"Apple has a right to capture that value as they see fit" is a big statement to make without a foundation behind it other than "it cost them money".

R&D for an automobile costs a lot, especially if you factor in the decades most manufacturers have spent refining their manufacturing and technology. Does that mean Ford should be able to legally require me to buy all parts and service at authorized dealers only? Because most countries' laws disagree with you for reasons I think should be obvious.

Hardware with bundled software has for whatever reason escaped the realities that apply to physical goods so far, even though it has obvious problems. Now we have tractors that refuse to be repaired without dealer authorization (yay DRM) and we have app store lock-in where anyone who wants to install apps on their phone has to have daddy's permission. If that's the ecosystem you want, so be it, and it's perfectly reasonable for Apple to charge for access, but that doesn't make it good. If you love the free market you should love the idea of a paid product needing to live up to its cost.

I'm not arguing one way or the other, I'm just observing that "startup" is an overloaded term in 2020, and maybe the new definition is a bit silly, but it's also really hard to get everyone in a society to change the vocabulary they've become accustomed to.
You should check out devpost. You'll find a lot of people working on coronavirus projects similar to yours.
which mobile operating system do you use?
One of the main reasons (most likely) is that these antibodies are already purified and in stock in the laboratories. So I'd be relatively easy to start researching the binding sites to SARS-COV-2. And since there is a relationship between the 2 viruses you can get useful information even if it's not perfect.
Smartphones with paid apps predated the iPhone by years. Apple just were the first ones to really nail the whole App Store model on mobile.
I know many people who have been fired around me, throughout the world, this is really scary.

Ask HN: Good Twitter accounts to follow for information on Covid19?
Can you recommend any Twitter accounts of people who share relevant scientific information about developments related to Covid19, which might not be covered by mainstream media and popular science journalism?
Perhaps so, but there is plenty of precedent and quite a few networks operate in this manner (or something close to it). The real problem from an engineering perspective is that doing such a thing makes it much harder to deploy new devices and applications, since identities must be managed by some authority. Sometimes that is what you want (think of a corporate network where access is limited to provisioned devices) but it is not what we want for the public Internet (which is meant to be as general purpose and open-ended as possible).
Actually, I know some people who bought whole homes in vacation destinations that are doing fine as they are advertising their properties as good places to quarantine. It's the market for shared spaces that is completely dead.
Perhaps it would be better to assume (until clear otherwise) that everyone has good intentions, but a different persp ctive? Then we can try to work together, as partners, to understand each other's perspective and position, rather than thinking of others as opponents to be defeated.
Beautiful example of design driven by physics. I love it!

However, like all VLIW processors, no one knows how this will work on real workloads until they are in the wild.

I’m principle, it’s great just to see something different.
From what I understand (I have no insider info/hints or anything related), this sort of thing was precisely why Google radically changed the pricing structure to make the free tier much smaller for Maps API recently.

I.e. Google knew there was rampant abuse by people like this (this example is not the only thing like this I have heard of...) so Google fixed the glitch and in the process ruined it for all the people genuinely using the service's free tier.

This is why we can't have nice things :) I guess we are lucky that Google didn't decide to just cut their losses and close the whole shebang down - that would be a shame as Google maps is really useful IMO.
Yes. Stross’ article is old-fashioned pre-Pomo Marxist literary criticism—and is about as insightful as that genre usually is.
Yes, that's how governments and taxes work. The entire nation pays (at various levels depending on their income/resources) collectively to provide public services that cannot easily be provided on an individual basis.

In the Free Market similar approaches are used for things like insurance.
I think this is a great video that you might enjoy that would help inform the perspective I'm taking here:

And yes, you're right, people with less economic means aren't commuting for fun, but cars just enable that. If you don't have a car and can't commute, either you move closer to your job or your job has to move closer to you.
I think large-company actions should be measured by “would this behavior practically bankrupt a small company?”, and Apple has quite a few things in this category.

They do things that are only tolerated, frankly, because developers have no choice. 90% of App Review seems damned arbitrary, and since I can regularly find examples of clear scams their “review” isn’t even effective.
I have my doubts about if the mask itself really expires. It sounds like one of those things they stamp an expiration on because they have to. Blown polypropylene will probably outlast the heat death of the universe.
I have no idea if US reserves are sized correctly. If they are, sure, fill them up, but cheap prices alone aren't a reason to add capacity.
Hmm! Most likely in diagnosing patients. Something that can take a look at the patient visually but also based on symptoms. Another option might be better environmental monitoring. Early warning systems that would check for higher levels of pollutants in the environment. This could help in managing patient flow + inform doctors of currently available medication and life style alternatives.
This just sounds like marketing spin. It's hip to be a "startup" because that conjures up the idea that the company possesses certain advantages over larger organizations, even if it doesn't anymore.

Yes. But people rush into a kneejerk defense of superego (Apple is right all the time) and think that rewriting code pages is universally evil.

And to be fair it is tricky and slow.
> Note that in the US at least, experienced & skilled plumbers are paid above median income (in some cases, a lot above median).

Something analogous is true in India, where men are willing to take substantial pay cuts (~50%) in order to hold a white-collar job instead of a blue-collar job. They do that because women don't want to marry blue-collar workers.

Focusing on income levels in marketing to the men would seem to be misplaced.
I found the perfect answer to this question, in a way its comical. You use a blog! Use a blogthis bookmarklet/extension. You select a bit of text on a web page, click the blogthis button and POOF a wonderful formatted post with a block quote in an editor comes up. You write your own ramble under it. Add appropriate tags and/or categories.

If you want to be really meta about it you start blogs about separate topics. Enable comments if you like but don't make an effort for others. The target audience is just you. Real traffic is even undesirable since it requires comment moderation. A private/invitation only blogger blog honestly will do just fine. Host your own if its not a big deal for you.

Funny notes:

Not a week goes by without an email from someone looking to do SEO on my bookmarks.

Google search banned one of my blogs one time, probably because it had to many links or a lot of links to unpopular pages.

I arrived at this formula trying to build an audience for my blogs both high and low effort postings did nothing. Why should I even care? I find everything onthere fascinating. The largest one has a ton of people making claims that seem to good to be true. If it was aimed to create an audience I would have to endlessly explain to what extend I believe the claims.

Covid-19: A Look Back From 2025
Ask HN: What database is best for storing financial statements?
I want to store financial statements (income statement, balance sheet, cash flow) and run comparative operations on those statements. Ex: Find percentage increase in revenue for company A between year 1 and year 5. Find all companies that increased debt over past 5 years.

I'm deciding between SQL or document-oriented db like Mongo (AWS DocumentDB). In SQL I would plan for each company-time period pair to get its own row i.e. company A Q1 2020 is its own row and each column represents an accounting measure, like revenue. SQL seems like it would perform these calculations fast, but NoSql would allow for less structured data (even within GAAP accounting different names are used for similar accounting measures.)

What are the pros and cons of each? Any better solutions than these?
I have just started experimenting with this: http://www.topicquests.net:4000/ - it's far from MVP status but I am finding it useful to do research. A beginning user's manual is in the wiki at its github repo
If there are literally dozens of chat apps on iOS and his wasn’t allowed on there, who should I believe my own eyes or a random person on HN? What’s more likely that Apple single his one app out or there is more to the story?
I worked for a self-proclaimed "startup" that was 10 years old. At some point, it's really just another word for "we don't have our shit together."
>This virus is using up masks at 4-10x greater

That tells me we didn't really have reserves, we had an attempt at a reserve.
Hm, you seem a little to eager to promote your own stuff. This thread was about the "live-coding" aspect where the code updates on the left as you scroll down the post, so you can follow along with how the code is being built. I fail to see how your project does that. Yours seem like the standard code playground, so very different from what was linked earlier in the thread.

Or I misunderstand or simply missed where the "live-coding together with text" comes in.
I live in an apartment in downtown Seattle. I store two bikes easily, and use them often for exercise but also to visit farmers markets (when they are open).
Only Apple can answer that, but it’s probably because App Store review is extremely inconsistent.
> the demand for food didn't disappear, it shifted from HoReCa (hotels/restaurants/catering) to groceries

The demand for food didn't change but the kind of food changed a lot.

I'm a heavy purchaser of fresh produce. I've completely stopped purchasing most produce because these are in open bins at the market and I see people with grey skin who are obviously infected staggering around and coughing and sneezing on everything. I'm not convinced I can sufficiently sterilize things like lettuce and broccoli. I'm still buying carrots but remove it from its bag, destroy the bag, thoroughly wash, and only eat as cooked. Avocados I wash in soapy water, then spray with 90% alcohol. Lettuce though needs to go in the fridge, at which temperature any virus sneezed on it lives indefinitely. So for me no lettuce, no premade salads, no deli products. No problem, I have about 200 sq ft of garden with lettuce and many other things at present, and am adding about 200 sq ft per week to this, and will continue until I have about a quarter acre. this should be enough for me and for the neighbors that otherwise might attack and raid should things get that bad. I've got 30 tomato seedlings staged of 3 different species and these will go in the ground soon. In the past 3 tomato plants have given me huge numbers of tomatoes all summer long. This year I'm going for 10x that. I also have a greenhouse under construction, for managing next year.

Now what if some others are like me? They maybe aren't eating that lettuce, demand is down. Looking around, everyone I know is planting gardens right now. Baking bread is the new thing since there were actual bread shortages here in the US of all places. Not the Soviet Union. At present yeast can't be found. So everyone has their own sourdough starter and is basically manufacturing their own yeast.

The pattern of what people buy has dramatically changed.
"or making sure you don't leak out sensitive data"

If sensitive data can be scraped, it is not really stored sensitive. So I would not care too much about it and just notify the owner if I notice it.

> they were engaged in a form of carry trade

They bought a productive asset with credit and found it was less productive than it cost. This is simply capital expenditure. Not a carry trade.
I'm 100% for filling up and even drastically expanding the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. I'm also for ending fossil fuels (we can synthesize plastics without fossil fuels) and keeping as much fossil fuel as possible underground. The Strategic Reserve's whole purpose is to sit underground for the most part, so it's compatible with an anti-fossil-fuel perspective.

One way a massive Reserve could help fight fossil fuel production is because it devalues arguments that we need to expand drilling permits. With a big enough reserve, we can reduce permits on federal lands to just about nothing with plenty of time to drill them in case of an emergency like a war or something.

> Reference cycles cause memory leaks, beware.

It isn't acceptable to just permit memory-leaks in case of cycles. There's no way we'd ever see something like that in a serious JVM.

Unless there's some serious machinery to provide assurances against reference cycles, of course. Which sounds like an interesting research project, come to think of it.
Startups have had years to prepare, work on their plan, strengthen their fundamentals, and raise capital if necessary. I think the shock is that probably this is a faster onset and deeper drop scenario than most had modeled.

Every [1] startup has been thinking for the past couple years about their plan for when the recession would come. Probably hundreds of articles written in mainstream and economic/financial press over the last 2-3 years about "the coming recession" [1]. Trade war? Debt bubble popping? Auto loan credit crisis? Nope, turns out it's pandemic. Nobody saw that coming until January [3].

[1] No evidence but my guess. If they haven't it seems negligent.

[2] here's an example from 2018 from the NYT contemplating what will be the cause of the next recession (note, not whether or if it will happen, just what will cause it)
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/08/02/upshot/next-recession-thr...

[3] I mean the specific timing of this pandemic. As we've all learned now many in and out of government had warned the public.
You can look at Nvidia PTX as well as cuda. Ptx is their macro assembler code (still higher level than machine but translated by the chip itself I think).

As far as open sourcing the compiler, I suspect that having good documentation about what all the low-level instruction do would be as important if not more important than compiler source code. Just the compiler code wouldn't tell you why they do a given set of operation.

Moreover, if a group is designing the chip and compiler together, you may wind-up with a situation where they only know the compiler stuff works, they don't know what happens if you do various other things.

> such a right should extend to bots as well

No, it very much shouldn't, but (as you probably meant) it should extend to the person (not, eg, company) using a bot, which amounts to the same thing in this case.
Well, you get the idea. Food is subject to very particular customs, environments and traditions. Much more so than other things. So likely a skewed measure. Got to be other things that make at least as much sense.
I agree, and the article is very short on details regarding anything. It just mentioned empty claims about how a mysterious treatment is superb.

It's also questionable how the main argument is that patients within the small community who reported mild symptoms didn't get worse except 3 who required special care and ventilators, considering that about 90% of all infected experience either none or mild symptoms without requiring any special care. From those numbers alone, it sounds an awful lot like what to expect from the baseline results alone.

I'd like to see what the current daily number of deaths is for US. UK has a good current weekly tally. Can't find anything similar for US.

It would be helpful to determine the amount of overlap. That is, there has been a precipitous drop in pneumonia deaths since January. (That stat is tallied at CDC on a weekly basis.) how many of those have been recatagorized as covid deaths?

> I’ve also found that the best folks in business tend to have rich, fulfilling lives outside of business as well.

Totally agree, but I’ve been burned multiple times by startups that see any kind of multifaceted lifestyle as “not fully committed” to the team or company, which is ridiculous. I’ve been so disappointed how frequently this happens in tech.

I mean VC's aren't banks giving out small business loans. If you want $500k you go to the bank or find an angel investor, not a VC. The math doesn't work out for them.

I think we just need better infrastructure for startups to bootstrap with debt. It's not impossible or unheard of but it's more difficult for fledgling startups to get decent small business loans.

> the closest approximation to the App Store I can think of in the previous decades were game platforms like Nintendo and Sega

I think a closer approximation was actual stores. If you wanted to sell in CompUSA, BestBuy, or CircuitCity, you had to go through a distributer. I think the big one most of them used was called Navaro or something like that? If you were a huge company like Microsoft, they would take a 30% cut of your sales. If you were anyone else, they would take a 50% cut. And you also had physical costs like boxes, printing, manuals, disks (floppy or CD), etc. That you can now do all of this from your own home and pay only 30% is a frickin' miracle!

What I've done in the past is to pull down all the IPs of request I see, filter by unique, do whois for each one of them (you're gonna need to have a backoff/rate limit here as whois services are usually rate limited) and save the organization name, ASN and CIDR blocks, again filter by uniqueness, then create a new list with the organizations of interest and match with the CIDR blocks. Now you have an allow/blocklist you can use.
