy hitter" until some vague criteria have occurred...

Well, good luck with that. You might be able to pivot and improve your technology in time. Or you might end up going the way of Friendster, pissing off your user base because your site keeps failing, and by the time you have it working reliably, they've all left. [1] Or maybe the fact that they left allowed it to work reliably? Hard to say.

It's not poverty. It's stress. Poverty is very stressful. Any kind of stress stops people from acting the way they normally would be inclined to act. It takes a lot of conditioning and practice to deal with stress without having it impact you and your performance.

Take a little stress off your staff, and instantly everyone starts making better decisions, their work seems more focused. As a manager, the best thing I can do for my team is try and shield them from scope creep, angry clients, and unreasonable deadlines. And make sure everyone has time off when they need it.

Take care of your team, team will take care of the work.

You're misunderstanding the question they've posed people.

In either situation, the question is "is half an hour of transit worth $50 to you." Whether it's $50 saved on a $300 item or a $1000 item has no impact on the $ saved per minute.

I grew up relatively poor in the U.S. under wildly different family circumstances, but I felt myself nodding to the solutions and approaches of both your mother and yourself -- some out of recognition, some out of familiarity.

I've found it almost impossible to enumerate the ways in which growing up poor wildly alters your mindset about money. It's literally mind altering and often nonsensical or hard to explain to people who haven't been through it.

My wife, who grew up in a fairly wealthy household (to parents who themselves escaped crushing poverty), has tried to train me to avoid many of those instincts now that I myself am in good financial status. But I still take a weird kind of comfort at least browsing local thrift stores, figuring out what we'd absolutely need in case of a major bankruptcy or working over scenarios on how to survive and get housing if we lost everything.

The industries that prey on the poor basically exist because they've managed to use these instincts against the poor rather than trying to get people out of poverty. They've always been there, but I'm afraid that they've become much more sophisticated at extracting pennies from people with mere dollars.
Not really. There is the notion of opportunity cost. 30' might be worth your time, unless investing that time, either working, or even resting, paid you back e.g. > $50. If you expect yourself to make less than $50 an hour (assuming you have to drive back (?), otherwise $100) then that would be a good deal. It depends on your model of course. After some point spending 30' to get $50 off is crazy, if you are struggling to make time for your family.

Either the article does a poor job describing the research, or I find it somewhat incomplete. I mean there is an inherent misconception that $1000 item/asset is much much better than a $300 equivalent. I am curious how that affects the valuation between different groups of individuals.
It's also mental. When I was poor and finally got a "student" class credit card, i knew paying off the month's bill was the best option economically, i still could not get around the idea of giving up all my "cash" (money in the bank) to pay off the debt. Even though i could have simply paid off and then should something come up, use the zero balance credit card. No, i still wanted cash available. Knowing this was not the logical option.
I thought it was fine
Almost as bad as web devs forgetting how to use the HTML <image> tag.
she will treat her time as unlimited in finding similar quality goods for less money

It is interesting you say this. I have a friend who struggles to get by. Single mom, two kids, a father who does the absolute bare minimum to provide support to his kids, and she is unemployed.

She does get support from the state (rent assistance, energy assistance, SNAP), but it is barely enough to squeak by and what little money is left over is quickly consumed with unexpected expenses.

With that said, I find she spends an exorbitant amount of time searching for "deals". It is not far-fetched for her to spend 2-3 hours to save a $1 on something. While apps like ebates, ibotta, etc.. have made these quick deals better, they still don't cut down on the time she spends. With the apps she spends just as much time searching through the deals or trying to find the best store to get something.

While it can be frustrating at times as a third-party sitting back watching her do this, I can somewhat sympathize. The most frustrating part to me is that she will sometimes say that there is not enough time in the day to get things done. I try to convey to her that at some point time is money. Meaning that she needs to evaluate the opportunity cost of saving a dollar versus spending 2-3 hours to save that dollar.
I think it's easy to have a takeaway like "you will make money if you are profitable enough per user", but this depends a lot on how good your targeting is, and just how compelling your product & ad are.
I made it up just then. It's where you are so smart but so uninformed that you unknowingly reinvent past results. Sadly, Ramanujan didn't have access to a lot of resources, so he spent a lot of time deriving results that already existed. Fortunately, it's not a complete tragedy because he used novel methods.

Ask HN: A database collecting potential fraud and scam reports?
As an entrepreneur and occasional seller, I knew many risks associated with online buying/selling. Although there are different measures to protect buyers if there were any wrongdoing or fraud, small and medium sellers are at disadvantage and often, they must write off the loss or pass it on to the next customers.

I believe the best way to balance out the table is collecting enough data so the risk can be evaluated in the future. My concern is whether people will appreciate the existence of such database and if there are other entrepreneurs out there currently doing the same thing or interested in such project?
Never host arbitrary user-uploaded files on your site. Put them in a sandboxed domain (e.g. per-user-random-string.<yourdomain>-userdata.com).

Being able to upload arbitrary files has enabled many many web security bypasses, with the result ranging from xss to csrf.
I think it's certainly possible; depending on your subject niche, you may even be able to cultivate a rapport with academics in the field you are interested in. For the sake of discussion, let's say you enjoy pastry filling optimization.

Reach out to those academics who study pastry filling optimization at a variety of institutions. Most won't get back to you, as a professor/academic's day job is busy and requires more than simply conducting research. This isn't out of malice so much as an accident. Heck, some professors I am taking classes with miss my emails!

Eventually you'll build up a relationship with a few who have returned your emails (or Twitter DMs). At this point, you could suggest collaborating on a paper together. Most will probably decline, but there is a nonzero amount of academics more than willing to collaborate with anybody, given they know you have your wits about you. That is, so long as you don't come across as a pastry filling optimization crank. :)

The MTK SoCs have an embedded boot ROM which is really read-only and can't be modified, short of physical damage; and it has enough code to act as a USB device that their flashtool can communicate with. It boots into this "download" mode if it can't find a valid partition on the eMMC or the power button is held down while being plugged into USB.

It makes me wonder how the other popular smartphone SoC platforms handle this "initial format/install", because the internal storage is certainly going to have nothing on it, not even a bootloader, when first manufactured.

You're still treating people as collectives rather than individuals. As I said, that's a fundamentally corporatist ideology.

If regions and states and cities are the appropriate level of analysis rather than individual human beings, then why not professions? Shouldn't we worry about the limited number of actuaries having their voices drowned out by the many more retail workers? Why not give actuaries disproportionate political power to prevent them from being "steamrolled"? And how about race? Aren't you worried about African-Americans being steamrolled by the many more Caucasian people? Shouldn't they be given disproportionate legislative power too? Also, religious minorities. Why not have disproportionate political power for Jews and atheists so as to insure that they aren't steamrolled by all the Christians?

Lest you think this is some argumentum ad absurdum, such as a system does exist. In Hong Kong:

> The legislature is a semi-democratically elected body comprising 70 members, 35 of whom are directly elected through five geographical constituencies (GCs) under the proportional representation system with largest remainder method and Hare quota, while the other 35 are indirectly elected through trade-based functional constituencies (FCs) with limited electorates.

> In the political systems of Hong Kong, a functional constituency is a professional or special interest group involved in the electoral process. Eligible voters in a functional constituency may include natural persons as well as other designated legal entities such as organisations and corporations.

If you want to argue for that, go ahead. But don't pretend that there's something special about geography minorities that means that liberal democracy and corporatism are compatible. They aren't. Rotten boroughs are as undemocratic in the US as they were in the UK. The problem for us in getting rid of them is a combination of self interest and blind worship of the founding fathers.
> growing app development on the "hybrid" stack at Ionic

That is not the metric. Is fast-UI, not how many devs are lazy or don't know how do native.

I invest more than 2 months researching the space this year (after several other times before), and seriously, only iOS is fast enough for html/webview.

Android is SUPER slow. I mean, i get your ionic sample app and run it on my test device. I touch once... and wait a century (sarcasm) for it to respond..

I was in this very boat recently. My LG backup phone got bricked by an OTA. So I was left with a flip phone while waiting.

My requirements were less than 300, stock android realistically two years out of the device. 4.5" to 5", smaller preferable, and a headphone jack. There was almost nothing like this.

I ended up on the google pixel. However, it was difficult as I kept getting Verizon bootloader locked revisions. Despite them being listed as international or gsm unlocked. I finally found one in my upper bracket at 450, 128GB version. Its official support ends in October of this year. I've also read about a ton of hardware issues so I'm hopeful it'll hold out.

Android phones are to me a shit show, to put it mildly. They're good, but not long term. I'm also leary of buying higher ended phones. I've had far to many times where my phone was knocked out of my hand at a bus stop. Then broken screen.

The closest I've seen right now is oneplus or get a last gen pixel.
So I took my dad to the hospital a couple times in his last year or so, and I think the main thing every patient needs but doesn’t necessarily have is someone to do the top-level coordination. There might be a surgeon and a hospitalist and a cardiologist and a neurologist and whoever, but no one is actually in charge. Most hospitalized patients mentally check out—humans don’t do well in captivity—so unless you have a family member advocating for you, you’re kind of fucked. Doctors come and go, but none of them take responsibility for the patient’s overall well-being.

It doesn’t require 24-hour shifts or even a medical degree to do this kind of coordination. I did it and I have no medical training whatsoever. But it was pretty important work, and my dad would have been lost without it.
Heh, if it's the touchscreen I'm thinking of, it's a knockoff of a knockoff - also only has a binary kernel driver.
I'm sure how people deal with stress and difficult situations varies from person to person. My personal story and 2-cents:

When I was 17 I went through a period of near destitute. I was living on my own, my father had passed away, and I had dropped out of school. Yet, I found myself with some very good jobs, such as GE Capital, a big Oil and Gas companies IT department, etc.

Regardless of the opportunity, my arrogance, ambivalence, or immaturity (take your pick) cost me a series of good jobs in short order. The result was I had no money, no electricity, no gas for my car, and not much to do. Eating cold beans out of a can in the dark tends to force you to re-think your priorities.

In my case, I got very motivated very quickly and dug myself out of that hole after a few months. I think that's the point Orrin Hatch was trying to make. If I had a fallback, I would have, without a doubt, kept coasting along from job to job. I've never looked at work or money the same way since as I never want to find myself there again.

So long story short, being poor (by my own doing) didn't necessarily motivate me, but looking into oblivion sure as hell did.
> I mean there is an inherent misconception that $1000 item/asset is much much better than a $300 equivalent.

That's not how I read it -- the authors were not assigning a qualitative value to the items, only a quantitative one. They did not need to be the same 'type' of asset. It was just that when comparing the savings - 50/300 vs 50/1000 - some people considered the ratio more important than the numerator.
"It feels like when you're tinkering with hardware a lot more parts of the brain are challenged and thus generate a more fulfilling experience."

Probably a hardware object strikes more senses than a software for being something you can touch, but also feel the loss of it if it breaks, because you can't copy it just like lines of code.

Let me ask you the question I've tried to get the AMP tech lead to answer a couple of times: Why won't Google hand AMP over to the W3C?

Bear in mind, in discussions with the AMP tech lead, I've discovered AMP4Email isn't even being approached as a standard. Gmail is implementing it as a proprietary fork of email, and the AMP Project is just deciding whether or not they'll support it directly.

It seems to me that Google only submits to the W3C when it needs other browsers to implement something. Whenever Google's monopolies can handle it, they keep it proprietary.
"In OCaml, if you have a value of type `sorted`, you know it's indeed sorted."

Could you expand on this? I'm pretty sure the OCaml compiler isn't sophisticated enough to make guarantees like this - i.e. I could pass in a function that satisfies the interface constraints, but doesn't actually do any sorting.
Sample size = 2.
Agreed. For me, the ad's pacing was too slow and it didn't stoke enough excitement for the candy.
I know such investments still exist - specially in well established brands where a more "classical" marketing approach is still used.

But small companies don't even know how to measure such returns, or can't afford to measure their return beyond sales and analytics data. That's why it will always be a gamble for them, specially like you said, it's not the best place to start.
So what? Do you feel obliged in any way to watch the ads on tv? And yet they pay for the programmes...
Strategic voting is what keeps the status quo alive. As long as we continue to use a first-past-the-post electoral system, it will remain tremendously difficult for third parties to gain traction, no matter their level of funding.
The value of cash liquidity seems deep within much economic activity.

It's what, essentially, Adam Smith railed against in Wealth of Nations, arguing that wealth was not gold and silver (liquidity) but real produce and labour capacity. And yet much present economic theory and practice is only so much neomerchantilism.

This makes me suspect a real foundation, at least psychologically, to the behaviour.
