You remember how Ryan Holiday got pretty famous quite a while back? I like Jordan Peterson, but I fear that he's the same kind of phenomenon. He's just curating all these sources, and we view him as a genius and a pancea for our anxiety ridden young adults.

Im skeptical that risk tolerance has much to do with entrepreneurship. I think a better factor is the desire to do any crap boring job that needs to be done even if you dont want to do it and to keep going in the face of setbacks and failures.

I realized as a developer Im virtually 100% certain of solving any technical problem. As a manager or an entrepreneur there are many problems, such as people problems or market problems, where you simply cant solve it. Often times you might have solved it but you cant be sure.

Also engineering has lots of fun purely intellectual logic and technical problems to solve. Building a business has lots of pure grind problems that dont take much intellectual horsepower but require lots of emotional fortitude and the ability to constantly switch from boring task to boring task, or to do the same boring task over and over.

Running payroll every two weeks, balancing books, opening mail, going to networking meetings, kissing up to people, training people, interviewing people, walking around and just talking to the team, talking to vendors, reviewing customer/vendor/employee contracts etc etc.

With regard to failures. Here are some of mine: having a star performer leave, laying people off during a recession at christmas, not being sure you can make payroll, losing a big client, having to fire a good friend.
Sounds a bit like a strawman then, does anybody actually maligns "goto" as an error handling construct in C? It's pretty standard in my experience. It's goto "like in BASIC" that's utterly evil and rightfully maligned. And having learned C coming from BASIC I speak from experience...

The whole point of my site is to allow anyone to "create your own SouthPark." The animations are crappy, you can use cutouts and gifs and everything is spritesheets that you can rotate/scale/position.

There are a lot of animation platforms on the web, but I think SuperAnimo is unique. Everyone else focuses on "explainer videos" for your business, or "whiteboard animations." My site is for fun. It's also my favorite project to work on so hopefully someday I can work on it full time.

> Again, the point is passing along information, whether it's done in person or online makes little difference.

But it makes a huge difference for some people like me. Information passed verbally just doesn't stick for me. For some reason it's not properly recorded in my memory and if you ask me about if half an hour later I would have forgotten 80% of what I was told.

Now give it to me in writing, and I'd probably remember it until the end of days.

I stopped using voicemail due to the shitty UI back when I had a dumb phone- I didn't want to spend 5-10 minutes waiting to listen to all my voicemails and sit through a robotic dialog.

Today, I use an iPhone and now use voicemail as a basic call filter. If I get a call from a number I don't recognize I immediately let it go to voicemail. At my leisure later in the day I can check the transcription service to see if it's spam.

I find it bizarre that the feature fell out of use for me, and came back into it because of this recent spate of spam phone calls.
"If you want X, Y works" doesn't imply that "doing Y means you want X," which, unless I misunderstand you, is what you were reacting to.

Speaking of SEALs, I just wrote about them in the draft of my next book, on becoming entrepreneurial, in relation to ASEEP fields, which may be relevant to this thread, since military training trains performance:

"Entrepreneurship is as active, social, emotional, expressive, performance-based as any field. Most books and courses on entrepreneurship teach entrepreneurship appreciation, not practice. They may not hurt, but they don't necessarily develop you to genuine, authentic, free self-expression. Business literature isn't written to help you become more entrepreneurial. If all the business articles about Navy SEALs -- to pick one genre of entrepreneurship literature -- helped people perform as SEALs do, SEALs would read business literature instead of train. They train because it works."
Regulatory capture ("corruption and legalized bribery" in other words) is the critical point that should be raised in every discussion regarding FCC. Without addressing this formative power dynamic, there can be no meaningful progress.
Wait, these are cons to working from home? If you get distracted at home, you probably get as equally distracted at work. I have been working from home for close to 5 years now and for me it's been the exact opposite - less distractions, more work done in shorter amount of time it would take me to do it in the office. Less social interaction - sure, but it doesn't have to be that way. Social interaction lost one place can be gained elsewhere. Stringent routines? What's wrong with discipline and having the ability to engage and disengage when you please?

HN draws a lot of its user base from the fame of the Y Combinator VC firm, and a little bit from the occasional good thread being cross-posted elsewhere. So, a good recipe for creating a similar community is to attach yourself to an existing brand the way HN did. (As with HN, the results are going to be mixed.)
At my job, we do Monday-Wednesday-Friday in the office and work from home the other two days. It seems to me to be the perfect balance between the coordination and social benefits of being in an office and the freedom and productivity gains of remote work. I'm surprised more companies don't try this kind of schedule.

Even if they wanted the 70$, at the moment there’s nothing they can do about robocalls without cooperation from the entire industry. A robocall doesn’t look any more shady than a normal call from a receiving carrier’s perspective; whatever solution they come up with will have tons of false positives.

It's because us remote-workers can keep the Hacker News tabs open with nobody watching :)

OP is suggesting that the research is invalid because it didn't look at the company level productivity, which is then an excuse to validate his own preference. It's fine to have preferences, everybody does. Making broad claims is generally what gets you in hot water when communicating online.

It would have been more informative to have a specific example. Maybe his point is that it takes a lot of energy for him to figure out how to work together remotely, and that energy is better invested in other things like company culture.

> If not, they learn actions have consequences.

Those consequences may mean that everyone is looking for them whole night. Or severe injury. Or you having to deal with cops due to trespassing.

Or that they will bully other kids and you won't be there to learn it happened and deal with it.

There are consequences as in "teacher is angry for 5 minutes" and then there are consequences.

Also, if my kid would intentionally loose devices like that, that kid would have less freedom and later then the kid I could trust.
You're right, radicalization isn't the right word.

Indoctrination is a better word choice for how I feel about it.
If that's the case then the matter should be closed. System76 was under no obligation to ship with LVFS support and it slipped due to other constraints.

I've been reading through posts on Reddit seeing if I could get a better understanding of the timing of what happened, if anything it's worse now but it seems that Richard's principal contact at System76 held off on notifying him until the release was finalized and is no longer with the company. (https://www.reddit.com/r/linux/comments/8i6swc/system76_and_...) It's unclear if he left before or after the release.

Judging by the all of the inaccuracies in Richard's blog post about the timing of announcements, nature of the application, and the platforms it supports, which all reflect poorly on System76 and benefit his argument; I'm inclined to agree that this is a FUD campaign to shame System76 into supporting LVFS. If you take into account his blog history of shaming companies (e.g. Razer), and his speaking about himself in the third person on reddit; Richard really sounds like a self important twat who is trying to strong arm everyone into using his software.

You can accept an axiom for the sake of arguemnt and do some reasoning from it without really agreeing with it. You can evaluate the form of an argument without necessarily thinking that it's true or false.

The Munchhausen trilemma explains why you need axioms at all. If you could put forward an argument that didn't need further support (interrupting the "ad infinitum"), then you wouldn't necessarily agree with the argument but you could at least accept it as a self-contained idea. But we can't even get that far. Proofs that aren't either circular or endless must rest on some other statements that we can't prove.
> Skype for business is absolutely excellent though. We run it as the sole phone service for more than 10.000 employees and it’s the best we’ve ever had software wise.

The company I was working for had Skype for Business, and the video calls were such a disaster that people would secretly use Hangouts for every meeting that didn't have higher-ups participating.
> Is this really the go to architecture for enterpire - or more appropriately, large projects?

You have to understand that the context in which this kind of architecture is needed is high-turnovers environments. Basically, in the 90's, managers at big corps - IBM, ATOS, etc... asked the question : "how can we fire a whole team, hire a whole another team and put them in front of the fired team's code and have them be productive in a few days ?".

The answer to this is to heavily compartimentalize everything. Your manager tells you that you must implement a very particular behaviour in a very particular class ; you aren't meant to know what's happenning in other parts of the system.

I'm continuously surprised how little attention social status gets here. People seem to always assume that all decisions in IT/Tech/SV are entirely or mostly due to economically rational factors.

I think remote work is yet another example where social status play at least some part, if not a significant. Employees, probably especially managers, will of course see their social status diminish if everyone were to be remote. In an extreme case we're going from an in-person small kingdom to a somewhat depersonalized title online.

Even beyond remote work, I think there's quite a few examples in tech, and white-collar work in general, where social status seems to trump economical rationality. But maybe it's hard to admit and thus best left out.

if apple is in a position where the only thing keeping people using iphones is imessage lock-in, they're already fucked. fortunately (for them) i don't think this is the case; the iphone is still a very desirable platform in its own right.

and having imessage on other platforms can work the other way: if people use it and like it, they can be more likely to switch altogether. (in a similar way, i think the ipod brought many people to the mac.)

in terms of leverage:

if you have the dominant messaging platform, you've

(1) defensively kept someone else from having the dominant platform, and using it however they wish (if e.g. google ever got its head out of its ass with messaging and made something good, that might become dominant and draw more people towards android)

(2) you've got a frickin' platform! you can start selling apps into the messenger and make $ that way. while apple has still been shy about ads (and every1 in general has been shy about ads in messengers), they have dipped their toe in the water with ads in the app store. you could certainly imagine ads in imessage. you could use that base of connections as a good starting point to grow a social network.

and who knows what else.

a sort of analoguous situation was facebook buying whatsapp for $3 billion. why did they do that? as near as i can tell, they are not making any money on it. i assume it was a defensive aquisition: something as popular and ubiquituous as whatsapp (outside the US; in the US more modest adoption) is a great starting point to make something that will take over facebook. or simply make fb less relevent, since a large part of its utility is as universal messenger.

apple could have something similar to whatsapp just for the cost of developing an imessage client for android.
...where "AAAA" and "BBBB" are two distinct messages, and not two sets of four messages each ("A", "A", "A", "A").

Book: Vagabonding: an uncommon guide to the art of long-term world travel.

Why ? Opened a world of possibilities to me. Changed my mindset on a lot of topics. His books don't offer many answers, but helped me put my goals / life into perspective.

excerpt:
“There is still an overwhelming social compulsion — an insanity of consensus, if you will — to get rich from life rather than live richly, to “do well” in the world instead of living well. And, in spite of the fact that America is famous for its unhappy rich people, most of us remain convinced that just a little more money will set life right. In this way, the messianic metaphor of modern life becomes the lottery — that outside chance that the right odds will come together to liberate us from financial worries once and for all. Fortunately, we were all born with winning tickets — and cashing them in is a simple matter of altering our cadence as we walk through the world.”

Yep. Those maligners forget that state machines are useful ways to structure code, are inherently analyzable (they form the basis of modeling languages like PlusCal), and can only be fully expressed in C using goto.

(No, you can't use tail calls to represent state machines in C; that is not a feature of the C language but rather of a given implementation. And yes, you could model state machines with an enum variable and a big switch statement, but that's even harder to follow.)

What trips people up is when goto is used to jump across resource lifetime boundaries (which C++ addresses with RAII), when they maintain too much state in cross-state variables that they forget what their invariants are, and when they use a goto as a replacement for what should be a function call.

Using goto to implement e.g. a data processing loop, a non-recursive graph traversal algorithm, or a parsing state machine are all perfectly valid uses.
Valmet Automotive revenue up 77%, records a loss due to “production hell”
As you allude to, the basic idea is the same stuff you've heard if you've read anything about "mindfulness." Basically a lite Buddhism -- a lot of your unhappiness comes from a constant spigot of unbidden thought you can't shut off and you can improve your life by learning how to shut it off and be absolutely focused in the present moment, through exercises like meditation. I think this is a bit oversold but not bad.

But that's not really enough to have a media empire and series of books, so the book is larded with all kinds of ridiculous claims, including risible Biblical exegesis, an attribution of various historical atrocities live Kristallnacht to a failure to like In the Now, an extended discourse about how living In the Now can make menstruation a rapturous experience rather than a painful one, and obviously bogus claims about how living In the Now will actually cause the molecules of your body to spread out and make your body less dense.

"It is unclear whether existing hardware mitigations can protect against these dangerous network attacks. For instance, while clouds and data centers may (and sometimes do) use ECC memory to guard against bit flips, researchers have, from the first paper on Rowhammer [33], warned that ECC may not be sufficient to protect against such attacks."

First, I'd be interested to see stats on data centers and public clouds not running machines with ECC memory. I'd estimate that ECC prevalence in servers in data centers is closer to "ubiquitously" than "sometimes."

I see this sort of ambiguous language about ECC and rowhammer frequently when discussion of rowhammer comes up. Has there been any proof-of-concept demonstration that rowhammer privilege escalation works on a system with ECC memory? If there has been, that's interesting and worrisome. If there hasn't been, that's not very interesting or worrisome; it's the equivalent of writing "hardware may not protect against yet-to-be-demonstrated attacks" (which is trivially and always true.)
