>Even if a particular business has a lock down on a particular resource it can't control alternatives. The only way a monopoly can be sustained is that businesses price things so low that there isn't any profit in competing against them with alternatives.

This is empirically false, there are many ways a large business can lock down a market/resource, or very nearly so, and prevent competition from smaller upstarts. Look no further than two-billion-dollar-a-day-revenue Walmart, whose signature practice is running competitors out of town by undercutting them and sustaining the losses until they close.

I think it really depends on how long you've been in ketosis, and how well adapted you body is to running on fat.

At first you will absolutely have less energy, but it seems like the more fat-adapted you are, the more energy you'll have. At some point it seems like you actually have more energy to work out.
I'm in the US. At this time, I haven't felt the need to make any special plans regarding coronavirus.
It's also one of the top cities in America with a homeless problem. I believe Hawaii would give plane tickets to their homeless because they too have massive problems.
How many calories are you eating, and what is your fat/protein ratio? A higher fat rate might get you the energy you seem to be lacking.
Dietary cholesterol is very directly correlated with blood cholesterol levels. You can feed someone cholesterol and directly watch their levels spike. But your body will clear it if you give it time which is why your fasting cholesterol may not show this if you have naturally low levels.

But during that window if time that cholesterol is active in your blood it's not doing you any favors. This is why heart attacks very often follow shortly after a meal.

South Korea have been testing more people than anyone else - 10,000 per day, drive-in test centres, results in two hours. If you look at the South Korea numbers here (scroll down a bit) https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ you see 43 deaths and 52 'serious/critical' cases from 6,593 confirmed cases, so about 0.75% for both categories. I'm hoping these South Korea numbers are giving us a more accurate picture of whats going on.
> explanation for what Handshake is

Handshake is a decentralized naming and certificate authority [1]. It decentralizes the DNS root and allows for the people of the internet to own names instead of leasing from a TLD provider like Verisign [2] among other things like removing trust from the SSL equation, instead allowing for verification on the blockchain (right now, we simply trust CA providers who have issued rogue SSL certs [3]). It launched in early February, and since then, has gained a lot of momentum [4].

One name, crypto, sold for 588785 HNS, which at today's exchange rate of $.30 [5], would be $176,000.

The system is live and works with the legacy TLDs (eg, verisign continues to own "com" on Handshake and thus all existing domains continue to work). You can download hsd [6] or use an extension for chrome from Namebase [7] to start using the Handshake Naming System.

Hope this helps!

How to Build a Company: Interview with Arseniy Seroka
OP want clicks.
If you look at @programminggeek's point without passive-aggressive exaggeration and then at the wiki, you'll see that it's specifically called out as a potential problem.

Sadly, it's dismissed out of hand as a "people problem" and "irrelevant". It really deserves more attention.

First of all, if you're looking for programmers to maintain a VB6 app, you really should factor into the economics of that endeavor the fact that most people don't want to code in VB6.

Second, no matter how potentially beneficial the pair programming approach is, there is a question of psychology in play. There are people who are introverted enough that the constant company required for pair programming will wear them down and cause them to quit or change teams. Dismissing it as a "people issue" and misrepresenting it as being unable or unwilling to be a team player is an oversimplification.
I think you’re missing the point.

Make “rising tide lifts all boats” deals. Here, you’re entering in a deal to create additional value to the world.

Don’t make deals with a zero-sum outlook. Here, you’re entering into a deal for, at best, a transfer of existing value within the world.
I think if you keep in mind that it reports a specific thing, then it is useful.
At 13:42 Milton Friendman questions whether "socialism failed because it's good qualities were perverted by evil men" and goes on to claim that the both socialism and capitalism have failed or succeeded by each system being true to its own values. By that same argument, capitalism has failed by being true to its own values regardless of what the precise reason for the current high incarceration rates are.

His argument and his positions are horribly simplistic. Neither capitalist nor socialist structures can meet all of the needs of a society.
Would you use/ refer this Customer Success tool after visiting its landing page?
Hi,

My friend (Stanford CS Master, McKinsey) and me (ex-PM at EventXtra-500 Startups B19, TechCrunch Disrupt Beijing Top 15) are recently building a Customer Success tool focus on troubleshooting.

Website: http://www.usersavy.com

It'd be great to hear:
- Will you use it?
- Will you refer it your friends/ colleagues?
- How painful is troubleshooting in your Customer Success team? (1-10 most)
- What's the most painful and frequent problem you faced in your CS team?

It's my first time building own product so I look forward to hear advice from you all! Thanks a lot! :D
Interesting! So ITU is sort of the international standards organization for radio frequency bands... makes sense!
A Google search for me produces the word "Quidditch" in a box along with a link to the Wikipedia page for Quidditch and the first paragraph of that article. The box appears at the very top of the results. I'm not sure how a search result for that query could be much more useful.
This was super interesting! The design really helped as well. I liked this one:

"Lesson learned: People care about the narrative behind your product, so don't be afraid to tell your story!"

As someone who finds new things on HN all the time, I always check the "about" page, especially if it's something that isn't free. I'm surprised at how often the "About Us" isn't actually "About Anyone", there's no names, it's all just "Us" and "We".
I agree. I have switched and used to feel like the switch was failing when I had to use Google for some things, but realized that's just fine. I also occasionally use Wolfram Alpha for things too. Both there if needed, but otherwise getting great results from a company that respects me.

> If you have never entered ketosis and experienced your brain running on ketones, I would suggest you experiment for yourself. I would say a minimum 2-3 months which should be enough time for your microbiome to change and your body/brain to adapt primarily running on ketones.

I've been on Keto for about 8 months (before giving up), measuring my blood ketones and being in deep ketosis between meals (over 2 mmol/L). I've also seen values going over 4 mmol/L.

In spite of popular belief, nothing happens, there's no magic at the end of that rainbow for most people. If you felt anything different, there's a high likelihood it was just self suggestion, aka placebo.

Also most people are in ketosis before eating breakfast in the morning, because the liver's glycogen is partially depleted overnight, enough for the liver to produce significant ketones. And nothing will make you enter ketosis faster like skipping a meal or two (aka starvation ketosis). People with a healthy metabolism cycle in and out of ketosis all the time.

Also the idea that your microbiome has to change and your body/brain to adapt for you to feel any better and that it takes months ... is a complete myth. Your body takes only mere days to adjust to any dietary strategy. Also the dreaded keto flu is just dehydration from all the lost glycogen, which pulls a lot of water on its way out.
Then why do I see so many homeless people who are clearly in need of help in SF? Why do I see people being kicked out and shouted at? Why do I see people publicly shouting at bus stations? Or people randomly saying "fuck you".

I was there for 2 days, out on the street for at most 2 hours during my whole trip. I'm also simply minding my own business.

And it wasn't my first experience like that there. The other time I was there a guy followed me banging a cane on the street, talking about Satan and Jesus while rhyming. I walked into a hotel with security in order to get away from him. Or a woman screaming at me while she wasn't looking at me.

It's frankly ludicrous. I'm simply reporting what I saw there and it sounds crazy while I'm rereading my comment.

In Amsterdam I've experienced a lot things, but nothing like this and definitely not in such a short amount of time.
It is I believe, but I haven't seen many applications. It's marketed under the name ALON iirc.

I don't believe they can make big pieces though.
Scientific software for doing research is awful in many ways. There is a great deal of need at all levels to upgrade how scientists read, recruit participants, analyze data, and more. However, inside knowledge is needed to be successful. The research field has many unique practices that are important to work around.
Twitter's character limit was originally intended for posting on SMS, and remained long after it was even relevant. And they extended the limit recently anyway. And people work around it by linking multiple posts, so it doesn't even really matter.

And... I'm specifically talking about title length, not article length. Tweets don't even have titles.
"Capitalism prevents concentrations of power" was a pretty wild take even for 1977! Here in 2020, it's arrantly ludicrous.
Natural monopolies, by definition, arise from natural market forces, and thus do not rely on government intervention or unfair business practices to suppress competition. (That doesn't mean natural monopolies always compete fairly or never engage in regulatory capture. Only that these are not necessary for them to become monopolies.) Railroads are a commonly cited example. Today, the network effects of digital platforms are thought to give rise to monopolies (or at least high market concentration).

People who usually ask "give me an example of a monopoly not maintained by the government" are usually not asking in good faith. Many laissez faire capitalists explain away natural monopolies, or pretend they don't exist. So perhaps you expected this answer, and are already prepared to dismiss it.
I don't think it matters. The reason your company stated for doing this is transparently bogus, so pretty much everyone will probably assume the real reason is to help determine which staff members are going to be laid off.
Not the OP, but I've been using this to test my blood for ketones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0789G8KTG/

Indeed: "So many people are straight assholes in business. Especially the more you climb the ladder."

This sentence alone contradicts the title...
I have an example. In a previous role was in a position where we were negotiating a large-ish (>1M USD) multi-year contract when our client asked us to also do a proof of concept about some topic. It was just 1 week or 2 weeks so I said it would be free but because of various regulatory stuff we needed a contract in place.

I was dealing with the same purchasing lawyer on both contracts. The process was super-standard: someone sends a first draft, the other side redlines (proposes changes and makes comments), then the first team redline, etc, at some point you all compromise a bit and someone makes a clean copy of the document containing all the agreed changes for everyone to sign. So we got to the point we had all agreed and the purchasing lawyer on the other side produced the "clean copy" but he obviously thought we were a bunch of rubes so he produced a clean copy for us to sign by backing out all of our changes and only putting in his changes. This is a ridiculously low-integrity bush-league stunt and he did it on the zero-cost POC contract while we were still negotiating the >1m big contract.

Some people just want to win so bad it doesn't even matter to them that they are being total assholes, the prize is zero and it's outright harmful to their own interests. I bet he cheats when playing his own kids at boardgames.
There is a keto adaptation [1] period of at least 6-8 weeks where you might take a hit, but there are several studies that show that it's generally not a concern.

If you're interested in the topic of human performance and ketosis, I enjoy Volek's talks - here's one from a relatively recent Jumpstart event: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeS_dhM8dsY

Anecdotally, I find my workout recovery to be much better on keto/fasting diet, but all my markers (and overall inflammation) has improved so much and I'm being mindful of other aspects like stress, sleep, etc that it's hard to necessarily pin down to one cause.

I do find that I get... a lot of porn images in any DDG image search past, say, the 20th image result. For literally any search term, it seems.
The cost of an ad depends on its 'quality'. A big part of the quality score is based on a model of how useful that result will be to the user.

Therefore, ads for a company that appear when the company name is clicked are considered highly relevant and useful, and therefore have a very high quality score and therefore very low price.
Reading that FAQ, the idea behind low fat intake is that body will provide fat, which means you need to have some high calories restrictions to initiate process.

E.g. you need 2k calories for your day-to day life.
If you don't want to eat lots of fat, to get into ketosis you need to decrease your food intake to say 1k, with idea is that 0.05k calories will come from carbs in food, say 0.2k calories will come from protein in food, 0.75k calories will come from fat in food, and another 1k will come from body fat.
I've been using DDG on my one browser for the past 3 years and the amount of things I have to search twice, once through DDG and then again in google is absurd.
Perhaps ironically, I'm frankly astounded at the apparent naïveté still held about Facebook, Google, et al.

People, if any company has A-N-Y-thing that can be associated with you, online or offline, you have no privacy. None. It is gone forever.

There is billions of dollars at stake for companies to build as complete a picture as possible of you and every detail of your life. And billions more remains on the table. That is plenty motivation to fuel a highly-lucrative market for accurate, meaningful profiling for years.

Sure, there's a long list of actions you could take to begin minimizing your exposure, the practicality of each varying widely. But frankly, most of them would only serve to make going about daily life inconvenient. (And the correlation between effectiveness and convenience isn't 1:1...)

The best case scenario is your data becoming stale, such that its values diminishes to a degree that makes it effectively background noise.

There is simply no means of unembedding yourself. But also, more discouragingly, for most people there is no practical means to avoid being ingested.

edit: grammar
Full-on keto may not be worth it, but I would highly suggest removing most carbs from your diet (<= 30g per meal). You'll feel completely different within 5 days. This is especially noticeable after the age of 30. I have no scientific backing or research for this, but I've had a number of friends and family make this small change and every single one has not gone back. It's not even that difficult if you already have a somewhat healthy diet.
The accidents and near accidents I have witnessed in Los Angeles are people on wheels moving at ~10 MPH or higher against the flow of traffic on the shoulder or in a crosswalk. Dramatically faster than a walking pedestrian. People moving at these speeds on wheels also make unwise maneuvers to conserve momentum, unlike most joggers.

As a third party observing several of these events, I noticed that the cyclist/scooter rider/skateboarder more often accelerates to attempt to make a stale light as well, quite the opposite of normal pedestrian patterns. This has only gotten worse in recent years, with many more people having motor-assisted wheeled contraptions and not a lot of common sense about their newfound speed.
Sure, and if you find yourself getting stage fright, you can use something like Brian Eno's Oblique Strategies.
I wish there were more open source iOS apps. Recouping development costs is probably a big driving factor and provided I haven’t dabbled in building iOS apps in years I imagine the open source community driven scene hasn’t hasn’t changed much in the iOS community and turn costs remain high.
I have worked in 100% pair programming environments for 5 years now, across 2 different employers. I feel like what you’ve just discribed is a good example of the beniefts of pair programming along with the downsides of not doing it all the time.

Your skin crawling while your pair is fumbling for buttons in the IDE is likely displayed by you physically as well, maybe holding your breath or twitching your hands towards the keyboard, your pair is probably then also thinking “what are they thinking but not saying, have I just done something really stupid” which leaves everybody feeling very uncomfortable, and is unproductive. However if people are comfortable with each other and importantly, open to being shown something new, the whole situation is fixed with a simple “hey, did you know there is a shortcut for that”. Over the weeks simple interactions like that add up to mean the whole team is using all of the keyboard shortcuts. The same is true of software patterns and useful library functions, they spread like gossip in the group because everyone is excited to show the next person.

I totally understand that pair programming isn’t for everybody in fact I think it is only for a specific type of person and group. Pair programming only works in groups where each member has high levels of empathy and trust is high within the group. Everybody on this thread that turned down pair programming jobs because they thought it sounded awful were definitely right to do so. But for some it can be an extreamly productive and fun way of working and learning at the same time.

Lol, whyrusleeping is one of the core contributors to Filecoin.

Also if the price externally is changing, you could just... reduce the amount of FIL you pay per GB.

So if in t=0, the price of FIL is $1, and I choose to pay 1 FIL for 1 GB, and in t=1 the price of FIL goes to $2, I could just pay 0.5 FIL. Sounds like a miner (whose cost basis denominated in fiat) would be happy to accept either deal if its net profitable.
