“People tell me I shouldn’t talk about the fake rockets because it makes me sound crazy”

edit: that quote was not from Elon, I misread the post. Sorry.
If your password is compromised, it will only work until the next reset. That's better than having one that works for years.
That's a simplistic conclusion. If the legal system is the right answer, but the existing legal system does not perform the function, then it might be important to reform the legal system and not change everything else.

In a better legal system it should be easy, for all defrauded people to somehow make money.

Libertarian and other people have actually studied these issues quite in depth and there are many good proposals. A simply version is that if you are victim of fraud but you don't want to take action, you can sell your claim to somebody else. In this case we have many small claims, one actor can buy them up and then make a collective action lawsuit without everybody else having to care.

This would be a far superior system to regulation. I have made arguments to that effect here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13017446

How a culture survives when a startup merges with an incumbent

Nope, we're switching to "AI" these days.
How would this trick translate to the modern world of proprietary protocols? Would MacGyver have a fighting chance?
I don't know why the IEEE is always such a downer about employment, but this article is stretching it the furthest I've ever seen. VW layoffs, especially if they come in the form of factory reductions / closures, could hardly be counted as 'tech industry'. Then, the actual layoffs that they tabulated at bottom of article are all significantly less than predicted. I assume it's tied to their anti-H1B lobbying, but it's getting pathetic.
Aho's compiler was intimidating, but it's one of my favorite experience of the last 5 years. Not approachable, but every neuron you give is rewarded twice.
If you are a startup that is building a product you should consider these future wants when writing code.

Audit logging, different roles, teams, permissions, auth mechanisms etc.

Believe me when I say it is a lot easier to add these things in the future if you consider these future wants when building your abstractions. This may sound like a lot of work and accounting for unknown unknowns, but doing things like

if (userHasPermission()) {}

instead of

if (user->permission == 1) {}

will make your life much simpler down the line.
It sure is a great edition. It's available in multiple languages as well, such as: Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, Italian.

I'd also recommend http://tuttletwins.com/law/ - which is available in all of the above languages and German as well.

Great reads regardless of the size/age of the person. And definitely thought-provoking, considering the questions they yield.
I see Sketch put out there a lot for this and this is probably just my lack of knowledge (full disclaimer - not a UX designer), but I just have never understood how people are using Sketch for this?

My understanding of Sketch is that it is an alternative to Photoshop for hi-fidelity designs.

I don't understand is how are people using Sketch as an efficient wireframing tool in the early prototype phase as an alternative to something like Axure or Balsamiq?
Have an upvote, that cliche was very unpleasant.
I'm no security expert, but I'm pleased to see several things being forbidden that in the back of my mind, I always thought were a little fishy.
AFAIK vanilla GNU emacs uses NeXTStep APIs, which are also implemented by the GNUStep project[1]. So if/when X11 (and the many libraries that sit on top of it) learns how to do color emoji, then GNUStep can implement the Mac OS API, and emacs will support it.

The GNU position wrt. Mac support is that only the APIs that GNUStep also supports can be used. You may disagree with the principles underlying that choice, but it is a long-standing policy of the project. It was a mistake (according to this policy) for them to merge the emoji support, and when the mistake was pointed out they removed it. So it's a bit more nuanced than your comment makes out.

Interesting, did he coin the egoless term ? does the book speak about "state of flow" or similar ?
I second the Rocksmith recommendation. Its basically RockBand with real instruments.

I play bass with Rocksmith. I play 2 player with my partner (she plays guitar). Its a lot of fun and you do get better.

As a plus the cable doubles as a generic 1/4 plug to usb interface you can use with a lot of software.

Rocksmith has video tutorials as well.
There are a variety of agile methodologies. Most product feature development teams find that Scrum works pretty well. But for sysadmin or devops work usually Kanban is a better fit.

How so? Many companies and projects iterate this fast, many even faster.

It must be a vote of confidence to have such shrill and obviously poorly informed voices campaigning against you.

If they had some depth to their arguments they would at least make you think twice but such desperate tactics pretty much tell you that you're traveling in the opposite direction to the entrenched interests, attention seekers and outright weirdos.

This hasn't had a genuinely useful purpose for many years.

On a modern package-managed Linux distribution, both / and /usr are under the control of the package manager, and separating them doesn't make sense since they are modified in lockstep, and used as a coherent whole.

And while in the Linux world we're busy "unifying" these locations, other systems can have the whole system on ZFS, where these locations can be in separate datasets if desired, and the whole lot can be snapshotted at will. Since it's all in a single pool, there's no need to even consider splitting it.
I'm not sure why this fad popped up with people recording themselves and overlaying this over 1/4 of the video. Why do I want to see you with a gigantic mic over your face and your cat in the background?
Hard to give pointers without more details of what the product is.

There's all kinds of strategies, like starting hyper local (Facebook started just on Harvard's campus) or other startups have used waiting lists before launching to get a minimum threshold of users before opening the experience.

Be careful of "there just aren't enough other people using this" as it directly relates to Sama's advice. Again it depends on the type of product you are building, but when there's a product users love or see they will love even more if there were more users, they don't drop it so easily rather they go out and recruit more users.

What could you change to get these users to love the product so much they instead help it grow and recruit other users instead of just dropping it? I don't mean give them $20 (though you can) I mean how could you make the product so great they want to tell others to use it too?
I said if you say "full-stack" and don't qualify it, thus implying that you're a full-stack everything.
That quote didn't come from Musk:

Leech, who continues to file Tesla complaints, also insists that SpaceX’s success in landing rockets back on earth is a hoax, videos of the landings notwithstanding. “People tell me I shouldn’t talk about the fake rockets,” he says, “because it makes me sound crazy.”

I was also looping in the issue of being able to glide across the fret board with ease. This takes time and lots of practice. There's a reason why books like Pumping Nylon exist. It takes a lot of work to stop thinking about "where and how the f&%$ am I going to do that!" to having your mind free enough to improvise. In other words, to think about music rather than mechanics.
That, and the plumber analogy is a little dodgy.

Anyone who knows an engineer will certainly have a story where he sets off to perform some trade around the house with a "No sweat, I'm an engineer!" attitude, then nearly burns the house down.
Those are rough when a customer service rep asks you for one of those over the phone... :)
The existence of a regulatory structure means that if it's on a shelf, 99% of consumers trust it (see also nutritional supplements). The defacto assumption is that if it wasn't safe / correctly labeled, the government has done or will do something about it.

The libertarian ideal would see consumers lose that fake safety net in favor of private organisations finding and providing that information; the specific mechanisms would vary but likely be not very different than what the government does now. The important piece is that people would stop assuming that words on a package are imperically true.

It's a bit like the argument that Trump would have won the popular vote without the electoral college... because it existed, he campaigned differently than if it hadn't. Whether or not he actually could have gotten the popular vote is impossible to know at this point, but it's a hypothesis just the same.
Machine Learning only works if you have data that it can use. Non-technical people are unlikely to be in possession of this data. But I still agree with you.
Actually, I responded to the wrong post. I meant to post my reply to svachalek.
Luckily they aren't incompatible, you can take advantage of both.
Legal scholars have actually found many elegant solutions to this sort of stuff.

The simplest one is that if you find out that you were the victim of small scale fraud. You should be able to sell your claim to a third person. This third person can then gather many small claim and do the lawsuit for profit. Your claim might only be worth 10$ in this case (since this is just wrong labeling and not anything worse) but its still free money.

This system would also give consumer groups for example a better financial situation. Currently, fines usually go to the government if some group detects that some law was abused. In the system im talking about a consumer group could ask for the data of all the people, should the find something they inform everybody of this and ask them to sell their claims. Then they sue the producer and make a profit. Such system could essentially be automated. Selling a claim should not be harder then making online bank payments (in Switzerland we have E-Bills, pops up, 1-click, done). If you trust the consumer group you could just automate it completely (in Switzerland you can actually give access to your bank accounts companies you trust).

This is also not some new idea, there are historical systems that worked exactly like this. Those system were found to perform quite well.
What about non-bibles ?

If you take an aloe plant and remove every quality and chemical that distinguishes it as aloe, it is no longer aloe. Homeopathy has no scientific merit. There is no distinguishable difference between pure, distilled water that has been sourced from clean lake water, or from seawater, or from urine, or from aloe plants. An H2O molecule has no capacity to store even a single bit of memory.

It is theoretically possible to perform organic synthesis with petroleum feedstocks to produce an artificial chemical mixture indistinguishable from natural aloe juice. But that would not be aloe, either. It would be imitation aloe. There is nothing inherently wrong or bad about imitation products, provided they are not presented in commerce as the genuine article. It might, after all, be an inferior and imperfect imitation, which would not be acceptable to consumers at the same prices.

The important issue is that people may believe that the bottled product is substantially similar to cutting a leaf from an aloe plant and squeezing out the juice from it. It is whether they are getting what they thought they paid for. If no chemical can be found in the product that can only economically be sourced from an aloe plant, clearly, the consumer has been cheated.
That sounds perfectly reasonable.

Rules of thumb: If a business has to operate 24/7 worldwide (and maybe even have office in multiple locations), it's gonna need over 100 employees.

There is no sane way around that. You don't want to be in a business with less than that many, trust me ;)
Yeah, it's got to be a webapp, so that means implementing actual TCP/IP and Ethernet. And you'll probably want to implement a compiler for an HLL (even a rudimentary) one, at some point, before you lose your mind. Then you'll have to implement at least some percentage of the HTTP spec, because you're writing a webapp, remember?

However, you don't have to implement an FS or a display module (but you'll probably want to implement a serial monitor).

But yeah, if I had the time, I might consider doing this (after I finish my Z80 SBC and actually learn more electronics (the Z80 SBC is a popular enough project that I don't have to do all the circuits myself. And I can do the bare minimum)). This probably doesn't reflect well on me.
The airline industry seems particularly rough. I assume it's because of the high cost of just entering the business. I was on a United Express (ie - a carrier operating under United's name) flight once and sat next to a pilot. I was listening to him talk about their imminent strike and contract negotiations and it just seemed like a bummer. Basically, the minor carrier is only big enough to contract out to one major carrier, which is also all that's economically feasible since the crew need uniforms of the major airline and the plane can't be repainted with every flight to represent another carrier.

With their dependence on United established, United then failed to pay the minor carrier. This caused the minor carrier to go delinquent on bills, salaries, etc. United then agreed to immediately backpay everything if the minor carrier agreed to salary cuts across the board. If they didn't, then United would hold out paying until a court made them.

This is made all the more insulting because United, et al, ask these same pilots not to wear their uniforms when using their food stamps.

The right hand is also doing complex coordinated movement.

If you think about it, unlike the piano, the guitar, for the most part, requires both hands to play a note.

That the human brain can do this at the speeds seen in experienced guitarists is pretty amazing.
I keep thinking of ways to get my kids involved with computers in a more intellectual way. The oldest likes the gamified programming with blocks but has no real desire to explore further. He has been interacting with iPod touches or iPads since before he could walk. I think it was a mistake in retrospect.

Just the eagerness to get your hands on a computer is hard to describe today. Studying the ads in magazines. Hanging around electronic stores. Riding bikes miles to friends who were more fortunate. Even today looking through an old Byte magazines at obsolete hardware almost has me salivating.

I know that today there has never been more capable hardware, more available, more affordable and with the level of help and documentation that we have on the Internet. But it is still hard to let go of the 80s. It was a time when kids with no Internet or peers to help would spontaneously disassemble ROMS and hand code asm. I had two television channels which played no more than an hour of content a day of any interest and the only console game we had was a Pong made from a kit. Although the primitive nature of old computers helped their learnability the lack of distractions was also helpful.
> We have worked around limitations

Why not try to fix those limitations and push to upstream?
I was literally just about to post this. I refuse to make my password less secure though - and security questions really are just "alternate passwords".

I've never had a problem but I have had a few reps who are trying to not act really surprised. I've had one instance of someone trying to stifle laughter (of the "You can't be serious") kind. Taking security seriously is a rare thing. :(

They usually stop me after the 8th or so character. I'd be concerned but if any potential social engineer has the first 8 characters they likely have the full string anyways so stopping early makes both our jobs easier.
> If you buy into materialism, the idea that the mind arises from the brain through physics alone and nothing else, then your mind is able to be simulated on a big enough computer

Pretty much everyone believes that materialism implies the simulatability of everything physical, but that reality is computable is actually still only a widely held assumption. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church%E2%80%93Turing%E2%80%93...

We don't know nearly enough about reality to know confidently that it's something you can always simulate.
This is a case where knowing the data and it's inherent structure is just as important, if not more important, then knowing how to apply machine learning.

In this case, the formula was (time ~ content length + number of tags). Except, by construction, the content length is positively correlated with the number of tags! And since the parsing tags is the primary purpose of HTML scrapers, it's likely that content length is completely redundant or a poor predictor of time. (which was the conclusion). If you wanted to calculate the maginitude/significance of an explanatory variable, a linear regression is more than sufficient, and R has great tools for that.

The quantile plot revealed there is a skew in time processed, presumably the number of tags has a similar skew.

Indie Hackers is a great site! I have my first little product on there (http://apex.sh/ping/), making just over 3k/m now (50% each month FWIW), sure it's not millions but now I have time/freedom to work on the next thing.

Plus the freedom is worth thousands alone in my opinion, if I have the choice I'll never go back to startups. It seems like startups are the default these days, and so many of them would probably be just fine as regular small-medium businesses. I have to cram the idea in people's heads haha, you can make money in software and not be a slave working 14hr days.

Legal scholars have many solutions for this kind of stuff. Libertarians have actually spend a lot of time and effort studying this stuff, because its so relevant for free market systems.

Consider this easy idea, you can sell your claims. In a case (non harmful wrong labeling) such as this, you sell your claim for 10$ and then you don't have to care anymore.

Some bigger buyer of this stuff can buy the claims and fight the lawsuit. This is simple and effective.

Also, this is not a new idea, its very old idea that has been done in many places. It performs quite well historically.
