No, it's not quite. The parent is talking about making the final decision, which is complementary to the process of researching solutions.

I completely agree - I'm all for (for example) healthcare that's free at the point of provision and looking after the vulnerable, and think our economies throw off more than enough surplus for us to fund this type of programme without disincentivising ambition - but I don't think a vast monolithic bureaucracy is necessarily the best way to do it. The tragic thing is that in the example of the NHS here in the UK, the left have made the organisation so bloody untouchable that even potentially beneficial reform is blocked - for example I think if we had a nominal charge (£15?) for a GP visit it would go a huge way towards discouraging e.g. the worried well and pensioners visiting their GP for a weekly chat..

It comes down to supply versus demand. If what somebody learns in increasingly advanced education has any practical benefit then it would imply that they would have a practical skill that few other people would have.

Of course this is premised on the rarity of supply, which is no longer really true with millions of phds and growing out there. And it's also premised on the existence of a practical and meaningfully valuable skillset gained in the process of obtaining the doctorate which is I think reasonable, but still certainly debatable -- and at the minimum going to be contingent on what/where somebody studies.
And I generally vehemently disagree with tptacek and most of what he stands for, but he's correct here.

> When Apple decides to take away an app I paid for, I have no security to block them. When Apple decides to quit posting security updates, I'm out of luck. When Google reaches in and takes my location data without permission, I can't stop them.

This is not security. This is some weird definition of security you're using here.

> With open software, there's no guarantee I'm more secure. But when some security issue does come to my attention, I'm more likely to have some say in how I respond. Somebody claims to have a more secure or privacy-respecting driver? Strongly recommended by experts I trust? I'll look into it. With Apple, I can't. There is no such alternative.

Software security doesn't much matter with phones when the hardware security is crippled or non-existent.

Software security means fuck-all if you can pull from the phone's memory via a cable, via the modem, or via JTAG. The iPhone is the most secured hardware of any phone on the market and by quite a long shot.

Reading through the comments here is frustrating because tptacek seems to be talking about hardware and all of the responders are talking about software. It's not like your personal computer where you "need to get physical access in a powered on state". Getting access to an adversary's phone is _beyond trivial_.

I follow a prayer-like process for some life choices. Heart <> Gut <> Mind (colloquial terms). The article advocates ways for the mind to check the gut. But perhaps the person commenting is saying there's a direct way to get a good answer.

In a state of contemplation for instance, fears and self-centered cravings have less of an influence over decision making. The mind might be great at identifying Kahneman-style cognitive biases (or in the case of the article, imagining failure conditions), but a deep, silent awareness can help inoculate the biggest biases of all: fear & craving.
I don't know about the details of the case so I'm trying not to claim that somebody did something in bad faith. I find internet lynches distasteful.

Generally you are going to connect to Netflix or Google and then it is up to them how they serve their traffic. Presumably only a small percentage of YouTube videos gets a lot of the traffic. They could even control that by which videos gets suggested. Which would be my personal theory why Google search results have arguably been getting worse. Because they seemingly have a lot of incentive, both in terms of load and ads, to serve the same things to many people.

There's also Monkey X, a dialect of BASIC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_X

It was previously called Monkey but then changed to Monkey X, which allowed me to use Monkey. Fun fact: I originally wanted to call it Tiger, because they're my favorite animals, but not two days after I wrote that name down, I opened Appel's Modern Compiler Implementation in ML and discovered that the language implemented in the book is also called Tiger. Thus, a Tiger became a Monkey.

And yet the computer industry is the most innovative in history. Computers got faster and cheaper than any other product ever. The speed and price drop led directly to new uses every day.

The ability to write your own software without a factory led to all manner of companies writing software vs just the handful of hardware companies.

Because software is copied for zero overhead, a single blind programmer can write software for millions of people (they have).

FastMail uses our in-house framework Overture, which doesn’t use a VDOM, but rather uses computed properties with explicitly-declared dependencies, observers, and things like that. It’s definitely more effort to work in, but the results speak for themselves: it’s markedly faster than anything done in React or Angular or similar, and uses around 11MB of memory.

> By that definition many unicorns that are seen as prototypes of successful startups would never have been startups.

I don't think that's true? Which unicorns are not companies that were pursuing high-growth, or that were trying to build a unique product<>business model?

> I think you have been tricked by YC and other VCs to accept this definition of 'built from the start for hyper-growth'.

I haven't been tricked into anything. We are commenting on an article written by Steve Blank, one of the "founders" of the lean startup movement. His definition of a startup is "a startup is an organization formed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model." [1]

Of course this is all just semantics, so feel free to use the word in a different way. Where I disagree with you is this:

> To me and most people I know, a startup is a project or company in the growth phase.

I simply don't think that's true. I think most people would not consider e.g. a new law office to be a startup, definitely not in the context of talking about things like the "lean startup" movement.

That's why I love Steve Blank's definition - I think it does what every good definition does - it gives more understanding. It helps give a simple answer to "when does a company stop being a 'startup' and become a regular company". The answer is - when it has found a scalable business model, and is now executing on that.

For the record, I'm a big fan of bootstrapping, I ran a successful bootstrapped development agency in the past (which was acquired), and am now back to running a (bootstrapped) consultancy. I just don't think that people would include my company when thinking of startups - and that's fine! Entrepreneurship takes many forms.

Thanks for taking the time to advise me. It's good to know that having been the only dev on the team is a potential red flag; I'll make sure to de-emphasize that on my resume.

Based on searching Indeed/Whoishiring etc. the market for Haskell developers is fairly small, but London has relatively high demand for developers with Functional Programming experience (since Fintechs tend to like it). My main goal in learning Haskell is just to broaden my programming horizons, but I'm quite enjoying it thus far so FP is a career niche I might explore. With luck I'll be able to get some Node experience doing one of the projects my bosses are discussing as well.

I do have a Linkedin, but it's relatively basic so I'll make sure to update that and my resume before I'm in my final month. In the event that I reach the point where I've not much to learn from my team/projects here by the end of my first three months, is it still worth continuing the internship (assuming I get offered an extension) or is all the value in what I learn as opposed to being able to say I've 'worked' x months?

You seem undecided. You're asking about a $20.000 car and offering as further explanation the comparison between a $65.000-$135.000 sedan and a $50.000 SUV.

> it isn't really an alternative for someone looking at a Model S

Nothing in your comment is an alternative for the Model S. Did you ever consider something in the same category and price range?

P.S. A $20.000 car is a normal car. It's just a car. Not meant to carry handball team, not meant to do it at high speeds or useless acceleration, without driving itself around your driveway. Think of a VW Golf, a normal car.
I'd rather EU forces stream providers to have one account valid for the whole of Europe.
I'm French, lived 10 years in England and now in Spain, I want one iTunes account to give me access to the full EU library and not needing 3 seperate accounts. Same thing with Netflix and Digital TV. That would also help Europeans understand their neighbours better.

These region-restricted distribution contracts should not exist anymore in Europe. It's from the video tape era, it belongs in a landfill.
My personal experience/preference is merely that a "change of scenery" is a highly favorable perk. I have a private office with a window, and after struggling against code for long enough it is so nice to turn my gaze outside and watch the dog park next door.

But I say scenery change, because one of my favorite things about my job is that I work off site frequently at industrial plants, agricultural facilities and the like. Its like a moderate vacation to just be away from a desk, even though my laptop is attached to me the entire time. Working in a dingy concrete bunker can be as much of a perk as it is to look out my window.

Mostly just monotonous environments tend to be what bothers me most I think. My last job was at a business attached to a mall (you could walk out the doors into the mall food court on the second level). Coffee breaks were often just walking around the downtown core or through the attached public buildings over walkways. Changing your environment is such a massive thing for me to help the day/week/month/years not feel like one long slog

One of the interesting differences between Jeff Katzenberg's new startup, and the type of startup's that existed when the Lean Startup was invented is the number of variables which are unknown. This new media startup isn't starting at an unknown. In fact, virtually everything about this business model has been tested before somewhere.

Lean is about experimentally approaching hypothesis about business models. Then scaling up when you find something that works. Short videos targeting mobile isn't new. If I allowed him too, my son would watch dumb youtube videos all day on my phone. This is a gamble that consumers might want better quality content. Not a huge gamble :\
It definitely does not apply to restaurant kitchens. For older buildings not at all -- plenty of totally windowless and even basement kitchens -- and even for newer buildings I think "serving station open to the restaurant floor" counts as "natural light" (and actually isn't all that bad).

Where I just had lunch they get natural light whenever a waiter opens the door to bring some food out.

Asking from ignorance here. Is everyone who uses ethereum subject to the ethereum developers when updates are made?
> But you're still left with a lot of people building something they hope gets bigger. That fits your definition.

Like you said, this is just arguing semantics. That's why I like Steve Blank's definition, which is not about growth (see my other comment on this thread for more).

I would say that "hoping it gets bigger" is not enough - every business owner hopes their business gets bigger. Most of them don't realistically hope it will become the next Amazon, nor do they strive to make that happen, and so many ideas/lessons from the startup world don't really apply to them (while others do still apply, of course).
One wish of mine (because I'm working in a relational/array lang) is find a minimal implementation of K anotated and explained. Like "Let's build a array interpreter" like with http://www.craftinginterpreters.com/.
That's not what the poem is saying.

The poem is saying two things:

1. The line you quoted: Even though one of the paths looks special, in fact both are well-trodden paths. The walker is making a decision on imaginary evidence. The poem is mocking the poor decision-making process and retroactive rationalization.

2. (granted, not in the text, but in the context). The poem is about Frost's friend Thomas having trouble deciding deciding whether to volunteer to fight in WWI. Thomas died in the war.

"The road [supposedly] not taken" did make all the difference, but in a negative way. The walker should have used the rigorous method the article proposes.

I had never heard the term "flashcard blindness." But, wow -- it fits my experience.

I think any time I mistakenly use SRS expecting that it represents the learning process rather than it facilitates learning, I'm prone to this syndrome. More explicitly, the learning process involves active use and problem solving, creating a web of connections between concepts. SRS merely changes conceptual recall times. For a CS analogy, it moves the memorized concept to main memory instead of residing on a slow disk or over the network. Cumulative slow seeks frustrates learning, so this is useful. But, having something in fast memory isn't useful if you don't have an index to it -- the absence of which (contextually) is flashcard blindness.
You keep wording what I'm trying to say far better than I ever could. I'm not surprised you wrote a book :)
