This is an interesting article, but offers little concrete data. That grazing cows compete with other animals seems pretty obvious, okay, but to me the questions are: Is grass fed beef better or worse than traditional beef for the climate? Is it better or worse than chicken? Better or worse than soy? Is using "marginal" lands and competing with local wildlife better or worse (for the climate? for the ecosystem as a whole?) than getting the same calories by other means, e.g. more intensive agriculture on non-marginal lands?

Ask HN: Creating a niche integration SaaS in the age of Zapier – Worth It?
I'm looking for some problems to solve that I can turn into a profitable (non-VC backed) software business (and yes, I'm approaching it as a side project). I often see a lot of people create the same sub-optimal Zapier integrations for a tool I'm using (sub-optimal because this process really requires some visual feedback for it to be effective and reliable). When I have a conversation with influencers using these workflows (self-proclaimed "automation specialists"), they often say it's a fine system and normally that would be the end of story for me.
However, these people are consultants because they already know how to use tools like Zapier and are presumably maxing out their paid plans regardless. I was wondering if there is any point to build a tool that offers these integrations in a simple way requiring no workflow automation knowledge (perhaps someone has done something similar?).
I'm also having issues reaching out to the clients directly, so that could also be an issue that might kill the business as the consultants (which I hoped to get in as affiliate partners) aren't going to work as my distribution channel.
Would love to hear everyone's thoughts - thanks in advance!

You can always call up a financial institution and verify your identity via SSN and other documents. This should apply to Coinbase as well at least since exchanges were regulated so it's not a big difference anymore.

If you don't do that and leave the account dormant for too long then most institutions will attempt to contact you via any method they can until they get a current address. If they can't reach you after another period of time then they will/can liquidate your assets and send them your last known residence state's commerce department. The state will keep your money in your name until you or an inheritor claim it.

> Let the sheep have their facebook apps.

Those "sheep" (i.e. people who aren't crypto-nerds) are the people I mainly want to communicate with.

> Modern tech has also brought us strong open source tools. We have stronger encryption in any linux distro than any army had in the 90s. We have communication pathways (Tor) that defeat censorship. I can send an email today, encrypted then sent via Tor, that no government can censor, read or even detect that I have sent.

And those pathways are almost never used, except by people who have an unusual interest in the pathways themselves and people who want to use them to do ignoble and illegal things.

Also, those technologies aren't as powerful as you think they are. Any major government that cares to detect and block them can, and if they want to find out what you sent they can always hack your endpoint or beat you until you tell them. China is the proof of concept for that.
This myth is pedalled strongly in the recent documentary Kiss the Ground (on Netflix) with Woody Harrelson. It seems that this is Big Ag’s latest attempt to explain why meat eating can be good.

> The problem with flexibility with mixed on-prem and remote is the open plan offices. Open plan and mixed remote/on-prem are a nightmare combination.

It's not that hard of a problem to solve. Easily more of a solvable problem than telling everyone they either have to come into the office or work fully remote without giving a crap about the employees personal circumstances.

> I'd get to work, and right off the bat I'd be on calls with people who weren't working on prem. So I'm either that jerk on a call in the open plan office while everyone's trying to do heads-down work, or I'm scrambling to find a phone booth.

Sounds like your office needs more meeting spaces. That's as true a problem when you have everyone in the office as it is when you have teams of mixed office and remote working.

> So I'd end up spending half my days crammed into a phone booth at the office so I could meet with people who weren't there.

Why are you in so many meetings in the first place? Are you not an engineer? That sounds like a bigger problem than your office space.

> The office contributed zero to my productivity, it was just a miserable time hoping I could even find an available phone booth because there were a dozen other people on the office vying for one.

Oh right. So you're just making up bullshit exaggerations to justify why your preference of working from home should be FORCED on everyone regardless of their preference or personal circumstances. That's a real dick move imo. Why not let other people chose how they work best for themselves just like you have done for yourself?

> If we're going back to on-prem, even as an option, we should combine it with admitting that open plan was a mistake and doesn't work with the mixed remote/on-prem model.

It sounds like your office specifically might be a nightmare to work in. However not everyone's company office is a large open plan space with people from different teams mixed in together. In that I don't work in an open plan office (there's just ~15 engineers in the same office. The sales people have their own office, and so on and so forth).

I think the real problem here is that you specifically just want your own space and you want it at home. So anything that doesn't match that is going to be a point of complaint with you. That's fine for you but please don't assume your preferences should be enshrined as company policy for every Tom, Dick and Sally and in every other company. Please don't assume that what works for you should work for everyone.
I use LastPass’s Emergency Access feature for this.

You can designate people who can access your Vault, after a certain waiting period. If they request access prematurely, I can revoke it during the waiting period.

There are written instructions for my next of kin on what to look for in the Vault.

The main difficulty is if my next of kin forget their LastPass master password.

I’ve been thinking of distributing a key via a set of USB stick using Shamir’s secret sharing, with written instructions to use them to recover a backup of the Vault kept offline… but have not gotten around to this.

I take breaks for just 1-3 mins every 20 mins, get up walk away from the screen, make a coffee.

I never use a screen after I go to bed, bedroom is pitch black and I just listen to audio tapes.

I take a walk first thing in the morning to allow my eyes time to "warm up", then only use a screen after I've come back. Callouts might force the use but they're usually over within 20 mins.

Always get my eye checked out at an optician every 12 months, always buy the best reading glasses I can afford.

If I'm not working and I start getting a headache from gaming or coding, screens off for a couple of hours, get some fresh air.

I use a screen calibrator for my monitors to get the right colour, contrast and brightness. Adjust brightness to be comformtable for the light in the room.

Because each individual has never had less power than now. If we lived in a tribe of 15 people, we hold on average 1/15 of the power. In a medieval village of 200 people, we could easily organize the 150 people who are against that bad guy, invade the place where he lives, and kick him out of the village by force or teach him a lesson.

What are billions of us going to do now? As a group any action takes significantly more effort. Protesting to have any impact needs significant organization and involve millions. And even then, what's it gonna change but show up on the media? Anything else requires significant investment of one's time into organizing something. Precious time out of the little free time we have outside of work. The system is well made to protect the powerful. Power itself needs to be more decentralized, and get back closer to the people. But that doesn't work because we have countries with millions of people competing against each other. So there's no easy solution that I can see.

Perhaps some form of online voting and more agile democracy and communication between politics and people along with further decentralization.

Still, it's disheartening.

But will it reflect about itself then?
As someone who was using PayPal during all of the 2010s, they actually changed a lot. It is also worth noting that--until today, meaning they have lost he high ground and it arguably doesn't matter anymore as sane companies will chase the lowest price for a service that is a direct cut of revenue--they were always cheaper than Stripe (with bulk rates that kicked in sooner and micropayments pricing options), had a fully functional product (it was amazing how Stripe was getting people without offering auth/capture), and a safer mechanism for notification buffering. PayPal supported being a fully backend credit card processor in addition to their "express checkout" flow, and frankly did everything Stripe did better... except have complex documentation and no real help to do your integration. If anything I would claim that it was this documentation that bit them. (Hell: one chance they made was to build out an entire REST-API version of their service with OAuth and a bunch of other stuff in a direct attempt to compete with Stripe, but that wasn't actually the issue: they just look not cool and have documentation that felt daunting.)

I run a SMB with $1.2M in transactions per year through various online storefronts. Paypal/Stripe are the most common forms of payment, but to my surprise the split is 70%(Paypal), 30%(Stripe including Apple/GPay/Alipay). We see a consistent behavior that perhaps incidates Paypal is far easier to use than Stripe. I feel like the slightest friction in the choice between payment options and it will win. Paypal offers the easiest way to pay, perhaps even easier than Apple Pay. It is one click on the popup window. With Apple Pay, you gotta double click this awkward button on the side, then Face ID that doesn't work with the mask, followed by entering the PIN - the whole thing takes too long. It also doesn't work on most browsers and desktop computers (perhaps Apple Pay works on macOS with Safari). I thought about this a lot and tried to go through the details of the friction that leads to better conversion. Stripe has a better developer experience but it doesn't help the customer.

Stripe desparately needs a customer-facing account that can manage cards and payment methods. If it were my guess, Stripe is already working on this.

> I’ve often wondered why relational databases don’t have sum types.

It seems unlikely that relational databases would make the effort to add sum types whilst mainstream imperative languages don't have sum types. In turn that is probably because of a mistaken belief that subclassing was a sufficient means to achieve the same end. All is not lost, however. It's easy to simulate sum types using a field for the tag and multiple fields for the payload.

The syntax for that in raw SQL doesn't look nice but in a higher level query DSL it can look lovely!

Regardless what I'm really saying is that it's all probably smoke and mirrors on the client server (plus client UI). The server is probably configured to keep all messages anyway, and it gets "tombstoned" and not sent by the middle tier server. I don't know of course, but I was talking about how users are not really in control as they think they are.
