Ask HN: Questions about Business Model Canvas
Hi,

I have 2 questions -
1) What are the issues faced by you while creating Business Models?
2) What are the benefits of Business Model?
Class is the driver, but it's a very easy topic to dress up as racially motivated and yet again split everything across racial lines instead of against the wealthy NIMBY liberals that enable this shit to happen.

There was certainly a productivity per hour worked hit, as people replaced their commutes or more with screen time.

Folks are overall more productive, yes, but at a cost of more hours worked. The marginal productivity and its rate of improvement is not as high.

Last month they even managed to fully open parts of the modem, and do calls without the closed blob for the firmware!

(edit: caveat: they might not be able to actually ship the firmware since laws on this are very strict basically everywhere)

The app store(s) is a bit of a problem, but in time it might be solved. Not a big problem for me....

But I'd also like to see android compatibility. Multiple banks now basically require you to have an android app. Unfortunately that might also require better specs, since sideloading an entire android might take significant RAM :(

Still, kudos to pine64 devs for the openness of all of their projects! IMHO even the raspy is not as open, even if it might have better benchs
Is there a reason these customs processes can't be simplified? Or is it due to some perverse capitalist reason, like TurboTax lobbying against simpler tax code?
So glad companies like Google are there to tell us what's ok to run on our computers.
Application security trends that matter
We have an internal database that keeps track of who contributed where. So in practice when someone is making a hiring decision, they find someone who works on our experiment, and that person asks around or accesses the internal database to see if the candidate really did everything they claimed.

Mayhaps you have crypto funds that you've forgotten to report as income. Being able to get a brand-new car without having to involve IRS is a neat way to commit tax fraud.

> So? I can't BASE jump, but you should still heed my criticism if I tell you doing it from 30 feet up won't work.

No its just a meaningless opinion that is polluting the feed. Its just noise. In general in technology debates, especially here on hacker news, we prefer actual "insights" or "diffs" if you go read the site guidelines.
For visual line-of-sight flight, it's helpful to have different color LEDs on the front and rear so you can tell which way it's pointed. Certainly sounds like a photographer job.
"but there hasn't been a sweep of the neighborhoods with officers asking to look inside of your garage for uncommon tools."

So now we have another set of laws that can be selectively used against some people, usually against people with little money to defend themselves. When I moved to LA it was the same with marijuana laws. Cops were raiding poor neighborhoods for marijuana while you could walk in almost any well off neighborhood and smell the smoke from far away. But these neighborhoods never got raided.

A law should either get enforced or it should be revoked.
Its nothing to do with the risk from covid because its minuscule, its more of does it actually make sense to work in the office? For many tech worker, there is little benefit of actual office space.
This.

I used Lambda@Edge last week to smooth some rough edges between CloudFront and S3.

S3 is just a HTTP server for CloudFront and S3 in itself is a rather dumb HTTP server. Lambda@Edge allowed me to add some additional features to that integration to make S3 a bit more bearable, like automatic index files and path cleanups.
> The contracts clearly state the UK is first in line. There's nothing shady or underhanded going on. AZ is just honoring it's most important contract first.

The UK's contract does, the EU's contract does not. In general, "I've decided another contract is more important, so I get to break yours without penalty" isn't a particularly credible defense if you're sued for breach of contract.
Is the price denominated in USD or in Bitcoin? The USD price for a Tesla tends to remain constant for relatively long stretches of time, I wonder if they're willing to commit to the BTC price staying put for similar amounts of time

The recent conflicts including the recent nagorno-karabakh is a very interesting change of pace in modern warfare.

Ukraine and Syria taught us that you still need a standing army and money to handle conflicts which involve a bunch of different armed ideological groups, foreign sponsored fighters and local terrorists/rebels. Azerbajan, Syria, most African countries and Russia are paying mercenaries to not have their names on certain conflicts and not lose nationals.

And the Armenia vs Azerbajan conflict was interesting because it is one of the first nation vs nation, army vs army war. Since both had decent Air defence systems, very few aircraft were directly used to fight or drop any bombs. Instead, they used missles, drones and suicide drones, which were more accurate then missles and cheaper than actual drones.

None of these conflicts so far really touched on the use of a Navy, because the conflicts were all local or in neighboring countries. So maybe its telling that navies are only useful with how China employs them, to enforce and scare of fishermen in their own waters or deterr other navies (like the Phillapines vs China sea debacle). And to transport troops across continents.

All us this + cyberwarfare and propoganda is this new era.
There is a short story by Marshall Brain about just that -- AI taking over directing fast food workers. And then just taking over.

Tech workers seem to agree: permanent work from office isn't what most of us want. Fair enough.

But here's a fun question: If you aren't permanently in the office, do you need a personal, permanent desk in the office? Because that is going to be the first cut that comes when we all "go back, some of the time". And half the people I pose this question to get upset about it.

My own prediction is that teams are going to book sets of desks together the same way we book meeting rooms. They're shared and you'd better have a reservation.

But "your" desk with your photo of the spouse and kids, your knick-knacks, your notebooks and "your" monitor? I doubt you'll ever have that again.
This is mostly how I feel as well. However, I wonder how well the hybrid office thing will work out in practice.

Specifically, if you’re in the 63% of people who want to “pop into the office sometimes,” and you come in on some random Tuesday.... is anyone else even there?

It seems like the probability of seeing the people you want to see by chance (when 83% are either always or usually remote) is very low.

So my guess is that for the hybrid thing to still have the social aspect of office work it probably needs to be paired with a policy like “we all come to work on Tuesdays.” But if you do that then the all-remote crowd isn’t getting what they want (they still need to live in travel range if they have to be in the office once a week).

So the alternative is to do something more like “we all come to the office for one week every quarter,” and in that case it’s more of a company retreat than normal work.

So as I said, I’m curious how things will unfold as life opens back up.

My best guess is we’ll end up converging on 2-4 different archetypical models which will become part of a company’s identity and recruiting pitch, and people will self select into the work style they prefer.

Wanting without understanding leading to superficial mimicking in hope of gaining exacerbated by (insert any or all compounding factors that lead to defending ignorance)...

Texas has a limit of I believe a 10% increase in tax assessment per year, so this prevents the worst outcomes but only slows down the rest. If you think of property tax as crudely analogous to rent (from a budget perspective), most families would not be able to endure 10% rising rent every year for an extended period. Yet this future sure seems to be baked into the market here in Austin right now.

Would the mixed/hybrid model include hoteling? If not, what's the advantage to the company if they still have to provide a reserved office/cubicle/workstation space for each employee? One of the big arguments in favor of allowing remote work is that is saves the employer on facilities. While there are other benefits, mostly in terms of morale, the bean counters who have a lot of control over this aren't going to be happy if they have to both provide office facilities and support for remote work to the same person.
Probably from too much experience that they need to expect to be in a fight, so they adopt an aggressive posture from the start.

I imagine so, there have been relatively few instances in which merchants were interested in selling directly for bitcoin, rather than using an intermediary to process the amount straight to a national currency.

How AWS pricing works in practice is complicated, which is the problem I was trying to illustrate. It's mostly based on usage/capacity, but hopefully for a SAAS product, the demand for chargeable AWS resources is strongly correlated with levels of user engagement and that in turn with levels of revenue.
This is not accurate. Tesla is obligated to file IRS Form 8300 for all Bitcoin purchases over $10,000.
How to Integrate Security Testing into Your Software Development Life Cycle
you already established it was illegal. is that the only reason it bothers you, or is there something else?
Yes (well, sort of; you could use the Epsilon GC, which is essentially a no-op GC), but I once read of a library that allocated all of its objects at initialisation and claimed to be "GC-neutral", i.e. not add any memory management burden regardless of the GC chosen by the application using it. They were very surprised when they tried running their benchmarks with G1. OpenJDK's modern GCs are optimised for "reasonable behaviour." Allocate too much and you suffer; allocate too little (by which I mean reuse objects and mutate them a lot) and you also suffer. But as long as your behaviour is in the broad more-or-less normal range, you get some really good performance, which is only getting better with each release.
If the mock's model of the mocked-out component is inaccurate, it reduces the relevance of the test using the mock.
Wouldn't that just result in everyone buying with the currency in which the car is the cheapest at that point in time? Seems like a guaranteed loss on Tesla's end.

There's mounting evidence that Ivermectin works great against covid when given early. I wont do your job but you can use this google.com thing or r/ivermectin .

The problem with Ivm (for 1st world countries) is that its cheap and not pstented, so there's no money in making scientific trials. So a lot of the trials available are from third world countries.

Here in Mexico IVM has been given by some doctors, the IMSS (which is the national health system) has it as part of the COVID cocktail . And I've seen several doctors prescribing it prophylactically.

While I mostly agree with you, one of the health institutions in Germany that I know of(and probably plenty others), only had laptops and VPN's available for middle and upper management. So while upper and middle management got to WFH, older folks and plenty of people with preexisting heart and lung conditions got to work in cramped 3-5 people offices.

I agree that a lot of people can't afford a full size home office. Nonetheless most of them will probably also only have a small cubicle or less at work.

My statement doesn't negate what you said, but do keep this perspective in mind also.

Was the Java utility one that started and didn't run for very long, like a command line application? The JVM (at least the Oracle one) takes a long time to start up, so any application that runs on the JVM takes a long time to start up. The JVM is much better for long running processes.

>What is creepy here is that a random website which I closed ten minutes ago get to know when I unplug my ethernet cable.

Not really, since the connections aren't kept around forever[1], and can be closed for a variety of other reasons (eg. closing the browser), so it's a really poor indicator of "ethernet unplugged". If anything, since nothing's being sent over the connection, it's impossible to distinguish between "ethernet unplugged", "computer going to sleep/hiberate", or "middlebox killing idle connection".

Your original point was that node.js has an edge because it has something nobody else has - low memory footprint, low latency, quick time-to-market, scalable. If the response is that "any modern web framework"can do it, then your point does not stand at all.

Vert.x is flat out amazing. For node developers, I recommend them taking a look at using it with Kotlin. A Typescript developer can feel awfully "at home" writing a Vert.x/Kotlin web service.
I am even getting partial to licenses that are basically (A)GPL, but only for non-commercial.

Or the kinds where the software is automatically (A)GPL after 2-3 years.

On the flipside, i once experienced a 'fun' renegotiation with oracle (surprise) when we were migrating to core-dense architectures and they changed their licensing model -

We could either move from 40k/instance to 40k/cpu (so in this case - pay 8x more), or, they would be willing to work with us on a low 'per client' fee.

Unfortunately, the system in question was a network management system for many 1000s of devices, and they were attempting to treat each device & each person in the organization touching any software connected to the system as a 'client' ...

management quickly started to investigate the viability of postgres/enterprisedb ... though I think in the end we were able to renegotiate oracle back down to this planet.
Bitcoin true believers are the ones who wouldn't do this because they believe it will keep going up.
Hi HN,

I'm Kingsong from the Techintern.io team! We connect startups with the best software developers from colleges across North America.

Techintern.io started during the pandemic when my cofounders and I, fellow Waterloo alum, saw that a lot of really strong software developer students had their internships cancelled. At the same time, we noticed that certain startups were getting a lot of funding and aggressively looking to hire. We were also inspired by Waterloo's co-op program and hope to bring regular internship opportunities to students from all backgrounds.

We connect directly with the best software developers from colleges interested in working at startups. We source them through our network of club leaders at colleges and student organizations. This term we are also expanding to smaller colleges and alternate education programs to open up internship opportunities to everyone, not just students from x, y, or z.

Students opt into companies in hiring rounds about once a month. This way, companies get all their details together so that they can reach out, batch interviews and hire within weeks. We've worked with companies of less than 10 people like AudioFocus, where a more experienced intern taking a contractor-like role was the best fit, all the way up to a multinational tech company like Afterpay.

We see interns as the best way to expand the tech hiring pipeline as well as find passionate builders for your company. It's also a great way to expand your team's horizons with new perspectives. Please ask me anything about the intern hiring process or projects that might be a good fit for an intern.

If you're a VC, we'd love to chat! We have worked with VC firms by connecting their portfolio companies to great student talent. Please reach out at kingsong@techintern.io

If you're a tech company or startup, please send us your job role at https://www.techintern.io before March 31 (next Wednesday)!

The transaction energy cost to buy the car is tiny to even be considered. The trip to the dealership you make to buy your car with fiat money probably takes far more energy.
I think that behave (https://behave.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is more useful for testing these more real-life usecases. I tend to have a `test_my_function` in pytest tests and the more integration and functionality-related testing in the behave tests.
I don't think it does. Perhaps you changed the default. Or if you're on a managed device, perhaps your administrator did.
Thanks for sharing this, looks like a really useful series of videos :)
Javascript these days is a very productive language, especially with Typescript. Node however, with its lack of a remotely passable standard library, is not doing it justice.

The async await is amazing and top level await works just fine in a browser console. The fact that node still has it behind a flag is... I mean, they surely have their reasons and I don't know enough to question the decisions of the maintainers, but it feels detached from modern times when using.

Node is not web, don't know why they hesitate so much before remotely breaking things. I'm not advocating for moving fast and breaking things, remind you, I'm just saying that the io.js kick maybe needs to happen again.
> residents are not allowed to work on cars in their homes except fluid changes, with fines if you are found to have professional tools on the premises.

When I see ordinances like this I see a 1A violation waiting to happen. I assume the council has worded it in a way that doesn't draw scrutiny or the affected don't have the resources to have it taken to court.

One of the places I lived added an ordinance banning work trucks. My neighbor works out of his truck and would get fined and towed continuously. He threatened to sue and I think the compromise they reached was he had to remove the company vinyl signs. I believe he changed it to magnet stickers that he installs and removes daily.

And it was basically the same thing; working class apartments slowly gentrified and all sorts of new rules were put in place.
I think many (most) places will return to in-office by default with a permissive WFH system, so you can choose to WFH on any given day with no/minimal notice. Places that are remote first by default - a category which will continue growing - will have minimal to no in-office component.
