I'd recommend both. For example, social media is a good place to do retargeting because people spend so much time on it. Usually after you've warmed up potential customers either on FB channels or outside. Also, Facebook owns a lot of mobile engagement, which is pretty huge.
Eh, go for it?

My place began with a few people out of the local university and an angel investor. There was organic growth and an actual profit. The exit was a company of about 40 people being sold ($36.4 million in 2019 dollars) to a large defense contractor. That's in Melbourne, Florida.

There are several start-ups in the area created by former employees, generally beginning on personal funds.

This also works in Longmont, Colorado. I have a relative who did a couple businesses starting from personal funds. One sold for millions of dollars, and the other is ongoing with decent success.

"Exists in both states" is a very misleading description of how quantum states work. I wish introductory texts didn't use that phrasing (or "superposition", for that matter).

A photon can have one of an infinity of polarizations. These states are describable as a mixture of any two orthogonal polarizations (a "basis"), such as "horizontal" and "vertical". "Left circular" and "right circular" are another choice.

The funny thing happens when you measure "how much" a photon is polarized into any given orientation. It appears as being polarized either in that orientation, or in the polarization complementary to what you measured. E.g., horizontal or vertical. The outcome is determined with a probability based on the actual polarization of the photon prior to your measurement. Then – the funny thing – the photon takes on that polarization. Repeated measurement using the same basis gives the same results. Measure again with a different basis, and the game starts over again.

You can see this in the macro world with a laptop screen and two pairs of polarizing sunglasses. Using one pair of sunglasses, you should be able to block the light from the screen entirely – you are holding them perpendicular to the polarization of the screen. Place the second pair in between the first and the screen, and rotate it. At certain orientations, you will be able to see the screen! The second pair (nearest the screen) is diagonally polarized, and will "convert" the light from the screen into that polarization, before it reaches the first pair (furthest from the screen), which is orthogonal to the screen only.

(Note: Things change completely once a second photon enters the picture. It can be entangled with the first, and their states are no longer independently describable. Measurement of one affects the pair.)
I'm on the side that this is a non-issue, but, experimentally the market (especially if they expand beyond coffee) is larger than you think. People absolutely pay for home delivery of groceries. People absolutely pay for delivery when they could just drive/walk/bike/whatever. People pay >$100/year for Amazon Prime when they could just go to the corner store or Wal-Mart or Target. People pay for meal kits when they could go to the grocery store and pick out vegetables themselves.

I myself usually do the latter, but there's definitely a market for people doing the former. Also, don't forget the people who are busy with multiple jobs or families or long commutes; I can go to the store and chit chat because I'm in my 20s and single, but not everyone finds that a worthwhile experience.

(Also, as a coffee drinker, usually I want a good brand of coffee I know I like over serendipity, anyway.)
I just re-ran this with a total += hash(). It adds about 2 - 4 cycles to the throughput test (the non-latency graph).

We address all three of these issues you discussed at Blockstack:

1. Limited scalability and latency.

While latency is an issue, it is only an issue if you rely on all data and transactions to be on the Blockchain. At Blockstack, we register domains and identities using the blockchain and allay the majority of priority associated with these issues by solving the following two issues:

2. Limited privacy

We enable users to have their own data stores to whitelist app developers to write data to their own data stores, so users can then choose to render their photos, blogs, or what have you to the app developers, but they can then revoke access and own their photos, and render them to instagram version 3 persay to another app developer using the Blockstack API, and API that takes care of the complexities of interacting with user identity authentication and user data store, so the web developers can use javascript or whatever other web languages they are comfortable with to access user identity and the data for their applications, leaving users in control of their identity and their data.

3. Storage constraints

Storage constraints are significant if you rely on the blockchain to store all of the data in an application, but this is unnecessary if the user owns their data, and the identity that is proves they own their data is stored on the blockchain. The constraints of the data is truly decentralised by the user, where the user also owns their own data, contributing the alleviation of the privacy issue above. The only thing that is not private is their identity, making it hard to compromise.

4. Unsustainable consensus is a broad term that implies democracy is expensive because it requires computers to verify that things happened. While the old and outdated argument that bitcoin is energy expensive does prey on peoples conscious, it handwaves away the fact that most of the countries this bitcoin energy usage ranks above are third world countries where citizens not only do not really have access to computers or modern technology, but many of them democracy or human rights in general. I am glad that the consensus mechanism behind bitcoin does not rank below countries where humans have no access to technology or democracy.

In regards to the expense, ASICS are becoming more energy efficient, just like most computers are more energy efficient than they were 30 years ago.

How much energy do Facebook and google data centers use? Do you tell people they are killing the trees every time they check their facebook? Do you even know how much energy facebook data centers consume? To what purpose anyways? You wouldn't know.

Indeed, there are scattered start-ups everywhere. The university in my town is a major center for biology research, and has resulted in formation of a number of businesses, some of which have grown to respectable size. We have Epic.

But still nothing at a level to suggest the tide turning away from the big coastal cities.
I have been eagerly waiting for this ever since I saw Chris McCord's demo. Having this become tightly integrated into the Phoenix framework will be game changing.

I think there are a large number of use cases for which this completely obviates the need to build a SPA. That's a huge time savings, and also makes for a faster cycle time as an app gets iterated upon/redesigned. The cost implications are massive.

In many circumstances I think it will also be a better user experience than a SPA -- e.g. this avoids "cold start" performance issues for a user's first page.

Thanks for the hard work Chris, José & team. Elixir & Phoenix are a joy to use while also being incredibly powerful/productive.

>They didn't always own the market.

Before they owned the market they were new and trying to win customers. Exclusivity agreements tend to happen when a previously dominant player starts to lose market share, not when a company is still in a growth phase.

>I mean precisely that, more than literally anyone else selling games anywhere at all.

That's like praising Windows PCs for having the best Antivirus software in 1997. I mean yeah you're not wrong but...

Most of Steam's competition are stores from publishers with small catalogs that don't need the kind of discovery mechanisms that Steam does. GOG is has a much smaller curated selection so they same thing applies. Itch has a large catalog, but they are so small that they can't even be considered a competitor because of the network effects in Steam's favor.

>Um... what? I can't say it is really great because hypothetically it could be worse?

That sentence should have said "just because". You can't say it's objectively great just because it could be worse.

>I'm not going to give Epic a free pass just because they're not Steam

Who wants to give them a free pass? They'd probably be worse if they had a completely dominant market position the way Steam does. I don't want anyone to be completely dominant. I want competition. Their 30% cut and refusal to filter shovelware harms the industry because for 99% of indie devs, they completely control the market.
What you're referring to is known as a "hidden variable theory," (the photon does have some fixed polarization, but the value is hidden from us). This was argued about for decades, until tests of Bell's inequality (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem) essentially disproved hidden variables. Particles really can exist in a superposition of multiple states simultaneously, and it's not because of our lack of knowledge or our frame of reference. It's a delightfully strange result.
> it's both simply because it hasn't been measured ... Meaning it's either one or the other

A common misconception about quantum superposition is that the particle "has" some state, and we only use superposition to model that we "dont know". This is called the hidden-variable theory (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-variable_theory). It's been proven that this hidden variable theory can't be true because of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell%27s_theorem.

This is completely non-intuitive. See this video for a laymen's explanation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z-s3q9wlLag (you may also need to watch the prev. video about the EPR paradox https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HJK5tQIT4A).

You can get personalized medicine by going to your doctor regularly to discuss and set goals for your health. For many years I had the incorrect impression that you were only supposed to go to the doctor when you're sick. Humans are incredibly complex and sometimes they require maintenance in order to continue running optimally. For example, unless you have a great diet, which most people don't, it's unlikely you're getting all required nutrients and vitamins, which could manifest itself as all sorts of unexpected symptoms.

It can feel very frustrating to bring up a serious concern to your doctor only to have them dismiss it or to receive an ineffective treatment. But you shouldn't give up hope, they're really your best chance for success! If you feel like your concerns aren't being taken seriously then find a new doctor. Sometimes there's a list of possible treatments and you have to work your way through them until finding the one that's most effective; this can be incredibly annoying and demotivating, but it's incredibly important that you stick through it. Medical science is extremely complex and your doctor is doing their best to help you. Try writing down any symptoms or problems before your appointment; by providing as much information as possible to your healthcare provider you increase the chances that they'll be able to perform a successful diagnosis and treat your condition effectively.

If you have a medical condition then you should make it your responsibility to keep up with any and all related innovations and research. It's unrealistic to expect doctors to be on top of every single related change to what might be a fairly niche condition. Whenever you find something new or relevant you can bring it up to your doctor and discuss it with them.

I do wish there was a place to submit anecdotal data related to medical topics. You couldn't use the data to conclusively prove anything, but I'm sure it could help in identifying potential research topics of interest. It's entirely possible that there are communities or families which have accidentally discovered cures or treatments for conditions or symptoms which aren't widely known. A symptom could manifest itself very subtly and end up getting treated without anyone taking notice. For example: a spouse might notice that certain foods make their couple a bit short-tempered or grumpy so they start cooking those dishes less frequently. Perhaps by switching diets they avoid developing some terrible condition!
As long as culture treats celebrities and other self-serving persons like heroes, I think not. It's like taking down Confederate monuments. Obviously they inspire the wrong people, but ideally many more can be reminded to learn from the mistakes of history.

>they can decide to make the consumer price $10/month without actually losing any profit as Spotify would

What in the world does this really mean though? What do you mean "without losing any profit"? How do you know what Spotify vs. Apple Music operating costs are? Why should they have equal operating costs? I just don't get this exact part of the whole argument. So what if they undercut Spotify, maybe Spotify should take 30% less profit when they sell using Apple channels?
> is this true about the increasing downforce and if so, why is that so?

The regulations have changed this year so the teams can't use the same aerodynamic designs they had last year. The idea of the new aero regulations is that they will promote overtaking, but it also means the cars will lose downforce:

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.aero-changes-to-p...

They'll regain some (and maybe even all) of the lost downforce through new aero approaches that are allowed under the new regulations. The designs will be developed and refined as the season progresses.
