Ask HN: I need help (basic living)
Hello all - I am a founder who quit job three years ago to work on my startup, pivoted two times, and when finally started seeing revenue I’ve burned through all savings and at the end of the runway. I am struggling to even pay for food, for the last two weeks I’ve been eating only one meal a day (Not because I am Jack Dorsey). Now I don’t have money any money left for next week, I am in a critical stage in my startup journey to do a second job.

I got engaged in between, invited people for wedding next month, but I still put everything into this startup. I need about $10,000 to eat myself, give rent, do an extremely simple wedding with just my close friends and family and pay for my immediate bills. I remind myself every day that I bought this for myself, and never thought I’d ask this publicly. At this point, I have to take a job and give up on my dream, but I chose to seek the mercy of the community and let go of my ego, I don’t want to give up on my startup for anything, so here I am..

I’ve been working really hard in the many past months, but I guess sometimes its just bad luck.

I am here to seek help from the community, if anyone can send me a few $ to help me keep going, Whatever I get today, I promise to give it back to the community when I am in a better position and to make this world a little better place. I am not sure if my story relate to anyone else, but I am just hoping if it did, someone will help me.

Here are a few proofs that I am was not just lazing around my time,

PS : I will reveal myself to anyone who help. Add email in note. and yes, I call myself a startup hero.
Is there a port to hit this from a real terminal?
While that would be ideal, I don't personally mind the phoning home if it only happens after the wake word and if the cloud service greatly improves the response capabilities it might otherwise have. Yes, the word can be heard by mistake, but that's just the risk trade-off I make.

I think a physical off switch would be good. At the moment I just unplug my Alexa if I'm particularly concerned it might hear something sensitive.

I know many HN readers are far more privacy-conscious than I am, but that's just how I think about it. I personally consider cybercriminals and people who dislike me far greater privacy and security risks to me than tech giants or even the US government.
But if you agreed to it in their TOS, is it illegal?
To the left's chagrin, the rightists have mostly come around to this way of thinking as well. All is not lost. We can always replace old institutions with newer ones.

Previously we got the news from large news-media firms. Now we know that we should ignore those firms if the topic is of any interest to the military-industrial complex. There are now independent journalists on youtube etc. to show us e.g. that there is no food crisis in Venezuela even if CNN can't stop itself from telling that lie.
I’m in a similar boat, but my teeth are pretty good. The one thing to look out for is bone loss caused by inflammation, which is why flossing is so important. Bone loss won’t cause your teeth to fall out until you are 60+, so it’s easy to ignore even if it shouldn’t.

That was never explained to me as a kid, so I never learned how to floss right or why it was important. I guess I can do a better job as a parent with that wisdom, at least.
Hair and nails don't continue growing after death, it's an illusion caused by the shrinkage/retraction of skin.
Odd you should mention this: I have suffered a total of four major depressive episodes including my first at age 29, which culminated in a massive barbiturate/alcohol OD in a serious attempt to commit suicide. Lucky for me, while I was unconscious I vomited and fell out of the bed I chose to die in, landing face down. After three days on a ventilator in a coma, I woke up — still seriously depressed. Then I was transferred to the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute, where I spent the summer of 1977 and recovered, being discharged on several medications including an antipsychotic. I remained on the drugs for about five years, then went off per my psychiatrist's OK. I was started back on antidepressants and antipsychotics after I became depressed for the second time, in 1991. This time I was able to self-admit myself to a psychiatric hospital before doing myself any harm. I remained on antipsychotics for five years or so, then for the second time withdrew per my psychiatrist's OK. In 2001 my third depression happened, and the usual drug regimen was reinstituted, with the caveat that I needed to stay on them for life. I was fine with that until 2013, when I decided I didn't want to be on them even though for me the side effects weren't that bad. I spent the entire year slowly tapering off each of the four drugs I was on, one at a time. Sure enough, in January 2015, when I was finally drug free, my fourth major depression struck. This one was — by far — the longest, lasting 1.75 YEARS. Once again, onto the usual drugs, but after I recovered in October of 2015, I decided that I'm never again going to stop taking them. As regards Big Pharma, I am thankful for it: without the drugs — and their side effects — I would died a long time ago.
> The kind of people who are giving the author PTSD aren't going to be helped by free housing, free money, or free anything other than free medical care, and in the extreme cases, institutionalization.

That isn't really true. Even among those with mental illness, we can divide those into two groups, those whose illness isn't treatable using current methods and those who are.

For the first case, "free healthcare" doesn't work, because they're incurable. The only real option for a violent person with an incurable mental illness is prison or something so similar to prison as makes no difference in practice.

For the second case, free money does work, because when the problem is access to healthcare, money can be used to buy healthcare. (And when the problem is something else, money can be used to buy something else.) Particularly when you combine this with some kind of system for a homeless person to be evaluated by a doctor when referred by someone like this librarian. Because once they go to the doctor and get what they need in terms of medication, once they're on the medication they would have the wherewithal to use the money to continue taking the medication (and then ideally get into a state where they no longer have to live on the street).
> That could be said about a lot of things. I have not seen a project fail because they didn't use tests, so you shouldn't bother to write any?

This is a false equivalency. Commit messages do not validate that the program functions. I can just throw random garbage into the commit messages and the program with tests will still function.

I know what you are trying to convey, I just think it's a bad comparison.
For something similar which is meant for actual real-world use, see SRC: http://www.catb.org/~esr/src/
That's different. While still very bad, one is omission, and one is full-on deceit.

Postgres is not an appropriate choice for a data warehouse, because it isn’t optimized for scans. You want either Snowflake or BigQuery. They’re easy to use and they’re so fast that you’ll be able to do most of your work using very simple, un-optimized SQL queries.

Using HDFS or Parquet-in-S3 raises the complexity of your infrastructure a LOT and I’m not hearing a good reason for it. I wrote a blog post about when you should adopt a data lake, it might help you evaluate this choice:

Of course rendering curves is expensive. It's the law of spline demand.
To suggest an alternative, all devices capable of internet communication must allow their traffic to be decrypted by their owner (how that password gets set is up to the individual device). This would allow owners who care to set up a man in the middle and confirm that all outgoing (and maybe even incoming) traffic to the device is what they expect. Any outgoing message that is not decryptable or not expected would be a red flag (which the vendor could try to explain if it is a non-spy message like an unusual error code).

Cryptographically I believe it is possible to encrypt a message such that either the user's key or the vendor's key can decrypt, but I'm not 100% sure.

> We closed the asylums, because the long-term detention of the mentally ill is costly and inhumane. We can do better than just warehousing people in pseudo-prisons.

How?

This is a serious question.

Right now, we are housing them in open-air prisons - the various homeless ghettos in Vancouver, San Francisco, Seattle, etc.

What exactly do you propose we do for someone who is unable to, due to mental illness:

1. Maintain their living space, or themselves in a remotely neighborly manner. (All the problems the librarian faces? Imagine living in a shelter/state housing, next door to that.)

2. Take their medicine.

3. (Bonus). Do anything, or consent to do anything about their substance abuse problem.

These are not traits that most homeless people have. Most homeless people can be immediately helped by housing first, etc, etc. But these are traits that some homeless people have. And since you're hand-wringing about institutionalization, I would like to hear what you propose, as an alternative for them.

I did use BigQuery in the startup I was working for before, and it worked wonders for our 12Tb of data. I think it would be a bit overkill in our situation---even though not having to manage a DB is great.
On balance I would go hosted too, for everything, but I am sympathetic to the argument that they can roll their own cheaper, especially at non-SV rates. I think it's possible.
It bears noting that SRC is a wrapper around RCS or SCCS; the magic sauce for maintaining integrity and history is offloaded to the backend systems.

(Incidentally, I agree that the SCCS port to be rather funny[1].)

That there are no randomized control studies is hardly surprising: nobody would ethically assign a person into the "no dental care" control group.

I am reminded of the randomized control study they did on parachutes which showed that parachutes were useless. Of course, to ethically allow people to jump out of an airplane without a parachute, they made sure the jump was not more than a meter and a half off the ground.

What that satirical study actually showed is that randomized control studies don't always make sense.
Yeah, if there's nothing after the final !- in an atom, it means the atom is in <ROOT>. (See section 15.5 in the manual.)

I'm not sure what the purpose of things like <RETURN!-> and <ORB!-> is. It could have something to do with the way they implemented Z-machine opcodes as MDL atoms, i.e. <RETURN!-> forces it to use the MDL SUBR instead of the opcode? Maybe they moved the MDL atoms that collided with Z-machine opcodes to a separate OBLIST, and this was needed to access them from MDL code in the same file?

I never figured that part out, so when ZILF is generating code, it uses the same OBLISTs it used while interpreting and just looks things up by their PNAMEs.

SETG20 and DEFINE20 are used in "MDL-ZIL" files, where routines are defined with DEFINE instead of ROUTINE, global variables are created with SETG instead of GLOBAL, etc. Presumably that was a way to run the games in MDL during development to avoid recompiling them. SETG20 and DEFINE20 are aliases for the MDL versions of SETG and DEFINE.
Carbonated water is very mildly acidic.

Sodas (the sweetened ones), which I’m guessing are what GP is mostly referring to (what with the mention of sugar earlier in the paragraph) have sugar, which may encourage the growth of bacteria that are detrimental to teeth; and some of the flavorings are more acidic or react chemically with enamel to dissolve it.
5 or 6 years ago I saw a presentation of Joe in Infoq. There he said "solution of the dining philosophers problem is to give fork to everyone". It really made me interested in actor based system.

> everything compiles to the same assembler code so lets not pretend these languages are doing magical things.

They don‘t and many of the dynamic features of Python (and Ruby) cannot be efficiently compiled. That‘s why it relies heavily on C modules.
Random acts of kindness was a popular phrase when I was a teen. It always struck me as a motto for a psychopath, see someone in need, roll a die, and then act. I know that wasn’t the intent. But it should have been, strive for more kindness. But it is ieasier for folks to act once and feel better than to change their median behavior. It seems like one time changes don’t move the average, that behavior is conserved and we do worse things at other times but our ego masks any sort of self reflection.
Empathy is a concern for some fellow human beings, not all. I think you'll find that most people draw the lines of empathy around the identity group to which they belong and exclude from empathy those their group has identified as the "other."

Empathy is an evolutionary tool for promoting group cohesiveness. It's not likely to extend to all human beings, unless we make contact with a hostile alien civilization.
As a 20-something, I moved away from home and neglected to find a new dentist. I kept putting it off, but to make myself feel better, I brushed more aggressively and more often (after every meal and snack). After 8-10 years of this, I didn't have any cavities, however I had the start of gum erosion. This grew worse, and I eventually had to have a gum graft. That's a procedure that I would not recommend to anybody.
I once saw a line that went something like, "to a systems programmer, all users and applications serve merely to provide a test load". There are plenty of people who just want to build stuff, and oh by the way it would be handy if we had some users to test the technology:)
This is so sad. RIP Joe. I'll miss him so much.

Erlang is one of the most Perlis languages for me. I'm always a little bit cynical and think Erlang deserve more attention. Several months ago Joe post this tweet about a game company refused to tell other people they are using Erlang.

Well, when several people are working on the same project they "share" the transformed data by connecting to the same EC2 instance. The way data is transformed is via 4 scripts, 2 notebooks and a bunch of manual operations, so no one really wants to touch that. I spent my 4th day working with a contractor to write a Makefile that reproduces all the steps for ONE project.

I talk about adding infrastructure in my original post, but I'm very well aware that my time is currently better spent consolidating the existing as much as I can so the clients can get correct results faster.
Because some guy in some library used by a library in an SDK I use didn't set a fixed version for his dependency which has been updated and has a serious bug in it... My app isn't working. Now I have to go through my requirements and set the exact versions that worked last time we released, have an enormous requirements file, and I'll probably never touch it again and have stale dependencies. Yeah... I don't like pip
It's not just the side effects, it's also that antipsychotics don't really target the "negative" symptoms of schizophrenia such as anhedonia and avolition, which can be just as destructive to the prospect of a stable and fulfilling life as delusions and hallucinations.

Anecdotal comments, in my opinion, are particularly unhelpful when it comes to dentistry. Many people have teeth prone to all kinds of problems despite perfect hygiene and brushing. Others have, essentially, indestructible teeth. The last time I went to the dentist was 27 years ago. I was told I had three cavities that needed filling. Never got it taken care of. Nearly 30 years later, teeth are working great. But, like I said, I don’t draw conclusions from this as there are others — apparently — who brush twice a day, see the dentist regularly, and nevertheless have a mouthful of problems.
I tried to use the search and couldn’t find anything authoritative.
It is different. Corporations can then go and list their holdings as a REIT on a Stock Exchange, thus allowing the general public to benefit from their arrangement. When private ownership is renting housing, you have either Banks (in the case of servicing debt) or individuals profiting at the expense of the general public.
Well, then you can go and prove that. :) Because the lack of evidence in either direction (wrt cognitive load and commit messages) points us towards the null hypothesis. In my own experience, fixing bugs in C code long abandoned by the original authors, it doesn't matter one bit if the commit message reads like a novel or literally just "fsjdlkfdjlsfl fskjl". All that matters is the change is self-contained and references bug tracker ids and mailing list discussions.

Also in my experience, passive-aggressive power trippers love anal retentive rules. Hence adding more than necessary carries a significant risk.
I wonder if one can readily track toothbrush [handle] and jaw movements tightly enough to produce a "brushing map" indicating areas that are getting less attention.

Or perhaps a special brush with accelerometers (or other sensors? cameras in the head?) would be needed?
I’m interested in learning that model, but a readme in there that explains how to go from nothing to a deployment might help.

My parents made me floss, but I hated it, so when I went to college I quit. Then I had a dentist make me promise to take it up again for just two weeks, which I did. At the end I thought, "Finally, I can quit this stupid annoying waste of time once and for all." I stopped for one night and the next morning I woke up with the most disgusting taste in my mouth I had ever experienced. I haven't missed a day of flossing since then, and it has been 30+ years.

Life hack: use POH brand dental floss, the white stuff, not the black. It's much thinner than the competition and so it's much easier to use.

The rationale is that everyone interested has been doing this with redirects (for years) in non standardised and often opaque ways.

So it’s better to standardize and make it transparent.

E.g. google search results get rewritten to redirects as soon as you hover over them or press them (and are redirects in the first place with JS off). Have been for at least 8 years now.

The median physician salary is $217,000, and the average family doctor oversees a panel of 2,300 people, who see him or her about 20 minutes, two or three times a year.

There is not a sustainable system where workers pay taxes sufficient to afford a specially trained nurse or doctor for full time, personal care for everyone who could benefit from it.

If we don’t have social networks that shoulder burdens at what looks like an economic loss, there’s not enough paid care to go around at the levels of empathy we want.
