I was talking about populations, not nations. The governments very much do, but often not with popular approval (see military engagements to secure economic interests). There's no popular support to pressure poor countries on climate change or pollution. If that existed, I'm sure that Western governments would have no second thoughts about applying pressure.

Show HN: Founder Chats – Connecting Hacker News Founder Community
Hi HN community!

A huge number of startup founders are reading Hacker News, but it's still very hard to make new personal connections here and help each other with product building, growth, or fundraising.

As an experiment to make HN founder community more connected, I've created a system of chat groups, organized by location, industry sector, and priority tasks.

We were testing it out for the last couple of weeks, starting with 200+ YCombinator alum companies. Now already have 1000+ startups there, and 80+ venture investors have joined to connect with founders early. Many pitch practices scheduled, intros made, spontaneous meetups planned, and even a few seed rounds have been raised using chat intros there.

>USPS continues to bleed money but that's due to the mandate from Congress about pre-funding pensions. That's a requirement that nobody else has - see the articles about the 3rd-largest coal company declaring bankruptcy and shedding its pension obligations.

The USPS hasn't actually made those payments in years.

All that the USPS has to do is put aside enough money to pay for pension obligations they incur. That's not "pre-funding" anything. It's paying for an expense that the business incurs. If they can't do it then they're bankrupt and should be reorganized so that they don't incur expenses they can't pay. Coal companies going bankrupt and shedding pension obligations is exactly the thing that's trying to be avoided.

" if Google can make a profit on such an overall-good phone at $400"

Are we sure they're making much of a profit from sale of the phone? Google literally pays Apple billions to be the default search engine on the iPhone. If they can chip away at Apple's market share, every user they can convert to Android will save them money and thus generate profit but indirectly. If your goal is to simply convert an Apple user to an Android user you can price the phone very competitively or even afford to take a loss.

Yes, it is ethical to put military research to the best use we can. Whether logistical systems, trauma medicine, personal weapons, or encryption, all those improve our efficiency, our safety, our leisure, and our privacy.

Wars aside, the military is a place where practical problems are encountered daily, and the solutions battle-tested at scale. It's reasonably safety-minded and cost-aware (spicy anecdotes aside).

Moreover, it's helps a lot when the research isn't walled off by stringent IP regulations.

>Unless we are talking about content marketing, then we are not in an era of long form sales copy. Who has the patience?

Even content marketing tends towards shorter content these days. Sure, there's the occasional in-depth longer-form piece about some topic that really demands more words or longer video/audio. But, in general like it or not, the trend is towards bite-size chunks, more graphical, easier to consume content.

Unfortunately, there's something a bit formulaic about a lot of digital marketing content. That doesn't mean it can't also be useful and engaging. But a lot of branded formulaic content (e.g. the mini-Dummies books) makes me roll my eyes a bit but it can be really effective.
Just a nit, as petre said the 80km number you use as a radius seems high. Chernobyl was 30km, Fukushima looks to be between 30-40km on it's longest stretch. But even the more realistic 30km number is still more than enough to potentially hit most of southern Luxembourg where all the population is, if that's the way the wind was blowing.

The implication of France having a nuclear accident that causes damage to neighboring Luxembourg is that France is at fault and owes reparation to Luxembourg. Or that France should not be allowed by international law to do something like this that puts Luxembourg at risk.

If that's the case we must also accept the same thinking for the nations affected by climate change against the largest emitters of CO2. Which will put many nations, including Luxembourg which is a huge emitter of CO2 per capita (above the USA) on the hook. Things are complicated.
It seems like this is another example of every aspect of web development getting more complicated, favoring the larger players. On the other hand, it's good that in this case, any website could just buy the results of that expertise.

Same, should've added that but my agency mostly deals with web apps or custom integrations to more simple websites such as client portals, custom admin panels, or custom e-commerce.

Also, if you're looking to niche and don't have a client in the chosen industry, you can use other success stories in the industry to the same effect.
Our first client in one industry we got because I set up a meeting with one of the companies in the industry that had recently made a large update to their website like we would like to do for others in the industry. Sat with the COO that told me all the improvements they've seen, increased revenue, & other advantages to the website overhaul. I took that info to another similar (but not direct competitor) company and said we could offer the same advantages with a similar product. Literally walked into their office and introduced myself, gave a business card, then followed up with a few emails to various people in the business until the Owner called me up one day out of the blue. Had a contract signed a month later.
I feel like this is about the 347th time some variation of this has been attempted. None of them have "stuck" yet AFAIK. But what the hey, I'm game to give it a shot.

Well it's certainly something watching this doc get live edited by so many people.

Probably the most ill advised way to post content tho, because the recommendations are actually quite good and simple. Unfortunately, it's getting vandalized pretty hard.

Not to mention, now absolutely noone should trust following a link from that document, which is also unfortunate, because you had various links to otherwise monetize this free content by redirecting to paid product (which I think is an absolutely fair way to monetize), but now noone can or should trust the links due to editability of the document. Fun experiment tho.
> If you say everyone should do something, but you are _unwilling_ to do it first, it's hypocrisy.

Saying we should do something, meaning all of us collectively, and saying individuals should do something are two different assertions, though the verbiage is sometimes precisely the same. A person can very logically, and without hypocrisy, state that everyone should cut their CO2 output drastically to save the planet (which would be effective and help, and would also require major changes in infrastructure, law, and government) without taking drastic steps of their own (which would not be effective and would not help in any perceptible way).

Collective action problem.

> There are many examples in history where individuals stood up for a belief and lead the way to change.

This isn't a hypothetical. It's a worthwhile exercise to consider whether the hippies who have actually been taking drastic steps to lower their environmental footprint since the sixties have moved the needle at all, in terms of actual environmental degradation, public perception, or in terms of politics. Also consider whether they might have been more effective by working and spending money and effort engaging in mainstream politics and living like the rest of us.

> Hypocrisy from leadership (whoever they are) robs people of motivation and compassion towards both the subject and the message. (ie, climate change)

This might actually be true. An electorate that points at Al Gore and says "that guy uses a lot of CO2 so clearly this whole climate change thing is bullshit" is too stupid to live and will come to a bad end. I live in hope that at least a plurality of us will eventually be a lot smarter than that.

Why don't we put our plastic in landfills then instead of trying to send it out of country?

Serious question. I mean people are acting like the fact that the Chinese government is stamping out the business of exporting trash is a crisis. Is it possible we can just dump it in a landfill?

If so, why not just do that?

If not, ok, then I understand why everyone is up in arms.
> git diff --staged

The way it worked well was that the "--staged" flag would be implied if you had already staged some files to be committed.

But on this day I noticed that nothing bad happened from that behavior. So I time traveled back and whispered to the git devs that the interface should be made more pedantic to keep users from relying too much on git to do the right thing for them.

Now it's great because users suffer and I have plausible deniability from this now being on par with the rest of git's interface.
Re: Modern practices like 'Microservice Architecture' can be thought of as an application of this law (The Unix Philosophy), where services are small, focused and do one specific thing, allowing complex behaviour to be composed from simple building blocks.

An oop class or API can do the same thing. Microservices are overkill unless multiple applications will be sharing the service, and even then may have unnecessary overhead compared to say stored procedures.

It is sad that all the comments are basically implying that MS, or any company by extension, should just accept IP infringement by Chinese rather than take action against it.

How the hell did we get in this mess....

Why don't companies understand that Chinese market is a one off access. The moment some Chinese company copies IP, that access is gone. It's a very myopic strategy to accept such losses as a trade-off for doing business in China.
You're absolutely right. I expect[ed] articles on HN to make a credible attempt at being true, ideally independently verifiably so. "Did Emilia Bassano ghost-write Shakespeare works? Most likely not." would be a slightly more intellectually honest presentation, given the extraordinarity of the claim, the paucity of positive evidence, the presence of negative evidence, and it being 1 out of 66 other competing claims at being Shakespeare [0]. Leaving one more quote from article, re: the rabbit hole the author just happened to stumble into out of intellectual curiosity.

> US manufacturers sell those drugs abroad at the cost of production

Not everyone agrees with that statement.

First of all, purchasing negotiations are all secret. US manufactures could very well be saying one thing, and doing another.

Donald Trump said something along those lines some time ago, calling EU "Freeloaders". There is a Wall Street Journal article echoing his comments.

Here's an answer from EU's Health Commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis:

China is in the earlier phase of industrialization where the focus is on escaping poverty/building wealth over a clean environment.

All currently rich countries have gone through this phase, so it's hard to judge them too harshly for this, and they are showing signs of transitioning to the cleanup phase.
What Happened with Supermicro?
GDP per emission is really a bad measure. It implies that the Earth's atmosphere is owned by the producers of goods.

Emission per capita is much more fair.

China has come a long long way. Fertility is much lower. They are investing heavily in renewables.

And they rarely travel by car or airplane.

> which reduces them some

This is absolutely true, however, I favor availability over attempting to recreate the experience perfectly. There is, in fact, no perfect way to recreate the experience because everyone’s experience differs. I played 8- and 16- and even 32-bit systems over RF on a 19” Magnavox, recording gameplay to VHS. Others may have gotten Ridge Racer secondhand and never had the custom controller. A CRT was integral to my experience, but is impractical for most people.

I enjoy retro gaming and go through stupid lengths to get classic systems looking good on modern displays. It’s expensive, takes up a ton of space, and requires a depth of knowledge in broadcast standards and signal processing beyond what most are willing to dig into.

When I want to sit down and enjoy a favorite game with my kids, Virtual Console, Classic/Mini systems, or emulators (software or hardware) allow us to focus on having fun together. Cycle accurate reproduction doesn’t come into play.

I dont know where you got your definition.

To quote:

BIEN lists the following five defining characteristics of basic income:

Periodic: Distributed in regular payments,
Cash payment: Distributed as funds rather than, for example, vouchers for goods or services.
Individual: Each citizen (or adult citizen) receives the payment, rather than each household.
Universal: All citizens receive the payment.
Unconditional: Recipients are not required to demonstrate need or willingness to work.

Your points 1, 2, and 3 are not definitions of UBI.

EDIT: the Finland trial looked at many of the outcomes you described above- linked above. Only half of the results are currently available. As I'd already mentioned, there hasn't been much in the way of negative outcomes in existing UBI and UBI-like trials.

I'm an early git contributor and long time user. At the time I picked it up, I was following and using hg as well.

I found git easier to learn and use. Git has just a few basic concepts underlying how it works. Once I learned blobs, trees, commits, the index, and references (branches, tags, reflog, etc), I understood the model. It wasn't hard to grok a local vs remote repo, how history was a dag, and so forth. From there, I realized all the crazy commands, the baroque UI, these were all just ways of manipulating those objects in various ways. I could always figure out how to make git do what I wanted. It never fought me or tried to tell me I couldn't do something.

hg, by contrast, I felt was always trying to hold my hand. Its model was harder to understand. It required me to adapt to its workflow, instead of allowing me to adapt it to mine. It was generally much less flexible.

I found everything about git more Unix-philosophy like.

I understand completely if you don't want to think about your VCS and just want it to record your changes and otherwise get out of your way, but I wanted a more flexible and powerful tool.

My perception (as a lapsed PhD physicist) is the community takes on a new formalism when it has to i.e. there are new results that can only be derived with the new formalism. A formalism that allows slightly better derivation of existing results does not attract attention. Twistors, Clifford algebras and other things seem to have not met this hurdle so far.

Feynman diagrams, Riemannian geometry (General Relativity) did.
