Hi there, my 15 years of experience was : developer / Sysadmin / tech consulting / management consulting / sales for a consulting firm / entrepreneur (many startups and non profits)

Sales for a startups depends of course of the product b2b vs b2c is one dimension and venture backed or bootstrap is another.

For b2c I would recommend lean startup (the product should ideally sell itself / marketing is key)

For b2b you need a list of contact and you need to reach out it’s a volume game to conversion like in b2c the difference is “you are the add” you should equally test different message and tweak them and the product for conversion (assuming the product is good)

Venture capitalists / angels also need a sales pitch. The pitch is closer to a story telling each of them is expecting something different and the beat way to get in is via warm intro (works also for b2b)

Nothing mind blowing here as on how to train for it I would suggest to join a software company and do sales (b2b or b2c) it’s easier to start with a known sales pitch and a known product / market than having to work on figuring it out on the way.

I will end with a funny comment yet important I think it was from union square venture who said to be careful to invest in a startup with a great sales person as it might send a false positive on growth (startups especially b2c should grow via marketing not direct sales as for b2b if the founder is an amazing sales person it might be hard to scale that)

Hope that helps

I think "survive" has a really wide range of definitions. Most Americans live paycheck to paycheck, both the $1m+ per year NYC bankers and the $50k per year midwest mailman.

Both could survive on far less.

>"Ordinary non-C languages on Unixes generally implement a great many low level operations by calling into the standard C library. This starts with things like making system calls, but also includes operations such as getaddrinfo(3).

Go doesn't do this; it implements as much as possible itself, going straight down to direct system calls in assembly language.

Occasionally there are problems that ensue."

This is an interesting tidbit about Go to the perspective of an OS designer; basically an aspiring OS designer would only need to implement the subset of the Unix API syscalls that Go actually required, and only to the degree that Go needed specific functionality from them; that is,

it would be an interesting idea to code a new OS and/or OS microkernel -- which would only support Go's subset of Unix's syscalls/API...

Or, perhaps even more interesting -- code a 'bare-metal' version of Go which includes its own OS-like support code (mini internal OS functionality), implementing the Unix syscalls it makes, but on bare metal hardware..."
I’m not..? It’s fine to play code golf with CISC-y architectures. But being able to do that is an anti-goal to a compiler-friendly architecture, as RISC tries to be.
> This isn't a crazy outcome and it matches up well with traditional property laws.

Yeah, but copyright is not a form of traditional property right. Intellectual "property" rights are better thought of as intellectual monopolies granted for a limited time, and this is important because intellectual works have some very different properties that separate them from physical property.

For instance, in your examples, the lawn mower cannot easily "un-mow" the lawn nor the painters "un-paint" the house. Any attempt to do so would be labor intensive. However, in the OLGA copyright case, the publishers can trivially force the infringers to no longer publish the tabs, undoing any further damage. In the lawn mower and house painting case, the labor is fundamentally tied to the physical property being infringed. However, with intellectual property, this is explicitly not the case. The tabs do not alter the original song in any way, they are merely a derivative work.

To be explicit, while the transferal of rights over the tabs to the copyright holders may be granted by a judge as part of reparation of harm done, I see no reason that the music publishers should presume to own the rights outright without the intervention of a court.

For one final example as to why we should not conflate intellectual works and physical property, if I were to trespass onto your land and paint a beautiful painting of your landscape (with supplies I own) and then leave without causing damage, do you... own the painting? Just own the copyright? Own none of it? It is definitely not clear to me that you should automatically own my painting, even if I infringed your property rights by trespassing.
FreeCAD already uses it, SolveSpace integration is in work. I know nothing about OpenSCAD and PythonCAD. There is also a very new CAD in planning from Argentina, which name I forgot, which uses gambas, a VBA clone in Linux. which will use LibreDWG.
If you equal SUV with AWD then it may be true.
However if your sedan had a proper AWD, locking differential(as some Ladas, Subarus, Suzukis, .. have) and slim tires with or without spikes it will beat every now so called SUV with ease.

I didn’t read the entire thread of previous discussion. The referenced article is consistent with the work of Thomas Metzinger who wrote a very accessible book called “The Ego Tunnel” as a follow on to his more detailed and scholarly treatise “Being No One”

He introduced me to the ideas in this paper that he induced from his own observations of his “mystical” experiences.

It is fascinating to realize these self models exist in a wide variety of animals and the modeling of others is what makes some animals different.

In “Sapiens” https://books.google.com/books/about/Sapiens.html

Yuval Harari argues that Homo sapiens took over all other Homo species because of the development of “myth” which may be related to the Hyperactive attribution of consciousness referenced in the article. Humans cooperate at scale much better than any other species (but also fight at scale more aggressively) because we can communicate about abstractions.

Very interesting inter-related ideas.
I bet a small car with 4x4 will beat a big car without it under most snow situations. And you don't need all that much ground clearance for snow in most of the US.

Saying bigger vehicles "tend to" have 4x4 is not a counter to what I said.
Because Go decided on a runtime design that doesn't play well with the OS. As far as I can gather:

* Go uses its own calling convention that's different from C.

* Go doesn't use system stacks (goroutines have their own growable stacks).

* Goroutines are implemented as green threads using collaborative scheduling. Any call to C has to play nice with the scheduler to avoid blocking other goroutines running on the same thread.

* Garbage collection often requires that data be copied in order to be passed to the C library, since the original data may be freed by GC during execution.
Nope, this is wrong. LibDWG was documented in Esperanto. lots of old variable names were is Esperanto. This was all changed to English.
I suppose all of the specific anti-California sentiment stems from Californians having higher incomes relative to other states, on average, and thus being more likely to relocate than are those from other states.

But I still don’t really understand what they mean? Are they talking about specific cultural things unique to California? If so, what? And from where in California? The state is massive, with many different cultures based on location, race, ethnicity, working conditions, hobbies, etc. (San Diego is very different than Los Angeles is very different than San Francisco is very different than Sacramento... Even surf culture differs considerably across those areas.)

I’m guessing what they’re really trying to say is that they don’t want the high cost-of-living (and burdens it brings) to come to them? But that has nothing to do with Californians and everything to do with the given State’s local leaders and economy.
It's not unusual. An acquaintance from a hackerspace bought a bank charter from a closing regional bank to reduce the costs to complete an international transaction.
More people than ever before in human history live above the line of absolute poverty, today, right now, and this has been a continouos trend for many years so far. The middle class is only eroding insofar as you define things in some wacky ways. In terms of basic acquisitive power, quality of life, access to goods and services and general well-bieng, more people than ever and a larger percentage of the population than ever before live what in fairly recent history would be considered very much middle class or even upper middle class lives. I know it's fashionable to deride the modern world as fucked with poverty and misery (and ironically this is a thing most often done by comfortably middle class, educated people with plenty of access to good standards of living) but none of the basic data on how well our world's 8 billion people live right now actually supports this notion. Shifting goal posts endlessly also can slip into dishonesty.
My experience was a lot worse. Dated back in the mid 90s I believe. In a shop I was working with, came a lot of incredibly cheap PC mainboards where the CPU (386SX, IIRC) had been relabeled to 386DX, the static RAM cache chips on the mainboard were just no-die pieces of plastic with pins, absolutely identical to real chips but 100% empty, and of course soldered, then finally the BIOS EPROM was hacked to show a cache was present and other bogus values, but the chip was soldered so one couldn't easily reprogram it with a legit BIOS that would have revealed the scam. We later realized that the manufacturer was smart enough to use on the boards box and manuals the term "virtual cache", so noone could complain. Those boards indeed worked, although of course they were slow as dead sloths.
Google's results is becoming worse with lot of low quality sites appearing in the search results. I think that they must improve the search engine to show quality results.

What i also want is filter in Google Search Engine to remove all those junk results.
Cyclists and pedestrians do have a voice, but only in places where they exist and account for a sizable amount of the population. Why suburban and rural living is so popular has been discussed elsewhere in this thread, but it's the fact of the matter, so: cities that are extremely spread out will end up predominantly car-dependent, while cities with extremely dense populations like large metros will end up accommodating for their pedestrians and cyclists in road design.
I'll read the article in the morning. Apologies for pre-commenting.

I do not believe the world hinges on 2020. It is certain more than one nation is going through defining moments, but the world will survive it - as it will the coronavirus.

I do believe that the United States is at a tipping point unlike any moment in the past 50 years. Whether anyone likes it or not, we are the world's leading consumer and second leading producer (GDP). We have massive influence on foreign affairs, soft power, and the global environment.

Domestically, four more years of the current administration and its lack of rule of law will drive more people toward resistance. It will enable those who envy our president's unchecked power to emulate it at any level - the shamelessness, the gaslighting, and the bullying - so that our politics makes the 20th century look downright polite.

The decision to, or not to, participate in global efforts to reduce human impact on the environment could be a defining moment for the next few hundred years of human existence. So yeah, I think this is a huge moment for the US, and the world.
In a way, anything discrete is a logical assertion that exists purely in imagination. Base reality is continuous in every way. It’s imaginary human reality to separate things apart from the whole. Physics and philosophy have struggled with this over atom vs non atom view of “base reality” - interesting to see how it shows itself in many different ways. Anything quantized runs into issues with consistency, as the quantity only works in an imaginary model. No model is sufficient as it has a fixed size of requirements to be a model.
WW1 is a very good candidate. It created the Soviet Union and Hitler and pretty much all of history since.

It's also extra interesting, because if Gavrilo Princip hadn't randomly ran into the Archduke's car, history might have turned out very differently.
I haven't read the book, podcast, etc... But at a glance, i don't think I buy the "hingeyness" concept.

Stretching the analogy... A hinge matters because the door it hangs is flat. It "only" moves at the hinge. History is anything but flat. It can bend at any point and in any direction.

The 18th century gave us most of the political and economic institutions we have: nation states, republics, liberal democracy, maritime law, modern philosophy, limited liability companies and stock markets.

I don't think this means the 19th and 20th century were determined by those. The US/USSR standoff could have been something else entirely if the nuclear cold war had preceded WWII instead of succeeding it.

The "lever" is technology, and this just gets increasingly powerful as we go along.

The only way that, in retrospect, any century is a "hinge" is if in the following century, we have less powerful technology and ability to impact the world.

So, in a sense, hingeyness simply means "collapse." A century is a hinge inasmuch as it is enough of a collapse to destroy technology.

In any case, I think we are currently underestimating the threat of nuclear war. The threat has not really receded much, if at all, since it was at athe top of everyone's list of fears.

We're still likely to have mass death and ecodestruction appear out of a clear blue sky.

By number of tech companies or tech jobs.
It wouldn't take a complex material to recognize a previous civilization. Their civil engineering activities would give them away completely.

Archaeologists can read worked surfaces with amazing skill. E.g. a bed of pebbles could be a lake bed, a road surface, a floor inside a building, a foundation, and there's ways to distinguish them.

Unless the soil was erased/reformed completely there would be a record of almost any activity, from digging a post hole or trench, to building a wall then removing it again then dumping construction waste into the hole then plowing it under. All are different from 'native' soils deposited by random processes.

Geologic time is not enough to erase evidence of worked soils. Not unless it gets scrubbed to the bedrock and redeposited. And even if that happened some places, it wouldn't happen every place. And its fair to say today, that our civilization has been pretty much every place.

I largely agree with you, except on the market.

The market is good at finding local minimums/maximums, but even there it fails when there’s weird trends and perceived benefits.

Like the SUV trend that stubbornly won’t go away. Bad drivers behind these 5000 lbs death-on-wheels is the primary reason I would never own a sub compact, even as a second car!

This is where government comes in, to gently but firmly guide the market through taxes and rules.

To be clear, I’m not saying the iPhone isn’t useful or valuable. It just simply does not compare to the key technologies of the 20th century in terms of transforming the basic parameters of human life on earth.

My favorite example is the Haber-Bosch process for fixing nitrogen and producing synthetic fertilizer (invented 1910). Surely a far more “undervalued” technology than the iPhone! It enabled us to scale up global food production to feed at least an extra 3.5 billion people who otherwise would never have been born, or would have starved.[1] Antibiotics are another great example. Several hundred million lives saved.

With respect, I think this is in a different league from saving some people a little time waiting in traffic.

Running macOS in a VM that is not running on a Mac is a violation of your contract with Apple. However, there are no restrictions on running a macOS VM on a mac. This can be very useful if you are a developer who needs to test on older macOS versions. I use VirtualBox running on a Mac, although I believe KVM/QEMU also works on a mac. (on Intel Macs -- this won't work in the future with Apple Silicon) for testing on older macOS versions. As usual with advice on the internet: caveat lector. I'm not a lawyer.

Finland deals with this issue with snow plowing and winter tires. Small cars work very well in ice and snow.
That’s a fair comment, and I had not considered that. I do know a VC, HollandVentures, that’s one of the VCs that works with EU funding, but I also know many other VCs that, as far as I can tell, work solely with private money.

https://nlfunding.co/ provides a list of all VCs active in The Netherlands, and while a few obvious ones are working with EU grants, I have no reason to believe most of them do.

Regardless, my response was mostly to the “EU startups are grant chasers” comment, which I still believe is an unfair depiction.
Of all the things you need to be careful about on the net, predictions of climate doom are definitely one!

I'm not sure where you can get the current code for Safari's Reader Mode but interestingly, it was based on the original Readability.js code, created and open sourced by a development shop called Arc90 [0]. As you noted, Firefox was also based on Readability (in the repo you linked to, you can see that it's copyright 2010 by Arc90). By this point both browser implementations may largely have been rewritten. Arc90 was acquired (oddly, by a short-lived EDM festival promoter called SFX), and its founder later started another agency called Postlight which created a similar extension for Chrome called Mercury Reader [1].

Have you tried installing a cron daemon in WSL using your distro's package manager and starting it with, e.g.,

wsl -u root /usr/sbin/service <daemon-name> start

or, equivalently,

wsl -u root /etc/init.d/<daemon-name> start

Because I've been starting Debian sshd this way using a Windows Task Scheduler "At startup" task for years, in both WSL 1 and WSL 2, and it "just works".

Note that, for my case, WSL 2 requires an additional command to map a TCP port from external adapters to the VM's "host-only" interface, e.g.,

powershell.exe -NoProfile -NoLogo -Command
netsh interface portproxy add v4tov4
listenport=2022 listenaddress=0.0.0.0
connectport=2022 "connectaddress=$(
wsl -u root -e perl -e '
print qq{$1}
if qx{ip -br addr show eth0}
=~ m{ ([0-9.]+)/}')"

as a single line, replacing "2022" with the TCP port you want available externally.

Sulfur dioxide from a supervolcano eruption would ironically not be considered a disaster if it were to reflect sunlight for a few years.

Since we cannot arrange for a supervolcano yet, we could purposely emit sulfur from ships and existing smoke stacks. But wouldn't this cause acid rain eventually? Crops would receive less sun. Fictional remedy to fight solar-powered machines in "the Matrix" - global solar grids would have reduced input.

I'm not sure why the focus has been put onto greenhouse emissions and CO2 in general.

If there's any direct threat to the planet, it's insane amount of industrial waste entering the environment daily that gets downplayed in this ridiculous song and dance about CO2.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5699236/

Industrial waste poisons drinking water, destroys the oceans and their ecosystems, poisons the land and our food.

Everyone's busy worrying about how much CO2's being produced, very few people seem to be worried about what kind of mysterious proprietary petro derived chemicals are being pumped into rivers, lakes, the ocean. Few people seem to sorry that groundwater and resevoirs are contaminated by agricultural runoff, runoff from factories, manufacturing plants, chemical plants, oil refineries, fracking operations.

Every day, thousands of tons of carcinogenic, toxic, environmentally altering chemicals are relaeased into the environment doing damage we don't even understand yet.
There are plenty of "regular" cars with 4x4, and mini SUVs. There's even a little Fiat Panda 4x4. Just because the US market is dominated by large SUVs and trucks doesn't mean that there's something inherent about that.
You can't get real sales or business experience from a book. I would say start from the basics in terms of 1-on-1 sales. First, develop a tolerance to rejection; sell something people almost never want like chocolate bars or magazines door-to-door thousands of times. Then, learn to qualify and overcome objections. Without the interpersonal skills of selling, data is worthless and analysis is procrastination. If someone can't hustle, it doesn't matter how great their good or service is because no one will know about it.

Another consideration is to find an equal cofounder who is a superb hustler. Hack + hustle = win.
