Most were a while ago (hence the complacent part), but I made a hosting panel (those were popular little over 10 years ago) and sold that (made well over 100k$ in a few months), hosting company hosting millions of sites/apps, a proprietary CMS company, a company that sold games related stuff, a dating site, a PoS system+hardware and a bunch more things. They were all side projects at the time besides the CMS company (which managed to get to 400 staff before I sold) and all ran almost automatically after the onramp efforts. Also, and this seems a weirdo thing here on HN, if I had partners/co-founders (and with most I did), for almost all of these goes that I have never seen or even voice talked with them. I did not know them before, we met online and just assumed trust. We made good money just over text chat. And that's how I ran the CMS Corp as well (as cofounder/cto). I want to do that again in 2022.

When I studied econ at uni, NYC taxi medallions (along with NYSE stock exchange seats) were a classic example of monopoly-rents pricing in the curriculum. It's interesting to see that asset bubble entirely extinguished.

Because of the previously-reliable valuation of medalions, their cost, and the value to both investors and owner-operators in having medallions, taxi medalion debt relief has actually been a major issue in NYC, with bailouts offered. This from November:

All US states (I think) have some statute of limitations on debt collection, although each state is different. After this amount of time has passed (assuming that no court case has been filed), the courts can no longer be used to demand payment of a debt and the debt effectively ceases to exist legally. (Whether it ceases to exist morally depends on your personal moral system.)
I have one kid. The trick of long term issues due to COVID is non zero. The risk of death is non zero. Many people have decided that science is subjective.

mold supports precisely one platform: x86_64 Linux.

The big question I’d have is how they’re going to compete with the entrenched players like Ticketmaster / Live Nation. With ticketing, what really matters is whether they’ll let you in at the door. None of the features listed are novel (or generally valuable) other than the possibility of controlling the resale market, which could easily be done without the extra expense of a blockchain in a normal web app as various startups have tried except that many venues end up with exclusive contracts with the same company controlling ticketing and many of the performers.
Not sure if the original business needs to be dead for it to be considered a successful pivot. You could include amazon with aws. Or Dassault (planes) with Dassault system (CAD). And all the big asian conglomerates. You could even include the east india company which started as a trading company before becoming a colonial administration! My point is that these pivots are quite common.
The science is not murky at all. If you are vaccinated you can be infected. Have you been watching the news? We are on full lockdown again in my household, because vaccination isn't a guarantee to stop transmission.
Pivot is a bittersweet description, and ARM was a new spin-off founded in 1990 alongside Apple. Acorn renamed itself to Element 14 Ltd in 1998 and sold off the assets from their home computer business. They built DSL kit for a couple of years before ending up as part of Broadcom.

How I Demolished My Life
We can add this to the debate above about whether Netflix was really a pivot. Acorn made computers and eventually decided they needed their own processor. I'm sure one could debate whether that was evolution or revolution, but what we know for sure is that Acorn is not around today and ARM (the spin-off) is.
The article already has an expression of concern from the editors, that's pretty rare and casts doubt on any peer-review this might have received.

Just reading the appendix, the calculation they do for the dangers of dying by COVID or the vaccine are completely insane. They take the raw VAERS numbers (which are not designed for this purpose and represent deaths happening shortly after vaccinations, but not necessarily connected to it). They then multiply this by 100 to account for VAERS allegedly undercounting deaths. They then assume that only 6% of people dying from COVID died from COVID, everone else allegedly only died with COVID.

And then they claim that PCR tests are highly likely to be false positive, so many people that are tested positive don't actually have COVID. This is just a series of completely outlandish claims, you can arrive at any number you want if you add "corrections factors" of two orders of magnitude with no real justification, especially if you start from bad data to begin with.
Using undocumented API features in a commercial product seems a bit fly-by-night to me - doesn't convey the best impression of the company.

> The science is murky on whether being vaccinated prevents being infectious. Others have pointed it out and are being flagged.

It’s because they’re being disingenuous.

Vaccination reduces infection severity and length. Reduced infection severity reduces coughing, which reduces spread. Reduced infection length gives less time for transmissibility.

So even if you can still transmit the virus while vaccinated, there is value in reducing the amount of time you’re infectious and the amount of viral load you’re spreading into the air.

It’s not a binary thing, despite what some are trying to suggest.
Hah! That's what I thought earlier, yet it still went up.

That’s not the right question. The right question is: does a vaxxed person have a lower viral load that makes them likely to infect fewer people?

If the answer was yes, then vaxxing young kids makes more sense.

The case being hard to prosecute doesn't mean that paying for a legal defense will be cheap. The same goes for suing the state for damages afterwards; lawyers will require retainers to investigate the likelihood of a settlement. Suing the government is not a simple matter, by design.

The goal of threatening reporters with prosecution is to intimidate others and prevent them from investigating areas that could embarrass the state government.

> Another weird take

It's not the "take" that's weird, it's the situation. I said nothing about whether the government or businesses have the right or not. Just that since it has now started it is likely to be used further. That's not a weird take, it's just a fact proven by the current situation that previous poster was describing.

I've been entering businesses my entire life and until now I've never had to show private medical information about vaccinations in order to enter. Similarly, I've traveled through multiple countries in my life and until now I've never had to show private medical information about vaccinations in order to enter. What's weird is that now I can't go to a funeral without telling someone at the door about what shots I have.

It's also interesting that pointing out this very unusual state of affairs and its likely continuance results in a response suggesting that it's "weird" to even point it out, suggesting that it should not be pointed out, because who wants to be "weird" or say "weird" things. That's a type of antagonization.

> I don’t believe it is. Vaccinated and unvaccinated spread COVID just as easily.

Evidence and actual science says otherwise.
I don’t think Apple can count as a pivot because they never abandoned their core/existing business, and most of their activities are surrounded by and complimentary to their core business of general purpose computing devices.

A smartphone itself is just as general purpose as the Macintosh or Apple II.

I would classify Apple as “growing into a conglomerate,” not “pivoting.”

Apple right now has a movie screening in theaters, but I don’t even call that a pivot. It’s a complementary product to Apple’s main business, because TV+ subscriptions have been fueled by its built-in-to-the-OS nature. Buy an iPhone, get it free for a year, and now you’re hooked. Putting the content in theaters is just a cherry on top.

Maybe you could argue that offering the iPod and iTunes on Windows was a pivot. The iPod being wholly disconnected from the Mac was like a different business, and it dominated Apple’s revenue for a while.

If Apple had discontinued the Mac and focused on iPods, this would qualify as a pivot. But what ended up happening was that the iPod enhanced Mac sales and led to the Mac essentially being made into a portable device with the iPhone (“iPhone runs OS X” as Steve Jobs said in the keynote).

The Apple Watch could be a strong argument for a pivot product, as it’s essentially an entry into the jewelry market. The Apple Watch business is supercharged by selling interchangeable bands, which have nothing to do with computing. However, it’s still not a pivot: it requires an iPhone, which itself is basically a Mac, and the Watch itself is also still just another general purpose computing device based on macOS/OS X/NextSTEP.
A pivot is mostly a question of abandoning the old model efficiently rather than simply starting to do something else. Kodak was mostly a chemical company, selling film every week and a new camera every decade.

Going from manufacturing pencils to building aircraft doesn’t make use of existing workforce, equipment, or customers so why not just expand into a new industry and keep the old one as long as it was possible? Netflix or digital cameras on the other hand eats into their customer base. Someone buying a digital cameras is no longer buying film from you, it’s a destructive transition.
What about looking to countries who doesn't drug kids like crazy and see the results?
> Except in children the side effects are actually a higher rate from the vaccine than from infection itself.

This is false. There was a pre-print study a while ago that tried to compare estimates vaccine side effects to COVID hospitalizations and hoped that readers wouldn’t notice they were comparing apples to oranges. The preprint was retracted but many people missed the details and ended up convinced that the vaccine is worse than infection because they didn’t read closely enough.

The vaccine never would have been approved and stay available if it was worse than the infection it prevents.

The only way someone could believe something that absurd is to believe that the whole thing is a massive conspiracy theory. It’s not.

> need to make sure your network provider actually allows you to host (commercially?) in your own home

If you're hosting something commercially, you should get a commercial ISP plan. If you can get it at home, why would the provider not allow you to host your services that way?

That said, why would you do that? It would be very hard to scale this operation, so unless you're planning to be a tiny (and likely lossy) operation forever, get yourself a cheap VPS to start with, then migrate as needed.

This post is about self-hosting services for yourself, and perhaps to a few close relatives and friends. Many of us do that (have a look at r/selfhosted and check out the Self Hosted podcast), and OP's set up is one of the simplest around.

> ensuring that you have a static ip address

There are many ways to access your services without one. A mesh network, like Tailscale, ZeroTier, Nebula, is my favourite, but a regular VPN also works, and so does dynamic DNS.

> Vaccination reduces infection severity and length. Reduced infection severity reduces coughing, which reduces spread. Reduced infection length gives less time for transmissibility.

At the same time, less severe cases would make ideal spreaders: you're not aware you're infectious and you're not hindered from going out by being sick. I don't think that's a compelling reason for "vaccination reduces spread". Portugal's also doesn't suggest that, currently peaking despite 88% with two vaccinations and 26% with three.
I think collecting data around this specific question namely infections rather than hospitalizations or deaths would be very difficult if not impossible. I think you can draw your own conclusions but as far as the data goes it's up for interpretation.
