Follow up to my other comment, read your post and it's extremely entertaining - found myself laughing at (you can probably guess) the estimates part and a lot of the other stuff in there I know so well I felt almost as though you were writing my own thoughts better than I could :-)

Very cool to hear from other bootstrappers / solo founders like yourself talking about things they've done, successes yes but also failures and lessons, and that was also my aim with this post. I feel like it's a pretty small niche within the much larger overall 'startup' world.
Cool story. CoCs are invented by people “playing on easy mode” to signal to other easy mode players of their guilt. They do nothing to help the people on regular or hard.
Go and Rust are completely different in many ways. It's kinda like you're asking why someone would want a hybrid minivan when they've been making hybrid sedans for over 10 years.
This is a sort of "Ayn Rand'ian" rationality in which the only thing that matters is what you're getting out of the deal independently of how devoid of empathy your worldview is.
Well for starters we are talking about developers not grandma on her chromebook.

I guess if you are a developer and your choice of tool to develop software is a Chromebook, android device, or text console then step one would be to examine that questionable choice.

If you are using Wayland I would suggest you figure out if wayland adds value to your workflow. If you use an environment that depends on wayland you would just have to accept that its less mature and designed at heart by people who neither value user configuration nor power users.

As such its a bit harder but certainly not impossible and most likely involves creating a custom keyboard layout. It seems likely that someone will eventually figure out how to do xmodmap for wayland but in the meanwhile perhaps the 15 minuted required will be less onerous than the effort required to learn a new language.

I like to talk about trade-offs a lot, and opportunity cost is also a good way to look at it. But yeah, it’s not often I see that happen.

Even better, make that a function of time so your cost/benefit analysis looks further beyond your initial preference. Spending more to save more is a highly effective choice in the right circumstances, and equally so, a perceived rapid gain can cost a fortune a bit later on.

I once had a manager who insisted on time estimates, but used them in a way that I actually found valuable. You'd write out all the tasks involved in a project add them all up, and then say "this will take T"

Then he'd say, "okay, what would it take to do what you just said in T/2?" Then you'd cut stuff until you got to T/2. The project then, very often, would take me the original T.

This seemed to work a lot better than just doubling the initial estimate to 2T.

A 15 minute conversation however, especially with someone you haven't talked to about it yet, can save you days of unnecessary work on something useless or, better yet, get you to an idea that might have taken weeks to come to on your own.

In this case the evolution of the rules was not properly handled and the risk assigned post facto to a population (these tiny businesses) not set up to handle the new rules.

With regards to the megacorps: they have often treated the future obligation and the current obligation as uncoupled on their balance sheets which is great in the short term and disastrous in the long. A bit of "apres moi le deluge". Not just the megacorps; the US state of Illinois made the same terrible decision.
I've tried this out so I can report the experience.
First, I can confirm the only permission requested is camera, and that's only when I first try to use the "scan a license" function. It seems like a Google Play bug that the play store allegedly shows legacy information if you click "permissions"[0] on the website, as these aren't reflected in the actual store.

Secondly, being able to press a button and get shown my current demerits is extremely useful. Last time I wanted to check this I spent a good two hours on hold on the phone.

My license expires in two weeks and this is the first I found out about it. Undoubtedly due to some bungle in the traditional system.

I can see why people are concerned, and it's not going to be accepted in clubs for a while as the scanners physically won't fit a phone.

(Having deployed those scanners a few years back, I'm frankly more concerned about their privacy situation than this app).

The problem is that respectful speech is itself a widely varying cultural standard.

For example, one problem I consistently face is with interruptions. In my native culture, interruptions are entirely normal outside of formal speech. I try to tone this down in the workplace to accommodate other people, and similarly, most people try to understand that I mean well when my lifetime of cultural baggage slips through. But I have to be incredibly careful with my speech patterns around "respect and inclusivity" people, because they always interpret my interruptions as intolerable and deliberate rudeness.
Here in the US, I filed an FTC complaint and contacted my Congressman. Enough is enough, and the government has the power to stop this. Fitbit going away will cause massive consumer harm, both to the 28 million existing Fitbit owners whose devices will shortly become worthless, and the almost assured higher prices of the smartwatch and fitness tracker market arising from one of the cheaper brands being absorbed and killed.
Fair enough. I had not realized how competitive things had become, because some of them are not in my neighbourhood, but most of them are within a 20km range.

> modern astrologers still use Earth-centred charts, as if Copernicus had never existed.

That's because it's not about causation but about correlation. Obviously the stars can not influence our individual lives, nevertheless I can not be equally sure there is no rhythm driving our personal histories and it can't correlate with that present in the geocentric model. Perhaps, if that's the case, a more relevant model could (or could not) be derived given modern understanding of astronomy but nobody bothers to invent it as long as the traditional model produces predictions sufficient to satisfy the overwhelming majority of the target audience.

I once had to read the book "Good to Great", and Walgreens was used as a prime example throughout the book. They drove their success by having a fanatical focus on convenient locations. I saw it once myself, they closed a store and opened a new one right across the street because it was a better location.

I always wondered how that strategy was faring once grocery stores started including pharmacies.

The targeting can easily be neighbourhood, so you can say neighbourhood 1 (that likes Pizza) gets messaging that says candidate A loves pizza and everyone should get a free one, and also tells that neighbourhood that candidate B hates pizza. Then in another Neighbourhood that hates pizza they advertise the opposite.

You can get a reasonable approximation of that targeting in real life as well, but it is harder to hide that that is what you’re doing. Whereas with online targeting you are never aware that the other ads exist.
It's just the two of us and we're completely bootstrapped :) so yes, this is definitely one of our motives.

> You're also making some weird assumptions that transferring money away from billionaires would just destroy that money, and that the current billionaires are using their resources in the most productive way possible

There's nothing weird about that. You don't get to be a billionaire by being bad at managing your money, nor do you get to be a billionaire by investing in less productive investments.

By taxing the 1%, you are removing money from the most productive investments.

> Sure but it’s not like Fitbit was going to survive long on it’s own

Fitbit was profitable. Sure, it wasn't hyper-growth, nor was it earning insane advertiser money, but it didn't have to be those things. Fitbit had best-in-class fitness tracking hardware and software that worked cross-platform.

Fitbit should have never IPO'd, focused on reducing operational costs, and turned into a lifestyle business. They were never destined to join FAANG.
An organisation providing its employees with residential accomodation is not unheard of, and not at all specific to religion. It is common for governments to provide housing to senior officials (head of state or government, senior ministers, etc) and ambassadors. That doesn't make those governments for-profit, and the President/Prime Minister/Ambassador/etc is not a stockholder/owner of the government receiving a profit distribution from it.

Historically, even relatively junior employees were often provided with accomodation. One of my favourite examples is a couple of unusual residences in Sydney, Australia, which are houses built into sewer vents [1], [2]. The government-owned water utility built these residences for the sewer workers who maintained the vents to live in (along with their families). That didn't make these sewer workers somehow recipients of a "profit distribution", nor did it make the government-owned water utility a "for-profit". (The houses still exist, but are now sold or rented-out to non-employees, since providing employees with residential accomodation is far less common than it used to be–and the sewer vents are still in use to ventilate the main sewers that run beneath them.)

Before Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014, the FTC issued them an order [1] which said in relevant part:

"WhatsApp has made a number of promises about the limited nature of the data it collects, maintains, and shares with third parties -promises that exceed the protections currently promised to Facebook users. We want to make clear that, regardless of the acquisition, WhatsApp must continue to honor these promises to consumers. Further, if the acquisition is completed and WhatsApp fails to honor these promises, both companies could be in violation of Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Act"

Then in 2016 WhatsApp went ahead and shared all that data with Facebook [2]. Nothing happened to either party, the FTC did nothing.

So I think your question of "how do we codify what it means for a company to acquire someone for their data" might be too optimistic - we could codify it, not allow companies to share data when merging, and they can still do it anyway.

Cheapest rent is about $1,800/mo in my area (California, eh) - my car is by far the worse one around. To me, it's about what trajectory you funnel your income in to generate wealth - tangible, liquid, appreciating assets as well as ETFs, bonds & recurring revenue. The notion of someone who's my age looking at a luxury or exotic car which is a chump change spend for someone who's had 1-3 more decades to generate wealth and concluding that wrecking their own long-term trajectory by incurring depreciation & loan interest - all for the sake of superficial equality, is absolutely insane to me.
With async-std, you can just do

let future = async_std::task::spawn(timer_future());

And then do more work. The timer_future will run cooperatively, and the future returned by spawn is merely a “join handle”.

But this is a feature of the executor, not something that’s part of the core rust async/await. With tokio, you’d have to spawn a separate future and use channels to get the return value.
