I think you’re confusion is around the most well known OSS projects which try and increase adoption and generally request donations. That’s a relatively small chunk of the overall OSS community which is well known specially because maintainers have a personal desire or financial incentive to increase adoption.

Far more often projects are released as OSS because sharing a project is a net benefit to the world and costs the donator nothing. That’s really the central idea of the OSS movement, when copying is free it’s easy to be generous. Forcing a social obligation is therefore toxic to the OSS community as releasing software becomes expensive.
To my mind exchanging liberty for safety is never common sense.
No projection is accurate. Cartographers generally recommend against rectangular map projections. The Mercator is better at local shapes, because it's conformal, which is a not-often-mentioned advantage. Conformal maps have the property that accuracy consistently improves as you zoom in at every point. The tradeoff is that the discrepancy between regions separated by large distances can be much worse. Because the Mercator both works locally and supports loxodromic navigation it has remained popular.

One alternative I like is using a conformal projection divided into hemispheres. You can get much less distortion at the cost of a single interruption. Eg:

At one time IBM had the resources to assign the same major challenge to two internal organizations.
The good thing is that Google Maps has switched to a 3D globe view when zooming out. Now even zooming to the latitude extremes, you get a good projection. Thanks to vector tiles :)

Windows is probably considerably more secure against browser 0days, but how much malware is actually distributed that way? I expect most of it comes from people manually running malware executables they mistakenly download from websites.
The Xeon Phi had up to 16GB of fast memory in the same package as the main die. IIRC, it could be used as memory or as cache for external memory (which was much slower).

If Apple integrates two more memory chips, it'll be able to power a pretty solid desktop or laptop.

On the performance, Rosetta is most likely doing JIT so that most of the time it's running native ARM code. It did this with PPC binaries and DEC had it for Alpha.

> I think Google Maps already does this at least

It clearly doesn't - you can zoom out and see this for yourself. It uses an equatorial variant of the Mercator projection.

In my opinion, the thing pg & YC understood better than anyone before them is that Venture investing statistically has a very very long tail pay-off.

By micro investing in hundreds (by now thousands) of companies at the earliest possible stage (where they could fairly ask for a reasonable percentage at a very low dollar cost), they vastly reduced the risk of coming up with no big wins.

This is all basic betting strategy for professional gamblers. You also have to know the odds, so I'm not downplaying the importance of evaluating founders and business plans. That's like the Blackjack equivalent of basic strategy and counting the deck.

Without a betting strategy that reflects the statistics of the game you're playing, the likelihood is you will bottom out before you succeed.

This isn't an infusion of talent. It's probably a teeny tiny fraction of the brain drain returning to test the waters or, more likely, just to leverage grandparents for some free daycare while pandemic is on. And this is the high-point of interest.

What makes you think "sapience" is a gift? I think the "monkeys" (they're apes of course) are just as likely to damn us for it, if it happened.

Who decides what is of value, that "sapience" is an absolute value we are required to work towards? There is no answer to this we have access to except we ourselves decide.

Therefore, there is no "responsibility" from outside ourselves, certainly not some kind of external responsibility to prioritize some values (creating more "intelligent" species) over other values (not creating frankenstein monsters with capacity for incredible suffering).

I think living beings that lack recognized-by-us "sapience" still have their own inherent value that must be respected. To suggest that becoming more like us is their only destiny is to disrespect them as they are, they don't need to be more like us to be respectable.
The Western world was happy to make its workers slave away until workers violently resisted with strikes and riots.

The Western world established dictatorships abroad to palliates this, whose workers have no safety and where the environment is an afterthought to compensate.

It has nothing to do with scruples. It's just that we pretty much force poor countries to act this way.

FWIW, working conditions and environmental concerns seem to be improving in China as GDP per capita rises and they can afford not to compete with other low income countries on price.
That’s really rough and I am glad you are on the other side of it.

I don’t really know your motivation for trying this path, but if that motivation remains or returns, you might want to start with a friend, so you can divide up the efforts. Or perhaps you just decided that this path is not for you — nothing wrong with that!

Good luck either way!

As far as friends go:

I Started my first business with two friends: one was really good at cold calls and asking for things (I.e. orders) — I struggled with that similarly to you. The other was super comfortable asking friends to come work with us. I had other things I contributed — and we all programmed.

For the three of us it turned out to be fun. I am sure none of us could have done it alone.

> Nature took a long long time to get to this point where life has come to a sort of balance. Assuming we can go in and just start blindly messing around and do better seems like an extreme level of arrogance that's going to end up blowing up in our faces.

Balance is something humans project on the world. There is no balance, there is only the status quo that can change in an instant.

Nature only seems balanced because we can only view a tiny slice of time. Extinction events in the geological record show us there is no balance and 90% of life can easily be obliterated.
Intel's current fab troubles are simply inexcusable. There are some factors that can account for part of the problem, but at this point Intel is 5+ years late on delivering a usable, profitable successor to their 14nm process. And 14nm got off to a slow, rocky start too. Intel's fab business has been horribly mismanaged, and the CPU design business has been forced to believe fab roadmaps that don't have any credibility.
"What made TSMC so successful? Is it primarily thanks to their business strategy?"

Basically they are riding the new wave of cheap devices that outnumber the x86 devices by 10x 20x.

Basically everything uses an ARM CPU these days, not just tablets and phones, but microwaves, TVs, projectors, refrigerators, ovens, 3D printers...

That makes those devices extremely cheap on volume and make innovations to happen faster than o a single company like Intel, that was not interested on those low margin products.

Intel is far from incompetent, they just decided to get advantage of their monopoly position to reap as big profits and margins as they could get for the longest possible time, instead of cannibalizing themselves with lower margins.

And it was great for them. Their executives have done great. They have just ruled the semiconductor industry and wanted to enjoy it.

Yes.

China has issues, but it's consistent.

US is inconsistent. One year it's a messenger of trade and peace. Another year it's an anti-trade anti-peace rambler.

Of course, other democracies have similar issues. But none are as sharply polarized as the US forced two-party system, where the objective of each party is to run on a platform to undo the other. The policy ping pong has probably reached it's extremes, so much that you cannot expect any kind of continuity anymore.

With the exit of US from global stage and it's lack of continuity, other countries have to cope up to a new center of gravity.
If you use React Native, React and a shared Redux layer you can share all this business logic between iOS, Android and Web. If you make breaking DB changes you still have the REST layer to buffer them. If REST won't cover your breaking changes with data transforms because you are deleting whole tables and restructuring then it's time to refactor the front end as well anyway. I disagree with the front end sending SQL directly but a thin REST layer with a little validation seems ideal to me.

This thread reminds me of a lecturer I once met who had a theory based on a Machiavellian scale:

Entrepreneurs typically rate low. They rely on goodwill and reciprocity and great relationships to get things done as they have zero power. Early power comes from getting people to buy into your vision.

Corporate middle / senior managers rate higher because it it generally all about the power.

The interesting insight was that as an entrepreneur, when your business scales it is hard to retain the “low Machiavelly” approach. This is where a lot of the growing pains come from..

I'd just like to mention an obsolete advantage of the Mercator projection, which I assume played a large role in its spread.

Back before radio, GPS, and accurate clocks, navigation in cloudy days was really, really hard.

Mercator allowed you to draw a line in your map between origin and destination, and its angle with the North in the map would match the physical angle you'd need to keep, with a compass, to go from origin to destination.

It would not give the straightest possible path, but away from the poles it was close enough.

Can you cite a source for this. Reading the relevant law it says that the IP clause is valid in cases of conflict with the employer's business. If the IP clause is valid then, as I read it, they legally own your IP as you assigned it to them in a valid contract. They may need to sue you to exercise their right but if they win they gain your IP.

Yeah, sadly. The Chips I have are supported, but the device ids they have aren't supported by the kernel, i would have to check it out from source, add those ids and compile it on my own. At least i could find that for the network adapter, i guess its the same for the sound devices, cause they just use normal parts from realtek and the like.

Ive just bought those parts because they had the best performance and features for their price point, i could literally spend over a thousand euros more to only get a little bit more features or performance. I kinda had hopes that nearly everyone who would build a rig these days would buy those and because of that someone would have made them linux compatible in the last two years.
I moved to Phoenix and it is wonderful. Except... Ecto just isn't as easy as ActiveRecord and you can't do things the way you would prototype things in IRB. So, yeah, on one hand, I have crazy performance and LiveView etc, but on other, it is huge hassle just to hack around the way I did before.

It is a matter of definitions, and it's a matter of avoiding a fallacy. Just because "we come from nature", doesn't mean we're bound to whatever patterns of behavior we observe in animals, and it especially doesn't mean the "nature" tells us what we should or shouldn't do. The world of non-human living things is a very bad place to look for lessons in morality.

"Humans are different" isn't arrogance, it's observable reality. And we need some words to separate the categories of "things done / caused by humans" vs "things done / caused by everything else" - hence the common meaning of "natural" and "nature".

> the building blocks of a human are the same as everything else in the universe (as far as we know).

Building blocks of everything in the universe are the same, but there's still meaningful difference between things.
Again, look at Intel’s roadmap for the type of CPUs which Apple actually uses. When Intel shipped on-schedule, they updated regularly. Then Intel stopped hitting their targets by substantial periods, but not always the board – for example, the iMac uses lower TDP parts than high-end desktops so it didn’t matter that Intel had a high-heat chip out which gamers loved because they’d need a complete redesign to cool a part generating multiple times more heat.

Your critique is most accurate for the Mac Pro which had a big delay because the system design assumed the 2000s CPU/GPU relationship would continue and needed a complete redesign to hit the thermal and expansion characteristics which make sense for the target market.

Now, it would be nice if Apple had some different designs which weren’t so dependent on hitting very tight thermal limits – I’d particularly like a Mac non-Mini for those of us who don’t need it to be super thin and would prefer more ports and never throttling – but they’ve found another way to hit those targets with what appears to be no compromises on performance.
