In a way isn't this what web technologies did?

That is-- pick an insanely fast development cycle where piecemeal/baroque security approaches simply cannot keep up. Eventually you arrive at a place where the whole endeavor become a giant tinder box just waiting to go down in flames. But that forced browser vendors to say, "Ok, let's just assume everything is constantly on fire, cordon everything off into flame retardant boxes, and improve our response time by many orders of magnitude."

Marketers view: the website has lots of buzz words, so it’ll probably do ok with gaining organic search traffic. However, I can’t really tell what the product does? Is it a CRM or is it a way to send messages to my clients?

I think you need to review what your product is, determine what your features are, then work out what your points of difference are. Feature Advantage Benefit model is a simple way to start this.

It’s hard to tell what you do. “Try it now”, to me at least, is a step after looking at screen shots and feature lists. Puretext looks like it has a narrow feature set - this might be an advantage in certain use cases, but you don’t tell me anything about what the product does, how it works, and who would benefit most from this product.

Also, you need to match your language to you clients. If you’re aiming for enterprise customers, don’t use colloquial language. Use simple, concise and clear language. I dislike the use of “Y”. Reading your other comments, I get the impression that this might be your personal style, and that’s great, but your product needs a different voice.

Finally, your prices are high for what appears to be a messaging service. There might be benefit in looking at your competitors (not necessarily the established, bigger players) and review your price strategy.

Good luck, you’ve got some good ideas here!

Yeah, Mercury's going to have to up their game if they want to stay relevant. I remember my disappointment when I found out I had to park 250k in a 0-yield checking account to qualify for the 1.5% yield on a savings account that can only do something like 5 transfers a month, making it a complete non-starter for running a real business. It felt like they're playing all the same old tricks on us as the incumbent banks, just with a prettier UI.

This new Brex account with 0 fees and 1.6% yield on the entire deposit with no transaction limits feels like a breath of fresh air in comparison.

Nearly every country’s Olympic venues fall into disuse. That’s one reason why the Olympics are probably best held in the US or UK or France, etc. where countries already have the resources. When countries like Greece or China built these resources they basically went into disuse immediately after. Even the Olympic village built in Atlanta cost more to refurbish than it would hlikely have taken to build from scratch, because these things are built in tight deadlines, and only really need to last about 2 weeks, so all sorts of shortcuts which make them unviable for non olympics use end up being taken to get them done by the deadline.

Pretty sure they're being facetious.
If you're going to make the energy-usage argument you'll need to position it against a comparable alternative, not how far you can drive a Tesla. How much energy does the current financial industry use on a per transaction basis? If you were to sum up all the retail banking locations, corporate offices, their data centers, contractors, POS systems, etc. would you realistically expect energy usage per transaction to be lower than a Bitcoin transaction?
At some level, yeah the onus is on the user to determine which stores are safe.

Still going with the browser analogy, you can install Firefox on your desktop, or you can install BobsBrowser v0.17. Obviously BobsBrowser won't have the security or support that Firefox would, but that's why Firefox has a reputation.

The walled garden approach is like if Microsoft forced all users to only have Internet Explorer, and Internet Explorer was unable to access websites that had not been approved by Internet Explorer (websites that would need to pay Microsoft substantial fees just to exist).
Coincidentally I was just solving (a variant of) this problem today. The approach I took is taking the list of numbers and recursively replacing each pair (x, y) with x+y (replace + with any operation), until one element remains.

You can separate the process by transforming the list of numbers into a binary tree and applying the operators at the nodes. You then consider all possible binary trees and all combinations of operators.

Bonus: by sorting the input values, you can consider half of the trees, because the operations either commute (x+y = y+x) or don't make sense to reverse in the integers (4/2 vs. 2/4).

> Unless required by law in your profession: Don't go to college.

Good advice if you don't actually like your profession and don't mind spending your career at the middle to bottom rungs of your profession. That's not necessarily a slam, the average is where most people are.

If you want a career doing fun and interesting things, even going to college isn't by itself enough; you have to master the things you learn there so that they're second nature. But, trust me, it's worth it both professionally and financially.
So when will HN and ycombinator.com get IPv6?
>Plus, he said previous studies have shown people don’t spend the money on frivolous things.

Serious question that I've had for a while: how can anyone actually say this about money, in any domain? It seems like because money is fungible, it would be useless to try to say where a particular $500 went unless it was the only money the participants spent that month. How does research like this account for that?
I think even Africa will have better passenger low speed and a high speed train systems sooner than US, if US will ever have them.
I lived in one of these for 3 years. It wasn't too bad but only because I happened to have a room with a very tall ceiling (easily 3m) and was young. Think of it as a small studio with a shared kitchen and bathroom, or a better variant of a dorm, except your neighbors are mostly hostile to you, and some of them are alcoholics.

Another saving grace was that it was 10 minute leisurely walk from the university I was attending at the time. How people raised families in the worse variants of these I will never know, thankfully. The only real snag was, I eventually had to move my fridge into my room, because neighbors would steal my food otherwise. Not because they didn't have their own, but because of "Soviet mentality" where private property wasn't really respected, and everyone stole what they could.

This is the period of my life I recall when some latte-sippin' macbook pro totin' millenial here in the US tells me that socialism wouldn't be too bad.
Agreed about checking. I'd like to check this claim but don't know how:

"His dismissal had been sought not just by Mr. Biden, but also by others in the Obama administration, as well other Western governments and international lenders.

I don’t know about who, what, where, when or why... but the “don't ship on Friday” comment in an apology statement regarding the handling of firing someone is completely brain dead / tone deaf. In the very few official statements I’ve worked on, they are reviewed by so many people (so many that even I had to vet it). Unbelievable that “don’t ship on Friday” got through.
I think this will happen within the next 10 years even without a brain interface. VR is already quite immersive even with low resolution and only vision + sound.
While I am all for stronger type systems, I don't agree that you need it to do sum types. We can already do one half of ADTs (classes ~= product types), I just want the other half!

In my mind, the syntax would be something like this:

sum_class Tree:
case Leaf:
pass
case Node:
data: Any
left: Tree
right: Tree

def size(tree):
case(Tree) tree of:
Leaf:
return 0
Node(_, left, right):
return 1 + size(left) + size(right)

A combination of data classes and pattern matching.
With a large enough data set I'm guessing it'd be pretty trivial. It seems like it'd depend on how many places data was collected from. Car #308933938 drove past main street each morning mon-fri between the hours of 7:30am and 7:50am heading north doesn't tell you much, but if you catch the same car at more intersections every morning and don't record it at several other intersections along his projected route you could get a pretty clear picture of where they are going and where they stopped.

By "min 3rd" you mean "minor 3rd", that is, an interval with 3 semitones?

E.g., an example of a minor 3rd would be an A and the first C above that A? E.g., on violin could play the A the first A on the D string and the C the first C on A string?

The ideal of free speech is a Western ideal. It is part of the individualist tradition going back at least to the Enlightenment.

Back when I was in college (early 1990s), respect for free speech was almost universal among educated people. Everyone was at least somewhat aware of the usual arguments for free speech and basically accepted them. Sure, there were people who wanted to ban books or music or video games, but they didn't have much success and they were generally viewed with contempt.

This just isn't true any more. There is a sizable fraction of educated people now who think free speech is bad and dangerous, who want an authority to control what people are allowed to say and to restrict what ideas others are allowed to come in contact with. And they're gaining power and influence.

Yes, you're correct that free speech hasn't always been respected in the West. Sometimes it gets stepped on. What I'm talking about is whether people think it SHOULD be respected. They used to, quite strongly, but less so now. If you favor free speech this should be concerning.
Honestly this is the area I'm most excited about. SRS is just one facet---correct choice of input media, datatypes, and mental models are a big deal here.

I'm a math undergrad. And one thing that drives me crazy is how mich rewriting I do. What I want is a semi-tangible expression tree that I can manipulate and "snapshot" (to show my work) into Latex. The Latex rendering was easy, but figuring out what "core tree manipulation ux actions" are is another thing.

Similarly--am I the only one tired of typing? I'd kill for a gait analyzer or a haptic glove that let me program while walking through the park.

Some of this stuff sounds farfetched, but looking at emacs, or chorded stenotype machines, or paredit, really drives it home that we could be doing so, so much better, with very little new tech required.

When I was a kid I had mild synesthesia where I'd tie the words "fourth" and "favorite" with a feeling of "reaching." I still today associate clojure's map with spreading butter, or reduce with "rolling up." Chinese abacus math, developed to the point where thr actual abacus is no longer necessary, is a thing to behold. The human mind seems to make these connections easily and automatically. Why not leverage that?

I'd love if text became just the shared human-legible bytecode for our own personal interfaces.

(Check out this clip: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cHIo96yBf70 where some people get fed targeting data from an AI plugged into all the camera feeds---and note especially around the middle of the video how the girl customizes the interface on the fly)
I’m honestly curious and not trying to be contrarian - what does your code produce if not more consumption in some way?
That's an interesting point. Alcohol consumption and opioid consumption are both up over that period of time, and either the driver or the pedestrian consuming those could lead to more crashes.
“Think of the children!!” Has become de-facto lazy I think. Not really more you can say about it.

Basic human rights prevent people being jailed on sight. Some of them are criminals. Some of those rights are constantly challenged, yet no one questions their general value. Privacy, thus end to end encryption is a basic human right. There shouldn't be any reason to require proof of this. What we have here is simply the fear of the loss of an extremely powerful tool.
Those four examples are not sufficient reason to deny good encryption to anyone...and denying good encryption to anyone is denying good encryption (privacy) to everyone.

With all due respect to Colombians, Argentina has a top entrepreneurship track record in Latin America even against all the political turmoil. Mercado Libre, Globant, Despegar are some examples of public companies but we can also find smaller and prominent companies in the security space (e.g. Core Security), blockchain/crypto, and many YC startups (e.g. Auth0).

I pretty much always start typing SQL queries with “SELECT *” because I know I’ll come back and figure that part out later.

It’s similar to how I write Python list comprehensions. I almost always type “x for x in” from muscle memory, then get the collection part at the end correct, then go back and fix the beginning. My brain just won’t think in the other direction.

Software development is hard. Mix that with the difficulty of starting a new business and it's even harder to get things going.

There are so many reasons why the business could have failed so blaming T for the failure does not make sense. The business managers had way more influence on whether the company was going to succeed. T might have been part of the problem but I'm pretty sure it was only a small part of it. If the company really had a winning business then it would have found a way to success.
