We are not attacking them, nor are the public health agencies, so hopefully they do not feel the need to defend. Also given we roll reports off the site after 30 days we believe there is less of a concern from that perspective. We are not a permanent record like Yelp or other platforms. Naturally they do have to pay if they want to get any of the features and services we offer to help strengthen their food safety program, but we are presenting ourselves as a partner not an advesary.

I'll believe it when I see positive cash flow being generated through reading a 10-K statement filed with the SEC.

Historically, Tesla has never done this without selling ZEV credits (there were those two quarters it posted a profit but the amount of cash they've burned is many times greater than those two miniscule profits they posted). I say this because selling ZEV credits isn't an advantage, any automaker can do this if they sell vehicles, even if those vehicles are sold at a loss.

From my simple experience:

1. I don't think your pricing is off. Small Businesses pay from $1000 to $5000 to create a very basic WordPress website where they add content themselves.

2. Small Businesses also don't like adding content both to WordPress and Facebook. They have trouble updating the website. The website also occasionally breaks or something happens (hacked). Or the maintenance fee is too high (no less than $300/year)

Here is what I think your problem:

1. Your sale page doesn't sell.

2. You can't easily sell the idea through a sales page. So you may want to assit the customer.

3. The themes that I saw in the videos are ugly as fuck.

4. Does it do a Contact Page? Can I add other pages? Can I add products? etc...

Your users probably want more. You need to be solution (website creator) that has a feature (link facebook content to site). Also you need nicer themes.

It's interesting how different people can have such different expectations.

I personally haven't had any issues finding the books I want, and I find Amazon's suggestion algorithms helpful precisely because it works as you describe. Almost all of my book purchases are made because somebody's recommended a specific book or author to me, or because I'm interested in a specific topic or author and searched for them. In both cases, I'm fine with getting generic suggestions based on the author or topic.
It was a genuine question. I understand where you are coming from. But I wonder how far you have rationalized away from the point that it is you that are the source of the fun, and the other people are in for the ride. Your ride. You are not playing with these people. These people are watching YOU.

First of all, you never send 11111111111. Even one earth when we know the encoding and expected bit rate: long sequences of ones (or zeros) are hard to decode. There are various schemes to encoding so that we never send more than a few.

Second, we send much longer messages. 1111111111 doesn't mean anything, so decoding it as 11111 or 11 or even 1 is all the same. Instead we send very long messages with a lot of things that we believe they know. Maps of every star in the galaxy for instance - presumably they already have their own map. Thus once they think of this idea (which we hope is obvious) figuring out how we encoded it from the vast amount of data isn't very hard. Once they are sure of the encoding they start looking at other parts of the message that don't make sense, but they already have a map of the encoding so they know they have the data right, it is just a matter of understanding it. We start by adding things to the map - they already know it is a map and have a good idea where we sent the message from, so a "we are here" arrow is easy to figure out. Then we add more and more information, each building on the next.

Then after sending all that data we repeat it because they probably didn't even notice it the first 100 times we sent it. The fact that a long sequence that seems random keeps repeating is a very clear sign that the sequence ins't random.

I'm ex-Amazon and no, I'm not being sarcastic.

It's an open question if Amazon will ever be able to raise prices and reap those promised profits without losing marketshare to the many players that would love to take them down.

Right now I view Amazon as a very profitable web hosting company and a retail non-profit.

Google and Microsoft, for comparison, were both much faster to get to monopoly-level marketshare. Amazon, at 24 years old, still isn't there.
I wouldn't say growing organically is completely impossible. However, it's very, very unlikely unless either:

1. You are exceedingly lucky, and your work somehow attracts the attention of a person or organisation who's already famous/has a massive audience. This is how many indie games take off, with examples like Five Nights at Freddy's and what not becoming popular after being played by the likes of Markiplier and PewDiePie.

2. You somehow find a very specific niche that no one else on the planet has decided to compete in and that somehow has a decent sized audience interested in it. This is far less likely than it used to be in the early internet days, but it's still technically possible. One of my own forums is like this, since it's the only site dedicated to a certain video game franchise on the entire internet. Another example may be the likes of Boundary Break on YouTube.

But you're right that it's certainly not a practical way to grow your channel/site/business/whatever, especially as the only way someone can succeed that way is basically through sheer dumb luck.
2nd - this state is over taxes and when they can't tax us more, they levy fees. Like the the 12 cent gas tax for infrastructure projects that have already been paid for, and the increase DMV registration fees for the same. This state is one of the worst for business, which is why so many people and businesses are fleeing the state.

California is the 5th biggest economy in the world. It just surpassed the UK. (http://fortune.com/2018/05/05/california-fifth-biggest-econo...). Despite only having 12% of the US population, it contributed 16% of the total US job growth over the past 5 years. California's GDP went up by $127 billion from 2016 to 2017 alone.

This, despite people fleeing the state. Good riddance--any business that can't stay afloat in California's massive market place without hand-me-outs like tax cuts is a failing business. Hundreds of thousands of other businesses are doing just fine.

>what happens to those tens of millions of people who have no way to provide for themselves and their families?

In our current system of late capitalism, they probably get told to pull up their boot straps and work more/different jobs with no help at all. You won't hear about it on the news, you won't see it in the paper, you won't see it on TV because there are only 5-6 corporations that own almost all media, but people will be struggling and in poverty no doubt. We've been continuously taking away SNAP benefits, taking away medicaid benefits, adding work requirements, and now HUD wants to raise rent on people receiving federal rent assistance. I have absolutely no faith USA will do anything beneficial for its people anymore, only for the benefit of corporations and now with full Republican control we're probably going to see a Lochner Era 2.0.

>Curious to know what you mean by "implementing full employment", given we're about as close to that now as anyone has ever been.

Wages aren't rising because 4.0% unemployment[1] is still 15 million people unemployed, and not all people out of work are included in the official US unemployment numbers. That's a huge reserve of employment that doesn't allow workers to really have any control in their workplace because they have absolutely no job security, and it doesn't allow them to bargain for higher wages. It turns the tables and gives workers control instead of bosses & corporations, it gives the power to the people who do the work.[2]

Wages are actually falling. This shouldn't happen if unemployment is extremely low.[3]

>Most companies aren't that unique in how they execute most processes

As a current "big expensive system" consultant (not for SAP, completely different company and line of work), I 100% agree. Every single client I've worked with has shown me a network diagram and with a grin asked if they're the most unique company I've ever worked with. The answer is almost always no. There's just not that many unique ways to do things, and it always comes down to two or three very similar processes done by two or three very similar pieces of software done in almost exactly the same way that produces almost exactly the same result.

The only thing that sets "unique" companies apart is a lack of culture, or a negative culture. Like you said, bad processes that could be re-engineered into good processes if only the company was able to be honest with itself. Unfortunately changing people and process is harder than changing technology and vendors, so if something doesn't fit perfect you just throw away hundreds of millions of dollars, throw a fit in the press, and never address that your company culture is so inflexible that no major project involving an outside vendor could ever possibly be a success.

They didn't "cheat their" emissions test unless you're lowering the standards for "cheating" because you're running out of witches to burn.

Workers at a factory falsified test data to make it look like cars that didn't pass their internal tests passed. The cars were still complaint with the relevant regulations and the tests are not advertised to customers. Nobody got cheated except Nissan itself. It's like promising your customers 99.99% up-time, considering 99.999% up-time the bar for success internally, delivering 99.99% and then fudging the numbers so that it says 99.999% internally.

I love getting triggered by corporate misconduct as much as the next guy but the Nissan thing was a nothing-burger with a catchy headline.

Edit: Since apparently I'mWrong(TM) can explain to me how the Nissan thing is anything worth paying attention to?
This.

On the one hand, alerting potential customers to genuine cases of food poisoning is a good thing. You can reduce the instances of people getting sick. Great!

On the other hand, you've now created an incredibly easy way for competitors, disgruntled former employees, or anyone who doesn't like a particular restaurant to mount a libellous campaign of false reports. I understand you review reports and look for multiple instances to see if it's more than just one. But it seems it would be incredibly easy to fool any such system with a bit of coordination between a handful of people. And it's their word against the restaurant's; how do you know who is really telling the truth? (and the restaurant may not even know about the accusation until they find out from your app).

Crowdsourcing can sometimes be effective, but there's been numerous examples of it going wrong, and businesses or individuals being unfairly harmed by accusations that turned out to be incorrect. I hope you've got a pretty good team of lawyers to defend yourself in cases where you get the moderation process wrong, bankrupting a restaurant, and leading them to sue you.

I flagged it (as did many readers). I also flag articles about anyone else insulting someone on Twitter, so it's not due to partisanship. I flag them because nothing interesting comes of discussing them.

HN is meant for discussing articles that can spawn interesting conversations (see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html). Interestingness is hard to define exactly, but at least it requires ideas or points of view that typical readers hadn't considered before. The discussion linked above fails on that count.

I empathize with the need for outrage. We all have it. But on a discussion site, outrage tends to take over and crowd out the interesting discussions, so HN is designed to put the wet blanket on outrage fests. Other sites like http://reddit.com/r/elonmusk allow them. If you use both sites judiciously, you can have the best of both worlds -- a place to vent and a place to think.
Of course I don't think that. I'm not even certain I support UBI in general. That's just an argument I found compelling compared to others.

The primitive technology guy doesn't stream, though, as far as I know. He just makes videos.
You need to understand it certainly, in the same way you need to understand the rules of Football to really enjoy watching a game. but I haven't played SC or SC2 in years and I still enjoy watching the streams, in the same way that I've never played a real game of hockey but still like watching the NHL.
Fear is a currency all of its own.
I actually admit, after some digging, you may have a point here. My point was more about market solutions vs big government policy. Solar and Wind typically compete with natural gas for replacement of coal plants. I for one would prefer more solar. I think subsidies for the tech we want to see to reach scale and parity faster is a decent middle ground approach that acknowledges the market forces. The problem is we tend to rip that money away all at once, rather than scale it back VERY gradually.

But there is a way for the primitive technology channel to be monetized. For him to gain recognition, as opposed to him just building his wooden houses in isolation. Without anyone knowing. It is not as if he's unaware of people making millions off of youtube(or being famous, whatever), or the internet. We can't separate youtube no matter how "primitive" the action being filmed is. He may be doing it out of pure love, but if it was true love, why does he feel the need to film it? To help others? Why do any of us need to know how to do this, and how does a video help? He most likely got good at building a log house from building hundreds of shitty log houses from before.

It rarely makes any sense for a large multibillion dollar company to operate a tiny business that has no material impact on its financials. It's like Bill Gates owning a taco truck -- even though it might be a perfectly financially viable taco truck, it's always going to be just a little random thing he has, and pretty much any involvement he has with the truck's operator/management will be disruptive.
Yeah, pretty weird incentives system. It's difficult to filter and sort comments in online communities in
ways that don't lead to such a behavior. But I think people will try to get approval even without any point system.

We fall for Karma points because we crave for external validation and want a feeling of belonging because and although we know that we're ultimately alone in our own brain and reduce those pressing feelings of nothingness using approval.

I think even without a point system, people would try to get approval. The desire is already in us. The environment just mirrors and intensifies this desire, it doesn't cause it IMO.
Except we actually had a functioning federal government during the last gilded age, so we ended up with things like the Sherman Antitrust Act, and eventually the New Deal.

I think it depends a lot on the manner of engagement and the area of life. Most pop stars don't just sell music. They sell themselves as personalities, as icons. This is often true about politicians as well. Much less so for authors and software developers, though; there, what they're offering is generally the work, not themselves.

I think keeping family out of politics is not so much about keeping one area of the public figure's life private as allowing the family members to keep their own lives private. Maybe that line is blurring, but I'm not sure the public is entirely to blame. Politicians often use families as props and even shields, as when the wife literally stands by a philandering politician in the apology press conference. And the Trump administration has actively involved the whole family in governing. So I'm not sure I'd lay changes here at the feet of social media.
> Do you mean to imply that you have zero problem with this?

I really do have zero problem with animals killing and consuming other animals.

> When you watch a big cat torture and eat a prey animal,

I don't think it's fair to say that a big cat 'tortures' a prey animal. I suspect it's practice. Torture to me requires intent that I don't think the big cat has.

> do you not have any sense at all that maybe the prey would prefer that not to happen?

I do have a sense that the prey does not want to die. What they want doesn't really matter though to the carnivore.

> Or that, all else being equal, if the tiger could eat something that doesn’t seem to mind being eaten, that would be at least as good for everyone?

If the world could exist in a different state that had less suffering, that might be good. Not sure what it would cost though.

> But — again, genuinely asking — does the intractability of that problem really force you, personally, to assign zero moral weight to the experience of animals?

I think you misunderstood me, or I failed to explain well. I don't see any moral problem with animals consuming other animals. Killing animals for no reason I would find morally wrong. Killing animals for food I find morally neutral. Reducing sufferring where possible is morally good (whether in raising the animal, or the mechanism of killing the animal), but is separate from actually killing the animal in my opinion.

If you killed an animal painlessly, would there be any moral problem in consuming animals?

> Or do you sincerely just... not care?

I care immensely in making sure animals do not suffer needlessly. I care that animals are well taken care of while they are alive and that they are killed humanely and for a purpose. My livestock has, without question, healthier, more secure and more prolific lives than they would in the wild.
I don't think that Putin cares about money. All he cares about is power. Many people can't tell the difference, but Frank can[1].

How does "fifth largest economy in the world" benefit you if you can't even afford to purchase a house?

"Fifth largest economy" benefits Larry, Sergey, Tim Cook...you, not so much
The three-way split produces 4 new Senators, 2 which would likely be Democrats and 2 which would likely be Republican. That's a wash.

California is not currently gerrymandered as far as house seats. That could change for any the three new states.

The biggest change would actually be the electoral college. Currently California is winner-take-all and reliably blue. If they split it without splitting another large state like Texas, that compounds the current Republican advantage and makes it even easier for a Republican president to be elected while losing the popular vote.

In other words, Draper's ballot initiative is a gerrymander which benefits Republicans. And that's one reason it's going nowhere.
