What always gets me about these statements is that, yes you're in a business relationship with the company, but that relationship is obviously highly profitable to you. What's the point of giving up that income just to "stick it to the man"?

>there’s absolutely no reason a 12 week treatment should cost around the mean annual US income.

What if it was synthesized in 5,000 steps from pure gold or something?
What if you don’t have a smart phone or if your phone dies? I know most people have one ... but this makes it a requirement. Maybe it already was one?
Well, seeing that you can get a new iPhone for less than $500....

Besides, Apple has 50% of the phone market in the US and it’s even larger once you move up the income scale. Statistically, anyone who is an “influencer” would have an iPhone.

Unfortunately, good maps are now scarce or unavailable.

The situational awareness of understanding where you are is a big loss compared to following GPS directions. Looking at a map, you may decide to take a detour or follow a more scenic route. Google maps on android makes this very hard to do since they've disabled the route dragging feature.

I also find that the computer generated routes, while much better than they used to be, are often optimized for the wrong things. I can often pick a better route myself.

I have a family member who would be lost without GPS, but they end up doing a lot of unnecessary driving when going out for more than one errand as they have no idea what the best overall route would be or where these things are in relation to one another.
> Would you go to a doctor that knows how to remove an appendix, but doesn't know how the circulatory system works?

Would you go to a doctor who understands how to do a heart transplant, but doesn't understand the Navier-Stokes equations underlying how viscous fluids like blood behave? Would you trust your car to a person who doesn't understand friction at the level of interatomic forces? Would you seriously trust your life to an airline pilot who couldn't single-handedly design and build a plane at least as capable as the Ford Trimotor?

People have always been specialized. Always always always. Even back before "specialization of labor" was officially invented, the people who lived in the Kalahari didn't know about hunting seals and people who lived in Polynesia couldn't hunt a buffalo or a bison to save their lives. There just isn't enough time, interest, or opportunity in one life to learn everything top-to-bottom. We're slowly improving the amount of opportunity, and you can fake an interest for a while, but increasing the amount of time is still a miserably slow process.

It doesn't need to if you're doing something highly valuable for a specific subset of potential customers.

I don't know what it says in the book, but I'd expect the message would be similar to the YC advice, which is to start talking very early and frequently to potential and existing customers, to ensure that what you’re building is highly valuable to them.

YC partners have often said that the companies that achieve the biggest success are the ones who are the most active in talking to existing/potential customers.

They also note that the ones who spend money on paid marketing before they have a highly valuable product and organic (i.e., free) growth are the ones who fail.
I hate GPS... But that is because I love being lost, particularly in a place like a strange city. There is a kind of joy in not knowing were you will be next and what you might discover.

Something like GPS more or less forces you to decide on a destination. Often times, having a destination means you miss a lot of interesting places. Even if you have a destination it can be better to end up at that destination through an interpretation of your surroundings and what they mean. My father used to call this process "getting the lay of the land". You don't have to just travel past your environment, you can become part of it.
Ability to pay? Is that a joke?

Considering that 40% of Americans can't cover a $400 emergency expense[0], what makes you think they can pay $84,000 for a 12-week treatment?

DevOps KPIs you should track to gauge improvement
Isn't this just essentially just a reflection of maslow’s hierarchy of needs? I mean, everybody has their demons, and the founder of the billion dollar company has the time and resources to face those demons by receiving top quality professional assistance, leading him/her closer to some kind of self-actualization. Whereas a large majority of the population (even in developed nations) are still struggling on much lower levels of the hierarchy, such as fulfilling their "safety needs" (e.g. employment, health, etc).

I would therefore argue that the "untouched wounding" remains buried for most people because they are never in a position to address it, and the "ego-striving" remains essential part of their survival toolkit. There is simply no "salvation" in this regard for most people and it's quite sad.
Science the Endless Frontier by Vannevar Bush (1945)
Every single neuron has many levels of excitement with different ramp-up, cool down, refractory periods just to name a few non-discrete variables. Not accounting for the rest of chemical soup and meyham happening in the nervous system. Thinking that nervous system is discrete and finite is very, very reductionist and wrong, perhaps as if to compare a novel and an alphabet ("why would you need infinite set space to describe all the possible novels? There are only 30 letters in the alphabet").
It seems like we've hit a point where someone could have airpods and a mobile enabled iwatch and accomplish 80% of what needs to be done communication-wise, namely text, email, voice calls. Has anyone tried this? It might actually encourage more voice calls due to the interface constraints which might be a nice side effect (for some).

Other than that, there are a several other tools in the Enterprise Analytics space that fall into a similar pattern like Alteryx or Collibra. But from their perspective it makes perfect sense, I guess. When your sales is done by relationship building and there isn't much competition once you're in, there isn't really a need to boast a fancy website or make an effort.

They're priced this way because they're 80-90% cheaper than the previous treatment.

Previously, with no cure, HepC patients would have eventually had a liver transplant. Liver transplants cost between $500K-$1M. Of course, it also requires a liver, so many would die waiting for a liver.

As you noted, the drugs have become much cheaper. Mavyret is ~1/2 the cost of Sovaldi, the first drug on the market (replaced by Harvoni). Mavyret actually only has an 8 week treatment, which is an improvement over the 12 weeks of Harvoni.

The competition within these drugs became so fierce that, despite these prices, no new ones are planned (last I read). In fact, one you listed here has been off the market for over a year

We were close to adopt Airflow in our company but we were let down by a detail: the scheduler isn't natively in a high availability mode.

I'm always surprised at how people fall in this trap. Businesses are inherently not there for your interest (income/livelihood), they exist to capture money/resources. They hire people to be the human face to make it appear otherwise (HR) and market (propoganda) to workers in similar ways products/services are marketed to consumers.

If there's a position, businesses expect it contributes to their profit. If the position pays $200k/yr, you can rest assured in the long run, they expect your work (or at least an average of your team, branch, etc. over that time) to produce at least what you're being paid in value. That's optimistically speaking but realistically speaking, more value must be produced than your total compensation (you're always worth more than you're being paid or compensated if a business is doing its job well). That's labor in general across the board ("skilled" or "unskilled").

The catch is when businesses overestimate a worker's value... that's when we plebeian workers are actually pulling money/value from the relationship--we're getting back more than we contribute in.

For some reason, culturally, this scenario for the laborer to pull more value than a business is taboo and seen as laziness, fraud, theft, etc. but it's somehow not taboo when the direction of the relationship changes: for a business to make money off its workers.
> Not sure whether they changed this practice.

Nope, just confirmed again. The only way around it is to go with a business account, which even the cheapest option costs 2x the price of just you and your wife both having Plus accounts of your own.
> 70% to 90% of older injection-drug users are infected.

If you have the unique misfortune of being born to one of those older users, do get tested. I was asymptomatic when I tested positive a few years ago, at the age of 25. It was a surprise to the medical professionals involved, as I have no drug using history, no tattoos, in otherwise perfectly good health.

I did get the super expensive pills, and they cured me in eight weeks (and I'm extremely grateful my insurance at the time covered the cost).

My liver's doing OK, but who knows whether the disease contributed to my chronic depression. Still, I consider myself lucky to have caught it when I did.

Maximized for the total bottom line it isn't a joke. That some people die is not a consideration for those that control access to these drugs, the question is how many people should die in order for them to make the most money of the ones that stay alive. Think of the ones that die as marketing.

As a coach to similar-level people and professor/coach to elite students at NYU and Columbia Business School, I'm also impressed by how much the social and emotional challenges can be overcome with a few exercises that teach social and emotional skills.

It amazes me that our educational system at every level teaches so much information, knowledge, and analytical skill but virtually ignores teaching social and emotional skills, I guess because we can't test them in a way to stratify learners.

Most of my practice is leading clients and students through these exercises, which I call the basics or fundamentals of leadership, initiative, and entrepreneurship. In every other performance-based field we don't lecture and test but teach the basics and perform -- sports, acting, singing, musical instruments, the military (basic training).

A few exercises make master the following a matter of rehearsal and practice, not necessarily easy or fast, but straightforward and effective:

> The hardest of hard things to deal with for all these people (including myself, when I work with my own coach), no matter the level of success, is the perpetual, ever-recurring loop of mental chatter, difficult emotions and body sensations.

Friend, if they expect to be working 12 hour days, 365 a year that's the best thing that could happen. You have talent, you can find other work, work that's not killing your life, your relationships with your wife and children. Get out now.
IMO, knowing that it's a business relationship and not a community is important to getting your proper compensation and keeping your mental health. It's not about "sticking it to the man" at all, but getting your appropriate compensation.

IMO, too many people see their company as a family, but the company does treat them that way and knows the mistake that the employees are making.

I think it leads a lot of people to burnout by giving their all to the company while they just receive an average paycheck in return. Instead of putting that effort into their job, they could be enriching their own lives instead.
Don’t wait!

From the moment you decide to pursue the idea, you have to do marketing, advertising, and public relations.

The other day I was thinking about the proposed UBI program in the states ($1000/month), and wondered what a difference it would make for the poorest people in the world if the same monthly budget was instead divided between all citizens of the world.

It ends up being about than $40 a month, but for people living under a dollar a day, that's a huge difference.

Unfortunately there is no financial structure in place yet to deliver UBI to every citizen of the world, but it's definitely something worth thinking about.
As a Swede I'd say week numbers are pretty ubiquitous in Sweden, with perhaps the first exposure to using week numbers being primary school. I remember counting down to week 9 (spring break) and, I guess, all the other breaks too.

Aside from this though, I could never quite get the hang of week numbers and always just found them more confusing than using dates. When my friends say they're going on their summer holidays in weeks 30-32 or whatever it may be, I never know what that means. Is it July? June? August even? I have no idea, and I always have to ask for dates anyway, or look at a calendar, because I can't figure it out in my head.
The whole idea of open source is to remove barriers to building on other's code. This isn't cheating. Ignore what school taught you, but make sure you follow the ideals of the license, and try to pass it on if possible. Also, if you import a library, try to actually understand what it does. This is sometimes an unreasonable request (for example libsodium is a gateway to madness/enlightenment) but you should make an effort to understand the code you're importing!

> ISO ironed out all the details

Not quite: the paywalled standard itself contains bits like "dot or comma" for fractional part separators, which are then interpreted differently. Some software would use a dot (for printing and/or parsing), some would use comma, some would depend on a locale. It also allows to omit time zone (making the time unclear) and is generally quite complex, with implementations being incomplete (or having subtle differences) sometimes. Of course it's better than the zoo of formats, but RFC 3339 (ISO 8601's profile) is considerably better for interoperability, eliminating ambiguities and many options.
It has been adopted by the same generation who have been brought up by social media, smartphones and emojis. It is also that generation who can't live without them, compete for likes and followers for validation and hold an encyclopedia of anxiety names to self-diagnose one another over clapping or cheering.

'OK Boomer' really is funny coming from this current generation that hardly has experienced economic hardship and have lost respect for the brave who lost their lives to fight for our liberties from previous wars to even say this sentence. Nobody wanted a generation of losers a hundred years ago which we are now starting to create today.

While I respect their right to say this response, until they truly recognise the hardships of the 1900s, I can't take the political-correct police of this generation seriously if they get 'offended' by everything that crawls. Even with 'OK boomer'.

Offence is given, not taken.
Yeah, you can sometimes find them under RGBWW, RGBWCW, RGBWWCW. This was the strip I went with for my lighting: https://www.superlightingled.com/dc24v-rgbcct-5in1-480leds-u...

It's gotten to the point where you have to put a brand name into a search if you ever want to see traditional 'quality' manufacturers. Put a search term in now for something like 'waterproof gloves' and have a laugh at all the auto-generated names that pop up.

Likewise, the search results are optimised for sales and not discovery. Most of what you'll see is cheaper brands, lower prices and consequently worse quality.

In many ways I'm thankful for this as it's pushed me to many independant sellers own welsites that I otherwise would have been too lazy to seek out and buy from.

I did not know about obsmap. A few months ago I came across iNaturalist looking for species information for the Salinas River National Wildlife Refuge in California. iNaturalist had a lot of information for that specific site as well as for Monterey County, CA in general.

Just now looking at Obsmap for the first time, I saw fewer observations for the Salinas River NWR and surrounding area. But it looked like the activity may be more broadly worldwide. It doesn't look like what I was looking for. That doesn't make Obsmap bad, just maybe less useful for me. Probably depends on where a person is observing.

Thanks for turning me on to it though. Maybe it will come in useful in my future.
So "just" three more experiments.

I have tried it as an experiment to lower my mobile phone usage.

I wanted the ability to make calls, check texts, pay using mobile payments, and play music without the distraction of mindlessly grabbing for my phone to browse the Internet whenever a moment of boredom surfaces.

It works quite well. I turned off notifications for emails and texts. Instead, I check those once an hour or so. If a conversation becomes longer than a message or two, I call the person or tell them I’ll text them later.

I haven’t been fully able to ditch the phone, but I didn’t intend to. I experimented with this set up mostly for nights and weekends.

More jobs? No. But 'more' doesn't really matter. It's hard enough to move to the US.

It's easier for him to find a tech job in the UK (there are plenty) than it is to move to the US and get a tech job (for which he'd need to get sponsored by a company).

The biggest difference between US and UK tech isn't job 'quantity', it's job 'quality' (the culture in the US is better imo). But I'm not sure that's OP's priority currently.
