Honest question. The generics of Truvada are available in India for around USD$30 a bottle from a number of local Indian Pharma companies including Cipla. It would still be cheaper for Americans to travel to India on a budget flight and buy back a year's supply of these generics. Wouldn't US immigration allow importation of small amounts of medicine for personnel usage if you have a doctor's prescription?

> That doesn't prevent launching a new ship.

No, but launching a new ship is a bad idea if your reasons are frivolous. It's a waste of resources. Most people seem to think that resources like labor and trust are magical and grow on trees in community-driven projects (especially when it comes to executing on their pet-projects or desired features), and I can tell you they don't.

> The new-comers and those have deserted the ship and looking for an opportunity to come back -- they are massively confused as hell right here right now.

What exactly is so confusing about "Perl 5 is a stable language that has been in use for decades, and will remain developed, and Perl 6 is a backwards incompatible evolution that is independent". You're saying things like you're "confused as hell" but it's not really hard to figure out, and it's not even clear how hard you actually tried. The Perl.org webpage even literally states "Perl 6 is a sister language, a member of the Perl family, that is not intended to replace Perl 5".

Frankly when people say things like this, I'm often convinced it's not actually out of genuine confusion, but often feigning ignorance to make a point, to the level of being child-like. Computer programmers _love_ making everything complicated (especially over small trivialities that "could" be "fixed" if we "cared enough") -- but "Two similar things share a common family name" is not very complicated, to pretty much anybody.

And here's a counterpoint: I haven't written Perl in nearly 10 years with any regularity, and I recently started a new project because I wanted to write a small web app. Here's what I did: I searched "Popular Perl Web Frameworks" and came across Mojolicious. I then saw it was a Perl 5 framework. Then I followed the tutorial and wrote a web application and I was done. There was no "massive confusion" about it.

> Larry Wall has taken that sailed ship long ago and will not come back (admit his mistake).

People in the Perl community have admitted for a very long time that there were many mistakes made in the development of Perl 6, including the poor naming convention that maybe ties the languages too closely, when they are quite different. I'd say the mistakes are well known, even 10 years ago when things were far different.

If a product was actually genuine, then sure.

In this case—as Louis himself admitted—they were not manufactured by or on behalf of Apple. They weren't even manufactured by the current OEM and sold on the side. They might prove to be of equal quality, they might have been manufactured to Apple's particular recipe, but that doesn't make them genuine.

Just because a company used to be an OEM for Apple in the past doesn't mean their present output is "genuine" or is allowed to bear the Apple logo.

In term of telegram, I'm not positive but I always thought that the encryption was in transit and if you could infect the phone you could see the messages as the intended user looks at them. An "analog problem" attack if you will.

I don't know if you can see telegram messages simply by having access to the phone.

I’m reluctant to use SO to ask questions based on most of the responses here, and rarely have the opportunity to contribute, but I did have a surprisingly good interaction a couple years ago. I’d googles around for some esoteric solution, and eventually honed in on a 95% solution on SO. After figuring out the last piece I went to add a comment to the accepted answer with my details based on my setup, but didn’t have enough karma. So I added my solution and apologized about not having the karma and it belonged as a comment to the more complete answer, and forgot about it. Next time I’d checked back, I found someone had given me the karma to comment. I didn’t even know anyone could give karma, but it certainly wasn’t from upvotes. So that was maybe a rare nice event on SO.

A lot of open problems in mathematics boil down to trying to analyse "matrices of a specific form" - I think while this viewpoint is important to recognise (essentially: quaternions are a finite-dimensional real associative algebra), it might not give as much intuition as other interpretations. It's kind of like how in computer science, many many hard problems can be restated as problems about some graph constructed from the input, but now you have two problems...

I disagree, they have built and maintained side hustles and proven they can do it. It is just that they have yet to find monetary success. There is success in launching at all with a full time job.

I agree that if you can devote more time then definitely do though. Maybe that is going part time, or getting rid of some debt first so you can take longer breaks and focus then.

The other difference I think showing here is that a side hustle doesn't look anything like a startup. A small business doesn't even look like a startup. If you have a startup you probably have VC and employees, then of course you should quit your job.

A side project you are trying to turn into a small business can be done alone and slowly scale up. At some point in that long process you will probably need to quit your job, but that will hopefully be easy to see when you get there.
Which begs the question of why Amazon isn't offering this themselves, or doing it in the background in a way that prevents this from being the problem it is.

I have to wonder at some level if in the short term this boosts their sales figures, but long term erodes trust in buying from them and diminishes their stranglehold.

I used to trust Amazon reviews to the point I'd often not read a ton or research reviews else where before purchasing.

These days I often opt to just buy from a retailer from a name brand. With Amazon increasing prices it often isn't much difference in price and there's better quality control.

It has officially become a chore to buy something on Amazon if you care about doing any due diligence.

The total U.S. deaths in the Vietnam war+ from 1950-1975 were 58,209 over 25 years time (from the time the first U.S. 'military advisors' and funding arrived to the end of the war). That's not far from our maximum _annual_ automotive deaths (54,589). In recent years, with better automotive safety, we're down to 37,461 per year, but clearly the conclusion is to outlaw automobiles since they're far more dangerous than war.

Especially since insurance is more likely to cover automotive death than death in war.
> If there's one thing the government is known for, it's writing bug-free, efficient software.

That's because they're usually required to accept the lowest reasonable bid. As someone who works in the public sector, trust me, we try to get the money to people we know will do a good job. We have to work with the shit we buy every day. We want it to be good. There's just a lot of people willing to put in maximum of effort on a bid and minimal effort on execution.

> Also, for real, this bug is not that bad. It's obviously a bug you'd rather not have. But no user data is lost.

I mean, kind of. I agree it's not as bad as the article implies. However, it's a pretty common pattern to download a zip file, extract and overwrite, and then throw out the zip file. It's not directly resulting in data loss, but a very common user pattern will result in data loss when you encounter this bug.

This motivated me to reread the commons clause again. I remain so disappointed in the naming and positioning of it. If you want to sell commercial modules that is totaly fine, but Apache 2 with commons doesn’t jump off the page as an unfree license (which prima facia it is). Should be called the ‘free for personal use’ email us for pricing clause instead.

It's not a talk about technology, but it's a talk on people _in_ technology. As an open source enthusiast, I found the discussion very important, especially in context where we easily tend to be distracted by technical details.
Juicero was an overpriced juicer. The people who bought it still got the machine and the juice - albeit DRM juice that could be squeezed by hand. There is zero fraud, just an overhyped product.

Theranos made fraudulent claims about their product, pressured themselves into the health care market, and violated hundreds of ethical guidelines. Not only were investors defrauded (oh well, its only money) - people used them in clinical scenarios and impacted actual healthcare patients. When people questioned these claims, the CEO publicly claimed criticism of her was sexist, and the media was complicit.

These two scenarios are vastly different.

There is some important difference, because the current lingua franca is English, so anyone that is not an English native speaker must study English sooner or later. [Hi from Argentina!]

It would be interesting to compare the rate of the US with the rate of the UK to have a comparison of the social interest in learning another language that is not overshadowed by the effect of the native language.
Please consider buying an iPhone and some iCloud storage. Doesn’t have to be new, could be an older refurb model. I’ve never had an iPhone backup present itself as inaccessible. I’ve never not been able to get access to my iCloud data when my phone has failed. And when in dire need of support, I can walk into an Apple store and most likely get the issue resolved in one visit.

This isn’t about which platform is better; this is about who you can get support from when things go south, and it’s fairly obvious Google support of any kind is useless.
Before the fake review epidemic, buying on Amazon meant I didn't have to drive out for an hour or longer and instead spend time on other things.
SHE BON: Sensing the Sensual
Forgive me if my reading is off, but it sounds to me like one of your current stumbling points is "inner game".

Reading between the lines a little, you seem to beat yourself up or go within yourself in response to failure. This is a common trait with perfectionists, who often want to feel like they are without flaws before they open themselves to the world.

I'm basing this on this post and the post you linked to about imposter syndrome, although that post appears to be from another user.

If my description seems accurate, I would recommend dealing with anxiety/perfectionism/self-esteem first by learning about it. If you want, throw up an anonymous website that tracks your journey. Self-help is certainly a profitable market. Developer self-help might be an interesting niche.

Without being centered enough to weather failure with grace, you're going to have a hard time being a successful entrepreneur. Once you have it worked out, you'll be a different person with a better sense of who you are and what your strengths are. And then you'll be in a stronger position to build a product that really connects to people.
It might be used as a starting point for negotiation with private insurers.

Unlike Theranos which had a lot of non-VC investors uBeam had some of the best. Sound travels in a wave and energy would dissipates exponentially with distance. It made no sense to me how this would work or why these investors got behind this. Insight would be appreciated.
Coke* - that's an unfortunate typo
Most products sold on eBay / amazon are too simple for detailed seller ratings to matter. The usefulness of a 5 star review system is far higher when there is a wide and fairly continuous spectrum of expected performance (food, airbnb) compared to a binary choice between "something this simple really shouldn't break so easily" and "it works fine".
I doubt browser vendors can "fix" things for the more complex media types, because they tend to have no straightforward answer.

What you tend to see with video games is that people appreciate games that have a lot of configuration and control options. That let's the user figure out something that works for them. Unfortunately, that's not going to be expressible with some metadata like HTML attributes.

Indeed. Additionally, not take anything away from the Ruby counter part, the Python project is amazing and we use it in production. I really prefer the endpoint and viewmethod declaration methods in Falcon over Flask

# In this example, I use blueprint plugin
@bp.route('/', methods=['PUT'])
def create_resource():
return

vs

class Resource(...):
def on_put(self, request, response):
return

Mirror: https://pastebin.com/50W8TJV2

Flask's hooking logic [1] is nice but I much prefer Falcon's middleware logic [2]. This then ties into the fact that Flask's design requires working with `g` [3] (essentially a global object) where as the middleware design leads us to bake in data in the request object. The example blow demonstrates how middleware definition works and how "adding data" per request works in both of these frameworks.

# Flask; assuume `app` exists
from flask import g
@app.before_request
def before_request():
g.some_variable = 'foobar'

vs

class ExampleComponent(object):
def process_request(self, req, resp):
req.some_variable = 'foobar'

Mirror: https://pastebin.com/Z3yGCfzF

Additionally, Falcon middleware API also exposes `process_resource` which is similar to above but also allows us to _pass_ arguments to the routed resource instance.

Fake reviews are just another form of marketing, like traditional junk mail. Making mail spammers pay postage doesn't seem to have changed the fact that most of the snail mail I get is junk, even in the digital age. Charge reviewers a quarter or a dollar to leave a review. If I was passionate enough -- one way or the other -- to leave a review, I'd pay it! I'll bet it would squelch the fake reviews overnight. Just tune the charge to find an acceptable signal-to-noise ratio.
Stack Overflow has always been good to me, if:

- I detail my previous attempts

- I talk about what I think is wrong, or admit that I have no idea

- Check out the documentation before, fix small syntax issues

- Provide minimal code, or additional code to provide context if its a specific problem-related issue

- Link to any other relevant issues, on GitHub or elsewhere

Basically, the more effort I put into my question, the more SO gives back.
Couple of things Id love to clarify:

1. Why do you need to be an entrepreneur? If your day job is exhausting have you tried changing jobs to a more balanced work place? If it is a matter of skill/expertise have you tried investing in upskilling yourself?

2. If you dont think you are a good developer (imposter syndrome or otherwise) what makes you think you would be a good entrepreneur? I am not saying being a good dev is the only prerequisite but if you are going into be in some kind of software startup space there will be a lot of coding/dev ops/engineering/debugging/prototyping across the stack. I hope you were not looking to be a biz-guy-looking-for-a-coder.

Now despite the above if you truly truly want to be an entrepreneur (and revel in #struggleporn as suggested in another thread) try the following (YMMV):

1. Take a vacation and just unwind without thinking about work.
Given your 7 years of experience I am assuming you are young and have less number of "responsibilities" and I am assuming you are living in Europe (from your donation currency) so you may not have to depend on employment for basics like health insurance.

2. If you can afford to take time off (say for 6 months) go on a reading/learning spree without actually working on potential ideas. You will be amazed at realizing that the things you dont know are not magical (they are just unknown and vast) and be pleasantly surprised at how each fibre of knowledge builds N^2 connections between your other threads of knowledge.

3. Build relationships with people in different areas outside of your immediate interest/work. Again do this purely for learning rather than hoping to turn it into a business venture.

The common thread across the above three is you are letting your brain do some garbage collection which is a powerful way to put it to good use in the future.
The sticker price is negotiating leverage for use against organisations with money, the insurance companies and Medicaid and Medicare. They don’t pay the sticker price either but they come much closer because they’re price insensitive. All costs get passed on, on average to the actuarial customer.

Calling for quotes is how buyers (patients) force prices down in the long run.

For example, I got a quote this summer for an outpatient MRI that was 20% the cost of a hospital MRI, faster, and would accomplish the same thing. Now I tell everyone I know about this. If enough people do this, the hospital will not be as free to increase the cost and might even lower it (or at least start providing quotes!)

This price-shopping process is slowed by all the shenanigans that keep prices and services provided confusing, and demand to improve this is hampered by insistence that patients are never in a state of mind to shop for the best healthcare provider. It’s simply untrue—and there are workarounds in the worst cases like healthcare POAs and family members donating time.
Interesting! Thanks for proposing a full “Finnish version”!
To be fair they were totally right that going to war would be a terrible idea but they did it anyway - given that World War 1 pretty much killed off the ruling aristocracy, lead to countless suffering, and stagnation. If they were smart it would have prevented the war but as Bismark predicted it all blew up over a fool thing in the Balkans.

It is like MAD - the assumptions are based upon rational actors which is why they are terrified of proliferation beyond just others getting in their clubhouse.
