Imho it's far from "just". The advice works for short lifespan products and/or single "builder" and/or when requirements don't change much.

Getting the product fast out there is not enough. It's more important to make changes fast, to allow product be shaped and built further.

It should be a balance (see "golden goose" tale). If you have a team of "builders", than tooling becomes even more important, 1 person's extra effort will make others more efficient.

"Just build the product" sound like a consultant motto that ships by specifications, but only that. You could "just" build a product that needs 1 hour to be deployed.

Edit:
I would say a better advice to "builders" would be just focus on the scope, it's very easy to get exited and overengineer things.

Even considering the most improbable scenarios, terrestrial explanations have one incredibly significant advantage: we know that intelligent life already exists here.

When you consider the, quite literally, astronomical distances involved in interstellar travel and the corresponding time and resources required, combined with having no data whatsoever to suggest that advanced intelligent life exists anywhere within our galactic neighborhood, aliens look like a pretty damned unlikely explanation.

Hell, it's more likely there's some Wakanda-like hidden advanced human civilization somewhere around here, or maybe a non-human one that inhabits our deep oceans or something. Even less likely than that is some form of time travel from future humans which, again, is still more likely than aliens because we know with certainty that human beings exist on Earth.
This book reads more like a thought experiment than a novel. And it's bone chilling how convincingly it argues for it's vision of the future.
There always will be some need for physical retail, though. The pattern seems to be:

1. Many Speciality retailers
2. Single speciality retailer
3. single speciality retailer with limited stock
4. general retailer or substitute

With each step the market shrinks some, but it's still possible to capture profits.

Like you can chart videogames in this way

1. funcoland, electronics boutique, software etc, gamestop
2. gamestop (expansion)
3. current gamestop (limited game selection, focus on other high margin goods)
4. (future) gamestop folds, wal-mart and general retailers become focus of physical game retail.

In my town, bookstores are like this:

1. Waldenbooks, B Daltons, Books a Million, Borders
2. BOrders, then BAM
3. BAM, limited book stock, focusing more on high margin accessories
4. (in my local area) Goodwill, tiny book shelf at Walmart

The market will contract as Amazon increases to fit the reduced need for physical. So Micro Center is able to fulfill the demand by themselves, and it was just who had better business governance that chose who survived to take over the shrinking market, i think.
I was confused by this too. Clicking and dragging with the mouse (or at least touchpad) works for navigation. The HTML canvas element key events aren't working (maybe they worked . in older browsers). There is an open PR that hooks window events instead (I made similar edits locally that make it work). https://github.com/s-macke/VoxelSpace/pull/13.

The overuse of employee drug testing should be forbid too, unless there are specific good reasons for it.

In fact I think it's pretty revealing as to how poorly our society treats and thinks about people suffering from addictions that this discussion is only being had now that it hits people niccotine addiction, which is far less stigmanized than most other harmful drugs. Arguably, before, people didn't care, because it only hit the less-than-human "junkies".

This would be a useful feature of Google, but it won't be a real company without an innovative business model. 9 months to build a company AND THEN innovate a business model is nowhere near enough time, especially since you probably spent the vast majority of the time on the product. If you had a partner that was equally talented working on the business side since day one you still wouldn't have something in 9 months, but maybe 2 years. And maybe something HUGE. That's the gamble you make going into a startup, and 9 months simply isn't long enough to find that out.

Or maybe you could have been a small acquisition target for Google to incrementally increase their search superiority. I imagine they would be able to monetize eyeballs with searches like these at (very) roughly 100x the rate of WebMD.
I'm definitely extremely skeptical about whether or not its true, but the theory being argued for the nimitz sighting is that it bends space in front of and behind the craft for propulsion, but not sure what that would mean for sonic booms. It's kind of like putting a bowling ball on a bed and pushing your hand down in front of the ball and pulling up on the bed behind it to move the ball. Again, I'm very skeptical about it.. but it seems potentially plausible. This joe rogan episode where he interviews a navy pilot was pretty interesting:

> All that is left is educating the masses and that fails as well.

That is not always true. You can have regulations which force banks to change. Banks don't like it but politicians don't like an unstable banking sector, especially if it causes sharp changes in the stock market.

As an example, the recent money laundering scandals in Sweden has caused some changes in credit card security. Politicians want to reassure the public and increase trust in Swedish banks, so the last years has seen several notable banking regulations. I would guess that they actually want noticeable friction in order to reassure the public that they have things under control.
I enjoy the games. It is as simple as that. They are fun to play and you don’t need to buy the MTXs to enjoy the game despite multiple people crying about them.

Games are also more and more expensive to develop so you kind of need to add MTX to the AAA games to cover the costs, especially when BFV didn’t have any DLCs. It is not 2000’s anympre.

Interesting, could be a differentiator from other pharmacies.
So, realistically, if we land in a planet with life on it, we're going to figure out whether we're going to eat it, and our criteria will be that it is not more intelligent than something only marginally less capable than us (higher primates, crows, dolphins, elephants, cephalopods, etc) so if they have found us, it's really very likely they're going to rank us on a scale of edibility, without much concern to how superior we think we are to other forms of food.

I wish the Senate Democrats would try to do something productive rather than keep wasting taxpayers money on stuff that is not getting anything done.

I personally think that society would benefit more as a whole if they were able to lay some groundwork on some systems they can build up once Trump is eventually done serving his time in office.

Imagine if they devoted as much time/effort and money to coming up with a healthcare system for everyone, or a way to improve college education costs/loans? Helping homelessness or disabled veterans?

The amount of time/effort/money on Russia/impeachment literally since Trump has taken office is so mind boggling. I feel like democrats literally could not accept defeat and have been acting like children who haven't gotten their way.

I voted for Obama, and was a Bernie supporter, and the Democrats have pushed me away with these actions.
(First wears tin-foil hat). It may be more likely that we are under observation and a mature inter-stellar space faring alien civilisation has commandments not to interact or interfere with the primitive natives. They occasionally mess up and then the UFO's are seen. But their propaganda department clears the mess up.
I'm 100% serious. I have been in there maybe two dozen times in the last 2 years. The audio area in particular is quite dim, there are ceiling lights that are never turned on (underneath the weird UFO shaped outcropping).
-Analogue technologies will gain ground on digital, based on their current statuses

-The Global Mass Extinction will accelerate.

-Polite disagreement with authority will become harder. Most people will be either law abiding citizens of an increasingly authoritarian system or acknowledged criminals, with fewer 'naughty' figures.

-Global life expectancy will increase by 5-10 years

-Nation states will have a slow-motion Kessler event. Cities and city politics will become increasingly important on the global stage.

-psychedelics and other tools that work at the overlap of psychology and physics will increase in prominence. Religions will get weirder, more Florida than California in flavour.

"This is precisely why we need universal healthcare. The incentive structure of private markets don't properly value human life."

Government-run healthcare isn't a panacea that will 'value human life' any more than the insurance companies. You are still a number in a database somewhere.

Most new drugs come out of the US and socialized governments create generics at a fraction of the cost, because they don't have to put any money into R&D.

The US is the back-bone of the medical system for the rest of the world and also has the best medical schools and best quality hospitals (the majority of people with money come to the US for life-saving surgeries..this has to tell you something).

We need to push the true costs of things to the patient, which will force the price down...not replace the existing inefficient layer of the insurance companies with an even more inefficient layer called the government.

This has worked with many cosmetic surgeries, which used to be very expensive, but aren't covered by insurance.

Insurance should only cover rare surgeries that can't use the free market to reduce the costs.

I can't think of anything that the government runs better than the private sector. Healthcare is no different.

about once a week for creating diagrams. Have a look at them for some feature ideas.

Looking at your site the main problem I see is you don't indicate which player is to move anywhere.

In Artemis Fowl, the Neutrino weapons used by the faeries are not actually neutrino ray guns, but a substance called HCSP (High Conductivity Soft Polymer) which conducts electricity. It is charged with varying levels of electricity while leaving the gun, and dissolves upon impact at high enough velocity while imparting its electrical charge into the target.

Wouldn't work well against dry kevlar, but I suppose you just bring the right tools for the job. I think it's worth exploring polymers, though a dissolvable polymer sounds like microplastic hell.

FSCRYPT's Inline Encryption Support Updated for Possible Inclusion in Linux 5.6
I didn't know about Fry's closing until this article, and that makes me sad. It's one of the first places I went to when I moved to the bay area in 2002.

But yeah since I moved to SF it just doesn't make sense to drive down to Palo Alto to buy computer stuff. The traffic kills it :-(

I think the last time I went to Fry's was like 2011 or 2012 :-( I think part of the loss of customers may have to do with younger people moving to SF instead of Palo Alto / Mountain View? In addition to them buying online.

Interestingly I remember my first roommate in 2002 was the one who told me about Newegg.

I assume you can't log in using a user/pass in that server, that's why they use IP addresses. But you could have a web interface where you can log in, and that would communicate with the game server to add your current IP to the whitelist.
Yes, this is what I have heard from experts. An interesting example of the value of ‘big food’ having the heft to hire reams of PhDs to solve problems like this.
Ownership changes at the point of sale. At the time they do the check, they no longer have any legal basis for preventing the customer from leaving. Costco and Sam's Club can only get away with it because they can revoke membership for non-compliance. At Fry's, stopping someone for a search risks civil suit for kidnapping.

Aside from that, it's a security theater tactic to discourage shoplifting, which also happens to discourage regular shopping.
It's a great book but I'm surprised by how many people find the dark forest theory convincing -- it pretty clearly makes this assumption that all (or, at least many) alien civilizations are ruthless, calculating game theorists, and don't share any moral concepts with us. Of course, they don't have to, but I find it unlikely that societies that made it so far wouldn't have the same basic concepts around "don't kill people for less-than-justifiable reasons" as we do.

I like the follow up novel Redemption of Time for this reason, it has some passages about maybe there are other galaxies where the dark forest isn't at all the case, and I find that concept about the same level of plausibility.

Ah, you're right. After having enough hashes to secure against attacks, they don't really do anything useful. People will just mine as many as they can with a given budget, which buys the same number of kWh no matter how efficient the hash calculations are.
I watched someone play it on the hardest difficulty, which plays like Jedi Dark Souls. It didn't look like a game with any real replay-ability. I find catching those games on twitch is way more fun than playing them myself.
>The vision isn't just automotive, it's solar for homes and grid batteries as well. a decentralized power grid for the future.

The "issue" is, these are low margin businesses. Why don't you provide some actual numbers? How many cars, roofs and batteries do they have to build/install to justify the market cap?

Much of the Tesla valuation is based on self driving taxis and appreciate cars, and that ain't happening for a while.

>But if you actually do some research,

You don't think funds with billions on the line are "doing research"? That's...presumptuous.
Bingo. I live in an area where adult-only leisure establishments can choose whether to allow smoking. About 80% don't allow it by conscious choice and everyone is happy.

I'm a huge believer in the "expert product manager" route.

Meaning have one person who talks to all the stakeholders and every type of user. Who just knows your product backwards and forwards. And thus can drive what changes you need to make to push things forward.

What exactly the means depends on the nature of the product.

Read Blindsight [1] by Peter Watts. A much better book, in my opinion. It's without doubt the most existentially unnerving novel about alien intelligence that I've read.

I'm not going to spoil anything, suffice to say that the object that is encountered in space is nothing like anything portrayed in science fiction before. The exploration narrative goes far beyond Clarke's Rama, and Watts poses some very interesting philosophical questions along the way.

The book has some minor narrative issues that annoyed me, but still a great read.

At least in the above scenario the hospital has a financial incentive to treat you (part of why we perform loads of unnecessary surgeries in this country).

I’m for a public system I just think it is very difficult to do correctly, and if we go into it with idealism instead of extreme pessimism we will fail to secure it against those who prey on exploiting public money.
