Pretty much a good place to get started so you have something actionable is:

1. find out who your users are, and go talk to them

2. your marketing usually will fuel your sales

3. you'll do a lot iteration with 1&2

4. figure out how long your sale cycle will be

5. Usually sales is a full time job, so delegating it to someone might be useful

Advice in this thread is pretty good. im gonna need to write about it later here to remember:

That’s really not what that means. The 4th satellite Vanguard 1 was put into orbit in 1964 and it’s expected to have a 240-year orbital lifetime despite getting to within 657.3 kilometers of earth. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanguard_1

Geosynchronous satellites 35,786 km (22,236 mi) are going to be up there for a very long time.

You don't need to be good at selling.

If you are first starting out then what you really need to do is find/build a product that your customers want. You can't sell a product that no one wants. If you are a master seller and if you somehow manage to sell something no one wants then it won't scale.

Try to have calls with potential customers who are interested in your product. If your product is solving a problem then it should be easy to have calls and the customer will ask to buy it. If not, try to understand what they need and iterate.

Maybe this is just your way of procrastinating. I procrastinate from building a company because I tell myself I'm not a software engineer, but I could find a way to do it if I really really wanted to.

If you still feel like you want advice on selling, happy to offer it since I've been doing for my entire career at startups.
More specifically, slowing them in zones where they share space with pedestrians (and bicycles). You can go 150kph in highway and its still safe (as safe as 120). But in a city, speed limits of 30 would slash pedestrian and cyclist fatalities. Accidents, when they happen, would be mostly nonfatal.

Until the US army starts to fail

The US Army has been failing for decades. It's just that this hasn't greatly mattered because the adversaries were small, powerless countries that didn't have the capability to hit back, only to resist.

Sooner or later, the US will be in conflict with an adversary that does have the capability to hit back as well as to resist, and it won't be pretty.

The analogy is Germany attacking the Soviets. Everybody expected to Soviets to last a mere six to ten weeks. Instead they lasted just under four years and overran Berlin.
I think there are a lot of lessons here. Here is what I got:

One is that the simple $20 solution was discovered, but it may never have been. There was an element of luck in that. How often has that been the case in software? I see it all the time.

Given there is an element of luck, to maximise luck you want to pull in ideas from many places. Line workers are a great source of ideas. You can then apply a filtering process to decide which idea to try out. The fan idea would be tried out due to it being a low hanging fruit sort of fix.
maybe migrating dense urban areas could finance long range EV design / research ?
At those prices, there are vastly bigger addressable markets elsewhere.
People always -- always -- pull cattle-vs-pets on me after I advocate for this position, but I've slaughtered more machines than any of you. The problem is that you are treating your logs as pets when the truth is the logs are also cattle. Virtually all debug logs will pass through their life cycle without being read, so indexing them is just a flagrant waste of energy.

I vaguely recall risc-v having no status flags, instead preferring explicit instructions to check for such things. The idea is that, instead of implicitly paying for the checks on every operation whether or not you need it, you explicitly pay for it when you need it. At the hardware level, there's less interconnects and so all operations can be implemented simpler or faster.

Integer overflow on addition of two unsigned values can be detected by comparing the result to one of the operands to see if it's smaller, which can probably be done in one additional instruction. I'm sure there's suitably clever tricks for signed addition as well as subtraction. All stuff that a compiler can implement appropriately.

Maybe this limits the relative usefulness of risc-v silicon for programming languages that do a lot of safety checking. If your CPU spends 10% of its time doing additional runtime "safety" instructions vs. other architectures, but takes up 10% less space or runs 10% faster due to the simplicity, it seems like a wash though. Programs that don't need the runtime safety can then run 10% faster. Additionally, nothing is stopping someone from designing hardware that accelerates common instruction sequences. A CPU could still internally implement status flags and decode common compiler instruction sequences faster than otherwise.

I use ntp and this: https://www.npl.co.uk/msf-signal

I set my wrist watch manually. That's my time of first resort. It's slightly inaccurate but very, very reliable and handy (by definition!) I bought it about 15 years ago and its solar powered. Never failed yet. My phone keeps decent time but the battery needs charging - fails very infrequently but needs waking up. My laptop keeps a decent tick. It has a fairly decent local oscillator and ntp with several sources. Similar probs to phone and takes a while to boot. My three GPS synched ntp stratum 1 servers (RPis) that I keep in the office keep a very good tick.

For my needs, consistency is more important than real accuracy but I do like to see sub millisecond accuracy available. It makes log analysis a lot easier.

Yes, it comes directly from the latin pulchritudo which my dictionary gives as "beauty, excellence" and which is quite common in Latin texts.

To me, pulchritude is such an ugly sounding word I can always remember the meaning as being the opposite of how it sounds.

(Funny enough, I was just looking up to see if there is a name for words that sound opposite to their meaning and found this [0] discussion on the English stack exchange, which gives pulchritude as its example!)

That still leaves the definition of "real" and "exists". And even if a precise definition is given, that leaves the question of whether you are real or not. The answers to these questions are not incidental and are indeed relevant to your subsequent assertions.

But isn't that mostly true? Doesn't have most software you use have a few core features, some you sometimes use and some you never use? A good UX revamp orders correctly these to appeal to most people (but of course too many are too aggressive about removing things).
I would say this is what your resolvers are for.

I drive a Fiat 500e, but I'm one of few enough that they've stopped even selling them in the US.

If your emphasis is on the $5K, there's no way to make something that meets US road safety standards for that price. The cheapest new (gas-powered) car in the US is $10k, and it's really, really cheap.

It's the other car I own, a Ford Fiesta, and Ford stopped making it this year, too.
If execs at Ebay wanted to silence an ecommerce blog, why didn't they just form a shell company and use that shell company to buy the blog and then shut it down.

Interesting that you've encountered counterfeit AD633s. I didn't realize that counterfeit AD633s were a big thing; I just wrote about this one case. I'd be interested in hearing more about your counterfeits, like how much you paid and where you got them. (I'm guessing on eBay from China.)

I wonder if your counterfeits also had the RC4200 multiplier inside. Not working and getting hot is kind of what I'd expect since the AD633 takes a voltage as input and the RC4200 takes a small current. It's kind of strange that they'd substitute a multiplier chip, but one that wouldn't work. It's like the counterfeiters were trying to be clever, but didn't read the datasheet closely.

I have a music tech channel. I have about 1/100 of those subscribers and I get about £80-100 a month. I'm sure he's doing pretty well out of his channel.

He's also making $2k per month from patreon, [1] so if he really has had to remove all his content as a result of this, claiming he's not making any money from it seems a bit of a stretch.

> But key events should be on key-down

Why?

I like how keyup is less ambiguous: it avoids the question “what do I do if the user is holding the key down?”

I also like being able to hold the key down to cue up a command and then at the right time, pull my hand away to execute crisply. For video editing mainly.

I’m not saying keyup is the only answer. Just that there isn’t one obvious answer.
I already solve this problem on the regular, since I live in an urban area but do not own a car. There are car coops and car share programs that make renting a vehicle incredibly painless. Not hard to imagine a world where there are in-the-city cars and inter-city cars that are designed quite differently.
It pains me to repeatedly see debates which were decidedly answered in the 1700s by Kant in the Critique of Pure Reason--with such persuasion to even turn Hume. Transcendental idealism is more or less non-controversial in mainstream philosophy. Especially without even a mention of idealism from the author of the article.

Math is a synthetic a priori judgment, a transcendental object.

I can only believe that this fashion of thought is from the unwarranted development of the nihilist project which came nearly 100 years later.

Bertrand Russell wrote in his historical treatment of philosophy that much of philosophy is forgotten and rediscovered throughout history. I'm skeptical of the argument but less so everyday.

Quote: "In late August, the agency released guidance affirming that taxpayers who receive crypto for completing “microtasks” must declare it as income. This applies to users of firms like StormX, which makes tiny payments in crypto to people who do small tasks such as playing games, answering surveys, or evaluating products."

Ahhh, but this is heaven. If I'd be an US citizen doing crypto transactions I'd made sure after each of them to write them down already prepared. Then when tax declaration season comes hit IRS with a bag of 20 kilos of paper in declarations. No more than 1000 people to do this and trust me, IRS will change their tune so fast your head will spin.

The RISC-V spec is not finished yet.

RISC-V is a modular ISA, the base ISA contains only the minimum that must be included for all architectures.
The basic ISA therefore excludes multiplications, divisions, float, atomic, SIMD, etc.
The base ISA can only be used for small, minimalistic microcontrollers.

For more advanced microcontrollers, ISA extensions add Multiplications/divisions, Float32, ... (extensions M, F, ...).

For higher performance architectures you must add ISA extensions such as Atomics, SIMD/Vectors, ... (extensions A, P/V, ...).

(I intentionally exclude some details and other extensions to illustrate the benefits of the modular ISA)

Some of these extensions have a frozen spec, and some still open.
Therefore RISC-V does not yet offer a complete solution to compete with ARM or x86.
And currently RISC-V is perfect to target microcontrollers.

However RISC-V is designed to be competitive, as the instructions are designed to be compatible with existing optimizations for modern superscalar processors architectures.

So yes, there is a chance that RISC-V will become a serious competitor in the future.

Maybe be the remains of ancient civilizations could be found on orbit? Satellites can stay on geostactacionary orbit for a very long time. Some of them are sent to the "graveyard orbit" the radius of which was the same for Earth even millions years ago.

Driving has never been safer in this country. Slowing cars down is silly, interstates were built to drive 85 MPH on safely with cars without airbags, ABS, even seatbelts.

We went through that with the 55 MPH federal mandate, which lowered death rates only a small percent at a large economic cost.

> but the structure must by necessity pre-exist the mind

Why must the structure by necessity pre-exist the mind?

In other words, you are asserting that idealism (all reality is mind-dependent) is necessarily false, but what is your argument to justify that assertion?

(Even someone who believes that idealism is false might not agree that it is necessarily false, although the term necessity is ambiguous and can have different meanings – broad vs narrow logical necessity, metaphysical necessity, epistemic necessity, nomic necessity, real necessity, etc.)

A great resource to get you thinking along the right lines: the book Spin Selling[1]. This book is about doing selling involving long sales cycles, where it could take you a good amount of time to close the deal. This is often the case with enterprise software.

An example of a great concept from this book that has shaped the way I approach things: You've heard of the concept of closing, where you ask the customer to buy the product. Spin selling extends that concept in the realm of a longer sales cycle that involves many steps such as demos, consulting sessions and so on. Every interaction you have with the customer has some desired outcome that eventually leads to the final sale. For example, your initial contacts with the prospect, the goal of those initial interactions is to get the demo scheduled. Or perhaps it's to introduce you to someone closer to the decision maker. In each interaction, you keep a goal in mind and close towards that goal.

Three other books that were amazing and formative for me are below. These aren't about sales in particular but about making your own business in general, which includes sales in various degrees:
2. Good to Great
3. Crossing the Chasm
4. The E Myth

Also an honorable mention goes to this book, which is more about marketing than sales: Winning Through Intimidation. The book isn't actually about intimidating people, but it's about branding, image, and approach. Despite the evil sounding title, it's an amazing resource.

Most harm occurs with high-speed collisions.

I was hit while cycling, by a car which pulled out of a minor junction as I was turning into it. As it was an extremely low speed collision, there was no real harm to me, although the (cheap) bike was not worth repairing. The worst I can say about my injury was not having any memory between being in contact with the bonnet at 45 degrees while thinking “oh no”, and finding myself horizontal looking up to a bunch of strangers insisting I didn’t get up. I didn’t even have any grazing.

If a pedestrian is struck by a car at 40 mph, there is an 85% chance of death. This percentage drops to 45% at 30 mph and 5% at 20 mph. - https://mdot.ms.gov/safetyeducation/parents/facts-and-stats/

I was probably hit at 5-10 mph.
I wasn't talking about Android.
It’s untrue that highways are “just as safe at 150”. There are a couple studies looking at the results of various states upping the speed limit on highways.

The conclusion is the intuitive one: more accidents and more likelihood of fatalities.

I would be interested to hear the various things this (initially shocking) phrase means to people. The transformation of consciousness that it invites may be a function of the consciousness of the person considering it. I.e., it might mean different things to different people, each valid in its own way. For me, it means that during meditation practice "profound realizations, deep spiritual or theological insights, etc." are simply distractions, on par with daydreaming about what to have for lunch. Meditation, as a practice of pure consciousness and wordless awareness, invites us to a deeper place than words or concepts can reach. Self-congratulatory ego-driven behavior can be subtle and creative, and can easily don the cloak of the Buddha, especially for practitioners who are starting to move into deeper waters in their practice. It is this "false consciousness" Buddha that the phrase directly addresses for me. In twenty years it may mean something new, depending on where I am at that point.

That's what we do. At www.calcapp.net, our main call-to-action is "Start app builder (no sign-up required)". Visitors are then informed that they'll need to create an account before leaving the service, otherwise their work won't be saved.

At least one visitor was annoyed when they learned that they had to create an account in order to save their work and access certain features. They thought that the "no sign-up required" part meant that they would never have to sign up for an account.

Perhaps we could fix this by going with "Try app builder" instead of "Start app builder"?
