I disagree with both of your statements. Hypergrowth is a meaningless term and a startup is a type of company in a specific stage of its lifecycle. Running a company "like a startup" can be a thing, but that does not make the company a startup.
I framed it as a game with sides because it clearly is: you jumped into a discussion about a seemingly undeniable truth (vaccines work) with a bunch of evidence about... other stuff that clearly is aimed at the people who believe that truth, designed to (I guess) justify the disbelieve of the obvious truth, or undermine faith in it, or... something.

It's clear to me that you're on the "side" of "don't take the vaccine". Are you not? Are you vaccinated? If so, why argue against the data in the linked article?

“Doom” is not a neologism.

> However, trademarks generally have a "scope of protection" to apply to the goods and services that your company is involved with.

It doesn’t matter, the broadness of similar words and expressions is simply too big.

> Do you mean common words used together?

Words that are commonly used together.

>"General Electric" or "Master Card" or "Mountain Dew?"

As far as I know none of them are common collocations.

> It's just something Big Company lawyers to do get more billable hours.

Yeah, so it would be good to reduce the potential overlap of copyrights. Also, it is ridiculous to live in a world where some companies hold rights to use everyday expressions and ban other companies from using them.

With vaccines, we do extensive testing to ensure it does not have side effects and that it does not pose a threat to health of next generation.

But I am not so sure if that same analogy can be used with everything else which is not directly impacting human health. Companies invent things, they get greedy and lose the foresight of consequences of their actions. They lobby politicians to defend their own shady practices. The general public ends up paying the price.
This isn't terrible since it's possible that many apps providers can't afford the ads. But i think it's unacceptable unless the app owner is given a choice, and a clear cut choice with obvious opt in and opt out buttons. Also, it wouldn't hurt to make it clear to the consumer that Apple is paying for the ad.

Haven't read the article yet. That can probably be padded over with some reflection. I don't really use F# (it's on the list of things to learn when my current job cools down a bit, doing 80 hours a week right now), but I use reflection in C# all the time.

It's not too hard to iterate through all classes/functions/constructs in an assembly and create a cache. Additionally, the generic type parameters can be avoided by adding a parameter that looks like what you want to pull out. I'm on mobile, but you could make a library that does something like (excuse the C# syntax):

Lib.Cache(assembly);
var myFunc = Lib.Pull(myFunc => async (int a, string b) => "");

That could throw an exception if there's a naming conflict and it's not able to find the function with only the name and signature. A second parameter could take part of a namespace/class name in that case. This is pseudo code, but I'm pretty sure I could get something similar up and running.

Side note: If anyone is using F# and hiring, shoot me an email!

I don’t think this is true at all. AWS has a lot more in an org than “the bill is smaller.” There’s a restrictive factor when hiring if you move away from Google Cloud,Azure, and AWS.

What’s frustrating is that the people who insist you should only compare Sweden to its Scandinavian peers are the same who insist that the US or Europe should use have used remote islands in the Pacific as their pandemic model.

This goes the other way too, of course - people who are keen to compare Sweden to the UK instead of Denmark cry foul whenever New Zealand is brought up.

The problem though is that there’s no bulletproof explanation for why lockdowns were so effective in the rest of Scandinavia and less so elsewhere in Europe (or many American states for that matter). Without that, the counterfactual is still a bit of a question mark. If Sweden had adopted Denmark’s strategy, maybe they would’ve indeed come out looking like Denmark - or maybe they would’ve come out looking like the UK. Vaguely gesturing towards “they’re all Scandinavian” doesn’t have much explanatory power.

In your analogy you name two large brick-and-mortar retailers. Allow me to posit my own analogy: If Amazon is the Walmart of the web then who is the Costco? Who is the Target? There isn't any.

Retailers stick their neck out to put an item on the shelf because space is limited. The product is made. It's on the shelf. If it doesn't sell then someone loses money. If Equate brand sucks I can choose an alternative. If everything on the shelf sucks I can go to another store.

I am consistently infuriated by HN’s baffling insistence on supporting paywalled articles.

I’ve recently had a similar issue with the Toronto Star. Cancelling was a bloody nightmare.

Honestly - if you post a news article here to HN, it should be able to be read by everyone. Without having to hack around it.

Beyond the shady practices of these journalism subscription sites; it’s also just ethically on brand for HN - who’s largely part of the open source crowd - many of whom support Sci-Hub, etc - to post paywalled links.

dang has tried to defend their perspective themselves in comments to me personally; but I sincerely believe (and am allowed to have and express the opinion) - that it’s bullshit no matter what.

A lot of people fight the fight in this community that information should be free - and supporting shady journalism companies, and intentionally limiting readership by not auto-posting an non-paywalled alternative doesn’t really help anyone.
If we compare Sweden with Denmark it indeed looks bad with 3 times higher rate in Sweden. If we however compare region vs region, the numbers look different. Skåne, being the region next to Denmark with only a bridge separating the two, had similar deaths per million people as Denmark. If we look even closer, Malmö as the city on one side had lower rates than Copenhagen on the other side.

We need to answer three major question. 1: Malmö has the same lock down rules as the rest of Sweden, so why are the numbers so low compared to Copenhagen. 2: Why does Stockholm and the surrounding area have so high rate that it brings up the national average to be 3 times higher then Denmark? Finally 3: How does the lock downs relate to those two questions.

Finland made a smart move in the beginning of the pandemic. They locked down the capital with restricted movement in and out, keeping the initial spread low.

As I see it, Sweden made three mistakes. They should have locked down Stockholm. They should also have closed down the only subway Sweden has, located in Stockholm. They should have isolated the elder care workers who lived in Stockholm, many who used the subway system to reach the elder care homes going from elder care homes to elder care homes. Last they should have injected funds and medical supplies to the privatized elder care system, as many workers didn't even get enough time to wash their hands between patients.

I made the mistake of reinstalling macOS on my late 2015 rMBP using internet recovery. I found myself locked in a loop where I couldn't upgrade to the latest macOS because it required 2FA.

I called Apple Support and didn't tell me this information and simply said they can't bypass or disable 2FA. It was only by researching that I discovered this workaround.

This was one of the worst user experiences I have experienced on an Apple product.

Thank you for posting this - it's exactly the level of explanation I was looking for.

At the high end AWS was a huge win for "traditional enterprises" because it broke them free from being held hostage by their own internal IT bureaucracies.

Enterprises provided many of the things inside AWS but much, much worse.

I actually think the political revolution it (cloud) triggered was a bigger thing than the technical and engineering changes.

AWS is expensive compared to a machine under your desk but not so much compared to the fully loaded cost of (say) a VMware VM at a bank DC, which includes multi-year enterprise hardware & software commitments to make it go plus staff and admin costs.

The DC model choked off innovation that was not approved "from the top" and severely damaged agility.

This apples to oranges comparision always keeps coming up. Comparing AWS to a VPS/Physical Services provider is strange. AWS has more services than Hetzner has as employees. AWS bandwidth, computation has huge and unreasonable price, but there are also superb services in AWS like S3, SQS, DynamoDB, Lambda.

All major cloud providers have similar computation pricing. As much as I love Hetzner, they are not a major cloud provider.

Again, at some point we're all going to have a big reckoning as to why this kind of discourse you're engaging in became so prevalent.

It's not like we don't have an idea how to manage or understand infectious diseases. The linked article is about an extraordinarily effective control mechanism. Yet... horse paste.

I mean, sure, if the band copies the game in, say, a video, Id would have a separate case, but that's completely independent of the name. Just like with your Lepin example, Lego isn't going after them for their name, they're suing because the box and product design look exactly like a Lego box (WTF is "STAR WNRS" even supposed to mean?).

Looking at just the name, Id might have a better case if the name was "DOOM Band" or something like that. But Doomscroll is taken from a word that doesn't even evoke the video game or even have anything to do with the same concept of "doom" that the game evokes.
That's not what the comment you're replying to is talking about.

Regarding your paper notepad, I keep paper by my laptop also, it's a nice medium. But seriously, to think it's protecting you against IP espionage is (a) tinfoil hat territory and (b) almost certainly a massive overestimation of your IP.

I have never heard of AppRunner, thanks for posting this!

I've used Fargate as I thought it was the easiest/cheapest route, but according to the notes on chart:

"From 2020-2021 the best option was/is ECS and Fargate".

"Maybe from 2023-ish AppRunner will become the best option. It's a preview service right now but on the path to be awesome!"

"It may not totally take over ECS on Fargate, but it will take over most common usecases."

And according to this chart, AppRunner apparently is the service I ought to be using for most of my apps.
> that many apps providers can't afford the ads

The impacted apps are “high value” - they make both sides a lot of money.

I imagine reviewing a pull request for a repo like this and shudder in horror. I've never understood a significant piece of software in my life to the degree that I'd be confident having it control the contents of someone's bloodstream. I know many programmer's don't have the luxury of having only bugs that can't kill people. I'm just glad I'm not one of them. With the best of my intentions and skills, every app I've written has ultimately been a house of cards, supportable only by extensive testing, that can and does fall over at a stern thought. I'd like to write truly robust software but it doesn't look like one of my practical options at the moment.

> I don’t think this is true at all. AWS has a lot more in an org than “the bill is smaller.”

The bill is not only astronomically high but it's also unpredictable and uncontrollable. Which added valued do you believe justifies this?

Meanwhile, keep in mind that the likes of Dropbox gave AWS a try but in the end learned from their experience and opted to migrate out after only 5 years.

> There’s a restrictive factor when hiring if you move away from Google Cloud,Azure, and AWS.

I disagree, considering that in AWS you either run vanilla VMs from EC2, or containerized solutions in ECS/EKS. Either way you are already better off using either your local VMs or your company's kubernetes deployment.
AppRunner does not have VPC support since the launch. Otherwise great service.
Ive seen what H1b does to those in it from India, they never stand up for themselves. The IT guys from Wipro would tolerate the worse kind of verbal abuse from superiors and this established an acceptable culture of abuse the Indian management felt it was acceptable to scream at me. Worse the client Capital One when they tired of a project let everyone go and they sent everyone back to the subcontinent. H1b is a shitty system and any one who uses or promotes it is evil.

can you explain to me this attitude, which i see a lot? Obviously the entire reason for a companys' existence is to make money why should we expect anything else? Also this is true for every company in history. Of course we must demand companies meet minimum moral standards such as not using slaves (which would be unthinkable today in 2021 cough) but those must be imposed on them by law. This is a genuine question please feel free to enthusiastically disagree with me and explain why i'm wrong.

[Edit: I should clarify that i meant that a company needs no other reason to exist, not that a ethical company is impossible]
In my experience the productivity cost on a larger company of physical servers is massive. The IT department is a monopolistic provider of compute services to other departments. At the same time IT competes with those departments for overall company budget. Needless to say the result of these mismatched economic and political incentives is a mess.

These sort of “over sensitive PCR tests”, “died with not of” claims are silly. You start peeling away at them even a little - why are hospitals overwhelmed? Why are there so many excess deaths? - and any explanations start becoming conspiratorial (“there’s no actual overwhelmed hospital, it’s all fearmongering from the media”) or completely implausible (“hundreds of thousands of excess deaths, in numbers that line up with positive PCR tests, were actually caused by lockdowns”).
