From my experience companies love a failure since it means you got your one idea for a business out of the way. As long as you fail gracefully then it is a selling point for companies because you became more diversify in dealing with business related matters. It also shows you have a passion for what you are doing. Who wouldn't hire someone that could make this kind of statement "I had the experience and knowledge to start x company, but bad luck and timing played against me, and I ran out of run way"?
Unless there's unique opportunity right now to start your own company, keep your current job until you have enough savings to sustain most of your current living standard. I'm surprised you haven't saved more at your age with this kind of salary.

As this article [1] explains, Apple does not (and cannot) actually run on 100% renewable energy globally, as any of its stores/premises/facilities that are connected to local municipal power grids will use whatever power generation method is used on that grid, and that is still likely to be fossil fuel in most locations.

But they purchase Renewable Energy Certificates to offset their use of non-renewable energy, so they can make the claim that their net consumption of non-renewable electricity is negative.

Wow. You are dense.
Fascinating snippet:

"There is only one population of king’s holly in the world, and scientists think it’s entirely clonal: Although it does occasionally flower, its fruit has never been seen. Recent radiocarbon dating suggests that it (they?) is at least 43,000 years old."

There is a difference between who we are, and what we do. Most people work in jobs that do not require the kind of heavy lifting that depends on a sexual dimorphic advantage. Even in pre-industrial settings... tilling fields, harvesting crops, general farm work can almost entirely be done by men, women, and even children.

Yes, there are differences between the average man and the average women physically. Height, muscle mass, etc. but that does not say much about what is a natural role and what is one that is a product of culture. Because we don’t spend, and probably never spent that much of our lives doing very heavy lifting or giving birth.

> ECCO Leather, the first soft goods supplier to commit to 100 percent clean energy for its Apple production

Animal product and clean energy? That’s an oxymoron. Animal agriculture is one of the most inefficient systems there is and a major contributor to climate change.

I’d hope the next step is to make a statement by doing without leather, if Apple is indeed trying to set forward thinking and progressive trends.
interesting, this was around the time that my old colleagues started to dabble. Most got hooked into the hard stuff themselves.

I've been using it for a good 5 years. OK, I had one time. When I removed a disk from a mirror, forced the remaining disk to operate writable as a single, then attempted to migrate it to single disk duplication, then shut it down before it finished migrating.

That's not a sane way to handle data really, I was playing around with unimportant stuff. If it was real data, I would have mounted it read only, and copied it away.
I quit my high paying big tech job in 2014 to start a YC company that failed miserably after about 6 months. I spent another couple of years funemployed.

Interviewing was hard —- trendy tech stacks shifted significantly in the time I was away.

Unless one of the kids you raise does something really great to improve the world. Not having kids to help the environment has no chance of working unless there is a world government that enforces the policy on everyone. This idea that not having children is a great good should be put rest. Raising children well is a lot of hard work and anyone who would do it well should be encouraged to have them.
MKV has more features than MP4.

simply block EU IPs

A lot of us who admire what the EU has the courage to do - and wish that the US had half that courage - would rather disappear from everything but European websites. What many US corporates have done, and are doing, is rotten to the core. It is demonstrably destroying the internet that so many of us spent time bringing to life, and had so much hope for.

I suspect that if someone with some balls and power suggested corraling all US trackers and data brokers - along with companies trying to turn the net into a shopping mall - into a single domain outside of which they could not operate - most Americans would applaud. The EU has done some of what it could, and cheers to them for having the courage to serve their citizens. Wish I was among them.
AVI was used for years, way before MP4 existed, and MP4 did not offer any relevant advantages so groups kept using AVI.

MKV has builtin multiple-language-tracks, chapter and subtitle support (MP4 support is non-standard and incompatible), so if a release needed that MKV was used instead of AVI.

Do you think it's meaningfully different when the discussion is under active attack by bad actors?

How do you moderate to keep genuine propaganda techniques from successfully working on your discussion without calling them out?

I'm asking because I think your point is really good: it sucks that we can't follow the directions of a conversation organically, and I find it a bummer that I'm personally advocating for tactics that will reduce that organic development. So what are the techniques moderators and good-faith participants can apply, in your experience?
I share your respect for corporations that help make the world a better place but I want to pick at the tone of your comment. It implies that businesses can’t do good for good’s sake, that there has to be some greedy motive behind every action.

Betamax wasn't an open standard for digital formats, so that comparison is disingenuous.

The fact that AV1 is explicitly not patent-encumbered is a very important feature.

I often hear that (quote the article) "Government export controls crippled Internet security and the design of Internet protocols from the very beginning"

Can anyone give me examples of which a design flaw in the protocol results directly in poorer security, and how it could have been better designed?

Not that I doubt the claim but I am not literate in this area.
I just want to segway a little bit here, but when I though about doing a Phd I not for once thought I want to stay in academia. I think it's silly the fact that people associate phds with a career in academia, I always thought of it like a means to become a deep expert in a certain field of study and the opportunity to do innovative work in it, mostly by transitioning to private industry. The way the Phd=career in academia became entrenched beats me honestly.

I have looked into this somewhat deeply and he might have a point, but it's a bit subtle. First, current computers are not powerful enough to show him wrong. Second, the Many Worlds interpretation of QM is both deterministic and quantum, and since Jurgen is assuming his super-program creates a multiverse anyway, it's a logical next step.

The meat of Jurgen's proposal is that "fast" programs are more likely (which makes sense, IMHO) and quantum universes are too wasteful computationally (which seems less obvious).

If you want to read more along these lines, I can recommend something quite interesting from last year. It references Jurgen but argues that computational speed doesn't matter, only the length of the algorithm needed to produce our subjective experiences:

You can pretty much forget about tax benefits, thanks to the 2017 federal tax plan that limits deductability of state and local taxes and reduces the cap on mortgage interest deductability. You may still get a deduction, but it's not going to be that much higher than the standard deduction.
> it's a bit of a misdirection to imply that the 'mighty MPEG' was a monolithic actor preventing this course of action from taking place. In fact, the individual collaborators

True but if we are comparing models for getting stuff invented collaboratively (open source vs. licensed IP) then this hardly misdirection. Indeed the fact that the same sort of actors found it possible/useful/necessary to go down the open route makes TD-Linux's point all the more interesting.

This is important because when policymakers talk among themselves they often just assume that IP and such are necessary for fostering innovation.

Current reference implementation's encoding speed is much worse.

That is definitely going to change when real optimized encoders are written, especially since all the major CPU/GPU manufacturers are part of the Alliance for Open Media.
I have this pretty bad. I'll tell you this much, I have had it with partners with pretty extreme sexual histories, as well as those who have had almost no sexual histories. The "hard facts" themselves are not really the issue, the issue is us; our brains. We will find the "hard facts" pretty much no matter what, and no matter who.

I've recently read this article on Reddit [0], and it has some excellent points/advice. Please read through it. If you do like what he has to say, then one way to follow this advice is to look into the concept of Mindfulness, specifically as put forward by Vipassana meditation [1].

[0] https://www.reddit.com/r/OCD/comments/3oyh06/beat_retroactiv...

[1] I specify Vipassana because the term mindfulness has become a world of hipster woo in recent times, and just looking into the term alone will probably take you nowhere.
I am doing the same in Rust (a new language for me) and OCaml (known a little bit). It forces you to find different solutions and you learn new languages at the same time.

This is weird. So if I run a wind farm that generates 1 MW(...h? why is this an energy unit and not power? but whatever...) and I use all of that electricity myself, I can also sell 1 REC to someone else so that they claim they run on green electricity. Which means that now either (a) I have to legally claim I run on dirty electricity (which is a lie on its face and make no sense???) or (b) we both claim we run on green power, double-dipping and screwing up the accounting of greenness.

Am I misunderstanding something? How does this work?
From an OO perspective, Elm lacks interfaces. Typeclasses are probably the best way to handle the idea of interfaces in the functional programming model.

Since functions are first class, you can bodge this with an object that has functions in it, but since those don't serialize they don't play well with a lot of Elm idioms if you put them in your model.
That's a very important distinction.
This is a really good time for him to shut up and lawyer up.

The duty of the prosecution is to prove their case in court. The fact that they have seized his computer(s) and carried out forensics already, means they are looking hard for a conviction. If they freak him out with this sort of circumstantial evidence, he will say something, and it's never a good thing.

Legal precedent depends on jurisdiction and you haven't shared that.
Connecting to Tor is a 'fact'. What value that fact has is up to the prosecution to prove. Relevancy is key. Best to wait and see what they alleged happened and then challenge just those set of facts.

If he says nothing, they have a lot to prove. In many places in the US, they will come in with multiple felonies then accept all sorts of plea bargains as it drags on and on and on, like a bad used sales car man.
I'll step out on a limb here and say that ECCO doesn't raise animals strictly for their products, but sources leather from animals that have been used for additional purposes.

I did it. Quit my high paying job(not anywhere as high as your though) got a good compensation package and spent 4-5 years starting a company together with my dad. The company still haven't succeeded but haven't shut down either.

Now I work as a freelance consultant and am starting with two new ideas. BUT this time I will do it differently.

I will most certainly keep working my "regular" job until I have traction with one of the other ideas. I have a high paying job, could of course cut all expenses(this is not fun a few years in btw!) and live of very little. But the other option with a high paying job is to invest all of the excess pay into whatever endeavor you are planning. You most likely have enough excess pay to hire one or two other people to work on your idea while still working your day job.

This even gives a little more meaning to your daytime job as it then finances your future startup.

>> The products have extremely long usage cycles relative to the industry standard.

I don't see this trend at all in my environment. Actually quite contrary. Some, who love Apple products, always upgrade really soon. I've got an Sony smartphone for 6 years. Regarding tablets, my parents, sisters, parents in law have an Android tablet, Surface and iPad and independent of the brand they all have theirs for years and don't plan to upgrade soon.

So, this is a myth common to premium products. Probably part of the marketing strategy (same for cars, kitchen gear, etc.).

No that's how it works. That's also the reason why Norway, despite only using hydro, has only 40-50% renewable energy in some statistics. They sell green energy certificates to consumers abroad (e.g. in Germany). Officially, Norwegians then use coal power whereas in reality it's all hydro power. There isn't even enough transmission capacity to the south to get that kind of exchange physically.
Well yeah, users want the full fucking product, not the MVP.

MVPs happen to be an (apparently) efficient model for startups, but its not like anyone actually wants it. Your users might grudgingly accept your half-finished, buggy, unoptimized MVP because nothing better is available to them, but how could you possibly expect anyone to be happy with this?

MVPs are pushed by businesses, not by consumers. But on the market-scale, it also pushes MVPs (because you get bonuses from being first-to-market and such).

But no individual consumer goes around saying "yeah I'd love to be promised the world, and instead recieve a millionth of it".

Meh, I grew up before computers, and let me tell you: There were plenty of fucked up things to sucker yourself into, before the internet, and when it comes to growing up, unhealthy decisions have always been part of the program.

Just like the newfound diversity of musical tastes and choices, there are more recipes for bad decisions, but you can only listen to so many artists, and the law of probability points to the tendency that the ratio of good and bad decisions has expanded proportionally, and whatever the choices may be, the liklihood of outcome once chosen runs the same odds as ever.

I could be wrong, but I suspect that's what's going on, as far as the big picture frames up.
