Your questions are interesting, but I think are for MUCH later than an idea. My new idea list starts something like this:

1. Does this product/service exist and pretty much solve my problem? Then use that.

2. If not... I am the first customer... I am building it for myself because I want to use it. (If it's a network product, then find a partner for the idea.)

3. Evaluate MVP do I find it useful, am I using it regularly? Does it solve the problem for me?

4. Introduce someone else to your product/service maybe a friend or family and get them hooked.

5. Evaluate engagement is my friend still using it ... am I still using it?

6. Build features for you and them.

7. Evaluate ... do you guys both love it?

8. Get some more friends using it... if it's great maybe you even start to get strangers.

Now get to your questions... how can I grow... how can I make money.
where I come from, .net actually hurt the startup scene because every college graduate thought that programming meant starting up VS, MSSQL and building some forms and tables.

Backwards education meant that messaging was forms and tables, constraint programming was forms and tables, state machines were forms and tables and people came up with very stupid ideas like polling tables instead of using event queues on top of which entire businesses ran.
What functional language would you recommend for something like a GUI application then? I have very little experience with such languages but am always looking forward to trying one when I get a chance.

If nicotinic acetylcholine receptor
(NAChR) agonists were true substitutes for opioids, wouldn't that imply that nicotine could be useful in kicking opiates? I'm a little fuzzy on the neuroscience, but iirc one of the distinguishing features of opioids are that they induce both happiness and wanting. When simple dopamine agonism is used (for example, electrical stimulation of the basal ganglia), patients report wanting the stimulation, but not enjoying it (a little like "tomacco" from that Simpson's episode.)

I'm sure snake venom contains more psychoactive constituents than an a NAChR agonist, and I'd love to know what else is in that juice.
I agree, it "should" be, but the unfortunate perverse incentive is that a certain percentage of Stockholm-Syndromed Apple victims will buy new devices to tide them over for the week or whatever while their batteries are being replaced.
"Unrealistic" is how most popular, realistic ideas that every other industralized nation has managed to put in to practice are put down.

Single payer healthcare is similar.

I still remember Chilean right wing commentators declaring free tertiary education as unrealistic not that long ago, before it became reality. Once it became reality it was declared "unfair". America will be no different.
That is indirection though. json.load basically calls fp.read() and then passes that value to be deserialised.

The report rate should be also related to population density in that area. I know there is someone who tried to exclude the effect of population density and got a totally different result. Have you considered it in your work?
Our train cards (Octopus card) are often linked to our bank accounts so that we can use the Automatic Add Value Service (AAVS). The only people travelling to Causeway Bay and from Admiralty at that time would be protestors so it would be fairly trivial to link protestors to individual identities using the cards.

It wouldn't be too hard triangulating the cell towers because we have a huge population density and, hence, cell towers attached to nearly every building. But I feel this data would be harder to get hold of and may catch the hundreds of thousands of "innocent" people who live in those buildings.
Amazons shipping. Its the only reason I still shop at amazon. Their shipping is quick and predictable, if it says it will be at your door tomorrow it is very likely that it will be. You can actually take their delivery dates seriously and plan accordingly. I made the mistake of ordering a mobile AC unit somewhere else (reputable entity, bought my first pc there decades ago) and instead of getting it last Friday or Saturday, as stated when buying, it will come some time this week when I am at work. From looking at when the item got transferred to the shipping company its clear the original delivery date was simply wrong. Further more, the company tasked with delivery doesnt even do Saturdays. I dont think i will be buying anything important from them anytime soon. I had to many bad experiences like that with too many vendors to gamble on anything other then amazon.

I think amazon is very aware of that and is working towards their own shipping service for a reason. They are still a shitty company, but at least i dont have the hassle of running after my shipments.
Frankly I don't disagree, in the sense that this is largely a BS (pun intended) proposal from someone who does not understand how finance works. I am not a fan of Bernie.

But these particular counter arguments, such as they are, miss the forest altogether.

Sweden is...not the US. It's basically Ohio. Trying something in an Ohio that is not on the dollar does not tell you anything.

Some kinds of efficiencies in the US system are laudable, others are deeply problematic. Solving for e.g., humans trading on their personal accounts is a demonstrably terrible idea from a retirement savings perspective at scale.

The fundamental point is that in the US and in most of the world there is a deepening imbalance between capital and labor. And labor is going to have its say unless capital figures out how to share.

There are lots of ways this can go horribly wrong. Lots of current events rhyming with bad moments in history. Trump is this gone wrong. Bernie would be too.

A redistribution of wealth is coming, one way or another.
Show HN: ManyPixels 2.0
Hey HN,

Happy to have launched (finally!) our new platform today, ManyPixels.

This is the biggest update we've done since we launched the company.

AND we're still fully bootstrapped and going strong despite many ups and downs!

Here's the problem we're fixing:

- Hiring (Finding freelance designers is annoying: posting job adverts, going through freelancers on Upwork/Fiverr, negotiating payments...)

- Communication (Sometimes freelancers cannot communicate well, or it is sometimes hard to communicate what you want)

- Quality (Freelancer might not be up to standard but you still have to pay him)

- Consistency (Freelancers sometimes disappear when you have a lot of jobs in progress for your business)

- Payments (annoying to deal with counting hours, transferring on Paypal/Upwork takes a lot of fees, etc)

And here's our solution:

- Hiring -- We pick the best designer for you automatically.

- Communication -- We built a shopping-like experience with an awesome collaboration platform where you just have to pick your service, fill in a simple brief, and go!

- Quality -- All freelancers are vetted, trained, and you get your money back if you do not like the work.

- Consistency -- Our freelancers always stick with us a long time (we guarantee their payments) and make sure they're happy!

- Payments -- You get a single invoice per month or per year

Watch a demo of our platform here: https://www.loom.com/share/5c5c97447b4e4b4189048aeed8ad3bb7

> I pine for something like that in the mobile or web worlds

A recentish episode of a python podcast (https://www.pythonpodcast.com/anvil-web-application-developm...) had an interview with one of the founders of Anvil (https://anvil.works/). He claimed VB & Delphi as significant inspirations for their web app platform (using python for front & back ends, with a drag/drop GUI builder).

Might be worth a look, if only for curiosity's sake.
It's getting to the point where I'm wondering if "fulfilled by Amazon" is a negative when I'm adding to my cart.. Been shipped a lot of opened, damaged, and returned items from Amazon... Maybe my 700+ purchase is better served through a 50k+ reviewed seller instead; still get the same Amazon shopping and checkout experience without the Amazon fulfillment BS.
That's the thing. I don't believe in, what I am going to call the transitive property of racism/sexism.

I voted for Trump because Hillary Clinton tanked the candidate I wanted to vote for-- Bernie Sanders.

That does not make me racist or sexist. Period. Full stop.

The amount of crappy stuff Hillary Clinton has done is mind-boggling. Most notably, covering up rapes her husband committed. Either way in 2016-- you were voting for a rapist.

Decomposition and abstraction are fundamental tools of software design, obviously it can be done badly, as can anything. Carried to the logical extreme, this suggests that hiding the complexity of arithmetic operations like + and - is a bad idea.

They should copy China to solve the problem.

The standard policy in China is x3 refund if the product is fake.

The all online sellers have this policy but it makes it a lot easier to tell if something is likely to be fake. Also if you get a fake then you get a triple refund...
I don’t know, China is still going very strong, and Russia doesn’t look like of collapsing anytime soon.
Absolutely, but the author is not wrong in general about DAAS, and that there are many, many DAAS opportunities that have nothing to do with violating individual people's privacy.

There's also the analog loopback, which for audio, has way less signal degradation than the compression consumers readily accept. For video, they already tried to restrict any analog outputs with DRM, but for audio, that would hurt much more.

It's possible for some; not for others. This isn't about what's possible, though, it's about what's fair.

It's treating the "right to untaxed unearned income entitlements" like interest, dividends and rent as intrinsically more fair ("financially responsible") than free education that bothers me.

Your perspective on this is flawed. The comparison to spreadsheets isn’t applicable here. Not even close.

That said, I do not expect you to understand my perspective if you are not a hardware engineer. This isn’t a put-down, just reality.

There have been many attempts to make FPGA’s fit into a nice software engineering paradigm. I can’t think of one, a single one, that compares well to what a hardware engineer can do by treating it like hardware.

A simple example I can give you comes from my own work going back about 15 years. Part of my design needed a very high performance multiphase FIR filter. The tools, even with all possible optimizations enabled, could not get the performance we needed out of this chip. If we wanted to stay with that approach the only option was to go up to a larger and faster FPGA as well as up one speed grade. That would have cost a bundle.

Instead, I hand-placed, wired and routed the filters. As a result I was able to get 2.5 times the performance the compiler could get. We were able to stay with the smaller chip and squeezed even more out of it during the five year product life cycle.

FPGA’s are hardware, not software.
A Swiss funded research shows Switzerland is the most honest country, and China happened to be the worst, and the research deliberately ignore Japan and Korea because the author knows these countries have some specific policy which could lead to bias, while the author is very sure that China doesn’t have same policy or culture.
Hmmm, your payers must be very glad to see the result, well done.
Yes, except one of those sides is a) never arguing in good faith, b) usually lying through their teeth, and c) wrong. Not even worth engaging.

And anyway, this is simply a wonderful example of that Free Speech™ they love yelling about. As if any of them cared (or knew) about this random knitting community before today.
The simple rule is: every line of code has to earn its keep.

Sometimes we really do need a one-line function to implement a common interface. Sometimes we need it so that, in the two places it's called, both get the new behavior when it changes.

But abstraction for abstraction's sake is just stalling. The technical term is "ratiocination". It's a filthy habit.

It does not get a free pass, coal pollution is one of the biggest issue of the environmental movement. As I said, I like nuclear so I think Germany and Japan are crazy to shut down their nuclear plants, but I can not blame them because I am not convinced by the arguments of the pronuclear movement.

Both sides believe this about the other side.
You may not like MS products, but I think their capability to seek rent is much, much lower than the antitrust days. The story looks like the competition did it instead of regulation, but who knows if an undeterred, ruthless Microsoft would have fought back better and dirtier.
I find the mechanism for the door intrudes further into the cabin than a lot of others, which means the window-exit seat feels more crowded, rather than less.

+1 for Microtik. They have their weird problems but are cheap and generally fairly reliable for what you get. Have a bunch of their hardware around, all served me pretty well.
Homes is strongly inspired by Auguste Dupin from several detective stories by Edgar Allan Poe. Dupin is even more of a cerebral hero - solving mysteries purely through logic thinking.
> maybe Amazon will helpfully add an alert to your order receipt when the shipment is unexpectedly delayed?

Alternatively Amazon could send a followup email. This way the sequence of events is preserved and not dependent on the sender.

I currently use email as a immutable list of events that have occurred in my life but with this I can no longer continue to do so.
Personal experience from a past job:

Coming from a clunky, overused but underdesigned monolithic structure, the work to standardize inter-team/inter-department communication is really hard.

In general, the easiest thing is to overspecify those APIs and fight anyone who wants to simplify them. Complicated work looks good on a CV, after all.

So now you have hard-to-implement, full-of-cruft API designs. At that point, teams realize that the easiest thing is to work around them.

And off you go into splintered components which ignore the standard APIs as much as possible. Turns out that's much easier, and you deliver results with higher velocity!

From far enough away, you can just see "more standard APIs => higher velocity", so obviously you keep doing that, right?
Visual C++ and MFC were much better than raw Win32 API programming in this regard but they were still worlds more effort than VB. Honestly I still don't know of a development environment to this day which gives the same level of "just git 'er done" for hacking up small disposable applications.

Copyright protection on recipies is much more limited than the other creative works you mentioned.

If you're scraping for more factual information, in some juristdictions, such as the US, there's a good chance those aren't subject to copyright. Things like addresses, opening hours, prices, inventory (but not a description of the inventory), etc can be very useful to scrape and present in different ways.

Can you not walk into an Apple store with a wad of cash and walk out with a laptop?
I don’t think it’s quite as simple as you say. This isn’t something like “my childhood was tough, therefore I want everyone’s childhood to be tough.”

Just because someone has paid off their college debts does not mean that the effects of that debt have ended. Obviously the effects of that opportunity cost still exist. That money could have been spent on other things, like a mortgage. So the idea of forgiving all current student loan debt without any consideration of people who are still living with the effects of their previous student loan debt is pretty crude, and I think there’s a strong argument for calling it blatantly unfair.
Holy grail stuff there. Would love that too.

I've found myself using Aliexpress more and more over Amazon due to this reason. I mean if it's something cheap you want - just get it straight from China. There are of course things that can't wait for the 2 weeks it takes for packages to get across the other pond.
I disagree with the toy example even if it’s just 1 use (although to be honest, you could construct a different example where I would choose to abstract only if there were multiple uses).

The big problem I have with the toy example is that both pieces of code convey different ideas to a human reader, and limiting myself to the situations the author finds the indirection cumbersome, such as code reviews, or debugging, both would lead the reader in different directions. The suggested solution would make a reader think the business requirement of that code is to check if the input starts with foo, whereas the indirection code suggests to the reader that the input should be like foo (which in this case happens to be by testing it starts with foo, but that may be incorrect, or may change).

I think the author’s example really hurts their case. A better example may be where the intention indeed is to check whether the input starts with the string foo, but you want to trim the sample first.

I’ve seen code that would abstract that out with a function trimmedStartsWith, or something, instead of just input.trim().startsWith(foo), where I think the former only makes sense if you’re doing it a bunch of time.
I'm honestly not sure where mini-services, micro-services, nano-services, and service oriented architecture begin or end relative to each other.

So a micro service is 2 pizzas.

Maybe for just a plain service you can have up to a a pizza party's worth of people.

But you can only have up to 10 nano services per sandwich before they become pico-services?
