It's worth noting that the buyer, Live Current Media, is based in Vancouver, BC. Anecdotally, that area seems to have a large number of Smalltalkers.

Individual rates can be ridiculous, organizations like the Freelancers Union may fix that. Beyond the difference in cost per individual, when health care is tied to an employer it can be a deterrent from changing employers. For instance, a

But what if it wasn't short-term. What if YC alumni decided to band together for health care? A group of independent contractors is maybe simpler to think about than YC and the companies it produces. It may be that health care being tied t

It's interesting that this article is at the top of the front page -- unexpected topic to fit the category of hacker news. My theory: problem solving and unconventional solutions are of interest to hackers and this article presents poverty

Category theory shares a lot with set theory, but they are different - they make different assumptions and each is better suited at describing certain types of systems. Graph theory is also its own topic in math, though sets can be used to

I'm in a similar situation and have the same concern. I've told friends about the idea and gotten them to try out the prototype, but I haven't done anything more. Keeping the idea close is partly out of concern that someone with better tim

Category theory is important to type theory and semantics (Pierce, see below, also wrote several books on types in programming languages) and offers a different representation of computational flow (monads, arrows). Benjamin Pierce's "Basic

The problem may be that the growth of users and, it follows, submissions is independent from the growth of HN-worthy postings. That is, there isn't enough good content for everyone to make good contributions. As more "poor" submissions are

I'm surprised no one brought up column-oriented databases. When attributes can be added dynamically and/or are have a small value set, column-oriented databases with bitmap indices outperform traditional relational databases. See MonetDB fo
