As someone with particular domain knowledge (I worked in the art world for years and have many professional artist and gallerist friends), I don't I've ever seen an online art sales platform that actually understand the purpose of an art gallery--for both collectors and artists.

Galleries are not simply point of sale vendors for art. They establish a scene, they contextualize the art and the artists, and they make strategic decisions in how to cultivate the careers of their stable of artists via a number of different tactics:

0) By organizing solo shows. It seems silly to say this, but actually putting on shows is a critical element that is missing from these online sales platforms. Shows allow the artist to present a body of work and establish a narrative around it via reviews and and social scenes.

1) Connecting the artist, through sales or even social means, with relevant collectors. Collectors have different status' in the art world, different connections to other art world players, and have particular themes to their collections. By placing art in the right collections, a gallerist can make a significant impact on the career of an artist.

2) By organizing group shows, or using their influence to get their artists into other's group shows, which will then associate their artists with a scene or an institution.

3) Funding! A lot of art is _expensive_ to make. I have friends who have literally calculated how much it costs them per square inch to make a painting and it can be shocking. It is not uncommon for a gallerist to front a large sum of money leading up to a solo show.

Not all galleries will do all--or even any--of these things. However, these are the actions that define a good gallery. A good gallery is invested in an artist, much like a good VC firm is invested in a startup.

If a startup wants to 'disrupt' the art world, I think the first step would be to figure out how you are going to make a business that cultivates an artist's career over the long term and which establishes a real art scene involving both artists and collectors.

I’m more worried because of the age of the Mac. Got it a bit over 5 years ago and likely avg 50+ hours every week for those 5+ years. I don’t want to upgrade until the MacBook 16 inch has another update or two if possible.

I am an engineer too. I've helped hire engineers at two pretty big companies before and have done all the hiring for my current company.

While the supply has increased, the number of senior engineers hasn't grown at the same pace. I know of companies who've fired even their senior engineers, but they've been hit particularly hard by this crisis (think 'business model is literally rendered invalid' level of affected). Most people who think they'll be able to weather at least the next six months will be reluctant to fire more experienced engineers, because they know how hard it was to hire them to begin with.

While some of the options might be gone, chances are people who get laid off or are still in the market will look for companies with better chances of surviving this (think Google, Apple, Facebook, etc.), so the pool of experienced talent might actually be reduced for startups.

In other words: people with 5 years of industry experience are playing in a completely different arena than more junior engineers, who are unfortunately in a more precarious situation.
Yes. Money is debt. When I receive money in my paycheck, I've exchanged real resources--my time and labor--for something which, in and of itself, provides no use value whatsoever. It is a debt that I can call in on anyone else in society, to receive the product of their labor in exchange for a token.

Those show that it's possible, not necessarily that it's a good interface to make those parts of programs. Houdini's shader language has had branching done in a data flow graph for a long time. Touch designer has a kind of looping construct too. You might want to take a look at these domain specific interfaces if you are doing your own graph, they are well done.

Fundamentally though, the density of text expressions exceeds a data flow graph by a huge margin. If what is being done isn't fundamentally a directed acyclic graph, visualizing it with a graph becomes more difficult to absorb than the expressions as text.
> You are no longer "otherwise-strong" if you have been impacted by COVID economically.

“Otherwise” is a word with meaning, and, contrary to your claim, that's exactly what “otherwise” means.

Now, the underlying premise for that “otherwise strong” being a meaningful category (that firms in that position are well positioned for a post-COVID rebound if they are prevented from a catastrophic collapse due to COVID) may be subject to legitimate debate, but that's another question.

>Sometimes I'm shocked at how cavalier some people can be about management

I find this attitude especially prevalent in the tech startup end of things for a few reasons: Most startups start small enough that peer-to-peer relationships and a personal stake & passion all mean that having staff in a role solely dedicated to managerial work isn't necessary. As a result of this, when they get larger, they undervalue the need. As a result of that, as the need arises, it is poorly done, furthering the sentiment that such roles are wasteful of resources and time.

Outside of this "home grown" disdain for managers in tech, there's also the problem systemic in modern business stemming from the idea of "scientific management" that arose about 100 years ago and really gained traction in the 50's & 60's. Depending on your point of view, it's either fundamentally wrong (in part or whole), or it has simply been poorly implemented in nearly all cases. Regardless, it's what gave rise to the notion that "manager" was a job like any trade, and people could be trained up and deployed as interchangeable pieces in any business. (Which rather ignored the fact that even in trades, there are specialties). It created a few generations of managers that thought actual detailed knowledge of a business's operations wasn't necessary to being a good manager.

I think we're, mostly, past that. (as in past the tipping point moving away from it, not that it isn't still prevalent in some segments of business)

But the two phenomena are where I think the casual disdain comes from in the tech industry for non-engineering managers.
Perhaps, but there's no guarantee that it's anything more than a transient state, that lasts at most until you next lose consciousness. The consciousness that you have today may have no relation to that of yesterday or tomorrow, apart from running on the same brain "hardware" and having access to the same memories.

I’m not sure if they do this as I’m not willing to pay to find out. But when their salesperson called me I had a discussion with them about how the first review that shows up, the one that’s a thumbnail when my business appears on other listings, is from 2012 and pertains to the business before I bought it and changed management. Not just that but it’s clearly a vengeful review written by a crazy person. I told them that I have no interest in making my profile more visible if that is what Yelp considers a quality review. (As usual, all of the decent reviews are “hidden”.) My good reviews were unsolicited.

If Yelp is in trouble, maybe their quality should get another look.

Adding one more piece of data to the story, I've run a large website (Social Blade) since 2008 where the primary source of revenue has always been advertising. It was only last year that we started focusing more on paid subscriptions to cover the natural drop in ad revenue that was happening anyway.

I don't have the data yet from one of my two ad providers, but the one that does provide me real time data I can see a 35% drop in ad revenue this month compared to Feb while having about a 31% bump in traffic.

Six Spark Exercises to Rule Them All
It decreases the risk of failure but also corrupts the product signal. You can't get a truly clean read on the product/market fit with constant advertising since you're effectively externally subsidizing product adoption.

Or, maybe you aren't subsidizing it and just tossing money in the wind...and that's the problem, you have an x +/-/*/^ y effect and can't separate the two.

So the advertising becomes "locked in" because it was never extricated from the rest of the product and it becomes too much of a risk to pull it.

Some people try to isolate things and figure it out but it's not really possible, externalities change, contexts change, needs change, advertising happens on the sneaker net without your knowledge... It's a real bitch

Easily?

You're wrong about nested VPN chains, however. Depending on geographical distribution, each VPN adds 50-100 msec rtt. And bandwidth doesn't drop that much after the first VPN.

>> letting those businesses fail

Shouldn't the government, at the very least, wait a little while to see which companies or industries are actually close to failing, before committing $2+ trillion? American Airlines had 3.8 billion cash as of 12/31/19. Its total OpEx + Interest was about $8.2 billion in 2019. So it had nearly a half-year of expenses covered, before any cutbacks or preservation methods. I'm not an airline accountant, perhaps some obligatory expenses are hidden in COGS which increases their burn rate. But it would appear that AA could survive about 5 months even if it did nothing to reduce expenses -- if they cut back appropriately, perhaps they could extend that to a year. There's also equity and debt markets available if AA needs cash now.

I just don't see why the government felt it was necessary to immediately reassure companies they would be protected, or why, one month in, you are discussing "letting those businesses fail," as if it's a foregone conclusion. In fact, it seems highly likely they would survive intact. Poorer, but probably not bankrupt.

My limited understanding for online advertising is that it is a white black box.

It can be observed yet you don't know what is happening.

Big corporations throw money at different purpose and once the budget is out they could be under a directive to just spend.
I'm thinking that businesses that are cloud based will benefit the most. First, with more people spending time cloistered inside, web applications, video streaming platforms and eCommerce sites are for sure getting a boost in traffic. And second, these web based companies like facebook, google and amazon are set up well for remote work. It is not hard for software engineers to work remotely. While no doubt, there is some loss with no being in person. The impact is relatively low.
Programmers work with text and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Terminal based editors are powerful, so properly displaying terminal is a great goal.

>so why does a self-referential thought entail a subject when self-reference in other domains does not?

I have a feeling you're taking "subject" to be a far more substantial concept that I am. A subject at its most austere is merely a distinct target of alteration. That is, it is subject to change from external or internal forces. So to have a self-referential thought is to say you are subject to change: from not having a thought to having a thought, thus you are a subject of some sort (the thinking sort). Although a thought itself does not necessarily imply a subject, recognizing one is having a thought (a self-referential thought) entails subject-hood on its bearer.

But to address the specialness of thought: thoughts have content. For example, a thought about an apple intrinsically picks out an apple. The thought somehow contains the semantics of the object of its reference. This is in contrast to, say, a bit that gains meaning from the context in which it is used (e.g. night/day, heads/tails, etc). And so a self-referential thought intrinsically contains the necessary structure to entail subject-hood. Self-reference in other contexts do not have this intrinsic content requirement.

>Because in this setting, such a claim to me means that phenomenal consciousness is not ontologically fundamental.

Frankish is very clear that he is eliminativist about phenomenal consciousness. He is not intending to simply be reductive about phenomenal consciousness, i.e. that it is "real" but reduces to physical structure and dynamics. His claim is that we misrepresent non-phenomenal neural structures as being phenomenal. This can be cast as a sort of reduction as your referring to. But he is clear that this is not what he intends.

As far as Dennett goes, he seems to endorse Frankish's project so I would take him to also be eliminativist about phenomenal consciousness. But reading is own work he's a lot more slippery about whether he's eliminativist or not so I'm not sure where he actually lands.

There are other options. One such option is to let non-essential businesses stay open and stop it with the travel bans. There'd be other benefits besides preventing economic collapse, delayed or otherwise - less domestic violence, people in Africa won't starve because of other countries are hoarding food (and Africa being a net importer a food will suffer), local farmers won't suffer a severe shortage of transient workers, etc.

Evan is brilliant, Elm even more so.

There are trade offs that they are making that I totally understand. There is one way to do things. There is one path to fix things. Everything works one way and works incredibly well.

But those trade offs come at a cost. It is very hard to take Elm into production having to put all of your trust in Evan and the few in his company. There are going to be times that your bugs are not considered bugs by the core team. There are going to be times when your required features are considered harmful to Elm by the core team. Other projects allow you the freedom to work around those sorts of things. Elm has tightened things so this is very hard to do. Elm has made huge wins by doing that. But it makes Elm in production a much harder sell.

I love Elm I want to use it production. But I don't want to have to front to my manager trying to explain we can't do X because I picked a technology that met my needs as a developer but not failed to meet the needs of the business.

Evan has every right to build Elm as he sees fit but it's painful to sit here as a dev and see something so perfect yet have to go for something so terrible for commercial considerations.
