Ask HN: Reporting structure for a three-product startup?
A startup I work with is splitting its product into three, each of which will have around 10 people working on it, consisting of engineers, one PM and one designer. Plus there'll be a senior PM and a senior designer for the company as a whole.

The question is what reporting structure makes sense for this company.

The founder believes in a PM-led org, so each PM will be the main decision-maker in that team. So one option is to formalise this by having the engineers and designer in each team report to the respective PM. You probably don't want the formal authority to diverge from the real one.

The alternative is a functional structure, with all engineers reporting to a head of engineering, all designers reporting to the head of design, and so on. The founder is not in favor of this because he (and I) believe that people should be aligned based on the business outcomes they're supposed to be working towards, rather than the skills they happen to bring to the table.

What other factors or aspects enter into this decision, and how should we think about them?
(a) it isn't clean energy, generally;

(b) setting up the infrastructure to produce clean energy is not purely clean itself.

Until you can account for every last gram of toxic solvent, mine tailings, electricity consumed during manufacture, and CO2 produced during transport from e.g. solar panels, it's not entirely clean. It's just better than the alternative. Not using the energy is always cleaner.

Yes, the paperwork is hidden from you, but its present, the hospital still needs a way to obtain funds from NHS, see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_England - "The National Health Service (NHS) is free at the point of use for the patient though there are charges associated with eye tests, dental care, prescriptions, and many aspects of personal care."

Please note that you basically listed two exceptions (plus other Nordic companies), most of EU countries have a system that combines private insurance companies with a combination of public, semi-public and completely private health providers.

How to optimize your product to increase user retention
As someone who generates a lot of waste - environmental responsibility just doesn't factor into my consumption decisions.

I work from home so I have the A/C set to be fairly cold. I enjoy a specific brand of bottled water. A major online retailer sells this water cheaper than my local store. I drive a car that gets about 15mpg because I enjoy driving it. I generate approx 13 gallons of trash per day. This is mostly shipping materials and grocery packaging.

All of these examples are the direct consequence of prioritizing myself. There simply has to be a stronger (perhaps economic) incentive that will change the behavior of people like me.
Show HN: Feedpresso – RSS based smart news reader for techies
Hi all,

since there are lots of discussions happening about news consumption, I would like to show you a project that I am working on - Feedpresso.

https://www.feedpresso.com/

It focuses on content for techies and entrepreneurs so you can expect to get some interesting stuff right away.

However, it is not a regular RSS reader - it heavily relies on algos to find exciting stories based on your reading history, from your sources. Also, it includes some abstractions over sources to make using RSS more natural.

Give it a try. If there is an interest, I would gladly share some discounts with the community.
You'd run for higher ground, just like if any dam broke. There's plenty of places where people are going to be in big trouble if some big dam suddenly bursts. How often does that actually happen though? Never. That one in California didn't suddenly burst, it broke down and caused flooding, but not in one giant cataclysm; people were able to evacuate just fine. We have many dams out there, many quite old, that work just fine. Look at the Hoover Dam for instance; it's over 80 years old now I think.

By your logic, no one should go into a skyscraper: what would happen if it suddenly collapsed? But that never happens.

It's funny how the people here are sort of flocking to the alternative: having regulated privacy guarantees.

Of course Google is only implementing RCS here. That would be the agreed (with governments & telcos) standard, the result of regulation. Needless to say, it totally exposes everything to government, and to telcos, and to "interoperability providers" (which Google would be). It is strictly worse than Google when it comes to privacy. I think it includes more than just their chat messages, it seems to include things where you'd be like "why does this need to be part of chat ?" like location.

And it comes with a little something for telcos that I doubt anyone here will like : per-message billing. On the plus side: it will work without a data subscription (I think). On the minus side: per-message billing, with or without data subscription.

So the net effect is that people are being deceived - by amnesty no less - into pressuring Google and governments to expose more of their private information to more parties.

Unfortunately what this does mean is that Google is now caving to government demands - full exposure of everyone's information all the time, without any reason or oversight. Not just to the government, but because the government is also incompetent and can't be bothered to actually store these or make them searchable, they demand you also give all telcos access to it (who will then store it and make it accessible to government agents), and we all know most of those telcos will outsource actually doing this, because they're government monopolies.
>You won't be allowed into China if you do.

My understanding is that you have to just check your free speech at the door. For example my immpression is that specifically you, auganov, even if this profile is under your real name, would be allowed into China without any issue. (Despite what you've just written.)

The standard I've heard said is that "you wouldn't be able to stand in Tiananman square with a 'Free Tibet' sign". To those of us in the free world, that's a ridiculously stifling standard. You can stand in Washington or Times Square with a sign reading whatever you want, 'it's a free country'. China, obviously, isn't. You can't use the standard "hey, it's a free country" because it's not.

But this does not extend to your speech outside of China. Trying to bring your free speech into China seems (to me), on a practical level, like trying to bring your heroin, cocaine, and guns in your carry-on to America. Can't do that (and there would be serious consequences.)

But that doesn't mean you can't have ever touched a gun, cocaine, or heroin in your life, it's not retroactive. To prove my case, let me say that Taiwan is an independent country, Tibet doesn't belong to China, and, hmmmm what else don't they like. Oh Xi is a dictator for wanting to be President for life.

I wouldn't ever say any of those things if I'm in China, even in English, even on an international forum, because I would have checked my free speech at the border. On a practical level state oppression is a huge private business. When you're in China you're not free, even in your mundane online speech, such as in private messages in wechat. People pay attention to watching what they say, on an everyday level.

But to return to my point, it doesn't mean you wouldn't be allowed in China if you expressed your thoughts previously in the free world.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I've heard an exception for journalists, in the sense that their previous speech is examined more closely, but I don't know if they're refused entry or just watched more closely once there.

I’ll tell why you should not worry about that. Google rules over your choices in search for more then 10 years and you only benefit from that. You are not a human for Facebook or Google, you are commodity, your attention is commoditized. This is what you probably sacrifice as a human to GooF, but its your choice. And since you act freely by choosing GooF, you should not worry. Your freedom is impaired.
I think you misread it.

Thanks for sharing this.

I found it difficult to parse the initial couple of lines because I was constantly attempting to read by attaching meaning to the spellings: "Eye halve" is a bit frightening in that sense. But then I realised I can read the text as sounds and almost ignore the spellings. Listening to what the sounds made in my head allowed for a much faster pace of comprehension because I didn't have to keep correcting myself.

This poem demonstrated for me that it is possible to read and listen simultaneously, and that I don't usually do that. It seems that it would probably add to the experience of other poems to read them in this manner.
While I agree on a functional outlook, you're going to have a hard time generally making efficient, deterministic parallel programs, particularly distributed ones.

>and not superkuhbit6g4tfr4.onion

You mean superkuhbit6g4tf.onion. Although longer Tor based address hashes are coming soon for better security (https://blog.torproject.org/tors-fall-harvest-next-generatio...) so the trailing length of random chars will be even longer. Kind of mitigates my objection.

Still, Tor hidden services come with DoS/DDoS protection built in as well. Something Cloudflare and it's centralized service doesn't like to acknowledge.

> "...ISO delegates expressed distrust and concerns that the U.S. agency could be promoting encryption technology it knew how to break, rather than the most secure."

That was my first thought as well, but the article doesn't go into detail about the encryption plan. Are the encryption schemes all-new? Is the talk of a plan vague or are specific products or code bases being suggested?

The fundamental question to me is whether IoT encryption is something relevant to national security. I think the lack of encryption is and that's why the NSA wants to see security shored up.
I'd say electric buses are simpler: they're larger, and traditionally the "coachbuilt" structure gives plenty of space in the frame to put batteries while also potentially allowing the use of the same bodies as the diesel buses. They also don't have to be as fast.

It's important to understand the it's not the bank that lend you the money to buy your house, at least not directly. You home is financed by bonds, issued by a sort of credit union. Investors then buy those bonds, pensions funds for instance. The Danish housing marked is extremely stable, so it's a safe place to put your money. So some investors will be willing to take a small lose on buying bonds in homes, in return for safety.

I am immediately suspicious of this because HTTP/2 only operates over HTTPS. So for them to market this webserver as being special because it defaults to HTTP/2 over HTTPS is the sort of thing a snake oil vendor would do.

Also completely unfond of the license. "Caddy is amazing because it has 3 line config files!" So what? That's only appealing to people who are afraid of editing config files. Here's a harsh reality for the developers (who probably won't see this, ah well), but "config files" are not worth $25/mo or whatever the full scale commercial costs of this are. Do the developers think that their target audience are incapable of configuring traditional webservers?

Just because you pour your blood sweat and tears into a thing doesn't mean that thing is worth any money.

Not any less crazy than being in a monetary union where you do not control your own currency or inflation and where the body who does (ECB) is technically outside of the political system and out of reach of both the national and EU electorates.

Essentially because of the above what you call crazy is the only option for those countries to survive.

When you can’t make yourself cheaper than Germany because of the Euro the only way of making yourself appear cheaper is through tax breaks.
I feel like this focus on FB and Google is a misdirection campaign being run by the media conglomerates who are tied in with many of the service providers. Comcast, Verizon, etc. love keeping the public eyes off of them while them suck up our viewing and visiting information. Also, if FB and Google take a hit and can't be the incumbent ad and marketing platforms then the providers will become enriched as advertisers flock to them. The providers hate competition. Just look at all the selection and competition we don't have.

Yes, it's important to know what FB and Google are doing but I think it's hurting us by not focusing on ALL companies.

> actual lives lost due to gross misallocation of public funds.

The US already makes gross under-allocation of public funds with the result of lives lost, but since that relates to healthcare and homelessness it seems hard to get anyone to care.
An ingenious thesis but I'm not at all convinced. In particular, I don't see anything there that looks like the journalist is trying to provoke "a sense of animosity towards the interviewee".

Let's take the bit you quote. The first thing we learn about Powers, after the fact that he doesn't like the car he's driving, is that he (1) took the trouble to pick the journalist up from the airport, and then (2) apologized to the journalist for something minor that wasn't even his fault, (3) in a humourous way. We're told that Powers is "a good environmentalist". Most of us, especially readers of this sort of thing, are likely to feel good about that, but it might suggest a certain sanctimoniousness and car-hostility ... so the next thing we get to see is Powers appreciating a fine old motor vehicle, and making friendly conversation with his neighbours in the process.

I'm really not seeing what's meant to make me feel a sense of animosity here.

Here's another paragraph from the article, pretty much the only one that's wholly occupied with description of Powers.

"Powers may strike dissonant notes about his novels’ public image, but in conversation he never resorts to fanfare. Still charmingly lanky at 60, with a boyish face just starting to pay a debt to aging, he articulates his views with an intelligence so free of self-importance that you wonder if there’s something wrong with his wiring. He listens patiently and respectfully, then dazzles with quiet authority."

Charming. Youthful. Intelligent. Humble. Patient. Respectful. Dazzling. Authoritative. I guess you might describe someone that way if you were hoping to make your audience hate them out of jealousy, but I really don't get that impression from the article.

Pretty much everything else there seems to me like it puts Powers in a positive light, too.

So I can kinda buy claim 1 and maybe claim 2. Claim 3, though? Not so much.

1491 by Charles Mann goes into this a bit. Some estimates put the die-off of aboriginal North Americans at 90% from the arrival of Europeans (in ~1500) and the early permanent settlements (Jamestown was in 1607).

The first descriptions of what's now the US east coast from explorers describe coastlines lined with fires as far as the eye could see, and suggested a fairly densely populated continent.

The descriptions from the early settlers (as you've noted) describe a loosely populated land of "savages".

I've always considered the 16th century a time of essentially apocalypse for North America. Imagine what would happen to our society if we had a 90% die-off over 100 years; even in the modern era we would probably find ourselves regressing to "savagery".

The whole question of Cloud A vs Cloud B vs on-prem is exactly why I think containerization and the use of Docker and Docker orchestration makes these questions somewhat irrelevant because you can deploy the same containers to both clouds (as well as on-prem), even at the same time.
