We love the idea of group buying as we get a lot of product inspiration from Pinduoduo. We’ve spent a lot of timing thinking how to leverage the fun of group buying without the traditional discount incentive. It’s hard to do! The solution we launched with is ‘buckets’ (and we made an HN group here: https://chums.link/rBQ6). Groups can discuss products to buy together and make decisions together.

We’re open to all thoughts and suggestions though, and would love to hear more about your idea and the value you think you could get from it.
That's the symptom and not the cause. When people treat virtue signaling the same as positive change, it's natural for corporations to exploit that. It's a cheap way of building goodwill.

Bunny Stream: A better way to deliver online video
I have a Mikrotik RB2011Ui. I like it but don't love it. For the price it has a lot of features. RouterOS CLI is no worse than others I've used. It has an SFP port if you need to do fibre to the kitchen. I have not been brave enough to try OpenWRT on it. RouterOS doesn't do NETCONF which I find disappointing.

If you buy something with Mikrotik RouterOS on it make sure you read a hardening guide and how to upgrade and keep and eye on the CVE list.

There are definitely parts of healthcare that are unreasonable to expect to be commoditized. A heart transplant or brain surgery are probably things where centers specialized in those areas will be higher quality.

But for more common things like an annual wellness exam, or blood tests, mending a broken arm, treating the flu, or even doing surgery on a burst appendix, those are things that I think can reasonable be commoditized across any healthcare providers.
For those who haven't seen this masterpiece.

Hey Kevin,

Looks fascinating. Could I ask you more about debt capital? I am working with an organization considering raising debt capital right now, but, as you mention, the associated rules are very confusing, and it all feels much less straightforward than startup funding.

Do you do any management of the negotiation/set up process (i.e. everything that comes up before signing a contract?

It looks like Ironclad is more oriented to those needs... Do you plan to occupy that space too?
Curiously, the author doesn't bother to categories difficult executives. He exhibits a willingness to criticize everyone except for the ones far above him.

The rest of his advice reads pretty poorly. He claims that non-technical managers don't hurt projects and that the remediation is just for developers to not rely on them to arbite technical disputes. At this point in my management career, I've witnessed several non-technical managers unknowingly misrepresent their teams capability, causing projects to fail without developer meddling.

I wouldn't take this website seriously.
Haproxy itself is a solid piece of software. The runtime API is something they added on top of it because of competitors (envoy).
Being a public utility or not has nothing to do with commoditization. You keep saying you're against commoditization but then make arguments in favor of it.

In fact, commoditization of healthcare is probably one of the best steps towards making it a public utility. So if that's what you want, then you probably do want healthcare to be commoditized.

> the overall collapse of sense-making

I suspect this is caused more by the collapse of (false, but easily comprehensible) narratives than an actual reduction in coherent reasoning. Most "normies", so to speak, have always believed a huge amount of bullshit, and the forces that stabilized schelling points in bullshit-space have been diminished.
I guess the idea that the reason the "entire of south america would move to the USA" and are "clamoring to get it" (other than, you know, geographical proximity and no funds to travel transatlantically) is in no small part due to the historical actions of the USA in destabilizing the regions where they live hasn't crossed your mind?

Of course it hasn't. Those countries suck because they are not the USA. USA on top = the natural state of things. USA! USA! USA! Think critically about the actions of the country and the shadow which it casts to this day? Suck it up snowflake or get out!!

It's exactly your kind of bland patriotism, devoid of any appreciation as to why things are the way they are, that the person you where replying to was talking about. And it's part of the reason as to why things are the way they are.

I think perhaps you view patriotism as a core part of why America is in the position it is today, but unfortunately to think that is to ignore history.

And lastly, the rest of the world doesn't really agree. I expect you'd be surprised the real damage Trump has done to the reputation of the USA abroad and how much it's tarnished the image you think you had.
Are you interested in working with data and solving optimization problems? Are you ok with fairly repetitive processes (data cleaning, very similar models with minor tweaks here and there, etc)?

The application of ML is nowhere near as glamorous as it seems (having done ML at FAANG).

That said, it's still a great tool to have and a great thing to understand, who knows maybe you'll end up really liking the process and the data aspect of it. You won't become an expert at it in 6 months, but you can develop a relatively good understanding of it and build a couple practical projects and know what you don't know (essentially what are the different fields within ML, what kind of applications are there, what kind of models would you use in which kind of scenarios, etc).

I highly recommend learning it if you have time. Lots of good information on here and in /r/cscareerquestions and /r/machinelearning as well.

Interesting that you’ve now accused me of arguing to protect my ego and being snide in the same breath as saying I’m the one being hostile. All I said is that you expressed an opinion, not an argument, which is explicitly true based on your first reply, and explained why if your argument was going to be about why actually there is no trade off why I disagree with it - based on your further responses it feels like you may have taken that personally. It wasn’t personal.

If you’re going to accuse me of a lack of curiosity then you need to explain why anything you have written actually does more than repeats the claims in the article I was explicitly rejecting, or why my claim that you leaning on titles to form your argument is just debating over definitions is false.

Use your logic then. Ask yourself who was defecting where. Ask yourself who had a the better level of life and who had the gulags. Ask yourself why so many countries and their hundred of millions of inhabitants violently overthrew the communist regime at the end of the '80s.

Better yet, go ahead and pay a visit to the communist success stories of N Korea, Cuba or Venezuela. They are still around. Maybe they will convince you.

Then finally look around at the very tools you are using. The car you are driving, the furnace heating your house, the computer you write on. They are all success stories of capitalism. Ask yourself where are the success stories of communism. What things it built, what hard, concrete, useful stuff it created. Believe the proof presented to you by the real world - and reject the propaganda.

I don’t know, black male between 4’11 and 7’4 probably. What did I do after that? I carried on with the rest of my day like nothing had happened because I’ve fucking been there and done it all before.

You have to use the auto layout feature within Figma to have a consistent output for now (I intend on relaxing this requirement, but auto layout makes things much easier). But you don't need to do anything external to Figma. There's a plugin (currently in review) and you will be able to manage everything from there.

btw you can easily connect zotero to your own nas via webdav and you have unlimited storage. Works fine for me. The only drawback of zotero is that you dont have a native mobile client.

Another part of the problem is that you cannot unring a bell. For example, the WaPo issued a retraction yesterday:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-call-georgia-i...

The headline quotes from their original story were proven wrong when deleted audio of the call was recovered:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/recording-of-trump-phone-call-t...

But the harm was already done, the misinformation was already used, and the false quote can be seen on page 10 of this:

https://judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/house_trial_brief_...

This is a well-respected publication commenting on a matter of great importance that injected false information into it. Information that was somehow 'confirmed' by several other publications relying on their own anonymous sources.
What happened then? Maybe in response, he said "no, I didn't internalize any racism, and here's a list of reasons why that logically isn't racist at all", and they said "Oh, never mind then".

Or maybe not. If accusing people of internalizing systemic racism didn't work, nobody would do it. We have a system where accusing a person of racism is an instant win and cannot be argued with, and as long as it is an instant win, it's going to be used, even against actual black people.
You're thinking of progressivism, not liberalism. The American right has turned "liberalism" into a pejorative despite mostly being liberal themselves. (Trump supporters aren't liberal, hard to be liberal when you support fascism)

The only two terms that are really opposites here are 'left' and 'right', because they literally mean which side of the aisle you're sitting on. It shouldn't surprise anyone that the extremes of both sides are going to line up around who belongs in power, the elites, or in publicly accountable institutions.

Well they shouldn't have been let back in anyway. I also have no sympathy for a woman that said she felt nothing when she saw severed heads (of people executed by ISIS). Also there are claims that she enforced some of the Sharia laws and wasn't a passive member of the Caliphate.

She revoked her citizenship when she left.

No there is a different legal treatment for people that join a rogue state which literally wants to destroy yours. I don't care about these people. Her supporters can cry racism all they want, It isn't racism. We don't want terrorists back in the country.

"As they adapted to hunting... brain volume [grew] from 650cc to 1,500cc."

"As humans moved into permanent settlements and became farmers, their brain size decreased to its current volume of 1300-1400cc."

Its interesting that we today have smaller brains than our prehistoric ancestors.

I wonder if we can look through our genetic code and find some remnants of this past, and re-engineer the relevant genes into future generations?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S01602...

Given that Asians (1364cc) have a larger brain size than Whites (1347cc) and Blacks (1267cc), did these kind of pre-historic trends also play out differently across different landmasses?

I repaired a lot of Westinghouse Industrial Control Modules that were built in 1964 with early transistor technology as a rule,

The most interesting was a magnetic amplifier module, it had 4 windings as inputs, each thus DC isolated from all of the others, AND it worked all the way down to DC... which I didn't expect. The drive frequency was about 10 Khz.

---

In the 1950s, transistors weren't yet reliable enough for computing, so they invented a solid state computer in the 1950s that ran at 1Mhz, had few transistors, and a few big tubes driving the clocking, it used magnetic amplifiers for logic gates.

Virtually every story is flamebait to somebody, so 'why bother' arguments that justify going straight to hell can't be valid.

How HN works is that commenters need to resist provocation and focus on substantive, thoughtful discussion no matter how divisive the topic is. Please see https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. This is something we're working on learning to do as a community. Most commenters in this thread are demonstrating that it is possible. Accounts that fuck with that process by casually setting fires or stoking them are particularly harmful, so please don't do that here.

In terms of whether an article is on topic, the criterion is not "might someone take it as flamebait", but "is it intellectually interesting and substantive enough to support thoughtful discussion". More explanation about that if anyone wants it: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so....
