I went through the process & got some attractive offers. I had mixed thoughts overall. Initially, they told me the benefit was I can avoid white boarding & on site coding challenges, however all the companies had their own white boarding or coding challenges. The hotel they put me in was in the Tenderloin, a bad part of town. I had lunch with Triple Byte & they were all very nice. Overall it was a positive experience so much so that I did not submit my urban fee/uber costs for reimbursement, seeing as I got offers on the upper end of their range & still turned them down. Going through their process has easily made me 2x as strong of a developer & helped me recognize my own worth.

Idea is I'd love to cycle through them, sell whatever's working after a couple years. It takes time to find the right business at the right time so I advocate 'incubating' a project in the background, building SEO, seeing if it catches. It just takes time.

I'm polishing off a book about it now -- http://www.parallelentrepreneurship.com. It incorporates a lot of the wisdom in the comments here. (And I'm taking notes on the stuff I missed.)
I'll try this out for bio-tech, thanks for the tip.
Sadly the Sailfish ecosystem very much feels like it's on life support at this point. Many of the applications I remember from Meego are still seeing light maintenance, but many others still exist and function, but no longer see maintenance.

Jolla seems to have no interest in markets outside of Europe (I had to use a UK prepaid bank card and vpn to urchase it from the US), so a great many folks who would like to develop for it can't even get ahold of a device without jumping over hurdles.

I'm to use this phone until either the Librem 5 or Pyra ship, but won't hold my breath.
#1 is absolutely important. You can't just take valuable time and money from people to do "testing" that, in my opinion, wouldn't tell you anything anyway. It's insulting to all of the professionals involved, especially when they have a backlog of /real/ cases to get to.

But let's entertain the idea and say that you get the trial to happen, and your innocent person was found guilty, or vice versa. What do you do with this information? It doesn't help you because you know the outcome already, but in real trials, you don't know, a priori, exactly what happened (unless you were a witness to something, but even then). So a court messed up. What do you do? Real cases don't operate on some outside observer knowing, in advance, what's going to happen. It's why trials are, at best, a good faith attempt at figuring out what happened and dispensing justice appropriately. Everyone just tries, to the best of their ability (ostensibly; I'm ignoring things like biases and such), to piece together the truth, and render an appropriate judgement.

Working for yourself is fantastic.

Having one boss that can fire you sucks, having 100 clients that can fire you is fantastic (you can also fire them).

Now it is difficult to get to your necessary X number of clients (I'm 44 and on startup #8). But not having to deal with stupid inane bullshit incessantly while working is like winning the lottery.

My current full time employment is run like a middle school popularity contest. The company is so shittacular I don't think I've been at worse in my ~30 years of working. This is saying a lot as I've also worked in fast food, construction, healthcare, my own shitty startups, a MLM, among many others.
> Capitalism is what you get when a) you have private property, b) freedom to trade property, goods, and services (labor). Everything you associate with capitalism is either a consequence of this or of not-capitalism market distortions (which we often fail to recognize as such, and then we associate them with capitalism).

If you give people property and trade they will trade in the hopes of growing their property. So it might be part of the official definition or not, it's what will happen every time you start a system with these rules.

> we're very far away from [needing, wanting, or being able to afford growth]

Far away from wanting? agreed. Far away from being able to afford faking it? I think you are not watching politics, but the risk level of reaching that end are increasing yearly.

> They deny the premise that capitalism is just freedom. But... where is the force being applied (by whom and to whom) to make capitalism

You just mentioned two rules. private property and freedom to trade. These must be enforced by law, police and military if necessary.

If you don't enforce property rights people will grab whatever they can carry. You wouldn't like that friends visiting your home for a football match and one leaving with the tv and another leaving with the couch (and another leaving with your girlfriend).

Being born in a socialist country I can tell you that the average person in such a country doesn't feel a force applied to them either. The same way you feel that capitalism is "just the way things are" such person would feel socialism is "just the way things are". The problem is that both sides have a distorted view about the other side.

For instance when I hear the word capitalism I don't think "freedom to do what I would naturally do", I think "strongre people making weaker people's life harder, monopolies, exploiting and lying to each other". When I hear the word "socialism" I think "helping each other, giving up a few unhealthy personal desires to give everybody an equal chance". The same way you feel police stopping people from stealing being a naturally good thing I feel police stopping people from their greed and selfishness being a good and natural thing. Someone who hurts the community by putting himself first needs to be punished. That's very natural thinking to me and nobody needs to force me to think that way.

At the risk of turning into r/wallstreetbets here. My bias is to the downside. Driven by a cacophany of pundits on CNBC post-IPO with negative outlooks. "There is absolutely no money to be made in streaming music on the internet" and "apple isn't into music for the profits" and so on ad infinitum. As well as significant short interest in the options market.

I was able to to it. Here's the source code "hello world.c":

And here's the minimal Makefile to generate the output:

Of course, I did have to swap out the ASCII SP (character 32) for the Unicode non-blank space (code 160) to get this to work, but hey, spaces!

This is my experience with Discover Weekly as well. Everyone seems to be really divided on how well their algorithms work, they either work really well or terribly. I think it's because the quality of signals their algorithm can key off of is so limited due to it being such a passive medium.

There's no way to know if I listened to that track in full because I liked it or because I had it on in the background while doing other work and it wasn't distracting enough (usually the latter is the case for me). Furthermore if I skip a track they don't know if I skipped it because I didn't like it or I wasn't in the mood for that style of music, or I was just sick of that song cause I've heard it enough in the past X listens.

There's no way to easily signal to spotify why I'm taking an action, and yet their algorithms are trying to make assumptions over every little action.
Somewhere around first or second grade. So I got glasses (progressively stronger), then contacts.

Then I went in for an updated prescription, and the optometrist said, "The good news is that we can skip the rest of the exam. The bad news..."

I had cataracts.

After surgery, I no longer wear contacts. But I need glasses to read for very long, or to work on a computer all day.
Challenge defeated:

The term recidivism means "the tendency of a convicted criminal to reoffend."

Thus it only applies to the already convicted. If they weren't caught and convicted, and they reoffend, it's not recidivism.

How exactly is this different to, say, maths, where there is an assumed precedence and when you need to either make that clear or change the order you use parentheses to encapsulate the inner calculation?

What it sounds like is that the Unix shell syntax was established how it was, everyone built on it with all of its syntactical conveniences, and suddenly there's 100% buy-in to the idea that a computer just can't handle a filename with spaces in a shell.

./cmd do-something-with --force file with spaces

./cmd do-something-with --force 'file with spaces'

That's one of the main problems solved. If you're expecting to run an executable with spaces in it, like this:

./do something with cmd --force 'file with spaces'

Then it's another problem but one that can be solved by convention. A GUI can happily execute `./do\ something\ else` but if you're in the shell you've got completions, aliases, functions, symbolic links...

And if that's not ideal, then `./'do something with' cmd …` should be good enough right?

> I'm happy when I'm not living in a ditch. When I'm warm in Winter. When I have food and I'm not afraid of starving to death. When I can afford to pay my rent or mortgage.

Yeah, but I'm even happier when that applies to others, too. I can't even imagine how grand life would be if it applied to every last person on the planet.

But how does money as such figure into that? The value of my money doesn't just depend on the amount of money I have, but also on the amount of money others don't have. If everybody had a billion dollars, it would be the exact same situation than if everybody had one dollar. That's why the whole money obsession seems a bit silly, to put it mildly.

> I'd be very happy spending my life trying to figure out how to benefit humanity with the $127 billion Bezos is sitting on.

If you totally ignore the accumulation part of it, and you pretend it's money that was magically "made" where there was no money, and then added as some kind of gift to the economy, then such mental gymnastics can be fun. I'm with Nietzsche though, the need for power which is implied in the need for money is based on inability, and by the same token, the lack of need for it based on ability and knowledge of self.

You can't easily be happy when you're hungry or otherwise suffering, true. But I'd say I mostly need health and agency, and even then my main happiness comes from the universe existing. If I got bored with my toys, I could just stare at clouds or the skin of my hand or a billion other things and be happy, at the very least content. Do people even know how cool and pretty a rain drop is? How many there are when it rains? And that's even before animals and people. I know this sounds like advice from a hippie calendar, but it's the best way I can describe how I actually do live my life "on the inside". Heather B. also put it well: "it's the simple things that please me" :)

Money is just a tool, like being able to measure weight or distances. It's that we pretend that doing useful things well is proportional to the amount of money someone "makes", and in turn that gives people the idea that just having come by money in any way at all bestows usefulness and importance on them. But they can't even convince themselves, and not me either. It's orthogonal. You need food, shelter, medicine, rights and respect, maybe books and a few other things, but nothing fancy, no jet planes; maybe that's not enough for everybody to be happy, but it'd be enough for a lot of people I dare say, because it might be enough for me. But in so far any of those are tangled up with money, which is just a symbol, a placeholder, that's just us being confused and kinda lame, but says nothing about money doing anything per se.

> This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

I think the question becomes, at what point do we use cross-cutting concerns to identify our tribes? Class is the obvious example...when do middle-class people of different national, ethnic or political backgrounds band together to realize that their interests are far more aligned than they are with people who share those other traits but have a different financial reality, either because they're much poorer or much wealthier?

I'd argue that for the upper class, that distinction has already been made. Rich people already view themselves as trans-national and move their money, resources and influence to wherever they feel it best suits them. They hold meetings in ritzy Swiss mountain towns to discuss common concerns and have residences all over the world, regardless of which country or countries issued them passports.

The reason the discussion about national identities matter is that it creates a useful fiction by which certain groups can be oppressed or otherwise taken advantage of. The US army goes around the world acting in the best interests of many wealthy business owners. The soldiers doing their bidding don't come from those wealthy families, they come from lower classes who view their involvement through the lens of nationalism...they're serving their country. It would be one thing if those wealthy business owners footed the bill for the massive military spending that's representing their interests around the world. But that burden falls largely on the country's middle class while those with the most wealth exert influence to reduce their tax burden.

This may seem like it just describes the US, but it's equally true of the situation in some other countries. Russia's involvement in the Ukraine and Syria is equally carried out by its poorer citizens at the behest of those who will make billions off those wars. And while China has managed to steer clear of active engagements much more so than the US or Russia, their military still protects the interest of their ruling class much more so than it does the interests of the lower classes who inhabit its ranks.

So while everything you've said is true, it's also important to have this conversation to better recognize when these tendencies towards tribalism are being abused by those that understand them. Yes, our natural tendency is to seek a simple heuristic that separates an us from a them and to adjust that heuristic in response to the things that threaten us. That simple formula has worked well over the majority of human history. But as our social structures have become increasingly complex, it stops working well for those that aren't actively exploiting it.

Took the quiz just over a year ago, and passed the phone interview. I stated my preference to avoid very small / early stage startups, and got interviews at Asana, Apple, and a medium-sized startup. Accepted the Asana offer, where I have been working for a year.

I think Triplebyte was really useful for me because I didn't have a CS degree and didn't have any work history directly in tech, so I couldn't get through resume screens via direct applications and didn't really know many people who could refer me. So Triplebyte had high value in getting me actual the actual technical interviews. I'm not sure how valuable it would be for others who don't have trouble with this, but given the minimal time investment (a few hours for phone interview), it's probably worth a shot regardless.

Not meaning to offend, but you're kind of leading in to exactly why Pinker writes the book.

> (the benefits of science and humanism) is an idea worth exploring and defending

He explores and defends those pursuits.

> I don't think collecting a bunch of measures of progress and saying "see, humanism + science works!" is the best way of doing it.

It's at the very least an objective method that doesn't rely on flimsier propositions. You use the phrase "measures of progress" which are a great way to measure progress...

> I'd rather see someone approach the problem by focusing on what is lacking, what are the major outstanding problems and then demonstrate that these problems persist because we have not attempted to tackle them using science to guide practice and humanism to guide our values.

He never disputes that there are still issues, he's just saying that if you only ever focused on things that are missing, you might lose an appreciation for the progress humanity has made.

If you only watched the news (which he specifically rails against), you'd think we were going to hell in a hand basket. Of course we still have issues, but to buy into the "end is nigh" mentality espoused by the media and plenty of people (and some commenters here!) would be to ignore a wide variety of indications that humanity's scientific and social progress are improving.

"They should have a public key upload button next to your domain name in your registrars domain name control panel..."

What about putting the public key in a subdomain.

DNSCurve uses this approach to encrypt DNS packets.

If an authoritative nameserver for a domain can manage encryption of DNS packets without SSL/TLS, x509 and a CA system, is there any reason why an httpd could not do the same?

Management is handled by a "forwarder" daemon that is placed between the nameserver or httpd and the internet.

IMO, much less complex than SSL/TLS, x509 and commercial CAs and control over encryption does not require third parties.
