Buenas preguntas, gracias! Para hacer frente a los costos fijos de transferencia lo que hicimos fue juntar el dinero de la gente en 3 fondos:

- Fondo Mutuo Fintual Risky Norris
- Fondo Mutuo Fintual Moderate Pitt
- Fondo Mutuo Fintual Conservative Clooney

Y asignarle a cada cliente una combinación de estos tres. De esta manera, se pagan comisiones como si fuera un gran cliente. Esto compite muy bien con las alternativas: al menos en Chile estamos listados como la solución retail más económica según El Mercurio Inversiones.

El gran costo inicial que tuvimos que asumir con este approach es el de la regulación, pues como creadores de Fondos Mutuos debemos cumplir con una serie de exigencias, y justamente ahí está la innovación: somos capaces de cumplir con ella sin arrastrar con el costo operativo porque automatizamos casi todos los procesos y la generación de los documentos que requiere la autoridad en nuestro caso no depende de personas.

I just got a new Mazda with a Skyactiv engine. I am really happy with the performance, but wanted to see about adding a turbo. Seems like it's not a good idea to add a turbo to an engine with 13:1 compression. The engine can actually run at 14:1, but they lowered it for the US.

Anyway, Infiniti has a new engine that is variable-compression, so they can run at 14:1 OR 8:1, and they add on a turbo to use at the lower compression. Pretty freaking sweet: https://www.infinitiusa.com/about/technology/vc-turbo-engine...

I think it could be safely assumed that vaporizing nicotine and propylene glycol would lead to some negative health implications. Still, great job by the researchers in building precident.

That being said, I'm personally curious above the health implications of dry herb being vaporized at a controlled temperature, that prevents any combustion, and controls the release of carcinogenic materials like Benzene/ammonia.(produced at around 400 degrees by marijuana vaporization)

Think of a scenario like this: what if one uses a Volcano Vaporizer with dry herb (marijuana). What are the negative health implications there at certain, controlled temperatures? What about the beneficial implications? Do they cancel out?

Or are the negative health implications on par with the sensationalized articles about eating cured meat giving you a whopping 2% overall increased risk of cancer? Basically, I'm very curious if there is a way to drastically reduce the risk of vaporizing with the controlled vaping of dry herbs vs. these e-liquids containing nicotine/other nasty things.
This was a lesson I learned while working on my own game which was a Dwarf Fortress type game (lot of interwoven systems, a lot of complexity). The biggest problem was while I had all these systems sometimes I, the developer who wrote all of it, had no freaking idea why something would occur. As with everything I've learned from a career in software engineering, complexity is always bottlenecked by UX and UI. Without good design and feedback for a user, complexity is either obfuscated to the point of being perceived as worthless or to the point of actually being worthless.

I would argue that the elevator is at least as influential if not more. As I look around from my 9th story office, nearly every building I see and the density provided thereof, would have been impossible without the elevator or something very much like it.

I'd like to add that when you aren't rich enough to own a specialized vehicle for every task you have to cater more toward the edge cases, for most people that interior size and/or higher passenger/cargo capacity than they need on a daily basis. Likewise nobody's gonna make their only car something with a 250mi range and a mandatory 45min break if you're going farther than that because it makes a 150mi round trip something you have to actively plan for (because starting on 50% will be a pain in the butt vs a 10min delay with a liquid fueled vehicle).

Martin Davis:

Leibniz's machine could only do ordinary arithmetic, but he
grasped the broader significance of mechanizing claculation. In
1674 he described a machine which could solve algebraic
equations. A year later, he wrote comparing logical reasoning to
a mechanism, thus pointing to the goal of reducting reasoning to
a kind of calculation and of ultimately building a machine
capable of carrying out such calculations.
Is it possible you are pricing them out of considering it?

It seems difficult for especially large enterprise companies to take a step to pay more for something, even if it seems like it would save them money in the long run in saved time, efficiency, etc. They often move super slow, so them kicking the can down the road is pretty typical IMHO

Curious though if different pricing structure or some other enticement could be made to push a few over that line
Even this expert phrases it in a way that gives an impression that is completely contrary to reality:

> Why is it considered heroic to go to war without questioning the men sending you there?

In the military, it is not your position to question the government. It is your duty to follow orders.

> The war in Iraq was pointless and based on dubious logic which turned out to be a lie.

It was certainly not "pointless". It was based on the following:

- Saddam was a bad actor who hated the US, and would readily provide materiel for use against the US

- Iraq was known to have stockpiles of WMD

- It was thought possible to transform Iraq from a dictatorship to a democracy that appreciated the US

None of those points is in doubt. Aside from a possible nuclear program, Iraq was known to have weaponized anthrax and various chemical agents. Our allies including Britain endorsed the same intelligence.

You might remember the celebrations in Baghdad when the US forces arrive and Saddam fled. Or the jubilation Iraqis showed after voting the first time. Time will tell how things work out in the long run, but it's hard to argue that Iraq is worse off today than it was under Saddam Hussein.

Has everything worked out perfectly? No, but there have been many sub-optimal moves since the war started, including BO pulling out prematurely and on an announced schedule.

> We always had loads of cool ideas, like enemies running out of ammo and throwing clips to each other. But the reality is, the player will never see it.

Sounds like a problem with the particular constraints of the PvE genres you were working in, rather than with games generally.

Imagine an RTS where the player has to work their way up from grunt to strategist, and thus "plays every role" along the way. In that case, the enemy AI is the ally AI; the player experiences the allied side of it, and can use that to understand the enemy side of it, and thus make plans.

I went to columbia business school, where buffet is revered and the value investing program is the most exclusive and sought after program in the curriculum (and arguably one of the few that actually teaches useful skills). they publish a letter called graham and doddsville with articles and stock pitches from modern day value investors.

i didnt do value investing but took some classes and attended some talks, so i am not an expert, but from what i saw, things have changed a lot. it is harder to be a value investor today just because everything is so expensive. just like 50 years ago opportunities to buy businesses for less than book value became harder and harder to find, in today's market it is much harder to find value investments as defined by traditional valuation metrics like EV / EBITDA, ROIC, FCF / earnings yield, etc

Value oriented funds, and long / short equity funds in general, have been having a tough time. Too many funds popped up in the last 20 years and they are all competing for a few good investments. People are changing the definition of "value", though i am not sure if anyone has found a good one. Many people pitched FB and Google as value stocks, even though by traditional metrics they could not qualify as value investments

Bill Ackman, a prominent investor and sponsor of an investing contest that is a major part of the value investing curriculum, said if he was starting today he wouldnt be an investor, but would start a tech company. He wasn't the only HF manager who expressed that sentiment

Then you virtually always still have the opportunity to purchase physical copies of the media you're interested in. It's still at an order-of-magnitude markup over streaming it, but there's little reason to pay that cost upfront if it isn't necessary.
When I was building a price comparison site using Amazon Product Advertising API, I ran into this throttling error frequently: "You are submitting requests too quickly. Please retry your requests at a slower rate."

So, I built a shared cache, so that developers can hit the cache instead of hitting Amazon API every time. That's how I created BrowseNodes. Have you faced the same problem like me? Do you think this will solve the throttling problem for you?

Looking forward to your feedback!
It's not what I'd personally do, but the traditional solution is advertising.

I suspect that OP owns park.io and created this post just to covertly market that website. Signs that point to this:

- it's a completely unnotable example compared to more well-known companies in the comments

- No one else thought to include further promo material like OP's linked interview for the service they answered

- OP's post history contains several failed attempts to promote 5things.xyz with HN submissions (demonstrating a tendency to self-promote)

- After these failed attempts OP made their only meaningful-looking contribution to the HN community by posting 'Ask HN: What are your favorite tech sites besides HN?'

- However, the aforementioned 5things.xyz is a competitor in this space

- And of course, this last post had a commenter answering 5things.xyz in the thread, with the user being registered the same day only to make that one comment, and even being given a random fake-sounding username: https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=syrup89

- However, this shill comment was mostly ignored by everyone, and this failure apparently prompted OP to include their promoted answer in the body of their Ask HN post instead this time

Edit: My comment got downvoted twice within one minute of posting (:
The way you sell it seems pretty effective. Do you have any "big boy" clients yet?
Because the linguistic convention is inadequate and misleading.

For a counterexample, look at the use of the word "privilege", a new definition introduced to the lexicon to explain one of the expressions of prejudice in society. (If you're already poising fingers over keyboard in angry rebuttal, stop and listen.) Privilege is conceptually very simple - it is the absence of discrimination. The absence of racism, or of sexism.

Yet the very term arouses righteous fury, to be even mentioned in the presence of many privileged people. Just watch the rebuttals this comment will draw for examples.

So to my original point, if you introduce new language to describe the prejudice + power concept, it will be vociferously attacked by those who do not face prejudice + power in their daily lives.

Likewise, if you more precisely define an existing word from this world - say, racism - it is also vociferously attacked, by the same people.

And attacking the very language being used to describe the problem is part of the problem.

Game consoles are frequently subsidized by the manufacturers who make back a certain amount of money in a licensing fee per game.

Because game consoles are all the same (or come in a limited number of configurations, for instance there are three kinds of XBOX One) it is also easier for developers to make the most of the machine.

Yip. In my opinion this is the real future of blockchains. There are even incredible possibilities like connecting decentralized services to create new businesses. Imagine a digital farmers' market that directly connects consumer to farmer using our decentralized vehicle transport service.

Only problem is that this/these sort of project(s) would entail an enormous amount of energy and effort to develop. And then you'd also need to ensure you have sufficient marketing clout so it doesn't just lay dormant. And then in the end it's a completely decentralized system. The idea of a creator sitting around skimming money off every transaction is not really part of this picture.

So it's not really the most enticing of projects to take on. Big investment, minimal personal reward. On the other hand, I think it will happen - eventually. We just need another Tim Berners-Lee type individual. Except preferably one that happens to be a brilliant engineer, salesperson, and billionaire.

The model I really dig right now is "unlimited subscription for creative work." Such as manypixels.co, for graphic design and illustrations. Or even the Podscriptor transcription service ($10 per episode in 24 hr).

And though you can probably edit such a service down to a minimal quantum creative task. There's no shortcut to getting web-scale distribution.

Best of luck ;)

Looks like most of that list is a non-starter due to extremely low range (yes, 40 mile sounds good in theory, until you realize these are lead-acid batteries that should not be deep discharged, realistically this is a 20-mile range)

Those scooters should come with lighter Li-Ion systems and at least a 50 mile charge.

The only thing that looks moderately attractive there is the Onyx RCR in terms of range and speed, but what's worrisome is that it doesn't seem to be built for the speeds it's advertised for. I'd be scared to go over 30mph on something that looks like that.
regarding the digital signage: BYD probably doesn't make the signs or even choose them. it is usually chosen by the purchaser, based on compatibility with whatever on-board computer and software they've chosen. they should, however, be customizing the body to fit the customer's aftermarket hardware because every bus order is bespoke.

I used to work at a 4 wheel drive shop in a previous life- there are likely more modified diesel trucks out there than you think. The idiots that purposely modify trucks to 'roll coal' are a minority compared to owners who have bypassed pollution controls for increased reliability and fuel economy. A truck with the EGR bypassed or DPF removed spews more particulate than stock, but this isn't visually apparent. Most of the smoke from rolling coal is unburned fuel in the exhaust gas, this phenomenon seemed to be mainly restricted to younger people, especially oil field workers.

I know this is anecdata, but at least in CO, UT, WY area there are more modified trucks than what is immediately apparent, since often a truck w/ bypassed emissions equipment isn't heavily cosmetically modified.
