I don't think so, but perhaps you're right. UI is included in UX as one of many considerations. Depending on what consideration should be emphasized we may need strong UI, or we can solve things like I do on my blog (herebeseaswines.net) - I deliberately put "about" and the "archive" at the bottom. :) In my view aesthetics is a more problematic term. But it is very useful, in aesthetics we have arguments on we have arguments on why things are (as someone say they are). In this, we have to have many considerations. For instance, I try to justify the aesthetics of blog here: https://herebeseaswines.net/essays/2020-04-21-the-aesthetics...

EDIT: THE FOLLOWING DATA IS WRONG. (I foolishly misread a chart. Leaving this up for continuity, but the numbers are completely off.)

Less than a third of Harvard students come from a household with income greater than $100,000/year. Almost half the students come from households with income between $30,000 and $75,000/year. One in six students comes from a poor family.

Harvard is firmly middle class. The data simply doesn’t support the argument that Harvard admissions is some old money New England conspiracy.
Separate table per tenant? Not unless you have/expect 2 to 5 tenants otherwise you run into the issues you describe above.

Having a database per tenant has always interested me. It make sense if the databases will be different (contain other tables)

Adding a tenant id to the tables that require them makes sense.

The best approach is to create a pivot table between users and tenants that holds user_id and tenant_id. Use the primary id of that table to represent the user at that tenant.
Especially in complex "human" problems like geopolitics where every action has 5 re-actions, some of which are only apparent 5 years later. When there aren't scientifically right answers then deceit can become an important part of the field. See - all politics.
Pretending that there is no deceit in political writing and that it's in any way objective seems completely naive.

Programmer Tao Zhou has a unique idea that could change pay-per-click advertising forever. His website, Buy Earth Ads, divides the planet into 2,752 structured administrative regions. Companies can choose to purchase areas based on their location and budget to reach consumers looking for local search options.

Pricing for administrative regions begins at only $1. Companies can purchase an unlimited number of them with confidence because no additional geographic segments will ever get added to this system. When someone buys an administrative region, it cannot go back up for sale again.

His initiated this idea as a way to pay off his 30-year house loan. The concept isn’t based on politics, but on a desire to encourage financial responsibility.

Buy Earth Ads displays the trademark, website link, and contact details after the purchase of an administrative region. It is a multilingual site that can promote apps, brand information, and more.

Companies that choose a more significant investment with this platform receive larger advertisements on the 3-D model of the planet that visitors see. By standing out in this unique marketing effort, the potential for clicks that boost ROI metrics becomes significant.

Organizations with interest in purchasing an administrative region can visit www.buyearthads.com or email contact@buyearthads.com with any questions, comments, or concerns. With ads starting at $1 and five years of display opportunities without additional costs, this unique idea can help any business become a local marketing legend.

And way more than 1/6th of America is part of a 'poor family'. Old money is vastly over-represented in Harvard, and even more vastly over-represented in the backbone of the institution.
I'm a little curious where your data comes from, because:

Serializable Functions in Clojure
Yes! Window functions and decent demonstration of datasets with varying granularity on top of the basic join/aggregation assessment is all that is needed in the SQL for interviews. And if you're an engineer, attention to redefining the query plan through appropriate use of temp tables. Anything else is a poor use of precious interview time for both parties, in my opinion

You know nothing of whether the hedge worked, because you don’t know what it’s long term cost is outside some cherry picked return claims.

It allows you to "group by/aggregate/etc" on a row by row basis rather than once over the entire table. So whle GROUP BY defines a set to aggregate over the entire table ( and hence you get 1 row back ), window functions creates a criteria by which each row gets a set ( aka window ) to aggregate over for that particular row. In addition, you can define a "frame" over that "window" for even more refined aggregation. I suppose window functions are used more in the OLAP space than OLTP, but it is a very useful part of SQL. In my opinion, windows function is the most impressive and important part of the language.

People can define, describe and provide examples but with SQL, it won't sink in until you try it out yourself and have the "Ah ha" moment. If you have a database server and some test data, try writing a few window function queries or try some online examples.

>China is, empirically, far more successful at producing engineers

This is baffling. The article is lamenting the fact that industry has been outsourced. There are few American engineers because there are so few American engineering jobs left. The American education system produced something like half of all new technology in the 20th century. Americans are obviously not less capable of being engineers than Chinese people.
I'd play the other side for a moment.

You describe as red flags essentially that there is currently no business side for a project, hypothetical or real. But there are presumably some specifications, some prototypes, development work, tests, bug fixes, demos etc. - the whole system. Surely all those different aspects of the coherent achievement demonstrate the viability of the idea.

> And make some friends, ffs.

Following Norvig, one ought to spend significant efforts to become good at something. Making friends - especially those who'd be able to share the unusual road of startup founding - isn't something which would be recommended to come lightly or carelessly.

If OP formulates the question for the solo founders, it surely would be interesting to hear which variants there are. Should engineers - here, on YC - regret they were focusing on technical sides instead of jack-of-all-trading and constantly searching for potential mates?

> "Refine" was used loosely, but the bulk of the plastics market are still relatively simple products that don't necessarily require extremely high technology to produce. It's still a cutthroat commodities business, but producing a little plastic has the potential to add a lot of dollars.

Injection molding and most other plastics manufacturing methods are much more sensitive processes than combustion which means that the commodity is much less fungible and much more logistics sensitive than fossil fuels. It's pretty common for a manufacturer to pay 2-10x market price for plastic pellets because of repeatability. Few would risk the repercussions to buy unrefined crude from Iran at a discount and there's certainly no one who;'s going to do it at $200 a barrel.

No. Only 25% of households in the US have annual income between $35,000 and $75,000. About one in five families in the US is below the poverty line. So middle class students are over represented at Harvard. Students from poor families are only slightly underrepresented, and considering that household income and academic achievement are correlated, it’s actually a testament to their efforts to have socially conscious admissions. The facts do not support your argument. On this you are simply wrong.

That wording, as silly as it sounds, fulfills an important role in the fundamental integrity of journalism.

Try to imagine what journalism looks like if everyone just starts collapsing "mostly certain" into "certain". And how that can decay integrity over time.

The beauty of the way journalists write is that they aren't the ones making a judgement call. They just report what some other authority has concluded (or failed to).

The response to 9/11 seems so disproportionate because it presupposed the existence of thousands more plots, which never materialized. Preserving civil liberties would have been free.

The spread of the virus is not a conspiracy theory or a what-if/abundance-of-caution proposition. It is an observable fact. There is no way the public tolerates the devastation that will definitely materialize if we go back to making arbitrary, untraceable contacts. If contact tracing is intolerable, then so is contact.

Why can't they just take loans like most Western countries do to balance their budget? The UK has been running at a deficit (£55 billion in the last budget) since 2002.

Based on my back of the napkin math, the UK would need to export it's oil (yes, the UK is a net exporter of oil) at $350/barrel to cover that.

• choose to delete some old sections of our app that still used jQuery, angering vocal customers.
People are really optimistic in the industry. I am active in petroleum circles and many are convinced that this is another temporary downturn and we'll always need oil.

All I see is public sentiment turning against fossil fuels and an inevitable death for 90% of the industry as we move away from petroleum. We only use something like >20% of raw petroleum for plastic and medicine and such. And the price curve is not linear, so the oil necessary to satisfy the first 20% of today's demand is probably priced some absurdly low number, my gut says less than $20.

It feels like our entire geopolitical system is crumbling. A vulnerable state had been brewing for a long time. Coronavirus was the trigger. Perhaps the american hegemony was not sustainable, or recently became such. For those unaware, petroleum really does factor into a lot of worldbuilding that we do in the middle east. Major shifts in oil markets typically mean major shifts in geopolitics.

Interesting times ahead.

You only need to do that if you keep multiple tennants in one table. But who does this? Usually in a multi tennant application you have only one line which connects to the tennants DB and thats it. The rest of the code does not have to think about tennants.

Basically, OPEC needs a situation where they can reduce supply by 10% and get more than 10% increase in price. Otherwise they may increase the price, but still lose revenue overall.

That would only be true if you had a zero cost of production (and OK in Saudi Arabia's case, they nearly do). A decrease in volume decreases both your costs and revenue, but an increase in price goes all to revenue.

So if, for example, at the current oil price you had a margin of 25% (eg. $15/barrel cost of production and $20/barrel price), you only need a 2.8% increase in price to balance a 10% drop in volume. Even SA's ~$5 production & transport costs still means an 8.3% increase in price balances a 10% drop in volume.

This has never been a big problem for me. Some clients have strict policies (e.g., only allowing you to work on their servers) while others don't care as much. In some cases, as a freelancer, you only work on a "proof of concept" prototype assuming you have access to their private data. It is their FTEs job to actually train/implement/deploy this prototype using their private data.
> I think it's an over-zealous position from Debian not to redistribute firmware. Even systems that are very strict about licensing, like OpenBSD, redistribute firmware, because they have some common sense.

OTOH I believe it's a position fully aligned with their ethical standpoint. Equating common sense with your personal preference isn't very gracious.

REALLY shitty move.
Depends on the type of company you are trying to build. In the end, it will still going to be hard, but the crisis has pointed out some serious gaps across numerous industries that can be acted on. As a rule of thumb though, if everyone is talking about sector/tech/industry X being the next big thing, you are probably already a few months/years too late.

Reg cohort size, our cohorts are around 80-90 people with founders coming from a diverse set of industries and tech backgrounds. I agree with you though, it is ambitious and we are certainly looking for people who are courages enough to do it.
