Are there really any single founders? In most successful single founder companies, there are few people who effectively does cofounder like stuff. In this case initial recruits would just not have the cofounder title, but the same work.
Also initial recruits will stick around and will give their best only if they have enough incentive, which is equity(a cofounder thing)

The book "Beyond Category" is a fantastic book that profiles Duke Ellington as a band leader. He kept a large number of high-level musicians, often with challenging personalities, employed and working together for decades. He managed to accomplish it in the face of a "pivoting market": around the late 40's/early 50's listeners turned more toward bebop with its small-group sound.

It's a worthwhile read for anyone with both music and leadership interest.
Honest question: my whole life (I'm 42) I've seen inflation fears and gold promotions.

By now, even if the inflation fears come true, it falls into the "stopped clock is still eventually correct", and the fetishization of gold never made sense to me - why not invest in something that has a value outside of luxury? I have no doubt gold will retain some value, and as a luxury will bounce back well when times are good, but luxury seems like a terrible choice of protection against bad times, as I'd expect luxury to drop in value fast vs practical concerns.

Are there arguments in favor of this viewpoint I'm missing?

I am seeing it as well. And am recommending Lambda School to just about everyone who asks ;)

The main problem I see is the steep learning curve. The intro lessons are facile enough. Anyone can setup VS Code, and install an App Engine SDK. But by the time they get to modules 3-4 ("designing the data schema"). They are ready to throw in the towel.

At some point, a student requires one-to-one mentoring and repeatable reinforcement. Like learning a second language or playing the piano.

Also check out this nice write-up in Dealbook today on Lambda's model:

It's not magic. In the past I thought I need to be really innovative, have my own product, be rich, be a business man from top to bottom, have cofounders etc. etc.

I was going straight from software freelancing to founding my own company (also switched countries to Cyprus) and created a Limited all on my own. Still working for clients and I have this legal person (Limited) now acting as a shell for me on a legal side but beside that: nothing changed.

Cofounders are like a marriage... you should be 101% sure about them ;)

I don't think you'll find much demographic differences between the U.S. and Canada, apart from a much higher poverty and incarceration rate in the U.S.

Arguably our stronger safety net and better education system, while not technically part of the healthcare system, is also part of producing better health outcomes.

This isn't a glibc issue; really it's a story that "character collations are not stable over time" (mentioned downthread in the article in a message quoting Unicode Technical Standard #10).

This is both false and not relevant.

This is false because many fields do care very much. E.g. medicine (and not just mds), law, the patent bar, and many engineering fields care about accreditation. Even degrees from highly acclaimed universities aren't enough if the degree isn't accredted by the right body (eg ABET for the patent bar).

This is also not relevant because, in practice, places with good reputations are typically accredited.
Yay for the new speakers but too bad they reduced battery capacity though, especially combined with the new 4k screen option this is quite concerning.

Banks don't lend out deposits, they lend based on the expectation of getting repaid. Lending is just an adjustment in the borrower's assets and the creation of an equivalent debt, which is why banks are said to "create money".

Different people have different balance of skills. I like to use highschool chemistry as the litmus test. On the extremes there are people like me, stereotyped as successful physicists or engineers that love the math side but hated memorizing the tables of ions (poor ability to memorize, good ability to reason), and the people that are stereotyped as successful biologists that hated the math in their chemistry courses but memorized the entire periodic table just by looking at it (tremendous ability to memorize, poor ability to reason). Of course there are also all the people in-between. If you lean towards memorization, obviously if you need an answer, your best bet is to remember when someone told you the answer. If you lean towards reasoning, your best bet is to conceptualize a few fundamentals, and derive the answer on the spot (because you have no hope of recalling it.) This difference means that some people are naturally suited for some fields of study over others, for example the usefulness of recall in biology where everything is a huge tangled web of interacting parts. Another example of these stereotypes in action is the meme that engineers can't spell (which makes sense in the English language, because spelling has little in the way of overarching structure and is mostly recall).

The point of all this being, you have to recognize where you stand on the reasoning-recalling spectrum and adjust your learning strategy accordingly. Something that works for someone on one end might not work at all for someone on the other.
Most ML jobs are sitting around scrubbing data. The fun math part is like 5% of the job, and usually there's some guy (or a small handful of guys) that's a PhD who is hired to do all of that because he was in the research area before he left academia.

I could be wrong, but this is my experience.

According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization [1] "just less than half the world's usable surface is covered by grazing systems" and "Grazing systems supply about 9 percent of the world's production of beef and about 30 percent of the world's production of sheep and goat meat."

Doesn't seem like such a clear win for cattle. They do note that "For an estimated 100 million people in arid areas, and probably a similar number in other zones, grazing livestock is the only possible source of livelihood.", so not everyone might be able to afford a vegetarian diet, but 91% of beef seems replaceable.

I think the fact that he deleted almost all of his past tweets because they came under fire...including one that stated that the Nazis had some good ideas, is a solid example. He often strips things from MMFA and Think Progress (which he used to writer for!) without fact checking them at all. He helped perpetuate the idea that cross hairs on a map caused violence. When Obama was in office he falsely lowered the national debt by trillions of dollars to make things not sound so bad. So, so many examples. Don't even get me started on the "Voxsplainers."

On Twitter he is basically considered a joke on both sides of the aisle.

We are a small 20ish dev company using a monorepo with mostly python. Our tooling is Bazel and Drone.

- Ease of onboarding. Being able to quickly build or test any target is awesome for the new employee.

- Ease of collaboration. I can see all of the code easily and can learn from these patterns. I can also quickly contribute or extend apis and fix all usages without concern for breaking changes.

Our use of Bazel quickly gets us around git scale issues by enabling external dependencies that can be loaded into the workspace without fully vendoring everything.

I think doctors are paid pretty well, frankly. I also think we need more of a role for nurses and midwives, and less of a focus on centralized hospital based medical care.

But as others have pointed out: we're culturally and linguistically contiguous with the U.S. and have fairly free movement of skilled professionals. It's hard to compete with an economy with a population that is ten times ours.

It's the same in our/my industry. Being right next to the U.S. means the bulk of the quality engineers here go straight south to the valley after getting their very good subsidized university education. This is a problem.

If we’re going to use analogies like that, then this is like my benefactor uncle coming in with massive sums of money, telling me to stop working at the McDonald’s and pay someone to take my shifts, and focus on studying.

Yeah, I take that deal every day of the week.
This, BTW, is a great example why many filesystems are case sensitive -- ignoring case requires collation support, and this can change all the time. Treating filenames as opaque byte strings, on the other hand, makes the filesystems, databases and so on Always Work.

Of course, PostgreSQL is one the few programs which actually cares about collation and case-insensitivity, so it has to work the hard way.
This, plus, just start. There are lots of things you won't know, always. You'll need to dig in and figure out what you need to know. Outsourcing is a good option for things if you have the money. However, you need to understand what you're paying for.
And yet we have multiple Proof of stake coins that seem to work just fine.
This may not be true everywhere, particularly HN. Since there's a restriction on who can downvote there's a tendency to ignore comments rather than downvote them. Of course, stuff does get downvoted here but I like to think the culture isn't quite as up-down vote driven as other platforms.

And that's why seeing a doctor often involves a battery of seemingly unrelated tests - diagnosis can be difficult and involved.

> I often had to navigate by mentally walking from building to building.

That's similar to how I navigate if I have to find out if there's a certain kind of business in proximity. I quickly "fly" down the street in one direction, see if there's what I need – say, a convenience store – for about a bus stop or two, then the other way. I'm looking in the direction I'm scouting, but my mind is wandering way further.

I'm also quite capable of finding my way back to somewhere I'd been once, but I won't be able to tell you where it is on the map unless I find something memorable on it and orient myself similarly to above.

AFAIK Bash does that by default too (at least it's been the case on my Debian setups for years). It also works with git for example, not just with its subcommands but also with your commits, tags, branches, remotes, etc.

Many Debian packages comes with a completion script for Bash so you get it when you install them :).
It’s not an apples to apples comparison.

Growth and/or stock market performance are often only indirectly coupled or lag by years better strategy, innovation, management, etc.

Unfortunately sometimes good decisions never cause growth, there’s no simple formula.
Network transparency isn't as useful now that most apps use toolkits like gtk or qt instead of raw X drawing primitives. The toolkits render the UI into a pixel buffer, which takes a lot of bandwidth over the network.
That's configurable - https://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticloadbalancing/latest/appl... - default `HealthyThresholdCount` is 5 and `HealthCheckIntervalSeconds` is 30 seconds.

We adjust those down - somewhere 10-15 seconds for HealthCheckIntervalSeconds and 3 for HealthyThresholdCount works pretty well.

I have a question common to ventures like this, but I'll start with something objectively positive.

It works well in Chrome, and it seems quite user-friendly. It looks like the posts/actual site won't really load—or they partially load. But the story editing, etc works well— just maybe focus on the UX a touch—make publishing the post easier to find.

Now for the stuff that always bothers me about decentralized publishing platforms like this—

if nobody can remove or alter your content, what is preventing people from posting harmful content (need I explain)? It also doesn't sound like there's any recourse for removal. It also sounds like you intend to monetize the platform, or at least parts of it. This could render you a provider of paid services to people who wish to find a space for permanently publishing those kinds of materials.

As a comparison, a publishing house would not print child pornography in the name of free speech. They're operating a business— it would be suicide.

I've just never heard a good answer to that one, so I'm curious about your take.
Seems worth noting that they're not the same thing, given the geeky nature of the forum we find ourselves on.
>Avoid boring people

My experience is that this one-off is generally used as a way to be a dick to people who live a life you don't agree with, or that is opposed to your own.

I have yet to meet a boring person. Everyone is a hot weirdo when you really get to know them.

It's a matter of overcoming your own ego and realizing that your 'boring' is just another way of living.

Subsequently, those sort of bullshit phrases always serve to piss me off really, really badly. Who are you to tell someone else that they're boring? They're just living their lives. Why not take a minute to get to know them? If they try to drag you down and make you something you're not, then yes, avoid them. But just to make a snap values judgment on whether their life has value? No.

A success in that it has transformed the public image of the worlds largest and effectively "only" internet ad platform into one of a benevolent tech company working on problems that will help the world.

Google for most of the last decade has had it 'easy' though. The natural expansion of its ad revenue has reduced the need for it to turn some 'evilness' dials to keep revenue and profit growing. With Apple its very straight forward, they sell things, and if you want their services you pay for them.
I'm a die-hard meat eater and I'd eat a lot of a tasty veggie sandwich patty. I need more veggies in my diet but it's hard to get enough without cooking.

It doesn't have to be a fake burger. Just something tasty for a healthy daily dose of vegetables.

For me, soy doesn't qualify. It's one of the most common crops in the world and there's already enough of it in other things I eat.

This sounds completely out of character and in direct opposition to the actual history we know of the automotive industry. Remember the 'unintended acceleration' issue that Toyota cars featured a few years ago? During the court case it was revealed that Toyota firmware developers did not have access to even a bug tracker, and that out of 90+ 'suggested' or 'recommended' coding practices, Toyota's code followed only 4. While they might claim to engineer toward redundancy and safety, one thing is pretty clear about the automotive industry: They aren't talking about software when they say that.
Or, even better, build a minimal MVP (1-2 weeks dev time) and use this to attract attention and get feedback.
The answer to this is so obvious that I almost have to assume that you're not asking in good faith, unless your purpose is to point out the flaws in our society's views on economics. Tech companies like the ones mentioned are known for primarily producing non-essential luxury goods like smartphones or B2B services. The pharma companies under discussion are in many cases producing drugs that people must take in order to live.
Since they are only available in restaurants (until March 2019), this may have something to do with the preparation method used. I've read in reviews of the product that if you overcook it, such that all the pink color in the middle of the patty is eliminated, it does not taste as good.

I've had it in burger patty form on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickles, ketchup, mustard, and mayo. I've also had it crumbled up in vegan lasagna. Both ways tasted great.
Even better: a billionaire philanthropist to start a non-profit health insurance company that only works with its own chain of evidence-based providers and hospitals, combined with medical tourism. That would provide consumers with a cost-effective alternative and put pressure on the American hospital systems to bring down costs. Why wouldn't this work?
