When it comes to Nordic countries with sovereign wealth funds, you must be confusing Finland with Norway. Finland is not listed here [0], and the country has never had the sort of abundant natural resources that would make it a powerhouse in this regard. Sure, Finland does have forests, but the vacillations in the paper market in recent years and competition from other countries has hurt the economy, not boosted it.

> The exterior/wedge product is actually very closely related to the cross product, and works to generalize the cross product to n dimensions.

So, to be as opinionated as the g'parent comment:

The cross product is a hack which only works in certain dimensionalities, whereas the wedge product is the underlying idea, which works in all circumstances.

To be less opinionated:

The cross product is inconvenient because what it gives you aren't the "usual" vectors, they're axial vectors, which behave differently under mirror reflection than all of your other vectors do.
nonetheless, I found their library pretty easy to use and faster compared to the competitors. Sadly due to the licensing issues, I think I won't be using it for sometime ( or ever incase quote is above and beyond expectations )
> Yes, but they take steps to ensure they cannot easily be forced to decrypt chats via a court order in a single country. From the Telegram FAQ

Again, this is just what they claim. Doesn't mean they don't read chats because they feel like it. And this doesn't mean that they won't cooperate with other entities in the future. Or that the keys won't get leaked.

Your data being encrypted is pointless if it's stored one someone else's servers, and they have the keys to it.
I told my interviewer recently that I did not think in words. The interview was over.
That's not true. Rotations in 3D space are 4D objects: a 3D orientation and a 1D magnitude.

Rotors use a.b with aXb, and quaternions use magnitude and
3D direction vector.

That is however a poor reflection of reality. In reality every man is not living on some Robinson Crusoe island where they create all their success and wealth in a vacuum.

Quite the contrary, almost all wealth in modern society is dependent on utilizing the knowledge and labor of other people. Either you extract rent from owning property or you extract profits by owning capital.

Either way you are somehow getting other people to do work for you. As your wealth and success grows your bargaining position improves.

In a market economy, the price paid for a product is determined by the bargaining position of the seller and buyer. A sufficiently rich capitalist owner can squeeze down the wage of his workers and thus extract a large surplus of income.

With wealth comes power. You can use your wealth to buy or influence politicians to create laws that benefit your and which are detrimental to your workers or possible competition. You can use your wealth to propagate a dynasty. Pay for your children to get the best education. Send them to schools where the rich and the powerful create special links and bonds. An insider game where they make sure they stay on top.

It is native to assume the game cannot be rigged in favor of the rich. It can and it has been done so since the dawn of time.

It does not mean we should not have rich people. But let us not kid ourselves into thinking opposing and conflicting interests don't exist.

If the chat isn't e2e, you are warned at every moment because the message text box that you type into prominently says "(unencrypted)". You can easily enable e2e for all conversations, and it will soon be the default. The data is on your own homeserver, and no one else has access to keys. Riot/matrix is vastly superior to telegram.

Edit: also, telegram doesn't support e2e encrypted group chats, unlike riot.

50% of deaths were under 47? Do you have a source for this? Because I can't find that anywhere, and the last time anyone reported any numbers it was literally all but 1 were 47 or older.

And I'm not implying that people 47 and older arent worth caring about. But that group is always tends to have more severe health problems, which is why people should take those numbers with a grain of salt.
Do you believe that immigration happens in a vacuum? I.e. the reason people immigrate is because they believe that going to location y is better that staying at location x.

Providing free housing, medical, school, etc... is a huge incentive.

This is why we try to control immigration, we simply don't have the resources to provide a safety net to everyone.

It used to be that you could wander far off into the woods, chop down some trees and start building a house. The government won't let you do this. There didn't even use to be a government. It's only fair I think that if there is a government which stops us from doing these things, it could help provide housing some other way instead.

Super simplified, but just to give a nuance between "right to have" vs "right to not being hindered".

CCTLDs are useful for searching.

I fairly often add "site:dk" to my Google searches. I know I'm excluding Danish sites using generic TLDs, or using Danish domain hacks¹, but it's usually good enough to get past the irrelevant results I didn't want.

Search engines can also use the CCTLD as part of the signalling -- a .dk site is almost certainly related to Denmark.

That doesn't work for .to, .nu, .cc and so on. (.IO is unusual, the only genuinely linked site I can see is the government's, at https://biot.gov.io/ ) Google has a list of CCTLDs it considers "generic"², I don't know if they have workarounds for sites actually linked to these places.

¹ "A/S" is a type of company registration, so American Samoa ".as" is used, "nu" means "now" so there's some use of Niue ".nu".

This problem is already solved with humans, some of whom are also very intelligent and goal oriented. It's done by noticing when those rare individuals do things we don't want and formalizing our preference in law. So many people agree on the concept of respecting the law that we all cooperate to enforce it. The law is an ugly mess of rules made to plug gaps in itself as they were taken advantage of. Nobody could have worked it all out up front and programmed it into a robot. It evolved along with the intelligent humans it was meant to control. It's precarious though - if the majority of humans don't keep vigilantly maintaining it, an intelligent human might move too fast and gain enough power to take control of the updating of the law! Then we have something like a tyranny. Which can and does sometimes kill all the humans (within its influence) in pursuit of its goals. So as long as we don't let robots move too fast for us to notice what's happening, we should be able to just keep writing more and more laws for them to follow. Not moving too fast for us to keep an eye on them might be the first one!
Have had this issue sometimes, specially when ruminating about a discussion or whatever. What i often do in those cases is going into visual mode. For me I imagine having big long wings and catching the wind from some high mountain descending flying slowly, trying to surround the mountain and checking the views. It's something soothing and takes the attention away from the internal monologe. Though you can fall back to it and when you notice go back to visual.
I also note that there is like two visual modes, one less defined, more controlled by my will, and one more realistic and crowded with details mostly out of my control.

y^2 = 1 because it is the sum of the dot product (1) and the outer product (0). The latter is because the parallelogram between y and y has zero area. The former is just the length of the vector y.

Nobody has anything "inherently".

A bare human in nature is barely human even - he/she has no language, no family, no nation, no history, no culture, etc. Same for his rights. There's no freedom guaranteed to him by nature - anybody can enslave him. There's also no right to life or property: anybody can kill him, get his valuables, etc.

Rights are what we declare/determine that our collective organization (i.e. a government in modern terms) must help establish, secure, and guard.

"Natural rights" is a way to say "We believe that the government should protect and secure this and that "right", and that it is the obvious and natural thing to do".

Otherwise "natural rights" means nothing, it's an empty wish, and has no basis without anyone to enforce it.

People do have natural gravity. The have mass, weight etc, just because they exist in nature as people. Nobody can take that away from them.

But they don't have "natural rights" given by any kind of nature, those are things that somebody must establish and enforce for them (including themselves, either because they are stronger than anybody else, or because they group together and enforce them for one another).
Can you point to a developed country where the government doesn't micromanage land and housing is affordable and plentiful as a result? I can't think of any modern or historical examples. How does less zoning lead to affordable housing? What's the mechanism?

It makes a lot of sense. If a lick of AGPL hits any of their web services, they have to make the source available. I imagine they use plenty of FLOSS on their back-end servers, and I imagine quite a bit is GPL, BSD, MIT, Apache and so on.
You might even say it was Genius.

You cannot compare tiny Norway to the whole of the US. You have to compare to individual states in the US. Many American states have more oil than Norway and has produced oil for much longer and at much lower cost.

Drilling a 4km deep oil well out in the north sea in rough weather is very different from drilling 20 meters on land in Texas.

If you look at various American oil states. They have managed their oil wealth far more poorly than Norway. No sovereign wealth fund. Public system often underfunded and in poor condition. Look at Oklahoma e.g.
This stuff tends to vary greatly depending on individual tastes and preferences.

That said, some of the ones I like are

- SomaFM (mentioned in these replies already I think)

- KEXP (an actual broadcast station, but I listen online: https://kexp.org)

- Devil's Night Radio (this was taken down and they regrouped under the name KPJK. I only have the link to listen on TuneIn but it's essentially described as "the best dive bar jukebox" with a mix of punk, garage, oldies, rock, sad cowboy songs, and assorted weird stuff. https://tunein.com/radio/KPJK-s263142/)
This is why I avoid AGPL projects for potential ideas / side projects that could potentially turn useful.
Thanks for sharing. I really enjoy your writing style by the way.

I'm interested how the "raising prices to avoid feature requests from people who wouldn't become a customer anyway" worked.

I have built something for a friend of mine who is now my first customer. The tool solves a niche problem some of his peers struggle with too.

When building it, I tried to make the data models as generic as possible so that other businesses would be able to use the tool with a minimum of effort from my side.

Of course, I still foresee a lot of feature requests. How do/did you know zestful had the right basic functionality and feature-set for it to be useful to customers?

In other words, how did you separate the must-have features from the nice-to-have ones (knowing that a must-have for a particular person could very well be a nice-to-have for the market)?
I read your previous post about Zestful, and this years update, and I just don't understand who would buy this as a hosted API. To me, it sounds like this should be a library, not an API. For every use case that I can think of, having a library would be 100x better than an API.

In my experience, APIs are generally slow, unreliable, and tend to change without notice.

I don't understand what advantage an API has, except making it easier for the developer to charge based on usage.

Do people really buy APIs like this? Am I missing something?

Because they're not even saying how much money. "Call us for a quote" usually means "Let's start the sales dance in which we try to gauge how much we can fleece you for", which also means it's not going to be a quick answer.

For me it means the software is immediately categorized as "to be considered only once all other options have been exhausted".

So instead of having a private monopoly on infrastructure where politicians tell the private monopoly what to do. Now we have a public monopoly where we have the politicians controlling it directly.

There is historical precedent for internet providers competing for internet over a common infrastructure. That use to be required for DSL. None of the companies were profitable. Locally there was MindSpring and Telestream among others that both tried.
This is incorrect, if you read Spivak, you can define and (n-1)-ary product which generalizes the cross product. You give it (n-1) vectors and it gives you a vector orthogonal to all of them.

Whether you call it the cross product or not is just semantics, but it does exist in terms of the exterior product.

It's difficult to find online, but it's constructed directly in Spivak. A quote:

"It is uncommon in mathematics to have a "product" that depends on more than two factors. In the case of two vectors v,w in R^3, we obtain a more conventional looking product, v X w in R^3. For this reason it is sometimes maintained that the cross product. can be defined only on R^3" - Calculus on Manifolds, pg.84

Most graduate students read this (or did five years ago).

Just starting to have income near the two year mark is what I assume would happen.

Assuming you still need to make income at some point, how long would you go before you decided it was time to go work for someone else? Three years? Four years?

BTW: I'm more interested in how you self-reflect on your entrepreneurial abilities. How do you make decisions around that? How do you prevent yourself from falling in love with your work if it's not going to make money?
buku is a powerful bookmark manager written in Python3 and SQLite3. When I started writing it, I couldn't find a flexible command-line solution with a private, portable, merge-able database along with seamless GUI integration.

buku can auto-import bookmarks from your browser(s) or fetch the title and description of a bookmarked url from the web. You can use your favourite editor to compose and update bookmarks. With multiple search options, including regex and a deep scan mode (particularly for URLs), it can find any bookmark instantly. buku can look up the latest snapshot of a broken link on the Wayback Machine. There's an Easter egg to revisit random forgotten bookmarks too! Buku is too busy to track you: no hidden history, obsolete records, usage analytics or homing.
That might be the only way, which is kind of sad, till they patch that loophole, if it's not already patched.

Might also be a startup idea: AGPL servers as a Service. Someone else runs it for you, you make requests against it.
That’s a pretty good question. And likely there won’t be a definitive answer until there’s a decision from court.

I think in these cases one should try to understand what the IPR holder had in mind when they picked AGPL and not for example GPL or Apache. Trying to find loopholes might just get you into trouble in future.

I take it you can't just run it through the preprocessor then count the lines of code that are output from that?
To randomly philosophize (probably as many have done), segregating TLDs to political units seemed like an arbitrary choice anyway, there are companies not in the US with ".com", or ".net", and why should foreigners have multiple dots like ".co.uk" and be denied ".com". Or in Germany everyone just uses $DOMAIN.de, so you can't tell if it's a government or commercial institution.

The only segregation that made a lot of sense was ".gov" and ".mil", so users could tell they were the real deal.

I'm going to offer an opinion not matching the groupthink here.

I think this is a great project... many of us gather intelligence on various targets and threats by hand, because we're used to doing that, and it's the way we've always done it, and it works.

A system of automation is more thorough and more complete as well as speeding up the process, allowing for more searches in less time.

Sure, the software isn't perfect, but it's better than almost anything else in terms of being more of a product and less of a toolkit. It's open source, so if you think a data source like Facebook is missing, feel free to add it in.

Well done, I say.
