But I'd wager that the audience of people looking for an article on a command, and the people that want a manpage up on a non linux device (a second screen, a phone?) are mostly disjunct, and that the latter is far larger.

I don't know how much my org is paying but it's no small amount, Enterprise no. Are we getting what we pay for? I don't think so, I think effective SLA of 99% isn't good enough for any SasS. But of course you understand that moving away from github is no small decision.

Does it exist somewhere in a platonic realm of forms?
Whenever this comes up, I think about the conjunction fallacy https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conjunction_fallacy. The observation that human subjects seem to assign higher probability to joint events than a single event. Which is weird because the probability of two events at the same time (conjunction) is always less than or equal to the probability of a single event on its own.

How does the Bayesian brain hypothesis deal with this fallacy? It seems to me that nothing based on classical probability can explain this fallacy. So either the observation that humans can assign higher probability to joint events is wrong or human decision making isn't exactly probabilistic (in the classical sense, can't rule out exotic probabilistic approaches).

EDIT: As several folks have commented that the conjunction fallacy can be explained away by different arguments based on interpretation and semantic issues. Indeed, the original Linda problem was susceptible to these issues. However, since then several researchers have tried to study this effect more carefully and it seems to still persist. An example that I'm aware of is the following https://link.springer.com/article/10.3758/BF03195280 where the authors used unambiguous language and a betting paradigm, but still found the effect. Again, this is most likely not fool proof. Regardless, I do not think the fallacy can be trivially explained away as an effect of ambiguous language.

I'm not really sure what you want in terms of backcompat breaking changes. I feel like if you do enough to make Perl 5 modern, you end up with Perl 6, but different. Once you add real Unicode support and a MOP and concurrency, you've reinvented more than half of Rakudo. It should be called Perl 7, so we can have yet another version.
Yes of course it is. Experience allows you to make decisions without having a statistically valid sample all the time.

I have been a wantrepreneur for a very long time. Like yourself I have tried and failed multiple ideas. I have worked with about 10 startups (including some my own). I know (and have had honest reflections from others) that I have caliber to work things out. But I have realized the biggest issue is lack of perseverance - I jump ideas too often. Any idea (unless I am super lucky) will need years of patient hand holding. I give up/get bored easily.

So on Jan 1, 2018 I promised myself I will stick to one of my ideas. I did, now we are a tiny team seeing traction. Not revenue though. I had already started a second idea in between, that is how fickle my mind is. But I dropped it after detecting my brains own devil. So I am still sticking to the one I started this year. As a team we have good goals till Dec 2018 and then first quarter 2019. We have not planned beyond.

What I mean to say is: stick to one. Things may not go well, but keep trying solutions in the same product, experiment a lot. Give yourself at least 2 or 3 years of "honest" effort. I do not over work, strict 8 hours a day. I consult to raise the funds for our product. I have promised myself time till end of 2020 to see where this goes. I am 35 years old, been into startups since 22.

The bare minimum as of now: https://travlyng.com/

Edit: I used the wrong year 2017 instead of 2018. Sleepy head.

As someone who had to deal with them from both sides, EU public procurement laws are fucked up beyond repair. There is, however, a simple cure for software that the public sector is avoiding in most places:

1. base the software on an established, battle-tested open source product, there is one for almost any business case

2. use the money to hire an in-house team, hiring norms in public sector at least ALLOW for quality selection, unlike public procurement ones

3. develop in the open, invest into visibility, attract community members

4. shill, try to get as many agencies across your and other member states to pick the same solution and co-develop the software with you, this way the cost drops for everyone

Even if you can't find something to satisfy point 1., the other three points would still work to your benefit. If you can push this for long enough to make the software standard in more places, you could get a critical mass of outside developers to form consultancies you could hire later for additional work.

I know Munich is poster-boy of this not working for desktop OS-es but that's really a consequence of two things:

1. They made all the wrong choices (heavy customization, chasing windows look and feel, not tracking upstream progress)

2. They got elected officials who were effectively Microsoft shills (the top-down decision to go back to Windows was heavily pushed by a single executive who was pissed off he couldn't use Outlook he was used to on his previous drone job).

Ask HN: Anyone having issues with new repo creation on GitHub and fresh push?
I create a new repo on GitHub and then set remote to the GitHub URL, same as always, but I get "Repository not found" when I try to push.

More baffling is the fact that even though it was created as per usual, when I try to find it again on my profile, its mysterious gone. Is GitHub hosed today?
You can't overcome basic physics. And this chick is a nutter. Her TEDx was cringey as hell, spending the majority of the time claiming she'd figured out solutions to problems in minutes that PhDs spent years on.

The fact that you'd need a power plant to charge a room full of people's phones isn't some practicality issue. This was absolute nonsense from day 1.
Anecdote for sure, but we had a Niva on the farm I grew up on that basically lived it's whole life in a paddock, and even though the car needed to be roll-started when you wanted to use it (because the battery was the same vintage as the car) it was incredibly reliable.

The only repeat issue I've really seen with the old Nivas was rust as they allegedly spent months on snow-covered docks in Russia before being exported overseas, which ended up with them "coming with rust from the dealership".

I'm sure, however, that a professional day-to-day mechanic would have a different perspective on their reliability of course.
I like how the times are unevenly spaced too haha. I'm imagining a bunch of devs sitting at home in their pajamas (Sunday night) talking on Slack as they try to fix the site and every time there's a lull one person's like "hey we should probably refresh the status again".
I was introduced to this idea on the comp.risks forum, where it was presented as an attack on an answering machine with a 5-digit passcode, which, naively, would require an average of 50,000 guesses of 5 digits each, or 250,000 key presses. But this particular device not only didn't lock out after some number of incorrect guesses, it didn't require a separator character between guesses. It just listened for the correct five digits consecutively, regardless of what you had entered before. So a superpermutation just 153 digits long was sufficient to crack every device.
Can you give an example of yourself making this choice and star count being the deciding factor?

One way to overcome this sort by "Most reviews" which normally Amazon hides (I think they do it to give chance to sell new brands/products more). You have more chance to find the product you want and more trustful if it had 10K reviews instead of 10 reviews. I wrote about how to do it. Full disclosure, I am the author of free web app tool on the article.

I think PG was very careful and very precise about the advice he gave there. If you look at the context he specifically addresses and discards the idea of trying to make money from it straight away:

About a month after we started Y Combinator we came up with the phrase that became our motto: Make something people want. We've learned a lot since then, but if I were choosing now that's still the one I'd pick.

Another thing we tell founders is not to worry too much about the business model, at least at first. Not because making money is unimportant, but because it's so much easier than building something great.

A couple weeks ago I realized that if you put those two ideas together, you get something surprising. Make something people want. Don't worry too much about making money. What you've got is a description of a charity.

When you get an unexpected result like this, it could either be a bug or a new discovery. Either businesses aren't supposed to be like charities, and we've proven by reductio ad absurdum that one or both of the principles we began with is false. Or we have a new idea.[1]

It's fine to disagree with that advice of course. But I think in the context of YC it make sense. If you aren't doing YC and can't raise capital as easily then maybe not.

14-year-long oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico
This has been similar to my experience recently with a package marked as rejected.

It's a shitty caught in limbo situation - they refused to acknowledge even the possibility that the delivery service might not have made an honest effort to get into the building, and they wouldn't let me cancel the order without a penalty, but they couldn't tell me where my package was and had no way of contacting the carrier for me to schedule another time for delivery. There also seems to be no policy to automatically retry the next day. All they could do was take my phone number and then the delivery company might call me later if they felt like it. It was very bizarre.

Since then I have stopped using free 1-day shipping, because at least in larger buildings UPS and USPS can generally get in fine as they're delivering multiple packages every day. The random small companies that handle the one day shipping seem to be a lot less reliable.
I see no problem here.

Quite often, thanks to eBay, Amazon and other online, those retail stores simply aren't there any more. My options are destroyed, and I have no choice but to try and buy online or drive miles on a "maybe chance".

There used to be a superb hardware store and a great outdoor store near me. Both have closed along with so much else on the high street. If I try and get a lot of what the hardware store carried either online or in other retail (the big DIY sheds) I'll get a far inferior cheap and nasty Chinese equivalent for surprisingly little saving. The items I actually want remain elusive.

The outdoor store had staff that climbed, hiked and so on, and were great for advice as well as product. If you wanted something a little out of the ordinary (either specialist or more unusual sizes) they could order it in for next day at no cost. I got a couple of super cheap items in their closing down sale. :(

I could probably drive 100 miles to Manchester or Glasgow and find a suitable retail option. That would make anything other than carefully planned bulk purchase crazy expensive.

Online has been great for rare niche items, or electronics. For an awful lot of the day-to-day rest I'm left feeling that after the initial boost when they first set up, it's left us far worse off. To cap it all Amazon are rarely cheaper any more.

It wasn't supposed to be this way.

Not a good way to look at it. Sample code is equivalent to production code. It will be copied, verbatim, if it appears to work. Once it has the appearance of working, it isn’t looked at again. It doesn’t matter if you think people should be doing this or not. The only thing that matters is they will.
Remember that we're dealing with property that for most long-term residents was bought fairly inexpensively a couple decades ago, on fairly low incomes, and it's ballooned in value recently.

Real estate taxes are low as a percentage but high in terms of dollars, for those residents who live and work in the city. Incomes have not risen accordingly. For the independently wealthy, sure another few percent on a recent purchase is no problem. But for families that are already struggling to pay the huge tax (in dollar terms, not percentage, due to the rising value of their home) it would force them to sell and leave the city.

It also would get passed on to renters.

This is different than the bay area issue, where property taxes are locked down and the city is generating massive wealth due to the tech industry, floating real estate prices. Vancouver is not generating the wealth to support that kind of tax base that it needs.

These are structured as: Do you choose (A) alone, or do you choose (A) and (B)? (A) is often benign and (B) is often something the subject thinks is a good fit. So, in some ways these seem like "trick questions" - I wonder what happens if both options are benign. As the Wikipedia article mentions, in the typical case the subject may end up choosing to use an easy heuristic rather than thinking hard about the actual definition of probability and such.

There are other ways the brain could be Bayesian though. For example, at the lowest level our neurons could use Bayesian inference. How this manifests itself at much higher levels such as with language and planning might be difficult to predict.

But I think it's not always as straight forward as what the article is making it sound.

A few following questions
- Pension funds? How proud should they be about managing their money? I'm sure pension funds do a lot of shady things, have corruption, etc. even the ones for teachers, firemen etc.

- What if your company is doing something very good for the world, but has trouble finding financing. Does it balances out? Is it better to let something great for the world die in the name of not taking dirty money? Or vice versa?

- Where do you draw the line? Related to my first question. A gulf dictator is bad, but corrupted US funds are better? How about taking money from Leman Brothers post-crisis for example?
