Pricing discussion is always tough for startups because the pricing model evolves so quickly and so often. As I address in the post, we are still figuring out the specifics and we completely understand that some users will be turned off by this - we apologize for this uncertainty. I am aware how naive and hand-wavy this sounds, but we genuinely mean it when we say our goal is to not charge smaller companies and indie devs. We are not maliciously avoiding the pricing discussion because we want to "surprise charge" users later.

It is simply too premature to settle on pricing at the moment because we do not have enough data on the "bigger users", who will likely comprise most of our revenue. We have no intent to go out of our way to squeeze revenue from smaller users hosting side projects - quite frankly, the addressable revenue of that user segment is just too low compared to that of larger businesses for us to even fight that battle.

>So I'll keep investing in good, underhyped and stable companies and try to weather whatever storm, good or bad, will come in the next years.

This is the obvious strategy, reduce your risk tolerance and go with proven companies. Put your money (fresh from your bank account, not from your portfolio) into moonshots when you can afford to lose them, after that put the moonshot money back into your boring but relatively safe investments. There are low volatility or stable dividends ETFs that specialize in this.
cmon man. the total weight of pricey metals in a car is so low, there is no way its going to offset the cost of precision machining. tolerances < 1 thou and callouts for surface finish and perpendicularity are expensive!
I assume the rule book specified a maximum fuel tank size, to ensure that teams were making roughly equal pit stops for refueling, etc. Installing a larger fuel tank with the volume taken up by an adjustable air reservoir means the tank starts at legal capacity, and increases in capacity after the race begins, allowing fewer stops for refueling.
This was excellent, but should perhaps be clarified that this is a gasoline engine - diesels don’t ignite by spark, but by immense pressure in the chamber. This also invalidates the “you cannot add fuel to increase power” of gasoline engines. Diesels can (and should!) run at lower rpm; they don’t stall because the ECU can add fuel to increase power output.

Why would they have to raise taxes on people to compensate?

The amount of economic activity required for Intel to even generate $10bn in taxes is massive. The firms Intel employs to build the $20+bn fab would not have the same tax break, nor the employees involved in the construction. Nor the employees, suppliers, and various vendors and logistics companies that would be involved in the running of the fab once it is operational.

So in additional to the strategic political goal of having an advanced current-gen fab on European soil, you also get

– The "second party" taxation that occurs to the parties on the receiving end of the capital Intel is expending in the building and running of the fab. While this is a form of "taxes on people to compensate", it doesn't necessitate raising taxes to offset the Intel subsidy. Since the economic activity is a direct response to the capital Intel employs, even leaving taxation on these parties as-is results in incremental tax collections vs. no fab at all.

– Considering the amount of profit these fabs seem to throw off during their lifetime, and Intel's general scale globally, it stands to reason that a $10bn tax abatement won't subsidize the taxable activities of the fab indefinitely. So once that's been consumed, you're now getting the taxation resulting from the fab's activities and all that second party taxation you were getting the whole time.

So immediate cuts to government services to offset these seems a bit over the top, since a project like this does result in a net increase in taxable activity in both the short and long term, it's just less than it otherwise would be in the short term since you gave a break to the primary entity involved as an incentive to secure their participation.

That said, it only works out that way if companies uphold their side of the bargain. So instead of major spending offsets, it'd be better for governments to structure these subsidies with way more teeth than they usually do. To at the very least claw back the subsidy if warranted[1], or even better to add penalties to the terms of these things such that a company foots the bill for the time and effort and resources the government put into their end of things and the company thinks twice before entering these agreements in the first place.

A bit melodramatic. Nothing of the sort will happen and Basecamp will be all the stronger for it.
The Washington Post keeps a database of all reported police killings in the US. I can't see it myself without a subscription to the WP, but USA Today cites the WP database for the claim that 13 unarmed black men (and one unarmed black woman) were fatally shot by US police in 2019: https://eu.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2020/06/23/fact...

That's only the number who were shot dead by the police, not all police killings (George Floyd wasn't shot.) Also, as the USA Today article says, this data isn't 100% reliable, because the WP can only track reported police killings, and some might be unreported. But dude, I could be off by an order of magnitude and still not be close to "thousands". American police kill about 1000 people per year of all races (armed and unarmed, justified and unjustifiable); anyone who thinks that thousands of unarmed black men are killed by the police every year has no idea what they're talking about.

> And of course unarmed doesn't mean innocent anymore than being armed means being in the wrong.

Yep, and I already said the same in another comment. Not all shootings of an "armed" man are justified. I'll give a name: Philando Castile had a gun in his possession when he was shot dead by police officer Jeronimo Yanez. But, in my non-expert opinion, Castile did not do anything that warranted deadly force, and this shooting was absolutely unjustified.
I had the privilege to be able to visit this place a few years ago. I rented a motorcycle and drove around to the 3 largest jar sites. What this article fails to mention is that the surrounding area is one of the most bombed places on earth.

American bombers would drop their unused payloads here after bombing runs over Hanoi during the American/Vietnam war. Many of the bombs were not armed prior to the drop, they just couldn't land with the extra weight and sometimes clouds prevented them from hitting Hanoi.

As a result there are millions of unexploded ordinances still in the fields here. Certain areas are marked as safe and going off trail at the jar sites is highly discouraged. Some NGOs are working in the area but the USA govt never offered to help clean it up.
> What precedent are we setting by legally mandating what a corporation can do on a platform they solely built?

This does not concern setting precedents. The antitrust laws are already there, this is just a case of them being applied.

More broadly speaking, I'm not really sensitive to the argument "they built the platform, so they should get to choose to do with it whatever they want". Network effects are so large that there is effectively zero competition. What little competition there is can be easily squashed by Apple throwing a minuscule portion of its capital at it.

We need strong regulation to counter this, and to give small businesses a chance.
I paid for Spotify directly with a credit card on their website and then logged into my existing account inside the app. So, by definition, I wasn't forced to subscribe through Apple.

It's true that you're not allowed to advertise that you can do this inside the app itself, but that's not the same as saying you're not allowed to do it at all.

> I could find no mention of why this project chose this particular name.

There's so much information you need to pack into a landing page that for independent projects which would automatically have less eyeball time anyways, information like "why did we choose this name" is just wasted space which could discuss a more compelling feature. Maybe I'll write a blog post on it one day but I don't want to take attention away from the features.

But in answer to your question: This is a shell, like Bash but less POSIX compliant. So I wanted a name that sounded like a shell. Murex is a type of shell (a genus of see snail). Murex also sounds a lot like Unix, Linux, Minix, etc which sounded kind of apt given this is inspired by UNIX shells and chiefly designed for UNIX and UNIX-like platforms.

Frankly name clashes happen all the time. Half the "Show HN" threads have comments akin to "poor choice of name". I spent probably longer than I should admit to looking for a name with zero collisions and this was the best I could find since at least the other murex is in a totally different domain. However if I do get a complaint from the lawyers of the other murex then I'll consider a name change. Suffice to say, naming things is hard.
I use a Durgod Taurus K320 TKL Mechanical Gaming Keyboard 87 Keys, Cherry Silent Red keys, Space Grey: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QK16RDQ

Despite the "gaming" in the name, it's not a """Gaming keyboard"""

Here's what I like about it:

- Wired: I use a wireless mouse but always want a hardwire connection for my keyboard as it's the one thing I need to work exactly 100% of the time

- Quiet & Mechanical: I like having mechanical quality keyboards but find the typical noise of most mechanical keyboards to be far too disrupting

- TenKeyless but otherwise full-sized: I don't need or ever use a number pad. I'd much rather have my mouse closer to the home row. I like having a full set of F1-12 keys and the standard Home/End/Arrow Key cluster

- Classic look: I find the RGB/backlit aesthetic to be gaudy and tacky. I like dark greys. This keyboard matches perfectly with my Logitech MX Master 2S next to it.

- Solid build

Most importantly, it's a keyboard that's let me forget about it. It Just Works.
> What’s variable are services that an app may take advantage of, such as push notifications, geolocation queries, iCloud access, and App Store approvals.

Cool, so let competition roll out implementations of these services, and developers can decide on their own if its worth using Apple's services or their competitors.

Consumers will be able to reap the benefits of increased competition, as the free market delivers to them better, cheaper and more efficient solutions.
Smartphones are an interesting market. They've only been around 14 years and their rate of growth and improvements have been staggering. Just a few years ago every new generation brought a leap in performance, battery, features or design.

Increasingly consumers are not buying phones every year but every two or even three years. As a result manufacturers have been designing planned obsolescence and fighting against the right to repair.

We can see from the results of direct ballot initiatives that consumers want right to repair. They want the choice if they accidentally dropped and cracked the screen to buy a new one, get a repair from the manufacturer, an independent third party or even learn to do it themselves if they're feeling up to it!

So yes, consumers can want features over repairability but they can also be against barriers for their right to repair at the same time.

Kevin Cameron from Cycle World has written some of the most fantastic articles about these topics, in particular there's one that I'm struggling to find about the problems with solid camshaft mass when rpms started to get really high and resulted in cam oscillation and failure, so they were made hollow, only to then discover they got too hot, which led to making the sodium filled, and on and on.

Also a couple of great ones about the struggle to find alloys for radial engine cylinders that could flex without cracking. His writing is so insightful and concise!
Very cool. Although I own an LS, I've never touched an LS. The Sloppy Mechanics guy is impressive though.

Since a short block is mostly just a short block, I'll be interested in seeing if LS heads/intake manifold/headers takes off in the SBC community.
I don’t have an exact timeframe in my head and wrote things on the fly. The point is that Ubuntu is going perfectly fine and will continue to do so whereas windows bricked the system. I also think it’s common practice with year estimation to round up to the next year.
It is also very easy to talk about all of this in hindsight.

Prior to April 2020 I had 100% of my 401K in cash/equivalents.

In April 2020 I put half of that cash into stocks.

Now, of course, I kick myself and say I should have put most/all of it into stocks back then.

But that kind of "of course!" and "that was such a recognizable pattern!" talk is a lot easier in hindsight.

It's easy to forget what it was like at the time, and that it could have easily gone down even further. At the time, the cat was both dead and alive (market recovers vs. market falls further).
You may see principles, but I just see ego.
> If I have an empty hard drive and copy someone’s mp3 a thousand times on it, without permission, what is really lost?

But if it wasn't worth something, you wouldn't do it.

So the person that created it wants a certain value, and the person copying it wants to copy it but doesn't want to pay that value.
The fact that you don't have enough time to do both could be a red flag indicating that the business is going to be hard to scale up to the level you need.

Are there aspects of the work that can or should be automated?

Are there aspects of the work that should be offloaded to third party services to free you up to concentrate on the bits that bring in the money?

Are you charging enough? I ask because not charging enough to cover your needs is a common mistake. Increasing your rates might reduce the amount you need to scale.

Do you have enough saved up to endure a year or so of reduced income while you work out the problems of scaling?

Figure out the tactics. Plan for the transition. Don't just fling yourself into it. I don't say any of this to discourage you. I hope that, after some planning, you make the leap and I hope you do very well from it.

In a lot of hotels, getting to your room requires walking though a lobby that’s attended by staff and where there might be other visitors milling about. If you bring an additional guest to your room, those people might notice.

In a motel, the door to your room is probably facing a parking lot. It might be visible from the street, and less private in that sense, but there’s less possibility of somebody noticing who entered the room vs. who checked in.
Trust approaches, but never reaches, zero. In practice though, so few people run full nodes relative to the whole that trust is still not nearly as decentralized as it might appear. A few rough estimates from simple searches indicates that only 10% of about 1 million miners actually run a full node.

Further, while this article is about 2 years old, it indicates that many miners use outdated software that may have vulnerabilities. [0] Even assuming those expressed in the article have resolved, it may very well be the case that similar proportions of miners today aren't running the most recent software & are vulnerable to newer attacks.

Finally, while bitcoin may have ossified, I don't think that is has done so as a store of value (at least not year). A solid store of value should not fluctuate in value by 5%, 10%, 15% on a fairly regular basis.

If I wanted a good store of value, I would still be looking at the traditional option of gold or, at least over the long-term, real estate. Though I suppose if the world economic system every goes belly up, neither bitcoin, gold, or real estate will be of much use. In that case, the best store of value would be long-term shelf-stable food.

I clean forgot about AV1, since I don't follow the news in the space.

However, consider:

- H.264 has been around siince 2003 (so, 18 years).

- VP9 was released in 2013 (so, 8 years). Google basically forced everyone to adopt the codec by refusing to encode 4k videos in anything else

- AV1 was released in 2018. Only 3 years ago. Yay, a new shiny toy for Google. And Google now tries to force everyone to switch to it, or else? Google's own Android gained support for it only last year.

So, when is Google going to drop VP9 for videos and only encode them in AV1? And should everyone drop it in another 5 years for an AV2?
Chocolate, is in fact "protected like that." The Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) contains a section on Cocao, and foods must meet the legal requirements to be called milk chocolate, otherwise, they'd have to be called something generic a "confectionery" or given a brand name, like "Meelk-Shock-o-Lock®".

Lots of foods are regulated by the FDA or USDA. Mayo, yoghurt, butter, bread, etc, etc. If you search the FDA or USDA site, you'll find the requirements that must be met for a company to use such terms. That's why Miracle Whip is called a "dressing," in the USA instead of Mayonnaise.

The CFR contains a subsection specifically for frozen pies (though, one of the Trump administrations last acts was to gut this). Lemon bars must contain lemons, per food labeling regulations. Peanuts have a section too.

And yeah, industry lobbyists are largely the creators of legal definitions for foods. If you're a beef producer, you certainly don't want other companies to be able to sell ground up bugs as "ground beef" and undercut your prices or give consumers a bad impression of your product.

I will concede, tacos are not regulated.

You could probably cobble together a POP server on top of S3 pretty easily (e.g. using something like https://github.com/femto113/node-pop3-emitter which I threw together a couple years ago for a related purpose). I'm not sure if you can get it to work in Lambda though because the POP3 protocol needs sockets, but you could definitely get it to work in a simple container in Fargate (so still "serverless").
You got it. Thanks for the warning.
If they are in that position, you're right.

But that goes hand-in-hand with the aligned outcomes; it's best for Lambda if these people get good jobs afterwards, because they're more likely to pay the ISA in full.

If they don't, they're less likely, the risk is higher, and the ISA is worth less (to the investor).

The potential for bankrupcy is also a risk, which lowers the yield. Removing the risk of bankrupcy heightens it.

We could argue about the magnitute of these risks all day; I'm sure people significantly better at math than I am have done a lot of work here.

The way I did it was I saved up money every month and then I would go on the tax auctions and buy property at the courthouse for one third to one tenth of retail value around 15k for double wides and 30k for block houses, and then do house hacking put 5 people in each house efficiences at 600/month per room and did that until i made more per week than i made at my job, then quit, then wrote my own software and I make 1000x what i make by myself through my own SaaS and service sites, mostly automated, and use the cash to put new property... now i have over 500 renters and it runs by itself and 95% pay on time... its just a good passive income investment and i make my money back in less than a year from each investment... i also have a crew of guys thats work on two houses simultaneously getting them ready and once the rooms are setup, i have a waiting list so the rooms get rented the day they sre ready...
