If a vehicle is approved in the UK I'm assuming it would have to be geo-fenced to stop me going into the rest of Europe. Either because it wasn't approved or because it didn't know how to cope with country specific road conditions, e.g. Priorité a droite in France.
The approach that I am taking is (at the moment) highly integrated -- and that is the thing that I am most concerned about -- I'd rather like to find a way to turn it into a set of disparate tools that use common (open) interfaces to work together -- But I haven't found a way to navigate towards that just yet.
I think that first, you should always consider an escape route, no matter what you are doing.

First of all, I do not believe a lot in the "startup game", so my advice is to read some books before doing something: Rework is a good start.

It forge you an opinion on how to run a tech company, productivity stuff, scaling, ...

Next, I suppose that you are a high school student, so you're going to have your bachelor this year.

I have to say: Do not favor your company / projects more than your studies. These are your escape route, and an escape route should be fail-proof as much as you can.

Get as much degree as you can, while you can try to make your side-projects and ideas better, to adjust them, to test them.

The whole idea is to invest the minimal time in your idea while building your escape route.

Now, why what I say makes sense?
I guess that you have certainly a tremendous potential, you must be a self-taught developer who started since 10 ~ 12 years old to play with a computer.

So, in fact, I went through that too, and I wanted to launch my startup ASAP, to throw everything. But some people around me helped me a lot to understand that if it fails, you're completely fucked. And my guess is that for a 17y founder it is a lot worse than a 27y founder. Keep doing what you love, it is hard to wait, I definitely feel the urge to go ahead and do something that you hope will matter.
But, just wait, and keep refining, it will definitely give birth to a better product, better ideas and others things.

I just wanted to share my view, as I hope to understand what you see.

I don't think this necessarily follow. I've watched YouTube videos that were as entertaining as TV shows where in the latter's case onscreen & production workers are getting paid. It's not that the content isn't valuable it's that supply is vast and so the price is depressed to roughly "well I'll put up with a couple of add" (near zero).

My point is none of those games approached the sales of even modestly popular console games. And emulators aren't a fair comparison because they exactly replicate the game as it existed in console. Anytime crossovers like this were made up through the late 90s, they were always a shell of their console counterparts.

It's hard to take the evidence at face value though, given the historically malevolent influence of big pharma on accurate publishing of trial data (SSRIs, vioxx etc), the significant links between the key trialists and the drug developers, and the lack of transparency in the data.

No, you upgraded your PC with larger storage, or more RAM.

Or if you were a mindless consumer, which my original post is stating, you "upgraded" (bought) to a new PC. And this mentality came over from mobile and is already pioneered on desktop as well (that one company who solders RAM and hard drives now).

Speaking of MS, I don't remember if in the last 10 years I had to buy a new GPU or replace whole PC because the Windows update would bring the whole OS to its knees with slower click response and stuttery animations. From Windows 7 onwards the performance is actually more optimized and faster (disregarding UI design choices).

You can count me in on the group that "is not taking the drugs proscribed by the doctor". Type 2 diabetic, and on my way back out of that disease.

And I made that informed choice. Statins do not work well with my family history. That was disregarded by doctor.

I also said I wanted to try a diet of low/no carbs and testing vigorously in a term called "eating to the meter". Instead proscribed Metformin. Also doc quoted wrong safe blood glucose limits, higher than that of where damage forms. Following his advice would guarantee me with diabetic neuropathy.

Now I wanted to see proof that what I asserted was safer.

But they get the money by having a much higher oil price. Saudi needs oil to be $106 a barrel to balance it's budget, up from in the $50s in 2010. You can't pump your way to profit, that's why OPEC operated as a cartel, though recently that seems to have gone out the window.

Saudi pumping the amount it does drives down the price of oil. They have massive amounts of money so can last for a few years running the kind of deficits are now, though not forever. The question is why they are keeping the price artificially low.

Yes, this is a very good point that I try to keep uppermost in my mind. The thing is though that I'm not sure that having a medical degree and several years as a GP actually gives you much more of a grounding in non-drug therapies than someone who can read the original research (or in my case well referenced and balanced synopses of said research by people who's opinion I trust). Which is where my vague sense of disappointment comes in: the only intervention that a doctor within mainstream medicine seems to countenance is a prescription.

I'm actually saying giving a class name to all elements that you use inside the body tag.

Really good reference is the new Calypso [1] Repository which has some really nice examples [2].

To answer specifically to your example. I usually write something like this :

<h1 class="heading">Use <strong class="heading-keyword">classes</strong> instead of tag names</h1>

Semantically the css looks much better

.heading { ... }
.heading-keyword { ... }

Also keep in mind that CSS has built-in specificy, which is a game-changer and can turn your code into a nightmare. For your example I would never write ( using the same markup ) :

h1 strong { color: blue; }
strong { color: red; /* won't work */ }

because to override it i would need to include the hierarchy all the time.

It's nothing more than a market share grab. They're simply bullying competitors out of the market. They have deep pockets and it's an ideal time to strike. So they take a calculated loss for the next 2 even 3 years and they gain more market share.... the costs will rise again and so will their payoff.
Well, you're right, it's a tradeoff. The 'script' is not standalone anymore, but it's a (script + package.json) and needs `npm install` to work properly. I still use bash for simple things, but if it grows too much and logic starts getting non-trivial, IMO it's a valid use case to switch.
You might have been better off reading the text after the code example that came after the code you quoted.

The text read:

- Second example is much better. Finding files is the problem of temporary_files() and not of main()’s. This code is also testable, by unit testing of temporary_files().

- If you try to test the first example, you will mish mash finding temporary files with main algorithm.

Instinct is indeed unfortunate, and I think it is misleading to the point of hilarity too! The notion that sizing a market (as others have mentioned: a Fermi problem) is the same kind of knowledge as that which makes babies close their mouths and wave their arms when immersed in water? Venture investing truly is child's play :D

Let "sizing a marked" mean "estimating the number of products that can be sold to a given population of persons". An very precise estimate of this number is currently very hard to provide, but giving an order of magnitude estimate is clearly a Fermi problem. Note that the difficulty is providing an accurate and tight bound, not an accurate but imprecise one and that the latter might be valuable too.

Solving a Fermi problem requires estimating a series of numbers from everyday experience. One then multiplies these number together in a mechanical fashion, which could be done in a "ready-at-hand" way by use of a tool. Evidently the process invariably requires contemplating one's every-day experience, and since ordinarily that experience is simply lived this meta-action is an act filled with "presence".

By the way, the problem of capitalism is solved, and the solution shows that it will allocate capital optimally; this is one of the main arguments in favour of capitalist systems.

The problem that the social reality in which we live only partially approximates capitalism (see: non-profit organizations) is the big problem economists, and anyone else using classical economic theory in the real world, struggle with.

Likewise people seem to vary widely in their ability to handle high carb diets. I guess a cookie cutter approach doesn't really work across the board.
As long as we are at it, for sarcasm purposes, I'll generalize it further:

If anything can teach us anything, any kind of identity is a ridiculous contrivance.

But. We're humans. Our different identities make us feel the 'special snowflakes' that we really aren't, to allow us our sanity to get day-to-day job done. Regional identities are PARTICULARLY useful, as they help unite groups of people who share a common history, traditional, and cultural memory. Not to mention, them having a common identity creates peace and harmony within a geographical region and lets them work as a team [with people who perhaps don't share ANYTHING with them except the geography].

Any of the identities you have (religion? 'technie'? some sort of sci-fi fan?) can be just as equally attacked, with equal pointless gains. Of all your identities, I would argue your geographical one would STILL be the strongest/be benefitting you the most, regardless of how much an irrelevant contrivance you consider it to be.

Communication/technology has not erased geographical boundaries: it has just made more people desire the same boundaries (ie, shown how some places are more desirable). Discounting 'the specific patch of ground you were born in' is an incredibly privileged and individualistic way of seeing things.

Your words reek of the techno-liberto-utopianism that completely disregards history and social context, and discounts the fact that we are, after all, humans, not ideal machines who ought to not get carried away by those dang namby-pamby emotions.

* remove minimum wage

* make indentured servitude legal

> Someone will write the necessary scripts (e.g. fossil-rebase) to go into the DB and rewrite history.

No, they won't. The fossil file format is very strongly protected against any changing of history. Changing history changes multiple hashes (at multiple levels) and breaks it. Immutable history is literally part of the metadata specification, and the db is "just a data store," independent of that specification.

> I still find the article's premise and insistent emphasis that the economics of these distribution channels are somehow sad to be completely wrongheaded.

I don't. A huge chunk of social traffic and the ad spend it feeds to YouTube/FB/etc only exists because (mostly) younger and (often) more creatively inclined users have been sold on the idea of making money from a "personal brand."

AdBusters was satirising this fifteen years ago, and now it's turned into reality.

The reality is that you always make more money from being the farmer than from being the livestock. Perhaps the farms have an interest in not making that too obvious.

It's not the hopefuls who are wrongheaded - it's the tropes of the bullshit "social" economy they're growing up in.

One example I found of an Applicative which is not a Monad is Const[K: Monoid] - <*> is just monadic plus, but you can't flatMap because there's no way to "get a value out" of it.

This is a good reason to implement traverse in terms of Applicative rather than Monad - foldMap then becomes just a special case of traverse.
