viztor··on The Left-NIMBY Canon
Although, put it in larger scale, you can't live in two houses simultaneously. Renovation would probably drive price up in a single neighborhood. Yet as long as housing supply is increased, we should expect to see a overall drop in rent.
viztor··on What is happening to Lazada is happening to all companies acquired by Alibaba
This is a meme, I fail to understand why it's HN worthy
viztor··on Ask HN: Co-founder wants me to leave but won't entertain a buy out offer
Growth from 2k to 60k is an important tipping point.

There should be a buyout at this point. Valuation based on income result in 5k * 12 * 15 * 40% = 360k, which should be a fair price. valuation based on funding would be around 400k, which would be similar.

You can have that written down as a contract, not necessarily direct cash payment, but cash payable, and have your co-founder to sign as guarantor, which would not be a bad price for him, and not a bad price for you too. Deduct the 3% if you want.

viztor··on Zero-Bundle-Size React Server Components
Just a thought: Does this mean we can just throw in server code in our app, and it is possible to have zero React code downloaded on the client side? That is, we can have a "server-only" React, even though it might not be ideal?
viztor··on Starting Sunday, cable companies can no longer ‘rent’ you the router you own
A more plausible alternative explanation is that that way the city doesn't have to continue to pay maintenance for the network.
viztor··on You have the right to record police in public, federal court rules
the right to record isn't necessarily the right to publish.
viztor··on Poll: Will you take the Covid vaccine?
I doubt any one would spread with intent, which is probably criminal.
viztor··on Sales tax creates more unnecessary pain than value added tax
In a sense, sales tax benefits giant factories, and VAT promotes small businesses along the supply chain. It's possible for a solo trader to optimize one operation to compete with a giant factory, but not all operations.
viztor··on Hyundai to acquire Boston Dynamics
That's only true when people have money to allocate beyond necessities, and when they all have around the same amount of initial capital.
viztor··on DoorDash from Application to IPO
There have always been a lot of those, cooking group meals, lunches for cooperation/events. It's always there, just DoorDash enabled those kitchens to take individual customers, which would have only been possible with a storefront, before the time of digital delivery service.
viztor··on DoorDash from Application to IPO
People just looking for food will get them at a lower price.

People go to the restaurant for the restaurant and everything with it will still go to the restaurant.

It's an entirely different market, the segmentation of which DoorDash enabled.

viztor··on Russia gives Edward Snowden permanent residency
Where is the divide and conquer in this? Don't mismatch a popular strategy.
viztor··on Julian Assange is not on trial for his personality
Anyone who leaks national security will of course in the end of the day have links to or formed such with foreign powers, otherwise, they won't be able to sustain themselves in the most fundamental way possible.
viztor··on Bottlerocket, an open source Linux distribution built to run containers
This reminds of CoreOS
viztor··on Alcohol as a social technology to check the trustworthiness of others (2014)
This isn't something new. Psychologies has concluded it's easier people friends with those who they 'commit crimes' (doing something evil) together. Consuming alcohol is just one of those, only it's way too popular.
viztor··on Microsoft to continue discussions on potential TikTok purchase in the US
Apple just don't do those things. It will be extremely unusual.
viztor··on Coronavirus: Santa Clara County has had 50 to 85x more cases than we knew about
for 3, sampling bias would not account for much as the coronavirus will catch you regardless of someone's socio-economical status. The difference is mostly just survival rate.
viztor··on TikTok told moderators to suppress posts by “ugly” people and the poor
Unfortunately, those written document are nothing more than ugly but accurate reflection of the market. TikTok does this the same reason Hollywood does. The only difference no one in Hollywood wrote it down, but it is almost as a taken.
viztor··on Can we stop Covid-19 using Bluetooth?
You can't.

The Chinese Government already deployed Health Code, which pulls data from cell towers to check for cross paths with confirmed or suspected patients, and shows on screen as green, yellow or red colored QR code.

To have this Bluetooth idea effective, you need to have sufficiently numbers of installation, and which can be insanely difficult if it weren't pushed by big corps or the government
