For anyone pondering minimal/unbloated window managers, checkout cwm [0][1]. I've been using it exclusively for quite some time now. It's quick to compile, has sane configuration and is the most ergonomic floating wm I've used. I don't see myself ever needing anything else, provided I don't see myself using a tiled wm.

This is really great. I've been worried that Valve might drop their linux support that was only really there in the first place to spite microsoft for the app store. I don't think they'll ever succeed in getting 10%+ steam users over to linux but damn am i glad that they are doing it anyways
I hope such games are marked in the store to differentiate them from games made by developers who actually make an effort to support Linux. Relying on a shim made by Valve to support a game on an OS that developers did not target sounds like a recipe for a really bad, unstable time. I'd also rather not give money to developers who make a decision not to support Linux.

Wouldn't a credible commitment to rapidly building more housing itself crack down on speculators?
I would have to disagree: it’s probably different in the US, but I worked for a start-up that decided to go through international expansion (12 countries at once) after Series B: that the CFO knew about nuances of VAT in each country was key to lower the burn rate.

I’m seen many people from the companies that I listed, some who joined very early, some who joined after they had more than 100M raised, have the right experience to start a company, or join early.

My point is not that those people are essential, or even that their are a majority at big companies; my point is that, with people who can justify several significant failures and success, especially public ones like accelerators and major companies, you have stronger signal, more trust and one could interpret larger rounds as a sign of institutional progress.

> For example, the "lottery economy" aspect (where there is one company that ends up dominating a market and the size of that company is dictated only by the size of the market) comes from zero marginal costs: once a software firm has built a solution that satisfies a market, there is nothing stopping it from expanding to serve the whole market far faster than any competitor can enter.

I'm not sure what you mean, this is 100% covered in general economic theory with barriers to entry.

> Google & Facebook's dominance also stems from this zero-cost-of-production property. When your cost of production to provide the good or service is zero

But it's actually not 0 or even close to it. There are still economies of scale at play, if Facebook were to lose millions of users their costs would grow per user, which is what a marginal cost curve represents. Just because the curve is different doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

I'm pretty disappointed with Gate's post, because every academic economist I know is mocking it...since it's not well represented or thought out. It ignores so many principles and theories in economics for the sake of being "ground breaking." Even though most of the theories are hundreds of years old and still apply completely.

How to a Create a Blockchain-Based Social Media Platform for Bloggers?
TastyBite is definitely a similar product/company. The key differentiators are:

- Our products are fresh and don't have any preservatives, meaning they must be refrigerated or frozen whereas TastyBite is shelf-stable for 9+ months. Our food is inherently fresher and tastes more homemade because of this.

- Our recipes are crowdsourced instead of developed in our kitchen. This ensures that the food is actually authentic with a homemade taste and we are able to expand into a much larger variety of products much quicker. For instance, we have a few recipes in our pipeline that you would be hard-pressed to find in TastyBite or even regular Indian restaurants because they are authentic to smaller regions of India.

- I can't say that you'll definitely like our product's taste better than TastyBite, but I do believe so :)

I don't know. Is there really a massive benefit? The visual explanation of the Markov chains on that web site looks elegant and simple because... it is, i.e. it's not really a contribution of the visualization, it's because DTMCs are actually easy to understand. In a lecture, the teacher can easily simulate a Markov chain on a black board ("Now we are in this state, now we have to roll a die to decide whether we will go to state X or state Y"). Same for sealf-learners: In a book, you can tell the reader to start at some state X, roll a die, etc.

Honestly, I find that the Markov chain website is an example how you should NOT do it. You are replacing the active intellectual process in the head of the student by some trivial animations with scrolling texts and jumping tokens which look nice and dynamic but...what are you learning?

Of course, this doesn't mean that visualizations are useless, but they should be carefully designed with some learning goal in mind. Not easy! For example, the visualization could slowly gray out states that are not visited. In that way, the student could get a feeling for concepts like recurrence etc.

Ask HN: Do you have one-on-one meetings at your job?
Hey HN,

I have built https://www.oneonemeeting.com, a tool for documenting one-on-one meetings. I built it with the manager as the primary user, but I want to add some features for the employees now.

If you have one-on-ones with your leader on your job, could you help me better understand it?

A few questions to start:

- How do you think these one-on-ones are useful to you?

- What's the worst thing about your one-on-ones?

- What do you think your manager needs most help with?

Thanks!!

I agree with your point entirely. In practice, the software industry seems to be rife with a cult-like worship of humility and team consensus. So much so that consensus and humility have lost all meaning! Leaders should naturally rise for valid reasons, and their decisions and opinions should also naturally have more weight to them.

I'm all for letting the little guy get a seat at the table, and I'm all for hearing out people's ideas, but at the end of the day, someone has to make the call. That should be the leader's role. The leader will ultimately take the fall if their choice was incorrect, so the team should trust them.

The best companies I've worked for have had decisive leaders who cut through the nonsense ideas coming from their team (respectfully of course).

Appreciate the responses!

- The microwaveable complete meals are definitely more similar to our products, but those are once again shelf-stable and lack in taste and nutrition. We will be doing a live comparison of our Chana Masala vs. the MTR Chana Masala to show how different it is in amount of product, look, smell, taste and nutrition.

- The oil that they include is definitely a type of preservative, and they use packaging engineering called retort packaging. This is very similar to vacuum sealing where you are drying up the product to remove the nutritional value. I think we could agree that there's a pretty big difference between MTR paneer masala and a homemade paneer masala. I would say that our products are similar if not the same as if you made it from scratch.

- We are e-commerce delivery, not on-demand. The difference between ordering from us vs. an Indian restaurant would be price-point (most dishes start at $7-10).

- Taste is definitely subjective!
Shit, this sounds like a previous startup I left. Product-market fit acquired, growing steadily, near-profitability. Then Series C, and sudden pivot to more ambitious product. A few months/years later (I left before this, seeing the danger) most of the staff gets laid off. :\

Unless they've got detection, assessment and response down to a few minutes or less this wouldn't even stop a suicide bomber or gunman unless they can't be bothered to take an uber to their target, that's assuming the system detects most threats in the first place. I don't see how this defends against bombs in luggage or rolling toolboxes/cases.

>They use a combination of food engineering and package engineering to preserve the food without using preservatives.

I don't know specifically about Haldiram's or MTR (I might have tried out MTR Indian food ready-to-eat packs), but some others that I used to buy and eat sometimes (I forget the name, it may have been from an ITC group company - the Indian food and tobacco giant), mention on the package that they use DRDO-licensed technology. DRDO is an Indian defence-oriented R&D organization of the Indian government. The technology was originally developed for soldiers on the field. So likely made in such a way as to last long, and could account for its not tasting that good, and not as good as the same item, but freshly made (obviously).
So you are going to market as an upscale version of TastyBite with no preservatives that sells niche Indian food?

I wish you the best of luck with that.

Personally, I find a package of Vindaloo from TastyBite, some riced veggies, and a shredded chicken breast lasts me about 2 meals and is comparable to the price you are charging. I really only use TastyBite as a backpacking/on-the-go meal or as a quick curry out of laziness. I'm probably not your target market but shelf stability has alot going for it.

US companies don't need to care about this, that's why their startups are so much more successful. They have a single market with 300 million customers.

I assume that most of the people that commented on this article live in the U.S. The majority of the world sees the U.S. as the world's biggest threat to world peace, yet I don't see anybody on Hacker News claiming companies shouldn't do business with the U.S. Since the war in Iraq, can we think of something that the Chinese government has done that is worse? I disagree strongly with the notion that the Chinese government's influence on the world is somehow worse than the influence of the U.S. I do think there is something to be said about boycotting governments that abuse human rights, but I think it is hypocritical to think that somehow that doesn't apply to the U.S.

True, also the packaging is slightly smaller than in regular stores. E.g.: 7 oz cans instead of 8 oz cans. But the price is just enough less than the 8 oz size price to make the consumer feel they are getting a good deal.

It does. But read what the sentence says about "imaginary pain"—that it still hurts. That feeling of hurt is pain. So the sentence is saying that "imaginary pain" is just "pain". So pain that you might think is imaginary, is actually real.
