The odds are much better that you can repeat after your first success. Most startups fail before gaining significant funding, if you have enough capital to skip the seed stage and a good relationship with investors and have experience with running a startup then you have much higher odds. To use some famous examples, Apple/Next/Pixar, Paypal/Tesla /Spacex/Solar City they both had a weaker startup such as Next and Solar City but leveraged past success to avoid failure.

But who do we trust enough to regulate the news? Is there any entity that even the two political extremes in the USA could agree to do that regulation? Much less the ability to scale it up to an international level.

Also, how do we continue to trust whomever holds that power, given that such power will be abused eventually if not immediately? There is a common phrase about how power has a corrupting impact.
Pretty close. Back in high school, I was the 'Pascal guy' and one of my friends was the 'C guy.' One day, the friend, after looking through the large list of compiler and linker optimizations available in Borland C++ (and confirming they weren't in my Turbo Pascal) said we should have a Hello World file size competition--see who could get the smallest filesize with our respective languages (compilers really). He spent half a class period digging through the options, reading what would be best, then typed his Hello World program, and announced he was ready. Literally while his code was compiling (these were 386 machines IIRC which took some seconds back in the day), I typed the one-liner and built my code with Turbo Pascal...before his compilation was done.

I had no idea if my executable would be bigger or smaller than his, but I didn't want to put effort into the contest until I knew I was behind. As it turns out, it was about half the size of the C executable and he never asked for a round two. My friend was very frustrated that day.

Fun day.

EDIT: I did some research. They were actually at best 286 machines. The computer lab had those IBM PS/2 all-in-ones with MCGA graphics.

Even Marx viewed capitalism as a step forward from its immediate predecessor, which was itself forward from what had come before. Your post would be perhaps relevant in the context of a challenge to capitalism that favored reverting to some previous system rather than continuing to build on the progress made by capitalism relative to previous systems, but such criticisms are, at best, extremely rare even among criticisms of capitalism.

It's quite possible to get more, if you need to (though probably not multiple ones at the same time). Just use the shops the the RPi foundations recommends and choose to be informed via email when this shop again has some in stock. Then as soon as possible buy one.

> Merely saying that consciousness is a product of the brain is like proving dark matter by saying it's a product of the universe.

This statement is nonsense. The presence or absence of consciousness could be empirically verified and experimentally tested. The presence or absence of dark matter could not be empirically verified because the concept which is referenced by this pair of words belongs to the category of abstract ideas.

Notice, that consciousness is not an abstract idea, it belong to the category of biological processes. You have here a logical error of assuming existence of an abstract concept, which neither could be empirically verified
nor experimentally tested.

There is a subtle difference between a product of the physical brain and a product of group-thinking or sectarian beliefs. While the concepts which form the basis of this or that system of beliefs are certainly exist inside the consciousness of the individual believers and certainly are presented in their shared vocabulary, the phenomena which these concepts presumably accurately and completely capture does not exist anywhere in the universe.

To me, what's impressive about Notch is the speed at which he can put a decent prototype together. What's also impressive is the experience he's collected.

If I work at it, sure, in X years, maybe I can be in the same ballpark as him. But today, if you wanted a game prototype or full game built, Notch would be worth more than 10x me. Just think of the experience he's collected.

If we're talking in the abstract, sure, maybe he isn't 1000x the programmer I am. I'm not really sure there's a huge value in looking at it that way though.

I don't know that it's Mongo-specific, it's more that newer storage engines, in an effort to be user-friendly, shoot to essentially be zero-configuration out-of-the-box. You install it, run the daemon and can immediately connect so you get that positive feedback the engine is easy to work with. This typically means there's no username/ password required and it's listening on its port to all responses (inside and outside whatever firewall you have). So you start it, connect to see that it works and think, "I should really secure this like it says in passing in the docs, but let me try a couple more things first". All of a sudden it's three weeks later, your MVP is ready to launch and the username/ password has been forgotten.

Other stores may let you get away with setting up "root/ root" or "admin/ password" but at least they have forced you to think about setting up some security. It's a trade-off, but it's a crappy one IMHO. There's no risk to Mongo, et al: they told you to set up security but didn't force you because they want you to pick their product.

There are a number of projects and storage solutions that you can use depending on what is important. Using persistent volumes and external storage like EBS is one way. Using distributed file-systems with local or network attached storage like Portworx or Ceph is another. I’m not sure using NFS for the post in this example demonstrates what you would be doing in the real world however.

> The presence or absence of consciousness could be empirically verified and experimentally tested.

No, it can't; there are various behavioral traits that are conjectured to be indicative of consciousness that can be tested, but consciousness itself can either be tested nor observed in anyone except the observer.

> Notice, that consciousness is not an abstract idea, it belong to the category of biological processes.

No, consciousness is not a biological process, it's a phenomenon which is assumed to occur as a product of biological processes, though it's often conjectured that it could also occur as a product of other processes as well.

Your second example has nothing to do with state-sanctioned same-sex marriage. The exact same court case could have happened if they had been getting "married" without making it official with the state.

That case might be an argument against laws which prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexuality, but it's not an argument against same-sex marriage.

Will tackle a bit down the road.
I must admit I just skimmed over the initial parts of the post.

NFS is possible, but it's very easy to get the settings wrong, and it will depend on your specific NFS server whether or not you risk losing data in corner cases... I'd not consider NFS for a database for that reason without knowing precisely which NFS server and which version and testing that specific combination extensively (or verifying others have experience with exactly that combination).

It will be as slow as a block store, but most of the block stores offer up much simpler semantics that are much easier to verify if makes sense for a database workload (they need to store the blocks they claim to have stored, and that's pretty much what we care about; for the rest it's down to trusting a well tested local filesystem).

As an added note, the "any shared file system would also work" is patently false and horrible, dangerous advice, for a database deployment as it depends entirely on the file systems crash semantics in terms of what data is guaranteed to hit disk in a durable way, and whether or not there's any chance of writes being reordered etc.

> They had ordered their complete BOM before a prototype was finalized... They spent all their money buying components before their design was finalized. These aren’t poor engineering decisions, they’re poor business decisions.

Not having even a single prototype (even if you ignore the fact that ideally there should be multiple) done before ordering the parts for manufacturing is fundamental failure of engineering process, it is not a business decision failure.

Here is one you might enjoy:

We had a guy coming into every meeting demanding we produced some low-level internal document for him. We tried to explain to him that (A) our project was not related to his project and (B) we were not comfortable giving anyone an internal implementation document of something that was highly agile.

So this went on for a year and by then the managers were really pissed off that we didn't have the "proper documentation" in place. We spent the next year creating a stable internal API and writing the documents he wanted.

What I learned from all this was that the only way to fix a -10x guy is to fire him. Because despite all this we spent the third year defending internal design decisions from a guy who wasn't even part of the team. In the end he was fired for failing to deliver in his own project - by which time our productivity doubled.
Well. In the most cynical sense, yes, but in a properly functioning company, those shouldn't be competing functions.

> Not to mention that, once self-published, a book is highly unlikely to be re-published by a traditional publisher, especially for a first-time author.

That's a good thing. I think more writers should be in a "fire an forget" mode, i.e write a book, self-publish it, have readers or not, and move on to the next story. Rinse and repeat until you are able to write good stories. I think it's much better for self-esteem to be able to think "I already wrote 5 novels. Most are shit but, hey, it's getting better and better every time" than "argh, I have to write that first novel from scratch, for the fifth time. I'm fed up with it. I've been working on it for 10 years. I feel like I won't ever finish it. Maybe this writing thing is not for me".
"And despite what the autodiff people say, that might be hard and/or not very useful in practice, if your likelihood is based on running a lengthy astrophysical simulation."

Only if you treat the simulation as an un-interrogatable black box. All of those astro simulations are ODE or PDE systems of one kind or another which can be very cleanly autodiffed to calculate exact gradients. N-bodies are particularly well-suited to this approach.

"You can run HMC on any differentiable surrogate surface surface. It's only the accept/reject step that has to use your real model and data. You might consider that if you have a less hairy approximation to your model."

You _can_ but it won't work above O(10) dimensions. The problem is that the more dimension you have the more any surrogate surface (and its gradients) will drift away from the true surface and worse your acceptance probabilities will be.

With exact gradients the optimal performance of HMC will drop negligibly with dimension (you need to get up O(2^100) or so before you really start to see problems), assuming the target distribution itself doesn't get more complex its dimension increases.
