Interesting. I know they charge fees to restaurants, but I assumed even with those, the additional volume would still increase profits as the unit economics would improve. Cooks don't need to scale linearly to deliveries. But it seems

I don’t understand the reasoning behind restaurants charging a tax on deliveries. Don’t deliveries increase sales by a multiple of what they likely make on tables? Why disincentivize that?

Have you considered that he might not actually expect $7T, but this ask makes us think $1T is relatively reasonable and so he gets it?

My comment was not intended to let swatters of the hook. My point was that the harassment should be called “attempted harassment”, because it should never have been effective, although still punishable.

He’s not being harassed by the swatters. He’s being terrorized by the police. It’s important to call out the blame shifting stance authorities like to take. You don’t kick someone’s door 47 times and say someone tricked us into it. Their co

On a distributed application, your application might need proper time synchronization for the time component. Not when it is generated DB side.

That's where you see people manipulating/using others to get ahead. You don't need to actually help others, you just need to let them believe that long enough to get ahead. Manipulation is easier, but social norms favor the o

Often they’re afraid they’re being recorded. So the conversation should be more like asking for unrelated advice and then making some type of friendship, maybe asking for their contact if you needed any more clarification, etc. Also, they m

Problem is we need that as a species, but success is individual, and the playbook is not the same.

Most personalities are carefully curated/maintained. People can sometimes slip when overly stressed.

So I wonder. If we ever go back to zero interest rates, will companies start hiring like crazy again, or will they have learned?

We also seem to take it as fact that intelligence is an unchanging attribute you get at birth. Wouldn’t your brain upgrade itself as it optimizes for the world around it?

It is still not free. We need to stop redefining things.

I don’t think we should go down that rabbit hole of redefining self hosting ad anything other than host it in your own infra. So if AWS disappeared today, would your product still be self hosted? If being self hosted does not actually depen

I think being unreasonably pissed about certain things is good because it provides some randomness/wildcard behavior for those who enjoy modeling the masses behavior for profit, and think making mistakes is only about the numbers. Some

I understand the problem, but it feels like this existed for a while and no business manager cared about it until they started losing the RTO battle. This seems like a way to boost that argument without actually caring for the employees.

I think it’s always been, we just knew that the effort needed to fake many things requires some degree of skill available to a few and was often expensive. But perfect fakes have always existed. This is why artists usually sign their work?

Problem with this for example is when LE uses it to incriminate you, and forces you to prove that their evidence is fake. We can see from the Horizon scandal that when they want to keep you from defending yourself, they usually succeed.

Maybe they set a do not store flag for your info, because your data keeps coming in from their partners, even after you requested deletion. So to keep filtering for you and deleting, you need to pay their protection fee.

For foreign travelers I can see how missing a reference can lead to a fine.

The part where you mention “Good use case…” feels like you built it and are marketing it. Also maybe don’t mention that you built it on your Twitter account. Why not just submit a Show NH?

by figassis 3y ago
One difference I see is I heard very little about [name redacted] (first time was mid 2023), but Plausible pops up every few months to the top of HN. So they for sure have marketed harder. This also validates that maybe something like Setap

I don't think the way you productize something in order to extract more money makes it a different platform. I'm sure on the backend you just have different subscriptions on the same database.

VCs don't invest in a company to make it last forever. They want their 10x return as soon as humanly possible. So they push companies to grow as fast as possible and then exit (ie. sell to the next bag holders). Their strategy is not s
