Huzzah!

Let’s stop calling basic security features “enterprise”.

Locking basic security features behind a paywall is a protection racket, pure and simple.

Small companies, and lone developers, need security, too.

If we are making software for consumers who won’t know any better, why not encourage (and make it trivial) for fledglings to do the right thing from the very beginning?

Why does every single company have to go through the same security mistakes on their way to Series A/B/C? Why can’t we learn from our mistakes and make the doing the right thing not just accessible, but easily accessible.

Hat tip to antirez, et.al., on this one.
Or maybe they won't. Chronic underemployment has been a thing since at least 2008. Given a reality where there are simply more people than jobs that need doing, shutting the poor out of the education system seems like just another way to increase wealth inequality.

I get excited as much about economic and eco-political axes in technology, with this multidimensional perspective there is still so much room to grow. Look at how interesting OS's became when Richard Stallman started to open source them. Look at the price difference between the Atari and Cray in terms of $/speed, albeit a 70's example. Chips are still in patent-impregnable territory, they are proprietary and boring. In the next years, if these technologies open up, we could see some amazing stuff...

> Student loans would dry up overnight if they could be discharged at bankruptcy.

There were student loans before 1976, when they became non-dischargeable.
Yes, but the opposite tends not to work either, and the precedents on that side are much darker.
That would depend on the power dissipated. Custom loop can have higher flow rate, (significantly) more surface area of the radiators, and more water.

Another issue is that VRM needs cooling too, and custom loops can come VRM cooling (monoblocks). AIOs would need forced airflow (fan).
This is a really valuable contribution, just to benchmark whatever you are doing vs what's possible, in a similar way that the large datacenter operators have shown everyone that PUE of 1.1 is achievable. This data shows that you can achieve > 60% utilization of both compressible and incompressible resources, overcommit both kinds of resources by 200%, while scheduling task arrivals at over 100 per second. It really is an extremely valuable glimpse into how the bigs operate.

Universities in Germany are mostly free with generous system of funding for poor students.

From attached link most of the spending is on state and local level.

>Federal education spending: The federal government had little involvement in education in the early 20th century. This changed in the 1930s when federal education spending increased from less than 0.05 percent of GDP to over 0.3 percent of GDP. Federal education spending decreased during World War II but then increased to a peak of 1.03 percent of GDP in 1949 as it funded education for veterans in the GI Bill. Federal education spending declined in the 1950s to 0.3 percent of GDP, but began an increase in the mid 1960s reaching a peak of 1.2 percent of GDP in 1979. Thereafter federal education spending declined to about 0.6 to 0.7 percent of GDP in the 1980s and 1990s before increasing modestly to nearly 0.8 percent of GDP in the 2000s.

> In the early 2010s federal education spending declined to 0.7 percent in 2015, and is expected to be 0.5 percent GDP by 2020.
That doesn't sound like something that would ever work for something like an FTP server. I think i'll stick with my current phone for the foreseeable future, until some workaround is found.

Why that fast? Is that the right pace?

I wonder what's the right balance between validating things fast and persisting until you make it work.

I am more inclined to the position that he should/I would have worked to make his $20/month product grows into the value of a $100/month product.

People are never keen to spend $75 a month, unless is an investment in something that will make them, for example, earn $500 more a month.

At the same time, there were signs that it could be an idea that he would keep trying for an year and a half, and end up in the same place (I've been there).

How to make this decision?

You can! I have all the equivalent graphs and most of the equivalent features on the k8s clusters I run. Google has commoditized borg, at least for the scales that most companies will run.
Of course. It would be uncomfortable. What's more, it would be the sort of "forced lesson" that I referenced elsewhere.

That's exactly the problem that I've identified with my education: the goal shouldn't be "show children that their parents have flaws," but "expose children to material where people challenge the views of authority." The former caused me to approach things in terms of defending my own view of the world, while the latter would have had me examining it.

Framing the conversation is important. If you go too far with it, you breed resistance to learning. If you don't go far enough, all you're really risking is that someone might take the "wrong" lesson away from it.

Personally, I'd rather have someone who has more fully absorbed the material take away the wrong lesson than someone say the right things about it while never truly examining the work. In that case, at least they will have a broader base of knowledge and experiences to draw from later in life if and when their worldview changes.

I don’t really see the point of this comparison. Composing, arranging, and producing a song is not a benchmark you can profile against; musicians are not performing some kind of music compute that produces a set number of music units per hour.

Speaking from my own experience, I’ve had tracks that took months to complete, and I’ve had tracks that I got to probably 90% completion in under an hour. I would propose that there’s no meaningful definition of “superhuman” for creative efforts.

We treat education as a public good. Employers don't have to pay for their employees' educations, and employees can take their skills around with them.

Given that banks know their customers need employees they would get around to giving loans out to keep the supply of talent coming.

There would just be far less waste if student loans were dischargeable.
They're adding a lot more expensive administrators for one thing: https://capitolweekly.net/tuition-uc-administrators-tripled-...
Yeah but college could be paid for with a minimum wage summer job.

That change in 1976 was actually the cause of the steep rise in tuition. Can't really put the genie back in the bottle now.
The content matters. The tool doesn't.

Based on painful firsthand experience, don't waste much time optimizing for the 'best' way to share. Just create, share, adjust. You can always switch to another 'tool'--tools are cheap, plentiful, and don't matter much. You'll kill every ounce of creativity and momentum mucking around in the weeds looking for the best 'tools'.
You are of course correct, but it's a very important point - theoretical performance on paper is +-meaningless, only real, end performance after things are set safely is relevant to normal use cases. Which is basically all of us.

Strangely, not all cpu reviews take this into consideration.
You are correct. Just a nit: it's usually referred to as "instructions per cycle" or IPC, rather than "operations per cycle."
> But barring shifting to a European model of college funding, I don't see the US allowing dischargeable loans, nor do I think they should, because the reality of it is that colleges won't reduce their rates nor increase their scholarships, they would just be completely out of reach of poor and middle class students.

The reality is that the they should be out of reach to poor or middle class students TODAY. They are not serving those people and are actively making their lives worse by saddling them with outrageous debt and no prospect of meaningful employment.

If the US changed bankruptcy it would force the colleges to change as well. Lenders are not going to be sending children into the workforce with zero chance to recoup that loan, and they are not going to want to bloat the college stay to ridiculous proportions.

It does exist, and those plumbers are wrong. The biggest challenge is finding a heat exchanger (to replace the one in your AC condenser) which is designed to survive highly corrosive hot swimming pool water.

The UCDavis Western Cooling Efficiency Center [1] has done extensive research on this, sponsored by the California Energy Commission.

In a nutshell, they found that using your swimming pool as a heat sink for your air conditioner can reduce cooling energy consumption by 30% or more (not including the reduction in pool heating energy consumption). The two main caveats:

1. Many pools are too small relative to the house to be an effective heat sink without overheating the pool.

2. Increased pool temperature causes increased evaporation, resulting in increased water consumption (also a problem in CA).

They also found that adding a fountain for evaporative cooling of the pool can mitigate #1, at the expense of worsening #2.

The fairly recent law that you cannot bankruptcy out of a college load caused all this.

- Lenders are willing to lend to anyone knowing they will HAVE to pay.

- Colleges over-inflated costs, way beyond inflation

- It balanced out to this shit.

In the past, colleges had to be careful, and so did lenders, because lots of people just didn't go to college due to cost. So they had to sell their worth.
But that's education and society that can steer the human nature, rather than human nature itself. And the proof is in the fact that slavery, human rights violations (even with support from the law and society), gender and sexual discrimination are still very much alive even in countries that ostensibly have a more forward thinking.

If you take a number of modern humans and put them in a Bronze Age setting you will get Bronze Age humans. Our genetics stayed pretty much the same and education just reigns in and steer our human nature.
Two accredited online ones that have interestingly sustainable models, and possible interaction with others, I think:

BYU Pathway Worldwide and associated programs. It requires a Church affiliation but not necessarily membership (I think). I think tuition is much lower, bachelors programs (like IT, business, others) are available, programs excellent, and is also suitable for those who need to first become qualified for entering a university (edit: i.e., learning English which is used in curriculum, and other basic skill), then provides that university. More info is in Wikipedia and I have gathered a bit of info including linking to a news article that explains it well I think, here: http://lukecall.net/e-9223372036854578440.html .

And: https://www.wgu.edu/ (also mentioned in wikipedia): state aid available from multiple states it seems (per wkp).
Is that bad? Humanities departments are already shrinking without any changes because there's just no demand. It doesn't seem entirely unreasonable to me that if you are determined to get a degree in philosophy, which has virtually no job prospects outside of teaching the next generation of philosophy students, you have to go do that at one of a handful of schools that carve out a niche for themselves with a philosophy department.
AWS would have to offer an 83% discount just to match Oracle's list price. At an 80% discount Oracle doesn't even have to lift a finger.
They are comparable on cooling capability except for noise levels when the CPU is overclocked. I have a big air cooler and it gets really noisy when CPU is loaded.
PhDs though are never self-funded, so almost entirely the loan is from undergrad.

I won't dispute that students will pay. I think it is predatory, though, on the part of the colleges.

I'd argue students, by and large, don't have the maturity to make such consequential financial decisions (taking on loans representing multiple years of their future gross income that can't be discharged in bankruptcy). The average young person just hasn't had the duration of life experience to think on a 10+ year horizon. (Arguably a shortcoming of humanity in general.)
Depends where you go. I know we had some Chinese students in my college, they paid €10000 a year, compared to the Irish students who paid €3000 a year.

As far as I've heard, US colleges are on the order of $10000+ per semester.

Somewhat true, but it doesn't harm the environment from the same angle. The #1 enemy right now is greenhouse gases, and you can't deny that hydro power produces much less of it than coal.

You're right that there's a real impact on ecosystems; flooding large areas and such. However, I'd describe it more as a disruption than a destruction; 30 years later the ecosystems around it have adapted and the reservoir serves the ecological function of a large lake. Sure, it's not perfect, but it's better than burning coal.
I originally had more nuance in my comment but wanted to keep it simple. In my experience, companies like the ones you describe have a really strong brand (so large volume of branded search) and/or really strong other channels, like SEO. At that point, paid search is a piece of the overall ROI (serving market share or other strategic objectives) and not channel-specific.

Adding even more nuance, that really only describes successful companies. Failing companies _think_ they are profitable, until they quickly aren't. Your experience is very similar to my own. You're 100% right.
See anyone trying to get a loan vs anyone paying taxes. Duh!
> Why that fast? Is that the right pace?

My timeline is determined by my wife's due date currently. I have no idea if it's the right pace, but I also have no idea that it's not.

Unless somebody comes along and points out why I should spend more time in a really convincing way, I'm going to set an unreasonable and if I hit it, great! If not, I'm probably still progressing more quickly than other people with more modest goals.

> People are never keen to spend $75 a month, unless is an investment in something that will make them, for example, earn $500 more a month.

Very true. I'm just not sure the value I can deliver with this product was ever going to be sellable at $75/mo, given the pricing the rest of the market exhibits...

> At the same time, there were signs that it could be an idea that he would keep trying for an year and a half, and end up in the same place (I've been there).

I've been here too (3 years on one startup, never got off the ground). I'm trying to land in the other extreme now -- moving TOO quickly. Hopefully doing this will help me find some middle ground that's not where my preconceptions paint it to be.

Fair point. I don't think I did it the crass way, but it's been quite a while and I'd tried to forget about the whole thing. I do remember showing it to a small group at first and getting the overall reaction of "but that's not the way we'd planned to do it!"

> In short, don't embarrass your coworkers.

This can't be overemphasized. And if you're in a situation where you have to decide between embarrassing your coworkers and going along with terrible ideas that waste time and money, then you may wish to decide to change part of the equation (e.g. removing yourself - or your coworkers - from the situation).

Three weeks isn't enough time to even pretend you're bootstrapping. That's a vacation from work...
