I think this is a great way of putting it. Dating apps very often feel this way to me: no one is perfect, so it's very difficult to know if you're making the right set of tradeoffs, and then you feel very impersonal for looking at dating through that lens.

Currently reading The Paradox of Choice, hoping it gives me more clarity on navigating problems like this, but I'd be curious if others here have thoughts or additional reading on that topic as well.

With regards to the "one local doctor" point: I think the question is whether we lost something when we lost that mutual dependence on someone, forcing us to all get along. I'd argue the benefits we gained from more choice were better, but we didn't exactly acknowledge what it was that we lost.

Wind cannot power modern transoceanic shipping.

If something cannot go on forever, it will stop. Stein's law.

You seem to think that the present state of affairs is preordained or eternal. It is not.

Today's shipping regime is an accident of current technologies, fuels, and environmental externalities. Future regimes will be shaped by their circumstances, constraints, economies, and values or awareness. They will be quite different from what exists now.

What specifically those will be, I don't know. That they will differ, I am certain.

There are a limited number of ways to power long-range marine shipping. The total energy requirements are such that wind or fuel-based systems are about the only likely candidates. Economies are such that these will likely continue. Compromises such as slower speeds (vastly more efficient) and hybrid power are quite likely. Ship sizes, s schedules, crewing, operations, and total shipping volume, as well as costs, will all but certainly change. These will have significant systemic effects on other activities. Total scale and efficiencies are such that biofuels, as part of a mix may well be part of the solution.

A growing national business with $12M + annual cash flows (still technically a small business, so probably not relevant). We worked through small local midwestern banks, but found the larger banks (e.g. Wells Fargo) and American Express were necessary to get required US services (credit lines, commercial paper, credit card expense reporting etc). American Express has been a pleasant surprise as much of our cost of doing business is paid that way, for which we get (valuable) points/perks. Something I think not enough businesses use.

Larger banks also seem to make it easier to remove personal guarantees on credit facilities as tbe company grows. As for how much to allocate to each account, most banks provide a sweep service if balances are large enough where the balance of each account is sweeped nightly into a money market account, and then restored the next day, Otherwise you just need to maintain balances in each bank account in support of your cash flow projections.

As for international finance, I have found that foreign banks (e.g. ANZ Banking Group, Royal Bank of Canada) are much better with transfers and moving money around than US banks (as they are not stymied by the Federal Reserve and the Fed Payments System). Do not overlook Bitcoin either.

Where small local banks shine for us is through their trust departments. Larger banks tend to have trust products and packages for "wealth management" into which funds are dubiously recruited, while with small trust companies, you can engineer boutique situations (e.g. where fiscal instruments such as securities and time deposits can be held as collateral but still traded on the open market under a trust account). Befriend a small bank trust officer!

Transfer of large amounts of money between banks in the US is still very much a credit transaction - availability of funds are determined by the credit of the parties to the transaction. New companies with large transfers even between large banks will get restricted funds availability, until credit develops. Working with larger banks, it is much easier to establish funds availability in conjunction with a more holistic credit picture.

I'm sure for legitimately large corporations, there is a need to diversify among the top 13 banks, especially for national businesses (e.g. not even Wells Fargo is in Missouri or Oklahoma). We have found there effectively are NO national banks in the USA present in all states (we have personnel in all the lower 48). As in politics - when you're small you are either Democratic or Republican. When your large it is necessary to contribute equally to both. I think the same is true of banks - a business of $100M or more would want to diversify even if just for risk management.

I agree with @davismwfl that you need to construct a banking relationship around your systems.
I wholeheartedly agree. Eating less for some people with strong hunger pains can be almost impossible. I was one of them. Skipping breakfast would make me irrationally angry, and the pain of having an empty stomach was too much to bear. I could not concentrate even if I had mild hunger.

I'm going to plug in a program that changed my life, even though I have never done that, and I don't really agree with their business model, but their methodology for training yourself to eat less is top-notch and incredibly simple. The program is called Naturally Slim, and many insurance companies cover it.

I think their $50/month fee for non-insured people is a bit outrageous because the principles are simple:

* Eat really slowly and stop eating when you're not hungry anymore (not full, just not hungry). Throw away the rest of the food or store it for later.

* Only eat when you're really hungry.

* Drink diluted orange juice at a 1:8 ratio throughout the day to maintain a steady glucose level and prevent hunger.

* Your meals should consist of about 1/3 vegetable or animal protein to keep hunger away.

* Instead of having breakfast, drink plenty of water or the diluted orange juice. Most people aren't really hungry in the morning.

The beauty is that as your body weight drops, your caloric requirements drop, and if you're following the first rule, you're eating less every week.

Probably that's how anorexia sufferers get to eat so little without feeling devastating hunger.

Show HN: Certainty-JS: Automated CACert.pem Management for Node.js Software
Hi HN,

A couple years ago I started developing an open source PHP library called Certainty. You can read about it here: https://paragonie.com/blog/2017/10/certainty-automated-cacer...

Essentially, I wanted to ensure that server-to-server HTTP requests use TLS securely in open source projects, but unfortunately a lot of code disabled TLS verification in PHP software.

Including eCommerce plugins.

Including eCommerce plugins that connect to Authorize.net payment gateways.

However, no equivalent JavaScript solution exists for solving this problem.

I was concerned that a lot of the developers who used to write vulnerable PHP code might also be working in the Electron/Cordova/etc. ecosystem today, and if they retained any of their bad habits from their PHP + ext/curl days, their products would be at risk.

So I decided to port this library to Node.js. Let me know what you think.
I agree that carbon footprint should be something that people keep in mind when they're eating. What's worth noting though is that regenerative agriculture (where the goal is to be sustainable and can be carbon net negative) requires ruminant grazing as part of the integrative crop production cycle.

A recently commissioned LCA study done by Quantis showed that for White Oak Pastures, estimated carbon footprint was -3.5kg CO2e/kg (vs 30+ for conventional beef): http://blog.whiteoakpastures.com/blog/carbon-negative-grassf...

This seems to jibe well with the research coming out of the Rodale Institute and peer review (I've written previously about this so instead of rewriting, I'll just link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20652657).

WOP sells 1 lb of their ground beef for $10/lb (either a 90/10 or 80/20 blend), so it's about twice as expensive as conventional beef: https://www.bls.gov/regions/mid-atlantic/data/averageretailf... (you could probably match the price if you are able to buy and store in bulk from a local regenerative-practice farm), but I think for most people reading this comment, the price difference is still de minimis compared to their overall daily cost/expenditure.

Another thing to keep in mind is the latest and most detailed FAO put full LCA (this includes supply chain, etc) of CO2e of global livestock production at 14.5%: http://www.fao.org/news/story/en/item/197623/icode/

IMO the anti-beef climate story seems to be very overblown/disproportionate compared to its relative GHG impact (lets not distracted, switching off of fossil fuels is by far the priority).

That's still way too low. A window size of 64KB will be a bottleneck on any 10 Gbps Ethernet connection, except perhaps a point-to-point cable. Any real-world network with switches, routers, and firewalls will require on the order of 256-512KB window sizes for decent performance. You need megabytes for any link that leaves the building!

For reference, 64KB was the default in Windows 2000-XP, and is dynamically raised up to 2MB in Vista and later, and up to 16MB on recent Windows Server versions.

Look at cars - even if every single car produced from tomorrow onwards was electric, it would take 20 years to replace cars already on the road. And most cars being produced are not electric. And electric cars are more expensive, today, than their ICE cousins, so a random poor bloke in Russia is not going to be buying one.

Not consider that electrification of trucks, ships and planes is basically at 0%.
Replacing powerplants and other large caliber infrastructure takes even longer.

So we don't have the luxury of sitting around and wait for the market to sort itself out.

Well, it's undergoing a ~1.6m/s gravitational acceleration instead of earth's ~9.8, or the microgravity of the space station.

A good CEO who is very strong on vision will build a team that keeps him in check by having balancing strengths. But narcissists don't like balance. So they build teams that let them do what they want. And when they hire somebody who isn't an enabler, that person soon ends up gone one way or another. And it's not just CEOs. You can find a good example of this in recent US politics.

I don’t mean to underestimate what you’re going through and those in similar situations, but consider the significant harm being done by unnecessary procedures and medications which add no value to a patient’s life. A lot of it is being done by a glut of avaricious physicians in metropolitan areas, particularly those with large elderly populations. Witness end-of-life care with its outrageous in-hospital costs, which again adds little to the quality of someone’s life. This is one of the great scandals in U.S. healthcare.

Edit: For whatever reason, I was downvoted on this comment. I’m truly curious to know why. Is it too alarmist? Is it betrayal of my colleagues from someone in the trenches of our inefficient healthcare? Am I just restating the well known? Is it believable?
