It's not too strange. Open source has taken off for a similar reason that news wire services took off in the early 1900s. Most software organizations create isn't the end product, so if you can leverage a community to maintain it, it (hopefully) reduces costs for all maintainers.

Meanwhile, free software is really right to repair for software enforced via copyright instead of (dedicated) legislation. It threatens to reduce the power of the corporations, so they will be generally hostile to it unless their end products are the services that only they can build around it.
Why not? It’s not even an analogy, it’s exactly the same hack applied to a different scenario.

But you can replace your bulbs for less than $100, it would appear due to the housing mechanics, etc you'd have to replace the entire headlight unit if one went out for this particular setup.

Tesla’s lack tons of stuff that’s standard or an option on other high end cars. They need to catch up on things like ventilated and massage seats, HUD, CarPlay, bird view cameras and many many more. They’re effectively simple cars, with powerful computer and drivetrain.

Adding localized and very complex feature is likely very low on their to do list, especially as their RD spending is ridiculously low, and trending downward for last few years.
> because teams of aeronautical engineers designed this plane and did it overall very safely

346 people and their relatives, which crashed, burned and died in two of those brand new planes within 6 month and their relatives probably beg to differ.

The history of this plane and the facts that came out after those accidents do not sound like a "very safe" design process.

Read Dominic Gates' reporting (for which he got a Pulitzer) to inform yourself about some of the nastier aspects of the design of this plane.
There is an easy fix for that: it costs 49 USD to change the battery of an iPhone SE in an Apple Store. Whether it's cheap or expensive is of course a matter of perspective. But an iPhone SE with a new battery is certainly better than most phones you could buy for 49 USD...

Lots of "humanitarian" work in Colombia are CIA-funded fronts for anti-socialist and anti-indigenous violence. For example, see the "aid convoy" that Maduro supposedly burned. In general many nonprofits don't care to look too closely at their donors. Lots of money is floating around, searching for a way to oppose Venezuelan democracy. Colombian ruling elites are eager to cash in on the gravy train, and the disdain they feel toward the poor and indigenous of Venezuela is actually less than that they display toward those groups in their own nation.
These are eye opening results: minimum 2X to almost 4X increase in fine for unattractive people! In a way attractiveness plays out everywhere starting from college admissions to careers to finding mate. We don't want to admit it but then we are fighting against biology and evolution. I guess it doesn't matter what other attributes one has in long run. Evolution doesn't care anything but propagating the best genes which apparently attractiveness is a statistical proxy.

Another irony: Virtually every object of value in modern world is made by scientists and engineers but guess who is million times more worshiped, popular, paid, followed, protected and cared about: actors! Most actors simply act out a scene someone else designed, someone else shot, someone else wrote, someone else directed. None of the behind the scene people matter much or even get fraction of a credit because they are often not as attractive as these puppets to put on the screen. That's humanity for you in its raw form.

Ask HN: Get acquihired or continue bootstrapping 3y+ startup?
This is the third acquihire offer we've received in last 3 months and fourth overall. All the previous ones were easy to decline. But this one is making me think for a number of reasons: (a) It's targeting the same user base. And they already have the data that we need to build & scale our existing products. (b) It has got thousands of customers and the product is a monopoly. (c) Backed by the most trusted VCs & entrepreneurs in the world according to me. (d) Bootstrapping is a constant struggle and it is even more challenging as a solo founder. (e) This startup is not the only way to meet our vision. May be the credibility we gain from here on could make it easier in my next startup. (f) May be it is the push that we needed. So we should accept it.

What makes me rethink: (a) We've a handful of customers and team who will never trust me again if I accept the acquihire. (b) Certainly we're doing something right and it is not the last & best offer. (c) Should I let the team continue to struggle - our best engineers aren't paid at par, they have a mix of options and stocks? (d) Starting up is the most challenging job and then maintaining a momentum. We’ll lose any momentum we’ve gained in last three years. (e) This is also the best phase in last three years because we’ve more clarity and significant runway than ever in the past. (f) Acquihire reduces my near-term pains but I am not sure about long-term.

Please ask me questions so that I can get a direction.

I wonder how many really think that about Facebook. I’m sure a lot, but the exaggeration around techie sites sometimes seems like people believe it.

I’ve never had a problem with Facebook any more than Microsoft in the 90s or Google or Amazon for the past decade+.

I find Twitter and Snapchat worse [at times] personally. Jack and Ev screwed over Noah Glass so egregiously. Jack being the worst of it. Then they attempted to white wash over the history. Jack had a made up story of how he came up with Twitter. The rest have lied for so long about other aspects even though Noah is the one that began the initial proper work of Twitter on his laptop. That sort of personal behavior and to never make any sort of amend for it.

I find that to be worse than anything Facebook or Zuckerberg have done. I always find these sort of personal cruel behavior to be the worst. Related examples are the Snapchat founders screwing over the third, Larry Ellison + Steve Jobs screwing over people including not giving stock to many first employees. Jobs doing it in Pixar and Apple.

Yeah well half the problem with impoverished schools is rampant truancy. It doesn't matter how awesome the school is if the kids don't go (and the parents don't make them go)
I’m confused.

Are we not talking about the psychology of day-to-day users, where they are afraid to tinker too much?

That’s the impression I got when you said “Belief empowers, without that you think, I might break it, and that will be terrible.”

If that’s the case, then I stand by my comment as I’ve seen first-hand the hesitation people have about accidentally breaking a mission-critical spreadsheet.

Now, let’s be clear: I have not said anything about “no code”, as to me there are a lot of compelling arguments both ways in this thread. I am saying that “Excel” is not unbreakable nor does it free the user from fears about breaking something important (from a business perspective, breaking a vital xls document and breaking the Excel application itself are functionally equivalent, even though you and I know that Excel the program can be fixed essentially trivially by the right person with the right tools)
You have been breaking the site guidelines quite badly, and repeatedly. That's not cool. If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here, we'd be grateful.
As someone who has been close to acquisitions of this size, "not upsetting the king" is always a factor - whoever the president is. At least at the companies I've worked at, it basically falls under public relations/political risk. Even if a deal is really profitable, you might kill it if you think you're going to get the gov't breathing down your throat either for legitimate reasons or just because the company you're acquiring is a good whipping boy for the gov't.
In fairness, if people drink this everyday, as some do, it's hardly Coca Cola's fault.

It's quite obvious that obesity is caused by a bad diet. People should watch their diet. The rest is just politics: politicians don't want to blame people and companies don't want to be used as scapegoats.

We also need to accept that the vast majority of people are neither victims nor stupid. People do make choices knowing that they are not good for their health. I think that at least some of the anti-experts trend we see is a reaction against being told what to do on the ground that people cannot decide for themselves.
I remember when I was a kid and going to my dad's office. They had Wolfenstein 3D installed and that would keep me occupied for the rest of the day. I remember my dad coming one occasion and exactly telling me that to make any progress if I was lost or blocked in one of the mazes.
Google would go through a long anti trust because of Youtube too, no? Even if they prevail, it would be a long fought battle that makes them a no go.

Amazon is there though yeah.

Maybe we’ll have Salesforce swoop in and try to merge. Like the wanting to buy Twitter :).

My neighborhood (14 homes) is working towards building a fiber island with wireless backhaul elsewhere. We're the houses right around the Rhus Ridge trailhead. But there are even-closer-to-urbanization neighborhoods without access, e.g., Wildcrest and Wildflower.
Coca Cola has one of the most incredible branding and marketing operations on earth.

I’d suggest doing the tourist trap in Atlanta if you find yourself there. You’ll learn than if you have ever experienced a moment of happiness, it was due to Coke. The idea that the company would find a way to convince people that guzzling corn syrup was not that bad is completely unsurprising.
I like this perspective. It acknowledges that they are equal at least in that they both care about the game and express that by paying attention to all of its detail, even small defects.
There used to be a weight behind statements that are scientific. Most people would trust them without going into debates.

I agree that corporate lobbying and academic corruption has certainly eroded that trust.

Well, I don't expect this is a simple perfect system. It isn't new. I just think it might be better than what most places have currently.

US business has a history of "stock options" and "yearly bonuses". So this isn't new. (I haven't seen it here in Australia as a common thing.)

They still don't get the same salary as you. Unless they do in which case, no real change.

Alternately, if the company is making megabucks to the point where salary becomes insignificant, then I am ok with others being better off too, even the dead weight.

Also, you could argue that with everyone in the company wanting a bigger share, this puts pressure to remove the dead weight. 1 less employee means a bigger share for me. 1 more productive person(as opposed to dead weight) means more for me.

> Not only that, businesses are meant to make money if
> the people who start the business is giving out half
> their money away this system better make 2x the revenue > every single quarter or why would they do it.

This doesn't change the idea of businesses making money. Just who they should be making it for. It doesn't force a bonus every year. It just says that if rentseeking investors get dividends, employees do too.

Do we want a society whereby rich people can buy shares and then seek rent forever, using that rent to buy more shares etc.

Or where the people who do the work, get the rewards?

I understand that floating publicly is used to draw large sums of money for business to do great things. But it is also used as a forever debt, to pay shareholders forevermore for doing nothing more. Under this scheme, those investors would do their sums differently, obviously and it may well come down to the business getting "less for their float action".

But I like the idea of trying not to trample salaried employees to make others rich.(Many startups do in fact operate on stock option basis. I'd just argue the stock options should be equal value, from the CEO to the cleaner.)

Honestly, I'd prefer more than 50% go to employees - I hate "rentseeking" - but lets not go crazy.
HN has many users of Chinese descent living in the West. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves for treating them like this. I'm certainly ashamed.

(Edit: I didn't mean that they should be treated better because they live in the West. Obviously they should be treated better regardless of where they live. I mentioned HN's Chinese users who live in the West because they're an important part of China-related threads, which is not widely understood. Routinely they get accused of being communist shills, etc., when what they're actually doing is trying to bridge the gap between two worlds—an unenviable position as the gap grows. No one is required to agree with their views, but they absolutely should not be abused for this, and the HN users who do abuse them are behaving shamefully.)

However hard we try, it seems impossible to get a large segment of the community to behave any better, and the slurs are getting worse as the geopolitical trend (and associated things like media coverage) continues.

No, I'm not a secret communist supporter or any of the other silly things people come up with about this. Nor do I agree with the GP commenter; I've barely skimmed their posts. I simply want HN users to follow the site guidelines, give each other the benefit of the doubt, and not form xenophobic mobs.

People have literally been hounded off this site by comments like these. Is that the kind of community you all want to be part of? I can't believe it is. It's the default collective outcome, though—not that any of you want that outcome, but it's the group ugliness that posts like this add up to.

There are general guidelines on what food is good for your but there is no universal “good” or “bad” diet.

Before, fats were demonized. Now it’s carbs and sugars. Who knows what “good” diet will constitute in the future.
The same can be said about US companies as well, or not?
Maybe try "N3r" in its place.
Interesting, I was unaware of that. I spent 53 days in Spain in 2016 (which was awesome by the way) that started off with me going directly to the hospital on arrival because a prior case of bronchitis had escalated into severe pneumonia (more severe than I realized). I was hospitalized for just shy of a week and had to pay a 3000 EUR deposit up front to be admitted and receive treatment. I don’t remember the exact amount of my total bill, but I got the bulk of my deposit back in the end.

Maybe they’ve changed the rules since then, but at least my personal experience was the flow was to establish whether I was a Spanish or EU citizen, as I was not I was obligated to pay a sizeable deposit before even being seen for triage. There was certainly no indication any other foreigner would have been treated differently.
It's perfectly reasonable to build a game engine that's possible to build these GUI-specific systems on top of (if you want lazy UI rendering simply don't call the update.

No, I can't. There are no replaceable headlight bulbs on my Toyota either. Just like this Porsche, you replace the entire unit if it goes bad. This is the norm for OEM LED headlamps -- they're considered lifetime parts, not wear items.
I don't think that's particularly fair, actually. When you're bombarded with images of attractive people doing a thing, your brain will naturally associate the two. And that's just the obvious ad tilting that anyone can see and everyone agrees with. You and I got educations (probably) and have spent time intentionally building up defenses to this sort of thing (also probably), but it's definitely on the companies for making what amounts to misleading propaganda. To some extent, at least.

US male adult average height is 5'9" per CDC, for females it's 5'3.6”. hence my statement that 5'6 is nearly as much above average for an adult female in the US as it is below average for a male.
Side note: I just published a brand-new "Redux Essentials" core docs tutorial. It teaches beginners "how to use Redux, the right way", using our latest recommended tools and practices, including Redux Toolkit for writing your Redux code, the React-Redux hooks API for interacting with Redux in your components, and use of single-file "slices" for a given feature's Redux logic. I'd encourage folks to check it out:

https://redux.js.org/tutorials/essentials/part-1-overview-co...

My next step will be to rewrite the existing "bottom-up" tutorial sequence to simplify explanations, remove outdated references, improve the explanation flow, and add more running examples.

I sometimes feel very uncomfortable reading such stories, especially when the person in the story is a legendary mathematician. It is as if my mediocrity is afraid of their excellence.

There's a range of suitable temperatures for your refrigerator. When electricity is cheap, it cools to the low bound, when expensive, it only cools it to the upper bound. Of course, increasing the thermal mass of the refrigerator will improve this.
One of the hard lessons I learned when I was younger was that some (or many, depending on the sample population we're talking about) don't actually have as much agency as you do, or as much agency as they like to pretend. It's a hard lesson, because it rubs up against many of the core values you grow up with in a country like the US - freedom of choice, personal responsibility, etc. So, yeah, people really should watch their diet, but that's only a part of the broader issue.
I think having a message broker in-between the services and some sort of transient database should solve this, in a way.
