The analogy might be akin to a non profit Toastmasters club that charges members a small amount to hire a room.

Restaurants are in the small business part of the scale

Non Profit->Small Business->Growth Business->VC Backed Growth Business->Unicorn

Where nefarious treatment of customers correlates to the X axis.

They Enshittified too early?

It is full of Medium style enshittification for sure but it is par for the course for VC. I am sure they serve the Google Crawler a nice copy without authorization though.

So people are screaming for it to keep going. Good opportunity for someone to copy the site and take those believers.

Why legally?

Nice! Generic confidently written blurb as a service. Can you do my numerology, palm and astrology in the same hit.
datascienced··on Tell HN: Ever think of applying to YC? Do it this weekend for S24
Another question (as a seperate comment incase dang is replying to the other one):

This is the equity deal: https://www.ycombinator.com/deal

What if I don’t want to raise any more than the 7% (which in itself is $125k I don’t really need but happy to give 7% for the higher P(success))

What if I want to bootstrap from that point or at least keep options open?

datascienced··on Tell HN: Ever think of applying to YC? Do it this weekend for S24
Another (is this bogus?) reason for not applying is I am not in the US and would prefer not to migrate there due to family. Can a founder do YC with minimal time in USA or even do it remotely.
datascienced··on Daniel Dennett has died
Is that because of unrepented sin, or heaven not existing.

Could also mean it ended up for this reader as being entertainment. Wanting to read again because it is joyful.

In terms of learning I can’t read a book and remember it all. I would need to apply it.

It seems like a joke but judges wear wigs in the UK. It is a pure style/tradition thing why not start a new one!

Price of fruit/veg where I live makes me wonder why even grow illicit drugs.

datascienced··on Tesla discloses it spent $200k advertising on X
To what extent is marketing via shareholders viable.

Let’s say company does $1bn a year, and my decision adds $1m/y revenue (0.1%) and my share holding is 0.1% and worth $10m. This has made me $10k. Not insignificant but a person making that decision $10k bribe to make a suboptimal decision is bad value. Especially when it is not clear it happened due to volatility.

The real reason they may do it is favour for favours.

200k is tiny though. It is a non issue.
datascienced··on Multi-tenant queues in Postgres
I guess a queue handles spikes, and is OK for async-allowed operations such as generating a PDF and email it over say loading a web page.

A queue may give you time to scale up too?

Nice, this would be a great tabletop book for any SWE chill room.
datascienced··on Hardest problem in computer science: centering things
A 30kb font file kinda website is probably gonna serve a 2Mb all up web page which at 100kbps is a slow experience.

That is another axis around quick feedback loops. A shell script comes with a repl you don’t even need to invoke!
datascienced··on Hardest problem in computer science: centering things
Depends on who you want to be able to access your site. Not everyone had 10Mbps+
datascienced··on Hardest problem in computer science: centering things
Hmm. The big assumption is that centering is the intended thing and the most desirable thing in all of those examples.
