I don't think you know much about how commodities are traded. Can you even name the main players?
I would caution that Hacker News is both fairly biased towards a developers view of the world, and also often unrealistic when it comes to things outside of technology. As the technical founder the best thing you can do to grow is actually to spend time learning about management and also the non-technical aspects of running a business. I wouldn't rely on Hacker News for these things. Instead look for local entrepreneur round tables or social groups and hang out with the non-technical roles.
Interesting advice. I wonder if those groups are uniquely an EU thing.

I moved out to the Bay Area about 4 months before the lockdown and have been quite underwhelmed by the lack of community around entrepreneurship. I’m not sure if it’s the lockdown itself, the FAANG companies dominating the talent pools, or me just not understanding the dynamics out here.
That really sucks, sorry to hear you've been robbed so many times! What cities, neighbourhoods, and years did that happen?
I might be biased, but it seems that the hypothesis of the blood level of 25OHD having high impact on complications seems to gain more and more traction - and, in this case, correlation supports reasoned causation. Recent studies were pointing results almost too good to believe (https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.11.08.20222638v...), but a big-scale clinical trial is still needed to confirm such a cheap and and effective treatment. I know all hopes are put now on speeding up the vaccination rate, which is great, but it's honestly hard to believe the lack of quality in the discussion of scientific controversies like this one about VitD. To begin with, even after millions of euros having been put into research of the VitD deficiency pandemic (for instance: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28516265/), it's almost impossible to find comparable, raw data to independently re-analyze previous studies... The practice of science nowadays really sucks. For sure, science-deniers suck even more, but that's no excuse.
Forgot the number 1 rule.

Whatever is that you do, make sure you will always have your company to go back to, the following day.

In other words, always search for risks that can wipe you out, and be paranoid about them, work aggressively to mitigate them, even if the risk is borderline zero that it could happen.
It really depends on what their objectives are; what they think they might accomplish by having an automatic rifle. There are a wide array of tactical objectives, some better served by automatic weapons than others. Consider particularly the different tactical objectives terrorists and soldiers might have. Particularly, soldiers need more discipline because they're likely to be fighting people who can fight back. Having bullets come back at you would surely fray the nerves.
Yup, presumably the majority of companies would happily waive the right to those royalties for the privilege to be included in the results at all.

Because the alternative is google stops including you and you might as well not exist.

The idea that bing or duckduckgo could provide you that service for free while paying the publisher is a joke.
If they say they are going to cut off what would be affected by the law, that's not really a threat, that would just be "getting ahead of potential regulation." If they say they are going to cut off other unaffected services, that's a threat, but I don't think that's what they've done, though I can see why the media even outside of Australia loves that angle.
Firecracker would be better from the security isolation point of view. It can use everything that Docker has to offer in the security domain and some more.

In my opinion, the problem is Tesla and Elon refuse to acknowledge the value of LIDAR. A fused sensor approach is the only way we're going to get full autonomy. I was in this field in 2007 on the DARPA Urban challenge so maybe the state of the art indicates otherwise now however, from the NHTSA investigations into crashes from Tesla's autopilot all of them would have been fixed with even basic LIDAR.
Most common use case of disabling Wifi is when you're at a range where wifi traffic is so degraded that you're better off using the cell network. Thats why it is temporary from the control center but you can disable permanently in settings.
Much of the recent complaining is due to concentration of near-ground routes as a side-effect of the NextGen routing
system.

It is definitely selectively enforced. Not a lot of Hispanic families around here, but I saw a fair bit of that when I lived in Central California. The Mexican-Americans on my former block are having the last laugh though as one by one every house that sells on the block is being bought by their friends and family.
Total. And it was like the first 200 were in 15 to 20 sec.
Funny how this is all okay when it comes to the Capitol riot of 2021. But was the same done for the Capitol riots when Kavanaugh was nominated? Nope. What about the multiple “climate justice” riots incited by AOC and Tlaib, also at the Capitol? Nothing - it was barely covered in media. What about the various riots and criminal incidents related to BLM or Antifa? What about the various autonomous zones that popped up in Seattle and Portland over the last year?

Invariably when any push is made to bring leftist criminals to justice, activists cry foul, peddle cliches like “riots are the language of the unheard”, attack anyone posting photos or streams of criminals as “doxxing”, and so on.

There is a clear undeniable double standard behind all this (https://www.allsides.com/blog/capitol-hill-breach-riot-cover...), and it involves politicians, social media giants, news media, and everyday people. The fact that places like Ars or Wired are happily normalizing leftist witch hunts, by being less directly and overtly critical than they could be, should alarm everyone. But the rot goes much much deeper.
My complete inability to tell if your first paragraph is meant to be a joke has got to be an indictment of something.
> the number of bitcoins in Lightning channels appears to have stopped growing

That is misleading in two respects: Funds in lightning have high velocity, so it doesn't necessarily take a lot of funds to support a lot of economic activity.

Channels were originally all public, but now most channels are private, so no one really knows how much funds are involved in lightning channels.

People who use lightning generally describe it very positively. The bigger impediment to making small frequent payments is Bitcoin's tax treatment: E.g. in the US every single purchase made with Bitcoin requires line item reporting to the IRS and cost basis tracking.
It may not be what fly.io does but there's a walkthrough of the basic idea here https://iximiuz.com/en/posts/from-docker-container-to-bootab...
I am not so sure about that. Amazon uses Firecracker because of its performance and how lightweight it is. Qemu VMs used to be heavier and I think Qemu devs started a project to have a lightweight version like Firecracker recently.
Parkinson’s meds are hard to grab, so TikTok users crowdsourced a solution
That's why you can't make GDPR complaint against Instagram or Facebook if you want to keep your account but at the same time you want them to respect the law. Governments must really come down on Facebook hard as they just laugh at everyone. Unfortunately they have so much money and our political class is so corrupt that any politician rather wants to get a second house than actually do their job.
It was a golden age. C++, Python, Java, PHP, JavaScript, C#. Every language we use today with the exception of Rust and Go came from that time.
You can come up with alternative definitions of a word if you want, but that doesn't change the definition of the word. The word you used is an insult in most settings, as it refers to mentally disabled people.

Then, if you are truly a scientist then, please go and publish about how humans spread around earth millions of years ago, at a time where Homo sapiens sapiens didn't even exist yet. The only citations you will get will be from comedians.

When humans move into an area, other species lose their habitat. This happens every day. We are an invasive species, we disrupt ecosystems. If you want to feel better with yourself and believe in stupid fairy tales about how we humans are special, then go and create another concept for it. I don't care. In the end, what matters is understanding that we are ruining the environment everywhere we go, and causing the extinction of species everywhere we go.
I’m guessing one potential advantage could be that it makes open source development with numerous contributors easier to manage.

Different contributors focus on smaller codebases without worrying about building the whole monolithic product.
Don't you need exact guarantees on write ordering to achieve that?
A bit bland and in-your-face when compared to the best of the Old Internet, but it warms me to see that someone is at least trying.

Lightning was released in 2012. It’ll be nine years old in September.

USB-C was released in 2014 and adoption has been very slow, and the standard has had problems.

Remember all the noise when they dropped the 32-pin connector for the much better Lightning?

I’d like a wireless charging solution and no cable.

Of course, I’d also like a global standard that plugs into the wall.

What euphemism do you prefer for trying to overturn the result of democratic election using violence?
But I mean, what kind of the start to discussion is this. Should I not report a burglary either, since maybe the laws dealing with burglars fail to take into account someone's difficult life situation and don't reflect the diverse views of our citizens on the subject of non violent crime and punishments associated with it?

Like, if I move somewhere where I know that the noise regulations mandate low noise after 10pm and there's a pub making a racket at midnight, of course I'm going to report it, the fact that it's been there for 200 years is literally completely irrelevant.

Hey there!

I'm from France, 18yo and founded a SaaS with a friend when I was 16 (https://kaktana.com).
It's been doing ~$800/month for the last 1.5 years as I had to stop working on it for a very intensive school program (la prépa for the Frenchs). Currently thinking of building a v2 next year when I have more time.

I wonder whether SpaceX will allow Starlink service (https://www.starlink.com/) to the open Internet even in repressive countries. Obviously there are many barriers, ranging from the states's security apparatuses to getting payment for service to Starlink to smuggling the dishes into the repressive countries, but it's not impossible to imagine a future in which open Internet access is much harder to block in many places.
My impression is that the hello messages developed into an unfortunate part of Google’s culture. I entered the industry in 2010 and didn’t run into this practice until 2015, when I began working closely with someone who was recently ex-Google (specifically, “you there?”/“yt?”). She was a super smart and kind person, and it was easy for me to coach her out of it, hence my thinking that she learned the bad habit at Google, and that it was in no way a manifestation of her personality (contrary to the suggestion of some comments in this thread that read more deeply into the behavior).
I think it's a YAGNI problem, perhaps not consciously stated. The premise is if we never touch the public members, we can one day update the setters to add validation, or analytics, or include some automated formatting shim inside the getter...

But nobody actually does it.
Bitcoin cash? You sound clownish. Wake up and stop drinking the kool-aid buddy. Nobody goes near that scam fest, sorry.
Things got more complex because the problems got more complex. Creating a stack from scratch is something that a contractor would suggest to a company, so then they will have full bookings for fixing those. I was at couple of companies who were React/Angular/.NET shy and their CTO wanted to show off building ultimate framework that will make company millions. Every developer had to spend weeks figuring out how to use it and then they always f up something. One gone bankrupt another is rebuilding everything with React...
Thank you for the feedback. Some people want to use the premium icons (as they are more exclusive), and they obviously help to keep the lights on, but I disagree with your point on us "tricking you to click it". They are clearly labelled, and if you're not interested at all in them you can filter them out. We will remember your preference and will not show them again.

There is a download limit on the icons you can download per day, with an exception to the limit if you're downloading a full pack. A platform that creates its own icons has different trade-offs than a platform that collect icons available for free, and that's another one of these trade-offs. We could remove the limit on CC icons, though.

I'm sorry that you have a sub-par experience with Flaticon, and glad that you extract some value from it.

The fact that our database is "so big" is because we paid artists to create these icons, and at the end of the day this money has to come from our customers, but I take note of your comments as we clearly have room to improve.

Thank you!

At some point in the near future there may open source antenna designs that could run SpaceX's closed source software on commodity equipment with service paid for by Bitcoin.
I particularly liked their handling of Java Beans. It not only created the stub code, but even after one filled in the blanks, the IDE could continue to modify the code using the GUI (e.g. connect different beans). Other IDEs at that time allowed you to only create the stub code and once you manually modified it, they were unable to assist you further.

Seems others didn't quite appreciate this "visual programming" as much and the idea died out.
In case you’re looking for background, this concerns the arrest of Alexei Navalny, a Putin political opponent. He was recently poisoned (almost certainly by the Russian state), treated in [EDIT: Germany], and immediately arrested upon return to Russia. Now his wife and other associates have also been detained. There are widespread protests as a result.

See https://ground.news/article/7bdfdb69-fbf5-4fb5-be1b-43c8d8b3... for articles related to the protest from different news media with various biases.
Swiss SIX Exchange lists BTCetc Bitcoin ETP, a new crypto ETP product
"Swiss SIX Exchange, Switzerland’s principal stock exchange, continues to expand its crypto products with a new Bitcoin (BTC) exchange-traded product, or ETP.

On Jan. 13, SIX launched trading of the BTCetc Bitcoin ETP (BTCE), a new crypto ETP product issued by London-based investment firm ETC Group. The newly listed ETP tracks the price of Bitcoin, providing investors with a new way to get exposure to the world’s largest cryptocurrency. Each BTCE unit provides holders with a claim on a predefined amount of BTC.

ETC Group specializes in building new digital asset-backed securities and is backed by shareholders like XTX Markets’s venture capital arm XTX Ventures and financial services firm ITI Capital."
In many countries when you work as an employee you have to pay taxes like an employee (and tax must be collected at source). How this platform deals with that?
> While ARM-based instance is 25 percent cheaper, it is able to show a 15-20% performance gain in most of the tests over the corresponding x86 based instances.

To put this into Workload per Dollar. Graviton 2 on AWS is roughly 50% to 60% cheaper. Now not every workload will benefits, there are many CPU intensive workload especially those benefits from SIMD won't work as well on current Graviton 2. But there are enough workloads especially those dealing with Web Stack has shown huge cost savings.

Hopefully this add perspective when people are thinking Intel's Server Platform is still relatively safe. I wrote something about it here [1].

Adding context will also makes it possible for you to actually prepare for the answer. In a busy workplace this can be a huge time saver.

Another thing I hate is the people who just say "Hello" and then disappear for some reason. Even if I say "Hi" back after 20 seconds, they don't answer for several minutes. Then I just waste time staring at the screen...
Thanks, I had a lot of discussion with my founder about funding. Until now, I'm happy we did it bootstrap.

To answer your questions:
Model: B2B, mostly public educational institutes with 10k+ students.
ARPU: would be dumb to shared, but just under the EU tender limit, so sales cycles are reduced to minimum.
LTV: That's a hard one when you sell yearly contracts and less than 10months old. But from what we see, schools are very loyal customers.
Marketing: Lol, we have a website that we made with a 20$ template. It's all word of mouth and cold calling
> There is no “base layer” beneath TCP/IP.

The people who run the DWDM systems in my region might disagree with that statement :)

Not a network protocol layer but there's plenty of transport gear that exists at layers 1/2 in the OSI model and is opaque to people who are looking at things from the perspective of router-to-router (or metro ethernet L2 transport) adjacencies.
Maybe there's been a positive drift in that aspect of the community over the last couple years. Take this thread from last week about GlacierMD:

In what way is that complexity meaningful? If I put a pot of water on the stove the specific way the water swirls around is a chaotic non linear system, but it’s not going to keep the water from warming up.

Similarly, if hypothetically increased global temperature results in increased cloud formation that reduces the impact of climate change that presupposes some increase in temperature otherwise the change in cloud formation doesn’t happen. As such it’s reasonable to argue about the magnitude of change but not the direction of change.

I can clearly see arguing about a specific location bucking global trends because there complexity actually plays a direct role, thus the term climate change. But, globally I can’t see how everywhere on average would buck these trends.

> This money could have been used in unaccountably (sic) more productive enterprises

The space industry is one of the major resource sinks that prevent runaway economic growth that would destroy civilization as we know it: the so-called "economic supernova".

The natural result of scientific progress is a kind of economic singularity beyond which is entirely unknown territory. What happens to our civilization when the primary underpinnings are obviated by technology? No one knows.

So, NASA, FAANG, the Financial Industry, most of the lawyers, accountants, and bureaucrats, etc. are just make-work jobs to occupy productive people to keep them from inadvertently causing the apocalypse.

(FWIW Bucky Fuller calculated that the inflection point to runaway wealth was in the mid-1970's. We're fifty years over due for the end of history.)

I can't believe I've to explain this...
I'm kind of surprised about how much pushback you're getting on this. If I was working in person, someone coming up to me and asking "do you have a sec?" would be a perfectly reasonable thing to do. Even if I worked in a private office, someone knocking on the door would deserve enough attention to explain their situation. I don't think I've ever worked at a place where I could get away with telling my colleagues "don't come talk to me unless we have an appointment". Being available to help is part of the job.
If BTOpenReach could pull their fingers out the shareholders and run full fat fibre to my place, that'd be awesome.
