Cloudlead – Personalized Prospecting at Scale
Hello, I'm Noman Siddiq, a startup founder. I started my career as a Sales Research Intern for a NY based firm while I was in college. Despite using multiple tools, I was unable to get solid contact data – this resulted in the sales team investing more time in fixing the data I was sourcing. A couple of years down the road, I went on to start a company that helped sales & marketing teams source custom data from multiple sources. The advantage was that our data was accurate up to 95% since we also introduced the concept of verified dials. The way I see it, the biggest problem in the market is following the trend of automated lead enrichment/data mining tools. While these are great, the info is still not accurate – remember, over 2.1% of a database expires every month.
As such, the key challenges in today’s data market are:
- Inaccurate data
- Data validated using a single source
- Incorrect intelligence on the company
- Pseudo contact & company data
To solve these problems, I formed Cloudlead. And to my surprise, I was able to acquire decent paying clients. In the last 3 years, Cloudlead has significantly grown in revenue and we have great customers signing up.I believe in bootstrapping vs fundraising. I initially managed to bring in customers over cold calls and emails, while adding more creative people in the team who helped get the word out. Meanwhile, I focus on maintaining customer relations. As expected, this strategy yields us a ton of referrals (the best type of leads in business).Now, at Cloudlead, we are building a solution that will automate 60% of our data sourcing, and connect our researchers and customers. However, we are in NO rush since we do NOT want to jeopardize the quality we pride ourselves on. We are on the lookout for companies that are struggling with their data needs. My team and I absolutely love a challenge – it helps us further our learning & development, and allows us to come up with custom solutions suited to each client’s needs.
I strongly disagree. To be able to understand anything on a deeper level, you need to have the “vocabulary” to explain the higher-level concepts. Memorization is not always trivia; it’s the lowest-level foundation of all learning.
Aside from self-evident truth, here's a study on just the impact of rising wages for the absolute lowest wage earners: https://mpra.ub.uni-muenchen.de/94238/1/MPRA_paper_94238.pdf

> I empirically analyze the causal impact of the minimum
wage increase on housing rents in the United States and Japan. In both countries, minimum wages hikes increase housing rents in urban areas: 10% minimum wage increase induces 1%-2% increase in the United States and 2.5%-5% increase in Japan.

Now imagine a 10% raise for every earner.

Can you refer to his model? Is it just that the number of cases doubles in 3 days?

I think it is an overestimate but not more than by 1 order of magnitude.

I think the network part of Kubernetes is hard todo right and it’s very complex.

Further more I ponder on the performance if you compare a local monolith service on metal with full local cpu cache vs a distributed network requests Microservices.

Anonymity can supply that effortlessly. Some will say it is just pseudonymity and no real anonymity, but I think that is wrong.

If you post with your name, you have become a public persona. Just hinting at the fact that public personas often have staff to manage public relations. You could of course kill that, but the repercussions would be quite severe.
There are a lot of people who live indoors almost 100% of the time in the winter in northern climates. A lot of the larger northern cities have underground walkways between buildings with subway access etc. No one wants to even walk across the street when it's 40 below. :)

I expect that designs for 'permanently underground/inside' cities would need to include some high-ceiling park-like areas with some bright UV lights, and other considerations, but that sort of thing seems pretty doable. Whether it would be enough to maintain a population's mental heath I guess would need to be seen, but generally speaking I think humans are a pretty adaptable bunch...
Interesting, that was exactly my reaction to it. It's unbalanced in a way the old one wasn't.
And the irony that your comment gets downvoted for pointing out that HN too suffers from a tribalist mentality about certain things (it does)... All these sharp minds don't like to be reminded of their own strange little obsessions and failings as human beings.

I'm not saying you'd be able to migrate without changes, but having moved workloads from managed k8s to bare-metal and having some experience with ECS and Fargate, I can tell you that the scale of disparities is significant.
This is a concern I have as well; if everyone has the same income, nobody has? I'm afraid it would just bump inflation by an X amount. If everyone's base income goes up by 10% due to basic income, wouldn't that just be offset by prices going up 10% because everyone can afford that 10% anyway?

Plus, housing prices are already ridiculous and still climbing; it's at a point now where people need an income in addition to their normal wages to be able to get a house.

Having close family nearby is worth a hell of a lot of money by non-FAANG-wage standards. Hundreds to thousands of dollars a year in saved vehicle and equipment rentals or purchases, Ubers (car breaks down, need a ride to work), and so on. If you've got kids and have some nearby family happy to provide child care, we're talking hundreds a year in babysitters on the low end to many thousands if they can replace daycare, before/afterschool care, that kind of thing. That's a lot of money to most people.
I'd imagine that there are many, more clandestine versions of this.
You don't have to do this with all the books. Only with the ones where you want to commit the important stuff to memory.

I am a data scientist with +3 years of experience solving various interesting business problems for Fortune 500 companies across Retail, CPG, and Technology verticals. I thrive on building scalable solutions using big data and machine learning algorithms. I have worked on several descriptive and predictive analytical projects such as demand forecasting, demand transfer, and forecast deviation analysis.
The term is "loss leader." GKE provides the manager node, and cluster management so that we don't have to. And in exchange you sell more compute, storage, network, and app services. This is some ex-Oracle, "what can we do to meet growth objectives," "how can we tax the people who we own" thinking. They're customers, not assets Tim. Your cloud portability play should be the last project to jerk them around on.
Current facts: Microsoft shoves ads into the start menu and file explorer, collects a ton of telemetry, resets application associations during updates, and does its best to hide the ability to setup a local-only account during install in its pay-for operating system.

So forgive me if I'm cynical of your company's current PR efforts.
Very few workplaces have 20% management. A few businesses have experimented with radically flattening the organization and cutting out management layers; this has generally not improved productivity or financial results.
If we find life a second time in our solar system, would that imply that life throughout the universe is much more likely to be abudant? Answers to the fermi paradox I've heard is that there may be some unknown true difficulty for creating life. A second form of life in our solar system would counteract that belief?

If true, then I'd be worried about some Great Filter ahead of us (ie technology destroying us) as that may be a plausible reason why we haven't spotted aliens yet?

all their academic texts are insufferable [...] linguistic masturbation. Obscure words, lengthy sentences, intricate syntactic constructions, etc.

You mean, "Every CS/Engineering Textbook Since Carver A. Mead stopped writing them"?

I don't think you're wrong: academics are insufferable. But it's unfair to blame this solely on art folk: STEM is just as bad, if not worse. Mathematics is a thousand times guiltier of this than any other field.

> It's quite inspiring to see a real goal and drive towards it.

I'm throughly uninspired... As a friend of mine once said: "progress when you're going the wrong direction, is turning around".

The idea that we'll settle Mars while the Earth burns in borderline sinister. It reminds me of the elite outpost from Kingsman (the movie).

We have a planet that is in dire need of this kind of motivated action, and yet Elon would rather be distracted by this dream.

Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate the "cool" factor of expanding to other planets. I too enjoy a good science fiction story. Who wouldn't want to escape the problems we've inherited, and proliferated.

But escapism solves nothing for "us", and it's foolish to think Mars is anything else. If we as humans can't live on Earth responsibly, we frankly don't deserve to exist at all.

(Perhaps we should pull a Titan A.E., and preserve some DNA in the vast wasteland of space. Just in case an alien species decides to give us another go)
That definitely smells of desperation, but again, at least they were trying something. Now though, they have fewer books on fewer shelves. Maybe they're trying something, but it's not about being a book store.

I know carrying inventory is expensive. But old inventory in a bookstore should almost be considered a marketing/advertising cost. There will be a reason to browse and stay. The store will smell like a bookstore.

The discovery process at B&N is minimal and sometimes worse than Amazon. At least with Amazon, I get the "people who bought this also bought this". Especially when dealing with a series, it makes a lot of sense. The "people who looked at this also looked at that" suggestions are great when comparing which book of non-fiction to get.

Going to B&N and trying to buy a specific book in a series is pure frustration. More people read the first book, so it's commonly not in stock. Or the series isn't popular enough and the subsequent volumes aren't available.

Really, I want them to do well. I tell my kids about the golden age of big bookstores where there were books and books and books. I try to buy things where I discover them, even if that makes them more expensive because I want the ability to discover things to stick around.
I didn't realize that subreddit existed, thanks! A lot of the time /r/coronavirus feels like a pile of doomsday preppers waiting to hear the apocalypse starter pistol.
I tell people to run git log -p --reverse origin/master.. and git diff origin/master.. to see what changes their commits are introducing and the overall change they're making before they actually push the branch up to the remote. It's essentially proofreading what you're going to submit before actually submitting it.
BMW builds _cars_, not Apps. They pride themselves in craftsmanship. The Logo badge on the actual car is a three dimensional, physical thing.

Instead of embracing that, they made it flat like an App icon. It will look shit on cars and it does not communicate that BMW builds _real machines_.

Everybody is going crazy about going digital and they forget what they are good at and what the customer likes them for.
From a utilitarian maintenance perspective, I think the open design of it makes it such a pain to keep looking good on a car. All those interior edges inside the logo catch debris and are difficult to clean to the edge of the design elements. I prefer car logos with closed smooth badges.
It is punishing couples, not rewarding them. The amount given to two single people is $34,000. The amount given to two people in a relationship is $24,000.

Those less restrictive areas are not always where people want to live. The people advocating for UBI are often not the same people that are OK with poor people being priced out of an area and moving into lower-cost areas.

I think it's more likely we'll see UBI proponents want to factor in a cost of living adjustment based on the place one lives, which will be a nightmare of political administration and unintended consequences.

I fully agree that moving is key.

Why using Emacs in terminal though? I find it much better to run in gui.
I wonder how much they spent on this. To me it looks like something you could get for 50 bucks on one of these logo design sites. I don’t understand why companies want to go from very distinct easily recognizable logos to something that looks just like every other logo.
Glycans, predictive biomarkers of cardiometabolic risk
I hate sl. I always alias it and I will purge it from any system that I am in charge of. It is not fun nor cute and I do not want to waste my time watching it.
Because humans need an objective minimum to survive. Below that they face slow death. There's a difference between social norm vs existential need, and many people have a vested interest in conflating the two.

There has to be a baseline standard, amounting to triage, above which "your core needs are met, and you have a path to thrive on - up to you to do you now."

Maybe there's another moving standard of minimum standard of living, whereby people don't existentially need X but society at large agrees everyone should have X (or opportunity thereto).
If you're going to write a mile-long article about the URL, at least get the details correct. The leftmost part of a URL is not the "protocol". It is called the "scheme". The scheme doesn't tell you "the protocol which should be used to access it", it tells you how to interpret the remainder of the URL.
Re: you claimed that Lisp programmers can not work in software teams over a long period

I meant for "general" programming. I apologize for not wording it clearer earlier.

Re: There are also a bunch of examples where Lisp was used to prototype or for rapid application development.

Yes, this is a niche it often does well in. It's partly how Paul Graham beat competitors in the store app arena.
The problem I see with this tech is with insurance. Your life, your health, your well being your family's well being, will be dependent on your ability to hold good insurance. If everything is measured, everything is tracked, everything quantified, your life is going to be very different.
This.

The whole point of k8s, the reason Google wrote it to begin with, was to commoditize the management space and make vendor lock-in difficult to justify. It's the classic market underdog move, but executed brilliantly.

Going with a cloud provider's proprietary management solution gives you generally a worse overall experience than k8s (or at least no better), which means AWS and Azure are obliged to focus on improving their hosted k8s offering or risk losing market share.

Plus, you can't "embrace and extend" k8s into something proprietary without destroying a lot of it's core usability. So it becomes nearly impossible to create a vendor lock-in strategy that customers will accept.

You're assuming the additional 10-20 hours is a meaningful competitive advantage. That's not a given.
Clear Facebook History Reminder
It's worth noting that more automation should also lead to shorter work weeks (or alternatively more unemployment). So the effect stays pretty much the same, the question is only if people keep the same compensation for fewer hours or if compensation per hour stays about the same.
Possibly for the counter-terrorism, though for the basic police, they are usually the first to post such pictures or videos - at least when no bodies in them.
yeah it is open source, but half a million loc for a simple admin tool seems like the perfect path to vendor lockin ;)
It looks as though the designers wanted to be bold and drop the “BMW” text but were overruled.
Part of the reason for ubi is that a lot of work is exploitative or underpaid. Ubi puts people in a negotiating position to not work and demand higher payment, or to not work and contribute to society in other ways.
It's going to be really interesting to see how vocabulary changes as frequent space travel becomes a reality. This may be one of the few times in history where a field has had so much imagination invested into defining it (sci-fi stories making up words for things) before it slowly becomes a reality.
The question posed was why do they Have to? Not why Should they.

Of course we need people driven to move society forward. But there is a stigma in modern society it seems around people who are perfectly happy being who they are and not "striving to be great". And that's ridiculous.

The previous poster asks all his potential dates, with what seems to be a fairly heavy helping of disdain for the "wrong answer", what their plan to change the world is.

Why does it matter? You go change the world. Let your spouse or your friends or your colleagues be content with not changing the world and just be happy living in it.
Not only that but people have an emotional investment; "This is my home", "All my family lives here", "It's all I've ever known", etc. Moving to someplace cheaper may not be an improvement overall. Financially maybe, but what's that worth if all your friends live across the state, or you can't just hop into a nearby pub (if that's your thing) like you used to, or you have to drive for an hour to get to work instead of a 15 minute bike ride?
And why would they do that? Please, I beg you to explain it to me.
I got tripped up on that statement, too. The problem is that
tinus_hn's parent comment started with a false premise: that the only way to return memory to the OS is by moving memory around, which is not the case. I think CJefferson was saying that manual memory allocators can't move memory around (which in the general case is true, but you point out in a different thread there are cases when it can), because the rest of their comment is explaining how they can return memory.
From my knowledge, pretty much all FAANGs got their own tooling in place before k8s went public, covering those same issues.

Now imagine you have to do it from scratch.
Why are you dictating what other people should look for in a partner?
Fwiw, two pizzas in US buy you up to 20 meals in a developing country. In a developing country, people often get cheaper iPhones (second hand or previous generation). The apps, however cost the same.
I wouldn't be surprised to learn that 20% of work time is spent on social media or other personal matters across all office workers.

OpenSUSE's Board Turmoil
The entire solar system is an inherently unstable construct. Luckily for us the instability is on a scale of billions of years. Terraforming mars would be similar. It would be a herculean effort that would take several lifetimes to complete, but the result could be stable on the scale of millions of years without further input. With a bit of maintenance it could well be stable for the life of the solar system.

For which the market should correct by increasing their compensation, thus incentivising people to return to working, no?
Agreed. I consider the URL the most important part of a web page's user interface.

I get incredibly frustrated with websites (e.g. many SPAs or frontend-happy sites) that don't provide a URL that I can bookmark and share where it obviously makes sense to do so.

I get a feeling that these little jewels of knowledge that we come across get store in our subconscious. And that my brain will pick it up when I need it, although I can't list them all if asked to. Maybe I'm wrong :)
Bah, humbug.
>The report shows nearly three-quarters of respondents who were working when the pilot project began kept at it despite receiving basic income.

In other words, over 25% of them stopped working. This is a pretty big contradiction to the title.
This is going to suck. You know this is going to be greatly abused.
Thank you I didn't realize :)
