Largely I agree with you, though I don't think your calculation of effort is quite complete. One factor that should be considered is the harm done by allowing the ads.

Facilitating the sale of a stolen phone is not going to be as harmful as facilitating, say, adulterated nutrition supplements.

This dovetails nicely with the full-on terrible and illegal side of things. There are likely not many ads for human trafficking on Facebook, but they are so horrendous that it is still worth expending significant effort to detect and remove them.

And while not comparable to the above situation, I would argue illegal Amazon land deals ads are causing an outsized harm compared to ads for similarly mundane-sounding illegal goods/service/whatever. They deserve special attention.
> Andrew Sorkin interviewed Bill Gates on Clubhouse on Friday. My eyes widened when I saw that, I questioned my initial assessment of the product and it’s velocity. Then I realized I was thinking of Aaron Sorkin. Andrew is some mainstream media journalist. I doubt Gates gave a hoot about the medium.

Funny, when I read that, my eyes equally widened, until your next sentence corrected the interviewer’s name in my head.

I believe Andrew runs DealBook on the NY Times, but I’m curious how the interview was conducted?

Bill Gates is on record some years ago, saying that “no iPhone for me” when asked if he used an iPhone. This was around the time Windows Phone lost the mobile market to iOS and Android, and since ClubHouse is iOS-only, I’m wondering how Gates was able to take part, unless he’s changed his mind since he was asked that question.
> people within different occupations tend to interpret the questions differently

There are also other types of ambiguity. For example when asking: "Do you keep your room in order?" - you might answer "yes" because that's what you do, but you only do it because it has been enforced into you over time, while if you were alone and free you'd keep it messy.

Do people respond with their instinctive reaction or with their trained reaction? Which one is the right answer? Depending on that you could get a different type.
What does his position on masks have to do with the arguments he is making here?
Local storage doesn't mean a lot these days anymore. Good luck with your DRM'd products when the validating server goes offline.
It's still mind boggling to me that enforcing public safety procedures can be interpreted as any sort of tyranny. He purposefully goes out of his way to not wear a mask, but still takes the time to keep one in his pocket to just see how far he can go breaking the rules.
It's being done all the time, and it's exactly what legislation is for. Workers rights, consumer protection, EPA, outlawing child labor and slaves, etc.

Subtle play of the classic HN "but does it scale?" joke. As if someone is concerned about how well martian parachute assembly processes scale :D
yes, actually a good portion of the users using Airtable asked for it, but it means that we might develop a back-end dedicated to this. We are exploring it at the moment. I sent a message to Colin to discuss the Clerk integration ;)
Where do you shop?

The problem with massive development efforts like this is that there aren't a lot of competitors. In this particular field, there are two, and not really even quite two exactly.
Yea, because no Bitcoin exchange or online wallet service has ever gone bankrupt, been hacked, and/or had employees disappear with everyone's money, leaving all of their customers high and dry. Nope, that's never happened...
I'm confused... Why would I want to ignore something which resonates with me? Isn't that the whole point of "resonance" and "feelings", to use them to guide our reason?

I would read the books on permissive parenting not to convince myself that it's right, but to find techniques and strategies which work.
I like these type of posts that are self-admittedly biased but based on real world experience. Together with the comments in this thread they are very useful.
I worked at two big companies in Chile since the last 3 years and I see microservices everywhere, it's huge here, almost a standard right now from my point of view.

We have still some monoliths, like some EARs in some Jboss on-premise but the cloud+kubernetes+microservices trend seems the obvious way to go for everybody.
Those monoliths are minimally maintained, new features go to microservices, and the end goal is to throw them out, it take years though.

It is very likely than microservices are way too small IMO, I've seen microservices just doing an IF, just doing an SQL select, or just adding some credentials in a HTTP header, stuff that could work in one service are sometimes splitted in tens of microservices.

Althought these microservices are Java/Spring Boot or Node/Express ones most of the times, despite the fact that you could potentially use the best tech for each microservice, managers want to maintain a limited tech stack where they can easily find cheap developers, basically Java and Javascript, some Python or Go maybe but not so much.

What strikes me the most is that it seems to work, till now at least, each developer have to maintain like between 3 and 10 microservices, but very simple ones.

Merging two microservices into one never happens.

Writing a new microservice is almost more frequent than evolving an existing one.

Is it a worldwide trend or am I living in a particularly excessive bubble?

30-50% more than the known extremes, looks outlandish to me.
Residents pay council tax, it's a banded tax and doesn't get very high even for the most expensive properties.
It's disappointing that I'm being voted down. The argument only proves that perhaps some vague thing which Goedel slaps the 'god' label on might exist, or might have existed. The fancy looking methodology only serves to obscure this obvious limitation of logical argument proofs.
I think the real story is how close and competitive the open source Stockfish engine is.
According to the report, upper management wasn’t at fault, the primary blame falls on two senior test pilots who lied to the FAA to keep MCAS documentation out of the manuals.

Now who pressured the pilots to act that way, who knows?
Hey, we are also trying to solve the resume, since 2015 - so I'll give some advice after scaling our resume software.

As far as scaling - I wrote an article on how we got our first 50k users here - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/0-50000-users-candid-look-cre...

Keep in mind:

• Success will come from your ability to execute on technology, design, branding, and finding a way to scale (SEO).

• Don't be discouraged by negative feedback if you believe in your idea.

• Build something that people care about - people will care about your mission or approach if the experience of using your product is memoriable.

• There's a lot of competition - So don't be discouraged by our progress

Alternatively don't use u2f on your root account, just on a standard user. And never touch the root account for anything other than provisioning users.
I haven't used GnuCash in many years, but when I did, it did not support envelope budgeting.
Do you know why? I also wonder this. I think I followed the paper correctly. My theory is that maybe there's a default male bias in the English languge?

Right, sorry I think I wasn't clear. I'm wondering how one goes about something like this

as.map(a =>
<tr>{
bs.map(b => <td onClick={() => foo(a, b)}></td>)
}</tr>
)

Notice how both `a` and `b` are passed into `foo`. There are other possible permutations, such as passing indices or properties of items. I believe it's possible to access `b.bar` easily enough, but it wasn't clear how to access `a` or the index of `as.map` from inside the inner loop.
Unfortunately I think it's one of those situations where the existing tech is "good enough" and there is not profit incentive to make it better. There is an incentive to amass a large user base (with associated network graph) so you can achieve a high valuation, but there is no incentive to create a new messaging protocol that can sit on top of the cell network.

If anything, this is a task for non-profit orgs like the IEEE, IETF, EFF, etc. to be working on and funding.

Anyone who has had the experience necessary to master Perl has serious chops as a programmer.
I took that quote as an example of the resources put into that evaluation: if two students in a lab can quickly get something competitive up and running, then we're likely to do very well if we throw more resources and expertise at the approach.
As long as the stove isn't a gas stove, since that's probably another one we can add to the list of things that we'll likely look back on with regret :)

Link with ads so they can get some small money for their content.
There's a difference between the CEO being out of money, and the company being out of money.
I wouldn't doubt that the majority of in-app ad clicks are kids. Sometimes I just let my 3-yr-old play with my phone, and he thinks the farting app is pretty funny, but he ALWAYS touches the ads.
Not as new as you'd think, either: In 1918, animation pioneer Winsor McCay created the silent short film "The Sinking of the Lusitania", showing the RMS Lusitania being torpedoed by German U-boats. With remarkably realistic drawings, the film was presented as a documentary, but the visuals were imagined, based on verbal accounts and supposition. It functioned largely as a propaganda piece to increase anti-German sentiment during WWI.

The simulated sinking of the Korean ship in the article has nothing on this. :)

Tangentially related: Four or five years ago I was an R&D intern working on replacing an ancient EOL'd embedded processor. We were targeting an FPGA with a soft processor (Alterra's Nios II), and found out they were powerful enough to run Linux directly. The device was doing realtime motion control, so we slapped two soft cores onto the FPGA and had them talk over drop-in bus. One did realtime, the other ran Python. It was a nifty way to hack on an HTTP status page, a test runner... not sure if it ever shipped.
Accredited investment law's have significantly reduced the impact of most pyramid schemes because they make it far harder to get the ball rolling still you can find a few more recent examples at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyramid_scheme but mostly they are outside the US.

For a better look at the pyramid schemes closest relative:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ponzi_schemes you can see several home grown examples mostly involving more wealthy people. What separates them IMO is Pyramid schemes give you plenty of foot soldiers to sell the idea, Ponzi schemes are limited to the initial con artists which focus on people with money by default.

PS: There is a friends and family exception to these things, so if you only need 30k you can probably collect to from people you already know. However, random strangers have a hard time distinguishing a reliable businesses from a con artist so it's a hard call to make.

> If you are pro-patent, then that's that.

:-) I wouldn't describe myself as pro-patent. I would say I'm pro-fair play. If Alice spends years in front of a fume hood developing a new ITO coating or polymer that reduces cost and improves manufacturability of a product, then she deserves to be protected from corporate VP Big Bob getting his engineer to just reverse engineer Alice's work. If you agree that Alice's work deserves some protection for some period of time, then we both share the same concept of right/wrong. Whether patents are the best way, and how they can be made more effective and less vulnerable to turkeys and vultures, is a discussion we could have in good faith. But at the very least we would need to base the discussion on facts rather than what I see in some other posts (not alleging you have done this) where they're writing Kiplingesque just-so stories to explain display product pricing while not knowing the difference between ITO and AgNP.
I have fond memories of camping near Diablo as a kid. It’s a beautiful area, and being in the shadow of the nuclear power plant kept me on edge.

Regardless of any narrative, I’m curious about the actual negative impact Diablo ever really had. I remember San Luis Obispo county activists promising it was going to be the end of the world. It doesn’t seem like their fears came to pass.
It's written in Python... It never gets compiled or linked.
It's worth noting that he is a highly opinionated writer on the subject. Seemingly, his raison d'etre is to further antitrust -- though, in his case, it seems to be a vague, expansive and shifting notion.

He effectively just seems to be against any "big" business.
For this particular venture there won't be a pivot. It is cut and dry. One thing and one thing only.

If the money is not needed, it becomes reserves for the corporation. Part of it might go into research.

Given the sector of this venture research of a very particular kind is required, so cushion money can be well allocated over time as needed for these research efforts.

What I want is security in a very specific form. Namely, that should things go well capital shall be plentiful and available. I do not want to worry about this.
