This can be true but ultimately if this is a fear, you need VC money.

If it has revenue and is growing then I would look to get a loan to double down on what is working. Pay back the loan whilst increasing revenue and keep the entire company to yourself/team. The additional revenue can offset the expense

Trouble is that most 'bad' companies (banks/pharma in particular) allocate and write off money for fines as a cost of doing business. These fines won't cripple a company, it will just allow them to test what limits they

Yup, had this little gem appear for me on a very random video. So much so that I had to suspect that it was more of a requirement so that your credit card is locked and loaded for spending.

The trouble is not with the ease of development but the centralization and ease of finding the restaurant. Marketplaces provide a one-stop location for customers, instead of searching Google then scrolling and clicking through each site to

Check out Google Dorks, it provides every option to essentially search and find many, many things.

I strangely had the same experience with hay fever. Never suffered from it then right around 15 it hit me pretty bad. I moved countries 5 years ago and again I no longer have hay fever symptoms so for sure they are not simple.

This is something that I've been told over and over - early exposure to things like dust, pollen, nuts etc basically eliminates allergies when older. As an example, I was never exposed to cats early age but dogs yes. Now I have a mild

Of course, USA and China still seem to be doing fine and everyone wants to do business. US of A and their war on [drugs|WMDs|insert other reason] happens outside of the country so the millions of dead doesn't matter?

Terrorist Police in London just hit a little different. Machine guns, 5 police to 1 person, all separated apart. Refusing to do so was just not worth the back and forth, generally speaking we would have given them a hard time. But essential

Exactly, literally every time I see these articles I just think of the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_surveillance_in_the_Unite... I remember being questioned on terrorism charges outside St. Pauls Cathedral, a

I would say the same feeling is had with global warming and climate change. You can't really see it, you can't really connect rainfall + sunlight directly to anything to do with the climate because it really is all just invisible.

1. We are so awful at predictions. 2. Tech predictions live and die by hype cycles (which gets a nice little write up in this article https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/8-lessons-from-20-years-hype-... where the author rev

Youtube Premium is a perfect example IMO. I know a lot of people who flat out refuse to do a trial, me included. So clearly people are happy to be advertised to so why not show them things they might be interested in via tracking?

Because people like products and tangible things. Look at the Apple accessories - overpriced, overengineered yet people will happily overpay, lose it and then pay for it again. Ask someone for £3 for a full vehicle check to know if it'

But 1000 HN readers paying $X per month for a web browsing service is not going to pay for the R&D needed to overcome Google's amazing ability to search the web. ex. $5 per month from 1000 HN readers is only $5000. This is petty mo

Its literally why things like Solar Wind hacks happen with cost cuts. Also products become unfixable, you get locked-in, random shit happens that requires everyone to spend a little extra and so on. It always amazes me that people who adore

The traffic light system is used in the UK to show how much sugar/salt/fat is in the product. To be honest it shocked me to see so much red for salt so it definitely was eye opening. The issue with this, that I can now see, is tha

So it would definitely need to be category specific but I do think this could be a hugely interesting idea for organic products etc

This is brilliant! I even love the additional information added such as 'you don't have to avoid sugar completely' (are these coloured boxes also visible on the label or is it just for illustrative purposes?).

by melomal 5y ago
When you say actual calories, what do you mean? Sugar etc is all there to view and basically legally required. Are there any other pieces of information that you would like to see?

Ask HN: What information would you like to see on product labels?

Yup, most people have weak cores from poor posture and sitting down all the time. Standing up has to engage your core and keep it stable. Literally dealing with a pulled back because I haven't done core strength in months. The differen

This is very true. I wonder how often restaurants change their menus. I live on the coast of Poland and 5 years later of living here, I can probably tell you what the menu is for the 5 'hot' locations to go to because it literally

Exactly, you would be sitting pretty right now. All of my 'successes' (granted they are very small but hey you gotta take some wins from time to time) have come from opportunities which arose from conversation.
