NY, LA, or REMOTE

2023 is a rough year for founders. With VC funding down 53% YoY and the loss of SVB (and now FRB), the Era of Easy Money is over.

Startups today have to move fast, stay flexible, and focus on what matters most: sustainable, achievable growth.

Most agencies and freelancers don't get this. They don't understand the difficult balance between moving quickly and keeping costs low. They don't understand how to support rapid iterations and continuous discovery through the grind towards Product-Market Fit. They don't get the need for flexibility—the ability to take a complete 180 at a moment's notice in response to a founder's ever-evolving understanding of their target market.

Most agencies just don't get startups.

But I do.

Since 2015, I've helped early-stage companies scale their tech output without scaling their budgets. Unlike our competition, I get startups: I was Founding Engineer at Zipline and have helped 35+ companies build, launch, and scale their products since going independent in 2015.

Now, at NoNerds.com, I'm supported by a team of 20+ world-class Nerds from the US, EU, and Latin America. We've helped companies backed by YC, Fidelity, and T Rowe Price—companies that have raised over $650M and counting with our work.

If you're looking for a technical partner that will build whatever you tell them to, keep looking.

That's not us.

But if you're looking for a partner that will challenge you to build the best possible product you can?

Let's chat.

I have a sibling that has been diagnosed with AS, along with a handful of other related diseases, such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis.

The specialists can’t concur with their own conclusions, let alone the conclusions of others. Diagnosis changes every few years. It’s a confusing situation for the patient and their family.

One treatment that is used for a specific condition might have harmful - even carcinogenic -side effects. It’s difficult

> whether consumers will like a certain style of shoes once they are already made and on the store shelves

The key is to reduce the kind of shoes available. Everyone shall wear the state issued formal shoes and when they need to engage in the required daily sporting activity, shall wear the state issued canvas shoes.
I second the recommendation. It's a great book, and draws much more closely on historical fact than I was aware of when first reading it.
They definitely would be a good place to search. Not only for historical artifacts but becuase the plains would trap the heavier gold flakes that got eroded either locally or upstream.

For instance the state of Pennsylania has no known gold vein deposits but small flakes of gold are often found in the rivers, since the quartz rocks that contained the flakes were eroded, freeing the flakes which are then washed into the river by rain.

Huh. Free as in mattress, I got the negative implication.

Free as in piano, thought it was some kind of… I dunno, almost a pun or something. In some places, people will play piano in public, performing for passers by, or just for their own entertainment.

“Free as in beer” has the implication of being probably a bait and switch or having some strings attached. “Free as in speech” has an implication of having some significant political statement; I mean, “free speech” covers trivial speech too of course, but it isn’t how we usually use the expression.

The idea of software more like a funny song that’s been released into the universe is a bit charming. I like my misinterpretation better than the real thing, I think.

Really interesting, you're the first I meet that has. Olivetti still has a stellar reputation in Italy, disliked by other enterpreneurs and (so they say) loved by his employees. What's sure is that the work conditions were really progressive and I think still unparalleled today, at least in Italy.

I, too, would very much like to see this play out in practice. But I don't think it'll ever actually happen in real life, because it would likely dramatically reduce the size of government (which politicians are loathe to do) and economically hurt wealthy landowners the most.
We shouldn't let banks fail and destroy the economy.

A key difference here is that bond and equity holders are wiped out, which helps reduce moral hazard.

The broader concern is the privatization of profits while losses are absorbed by the government/public.

this is a follow up to a great discussion from last week - "The part of Postgres we hate the most: Multi-version concurrency control": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35716963

While Postgres MVCC isn't great compared to other engines, there are legitimate steps forward to solve this in Postgres core. In previous releases there was an implementation for ZHeap, and there are now ongoing efforts to introduce a better Table Access Method API which would enable other storage formats.

With some luck, most of this will be in PG17.

Citing two prominent Mormon apologist foundations certainly doesn’t help your point that you’re not acting as closeted Mormon apologist. And when you use a misunderstanding of a non-Mormon about secrecy and caffeine as an example of ex-Mormon lies, you are certainly showing your bias towards those who leave the church.

The exmormon community is extremely thorough and factual when it comes to talking about the church, because it is to their benefit. More people have left the church after unsuccessfully trying to refute The CES Letter than have ever left due to smear campaigns and slander. The truth is to the rational thinker’s benefit, which is why the church spends so much time and money hiding it and whitewashing it.
In principle I'm fine with all of that. I suspect there's not much mainstream appeal for a YouTube that only recommends ISIS videos, so you're not pushing ISIS videos to someone who wasn't already looking for them. I suspect such a site would fall foul of law enforcement on other grounds (such a rule change wouldn't be allowing anything that wasn't allowed before). I don't see why the regulator would need to decide on the same limit for pull-based search results (I've told the site what I'm looking for) rather than push-based recommendations (the site is pushing something else alongside what I was looking for).
Or worse, you can still buy the ticket, but it's not valid for any trains actually in service. This stuff is really non-obvious. For example, train operators can license certain Deutsche Bahn trademarks without accepting Deutsche Bahn tickets.

> Did the idea of enchained symbols motivate the license for Scroll?

Yes, my life's work is dedicated to promoting the idea that every child should be gifted with their own copy of humanity's best information. I believe we have the means, we just need the will.

So I put my money where my mouth is and explicitly say everything I write is public domain. In fact, I reject the idea that there should be even a concept of a "license" over ideas. To me that is like a "license" over people. I believe in a free world.

My goals with Scroll and TrueBase are to build world class products that are further examples of how public domain products are strictly superior, as many have done before me (the WWW for example).

Of course, I wish I had better skills! I am always trying to get better so I can build better things. I am not happy with the state of the products yet (or my own skills), but keep trying to get better and build better. I am so grateful for many people who have contributed to the open source projects and offered words of encouragement.

> As well, if each word is computable (Trubase), really no one could own the symbol, right?

The core idea with TrueBase is by increasing the interconnectedness of the symbols you make it harder to lie, exponentially. To change one thing you would have to vary quite a lot. So by making it harder to vary, we could hopefully improve truth.

Wikipedia makes it harder to lie about simple things—places of birth, dates, et cetera. But about more complex topics it's very easy for biased parties to control the narrative. I think there's potentially a way to build an encyclopedia that can be relied upon more on complex topics.

I hope we can pull it off. I'm very confident! But by that I mean 10% odds I see it being a smashing success and 90% odds I see it failing.

You seem to conveniently ignore the externalities that most people who have investigated them agree are a major component in a corporation like Walmart existing at all.

I would agree with most of what you've written if the price of goods at Walmart actually represented their true cost. But instead, Walmart relies on externalities (the most obvious one is their reliance on their staff being able to collect various forms of public assistance, but there are plenty more) in order to maintain their prices.
You are already paying for paid relays ? What is the reasoning?

Congrats on your first comment by the way.
I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. I love Julia as a language (not as an implementation, which is a pain-in-the-ass to work with), but there has long been a pattern of responses which in practice amount to gaslighting. Afaik it's only small set of people who do that, and charitably they're likely just being less-than-thoughtful about generalizing their "work for my project", "works on my 24 core computer", "works when I know half the people developing packages" experiences to everyone. But to an outsider, it looks like the answer is always "the problems are all fixed now, you're just out of date", and most of the time that turns out not to be true.
My favorite one went like this:

A guy walks into the store, looks mournfully at the bare shelves, and asks the worker at the counter, "So, comrade, you don't have any meat today, do you?"

"Comrade, did you not read the sign at the entrance? This is a seafood market; we don't have any fish. The meat shop is across the road - they don't have any meat."
They're just making sure all precautions and mitigations that can be taken, are taken. In reality none of this is blocking progress. SpaceX has much bigger and harder problems to solve.
This is true, but misses the important part that they (the older set) are often correct. For every new idea that really changes everything there are a huge number that die on the vine or just become a ho-hum tool in a big toolbox.

Most new ideas are less interesting and impactful than they seem when you are in the middle of their creation. You never really get to see what's happening until much much later.

A variant of all this is that you should trust the old guard when they tell you something can be done, but not when they tell you it can't. There is a good quote about that I've forgotten.

The corollary is that you shouldn't really trust the young turks on anything, but you should support their efforts and test the results.

Spending on healthcare rose faster in the US than pretty much anywhere else, at the same time American life expectancy growth slowed down compared to peer nations.

It's hard to capture for a modern audience. It's not just, say, the tutorial books that were packed in with the home computers (the curious might try one of the ones for the Apple II, Atari 8-bits, or Commodore 64 with an emulator. The one for the VIC-20 is also charming.) but the whole ecosystem of books and magazines. Plus it was a lingua franca like Matlab or Python. Gian-Carlo Rota's ODE book has a nice simple 4th order Runge-Kutte implementation in BASIC, for example.
Not entirely sure about the job but daaaang if I'm not buying myself one of those coops!

I completely agree with you about how little I know, but I don't need to know much to moderate this site according to its guidelines. It's the other way around: people who do know are welcome to comment (and we hope they will!) but only if they stay within HN's rules.

I don't know about calm or rational but following the site guidelines is exactly what we expect, regardless of how divisive a topic is. As I said in the GP, a divisive topic makes that more important.

Vintage Story: Uncompromising Survival Voxel Sandbox
To your question, no not entirely anyway. Other cultures might have traditional names for the visible stars and planets, but the heavenly bodies that were discovered by telescope basically just have the names they were given by their discoverers.

For example in Japanese, the visible planets have names that align with their own pre-Columbian traditions, e.g. Mars is named "Kasei" which means Firestar and Jupiter is named "Mokusei" which means Treestar. But when you get to planets discovered in modern times, Uranus, Neptune and demoted Pluto, they're respectively "Tennousei (Heavenly-King Star)", "Kaiousei (Sea-King Star)", and "Meiousei (Hades-King Star)", which are directly derived from the Western names given by their discoverers.

Now imagine the thousands of smaller named bodies in the Solar System, nobody's going to be bothered to come up with independent names for all of them for every culture, it would be too confusing. Imagine if everyone used native-tongue keywords in programming languages. Someone would send you a Python progam in French and it would be littered with sinon, sauf, Vrai, etc. While it might be convenient for the native speaker working alone, it would be a nightmare for interoperability.

Thus, newly discovered heavently bodies are referred to by the designations approved by the International Astronomical Union, in this case via its Working Group - Small Bodies Nomenclature.
That's a really good point in the argument that markets for demand-inelastic goods are amoral at best and unethical at worst. We have choices to make when it comes to which economic systems best solve certain problems.

Organ donation is a good example we're we've said, "we cannot let a market solve this problem." Are there issues, with it? Sure, but only the extreme among us argue that organ markets would be an improvement. Every market is open to this critique to various degrees.

If I don't want to generate a lot of mess, broken glass and heavy metal residue, does anyone have a recommendation for an affordable service to securely shred old devices in a trusted and transparent way?

Commercially I've used some of the bigger services, but at home I have a growing collection of old phones and hard-drives which are too broken to easily recover, and so need destructive erasure.

I don't really trust the "just drop it off with some big corp" approach, and would rather somewhere that is more transparent.

Basically looking for the Iron Mountain "we shred it in front of you" type deal, but for non-big companies.

I'm a moderate/independent and probably a capitalist due to the pragmatism. However, I tell people that I would be a radical socialist if it worked.

I might be okay with inefficiencies if we really could get rid of class, or that we could keep our excess value of labor. That puts me on the extreme side.

The less extreme side just seems inefficient and creates a class of government workers/politicians who control resources are the new upper class.

It really sounds like you want capitalism with some sort of redistribution or better taxation. I most recently found Green Capitalism as a word I could likely get behind, but it still suffers from the issue of resources going through government workers/politicians.
