Those giant companies already have connected the dots and have super aggressive spam filters for links. It’s a testament to the volume of spam that’s out there that so much still gets through.

SMS has the problem that since you don’t have a spam folder filters have to be lenient because it’s more of a problem when they get a false positive.
I totally believed that was real until I clicked through to some of the other last-post links.

I guess a nuanced version of what I mean is – they very rarely pay a lot for schools if they don't have children. Put another way, they do pay through the nose for schools if they do have children, which it sounds like you are doing.

Of course there are exceptions to this. Maybe you live in a district with great schools and have no children, in which case you are paying for a great school with no direct way you can take advantage of the benefits. My point was that this situation is relatively rare; perhaps it wasn't expressed too well.

We design our languages which then design us. Variant of Churchill's quote about rebuilding their parliament chambers exactly as before.

Maybe think of language design as a search thru an n-dimension problem space.

There's the perennial trilemma of functional (LISP), imperative (APL), and object oriented (Simula), where your new language lands somewhere within that triangular design space.

Then add extra dimensions for type systems. Nominal vs structural vs whatever.

Then add some more for ideas swiped from declarative (SQL, VRML, LINQ), stack-based (Forth), REPLs (Logo), constraints (Prolog), and whatever else people cook up.

Ya, the churn is nutty making. But it's also awesome at the same time.
I think we'll need more examples then just Buffer. Everyone knows Buffer is a successfully bootstrapped company that grew kind of big but not massive.

If the author gave five other examples, then there's a case, but pointing out the one known example doesn't provide enough evidence in my opinion.

A separate point on style and punctuation: too many em dashes in the wrong places.

> What would make Buffer — a good investment?

No need for an em dash here.

> And, if you want to start a get-rich-slow SaaS fund — what is your target maturity?

Same.

> What if, at end of the holding period — investor sells the Buffer stake at market valuation?

Replace em dash with "the".

> But wait… that perpetuity — is a “paper valuation”.

Remove. The ellipsis could be an exclamation point, though it could be in the "personal style" bucket.

I would suggest removing every single em dash and practicing writing without them. They can be useful—for providing inline examples or explanation, for example—but should be used sparingly. Commas, colons, parentheticals, and semicolons can cover most of your use-cases.
> If the premium product catches on, further investments will be made to improve the premium product, and those benefits will eventually trickle down to the average user.

The low-latency customers would generally not actually care very much about bandwidth, tho. And it's in practice hard to increase bandwidth beyond a certain point with something like this. The LEO satellite essentially acts like a large cell tower; everyone in its range has to share a limited amount of physical bandwidth. Actually, worse; the cell tower generally has dedicated backhaul, whereas backhaul for the LEO satellites is shared to some degree. Whereas fibre is point-to-point (modulo some loop-based last-mile systems, but those tend to have lots of capacity).

1) Net neutrality being wiped out _in one country_. Perhaps temporarily. I really don't buy a future scenario where the US has a bunch of LEO satellites, and the rest of the developed world has fibre everywhere. And if StarLink et al were actually competitive, conventional ISPs would just cut prices and improve service (which they can in many cases do almost for free due to overprovisioning; my ISP has increased my bandwidth from 120Mbit/sec to 500 over the past four years by essentially adjusting some config in their DOCSIS system), such that it was no longer competitive.

2) LTE is a thing (and don't these LEO satellite internet things require fixed antennae?)

3) I would certainly _hope_ they'd encrypt data transmission out of the box! All wireless and shared wire (eg DOCSIS) systems have done so for decades. And you'd still absolutely have to worry about your ISP (StarLink, or similar LEO sat company) selling your browsing history.

LEO satellite broadband may have a place, but its place will largely be in places where there is no fibre infrastructure, and where there's no LTE/5G tower in range. In the developed world, that's getting to be a rare condition. Plus the weird ultra-low-latency edge case (which I would maintain is largely not relevant to consumers, and will be beaten by edge computing in many cases anyway). Whether that will be enough to sustain it commercially remains to be seen.

He came across as aggressive and a little snooty, and the scientist clearly wasn't going to put up with that. The interviewer was outmatched (nothing wrong with that, journalists can't restrict themselves to people who know less than they do), but he wanted to come across as an intellectual equal, and he might have gotten frustrated when he realized that no matter how smart you are, home turf advantage is hard to reckon with.

You're asking EA to devote hundreds of thousands of dollars of resources to maintaining a game mode that apparently only a few thousand people engage with now.

I'm an advocate of recreational use. While I believe THC has potential for habituation, the type of addiction it induces is not at all comparable to addictions to substances like nicotine, alcohol, opioids or even caffeine. The habituation potential it has is on par with other psychological addictions, and is unlike addictions to substances that have strong physical components. I believe that marijuana substitution has potential for those who are addicted to stronger drugs when it comes to getting through withdrawals, controlling cravings and maintaining abstinence.

I can attest to the productivity and creativity benefits marijuana provides, and looking at well-known and successful creatives, many of them attribute some of that productivity and creativity to marijuana consumption.
> If it was a probe, it seems to be a very poorly planned mission. It just swung through our system without appearing to do anything.

Maybe a poorly planned mission in terms of our technological constraints i.e. we need a longer time to gather meaningful data when we send out probes. Maybe their technology is so advanced that they need only a flyby to analyze our planet.
Yes they have. Huawei and 5g is the largest instance of this, but there are plenty of others.
It does require a bit more setup and getting used to but once you're up to speed you'll be going like a madman.

I highly advise adding PurgeCSS to the build pipeline with Tailwind, it can reduce the output CSS from around 250kB to 15kB for a small website without removing stuff manually from the configuration. The setup is explained in the docs [0].

To put it in software terms, it's not a bug, it's an architecture flaw. The "poor regulations" aren't individual issues, but rather part of the fabric of a framework that causes perverse incentives. Therefore, the simpleminded conservative/rightwing solution to "reduce regulation" doesn't eliminate the perverse incentives - it just changes the flow, the way tossing a rock in a river does.

If I were the one making the decision, I'd change American healthcare with one big thing, modeled on the Japanese system... price controls. Japan's system is more or less like ours, but with one key difference - a government panel sets the prices for all medical goods and services. Providers and insurers have to make their profits within that price structure. This incentivizes both to reduce costs, for the sake of their own profits.

Of course, this would be called radical socialism or some such stupid in America, and Democrats aren't even talking about it (Republicans have no ideas at all on health care). But it's politically a much lower threshold than single-payer (throwing out the whole framework and starting over, basically). And it demonstrably works - Japan's system costs less than half what ours does per capita, with better outcomes.

So, this is why, at least in the US, EU and a few other countries, we have orphan drug policies.

If you don't know orphan drugs are drugs that could be a life saving medical necessity for rare diseases that do not have a large enough base of users to make the drugs affordable. I'm not talking about Shkreli "affordable", but it's literally not feasible to spin up manufacturing, or final trials, or educational materials for doctors affordable. So governments offer massive subsidies or cost investments for some of these drugs that often only help TENS of people, not hundreds, or thousands or millions.

What's missing is a similar policy for funding otherwise for-profit efforts like the authors.Educational tools and products are often seen as less valuable but I believe they could be immensely helpful.

Now as to the authors original flaws? Well, his product has a clear sell-through referral potential, but it's not really functional to do so with prescription drugs. That being said, selling this product to a CVS or a webmd as a feature could be really good, or major hospital networks, or heck even pharma companies. But all of that is often year+ sales cycles, you can't just luck into that.
Ah, but then you have all these with the ever-increasing demand for profit and the issues caused by that incentive on top of it all. Is that an improvement?

> If Oumuamua is indeed an interstellar probe, it would seem to have come from a civilization far less advanced than whatever seems to have been observed by various militaries and analyzed by this New York Post special .

We know barely anything about Oumuamua, clearly not enough to decide what kind of object it is, even less about the Nimitz encounter and yet, based on two nothings, you are feeling confident enough to say that the would be civilization that build 'Oumuamua' is less advanced than the would be civilization that built the Nimitz object.

> Companies let detected hacks slide silently and then do waves of mass bans to prevent hackers working out what exactly triggered the ban.

The problem with this strategy is that it virtually guarantees that cheaters will get to have multiple months of fun before they get banned.

Discouraging someone from doing a destructive behavior requires preventing it when it happens. You need consistent, immediate enforcement. If you get banned the same day you start cheating, then that's a discouragement. If you're guaranteed a few months of fun on an alt account, then that's an encouragement.
Fair enough. Though that's probably on the early side for most people to have put an SSD in their computer. (Inflation also means the 1990 number is also about 50% higher relative to 2009.)

TBH, I probably spend as much on disk drives as I ever did but that's because of the redundancy I can afford, all the media, and because I just leave a lot of stuff laying around because it's easier than pruning.

How did you come up with probabilities? It seems to me that probability becomes unhelpful and it's either 0 or 1, once we've ruled out everything for which we have reliable known probabilities.

A terrestrial foreign superpower's technology seems like a plausible explanation at first if we can assign probabilities to them being more advanced than us (probably low but non-negligible). That would be compelling if this were the first reliable sighting of its kind (or if it didn't already occur 15 years ago), but apparently such sightings have been actively studied by the US gov for a few decades before this, so it seems quite impossible they would have had the capability in the pogrom/hard labor days, assuming there is some relation between current sightings and those happening decades ago.
I think smartphones, laptops, streaming and online shopping really decimated this retail sector.

This might be a controversial viewpoint, but it's way too cumbersome to pay your taxes in the US currently, and I don't see how anyone but companies like TurboTax benefit from obscuring access to basic tax prep software. This industry currently reeks of rent-seeking.

The complexity of the tax code is often subject to debate, but we don't spend as much time discussing how to deploy a technological solution that uses your tax records to predetermine what you owe, with an optional process to file your own if you choose.

> - Apple and Google are still the only two mobile operating systems that matter and they are still in relatively the same position. iOS still controls the high end where the money is and Android has the market share but the OEMs are not making any money.

You're badly misremembering or recontextualizing with hindsight bias. At the start of 2010, iOS had 32%, Android had 4.5%, and there were at least 5 other mobile OSs with >4% market share. Start of 2020 and we're looking at Android with 74%, iOS with 24%, and zero other OSs with >1% market share. These are very different situations!
I recall facing map-hackers in BW, SC2, and WC3...it was very frustrating, but at the same time, they were generally correspondingly worse at every game mechanic. If you played a solid, standard, scouting-based, conservative style, you could beat these players despite their handicaps.

On the other hand, maphackers totally counter risk-taking players who play secretive strategies like DT rush, DT drop, high-tech rushes, players who love big drops, hidden bases...players like that would get slaughtered by map hackers.

So, if you l2p, you'd be able to beat them with superior skills. Can't say the same for shooters, though, those games are ruined by hackers.
