It's a stretch to say that it was not a political event. He makes blatantly political remarks during such interactions, such as:

> "I entered politics rather late. A lot of people are not able to accept it"

The inspirational stories he relates to children are based around how the BJP, his party, bounced back in his home state of Gujarat.

> He recalled how the Jana Sangh, the predecessor of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), lost all the seats in a Gujarat election. "They had 103 candidates. Whoever wanted to fight was given ticket. Out of 103, the security deposit of 99 was forfeited. "Four candidates survived. With their deposit money, they had a party and distributed sweets."

He also takes digs at opposition leaders by hinting that they are dyslexic (and implying that dyslexia entails mental retardation) when interacting with students who bring up dyslexia with him.

On top of this, the events are mandatory to attend. The punishment for not attending mandatory events in Indian schools goes beyond shaming. Students know they will lose every discretionary grade available to teachers if they push back.
Your "launch" isn't the beginning of the end of the process of of promoting your product. It's barely even the "end of the beginning." Eg, you don't just "launch" at a moment in time, and then sit back and wait for the money, drugs, fame, booze, chicks (or dudes, whatever), reporters, tv appearances, etc. to roll in. Once you launch, that's when the real work starts.

That said, if your launch plan was just "post on a couple of forums" then you're probably kinda doing it wrong. You need a coordinated plan to get your product in front of the people who need to see it. Unfortunately, by this point you should already have done the research necessary to figure out exactly what the optimal mechanisms to promote your product are. And that's what you should have done for the launch. Maybe that includes posting on those forums you mentioned, but that's probably not sufficient.

The thing is, you need to find out (preferably before you launch) who your customers are, where they are (eg, what forums they are on, what magazines they read, who they follow on Twitter, etc.), and how to reach them. You should already know who the key bloggers, analysts, and reporters are who cover your field, so you could let them know about your launch. You should probably already have an email list full of potential early adopters that you talked to during the Customer Discovery process, and mailing to that list should probably be a key part of the launch strategy. Likewise, you should have arrangements made to have key influencers blog, tweet, post on facebook, linkedin, instagram, etc., about your product launch.

And once you launch, you have to keep pouring fuel on the fire with emails, phone calls, guest blog posts, tweets, PR, and maybe paid advertising once you have product market fit.

I don't mean to sound negative if I do. I imagine you can still achieve your goals if you have a good product, but I think you probably still have a lot of work to do. The good news is, even if you wind up doing some of it "out of order" it may be sub-optimal, but it's probably not the Kiss of Death either.

My advice would be to read The Four Steps to the Epiphany and/or the follow-up The Startup Owner's Manual, and then watch all of the videos from the most recent Startup School session, and then start the Customer Discovery process from the beginning. Worst case, you can always release a new version with a few minor tweaks, and do a much more comprehensive launch around that new version in a few weeks, months, or however long it takes to figure everything out.

Programming is simple. Domains and interfaces are difficult. People over engineer stuff. People like to think they found the key to hidden wisdom. I believe I just summed up 90% of the difficulty with programming.

Just for the record procedural programming and functional programming are the only two styles of programming to me that make sense. Procedural because its how the machine model works and functional because its how a mathematical description of computation works. WTF is OOP (how the over active imagination of a child works I would reckon).

> or the regime remaining in power and China's head of state ascending to global dictator

Doubt it. To conquer the world these days, you'd have to have an anti-ICBM defense system that can stop thousands of nukes coming at you in every direction. The technological gap between the attacking country and the other one has to be absolutely massive for that too happen. I doubt the US with NATO would even risk that against north korea even with our massive technological advantage.

Edit: When I said "To conquer the world these days", i was referring to the original comment about one country becoming a "global dictator".

> You can have a capitalist economy with a non-democratic government.

It's possible, but vanishingly rare, outside the sense in which non-Leninist/Maoist socialists describe Leninist/Maoist regimes as “state capitalist”, but while there is a case that that is a legitimate label, it mostly relies on “state capitalism” being a different-but-related system to traditional capitalism (which one might label “private capitalism”.)

> China’s government isn’t very communist these days.

China’s economic system is more like the form of corporatism found in fascism (whether the political system is otherwise fascist is a discussion for a different time) than either communism or capitalism, though if one subscribed to the idea that traditional Leninist/Maoist systems are “state capitalism”, that form of corporatism could be seen as a hybrid capitalism that shares elements of both state and private capitalism, but again that requires a broader-than-standard definition of capitalism, where the standard definition is specifically private capitalism.

This is all running on normal servers. A service mesh is about communication.

If you're doing any kind of communication between components then that has to be facilitated somehow, and production requirements like security, retries, load-balancing, observability, etc have to live somewhere. A mesh just extracts it all into a single external system.
Usually this is graphics driver related, but there could definitely be some bugs that OP's unique usage triggers.
This may be a bit pedantic, but I don't like the framing "its 'timeframe' slows down" which is similar to an often used phrase "when you go close to the speed of light, your clock runs slower" because it gets the situation backwards and actually misses Einstein's key insight about relativity.

The issue is in your own frame (say if you're a muon or a person), unless you're accelerating, you're at rest with respect to your frame. Physics after Einstein's special relativity assigns to each reference frame a way to measure spatial differences and times (cute terms used in textbooks are rulers and a clock). Now, if another object is moving wrt you at a fast speed that you measure that is close to c, when you measure things that happen to it, it appears to happen slower as measured by your clock. So the reality is it appears slower to you in your frame. An good example of this is a particle like a muon will appear to have a longer lifetime if it were moving relativistically (near c). The converse is (sort of) true: for the moving object, in its frame, when accounting for the distances traveled, your clock also appears slower to it.

The reason framing it this way is important for me when I teach students is because it honors ones of the main points of special relativity that it did away with Newton's concept of a universal rest frame and made the important rest frame any inertial frame, and this helps demystify SR from being something esoteric but instead be based on simple logic: everyone is at rest in their own rest frame, so the physical laws in two frames moving respect to one another must be the same laws if you switch from one frame to the other. Since physics in any given rest frame seem to require light moves at c, certain other things must change in order to have both frames agree a light ray observed by both move at c.

I'm a New Zealander. I think our privacy commissioner is so totally wrong here. It's a hard technical problem to solve. It's an even harder political problem to solve.

Automatic censorship of live feeds, how do you do that?
Automatic take downs of videos doctored to avoid being removed, how to do you do that?

Then if you have these automatic systems in place how do you avoid getting accused of censoring everyone?

I don't think Facebook is a doing the world a lot of good. But this is silly. It just shows how little the commissioner has thought about the details of his comments.
What exchanges would you like to see added? Constantly working on new additions.
He's right, but I'm wondering if he's deliberately baiting them with the strong (but accurate) language. Do governments need any further excuses to seek to impose controls on companies like Facebook?
Can we fix the schools? (Maybe not.)
But taking "morally bankrupt" risks that backfire in PR down the road is (sometimes) a bad long-term finanical strategy.
Because this isn’t a Twitter rant from a random nobody; New Zealand’s privacy commissioner probably has regulatory authority (or at least influence) to force Facebook to change its behavior, at least in NZ. If he’s using language this strong that probably indicates a crackdown is coming.
> shamelessly exploitative of others' work and success

i.e. using open source under the published license? Look, I'd prefer that everyone using open software supports it with public patches, but if it's not under A/GPL or something, then clearly the authors weren't so worried about it. If you don't like others using your work without publishing their changes, use A/GPL. If you don't like others using your work without paying you, go with shared source (and accept that you're writing proprietary software) or use a noncommercial license or something. But don't publish something and then complain that people used it under the exact terms that you published it!
You say that, but Detroit is a pretty good counterexample. Tons of money / land just left to rust because it wasn't worth the effort. And that was just due to industrial changes not even something approaching a natural process.

If the ports not worth that much, the beaches (and tourism) has washed away, they've got a new sewage problem due to rising waters, and they can't get fresh water as easily, then what reason is there to rebuild? You need trade, fresh water, and waste removal to keep a city running, and for Miami, they're going to have problems with all three areas.
I don't see how a "Dog Bites Man" story like this keeps getting upvotes. It's entirely unsurprising that a company whose core goal is global 24/7 surveillance and monetization will tell every lie before reckoning with the consequences of their actions.
Facebook deserves to become a tech pariah. People should have turned against them during the predatory racial ad targeting scandal, or the depression scandal, or the Cambridge Analytica scandal. If broadcasting live murder is what it takes, so be it.

The Johnson books are really amazing looks into a uniquely American person. The Power Broker is amazing and overshadows the Johnson books. Robert Moses’s arc is like a real life Darth Vader.

It’s hard to like someone literally hiring folks to bring suitcases of corrupt money back to his home... but then again he was able to make civil rights a reality, in the face of the racist establishment that controlled the Senate.
Pretty spot on observation.
This is much more detailed than your original statement. Thank you.

I still think the number is likely nonzero (a word I chose to indicate it may not be a high number but it is not zero) and my earlier point is reenforced: they were forced into it by circumstance, and would have taken another path had it been on offer.

It was most certainly not a "peaceful death".

Edit: I will be honest, some of my reaction came emotionally from offense at the implication that theirs was somehow a "peaceful death" (your words). The USA Today piece you cited says it was officially called "homicide". That is accurate. Assisted suicide is a totally different thing.

This is not and has never been true and at this point the repetition is difficult to chalk up as anything but mendacity.

Given the speed of light is 299 792 458 meters per second and current measurements for the speed of gravity is between 2.55 × 10^8 and 3.81 × 10^8 meters-per-second.

Then over distance we would see the effects of gravity from objects that we have yet to see. For example our Sun, the light you see has taken about 8 minutes to reach you. Yet the effects of gravity from the sun reach in about 6 minutes. As we know, the sun in the scale of the universe is extremely close. Scale that difference over distance and minutes become days, weeks, years, centuries...

So when it comes to gravitational effects from unknown sources, may be that they are from sources that we won't see for a long long time in the future.
As an aside, is no one else bothered by the ubiquitous null/undefined checks? Almost every function implementation here is started with checking that the args are actually what is expected.

I get that typescript is only a compile time check and doesn't guarantee type correctness at runtime, but if I feel like there might be larger problems here to solve first if my function takes in type string and the first thing I have to do is make sure it's not null or undefined. If you legitimately expect either a string or null, there are proven ways to deal with this (Maybe/Optional).

I think I should do this. Send an email to several designers and ask their opinions. Honestly, it sounds scary, but I'll try.
