Am I totally missing something with this startup?

They're doing primary survey-based market research that has been done for many, many years. This isn't a "new" thing CMOs are doing - they've been doing it forever and are inundated with survey data.

On the low end there are over 400 DIY survey tools for free/low cost to run "beautiful and engaging" surveys with customers, while on the higher end there are companies like Qualtrics and SurveyMonkey Enterprise/CX that serve enterprises perfectly fine.

Not to mention, their landing page feels a lot like they're "mugging" their survey respondents (a term in the market research industry that is short for "marketing under the guise of market research" - a huge no/no and ethical violation in the industry).

The only difference here is it's a founder under age 25 and P&G threw some money into it. Oh, and they made up the buzzword of "declared data" so they could "own" a term (must have an advisor from Hubspot on their board or something).

Am I just missing what makes this at all different from the countless other companies doing exactly this?
F# seems to also be used quite a bit.
Own answer to 2: So all existing TLDs are by default "pre-reserved".

Secondly, the 100k top Alexa sites refers to the inability to register a ".whatever" if that "whatever.some_tld" is in top 100k Alexa. So, basically this is "pre-reserving" "gTLD".

In my first impression, these 2 things were somehow correlated.

A reverse approach would lose exception details; you cannot recover what exactly happened from a mere boolean and you may need it.

This is what I kept thinking while reading the article. Currency always evolves, it just might not look like currency at first. As someone else said, wheat and copper were popular for a long time.

I remember way back when Diablo 2 was big, in-game gold was essentially worthless as it was so common. So players started using bushels of a somewhat-rare and generally useful magic ring as currency.

I just joined a team that is partially distributed and noticed that they always use video collab software (team.video) to join a call. Even when 8 people are in the same room and only 1 person is remote - everyone sits in the office with their headphones to do standup, pairing, etc. So, I'd say that the team needs to be remote friendly and actively find tools, ways to make the remote team members feel heard and more integrated with the team.

> first line as the PR title and the rest as description

> exactly the same mechanism as git uses for "git commit"

That's not how git commit works. git commit opens $EDITOR and makes a list of lines (sans commented-out lines) from that. The first line being a title is only convention, whereas in a github PR it's a formal element of the system.
I’m sorry if I misunderstood you. I’m indeed interested in what from all you wrote is then what you would suggest to be changed, as I also looked at his code and also read here that it was done in short time so I also believer there are possibilities for improvement. Specifically, reimplementing sha calculation itself should be a non goal, in my opinion. Just that the .sh code itself works on all POSIX shells, not that the whole system has to be POSIX only: calculating sha in shell is surely not the point of demonstrating how git works.

> I do not need or want my phone to be my primary media device. I have an ipad for that.

It might be partly that I have big hands, so despite smaller phones being more comfortable to hold, big phones aren't that bothersome for me.

Maybe because of that, I would never buy a tablet. My phone can do more than a tablet can, so getting a tablet would just be paying twice for no reason. If my phone doesn't suffice for something, that's where my laptop comes in. With a phone and a laptop in hand, a tablet is very much useless to me.
I don't think that lack of incentive is the primary reason that software is so unreliable. It might be part of the reason, maybe even a significant part, but not more than that.

I suspect that software is just ridiculously hard. The complexity ceiling for programming is insanely high, and there is very little tolerance for oversights. If I'm designing a drill for instance, I don't have to consider every possible use the drill will be put to. I can just overbuild the crap out of it, and cover 95% of my bases.

Can you think of an analogous man made thing that is as inherently complex and fragile as a major distributed system?

And importantly it never really stops. As soon as a reliable solution to a problem has been discovered we immediately use it to build a billion complex new systems on top of it.

And testing is hard.

And programmers rarely get to truly specialize. We spend a great deal of time learning on the go because it would be nearly impossible to truly be an expert in a field where the tools and goals change so rapidly.

I'm sure I could come up with more if I kept thinking about it.

While I think that blindness is self-analyzing, that's not true for schizophrenia.

So how many blind people were evaluated for schizophrenia?

This might actually be a lower percentage than for normal-seeing persons. People are less experienced with the behavior of blind people, so it's harder for surrounding people (and probable even for the blind themselves) to recognize it and push people to go get diagnosed.

Labour in NL is extremely high risk. You can be on the line for paying a salary for two years if someone is ill. No matter the cause of the illness or the length of service (yes, one day of service is enough).

One thing I didn't see mentioned about creating software is that the tools and the systems often have serious problems to begin with, even before you start writing a program.

Some well known examples are:

- major programming languages such as C don't do enough to help with memory safety issues

- lack of explicit types in python function arguments can lead to surprising bugs which recur again and again

- operating systems and platforms, such as different web browsers, adhere to widely different conventions about how dependencies on other libraries and code is managed
Nope, the mass of the lever doesn't play in to the torque that is applied at all. All that matters is that the force be transmitted via atom-to-atom motion. It's the rigidity of the wrench that mediates that, not its mass.

Of course, to create rigid objects, practically speaking they need to be made of something that will have mass. So the rigidity and the mass are related in a very loose sense. In any case, from a Newtonian physics perspective, you'll see none of those terms in there - neither a "rigidity" nor a mass. The torque is simply the length of the wrench multiplied by the magnitude of the force.

In a more detailed analysis, you might consider the flexure of the wrench by analyzing the stress and strain inside the wrench. That would no longer treat the wrench as a perfect idealized body that is completely rigid, but rather a body that can stretch based on the internal compressive or tensile forces that arise inside of it. Sometimes we don't think of metals as being stretchy, but with enough force, they're not so different from a rubber band.

With all that said, once you consider the _dynamics_ of the situation - how the forces applied give rise to motion - then mass does come into play. If you apply torque to a wheel, that will cause an angular acceleration proportional to the mass of the wheel. If you were using a wrench to spin a gear, then the mass of the gear decides how fast it will start to spin. Also, the mass of the wrench matters here, since presumably it will be spinning too: some of your effort has to go into angularly rotating the wrench. So it would have a "parasitic" effect on how fast you could get your gear spinning.
It's the distance that matters. If you push a car it will speed up. If you push it twice as far it will speed up more.

If you apply the same force using a longer lever then the end of the lever moves further (it follows a bigger circle) so you are applying the same force over a bigger distance.

I think the author here somewhat poisoned the well by starting with Clausewitz’s annoyance at the trope of invoking ancient history. The fact is, Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, Thucydides, and the rest are simultaneously both best understood within their historical context while simultaneously being timeless. How can that be? In the words of a devoted student of military history, James Mattis:

“Ultimately, a real understanding of history means that we face NOTHING new under the sun. For all the “4th Generation of War” intellectuals running around today saying that the nature of war has fundamentally changed, the tactics are wholly new, etc, I must respectfully say. “Not really”. Alexander the Great would not be in the least bit perplexed by the enemy that we face right now in Iraq, and our leaders going into this fight do their troops a disservice by not studying (studying, vice just reading) the men who have gone before us.”

> The reason we still read these people at all (Thucydides, Machievelli, Clausewitz, Sun Tzu, etc) is because their work transcends "the historical and cultural milieu of its origination".

Yes and no. IIRC, Sun Tzu strongly advises against attacking walled cities. The edition of Sun Tzu that I read made the point that reason for that was because, at his time, siege engine technology was not up to the task. In Sun Pin, written a few hundred years later, the advice changed.

There's a core there that does transcend "the historical and cultural milieu of its origination," but you kinda need to tether the text to its milieu to find it.

In blockchains, there is a difference between consensus and policy. The way that the Handshake recursive resolver works is not based on consensus. This means that people can insert rules for delegating a particular request to ICANN or to the Handshake authoritative resolver. It currently checks the Handshake authoritative resolver first, then falls back to ICANN.

If this behavior is easily configurable/shared and open source, then people can opt into whatever configuration that best suites their needs.
Things like tally sticks for tracking debt were used, absent and before currency, it seems. Pretty widely. IIRC (it's been a while since I read Debt) the book asserts that very small tribal or family economies likely worked the way you describe, with informal, mental tallies of debts, and as communities got just a bit larger physical tallies took over, persisting for some time. A consequence of this is that debt isn't surely "less real" or less essential/natural than money, nor even newer, but in fact more real, more essential or natural (so to speak), and older.

The mass of the lever just adds or subtracts from any other external force(s) applied to the lever - depending on the direction of the external force relative to the direction of gravity.

So a heavy wrench is helpful when pushing down, while loosening a rusty nut. But a light carbon fibre wrench would be better when pulling up.

How much torque gravity adds or subtracts in that case is also dependent on the distribution of mass along the length of the lever.

And to add to the fun, the mass of the leaver does add momentum into the equation, which comes into play as extra work required when changing speed of the rotation (e.g. starting, stopping the turn). And how much momentum also depends on the distribution of mass along the length of the lever.
That's an interesting team page.

Conversely, on public transit you can engage in other activities. When I take the train to work, it takes twice as long but I'm able to catch up on e-mails, take a nap, read a book, watch a show, etc. That's not possible while driving so I view it as a net time gain.

Because roads for all those cars take space as well. In a low density city it isn't a big deal (other than the expense of building all the roads), but as you move up the density levels your roads start to get full. Parking structures are common, and a useful part even the densest cities. They don't solve all the problems though and so are not a solution or even a mitigation.

Then what's this paragraph in the FAQ about?

> Existing TLDs and over 100,000 Alexa websites are reserved on the Handshake blockchain. Upon removing collisions, generic, and exclusions (e.g. 1 or 2 character names), approximately 80,000 names remain. Using the root key and DNSSEC, domain owners can cryptographically prove ownership to the Handshake blockchain to claim names.

Does Handshake control existing (`.com`, `.org`, etc.) domain names or don't they? If they do, then what happens when a DNS entry in Handshake's roots contradicts what's in the ICANN roots? If Handshake wins conflicts, then that breaks the internet for existing users.

Brand is a proxy for the level of functionality delivered by that brand.

People didn't switch to GMail because it was a "cool" brand, they switched because the spam filtering worked, Google gives you a ton of free space (a problem at the time), and it didn't have obtrusive banner ads. This was passed on by word of mouth, and now GMail is popular.
