There appears, to me, to be an ongoing narrative that pits the older against the younger. Memorably it came to a head in the UK with "analysis" of the Brexit vote and correlation with age [0].

Needs and desires change as we age, of course they do. But there's little value in placing a binary filter over this picture. The devil is in the details. Removing the nuance leads to polarised perspectives, and these turn into battle-lines.

From the comments here, it's clear that some people feel more creative in their youth, some with age. There's no right or wrong. It varies by individual, circumstance, and a ton of other correlations.

Articles such as this may purport or intend to uncover interesting data and conduct useful analysis. Unfortunately (probably due editorial direction and pressure to shift units) they ultimately simply encourage ongoing polemic. Perpetuating simplified, harmful world-views does little to improve things.

This article in particular simply cherry-picks a bunch of "studies" to support a tenuous conjecture that is not closely examined. Any valid point is weakened by a lack of analysis, lack of robust questioning, and lack of constructive "what do we do with this information?" angle. Why was this piece commissioned and written? What is its value? Is there a problem here, and if so is a solution indicated?

I don't doubt that "startup culture" overly values and exploits the young. But this piece does nothing except fan the flames.

TLDR; click-bait.

So Stripe Atlas for freelancers except it costs money. Look at how Atlas works and ask: why does Stripe do it? The answer is because it gets a new Stripe customer out of the deal and SV Bank gets another customer and the follow up legal services generate some money as well; so everyone gets paid at some point but there’s more of a value chain.

Why not give away some parts, charge for other parts on the backend rather than upfront.

Look at the Atlas model and see where you can copy that in the freelancer context. Perhaps make some deals with companies to provide qualified freelancers to members of your service; then you have a lead generation value prop to add to your product.

Freelancers need clients more than they need an NDA. So work all sides of the freelancer’s pain.

And stop with the “shares” thing. Honestly, nobody wants a piece of your business (yet,) so that’s just meaningless.

Why not $29 per year? What’s your actual marginal cost per user? Find that number, mark it up some amount and then go after scale. Alternatively, market to new freelancers — existing ones already know what they’re doing.

This is a big market but a really tough one. Freelancers are generally opposed to spending money unless absolutely necessary to their business because the one that can afford your service, don’t need it and the ones that do, can afford it — meaning the value doesn’t exceed the cost.

What you are describing sounds like a typical sysadmin role, not SRE.

There are several principles in SRE which are specifically designed to avoid the issues you mentioned and to keep software engineering teams invested in reliability:

1. SLO is defined by the business, which describes reliability requirements for the system;

2. If the system is less reliable than SLO and runs out of error budget, feature development freezes, directing engineering resources to reliability improvements (this prevents the "last to be found" issue).

3. There is 50% cap on ops work that SRE do; everything over 50% goes to the feature development team. This prevents the "working your ass of to keep the system running" issue.

All of this is well described in the "Keys to SRE" talk by the guy who actually invented SRE: https://www.usenix.org/conference/srecon14/technical-session...
Weapons that make killing decisions without humans in the loop have existed for a long time. For example captor naval mines that sit tethered in place and then launch a torpedo when they detect a vessel nearby. Those aren't going away.

Random irccloud/quassel anecdote for you: when I started working on what is now irccloud, I was originally just going to write a (mobile-)web front end for quassel core, since I was using Quassel on KDE at the time (and had been for some time). This predates Quasseldroid I think, at least I don't remember there being a good mobile app for quassel back then.

The protocol between the quassel core and clients looked to be some sort of serialized Qt objects (iirc), so I abandoned that idea and wrote the irc client backend in erlang, with a json protocol.
As a freelancer, this also just doesn’t fit with my personal experience. When a client wants an NDA, they send one. I rarely/never care. I’ll check over the language, but they don’t want to use my NDA in general.

Invoicing, time tracking is done through my accounting system.

Scheduling meeting is pretty easy.

Setting up a personal website is pretty easy, and if you’re a Webdev you probably already have one. In my experience most work comes through personal contacts anyway.

So, it was hard for me to see how this would be useful. Maybe I’m not the audience. Posting a survey might get you more statistics on what’s wrong with the site.
1. No one wants a white holocaust.

2. You may find some communist emblems personally hurtful for ideological and historical reasons, but when people talk about hurtful/offense speech/symbols, they're not talking about personal, subjective offense, but about objective harm. For example, suppose I'm a respected professor, and in one of my packed lectures I tell everyone I know you to be a total idiot. Even though you may not have been in the room or even heard about my statement and so never took personal offense, actual harm has been done to you because your dignity has been diminished in the eyes of those who were in the room, as well as others they may have told what happened to. Now, a swastika or other white-supremacist emblems are similarly degrading[1], but communist ones are not[2], regardless of whatever crimes have been done by communists or how strongly you personally object to communist ideology. For example, few crimes have been nearly as horrendous and catastrophic as the genocides performed under the Spanish flag (or previous, but similar versions thereof), but while some may find the Spanish flag personally objectionable for those reasons or others (say, the Spanish treatment of Catalonia), no one would claim that the flag when presented today dehumanizes anyone or is objectively harmful and so should be banned; on the other hand, presenting the Confederacy flag today (in circumstances that are not for historical discourse) is objectively dehumanizing and harmful.

[1]: As the dehumanization of others is part of their core ideology.

[2]: As the dehumanization of others is not part of the ideology (despite its condemnation of certain practices).

This is called false dichotomy. The reasons are not exclusive. Acknowledging the issue of bought, foreign influence does not negate internal failures in the DNC. You can find multiple cases of analysis of how the fake information spread from the originating accounts to "normal" users who continued to forward it. Even if it didn't tip the scales, it should be fixed before worse damage is done the same way in the future.

Also, not to nit pick, but the grammar in your second to last sentence doesn’t give me confidence in the quality of material on your site.

The problem isn't controversy, but actual harm inflicted by dehumanizing others, as I explained in my other comment.

As to your other statement, you seem to be under the impression that laws or rules should exist as a formal system independent of actual empirical reality; in other words, they should be the laws of the world you think we should have (e.g., one where all ideologies are morally equivalent) rather than the world we actually do have. However, jurisprudence (the theory of laws and legal systems) usually sees most laws as normative regulations within an actual living society, as determined by empirical observation (although some laws may be "universal").

So, while no one wants white genocide, some do actually want black genocide, and, moreover, such genocides or similarly horrific crimes have actually occurred. Not only have they occurred in the distant past, but their effects still exist with us today. This is why, while white and black may be equivalent in a tabula rasa world, they are not equivalent in our actual world, and that is the world laws try to address. Therefore, there is no equivalence (as measured in our actual society), between "I want a white genocide" and "I want a black genocide".

Likewise, whether a specific reader is "in on the joke" or not doesn't matter, as we're not talking about personal, subjective offense. That black genocide and white genocide (when mentioned in statements) are completely inequivalent in our actual society is an objective, empirical fact. One of them dehumanizes and therefore causes actual harm, while the other does not, and so the laws address the one and not the other. As usual, this is not universal. If, for example, the legal system determines that statements made by a black preacher encourage and promote actual harm, as measured factually, they may well (depending on the legal system) sanction that preacher.
The first version of it I ever saw was in a Baby Huey comic book in about 1967, a single page comic, and it struck my infant self as wise and unusually funny. I wonder how old the joke is.
I think you're confused.

A RSA private key uses large primes, two to be exact. Those two primes form your private key. Multiplying them together gives your public key. The idea is that undoing that operation: finding which two primes multiplied together form the public key, is an intractable problem.

Those two primes multiplied together is what's called a semiprime. The one part that you're correct on is that these two primes should be sufficiently distant, otherwise just trying a couple numbers near sqrt(pq) will give you either p or q.
Oh, right. I was thinking it was only pulling in types.
Exactly as my sentiment below. I would try targeting this to non-tech freelancers e.g. healthcare professionals, writers, environmental/civil engineers.
In addition to the suggestions about sitting in cafes, I'd suggest you look at places like museums and art galleries. In the UK at least, many have members' rooms. An annual membership plus guest might be in the region of £100-200. Beyond the benefits people have listed with cafes, your money will be going to a good place. Shop around. Some places are great, and with the +1 membership you can even invite a business partner. Or ask your friends to see if someone would benefit from coming along with you.

Far cheaper than typical startup desk-rental.
>The problem is that they buy all the competition.

But they don't buy all the competition. At least 3 forces prevent that:

1) they have to recognize that the target company _is_ competition. For example, Larry and Sergei tried to sell their young Google company to Excite for $1 million. Excite wasn't interested. They also tried to sell to Yahoo. Yahoo wasn't interested either. (Yahoo became interested much later when Terry Semel was the CEO but by then Google was already worth more than $5 billion.) If you can't see the small company as a threat, you ignore them even if they prostrate themselves before you begging you to buy them. Excite and Yahoo both couldn't see that the little upstart Google was going to make them irrelevant.

2) The competition has to willingly say "yes" to being acquired. Some say "no". A famous example of that is Facebook saying "no" to Yahoo's offer of $1 billion in 2006. Later in 2010, Microsoft and Steve Ballmer also wanted to buy Facebook for $24 billion and again, Mark Z refused. Bill Gates himself refused Ross Perot's early offer of $7 million to buy Microsoft.

3) the competition becomes too expensive to buy. Ebay toyed with the idea of buying Airbnb but the home-lodging company got way too expensive way too fast for Ebay to execute a deal

Acquiring _all_ the competition requires identification of threats (that don't look like threats on the surface) and cooperation from the targeted companies and available funds. You don't get always get that combination and that's why Google and Facebook are not subsidiaries of Yahoo.

As a user, if I see typeform I expect a long questionnaire (e.g. from someone explicitly asking me to give them some time to help them research something) or it to be an e-mail list signup. Neither are things I want when trying to sign up to a service - it looks like you are just fishing to collect user data and don't actually have anything yet. I have no idea if they are prepared to actually handle financial data properly (unlike I'd be with a conventional payment gateway I've heard of). The entire presentation with "pages", asking question after question (I think OP updated the signup already, now it asks 3 questions and doesn't manage to fit the 3 form fields on a Full-HD screen!), progress bar looks like "this is complicated". The keyboard hints it gives me don't actually work.

It's a massive contrast to the relatively polished (if content-less, which again makes one question if there is an actual product) landing page, which makes it look even more like you prioritize looks over quality. These guys supposedly help me sign up customers, is their solution to that going to be "set up a typeform"?!

It might be slick (I'd argue that, but my tastes don't necessarily align with people creating such labels) and award-winning, but primarily it sends the wrong message.
This.

Let's try to visit your site, step by step.

First screen

- A gratuitous 3D animation shows sample pages from your site. Why didn't you spend that effort to make the pages look better?

- There's a profile cover page featuring a portrait of a white hipster with a sad expression, "Nelson Bighetti" from "Silicon Valley". It looks like LinkedIn, but more importantly it is strangely prominent. Moreover, who is he? A mock profile? Someone in the company? A clumsily leaked actual customer? Uncertainty is bad.

- Another skewed but readable sample page in the 3D splash is titled "Projects" and it looks very simple and sparse. Is it the limit of what you can do? Being used to ERP and CRM tools with tables of tables and rabbit holes of lookups and details and popups and cross references, I'm not impressed.

Scrolling: features list

- Personal web site? Better than what I already have? What does it look like? I can't tell by the generic self-praise words in your text-only item.

- Client onboarding: I can definitely write down contact and payment information in other ways that make sense to me. What about the "onboarding" of making them well-behaved customers?

- Client NDA? Either I don't need it or my lawyer and I designed and drafted it a long time ago before I started freelancing. Why should I use a standard form without discussing it with a lawyer? Risky at any price.

- Personal assistant? Expensive and hard to train. I'll do without, as much as possible.
Do you know that person identification based on gait detection is actively developed and getting decent results? Same with voice.

Also in a really grim scenario, could threaten/kill anyone that hides their face, be it with a skimask, burka or whatever. Or even require positive identification, that your face is found in the database.
>But weaponized drones and robots will give much more power to a future skynet ...

Nah, not really. In the face of a proper hard-takeoff superintelligence, Skynet will look positively incompetent by comparison.

There's enough manufacturing equipment connected to the internet today that a superintelligence could physically manifest whatever it wishes. That's not to mention all the human labor it could coerce, trick or pay.

Put simply: as soon as the thing copied itself into the internet, that's game over. Better hope it likes us.
Typo in the last line, 'Lamdba.'
The protocol are serialized Qt objects (I've started documenting it), but compared to Json, this gives a huge performance advantage.

It's planned to be replaced it with protobuf relatively soon, though.
It works fine except when it doesn't, which is most of the time (either secureboot, or the EFI boot manager, or the Windows 8+ "fast startup" thing that can turn itself on during an update and sets the EFI next-boot option, permanently overriding any GRUB selection until you turn it back off from inside Windows..)

Compared to how hassle-free multiple operating systems is to do via legacy boot, UEFI feels incredibly backward. It feels unfinished, is fragile and breaks far too easily for something so critical.

I'm not looking forward to it being taken away. Guess I'll have to ditch my other OSes and do my important work in a VM.
That's totally false. Just yesterday I booted a kernel using the EFI stub and was able to use an initrd.
I think Facebook already did this with Instagram, as evidenced by it being their only property who’s Snapchat clone worked out. I’m sure that can be displaced, and I’m not sure cloning Snapchat counts as coming out with new and cool services, but I think Facebook are already keenly aware of this threat.
Yep - I found lots of the grammar on the site jarring, and little things like 10$/month - the convention is $10/month, and it looks really odd. You should get a couple of hours of a copywriter's time to go over it, there's lots of little quirks.
> LWJGL's MemoryStack emulates a C style stack by preallocating a set amount of off-JVM-heap memory and decrementing/incrementing an index into it.

So do all relevant game engines. Having a separate memorystack from the actual one for game objects is basically standard.
> "Why would they have [spent money on the ads] if they didn’t believe it would have made a difference to the election?"

Because, even though it likely didn't make a difference in determining the election winner, it has successfully created a lot of internal fighting in America. Very effective and such a low cost!
Plus that you might have to run it multiple times in the hopes that it'll eventually converge.
Could forbid weapons to take kill actions themselves, each instance having to be activated by a human operator.

It just means they're headed for extinction in the wild, but that some populations are maintained in captivity. The term 'domestication' would not normally be used in this case, because it relates to the selection of improvement traits in some resource or behavior useful to humans.

Not an expert, but I do not think that you need an evolutionary explanation: birds are often not stupid, and can simply observe that nests with more cigarettes have less parasites.

You are living in a bubble if you think that the balance of power between employers and employees is mostly determined by how easy it is to start a business.
I’m most excited for the “value types as references” such as ref returns an “in”-parameters. I often use arrays of structs for memory locality, and they often grow larger than the size where they can be passed in registers. In a 64bit app with all double precision floats there isn’t much you can do with 16 bytes or less.

Being able to send 3 structs of e.g 32 bytes each (such as Vector4<double>) to a function without hidden copying will be great.
