It requires very specific skilled labor, but it is a great idea if you can find a way to scale it. There is certainly the demand.

If you have the interest and passion, then come up with a reasonable business plan, find a partner who knows biology/chemistry/medicine very well, and apply to YCombinator? They have the interest.

If NASA had done that for commercial resupply or commercial crew, they would have spent more for less. Because they instead competed pre-buying launches, essentially, 2 new less-expensive launch vehicles were created.

It would be smart for the Air Force to compete pre-buying heavy launches. It would remove a lot of the uncertainty in today's market.
Neither I nor my wife would qualify for any sort of government assistance as single parents. And neither of us has any idea how we'd manage to raise children alone. Money is not the issue.
My interpretation:

'The narrative' over the last 6 months was that the new Macbook Pro is no longer a 'pro' level device and as a result 'pro' users everywhere are switching to other brands which means bad sales results for Apple. But today's numbers show increased sales instead, so 'the narrative' was flawed.

Many of these are particular implementations of FRP, not FRP itself. That's like saying MVC is complex because there are 50,000 implementations. It's a non sequitur.
Yes, Tor isn't secure for anyone unless it's secure for everyone. I mean, just look at what's been leaked from the CIA and NSA. There's no way to guarantee that any backdoor won't get leaked, or be discovered independently.
Informative response from Kees Cook of the Kernel Self-Protection Project (KSPP):

former etsy employee here:

lots of reasons, but around that time etsy invested heavily in infrastructure and tools like statsd resulted from it.

the last few years the focus has been mostly on product, and product teams usually don't produce the kind of significant technology contributions you're talking about (huge generalization there obviously).

this is more of a personal opinion, but my experience was that the last few years etsy has focused less on technical solutions to problems and more on "people solutions" - if something is inefficient they look for non-technical solutions to that problem, sometimes fruitlessly. as you can imagine in that environment, things like statsd don't get made.

It is low enough to not have bothered me personally. And I can attest to that because the level of caffeine in a regular coffee would definitely be noticeable (to me).
I sort of consider x86 ISAs barely CISCy - almost all x86 instructions that access memory involve a single address (so one TLB dip even if you're doing RMW) - this makes it easy to decompose instructions into uOPs.

IMHO 'Real' CISCs potentially have multiple memory addresses "add m1, m2, m3" sort of things and addressing modes that do double indirections (remember a worst case VAX instruction could generate [I think] 27 different TLB misses which meant that the smallest process had to have an at least 27 page minimum working set to let every program progress - for a RISC machine it's just 2)

Really though what happened between RISC/CISC was largely driven by a change in the relative speeds of memory and CPUs - CISCs made sense when memory bandwidth was low and heavy encoding reduced instruction bandwidth, RISCs (or RISCish including x86s) have come to dominate as caches moved on-chip and bandwidth soared
It's definitely my goal -- I assume my water's perfectly healthy, but removing the chlorine makes a world of difference in terms of taste.

But I live in a city. If you're in the country and drink well water, your priorities might be the complete opposite.
Yeah, I really wanted something easier to work with as it's a bit of a pain to maintain, and I might see if I can pick one of these up for my office machine!
I think what this person is talking about is simplicity in the actual UI pattern, and thinking about them. The problems you mention are JavaScript problems, not UI problems.

Have you ever tried to build a UI with Qt or JUCE?
It may be worth noting that if your water is only chlorinated with chlorine (and not chloramine, which is quite common now as well), leaving it in the fridge overnight can allow some of the chlorine to evaporate, making your water taste better even without a filter.

In this case he allowed both his tap water and filtered water to cool overnight, which would tend to understate the taste difference between freshly pulled tap water and freshly filtered water (if that filter effectively removes chlorine).
I can only add my experience with etsy on the affiliate side. TheHunt.com previously sent them significant traffic (as in, hundreds of thousands of visitors) via their affiliate program. We then got a email that they were going to change our rates to be something like 5x less than our current rates because we were high volume. Needless to say we removed every etsy product on our site and replaced them with amazon/farfetch/etc.. products within a week. We actually ended up tripling our revenue off of the etsy traffic so I am glad it happened.

It did show a lack of appreciation for traffic on their end they were so willing to let us go without a fight. No room to budge on rates or even suggest a alternative- Not sure if that was management or department based decision but it was certainly enlightening.
Gotta be Axe Capital, surely.
Congratulations on the new launch!
Lots of stories in the past year about how the new MacBook Pros are awful and nobody will buy them. That's "the narrative", exaggerated a little, and it doesn't seem to be the case.
Aggregated* not arrogated.
If you're an advertising platform, you can choose what sort of products are advertised on it. All of them do. You can, quite reasonably, decline to advertise things that are unethical. For instance, predatory loans. You are choosing not to profit off the misery of others. This is not nearly as complicated as you make it out to be.
I don't think it's actually responsible for the problem then. The choice rests entirely with that person.
Shame no 32GB option. The worst thing about Apple not offering it is that it has taken pressure off competitors. Laptops supporting 32GB are quite rare beasts as a result.
What kinds of uses of the term "binding" causes confusion in the context of message data types?

I think binding is precisely what is going on when a compiler generates code for marshaling and unmarshaling messages based on a schema.
> Given how many clients that company had, the main conclusion I draw is that as an industry focusing on helping the .1x people improve is more likely to make a noticeable difference than chasing the other end of the spectrum.

Do you think that's possible? More often than not the .1x people don't seem to care either.
Can you search in other areas? Places like Nashville, Raleigh, Atlanta, Austin, and even Canada tend to have more open, laid-back business cultures than NYC, Chicago, and the Bay. I've found that in the "B" cities, you can often get time even from executives of fairly large companies. (The pay-to-cost-of-living ratios tend to be higher, too!)
I wonder if they can police the reselling of mass produced junk. I'm imagining initial efforts, making a notable dent in the problem, and then kicking off a "Made By Me" social media campaign. If resellers stopped seeing Etsy as a easy way to sell dollar store items at artisan prices, made that'd curb the problem a bit more.
It is economic issue. Unfortunately, the incentives work against it on supply side since they maximize profit even to detriment of users. The oligopolies universally supply garbage that suits them. If it's quality or security, customers often just get used to the problems. That lowers demand side. Differentiating firms can show up but will be niche unless latching onto something big. I thought about Java, C#, or Go CPU's at one poing for application servers. Different front end with safety/security checks on top of high-performance design probably. Can't be sure on economics of it, though.
It certainly wasn't straightforward and took us two weeks to get right :(
But the information contained in the two examples (silicon cube vs cell) are several orders of magnitude apart in complexity. I don't think that's really a great counter to the thesis of the OP.

Though I agree that simulating down to an atomic level is probably not necessary, understanding will come from analysis closer to that level of granularity of analysis than it would from [given so many units of volume of a cell, we can conclude that X and thus achieve understanding].
A scenario where a new 'top dog' enters and proposes the solution to all problems™: let's measure our conversions, optimize this and that and make more sales. By the way, all this time you're developing open source you're not helping the company so let's stop that, it costs us developer time and money.

It's not unfeasible.

It would be a scenario that could explain both portfolio degradation and community leave, and not too uncommon. Of course, it could be unrelated and this is just speculation.
If you think he's lying he could have made up the entire blog post too... :P

The companies to beat are Thumbtack and maybe ProReferral aka red beacon. They seem to have the right monetization schemes. Also, I would think that the big box home improvement stores like Home Depot drive huge referral traffic.

Also one of these companies should team up with HGTV.
> I can tell you from experience that I have never connected to a cloudflare backed site with tor that didn't require multiple captchas. So every tor ip is hostile to cloudflare sites? If so, how is that practically different than just blocking tor?

so you manually looked up the provider of every site you visited?

sounds like 100% of cloudflare sites that are configured to require captchas require captchas.
>If NASA had done that for commercial resupply or commercial crew, they would have spent more for less.

I don't see why you think this is true.
I used the SpringSource server (later known as Eclipse Virgo) as a sort of "platform as a service" for enterprise apps. It could deploy anything from plain war files up to OSGi-aware apps that could access custom services for configuration, db access, authentication/authorization, and so forth. Worked rather well, with decent uptime and no hair pulling on my part.

The down side was that OSGi requires modularization, which exactly no Java developers to my knowledge had any experience with. Plus OSGi modularity is entirely done at runtime and Spring's tooling to try to support it was incredibly flakey. Conversations went like:

"My app works fine on my dev box but blows chunks when I try to deploy it."

Me: "You have to be explicit about whay you are depending on in your app's manifest."

"I see your lips moving, but all i hear is barks, grunts, and squeals."

"Sigh. I'll fix it."

I can't really see jigsaw making the situation any better, especially since it explicitly ignores versioning and containers.

Not that I know of. However, there's Avnet's Spartan-6 LX9 MicroBoard evaluation kit, which has a USB-stick form factor, is inexpensive, and is compatible with the free version of Xilinx's tools.
There seems to be some natural law of Internet shopping that ensures that every "Specialized marketplace for X," will, once it becomes popular, inevitably devolve into a flood of thousands of sellers all reselling identical cheap junk from AliExpress for $0.99 + free shipping--to the point where it's impossible to find anything genuine or non-counterfeit.
A related thought...

Startups and tech companies should pick a few midwestern or NE cities and open offices there.

Imagine if Cleveland Ohio was a tech hub and "cool" by any vague stretch that a western city is, housing there is practically free by west coast standards.

Even cities like Albany or Rochester NY are dirt cheap compared to any city in a western state.

But instead everyone piles into San Francisco, bay area, Seattle, Portland, LA, and overpays by small fortunes.
Why not a reverse osmosis system? Not terribly difficult to maintain and they are much better than a single carbon filter at removing impurities and improving the taste.

My iPhone tends to remain connected to the downstairs WiFi even when I've gone upstairs and there is a much stronger connection available nearby. I'm not speaking milliseconds, this continues to happen for hours. I usually to turn off and on the wifi to ensure it re-connects optimally. Why isn't this a standard behavior?

Yeah I read that and almost sold all my twilio stock till I dug in.
gp is right,

there was 8/23 wrong classifications of "Bottled vs Soma" vs. 10/23 wrong classifications of "Tap vs Soma"

In Figure 6 , the author shows there's no statistically significant difference between "Bottled vs Soma"

So like he wrote :

> Soma filtered water performed the worst, having a taste statistically indistinguishable from tap water

I could write using the same data:

Soma filtered water performed the best, having a taste statistically indistinguishable from bottled water

When Jeff Atwoord originally announced Discourse he claimed his biggest goal was to kill off PHP for good, and he wrote Discourse in Ruby specifically to convince everyone else to move off of the "one true holdout" that PHP still dominated... online forums.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of Jeff Atwoods, and that started long before he started SO. To me it just feels like he's a bit too idealistic in his approach to things.

I honestly don't know. I think in general though, we should try to make information be as available as possible. Most of the justification for regulations about communications content comes from a time when most people had only three television channels, and a few newspapers.

Also, China has used exactly the same justification for censoring their information. And they're not wrong. People do knowingly spread misinformation and harm others.

I think that it's a really tempting problem to want to solve. If we could just find some heuristic to know for certain that something was "fake", we'd have it all figured out.
It gets more complicated when you consider the concept of "social currency" and the utility of one's profile in matters such as... gettin' laid for example.

I view Facebook on one level from your perspective. They sell to an advertiser eyeballs of potential customers. It's user performs the immaterial labour required to create content which drives eyeballs to the site and sort the customers into demographic groups.

But there really is a much more complicated Web of transactions taking place on Facebook. Exchanges which can convert the labour performed on a user's part into a social profit.

> By the way, all this time you're developing open source you're not helping the company so let's stop that, it costs us developer time and money.

that was not my experience at all. officially, open source was encouraged because it raised etsy's stock in the tech community, which was beneficial for hiring.

unofficially, middle managers discouraged it because it detracted from shipping quickly (which made them look good to upper management).

obviously the CTO/etc. could've just been paying the engineers lip service about open source, but they seemed to genuinely support and encourage open source contributions. they certainly celebrated when open source contributions actually happened.

You said "a bursting of the bubble," and then asked why people aren't considering a decline.
