> At 85, the libertarian tycoon who spent decades funding conservative causes says he wants a final act building bridges across political divides

Isn't that what all the republicans are saying now that their presidential candidate has lost? Now that they've lost a modicum of power, now is the time for partisanship and teamwork? Where was this spirit of cooperation before?

This seems like a good way to spend money on his interests, while pretending he's building bridges, and blaming the other side when anything goes wrong.
I have a contrarian view on this. I believe that China is heading to an economic collapse during this decade.

The Chinese economy is effectively a huge bubble fed by monetary stimulus, and it doesn't seem to be sustaining its historical growth since the 2010's -- although nobody really knows what's going on there, given that the CCP discloses information that favors whatever narrative they want. In any case, it may quite well happen that Covid has been accelerating the Chinese economy's demise.

The CCP is very aware that the country is in trouble, and this is evidenced on how bellicose they're getting in the last few years, as a matter of desperation.

On the top of that, the Chinese population is increasingly becoming aware of the corruption in its government. The number of conflicts between the population and the CCP has progressively been escalating.
I genuinely wonder if Taiwan can claim to be part of this agreement? Claiming so would implicitly acknowledge they are China, which they would be unwilling to do I think.

- https://nomadnest.org an alternative to Couchsurfing

- https://coffeelist.co - a coffee community

- https://nomadasdigitales.com - a digital nomads community in Spanish.

- https://lanzame.net - a Product Hunt in Spanish.

- https://classline.io - a SaaS for teachers to simply communicate with students over email, this is using the technology that I created for nomadmail.

for one person this is just too much to get it right in one year I guess. How much time can one really spend to deeply understand customers and their wants/needs?

Apart from that - answering the classical questions like what problem does it solve? why now? etc. points me to a lot of issues with copy-solutions, especially some of these ones during a pandemic.

I spent three years driving 54,000 miles around Africa. [1]

At 30 million square km, it's more than 3 times bigger than the US (which is 9.8 million square km including Alaska)

This gives a brilliant visualization of how enormous it truly is. All of the US, China, India and a good bit of Europe fit inside it.

Actually, I think his comment was a spot on:

This has been my impression as well. The Roma seem to first identify themselves as part of their community and only then, part of the common folk in the country they reside in. Many also follow some internal social group laws that are often totally illegal, e.g., bride market.

To answer your question, I believe there’s a strong mismatch in culture and I do not see a way to solve this problem with any possible social or state actions.

The problem, as it seems, will solve itself in the long term as the Roma population has a greater positive net increase compared to the non-Roma population in Eastern Europe. It seems in some decades from now, Eastern Europe will mostly be Roma populated. Is that good or bad, I honestly don’t know.

Stop blaming the patient for the drugs problem. I don't like taking medications in general. I had heard that statins do lower cholesterol, but that studies (right or wrong) showed no decrease in mortality so why bother. That's it. I was actually pleased with the red yeast results - the lower cholesterol would get doctors off my back and the reduced triglycerides was IMHO a very good thing! But yeah speculate about chance, or my subconscious remembering something I didn't care about if I ever did hear it.

This is straight up some jackass trying to use a cute term - nocebo - to deflect blame for side effects onto patients. That's a thing too.

How many reports should a manager have? – Range
I think this is a fascinating question, as we want to optimize for autonomy and impact while making sure we create meaningful management - a sustainable structure where X IC + 1 M > X+1 IC. I tend to believe that a manager should have at least 5 reports (and up 8 or so), as it creates enough room to build an independent team around a problem domain, formed with different expertise (puzzle vs. replacements), working to solve a solution from A to Z. Great read from Daniel Pupius that would make you think about your organizational structure.
There are plenty of very poor people and groups in Europe. Look at Ukraine, for example: majority of its population lives under what in the US would count as harsh poverty. Average wage outside of Kiev is around $2500 a year (a year, not a month), and even if you adjust it for purchasing power, it still buys you less than $10k does in US. And that’s average: most people survive on less than that, some even on half that.

However, crime in Ukraine is lower than in US, and it’s significantly lower than in US cities. While its infrastructure’s state reflects the income levels, it’s not atrocious, and it’s certainly better than what US would end up with if it was only spending figures comparable to Ukraine. Certainly, you don’t have rotting garbage piling up everywhere on the sides of the street, like in the OP photos.

It’s not poverty that results in what happens in Gypsy ghettos. It’s the culture.

> Thirdly, the scale of stuff you are talking about is miniscule

> If I didn't succeed, I would have lost access to the developed world FOREVER

What? I'm British; before HN I'd never heard of a 'green card'. Maybe it's a policy that the USA won't let you in if you walk away from one once; maybe Canada cares about that too.

But I assure you, the majority of the 'developed world' (a) doesn't give a shit about; and (b) isn't equipped to take into consideration, American 'green cards'.
A lot of people within these comments are saying crazy things like "your issue doesn't seem to be anything other than social anxiety" and talking about people's startup suitability as if what is important is having the right personality trait. Others talk about how he "[learnt] a valuable lesson" or act like he is only a few more failures away from a successful startup. It's condescending and misguided.

I think he's the only one giving worthwhile advice here. You're very unlikely to succeed at bootstrapping a startup and people often don't realise this or act like through perseverance they will definitely succeed. He's lucky to have realised that he had other things in his life he cared about more after only a year.

Many people want a family or want to buy a house. Others want to enjoy their 20s (or 30s for that matter). Others want to put money into investments or a pension for their old age. You could sacrifice all of these things chasing a startup dream and end up with nothing. There is a high likelihood of this. Unless you believe you've very different odds or a much lower cost (e.g. an investor) you probably shouldn't do it.
What a big Big Sur-prise!

It's disturbing to see an OS update seemingly do something with the BIOS to render the machine completely inoperable. I wonder if the EFI firmware on Macs is just as fragile as some PCs, and something like this happened: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11008449

If that was what happened, and you were living in a place like Shenzhen, there's a chance you could simply go to one of the many repair shops around and have the BIOS reflashed in a few minutes while you wait, for <$10USD, and be back to working again.

Of course, Apple is heavily anti-right-to-repair and this might not even be an option in the future... and naturally, the reasons they give are "for security" -- securing their profits, that is.

The other is the overall "opaqueness" of Apple products, which reminds me of this classic Douglas Adams quote: "The major difference between a thing that might go wrong and a thing that cannot possibly go wrong is that when a thing that cannot possibly go wrong goes wrong it usually turns out to be impossible to get at or repair."

They do. China now has a consumer market (measured through retail sales volume) that is just a bit larger than the USA. In 2019, China had apx $6.4T in retail sales vs the US at $6.0T. Retail sales for 2020 are expected to be flat in China and down sharply in the USA. That's right, the largest consumer nation in the world is now China.

The Chinese certainly don't consume as much per person as Americans... but they probably wish they could.

My response was that the implied place for business logic in the article (the layer behind the “thin backend”) is pretty clear, and that the response above mine seemed to suggest that the “somewhere” a business logic belongs is the “backend”, which at least using the article’s definitions and delineations that’s the worst place to put it.

> as immigrants, we always get ‘where are you from originally’.

That question in the US usually means either 1) your accent is noticeably not American, or 2) you or your ancestors didn't come to the US from Europe or via the African diaspora.

Native Americans get asked that question. Fourth-generation Chinese-Americans get asked that question. Puerto Ricans are asked that question. But a white friend of mine, born in the US to English parents, with no noticeable non-US accent, doesn't get asked that question.

So "where are you from originally" comes across not about "immigrant" but about being "different" and even with an implication of being a second-class citizen. See for example the opinions given at https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2017/08/opinion/where-im... . Quoting Samantha Geovjian Clarke, born in the US, raised in Portland, Oregon:

> Sometimes I think they feel like it's more polite to ask ambiguously "where are you from?" or "what are you?" because they're afraid to say race, ethnicity, heritage or nationality – lots of white people don't even know the difference. But they end up being hurtful and displaying deep-seated biases about race by implying I'm not really from America if I'm brown, even though I was born here, or worse, implying that I'm not human because I'm brown (with the "what are you?" question).

If the question "where are you from originally" and variants are interpreted by many as a sign of intolerance, and not simply one of curiosity - which it surely is for some! - then perhaps it's not a particularly effective counter-example?

If you want to dig down deeper to get to the root of this specific issue, here are some resources which talk about it: "Everyday Racism: ‘Where Are You Really From?’" at https://theglobepost.com/2017/08 , /10/everyday-racism/ ; "Is It Racist to Ask People Where They're From?" at https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2014/07/qu... ; and an essay more focused on examples of when that question is asked with racist overtones, "“Where Are You From?” Racial Microaggressions" at https://othersociologist.com/2017/07/15/where-are-you-from-r... .
Your mental model of China as a pure producer who undercuts everyone else just isn't accurate. Many of the countries in this deal actually have a trade surplus with China, meaning that they're exporting to China more than China is exporting to them.

I assume this is working under the presumption that we get rid of the voting software that already exists? This is a big part of OP's question, but I'll entertain it.

You have to look at the 2000 election[0] where there was a switch to digital means. I don't have exact numbers, but I am under the impression that these machines are easier to use and are less error prone than the previous punch card methods. Your digital machines can also print you a receipt. So "why have a (digital) voting machine at all" is because it is easier and less error prone. Having election results going to the Supreme Court is a pretty big deal and should be avoided.

This post by Matt Holford made me think a lot of about group dynamics in technical meetings. I think that what often helps to create a safe environment is asking questions around confidence level, understanding alternative cost, and data that could prove the opposite. For example, asking "if we are wrong, how will we know?" could generate a discussion around what to measure and how can we build confidence in the current path.

Well, the idea of an energy source that never fails, is abundant and reliable has some allure. Solar and wind seem capricious in comparison.

Nevertheless, nuclear has some big issues: try to switch to it now and it will take decades for the power plants to be build. Expensive as well and leaves a lot of toxic and radioactive waste.

I agree with Alito on his "the state treated houses of worship less favorably than it did casinos" point, and I don't think it's anti-science to say that.

To quote NYT: "Casinos were limited to 50 percent of their fire-code capacities, while houses of worship were subject to a flat 50-person limit."

It seems reasonable to me that both should be limited to a 50-person limit, or perhaps a people-per-area limit (although I do understand that Churches are higher risk because singing spreads the virus much more than silently sitting at a slot machine).

Sales doesn't suit everyone (most people aren't in sales). Here's an alternative I used - though for a product not as an "indie hacker", so maybe not applicable.

- It took a bit more than a year.

- Meanwhile count users, not revenue. (need a free version)

- Marketing, not "sales". Your product does a useful thing, for people with some need. Create a "pitch" - a short, memorable description of the problem and your solution. The idea is word of mouth: people repeat your pitch to someone who needs it, like a virus. (A meme, by Dawkins' original definition). Free sales and advertising.

- Focus on the product, not yourself. Like Feynmann saying his nerves disappear when focussed on the thing he's talking about (not him). Avoids self-consciousness.

Less efficient than sales and advertising, but a way to make money without them.

How much do you think the 1GB and processing actually cost? 1GB is surely less than a dollar, and the processing could either be special-cased or would not be more than $5/month for the duration until they get proper large-file support.

Meanwhile, the client's first comment on "surely 1.1gb" reads to me as saying "why are you wasting my time?", and Drew's response seemed to say "this is not an isolated incident, this is just how I operate", to which the "I've canceled my account because this is bullshit" is IMO entirely appropriate.

Yeah it makes more sense to have a digital tabulation, paper receipts, and a paper count later. You can also add in independent analysis by counting random subsets to do quick verification. Digital doesn't mean getting rid of paper ballots. And people are confusing experts advice of not doing "online voting" with "digital voting".

2045 - EV infrastructure works for all drivers.

Also I was talking about conversion because it isn't like the ICE infrastructure is going to persist in perpetuity. That real estate can be converted over to public EV chargers as the ratio of cars on the road change. Right now Tesla's fastest chargers can do an 80% charge in less than 30 minutes. If the industry is able to cut that in half over the next 20 years, recharging an EV isn't really going to be any less practical than refueling an ICE vehicle. We aren't going to need a dedicated parking space with a dedicated charger for every car by 2030.

Re: completely anonymous donations, you mean, like Bitcoin? Generally any legitimate business has to report where it’s money came from - even if just for tax purposes - otherwise it’s a whole new crime.
