Maybe with great management the Amiga could have become something like the Mac, but that's the best hope.

If Microsoft had released Word and a spreadsheet for it perhaps it would have had a chance. The Amiga did get Word Perfect though which may have been a bigger word processor at the time. It had Pro Write as well which was a very good word processor that even had real time spell checking.

The Amiga was such a great machine. But it was probably doomed to be marginal by the time the Amiga 500 came out.

For instance a gpt-3 bot could make a high scoring HN commenter. Surely someone has experimented with that. Any preliminary results?

One competitive advantage of trains is that if they sell more tickets than anticipated, they can (capacity permitting) add an extra car at relatively low cost. An airline has to add another plane or bump passengers. Equally, rail companies can scale more easily to different social distancing guidelines.

Don't feel bad. I was in your situation in the past. Don't give up. I have finally been able to launch a quite successful product (being used by a significant people daily). I plan to apply to YC this September. I don't want to put my product here because I don't want to steal thunders from BaseDash.

The other downside is they aren’t flagged as black owned, when they are.

For example, Yelp has a “Black owned businesses” link right at the top of the first screen of the app. I clicked on it. There is one listed in my city.

My city’s population is about 50% black, and there are way more than a single black owned business nearby.
Not every company, true. But, I've interviewed at least 20 or 30 times over the course of my career, and every one had an onsite loop of at least 4 hours in length. None of hte companies were FAANG, or even close. More than 90% were your typical whiteboard hazing style.
When I read a long time ago I interpreted recirculated air to mean 100%. It seems that old planes had 100% fresh air and modern planes are 50% or so recirculated. Heck, I didn't think even HEPA filters would have been sufficient until I just did some reading, but clearly if as of 2002 a simple cold virus won't transmit appreciably with recirculation, the coronavirus won't either [1].

Hey, post author here. Apologies if it sounded paternalistic, that was definitely not the intention.

I would argue that 40-50 senior people in one place would be rather an exception from the norm, and your company would be quite an outlier on the bell curve. If all of you are not just seniors, but also had first-hand experience participating (or even building) in hiring loops of the large companies, then you would have all the necessary knowledge of why those rituals were created, and why. The point of the blog post was that this is usually not the case, so the imitation is the only option.

Could you elaborate on your hiring loop? Which of the stages is the most effective and brings you the most value?
It's less intrusive than spamming my Google assistant quick actions with an undismissable "black lives matter" button for the last couple weeks. When tapped, it affirms BLM solidarity vow. My phone region wasn't even North America.

More ontopic, wonder if this will be extended to other minorities. Easy way to filter out actually Mexican owned taco shops. Or Japanese owned sushi. What let's go full political, what if I want to avoid Christian owned franchises like Chick-Fil-A. Maybe some of that Blue Vs Yellow division from HK.

"Anti-racist" strategies bewilder me. Am I now supposed to consider the skin color of the business owner before shopping there?

Because I thought making business decisions based on skin color was racist.
Here are the 10 soviet assets named in the soviet cables McCarthy correctly accused of being communists:

Solomon Adler: Official in the US Treasury Department,
Cedric Belfrage: American Office of Strategic Services ,(predecessor to the CIA)
T. A. Bisson: US Army Board of Economic Warfare,
V. Frank Coe: Official at the US Treasury Department,
Lauchlin Currie: Executive assistant to President Roosevelt,
Harold Glasser: Official at the US Treasury Department,
David Karr: Journalist,
Mary Jane Keeney: US Army Board of Economic Warfare,
Leonard mins: American Office of Strategic Services (OSS),
Franz Neumann: Frankfurt school, OSS agent, and State Department official

These individuals knowingly provided intelligence to the USSR or as US government officials directed US policy in ways favorable to the Soviet Union at the direction of the KGB.

They all continued their activity long past 1945, most into and after the McCarthy era.

> Marquis has established friendly relations with T. A Bisson (hereafter Arthur) who has recently left Board of Economic Warfare; [...] Arthur passed to marquis [...] copies of four documents: (a) his own report for BEW with his views on working out a plan for shipment of American troops to China; (b) a report by the Chinese embassy in Washington to its government in China [...] (c) a brief report of April 1934 on a general evaluation of the forces on the sides of the Soviet-German from [...] (d) a report by the American consul in Vladivostok [...]

Venona: Soviet Espionage and the American Response, 1939-1957, page 229.

These people are not just "named", they were passing sensitive government documents to Soviet agents and a lot more.
In times of COVID, however, mail only voting is the best alternative.

And the USPS has informed states that it may take up to 2 weeks to deliver mailed ballots.

What that means is for mail in votes to count (which again, will be more popular considering COVID) on Nov 4th, you will need to mail your vote by Oct 20th to guarantee it reaches assuming USPS is correct in its 2 week estimate.

The current administration is already laying down the foundation for votes that reach after Nov 4, even if they were postmarked before (which I believe is all that is needed) to be rejected. He tweeted today that the votes must be counted by the end of Nov 4 otherwise they would be illegitimate.
I just bought a car battery jump starter, and two years ago, when I was blissfully ignorant of the severity of the counterfeiting problem, I would’ve bought it from Amazon. Instead, I ordered from Home Depot.

I’m still willing to buy from Amazon items that aren’t potential fire hazards.
Great point. I wonder if you use bookmarking to save URLs "just in case"? When you are on mobile, and then return to the website when you have more time for that? Any other use case?

In my use case, it's a matter of organization. But totally get what you say, classifying things into buckets is extra work. I'll consider options to address this but, would adding a topic "later" be a temporary solution to you? Then you can edit bookmarks' topics as you please, but they would initially appear under the same card corresponding to the topic "later".

Thanks for the feedback!

This was my read of the post too, strengthened by the complaint about Wikipedia. There are reasonable thoughts about one of the pitfalls of the subscription model, but the motivating complaint behind the post seems to be "compensating creators is annoying". It's possible there's a method for doing so at scale that's a Pareto improvement over all existing options, but I think it's just as likely that "paying" for things in any manner is going to cause friction. The payment isn't meant to be the pleasant part of the exchange for you; the content is.

Google isn't the first, I believe it was Grubhub that did this earlier and there may have been others I'm not aware of.
I've had mixed experiences. Sometimes they fix stuff quickly or are helpful about service changes or questions. Other times it feels like beating your own hand with a hammer.

The worst was when we last switched phones we traded our old phones in. My new phone arrived and my wife's just...didn't.

It took weeks to make them believe we didn't steal her phone for some reason and they wouldn't give us the photo from the Fedex delivery receipt (in case it just went to one of our neighbors). It turns out that yes, it did go to our neighbor's house right when they had moved in and it took a couple months for them to even get to the package. In the meanwhile we escalated, escalated, escalated, and so on for weeks until somebody finally just shipped my wife another phone.

It could have all been solved in maybe 10 seconds with the delivery photo.

Despite that, our phone bill is almost free with all the rebates and data usage refunds and we've traveled all over the planet with the service and it works fantastically.
the whole point is for us to fight amongst ourselves and to sow division.
It is vexing. We were supposed to progress to the point that a person’s skin color was a matter of complete indifference. Now it is in the forefront of even the most petty and insignificant matters. This is not going to end well.
I've bought several things from Amazon (all electronics) that looked completely legit, but when they failed and I worked with the manufacturer on a warranty claim they turned out to be fakes/counterfeits - very clever ones but identifiable when you knew what to look for.
I wonder what's the ratio of people who genuinely expect to be able to live off their hobbies vs people who don't even get to enjoy a hobby due to The Fear forcing them into "The Hustle" in a world where success and even survival are not defaults?
One thing to consider is that train seats are significantly roomier and more comfortable than airline economy seats. This site[1] lists most high-speed trains having seat pitch of >900mm (or 35in), some reaching 1,000mm (39in). According to [2] most airlines have seat pitch of 31-32 in.

What a bunch of odd and arbitrary statements. Examples: I often use logs older than 7 days for troubleshooting. I rarely troubleshoot only using last minute or hour data. I need aggregation most of the time when troubleshooting. I also treat most runtime environments as cattle so relying on it to keep logs locally would be wrong.

Hey Charlie, thanks for support as always!!!

I really didn't expect this much attention. I will do an update on IndieLog in a bit.
I don't see how Google adding a black-owned business label might encourage a previously non-racist person to now want to 'fight' black people or feel ill will towards black people.
Congratulations on the launch!

Although 'synthesise' has broad meaning, I think organising the bookmarks this way helps to fetch our bookmarks when needed e.g. A need gap - 'I forget my web bookmarks quite often'[1] was posted on my problem validation platform which I think this tool can effectively address.

Did you have the intention of solving that problem when creating this tool? Then I would suggest improving the copy in the home page from 'Synthesise' to something on the lines of -

'Don't forget your bookmarks again, get them back when you need it'.

Also, an address bar integration which brings results from Klobie first could serve the purpose better IMO.

True. And the tragedy is had they actually tried to raise the money to buy all the books they needed, they probably could have kept waitlists to nearly zero and avoided this whole situation.
I didn't see in this article any criticism of cryptocurrency for _allowing anonymous monetary transactions_.

The criticisms that are made are:

1) That cryptocurrency's "entire existence is purely predicated on the appeal as a speculative investment first and not on its efficacy to transmit value".

2) That crypto exchanges are "effectively digital gambling sites, in which unsophisticated investors trade unregulated products on markets that are directly manipulated by exchanges with no oversight".
Thanks! Data import is at the top of the pending features, and plan to work on it within the next week. I'll look into those two sources and see what I can do.
> You can't separate Doubleclick/Ads business of Alphabet into its own company in a good faith anti-trust breakup of the conglomerate

Yes you can.

> most of the other facets would likely tank within 18 months without (specifically, the ones dependent on ad revenue to remain solvent).

Business models don't have a right to exist just because they "work" for the moment.

> You'd have breakup the ads business and give a piece to various resulting companies, otherwise most offshoots wouldn't have a viable positive revenue model to save themselves from immediate financial collapse.

I think there's an argument to be made that anything that "must" exist could be paid for by taxes (and likewise open sourced and publicly owned). However, I honestly don't see much of Google's business model that "must" exist. Not Gmail, not Meet, and certainly not Ads. Possibly Chrome.
It did. I remember this back in 2006, where a customer would ask to look on one of the display computers and I would have to let them know it wasn't going to work.
I'm a big fan of his videos, and he's a really great educator. But he didn't wrote those emulators (and never claimed to) - he ported existing ones.

I don't say that to reduce his contributions (hell, I did my share bit of porting code to more exotic platforms, and a proper port is tons of work), but to give credits to original authors who did most of heavy lifting of writing actual emulators.

According to "Anti-racists", MLK's dream of "judging people by the content of their character" is now a racist dog-whistle.

Not sure when, but eventually the shoe must drop and people realize this so-called "Anti-racism" is an incredibly racist ideology. This is not progress.
100% give Heroku a chance. It’s free to play with and takes care of 90% of that non-app-dev rubbish.
I don't think black America's economic situation is insignificant though. The racial wealth gap is still huge and hasn't changed much since racism was legal. It will take a lot of conscious, directed action in favor of black people to provide economic remedy for slavery/Jim Crow/redlining and other systemic racism.

I didn't do University until late 20s. And it was a C level state school. But darn it, it was the best 3.5 years of the best bang for buck dollars spent. My major was pure math. I loved it. No boss. No office BS. Just me and my homework. I came to love English the subject I sucked at throughout K-12. I'm forever grateful to Judy Newland (if memory serves that's her name) for holding the line on writing. She told me my semester English paper was a total F. Thank god by my 20s I'd matured enough to stop making excuses. For the first time I took the criticism and asked how can I fix it? Five drafts later I got a C and improved from there in time and more classes. I aced literature classes. I still remember laughing out loud during an Enlightenment Lit final about a quote from Voltaire (satire, "Candide"). Folks, second chances are great. I needed it. And when you're ready to grow Harvard may be great but so are many state Universities too. That's why I tell my older son who's in university now that it's more like a mirror. If you're on fire it'll reflect that back to you. And if you're just passing through uni will be a ok Las Vegas weekend at best: in-out-done as there was no long term vision anyway. I'm less and less convinced that human organizations can light kids up. We gotta come lit up and some hard knocks often helps get that fire started.
That is interesting. I have only owned a house for ~7 years, so I likely haven't experienced this cycle. Thanks for the insight.
community-contributed subtitles are an essential part of the appeal of YouTube for me, particularly with non-English videos from small operations who may not have the resources to provide quality transcriptions/translations. I don't think this functionality was as little-used as the support post represents. Clearly more options exist for managing spam than just shutting down the feature altogether.
Out of curiosity, when you're doing a SOC2 compliance review, are your relying on their documentation of security measures, or would you check to see that the documentation matches the security measures that are in place?
You really don’t see how elevating a single race over others might be an issue?
It would cost less starting out compared to your own server, you may only have to pay per function call. Whereas you would have to pay for server space from the start even if no one is using your product.

A framework may be overkill if all you want to do is run a function when something in your database changes. Firebase is a good example of this, you can trigger functions when a document changes.

Easy to deploy, reliable and maintainable.
I'm not, I'm saying the bar is very high.

Physical content like a book has a residual value; you can -- and people do--sell it when you're done. The residual value after ten years is something like 5 bucks perhaps, especially considering a new edition was published that year.

In contrast, patronage is pretty much a total writeoff.
For me, markdown will be a great option. Since it would help for deveolping research or blog notes.
It really sounds like you're agreeing with me in every sense that matters. You just fail to see the downside of the alternative without speculation where someone buys the land for cheap, does something correspondingly low-value with it without regard for its future potential, and then when somebody else finally does want it for a more valuable use we either can't use it that way or have to tear down what the first user built (which is doubly wasteful when it could have simply been built somewhere else in the first place) and start over.

Nothing. Relationships are by definition bidirectional. Being able to have a good relationship with a manager implies that that manager is at least not awful, and most likely also good. The person I refer to would never have delayed starting his new job as long as he did if he didn't have professional respect for his manager.
It doesn't matter to me if they are black-owned or women-led or whatever (and, in order to avoid (possibly unintentional) bias, perhaps it should not be listed by default, unless you specifically look for that information). I should think what matters is the quality of the products/services. Business hours, telephone number, price, etc, are much more important than whether or not those people are black.
It's really inexplicable. Old Reddit was fine, not great, just fine. The new Reddit UI is hideously bad. It was terrible when it launched, it was terrible months later, and it's still terrible now.

I'm honestly at a loss. Is this some galaxy brain "let's make the web experience terrible to force people to native apps" strategy?
Do you have one that's not a counterfeit to recommend? ;)
>They often last for many more years than competitors' products

Apple products are often obsolete in a few years, especially iPads and iPhones. Their entire line of laptops and desktops is now practically obsolete with the move to ARM. Apple products are luxury products for people who can afford to simply throw away a device when Apple decides it's stopping support. I have several Apple devices that still boot up just fine, have capable CPUs inside, but are completely useless because Apple just decided they weren't interested in supporting them anymore.
Isn't this the exact definition of racism ? Imagine if they started putting jewish owned business. It can be both used to promote and discriminate, but in both cases to differenciate people based on skin color. This is absurd.
Thanks! Great points.

My specific use case is doing initial, exploratory web research to work on company, industry and market analysis. This initial phase requires reviewing many sources and identifying the "important bits" that will help structure the main project. I take notes for that, at the bookmark, topic and board (theme) level. I get what you say, the wording of the one-liner maybe doesn't reflect all possible use cases, or even properly describe my own! I'll consider options for this.

The idea of address bar integration is terrific.

Thanks again for the feedback!
I got a pair of Salomon running shoes, from the authenticated seller SALOMON , fulfilled by AMAZON and they looked great but felt just a little off. I put them next to my friends shoes and we found about 10 things of extremely minor differences that contributed to an entirely different fit and on very close inspection much poorer materials and construction. It would have not been possible to see this without putting my fakes from amazon directly next to the name brand. I had no idea! I did all the right things, verified the seller, the fulfiller, the manufacturer, the listing. Amazon only partially refunded as I didn't figure it out until after 30 days. They (Amazon) should be liable for fraud! and I say that as a stock holder and prime member of 10+ years. co-mingled inventory will be the death of them, or it should be if they ever get held accountable, but who knows maybe now too big to fail.

This was full retail price, proper SKU, MFG picture. when I went back to review the order it seems a third party seller was substituted at check out which I could have missed. I went through extreme and deliberate lengths to purchase exactly what I wanted from the manufacture and pay retail prices and still got fooled. I was actively going through mental checklists during the purchasing stage on amazon to avoid counterfeit and didn't succeed. Majorly annoyed.

I have even worked the packing line at amazon. Over Christmas in 2000 I worked the line to pay some school bills, so I can even visualize some of the failure modes. yup.. still not enough.
How can we provide economic remedy for the centuries of economic warfare against Black Americans if any remedy specifically addressed to Black people is considered 'racist'? How else do we close the black-white wealth gap legacy of legal racism in America if we're not allowed to do anything to help Black people specifically out of fear of "reverse racism"?

Can we worry about getting Black America the economic remedies they deserve after being shut out of wealth for centuries before we pretend we're worried about "black supremacy"?

The children’s toys are insane! My wife and I stopped buying anything for our daughter from Amazon when she was a few months old. We kept on getting products that were either counterfeits or cheap knockoffs. The most obvious was a book that had clearly been scanned, reprinted, and had a new label very poorly copied/pasted over the original publisher’s name.
