"Why should American taxpayers throw good money at pandemic planning when they only happen about once every hundred years in the US? The last one was what, almost exactly a hundred years ago, what are the odds it would happen during this administration?"

Great question. What's different in our case is that the flight controller captures the boat’s movements from 7 sensors. Then it establishes the full-state 3×6 state matrix (position, velocity and acceleration with regards to position in x, y and x and rotation around the same axis). This is partly done using sensor fusion algorithms.

We then use the outputs to control the angle of attack, along the longitudinal axis of the foil, essentially twisting it. The R&D that has gone into making this work reliably enough for a consumer product is our secret sauce.

The subsidies mostly aren't in exclusive cash - although they have a razor and blades style price shifting for upfront hardware and "console tax" on games but in "standardization" - having a big 3 or so system configurations to design and test for is easy and gives them a big market with just one and the biggest if across all 3 compared to Windows PCs and their minority of minorities mac and Linux share.

I think we should not talk about regions of the country like they are sports teams that we root for or against. Texas is very nice with lots of nice people California is very nice with lots of nice people.
Not if you call a cab and they say "we dispatched a driver" and then that driver never shows up. There wasn't accountability with the old system, hopefully Uber/Lyft have forced cab companies to evolve. The apps in some cities are a promising sign but aren't universal.

I don’t see any huge, monolithic nations not moving toward this goal.

Putin seems to be quite good at it, but that doesn’t discount the effects in countries he doesn’t run. The global superpowers all dream of having a system like that, and all are various steps toward achieving it.

Here’s the same text, region modified:

> There's constantly talks about how America is the only true God's country, and that it's a moral savior of the world. There's an instilled feeling of victimhood, almost sainthood, of the American way of life. Everything that happens is somebody else's fault, a foreign influence, an accident, or sabotage. They truly believe that americans are the greatest people on Earth.

Sound familiar?
You're talking about durability, but what about agency?
The linker doesn't sign every binary - it signs every binary it links - i.e. binaries you build on the machine.

That is not the same as it signing "every binary", otherwise there would be no point in signing in the first place.

I'm not sure how I feel about it, personally. I think code signing is a great idea. I just don't believe this single authority approach is the way to do it. I totally understand that as you already trust apple to provide the OS, it makes sense that you can trust them to sign apps - but that shouldn't mean you cant (as a user) choose to trust other parties.

Of course, they don't actually check the apps aren't malicious - they don't even check that you are a real person when you create a dev account... But they do have a signature they can revoke if your software is exposed as malware.

You are using a completely subjective opinion of "treating their drivers right". Have you spoken to many drivers about what they actually want?

What do you think independent contractor means? Do you think that nobody should be independent then? Do you realize that full-time driving jobs already exist? Why do you presume that drivers can't make this choice for themselves? Why can't the people who are unhappy with the earnings just stop driving? Why is it better for both riders and drivers to lose this service and income by forced legislation when it already works fine for millions?
Uber and Lyft didn't exist before, and folks managed fine without owning cars.

Also wait and see what they do post election. The outcome of Prop 22 will decide what their true response is, until then this is just grandstanding to force voters to vote yes.
> Finding product-market fit is not something you can engineer with perfect foresight.

I think the larger problem is that is marketing is near ignored and not just by engineers either. Not many people want to talk to potential customers or users to see if there's product market fit, so they don't talk and listen to anyone outside of the friends and their team which is a huge mistake when they just go ahead and build. This is why I feel that Product Hunt's various hack fest events are more valuable than YC's virtual startup school. Product Hunt's hackfests are ingenious marketing classes in disguise. Product Hunt really forces you in a methodical way to market your product before it's built. What most people don't realize is that it's so important to build an audience before you finish building your product. Ryan Hoover and Co are right: "Build it and they will come" in most cases is a myth.
> This article is just repeating the same Apple messaging points they've given us.

Unrelated, but this is just about my least favorite criticism of an argument. "Messaging points" are used/reused because they're usually the strongest arguments. By pointing this out, you're just saying "this person is just repeating the strongest arguments". Attack the argument, not its provenance!

This is where the gig economy shines, when people want to use it to make extra money on the side or push to achieve financial goals. However, by your own admission you did it because you were "bored" and wanted to make some money.

Unfortunately many gig workers don't have the privilege. I'm assuming here but you probably had another job and benefits. There are many workers who don't, and are turning to Uber or Lyft just to put food on the table and are being forced into working without paid vacation, sick leave, or benefits simply because they have no other options.

I think corporations taking advantages of the imbalances is a race to the bottom. I believe we should find a 21st century approach to fixing these imbalances so that we don't take opportunities like yours away, but also work to protect labor rights/power that has been much eroded in the last decades.

Note that following the lean startup method does not itself guarantee success. I know at least a half dozen founders who have followed the Lean Startup method (several of whom were actually in Steve Blank's class at Berkeley), and in all cases the result of their 100 interviews was "Welp, nobody wants that product." Which I guess is preferable to investing 3 years and $15M in venture capital into it, but it also doesn't get you any closer to a successful startup. (When I followed the Lean Startup method myself, it was actually worse - our 100 interviews said "Yes, we definitely want it", we built it, and then nobody used it. At least I took every engineering shortcut possible to build & validate it quickly and didn't waste time making it bulletproof before people tried it out.)

Also interestingly, a large number of gigantic corporations today did not follow the Lean Startup method, and arguably weren't trying to found a startup at all. Apple, Google, Facebook, E-bay, Dropbox, AirBnB - they were founded because their founders were curious and trying to scratch their own itch, and it turned out lots of other people had that itch too.

If I had to distill lessons learned from about a decade in startups (7.5 years founding ones of my own and 2.5 years working for other people), it'd be "Trust my emotions more, be curious, and quit trying to found a damn startup." The problem is that you need to judge new ideas emotionally rather than rationally, but when you have the "I'm going to build something awesome and get totally rich" mentality, it distorts all your emotions. Better to get rich by working in finance or for a FAANG, reserve some time on the side to explore, and only set out on your own when there's something incredibly exciting on the table.

I find that America tends to export its culture. Its genius is its willingness to appeal to the lowest common denominator, which others find repulsive and yet, gradually, succumb to.

Already I find hints that other English-speaking countries are studying the effectiveness of our extremist tactics (goaded, in part, by our geopolitical opponents). I think you'll see more of it elsewhere in coming decades. They'll do it because it works.

It's not a foregone conclusion, but watch out for it. I don't know how to tell you to prevent it; it works inexorably. I hope they figure something out, even if it's just having a national character that's more repulsed by it than ours turns out to be. But do not rely on that, because we're just 65 years removed from Eisenhower ourselves.
From my understanding, the shutdown is to avoid classifying drivers as employees. Nothing has to change except Uber/Lyft having to pay payroll taxes and provide benefits for drivers working full time hours. It has nothing to do with flexibility. It's about a shifting tax burden. This shift may make the business model unprofitable without significantly raising prices.

When most people describe Judaism this way they are only thinking of Ashkenazi Jews. My family comes from eastern Europe. We are not the same race as Ethiopian Jews. Nor do we have the same food, music or culture any more than a Christian from Mexico and a Christian from China.

I'd like to see the p-value on states' political lean vs the size of their economy. Looking at the top 10 state economies on your list, 3 are swing states and 3 are red states, leaving only 4 (far from "pretty much all") as blue states. Even looking 10 states further down, into the top 20, adds 5 red states, 3 swing states, and only 2 blue states.
I don't think it should be. I think punches above a certain threshold of force shouldn't be permitted, regardless of whether they're aimed left, right, up, down, or diagonally. Also, who exactly is definitively judging these directions in each of these cases? What's the judgment criteria when two people reside among a distribution of different relative directions across multiple different parameters?

I think eliminating double standards in the enforcement of these policies is crucial for them to be effective and accepted by a community. You're just trading one set of implicit and explicit biases in for another, and many of the same issues start to bubble up. Yes, certainly not all of the same issues in the case of one group wielding more capability to carry out a threat than another group, but many of the important ones, especially when it comes to matters of epistemology and reasoning.
I ignored the argument because I could not have reasonably engaged with it and decided that I disagree?
> It's similar in some ways to the concept of block time, in which there is no progression of time. The universe simply exists and the perception of the 'present' is an illusion. Similarly for Minsky the perception of reality or existence is an illusion.

Labeling something an "illusion" like that seems like a massive cop-out, made by a mapmaker to avoid confronting the fact that their maps don't fully represent the territory. Fossils weren't illusions, and I don't think the present or existence are illusions either.

I switched to KeePassXC because KeePassX had a bug where you could silently lose data if you made changes to the notes section of an entry and hit `Esc` without remembering to save.

KeePassX won't prompt you at all and silently drops all those changes, whereas KeePassXC will ask what to do.

KeePassXC also seems to immediately save changes upon adding new entries whereas KeePassX requires an explicit <ctrl-s>.
Anyone in the USA can walk into an emergency room to get treatment - the public is paying for that through high hospital fees and direct subsidies.

Instead of waiting for someone with the flu to develop pneumonia and go to the ER because he can't breath, it'd be much cheaper to subsidize his visit to a primary care physician that he can go to before he needs a hospital.

To relate a personal experience, I have a relative that's had drug addiction problems all her life -- a few years back she had a cold or flu, couldn't afford to see a doctor so tried to ride it out at home, fortunately, she called her mom and told her how sick she was. When she didn't respond to the phone the next day, her parents drove across the state to check on her, found her near comatose and called 911. She had some bacterial pneumonia and almost died, she spent 10 days in the hospital, 5 of those days were in the ICU, intubated and in an induced coma. Because she was working and had some moderate income, she had lost her eligibility for state subsidized medical insurance. After taking 6 weeks off work to recover, she of course, lost her job, then she qualified for health care coverage and state disability payments.

The total hospital bill was over $300,000. Since she had no income or assets, the hospital wrote off the entire bill and absorbed the charges.

All of this because the public didn't want to pay $100 for her to see a doctor and get some antibiotics.
> and lacks zero days

AFAIK mobile Safari is the primary source of vulnerabilities on iOS, zero days regarding it cost less than on other platforms on the black market (supposedly because they are easier to find/exploit) but Apple doesn't allow to replace it.

That's a serious security flaw in my opinion.
The 'service bureau' does what you're talking about, and has done for a very long time.

I have no idea about the current level of activity in this sector (mainframe proceesing as a service), but would not be at all surprised to find it greatly diminished from it's heyday when dinosaurs roamed the raised floor.

I don't think it takes a huge leap to draw a connection between these businesses and the cloud providers of today.
"By far the most common reason for shutdown was lack of product-market-fit which constituted more than half of the marketing mistakes"

During the dotcom boom of the late 90's the issues in the Valley were often attributed to a lack of engineering talent. However, after the bust many founders and execs realized that their failures were not due to a lack of product and engineering talent, but that there were too many engineers putting out products that the market did not want or need.

This study seems to validate that idea. Without a clear understanding of the market and how to reach your potential customers, your idea is likely not worth the time. Spend more time on understanding the market, and how to reach it, and you will have a much better chance at success.
Why should an employer be allowed to fire someone for religious beliefs, unless they specifically make the person unable to do their job?
It was bold to lay out two criteria in direct tension with one another and then not address the tension.

1. Be wary of views coming from people who are not free to speak their minds on the topic at hand, because of their existing incentives.

2. Favor views from those who get paid for being right, discount views from those who get paid for sounding right.

In order to get paid for being right, you have to place a bet. Once you've placed a bet, you have incentives and aren't free to speak your mind. Obviously these are both matters of degree and some compromise can be had, but the process of hashing out the compromise seems like the "secret compartment" into which these filters squeeze all of the original complexity.
The discussion around malaria is always really strange to me, because it's so close to home and yet so far away at the same time.

At this point I've frankly lost count of the number of times I've contracted malaria, but I'm willing to bet it's well over fifty. I understand, theoretically, that it kills an obscene amount of people a year, but it doesn't really sink in that it's actually a deadly disease. I've never felt fear for my life while sick with it.

I wonder how much simply having access to the bare minimum of standard healthcare would reduce the number of fatalities per year.

You pay extra when you're younger to pay for older people's healthcare. The ACA restricted health insurance premiums for older, costlier people as a multiple of the ideal 21 to 24 year old healthy person. NJ has a good pdf showing how premiums are calculated.

https://www.state.nj.us/dobi/division_insurance/ihcseh/ihcra...

If you see at the bottom, a 60 year old's age rating factor is 2.714 times a 21 year old's. Which means their premium can't exceed 2.714 times a 21 year old. Obviously a 60 year old uses far more healthcare than 2.7 times the healthcare a 21 year old uses, so effectively it's a tax on the 21 year old to pay for the 60 year old's healthcare.
I mean they literally invented race to enslave entire groups of people. And it's hardly like Europe stopped interfering or exploiting even with the 21st century.
Oh, no one would probably bother to cite it because it's right there in the request for proposals in black and white and they explicitly talk about it repeatedly at the SBIR conferences.

You finish your phase 1 in 9 months to a year depending. Then you apply for phase 2 which takes 3-6 months to review and fund. That's the death valley I mean, the lag between finishing phase 1 and starting phase 2.

If you don't have non-grant funding by then, you're self-funding the company for six months of being strung along waiting for them to make a decision. It sucks, especially when VCs have no interest in funding projects that are as hard to understand as my stuff (catalysts and chemicals and machine learning) when they can just fund Uber for cats or whatever.

I'm too tired to keep trying for it, but at least people are finally starting to recognize that chemical manufacturing infrastructure is pretty critical and that we don't understand much of it at all and that if we want to use bio-sourced chemicals we need to really understand this at a global systems level an awful lot better.

But we won't, we'll just try to bolt on bio stuff to horrible legacy systems and make a marginal improvement instead of a generational breakthrough. But if anyone reading this happens to actually be working on this give me a ring... it's my passion in life to fix this because I see it as reducing energy consumption and also improving agriculture through improved ammonia production processes. I am just unable to work on it because of life. And I really don't want to start another company at this point.
