I can't really argue with you but I have lots of sympathy for the kid despite him being a criminal. It's probably because I was born in a country occupied by Russia until the 90s and his is still and I can't bring myself to wish this unto anyone. It's probably not a good idea to trust a con-man but I think he's likely to become a net positive asset to society.
There might be a long queue of people willing to volunteer but 99.9999% of them would be incapable of doing the job so the mission would fail. Most would give up before they leave Earth. A lot would break down and make errors during the travel. Of the remaining few, most wouldn't be able to do useful science at the other end. If you want the mission to be more successful than "Yay, we got a human corpse to crash on Mars!" then you need to optimise for attracting people who can actually successfully execute the mission operations. That isn't so cheap.

What causes the prices to be high is supply and demand driven by a combination of wealth inequality and frequency of legal action. There are people with enough money, and enough at stake, to offer the best attorneys lots of money, therefore quality legal services are quite expensive.

If time is an illusion, what explains the illusion? What's the illusion made of? How can I get more of it, or lose it?

Sure, there are time-dilation effects in special and general relativity, but those are theories that explicitly mention time and timelike dimensions. Time, in those theories, is not at all an illusion.

So: if it's an illusion, what is the illusion made of?
To me it makes a lot more sense to start with a few decades of robotic mining and construction (and release publicly funded technology to the public domain so it can also benefit the 99.99999% of Earthlings who will never step foot on Mars).

A good rule of thumb for the floor value of miles is a $0.01 per mile (i.e. a penny). From a value perspective, you usually get a better exchange for business and first. Of course, you may or may not normally pay for those upgraded seats if it were your own cash so imputing the actual value is difficult in that case.

Ask HN: Platform to Equity Fund and Get Ideas Off the Ground
As far as I know, if you want to raise money to get your idea off the ground (i.e., build the MVP and test the premises), you need to either invest your own money or ask friends and family members for it.

Do you think it would be useful if we had a platform to connect entrepreneurs looking for this get-my-idea-off-the-ground money with people willing to invest in such an early stage?

I believe it could be worth it for both sides, since the amount of money we are talking about here is usually small.

For instance, most software-related projects could probably be launched on a $10k or $20k budget, and I believe many entrepreneurs would be willing and happy to give up 10% or 20% of the project in exchange for this early investment, especially at a point where all they have is an idea and a business plan.

For the investor it could be worth it because, despite the risk being higher, the equity he would get would be pretty high for such a low investment.

I don't believe there are similar concepts around. Kickstarter is not equity funding, for instance, and the other platforms require you to already have a product and some traction to show before you raise money.

Could this fly?
Thanks, I've been hearing a lot about this package, I think it's one I will check out.

That is sure some good writing because it touches so many problems our generation face. I would like to point out the question mentioned, why are we different from the great generation?

So here is a little love story about a vet from the great generation. Grandfather had 6 gunwounds and worked all his life on a coal mine in Siberia. He also was the happiest man I ever met.

He was sent to army because he was dating the wrong girl, my grandmother. Some local "boss" wanted to merry her so he sent my grandpa to the army. After three years of service grandfather had been offered to go to a Militar Academy, thats when he got a letter telling him that he had a daughter. It also stated thet grandmother went to work on coalmines on Shpitzbergen (google it), so her parents and little daughter get additional food supplies.

So he rejected the offer, droped out of the force and went back to Siberia. The army was not happy about it. He didnt get any military benefits, no badges, no pension, no documents of where he's been or what he's done. Only 6 gunwounds on his leg, arm and torso. When he got back he's made a fake electricians papers and got a job on a local coal mine. When grandmother found out that he is back she returned home in a few months. They got married and had 2 more kids. My granddad worked on the same coal mine for the rest of his life. They lived and died in the same 500sf wooden duplex. Coal heating, cold water 300 meters away from the home, WC in the yard. He drove one single motorcycle all his life. They have never had a phone, so he walked to the post office once a week to talk to his daughters.

How come he's been the happiest man I've ever met? Well, he loved fishing, his yard, cards and his family. He died a few years ago. His daughters had to fly half the world to get to the funeral. One lives in Tuscany, Italy, another in Santa Clara, CA.

What made that generation great? Maybe they did what had to be done and were happy about it. Perhaps they never expected much from life and tresured little what they had. Sure they had something our generation is missing.

PS: Grandfather's sister told this story to my aunt only after he died. He's never mentioned army or the hardtimes.

This seems like a simple equation to me. The kid needs to be without further recourse, and the drug company needs to be indemnified. After that, what's wrong with it? A last ditch effort is better than no effort, at least in the hearts of the parents that are about to suffer the worst fate that can befall a human being - losing a child.

(I know it's not "simple.")
Can't help you with workflow, but I was on Notes for many years and to be honest, while the actual client is pretty terrible, the webmail client was OK. Not great ... but bearable.
I'm kinda bummed that they are waiting for what seems like an arbitrary date to non-VS devs (I do my dev work on a Linux personal machine and an OSX work machine). But hey, I can wait a couple extra days, I suppose.
afaik it's certainly not any kind of established fact that time isn't a property of the universe. Time is fundamental to causality, which makes it hard to reduce away. I've heard it theorized that a linear conception of time may be a product of consciousness, i.e. time flows in many directions but we are only able to perceive it in the direction we flow.
I just call that 'executing a right-turn'.
I do take issue with the position of the turn area. Because the turn leads to a contraflow cycle lane on a one-way road with the cycle lane on the 'wrong' side, the position to take up when waiting to turn right is sooner than for a normal junction which confounds the expectations of every other road user around you, unless they know the area and/or are paying full attention.
Enterprise Software Platforms Are Entering Their Third Generation
When I was young and dumb (now I guess I'm just dumb) and coming out of undergrad in the Midwest, I interviewed at Epic. Initially the experience was awesome - cool office spaces (the founder is an eccentric art collector), subsidized healthy lunch options, lots of young people around.

But after I left the interview I did some research to find awful Glassdoor reviews of the company - the worst I've seen. There were also articles which alluded to heavy lobbying (not necessarily a bad sign, just weird) to get their software and services legally or protectively into hospitals.

Overall an interesting company that I'm glad I avoided.

Hi HN! We are the developers! Here’s more details before things get crowded )'(

We have been working on this for 1.5 years and we think it’s now ready to receive your input.

— — — — — — — —

Here are some details:

1. QO disassembles any flight and reassembles them using a process which includes a self-learning knowledge of the best connections for any flight route. It combines flights to create better priced itineraries that let the traveler visit more of the world for less.

2. This takes advantage of non-partnered, low-cost, and route specialized flights.

3. We think this type of flight search opens a free market for airlines to compete against one another on prices, and helps to break-down the current pricing model based heavily on supply limitations. So, the more one-ways booked with those specialty trans-Atlantic/Pacific flights the cheaper it costs for us all to travel furthers everyone’s possibilities of seeing more of this big planet we call Earth!

4. We strongly believe that travel hacking has the potential to help bring online flight booking into the future, it is 2015 and about time!

This is why you don't test in production.

With any "all you can eat" scenario - especially high valued ones, it may be best to cap the number of participants so you can at least observe their behavior and cap your risk. It would also help with price discovery so you can truly calculate the value you are offering and price accordingly.

As a healthcare IT professional I find this to be a highly misleading portrayal of what Epic is and its place in the industry. Epic is admittedly typical enterprise software that doesn't meet the standards we've come to expect in the 21st century. But you have to take that in the context of healthcare which is at least 20 years behind in this respect.

Epic is far more sophisticated and good than 90% of the other options in use by real hospitals today. I'm only half joking when I tell my friends in tech that it's hard for me to talk about what I've seen. Not just bad software but horrible 80s era curses GUIs, truly garbage proprietary query languages, systems with 100 different pieces of shoddy vendor garbage bolted on here and there to cover the gaps in their functionality.

Epic is best in class--and that's sad. Maybe 20 years from now we'll have EMR and patient accounting systems that will please 2015 HN.

>Maybe this is just Bizspark though, and doesn't apply to normal MSDN subscriptions.

Yes, the BizSpark situation would be understandable. In that case, dev teams of startup companies are getting 3 years of free (or $100?) Microsoft software. It is to be expected for some quid pro quo to happen: MS lets you use software for free -- and you in turn, are required to actively sign in.

That's a different situation from retail/enterprise MSDN subscriptions. Enterprise customers such as corporations and government are not intended for BizSpark so it wouldn't make sense to punish those paying customers with draconian login requirements. In any case, many of those enterprise customers behind firewalls can't connect to the internet.

What else is a proper compensation to a (inflation-adjusted) 1 million dollar investor to whom you don't want to grant a share of the company?

Edit: To the downvoters: This is a serious question, not snark. Folks are claiming that these tickets were a stupid idea. If you read the article, you discover that these tickets were compensation to million-dollar investors. AA needed that money. They had to give something to get it. If they were to give something other than those tickets, what should it have been?

Remember that someone who has a million dollars laying around will expect that they get more than a million dollars out of their investment. That's generally how investment works.
We used 8.5 here as well. Its a piece of crap. I've worked in places where we had total Outlook integration with Lync and I enjoyed using that stuff much more. 8.5 is pretty much from the time of XP and it shows. Plus, we handle a bunch of very important things through Notes, like purchase approvals.

Recently, we've had to renew a license on this software we are integrating into a product for a customer. Except we can't get a renewal because someone can't approve the order because they don't use Notes. Why is everything handled within this aging ecosystem? I have no clue. IBM really made something awful here.

One of the problems in Argentina's elections is that volunteers of political parties steal the ballots of smaller parties from the voting room, and since these small parties don't have the man power or monetary resources to restock the ballots, they lose votes. A better solution would be single paper ballot, but the ruling parties don't want this because they are who benefit for the current system.

That said, this system prevents chain voting (a mechanism to make sure the votes that parties buy from low-income people are not changed).
> The really confounding thing is why the investors would or should get any $$

This actually brings up an annoyance with FF (well, Pale Moon, but same difference). If you try to open, say, pchs.co:17 with FF, it'll pop up a prompt saying "this address is restricted" - with no way of overriding it.

You have to go into the config and add a key (!) to actually be able to access it. And worse, there's no way I've seen to actually just straight disable the "feature". You have to add an individual port, or a range of ports, or a comma-separated list of ports or ranges.

(For those wondering, it's "network.security.ports.banned.override", with a value of a port, or range, or comma-separated list of ports or ranges. For example: "7,13,17".)

Once you do, it works fine.
