What type of app/product?

You need to let users know why the app will be useful to them, what they can use the app for, and why your app is better/easier/faster/cheaper than their current solution. Infographics, Youtube videos, examples, reviews and customer stories can help here.

Maybe add referral bonus (referrers earn a percentage of sale profits, entry in giveaway, or app credits/coupons per active referred user)?

If there is any community/forum/social network for your app's market (e.g. Bitcointalk for crypto) you can advertise there. Likewise you could ask your market what type of platform/app would help them, then add those features to your app.
You would be hard pressed to find economic evidence that immigration has negative results to an economy. It is always better to allow immigration for economic prosperity and the entire science of economics has validated this theoretically and pragmatically since 1776.

Moreover, the importation of labor happens every day every single time you use any manufacture or service produced outside, from software like Google/Facebook (it is partially imported) to manufactures like iphones and macs (it is also imported labor). You could arguably increase the salaries of american citizens by banning by penalty of death any kind of importation: but more dollars do not increase purchasing power.

Americans overpay software, doctors, lawyers, and many other professions because they are unwilling to allow free labor movement from those professions. You can however, import nannies with no limits from anywhere in the world. Talk about regulatory capture!
I see you are focusing too much on your own problem space where you need people ready to fix fires any time in the day and you need to ensure that you have people who can fix fires for years to come. In that environment you need replaceable cogs, then I agree that 10x engineers can't fill that role since you can't get a steady supply of them.

However in an environment where you are writing solid libraries which are not meant to break or change much and therefore wont need much maintenance the requirements are very different. Then it is better to have an extremely good team build a good solution once and then ship it and then mostly leave it alone.

Writing solid libraries is useful everywhere, since it can make work easier for the rest of the organization and such. Forcing people to only hire replaceable cogs and ignoring that some developers can be vastly more productive is therefore counter productive, even in organizations which mostly need replaceable cogs.
For context: RFC 8620 is the JMAP core, just published. It defines an RPC framework, an object synchronisation protocol, and miscellaneous other things like push channels. It has no data model associated with it, beyond handling blobs.

The JMAP mail spec, which is what most people will be more interested in, is awaiting final sign-off before publication as RFC 8621.

We’re using JMAP in production at Fastmail on our Fastmail and Topicbox products, right through the stack. Both of their web interfaces speak JMAP to the server. Unfortunately at this time it’s not ready for public use: definition of authentication technique is one thing that is deliberately left out of JMAP, and we’re currently using our own system which has no public documentation (and we don’t expose /.well-known/jmap yet either). The intrepid user may be able to figure it out, but we won’t be providing any support for it yet. We use the JMAP mail spec, the draft calendar and contacts specs, and a handful of our own specs for our own data types, also not publicly documented at this time.

JMAP is much more complex than the standard sort of simple REST API, but there is cause for all aspects of its complexity; the most notable complexity in it is its record state management, part of it being an object synchronisation protocol; an advantage of that is that robust offline support is feasible, even fairly straightforward. I’m looking forward to working on offline support in the Fastmail web app.

I personally think the increased complexity is well worth-while, and I have several products I’ve been sketching out and working on personally (completely unrelated to the world of email or to my employer Fastmail), and all the ones with any kind of client-server API I intend to build atop JMAP, because they’ll benefit heavily from it with respect to features like real-time interface updates and offline support (for web, desktop and command line programs).
> I find that it fits well with our use case.

What's your use case? Also, how difficult is it to create and maintain the API? I hear nothing but good things about it from the frontend people, but some of the backend people I've asked about it just mutter to themselves about increased complexity then run away. Which also makes me think I need to become friends with backend people who don't mutter to themselves, but one thing at a time.

Until very recently, I assumed the story was mostly apocryphal, but I happened to look it up about a year ago and learned that the actual Mel had been identified, and that there was even that picture. Really cool, considering I first saw the story of Mel in probably 1989.

I am not a marketer at all, but from what I know marketing is also about omnipresence so that when a customer will need a product they will choose the one they know, the one they have seen in the past, notably from advertising.

For example when Coca Cola have their brand on football matches, do you really think people are going to want to buy Coca Cola just because they saw the brand name?

Which means some companies might be interested in sending ads via BitBounce.
I understand a some can't afford to, I don't believe "most people" can't afford to. The other commenter said 25% of Brits haven't flown (according to the Telegraph).

Given you can get half way across the world without flying the total number of people who haven't left these isles should be a bit lower.
> I completely disagree that Stanley is a loser, to me he is a quintessential clueless. He’s working in the office, not the warehouse: he’s in middle management, so IMO he’s clueless by definition because he is part of the padding between the masters/sociopaths/bosses and the slaves/worker bees/losers.

Stanley isn't middle management, he's an aging sales guy who is too old to justify switching jobs; he's close to retirement, and the "run out the clock" quote in the article is spot on about it being his whole life at this point -- he's killing time until he retires.

He's a loser because he doesn't have the willingness or ability to be a ruthless sociopath -- why bother, he's out in 2 years or less -- and has no illusions about how the company feels about its employees.
Configuration File Htaccess
About the time dropbox limited me to 3 devices and obsoleted itself on half the OS's I needed it to shlep files to anyway, I relegated it to a docker container that also ties into Nextcloud and exports a samba share.

Its pretty much empty now, I just needed to maintain it for some folders I share with other users.

We've been on EA for years and the amount of complexity and shifting rules year by year is absurd. It is nearly impossible to stay in compliance. Even the companies who have "owned" our EA (partner responsible for managing it) are wrong frequently about licensing rules, later contradicted by Microsoft.

If you have a handful of licenses on a Select agreement, or O365 (I don't know, we dont use it) maybe it is simple. But a large enterprise customer? It's a fucking nightmare.

This advice is common (usually it’s pick one cloud, pick two at least is a bit more sensible) but I really am starting to wonder about it being marketing propaganda of its own.

In one breath we hear that only three software vendors (Google, Amazon, Microsoft .. maybe DO?) have software worth consuming, and all other software vendors that ship this stuff “abstracts” them is snake oil... MongoDB Enterprise... Confluent Kafka... Elastic Cloud Enteprise... Pivotal CF, Red Hat Openshift, Hashicorp Nomad / Terraform / Vault etc - all of these provide valuable software that runs on any cloud, and often has a multi cloud control plane (that’s increasingly Kubernetes based).

let’s never use any of that, and screw the whole software industry for the cloud vendors because their stuff isn’t just a proprietary veneer of automation around those products charged by the hour?

on another breath we are told that the cloud providers charge too much for their VMs. And we think they’re not charging too much for their proprietary services?

Firstly, Most “managed cloud services” are not “managed” in the traditional sense. They’re hosted, no different from Dreamhost or a bazillion other hosted offerings, often with similar tradeoffs. It’s a testament to cloud marketing that people believe there is something magical about Amazon RDS for your Postgres instance. It’s a nice automated setup of volume replicated active/passive Pgsql.

There are many, many other ways to do this with open source or proprietary software with varying degrees of automation - maybe you don’t care, that’s fine, but I’m not sure delta between running in a DC/colo vs the EC2 costs is worth it for some proprietary software bits by the cloud vendors. It’s not magic, it’s just software.

Similarly to say all abstractions are snake oil is fashionable but also hypocritical. Kubernetes is on fire lately because it is an abstraction for your work loads, a universal control plane, and universal cloud API. Is that snake oil? Serverless (the framework) makes developing on Lambda or other FaaS’ sane - is it too snake oil? Heroku or Cloud foundry lets you push your apps and not worry about the plumbing on EC2 or the cloud of your choice (even on a colo/DC!)

But most importantly: You’re not locked into lowest common denominator (what does that even mean?) with any of this - you can use any proprietary cloud service you want...the stuff you don’t care about - the VMs, network and storage - is the stuff abstracted (and usually all the proprietary knobs like Azure advanced networking or Google metadata/DNS are all available).

Where is the problem? Are Elastic Beanstalk or Google App Engine really superior economically and functionality wise?

Terraform is not about the different codebases, it’s about glue code in a standard language to assemble all these cloud services. Crossplane.io is trying to do this via Kubernetes CRDs. Would you rather use Cloud Formation and JSON, really?? I’ve seen some monster CF scripts - they’re hard to maintain and debug compared to TF.
The actual research: https://skylightcyber.com/2019/07/18/cylance-i-kill-you/

Actual summary, Cylance has a model that uses strings as a feature, and by taking all the strings from the whitelisted files and catting them onto the malware sample one can subvert the ensemble model completely.

It died for lack of interest, you can basically watch that happen at IETF 102 here:

TLS 1.3 was in some part an exercise in removing crap people thought might be a good idea in earlier versions, but then either never used or turned out to be a terrible idea but was notionally "optional" so you could say to keep using TLS but just disable that feature. So there is skepticism pre-existing in that room against the idea of just adding more stuff than might be cool unless it's clearly _needed_.

A feature that keeps six people in Kazakhstan (who happen to have manually pre-configured a PAKE) safe but everybody else is still screwed isn't the sort of impact TLS 1.3 was looking for.

Yeah using some code I found on github I was able to triangulate anyone’s location. Ended up using it to help confirm the identity of someone stalking a friend of mine (we were pretty sure we knew who it was and pinpointing them to the same location we knew he lived confirmed it). That was cool to play with but freaky to see “the grid” on a map laid out bare.
I can imagine the search teams response now...

"If your site has an XSS, then anyone can make any content appear on that domain... So why's it so bad if anyone can also make anything appear on the domain in Google Search? - we're just reflecting reality.

You didn’t mention all of the new features coming to HTTP 2 that will alleviate network performance issues (prefetch, multiplex connections, etc.)

I’ve found many sites that use frameworks like react to be much more user hostile, particularly from a performance and accessibility standpoint. The reddit redesign comes to mind. It’s so much slower now than it used to be on a browser (perhaps they’re intentionally doing this to push people to their mobile app), that it’s noticeably reduced the quality of the experience.

I guess I just don’t understand how people see page reloads with proper caching as unacceptable from a performance standpoint compared some JavaScript app maintaining a virtual DOM, which is also likely regularly communicating with a server.
In specific contexts such as this one you don't need arbitrarily complex JSON, you just need to validate that the JSON structure respects not just JSON itself but also the protocol specification at hand while you parse, and bail out when it doesn't, so you can have a dedicated, fast parser tailored for the use case, instead of first parsing general JSON then validate its content.

Anyway, for being a Fasmail user, JMAP rips IMAP to shreds in terms of performance. I've been following JMAP from afar and waiting for Fastmail to publish this for a long time.

Dropbox is two things: Cheap cloud file storage with an API, and a desktop app.

The desktop app used to be a glorified FUSE app that worked well (except on ARM Linux for some reason) and got out of your way. Now Dropbox has decided it's time to ruin the desktop app in an effort to chase conversions. This strategy will fail.

Fortunately their cloud storage backend still works (unless it bugs you that they just increased the price a little bit while doubling the storage). There are several third-party clients that seem to work as replacements for the Dropbox client app. I'll probably move to Expandrive, which now supports Linux (it didn't before). Other suggestions welcome.

Optional Is a Law-Breaking Monad but a Good Type
I spent a few months in Songdo visiting my in-laws (and often return) and I generally concur. Specifically, I found that the area had much more of a community feel than these articles let on (local interest groups for expats and Koreans alike, libraries, a wide variety of restaurants, meeting places) and I found the quality of life higher than in some American inner cities where I've lived (LA specifically). I found the contrast between the high rises and the parks refreshing and uplifting, and it was heart-warming to see people take advantage of abandoned land to have makeshift vegetable gardens on the outskirts of town. Both the large and the small testified to the ingenuity of the people living there.

Things that I didn't like so much: it definitely felt like there had been a shift away from bringing in businesses to housing, so that you end up with blocks upon blocks of apartments, and with empty business districts. I worked in a high-rise that had an identical 30-story building next to it, completely empty. The Incheon government is trying to turn the tide by attracting biotech and more universities, but it will probably take years before the balance is properly restored.

"it's old so let's change it"

That's very rarely the thought process in the real world when you're dealing with a production system though. Most developers who have the seniority and experience to make the call to upgrade something aren't just upgrading for the fun of it. It's more like...

"it's old and hundreds of security patches and performance improvements have been released in versions that have come along since it was current, and the core developers aren't supporting this version any more so we're in for a world of hurt if anything goes wrong, and we have the bandwidth to fix this problem right now where we might not in the future so let's change it"

Yes. We all write somewhat inaccurately and carelessly in discussion groups. Instead of nitpicking each other, we should try to read each other favorably.

I would say defining who is and isn’t a journalist can sometimes be complicated and difficult, but rarely genuinely subjective.

There has been a lot of writing and thinking and discussion around what makes a journalist, and different styles of journalism, for some time now.

Ultimately the challenge is differing views of reality - disagreement about truth. I think that’s the root issue.

it stays on a page for 30 seconds, and has a pretty decent CPU.

I'm going to guess you could get a decent amount of monero mined...

Googlebot will only visit a page if it thinks that (on average across the domain), there are ~99 human visitors for every bot visit. So you'll have to hide the monero miner on a popular domain.
