I haven’t looked at the filing in detail yet, but I would guess expanding their physical store footprint is burning money and the source of loss. They are in the expansion/growth phase so I would not expect profitability until either runway runs out or growth slows.
Sounds like you are agreeing with me then? I'm not saying no handlebars at all, just that if you want to turn right it doesn't seem to actually be necessary to slightly move the handlebars left first, which is the claim that is often made when this discussion happens.

My understanding is that this is significantly more controversial if it involves removing private or employer-provided healthcare. A "public option" is something the current president, Biden, supported. And he's the president, so obviously not a pipe dream.

I think one way "poorly worded" can be interpreted is in the sense that choosing words poorly can leave the audience with an idea that was not intended. By replacing "poorly worded" with "racist/misogynist/ableist/transphobic/etc", we skip the question of "Did this person say what they really mean?" and jump straight to "This person thinks a bad thing and needs to be punished". I think this is exactly the mentality that the author thinks is trampling democratic discourse, because it causes some to seek retribution before they understand what the person they are retaliating against was trying to say.
I agree with those who write that your site is incomplete in terms of usability.

The common argument against that is that the 30% also goes to actually developing iOS - you could envision the margin Apple makes on every iPhone as one that goes towards the R&D costs of developing the hardware, while the post-sale revenue goes towards the post-sale costs of developing iOS (and all the updates they test/push out for 5+ years after the device is released).

A "Garryowen" is very high, but not that long, kick. It's a kick where the intent is to have your own team catch it. Let's say you are the fullback and you are facing a wall of approaching opposition, charging at you. All of your team are ahead of you, too, so they are of no use. Blocking is illegal.
The opposition are not allowed to tackle you if you don't have the ball, so you kick it up high, over their heads, and run past them, catch it, and carry on running. The opposition's inertia will keep them going past the ball (and you) so when you regain the ball, you'll have a clear field ahead of you.

That's the dream.

The reality is you now have a field of fast, heavy, people running toward the same spot on the field, all looking straight-up at the ball that is now 50ft in the air, unaware they are about to collide in a wind-taking, bone-crunching crash.
The same thing that's preventing us from growing all our vegetables at the point of consumption with urban farming: it's a waste of valuable space! Put the people in the cities and the windmills out to sea, where they belong.
how does the title matter? if the work is interesting and the pay is as desired?
I ordered a couple of styles a few years ago. They seemed incredibly comfortable but both didn't fit properly due to the lack of half sizes so they were returned.

I guess it hasn't affected their valuation much though.

It looks like there are too many CC-XX licenses and they talk about incompatibility. This is the same issue I have with OSI and their "open source" licenses.

For software there are IMHO a very small set of relevant licenses: MIT/BSD (IMHO we don't need both), GPL/LGPL, and regular commercial licenses. It bothers me that there are other free software licenses like Apache and MPL (probably bothers me because I don't yet understand the differences) but it is still a relatively small set. I suppose AGPL is also a reasonable desire for some people given the rise of SaaS, but even throwing that in the mix results in incompatibility with a lot of code.
I was surprised and have no way of knowing either way.

This is very close to my experience. I played rugby for 10 years and had multiple concussions (2 that knocked me out).

After one concussion I went through a period where I would get emotional and angry, especially when drinking (i.e. have 2 beers, black out, and then black-in crying).

I quit drinking about 2 years ago (I'm in my early 30s) and the mental clarity has been incredible. I had a tendency to drink heavily when I drank (about weekly) and so if you're struggling with memory issues I'd suggest giving sobriety a chance for a month or two to see if it makes a difference.
This article is pretty condescending towards startup engineers. There’s a lot more to scope of responsibility than the number of users your decisions will impact. As a founding engineer you have the success of the entire business on your shoulders. Fuck up and your coworkers are out of a job.

Small companies pay less because they have less capital. Titles change because different sized organizations require different org structures and your title probably won’t map 1:1. It’s pretty simple.

EBITDA in a non-comparison context is meaningless. EBITDA is only useful when you're comparing ownership of two like businesses.

What is interest, if not an expense? What is tax, if not an expense? What is depreciation if not an expense? Alright, amortization, yeah, that one could get added back in – I buy that.

Whenever someone starts talking about EBITDA, check your wallet.

Sorry, I was getting a bit frustrated, because I kept repeating my position, and you kept saying it affected semantics, whereas if it's UB either way, it hasn't really affecting semantics officially. Yeah I'm done too. I don't enjoy arguing, and Rust in particular never brings out the best in me.
They should unbundle. At the moment, doing business on the app stores entails so many things, but they can break them apart and allow developers to purchase them individually:

1. Put your app on the store. (but only reachable via direct link)

2. Have Gapple verify that your app does not represent any obvious security threat. (or else warn users upon install)

3. Make your app appear in search. (organically)

4. Make your app eligible as a recommendation. (organically)

5. Use Gapple payments.

6. Have your app appear in search. (guaranteed placement)

7. Have your app appear as a recommendation. (guaranteed placement)

(and probably many others)

I'm not sure how well that would go down with developers, but I view it as a more honest way for them to create a developer offering. If they want to then go ahead and bundle some of these and offer a discount for developers purchasing more of them, so be it, but unbundling allows developers to pick & choose the value they want provided.
the level of bureaucratic nightmare outlined in this article remind me of a slogan i casually use during refinements/planning in relation to said overhead of red tape (which all orgs have, even startups, to some extent) "When guiderails attack!"
I'm not so sure that'll be a good thing for safety (collapsed scrums aside).

It'll eliminate a role for stocky, relatively slow moving 18 stone players specialising in scrum technique, and create more roles for fast, athletic 17 stone players specialised in blasting opponents out the way. It'll also mean the ball's in play for longer, resulting in more impacts overall.
Bikeshare Ridership Exceeds Pre-Pandemic 2019 High for Fourth Straight Month
OK, so serious question: what's the cool tech in Allbirds? I'm willing to buy that the wool sneakers are technologically innovative, but my gut instinct is that the S-1 is on HN because, somehow, we've all become convinced that direct-to-consumer businesses are "tech adjacent."

Like, what about that DTC toothbrush company? Or those guys who sell disposable razors? Or the online viagra salesmen whose ads are all over the MTA? Somehow, investors have become convinced these are tech companies ("democratizing access to consumer goods?") that should be valued at whacky p/e ratios, instead of yet another online commodity retailer.
It’s only bad if this benefits Samsung, opening an App Store with high fees. Competition should lower Payment fees, now it’s a cartel or duopoly.
On the other side of the coin, my ex-wife continued to get diaper/formula/etc ads for years after our miscarriage.
Out of fairness, their gross margin is 51%, so they're covering their COGS comfortably.

They're spending a lot on operating stores and advertising, where the input-output math is less clear/predictable. You could also believe that those stores stores will scale up in efficiency as people know that they're there and leave their house post-COVID.
I was under the impression that the App Store was a value-addition for iPhone customers. Its a reason why people buy iPhones, after all! Apple's commission should be covered in operating system fees, which of course there are none, because its all rolled into the hardware, which of course costs $1400 with 200% margins.

Well, ok, maybe that's an extreme take. Short of that, certainly, developers would possibly pay some kind of annual fee to gain publishing access to the store? Maybe a setup like this could work? Wait, (puts finger to ear) I'm getting some new information, it turns out... they already do this?

Yes, as changes like this roll out in more countries, inevitably, their ability to collect commissions will get "weird". Its their own damn fault! Apple and Google were the ones who picked a rotten, cursed way to collect revenue. They'll need to figure it out; its their lunch.

How long has apt, snap, npm, whatever, ran with zero revenue? Epic and Microsoft run stores at, what, 12%? Don't start with me about how "they're incumbents, they have to price lower"; yeah, they're pricing nearer to cost instead of using their monopoly market power to justify arbitrarily higher prices! Application distribution is not that hard. Its not that expensive. Its a fucking GET request on an object that can be easily CDN'd, with some light versioning on top; just think about how many package managers Linux has, then tell me Apple needs to make a billion bucks a year to justify keeping the ten people who maintain it around. Its a value-addition to the OS and for your users who paid $1400 for a new phone; not a line of business. Anyone who says differently is trying to sell you something (and Apple is definitely trying to sell you something).
And this raises the other point. If I license my software under a non-free license such as CC-BY-NC-SA, there is absolutely nothing stopping me from licensing it additionally under a different license. I can do that if I'm the copyright owner.

It becomes more difficult when there are multiple contributors to the software, and therefore multiple copyright owners. You would have to obtain the permission of all of the copyright holders before you can do that.

There are ways around this. For example, people submitting contributions to a project can be asked to agree to hand over copyright of their contributions, though this might not fly in all jurisdictions. Alternatively, all contributors could be asked to agree to delegate licensing decisions to the project lead team.
Where is it from?
That's what I meant, sorry. Japanese Jiu Jitsu isn't really full contact.

You get ancillary knocks and bumps in BJJ (catching a knee in side mount, or screwing up a takedown and bonking yourself), and while they're not that bad, after a lifetime of playing for fun, it was time to stop.
Their footwear is comfortable and affordable. Their core attribute is being "greener" using biological material (not so different in this respect from Rayon) in some of their manufacturing input...

But... their footwear wears out quite quick (the soles esp.), so overall, I do not know that if you were to study its carbon footprint over two years, if they would actually come ahead compared to conventional footwear.
It's quite clear that during 2020, the case numbers flattened then declined once the lockdown restrictions reached a certain level. (I live in Melbourne so experienced it first hand).
Other Australian cities and NZ have been able to contain outbreaks with short lockdowns, and have been able to keep the countries Covid-free, more than any other countries. There is no other plausible explanation for the suppression of the virus that was achieved in 2020.

(For what it's worth, with emergence of the delta strain, suppression measures are not working so well, and the government policies are having to adjust, which is starting to happen now in Victoria).
Google is a really bad point of normalization for remote work metrics. Google has consistently emphasized working together in offices as a central strategy and has spent vast amounts on physical facilities and also transportation infrastructure such as their own bus lines in order to support all of this. Even other large companies cannot compete with this level of emphasis on office space.
It's all probably just a sign of the shifting attitudes in the past few generations. Public is shifting away from liberalism in favor of popularity, and away from the christian-atheist value of forgiveness in favor of block-lists. The digital world has definitely played a part here - block lists were not possible in the analog world which forced people to reevaluate each other even if they still found each other abhorrent. But this is probably the new normal, which inevitably means erosion of collective institutions in favor of atomized ones. This will never be fixed, the mob behavior is here endemic, as there is no force rolling it back. What will happen is probably a fracturing of public opinion (and democracy itself) into separate, safe but insulated bubbles.
Apple does ask you when you set your phone up if you want to share analytics or not. I consider that opt-in, since you're given the choice up front.

> The argument is as wrong then as it is now

No, it’s not wrong. The GPL does restrict what a developer can do with code. It’s not an invalid argument. But like most/all arguments, how you interpret it depends on your point of view. Like you said, if you view freedom from the developer’s POV, you choose BSD/MIT. If you view it from the POV of the commons, you choose GPL.

It’s not wrong, but it is a choice.
Do you find it gets hairy when you're having to work with teams and different people are responsible for researching, designing, developing different states?

I agree personal projects are easy to juggle in my mind, it's more that when teams get involved... things seem to sprawl really quickly.

is that something you've experienced?
Oh yeah, I actually do that. Coding while sitting on a high tree or on a steep rock, only reachable by climbing.

Why I do this?

Well, certainly not because of attention seeking, rather the opposite.

No one bothers my flow state there and the elements bring inspiration.
It doesn't take months to get familiar with Emacs. You can be quite effective after an hour, although I've been using it for a couple of decades and I'm still improving.

I feel like of all the tools I've learnt to use, Emacs has had the greatest return on investment.
When you have inadequate leadership at the top, and a President who is clearly suffering from diminished capacity, you get these snap decisions to leave in the middle of the night. There is absolutely zero excuse why helicopters and other equipment were not destroyed. Someone made the decision to leave suddenly, without a plan, and put their faith in the gentle and peace loving Taliban.

The worst fact is that like most major policy failures, few if any will lose their jobs.
I came to Go from Python and while I know they're not exactly similar, I view Go as a "better Python" for certain tasks. I also continue to use Python for many things. One aspect of Go I love is how it handles concurrency. To try to get the same benefit from Python is just not worth it.
Boxing is one of the biggest sports in the world. Rugby is pretty niche.
That is very possible, and I’d say the most likely answer here. It still doesn’t look great, but it’s not the kind of thing you’d expect to compromise the judge’s impartiality.
hmm maybe it has to be a linux based system or something these days. Also, don't kids always want to play the latest ?
Why the South Is Decades Ahead of the West in Wildfire Prevention
The geographic lines of division today have changed tremendously since the Civil War. The divide is now more rural versus urban rather than north versus south. In the last presidential election rural California was mostly "red" while southern cities were mostly "blue".

Fake populism.
> "Do not be offended if someone suggests you are not being reasonable."

I don't think they consulted with a psychologist before coming up with this "principle".

Telling someone they're not being reasonable is one of the worst things you can do in any conversation. And if you feel offended by it, that's entire normal and, well, reasonable.

Telling someone not to be offended is similarly completely counterproductive.

When you're in a difficult situation, you should generally avoid focusing on what you perceive to be personal characteristics of the other person, or on telling them how they "should" be responding -- and instead focus on objective realities that you can use shared problem-solving techniques on.
Why would you assume they are getting all browsing data?
It sure is a good thing that externalities don't exist.
A large egg is 78 calories. Over the course of a year a single egg per day adds up to 8 lbls. However, many people are able to maintain a remarcably consistent weight without thinking about it.

This suggests that humans have an innate ability to regulate body weight. The obesity epidemic can't be explained by a simple calorie analysis; it needs to account for why our innate ability to regulate body weight isn't working.

At this point, I think it is pretty well established that added sugar is a significant culprit, so focusing on soda is still probably reasonable.
Good deflect, but it completely ignores the point - I and many others were insulted for being against voting machines.

Also - which is true?

* only a sliver of the population even cared

* it was the liberal position back then

Your personal experience of your thoughts is not in any way related to the statement: "Odd how that was a liberal position at the time, and nobody called them names." They are just a tangential anecdote.

Since you do somehow think anecdotes are super duper relevant though:

I was an adult for bush/kerry. I remember too. Things were very different on the surface, but the divide was there then too - it was deep and it was pervasive. I remember coming out of a screening of 'Fahrenheit 9/11' and being yelled at by a crowd of people who thought I was a 'dirty liberal' and 'scumbag' for even seeing it. I remember having people threaten me because I was against the Iraq war and Afghanistan occupation. I remember being told my volunteer work to help underserved communities get access to the internet was pointless because "those people will never learn". The sides and arguments haven't changed - what has changed is the volume. The language of "us vs them" hasn't changed. The ignorant argument style of "here's my one personal viewpoint as proof that you are wrong" hasn't changed. The talking heads are still east coast liberal elites in an ivory tower (or fascist assholes just spewing lies and stirring up hate).

Perhaps my experience is an outlier. Perhaps you are just doing that "good old days" thing. Either way, neither of our stories have anything to do with the very specific point you replied to.
We find that design decisions like forcing data scientists to code UI callbacks are big limiters to adoption, which is intuitive as that's pretty close to telling them to write JavaScript in Python. Same thing for styling ("CSS in Python".) They can in theory, but rather spend time on other things.

So far, the only low-code PyData framework we saw that avoids most "JS in Python" is StreamLit. However, even there, it is still awkward in practice, so we still see limited adoption by folks who are fine with notebooks, so rarely goes beyond a champion. So there is room to grow.
Problematic is often a weasel word for "causes difficult emotions"
Or it might lead to the conclusion that there are conflicting freedoms and reducing freedom may be unavoidable due to their conflicting nature instead of being inherently wrong. Making these kinds of decisions a balancing act based on which freedoms we value more or seem more apropriate.

That would reduce the usefulness of the word "freedom" as absolute good though.
Unfortunately I'm finding this sort of us-vs-them mentality starting to creep up even around HN, even though the guidelines suggest to assume good faith.

It's particularly weird when you play devil's advocate on some topic (which is really just a tool to promote evaluating topics from a different perspective) and people start jumping at you with pitchforks assuming you're "against" them.

Last year, some thinktanks were saying that Trump giving voice to far-right was dangerous precisely because it shifted narratives in ways that extremists from both sides would start to feel validated and come out of the woodwork, and now here we are. I've read about a similar trend regarding portrayal of China in western media and their sentiment towards us in return. Frankly it's everywhere now.

On the one hand we try to teach our kids that calling each other names and escalating fights leads nowhere, but then we turn around to look at social media and it feels like people never got that memo themselves. I'm always trying to avoid falling into that trap. A quote from Dalai Lama that always stuck with me is "I'd rather be kind than right, you can always be kind". There's a bunch of other similar quotes, and it's interesting that a lot of them are about self-improvement (ironically, self-improvement the same spiritual aspect that people criticize "religious" zealots for ditching nowadays)
