> They don't use sleezy techniques and unruly ways to "get them". Or aggressively piss people off.

That's definitely NOT what S4F is about.

One of the main reasons I made this course is that most founders - especially technical founders - still have this impression of sales as being sleazy or aggressive.

I'm sure that is still out there today - in the used car industry, for example.

But - in SaaS at least - sales has moved on.

Why?

Because it had to.

Simply put, when you are selling a SaaS product (with free trials, money-back guarantees, monthly billing...) it isn't worth making the sale if it's a bad fit.

Lying, pressuring people into buying something they don't need, being aggressive just doesn't pay anymore. Yes - they might sign up for one month - but then they'll churn and you'll have spent more acquiring them than they paid you.

Instead, S4F teaches you how to move to a 'team' mindset...

- how to understand your customer
- how to align your goals with theirs
- how to create a shared success plan (so they don't just buy, they actually get value from your product and don't churn)
- how to nudge them along that path to success

I don't think GitHub mining is state of the art, and there are opportunities, as the article says, to separate the signal from the noise. I agree in the general sense, but there should be some lines drawn at which point we can say research is invalid so people don't run away with the results.

Tech isn't about "automating" things that ultimately cause you to do more work to maintain status quo. Tech isn't about spending week to automate things that take you 1 minute three times a year.

> Why is it OK to be track by Apple or Netflix?

That is not what I asserted.

I asserted I don't care about it. I don't believe Netflix tracks me outside of .netflix.com and I don't believe Apple tracks me outside of .apple.com (and the other domains ofc). If they do, you have to convince me it is harming my interests (ie. my privacy or freedom of choice).

I know Google tracks me, I know Facebook tracks me. Their profit model is surrounded by this tracking. I know Amazon and Microsoft track me. Their profit model partly relies on tracking.

Venus has 80% of Earth mass. Mars has 10% of Earth Mass. The simple math suggests, that these planets are destined to be combined in some distant future, but not by current civilization, so there is no real reasons to be concerned about anything at all.

I have to spam another comment here to suggest that Bitwarden also has built-in two-factor auth. $10/year (not per month) for personal use, and I believe it's included for $3/month/user in the enterprise version. Cheaper than 1Password, and a better overall app imo.

I've mostly addressed this in the siblings comments. Mars has all the same resources and more.

Related, but not exactly on topic: what do people make of the word “depressed”? I am unsure whether people use the word to mean “a deep lack of any enjoyment that persists for a long period of time (weeks?)” or something stronger, which adds on “and whose source is not easily explained”.

In my head, depression means the latter, but I’m unsure what the popular conception is.
> I don't think this is accurate

Yes it is accurate. It is very accurate. The garbage studies routinely dumped on us by Big Pharma have been continually debunked, reversed, and retracted after the raw data comes out (often in lawsuits).

Nevermind the complete absence of long-term studies or any studies that reflect the actually usage of these drugs in the real world.
I use stevia in my trog smoothies. (Kale, ginger, coconut cream, whatever else is in the fridge.) Stevia somehow softens the sour tangy bitter acidity whatever-its-called taste of the kale.
I always assumed that when I taste something sweet, my body starts putting insulin in my blood. Over time it learns how much to put in based on how sweet the food tasted. If that's true, I'd expect too much insulin for food with aspartame, BUT ALSO too little when food has real sugar, because of the long term learning.

I'd expect a type 1 diabetic not to see either effect because the system that aspartame wacks out of tune is turned off for them.

I appreciate that I have no actual knowledge on the subject, except that I know the body must have control loops for this stuff and they must be kept in calibration by some mechanism. Probably my model is too simple.

> most arguments centered around the microcircuitry of the inferior olive

If, like me, you wondered how a poor fruit has microcircuitry, well, I think they're actually talking about the Inferior Olivary Nucleus. Per Wikipedia:

> The inferior olivary nucleus (ION), is a structure found in the medulla oblongata underneath the superior olivary nucleus. In vertebrates, the ION is known to coordinate signals from the spinal cord to the cerebellum to regulate motor coordination and learning. These connections have been shown to be tightly associated, as degeneration of either the cerebellum or the ION results in degeneration of the other.

> If the structural formula looks like a pesticide it might be better to not ingest it.

When I first saw discussion of sucralose that was my response-- 'wtf, that looks like a pesticide'.

Then I found out how it was discovered: A chemist misheard 'test the compound' as 'taste the compound'. ( http://www.laleva.org/eng/2006/12/the_history_of_splenda_the... )

But the fact that it obviously looks like probably-bad-news is probably good news for its safety: It has been very widely tested, including by a lot of people who were expecting it to be poisonous. And in spite of all that testing and deployment to the public in enormous quantities, there is little to suggest that it isn't safe. If it does turn out to have negative effects, they can't be that significant or serious or we would have noticed by now.

The negative health effects of sugar are well established. To the extent that sucralose is displacing sugar it's almost certainly a net benefit.

Most of of this "advice" is profoundly insulting to depressed people.

Because while it is good for your physical health, mentally it feels much worst then doing nothing. It reminds you of everything you cant do anymore. It makes you feel like shell of yourself. It also feels empty and you get none of the good felling you get from full workout.

64 bit support has been around on the desktop for a decade at this point (Through OpenGL4 / GL_ARB_gpu_shader_fp64 / cl_khr_fp64).

Unfortunately it is not exposed in Firefox or Chrome, even if the underlying hardware supports it. I think this is creating a chicken and egg problem - if WebGL were to actually support the capabilities of the underlying hardware, maybe there would be more interest in deploying 64-bit extensions on other platforms like mobile. Even emulated support would be a win, compared to having every developer emulate fp64/i64 themselves in GLSL.

So I am also disappointed in this proposal's failure to mention 64-bit support, even as an extension. At least they're reserving the keywords, I guess.

Thus far, I see a lot of accounts attempting to change the subject, a lot of complaining that the author is unfair, and insinuations that we civvies are too stupid to understand such complex military issues. But no actual "The author said X, and here's a link to show he's wrong."

Testosterone has a lot of side effects people don't like: "male pattern baldness", hair growth pretty much everywhere else, acne, breast growth, changes in libido (either direction).

I don't run a big successful website, but I do run a Kubernetes cluster at home in my basement. Why? Because the computers I run everything on are six Nvidia Jetson Nanos; I'm a fan of running these because I like having access to a good GPU, and I can leave them running 24/7 without having to feel too guilty about power usage.

Just one Nvidia Jetson Nano wouldn't be enough to handle all my server needs (movie streaming, video transcoding, random odds and ends of projects I have), and using a framework like Docker Swarm or Kubernetes makes this relatively easy.

Is having the ability to linearly scale my home server overkill? Maybe, but at the same time it certainly felt necessary for the job, and carries the nice advantage that I don't have to rearchitect everything later while trying to shoehorn in the "old" way of doing stuff for compatibility sake.

> You don't know where the best place to fragment your monolith is until you've got to the point where there monolith is struggling to keep up, because then you know where the slow bits are and how to scale them.

Sure, it's not a silver bullet, and I certainly wouldn't claim it as such. That said, there are reasonable places to expect bottlenecks that can benefit from an architecture; things hitting a spinning disk or making an external HTTP call tend to be slow, so it is often better to model them asynchronously and buffer through a message queue; even if you don't have concrete numbers on your side it's not an unreasonable assumption to make.

My Galaxy Note 8 camera is nothing like you described. You don't have to unlock the phone, just double-press the power button even if the screen is locked and it goes directly into the camera app, ready to shoot.

Latency is barely noticeable. I always take multiple photos anyway, either a burst or by tapping the shutter button repeatedly. I never dared do that with a film camera except for very important shots.

So I get a lot more interesting shots now and a lot more "keepers".

> This kinda sounds like drugs like clonazepam or lorazepam. They're also very addictive, and are not antidepressants at all, however they are anti-anxiety drugs and they work very quickly. And anxiety and depression seem to go hand-in-hand for many sufferers, so they do seem to really help some people, at least initially.

Phenibut works through similar pathways as those drugs. A lot of people overestimate their understanding of Phenibut by reducing it to a simple GABA-B agonist, but at the high doses that people take for euphoric effects it's actually doing a lot more.

> I think a big problem is the medical establishment really doesn't have a good handle on what depression really is (biologically) or how to treat it.

We can always improve, yes, but the standard treatment protocols (therapy, lifestyle changes, therapy + medication) are actually quite decent if you find a provider who cares enough to work with you. Many people find a lot of relief through standard practices. Unfortunately, many people don't have the resources or patience for therapy, and they won't tolerate any side effects from medication (which tend to diminish over time). A lot of those cases are the most vocally negative about depression treatment and "big pharma", skewing the overall perception. Many of the SSRI and therapy success stories don't go broadcasting their depression stories to the world. They just quietly go back to their lives.
