What do US schoolteachers assigning The Diary of Anne Frank say about it, these days? When I was in middle school you could say things like "concentration camps are bad" and "hiding persecuted people in your attic is good" without much fear of controversy, and also without much fear of applicability to the present day. Are they still saying that?
There'll always be examples to the contrary, but usually that’s a problem of not providing enough value.

Think about how much crappy software there is out there that people use because it does something they need.

If “not having bugs” is literally your only moat, there were always bigger problems
NAT is not meant for security. It just unintentionally provides some by preventing inbound connections.

That's something you can circumvent in certain scenarios. The technique is called "NAT hole punching".
You could have said the same about Iraq in 2003.
Clever - but let's put a fine point on it, shall we?

The "right" conditions have typically been under Democrat party rule.

This is the party of the Trail of Tears.

This is the party that defended slavery (in both north and south). Even killing Abraham Lincoln when their cause was lost.

This is the party of the KKK and of Jim Crow. Heck, the last KKK member of Congress, Rober Byrd, who was a recruiter for the KKK, just passed away a few years ago. Obama said the eulogy at his funeral. Hillary Clinton said he was a "friend and mentor".

This is the party of segregation. Woodrow Wilson actually resegregated the federal government, ending the careers of non-white civil servants. He promoted "The Birth of a Nation" by having it be the 1st film shown at the White House.

And, of course, the party that brought us these internment camps.
One trait most successful founders have is not being overly analytical. This correlate with higher education as well, the higher, the more analytical. Creating a successful startup is basically a lottery and it almost does not matter what idea you come up with. In this metaphor, smart and analytical people will not buy a lottery ticket because the cost vs the chance to win is just too small. But if you don't buy a lottery ticket you most certainly cannot win the lottery.

That's true, but it also gives plausible deniability to accidentally taped evidence (e.g. mic left on before/after a press conference). The person making the newsworthy statement, could always claim it is a deep fake.

Of course, if reliable sources were present at the occasion, they could jointly sign a recording, but under other circumstances it could be fake.

Another potential problem is producing fake confessions in e.g. criminal cases. The person who allegedly confesses would not sign the recordings, an the police's signatures are worthless if they are fabricated.

It's not impossible, just increasingly expensive. Modern software practices tend move a lot of the things that used to be done at compile time to initialization time or runtime. A lot of modern tooling is built around that idea. You gain a lot programmer productivity in exchange for increased memory usage, startup time and battery drain. Is that worth it? The market seems to says yes. As much as people complain about the battery life of their devices, in aggregate, they prefer apps with even the slightest usability improvements over apps with great performance. In the battle of delivering more tiny little features, programmer productivity trumps all other concerns.
No one seriously believes the recent UFO nonsense is actually aliens, except for a clueless representative in congress that keeps pushing for these reports.

The answer is usually in the error. Many languages (compilers whatever) are really good at telling you exactly what is wrong. When things go wrong without an error is where the detective work really gets going.

I was surprised to learn that some beginning devs don't know how to interpret an error message or use it for finding a solution. Errors are your best friend when it comes to the unforgiving nature of software development.

Greece and Ireland (and I think Italy) don't have nuclear either.

More difficult it may be, but no excuse for dragging feet or voting against EU action. Action that's far too little and too vague anyway. If it's any consolation I am equally critical of my own country's dire lack of adequate progress.
Base load is an outdated concept that will become less and less relevant. Nuclear energy is unsuitable as a complement to renewable energy because it takes on the order of days to start or shut down a nuclear power plant. The key requirement is dispatchable generation, which in the short term means natural gas, and in the long term various forms of energy storage.

Nuclear is acceptable as a stop-gap technology until generation is fully switched to renewables, but its days are numbered.

What if I take bug to mean what it means?

> A software bug is an error, flaw, failure or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways.

90% churn out rate is not a software bug...

If you mean there was a software bug that was causing that, it sounds like they had a bug that was completely preventing them from providing value.

It’s a given your product needs to be able to provide some sort of value.

My point is people place much more emphasis on provided value and utility over frustration from bugs

Well, we are close to wind being cheaper than just the steam turbine generators. At that point, your heat can be free, and it's still cheaper to use wind.

concrete metaphor. I have zero evidence on Amazon's business practices being directly related to deforestation.

having said that, Bezos, as the worlds richest man, is in a huge position to do something about the environmental catastrophe we are bringing upon ourselves, and so far he's appearing preoccupied with gaining the US military machine as his biggest client.

He appears to have put literally no effort into changing businesses practices in the slightest, with regards to packaging, delivery means, etc

I had the same question and a hunch it would be Go. The old 2017 thread has the answer and indeed, it’s Go.
I mean, take it to it’s logical extreme, I make an app that does X, but every time you start it, it crashes.

I doubt it’s going to be long before my product fails, bugs are affecting the value users derive from it to an extreme degree, past what they can overlook.

I honestly can’t even think of a real-world example off the top of my head though.

But that’s probably just a testament to how badly you need to screw up for bugs to be the actual reason a product fails, and not some external factor that’s possibly exacerbated by bugginess

I meant no disrespect. I’m pretty country myself and I don’t think redneck is derogatory. In fact a lot of country folk are proud to call themselves rednecks.

Energy usage on MacOS is another problem, especially compared to safari.

I am using safari for a while now, but every now and then you just have to admit chrome does some things much better, like tab management and the dev tools are more user friendly. Which, i realize, is the case for firefox btw. Ff tab management and dev tools are quite nice.

Yet at the same time the police manages to identify, process and charge said protestors just fine but seems to be absolutely incapable of doing anything about literal nazis openly performing illegal salutes and calling for violence, even if they have it on tape and have police officers present and witnessing.

There's a reason Germans left of center have a disdain for the police and it's obvious why that tends to escalate.

If you're okay with police officers injuring themselves while violently suppressing protestors being counted as "injured by protestors" you should also be fine with the police being held to the same standards. Somehow even if someone dies in police custody the investigations never amount to anything though, and the government is okay with that because the police investigated itself and said the police isn't doing anything wrong.

I love what you are doing. As in love. I wrote a whole essay on the postive and negative side of age (both old and young) in context of finding problems to solve for startups.

As a 45 year old I solved it by starting my own company and using that to my strength.

However I would caution against using the mcKinsey report as any kind of evidence or guide for thinking about diversity.

It's the same claims we see when it comes to gender too.

The reality is that there are no studies showing that in general companies who were not diverse and then decided to be more diverse by some of those mentioned metrics were suddenly performing better.

A much more likely interpretation is that companies who are doing well financially tend to be able to care more about ex diversity.

You could literally have a team of 20 old female/male geezers be just as diverse as a team with the most mixed combination of ages, genders and ethnic groups you could find.

What matters in my experience is what kind of diversity we are talking about and how it's used, not just whether there is diversity.

What matters is the market and that it allows for diversity itself.

You could have a team of only 20 year olds and you can have a team of +45 year olds and they would both offer something different to the market.

I don't think you even need to worry about that part to be honest.

The benefits of age are enough:

More experience, better ability in general to prioritize, focused on their work, less likely to work themselves too hard, more stability, less likely to switch jobs for the next great opportunity etc.
But then apps cost pennies compared to the software we were used to. Office cost many hundreds of dollars and I regularly paid £400+ for PC programs that did just one thing. £350 for Photoshop was a steal.

But then apps came along costing a small handful of dollars. They also did things you could not do on your PC due to the connectivity, the camera and the sensors. Everything changed when it came to price expectations.

>It is sufficient to gain access to any root certificate, or to know a person at a CA that can issue certificates, or to be able to manipulate the domain's nameserver, or to take over the server pointed to by the domain's A record, or to redirect traffic to that server to a middleman at the ISP level, in order to issue a perfectly valid, HSTS-accepted certificate.

But every connection you're intercepting, you're providing airtight evidence that a misissuance occured (the certificate). It's only a matter of time until you're caught. With certificate transparency, it's broadcast to everyone in the world.

So yes, nation states can bypass pki pretty easily, but it's only feasible for targeted attacks. That's better than the status quo of dragnet surveillance.

Yes, but to many, it might sound like injuries due to protestors attacking them.

Can't that second sentiment be said about almost all products?

I don't actively think "Wow I'm using an X product" until it breaks or fails, and that's the same with any brand not just windows. How can the Blue screen/ransomware be "too strong" if Microsoft is consistently in the top 5 most trusted brands?

There are two contradictory things about Macers:

(1) They hate macs. They are always complaining about their computers, about how they waste time hanging around the "genius" bar. (e.g. maybe it is not smart to do!)

(2) They insist on buying macs no matter what and won't consider that you can get plastic computers, computers with good heat sinks, computers with more RAM, computers with NVIDIA graphics cards or AMD APUs, etc. if they just were willing to take their business elsewhere.
Did you read Martinez-Fuerte or just the Wikipedia page on it? If you haven't read the actual opinion, start there.
If a police officer is doing something illegal, you are not legally required to comply. Also, Germany in theory has pretty strict laws about what is considered an appropriate level of force (which is why you're considerably less likely to see a German police officer reach for their gun because even drawing the gun is considered a massive escalation and may require them to file paperwork later).

The objection to the reporting isn't that they weren't injured, it's that the numbers are used to portray protestors as violent even when the injuries were the direct result of police violence.

If I punch you in the face and break my hand, it's at least extremely misleading to report that as a fight in which both parties suffered injuries (mostly because "fight" implies you fought back).
How do you make the jump from (or, further yet, justify) the use of ridiculous definitions of officer injury, to police funding and police constraint problems or occurrence of violent clashes? Adverse conditions invite malpractice, but doesn't make it justifiable.

Actually, on second read, you're not really justifying one with the other, you're just saying that you sympathize with the German police, which according to you has it bad, and you think that deceptive Police reports are thus tolerable.

To be clear, I'm not providing insight into the main discussion, just saying that your post doesn't read well.
I've heard that, too. But I've never bought into it. Maybe I'm naive, but it seems to me that giving up any equity when you don't need to is unwise. As far as easier and cheaper, I have not seen costlier terms sheets due to need. Easier... maybe, if you are doing so well that it is a no-brainer to want to be part of it. But then it gets back to the point of giving up equity when there is no need.
No, the reason is rather that Germany, due to its central location, imports and exports a lot of energy.

The net imports from France are dwarfed by net exports to the other neighboring countries, the sum of which is about 6-7 times as large.

.... Which has nothing to do with my initial argument, but is actually still wrong. Just looking at the inner Chinese market, there are way less regulations to a point where competition between companies is much stronger, almost ruthless, which ironically can be considered more capitalist than our overly regulated markets. But I understand that you're exactly the kind of person outlined in my original comment, just not wanting to see it and trying to invalidate the enemy in any way possible, as if that makes the problem go away. every county has at some point "stolen" technology from another, more or less directly supported by their government. But that doesn't change the situation we're in now.
I see a lot of businesses that don’t create value, like Uber, or even destroy value in multiple senses, like Uber, that go relatively unpunished by markets and create huge financial windfalls for executives, investors and some employees. Similar things have happened with some cryptocurrencies.

Often a business is run solely to generate enough hype to externalize losses onto an acquirer or public retail traders or unwitting retirement plan holders, while creating space for personal profit for a small set of people.

It isn't your modern Democrats who are flying the confederate flag and defending statues of the lazy racist pricks who would rather enslave other people than bother to do their own damn work, now is it?

One thing to note is that the Republican Party originated from the Whigs, and the term Whig is essentially synonymous with identifying as politically liberal. So, on this side of the pond, the Whigs were the precursors to our current Liberal Democrats. So both your Democrats and your Republicans have had quite the political journey over the years.
