While there are issues within Python side, I think it is quite unfair to use numpy as an example.

My reasoning is that the numpy project is meant for scientific and prototyping purposes, but many times people are using it as an shortcut and include the whole thing into their project.

That being said, the quality in these packages does vary depending on who developed them. But I think this is a problem that exists with all languages where publishing packages is relatively straightforward.
I love your European apostrophes!
> An issue I have with this is that one reason my co-founder wants to split is that they don't really want the pressure of running a startup.

I’m confused. If they don’t want the pressure of running a startup, why isn’t the co-founder leaving, instead of trying to force you out and remain in charge?
In the US I felt it with the opposite: not finishing my drink. When you're young, you'll finish whatever drink is in front of you because alcohol is expensive and you don't want it to go to waste, but I remember the first time I didn't finish a beer and realizing that that was perfectly reasonable (and arguably, the more mature thing to do).
I learned to use computers to automate things instead of having to talk to people to get them to do menial tasks for me!

More seriously, some good suggestions there that aren't too obvious, like hiring article authors as consultants instead of googling for professionals.
I may have had my differences with the HN mods, but this place is NOT filled with trolls. If anything, it is quite troll free.
If you automated the on-boarding process to Baremetrics, you sure as hell can automate the un-boarding process.

Regardless, I don’t get why anyone uses Baremetrics, your dashboard is slow as shit and looks like your customer service is equally shit.
I kind of don't get people discerning things into "enterprise," and not grades.

All mass market electronics today
is made of common list of chipsets for a device.

There is no way to change fundamental limits of hardware being used. So, the best thing to look at is the chipset, and its specs.

The best example of this is the scam called "enterprise servers" whose only distinction from no-name OEM ones is that "enterprise server" name, and 3-4 times bigger price. They are all made of sometimes 1-to-1 identical motherboards, chassis, and other components.
Whenever the high crime rates in the 70s-90s is brought up I like to remind folks this was likely an aberration with a specific environmental cause (lead), rather than representative of human nature.

This [1] is an eye-opening roundup of ~25 major studies that support the lead-crime hypothesis, including comparisons across countries & cultures. The evidence is pretty overwhelming and certainly changed my perspective on human nature, which for me had previously been influenced by both growing up around the violence in CA in the 80s-90s and the media culture that depicted and sensationalized it.

If you walk away from this thinking 'oh, humans are a lot less violent than I thought they were', you might find other beliefs built on top of that assumption also follow. These types of perspective shifts in life are rare, and very powerful.

Right, so this is the new owner running things their way. I just don't understand what they hope to gain from a situation like this. It's obviously customer-hostile behaviour, to the point where there are laws prohibiting similar actions in various places as others have mentioned. And look at how fast and universally negative the reaction has already been on the original Twitter comments and now on HN, even though it's night in the West. Word is surely going to get around tomorrow morning, and it's hard to believe the discussion will be any more favourable to Baremetrics then. How do those new owners imagine digging their heels in like this can ever end well for them?

Fascinating — have considered something similar. How are you dealing with the difficulties of core load balancing and ecmp that wg’s information hiding create?
I think a federal consumer protection law here would be good - something along the lines that it needs to be possible to cancel an account using the same communications method you used to create the account. If you made an account with a web form, you can cancel with a web form. If you had to call to set it up, its reasonable to have to call to un-set it up. But you should never need to call when you've set it up over the web (except in exceptional circumstances).

Some areas have something along these lines, but not many in the grand scheme of things.

Also maybe something about notifications of pending recurring charges. Those two tactics are pure slime from my perspective.
"With no prior warning" is a tough one. Pit Bull Terriers and other bully-type dogs are known to have high prey drives, and you can't really be surprised if one goes after a cat or small dog. I'm pretty tired of both the people who blame the dogs for everything and the people who are trying to convince the world that bully breed dogs are great beginner- or family-friendly pets. Certain dogs have certain traits that you can't train out of them. I love hamsters and rabbits, but I'm not ever going to get one as a pet because my rat terrier has an extremely high prey drive. It's just stupid to put any animal in that situation.
Gates, Zuckerberg, Bezos, and Musk were all in the top 1% before they started their companies. Jobs's family was middle class, but well off enough to own a house with an empty garage and enough money to get him started. They also fed, housed, and clothed him while he started his company.

If you could book your doctor’s appointment via Twitter, but couldn’t cancel, I’d sure as hell be angry about it.
I've had a very similar experience with Fido Solutions a few years ago.

When I eventually gave up and called, the representative tried to convince me not to cancel by describing the various scenarios in which emergencies could happen (including my family getting hurt) and I wouldn't be reachable without the phone plan.
I think the performance images would be a lot more clear if they were on the same scale, as it stands it was unclear what was happening with, e.g. the disk write image until i zoomed into the axes.
What a condescending response. This could be a case study in how not to handle a crisis.

Hey dude, you can rest easy! I promise that no "real business" I'm involved with will ever use Baremetrics while you're running it.
Not just in the US. Also in Europe and most of the developed world. Violence peaked in 80's - 90s and then started to decrease dramatically.

Lead–crime connection is the strongest explanation. Past lead exposure functions as a predictor for criminal activity. Crime starts to drop in every country after the use of leaded gasoline is forbidden.

No I'm not sure it's worth arguing someone on the internet when there is no good evidence documented either way. I think better reporting should be required. I see what I see and that's good enough for my opinion right now.

The biggest part I don't like is how people are being pushed towards shelters to adopt dogs and pitbulls of unknown origin are the highest percentage of dogs available in those shelters. Whether it's their bred in nature or their nurture. I think a combination of both, but I don't think these shelters should be pushing these dogs onto families. Especially ones that have killed family pets before and are being advertised as "good with children"

A definition which fits with a fixed amount fine as well.
It's simple.

~~The Assault Weapons Ban only applied to new guns.~~ ATF policy change, not AWB. Existing guns were grandfathered in.

Guns have many interchangeable parts. The part of the gun that the government considers to be the "legal definition" is a part called the lower receiver. You can change almost anything about a gun as long as you keep the lower receiver and comply with any other laws.

So if you buy an old MAC-10 lower receiver that was manufactured before the new ATF policy, and add an adapter [1] that allows it to be combined with the non-lower parts from an AR-15, you can create a completely legal Frankenrifle with mostly new parts!

This isn't even the craziest thing you can do with gun loopholes in the USA. "Pistol braces" [2], originally made for war veterans with amputations to shoot small rifles, have pretty much obsoleted restrictions on short-barreled rifles. "Ghost guns" [3], i.e. lower receivers that have no serial number and do not appear in any database, are easily made by anyone with access to CNC tools (including a few hours rental for a few hundred bucks). 3D printed pistols are becoming a thing [4], although they are not very durable.

> With data from 25 OECD countries over 15 years from 2000 to 2014, we find that a higher minimum wage decreases labor demand but does not affect labor supply. Our empirical results also suggest that relatively modest increases in minimum wages have limited impacts on employment. On average, 10 percent increase in the minimum wage decreases employment by 0.7 percent, thereby increasing unemployment rate by 0.64 percent.

This is just one paper, I don't know if it's a fact.
I interpreted that "Spend more to go to events" quote as being with regards to travel, rather than exorbitantly expensive meet-and-greets. If I have some kind of hobbyist interest and there's a convention for it in another country, I'd probably enjoy travelling for that and meeting people I'd never meet otherwise.

Of course that might not be the greatest advice right this moment... But generally speaking I think it's fairly sound.
I genuinely mean no offence by this but this is one of the funniest possible responses you could have come up with. It's like something from a skit. I am dying of laughter here. This is great.
There used to be a drag and drop macOS app based on the (py?) script.
The person you now admit is a lunatic was your only source that pit bulls are particularly dangerous compared to ANY large breed. This is to say the level of danger directly and only corresponds to the fact that a large dog can do more damage than a chihuahua. Statistically buying your kid a bike is much more dangerous to their continued survival. Dogs that are raised properly aren't particularly dangerous regardless of breed. Like the bike its a small manageable risk you can virtually negate by not being an idiot and helping your kid not be an idiot.

What YOU want to do is take this decision out of their hands based on dog attack videos on youtube and debunked information from a person you now seem to agree is a lunatic.

I'm going to need to see an actual source for your claims.
Automatic guns became regulated in the 1930s, and you need approval by the ATF to own them and they need to be registered. They're in a similar category as bombs, rocket launchers, and whatnot. They are strictly regulated and the government basically knows where each one is at all times.

In 1986, they stopped accepting new registrations for automatic guns. So there's a fixed supply of legal automatic firearms that normal people can own.

If this were true, institutional investors would only invest in the biggest hedge funds, ignoring the smaller ones. They don't, because the biggest hedge funds seldom have the best returns.
Automotive deaths are another example of a failure, not success. Something like 40,000 deaths a year still. Add guns to the list as well. Covid isn’t the first mass killer we just kind of learn to live with and ignore.
Yes, definitely. Unfortunately this all is usually buried behind heaps and heaps of people trying to sell you something that won't work (either because it just doesn't work for you or because it's a scam! Or maybe both!)
> The ultra rich don't pay the current tax rate, why would raising a tax they don't pay have any effect?

The ultra rich don't pay the current nominal income tax rate, because their income isn’t of the kind subject to income taxes, much less the additional taxes levied on labor income. The simple solution to that is to wipe away the distinctions about source of income in taxation policy (for payroll taxes, that means also eliminating limitations in source of income that qualifies for benefits and the quantity of annual income taxed, but that doesn't prevent, e.g., additional “bend points” in benefit formulas to limit the benefit impact of larger incomes.)

> Until there's an aggressive international agreement on closing tax loopholes, raising the taxes only impacts the barely-rich (doctors, lawyers, etc).

That's only true if you raise taxes on the kind and amount of income that doctors and lawyers typically make. Equalizing taxes on capital and labor income by doing away with payroll tax limits and favorable treatment of long-term capital gains while dealing with non-repeatable income (like most long-term capital gains for any but the ultra-rich) by allowing both advance tax recognition of anticipated gains and deferment of windfall gains over a period of years would impact the haut bourgeoisie, but have only modest, and mixed, impacts on the barely rich.

If you were being hit with this as a private individual so consumer protection laws would apply, I wouldn't fancy their chances at all, but if I've inferred your situation correctly that's not the case here? I'm afraid EU law is often very bad at protecting small businesses, so while I wish you luck in fighting the good fight, I wouldn't be so confident about your legal position as a corporate entity. But of course, take proper legal advice, as it looks like you are. And maybe Irish national law can help you even if the European provisions don't.

Small point, but the idea here is not using additional spectrum, the antenna design lends (in their analysis) up 29dB added link budget. For a more intuitive example, that's roughly the equivalent of pointing a satellite dish at your phone.

Basically you are now saying their isn't enough evidence so we ought to make laws based on your gut. I'm also going to need a source on shelters accepting animals that have killed other family pets and are subsequently advertised as "good with children" because it kind of sounds like something you learned from your facebook news feed.

The whole point of the idea is to leave potential accomplices out of the loop -- I don't want my last thoughts to be worry about legal peril to people I love.

Here's one scenario that is feasible today. Imagine an IV drip controlled by a computer. If I enter the correct password when prompted (say once every 24 hours), nothing happens. However if I am prompted repeatedly to enter the password and I do not do so, the IV drip is actuated. The drip contains an end-of-life cocktail.

This puts the onus on me to make an affirmative choice each day to continue to live. If I am unwilling or unable to enter the passcode, that indicates either 1) my condition has deteriorated to the point where I am cognitively or physically so disabled that I cannot remember and physically enter the password, or 2) I am making a conscious choice to end my life.

There is no action to be taken by anyone to cause my death; the decision rests entirely with me, and is effectuated by a machine, not a person.

The automatic weapons ban (specifically the 1986 Machine Gun Act) is distinct from the Assault Weapons Ban. The Assault Weapons Ban was in the 1990s and banned the sale of semi-automatic guns with certain shapes of grip, bayonet lugs, and other features. It did not ban anything based on magazine capacity, as is often stated. It expired in the 2000s since it had a sunset provision that made it last 10 years if not renewed.

I can’t find anything on a quick Google that shows differences between 1980 and present. I did find this though: https://endhomelessness.org/homelessness-in-america/homeless...

That site states homelessness across the country is down 12% from 2007 - 2019, but it is up 9% in California in the same time period.

I think this validates asking the question of whether or not tech has been detrimental to general human welfare in the state of California.

I've never used dogs bite as a claim for anything. In fact I find that site unprofessional. You may be thinking of someone else. I have found plenty of primary and secondary sources, both online and in real life, to shape my beliefs. I'm open to any evidence to the contrary but having friends or acquaintances who have fallen into adopting pitbulls only to have had them euthanized or "rehomed" due to issues I am unlikely to change my opinion easily.
In theory the owner should have a better relationship with their bank so they don't deal with that sort of thing.

You can add a signatory to a bank account (and I'm guessing to a credit card as well). I don't know of any services that specialize in nit-picking through the use of an authorized signer however part of said hypothetical service could be to bond / insure that the secondary signer doesn't take some sort of negative action that leaves the account/owner in bad standing.

But again you're running into the ultimate question of why isn't your bank / credit card taking care of you...maybe it's because the bank / CC just make money off of the fiduciary mishaps of the owner when they don't have 20 minutes to wait on hold.

My similar "coming of age" moment was in a hotel in Tokyo.

I had been collecting whisky from a bunch of small liquor stores and had run out of clothes to wrap my bottles in when packing them in my suitcase, so I grabbed a towel from the bathroom.

Being a fancy hotel, I saw they had a price sheet for items that "unexpectedly" went missing, and I think the towel was like $60 or something insane. When I was a kid, I never understood why anyone would pay that much for a towel, but at midnight in my hotel, with a bottle of Japanese whisky worth far more than that potentially on the line, it suddenly clicked why someone might want to do that.

I think I put the towel back and went to the local Don Quixote (open 24/7!) and bought some cheap packing material, but in that moment I definitely understood the prioritization exercise that others I this thread have talked about (how much is my time/how valuable is this thing).

I feel like there's a false equivalence being made here. You're comparing wage to net worth. Zuckerberg's net worth is not a function of his replacement cost. It's the percentage of his own company that he owns, valued at market price. This happens to be worth $100B at current market levels, but it is independent of whether he continues to work at Facebook or anywhere else. It's not compensation for labour.
