The short answer is that I would be a lot more cautious about taking any investment now, and I tend to dismiss ideas that clearly don't lend themselves to bootstrapping.

The biggest surprise to me about having VC investors was how "hands off" they were, and how much good money was thrown at us when I would have either refused to invest more, or insisted on keeping a much, much closer eye on where it went and how things were going.

Our investors were not evil, quite the opposite. I don't know if they were lazy, trusting, optimistic -- I don't understand to this day. I think they'd have lost a lot less if they'd taken the time to investigate how things were really going rather than believing the pretty slideshows.

I've heard/read plenty of horror stories where this wasn't the case, and investors were very intrusive and micro-managed things, but that wasn't my experience.

The rule of thumb in chip design: your chip clock is as slow as your slowest logic pipe. Complex logic circuitry slows down potential clock rates significantly. You can make your logic gates switch faster, thus allowing longer signal paths, but it has a huge energy trade-off, as the article states.

Multi-core design seems now to compensate for slower clock rates, but it also has its trade-offs. It makes software more complex. In case of the CISC arch Intel established it's a huge trade-off, since CISC is supposed to make its processors easier to program, as opposed to RISC. I don't think that CISC is a good choice when it comes to massive parallelism.

But, since chip design is so expensive and is considered state of the art high-tech, we'll need to deal with everything that chip makers throw at us. Or do we?
This issue was discussed in my Occam class ~28 years ago. Occam itself is an example of a concurrent/"parallel-by-default" programming language intended for a Transputer hardware environment (now retargetable to x86 etc.), but it's not the easiest of languages to learn:

Not really - Itanium tried to move the instruction-level parallelism and the burden of re-ordering execution to the compiler. You could only execute the maximum six instructions per cycle if there were no data dependencies. So it only really works for certain kinds of algorithmic data-heavy execution; that's why VLIW is only found in DSP architectures today.

The real issue I can see is to get that time-data into the sound data.
Maybe you could time-stamp the beginning of a recording, and start a new recording every minute (to compensate clock drift).
That might work, biggest issue I see is potential variable latency between 'starting a recording' and the actual first recording happening.
It was confrontational because you ridiculed a point of what I said by extremely overdoing it.

Even the part you ridiculed — which wasn't the main point — is important. Learning and figuring stuff out by doing it yourself is very important. One doesn't need to go to the absurdly extreme like you ironically promoted.

That 2nd step is more time-consuming for some dependencies than others. I'm a strong proponent for understanding how your dependencies work, but there are always limits to the depth of knowledge of the internals of every one.

I am a neutral observer, interested in debate about novel forms of currency rather than any single implementation. The initial point I was trying to make is that I find the argument about ICOs (the vast majority of witch are obvious scams) detracts from the actual technology.

My senior design course focused on asynchronous (clock-less) cryptography circuits; after learning of these, I looked into asynchronous general purpose processors, and learned that ARM actually designed an asynchronous processor back in the 2000's [0].

While they've never quite taken off (the extra gates decrease speed and our harder to manufacture), with the recent side-channel attacks on processor pipelines, I've been hopeful that I would see something pop up. Imagine a world where our processors run without a clock!

There's always a risk when you give money that it will be used in a way you don't approve of or that is generally unsavory. Restrictions are one way to try to control that, but they're not foolproof. I think ultimately if you're willing to give money to an organization (and your goal is not just to get a building built and named after you), you should feel comfortable enough with its management that you're willing to trust it to make the right choices. If management won't make the right choices, your money will probably be better off elsewhere.

There are exceptions for organizations that are large enough to have multiple organizations nested under them with competing or independent goals (such as a university or a large charity with independent projects targeting different issues).
Hack brief: hackers enlisted Tesla’s public cloud to mine cryptocurrency
They should be careful. Copyright is a trade-off of rights. We grant copyright as an artificial carve-out of public rights in order to promote creation. But if those creations increasingly get walled off and locked away from a public that still wants access to them, by combinations of legal and technical means, we need to assess if the balance is right or if we need to reduce the copyright protections.

As it currently stands, support for copyright is overall quite strong - the mainstream belief is still that a fairly substantial degree of protection is justified. But the more peoples ability to continue to access things that are important parts of their memories gets locked down, the greater the chance that more people will come to see copyright as more of a hindrance than benefit.

My son, at 8, still regularly gets upset when he thinks of a fairly inane role playing game he didn't spend all that much time on, whose online servers were shut down about two years ago, and has more than once expressed anger towards the developers for doing so.

He still has not experienced a "serious" loss in this area in the sense of a game he's invested countless hours in and made friendships in. With a culture where more and more time gets spent in these virtual worlds that people invest a lot of time, energy and even money in, if it gets taken away there will be increasing levels of anger as well (if, say, Roblox was to shut down I'll never hear the end of it)

They're going to find themselves threading a fine line here, with new generations likely to be increasingly negative to actions that will be seen not in terms of just shutting down unprofitable games, but as hostile and destructive unjustified attacks on real communities.
That mythos of the startup was part of why I stayed so long, and worked so hard. Long after I'd been diluted to nothing, I still felt the desire to make it work, and the pressure of being one of the founders and having to seem upbeat and to find a positive way forward from every setback.

I also think it's healthy to question the situation, privately, or between trusted colleagues. The failure to analyse, and plan, and act, meant that we continued down a path that clearly wasn't working long after we should have tweaked or pivoted.

I think there's a delicate balance though between open discussion, and maintaining morale. My observation is that it's a personality thing: some people are fine with regular doubting and discussion, and are in fact re-energised by questioning the precepts and either confirming the current path or tweaking it to address an issue. Others find it terribly demotivating to think about this too often.

I had always thought that there'd be clear point of success or failure, but my experience was that it was a very long period where it was neither yet, and impossible to tell which it would be :-)

> A) building a neoclassical economic model on this at all is pointless because of the assumptions you'd have to make. You've just tried to make about four assumptions in order to build your model and they weren't just poor assumptions, they were cringeworthy assumptions.

You're essentially saying "give up trying to understand the world", to which I can only respond "no" (compare the opening quote on http://slatestarcodex.com/2015/08/24/probabilities-without-m... ). I think all the assumptions I gave were true and reasonable; if you can actually make a case for why any of them is wrong I will listen, but just dismissing them is not constructive.
I find your pricing page a bit confusing (could well be me though) - I'm used to SaaS pricing being per-user while you are advertising 'packages' that actually look quite high but aren't really when you calculate the per-user price.

e.g. Maybe replace $29.99 for 10 users with $2.99 per user (with a minimum sign up of 10 users)?
The RISC/CISC "tradeoff" is mostly a non-issue at the higher end of processor design: everything is now a hybrid. You have ARM64 with its SIMD and floating point extensions that hardly qualifies as "reduced" on one side, and Intel systems that have a suspiciously RISC-like internal architecture fed by decoder of the "legacy" CISC instruction set.

It still matters at the small end, which is why Cortex-M exists.

nope. it's a state our bodies have evolved to survive in. there is no scientific evidence that ketosis is harmful.

ketoacidosis is impossible to achieve on keto diet unless you are trying VERY hard. seriously, inform yourself on the topic https://www.healthline.com/health/ketosis-vs-ketoacidosis

you know that because?

totally agree. the difference is that i know that keto is a valid long term lifestyle and there is no evidence of it being harmful, while the benefits i observe every day.

Do you speak enough Polish to evaluate the video, whether it "lies" or not, whether it is clearly presented as a hypothetical worst case scenario that actually happens to some people like government media advertising usually does (and for that matter whether it is likely to have had any editorial oversight from the Polish govt)? It would actually be interesting to hear the views of some of the Polish speakers here.

Because unless there's an awful lot lost in machine translation, the government information website it links to might be anti-crypto slanted but is pretty bland and factual about the risks involved in crypto and its status under Polish law.

(Of course, what's easier to evaluate is the judgement of English language crypto websites like Trustnodes which attack the SEC for "effectively calling investors stupid" for having the temerity to suggest they might not be in possession of all the facts and for the "draconian" halting ICOs that were "legitimate" in every way except perhaps being precisely the sort of unlawful securities offering the SEC is tasked with shutting down. So there's a distinct possibility they just might be exaggerating a tad here)

Every time they mass-build housing, the results are horrible. The quality of the homes is always "transitional". In Europe or even New York, you can rent flats which are large enough for a family and constructed to give you a sense of privacy, even with density. Floors and ceilings and walls are solid enough you barely notice you're sharing the building. Shops are always close by, as well as public transport and schools. California high-occupancy buildings are always in the middle of nowhere, made on the cheap, meant to last years - not decades - and aimed at single 20 somethings without any thought to the long term or general community. If you can't buy a bottle of milk and some bread without getting into a car, you're doing it wrong.

I grew up in and around Boston, where three family homes and corner groceries were the norm, schools were in the neighborhood and the T could get you just about anywhere. I remember seeing Karate Kid when I was young and boggled at the apartment he lived in (with the empty pool and all the doors facing in like a motel) and couldn't imagine that was a real apartment building, but even 30 years later, they're still everywhere in California, and newer versions aren't much better. Apartments are for collecting poor people and built as such, and suburbia everywhere else.

As for your other ideas, by the time you're trying to sort out worthies you don't actually have a social state in any meaningful sense. You can find some fault with most people.

You get the idea.
> Yes, AMP pages load fast, but you don’t need AMP for fast-loading web pages. If you are a publisher and your web pages don’t load fast, the sane solution is to fix your [fricking] website so that pages load fast, not to throw your hands up in the air and implement AMP.

I'm a developer and took some time to analyze AMP from a developer's perspective. The above conclusion is the only sane one. AMP, Web Packing Standard, damn proxy - they are all workarounds that complicate things. Don't be lazy - fix your shit and make your website fast.
