> Few recruiting messages are as powerful (when true) as “the world needs this, it won’t happen any time soon if we don’t do it, and we are much less likely to succeed if you don’t join.”

This line would work on me if it the founder(s) and I were in the same boat. But when you have 20% and you won't even tell me what percent of the company my X shares are worth, your pitch only makes me thing "I'm less likely to be rich if you don't slave away for a really long time (and I might be a few million if we're modestly successful, and in that scenario you probably won't get anything)". When startup equity distribution becomes more like a pirate ship, where everybody gets X, and the captain gets 2X, then I'll buy into the "we're all in this together" pitch.
Love the "make beats with your voice" tagline, it's simple and effective. The demo video on the landing page makes me think on an idea: why not allow recording a video of your face while you record your vocal beat? It seems people are using TikTok as a mean of physical expression (through dance, mostly) and maybe your app could grow a subculture through the same dynamics?

Curious to see the final version!

I was imagining that some big money quant fund had written bots and scrapers to use r/wsb as an algorithmic amplifier since over time they can make money on tiny shifts. Or maybe that would just make a good movie plot.

The real question is what has Apple done to prevent people from using a $10 set of four plain black nylon casters instead of the $550 official casters with the brushed aluminum "Apple look"--that are still missing a very basic feature of a $20 set of furniture casters.

Even the fancy ball casters with faux-antique bronze finish and soft rubber treads are only about $12 each. A heavy-duty top-plate caster, with solid nylon wheel and dual ball bearings, and brake--all the bells, and all the whistles--might run $30 each.

It's so audaciously greedy that it's insulting to people who wouldn't even consider buying it.

You could even put your Mac in a top-of-the-line toddler stroller for $300, and that would be forward compatible with your next crazily-pampered desktop computer.
Not just the diligence. Also the time post investment to mentor the founders and deal with various problems that crop up over the year. No startup older than a year or two that hasn't seen at least one major crisis that could have killed the company (and in many cases it does).
I think panic, chaos and social disruption are a more imminent threat than the virus itself at this point. As such I've stocked up on basic household food and supplies so that I don't have to go out into that chaos if it hits. The last thing I want is to be stuck in a huge queue at a petrol (gas) station, or getting punched out over the last turnip at the supermarket. Being prepared means I am one less person contributing to that chaos, one less person driving like a maniac on the roads desperately looking for toilet paper.
gray-700 isn't really 70% gray though, it's a darker gray than gray-600 and a lighter gray than gray-800. It also contains a bit more blue in it, which is actually quite common to do with gray.

In reality I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't alter it directly either and that if you do, you would try to keep the 10 versions of it somewhat linear, or at least consistent with the use that you do of it. Theses colors are there for prototyping quickly yet still offering good looking result. Sure "color: gray" works, but look at the colors choices [1], it's much better than the default gray and offer more choice than lightgray, gray and darkgray without having to do math over #808080.

Thank you for pointing at validation, I'll check it. It's not completely clear what is it possible to limit not only particular document but database, or how to handle conflict if document changed on pouch, but rejected on couchdb server.

I'm not sure about current time but previously it was a problem that couchdb file grow until some limit on filesystem and couchdb just crashed.

Start of the envoy readme: it's not battle tested or supported in any way. Also it doesn't do any validation apart from limiting permissions for different users.

It's easier to reimplement couchdb than to create smart proxy that will estimate is this query expensive or not.

I'm not saying about rate-limiting proxy or load-balancing to different backends which could be implemented on nginx or something else.
I've worked on both sides of that, I think you'd be surprised. I also suspect that it's worse at the TLAs and any organization with access to FBI, license plate and various criminal databases. Obviously CCard databases and stuff are off limits as their use is outright fraud, but stuff like traffic cameras, imaging systems, etc.

Check the wiki history, there's an edit war ongoing.
The industrial revolution wasn't created by Capitalism, you can say it was created by proto-Capitalism, or just Mercantilism. The Industrial Revolution in almost every country was spurred on by massive government subsidies and nationalized infrastructural projects, not by anything laissez faire. Even in America where the railroads are all privatized, most of those were built during the Civil War when we nationalized the railroads and telegraphs, paid for them with taxes, used them for the war effort, and then gave them all back. Then even before that, the first factories in the U.S. were government subsidized projects called the S.U.M. in Paterson, NJ.

We also have to consider how many of us come from the poorer side of the the human ancestral tree. Not many. Seems to me that each generation comes predominantly from the wealthier quartile of the last generation, so you may be biased towards thinking everything is working out, because the chance of you progenating from someone who was devastated by the great depression is unlikely -- Sort of like how the Bubonic plague kick-started the Renaissance. Half the population dies, the other half kept all their stuff and boom, economic progress from a plague -- So let's not be to hasty to believe that just because a system is leading toward prosperity just because we're alive and we have lots of stuff. And definitely don't think that we know what we're doing and it's working because literally anything would lead to more people being alive and having lots of stuff. A super volcano eruption would lead to an unpopulated, profitable and fertile region for the surviving group of people to acquire and multiply.
Other than being a great solution for some problems I wanted to highlight the fact that CouchDB has commited to SpiderMonkey (the Mozilla JS engine) since the very beginning and is one of the few projects helping to fend away the V8 monoculture.

Parent's "wealth for all" does not mean "wealth for each."

Of course taxing the wealthiest to share with everyone results in the wealthiest having less than they would otherwise, which is why they tend not do do so voluntarily.

However, if it makes most people better off, and makes society as a whole better off, then maybe it's worth it for the government to force their most-successful citizens away from their selfish instincts to the betterment of the nation?
There are also layers of pattern matching, particularly in creative work. Take for example bluegrass guitar improvisation, something I've been working at intensely lately. In order to play a single note, there are several pattern matches going on at once. First, there's the original song melody and harmonic structure. The notes of the improvisation need to reflect that base - the distance the improvisation extends from the melody/harmony without breaking it is an emotional quality. And this is a moving target! That melody goes by FAST... bluegrass is often played at tempos exceeding 200bpm.

So on one level, I'm following the melody/harmony. On another level, I'm inventing (or remembering?) substitutions that can work over that melody and harmony. On another level, I'm thinking about the overall flow of the improvisation, and how to achieve my artistic goals, express the feelings and ideas I have at the moment. On yet another level, I'm being purely technical - like making my hand slightly roll to play a downstroke on the E string followed by an upstroke on the B string without accidentally hitting the E string twice. On another level, I'm listening to the other musicians, with whom I'm generating a shared tempo, and who are also improvising, generating new ideas I can respond to while playing.

That's expertise. Being able to work on all this patterns simultaneously, some being totally orthogonal to others (like "roll my hand" vs "play a sixth instead of a fifth to imply relative minor").
That's a good question. My first thought was, "We didn't". But that's really just pessimistic memories speaking. My second thought was, "A perpetual state of stress and fear!". Also pessimistic memories, but closer to the truth.

In reality, we had initial seed funding for about a year. We had a number of goals we had established, including vacuum chamber, getting the ion source running, first beam, first neutrons. We fell way behind in the first six months because I made the stupid decision to try to build a duoplasmatron ion source to save money. This cost us about 4 months to make a shitty ion source that was full of leaks and barely usable. Luckily the experienced electrical engineer came up with an RF ion source bought used that did the job well enough. We actually ended up meeting all of our 1st year goals in just over a year if I recall correctly.

By that time the money was running out, so DFJ basically extended the funding by issuing us convertible debt in 3 month increments. Every three months we would have a set of goals mutually agreed upon by the board, which was two of us and Tim Draper. This was pretty stressful for us, as we were living paycheck to paycheck and we had no idea if we didn't meet a goal if Draper would pull the plug. Tim was never anything but supportive but we understood the point of milestones. That is also when things got technically difficult, as everything we had done before was using existing techniques but when we went off-the-map things slowed down a lot.

That went on for about 3 years. Basically the same dynamic as software guys tend to see in the classic death-march sprint. I blame leadership (myself).

Eventually we ran up against some hard limits that wouldn't work with our design. We faced a choice between making an expensive bet on a supersized ion source (an inelegant brute force solution, which I know now would not have worked) or a new risky design (which also would not have worked). Tim was in favor of the brute force design, because he saw that as money being the barrier. I had my doubts about the brute force design, and I didn't want to waste the money on something that would only fix one of the 3 major problems we faced. I tried building the long-shot design. Then a piece of plastic got into the main turbopump and it ate itself. The 2000 market crash happened. Everything fell apart.

I'm fine with regulating drug use. What I object to very strenuously is that the government should regulate my experiences in life and that I should be jailed for trying something new. Every argument against drugs boils down to anecdotes plus an argument lumping the many functional drug users in with the guy OD'ing on the corner. In fact the guy OD'ing on the corner is not the tip of the iceberg.

Drugs don't frequently destroy lives, but the cops do so regularly when enforcing those laws. They take houses, cars, money, and time away from people. They take your children and brand you for the rest of your life as a criminal. Someone who is 21 has an entire life ahead of them. Are you really advocating that that kid be prosecuted, jailed, and branded simply because they chose an intoxicant that you don't approve of?

> They held the most dangerous, violent prisoners, and of course, kept them locked down for security reasons.

How valid is that argument? It seems like you could use it to justify doing anything to them.

The link you gave specifies:

> Norman Carlson, director of the Bureau of Prisons at the time of the Marion incident, said that ordering the permanent lockdown was the only way to deal with "a very small subset of the inmate population who show absolutely no concern for human life."

Do I understand that everyone was potentially added 23 years to their sentence because of a few inmates they had nothing to do with? And the justification you give is that they're all dangerous, so it's ok?

I imagine that seeing them as dangerous and violent comes from the crimes they committed that put them there. Is there no expectation at all that they would rehabilitate with their time there?

I wonder how the US compares on these matters (especially the public expectation of rehabilitation) with other countries (re: "US justice system has serious flaws" as jonathanstrange put it).
Finding the right VC can be quite challenging, and pairing up with the wrong VC can kill you. It's a real problem and nobody - that I'm aware of - has solved this in a way that it works repeatedly and reproducible.
The problem is if hospitals are overrun, the death rate becomes much higher. I think there is a 10 to 15 percent hospitalization rate. We don't have enough beds if enough get infected at once.
It's a great idea that I'm sure some people would want. It doesn't have to be a "startup"
By the article's own definition, "expertise" as just pattern matching/recognition is too simplistic... that leaves out the "action" part mentioned in the article. e.g. an expert violin player better be able to play damn well to be called an expert. You have to add practice/work to the mix, not just pattern recognition.

Being an "expert" is great as a goal, but it's not the only be all end all. I'm reminded of a plaque from schoellkopf power station that said:

to know what to do... wisdom
to know how to do it... skill
to do the thing as it should be done... service

> I consider single-opt-in use of email addresses to be a dark pattern or anti-pattern

This is wrong.

I want to be able to enter an email address and get a newsletter. This is good UI/UX blah

There is nothing dark about helping a user using single opt in. Single opt in is great and preferred.

But because of the world we live in, as you explain well, we have to make everyone's lives a PiTA by securing it.

It might be a anti-pattern collecting emails to easily, since the Spam Bots might punish you because of bad actors, which reduces your email reach.

But it's also a anti-pattern to think double opt in is normal. If you can get away with not doing it, then don't. ie. I see idiots doing it in corporate settings or after having paid money
Thanks dang, that makes sense! Thanks for including the thought behind it as well.

I'm not that informed about geology, but as far as I understand, earthquakes are not independent random events but a result of stress accumulation on faultlines over time and released in sudden bursts i.e. earthquakes; and if a particular faultline has not had a release in a long time, then this means that when it happens, the next earthquake is likely to be stronger.
From the abstract:

"This suggests that the recent dramatic fading observed at visual wavelengths is due mostly to local surface phenomena, such as changes in dust extinction or molecular opacity along the line of sight through the inner wind and complex atmosphere, and/or surface temperature fluctuations."
It also requires that the incentive for Amazon to go after fake reviews to be greater than their benefit from them plus the effort involved.
I think the key difference is that you can't use conditionals in style attributes. For example responsive variants, hover, focus, etc.

`text-sm lg:text-lg` is something you simply can't do in style attributes.

`text-gray-700` or `color: var(--mycolor-gray);` is indeed not _that_ much different. (I'm using CSS variables here to achieve the same as Tailwind variables.)
Can apple legally enforce this? If it is that is pretty petty on Apple's part.

But the problem is there are some things that needed to be serialized for things like .NET remoting or firing stuff across appdomains. Things like Delegates.

Now, I -think- the intent, back in the day that ASP.NET was created, to use Code Access Security/Security Transparent Code (CAS/STC) to safely put a system like this together. But CAS/STC is pretty easy to do 'wrong' and a lot of people, rather than setting up the correct LinkDemands for individual items like Database, File IO, ETC on the specific endpoints, would just toss 'AllowPartiallyTrustedCallersAttribute' on the assembly and call it a day. This renders it CAS/STC almost worthless, to the point Microsoft half-killed this concept in Net 4.0 and in Core it's just about gone.
twitter employees have in the past been bragging in a bar about their ability to look at people's DMs and were recorded doing so.

I think you are right though. Google has great organic web results, but I find the most value I get from them today are the instant answers and additional structured information that they bring in. It's to the point where I rarely need to go to any website and can find what I am looking for without navigating away from Google. Long term I wonder of the viability of Google's method of obtaining and displaying the data with antitrust considerations, but that is an ancillary thought.

My goal is to ultimately mimic this with the "deep searching" feature. Today deep searches include Twitter, Wikipedia, IMDB, Stack Overflow, and Yelp results, but I have dozens of sites on my list to add, and I'm sure I am just scratching the surface.
