Profoundly disagree. If you have worked in an industry for a few years, you have internalized its rules and logic. An outside perspective is valuable. Technicalities rarely stops people from achieving a goal and it is the second step.

You want competence for strategically sound decisions to achieve a goal, but setting it should be done with input of people that have not been groomed that advertising is a human necessity.
I don't like this method much either but in fairness to the author, as you get older and our social circle inevitably widens with friends from old sports clubs, old neighbors, friends from school, colleague, university, old jobs, friends who are kids friends parents from school, et al, and thus it gets harder and harder to keep track of everyone given much effort it often takes to keep our head above water in our own busy lives. How many people say "we only catch up once every couple of years?" At least this method allows the author to keep those connections open for people he wants to stay in contact with. Even if it might seem a little impersonal from a superficial standpoint.
The liabilities increased significantly only because Dropbox (as with nearly every other company in the United States) wanted to take advantage of the 0% interest rates that the federal reserve has kept.

1,369.3 (bln) Convertible senior notes, net, non-current

Who wouldn't want to borrow $1.3 billion USD interest free or close to it? We need to take a close look and try to understand these numbers instead of just seeing "negative" = "bad"; more often than not it much more nuanced than that.
In a perfect world, it would work great. A world where hotels and workplaces have available phone docking stations that allow the travelling business people to plug their phones in, and their phones boot up an OS where we could have access to the full power of our personal computers on the provided monitors/keyboard/mouse.

The world doesn't exist. And it's not that much more expensive for the workplace to add the computer, and it's much more convenient to just carry our own ultraportable laptops so that we could work at coffee shops and on the planes.

But perhaps there is an use case out for parents with multiple kids who don't want to use low-powered or hand-me-down computers...

Am I the only one in HN who is not into the stock market? I live in Western Europe and I would say 75% of my acquaintances don't do stock market. People I have known in the past (old people) didn't do stock market either. They all seem to have lived a normal life (decent jobs, decent house, decent family). Nothing extravagant but they got enough money to be "happy" in life.

Well, nuclear has a much higher cost per kW than solar or wind, so it's not a very efficiënt alternative. The only real benefit of nuclear, as far as I can tell, is that it takes less physical space.

And mining for nuclear materials is quite bad for the environment of course, but so is mining for the materials needed for wind/solar.

I agree packaging should be wayyyy more standardised (and more ecological). But that doesn't mean there shouldn't be only 2 types of yogurt.

FWIW I have a feeling when you buy food manufacturing and transport is the smallest parts of cost. Packaging and shelving are major ones. Kinda why you don't see large packaging, especially in Europe. Why does all toothpaste runs out in a month? I don't change my favourite brand for years..?
Why? Clearly, no one is actually willing to trade at those prices. Sometimes, one illogical price in illiquid markets drive the orderbook to illogical extremes. Without a transaction, all are meaningless.
Well, life?

Just managing your own home requires a lot of organisation, and even if you do care, you will have a hard time to cope for long without some tools to help you (calendars, notes, schedules, only to name those). Unless someone does it for you. Or unless you live a very simple life that can fit in your head all the time, of course.

Likewise, seeing your friends fading away, not responding to you might be because they've just forgotten you, or don't want to see you anymore, or they are just drowning in their own life. And maybe with time they will cope/react differently, maybe not.

Considering that friendship/care only can be spontaneous and not prepared/provisional, this is disingenuous and borderline toxic (to both you and others).
Thanks for this recommendation, having not studied networking at university I've always struggled with it.
Maybe you should talk to a few greybeards before you decide they can't hack it? I think you'd be surprised by just how much benefit decades of experience in the field can bring.

For what it's worth, there is something way easier than trying to breed back extinct species - bring back wolves [1]. Sadly though, outside of national parks farmers don't like apex predators like wolves because they like to snack on farm animals... and farmers don't like to invest into herd protection either with humans or with animals, because the profit margins don't allow that.

Ask HN: What do you do when your insight (& vision) scares you?
What do you do in the following case:

- You have have gained some insights about a specific domain, to solve some challenges in this domain

- You want to setup an organisation to solve this problem

- The insights are completely paradigm shifting. When you talk to others about the problem, and solutions. You can see they are not getting to the root causes. They are just scratching at the surface.

- The vision of what this organisation could be, and the change it could initiate drives fear in you

- You are afraid of telling people what the idea & plan (how to) because you think they will call you crazy!

* As an example :

We have a hypothetical world, tataoine. On tatoine there are tribes, and all tribes resolve conflict between each other by fighting. They never do anything else.

So an entire industry has popped up in order to build swords
- 95% of people are building swords in the same way for generations.

- Some forward thinking folks have come about and said your methods of building swords are not optimal. So they have optimised the method of building

- Some other folks have come about and said maybe we need new types of swords, so now they are building light sabres

NOW:

- This insight began with some first principals thinking. What should this thing actually be, no other assumptions. How can we actually solve for the right problem (resolving conflict)

- The realisation is that sword makers are producing swords for a world that no longer requires swords, but everyone still continues because they think its best

- Because there is so much swords produced, organisations spring up to architect "conflict" so that they can leverage the swords

- This is what keeps the system going

- Along comes someone and says, hey instead of first resorting to war. Maybe we should just speak to each other first.

- Completely different paradigm on how to resolve conflict)

Insight was gained due to my own struggle with trying to solve a challenge in my own personal life, and not finding any satisfactory solutions.

* This is just an example, the insight has nothing to do with ACTUAL war. Just wanted to throw in the light sabre reference :)

Do any of them have private pensions?

In the UK almost everyone will have been moved over to a "defined contribution" pension whose value is determined by the stock market, usually in the form of a "stakeholder pension".

I don't "do" the stock market but I do have such a pension. And every few months sweep spare cash out of my current account into an index fund. Effectively I pay people to worry about this stuff on my behalf.

People who retired more than about 10 years ago are far more likely to have "defined benefit" pensions whose value is independent of the stock market.

I have a book written by André Kostolany, which taught me one thing and I believe I've forgotten the rest, because only this one fundamentally matters:

Don't hunt for rising stocks, but chase the falling stocks. Everything that goes down either eventually goes up again, or dies.

While this sounds like it's not helpful, all that's required is figuring out if a company is likely going to die. Even without any manual research, time is ultimately telling. The longer a company at the bottom doesn't die, the more likely it's going to rebound eventually.

Exactly. After first sentence I immediatelly switched into "scan mode". I was'nt able to find the answer for the question in the title.

Then why do they frame connection in terms of a habit that yields "unlimited upside" and prevents you from missing out on opportunities?

You are absolutely right that people are different, but this person comes across a little transactional and an exemplar of the Zuckerborg meme.
That was my first thought, too. Then I thought, I should probably make more of an effort to stay in touch with people. Just not this way.
> YC just put out a superior product for their customers who'd otherwise have to pitch to 20 other angels.

This phrasing could imply that YC offer something that any entrepreneur can access - in other words, an unbiased funding source that is equally accessible to people regardless of background and experience.

Is that what you intended or could you find a better analogy?
Last autumn there was a podcast done with chess world champion Magnus Carlsen (in Norwegian) and one interesting thing he says is that he practices a lot but only when he wants to otherwise it's meaningless. Of course there is a difference with skating and memorizing chess lines but the take-away is still there, if it's going to work you have to enjoy it.
For that you shouldn't need virtualization though. With termux you can run lot of programs. There are termux packages for few server software. You should be able to compile some more yourself.

If you're looking for serious performance, though, it may not be practical.

This lame take is like claiming a birthday gift is meaningless because someone used a calendar reminder.

Some people have busy lives but still have many friends (especially ones spread around geographically as you get older). It’s normal adult behavior to forget to contact them for months.

> When there's no bond reminding me, then they're not friends.

This sounds like some obsessive behavior. I think you may have a much higher bar for friendship than most people do.

I have 20-30 people I would consider strong enough friends to have them stay in my house for a weekend on short notice (to give you an idea of trust level here). I contact many of them no more than once every couple of months only when a shared interest reminds me of them.

> One cares about friends. When you forget about them, then you're not actually caring.

That’s not how that works. At least it doesn’t match the definition of “caring”. It sounds more like “obsessing”.
> We miss contact, and yet we sheldom establish it.

That's me.

that's why my friends are the ones who contact me.

they are my reminder.

if I start contacting them now, they would think I am going to die soon.

> I see what this person is doing as a way to remove the friction and create a new habit

It doesn't work like that though.

It's not like using an alarm to wake up at a certain hour and suddenly you realize your sleep cycle has adapted, what this person is doing is more like a grocery list, you'll never stop needing one, if you needed one in the first place.

Moreover, the simple fact that people are in different lists and lists have to be maintained and updated, it makes it more like a job than a habit.
Sounds like a terrible idea right now. I think they are only popular here because of their association with YC. I honestly find Dropbox to be terrible and overpriced.

another fun bug I just remembered ... the higher your lvl, the faster your avatar could walk. But you could also drag&drop items, monsters and other players around. and you could drag yourself. dragging yourself diagonally didnt have a delay/cooldown in the beginning, so with training or the help of 3rd party software you could move really fast. :)
I'm amazed to see Tibia show up on HN of all places! And a whole 22 years after I first installed the game on one of our high school computers.
This game was the catalyst to my career as an IT professional. I developed a tool back in 2003 or so that calculated experience and skill gains, as my first proper project in Visual Basic. It ended up as a mainstay in the playerbase for a long time, which meant I had to deal with release management and server capacity as a complete greenhorn.
Later, when I quit the game, I simply released the codebase on the forums, hoping for some other idealistic soul to take over. Naturally, that went the exact way you'd expect: People embedded keyloggers and released their own version of it, demolishing all the trust I'd built over the years.

Another aspect of this game worth noting: The community, and how the gameplay has changed over the years.
In the "olden times", the main focus of the game was the social aspect. There were limited hunting grounds, so people spent their time hanging around and talking, building houses out of boxes and parcels, coming up with games.
I recently picked the game back up - now everything feels like it's hyper-optimized for grinding, and that old social aspect feels gone.
I find it fascinating - though also a bit sad.
It's all about the outside influence. When the media doesn't push it, people aren't going to do it. Don't believe it?

When the media started pushing GME, people went and bought GME. When the media started pushing btc, people went and bought btc.

Stocks aren't being encouraged, therefore most people don't do it and instead cluelessly dismiss it mostly as gambling. Same goes for cryptos.

Right until the media pushes it, people buy into it, rich people sell causing prices to crash, and the cycle of cluelessness repeats.
Yeah, and the 80's weren't much better, what with the Computer and Fraud Act of 1986 making unauthorized access of computers a Federal crome, Reaganomics and the existential threat of imminent nuclear annihilation. The 90's were a calm decade compared to that.
Do you know that Time Management Matrix with urgent/non-urgent on one side and important/not-important on the other?

Most of the time, life pushes us towards the urgent & important, and even urgent & not-important. When you have a busy life (full time job building a side business with a family with kids), it's just very hard to put the non-urgent & important on the agenda.

Not all things that are important are urgent.

Whiteboarding is at the top of my team's list too. We couldn't live without them after going fully remote so we put together this little doozy: https://sharetheboard.com

It's the closest the real thing, IMHO. But I'd love some candid feedback if you're willing to kick the tires on it.

In answer to the original question (coming in after "lack of whiteboarding"), part of my challenge of going fully remote was training my EXTENDED family on what that means. I had aunties and uncles calling me up in the middle of the day or even showing up unannounced... "because I'm home anyway." Even though sometimes they'd bring fresh baked goods, it was still disruptive.
It makes me happy and sentimental to see this post show up on hackernews. I was a contributor to the Ronja project in my teens. Karel (`clock`) taught me so much about open source and truly believed in pushing open technology forward. I was 14 at the time and he just finished university and taught me a ton mostly late at nights on the swiss linux user group's IRC channels.

A lot of the replies point out that cheap PCBs were not readily accessible. Clock and I were both living in Switzerland and prototyping PCBs especially in Switzerland was very costly. This kept us away from developing PCBs for a while.

We did want to build a 100mbit version and that was significantly easier using SMD components and a multilayer PCB so we started working on that. When we had the first prototype I actually took a train to Prague when I was 14 years old and went to a PCB fab to pick up 50 or so along with all the parts. This saved us a few thousand dollars and we tried to recoup the cost by selling kits. Fun times :)

The philosophy of the project was also to build it only with open source projects (something that wasn't feasible for the PCB design - we used Eagle which at least was free to use). The dead bug style worked very well and was extremely simple but of course not aesthetically pleasing when compared to what you can order online today. But it also meant that you could build it yourself without the need to order a PCB.

We used a local community run welding shop to build some of steel mounts: http://images.twibright.com/tns/1a52.html
Of course price would increase if everyone uses it, but, technically, high price is not necessary for everyone to use Bitcoin. For rough estimate, there are 12 billion of $20 notes in use, which is $240B, which is 6M Bitcoins. $20 bill comprises the bulk of money circulation. There are more $100 bills, but they are mostly used for savings.
