> In a perfectly unregulated market a large entity can hoard a resource or provide a resource at a temporal loss for themselves so that they bankrupt their small competitors. This is an arbitrage opportunity that can be used against the large entity only if you have a ton of money - if you are small you are out of luck.

While that is, in principle, possible. Can you think of any times it's actually happened absent regulation? The only times that come to my mind are when a company exploited regulation to achieve this.

> If you are small you do not have access to the expensive analysts that tell you how this perfectly efficient market will move. There is a fixed initial cost to join the "efficient" part of the market, that nobody but the big players will have. They will know when on average new workers join in so they can undercut their salaries / they will know when houses will be in demand so they can hike up prices / etc. If the small guy has that information they can efficiently adjust the time to participate, but that information will not be available without the expensive initial investment into analysis. The economy of scale that exists for the big players ensures that the market will be efficient only for them.

This is a fun theory, but there's really no evidence of any of this dynamic occurring anywhere in our current economy, and in general is a misunderstanding of how supply and demand actually work. The problem with this theory is that, even if you assume companies were able to do this, the amount they'll be able to squeeze out of people by doing so is not actually that large. Predictive analytics definitely can give you an edge, but they do not give you an infinite edge.

For certain types of businesses, yes, that makes it hard to compete. But if you come up with a viable way to compete with some scale player, there's plenty of pools of capital out in the economy that'd be happy to fund your idea. That's what venture capital is all about: matching resources to ideas.
Opposition to slavery happens to be a case in which imposing morality on others is justified. But my point here is whether they're on the right side or the wrong side of an issue, one thing has always been true of the Republican party; they seek to regulate morality.

We could have a conversation about "parties switching", the southern policy, etc. But I don't think that's needed because no matter which way you slice it, the Republican party was never hands off on matters of society and morality. Some people like to pretend it was once some sort of live-and-let-live libertarian party, but that was never the reality of the party.

Recent efforts to strip browsers down to their core functionality, and provide a world where the current web is effectively userland code:

* web components

* service workers

* Houdini

Imagine a future where browsers just implement these low level concepts, and HTML is defined as an (open source/community) library that all vendors bundle as part of their browser.

And then, also consider how much overlap there is here with traditional operating systems. Your next device OS could be just another layer on top.

Respectfully, that's a stretch - WebAssembly + (display tech) is a completely different stack in the browser. Houdini is bolting on a bunch of imperative stuff directly inside the browser engine with knock-on effects up and down throughout all of the web umbrella technologies.

With a wasm+web hybrid, there's a clear separation between the imperative wasm bits and the declarative web bits, so you can even combine them in ways that allow both stacks to perform well.

> more expensive housing (larger, more luxurious) will be constructed first because it's more profitable

Is this even true? You can put eight little studios with shared bathrooms and kitchens in the same amount of space as one big luxury three bedroom, and you get more rent from eight $600 apartments than one $4000 one. The reason the cheap little apartments don't get built is that they're explicitly prohibited by zoning (or implicitly prohibited by things like per-unit parking requirements that destroy the economics).

> I think there's an argument to be made, in this case where the housing market has been so distorted for so long, for moving utilitarian, smaller-unit high-density construction projects to the front of the line.

The problem is that this creates a massive discontinuity at the point where you go from "affordable housing" to market rate housing, and screws over anyone who can't get into "affordable housing" either because they're $200/year over the income threshold (even though still quite poor) or because the demand for "affordable housing" continues to outstrip the supply even for people who qualify for it. And the latter is necessarily the case until you actually build enough of it that it would cause market rate housing to become affordable anyway.

But if you stop a CC subscription, you lose access to the software you did like as well. In contrast, the entirely legal, bought-at-considerable-cost version of Creative Suite that remains installed on one of the PCs at work is still working just fine after all this time.

Also, the alternative we're increasingly using now (the Affinity suite) doesn't cost anything like thousands for a permanent licence, so this idea that it's somehow necessary to charge that kind of money to make software development viable in this market is demonstrably wrong.

Acquaintance of mine runs this thing, and is very passionate on the topic.
The USA is unique from the rest of the world (the Old World) in that it is based on an idea, not genetics.

We are the first start-up country. We are comprised of the greatest minds in the world from all genetic backgrounds. Rep. Amash is of Palestinian and Syrian descent, and he is more American than most notorious politicians with whom I am familiar. America is based on an idea, and he embodies it.

Old World people from Europe and Asia have no idea what they're talking about WRT the USA. Classifying the USA in European terms (i.e. "center-right") makes no sense in this context, and we do not use such terms for a reason. Humanity deserves at least one country where individual freedom is a revered principle and people do not emphasize outcomes other than technical innovation. Not every country needs to operate in the same way (nor every US state).
It is the only way I would use such a service. Text extraction is a neat trick but by no means useful for serious comprehension. Even if the service wasn’t in real time, having a place I could dump a bunch of articles into and get back a quick summary of what it’s about at some later time would be useful. Sometimes I read comments for hackernews articles to look for a tl;dr and never bother even opening the article.

Garbage Collection as a Joint Venture
Yeah but this is in the context of not knowing the correct answer.

Saying that you believe the popular option is different to yours is a display of high confidence in your own answer, and low confidence in other people's knowledge.

Dunning kruger only deals with highly confident wrong people, which isn't the interesting group in our surprisingly popular measurements.

Bringing dunning kruger in to it would make more sense if there was an "im not 100% confident" option, but instead it was an absolute dichotomy.

It doesn't really mean that all of the people answering incorrectly are completely confident and therefore are dunning krugering. Someone who is not overconfident at 60% confidence adds the same "yes" data point that someone who is 100% confident and wrong does.

I'm in this space. There are just so many ways to reach potential customers nowadays each with their own audiences. Although marketplaces still rule, I’m beginning to see the trend that savvy long-term businesses who want to protect their upside and own their customers are beginning to focus more of their efforts on their own properties (à la Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Squarespace, etc) while treating the marketplaces they sell on as marketing channels. It’s already becoming commonplace now for a retailer to be on a wholesale platform, a few marketplaces, have their own website, and also sell in a brick & mortar location.

He didn't actually replicate an $86M project. The Victoria police signed a contract with Motorola for $17.3M in October of 2018 with Motorola part of which includes their ANPR system. It is a 5 year contract that will place cameras in 220 cars. The cameras will also record high quality video and audio. Among other things the contract includes 5 years of managed services regarding the operating of the ANPR and video/audio management system. A proper revised title for the article would be "I replicated an unknown fraction of a $17.3M project in 57 lines of code"

Interesting consideration. It's true that the overwhelming share of the most productive economies [1] are not at the extreme in terms of heat. [2]

Among the 70 hottest countries, only three make the list in terms of economic output per capita: Qatar, UAE, Singapore.

Among the 100 hottest countries, only four make the list (Saudi Arabia is added to the prior group at #71).

It's a rather staggering data point. Basically all the best economies are in the coolest half block. Only Singapore exists in the hottest 100, as a non-resource state.

The best economies group starts near avg ~15 celsius and on down on the list, with Portugal and Greece. Israel and Australia are outliers at 19c & 21c.

In the bottom ~66 coolest, you have this group:

US, China, Japan, Germany, UK, France, Italy, Spain, Canada, Switzerland, Portugal, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, South Korea, New Zealand, Belgium, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Austria, Ireland, Netherlands, Czech, Slovakia, Slovenia, Iceland, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Russia, Turkey, Chile.

Uruguay just missed that list, they're #70 coolest and have a per capita output ($17k) comparable to Latvia, Hungary and Chile.

> but I think most of it is really due to the fact no one's promoting his work at all

Anecdotal evidence time. I write and self-publish my own poetry chapbooks, distributing them (via Smashwords) to places like Apple Books.

Most of the chapbooks will get downloaded from various venues once or twice a month. Except for one chapbook which averages around 10 downloads a day (7ish from Apple Books, the rest from Google Play). Given that the average print run for a traditionally published chapbook of poems is around 400 total, that is a phenomenal rate - especially as I do nothing whatsoever to promote my books.

How did this state of affairs come about? As far as I can work out, soon after I uploaded the chapbook in question Apple decided to "recommend" it for a week or so, which put it on the front page when searching their site for "poetry". And after it made the front page, it just stayed there, bobbing up and down in the top 100.

Why did this happen? I assume they chose to promote it because the chapbook's title is (unintentionally) a bit clickbait-y. Either that, or pure luck.
Team dynamics after pre-$eed
5 months ago, I joined a technology startup aiming to revolutionize mobile healthcare. The founder ran a lab and the cofounder was a doctor with impressive credentials. The vision was big and I quit my job to work for no pay without a formalized position. We converted the founder's basement into an office, got an interview with YC, and few $100K investment and few $M pre-money valuation from 500 Startups. From the outside, we're rockin' & rollin'

As can be expected, internally things are much less smooth. I am the only full-time person (85+ hours/wk), the doctor cofounder doesn't really participating (~5 hrs/wk, 6% equity) and the main founder is scattered between his lab & another company (>60%). He's great at selling the vision and getting ppl pumped up, but is not present much for day-to-day tasks like customer discovery, product development, pitch materials etc. He just offered me 0.5% for my contribution over the last 5 months and the title of COO & 1st employee (previously PM).

I have a feeling that this dynamic is not right. My last startup disbanded after we couldn't resolve the unequal contribution problem, and I don't want to repeat that mistake. Of course, I should have gotten equity in writing sooner- but that issue might be rooted in a deeper problem. I feel like a solopreneur most of the time, doing most of the heavy lifting to build the care of the company, not like a first employee with little impact on the company. If I leave, progress will nearly come to a halt. I want to stay, but I'm concerned about this dynamic.

Do any of you have a similar experience or can offer some advice as to what I should do in this situation? Thanks so much in advance! :D

I'm fairly convinced that the project cost a lot more than it should have. But the claim in the title is also a bit disingenuous. 57 lines of his own code is not "57 lines of code", and the results may not be at the same level.

Later edit: He does make the same point... in a another post where he admits to the clickbaity title, the overwhelming reaction (as many such titles trigger), and claims people pointing out the lack of support for the controversial core claims are pedants. [0]

That may be. I'm also pretty ignorant about Alaska's economy and how that dividend impacts low income communities. It just seems petty to yank this money from students at the last minute like this...and, also bad for the future of Alaska. Getting and keeping talent in a state that is dark and frozen for months out of the year is a tough sell. It also seems like it is a more progressive use of money than a universal payment, since it will tend to move money from higher income taxpayers to lower income students so those students are less likely to be saddled with overhwelming debt when they finish school.

One thing I do know about the dividend is that it fluctuates wildly. I don't remember the details of why or what math is used to calculate it, but it can be as low as a few hundred dollars or as high as a few thousand dollars. If people are relying on it (as I'm sure some do), that's kind of a capricious randomness, as well.

In the cases of Brexit and the 2016 US Presidential election, betting markets reported a majority of money on Remain and Clinton with a majority of bets on Leave and Trump.

Perhaps the number of bets is analogous to what people believe, while total money bet is analogous to what people think others believe. If so, the surprisingly popular answer is the one with the smallest average bet.

The obvious analog in the stock market is average order size, but this isn't a generally-available statistic, and it's not clear to me whether it would be meaningful.

Volume (shares traded per time unit) is closely-watched, however, and several technical analysis "indicators" compare price changes to volume.[1][2][3][4]

High liquidity is a state of relatively small price changes per unit of trading volume. It generally means traders are not paying large premiums/discounts to previous trades. In a way, this corresponds to a smaller bets on future returns, and thus, to surprisingly popular returns...

> they probably quite enjoy the thrill of trying to craft the perfect clickbait title and now in the age of data the success of it is measurable, creating a tighter feedback loop...

They probably do, but they get that thrill at the emotional expense of the consumers. It's a fundamentally selfish act.

"Clickbait" really means that the title sets an expectation in the viewer that is more engaging than the content itself actually is. The viewer clicks and then ends up disappointed because the actual content is less rewarding than the title suggested. But at that point, the author's already claimed their precious ounce of attention and got what they wanted.

The name stuck for a reason. Fish don't end up happy that they ate the bait. Only the fisher does.

So I don't think we should be happy that people find this skill thrilling or rewarding any more than we should laud the thrill of a skilled pick-pocket or con artist.
