I’ll bite and say my firm CastingWords ( http://castingwords.com )

Even though just existing 9 years after the interview would have been a failure condition for our build to flip mindset at the time - but today it’s paying the founders salaries and still providing intersting challenges - so a success as we define it.

And it must be said that the advice we got in our interview (that we rejected - no doubt one of the reasons we were turned down) was dead on - not just for what it would take to make the company a successful startup, but also for seeing some of the challenges in the road ahead. Just the interview was a fantastically useful.

And the fact that we rejected the advice was probably a good indicator that what we really wanted out of our company was not a startup, but rather a platform to play with interesting technology and business problems and make money doing it. Startups really aren’t for everyone. YC was part of us discovering that.
They charge ridiculously high prices. But they can get away with it because Japan's roads make poor competition (there's not room for any more).

In many ways it's the other way around: the US has a massively subsidized road network that makes rail uncompetitive. But it's also simply that land is so much cheaper in the US that there's less need to use it efficiently.

If you're suggesting that a typical school day in England delivers enough or nearly enough hours of strong-enough sunlight then that seems hard to square with the large increase in myopia right across the developed world, not just Asia (unless one rejects the strong-light hypothesis, of course). If strong light on its own isn't sufficient then of course adding artificial light to classrooms won't be sufficient; but in that case the Yangxi school experiment presumably won't be successful either.

> and greed

You need to stop reading/watching material that promotes this nonsense about business and, perhaps, try running a business for a while.

What this ideology calls "greed" is what every business, from the local small bakery shop to a multinational has to do: Optimize for profits while delivering product that satisfies customer needs at the right value and quality level. If they miss either or both of the last two they lose business to competitors who do a better job.

Was Steve Jobs greedy? It's funny how when that example is brought up those characterizing big business as being greedy suffer a short circuit in the brain.

Now, wait a minute, before you down-vote, Steve Jobs and Apple sell some of the most grotesquely overpriced tech in the world and the company is exploding with cash. Ain't that greedy?

Oh, you say their hardware isn't grotesquely overpriced because of the value and quality it offers? BTW, I own a bunch of it myself. PC's as well. Not overpriced? OK. I guess the company OPTIMIZED their offerings to FIT WHAT THEIR CUSTOMERS WANT.

How about that? They are not greedy after all. They are doing what every company large and small has to do: Optimize for profits while delivering product that satisfies customer needs at the right quality level. If they miss either or both of the last two they lose business to competitors who do a better job.

Yup. Greedy bastards.

Ask HN: Best E-commerce Platforms
My startup is looking into adding e-commerce functionality to our business. I've been exploring different e-commerce platform options, and they all look like they have different pros and cons. We're using meteor.js for some internal software already, so I've been looking closely at Reaction Commerce (https://reactioncommerce.com), and also Moltin (YC backed, pure API). Shopify is a big player in this space, but I think you give up some control and customizability with them. I'm curious to get other's thoughts on their experiences. Thanks!

Some of the gas I once bought in San Diego melted the fuel line in my chainsaw immediately. It didn't even manage to start before the little hose collapsed and melted.

FWIW, you can still buy ethanol free gas at certain pumps at marinas/boat yards. Ethanol is hydroscopic, so adding it in high concentrations will usually absorb too much water out of boat gas tanks, since boat gas tanks virtually all have some water in them.

You have to keep in mind that they have a) positive (if small) efficiency b) capture CO2 c) produce chemicals instead of electricity

If you don't compare this to photovoltaics and look at carbon capture instead (which consumes energy, thus reducing efficiency of the power plant) then this already is a win.

Not to mention that the CO2 captured isn't just in liquid form - which is not trivial to store permanently - but in a useful, easy-to-handle form.
The budget airlines provide such a customer hostile experience that many people prefer trains. These are (England) sometimes awful, but mostly okay and can be nice.

Commuting tends to be worse than the occaisional train journey. The baffling fare structure drastically needs reform -- the same journey can either cost £27 or £72 -- these will be the same class on the same day, just different times. It's frustrating. I like the Virgin trains - I've only ever had an unfun experience on one when the aircon broke. I really hate GWS and I will try to avoid using them where possible, even using a coach would be better. (Virgin trains have power sockets; GWS don't; even a National Express coach has power sockets and free wifi)

I think you are confusing containers and VMs. Containers use the kernel from the hosting machine, so if you want to use a container on a non-native host, you have to use a VM.

VM technology is advanced enough that you can do development on a non-native platform, but it won't be quite as smooth, and adding containers on does complicate things quite a bit, because you now have a container running in a VM running on the native platform, having to deal with three layers of networking etc...

I'm not sure I understand your question about government. To my mind, a government isn't really a coherent actor. The individuals within it should have a good understanding of the problems they're working on, and for me that should include a personal, empathetic understanding of the individuals affected. Which I think is mostly what happens. I think a lot of our problems happen where government actors (officials and staff alike) are not representative with respect to the problem. E.g., Ferguson was such a mess because there was a strong race/class differential between the government and the governed. That not only created problems, but kept them from getting solved and prevented an effective response when things boiled over.

So if I understand the question correctly, I think that everybody should collect stories and that the aggregation should mainly be internal and via trust relationships. E.g., a congressperson can't meet everybody, and they'll have a particular set of biases depending on how they grew up. But their can cultivate a diverse selection of staff and advisors, and they can encourage those people to seek out broad contact with society.

That said, I think statistics-driven checks on things can help point out holes in that aggregation of stories. I recently heard about a city that was working on their long-term housing plan. Their main means for citizen contact was through public meetings about the plan. But a little looking at stats showed that the people at the public meetings were all homeowners, while the city was half renters. I'm sure city officials were disproportionately homeowners as well, and also more likely to know homeowners.

I'm also excited to see to what extent the Internet lets us avoid the various filtering biases. Even today a St. Louis politician could have manually used Twitter to get a semi-random sampling of stories as a check on what they were learning officially. I have a lot of hope for how technology shifts can help us transform citizen engagement in government.
Of note: this is a recurring issue that has decades of history. See, for instance, http://www.equalrightscenter.org/site/DocServer/Taxicab_Repo...

Another issue that got some press for a couple years after 9/11 is Muslim drivers refusing to let guide dogs into their cars. (Aside: this would probably be legal under all the religious freedom restoration acts going around.)

The best thing about Uber consolidating the taxi industry is that it rationalizes these practices and makes them legible to democratic processes and regulation.

Yep. I could tolerate the longer travel times, but long distance train travel gets really expensive really quickly. For the price of a round-trip train ticket across Germany (Berlin to Cologne, around €100), I could also fly to London, Paris, Amsterdam, etc.

If anything there is TOO MUCH regulation. There are so many hoops you have to jump through before you're allowed to do animal experiments that it's almost ridiculous at this point in several institutions. I was on a team which proposed an experiment in which we wanted to monitor the uptake of trace quantities of known compounds and their derivatives in hair. The doses would have been far below anything toxic and the only procedures were injection of the compound and shaving the rodents while they were under anesthetic. This experiment took WELL OVER A YEAR to make it through multiple animal welfare committees and for investigators to get the required training; so long that we ended up dropping the proposal all together.

Please also keep in mind that most experiments are being done on mice, animals which people have no problem killing and attacking in their homes using brutal techniques (sticky traps, terrible poisons, spring loaded traps) or feeding to their caged pets while still alive with no moral qualms whatsoever.

Facebook’s solution is an open-source project called React Native that builds on its successful React project for Web development. Facebook claims that React Native will let the same set of engineers build applications in the same way for either iOS or Android. This time the company has set its sights a little more realistically than it did with HTML5. React Native is a learn-once-run-everywhere (LORE) app development tool.
It does HBO Nordic injustice to say it is similar to HBO Go. HBO Go requires a subscription to the linear HBO TV channel. HBO Nordic is free of user-hostile tying to cable TV. And unlike HBO Now, HBO Nordic isn't Apple TV exclusive.

In other words the Nordic offering is better than either of the over-IP HBO offerings in the U.S. Says a lot of how dysfuntional the HBO situation in the U.S. is when they don't offer their best service domestically.
The Uber driver app and orientation reinforce over and over that you must serve people with service dogs. Just FYI.
So, am I right in understanding this to mean that Google will change how they rank sites, adding (more?) weight to a site's mobile-friendliness, even if queried from a non-mobile machine?

That doesn't make a lot of sense to me at first, and doesn't seem to be what's necessarily best for users.

If I search for something on my 1920x1200-pixel desktop, I don't want Google to prioritize results that display well (and thus might contain less information) on mobile screens.

So I guess (and hope) I'm wrong, and it's just me reading badly, or poor reporting. :)
Can I ask what was the advice that you turned down? it's very interesting that after all this time you still consider that the interview was fantastically useful. I'll consider applying for mine just to hear their thoughts.
I know this was a few days ago, but I forgot to check back. The reason I ask, is that this company http://seakeeper.com/ used to be a customer of mine.

We (in the west) have spent a lot of money doing that already. The local governments should take care of that anyway.
Nobody is going to stop you setting up a tent there. Creating a factory or even a city would be another issue, but as long as you think like a hobo an unenforced rule is meaningless. The same thing applies large stretches of the US let alone much of Afghanistan or other failed states.

You might be astounded at the lengths businesses go to to win ADA lawsuits. My girlfriend uses a wheelchair, and after months of negotiation with the clinic where her doctor works, she brought suit against them for not providing her with accessible tables, or indeed an accessible bathroom to provide urine samples in. She's an activist who routinely gets arrested for acts of civil disobedience. Anyhow, the clinic's lawyers asked her lots of questions about her prior arrests and criminal record, as if having one permitted them to violate her civil rights. Unfortunately it was a video deposition, so while her lawyer could object strenuously and while the judge could (and ultimately did) ignore the lines of questioning, they still grilled her about irrelevance in order to justify not providing the accommodations.

The absolutely insane thing about all of this is that the clinic already had most of the accommodations in question. They had accessible tables already, they just didn't teach front desk staff about them and had policies set up that required doctors to work exclusively in specific areas. The only significant change was a bathroom remodel, and they're not a small clinic by any means. But the fact that they dragged her criminal history into the light made absolutely no sense, compounded by the fact that said criminal history involved getting arrested specifically to fight access violations like that one.

Not at all surprised by Uber's tactic here. Sickens me that we still have to fight very basic battles like these 25 years after the ADA was passed. I just want to grab some people and shake them until loose braincells fall into place or something.

Edit: Oh, right, and opposing counsel wanted the passwords to her Gmail and Facebook so they could read anything she wrote about the clinic in question. They also considered expanding that request to anyone she may have spoken to/emailed about them (I.e. me as her boyfriend.) I wish they'd have tried that so I could pull in counsel of my own.
The reason for the 404 is because by default no action is bound to / in the proplists for the priv/<appname>.routes file. It tells you that quite succinctly. Explicitly heading to /greeting/hello works, as shown in the quickstart. Modifying the routes file is a good next step.

Your complaint boils down to there not being a pretty "Welcome" page. That could be addressed, but it's hardly a major concern.

Yes, but why Europe produced so many angry young crusaders is also an interesting question that touches on gender and family issues. IIRC the Norman practice of dividing an estate among all surviving sons led, after a few generations, to large populations of land-hungry armed horsemen on tiny estates. Thus the Normans exported mercenary and conquering armies all over Europe, starting with England through the Crusades.
