I told him that too. People put too much emphasis on “Launch Day”, when really Launch Day should be day one and every day after. Never stop promoting and publicly “Launching” new features. Also too many people launching to Hacker News, Product Hunt, and Reddit where their peers hangout instead of places where their customers hangout.
Don't worry, you're not alone, I have a similar opinion!

This is great. I find I often do these things at work (such as second order thinking) but have never attempted to encapsulate it or differentiate from other ways of looking at things. Thank you for sharing.
Peldi is just super friendly and a superhero with customer support. I believe that played a big role in the beginning, and perhaps later.

I knew Peldi from the Flash days. Met him once or twice in SFO, and he has an infectious smile and was super friendly.

Once, one of our team was showing me Balsamiq and they all liked it. I tried and it was super easy to use. I went to buy the license or I went to ask how to buy it, and Peldi replied back, something in the lines of, "Free for you buddy. You did enough for the community, this is the least I can do." That was also the time when I realized Peldi was behind Balsamiq.

I had had various interactions with him, not just about Balsamiq but asking him stupid questions, advice, and networking introductions.

The tragedy of democracies is that it does not really encourage democracies elsewhere. As leaders of a democracy strive for high living standards within their own borders, wages and thus the cost of living goes up. But participants in a democracy (i.e. the voters) still wish to encourage their leaders for cheaper products. Be it bananas or electronics.

In an isolated system, the consequence of such advances in social structures should be that the newer higher cost of living is the price one pays for a higher standard of living. But countries aren't isolated, and thus democratic leaders try to exploit less democratic countries for their own benefits, be it via covert action, foreign aid or other forms of diplomatic pressure.

China, on the other hand, is one of the few (former, I should say) developing nations that have fought back, once they gained enough political power internationally. The Western world have become heavily reliant on China and its cheap production engine (to put it very simply), and China can thus force the same Western democracies to side with them on diplomatic issues closer to their home.

Ask an American or a Frenchman how important to their livelihood Hong Kong's freedom or Taiwan's independence is, and they would probably rate it low among their list of priorities. Their cheap electronics come first. Does it matter to a Canadian shopkeeper whether Muslim minorities in China are treated humanely? Probably not as much as access to Chinese manufactured equipment.

You may be quick to think our leaders are corrupted by the Chinese regime, but in reality, they are merely doing what their voters want them to do. Voters tend to be rather narrowly focused on what is in front of them, rather than wanting their government spent money and resources on someone else's freedom. Particularly if those regimes avoid directly attacking those democracies (see Pearl Harbor for an example of this mistake).

The UK should have offered citizenship to residents of Hong Kong prior to 1997. It exploited the colony and local residents of HK as much as China does now.

Offering them citizenship will allow residents a way of moving to the UK, but it does not guarantee them consular rights in Hong Kong. China already takes the view that a HK Chinese resident is a citizen of China, subject to its laws irrespective of other citizenships and will not allow consular assistance.

As for Taiwan, Nixon and other swapped "allegiance" from the ROC to PRC in 1972. Most nations do not havce diplomatic relations with the ROC because if they do, then PRC withdraws diplomatic recognition and negotiation with them.

Note that Taiwan's government does not want "independence". They still claim to be the legitimate government of the whole of China, even though that status was lost in the UN in 1971. Both the ROC and PRC claim that Taiwan is part of China, but differ (obviously) as to which government is "legitimate".

I worked in aerospace during the transition from Ariane 4 to Ariane 5. The Ariane 4 was a versatile modular launch system and widely considered a successful project. The Ariane 5, on the other hand, was struggling at the time. A large part was because it originally was designed to be a launcher for the Hermes space plane. Hermes was never built, but the design decisions that were made because of it had many negative consequences for the Ariane 5. Most importantly it was not very economic for launching smaller satellites.

It was quite natural to think of enhancing the successful Ariane 4 design instead of building Ariane 5. From the conversations I remember from that time this was not considered a viable path - mostly because the supply chain of the Ariane 4 parts had already gone dry and it was not considered realistic to rebuild them.

For me as a young engineer this was very surprising, but a few years later I understood two things much better:

1. The knowledge to build projects of this scale is very distributed.
There were subcontractors over subcontractors (spread over several
countries) and every one had some tacit knowledge viable for the project.

2. Setup cost for parts production is relevant, even for the small series productions common in aerospace.
That sounds like a tricky message to deliver:

1. It could easily come across as "my time is more important than yours".
2. Depending on what they are asking for and how urgently they are treating it, they might not want a lesson in solving their own problems. They just want help fixing the problem.
3. A lot of people are self-centred. Of course their problem should be your top priority and you should drop what you're doing! /s

...So yeah, I'd be surprised if it didn't get a bad reaction sometimes. Perhaps seek to promote this approach when their problem is resolved. I would imagine they would be more receptive then.

How about countries provide citizenship for refugee status if someone is being politically targeted?

If not done officially, but everyone knows that by being a political activist you can get foreign citizenship, you have just motivated people to fight!

Edit: dual-citizenship for an activist puts a China into a catch-22. China can’t complain if the optics are that the activist is just a normal person asserting their rights. If China does attack the activist, then the other country can rightfully argue that the activist is a political refugee, and as a citizen of their country they can defend them properly.
Confront him with the fact you know it or step away.

You might want to hear his side before taking any action.
That was the bait, not the malathion itself.

There was a conspiracy, supported by both investigations. Whether the evidence rises to the level of implicating the president, wasn’t a conclusion left for Mueller, it was left for the Senate, which chose to ignore the evidence.
That would be a great solution if Taiwan offered citizenship to HK citizens or political refugees. Otherwise I don’t understand how that would help HK citizens.

An antitrust case wouldn't really apply in a situation when all these services and tools have numerous alternatives and no one is compelled to use any of them in isolation or together. Not to mention the fact that a great deal of this things listed are open source, or offer a free tire. Hard to make a case for unfair competition practices of vertical integration when you give away those services and tools and alternatives are a click away, of not without costs from migration and loss of network effects for having to leave the established platform for a given ecosystem.

The real argument is that the ever increasing scope of these entities create moats far out from the walls of their code product to drive user inwards to the paid offerings and, either by design or happen stance, alt the earth for miles from other smaller rivals gaining any foot holds delivering a service to sections of the user base of these hegemonic organisations from which in time might see the smaller rivals use such traction to then offer competing alternatives of those paid services which hegemonic organisations are based on.

Even without a spreadsheet that's obvious if you spend 5 minutes thinking about all the popular songs you know from the past.

We only remember the interesting and original songs, we don't remember the bland and forgettable songs from previous years. People compare the songs we remember with the generic chart topper du jour and complain that all music these days is bland and forgettable.

People remember Michael Jackson's music not just because it was incredibly popular, but because it was unique. People don't remember that during the same time, songs such as Chuck Berry - My Ding-A-Ling [1] also grabbed the number 1 spot.

well, no, the web audio API & stuff is explicitly being sold as something that will be equal in capability to other solutions, so definitely things used for pro audio.
The tools on the linked website are very basic which are used on a daily basis:

"Connection circles": side-effects

The line about the experiment made me consider if "no ideas" is a symptom or a cause.

Borrowing from epidemiology, I think "no ideas" might be an effect modifier. That is, it is just an intermediate step when going from the exposing factor to the outcome (the outcome, we know, is failing start-ups). It would be interesting to know what the real proximal cause is, or at least a really good proxy for it.

Maybe YCombinator could benefit from the input of a biostatistician or similar statistical expert to design some cohort studies on start ups.
If it's legal, people prefer credit card over Blockchain.

The issue I have with Deno is not only comparing to NodeJS. If you might use Deno it means you are open to switching platform and even language of you were not going TS already. And if you are at this point, you might as well choose any plateforms, for example one that use a better (with stronger types) programming language and a bigger ecosystem (scala, swift, rust, F#, java, ocaml, kotlin... At this point I feel nearly any other languages fit this description ^^). I have been doing Typescript for a while now, it's probably as good as it could be doing what it does (being a JS add on), but if you don't have this constraint, there are many better options.

You can argue that democracy is merely an empty shell wherein to levy opinions. And in that context, I am talking about liberal capitalist democracies. But the voters themselves are capitalist, or rather don't have a problem with capitalism, hence why they don't vote leaders out that follow a capitalistic line.

But I would not say I am conflating the two. The simple equation is that democracy does not foster democracy by itself. Capitalism in those democracies hinters that.

> I think this is a great idea and would be 100% in favor of recognizing the people of Taiwan in their independence. Admittedly I am not a diplomat and don't know what the repercussions of that would be. Still.. it just feels like the right thing to do.

At a minimum the PRC would break of diplomatic relations (it refuses to have relations with any country that also recognizes Taiwan). However it would be interesting (and dangerous) to see what the PRC would do if the US or an un-ignorable block of countries like the EU broke the status-quo and recognized Taiwan. The PRC is far less isolated and self-sufficient than it was when major powers last officially recognized Taiwan.

Half of the US and almost all of the world can't afford to be wasteful for reasons having nothing whatsoever to do with emotional attachments.

People react emotionally to waste not because of emotional attachments to things but because wasting feels shameful to people who worry about having enough.

Your view of Taiwan's government is somewhat outdated. The KMT party (which once ruled China, and for decades ruled Taiwan) has suffered a series of overwhelming electoral defeats, and the now-ruling DPP party has a platform of "Taiwan" as an independent nation, rather than the (exiled) "Republic of China."

Having reliable, auditable, public protocols which can operate without the blessing of the world’s existing governments is precisely the point.

Killer examples include any products or services which would provide a net positive value to society but are currently outlawed within various geographic territories for superstitious reasons and/or to protect existing industries from competition.

Prediction markets are an excellent example here: a substantial body of research now indicates that 1) prediction markets are superior to all other strategies in predicting any quantifiable event (because they are “meta tools” which inherently incorporate the best information from all strategies) and 2) non-private markets can’t be used for manipulating elections, sponsoring assassinations, or incentivizing real-world action of any sort. (In any prediction market with a public order book, any attempted “action-incentivizing position” can be consumed by arbitrage until all that remains is a measure of the event’s real probability). For several decades, researchers from dozens of universities have lobbied for relaxing the ban on prediction markets in USA, with little progress to show. Until that ban is lifted (which could take decades longer), blockchain-based prediction markets will have no domestic competition.

Also worth noting: even in the presence of legal, centralized prediction markets, decentralized prediction market protocols may still be competitive because they require far less counterparty-risk, allowing them to safely support higher volumes and larger positions.

I too wish I could relief myself of any responsibility, and levy the blame entirely on the corrupt system, that I have little-to-no influence over. But the truth is, the people of any democracy are the true source of power. And if I asked you to join me in rising up against our current flawed political system, you'd probably hesitate as you are probably doing well enough to not wanting to rock the boat.

I know this, because I am the same. I recognise that our systems are flawed, but I also recognise that I - as a voter - am partially to blame for this. And yet, I also feel comfortable enough to let and let live.
