Tips to Take Your Business from Ordinary to Extraordinary
Well, I can definitely say I'm not an expert at it. Theoretically you might have more experience than me. But my job has me reading lots of open source code to try to learn about poorly documented APIs, so I've been kind of forced into it.

For me, I just try to follow the data and logic flow from beginning to where I want to do things. Though if I see something like a "strategy" pattern I ignore it unless I really need to know how it works; same goes for other code branches that seem unimportant to the greater program. You absolutely should use something like an IDE where you can move around quickly and get neat features like jumping to a class definition, find usages, etc. in case you get lost. It definitely takes time and isn't something you can just sit down and do for 8 hours straight. I generally can only look at code for 90 minutes before my eyes start glazing over and I need to take a break.

Imo it is just semantics. I, personally, prefer to just separate those as "physical addiction/dependency" vs "psychological addiction/dependency". For example, xanax would qualify as physical, while cannabis as psychological.

P.S. Not trying to say that one can't use cannabis without being addicted, it is absolutely possible. But psychological dependence potential is there. Realistically, almost anything can be psychologically addicting imo

The scarcity problem is well understood in the Bay Area: government works hard to disallow new housing. Cities here zoning for lots of jobs, but they do not allow residences for those who work at those jobs.

The irrationality is simply bad planning by local governments. They are extremely strict in what they allow, and they do it in a way that maximizes profits for current residents, at the expense of anybody who comes along later (through birth or migration). This is pure regulatory capture.
I think you are mostly right, but I don't think the major cloud providers have much of an uncrossable moat. Cloud services are and will continue to become more and more commoditized.

Sure, there is proprietary lock-in. But because of OSS, it is also becoming easy to avoid the lock-in. For example, rather than use a hosted elastic service, I was able to launch an elastic stack on k8s in less than an hour of configuration. It's able to scale up and down in the cluster and do everything I need. So if I need to easily change providers, all I need is someone who offers hosted k8s (or any provider if I decide to self manage down the line). We are in the process of doing the same with our DB and will migrate from a hosted Aurora instance.

It looks like ovh is now offering managed k8s. DO just launched theirs, countless others have as well or are about to.

I am running on gke right now because it was easiest. But there will be little keeping me from migrating down the road since k8s + helm + a few other tools are making it easier and easier to launch your own services.

I imagine if it doesn't exist yet, someone will create a nifty little tool to connect up two separate k8s clusters and seemlessly migrate everything over. There are few barriers to keep that from happening.

Not sure how it is in different countries but in Sweden I haven't heard of anyone using an agent on the buying side. Not sure anyone would need one.

I personally think the whole real estate agent thing is a huge scam that will be solved with tech pretty soon. There are already options here for selling your house yourself through a DIY agency that just provides the boiler plate legal papers needed for 1/10th the cost. The only thing a conventional real estate agent does extra on that is pretty much host the showings.

Facebook Takes Steps to Prevent Bias in the Way It Shows Ads
It's been a really long time since I saw that movie, but to my memory only one of them (the successful one) was a scammer.

One scene that stuck in my memory -- SPOILER ALERT -- was when one of the agents, who desperately needed to sell because he hadn't been able to sell in a long time and his job depended on it, finally thought he sold a home to a couple he had spent all this time and effort on, only to find out they have no money and just like talking to agents.

That actually happens. People will just waste a ton of real estate agents' time, with absolutely no intention to buy.

Real estate agents just get constantly jerked around, lied to, and cheated. That's just a fact of life for a real estate agent. I would never in a million years want to be one because of how constantly you get screwed -- and don't even get paid for your effort.

Not necessarily. I bought my first house without an agent from a seller who was selling by owner.

When Project Stream closed down, Google and Ubisoft did give everyone who played a copy of Assassin's Creed Odyssey they could play via Uplay. As much as these companies really don't want to talk about "when we inevitably shutdown", I feel like a lot of player trust would be established if there was a clear commitment to that.
Google is launching a game-streaming service called Stadia
I'm not so sure. To play devil's advocate, this may make games cheaper even without ads. Developers want to not worry about disparate hardware, Google wants you in their ecosystem. Buying google devices, using google services, etc. Content creators want this for better interaction with fans.
You're advocating for auto-playing videos and sound, proprietary resource-gobbling flash content, and the nonconsensual abuse of user data? Yes, what a golden age that was.

It is a much more persuasive argument that the new controls are simply a reaction to bad actors who corrupted the value the original web provided. Sure, when the internet was a smaller village, nobody needed to lock their door: but then the village turned into the city, and locks became necessary. It seems strange to blame the locks for the reason they are needed.

The rampant NIMBYism hurts renters by constraining supply as well as well. Even if you don't want to own, you're still suffering.

(Though honestly I think the rental prices are lagging behind a bit. The home prices have truly become insane; I just watched a 4 bedroom in Burlingame that was bought for $2.3M in Oct 2017 sell for $5.1M; i.e., a 118% return in 15 months.)

A small percentage on top of the 2-3% processing fees seems like a small cost of doing business if it means you can sell more subscriptions.

His viewpoint isn't that uncommon either, plenty of businesses buy fully loaded MacBook Pros in bulk because it increases productivity. If you're using the laptop for work, you'll be connected to an external monitor and keyboard 90% of the time.
yeah probably

I've run a lot of companies/product launches this way and there are decent escrow services now. People really shouldn't waste their lives attempting social media any other way. The cheapening factor will probably reduce their dopamine addition to social media as well.

A lot of fraud (between the buyer and seller) can be prevented if the platforms helped people sell and escrow accounts, taking a cut there too. Instagram, Patreon, Youtube could be making a lot of money from this.
People know, understand and trust Patreon. That's it really.
I read this before going to Nepal for some NGO work a few years back. The premise of the book is that many, many things can be solved with clean water and sleep, and that's helped give me the confidence to explore deeper in parts of the world where there really aren't doctors.

That's what happens when you build a store architecture where its the only way to release an app.
When stores were introduced offering built-in DRM, not allowing native apps, and only providing a license to use the software, it was only a matter of time before these things happened. Having no control or ownership of what you put on your machine was a death sentence.
Problem is, people love stores like Steam and frequently defend it when its nothing more than a Google App store. Despite having no ownership of their games, draconian return policy, and games permanently locked to your account.

IMO one of the problems with monetization is that the price ends up being too high. I'd love to have Pocket Premium. Just not enough to spend $45 a year for a bookmarking service.

I see way too much focus on the value of whatever they're selling and no focus at all on what else I could do with that money. I'd gladly pay $8 or $10 a year for a good bookmarking service, but not $45.
I feel we have taste of this with wikimedia foundation. A lot of people complain that "They only use wikipedia, why would I donate to something that then funnels money to other projects." Which is of course a rather counterproductive view since for-profit companies routinely funnel money from profit-centers to new projects (and this results in NEW profit-centers/great projects, it's just some of them suck, which is fine).
I was replying to ApolloFortyNine. I definitely agree an agent who knows what they're doing can make a difference in the sale and have happily paid realtors in my life as well. I don't agree that that advice is somehow variable relative to the price of the sale.
The [dupe] tag is mostly put on by moderators. The intention is to indicate that a story has already received front-page attention on HN within the last year or so (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). Articles are considered the same story if they don't contain significant new information compared to the previous discussion. This is a matter of interpretation, and no doubt we make the wrong call sometimes. If you notice a case of that, your best bet is to email us at hn@ycombinator.com. We always look, and often change.

(Disclaimer: I work for a tech company in the real estate industry. Opinions are my own.)

> It blows my mind that the fees are percentage based. The amount of work required for an agent on a 100K house is very similar to that of a 2 Mill house.

Negotiating a $100,000 purchase or sale is an order of magnitude less lower stakes than negotiating a $2,000,000 purchase or sale. If you're a real estate agent and you're able to negotiate 5% up or down on the final sale price on a $2,000,000 house, that's equivalent to the entire value of the $100,000 house. It's not the same job. You could make the exact same argument about salesmen who are paid commission (which is almost exactly the same job as a seller's agent).

> but for both the seller and buyer agents, the number of deals done far outweighs slight incremental selling prices

There's definitely a bias for getting a deal done from the agent's perspective--moreso than for other sales or procurement agents because closing deals unblocks deal flow. I think this gets balanced out by the principals (buyers and sellers themselves) having final say on whether to extend or accept an offer.
How does it cut the next generation off at the knees?

You are asking those who work hard to avail a certain standard of life to be altruistic? How is this logical?

Why do you think someone would work 10-12-14 hours a day? Spend 2 hours commuting..take no vacations..take enormous risks with low pay for a start up to maybe hit the big leagues? They are risk takers. Risk takers and A types are not altruistic.

And yet..these are the people who made Bay Area desirable.

And immigrants. These are people who were so unhappy with their native countries(not coincidentally, in the Bay Area..this is majority from high population countries) that they were willing to double down and work hard and deal with immigration and leave family, language and culture behind to start a new life in a strange country.

You are asking these immigrants to say YES IN MY BACKYARD? Do you see the irony and/or the humour in that expectation?

If one wants someone to unclench their fists and give up something, then there has to be an incentive for them to do it. You are looking for altruism amongst the crushed middle class. What do they get back in return?

Convert NIMBYs with community benefits or better roads or recreational spots in the city or better schools or just about anything that would make their quality of life better.
What kind of negotiation is it to ask someone to sacrifice their deeply held beliefs and fond desires for the promise of WORSENING quality of life? How will this tactic even work?

Of course you can overdose on them. Even a sub-threshold dose of psilocin can kill many rabbits. Some brains just can't handle the alterations in perception these agents induce. I still fail to see how that's the agent's fault, and not the person who put it in themselves, especially if they're being cavalier, or showing off, or mixing things they aren't prepared to handle.

I can't go into the details of my friend requiring medical attention without violating confidences, but I can say their own behavior and attitude towards the experience beforehand were, let's call it "materially contributory" to their experience during and after.
