Working with AWS Limits
>> To summarize: in a traditional seed investment, the founder is giving up that which is not scarce, and which has a nominal value (stock) for that which is scarce and has immediate value as legal tender (cash). The consequence of this transaction is that he must also accept sharing some percentage of the cash that will come later if he or she is successful. However, at that later point, cash is much less scarce and has less value to the entrepreneur and the business than it had previously.

>> With a SEAL, things are quite different. The investor is providing the founder with cash when it is scarce, but their own access to cash (through payback) comes to this side of the non-linear payout of an acquisition or exit. This means that cash is still a scarce resource. While it is true that the founders themselves are also partaking in cash in the short term, it is because they are actively working on the business and creating more value than they are taking out in the form of cash.

This is just plain wrong. By binding the payback to profit (not revenue) and giving the entrepreneur a lot of flexibility in defining when to allow the (successful) business to become profitable, the investor will only have access to cash when it isn't scarce.

The author seems like a really competent person so, unless they have a bone to pick with the Earnest Capital team, I can't understand how/why they got this so wrong.
Here is my confusion: if the war against China is really about high tech dominance, and Huawei is a particular target because it just surpassed Apple for #2 spot, then why isn't action taken against Samsung instead which is at the #1 spot?

Samsung is not a Chinese company, so this seems to be about national competition and not tech "dominance".
I have no issue with that section except that I doubt it will be universally applied. Julianna would also usually not be used to describe a person that sacrificed families and friends for money only to die alone and rejected, or Julianna the cheap antagonist that is a one-sided character of pure evil with zero depth. Reversing gender roles is usually only fun as long it falls within current cultural accepted norms.

I wonder... Professor Schooler is a pretty high-profile scientist (https://scholar.google.co.uk/citations?user=3UEI9NIAAAAJ&hl=...). But I don't see any publications with Tam Hunt (who seems a little... eccentric? (https://www.collective-evolution.com/2018/03/21/carl-jungs-s...). I wonder if this is just some guy who has managed to get 'visitor status' at UCSB and is taking an unwitting scientist's work out of context? In what sense is he a 'colleague'?

I've recently had to cash checks without having my own bank account for a couple of months. The experience left me hating the banking industry. Certain banks won't even cash their own checks anymore! Other banks will cash their checks but want to take a $10(+-) fee for the privilege.

I ended up using Walmart to cash a check (the ones which weren't hand-written because Walmart won't do that) and using their moneycard as my debit/credit card for payments. This system worked reasonably well, but I do not want to go back to it.

I guess my point is we're talking about unconscious bias, and your story seems like it could be an example of just that. If it's unconscious you wouldn't know -- we can assume something is racist that really isn't.

If we can't know, how can we approach these situations and be sure we're without bias; particularly if we want to call others out for their [apparent] unwarranted biases.

An example, a neighbour is a bit discomfiting to me, my wife refuses to be alone in his presence, but he's Polish; so is she xenophobic, or is he a jerk (or both I guess). He's the only Pole in our street, an outside observer could easily conclude she was being xenophobic.

> if you literally do not care at all whether anyone else reads this or finds it useful, you wouldn't bother publishing it

Remember the diaries (I wonder when they gained popularity? in the 18th century? in the 19th? surely they've been with us longer than that). They could be read by others, and indeed there was a tradition for young lovers to give each other their diaries to read, but they were (or were supposed to be) written primarily for those who wrote them.

Same for laboratory logs (or other professional logs; I am not sure who kept them besides sea captains). They could be read by others, and might be informative to others, but were written primarily for the writer himself.

As for publishing, web publishing is so easy and makes the writing so accessible it's arguably easier to "publish" your writings on your web site than to keep them in a notebook in a drawer.

The top-level post of this thread argues that the problem Amp solves is that it makes it impossible to add bloat, and that the mere possibility of adding bloat to your website means that it'll happen.

Now, I don't know whether that's true, but supposing that it's, the post you're responding to raises an important point. If AMP doesn't inherently limit bloat, maybe it's only a matter of time before AMP pages are all bloated crap.

> two people can just about fit

if you're the one with the 15", and the person near it's a 12" or 10", there's enough room. lots of people will be satisfied with 12" so if you're the 15" you'll be in the win. get a 12" if you want room in trains, probably. 14" is a weird compromise. you either need a proper office or table or you don't. and 17" will always be rare enough that 2 people with 17" landing on the same table will never happen. I mean, you get a 17" inch machine especially so you can beam a "fuck off, keep the distance" to people around you... :P

The view he expressed which you vilify him for is not wrong. He simply said there is no reason to expect two different population groups that evolved in different circumstances to have identical mental capabilities. You may dislike it, but the simple fact is we have isolated dozens of genes that are responsible for a significant portion of the racial IQ difference. His view is not wrong, it is correct.
Too bad philosophy isn't actual science

Perhaps, then, the point is to annoy people and challenge their assumptions - if they are so annoyed to see it, perhaps this will in the more thoughtfully inclined people make them question why they find it so annoying.

I remember being so enthusiastic about Android development and then the iPhone came along and was just 10 years ahead.
I originally had two reasons why I bought Sublime. The primary one was that it felt like Vim with everything configured out of the box. Another reason was that ST2 had long outstanding bugs that were already fixed in the ST3 development version, which was made available to paying customers only, and it felt like a good idea to support the development.

Then came 2014 and it started to look like the Sublime developer had taken a hiatus. The timing was really bad as ST2 still had showstopper issues (for me) that were fixed in ST3, which in turn had another bunch of unfixed bugs. Meanwhile Atom was released and it got its bug fixes and new features regularly, even though it was and still is really slow. I had to choose between two borderline unusable and one functioning but heavy editor. With a heavy heart I had to abandon an editor that I had valued at 70 dollars, which at that time was also the largest sum I had ever paid for software.

As soon as VS Code started to gain traction, I made the switch. For some reason it felt and still feels much snappier, even though both Atom and it are built on Electron and have approximately the same features.

You're absolutely right. The big issue (for me, at least), is that it's a security nightmare. At least last I used it. It seemed there were security exploits popping up every day. Either from the core codebase, or from some random plugin everyone seemed to be using. I think that was just the nature of how their plugin system works? I'm not sure if anything's changed, but _maintaining_ a WordPress install is not fun and requires constant - almost tiring - oversight.
The famous photo of the Tank man from Tianamen square is shown in the article, and it's the most common view. But, it doesn't convey very well what the person must have seen. Standing up to a handful of tanks must require guts of steel, but standing up to a battalion of tanks is surreal.

The single biggest advantage of Chrome is that it's bundled as the default, non-removable browser on the largest mobile OS in the world: Android. And nearly all those people then expect to use the same browser on laptops and desktops and even here it is often pre-installed by OEM.

If Firefox had somehow had this clinching advantage in an alternate reality, they would be the Chrome now. The actual performance and technical differences between the two browsers are by no stretch of imagination deal-breaking. But Google's marketing and bundling has been decisive.

I just hope Mozilla doesn't abandon Gecko but sticks this fight out.

Or don't, and you'd never have the problem in the first place. The problem with bloat IMO is that clients at all support it. Thankfully there are a lot of browser extensions for generous content blocking that can make the user experience passable.

If only more were sanely tech agnostic. I feel the same way, I try to use JetBrains tools if possible, if low on memory, then Sublime, VIM or Emacs (Somewhat Nano / ne) work for me.
The number of times I open a news article (local/regional seems to be the worst) on my phone, start reading the article, and then 10-15 seconds later have the whole thing go blank, reflow, and start me back at the top of the page... I haven't spent any time investigating what actually causes it, whether it's a stylesheet or a big JS module or what, but it's absolutely enraging. I'm just reading what could be plain text content, and that flow gets horribly interrupted.

I'm really torn on AMP to be honest. I'm morally and technically opposed to it, but... the experience is often dramatically better than what I would have gotten without it.

I've recently started to become a little disappointed by Python when I tried to add multithreading code to my application. It turns out that Python does not support full multithreading because threads are still tightly coupled to eachother through a global lock, which can lead to performance issues, often in unexpected situations. Now, to mitigate this, the Python people have created a multiprocessing module, which effectively lets you run CPU-intensive tasks in a different process, so you get true multiprocessing. But the downside is that all communication with these processes has to happen through a message-queue or shared-memory interface, which is ... tedious and requires a lot of rewriting.

Materialism, the scientific doctrine that describes the world as a machine of particles, is a fairly new way to think about the universe, 16th century. It's been very successful in producing machines, repeatable machines. But it's not the only way to think about how the universe is organized.

Rupert Sheldrake is a very interesting scientist who's re-introducing an much older model for how the universe is organized, called panpsyicism, where all matter is considered conscience. Conscience is defined as having a probabilistic future,and maybe being able to make choices about that future. He has some other interesting hypotheses that build on top of this, such as morphic resonance as which is like a memory for conscience. He doesnt expect materialist science to be able to explain the forms of plants, believing that DNA is not going to be able to account for how the plant is shaped. I find that a very interesting idea, that there we are something more then our DNA

BARBARIANS AT THE GATE the France Nobody (in America) Wants to Know
WordPress is very nice until you hit a niche problem: the media library has a lot of hooks that are not applied on the backend (and the media library itself is seriously dated); the XML library that can't handle a newline before <xml; while there are option for custom comment types, it's not actually supported; the REST API is a gigantic security hole; no database abstraction layer; etc.

I'm having high hopes for the ClassicPress fork to eliminate these bumps, but the future of WordPress.org will be interesting, especially that gutenberg breaks backwards compatibility, which breaks a lot of plugins, meaning you either go Classic Editor and your plugins, or Gutenberg and, maybe, some of your plugins.
