There ofc will be niches but overall your business plan would be much more dependent on the type of service you provide, sale channels (B2B vs B2C), volume etc.

Also many people conflate with a software company with a company that provides services through software.

There is a huge difference between say a commercial software company like say Sage, Microsoft or Oracle and other “software companies” like Uber or InstaCart.

All of these have drastically different business models even within the same category.

Then you have the software delivery as a service companies that can range from consultancy and staff aug to full out project outsourcing.

But in general if someone wants to learn business fundamentals they should learn business fundamentals before trying to apply it to a specific field.

God, no. He is a far-right YouTuber who is known for his promotion of scientific racism and white supremacist views. His website is basically a cult with active use of cult indoctrination methods on Molyneux's side.

Let's not pretend that the above poster doesn't know about that. He tries to bait you into watching Molyneux because he is "good on philosophy and parenting", who can slowly indoctrinate you into his far right views[1] (he doesn't try to be to open about them)

For instance, this is his take on the Holocaust:

> ...the Germans were in danger of being taken over by what they perceived as Jewish-led Communism. And Jewish-led Communism had wiped out tens of millions of white Christians in Russia and they were afraid of the same thing. And there was this wild overreaction and all this kind of stuff.

Also in math, you spend a majority of your time not understanding things. As soon as you understand something in math, you immediately move on to the next thing you don't understand. As opposed to say engineering where you tend to get good at a particular process and applying it. In math confusion is the default state.

I think there's a big reckoning coming. Big companies will do fine, in fact they'll probably just get bigger and richer. Anyone who's already poor, close to broke, or otherwise in a bad position is going to get hit hard by this.

I know it's a really unpopular opinion right now, but I do think the worst damage from the virus is the economic impact which is going to set millions (maybe even billions) of people back another 10-20 years. Simultaneously, rich people will just build an even bigger moat between themselves and the poor.

I think the biggest risk to rich people (and they know this) at the moment is that poor people finally decide to fight back against feudalism and we go through a new cycle of political upheaval ("new world order" type thing[0]). This is something Ray Dalio talks about a lot if you follow his writings/talks.

Well, not really. As per their About Us section, “Bandcamp’s mission is to create the best possible service for artists and labels to share and earn money from their music, and for fans to discover and enjoy it.” Discovering works nicely, but as for enjoying, they really have issues with volume control and even the basic loudness level. Also their mobile app does not let you download music to listen to later offline (or without taxing your mobile connection), which is a shame.

I have three favorites: Lex Fridman’s AI podcast, Azeem Azhar’s Exponential View, and recently I have also started listening to Eric Weinstein’s Portal.

Before the covid-19 period, I used to hike multiple times a week with often large groups of hikers. Now, with social distancing I have been mostly hiking by myself and I find hiking with either having a phone call with a friend or listening to a podcast makes very long solo wilderness hikes less lonely.

From my point of view, by dropping standard OpenGL they have turned their platform into a second-class citizen.

I am assuming you upload your docker image to a container registry and use it in a deployment file to run on a k8s cluster.

Many people run k8s in local machine to test if things are running as expected. Creating a docker image, uploading to a CR and deploying again is time consuming.

You can run something like Kind (local k8s cluster) on your local machine to test things out. It would be more time efficient.
The burden of proof is on those who impose burdens
> seems most CI systems actually test the merged code

The thrust of your point is right, though. CI tests the merged squash-commit after it's already on master, so you can still get into states where you have a failing build on master.

That risk is mitigated somewhat if you block the merging of out-of-date PR branches but this isn't supported on all the platforms.
You shouldn't make such assumptions without knowing about somebody. I have dealt with the judicial system.

> No, lot of people just give up because they know there is no point in wasting 10 years for the court case to finish. Isn't that the definition of people losing faith?

Where are these "lots of people" if the system is drowning in new cases all over the place? The definition of people losing faith in a "corrupt judiciary" would be mass protests, street judgments.

Please don't misunderstand that I am saying the system is without issues (huge problems, time being the biggest like you say) but to insinuate that Indian judicial system is pretty corrupt and/or dysfunctional is hyperbolic.

This not really true. Put this js console and you'll see that a is the string "[object Object]":

When you put just {}+[] in your console its doing an empty block followed by unary-plus,like:

{/*do nothing block*/}; +[]

> we still make a small profit on low oil prices.

and

> when prices are low everybody expects to rise back to what we're used to again soon, because we're naturally optimistic. But that's not a law written in stone, it might be true that oil prices drop again in future, so we're better off selling it today.

So basically, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I sadly have to agree. A good entrepreneur friend of mine asked me what he can do to better monitor his employees working from home.

His questions got creepy quickly until I had to tell him to ask someone else because I felt uncomfortable, but let's just say Office 365 can quickly turn into a mighty tool for the ill intentioned.
> can be a small kindness.

"Kindness" seems to be in short supply, these days.

It really is depressing to see how many people take kindness for weakness. I'm seeing that demonstrated in this very article's comments.

One thing that I did learn in that corporation, was how to be an effective member of an effective team.

There is no culture on earth that comes close to the Japanese for effective teams. There's a ton of downsides to their culture (but I won't get into that); but their teams are incredibly tight and effective.

Being an effective member of a team requires far more than "hard" skills. It requires a lot of "soft" skills, and, in my experience, those lessons seem harder to learn.

One of the lessons that I learned, very early on, is that the person I denigrate now, may the one that I depend on to pull my ass from a fire, down the road.

At that time, they will remember whether I helped them, or tripped them up. To their credit, most of the Japanese that I know won't actually take that into account. If helping you helps the team, they will do it; regardless of how they feel about you.

That's actually kind of amazing, and rather humbling.

> everyone except Linux and Android have solid back compat stories

Linux is very backwards compatible. I've run an OpenGL application I wrote 10+ years ago without any trouble and have run non 3D applications that were over 20 years old without a need to recompile. This is because the Linux kernel has a very stable ABI.

Unfortunatly, this isn't the case if you ship with dependencies on dynamic libraries but that's pretty easy to avoid. Static link everything and only dynamically depend on SDL or something.

You could also go the windows route and ship all the DLLs. This is what steam does under Linux, they ship their own Ubuntu 14.04

I find podcasts with a good bit of humor fill this spot for me personally. Here's a couple that I regularly listen to, degree of "intellectualness" varies, but they all have episodes that require attention and make me think.

Radiolab - Very well known, you've probably already listened. I like it because the hosts are genuine and they tell good stories. Older episodes hit the spot better than newer for me.

The Infinite Monkey Cage - Science based panel show. If you like things like QI, this is similar, but less gimmicky. Real science discussions, plenty of jokes.

Judge John Hodgman - This isn't "sciency" but it does make me consider my position on social norms, while also being pretty dang entertaining.

Revolutions (Mike Duncan) - This is a fantastic history based podcast. The first episode or two in a series are always dry as he paints an overview of what's coming, but it's worth chugging through. I strongly recommend his third series on the French revolution, Mike does a fantastic job making history about the people and not about fluff like dates/locations/memorized crap. This podcast could have replaced most of my history classes in school and I'd be a better person for it.
> The tendency to call people like chefs or line cooks "unskilled labor" is disgusting.

I don't think this is disgusting. I don't believe it's meant to imply what I believe you think it implies. It sounds to me as if, in your life, this term "unskilled labor" may be used as a slur --- is this the case? It is not the canonical intent behind "skilled/unskilled labor" terminology.

"Unskilled labor" means you don't spend years on preliminary education before you can even enter the job market. It means you can hire a person with no prior training or pertinent education and expect them to be able to succeed given a reasonable training program and work ethic. Compare this to "skilled labor" where entry into the field is gated upon higher education (or perhaps apprenticeship).

I'm not disparaging line cooks. As you say, it's very high-pressure, and experience and drive are critical to competency in such an environment.

PS. I do also agree that "differentiation" and "skilled/unskilled labor" are orthogonal concepts.
UCF researchers develop new rocket-propulsion system
I agree that the article is a little heavy on the author's opinion — the quote above neglects to put the perils of software and machine learning in any kind of relation to their positive impact, which makes it sort of pointless. Also, headlining a section "I don't care", when the (paraphrased) quote is "I don't care why people listen to me, as long as I have a positive impact", is just ridiculous.

I think there were two huge systemic/structural problems with Vietnam (aside from whether or not we should have even been there). First, McNamara had the wrong mental model of what war is. He thought like a GM chairman, where you want to outproduce and out-deliver a competitor, ie, that it's a numbers game. That was never ever going to work. Second, and this is even more serious, top brass at DoD never called the civilians on the fact that they had their heads stuck up their asses. Instead, oddly enough, they acted like little division chiefs in a large organization: don't make waves, get face time with the boss, make sure the TPS cover sheets are attached, and so forth. This meant that not only were we wrong, we had no system in place to learn from it. There were several new ideas that look quite effective created in the lower ranks. They were all shot down before word got out too far, though. It didn't make the rest of the system look good.
$15 CA is €9.50...The meal you describe would still cost more than that, maybe $20 CA & that would be the cheaper end of the spectrum (€7 Mittagsmenü, €3 wine, €1.5 espresso + 10% tip, then convert € to $CA).

If you're in central business locations in Mitte or Charlottenburg it would be more than that. That said you have very cheap options for Turkish, Arab or Vietnamese food in other districts like Neukölln. One of the best benefits I had when self-employed was the cheap & decent "ethnic" food options I had near the coworking space I chose in Neukölln vs having to go to the office in an expensive part of Mitte.
