Hey, I'm one of the folks at YC working on Startup School.

I wouldn't characterize our advice this way. It's important that an MVP actually solves a problem that a user has, although it's fine for it to require some manual intervention at first that you plan to automate away in the long term.

That said, you should definitely be talking to potential users long before your MVP is ready, and one way to find potential users is by building an initial landing page and trying to get signups. Obviously, you should be upfront about the fact that the product doesn't exist yet if you choose to get user feedback in this way.

You can see more in Michael's lecture on the topic: https://www.startupschool.org/videos/65

Designing for Incremental Adoption
If we have more diversity in the kind of places where people can live, I suppose that we would have more people finding the place they want to live.

Other people replying to you in this thread seem to think people can live where they live right now and we can always resolve all the conflicting needs and desires. I think this hasn't been achieved because it cannot be. It is worth trying and why everyone should be involved in their community to keep it or change it to how they want, but I do think that there are points where you "give up" and move. I've done it before.
Supporting things isn't exclusive with aiming to be "lightweight but functional". You're still free to not use snaps.

> not built by Apple

If you hadn't included that restriction, I'd tell you about Numbers. Not all spreadsheet type problems fit into its limitations, but for those that do, it makes you ask "Why don't all spreadsheets work this way?"

But you did make that a restriction on your criteria, so forget I said anything. :)

The first non-Apple software I thought of when you asked the question was PDFpen, which operates vaguely like what is now called "Acrobat DC" used to. Acrobat drives me up a wall; it's like they asked, "How can we make the Microsoft ribbon interface even worse? Let's do that!"

I have about three Markdown editors that are Mac-only that I like better than any cross-platform alternative I've tried. (Byword, Markdown Pro and MultiMarkdown Composer.) I have three because none of them does everything right, so I occasionally have to switch for some task or other. I'd happily switch to something cross-platform if it matched the union of those three apps' features, those I care about, anyway.

I suspect I have three solid Markdown editors to choose from because they're all based on solid OS-level rich text editing features that exceed what you get on Windows, so the non-Mac competition has to waste a lot of resources reinventing wheels. Just as one example, you get grammar checking for free in most Mac native text-editing software. Where it doesn't occur, it's usually because the app is cross-platform and is thus avoiding Mac-specific features.

A related example is the built-in dictionary. You can get dictionary/thesaurus apps on other platforms, but they generally aren't as deeply integrated as the one on macOS.

Then there are the times where you have a cross-platform app that simply works better on macOS. VLC and MacVim (as compared to gVim) come to mind.

Germany has about as many diagnosed coronavirus cases; the difference could be wholly explained by Germany testing more people. (Germany has administered 2 million tests, New York State [I didn't see a figure for the city], about 700 thousand.)

I see, it sounded like a buzzword term (which I guess it still might be). The point is that the current title makes it sound like a general comparison, while the original title makes it clear that it's comparing three implementations of a single tool.
Normally we just roll dice, highest wins. Even with 2x the possible options per player compared to janken, there's still some rolloffs.

I'm wondering though if you can do better with an even-odd variant; each person is assigned a number 1-n, and players secretly pick and simultaneously reveal a number 1-n. The winner is the person whos number is sum(player picks) mod n.
And you are missing mine. Agreed there could be long term things. Yes, we should study that and watch for it.

If that is the extent of your point, then my response is "yes, and?"

Your framing, though, begs the question that mild cases have long term damage. We have zero evidence of that. Literally none.
"classic" snaps are not sandboxed, and you have to acknowledge that when installing them.

A trick I learned to deal with this very thing was just to attempt to call the local time/weather number after getting my dial tone back.

That said, with far-side supervision, I suspect that the call would actually time out after something like 20-30 seconds of either party hanging up. I'd just make it a habit to go put the kettle on and make some tea before placing another call.

If the call doesn't time out, well, it's time to ask BT some hard questions as to why they're allowing that sort of nuisance on their telephone network. AT&T managed to get rid of it here just fine.
Economics in the Age of Covid-19
There are so many instagram "clones". Not sure what the right term is, but basically its just a copy of the entire site with all the pics/vid links pointing back at fb servers. How they manage to keep this stuff running boggles my mind.

I have moved off everything FB related so its almost become a habit now for me to use these sites to follow certain accounts. With noscript on FF and picking the right clone easy to get the simplest page (no js running) with just the pics and captions.

Just google the insta username and you get the sites.
One thing the article doesn't mention: What's next for the facility? Is this a shift change, with the next group cycling in for another 28-day shift? Or do they intend to go back to normal shift work, with people heading home at the end of each day? Or have they created enough raw material for now to go into a shutdown? It's an interesting decision point, so I'm curious which direction they took it.

I find text visually less fatiguing at high-DPI even though I have no problem reading it on my 24" 1080p secondary monitor. I don't think it's a matter of productivity as much as comfort (though maybe comfort indirectly affects productivity).

I agree with everything you said about the more recent releases of MacOS. Maybe I was being too generous in my previous comment - it really does seem optimized for very small laptop displays, so that's probably why they have recently placed so much emphasis on fullscreening everything (and also why they got rid of the Expose grid - horizontal swipe works better on a laptop trackpad).
They're duals. Seminal paper:

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/221321424_A_unified...

Performance characteristics depend where on that continuum your workload falls. For example, Erlang/BEAM uses a generational GC for most common heap objects, but refcounts large binary blobs. This is pretty much a perfect case for refcounting: new references are created infrequently, copying or moving is expensive, destruction is deterministic and happens immediately after the last reference disappears, and there're no pointers within the blob that would require tracing or cycle-detection.

Similarly, UI components within a GUI is another good case for refcounting (and presumably why Apple continues to use this for Objective-C and Swift in Cocoa). New references happen only in non-performance-critical code, most data remains live across collections, and copying/moving existing data would a.) be slow and b.) would invalidate any C pointers into contained data.

Sounds like the particular problem domain described in this article is one where heap allocations are frequent, which makes generational GCs more appropriate. That's probably the case with the vast majority of computational algorithms, but there are definitely problem domains where refcounting continues to beat GC.
This was discussed yesterday: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22949580. Since this discussion is still charging, maybe we'll merge those comments hither.

More interestingly: it was posted, but barely discussed, in 2018: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17843277.
In Smalltalk, the only way how to communicate to objects is by sending messages. The way how they react on the messages is full the responsibility of objects, and they can refuse them. This decision is strictly late-bound because all message passing in Smalltalk is late-bound. You may say that all the methods in Smalltalk are "public", but it is not the very same meaning as in other languages.

The objects store the state in instance variables. You cannot access the instance variables of objects from outside of the object. All instance variables are "protected" in the terminology of C++.
What do you consider high-quality?
>I think on-device kickstands are tacky and liable to break, not to mention limited in function.

Honestly, try one on the Surface line outstanding engineering. At one point I'd have described it as "Apple quality" but now I honestly think that their industrial design team is surpassing Apple in more areas each year.

There is no truly good reason why the iPad doesn't have one.
This actually is a ThinkPad :(

It’s a new X390 Yoga though. Maybe they’ve dropped the ball a little, it definitely matches my friends’ experience that the more traditional models are pretty stable.
That is the point of my question. There has been no evidence of damage in non severe cases. Indeed, we are having to get complicated testing to find out many people had it at all.
> Who decides who the liars, cranks and con artists are?

Yes, WHO decides.
Hush money
This has what to do with their medical and public health recommendations?
> IF new cases today are less than yesterday

That's a big if. We don't have enough testing in place to determine that currently. The reported number of cases and the actual number of cases are not the same right now.
The side doesn't make any difference to me.

I have an LG Ultrafine 5k connected via thunderbolt. In order to use my machine for anything even mildly intensive while the monitor is plugged in, I've resorted to a 5-fan laptop cooling stand and a medium-sized personal cooling fan sitting next to it.

I do live in a warm climate, but this is ridiculous.

The only thing I can think of other than it being shitty thermal design is that the cable is dodgy, easily losing signal if moved the wrong way. Is this something that could affect it? I'm planning to order a new cable but I've seen so many reports of thunderbolt ports getting to hot and triggering the dreaded kernel_task I'm not optimistic.
So the scammers expected the victim to callback the bank to get the secret code? That is pretty sophisticated. But when they first called they knew about fraudulent discharges, and presumably had caused them, right? Or did they break into the victim's computer? Tbh., something is missing in that story.
If someone knocks on my door and I haven't invited them over I don't even consider answering it. It doesn't matter to me what sort of uniform they are wearing. The same goes phone calls. I don't understand the obligation people feel to engage in unsolicited meetings and conversations.
Now all they need to add is hardware 2FA key support. It's on their roadmap and supposedly development is nearly done.
You're right, I noticed this recently as well. Clicking the photo brings up the sign-up modal. However, middle clicking to open in a new tab views the photo.
At a certain point, Apple had to stop calling them "laptops" and start calling them "notebooks" because people kept putting them in their laps and frying their genitals.
It actually does, but you have limited time until that pop up appears. You just right click on the photo, and have it open the link in a new tab.
While sounding slightly cynical, I have come to believe that your comment is a good description of the current state of "the latest buzzword" startups.
This would also explain why many people are asymptomatic. They are still getting exposed but with a much lower viral load. Maybe the best "vaccine" here is just the lowest possible microdose of the coronavirus. We really should be looking at all the asymptomatic or low symptoms folks and figuring out what they have in common with one another. I would bet you it's just very low exposure, which gives the body more time to develop antibodies and mount a defense instead of the immune system being overwhelmed before it can adequately develop antibodies.
"When they can be" is a strange way to refer to a universal shutdown of all jury trials in many jurisdictions, such as:

What was perhaps acceptable as a temporary emergency measure is not acceptable as the new normal. The current measures are overly restrictive and cannot continue for two years.

And while I don't care about religion myself, I understand that religious people feel the same way about closing all churches for years. We'll also have to find less restrictive ways to control the virus while allowing the churches to reopen.
Who was running things in Jeff's absence?
Here’s a brilliant guide to the pandemic economy — the first book to examine the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. The author, economist Josh Gans, outlines the phases of the pandemic economy, from containment to reset to recovery and enhancement. He steps back from the short-term chaos and takes a clear-eyed and systematic look — managing to leave politics out of it — at how economic choices are being made in response to COVID-19. The 30,000-word book is available on Kindle, but you’ll see at the link that we (MIT Press) also made it freely accessible via open access.
0.6% this is the estimated ifr. comparing it to the cfr of flu is not right, which is about ten times less than the flu ifr - or about 60 times less than this figure. your conclusion is upheld, but even moreso
After years of watching Rust excited, I finally have an opportunity to use it this year, and I'm loving it. Like you say, going back to C feels weird and cumbersome (ugh I have to free this in _how_ many places?).

Stable coins don't inflate crypto markets
This study is good news... I'd be interested to project the rate of infections WITHOUT shutting down the economy for what's now going on 6 weeks. Seems like it was all in vain.
There are a lot of people not going to hospitals either because elective procedures were canceled or they fear getting corona virus. These will contribute to excess deaths but not be caused by coronavirus.
> "Hi, this is <csr> calling from <bank>. We'd like to talk to you about <subject>. To ensure to you that this is not a fraudulent call, please look up the phone number for this bank and call us back. Thank you."

This would be great as long as your call back was recognized and immediately routed to the right person instead of being placed on infinite hold, as is usually the case when you call a bank's or credit card company's number.
We already have minor releases, but they are exclusively for critical bugfixes. Everything else either rides the train (up to 12 weeks) or gets backported to beta (up to 6 weeks before hitting stable).
A datum that is hard to square when the deaths are still dominated by the older population. If you had convinced everyone over seventy to move out of NYC last year, their CFR would be a fraction of what it is now.
That isn't supported by any facts and is totally wrong. Our ability to treat viral pneumonia is very limited. We aren't saving 60-90% of patients that otherwise would die which your numbers imply. We can move the needle a bit and maybe save 20% of them. As an example, 90% of patients that go on ventilators still die.

Even in a situation where hospitals are getting overwhelmed it won't make much difference. Much of the care that happens is pointless. That 85 year old obese patient with chronic heart failure ain't making it no matter what you do. So if we are getting overwhelmed we can triage and not see much impact on fatality rates because patients like that are dying either way.
MacBook Air 2020: Thoughts from an average user
Is that supposed to be disputing what the parent said?

> Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China🇨🇳.
I have a 13“ 2017 MBP.

What is annoying:

- runs extremely hot, easily

- fans are often on full force albeit nothing special is happening

- before buying the ridiculously expensive AirPods Pro, re-connecting them (normal AirPods) after a disconnect often required a system reboot (to the point I’ve made the reboot part of my pre-meeting schedule)

- connecting external devices usually requires adapters. With them too, when the adapter stopped working usually it helped connecting it on the right side (Reboots weren’t helping)

- for some reason the adapter would work on the left side again after some time

- as soon as I connect the external screen (not even a retina one) the fans go louder

- time machine is a PITA. Every time it runs fans are blaring up, machine gets hot - even system is getting significantly slower. Even if it just backs up a diff of 150MB. And it runs multiple times a day, with no option of configuration other than no auto-backup at all.

- Window’s decade old window management via shortcuts still doesn’t exist in macOs (you have to install a third party tool for that)
Beyond the sweetness difference, Classic Coke has a lot more bite. It almost hurts during the first sip of a freshly opened can. Obvious if you are aware of it.

Lots of developers do this already with iOS and the App store.

Some people don't even have a choice. E.g. taxi drivers had their entire market turned into a platform. Same with restaurants and meal delivery.
I would posit that the analogy is unnecessary and detrimental and that the statement "WHO is a political organization with medical leanings" stands perfectly well on its own. As have been outlined in this thread, the analogy serves more to lead the reader to wonder whether you meant to equate the two in quality or some other attribute(s) moreso than it does to explain the meaning of the first statement.
“About this Mac” is not an application. It is a non-modal dialog box that does not stay open when you move away. What kind of use case do you have where you need it to stay open?
With the global lockdowns in place, you would have to consider the hedge. That is the point of the article and your point. There will certainly be companies that move toward automation. I wonder whether the moves toward automation at the micro level are offset by the lack of growth in the macro. Is it a wash? For how long? These are questions that we will find out.
This is a reasonable decision on their part. I don’t think people realize how much of their traffic is bots scraping the location of people from photos.
I don't disagree with any of what you've said. I just think that many people are ignorant of that being the case with Amazon, Facebook, Google, etc because they assume 'Well Technology must have solved that'.

Then again, compared to the average bear, maybe I'm unusually circumspect when it comes to all of those things.
So if they make the wrong decisions and spread misinformation or fail to censor misinformation, can I sue them?

Why do they get the power but none of the responsibility? Is it just because they happen to agree with your worldview? And what if they don't -- what if they start banning videos that suggest Taiwan is a country? Would your opinion change?
Because the official narrative is not always the truth. And censorship breeds tyranny.
Lucky you. We found empty packaging for Airpod in our baby toys delivery. I turned the cardboard box upside down a few times but no airpods unfortunately :-(
And the deaths are concentrated on the older population. They do have younger people. They also have more nursing homes and assisted care. They literally have more of everything.
Because Americans make more money for most equivalent jobs?
