Verizon also blocks messages based on the urls they contain. Not sure about specific TLDs, but surely whole domains. Discovered this by running a service that sends a lot of messages through Twilio. Not sure if you would ever be notified of the block when sending from your phone.

In my opinion is not really to block spam, but instead to push message senders to buy the carrier's more expensive shortcode option.

You asked if there are a large amount of successful web apps on Android, I provided evidence that points to the likelihood of it happening on that platform over iOS, due to official first party interest and efforts and improving them. You're moving the goalposts, and arguing just for the sake of arguing.

>where in my experience writing a couple markdown files and pushing them to github and checking the “serve this” box is easier than managing a server.

Making a site is more than "just some markdown files". Can you show me what you're talking about? Maybe I'm missing it. If you mean static-site generators (they aren't just a couple markdown files), they are very nerdy and have pretty bad UX for most people. I don't even use them. They are effectively developer-only, for one.

> This is a very strange statement to me.

Well, this is how things work. This goes back to the parable of the lumberjack who didn't have time to sharpen his axe, or the guy who didn't have time to write a shorter letter.

You just want to get something online that others can modify. Any additional second your pour into it is probably a waste of time. A niche website like JS1024 is down? Maybe nobody really cares. Maybe the only person willing to host this just does things this way. Oh well.

Edit: Your confusion here reminds me when I got my first dev job and was confused why the other developers never wanted to improve these obvious problems in the code. Or use new patterns. Or learn new things (16+yo VBScript app, the website was one 500k line switch statement running on IIS). "Doesn't anyone care?!" But as I got older, "I can't be fucked" or "cbf" made a lot more sense to me. Don't underestimate how often "cbf" answers your questions. ;)
Theoretically it should start with 'Nah', but most people starts with 'Neh' unless they're professional narrators.
Mainly because it was not a mere markdown. You can't see right now, but it had submission forms with previews and rating forms. Yes, you can route dynamic parts to elsewhere, but it was not really static for a while.
"I became rich when I earned more than I spent" are words spoken by a rich man with 0 self awareness. I can tell you the second my life became infinitely less stressful: when I paid off my student loans.

I too spent almost no money, went on almost no trips, and lived way, way below my means to make it happen in my 20s. It turns out as my income has increased my happiness has increased - and I'd agree with all the studies of once you cross a certain threshold in the 6-figure range that more money means "less". Generally it just means: I have nicer versions of the same things.

All that is to say: I sure as hell wasn't "rich" when I was making more than I owed each month, not even close. And I don't believe for a SECOND Derek would be happy going back to living in a flat with 3 other people, eating peanut butter sandwiches 3 days a week but "making more than he spends", which is what he implies.

Derek: there are people out there who are in their 50s who would still have to live with 3 other people and eat peanut butter sandwiches 5 days a week to earn more than they spend. THAT'S THE POINT. Maybe if I make $90k/month some day I'll also be blind to the reality of the common man, but I can still see it from this little perch I'm sitting on at the bottom of the mountain.
Loss aversion among the oligarch & owner classes will always result in fascism eventually, as enemies are created within or without to satisfy the will to power, which is itself the will to live: I am that I am. All of this has happened before, and unless we end it, all of this will happen again, assuming we have the opportunity to even try again. The violence of this loss aversion turned inwards is what destroys societies and makes them vulnerable to foreign invasion through more concrete material means of productions. In short: wealth inequality is fundamentally destructive to civilizations.
I have no idea what stage you are at for your idea, but I'd recommend trying to line up customers who love the product based on something you sketch out on a notebook (piece of paper) as a step one.

I'd also validate that the problem you are trying to solve is a really strong pain point for whoever is running into it. Having someone offer to pay you lots of money to solve it as a consultant is a good sign.

You can actually get pretty far with validating an idea before writing a line of code. You can even get potential customers to commit to paying you once it's built (some will renege later)

TLDR:
- there is a ton you can do before writing a line of code. In many cases since you are new on this journey, and your background is technical (stats, dabbling in code) the EASIEST part of the journey will be learning to build saas apps and/or finding a technical cofounder.
I’m sad to see that this was downvoted, it’s contains the key questions. I think they have good answers.

1) Eventually, everything will be lost anyway. The original print of King Kong is gone. A fire at Universal Studios wiped out the masters for a lot of music at once https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Universal_fire . Floods destroy family photos all the time. But those are examples of the forces of decay, of natural entropy, of error. The Library of Alexandria probably contained a lot of useless crap but also nuggets we’d want to know today. Information is memories, useful information is useful memories, and there’s no compelling REASON to lose it. Other sections of usenet history were wiped out when Google acquired it (a lot of comp.database.olap content I had a hand in) and groups of people just lost a knowledge base.

2) It’s not simply code that no one uses anymore. It’s a knowledge base on how and why, debates over constructs and usage that are useful beyond code-sharing snippets a la Stack Overflow.

3) There is an argument for letting some information get lost or at least super-obscure, but it’s hard to see this being a good example. Tide Pod Challenge videos come to mind. GDPR and right to be forgotten mandate something akin to information loss.

4) I posted this elsewhere but I’ll share here too: there was a comment made on the original article about preserving prior art for IP (patent) purposes. That alone is in the public interest. Irrelevant to your questions in general, but pertinent to each of them in this case.
Four years of someone's life for damaging an inanimate object? Absolutely absurd. Did people get hurt? No. Fuck that. I often wonder if the "justice" system is a worse thing than criminals some of the time.

> For all America’s warts it’s still the best place to live

This is hubris of the highest order. America doesn’t even make the top ten, typically. Example: https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/best-coun...

I look at the racism, the cronyism, the corruption, the “fuck your, I got mine” attitude, the militarization of the domestic police, the lack of a decent social safety net, the lack of mental health care, the proliferation of guns and the concomitant violence within society, the healthcare shambles, the education debacle, ... for $deity’s sake man, I can go on and on.

Here’s a hint: all countries have things that aren’t ideal. Not many countries have a list as long as the USA. If you want to claim you’re “the best place to live”, you need to compare yourself against the best that other countries have to offer, not the places people are desperate to escape from.

Maybe? Doing more interviews probably helps prepare you for interviews to a certain degree. If he's shortchanging his interviews by doing so many of them--e.g. by not researching the company--that's one thing. But, in general, unless you're following a very targeted strategy, I'd probably err on the side of applying to more companies rather than fewer. If he's just applying cold, the process is sufficiently random that you're usually best off primarily playing a numbers game.

It sucks, really, because st's great otherwise and it's not even their fault.

So what's the path from living with 4 other people working 40 hours a week at McDonald's to filthy rich? Haven't gone to college, don't have a skill that sets you apart (music/art/etc), and aren't particularly intelligent or scrappy. Seems to me there's literally no path from A to B.
Not really ironic here, since the top voted comment on every thread about Google or Facebook is about exactly that problem.

>Is a certain degree of extreme childhood trauma simply a fork in the road in a person's life that is never completely reversible? Does that kind of harm cause the person to be trapped in their own mind with the mental damage it causes? I personally believe it can in some cases. There is only so much you can do if you have the mental equivalent of your limbs being dismembered.

This accurately describes having an attachment disorder from early age methinks, and the fork being realizing it after examining the evidence or never realizing it and being stuck in a hell of self-blame.

An attachment disorder feels like the organ for interpersonal relationships is impaired or amputated, and it occasionally feels like having emotional schizophrenia, particularly when one is triggered.

In general, I agree, and I think it’s especially important in text.

A teacher is in a position of authoritative trust. As a student, after I learn an example is flawed, I often wonder if I’m just missing some context because I trust the teacher to have gotten it right. In a setting where communication is already established (e.g., a class room) this can be cleared up quickly with a question. In other settings (e.g., reading a text), it can leave me wondering until I reach a much higher level of competence.

I think it's an even money that Apple Silicon will mark the introduction of touch to macOS. In fact with Apple planning to make a big deal out of Silicon Macs natively supporting iOS apps, I'll be surprised if these Macs don't have multi-touch screens.

Apple has always been big on forcing app developers to rewrite UIs to the device, like they did with the iPhone-to-iPad transition. Without touch on Mac, many iOS apps are going to be janky as hell; an incredibly un-Apple thing indeed.
Location is dominated by the US via the GPS system which our government has unilateral control over (hence competing constellations).

Part of me also sees a potential National Security security angle to an oligopoly of US-based companies providing satellite internet everywhere. Countries are increasingly putting kill switches on their internet. In a period of conflict, where information flow is likely to be highly managed, its convenient to bypass all that infrastructure with satellite internet. I’m sure these satellites can pick and choose their frequency. No doubt we could point these things at North Korea.

Some of the mechanical keyboard scene is caving into collectorism, but it's not insane to pay this much for a keyboard that saved my wrists and career.

There's no keyboard out there for $100 that's split, ortholiner-ish, QMK or similar programmable, has layers, has thumb clusters, backlit keys, tented, and has hot-swappable mechanical keyswitches. I really wish there was.

I'm not offended, but there just isn't a product that compares at a price point that you think isn't excessive.

This. The chances of hiring folks to build an MVP and getting enough paying users off that to bring them on full time or getting enough traction to raise money are absurdly small. If you're already both very wealthy and are the single most famous person in your industry then maybe there's like a 10% chance of it working, if neither of those things apply then the chances are much closer to 0%. What will happen is that you'll spend a ton of money to build something, not really validate any assumptions or de-risk anything, and then be stuck with this poorly constructed prototype that's too complicated for you to modify yourself.

Spend six months learning to code, then try to build your product. If you're not making progress at a reasonable pace then just get a job as a full stack developer and spend a couple years learning from the best people in the industry while getting paid for it, and then finish your prototype on nights and weekends. After a couple years of working professionally as a developer, things that would have taken you a month you'll now be able to do in a day.

Yes and no. The problem is, the chipsets limit the number of thunderbolt ports you can offer without adding separate interface chips. That is why many other laptops come with one or two thunderbolt ports too. What Apple could have done, is offering plain USB ports etc., which the chipset would support. But as Apple wants all ports to have the same capabilities, they were quite limited by the maximum amount of thunderbolt ports supported.

While I think it would have been very convenient to add at least one USB-A style port and perhaps a dedicated HDMI port to their machines, I quite agree how nice it is, that all USB-C style ports do have the same capabilities.

Some questions to flush out some more details.

1.) Are you planning on making this your full time job?

2.) Who is your target customer?

3.) Do you know anyone who will be a customer the day it will launch?

4.) How much money are you willing to devote to the project?

5.) Will it do one thing well, or does it need have to have a lot of features?

6.) Is there already competition/is there already a piece of software that handles this problem?
They're using frequencies in the 10.7 to 30.0 GHz range (GPS is much lower at 1.575 GHz) that are already allocated to satellite operations. However, they do have to share these frequencies with others. You can read all the frequency stipulations in the FCC authorization.

https://docs.fcc.gov/public/attachments/FCC-20-102A1.pdf

For example, operation at 27.5 to 28.35 GHz overlaps a 5G millimeter band in the US. 5G is primary and satellite uplink is secondary in that band, so if Kuiper interferes with a 5G installation, they can be ordered to mitigate the interference (possibly by stopping transmissions).
The Kyria keyboard has sockets for rotary encoders on it, but that's more like a scroll wheel than a trackball. I've seen some folks hack them so that they can use Playstation style joysticks or thumb trackballs instead.

We may never know the history definitively, but it's likely the sale would have been under discussion for months, from when politicians were strongly indicating that TikTok's ownership structure wouldn't be acceptable in the long term but hadn't announced any concrete action.

Economies of scale. I bet Microsoft sells more Sculpts in a month than ZSA does in a year. Plus microsoft can make slim margins on their keyboard and make it up elsewhere; ZSA just sells keyboards and related accessories.
>He doesn’t play by any rules. You have to assume anything and everything is on the table. If he really wants to ban TikTok he’ll either get it done or scorch the earth trying.

History suggests otherwise - more often than not he neither gets it done nor scorches the earth trying:

■ Trump wanted to change the date of the election, or suspend it entirely.

■ Trump wanted to send the military in to quell domestic riots.

■ Trump wanted to force states to reopen on his timetable.

■ Trump wanted to force American companies to manufacture domestically.

■ Trump wanted to repeal DACA.

■ Trump wanted to repeal Obamacare.

■ Trump wanted to ban Muslim immigration.

■ Trump wanted to build a wall and make Mexico pay for it.

The list of things Trump has tried to make happen, only to be sent whimpering back into the corner like a whipped dog, far outstrips his actual accomplishments.
That seems like a bit of an overreaction on the company’s part though, doesn’t it? It’s not at all clear that the president had a legal avenue to ban the service, and he has certainly said a lot of outlandish things that don’t come to pass.

The Japanese Kamado referred to in the article is related to Korean Gamasot [1][2], with one crucial difference. The Korean version has a heavy, close-fitting, holeless iron lid that helps maintain a higher-than-atmospheric pressure inside the cooking vessel.

Higher pressure = higher boiling point = higher cooking temperature = different taste.

Korean rice cookers modeled after the Gamasot are basically autoclaves. The good ones maintain a pressure of about 2 atm and a cooking temperature of 120C. Unpressurized rice cookers are more common in Japan, and Japanese people are more used to the texture of rice cooked at 100C. Your sushi probably won't taste right if you cook the rice at 120C.
