How many weekly emails are you sending, and how much money are you spending to send them?

In your shoes, I might attempt to break the newsletters up further into more easily monetizable niches. You can track which links are clicked by different subscribers, segment them, and then start sending slightly different emails. Or just straight up create new mailing lists and ask your readers to subscribe to those occasionally.

Just spitballing here.

P.S. You might consider asking on the Indie Hackers forum, too: https://www.indiehackers.com/forum. Lots of people there have monetized various apps and mailing lists.
Something other than the awful threading would be nice. It's nearly impossible to keep up with anything but recent conversations.
Well the leverage would be in option contracts on Bitcoin. These are already available on some exchanges.

I feel like perhaps one of the "problems" is that there are too many different things people might be interested in. So if 5% are interested in cars, the other 95% would find the ad or promo fairly uninteresting and irrelevant.
With Mr. Kalanick, Mr. Gurley is said to have a tight relationship. He is Uber’s most engaged board member and the closest thing Mr. Kalanick has to a consigliere

From what I understand, "legal advice" has a legal meaning, basically requiring it to come from your lawyer, and implying an attorney-client relationship. People want to be clear that they aren't a lawyer, and that they aren't attempting to practice law by offering someone else Legal Advice. Instead, it's more like Uncle Fred saying "You should sue the guy!"
Given that creating and improving AI is a programming job, once you've replaced programming jobs you've replaced everything else too.
These two things are not exclusive:

1. Something works past all expectations.

2. There is craze, overhype, bubble and bust.

The markets have the ability to overvalue things that are great successes. In fact overinvestment and bubbles are often the result of real success.

If something generates 100X return, its completely feasible that markets value it in level that would require 200X return to be profitable investment.
sounds very luddite.

So Benchmark is suing Uber and Kalanick because they are worried about getting their money out- 13% of Uber is almost $9B.

Now Uber claims to have other investors ready, willing to buy back over $6B of that stock. If that were the case, then wouldn't Benchmark have already divested?

Who is willing to invest $6B into Uber when it has no CEO and such an astronomical valuation?
You don't blacklist based on content, but on the hashes of the content, which the nodes have to know. At one point or another, the decryption key has to be shared for the encrypted content to be usable for anyone, and if the copyright holders get a hold of that key, they can prove a violation and blacklist the hash of the content.
That seems a bit extreme compared to where many teams are at, but I can see how it could work.

How would you compare that to reducing the size of classes to bound where side effects can happen?

He may or may not be a misogynist, but looking at his wikipedia page, he certainly spends significant time in the culture wars gutter discussing topics like:

5.4	Neo-Marxist postmodernists and 'identity politics'
How did you do this ? I just did a brew update && brew upgrade and still have git 2.13.0. I'm not an experienced mac user.
EDIT: I followed directives given [here](https://medium.com/@katopz/how-to-upgrade-git-ff00ea12be18). I had git installed in /usr/local. I had to use the commands brew install git and brew link --overwrite git. I don't know if this was the correct way to do it.

Not the person you are asking, but since I also found some of her arguments to be straw men, I will list some parts I find convincing.

> As an evolutionary biologist, the claim that these observations are “exactly what we would predict from an evolutionary psychology perspective” is especially painful to read. I would not dismiss the field completely, but many of its predictions have turned out to be wildly misguided.

> All in all, we have no reason to think female software engineers should perform worse at software engineering based on female trait distributions. And there’s a huge amount of evidence that promoting diversity improves the performance of teams and companies.

Note that that was a straw man, but I agree with the denotation anyway.

> We know that negative stereotypes damage people’s performance. We know that unconscious bias influences our judgement of others’ competencies. Consequently, whenever there’s significant cultural prejudice against certain groups, as there is with female software engineers, we expect to see inequalities emerge. So it’s implausible to attribute these differences to biology alone.

This touches on the part where I disagree the most with the memo: he acknowledges that bias exists, but appears to base his recommendations mostly on his non-bias explanations. He would have done better to underline that he doesn't want all anti-bias programs to end, but instead open them to more people where that makes sense. (He mentions a program to help women get better at negotiation, which would also help men who are bad at negotiation, but who are excluded because of their gender.)
It's probably not a standard course or Stanford is experimenting with practical student-led courses. Why not? I'd do the same...
No offense to the author. But serious question: why whenever articles like this come does everyone say "oh you're not a fraud at all!!". You know what, maybe she is a fraud. If she's being honest in this post she sounds a bit like one. She's crafted the perfect resume to attract attention about AI and it works. But she doesn't really know all that much.

Possible that she has severe imposter syndrome and she sounds above average. But maybe she really isn't as great as everyone thinks she is and she wants people to know that. And maybe people shouldn't pat her on the back and say "no dude you're great don't say that"

If this document stated 'I can't believe we don't talk about whether or not corpses feel it if you rape them.' You probably couldn't use that argument. Google decided what he said is fucked up and that he wasn't part of their society any longer. That type of dissent excluded him from their society and therefore no discussion is necessary. He is divergent and should be removed, just like someone who can't write code.
I think every project I've worked on has turned into a heap of CSS, constantly piling on itself.

I'll bet that's something you see on relatively small teams, until a business or team grows enough to dedicate people to working on design/css (where the quality/reusability of the CSS can be a forethought instead of an afterthought).
> Khosla is not a paragon of founder-friendliness despite his public attestations

There's no evidence he hasn't been anything but. I choose to trust him. If I had to choose between a VC leaving a company and the founder CEO leaving, I'd rather the VC left which is the mantra that Khosla advocates for. Before you say the VCs money is at stake, remember also the founders' and employees' sweat equity is also at stake - you can always make more money, but when time is gone, you can't recover it.

Portuguese loanwords in Japanese are interesting because, unlike other Western word imports, a lot of them have been around long enough, and thoroughly integrated into the culture and writing system, that a number of them are assumed to be Japanese or Sino-Japanese words by most all native speakers.

Tenpura (commonly seen as 天麩羅 or 天婦羅) is one example, but also karuta (a card game, commonly 歌留多 or 加留多) and konpeitō (a confection, commonly 金平糖). The the case of karuta, at least, it feels enough like a regular Japanese word that it undergoes a morphophonological transformation (rendaku e.g. uta-garuta) typically reserved for the native Japanese lexicon (i.e. not Sino-Japanese or other loanwords).
Even the highest voted post here is commenting on the value of examples and lack of value in higher order discussion.

I must discard the post because everyone I have known professionally with similar opinions was grossly incompetent. Some strong examples would make it foolish for me to disregard this out of hand.

I think it's tricky specifically with DJ culture in that if I make a remix or a mashup and that includes somebody else's content, that content needs to be licensed.

When a DJ is spinning in a club or venue however using someone else's content is covered by the venue in the form of fees paid to ASCAP, BMI or some other such publishing rights society.
I'm not sure what invoking semantics on the word "Diversity" has to with this, especially since you thought I accused James of being racist (which I didn't). Despite his leaked rant, you don't know what his definition of diversity is, nor do you know what Google HR's definition is. All you know is that he was let go, the details of which are not leaked.

You seem to be reading a bit more into this, which is probably why the media is still writing about it. There's something for everyone to confirm their beliefs in the paper, whether it's to defend or attack it, and you're demonstrating that with the repeated word games.
That actually made me think -- is there such location?
Don't we, in effect, have scenario 2? There are way more men compared to women who study computer science/engineering. Where I studied, only 4% were women.

That means it's impossible to achieve a 1:1 gender ratio for all companies. A few may succeed, but only by heavily biasing their recruitment against men, since their recruitment pool of women is so small in comparison. Given the 4% number above, there will by 30 great male candidates for every great female candidate.

I don't think the argument ever was that unqualified candidates got a job. Rather, the reality is that if several candidates are qualified, and one of them happens to be a woman, she must be the one who gets the job offer, if a company wants to aim for a smaller gender gap.

Is this fair?

To some people this may seem perfectly OK (everybody was qualified; after that, it's more important to reduce the gender gap). Others might think it isn't (it's unlikely that the best of the qualified candidates got the job). In my opinion, both viewpoints are valid.

What personally irks me, however, is that someone was fired for asking the question. That was decidedly unfair.

nope. I am sure there are but the ones I worked one were (non-os) mvps that kept getting new middleware and features bolted on until they were barely sustainable and got ported to another language.
I don't know if this just sounded like a zinger to you when you wrote it, but "the Internet" is a prime example of anything but a solution in search of a problem.
In this case, the names are completely interchangeable. I had precisely the same experience years ago on a large ERP project on which Deloitte was the lead consultant. After the beachhead team (which was good) rolled off the project, the backfill consisted of an army of fresh-outs straight from Deloitte's consultant boot camp, billed out at a rate a developer with 6-7 years of experience should have cost.
Thanks, great questions!

1) We are currently exploring all options for clustering, though we are likely to try something on our own. No final decisions made yet though.

2) One of the next tutorials we'd like to do is how to setup using Timescale with wal-e for backups (we use this in a hosted service we have). Generally we should work with tools that work with PostgreSQL, we just want to make sure we cover all the caveats.

3) It's a custom solution we've built sort of organically that converts Markdown files (with some custom syntax) into HTML. :)

4) Currently we do not.

5) We have had high level talks about various ways to better compress data including delta compression, but nothing definitive yet. We do find just running on ZFS gives 3-4x compression, so that’s already a nice win if compression a priority.

6) This is definitely on our roadmap but again is also in the early stages.

Thanks!
You ruined the surprise :-)
Well mostly free of consequences. The exec team has basically been replaced and SoundCloud may still die as the result of these actions. As for why people stay with the company, there are a couple reasons. For many people, especially non-engineers it can be difficult to find another job. Many people are probably helping to try and get ex-coworkers jobs. Some may believe in the new direction. Others may be for various personal reasons, semi-stuck in the job. My guess is that you'll see a decent number of people (20-30%) leaving over the next 6 months, but that the majority will stay and help reshape SoundCloud as long as it looks like the company can still succeed.
What a fun coincidence. Just a few weeks ago I've used "peixinhos da horta" as a way to make my sons to eat more vegetables. Now I must make them eat Tempura.
Might want to check out Peter Cooper's work on newsletters - e.g. a podcast he was interviewed on (about how he started and grew his newsletter business) was interesting and may give some ideas. Don't have the link right now but if you use relevant keywords in a search, you should find it.
Is it a standard newsletter format or a drip?
Have you done any mobile work before? I've been thinking of moving towards the same thing after having messed around with iOS/ARKit/Swift for a few weeks now. Getting a little tired of the typical web tech i.e. React, Ember, Node, Rails, etc., if I'm being honest.
The best validation is a deep understanding of the target group and their problems. Let me give you an example.

First, pick the target audience you are either part of, or familiar with. In my case, I chose new and aspiring managers.

Second, learn about their pains. Talk to them, see what they discuss on Reddit, Quora, and wherever else they gather. In my case, I see questions about communicating and dealing with difficult people and dealing with various corporate processes.

Third, figure out what they pay for. Some groups buy books. Some pay for SaaS. Some prefer webinars, screencasts or courses. The options are endless, but the focus should be on what the customers already buy, not what we can easily make. In my case, new managers often buy books.

Four, pick one pain and fix it. Now you don't really need validation in the conventional sense of the word because now you _know_ what the people want and you _know_ what they pay for. I picked the communication challenges new managers face because I have studied this topic extensively before.

Five, implement. In my case, I started writing a book, even though I have never written a book before. But I know there are people I can help, so there is a chance that I actually will. My progress so far (shameless plug, accept my apology and please remove it if you consider it inappropriate) https://www.thenewrole.com/

Except it's not a gold rush. We know exactly how many bitcoins will ever be available. It's a scarce resource. Therefore, it's not unreasonable to buy and hold bitcoin in any amount.

Also, buying stock in GPU companies (putting aside risk of whatever their other business segments are doing, bad management, bad accounting, market risk, etc) implies that you think crypto market caps will expand (if mining is more profitable that imolies price has gone up). If that's true, why not just buy the bitcoin?
I have a thing related to this.

i firmly believe that people are not reading books. At least not the old books on important subjects. I rarely meet 'educated' people who read books.

I believe that the liberals in particular have lost their way intellectually post-World War II. There used to be Great Intellectuals and widespread public debates e.g. Isaiah Berlin. Today there is nothing. Maybe in place of that there is a smug contentment that we've the right answers, that probably is real.

In my internet travels I've seen that people will vehemently defend the UN Declaration of Human Rights. Yet they have not read it. It is a single page of text. It is easy to mythologize a text that you haven't read. I feel like modern Liberals are becoming like the folk who didn't know Latin but received audience from the priest.

If you can't read a single page but stick up for Human Rights, then you are an idiot in the most literal sense (the original meaning of the word 'idiot' from the Greeks). These people certainly won't have read J.S Mill's On Liberty, or the counter arguments.

tldr; Read more old books.

It depends, would that equity be offered through an ICO? If so, shut up and take my money.

The upfront cost is no longer prohibitive with all-electric buses realizing savings in the form of reduced maintenance and fuel costs that exceed the initial investment discrepancy [1-2].

On your second point, a bus doesn't necessarily have to have a heavy steel frame for it to be safe. There are plenty of lighter weight (e.g. composite/carbon fiber) solutions which don't sacrifice safety.

Sure, if the mileage requirements are low then there's definitely a cost-effective retrofit solution. But if you're a company already building a full electric bus and investing a lot of R&D into the pack design anyway, then you could probably just sell battery solutions to school bus companies as another revenue stream. I'd wager, though, that the larger addressable market is customers looking for new electric buses for longer routes.

One of the huge problems that crypto-currencies do not think about is inheritance. Most of us wish that when we die, our stuff goes to our children. But if our stuff is locked behind secure cryptography which depends on information locked in our brains, that does not happen.

Unfortunately there is no way to open up ways of passing your crypto-currency to your loved ones without opening up a possible attack during your life. But this is a use case that needs to be addressed.
