> beautiful and minimal

I am not sure who is viewing using rose tinted glasses. You or me? :-)

UI should be functional and as complex as it needs to be. Basically opposite of beautiful and minimal.
But with art there is only one work produced by an artist, or if a series, probably some way to properly id it based on a number of factors.

With say a sweatshirt produced by a third party based on some digital stencil art, do you know for sure the one you're receiving was printed by the company and given to an employee/customer? Literally hundreds, possibly thousands would be in circulation. How would you be able to distinguish that from say something a former employee w/ access to the original art data having it reprinted?
I believe there are some images floating around in CD-i homebrew and emulation circles.
> copyright was designed “for a limited time” that is why your copyright should expire.

That’s just circular, not a reason. The explanation & philosophy behind limited terms isn’t justified with “because it was designed with limited terms”. The rationale was stated in the article, and is written into copyright law. I don’t have any beef with your opinion, but so far it’s only an opinion and not backed up by clear reasoning or evidence. 25 years is shorter than copyright has ever been in the US, even in 1790, more than 200 years ago.

If you believe creator lifetime is too long, part of the question is whether you would really stick to that if you were making money from your own work. Imagine, if you will, that you write software for your employer. Your software is currently protected by copyrights. But if that software copyright protection expires in 25 years, then any software you write can be legally taken by a brand new startup that doesn’t write code, it only sells code other people wrote, even using other people’s marketing material, including videos and imagery your company built. They offer your product for cheaper than your employer can, because their operating expenses are one hundredth of yours. Can your product & employer survive this, will your job last? If your job were actually on the line and might disappear suddenly anytime the company you work for has their work expire, do you still stick to your opinion that 25 years is enough?
My general approach is t make my business fully automated. Once i do that, i have time to thing in different directions.

Organic channels are your lifesavers, the ones which will make your microstartup successful, so start working on them from day 1.

I have few things planned for 2022.
I just got a message from git in my terminal related to "master" branch. Whatever your sexual orientation, gender, race, disabilities FUCK OFF, I'm gonna stick to proper English instead of Newspeak.

The same statement is true for my native language, French, where I'll never use the "écriture inclusive" bullshit except to mock it. Luckily the Académie is with me on this one.
> But it's not the army, they could refuse

Officers are not only allowed to, but required to, refuse illegal orders in the Army. Enlisted troops are allowed the "just following orders" excuse, but not officers who should know better.
Yeah... no chance any of them do this.
Yes there were a few. But I try to always keep the cost of failure small.
This is how I try to be frugal.

* I see a potential problem, see if I can solve it. See if it's already being solved, if not I pitch the idea to few people. If atleast 50% got excited. I pick this idea to build

* I set a goal on day 1 on what the microstartup should
achieve once its launched. * I try to take no more than 4 weeks to build it.

* I do a public launch in IH, PH, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook and Reddit. In few weeks if I reach the goal that I set at the beginning, then I continue working on it to improve. If not then I will drop it and move on the next.

You have objective in making this choice, most people cling on to the sentiment.
You can’t explore food and cooking? What are you talking about? You have to eat. So If you want to cook, then cook! One year is more than a thousand meals to develop your skill. It’s a fantastic interest to piece into a life of other things.
>There was this storyline that data was going to replace lunches with authors, pitch meetings, and a lot of other creative activities. It's mostly been BS.

Let this be a lesson. Data and fancy algorithms can NEVER replace a smart human who cares. Data and algorithms can enhance and expedite humans - but if your humans are stupid, you will just make stupid decisions faster
> You know those human growth hormone jumbo chicken beasts that have the woody texture and taste like water?

Which country do you live at? They don’t give growth hormone to chicken in US, which are enormous nevertheless, so I am now somewhat morbidly interested in seeing US enormous chicken breeds that are additionally given growth hormones.
Not to mention YouTube, which has exploded over the last few years to have roughly the same revenue as Netflix [1]. They've basically grown a FAANG, and nobody seems to have noticed.

> That’s not really what we usually mean by news, but that’s the mode being adopted by many news outlets.

National Review was founded in 1955, and is the only one of the examples you cite that even pretends to have a journalistic component (though its overtly mainly commentary); Jacobin is overtly commentary, not news; n+1 is a literary, rather than journalistic, outlet.

That's not really good examples of a novel trend in journalism.
> If major clips of any of those channels/shows get millions of views on YouTube every episode, that is not counted.

But that’s also true of Rogan. His show’s clips get way more views than those other networks.
If we freeze for two weeks, spending the next four weeks deploying six weeks’ worth of feature branches shouldn’t be that big a deal. It’s another form of tech debt, and your process needs to allow using it judiciously (CI/CD often gets this wrong).

Is there any way that some of those investors/board members could get some federal prison time? Just like, you know, for justice?!
But isn’t a new fab company going to have to compete with NXP in those markets? That seems very difficult for a brand new company to do, given no technological advantage.
Noteworthy and good to see this sort of registered replication but making a lot of single replications has always seemed a little problematic. What if a third replication had a greater effect size estimate than the original? I understand the power considerations etc but theory and reality don't always correspond.
You wrote elsewhere that you validate within the first four weeks. How exactly do you do that? What if you have no Twitter following or very little social media presence? How can you get people to listen to you and say yes/no?

I’ve tried micro startups in the past. I build a landing page, get Google AdWords, maybe put out a post on Reddit or HN, and then…nothing. No signups, no comments. Maybe I’ve just picked the wrong ideas, but I can’t even get people to say “this is bad.” Just silence.

Seems easier when you’ve already built some clout and have a following. But also seems like I’m doing something wrong.

Do you have a specific example of how you did it? A link that you can share?

Compare to labtestingapi.com which is the cheapest quest reseller, $20 vitamin D test vs $52

https://www.labtestingapi.com/product/questassured-25-hydrox...

The biggest crime she committed was ending any chance at a startup with affordable pricing in the future, no-one would believe/invest so now we are back to a duopoly in the USA (quest vs labcorp)

Maybe in a decade, or two, we'll have our own mini-lab in a box in our homes for outselves and pets, maybe it will be on a subscription pay-per-month software model, maybe 100 years we'll have it on our phones like a tricorder.
We should have free trade with people who play by the same rules.

This. The goal is to push the looming incident back until your staff will be on the grid, awake, and sober, and your customers are just having a normal day.

I love solving problems by building solutions. I Travel every now and then. Make a backlog of new ideas, keep pitching them to friends, work on my current one. One step at a time. I took things very slowly instead of rushing and getting into pressure.
I honestly had the same reaction, two theories besides the truth of the “evergreen” explanation made by the other commenter:

(1) It was by Michael Siebel, the head of YC right now (hey we’re also on a YC website now).

(2) New Year’s, so there are less news topics to discuss and upvote instead.
Would they say… “we can’t “?

I wouldn’t expect that.

If they can or can’t in a given circumstance seems entirely unrelated to statements like that. Maybe they can, but even if they can’t I wouldn’t expect them to say that.
You can also try out this tool I saw shared on another thread: https://www.sentencing.us/

Corporate Memphis? Everyone is at it. Easy to draw I guess and quickly create loads of illustrations.
Great that there is an ssh mechanism. I never realised even if it's a third party. Rebuild with ssh has been invaluable for me circle ci. I wish github would add it as a native feature. Having a restart with ssh is vastly simpler than adding the step, then commit+push etc. And no having that syrup in there with `if: failure()` isn't a great solution.
Hey Hari,

It also misses that vocal inflection and timing is part of what makes a solid dub. Even if the translation was amazing, with all the subtleties of the language conferred somehow, you still have to get that right for it to be convincing. Otherwise you could end up with solid dialog such as Pride and Prejudice, as delivered by Tommy Wiseau or Christopher Walken or something ("Those. Who do not. ComPLAIN. Are never pitied.")
YMMV, depending on the technology.

As an example where this hasn't worked so well, COMAC's aircraft production has not been doing too hot.
It's fairly easy to set up situations where the people doing the actual work are not knowingly defrauding anyone. The salespeople are told the machine is real, the delivery people never see inside the lab, the testers inside the lab are trained by the few people really in on it (I don't think they had the proper independent training) so they don't know how bad the tests are, and the scientists think everyone knows they're working on version 2.0 but they're told not to discuss readiness, leading the salespeople to get the wrong idea. Heck, most frauds don't want their people to know that it's a fraud - too many people raises secrecy and conscience issues.
Good list, thanks! For the projects in your post, how did you solve #3?

Ask HN: Do B2B business introduction services/groups exist?
Hello, I'm the founder of a SaaS looking to get introductions to a few SF Bay area companies like Waymo, Uber, Lyft. I don't have a large enough network to ask for introductions and wanted to see if anyone knew of any services or groups that offered B2B business introductions.
I have seen a Facebook ad for a company that provided introductions a year or two ago, but I'm unable to find it now.

Ever since the pandemic I found the hours listed on Google maps for restaurants/business to be often (understandably) incorrect or out of date, and now I usually double check on Instagram or Facebook if there's a page run by the restaurant.
Here in Singapore and Malaysia, you can get "kampong chicken" (village chicken)... basically the chicken you see running around the village. They're great for soups and have a lot more flavor imo.

Fortunately the law doesn't have a victim blaming statute in these cases, so any mistakes the investors made don't excuse Holmes for lying and commiting fraud.

The main argument is the ratio of silent vs non-silent mutations. So you are actually making a false presentation of her argumentation and I believe this is called... slander ?

Although the claim that there's little chance for Omicron to have developped resistance to antibodies in an immunodepressed patient (that is without antibodies) needs to be adressed to.

I would love to see a reasonable fact-based response to the article that actually take into account the points being made.
Argh! The linked NPR article on that tweet had me yelling at my phone:

> It is unusual for tech executives to face criminal changes when their startups collapse under the weight of unrealized promises.

That's because it's not illegal to over promise about your future results. It is illegal to lie about simple facts regarding the present state of your business to attract funding.

I'm so sick of so many press outlets framing this as just "fake it til you make it" gone wrong, "a page from the Silicon Valley playbook", or that it's just an over hyped company take to extremes.

No, Theranos was outright, egregious fraud, and most startups that "collapse under the weight of unrealized promises" are not committing fraud.
I used to drink sugared beverages constantly (Coke, Snapple). Just stopped one day. Replace the Snapple with unsweetened iced tea and add just a dash of lemonade. Today years later if I try a Snapple I find it disgustingly cloying and overly sweet. So it's quite possible to retrain your palate. That and a square of dark chocolate are all I need - the darker, the less sugar.
> The fact that you are allowed to control what I do with the thoughts in my brain, and control what I do with what I have legally bought from you, is a temporary favor to incite you to create cool stuff.

This is a pretty big and hyperbolic straw man that immediately makes it hard to take seriously. Copyright does not control your thoughts. Copyright prevents me from redistributing your work without permission, and nothing more. It has nothing to do with what I think about it or say about it or what you do with your own copies. Copyright does not prevent you from reselling your own copy that you legally bought, nor from doing anything you want with your copy aside from making and distributing new copies to others.
Sure and if it had arisen in Europe then those questions would have to be asked. But it's a safe assumption that very little analysis is happening in southern central Africa. It doesn't seem that outrageous that a parallel line has been percolating there for quite some time and only recently gained a mutation or two that allowed it to shoot to stratospheric levels.
Posting on Reddit or HN is fine, but unlikely to be successful if that is all you do. Cold calling/emailing/linkedin and posting on forums like HN continuously can both help. The latter only works if your solution genuinely solves someone's problem otherwise it will come off spammy. If your solution has obvious keywords and those keywords aren't too expensive, then Google ads can be relatively cheap method to get started too.

The good news is that we'll learn a lesson for the next 20+ years.

The bad news is that we'll forget it again.
I don't think anyone here is saying she shouldn't be going to prison or that she should be going there for less than a decade. But spending 65 years in jail for _anything_ short of substantially heinous crimes should cause anyone to question the motivation behind the sentencing. I understand that the wire fraud is what's causing the time to stack up here, but a 65 year sentence would be ridiculous. I'm much more onboard with a 10-25 year sentence though, even if there's perjury involved.
Nope, most shared hosting is still like the OP comment’s description.

Then of course you have companies like Cloudflare and Netlify where their shared static hosting is not the traditional lamp/cpanel stuff, and certainly have internally developed platforms/serving technologies where security and sandboxing is very likely top of mind.

Companies of Cloudflare and Netlify ilk are the exception, but most cheapo shared hosting (and shared hosting has to be cheap to compete), is still very much multi-tenant with security concerns across the board.
Yeah but the Académie is really just consultative. I will still never say mot-dièse for hashtag.

And that master thing is really stupid, like every population has been enslaved at some point, the word comes from the romans, and it's not like anyone is promoting slavery by saying their master branch dominate their slave branches in git. We also still enslave animals and we can say "human friend" instead of "master" to indicate your relationship with your dog, you're still not asking him for tax advices.

And should we stop saying Maitresse for kids' teachers as well to avoid remiding everyone of slavery...

> “non-violent” criminals can do much more widespread damage individually than violent criminals are likely to

How did you come to that conclusion? It seems like a difficult argument to support.

In terms of human life, probably not, right? I mean hypothetically the investors could have gone on to spend their money on lifesaving ventures and charities but that seems like a roll of the dice.
I'd say it's kind of possible when you use a solid framework and a homogeneous tech stack. For example, I run a few relatively big projects (millions of page-views per month), and I've achieved some solid automation through Ansible - both provisioning and deployments. The primary tech is Ruby on Rails + Postgres, and it's relatively easy to maintain current. As long as I keep all the projects up to date, things are under control. For example, bumping Ruby's version (or Rails) on one of the projects has an almost one-time cost, as long as I do that at the same time for all projects and document it.
What is your marketing stack?
Submit a patch to get them implemented, or really just don't throw in cases that aren't actually exceptional and return nil instead.
I believe nobody talking about Netflix is worse than people talking negatively about Facebook. Facebook has far-reaching influence over non-US societies, and are generally capable of living off of just those societies. Netflix, on the other hand, is very quickly losing the content war to the likes of Disney and HBO, plus further losing its bread-and-butter catalog backfill to Hulu. Facebook is going to keep being the popular boogeyman, possibly declining over the next decade. Netflix may truly be gone in 10 years, though.
