Rails is not an example. Rails was extracted from a single project codebase, Basecamp. Extracting a Solution Factory out of the solutions we make is a great idea, but starting with a factory-first mindset is what distracts and then breaks programmers.

>>the original intention of the amendment was a fail-safe against government tyranny

Citation needed. There's a constant debate about what the "framers' intent" of any part of Bill of Rights actually were. You say it was to prevent government tyranny (presumably including a future tyrannical U.S. government). I say it was specifically to ensure access to a fighting force specifically to fight the British and foreign threats in order to establish a new government.

Given how often I've had packages thrown haphazardly by Amazon drivers, I will gladly pay extra to have USPS handle my packages with slightly more care. It's an interesting idea, but their drivers are destroying their image before they've entered the market.
Patrick McKenzie (twitter.com/patio11) has been relaying some of the bull case, though I don't know whether he's endorsing it, or just relaying it. I don't have time to find his tweets right now, but they're in the past few weeks of his timeline.

Basically:
1) if remote work continues to grow, they become an easy magnet because every company will pay for WeWork reimbursements more readily than some random local expenditure.
2) like AWS, they allow a big financial change: real estate moves from CapEx to OpEx, which is desirable for companies.

I'm the OP, it doesn't really matter which was the first, my point was that we've had plenty of new "categories" of software. And in reality many that are just like Slack.

In some ways Google Apps for Business is a really good example of a sort of "new category" of communication software. You could plugin apps online, rather than have to host it your self.

A bit of googling shows he's called Slack a "brand new category of software" many times before, but I'm not clear what he thinks it is.
I too rolled my eyes when I read that sentence..
The Federalist papers are not, as I recall, crystal clear on this issue (that is, what "well-regulated" means". If anything, they say the opposite.

From "Concerning the Militia":

"To oblige the great body of the yeomanry, and of the other classes of the citizens, to be under arms for the purpose of going through military exercises and evolutions, as often as might be necessary to acquire the degree of perfection which would entitle them to the character of a well-regulated militia, would be a real grievance to the people, and a serious public inconvenience and loss"

This pretty clearly carries the implication that being "well-regulated" is more than just well-equipped.

It is, however, clear that the intention was to continue the policy of citizens bearing arms, even treating that as an implicit part of the culture of the time. Madison says, in "The Influence of the State and Federal Governments Compared", as an offhand remark, "Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, ...", and in comparison to Europe, it is expected that Americans can be trusted with guns: "Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."

> Not true.

Mostly true. I've read the post you linked to; all of those approaches have significant disadvantages compared to standard git branches. We used the bookmark-based workflow for a while, and it's simply not as good as a git branch. The evolve extension and topics were build for this reason, and they finally approach a decent workflow that allows for things like cleanly discarding experimental "branches" that have been pushed to a remote.
It’s a valid question: what could we do if we had unlimited money? One answer to that question was “put a man on the moon and return him safely to Earth”. SoftBank has the means but seems to have no “vision” at all. I mean you have literally $100Bn and all you can think of is... that?

You will find that predictions of climate change have been 100% false. Nobody has a crystal ball and nobody can predict what will happen in the future. So lets look into the past.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geologic_temperature_record#/m...

About 20,000 years ago the earth was 10 celcius colder. For the last 20,000 years the earth has been warming pretty steadily.

About 100,000 years ago the world was 5celcius warmer than today.

If you look at the black/red dots from the IPCC predictions. All of those have already been disproven as false and not going to happen. Overall on the graph what's happening is that we are more or less exactly flat.

However look at those spikes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eemian#/media/File:EPICA_delta...

Temperature on earth frequently rapidly spiked up in temperature.

So what happened to life on earth when it was 5+ celcius warmer? It was fantastic for life. Frozen wastelands like Canada and Russia thawed and became extremely livable. People moved into these northern places.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eocene

The Eocene 50 million years ago was 14celcius warmer and life thrived better than no other time in history.
What major index will it be in? Not the DOW or S&P 500. Not VFINX, not NASDAQ 100. Almost all non-Asian indexes disallow dual-class share structures.
It's "the right of the people to bear arms," not the right of the well-regulated militia. Furthermore, "regulated" in the context of 18th century refers not to government oversight[1], but to such a thing being regular.

[1] The modern definition of "regulated" to mean this comes mainly from the creation of the FDA and other such government agencies which made meat, drug, and other such products regular as opposed to varied.
Some indexes have filters that prevent really awful companies from being included. For example, I don't think Snapchat was allowed into the S&P 500 because the stock was so crappy.

Highly doubtful that someone dragged an anchor across a restricted area in 72 ft of water.

I'm not an expert on nautical stuff, but only the largest vessels would have anchor chains that long. Moreover, you'd have major problems getting your anchor detached from that thing. If you cut your chain (unlikely) then it would still be at the bottom of the sea. If you somehow managed to detach the sea station, it would also be laying nearby. Presumably the divers checked the nearby seabed?
Okay, maybe your comment is going over my head here, but I need some explanation. I misspell things often enough, but I didn't use the word "sensible" here.

It's a very specific notion of "done" - you can record an offline authorization event; so the customer-visible part is done, but the actual payment is not.

The merchant is not going to have any access to that money whatsoever until/unless connectivity is restored. They can't pay their suppliers or employees with that money while they're offline.

It's pretty much the digital equivalent of scribbling "Bob authorised to pay me $12.34" on a notebook that you're going to bring to the bank afterwards.
I'm not sure what you mean by late to the party. They were the first ones at this party. WeWork has grown through the charisma of its CEO. Based on past performance, it has worked every time.

They're on the extreme end of "startup realizes public markets will call them on their shit" but you can see why they'd be confident they could pull it off.
Do you see declining to serve a customer whom you could not serve well as different to banning a customer?

Because companies routinely do the former.
it's at that state now, yes. 100W PoE is standardized and available on the market. the standards body dragged their feet for a couple decades, vendors implemented their own proprietary high-power PoE injectors and devices, and a lot of the momentum behind PoE died out due to incompatibility hell. imagine every power outlet in your house was networked, could support gigabit data transfer, and the whole thing was so safe you could jam a fork into the outlet whenever the whim struck you -- that was the original dream.

Best Haskell Conferences to Attend
I've rented Zipcars here in the UK many times and never encountered this.

The cars have a key in the glove compartment. After you initially unlock it at the beginning of your reservation you take that key with you. You put it back in at the end of the reservation. In between you use it to unlock like a regular car key/fob.

Am I missing something here?

Edit:

https://support.zipcar.co.uk/hc/en-gb/articles/360001460928-...

> The key is in the glovebox in ALL vehicles. Throughout your reservation you should use the key to lock and unlock the doors. For a vehicle that has a start button instead of a key, the Zipcard or app can be used throughout the reservation to lock and unlock the doors.

OK so this situation is plausible when the car doesn't have an actual key.
Ask HN: What is the biggest challenge you’ve faced when building your startup?
Building startup is difficult. I am now trying to build another, but having similar problems as always, which annoys me: finding product-market fit & early adopters.
What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced? How did you tackle them? (Or did you manage to tackle them?)

I am asking it because if there is a pattern about those problems, and if they still exist, maybe we should do something to solve those common problems first.

I worked at a company from 2011 - 2013 that gave me the offer to buy out my options. I'm glad I didn't because that company was going out of business. The entire executive leadership team was swapped out 3 times over the course of 6 months by the board and we were getting crushed by competition. It was only a couple thousand dollars but I would have just lost it. The answer to this really depends on your situation and a lot of the points touched on in the post.

I would have expected LEGO Ninjago to be as well. That's their own very distinct IP and the models that are included feature the best original LEGO models you can get. And that on a constant high level for several years now.

Funny that you mention LEGO Friends. In the German adult LEGO community lots of people don't understand LEGO's strategy with Friends and often shop owners on YT videos claim that they don't sell well enough for them.

But they seem to get sold more elsewhere than in the LEGO specific shops.
That sounds like a cop-out answer from the CEO to be honest. Slack isn't a confusing novelty the market has never seen; foundations of Slack have existed for quite some time (eg. using AIM with chatbots 15 years ago as a kid).

It's not the market's fault Slack's revenue/sales expectations don't match their goals. That's entirely on Slack to either do a better job or be more realistic with their 'ceiling'.
Not American, but I believe taking unpaid leave is not necessarily an option there. Unless by taking unpaid leave you mean resigning.
Maybe a better explanation of the issues is this article by Evgeny Morozov https://newrepublic.com/article/154826/jeffrey-epsteins-inte... . In short, allegedly John Brockman (the guy behind Edge) had close ties with Jeffrey Epstein, and there's some reason to suspect he had a pretty good idea of at least some of the bad things Epstein got up to but continued to take his money and promote him as a scientific philanthropist and interesting thinker.

(It is entirely possible that Morozov has axes of his own to grind, and I don't know how accurate that article is. But it's probably fairly representative of why some people might think Edge should at least be keeping a low profile for a while.)
and, in addition, red flag laws are not lacking due process... a judge rules on them after presenting arguments from a close party to the person. i don't believe there are any red flag laws that allow just anyone to bring proceedings but i could be wrong.

> What I'm trying to challenge is the philosophy that an ORM is an adequate facade in place of learning how databases work.

Thank you for this response and I agree, we are likely on the same page. I don't know that anyone actually espouses that philosophy. This is the anxiety that ORM skeptics have, and certainly you get beginners who rush into using ORMs not knowing what they are doing, but if someone wants to be a DB expert, I'm pretty sure they go to read about databases :) These ORM beginners will fail either with the ORM or without out. I guess the idea is you'd prefer they "fail fast", e.g. the ORM covers for them while they proceed to screw up more deeply? This is arguable; if you've seen much of the non-ORM raw DB code I've seen, it too fails pretty hard. But even with this argument, if ORMs produce the problem of incompetents who are not found out fast enough, why hoist the denial of useful tools to those developers who do know what they're doing.

You can't determine whether Autopilot makes driving safer by comparing miles driven only on highways by Teslas to miles driven across the whole vehicle fleet.

It was going to break down eventually. The fact that Bretton Woods lasted as long as it did is rather impressive. The USA was the only country to benefit from the agreement. It was only begrudgingly signed by the other participates.

Why exclusive contract? What is gained? Rail right of way is exclusive just from geometry and there are various historical "accidents" involved in ownership from no longer relevant reasons but there are myraid ways to deliver mail which may or may not be excluding.

A forced bidding system seems to give gameability and artifical barriers to entry for little gain. To give an anchhacic example of the sort of problems it would be akin to requiring a business that can serve all of New York City competively before bidding.

This is an often stated criticism of modern Lego designs, but I wonder if anyone has tried to test this empirically?

E.g. if you gave a group of kids a "classic" set and another a themed set, with no further instructions, would the first group produce more "creative" designs?

I think the critics of the branded sets undervalue the Piagetian concept of scaffolding, basically that having the Harry Potter superstructure allows kids to riff on a variety of concepts that actually may be more "creative" than the random geometric blocks.

E.g. "What if we built a jail around Voldermort instead of killing him" seems like an equally valuable expression of creativity as "I made a vaguely car-shaped thing, but it has six wheels instead of four and has those little lever bricks instead of a steering wheel."
Mining Insights from Weakly-Structured Event Data
This is not very efficient:

- It updates the records every 30 seconds even if it doesn't have to.

- It has to be run as a daemon, eating memory and CPU time constantly.

- only checks one IP service (ipify)

I have a more advanced version, which:

- you can run as a cron job

- only updates the records if the IP address actually changed.

- checks multiple IP services (so in case multiple of them going down, it will still work)

- have a better command line interface

every company will pay for WeWork reimbursements more readily than some random local expenditure

But why would they? Even wealthy companies now insist that most business travel is done in economy class. Big airlines can’t sell business-class seats just by making expense claims easy to file. So why does WeWork think it can sell flashy office space?
I wish this would get discussed in the context of options that actually would be worth something, just once. Seems like a much easier decision when you’re talking about a company that hasn’t experienced much interesting growth and is likely not going anywhere.
