Thanks all for your feedback. I have removed the images to improve readability, especially for mobile users. The post was originally written for an internal blog where we have a GIF-heavy communication culture, and I probably should have cleaned it up a bit more for general public consumption.
I don't support the parent's use of name calling, but it is not necessarily the case that criticism of another's enthusiasm for a vender implies the critic also has enthusiasm for a vendor. Some of us dislike all of the dominant venders.

(Edit: And having the position that 'mere avoidable advertising' can be avoided is also not necessarily evidence of fanboyism)
I don't know if it's clear it will suck? You just advertised their company, it's the first time I ever heard of them. It's not like LightSpeed is an unheard of name? It's a stock trader, web filter, data warehousing company, and probably a million other things. Novel names are hard to come by.
You're not arguing for arrangement of government vs startups though, you're arguing for passion, determination, fortitude, and grit (and domain expertise, of course). The organizational structure (private vs public) is less important. Government can operate as efficiently as some of the leanest, most nimble startups, and private companies can operate as poorly as the worst run parts of government. I too can provide examples of private companies that are enormous, dysfunctional, and yet still lumber on (Boeing) similarly to how some parts of government have operated. The private sector is not a silver bullet for innovation and efficiency.

Regarding SpaceX, Elon Musk is a cult leader, and rightly so; he gets shit done (I have previously said he is our least terrible billionaire). Hire more people into government who get shit done, and get out of their way (see: US Digital Service/18F, for example).

Regarding bureaucracy, some amount of regulation is beneficial. "Most fast, break things" gets old when you're committing fraud like Theranos. If one desires a little less bureaucracy, that is what incubators like DARPA are for. Think of what horrors startups would foist upon us chasing valuations and profits without any regulation whatsoever.

The money isn't gone. Some bank has Rebekah's billion on its books and can lent it to whoever needs it. Many people have sold their real estate at a profit and now have the money to invest in startups.

The bottleneck are the people who can organize the vertical integrated healthcare system or the higher education. Whoever can organize such an endeavor can convince an angel investor to build a prototype and then expand by getting the VC money.

High-dose vitamin C enhances cancer immunotherapy
https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/12/532/eaay8707/

Takeaways:

Oral Vitamin C and intravenous Vitamin C have vastly different pharmacokinetics and effects on cancer.

- Low dose vitamin C (oral) is anti-oxidant and may attenuate chemotherapy:

Chemosensitizing effect of vitamin C in combination with 5-fluorouracil in vitro
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12929582
"only a high concentration of vitamin C increased the cytotoxicity of 5-FU"

Ascorbic acid attenuates antineoplastic drug 5-fluorouracil induced gastrointestinal toxicity in rats by modulating the expression of inflammatory mediators
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5598240/

- High dose vitamin C (intravenous) is pro-oxidant

- High dose vitamin C (intravenous) alone slows tumor growth

- High dose vitamin C (intravenous) combined with immunotherapy has a synergistic effect

High dose vitamin C (intravenous) also synergizes with chemotherapy and spares healthy cells
https://stm.sciencemag.org/content/6/222/222ra18

If you are in chemotherapy or immunotherapy, stay away from low doses of oral anti-oxidant supplements such as Vitamin C.

Love the concept & the idea! But why did go for MacOS / Swift instead of something cross-platform, such as Electron or Qt? Many devs outside of SV aren't using Macs.
Many device discovery protocols work by sending out broadcast or multicast packets (either to announce themselves to devices who might be listening or to request devices to send them data). These packets are expected to go out to either everyone on the same layer-2 network (the broadcast case) or everyone who has subscribed to a particular multicast address (the multicast case).

In addition to device discovery, these are frequently used for heartbeat messages to indicate that you are still alive (for high-availability protocols like VRRP).
Being reductive, hyperbolic and dismissive is in no way being realistic.

I never stated I'd die. I never stated I was fearful. It saved me from being subject to outside conditions that caused significant effects in my lungs and subsequent cognitive ability (hn is not where I reveal health issues in depth). My environment was significantly cleaner than any commercial air con. The month leading up to my purchase, I was increasingly forced indoors, where air con made a tiny difference (but not much). In those early days the air stank and was just very hazy. People with healthy lungs had no problem during that period. I wore carbon n95 masks everywhere (they're classed p2 here) outside.

As to the machine, it was supposedly rated for up to 70sqm which I highly doubt, which is why I also used a ceiling fan. It also has an air quality readout to ensure I was not self deceiving. I know enough about fans, filtration and flow rates to not be deceived by marketing hyperbole.

Guess they weren't ready for the massive amounts of requests coming from a world record market correction / recession. That, or they released a bunch of new features over the weekend.

Why we are building highly sensitive monetary performance based applications under the guise of agile and electron is beyond me.

The app market needs a market correction in design. IEEE, military, aerospace, or aviation design standardizing comes to mind.
Something maybe related but different is cultural divergence and ossification among home country and emigrant cultures and language.

Often the culture or language in the home country progresses but the emigrant version resists change or changes slower.

But it also depends on degree of assimilation by emigrants to the dominant culture in their adopted countries.

This is like saying my car's gas tank is a design flaw because I want to drive farther than my tank will allow. Increasing battery capacity means increasing the volume of the battery, which results in a phone that isn't as sleek. This isn't a design flaw, this is a tradeoff between form factor and battery capacity - just like how car designers have to make a tradeoff when selecting a fuel tank capacity.

The examples are, literally, every device that uses a lithium ion battery. Take any phone or tablet, repeatedly charge and discharge the battery fully (better yet, do so in a hot climate) and eventually it will not put out sufficient voltage. This will either trigger CPU throttling, or your device will start crashing. The iPhone was the most widely publicized example, but this is a fundamental issue with battery chemistry that all battery powered devices are subject to.
One could just as easily make the opposite complaint that WireGuard is receiving undeserved hype because it is just a tunneling protocol without a control plane.

The biggest question is whether or not their systems were able to execute margin calls. If they were down this long, that to me suggests data got corrupt and they've been restoring from backups, etc, which means maybe all their services were inactive. If that's the case then could the margin system be active, or are people (and potentially RH) sitting on oversized losses if they were short today? What happens tomorrow if their margins kick in and sell at the open, and then the market drops? Lots of very interesting questions that need to be answered.

I think a lot of the US cases don't have a clear chain of who got the virus from who, so there's probably a lot of people in the public at large who don't know they're infected (hopefully they think they have a cold and are staying home). However almost all of the US deaths happened at the same nursing home, so I think it's too early to make generalizations about death rates.

As I alluded to in the post, it's a legacy viewpoint. These customers hand you a 300+ security questionnaire that hasn't been updated in 10 years. When you tick the 'VPN' boxes, alarms sound, but they are thinking about the term 'VPN' in a different context, like employees accessing a network file share. But what we really have is a Bastion host (aka jump box), which is fundamentally different. By not saying you run VPN software, the conversations shift significantly, especially when dealing with the F100 banks and the like that may not be as familiar with modern cloud architectures.

If your org doesn't already have some sort of wiki or equivalent (we use Confluence here at my day job), that'd be the top priority. Make it as easy as possible for those high-bus-factor colleagues to get their thoughts in writing. Even if it's messy, as long as you're able to search page contents, it's better than nothing.
Using this logic the time to buy is now. If you're not timing the market just buy whenever you have the money and know what you want.

And it's a better time then two weeks ago, because basically everything is cheaper.

I will say though, if you are buying now, be prepared to take losses initially. This could keep going down.
> To rewrite such a large app must have cost a fortune. Going full native is probably going to increase the cost of future development as well.

it's a freakin chat app, and it's freaking facebook ! come on, people were doing full rewrites in entirely different languages of software insanely more complex than fb messenger back in the 90s and with near-zero tooling, eg from cobol to pascal to C or similar horrors.
> They covertly slow down your phone yo mask that it is defective and needs a new battery.

So Apple should have juts let iPhones with old batteries become unusable?

> Or design a phone with removable battery or at least a decent battery.

Increasing battery size means increasing phone size - and Apple wants the iPhone to be sleek. Removable batteries also have certain design implications that increase the bulk of the device. Apple's products are at the top end of the market, where form factor is more important than serviceability. Mercedes' are more laborious to service than Toyotas. iPhones are more laborious to service than cheaper devices.

For storage bins/boxes, I can recommended getting a couple KLT (Kleinladungsträger). It's an industry norm from the German automobile parts manufacturers, who use it for highly automated parts handling. They're ~8$ each for the large 60x40x28cm kind, have a reinforced (grid-structure) floor and they are strong. They easily stack to >100kg (not per-box though, which is rated at iirc ~35kg (edit: 20kg)), and have a slot for a DIN-A5 sheet on one long and one short side. They're ~2.8kg injection-moulded polypropylene, and thus survive quite aggressive chemical cleaning and boiling water. You're not supposed to fill them, but I'd guess you could do it anyways (e.g., filling with warm/hot water for soaking) if otherwise unloaded and resting on flat surface. It would contain ~60l, and thus almost twice the design load, but these are robust. I climb on them in storage, and the major risk is bending a wall outwards and then breaking it by inducing that bending load with the weight on my foot.

TL;DR: buy industrial boxes. Proper German KLT https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euro_container are really nice. I recommend R-KLT in blue (they don't look as bland as the grey ones).
Most required upgrades do not involve anything "busted". Weaknesses are often noticed long before any practical attacks are available. If you want to upgrade, say, Wireguard in such a case you would have to switch over the endpoints in pairs. Obviously that is going to be impossible in practice so the system will get backward compatibility grafted on in a fragile and dangerous way.

OpenPGP is an example of a case where relatively extreme backwards compatibility is required as old archived messages have to be accessible. But that isn't a problem because things are such that downgrade attacks are impossible. The list of desired methods is in the public key which is signed with itself. So downgrades are not always an issue.

Yeah, that functionality, and the presence of dupe detection when posting, is what makes it a surprise to me that when they let a "dupe" through that they don't use the existing functions to just list the past stories.
I agree with this take. You can prioritize things other than money, and that's some derived value for you. But fully agreed that your employer is not a good outlet for that passion. "Believing the dream" gets you screwed when you aren't paying attention.

(And even those pure-hearted, kind founders can lose control of their company after a bad raise.)
