Small restaurants have trouble surviving in the US because of the sheer cost of trying an experiment, or sustaining even a small kitchen. There are just so many regulatory (local, really badly managed, even corrupt) hurdles, and investments required. It practically incentivizes restaurants to be big corporations (and sell liquor) in order to survive.

If you look at places that have less regulation (or governments which have made this a more conscious priority) or the rent/land ownership structure is different, there are tons of little mom-pop restaurants that can survive situations like this. I'm all for regulation -- when necessary -- but even I can see that local licensing (as Obama administration acknowledged) is hindering affordability of industries where regulation has come to serve only local interests.

Look to Southeast Asia, even some parts of Europe. Hole in the wall restaurants can make it, because rent is cheap, they don't have city inspectors coming to ding you on fire supression equipment that is 2 inches out of spec. (Also, they don't have waiters and hosts other than the owners) There are food centers set up to foster small restaurants all located together in a high demand area, where the infrastructure is shared and standardized. In Italy, Spain -- restaurants run for generations in corners of small apartment blocks and aren't in fear of getting evicted for a chain.

If we want our cities to look like and cultivate a certain desireable feature, we need to put active work into fixing the things that disincentivize it in small daily doses. Otherwise it's crappy Panera Breads for everyone.
> This is also why Snecko Eye (the relic that gives +2 draw every turn and randomizes card cost) is arguably the best boss relic. Even if you only get to play one 3 cost card, it's more likely to be the best card in your deck.

I can't agree with this. Snecko Eye is very strong, but playing a 3-cost card will cripple you. It's strong because you draw a lot of cheap cards -- the lesson of Snecko Eye is that playing several cards is better than playing one card, even if the cards you got to play were chosen randomly.
Regardless of the react aspect, Adobe could use some lessons on usability fundamentals. This design system's use of pervasive fade animations and low contrast are rather upsetting.
Hello! I'm Keyan and I'm building https://gitern.com

Perhaps I'm an odd duck (I am) but I think current git hosts are no longer meant for hackers and I really wanted a git host that is and that's why I'm building gitern.

Gitern is just getting started and only has essential features today but we already have a few differentiators:
- all auth is done with ssh keys (no password or email required)
- arbitrary repository paths allowing for (1) familiar namespacing and (2) access control (eventually)
- a cli-first ui
- private repos are default

I think better tools make for better hackers and I think git hosts can be a lot better.

I'll be in the comments if anyone wants to ask questions or scold me or something :). Very very open to feedback!

Cheers everyone
From the study (emphasis mine):

>Many sellers currently sell (or previously sold) their goods through brick-and-mortar stores and marketplaces. We find that sellers generally earn a substantially lower share of total revenue from the distribution through brick-and-mortar stores and marketplaces than through digital marketplaces such as the Apple App Store.

What percentage of developers on the App store also sell through brick and mortar? I can only think of Microsoft and AAA game developers off the top of my head.

I'd hazard to guess it's a fraction of a single percentage point (in number of developers, not sales). It's certainly not "many". This is a perfect example of using weasel words [0] instead of making an actual claim.

> If you use the SRD to find, test, validate, verify, or confirm a vulnerability, you must promptly report it to Apple and, if the bug is in third-party code, to the appropriate third party.

I mean, if I find a bug I might report it, but I know people who work on jailbreaks and stuff–if they tell me something will I have to promptly report it? What if I find something on a non-SRD device? If I ever hypothetically "write a jailbreak", will Apple come after me even if I say I didn't use that device for it? I can get 90% of the benefit from using a device with a bootroom exploit, with none of the restrictions here…

As one who bootstrapped, took that risk, and lost ... everything ... I've been talking passively about this for a while.

I speak with startups who have a product that is poorly differentiated, me-too like, that think they are going to take over the world. The reality, the vicious Darwinian reality, is that you and your team have to bust your collective rear-ends. And get lucky.

Really, I hate to deflate many many bubbles, but being at the right place at the right time is often the deciding factor for success or failure. IMO moreso than the product, the product market fit, etc. You have to be seen as the sole provider of something the people deem important. Even if this isn't really true. You need influencers to drive carefully staged hype, and then you need to be able to convert small victories into evidence the hype is real.

This is very ... very hard for bootstrapped companies, operating on shoestring budgets at best.

The greatest lie ever told to entrepreneurs like me is "build a better mousetrap and the world will beat a path to your door." There is soooo much more than that. And the cost to you, financially, mentally, physically, will be huge. Not can be. Will be.

If you are lucky, you will have a reasonable exit. Most of the time that doesn't happen.
> In HAL, future Aircraft/Helicopter productions were halted after the Rafael deal was signed up with Jr. Ambani's Reliance. But when the whistleblower letter from PMO hit the roof, supreme court was involved, some HAL old projects were given permission to continue to not raise suspicion. But still, many in HAL beleive it's done for and only companies in nexus with BJP with no prior experience will manufacture military Aircraft in the future(This was before the China fiasco).

The Rafale deal is not even about manufacturing fighter jets. Not sure from where such anecdotes come from.

You're ignoring that Sweden implemented mostly the same social distancing measures that everyone else has. That's why their spread slowed down. No official nationwide lockdown does not mean the virus was unchecked. Besides, viral spread is not a direct function of government policy. In all likelihood, Swedish people saw their numbers going off the charts and started taking it more seriously and being more careful in their daily lives.

> A lot of people will disagree with you on principle (they view internet access as a "right" rather than a privilege)

Well, sure. But that's why the concept of "criminalizing" is key. Criminal behavior curtails your rights. It's on this premise that the concept of prisons is legal and makes sense.

IMO rather than forbid internet access, an idea to explore is treating the internet as some sort of public area with similar jurisdiction. Thus, if you send an unsolicited dick pic it'd qualify as indecent exposure which is punishable by law.

I think this makes more sense because regulating internet access is hard. You can get public wifi pretty much at any airport or coffee-shop. What doesn't quite make sense is that showing your dick to someone without them wanting to see it can get you a fine or even jail time if you do it in person, but in a photo, video or call online is not punishable.
In my view, the two college topics everyone should take is Physics and Constitutional Law (or equivalent in another country). Both will literally radically change how you look at the world, and provide a foundational basis for conversation in nearly any field.

Interesting, I was of the other side. I often had space battles with the space sets (White vs Blue) as well as my pirates sets (often colored blue or red based on their sails).
Both sets came with weapons of sorts with pirates having over guns, cannons, etc. But I also built giant dinosaurs, volcanos, and everything else. I was a kid and I was playing.

As an adult I build giant battle scense from Star wars. Recently I build a Pirate combat moc with the re-released Pirate bay set (one assembled as the boat, the other as the cove).

None of these have made me more or less violent, just as I assume you playing with GI Joe didn't you. Playing with things is a healthy way for the mind to work through right and wrong, to conceptualize thoughts in your mind. I would argue repression of these behaviors is far worse.

Lego has never made modern war items, I totally get that and am fine by it. They do however make toys that allow you to play out violence. Jurasic Park, Marvel, DC, Star Wars, hell even Minecraft, all have components of violence. I don't believe in the slightest that any child playing with these toys is predisposed to turn out violent. Just as I wouldn't expect a kid playing with a VTOL craft too.

I would argue part of our problem over the past 15 years has been the result of too much limitation of how we raise children and allow them to interact with the world around them. It's why every thing is blown into a huge issue, because to them it is, when the reality of it is that it just isn't.

I will say being of similar ages, our experiences may have been different than the more younger HN crowd, but I'm glad you had legos and enjoyed them the way you saw fit. I would imagine the creativity and ability to be rewarded for solving challenges played a great impact on you.

Maybe i'm misplaced in thinking that proper parenting is a key to everything. Besides, I would argue kids are exposed to way harsher or riskier things on television / movies / the internet, than they ever would be by building the Osprey.
OTOH, a trip to the moon requires about 10x more fuel than going to L2. Although I suppose a moon telescope could synergize nicely with other lunar activities

Thank you for the feedback. For the Washington Post article, it looks like they are silently paywalling the majority of the article. Opening it in incognito mode gave me the full article (several pages, not just a few sentences).
I have a hard time buying into this idea. I do agree that traditional college is prohibitively expensive. But it's also a requirement of most companies that you have a degree. That's because it's hard to prove to an employer that you have the skill set they need and a diploma is good proxy.

I believe the process is decentralized but not the results which are easily manipulated, every time a election happens anywhere in the world we hear that it was not correctly conducted, cheating happened and so on. Just look at the recent Russian interference everyone is talking about.

If we believe in free speech and that everyone has the right to do what they want, why should we be afraid of being bullied about who we voted for? I would say more damage is done by hiding your vote, further I believe this is the real problem and hiding our votes is not the correct solution for it.

True, but if I had a counter that increments the minute I vote then atleast I as an individual can know it is correct and it can be easily shown everywhere else too.
I appreciate your response. Unfortunately, I don't feel you have presented a convincing argument against its established classification as an OO design pattern for the last several decades.

Very few forums had even a fraction of the number of members as Facebook has users and the amount of content is increased again. Also the type of content they're required to moderate has changed most forums before facebook were largely text and video is a big part of facebook.

I don't think it's rent seeking by definition to modernize a product and/or make it more accessible to people. The fact of the matter is that there is a tremendous backlog of legacy industry/infrastructure that needs to be modernized. There is plenty of opportunity in doing so to democratize access to services that are currently inaccessible to most, which is more or less the opposite of rent seeking.

You can also just not do a shitty job of modernizing an old thing, and end up creating a product like Netflix that front-end devs fawn over, learn from, and emulate. It doesn't have to be uninteresting.

> But that's not what modern advertising is. Let's look at a real car ad.

Here's an example of a current automotive special, these are what dominate Google and FB ads (at least with the 150 automotive clients we work with) and there's typically some copy with it soliciting the price and some incentives. If someone's seen an ad there's dynamic ads which can be tailored to that audience. https://pictures.dealer.com/h/huntingtonbeachchryslerjeepcll...

> It would also save time if they just ordered for you. You'd save the time, they'd get to sell you their item with the highest profit margin. Win-win?

For example, the local gourmet Taco shop (cafe to the restaurant) normally has tacos for about $3.99 and on Tuesday they're $1.99, advertised on special with a drink, I know the tacos are good and that's a great deal. Their highest margin item is the auga fresca (which they sweeten with agave), they charge about $4.50 for that. Thanks for taking the time to let me see things from another perspective.
No-code, real time Single Customer View launched
From the article: "I have sprayed PVA before in college, but I didn’t have much success then either."

I have had good success with PVA, there is a trick to it. The initial sprayed coat should be applied very light and thin, such that the PVA is very nearly dry when it reaches the surface. Allow this coat to dry completely, then apply heavier second coat to fully wet out the surface. The thin, dry tack coat anchors the PVA and helps it to wet the surface, rather than beading up on your polished and waxed mold surface.

Brush application is very difficult. A sponge brush is a good choice for PVA application, dab rather than using a sweeping motion. You'll want to do this in a single coat, any attempt to brush or dab a second coat will cause the first coat to wrinkle, roll and/or rope.

Edit for clarification.

RDD works because most of the people really don’t understand what they don’t understand without a direct linear thinking about the problem. They have this blob in their head that creates an illusion of knowledge.

I have the same thing. Every time I start thinking “big” I need to consciously stop myself and ask “what do you not know?”/“what needs to be measured?” Instead of continuing making assumptions.

You don’t need to speak to a duck to do that though. Speech has got nothing to do with your ego/laziness that makes you believe there’s nothing to be done and everything can be solved by thinking.
This is all valid and a good point. An interesting observation to make is that all of these time-savers relate to paying someone else to maintain a possession of yours (house, car, lawn). In this sense, minimalism saves time too (no possessions = no time spent maintaining them). It also saves money (from buying the possessions in the first place and paying for their maintenance thereafter). So then the question is are there other ways you can use money to get more time? Good argument for better healthcare all else equal, but yes, the larger point still stands.

Maybe just go for a PinePhone instead? [1] I mean, Linux GUIs aren't fully mobile and touchscreen friendly yet, but it's getting there real quick. I mean, they started in November 2019.

In my opinion the PinePhone is the most promising device, as all upstream projects use it as an official developer device and upstream linux has integrated support.

That perspective makes sense, but I think it's also worth considering that it is likely that not all of those YC founders would have been accepted if batches were smaller. You're totally right that per founder, YC was more valuable when batches were small, but I think it's less clear whether the aggregate value is higher.

The game as originally described already forced exactly 5 draws, so that's not an issue. If you're forcing draws, you can force some good draws and some bad draws.

You can solve the "players know what's coming" problem easily, and some games do ("before you begin, take three disasters and two windfalls and shuffle them together"), but that adds a large logistics overhead that may not be worth it.
The deal is for two things, money and distribution. It's possible that people are choosing to put something behind the paywall for distribution. But I agree that's unlikely in Netflix's case. But I'm 100% certain that the Netflix is the one who put it behind the paywall by having that option checked at the time of publication.

> Very few professors I know are happy about this whole situation.

Exactly this. It is not the same experience being in the same class and teaching. All the energy that could have gone into that is now spent twiddling with gadgets. There is no coordinated 'course production system' in many environments. So teachers have to improvise and they are ending up on different ecosystems. Many of them are now learning to twiddle cameras instead of helping out students. I think many universities have to take a 'gap year' to bring in companies to help them reorg across departments.

I remember talking to an FBI agent who had to watch a lot of terrible stuff. He said that at first it was very distressing and sickening, but after awhile he became desensitized to it and could eat lunch with no issues while continuing to watch it. I wonder if some people have the psychological profile that allows them to become desensitized while other people never can. Though, it probably isn't good that people have to become desensitized.
You do not have absolute certainty that every old cached version of a file you have published has been purged by every third party cache, no. But the vast, _vast_ majority do get purged very quickly.

Zero dispute with that characterisation from me. But it's how things already operate in the real world.

For a great many people the flexibility to quickly push up changes is a feature, not a bug.
