In your parent comment you mention:

> not much of the strategy content applies to hardware companies

While it's probably a good idea to not blindly follow every single piece of advice (by YC or anyone), saying that not much of the content applies is probably a bit of a stretch. Considering how many successful companies YC has funded in the hard-tech space, I'd be receptive to at least some of their advice / insights.

You also mention:

> you have this de-facto "ship and iterate" model from the SaaS world which just doesn't apply to nontrivial hardware projects.

Again, it may be a good idea to question the advice of "ship and iterate", but saying _it just doesn't apply to nontrivial hardware project_ is again a bit of a stretch. As the above commenter mentions, the success of Cruise is a good counterexample.

Thus, variegated T cell memory to coronaviruses that cause the common cold may underlie at least some of the extensive heterogeneity observed in COVID-19 disease.

I personally parsed the "trad-cath-leninist" as the most doomed communist-fascist" type of an overly insular specific subgroup of uneducated workers who inevitably are immediately purged if either fascists or communists take over whether they assist in a coup or not. There is no good outcome for the fools unless you count "dying in obscurity because the nation was too stable for them to do anything".

Pine tree I could see as Lebanese nationalist and/or Pacific Northwest ecofascists who are similiar groups. The two would get on like a dumpster fire as the trad-caths wouldn't prioritize the environment and would be bigoted towards them. The eco fascists would find them abominable and feel no affinity since they aren't contributing to their central justifying ideal - even though anybody with sense knows the object of fascism is fascism and the eco would inevitably wind up lipservice at best. While tongue in cheek they are perfect useless idiots who would just get a bunch of innocent people killed if they got remotely close to what they wanted.

I'm 29 years old and I've started donating blood regularly in an effort to achieve the same effect. Ideally you'd donate plasma, but there is an important difference between the treatment in the study and donating plasma: in the study, they replace the plasma with saline and albumin. Donating plasma does not replenish your albumin. Albumin is regenerated relatively quickly, however.

IMHO the weakest security link is always the human. Make of that what you will.
But why can Postgres not be promoted to the "application level"? If you combine it with a few extra tools like an auth service and an HTTP API adapter, the need for custom backend code is reduced or removed. Your backend is created declaratively through the schema and policies can be exposed directly to clients.

I have been thinking about this a lot, recently, due to working on a greenfields project where I was allowed to think all the foundational architectural decisions of my past projects through. It's struck me how much of the tedious code I've written in my career has been due to a few features in database systems that were either missing or unknown to me (mainly related to auth and validation). Supabase is exactly the kind of system I have been working towards.

You can use Postgres as a dumb datastore, but you'll be replicating a lot of functionality at the "application level" that Postgres already has. And if you're serious about being able to swap it out for another database, you'll either be writing a lot of abstractions, or foregoing some of its great features (e.g. its JSON datatypes) in order to not become too joined to it.

Creating more work for yourself due to some unknown situation that might arise in the future strikes me as an even more unwise decision than tying yourself to a flexible, well-known, and proven open source project. It seems no different than tying yourself to React or Docker or whatever.
> Not the OP but there may be circumstances where someone is justified believing their continued suffering is a burden to themselves and others.

Yes, they may believe that but they are still not held responsible by anyone to take their own life!

> What authority do you believe is violated by someone making the choice when and how they die?

That's a bigger discussion, I shouldn't have said that to avoid provoking people. But I will say, by the same authority that tells you it's not your right to take other people's lives, even if they want you to kill them. Not yours to give,not yours to take.

> No, exactly. So if adults of sound mind have a right over their own person (despite an involuntary birth) then certainly they have a right over how and if their existence continues.

Legally? Depends on what society finds acceptable I guess. Personally, I can't criticize someone for doing so, but regardless of your sanity the answer to this question depends on the answer to other questions like is your life your own even though you didn't create it and didn't raise yourself? Is the purpose of your existense entirely meaningless or self contained? Or is your life meant to serve a greater purpose? Morally speaking it depends on your view point. Irrespective of how HNers think this is unpopular, the answer depends on your beliefs and I think I made mine clear. Legally, I don't think preventing peoppe from killing themselves would be of any use. The focus should be on offering mental health services not on criminalizing suicidal tendencies.

> This isn't saying much. Not everything is possible to everyone. Rational people are making difficult decisions all the time for this very reason.

I think you and all the downvoters missed my point. What I am saying is, death might appear like the answer and we can debate about that but what a suicidal person desires is to escape from life. You are insisting just because you believe death means ceasing to exist or end of pain, I have to accept that as well. You are saying death equals end of you. For example, few people want money (numbers and paper) they want the ability to buy something, so it I have some money but I am stuck in a supermax prison ,toilet paper means more to me than money I can't spend. Much in the same way, death may or may not allow you to escape life but what you want is not death because you have never experienced it, and even if you have certain beliefs about death you pick death over the present life because of how you have experiences life. If life was better than what you think death entails you would pick life. I am not saying life is better than death, I am saying you hate life and you believe death is an escape, you want an escape from life and you believe that is what death is.

> I can't see you have any alternative. Looking for any discrepancy in either table, you have to compare them both completely. Is there an alternative?

The alternative is sampling. With analytical data often you have to accept that data isn't perfect, and that it doesn't need to be. So if it can be guaranteed that amount of "bad" data is, say, less than 0.001% than it may just be good enough. So cheap checks, like "how many PKs are null" can be done on full tables, anything that requires joins or mass-comaring all values can be done on sampled subsets.

>> ...but creating representative sample of differences is difficult to do with hand-written sql.
> I'm not sure what you mean.

Let's say column "a" has completely different values in both tables. Column "b" has differences in 0.1% of rows. If we limit diff output to 100 rows in a straightforward way, most likely it won't capture differences in column "b" at all. So you'll need to fix column "a" first or remove it from diff, then you'll discover that "b" has problems too, then the issues with some column "c" may become visible. With right sampling you'll get 20 examples for each of "a", "b", "c" and whatever else is different, and can fix ETL in one go. Or maybe it'll help to uncover the root issue below those discrepancies faster. One very well may do without this feature, but it saves time and effort.

Generally that's what the tool does, it saves time and effort. On writing one-off SQL, or building more generic scripts that do codegen, or building a set of scripts that handle edge cases, have a nice UX and can be used by teammates, or putting a GUI on top of that.

> Solutions are roundtripping if the amount of data is not overwhelming, checksumming otherwise

Agree, checksumming or sampling again. Since data is often expected to have small amounts of discrepancies, checksums would need to be done on blocks to see be able to drill down into failed blocks to see which rows caused failures.

> Then you got a software quality problem. It's also not difficult (with joins against primary keys), to efficiently pick up the difference and to make things idempotent - just re-run the script. I've done that too.

Agree, but software quality problems are bound to happen since requirements change, what was once a perfect architecture becomes a pain point. Attempts to fix some piece of the system often requires creating a new one from scratch and running both side-by-side during transitional period. Some companies begin to realize that they don't have enough visibility into their data migration processes, some understand the need for tooling, but can't afford to spend time or resources to build it in-house, especially if they'll need it only during migration. If we can help companies by providing ready to go solution, that's a great thing.

> this leads to very interesting question about upskilling of employees versus the cost of tools

Right, it's a complicated question involving multiple tradeoffs...
Sometimes customers demand security audits as part of sales contracts. If it is a high enough value deal, the company may decide it is in their business best interest to say yes. In that scenario, not listening to the security auditor is not a viable option. You need to keep them onside to keep the customer onside.

Similarly, sometimes in order to sell products to government agencies you need to get security audits done. In that scenario, you have to listen to the security auditor and keep them onside, because if you don't keep them happy your ability to sell the product to the government is impeded.

To solve for this one would need to create metrics around measuring markets and opportunities. I suggest the following three axes:

X. Market size (actual values, divisible into competitors)
Y. Market valence (positive/negative consumer/user/customer/investor perceptions of each of the competitors; e.g., some sort of objectified, normalized product/service/company rating)
Z. Market momentum (vectors of growth/shrinking/stagnation of the market overall, and each of the competitors within it, broken into actual past vs future projected)

Many times a market may not grow not because the market "isn't there," but because all of the existing offerings frankly stink. Imagine movies. If you have 12 terrible science fiction movies in a row, does that mean there's no market for science fiction movies, or does that mean someone finally needs to make a good science fiction movie?

You might also have to define more granular domains. Maybe the market might be for a geographic region, or a vertical or horizontal market sector.

I am not a hardware design expert, but... yes. Everyone makes their choice between speed, power consumption and cost. I attended a event once at Intel where someone told the anecdote that, "If someone comes to me and says, gee, I'd like a chip that runs faster, consumes less power and is cheaper to make I tell them 'you are overpaid for whatever it is that you do'".

The technology jump is of course the thing that allows you to "have it all" - until it doesn't. So it's clear that the optimization of Intel's 14nm++++++ is better for speed right now than anything they have at 10nm, which is better for density and power consumption. It used to be that the shrinks were unambiguously better but we've entered a strange new world.

Honestly, from the design perspective, I'm a enthusiastic spectator - to the extent I have insider knowledge it's out of date, poorly understood and not shareable in any case.

Microarchitecture is still very important - a better uarch and get you big effects without process changes. The last unambigiously successful one of these was Broadwell to Skylake. I think it will be fascinating to see the backport of Sunny Cove to 14nm ("Rocket Lake") as the difference between Rocket and Comet Lakes will give us a great natural experiment in how much microarchitecture changes matter without the usual distractions of process changes.

That used to be the "tick" in "tick/tock" but the uarch change is much bigger than usual and the process changes from Comet to Rocket will (I think) be quite small.

Gibbons v Ogden was about New York's granting of a monopoly on all steamboat services within New York, and the ruling held that "Commerce among the States, cannot stop at the external boundary line of each State, but may be introduced into the interior"--in other words, that the right to regulate interstate commerce necessarily intrudes on the right to regulate intrastrate commerce to some degree.

Wickard v Filburn held that the Commerce Clause extends to regulating the growing of wheat for personal consumption, that involved no commercial transactions whatsoever.

That part is not actually true. Any light will obscure the stars; if you want to compare different colors, it's the middle of the spectrum that contributes most, but the difference is small.

As an amateur astronomer, the LED lights are a big problem because their light pollution is hard to filter out. Sodium is easy, it's nearly monochromatic, so a simple filter will remove most of it. Mercury is not super-hard, the spectrum is not very broad and it's pretty uneven. But LEDs have a broad, even spectrum, which is impossible to filter out.
