Or aren't able to.

Airports are a controlled environment where your free will is a lot less meaningful than usual.

I'm quite fond of hand-washing, and I hate airports because they make it so difficult. You have to touch everything, and everything touches you, and sinks are few and far between, and only located in jam-packed restrooms.

You also can't bring decent quantities of hand sanitizer through checkpoints. This ban on liquids and gels applies to alcohol gel, BZK foam, povidone solution, and towelettes premoistened with any of the above. I checked.

Once aboard the plane, there's no effective handwashing. The bathrooms are so small you brush the walls with your shoulders while turning around, the trash-flap has to be shoved on to deposit your paper towel, and the door latch has to be touched to be operated.

After you've arrived at your destination, luggage at the baggage claim has been handled by folks outside your control, who themselves probably don't wash their hands very often, and once you've grabbed it, even if you wipe it down with some towelettes you've squirreled away, there's no restroom nearby to wash the remaining mostly-dead germs off your hands.

So please, tell me which airports you've been flying where handwashing is easy, and I'll try to schedule a connection through one to check it out.
The signifier "socialist" in jaron's quote is almost completely superfluous, and can easily be dropped without loosing anything from his main argument, so I wouldn't fixate on that.

The point is that if "information is free", then it severely restricts the kinds of business models startups and entrepreneurs need to survive.

> When you sit down next to someone on a train and start a conversation

I don't think Jaron is trying to say you need to pay someone to have a conversation on a train. That is more like a strawman.

The content that you provide on a social media platform, which lives on a central, proprietary, for-profit company's server, is a bit different.
I think there are a lot of people like that. I've visited homes of plenty of acquaintances that, based on their jobs, earn less money than me, but live a much more luxurious life - for example, a 2700 square foot 4 bedroom 5 bath home, $5000 viking stove (how do I know it was a $5K stove? They were sure to let me know: "Gosh, $5,000 for this stove and it still burns the eggs!"), BMW car for him, BMW SUV for her, private school for the kids (despite paying a premium to live in a desirable public school district). It's possible that they have some alternate source of income, but still I wonder how they can afford all of that luxury.

I think there are more people that look at the equity in their home to see how rich they are than look in their bank account.
The same market goldschlager is in.
Just create something for your personal benefit that doesn't yet exist. Something new or for a lower cost. Once you've built it, others are likely to find it useful as well.

Yes, 60% of motels are owned by Indians, and 1/3 of those (so 20% of total motels) have the surname Patel.
> The legitimacy is a function of sufficient supremacy than any moral rightness.

It's a function of popular acceptance (or at least acquiescence) which can acheived by any combination of perceived rectitude or overwhelmingly capacity (in practice, it's usually a blend of the two, and not just one or the other, in any stable state.)
Elastic is not predominantly a SaaS company. It's part of the play, but not the main source of their revenue.
I don't think it's unwinnable, but why would you put out the impression that it's not actually very hard to thwart any adversary? Note that the people who can truly get away with it are a very small bunch or they aren't valuable enough to target.

See Dread Pirate Roberts for a good example. People eventually get caught if they make enough mistakes and are sufficiently valuable to powerful adversaries.

May be we actually agree about how hard it is, but are saying different words, like when you say "a great many" and I say "very small bunch" (like a "great many" in light of the power of actors like governments and ubiquity of surveillance). But such a perspective of complacency expressed here could only lead poor folk to being too lax, and thus, eventually finding their security compromised.

No, I want to enjoy the show fully. For working out, I'd go to the gym. But this might work for those who have busier schedule.
We want to provide an open source alternative (hardware & firmware).

As others mentioned, note that there's a difference between the new Yubikey Security Key (FIDO2 only) and previous Yubikeys, that do multiple things, including pgp/ssh support.

By being open, eventually we think that Solo can also support these features, and maybe more. But to start, we want to focus on FIDO2 (and U2F, because FIDO2 is backward compatible).
"...all the best urban planners left cleveland as it shrank, which resulted in waste..."

???

But if they all left Cleveland, wasn't that because the places they moved to were more desirable for whatever reason?

And if those other places were more desirable, doesn't that imply that they missed something in their planning? (Or else they would have done the planning to make their own place that desirable.)

Serious question BTW. I'm not trying to be snarky.
Shopify Payments Hostages clients: How not to roll out a product
We run a few shops on the Shopify platform, processing just over 1M USD per year.

Shopify Payments (Shopify proxying sales through its own Stripe accounts) recently rolled out world-wide. They make their money by leveraging volume rates.

We process on Stripe; moving to Shopify Payments and saving 1% seemed like a good idea.

The switch has been disastrous:

- Incorrect rates advertised. Shopify stated $2.35 HKD per transaction on one page, $2.35 USD on another, and 2.35EU on another page; Customer support spent weeks debating on what was correct. Advertising on their site, the shop, and app are still incorrect.

- In their haste/greed to onboard customers - Shopify performs no KYC and no due diligence before onboarding customers - but immediately processes payments.

- Two days later, we were informed that all payouts were suspended until KYC was performed. Thousands in revenue were used as hostage until we performed KYC

- We tried to switch back to Stripe - but it had been removed from our billing options. There was no way out - our funds and our store were hostaged. Shopify support did not reply to our request to transfer back to Stripe.

- Two days later, we were "approved", but informed that Shopify would hold 20% reserves for 3 months until we established our "Chargeback Record". Again - this was undocumented before the transition. There was no way to prove our current chargeback record on the same merchant and no way to leave Shopify Payments

I would love to think that this is an isolated case, but it happened across all our stores, which are all operated independently.

TLDR: Shopify Payments lures clients with simplicity and incorrect rates, allowing instance processing which they later ransom against KYC, hold 20% reserve for 3 months, refuse let you migrate away from their platform, and ignore emails about the subject.
As someone who is about to be tasked with building this sort of infrastructure for a hospital system what would be your dream architecture? I hate IT hurdles and I am hoping I can avoid building them into our infrastructure.
I think they did mention them, just not by name since whether a road project is a roundabout or some other intersection isn't really relevant:

Unfortunately, at this point all I see is another piece that won't persuade anyone to leave the cult of Trump. None of this information is at all surprising, but in the eyes of his followers he can do no wrong.
Its really surprising there isn't more activity in this area. For instance Postgresql could really use some attention on its text search capabilities such as BM25 and TF*IDF and become a more capable competitor.
Yup, and I've developed some pretty effective habits of unwrapping other food in the style of a banana, so my hands touch only the wrapper, and advance/expose the food so it's touched only with my mouth.

Treat everything like a push-pop, basically.
We're in a tiny market (we're like the strava of paragliding) and are expanding into growing markets (if a person attached a gps tracker to it, we'll show it's movement and tell the story).

Long-term we are creating a new type of media. It is so difficult to get a clear concise story to an investor about the path of growth of all of these things.

Reading stuff like this by YC, helps us realize/believe we are on the right path.

Any advice on how to approach and spell out the future?

Would it been better if uber had come out and said "today we are about black cars, but tomorrow it is cabs and then the movement of any goods"? Would investor have gone for that? I think many would have said "yeah right, like you're going to take on the taxi market.

Comparing 2 Yubico Security Keys to the Titan Security Key pack is the correct comparison.

They talk about Concrete City as if it's satire, but when I read the title, I assumed it would have something to do with Concrete, Washington. A real place, named after the substance, and immortalized in This Boy's Life, by Tobias Wolff.
15-20x is huge for a SaaS company this big. I’d be surprised if they get it. They’re a great company but that implies sustained insano growth.
Double same! Doesn't matter whether I like the music or not: it must be dissected layer by layer. Some of my non-musician friends wonder why I never have "background" music on at home.

Lots of people think like this. During the housing crash there were lots of news reports about people earning mid six-figures losing their homes because they went out of their way to buy extravagant mansions they could barely afford, rather than a more modest-sized luxury home they could have paid for outright in a year or two.
I didn't want to reply to not sound too opinionated (ironically) but I agree. Chains feel cool when you write them down but don't always scale and lead to mistakes as Sileni points out.

BTW, as an addition to my original comment, a good example of reinventing types are the litany of C++ libraries that do NOT use the STL but reinvent half of it.
As a user I hate AMP. I find myself on a website I want to share and go to copy the link so I can share it, andd...surprise! It's NOT the canonical link, but a Google Amp link. I wanted to share the post to a desktop. So now I have to find my way out of this AMP hole just to share a website.

Personally I could care less about "speed improvements." If the site loads slow I'll juat skip it. Amp existing to help that happen less doesn't really affect me. I probably waste too much time surfing anyway; maybe I WANT to filter slow websites on my own (by ending my search/session).
funny thing about Georgia, or metro Atlanta that is. We just completed the new Northwest Corridor Express Lanes, 30 miles of elevated reversible toll lanes for a whopping eight hundred and thirty four million dollars.

however with regards to the story, Atlanta has its issues with old and needing of repair infrastructure but mostly this comes about because politicians love to cut a ribbon and money goes to new and expensive projects while maintenance gets deferred. This is very evident in heavy rail metro transit systems across the country where it is estimated that over a hundred billion dollars has been deferred.

however the real bomb coming is the public employee pension funds running out of money, from police to fire to teachers to city employees. Chicago has a time bomb set to go off in just a few years [1] and if we thought infrastructure costs were killer wait till the pensions collapse, here is a hint : worn out sewers and bridges won't sue you. Already more than a few cities and counties have filed bankruptcy because of these costs.

rich neighborhoods want more and more services but when the bill finally comes due it is only then that they realize the true cost of that folly. it easy to live on deferred payment plans until it comes due

Ah! My mistake. Thank you.
AMP is in two parts: the HTML/JS spec, and the Google implementation and cache.

Putting aside the Google bits, is there a case against building within the AMP HTML and JS spec? Or is the case against all down to Google's ownership of the project?

On my iPhone AMP is frustratingly buggy: rotation doesn't work properly, the URL bar doesn't disappear on scroll, Reader mode works inconsistently, etc. But these seem like issues with Google's cache and hosting, not the spec.

How I Reduced My Imposter Syndrome as an Intern
My 100% of the staff is non-Indian. In fact, most of the franchise owner's staff is non-Indian.

Small, economy brands & independent motels can't afford to hire full-time employees or outside help. Also, most of the money you can make is by not hiring outside help.
Although the article references Carmel and its relationship to Indianapolis, I can't help myself from thinking everything written is analogous to Summerlin and Las Vegas, the city where I currently reside. It's scary to think how many other suburbs and cities across the nation where you could draw similar parallels.

Yes I totally understand. In general model serving doesn't seem to be something people are thinking about at the moment. I expect it gets more attention in the next couple of years.
You can wash your hands at any airport in the world. Also, neither you nor anybody else has been on a flight that required more than 100ml of hand sanitiser to keep yourself clean. If you're using more than that, then you have a problem and it's not related to bacteria.
SNAP is not corporate welfare - in fact, it is the exact opposite! Employers have to pay their employees more because SNAP exists: since SNAP benefits decrease with more income, SNAP benefits decrease the marginal benefit to a worker for each extra hour worked. This reduces a worker's incentive to work and thus reduces the labor supply, so wages have to rise to maintain equilibrium (assuming labor demand is downward sloping).

Another way of looking at it is SNAP gives workers a better alternative to working - not working - so it raises workers' reservation wages: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reservation_wage

If it were not for SNAP, you'd actually be able to hire more workers at a cheaper price because the alternative to working
- not working - would no longer be as attractive.

The formula for SaaS companies is generally growth + net margin should equal 40%. If they’re growing 100%, even a negative 50% margin leaves them in the clear by 10%.
There are numerous Canadian-produced shows on cable TV because Canada costs about 50% of shooting in the US. This makes the financials pen out for lower-budget shows that would otherwise die if made in the U.S.

Generally, the higher-budget shows are shot in the US. Largely, because the cast members on higher budget shows are less willing to move to Canada for half of the year. Compare, e.g., Suits and other USA shows (ironically, now all filmed in Canada) with Better Caul Saul/AMC shows or Mayans MC/FX shows (generally, filmed on location).
Figuring out a clear story to tell is part of the challenge. We've noticed that founders who are better at doing this generally build better products and companies.

So I'd look at this as a test: can you tell your story in a way that connects?
I really like the biolite wood stove that I have, as well as the concepts of their other products.The problem is that the company won't sell pieces separately. If your usb charger/fan that came with your stove breaks, your metal wood stove stops functioning.

Would be even better if you could filter on your end. Users just tag their posts; "Pets," "Kids," "Politics," etc and then you can uncheck any tags from a friend you're not interested in, but leave the rest as-is. Maybe all checked by default but you could uncheck a tag directly on the post that bothers you.

There are a lot of limitations with Amazon's hosted offering. Mostly you will find out about them when your cluster needs maintenance (upgrades, outages, etc.). Elastic cloud is a much better product in terms of features, support, performance, documentation, price, etc. I've used both and ran my own clusters as well. Elastic Cloud is my default option these days.

Bernie Sanders Introduces 'Stop BEZOS Act' to End Corporate Welfare
I worked on x11-b-1381 until there appeared to be an encoding error in a variation of the enigma cipher they used that made it unsolvable. The author insists it wasn't a problem, but I think that one really derailed the puzzle.

It was very immersive, but the author giving interviews broke the spell.

There was another aspect of it that isn't talked about much, which was that the x11-b puzzle author seemed to launch several hundred Tor exit nodes (named for the puzzle) out of holland if I remember correctly. I didn't have my gear or the time to start trying to find and extract injected malware from the nodes or do diffs against the videos from the internet vs. those exit nodes, but since that was a next level play, I couldn't take the time to run down that rabbit hole.
He was fired, though that isn't proof he got in trouble for what he was doing or that he wasn't ordered to do that. He did things in a ham-handed way and it leaked, causing a PR disaster.

The F22 looks to be a similar case. Here we don't have a crude effort getting leaked, but that doesn't mean the situation was any more legitimate. It very much seems that Obama was pushing to kill the F22 and the military marched to his orders.

the article suggests that bad urban planning can cause a city to shrink.

reverse causation would be that cities which shrink result in bad urban planning.

the mechanism for the reverse causation could be that the best urban planners may choose to work in cities with promising growth. or, that shrinking makes urban planning too unpredictable to be effective.

you seem to be assuming that urban planners cause a city to be desirable or not. I'm not so sure planners have as much influence, versus, say, trade/resources/industries.

point being, i don't think the causal mechanisms on this are clear.
If you aggressively unfollow garbage third party content shared by your friends then eventually your feed will be pretty clean. It takes some work though.
Well at any rate, the difference is that nearly anyone can learn to read, whereas there is no evidence to suggest that more than a few percent of people can become a computer programmer.

So I personally am not worried.
