Pony is a bit different to a typed Erlang though:

* Pony has two message passing options: copy or share (by ref). Both are safe, Erlang does only copy.

* Pony is non-blocking only, there are no blocking calls in any stdlib function.

* Erlang supports no native threads, only green threads. So it favors IO over CPU, distributed computing on different cores is only via distributed nodes.

* Pony supports native threads, but no distributed actors on different hosts yet.

* Pony is massively faster, uses much less memory, and has better cleanup via a clever GC protocol.

Well....centuries depends on how many centuries and what revolutions, unrest and discord might arise :)

The village I live in (as were a few around this area), was completely razed to the ground during the 1715 Jacobite rebellion. So things kinda hard to start again and many of the houses in the core of the village were rebuilt between 1730'ish to the early 1800's. These old houses are highly valued, also the core village is also an architectural conservation area.

I could discuss this stuff forever but I need to get stuff done today :)
California to Introduce 'Right to Repair' Bill
When you don't charge, users who say "I would buy that" are not actually saying yes to your marketing pitch. They're usually saying "hmm, seems interesting"

When you say "preorder now!" the users who pay you money have most definitely said yes.

Some will be disappinted, yes. But, if you actually have a product, some people will still be disappointed and want a refund. This is inevitable.

What asking for a preorder does is it filters down to people actually interested in paying money for your pitch.

Wedding rings have an EXTREMELY high margin, and almost infinite budget for advertising. If you google rings once, you will continue seeings ads for YEARS, regardless of any conversations you have.

Honestly if Facebook knows you are in a relationship for 3+ years and you are under 35, you are going to start seeing ads for engagement rings even without searching for anything.

If you really think they are getting you through the microphone, start talking to your phone without anyone around, while browsing Facebook about Baby Diapers, Baby Formula, and Baby Toys. Don't search for anything baby related, and obviously use something else if you are a Father already.

Yeah I'm sure a company like Buffer could be willing to share that information (like they already do for their revenue on the Baremetrics "open startups" page)

I agree employees (and past employees) could offer valuable information, although they're probably legally bound by some confidentiality agreements...

However I think when you're in a market it's easier to estimate how your competitors are doing, even though you don't have any privileged info.

"no previous systematic approaches including random testing have found any bugs in the mem2reg and gvn passes"

Uh?
This is demonstrably false. A quick trip to llvm bugzilla will show you that.
Zhengdong Su's C fuzzing has found basically endless bugs in GVN (and we fuzz NewGVN as well), and many bugs in GVN are well known at this point.

We just told him to not waste his time on GVN because they aren't sanely fixable without rearchitecting (hence, NewGVN).

Things like this frustrate me because a simple question on the llvm dev mailing list would have also elicited the correct answer.

While the existence of a "Cloud to Butt" extension makes me inordinately happy, both for reasons of security[0] and ensuring business-critical mistakes like this don't happen, I can't imagine actually using such an extension.

[0]Seriously, you shouldn't run any extensions at all that aren't by very trusted parties. Especially ones that can see and modify the contents of websites you view.
Having taken a closer look, it looks like the problems go even deeper than that: it rewrites `l()` calls in functions through a regex/replace on `fn.toString()`. This is similar to the mechanism that broke shorthand Angular.js DI in production. So code can break if it goes through some bundler than renames the `l` variable, or if a minifier does it, etc.

I'd imagine closures also break.

I think you’re drawing conclusions that might not be warranted by this data. The rent survey is fundamentally different because it’s rents reported by large apartment management firms, not all private leases. We don’t really know what’s going on in the rent-a-house market. On the sales side the data is all recorded sales, which are public records.
> The consensus model is based on human review of the underlying code; humans get to decide whether to include a block in their version of the repository.

Since git commits can easily be signed (and IMO should be most of the time), when I explain this I usually try to describe the consensus algorithm as being based on a set of known valid signers which I think further helps bridge the gap for people that understand "proof of authority" chains.

Regarding electricity consumption, what do you think of the argument that mining is so competitive that it can only be profitable by subsidized electricity, and that electricity is only subsidized when the local jurisdiction is creating more of it than it needs anyway? In other words, mining doesn't actually create new demand for electricity, it just soaks up the remainder already available.

One feedback, please do not let peoples comments influence you on what to build, have your vision and follow your heart. As the famous Steve jobs saying

Upvoted for the idea alone. The force of raindrops hitting roofs is currently wasted. I don't know if it's enough to be useful, but I love the concept of harvesting it.
no, the pattern is to ask them to pay, but not actually make them pay before it's built. If they're willing to click the buy button with the price clear, you've learned something valuable about the price/value you're presenting, and you can learn that before you spend the money building the product.

To be honest, I've never been 100% comfortable with this pattern - it seems deceitful at the surface. I'd prefer an alternative that makes it clearer the product isn't available yet, but allows you to capture that same information. But I think once you do that, lots of people that might be happy with the price simply won't bother letting you know they'd be willing to pay - they just go somewhere else.

[edit]

Sibling comment talks about a 'pre-order' button, which is close to what I meant by the second option. I think you learn something really valuable with that approach, but I'm not sure it's the exact same thing you'd learn if the user thought it was available now. IDK, maybe it's _more_ valuable...
Or people only living where they can afford to. Lots of people might like to live in New York, London, or Sydney (just a few examples). The big problem with housing subsidies is, who gets them? You cant just give them to everyone, or the price of housing will quickly correct to balance supply with the artificially increased demand.
Assuming you're talking about a bot similar to the OP's that scans random projects you don't own, that's very different from CI which is explicitly configured by projects.

The root cause of everything is the laws of physics and, to the extent it is a separate issue, the initial state of the universe.

This is an interesting way of decomposing a business model in general, not just documenting existing companies. I could see something like this chipping away at the Excel models that we all made in business school. Reusable inputs, explicit sourcing of assumptions, creatively visualizing how to arrive at the outputs, easier to run what-if analysis.

Not sure who the market would be as a paid service, but would be being a great teaching tool.
"You could buy in Vallejo and commute over 1.5 hours to the city every day. Within most "desirable" cities in the Bay Area, houses will be out of your reach."

I assume you mean 1.5 hours, round trip - either on the vallejo ferry (right to the core of SF) or timing your commute by car to miss rush hour. That fits my own experience well.

And if so, I don't know why that's so terrible.

My generation (generation X) was raised by parents who routinely and happily made similar sacrifices - either longer commutes or a second, part time job as a UPS driver or an extra shift at the nursing job, etc. to make our lives work.

I don't understand how these minor sacrifices, which were nearly universal in the suburban middle class we were raised in, are now "unthinkable" and clear evidence of "social pathology".

There is a large precedent of people writing financial reports and projects so I would look at accounting literature or talk to an accountant (possibly in a non-professional relationship) or business analyst about it before talking to a UX person.

I think I'd like to see an overview calculation at the top (which I think I see) and then see it broken down hierarchically below. I think that might be what you are trying to do, but it doesn't come across clearly.

Another issue is that this is described as a revenue report but I see stuff in there about salaries, desk costs, etc. which is not revenue but expenses. A real financial report would probably consider both and should be completely clear about what is what.
Not housing specifically (although he does talk about it every now and then), but I find Doug Noland’s analyses on global credit dynamics to explain a lot about what I see in the world around me. From what I’ve heard, he was also on the right side of understanding the severity of the subprime crisis (haven’t read the blogs around that time, though).

When people use the term blockchain they don't just mean a chain of state changes, they mean one that is backed by the sort of decentralized consensus model you described. The nomenclature isn't ideal, but the convenience of having one word to describe a somewhat complex topic wins out.

I mean even the Wikipedia article on blockchain treats it this way [1], mentioning the consensus model in the initial blurb, and asserting that Satoshi invented the blockchain.

This post is very oblique in a way that makes me suspicious.

1. Is Keybase still a for-profit corporation?

2. No actual technology is announced here. Is the purpose of this post to announce funding? If so, how much funding is it and what are the conditions under which it is provided?

3. How is Stellar compatible with privacy? Keybase mentions MobileCoin in this blog post, but they are only using Stellar's consensus protocol, not the full Stellar protocol. I think that is because Stellar isn't private. What is Keybase doing to solve that if they are using the Stellar network?

Not sure I follow. You assert that a product will be designed to cost FOO, but then they decide to advertise and they increase the price to FOO + x. That's not how it works, the advertising costs are built in the original FOO, being presentations, conferences, regular ads, you name it.

Companies use advertising to increase their sales, either from 0 to something or from something to something more. Along with R&D, production costs, running costs and profit, the advertising cost is part of the planning from the start.
"My point was that the protocol is superior to Slack in general."

But that's not the point you made. For it to be better in general, it has to improve the way people communicate.

It's fine if it's not a priority, but why ship a crippled compiler when they could ship the upstream compiler? ABI issues maybe? (I've heard from OS X users that XCode updates have broken the string ABI multiple times anyway...).

Which rent survey are you referencing?

I'm going off https://www.zillow.com/santa-clara-county-ca/home-values/ which AFAIK uses all rent postings.

FWIW, there's also intuition backing this. e.g. go to zillow and click on units for rent in Cupertino. And be shocked that their estimated purchase prices are ~40x yearly rent. (It's difficult for me to see how that just isn't irrational pricing)

Do you mind expanding on the contrast a bit by explaining the more traditional society part?

I was born and raised in southern California, and one thing that I can consistently remember since I was a child was just how transactional southern Californians are in their relationships (as well as generally flaky, and relatively superficial; these are all common stereotypes, but in my experience, they contain a certain amount of truth).

So I know that this dynamic has not only existed for my lifetime, but also well known enough to be a stereotype, and I'm not sure how much it contributes to the larger dangers we've discussed.

I'd argue this isn't inconsistent; these states are so small they effectively have ceded control of their economy, as well as their national defense, to the larger European community. Kosovo and Montenegro, for example, previously used the German Mark. This seems pretty close to an admission that for whatever reason (scale, stability) they're not able to issue their own currency in a credible manner.
