One option would be to turn FDA-approved into a service mark. No product that has not passed FDA approval testing could bear the FDA's service mark.

This is in line with logos like the UL service mark or service marks indicating kosher products. Products that bear a service mark usually have to pay the mark owner a licensing fee for use of the mark, which may be partially recoverable with higher prices to the customer.

If people trust the FDA, they will look for their mark, and not buy products without it. Service mark counterfeiting would have to be dealt with through civil court cases.

This leaves the market open for a competitor to the FDA to service different consumer needs or for specific product categories.

Well, first of all, with the exception of anarchist libertarians still support policy. This seems to be a case of illegal dumping. If the person that is harmed needs to go to the policy and they need to investigate. Once you find out who it was, they need to pay.

Also in cases such a pipelines and rivers, everybody can sue the person higher up and you will eventually arrive at the source.

For rivers this system has actually worked quite well. River property rights system were quite common in Britain and in the US. There is also direct comparison of rivers without such system and rivers with such system, and the property rights based once were much cleaner.

This of course changes when we are talking about dumping in the ocean. That another problem.

Everyone says to create a product that is loved (agreed), but how do you get constructive feedback in the early days?

I've experienced that many users are unwilling to engage in conversation, they test it and if they don't like it they leave and won't communicate why.

Suppose one creates a new Whatsapp-like product, how would one, in practice, go about gathering feedback?
I've used this before in a pinch too, speaker as a microphone in reverse. that got me wondering... would it be possible to use the same principle with another type of listening device. Focusing a laser beam on a window allows you to hear a conversation in the room. so could the same principle be applied and allow a laser beam to transmit audio?

This is also about enterprise in particular, distinct from ordinary B2B. If you don't work enterprise, the distinction can be lost. The sales process can be long and slow, with lots of customization and seemingly arbitrary requirements.

On the other hand, if you can build an enterprise-worthy product and a sales team that can handle it, it's an incredible cash cow. Six and seven figure contracts.

You can still find this in small communities. I get my gas from a small community because it's cheaper on that side of the border. There's like 5-6 gas stations and one supply truck company.

Suggestion: Learn to do welding of vacuum chambers. Think A&N corp, Kurt J.

The market is small enough that it may cost more to develop a good robot than it is worth. It also pays higher than standard welding.

But might there be sufficient coupling between the amplifier's output and its input, such that driving the output pins via speaking into the speaker can produce a voltage on what is usually the input line to the amplifier?

I suspect it may be possible, depending on what the firmware allows - amplifier circuitry often utilizes feedback in some form or another, which is essentially coupling the output to the input. And even if the amplifier is powered off, there's bound to be capacitive coupling between the input/output lines, but that's probably too small to be useful.

Now I see why BBC BASIC is liked.

It was created by Sophie Wilson FRS FREng, while at Cambridge as a student over a summer break on a 6502 micro processor. Wilson also designed the Acorn System 1. [0],[1] Also a portable C version of BBC BASIC is available. [2]

By "lead" do you mean elemental lead, or the graphite/clay mixture? How do you identify it in the wild? Where did you get the lead, and how did it become thin? Can you be more specific on fibrous material? Do cotton plants grow wild near you?

Video can be great for describing certain concepts. Like illustrating the relationship between pi and a co/sine wave. Or anything related to animation, physics, etc. in code.

Video can also be useful for learning how to setup a development environment, to show how to use developer tools in FF/Webkit, setup an Xcode project, etc. Instances where a student needs to navigate a complex UI to begin the work of actually coding.

For coding there's many problems with video. One issue is bandwidth: text can be scanned and consumed very quickly. Text can be given a hierarchical structure that a student can jump between, which makes it easier to understand complex relationships between concepts. Video is linear. Code is not. Code has a relational and web-like structure that is more accurately represented by hypertext.

Assange needs to sign a message with his private key. That would be satisfactory. Ideally, the message can be a video that contains information that clearly dates the recording. That would be quite satisfactory.

> Agile is old enough that many people don't know what pre-Agile development was like. Often teams would pretend everything is fine until months after projects should have shipped. Pretending things are great while looking for a job or jumping projects was really common.

That's not true, Agile didn't save the software industry, it's just a different methodology with different ideas.

The "software crisis " still exists today the same as it did then, the only thing that's changed is young people who don't have the necessary perspective to understand that.
Yeah, there are things out there that are called "Philadelphia Cheesesteaks" that amuse and alarm people from Philadelphia, but no one has (sincerely) suggested outlawing them.
This is good advice but on a practical level isn't clearly compatible with other advice like "fix the plane while it's flying".

Also I was under the impression YCombinator focuses on helping companies grow and organizes a demo day 3 months later to help them raise money from VCs. The pg article even mentions growth targets during YC. If this is true then companies accepted to YC should already have a product people love and be ready to hack growth over the next 3 months. This clearly is not the case (eg Airbnb joined YC after about a year not 1000 days).

If YC is not only about growth but also about helping companies at much earlier stage still working on the product people love stage, that would seem to be a challenge. What do YC speakers talk about? Growth or Product? It's like putting kids learning Algebra in the same class as those ready for Calculus, not easy at all. Maybe there should be two types of YC sessions then? One for early startups still working on product, another YC for startups working on growth...

Every founder I have ever met wants their product to be loved, but unfortunately they need time and money to figure this out. Other issues: it's hard to know when to walk away pre-product and pitching VCs without growth doesn't seem to work. So founders raise money by showing early "growth" without PML (product/market love), then they go back to work on the product and when PML doesn't materialize in the first couple months they start to get nervous and switch resources back to growth hacking their mediocre product so they can be ready to raise money again and have another chance.

Obviously this is all very complicated, full of exceptions to rules. In reality product and growth have to be going on at once - but the timelines and resources and challenges to do product and growth at the same time should be part of the advice.

Can you say: “U+1f4a9 U+1f32a”?

Those of you complaining about RMS's curmudgeonly demeanor, perhaps you would rather be using Apple iEmacs™ and “Microsoft Visual Emacs 2013”, with about the same freedom as you have with macOS / iOS, Android, TiVo, etc., which would play about as well together as ntfs on mac and hfs+ on linux? (or maybe that alternate universe would be Google Mosaic on FranklinOS?). While you're at it, you should thank the couterpointedly curmudgeonly jwz that Emacs is not tty only, and you have at least one viable non-corporate(-ish) browser choice.

Or you could just run emacs in your iTerm. Or you could get all the big software pimps (Apple, Microsoft, Google, Adobe, and maybe the W3C) to agree on a good (please not bitmaped) format, then patch Freetype, again. But I really hope it's already being worked on? I'm sure Emacs will work with it then.

The shining light angle is close to clickbait, since it's presented as a lower-order hack at best. But the article itself is comprehensive and interesting.

The accessibility of machine learning does not affect its impact on society. It already has had a big impact on society whether people realize it or not. It is used for countless tasks that people take for granted (spam filter, facial recognition, translation, etc.).

We live in a society where people are completely dependent on technologies that they know nothing about. The average person who uses a computer or a smartphone wouldn't even be able to tell you how to represent the number 2 in binary yet these devices have a huge impact on their lives. Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I'm not sure since it is no longer possible to understand every aspect of technology at our current (and accelerating) level of progress.
Well, you’re in a negotiation.

Either you buy your wife out of her share of the business based on current valuations or you can transfer half of your share holding in the business to her, if the latter is even possible. Or something in between. No easy answers unfortunately.

If you're standing in front of them with a notebook in hand, it's hard for them to avoid saying something. So that's step one.

Step two would be to interpret nothingness as (negative) feedback that your product wasn't interesting enough for them to bother commenting on. Which probably means you're not solving a deep enough problem.

This problem is really hard for whatsapp-like products, since people already have their problems solved pretty well in that domain and so they are less likely to find a new product particularly interesting. If I were advising a startup who were making a whatsapp-like product then I would tell them to find a narrower niche where they could solve a deeper problem.

What you're describing isn't "the flu".

12-24 hours seems more like a "stomach flu" (Gastroenteritis) or a cold (rhinovirus), neither of which is influenza (aka "the flu").

According to the CDC: "Most people who get influenza will recover in several days to less than two weeks, but some people will develop complications as a result of the flu."

As others have covered and explained better than I can, the immune system isn't a muscle that needs an annual workout, especially given the risks of serious complications like pneumonia.
An interesting question. I think that the bar is so low for feedback that any type of feedback is pretty welcome. For my most recent job search most of the time the company never bothered to tell me that I was declined, they just left it open. Something like: "Thanks for coming in today. The team had really positive feedback and we'd like to invite you back for another round. [so and so] will email you in the next couple days..." followed by weeks / months of radio silence despite followup.

The best feedback I got (through a side channel) was that the team was in a deadlock between me and another candidate, so it came down to a coin toss and I lost. I felt reassured, because at least the ordeal was over.

Another time I was declined because they only higher product managers with CS degrees and I do not have one. In that case I felt annoyed because this info was readily apparent on my resume, and I do have tech skills but they never brought up the issue in the interview.

The "unwilling to engage in conversation, if they don't like it they leave and won't communicate why" is your feedback.

Dirty secret that startup methodologies usually doesn't tell you: it's mostly trial and error. You observe people, you form a hypothesis about what they want, you put something in front of them, and you see if they want it. If they don't, change something. It's not unusual to require dozens to hundreds of iterations before you converge on something folks like.

This is also why founders that are building for themselves have such an advantage: then you do get some signal about exactly what you might need to change, and why you would want it. You've got to know (and accept) yourself pretty well to be able to listen to it, though.

The idea in such cases should never be that every single consumer sues the product seller.

Once we actually have suspicion the court or some private person can find another way to prove it. Since proving such a thing might be very value, there is lots of Incentives to do it. Whistle blowing might be interesting in this context.

One could also just look at their production, ask former employees and so on.

It seems odd that you owe the actual cash money. Are you %100 sure about that? 50/50 is not related to the value of the shares but the shares themselves.

In this case (you don't owe any cash), even splitting your shares in half might end up in a big pile of cash if your company is really successful.

That sucks though...
You could do some tricks with GCC like not specifying arguments in your MOV instructions and let GCC use the optimal registers it calculates during compiling. Practical consequence was that instead of doing some default MOV AX, [something] then MOV BX, [something], then e.g. MUL BX, you could have avoided the first two operations as GCC would chain them together properly without the need to fill in values; so by inlining such code you'd get very very close to hand-written assembly language without additional overhead, speeding up your 3D engine significantly.

Making current users even more happy is one way to go, they are more likely to provide feedback but it skews the perspective since we don't get any feedback on what the unhappy users were unhappy with.

Now, suppose it is a Whatsapp-style product, there must be a way to gather feedback even for them?
