In short, yes. Elites will support deregulation, when it suits/benefits them.

The Trump Administration’s environmental deregulation drive is no doubt lobbied for, backed by, and funded in part by the Fossil Fuel industry.
fail2ban works by monitoring logs.

If you had installed for example your web server on a container, the logs will be on the container. Fail2ban on the host won’t be able to parse the ones inside the container (by default, needs more work).

Those are two ways to phrase the same thought, yes, but there are things about raising corporate debt which don't necessarily line up 1:1 with expectations consumers might have about borrowing money.

One example, which is de rigeur for raising debt via bond issuance or for very large loans from banks, is "covenants" (restrictions on your future behavior for the duration the debt is in place), which may foreclose your ability to do things you'd otherwise want to do or may cause those things to become more costly than you'd otherwise expect them to be.

A few trivial examples of covenants: "Here's $50 million, but if you ever have less than $5 million in the bank, you're in default." or "Here's $50 million, but if your net cash burn ever exceeds $5 million in a quarter, you're in default." or "Here's $50 million, but if you need any more money, it has to come from us at whatever pricing we decide to make available. If you issue debt or equity elsewhere, you're in default."

You very urgently do not want to default.

One can imagine other features. Historically, the downside protections for debt investors in startups were extremely toothy [0]. This is one reason startups have been askance about raising debt historically. (Another reason is that VCs, who invest to get equity, tell founders "Please don't get money from my competitors", generally not in exactly those words.)

[0] This is a polite way to say "They routinely were written to wipe out all common equityholders like e.g. employees and founders."
I'm also in Ed tech space so I guess I am biased...but essentially:

1. Comprehensive curriculum. If I am going to spend time on your service I want to be able to get a working knowledge of the subject. Far too many Ed tech projects are simply an "intro" to the subject. The first chapter should be the intro while the rest is actually learning how to apply the knowledge or skill. Quality is key here. You are better off having the best online cyber security course rather than a collection of 10 average courses.

2. Interesting content. The content needs to be interesting, entertaining or engaging. Video and interactive content is key her (codecademy and the math content on Khancademy nails this). Bonus points if your interactive content is custom written for the subject.

3. A way for the learner to self-evalute skills or knowledge. Great, I read your chapter and learned a lot but did I really master the concepts in the chapter? I won't know unless I am able to take some exercises and get some feedback on my work. You would be surprised how many online courses have none of this or very poorly designed.

4. Analytics on my performance. I need to know if I am mastering the content. Bonus points if the platform/course tells me how to improve or what to study next.

5. Discussions. I need some way to discuss with others about the subject. Make sure trolls and spam are kept far away.

6. Design needs to be logical and user friendly. I should be able to learn very quickly how to use the site. All advanced settings in a separate page (settings dashboard).

7. Mobile friendly (especially for high end devices).

8. No progress locking content.

9. Prefer free over paid. Freemium model is also good. For any pay to use features or content you better bring serious value to the table.

10. Prefer to give less personal information. Why exactly do you need my date of birth, home address, phone number, name of my first born etc. You get the point.

11. Multiple paths to learning the content - textbook style (blocks of text), interactive video, interactive text efc.
I'm not sure "Want a raise? Start stealing!" is the greatest incentive structure...
> The definition komali2 is using seems to be a pretty standard expert definition.

It's an activist propaganda definition created specifically to excuse black (specifically black, though of course it incidentally has since been used for other groups) bigotry against whites (again, specifically, though it incidentally can excuse bigotry by blacks and others against other targets, as well).

It's perverse in practice and intent, because the mere acceptance of the definition as correct and it's narrowed concept of “racism” as meaningful creates exactly the kind of social privilege for those perceived as being disadvantaged that makes it possible for them to be racist by that narrowed definition, and that's the whole propaganda purpose of activists promoting the definition.

It's much better to use the standard definition of racism while understanding that the positions of power (both relative and absolute) of the racist(s) are impact multipliers (as positions of power are for anything, racism is hardly unique).
Gmail had disastrous ui change many years ago where they replaced most text buttons with icons. They had to backpedal quickly. With that said, there's some benefit to icon. If there's third choice of using icon and text together (for certain actions), I'd use the combo.
Thanks for the feedback.
In other platforms it is really hard to find a match because the biggest reason to be able to match is your appearance. For example; even the good-looking guys cannot get match in Tinder lately. Even the appearance isn't enough to get to talk to people.
In Blurry Chat you need to have a good conversation to reveal the person you talk to. The conversation you have will be the key point to your journey.

I think aiming for YC long term is smart, but YC doesn't really take ideas anymore as far as I know. To increase your odds of getting in you still need to do all the things that you would do anyway: build a prototype, get some users (preferably paid). You have to show the ability to execute to get YC on board these days.
Strangely, your articles largely agree with the summary of the article you're criticizing and don't really contradict it at all.

The articles you link say that it's not exclusively due to climate change (which is a superset of ocean warming), that doesn't mean climate change is a negligible contributor to the problem. And as the temperatures rise its contribution may rise.

In fact the second article itself says that climate change directly causes some of that N:P imbalance.

At face value, maybe. But it's worth noting that this administration tried to stop the AT&T-Time Warner merger while suggesting that it would go through if Time Warner divested itself of CNN. I supported the action, but not the reasons why- it was a legislative hurdle that aimed to take out a source of journalism that was critical of the administration.

That in turn has colored my opinion of any antitrust action this administration takes, and I wouldn't be shocked if this action had some sort of corrupted subtext as well. I wouldn't trust this administration to perform antitrust actions for the sake of antitrust actions, but rather for some sort of ancillary benefits.
It's interesting that in your other comment you referenced another paper for a higher IFR although in this reference the model suggested 0.07%. So what do you believe? A higher total infection with a much lower IFR, or a higher IFR? Or you just pick papers that support your viewpoint for the sake of argument?

What do you mean by "at the level of doing reflow"? Techniques like this demonstrate that "the level" of doing reflow is much more attainable by resource-constrained hackers than people sometimes think.

Many years ago, when my personal time-vs-money tradeoff was different, I made a number of surface mount PCBs by doing reflow over an ordinary candle or paraffin lamp. I would balance the PCB on a piece of metal shim to act as a heat spreader and keep the board from getting sooty. It worked really quite well up to a couple square inches — the trick was learning how to follow a preheat profile to keep the small passives from tombstoning.

maybe? sometimes (often?) a debt-raise at this level comes with options to convert to equity if it turns out to be desirable. So unlike a bank loan (where the bank most certainly doesn't want to be your partner) a debt raise might end up with someone like Warren Buffet owning a sizeable part of your company.

Correct. However as you borrow more and more it often goes from a b2b lend-borrow transaction to syndicates etc where many people lend to a pool which gets borrowed — or a bond which gets marketed by a banker to bond buyers (lenders).

There’s such a thing as professional compartmentalization. If you don’t like a colleague‘s/vendor’s/customer’s/government’s behavior you can(but not necessarily should) quarrel about that and that only, when you start to act as if a slight(however large you perceive it to be) is enough to blockade all relations in everything you do together, the initiator looks weak. A decision to halt all relations has far reaching impacts, if you are a business it almost always effects your employees and could easily effect your customers. If you are a government it effects both country’s citizens and possibly others as well. If it is between colleagues it effects everyone below you.

In the case of Barr or Trump, we are talking about effectively shuttering government progress/modernization. What does this serve? We don’t get these months/years back, the beat of progress marches on regardless. It’s unreasonable to think that we are just a few years away from a sweeping blue tide of progressives(or a red tide of conservatives under Obama) that are going to have the whole of congress on their side to make huge reforms, or whatever it is that would make the USG quickly modernize. Our system of governance stalls with sort of behavior, and it only really serves entrenched interests, if anyone.
As a historical fun fact, Sweden was also the first country in Europe to adopt paper money. They needed more currency but didn't have access to the Americas and its precious metals to mint coins.

Currently, 1 US Dollar is worth around 10 Swedish Kroner. Both currencies ultimately started out equally at 1oz silver, but since Sweden could easily just print more, they couldn't contain themselves and caused a 4x inflation in the 1700s (the other ~2.5x is since WW2).

I happened to have a long discussion on the topic of data businesses last night with a friend. We brainstormed datasets that would be a combination of hard/expensive to obtain while also having resell ability to thousands of customers who would be willing to pay a high value for them. I don't want to get involved in datasets that are easy to obtain (too many competitors, no bar to entry) or datasets specific to a particular company (too much dependence on a small set of customers, cost of acquiring new customers also includes cost of acquiring data, no economy of scale).

It's easy to start with the tech problem: how to collect, clean and analyze data. But reasoning backwards from the business side is much more difficult. Expensive data I can sell once feels easy. Cheap data I can sell frequently feels like a race to the bottom. Expensive data I can re-sell 1000s of times to a niche audience feels like a perfect middle ground ... I just can't think of any examples.
Side note: I’m kind of shocked that they dropped the isomorphic style for the icons. That was a truly... iconic! aspect of the BeOS visual language. And quite modern in my opinion!

The pixel-perfectness of the UI was also iconic. If it were me, I’d go back to isomorphic and go deep on a rigorous system-wide grid. You can still do vector icons but be meticulous about the grid.
I agree with you 100% about current Internet content providers. And I wouldn't miss them if they disappeared.

Yup. We focus on financial services, so time series data is a key requirement / capability.

There are nuances — like static vs dynamic distributions and whether the downstream model is actually just aggregating anyway.

How to keep culture while scaling
well, you answered your own question - bootstrap it yourself. i know exactly where you're at, unfortunately.

my advice is - go with backend as api and separate frontend. define the api(protobuf+swagger plugin, not raw anonymous json because you will get lost in fluid schema later on and with 10+ routes you will go crazy without schema) and strict interfaces. so you know how data will flow. just pure basics, not all the functionality you have in your mind/vision. avoid DRY, copy code all over the place, go with kiss and most importantly YAGNI. use tech you know, not what is fancy right now.

then proceed to implement it in the fastest way possible. the end result should be a MVP with the worst code you can imagine. I myself have never been able to execute it, unfortunately. Each programmer strives for perfection which in this stage means time wasted not delivering the end product. I am certain that this way, no matter the size of the project, you should be able to produce something usable within 3 months.

You WILL be struggling with authN but mostly authZ(unsolved problem) so go for the simplest solution you can think of.

Next important thing is to do a monolith first. NO EXCEPTION. Forget microservices or SOA at this stage. I too fell into this trap and kinda keep repeating this mistake over and over. People like to use too much abstraction. Just brute-force it.

Then make sure you run one single VPS. No cloud, not kubernetes, no docker, nothing. Run it as close to metal as possible without any infra mumbojumbo fancy scheduler...tech..whatnot. And avoid cloud VPS. Look at OVH, Hetzner, DO or whatever. Just not cloud VPS because they are crazy expensive. Don't go for bare metal just yet(and avoid cloud altogether, it will bankrupt you in the long run, bare metal is where it's at).

Once you get the MVP up and running, look for first paid customer(s) and listen to their feedback. That feedback is free and no one else can give you better information than actual users. Also don't bother promoting the project on forums looking for people to test it for free. That is a dead end, trust me. Spend few bucks on some basic presentation page and some ads. Most notably it should be immediately clear on the website what your product does. I'd say 80% of companies these days fail at this horribly.

When you take payments, always upfront and annually will be better than monthly.

Once you get there, let us now :)

Good luck soldier.
For me the only acceptable (and even desirable) restriction is to protect against privatisation/closing up free software. So basically what GPL already does or any strong copyleft license. This way free software is even more strongly free as in freedom, other wise with other restrictions it actually weakens the freedom part.
Yes, because the security from using Gmail is higher than what you will get for running your own server.

Because Gmail does all of those things, and spends more money and effort making sure they do it correctly than you will over your lifetime.

If you have secrets where you believe that, say, a government will extrajudicially lean on Google to access them, theres am equally, or even higher likelihood that you misconfigured something somewhere and leaked your data.
One thing this makes me wonder is whether you can make a mechanical lock that doesn't leak information this way. It seems likely to me but I don't have the right intuitions to argue about it.

If you do, is it essentially always because it's a mechanical implementation of a digital system?
I certainly have. But this system is not designed like them.
> Why would machine code be the right level of abstraction for a vision or robotics problem?

That code would be used to calculate the output function and the transition function of the automaton. At first, as the automaton tries some action and receives a reaction, those functions are constructed accordingly in plain movs and cmps with jmps (suppose x86 ISA here). Then a whole machine code of all actions-reactions is optimized by arithmetic rules, loop rolling and unrolling, etc, so its size is reduced. That optimization may include some hypotheses about Don't Care values of the functions too, which will be corrected in future passes, if they turn out to be wrong... Imagine that code running on something like Thomas Sohmers' Neo processor or Sunway SW26010.

Yeah, it is completely different to Neural Nets. I posted it here because I feel the urge to popularize the idea : ) I am a dilettante in machine learning actually.
