Indeed, and I suspect that's part of where the mentality comes from. One could argue that said simple hierarchy is appropriate for the threat model in most cases in the real world.

Where this falls down, is that if my threat model is different, rightly or wrongly, I can still change the locks on my home to something more fitting the threat model. If we were to try to fit the crypto policy that that Barr seems to want to real-world locks, then that could get problematic, quicky. I want to lock my hunting rifle's case with an Abloy, because using the toy locks from Home Depot is fucking irresponsible? Nope, not allowed. That's miltary-grade; civilians don't need military-grade tools. Requiring one be a business before one can get/use moderately-strong encryption could all too easily become a regulatory burden that causes a lot of small and medium businesses to become less secure, and further entrench the largest companies. And as the current top root-level comment points out, it would make getting blackmail on the rich and powerful that much easier.

I think it should remain impossible to do for crypto, because as another reply to you points out, the real world differs from the digital world in important ways. Trying to force the digital world to be more like the real world is likeable to make both suck more, not less.

You say it yourself, you pretty much have to go lean to do an effective bootstrapped startup, and focus on profitability very quickly. Otherwise the salary costs will kill you unless you have very deep pockets.

One model that I would like to see more of is a type of co-op, maybe even part time. This allows you to defer payment in lieu of equity, at the obvious cost of not having people's attention as fulltime employees, and slower iteration time. The benefit is that you can actually get FAANG caliber engineers to work with you since you are paying entirely in equity

What do you mean? That either the entire thing must have been fabricated out of whole cloth, or that we should assume it's entirely true and discuss the implications as though it were? Wouldn't the simpler explanation be that people believe that, given the source, there is a high chance that it's somewhere in the middle - i.e. skewed, misleading, spun, taken out of context, biased - and is therefore reasonable to not take as useful information until more context can be provided?

1) There's little proof he was rich when he was running for President, he may well have been indebted to foreign powers at the time. The "under audit" story is clearly BS, what was he hiding?

2) His wealth was not created by himself, at any rate. He lied and said he inherited a small loan of a million, when in fact it was at least 2 orders of magnitude more than that. His father was the real smart businessman and his career has largely been failure upon failure.

3) He basically did win the lottery of being born to a wealthy father and squandered it all. How much did he squander is very hard to say when he himself covers up the details.

So yes, he is incompetent with money and business. He is competent with power, intimidation, and getting his way. That may have worked in the small pond of the 2016 election, but that is about the only place the man's been successful.
The ideal thing is a mix that is somewhat representative of the population at large. It's good to have different perspectives and attitudes and experience. Sometimes lack of experience to question 'why we do it that way', but it's also usually good to have someone who knows that we do it that way not "because", but because doing it another way can lead to subtle problems that are hard to diagnose.
Detecting repeating content across different TV channels
When DMs were originally made in the UK the work was contracted out.

The company that originally made them for Doctor Martins now sells direct under the name Solavair [1] made in the same original factory.

I have no connection to the company but I have a pair of their monkey boots and they’re great.

Oh and I _think_ they might make DMs “made in the UK” specials but I’m not 100% on that.

Let’s be generous and say 1hr of 4K streaming is 10GB, so you can stream 100hrs of 4K content in a month with a 1TB cap - that’s reasonable, assuming everyone in the household watches the same show at the same time. But what if I want to watch Blade Runner 2049 while my wife watches Queer Eye, both in 4K? We’re suddenly looking at 50-60GB of our cap gone in one evening. And then what if a few games downloaded updates earlier on that day? Now we’re hovering around 100GB in a single day.

Sure, that’s an extreme example, and that’s not going to be every single day (Sony only pushes game updates on Tuesdays, for instance), but you can see how easy it would be for a two-person household to eat through 10% of our monthly bandwidth in a single day - and we don’t even have kids with their own devices consuming their own media!

Those sentences were not disconnected. They were part of one thought, joined by a “but”, indicating that one modified the other in a qualifying manner.

>We’ve spent less than $1000 on hiring, but I’ve had coffees or breakfasts with probably hundreds of candidates. Measured by hours, recruiting is one of our largest investments

Reads as: “we committed a small amount of resource X, BUT we spent a lot of resource Y.”

They didn’t miss the fact that they were burning resources. They stated it explicitly.
I sent you an email, and I'm posting it here but without identifying info:

Hi Jeff,

Thank you for your comment, I'm replying via email to send some info I'd rather not share on HN, but will post the same redacted in HN. I used to (back when starting my web-dev career) run a one man show development team of a web agency and all our development/pre-prod sites (that had to be unauthed) had robots.txt to disallow all bots, but they still popped up in Google. Searching some of the old domains in google I found an example here: http://***.***/***, and attached is an example of it showing up in a SERP and a what the robots.txt looks like (and I'm pretty sure that the robots.txt has looked like that since that page was created).

In this case it is just one page that nobody will care about, and since I'm not working on projects that are open but "robots.txt hidden" anymore I don't know if it is as bad as it used to be, but I regularly see pages with the "No information is available for this page" whose domains have robots.txt's that disallow all bots but still show up in Google.

Please let me know if I missed anything :)
I actually have no idea what you're alluding to here; can you be a bit more explicit for us oblivious readers?
It's common for people outside of retail to focus on margins and ignore turns/sales velocity when considering retail issues, but it misses a lot of the reasoning. Obviously consistently making a loss on a product is a bad idea, but making $1 per sale and selling one per day produces more income than making $5 per sale and selling once per week. On Amazon if you don't "win the buy box" your stuff doesn't sell, or doesn't sell as frequently. What Amazon is trying to do for sellers is ensure that doesn't happen to them, and ultimately is likely to increase their income even if it reduces their margins. Fixing a minimum margin for six months actually seems quite reasonable to me, it gives sellers a chance to make inventory plans on a practical time scale while also ensuring that Amazon doesn't have to absorb any losses indefinitely.

I had heard the "well below 20m" figure and couldn't believe it—and now Fred is saying they dumped it for $3 million? I suppose if Verizon is taking the tax deduction on an original $1.1 billion purchase by Yahoo, the value of the deduction so much dwarfs the sale price that the difference to Yahoo between a $3 million sale price and a $50 million sale price is pretty minimal—they just want to close the deal to take the deduction and stop the losses.

Still, considering the fact that Tumblr still does over 2.5 billion page views per month [1], not even counting their mobile usage, I can't help but gawk at what a steal Automattic got. Really drives home what their CEO Matt Mullenweg said on here the other day about adopting a "Berkshire model"—although he was referring to independent management, what he's really talking about is buying companies grossly undervalued for dirt-cheap. Just monetizing the web traffic 2.5 billions monthly hits at a $1 CPM alone would generate $2.5 million a month in revenue, $30 million annually.

What kind of business, let alone web business, sells for 1/10th annual revenue? For reference, Reddit does 6x the page views, but is valued at $3 billion. Reddit's prospects are obviously better, but are they 1000/6 = 166x times better per current page view? Mind-boggling.

I think this is only true for small LEO spacecrafts that are more or less 'disposable'. For higher cost GEO and interplanetary spacecraft, consumer electronics are not going to be hardened sufficiently and flight-proven to be used in those applications.
Ah, now nwalker85's comment makes more sense although it is patently false. A more accurate assessment is that Trump has been associated with 515 business entities. The vast majority of those entities are shell corporations or LLCs meant to (as the name implies) limit liability.

Here is the graph for multistorey apartment buildings. I'm not smart enough to interpret what this means. In the big city I live in in Denmark, most new apartment buildings are luxury apartments and expensive as hell, so I don't think they are a result of rising house prices.
That's not a difference, that's a reframing. In both cases, in practice, the sellers cannot expect to get more than some really low profit rate, and therefore don't invest in supplying any high-demand good, because the risk is higher and the profits are the same. That's bad.
> So out of hundreds you interviewed, it doesn’t appear that anyone over 30 was hired. What did the age breakdown look like? Ageism does exist in tech.

Not affiliated with the company in the article, but this isn't necessarily a symptom of ageism.

Early-stage startups generally pay toward the lower end of the SF engineer pay scale (<$150k). At that salary, it can be hard to find local experienced candidates. For $150k/year it's impossible to buy a house and put down roots, so people at a stage in life that value that (which is a significant percentage of the over-30 demographic) will often move out of the Bay Area. You'll make a bit less money in Denver, Austin, Boise or Salt Lake City, but you'll be able to buy a house with a yard and raise a family if that's your thing.

Of course, there are still experienced engineers around, but they're disproportionately making $300k+, which can still buy you a decent quality of life in the Bay Area.
The fact that something has gone wrong before (even if repeatedly!) does not imply that we should not attempt to prevent it from happening again, or that it's no longer possible to take steps that would move us in that direction.
USA has a huge trade deficit with China. Chinese economy is much more dependent on the USA buying their goods than the other way around. They've already devalued their currency in order to stay competitive to American buyers, so in a sense they are directly paying for the tariffs.

You mention that you hedge your exposure to market downturns through deep OOTM options -- would it be safe to interpret this as your company taking out OOTM puts on various REITs/ETFs? If so, I'm wondering about a couple things:

1. Do you hedge on REITs/ETFs with a local presence in the areas your properties are located in? If so, is there any liquidation risk of the REIT/ETF in the event of a major downturn that could force an early exit from your hedge position and leave you exposed to further decline? Also, how would you handle rebalancing/constructing new hedges when you add investment properties in a new area?

2. If you hedge on broader diversified REITs/ETFs, is it a plausible concern that your investment properties can be hit by a localized recession that leaves other parts of the broader real estate market unaffected, thus leaving your hedge unable to recoup the losses?
"Receiving the source code" of an argument in lambda calculus is an accident of notation. The source code is not observable by the function it is passed to. Confluence implies that there is no way within lambda calculus to distinguish the result of reducing a term from the term itself.
One item in particular you note is that Recruiters are "Not Worth It"

But also disclose that you got scared off of the $15k/fee and haven't tried that route.

In my experience the right recruiter can combine the utility of the "First-degree friends" and "Referrals" sections you list out.

I used to be anti-recruiter until we made it a point to "recruit a recruiter" and qualify them as hard as we would if we were looking for an internal role.

Interviewing recruiters through a process landed us a recruiter that is well known and respected in his niche, has built trust with dozens of candidates, and delivered strong hires.

We've gotten 6 amazing people in ~6 months and from an investment return basis I can't think of better money that we've spent.

The product side improvements that the new team members are delivering + reducing the brain damage you go through with bootstrapping hiring are high return investment categories in my view.

And the punchline is I think you $15k/hire is off - we've averaged $45k per hire (30% of first year) for engineering & sales talent in the $120 - 200k/yr range.

PS - As others have commented the "We spent less than $1,000 on hiring" should probably be amended, it weakens the rest of what is a very good article on boostrapping hiring!
It's a gross simplification, but with the volume that is Danish housing vs demand for said housing the risk is very low.

One of many issues leading into the 2008 crash was how Us mortgages were bundled, rated AAA, then resold as an investment tool. However, the ratings were falsely boosted to promote investment and when the underlying junk mortgages fell through and demand fell off a cliff with the rest of the economy there was no way to flip foreclosed housing to make up losses.

In this case, Danish mortgages are not bundled, rated falsely positive, and not sold as an investment tool like in 2008. Current US auto loans may be much more similar than these Danish loans.
My experience has been that HR stonewalls all efforts to use external recruiters due to perceived cost. Yet at the same time they can’t deliver quality candidates so a position stays open for 6 months; incredibly infuriating.
You're right, it was an incorrect and very bad comment. Thanks for the correction.
> “We spent less than $1,000 on hiring
> And “I’ve had coffees or breakfasts with probably hundreds of candidates”

Just being humorous here. Let's say he spent $999 and spoke to 200 candidates. The previous statement is not against the claim of the author.

Does that mean, he spent ~$4.99 for coffee or breakfast per candidate? Is it possible to have coffee or breakfast for 2 people in SFO for that money? Or, he could have either bought coffee for only the candidate and stared at him/her while he/she drank the said coffee or asked the candidate to pay for his/her own coffee. Yikes! :-P

A lot of what you describe is only true/relevant to the US.

In other countries access to the Internet is a right [1]. Of course it depends on how one defines what is a "right". It's not a right in the same way that everyone have the right to food or clean water (even though we cannot provide even these consistently to everyone), but it is a right and an increasingly important one.

The fact that many international companies are based in the US is indeed quite unfortunate and I find extremely appalling that they can just hand over my data to anyone asking, especially if that "anyone" can also define what is "lawful".

Things should be end-to-end encrypted for everyone, with absolutely no back doors or any kind of weakening of the encryption.

The argument that "this enables bad guys to do bad things" can only stand if they can show us hard data about how many bad guys they have caught because they were communicating in clear text and how much this number decreased because of the increased adoption of https and end-to-end encryption. But of course they cannot do that, because "National Security".

Well, they can't have it both ways.

Lisp is the light saber of languages : an elegant weapon for a more (mumble) age. Blasters and death stars are more effective.

Nobody builds anything important with it, but it feels more pure to build toys with it than more practical languages. Some people make big toys.

Nobody is expected to understand anybody else's code, so you can indulge any kind of whim, and it is easy to make any whim work well enough. Meanwhile, the mathematical bedrock of computation outcrops more frequently, so that programs can resemble theorems if you like that.

It's valid Haskell 98 with a type constructor: http://r6.ca/blog/20060919T084800Z.html. But in GHC I think the first code snippet without NOINLINE still crashes, it's a perma-bug: https://downloads.haskell.org/~ghc/latest/docs/html/users_gu...

Some type systems do support equi-recursive types without the type constructor, e.g. Whiley (http://whiley.org/2013/04/21/iso-recursive-versus-equi-recur...). Maybe there you could implement Y without a type signature and have the recursive type inferred.

The main problem is speed. Using the Y combinator is going to mess up whatever code flow analysis the compiler has, unless it's using some cutting edge optimization research that I haven't been able to find.

It should be noted that AWS and other Cloud providers let you set up Security Groups containing specific IP addresses or ranges (i.e. just whitelist your static IP for SSH/RDS access).
