Thanks! I'd love to hear your feedback. My email is in my profile.

Yes, I plan to do that. I've integrated two "sources" so far: Telegram and Hacker News. I'll add email and Slack next. I think filtering messages such that ordinary chit chat is separated from various important content and grouped by subject, it would be an awesome tool.
Very cool. Are you using just cowboy as a server or do you have nginx/Apache in front?
Very important points for a good life.

The steps I took to become more happy with my life:

1. Lower my expenses

2. Work from home

3. Work on things I like

4. Work when I want

I'm not rich, but I feel I can do what I want, when I want it.

I wrote a different piece on the same site that talks about homelessness as social death.

Homelessness is not and has never been purely about a lack of physical shelter. Articles on the topic routinely make a distinction between "homeless" and "unsheltered homeless."

Plenty of homeless people find shelter for the night. So being literally out in the weather all the time is not, per se, the entire definition of homelessness and it never was.

There are many, many ways in which lacking a home -- a fixed address with a sense of belonging -- negatively impacts health.

> as Uber grew from 10s to 100s of engineers with multiple teams owning pieces of the tech stack, the monolithic architecture tied the fate of teams together and made it difficult to operate independently.

I think this is key sentence. Microservices does not make a lot of sense for teams of 10s, while are a great tool for team of 100s.
The point isn’t that you should be looking downward, it is that you shouldn’t be looking upward. It creates eye and neck strain.

The article pleads for more workers rights and bargaining power. While I think that is a noble wish, it is an illusion, and they know it. The article describes "out of the box" thinking, but it is still hopelessly trapped.
In this case the journalist clearly meant "western science" was slow on the uptake and needed locals to point them on the way...and as late as 1911 at that!
That’s an over simplistic and not realistic view. Marihuana had a similar history as tobacco, opiates go back thousands of years, caffeine is deemed fine, alcohol was actually illegal for years, etc.

Considering the counter culture and anti war (and thus anti military industrial) sentiment being highly correlated with hippies getting lit—I think it’s impossible not to come to the conclusion that the powers that be consider mind expanding drugs to be a threat to the order of things.

This is how Mochi[0] works. It exports a .EDN file that describes the cards, decks and review history. There are a few libraries out there that work with the format[2] but no one has adopted the format in their own apps AFAIK. Anki also has an export format but it's not documented.

In my experience, c level folks just want someone who can produce a dashboard or executive report with a bunch of green check marks that basically say “yay! We’re secure”. They don’t care about the why, how, if the check marks are actually meaningful, etc. This mindset is then reinforced by vendors selling security snake oil - the entire infosec domain is a shit show; if infosec practitioners ever want to be taken seriously, they need to collectively get their shit together and organize around some real tangible standards.
I’m not aware of anything with that risk / liquidity profile which pays better? In fact theoretically there shouldn’t be anything.
But when the price drops back down you don't immediately drop your price because why would you charge $1.10 for something you paid $2 for?

But your competitor will lower their prices when they get a refill, so you may end up having to lower your prices before you get your own refill.
I'm not sure how widespread the agreement about the alternate interpretation is. (I've never seen anything where Frost himself stated how he intended the poem to be taken.) But I've always tended to believe it since hearing it from an English professor of mine back in school.
When I was living in the US, I used to enjoy hearing people talk about "being rich." (To understand this circumlocution, the reader must understand that they're all "middle class" over there.) The most egregious instance was when I was talking with someone in a VIP tent, watching her pro jumping her horse over fences in a competition. She'd made some kind of comment about how she was different from the people she had just been talking about, "because they have money." When I asked what she would do if she had money, she replied that she wasn't sure, but maybe she would "get a jet."
> This kind of turning on people who agree with you in principle but might have some of the details wrong is exactly the kind of fractally magnifying divisiveness that some of these subthreads are talking about.

I'm gonna take this and run with it.

IMO, one of the major things that drives "cancel culture" is concern about "concern trolling". I spend a decent amount of time on Reddit, and I've been downvoted to oblivion in the past for expressing nuanced views on some political topics. It's frustrating; yet, I can understand it. Between brigades and individual trolls, there absolutely are actors who get "some of the details wrong" in bad faith.

It all comes back to Poe's law. IRL there's body language and other clues that someone might not be arguing genuinely. On the internet it's extremely difficult to tell the difference. Without moderation, this can lead to things getting out of hand.

The on-prem Raiser's Edge hasn't been updated in a long time and is being phased out with the preference being for RENXT cloud version.

A lot of charities use Raiser's Edge, I wonder if they are also affected?

Although that BBC report says

"One of the affected institutions told the BBC the hack is affecting a product called NetCommunity which Blackbaud describes on its website as an 'alumni engagement and management software system for nonprofits.'"

... so maybe Raiser's Edge was not part of the hack
As an individual your chances are no doubt increased. But at a 65,000 + 20,000 H1B quota that is oversubscribed about 1 to 3 it's hard to imagine a situation where it somehow doesn't get exhausted.

Over 2/3 of H1B applicants would have to be OPT extension recipients AND you'd have to assume there is no hidden demand that would resurface given a drop in applicants.

You're right, but only technically. Leaded gas is in use in GA aircraft only. The overall contribution this makes to atmospheric pollution is infinitesimal. Diesel garbage trucks are worse for society the amount of leaded gas we still burn.
One of the most effective ways I know to do that is to read books written by people who have run technology companies, or about technology companies by insiders, or by venture capitalists, or biographies of important figures, or about the history of technology world, or books recommended or mentioned by any of the above. You get examples on a canvas you're familiar with.

I'll read books mentioned in interviews of people who have a track record. Even watching a video like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aW5gdRRn_U (check out the first comment and replies). It only lasted a few seconds, but we got the books in the background figured out. We recognized some by the spine.

There are a lot of things that are the way they are because someone did something at some point, and it's only reading a book where the author mentions an anecdote that you piece things together. There are entire deals that didn't happen because someone was a jerk to another years before that. These books also expose a situation, and the decisions made in a certain context, the tradeoffs, etc. How people went about the product, which strategies they used to find a market, how conflicts arose and were handled with.

But, back to your ask:

Wharton has a "Business Foundations"[0] series on Coursera which includes entire courses on marketing, accounting, finance.

Microeconomics (two or three books you find in every course: the ones by Pindyck, Perloff, and Mankiw. Either named "Microeconomics" and "Principles of Microeconomics").

You can checkout the MIT OCW courses on these.

I agree, my summary of the post: "Frontend is engineering too" which I 100% agree with, however the notion of not splitting up systems into functional goals is a mistake.

User-facing applications just have different goals from an application consumed via API. Practically when you split up a system into a client facing application and an API application, from my experience and reasoning, it's always been because it results in a far easier to manage development process.

The simpler you can make your system the less likely it will be to fail by any measure. So breaking systems up into smaller systems is just easier and simpler. One such division that is really easy is the backend and frontend.

Model View Controller type frameworks are a great practical example of why breaking systems up makes them much easier to construct.

You can only really have those kinds of discussions calmly if you're not at all affected by the decision. It doesn't have anything to do with a functioning society. If you're black it's hard to have a dispassionate discussion about stop-and-frisk or no-knock raids.

If I point a gun to your head do you think we can stand there and have a calm and rational discussion about whether I should pull the trigger? Of course not! You're going to fight to protect yourself.

A strict diet might weaken you right? Many cancer patient get very thin and I guess you don't want to start the treatment like that so you miss fat reserves.
Maybe so. In this case the breach occurred at a third party software vendor. You’d need to write a similar guarantee into any contracts you signed with vendors.
I think you're right. I'll stick to the day job.

This is what happened during Katrina and some of the hurricanes of the past decade or two.

The situation with the banks is slightly different.

The odds that the product, money, will cost more for them in the future does not line up with the recent history of bailouts, regulation changes, etc.

During Katrina, for example, it was a safe bet for the gas station owners that the next batch of gasoline could cost significantly more.
A reasonable assumption due to the multiple wars in the middle east combined with a bad hurricane season shutting down gulf coast refineries.

In other words, the Federal Reserve did not run a discount window to provide cheap oil to gas stations. Even the strategic petroleum reserve, if tapped, would only benefit the refineries.

At any rate, one could argue that in both situations the entities involved made the safest and most profitable decision available to them.

There have been reports of huge overdosis, e.g. by miscalculation by a factor of 1000 or even more.

It's a similar story in my cybersecurity Master's program. Many students seem to lack any dev or administration skills and are basically locked out of the high quality, practical classes because of it.

I'm always curious on what type of feedback the author really is looking for or if it is just cheap ad.

$5 for unlimited and basically 25 cards for 'free' makes it quite obvious that this tool does not provide anything the market already offers.

Aren't people analysing what is already out there?

Anki/Ankiweb is free. What student will every pay $5/month for your service? No one.

I assume that you will visit your subscription numbers, your page counts for a few weeks, you will see no magic and sudden richness, and either you loos interest or you discover that someone is misusing your server through some bug and you shut it down.

I don't wanna be pessimistic, don't get me wrong, but i really want to know what your mental idea was showing it here.

If you really wanna have feedback:
- Make it as simple and fast and easy to create new cards/decks
- Add an IOS/Android App; Either native or PWA
- Fix your unicode stuff , doesn't work everywhere just because it works on your pc
- Actually teach people how to write proper cards; Your description, to be honest, is as shitty avg as any other website

And as a final point: Actually think of something which is worth $5 per Month and makes any difference to what the market already has to offer.
I came here to make a comment about CIA's Project MKUltra so I'll just add a quote about the use of LSD from the Wikipedia article:

Considering that this is coming from the same drug culture that uses the word "molly" refer to "some mixture of empatheogenic drugs and possibly some amphetamine", expecting specificity from your terminology is a bit unrealistic.

I'm not (just) being judgmental here: volunteering harm reduction at festivals, the number 1 problem we had was that users had no idea what they had put into their bodies.

Actual chemists, no doubt, don't use any of this terminology since chemical reactions don't produce the desired results if you're vague about what you put into them.
People can absolutely do whatever they want to themselves of course. My concern is when they turn around and sell CRISPR kits and misinform the public so people like me (biologists/biohackers with connections to the DIY space) get asked by people suffering from currently incurable rare diseases how to CRISPR themselves to make it go away. It must be safe because they saw that guy do it on the internet and maybe he gave a tedx talk about it or something. The most you can do in that situation is be empathetic and try to have a conversation about why that's not a good idea. The one thing that makes the situation not as bad as it could be is that all of these DIY CRISPR kits suck. They're not likely to give themselves all the cancers since CAS9 probably isn't going to make it inside a single nucleus to wreck havoc on their DNA. The irresponsibility I'm referring to with these charlatans "educating" the public as biology "experts" so they can sell their DIY kits. They should still be free to do this and sell those kits (dialing down the medical talk since that is practicing medicine without a license) - but just because I think people should have the right to do that doesnt mean I think they should or that it is good for society, since the negative externalities are heartbreaking.

I wonder when it'll shift that people that can do remote work move to these towns specifically for the lower cost of living.

In my circle of friends who do usually work remote, there are a few that want to move to more rural areas. The number one concern is availability of broadband, which is just terrible in Germany. Further down is friends/family not being close and possibly sticking out very much. I don't think remoteness is an actual issue (because there really isn't remoteness anywhere in Germany, it's very densely populated, and saving a lot on rent & co might well offset the cost for a few hours of driving every other weekend to meet friends.

The way I learned it, if you mix an acid and a base, you get a salt and water. Table salt (NaCl) is the result of mixing hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH):

HCl + NaOH -> HOH (water) + NaCl

But if you mix a different acid and a different base, you'll get a different salt, for example if you mix sulphuric acid and calcium hydroxide, you get calcium sulfate:

H2SO4 + Ca(OH)2 -> 2(HOH) + CaSO4

Calcium sulfate is just a different salt.
