Don't forget that large companies and established players typically are extremely bad in listening to their customers or providing good support since it doesn't scale well for them to do so. Even if the product is the same, you can steal marketshare by being responsive to your customers and being able to iterate at a quicker pace than the larger competitors.

Competition isn't bad - that just means there's a market large enough for different companies to want to fight for a share of.

Copying ideas is highly underrated.

Competition is a fantastic signal of an existing market where customers are likely used to paying. I think the fear of replicating an existing idea is usually overblown while in reality every founder/entrepreneur ends up giving the solution his/her own unique touch. Even if you're blindly copying an existing product, you cannot help but add your past experience and your taste for products in it.

I elaborated more on this in my essay: https://invertedpassion.com/copying-ideas-is-highly-underrat...
I tried this with a c++ class surely I can just recompile the final project somewhere towards the end of the class and everything will totally work!

It didn't go well.

It is true that films are more expensive to produce, however:

(a) there are fewer films produced every year than music albums, and therefore the revenue can be shared among fewer producers,

(b) most expensive films are released to theatres first and many reach break-even during this period, and

(c) a comprehensive film streaming service can easily be more expensive than a music one, say $20/mo or more.

They provide a lot of references in the article to other research that make similar claims from both proprietary and much larger open source projects. At the very least the "Hero model" seems to be as prevalent outside open source as it is in open source.

The purpose of the paper was to test and infer from a larger dataset, which open source provides more easily then proprietary.

That being said, it really seems like the research was highly guided by an agenda, and I'm not sure how much one can take from this research.

I have been looking for something like this! My use case is a minimal CMS back-end and admin interface.

Basically adding some dynamic content to a otherwise static site that the user(s) can change themselves.

The 1mb site would be an admin interface for changing the content in the DB, the 1mb DB serving the content to the front-end hosted elsewhere.

I'll have to try this out. Very cool.
Right, we want to define 0^0 in a way that fits in with the usual rules of exponentiation. The problem is that 0^n is always 0 for nonzero n, but a^0 is always 1 for nonzero a. So 0^0 can't continue both of these patterns by being both 0 and 1.

One of the nice reasons to choose 1 over 0 for 0^0 is to make the statement "the cardinality of the set of functions from a size n set to a size m set is m^n". There's exactly one function from the empty set to itself.
Few years ago there was a documentary about the rise of banks in France during the 20th century. One segment talked about country side spread of agencies, with farmes being interviewed.

Brilliant advice.

I've have been on the exact journey you described - the idea that won't leave me alone (probably 6 years old now), Googled early on to see if anyone else had built it yet; found two existing companies pursuing the same thing, but in two different ways that don't quite match my own.

I've been sitting on the idea for the last two or three years (it still won't leave me alone), and it has now evolved significantly. Fortunately, due to a rare moment of foresight, I've been keeping a journal capturing thoughts around the idea as I've had them, so I've now got a really nice record of the original concept, iterations, evolutions and adjacencies. The best part though, is that I have a record of the excitement that this idea gives me (re-kindled every time I read it), which is a great pick-me-up when the self-doubt takes hold.

I am now entering my last months of employment as I ready myself to jump in and make it real!

this story i keep hearing about tap water beeing just as good as bottle one is really starting to get on my nerves.

people don’t spend their money and carry huge loads of water bottles if they can have the equivalent for « free » at home. If they do it’s because the tap water infrastructure (as a whole, up to the kitchen’s tap) alter the taste and quality of the water badly enough, even in the cases where the original source is of comparable quality.
I haven't listened to the audio yet (can't do it right now), but I guess professional voice workers for non-fiction texts tend to use a neutral, maybe slightly robotic voice because that's the industry standard.

Good point. I probably assumed it due to the "brief period" language, but you're right, that's highly ambiguous.

I tried the adjustment to the Apple way from 2010 to 2018. By the end of it I realized that "tinkering" has an equivalent in the Apple world and it is called "upgrading." These two terms are almost synonymous in the pain which they will cause. By the end of my journey I had a firm "one major version upgrade per iOS device" rule and a desktop OS upgrade experience that was driving me crazy, because random CAD app wouldn't support the new OS, but another app wouldn't support the mainstream-old OS anymore.

I won't say that tinkering is totally productive, but 1) personally my tinkering on Linux has led to technology development and I'm the type of guy who benefits from that anyway, and 2) I believe the pain you leave behind in lost productivity is at least offset by 25% instant upgrade-related stress for each Apple device in your household or sphere of personal work activity.

Even just constrained to hardware, the horror stories about new Apple devices alone made me doubt my HW upgrade plans. By itself that was enough to make me wonder if I was about to throw away thousands.

Unsurprisingly I felt like there were things Apple could do to make this all better, but like you said, they cannot be made to do what you like :-)
Ask HN: Case study approach to teach computer science fundamentals?
There was a thread in HN on how to teach coding / computer science subjects. I couldn't help but relate to my MBA days and juxtapose it with my Comp Sci undergrad days.
In MBA classes, case studies are the norm.A real world situation is given, the students go through the case, find possible solutions, discuss with professors and the professor introduces the theory only at the end of the case.
Students go through dozens of case studies in each of the subjects as part of the course and are judged on the merit of their arguments and some assignments. What does HN think of introducing such an approach to teach CS fundamentals (Algorithms , DS and advanced topics)? Does such a thing already exist?

Edit : Forgot to add that the case study approach certainly helps relate theory to practise and make a student hit the ground running.

I think a lot of people are missing the point about what actually makes a startup work in the early stages: a reliable and affordable route to customers. If you have this then go for it. If you don’t, then your real first step is to find this. Without this you won’t be able to compete.
I usually loose inspiration when I've thought the idea through and concluded whether it could be done, and whether it could be successful. If I know how to build it, that's generally enough. Like The FinalKey, yes, I'm using it every day, and I'm very happy with it, and many of those I've given one are very happy with it, and can't understand that I didn't pursue it further.. Well, it was done! and now there is FIDO and Mooltipass, so it's not needed anymore anyway, so I get to move on to something else.

Unfortunately, this may already be the case with people who graduate from medical assistant and physician assistant schools. From what I hear from doctors is that the quality of these graduates are sub-par. They are usually confident in their medical knowledge while repeatedly failing to show the conscientiousness needed to practice medicine without harm.
I forkbombed our server once by accident. I normally code a snippet at a time, see if it works, then go a little bit farther. Unfortunately you don't really want to have a loop with a fork in it with no exit condition. Really failed to think that one through.

What questions do you ask yourself to develop your ideas further?
You restaurant analogy fails, because restaurants are at a fixed physical location and the seats are constrained. I find Ben Thompson's "Aggregation Theory" quite insightful on this topic: https://stratechery.com/2015/aggregation-theory/

That's not to say that you cannot be successfull running a small service, but it needs to be differentiated in some way and not just copy the existing ones (which works fine for a chinese restaurant if there isn't one in that part of the town).
A family farm is a bit more than a business though. It's someones career, skill set, home, upbringing, lifestyle and local culture.

This is an issue that’s overblown, simply have a firewall that exposes used ports and you’re fine.

The fact that Ostrom's work isn't better known is one of the tragedies of our times. It's as though people heard of tragedy of the commons, decided it excused bad behavior or apathy, and refused to hear how the tragedy of the commons is to be avoided.

You could just use 1 as the initial element though. Peano's axioms would become

1 != Sn
Sn = Sm implies n=m
n + 1 = Sn
n + Sm = S(n + m)
n × 1 = n
n × Sm = (n × m) + n
Induction

That's not any more complex than the usual set of axioms.

Thanks for putting into words what I had suspected for so long. Apple is really good at identifying what the vast majority of people (aka normal users) want to do with their computer and then they optimize these workflows. But if you want to do something more exotic you are usually out of luck.

Talking to Apple enthusiasts is really tough. It's almost as you are speaking a different language. Of course, in the end of the day a computer is just a tool. They are happy with what they can do with their machine and I am happy with my machine. But they have a hard time understanding why I see their system as limiting.
You seem to be implying that something near complete safety is practical with enough work. I'm not sure this is the case. A big problem with all endeavors, and not just space, is that things that work (or don't work) in theory somehow often end up doing the exact opposite in practice. This is why things become more safe at scale: you get to see those abnormal conditions play out in reality, and work to prevent such failures in the future. In rocketry we're still babies. We've launched, in total, something like 8000 rockets - hundreds have failed. And we've only launched around 600 humans to space on a small fraction of those 8,000 launches.

Just consider something like a software launch. No matter how much effort you expend trying to make things go perfectly, or how many months of beta testing you engage in - something's going to go wrong. And that's in a nearly completely deterministic environment. Space travel involves countless external nondeterministic factors. Another big difference is that in the software world we get instantaneous scale - up to millions of instantaneous independent trials. Spaceflight advances one costly trial at a time. In the entire history of rocketry, we haven't even begun to approach scale and so all the pretext of safety we could ever elevate is just that - a pretext.

It's for this reason that being open about risk and danger is important. It's also why I think aiming for complete safety can be paradoxically harmful. It creates scenarios where open discussion of danger and risk becomes taboo since it can result in negative consequences. The most critical factor in all of this should be informed consent. Making risk taboo goes directly against that.
Why do people keep recommending this book? It's someone trying to reason by metaphor with thermodynamics instead of just doing the basic game theory.

I guess that's how I felt about his comment, and I probably should have left alone
If you have some developer that wants to write something in a new (for your company) language, or even worse goes off and does so without asking, because he wants to try it out, you probably want to fire that guy. Either he doesn't understand the downsides or he does, but doesn't care.

What if it has the potential to be a much better tool for the job than the mainstream options, and your developer thinks it's worth trying it to find out?

I've seen this situation with adopting a relatively unusual language for a task that needed particularly high reliability. Yes, it was a concern that only one person currently working in the organisation knew much about it and that it might be harder to hire help if more developers were required later. On the other hand, that software was developed faster than the similar system it was due to supersede, and it had a much lower rate of reported bugs once deployed.

Of course you don't want to hire people who intend to pad their resumes with extra buzzwords on your dollar when it has no business benefit, but equally, if you never use tools that aren't chosen from among a small set of mainstream options, you'll never outperform what you can do with mainstream tools.
