B2B companies are an obvious example. Find expensive problem, solve it, add sales team. Iterate.

DDOG comes to mind as a recent very successful example. Salesforce as well. AWS falls into this category. As does Twilio. Huge huge space :)

Personally I like working on B2C SaaS. That path is harder.

B2C usually takes the shape of a freemium model. Strava is a good example here, as is Robinhood. Uber and Lyft are here also.

There’s also the indie/freelance market that sits between B2B and B2C – consumers who think of themselves as a business.

Examples here include ConvetKit, the Adobe suite, Quickbooks, Shopify, Teachable, etc. Again you’re charging users for value provided, based on the revenue they can generate using your platform.

I used to work for an EdTech company, that was nice. We had almost a gym membership model where we wanted you to use the app as little as possible to increase margins. Currently working with a health care startup and that’s taking off like a rocket.
This is why I come to HN daily. Thanks for the very interesting read.
I'll add to this that resolution is not the only metric by which you can judge a telescope. One major advantage that space telescopes have is that their environment is much more stable, making calibration (for example, of the flux of a source) easier. On Earth, the weather changes from night to night, or even from minute to minute. You're effectively looking through a constantly changing, semi-opaque filter - the atmosphere.

Ground-based telescopes have their own advantages, like the fact that they can be much larger and therefore can collect much more light.

This is just to say that both space- and ground-based telescopes are useful, and have their own strengths.
I lived next to the runway for about an year. I can actually seem the apartment from some of the photos. It was an interesting place.

It's really just after the border with Spain so if you stay in the country you don't need to cross it every day, but more people work in Gib than live so there is quite a good amount of traffic.

As with most things, you get used to it and it just becomes normal very quickly. The best thing was probably the fact that "I'll pick you up at the airport" is a 5 minutes affair rather than a few hour.

Another interesting sight of Gibraltar is the Sunborn Hotel, which is pretty much ship without motor that acts as hotel/casino.

That's a bit odd. I used a raspi (1GiB aarch64 sbc with WiFi and SD card) as a desktop in college and while it was unpleasant to have Firefox and LibreOffice open at the same time I don't think I ran into anything that flat out didn't load.

This is like saying that no one is ever allowed to change their mind, and also that the person's point is wrong because they benefited by the very thing they are criticizing? That's not a logical argument, that's a straight-up ad hominem--character assassination, to be honest--and a complete distraction.

There are no plans to discontinue this practice. Many people believe SS will not be meaningfully available to them at retirement decades from now, which is understandable skepticism, but is not a reflection on how retirement is intended to work in the US.
It also eliminates a key benefit of capitalism: competition.

It is probably what allows Amazon to continue to exit as such a cesspool of fraudulent reviews counterfeit goods, shady sellers, and painfully bad search functionality. A near competitor could have pushed them to improve, but their moat is now too big except for certain niches, so we're stuck.
How long can it stay stable at that point? Does it have thrusters to keep a station there? If so, how long is the fuel for them provisioned for?

Does use of the thrusters impact the sensors that the telescope uses?
Seeing the headline, I thought that can't be right; there are plenty of airport runways built on overpasses over major highways.

The possibility of an at-grade crossing between a public road and an international airport runway was not even in the realm of imagination for me!
I didn't downvote you.

You were probably downvoted because I've seen this question posed a thousand times by people who weren't asking in good faith attempts to learn new things.
I would think that a cheaper (or multiple cheaper) versions could be made if they don't require the long lifespan and reliability that previous launch costs inflicted. Once Starship is going, and if it proves to be as low cost as the current projections, I could see multiple space telescopes being designed cheaply for a launch every year, each one designed in a narrow configuration that serves a specific purpose. But I really don't know what all goes into making a space telescope so expensive currently.
> No matter what good engineers think they will achieve in the Trust and Safety / Risk divisions.

You can have all the "Trust and Safety" effort you want, but when the core architecture of the system is built to reward the craziest stuff, you're still going to get a ton of crazy.

It's like building a paintball park inside a nuclear reactor, in the middle of a WW2 minefield. No matter how many "Safety" staff you have running around in orange vests and hard hats, people are still going to get hurt.

First a not so nice response:

Humans also spend their entire existence merely surviving. Once they stop doing that we generally don't consider them to be human.

Perhaps a somewhat nicer disagreement:

Lots of animals show some behavior that is not directly related to their immediate survival. Lots of young animals play, they can only do that because they do not have to be concerned with their immediate survival.

> "We are demanding an end to the shadow-banning, a stop to the silencing, and a stop to the blacklisting, banishing, and cancelling that you know so well," he said.

Is this an instance of shadow-banning? My understanding is shadow-banning is when a user thinks they're contributing, but nobody else (except admins) sees their contributions. I think that's how it's used on Reddit, at any rate.
I feel like this is an all-eggs-in-one-basket mission. If it fails to launch, we have nothing.

Why not build many JWSTs, surely the cost per unit would go down, and launch more than one?
Yes, they aren't the same but can be applied to a similar end goal.

It doesn't completely shift the issue to later in the season. Yes, it will shift some of it, but you still have the night/day average effect. This can still be beneficial, especially if in a shady location.

Barns can be drafty if you are talking about wooden barns. Stone barns, or stone foundation barns built into a hillside, can actually be cooler inside than outside during the heat of the day. That's part of why horse owner sometimes leave their animals in the barn during the day and turn them out at night (typical summer schedule).
1. If they have to get me for each buy, I have power to gatekeep. And they need to report to me every buy by design. It is clearly not the same thing, it is clearly less practical.

It is completely different then having own money - which in fact allow all of us to pay when we want what we want as long as we have money.

Nobody is saying kids will die if they dont have own card. They wont die if they dont have books or toy cars either. But it makes perfect sense for familly to want those things, no matter how much people yell on clouds about kids not living as if it was 1836.

2. The point was to respond to babysitter assumption to make clear what I mean .
I fail to see the difference. Private contracts often go over budget. The F-35 itself is full of privately contracted parts. Many public/private partnerships contracts are even no bid, meaning they are essentially uncompetitive. Whether the government hires people directly to do a job or whether they contract it out is equally distortionary. By allocating tax dollars to a public rocket lab or to a private rocket company you are increasing the demand for rocket engineers and thus creating a "rocket engineer" jobs program.
I worked on algorithm visualizers in the past and found the effort necessary to get something better than static pictures and text to be immense. Every single combination of data structure and algorithm needs to have a semi-custom designed visualizer in order for it to be easier to understand and appealing.

A human tutor can take pauses when something isn't clear, but a visualizer is forced to choose between checking for the user's understanding and not interrupting the flow.

There is no such thing as nullifying 230 protection. It doesnt have a clause on how you "lose protection."

The law says "any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable."

Otherwise objectionable is a pretty broad brush to take down anything you want, THAT YOU DONT LIKE. And thats the point. If you build a platform you can host whatever you want, and if you take down things you dont like, that doesnt make you the speaker of what remains. What would a "bad faith" removal of non-objectionable content even look like? Removing it just to annoy the person, basically "don't pick on people for fun?"

Imagine if youtube took down spam, and in doing so became the speaker of every other video it hosted.

Not only that but there is a huge rock cliff face (aka "The Rock") towering over the runway only perhaps 300m or so (?) to the side of the runway and water at both ends. Quite dramatic approach and landing compared to most airports that are typically in the middle of somewhere really flat.

That said I was mildly disappointed by gib - I thought it would be much more glamorous than it was considering its Mediterranean location and reputation for finance and gambling businesses. It kinda felt like Margate-in-the-med.

The runway of the main airport on the Shetland Islands (Sumburgh Airport[0]) also crosses one of the main roads (A970[1]). Access is controlled by a level crossing with barriers closed whenever a flight is taking off or landing. If you hire a car at the airport you get to drive over the runway (when the barriers are open) which is an unusual experience.

Average dev salary at my org is north of 100k, but I do work in the US so lets say we have a developer earning half that. At $125 a month, it works out to be around 3% of monthly compensation (not including taxes and benefits). This only has to improve productivity by a tiny amount to be worth it.

We're kind of already doing scoring in that CVEs are usually graded on severity, but researchers are motivated to inflate the severity of CVEs they find. So the question you'd need to tackle is how does one apply a universal standard to measure the real impact of a CVE?

Next.js – A Walkthrough Using next-i18next and Google Translate
That's the one. You have to remember the rest of the context as well. This is what Trump told the mob before he sent them to the Capitol:

I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so. Because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election. All he has to do, all this is, this is from the number one, or certainly one of the top, Constitutional lawyers in our country. He has the absolute right to do it. We're supposed to protect our country, support our country, support our Constitution, and protect our constitution.

States want to revote. The states got defrauded. They were given false information. They voted on it. Now they want to recertify. They want it back. All Vice President Pence has to do is send it back to the states to recertify and we become president and you are the happiest people.

Mike Pence is going to have to come through for us, and if he doesn't, that will be a, a sad day for our country because you're sworn to uphold our Constitution.

They want to recertify. But the only way that can happen is if Mike Pence agrees to send it back. Mike Pence has to agree to send it back.

The radical left knows exactly what they're doing. They're ruthless and it's time that somebody did something about it. And Mike Pence, I hope you're going to stand up for the good of our Constitution and for the good of our country. And if you're not, I'm going to be very disappointed in you. I will tell you right now. I'm not hearing good stories.

The Republicans have to get tougher. You're not going to have a Republican Party if you don't get tougher. They want to play so straight. They want to play so, sir, yes, the United States. The Constitution doesn't allow me to send them back to the States. Well, I say, yes it does, because the Constitution says you have to protect our country and you have to protect our Constitution, and you can't vote on fraud. And fraud breaks up everything, doesn't it? When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules.

So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do. And I hope he doesn't listen to the RINOs and the stupid people that he's listening to.

If you're keeping track, Trump's claim is that the election was stolen through fraud, and the only legal remedy at this point is for Mike Pence to reject the certification of the election and to send it back to the states. Trump tells his followers that if Pence does this, then the Presidency will be won, and that that Mike Pence needs to do this because he swore an oath to uphold and protect the Constitution.

A traitor is someone who betrays their country, which is exactly what Trump is charging here. He told his followers that Pence refusing to certify the election is tantamount to breaking his oath to protect the country and Constitution.

Trump tweets this during the insurrection, when he should have been Tweeting to calm things down. His followers got that message in real time and gave them further animus to find Pence. You can see it in the chronological videos NYT and Washington Post stitched together. The implication wasn't lost on them.

I don't know, I don't think putting cameras in minors' rooms is going to keep them safe. That just screams exploitation to me. Either Tencent is hacked, Tencent accidentally gathers those images, or someone hacks the cameras because now you have millions of people that leave their cameras facing them at all times. None of those are a great situation and the likelihood of each of those happening isn't low.

This is without even getting into a discussion about government monitoring citizens through cameras in their homes. That is quite literally the premise of 1984. Well I should take that back, the premise was the gov could watch you at any time, not that they actively are.

Interesting idea. How would you add sqlite bindings to bash? Via a plugin?
Your comments make no sense to me in relation to Google. Google of all companies seems to follow this rule of no distractions. which of their apps/services does anything to distract and waste your time? At least for me gmail, photos, docs, Android, maps, are all good stewards of not distracting me.

Compare to Twitter that's always trying to get me to follow people they want me to follow ans giving me no way to opt out of types of tweets I don't care about like "so-and-so liked:"

Same with Facebook. My feed is full of stuff I don't care about like "so-and-so commented:"

Instagram is the worst in that sometime in the last 12 months my feed switched from only posts by my friends to just th newest posts by my friends followed by Instagram shovelling popular crap at me in an attept to get me waste more time on the app

Other apps like Uber, Lyft send me notification ads I can't opt out of except to turn off all notifications at an OS level.

Dating apps like Tinder waste my time everyday sending me a notification to "Plese Use the app today". I can't turn that off and turning off notifications at an OS level effective makes the app useless.

The only Google property that might arguably be a distraction would be YouTube with it's ads but unlike all the other services YouTube actually provides a "pay for no ads" option which lots of HNers wish other services provided

AFAICT this presentation or at least its ideal has been upheld by Google
