High School Fizzle Syndrome – Predicting Future Successhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21910408Given the high number of accomplished people on HN, I'm curious about the phenomenon that some people call "High School Fizzle Syndrome" -- when former high school superstars fade into the background in their adult life. In this case I'm referring more specifically to the academic superstars rather than, say, athletic superstars.At my high school there were a large number of academic superstars. These were people who routinely placed first in national and international competitions, were class presidents, had perfect GPA's and standardized test scores, were Rhodes Scholars, and went on to gain admission to coveted colleges like Harvard/Yale/Stanford/MIT. The fierce competition was encouraged by teachers and parents alike. The superstar students complied with the demand -- these were highly motivated, extremely hardworking and talented individuals. The consensus was that, as a result of their early impressive achievements, they were destined for great things later in life.In hindsight, Dec 30, 2019 2:55 AM

Why can't we use a HTTP request header to get rid of all cookie consent popups?https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21627271I suspect I'm not the only person annoyed by all the GDPR cookie and tracking consent popups every single site now has. Many sites even go as far as to not give a "No" answer option. You only have "Agree to all tracking" and "Configure" and when you click Configure it sends you down a rabbit hole of wasted time so most users simply click "Agree" to get rid of the damn annoyance.It would be hugely better to simply set some setting in your browser that would send a request header to every web site you visit that contains your GDPR preferences. Then every site would have to comply with this by default.This could be a general purpose header that could send various user preferences, for example it could also tell the website the end user is a child under 13 years of age so the site wouldn't collect certain stats automatically to comply with US Coppa law.To me this is an obvious solution that would be a lot easier to implement than all those GDPR popups and it would result in a much better uNov 25, 2019 11:52 AM

Launch HN: Stir – Government Procurement as a Servicehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21381411Hey HN!I'm Jay Nath, founder of STIR (https://www.cityinnovate.com).STIR is a digital platform that connects the world’s most innovative tech companies with governments to solve challenges over 16 weeks. At the end of the 16 weeks governments can choose to go into contract with the startups (nearly 80% get a contract). Our key innovation is streamlining govt procurement by 10X: govts can issue an RFP in days vs months/yrs and startups can respond in hours vs days/weeks of effort.I created STIR when I worked for the Mayor of San Francisco to help close the innovation gap between cities and private-sector. It never ceased to amaze me how many of workflows and services were paper-based or put together using a MS Access database and yet we're surrounded by so much tech talent.My vision was to help catalyze the growth of the govtech ecosystem by creating startup-friendly contract opportunities. Something that was really important to me was ensuring that governments articulated their pain poOct 28, 2019 8:41 PM

Launch HN: Multis (YC S19): online business bank account for cryptocurrencyhttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21280238Hi HN,We're Théophile and Thibaut, and we're building Multis (https://multis.co): an online bank account designed for companies holding cryptocurrency. We're helping them store it, spend it and earn interest.We have been in this industry for the past 3 years. Thibaut used to lead sales at Stratumn, a Nasdaq-backed company helping companies securing their shared workflows through cryptocurrencies. Théo built several decentralized applications before starting the company in 2018.Wallets are the cornerstone of the industry: you need them to store and transact with cryptocurrencies. But these wallets are not designed for business. You cannot perform simple business operations like running a payroll, paying vendors, or earning interest, which you can currently do from your modern business bank account.Cryptocurrencies - and particularly stablecoins - are a reliable, fast and cost-efficient medium of exchange. It’s a technology that enables anyone to move value and assets across borders, witOct 17, 2019 9:25 AM

Each time, it has been stuck after rebooting. The only way to use the phone after that is to reboot several times, until the phone reboots into Android 9.It seems like many others have the same problem:https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/13519859?hl=enI contacted Pixel support via live chat, but the person who tried to help me:- claimed that no one else had reported this problem before (even though there are many reports of this problem over the last week on Google's own forums)- gave me incorrect information multiple times- recommended troubleshooting steps which were not known to be a solution to the problem I was having- gave me only one option to escalate the issue (get an email from a supervisor within 24 hours)I did receive a follow-up email, but again it included generic troubleshooting steps which did not reflect the information I had provided during the chat.I really don't want to do a factory reset, as iSep 11, 2019 9:52 AM
