West With the Night, by Beryl Markham. It’s a beautiful autobiography about and by a woman who grew up in British East Africa, became a bush pilot, and eventually became the first person to fly across the Atlantic from East to West, departing from Britain.

I recommend not reading the introduction.

This title may be relatively well-known among the HN crowd, but Interface by Stephen Bury aka Neal Stephenson is an amazingly prescient read. I find it Stephenson's most insightful and critical work that reflects contemporary America.

I think this perfectly illustrates the different business models between these companies. On the one hand, a company with billions of users where no money changes hands and each interaction is worth maybe $0.01 in advertising, and on the other hand a service for which you are paying hundreds or maybe thousands of dollars each time.

Don’t forget that just last year we were watching videos of innocent passengers being violently dragged off planes that they paid to be on. Despite some feel good anecdotes, airlines are by no means a bastion of customer service nirvana. Airlines hold 2 of the top 20 spots among the “Most Hated Companies” in the US.

Good customer service, even when your ASP is tens of thousands of dollars per customer, is probably the single hardest thing for most companies.

Whether it’s Airlines, Search Engines, Phone/Computer Manufacturers, Car companies, etc., we’ve seen basically every otherwise beloved brand fall on their face when it comes to customer service at scale. (And that’s when we’re not discovering their products are faulty, dangerous, secretly crippled over time, spying on us, exploiting our personal data,...)

Of course there are weird process gaps. Here we are seeing an account being flagged for incarceration, possibly because the account is actually being attacked by someone submitting fraudulent requests in an attempt to get it closed.

I don’t have a Facebook account and I don’t want one. But if that isn’t a weird process gap I don’t know what is.

Exercise is an excellent way to build outer confidence and self-esteem. On the inner level, I would recommend practicing compassion meditation, especially self-compassion. Many of us have a belief that there is something wrong with us, that we are deficient. If you can face this feeling in a gentle and self-compassionate way, you can bring the emotion to the surface and release it. Over time it subsides. This will also lead you to feel compassion for others.

You could start with something like this:

I have been looking for something like this for almost a decade and I even built a prototype and applied to YC with it in 2014. The problem is that in order to make email searchable, it has to be indexed by attribute and stored, most likely in the cloud so you can search on any device. That costs money, so any company will need to monetize it, either by selling your data or by charging you money. With so many free email providers out there, people are not willing to pay for enhanced email.
Oh I've been plenty tempted numerous times. If the thing wasn't as power hungry as it is for the amount of storage it provides, I'd already have one. I've seen some mod/retrofit project that replace the guts with an mATX mobo and a sata raid card, but I've got too many half finished projects already.

analog gauges tend to degrade gracefully though. I'm reminded of my highschool friend's '82 volvo whose speedometer read about 15% too low. inconvenient, but you could at least compensate for it once you understood the flaw. a group of dead pixels in a digital speedometer would make it totally useless if they obscured the ten's place.
I did a little experiment at my local mcdonalds last time I got hit with that "ice cream machine is out" nonsense. It happened on a night shift with 1 person at the register and 1 in the back. I showed up the next day with full staff and what do you know, the machine had been fixed in those 12 hours.

Or more likely, the two high schoolers working that night shift did not want to get swamped and behind having to add 2 minutes to every single order in their queue when they have to step away from what they are doing for the rest of the orders and make a shake. Rather than do that and have to be working from behind all night, the shake machine becomes 'broken' for that shift, and there aren't going to be any brown nosing managers working night shift anyway to put their foot down.

Perhaps it is time to charge for advanced support like AWS. If you want priority support for Facebook where stupid questions are entertained and your hand is held, 99 dollars a year. Considering the value of social media these days, it is not too much to ask, especially if you are an enterprise customer. For everyday customers with non-critical problems that can be solved by Namecheap-style support teams in Eastern Europe, 5 dollars a month.

The F-16 as a platform seems to have been really successful as far as low operational costs and a platform that is really adaptable.
So this point is such an interesting and common anti-pattern on the internet though:

1. Something is or provides access to good quality content.

2. Because of this quality, it gets more and more popular.

3. As popularity grows, and commercialization takes over, the incentive becomes to make things "more accessible" or "appealing" to the "average" user. More users is always better right!?

4. This works, and quality plummets.

5. The thing begins to lose popularity. Sometimes it collapses into total unprofitability. Sometimes it remains but the core users that built the quality content move somewhere else, and then that new thing starts to offer tremendous value in comparison to the now low quality thing.
What are the horrors of Template Haskell?

I'm not too familiar with it but I can sort of see how it is a bit different in what it can offer from Lisp macros. However I'm not sure I know how good or bad TH is for what it DOES claim to be good at.
What scares me most about all these stories and personal experience, is it often seems the only way to get these actual issues resolved is to know someone that works at the company, or have enough of a platform on the internet that eventually the cost of the bad PR gets to be enough that someone notices and fixes it.

I don't know anyone that works at Facebook/Google/Uber/etc. When I have issues they just go unresolved. Uber Eats double-submitted my order after throwing up a bundle of internal server errors and literally my only recourse at this point is apparently to sue them to get my $26 back. (Which I'm seriously considering -- even if I don't get my $26 back, it will certainly cost them more than $26 just to respond so at least the cosmic accounting will balance out.)

It would be really nice if there were companies to give my money to that did have some semblance of customer support that didn't require making friends with the right people or curating a social media following.

Actually I'm not a fan of PV. Gotcha journalism doesn't appeal to me. But I see that low quality "journalism" every day, so I don't see PV as particularly noteworthy. Certainly not worth altering search results for.

Thank you. It’s interesting that, even as a Founder of a few small startups that I feel differently.

Yes, I take a lot of risk by working without pay initially. But my early equity, even after dilution, means that once some funding has been raised and is being used to pay a bunch of employees, they are all essentially working for me and creating value for my shares.

Once there are hundreds of employees and millions of dollars at play (unfortunately not a scenario I’ve personally experienced), the early employees ride the rocketship and enjoy a 100x or maybe 1000x larger share of the profits than slightly later hires who are working just as hard every hour of the day.
If you look at the older versions of FDroid before they made it "modern", it is much better at categorizing and being able to find apps.

What this means is that, if you are confronted by a group of people, traditionally called provers, and you limit their collaboration in a certain way (here, by entangling some qubits and only using the entangled state for "communication"), then they can nonetheless prove to you in an interactive discussion that they know how to solve some Halting-equivalent problem.

This does not give provers any new tricks for solving hard problems. This puts a ceiling on the power of this sort of prover-and-verifier proof and what it can show. There are problems harder than Halting (that is, that are hard even with oracles for Halting [0]) and MIP* doesn't contain them.

In order for a concept to be meaningful, it has to have things that fall within and outside of it.

If the normal functioning of the government is rent seeking, then everything is rent seeking. If everything is rent seeking, then the term doesn't distinguish anything in reality from anything else.

You can't have a discussion about rent seeking without the context that there is such a thing as legitimate government that functions in such a way as to provide public goods.
Then I think you misunderstood rurban's post. He's saying it is a property cryptographic hash functions must have that they are constant time, constant power. Yes, all cryptographic hashes suitable for general-purpose use have this property. That's part of why they are good general-purpose hash functions.

And each round of Blake3 is constant-time, irrespective of input. We're talking about rounds (or, alternatively, constant-time for equivalent length input).

This is kinda part of the problem. Because Salvation Army is in this business, it's an excuse for others to not be - and especially so for governments, since "just leave it to the charity" is a very common take on welfare on the conservative right. So then when they discriminate, the people they discriminate against often have nowhere else to go. They have to either accept the religious mores forced on them in exchange for food and roof over their head, or they starve. And SA knows that full well when they turn such people away from their kitchens and shelters.

And no, they aren't a pinnacle of tolerance. There are numerous recorded instances of them refusing to alleviate the homelessness and hunger on the basis that acceptance of LGBTQ is counter to their religion.
That's right. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

I didn't say I had a low salary. As a single guy living by himself, my salary is above or near most of the median HOUSEHOLD incomes listed in that article. However, the cost of living here eats it away. Compare a city like Philly to DC for instance. Last I checked, COL is 27% cheaper in Philly and salaries are only 3% below DC.

Which goes back to my original point: "Yuck. You actually lose money working in DC, the salaries aren't even worth."

Flattening the nested states would produce an explosion of states. This page describes how Statecharts avoids that [1].

In regard to expressivity, specially compared with FSM, a thorough description can be find in the paper "On Visual Formalisms" [2]. I copy some points here for convenience:

...people working on the design of really complex systems have all but given up on the use of conventional FSMs and their state diagrams for several reasons

(1) State diagrams are “flat.” They provide no natural notion of depth, hierarchy, or modularity + orthogonality + broadcast communication.

(2) State diagrams are uneconomical when it comes to transitions [...] resulting in an unnecessary multitude of arrows.

(3) State diagrams are [...] infeasible: as the system under description grows linearly, the number of states grows exponentially.

(4) State diagrams are inherently sequential in nature and do not cater for concurrency in a natural way.

> As products of the US federal government they were not subject to copyright protection.

This really is not a good assumption. The federal government has plenty of ways around this. The federal government can buy copyrights, and also enter into work for hire arrangements with contractors and employees. When naked and operating without contracts, the federal government does have this default status, simple boilerplate copy and pasted contracts change this.

Chick fil a at least can be run pretty passively. I got to know an owner at a local franchise. He owned other franchises and gas stations, had a massive house in a gated community, and had time to lecture at a very good business school in town.

He had managers on every shift running day to day so he never really needed to visit the store, but he did a couple times a week anyway to show face with the staff and even step onto the line and bag orders if it got swamped while he was there, simply to lighten the load on the staff.

If this had been an independent restaurant, he might have been doing things like cooking in the back 12 hours a day to lower his payroll. Predatory is not the word I would use for most franchises these days; passive income is the word I would use.
A rare read in it's usefulness to know what gear you are in and how to build and execute around it.

Helped me remember:

- every good project/product I've worked on that has scaled began as something small and messy until.. it was less messy and less small by each iteration.

- having a team to innovate, startup, grow, and scale are often different teams.

- made some great points for providing opportunities to junior team members and not only experienced ones. People leave regardless but the ones who stay will be great.
