I think I understand both viewpoints: it is indeed not feasible to fake it before you make it in case of Dropbox. However, if you are offering automated reports once a week, there is no problem putting together an HTML template, some excel sheet and an email script where a person does the work for a few pilot customers. So I think when you mentioned "particularly novel or value-generating product" you meant that the idea scores close to 0 on a "fake it before you make it" scale? Is there even such a scale? Barrier of entry is closest I can think of.

Hardware is still bad, inferior to Windows.

With Catalina, my Mac speakers intermittently stopped working though. So it's getting more competitive as Mac gets worse.
I'm only advocating for reducing uncertainty around distribution before building; not eliminating it entirely.

It's important to at least have a strong growth hypothesis that you've validated to some degree.

That's all I have right now - hypotheses.

Except your not beta testing. We had pre-alpha testing (phase I), alpha testing (phase II), and beta testing (phase III) already.

We (the US) should've had coordinated national messaging and education of vaccine mechanisms and safety starting the middle of last summer, but that would've required actual national leadership.

Worse, it's a total gamble on whether or not we'll even be able to BUILD a given reactor. Reactor construction projects have an absolutely gobsmacking rate of delays and massive cost overruns, and many end up getting canceled.

Flamanville in France is fully 3x its original cost estimate. If it manages to hit its current planned opening date in 2022, then that will be after 15 YEARS of construction.

Out of the recent wave of reactor construction in Europe and the US, most are have hit massive delays and cost overruns. At this point it's hard to conclude that the nuclear industry is remotely competent to deliver on any single promise.
Wouldn't the overvaxxers be protected? Wouldn't a baby be less likely to get covid or die from covid?

Yeah, disputed by a hard-right anti-mask COVID truther. I dunno about the story in question, but at this point, these people can't be considered neutral referees. They exist to shitpost and drive wedges between people.
Yeah, Windows Update was the main thing that motivated to switch to Linux for daily use. Nothing else presented a big enough pain point to motivate a full switch -- I was mostly happy using Windows and SSHing into Linux to work. I often leave my computer on overnight with the expectation I can pick up whatever I was doing, but Windows Update would force reboot without warning me ahead of time and I'd lose all my stuff. Many times I needed to start my computer and do something right away, but Update decided it needed the next 20 minutes. I remember one particular instance when I needed to shut my laptop down to put in my backback (it was pouring outside) and get to a class, but when I shut down it went into a lengthy update without giving me an option to skip.

On Linux I am rarely if ever compelled to reboot unless I upgrade the kernel and want to use specific features like virtualization. There's just no going back once you get used to this.
I wouldn't call dealing with this sort of thing on every other update rare.
We are precipitating towards the Chinese Communist model of group think and censorship.
It doesn't matter that Google created the monster that is SEO, thr fact is that it exists and it's how most people navigate the web.

Google creating AMP further breaks it and gives Google even more control. Google is very much the yelp of the Internet.

I understand where you are coming from being an 80s baby myself, however more and more young adults see google as the homepage of the internet, much as many now see Facebook as the internet to the point its where they consume most of their information.

I screamed about all this when Google became an ad machine. I screamed about it when Microsoft released paid DLC for the Xbox 360. Some of us railed, but the children...the children grew up thinking it was all normal and now its just 'how the world is' (SAAS/advertising/misinformation)

That's the real danger here. Companies outlast us and mold the next generation to see them as Deities of the world wide web.

Also- I do not remember paid search engines either.
Have the computer score every move to a depth of 16 ply(moves) then look for radical shifts in the scoring.

A sudden swing from +1.4 to -4 means there was a blunder.

You set the ply shallow because no beginner is seeing more than 8 moves ahead, most masters can’t in most positions.

Fritz and scid etc also have mark tactical exercises modes that so the above automatically.

The only form of Vitamin D that matters is D3. If you are not getting that, you're just ingesting a toxin that is useless at best.

Tegnell predicted that his approach would avoid a serious second wave in the autumn. He has admitted he was wrong about that: https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/13208429/sweden-lockdown-covid...
That's a pretty big miss that should greatly concern him and his supporters.

We'll have to wait and see how overall mortality works out, but it seems very likely Tegnell's policy led to 6,000 preventable deaths in the first wave and did not have the benefits he expected.

The Swedes themselves have decided that more intensive measures are needed now:

Oh my apologies, I was hoping to concur but not paint you as anti-Austin as an individual. Sorry if my eagerness to agree gave the wrong impression.

96% of spent fuel rods (nuclear "waste" ) is reusable, and the remaining 4% is so incredibly small in waste and has a much smaller half-life compared to the pure radioactive fuel rods.

Well, simple propeller pitch control is a lot easier than a swash plate because it's idle when the pitch is kept the same and it's no problem if making it slower simplifies it. A swash plate is active on each rotation and needs to be fast enough to work the blade through a certain range of pitch values within have a rotation interval.
It works just fine in Netscape Navigator tho.

Other countries already have excess deaths (e.g. US: https://public.tableau.com/views/COVID_excess_mort_withcause...) indicating that not only people have died sooner than they would have (which is irreparable), but more people will have died within this year than in a year without Covid. It could be argued that US & Sweden's policies are not that distant. I guess that US has cities with much higher population density & much more unavoidable commute (as in the higher affected areas in Europe).

I totally agree with this sentiment, e.g.

> Why do you think Facebook is soo hell bent on getting regluations from the government on social media

What truly threatens these corporations isn't regulation, in fact I'd wager they're counting on it. The real threat is the next Instagram that walks through the door that doesn't sell to FB. Basically, the biggest threat to FB is the fact that people don't really care about FB, they just want something to look at on their phones. It's totally in FB's best interest then to make it more difficult for competition to invent new ways to look for people to look at their phones.

Banking and finance in general is probably the best example. It's so difficult to start a bank these days that your best bet is to acquire a failing one.

However, on this point:

I don’t see the premium offerings as worth the cost for most casual athletes. I think they’d do better with advertising and corporate tie ins like the challenges.
People always adapt to work the system. It's "juking the stats" and IMO the thing that makes it so easy is that computers are great at correlation, but worthless when it comes to cause and effect.

Blog posts tended to be a good source of info, so now everything is a blog post because all Google sees is blog post = good. Without a certain amount of human intervention and moderation, the computers are extraordinarily stupid.

I think the system that eventually topples Google will be something that's built with an expectation of having a certain level of human interaction. If I had to make a try at it right now I'd focus on local search; restaurants, events, groups, classifieds, etc. and build something that's sustainable via franchises. That way the human component would always be someone local to a community, they could take some of the profit, and they'd act as moderators / advisors for their community.

TLDR; You need more people involved.
I've been thinking about this since my original comment actually, but there are complexities from using the noncompact group R. The exponential functions are still the simultaneous eigenvectors of time shifts.

The Laplace transform seems to be just using the fact that <f,g> = integrate(f(x) g(x), x from 0 to infinity) is an inner product for the space of square integrable functions (probably better would be <f,g> = integrate(f(x) conj(g(x)), x from 0 to infinity) as a Hermitian product). The various e^(ax) functions are linearly independent, so the functions g |-> <e^(ax), g> are linearly independent functionals. If the exponential functions are actually enough, then this means you can study a function by studying the vector consisting of its value through all the functionals, which is the Laplace transform.

The Laplace transform has a pretty bad inverse formula, partly because the exponential functions are not orthogonal with respect to the inner product.
'It just works' is not a phrase I've ever seen applied to the Windows 10 update process before.

While bricking updates for Windows are rare, the most infamous Windows update bug deleted all user data.

If you want stability, desktop Linux is now the best out of a bad set of options. If you need more software support, run Windows in a VM where it can't destroy anything important.
This is God's own truth and it has been this way since Windows 3.1 which had the ability to upgrade to Windows 95.

Just don't.
I sincerely doubt this was planned. If you’ve ever worked for a large global corp you would find it difficult to believe anything could be coordinated. Everyone involved at every level is trying to climb that ladder.
Serious question, what does Apple offer that brings people back to them after an event like this, or the last one, or the one before that?

You can't customize the OS, the software for the platform is available on Windows and Linux, and the hardware is overpriced and underpowered, and then there's stuff like this where Apple decides how you should use _your_ computer. I sincerely do not understand why anyone would ever purchase an Apple computer, and yet here we are, again.

Especially confusing to me is how many of my fellow web developer peers I see choosing Apple devices over literally any other laptop with Windows or Linux which will run circles around a Macbook of the same price range.

This is an argument in favor of emails being non-verifiable, so now I'm confused.

Previously you seem to be supporting the idea that email should be verifiable. Now you seem to be arguing the opposite. Everything you wrote above correlates with the opinions I've expressed so far.

You also wrote:

> If you live in a [country where homosexuality is illegal] and secretly a homosexual, do not send emails indicating that you're a homosexual.

As if that's an acceptable state of affairs and a reasonable compromise for the purpose of catching the occasional bad actor. It isn't.
The "marketing service" just means being listed at all on GrubHub itself. So restaurant owners are agreeing to a big fee to get customers from the GrubHub website and app.

But it sounds like they often don't know that they are also being made to pay a fee for their own customers who are simply looking up the phone number.

GrubHub isn't obviously adding any value there, these customers could just as well have pulled the phone number from Google Maps of the restaurant's own website.

I think GrubHub could be acting incorrectly in few ways:
1. Restaurants don't appear to be well informed of the cost. Deceiving your customer (eg by sneaking clauses into the contract) doesn't feel right.
2. GrubHub could be deceiving the restaurant's customers, who may be making a sincere effort to order from the restaurant directly.
3. In some local markets; GrubHub might have a kind of monopoly power. I think are a lot more constraints on how these kinds of businesses can dictate terms to other business: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_restraints
Authentication in this context doesn't need to be end-to-end. Instead of a custom protocol, we could probably just use SSL client certificates authenticating the sending domain to achieve the same effect.

That was a good rebuttal. My point, which apparently I didn't make very well, was that we accept some danger in order to avoid some limitations on liberty. It is not a binary tradeoff. We could choose to enforce those rules or make them more strict and save even more lives potentially, but we don't. Because society has decided to draw our line in a certain place on the liberty/safety spectrum. You and I and many others draw our lines in different places on this spectrum. That's fine. I don't dismiss other arguments against my position as being made by dumb, uninformed people. We need to be careful to avoid judging all the sides by their "worst" proponents.

Lambo average speed ~150mph.
Eurocopter EC145 cruise speed ~150mph.

Even the never-exceed speed of the 145 is ~170mph, which the Lambo should be more than capable of (~200mph).

It surely comes down to a matter of fuel capacity and straight-line travel.
I personally didn't like this change because it removed the tiered nature of the paid platform. Previously, you could mix and match 3 feature packs, at $2/month each. Now, they've combined it into $5/month flat, regardless of how many features you use.

This may be the right answer for them (chasing the premium competitive market and all that, and maybe less tech debt with fewer tiers), but it caused me to drop my subscription. As a "casual" cyclist, I was willing to pay $2/month, but not $5/month, for the value I got out of the service.
This hasn't always been the case, but high-quality hardware and long battery life have been big attractors for me. I've never used a trackpad on a non-Mac laptop that has been comparable to Macbooks.
I've been studying chess for the past year as someone much older than 21, and I find it's pretty interesting! For one thing, tactics and calculation for sure will be varying considerably between players of different skill levels. For me, it can take forever to calculate 3 moves ahead because I lose my place as I go. I think for good players, they can see it almost instantly, subconsciously. And I think that is where the chess prodigy comes in. From the beginning, the chess prodigy probably gets their subconscious in tune with moving the pieces and can see tactics and N moves ahead almost instantly. I'm curious to see how much better that gets for me over time. If I practice a bit every day, how fast will my calculation get? It's probably logarithmic but still... Anyone have experience getting good (~1700 or >) as an adult?

Planet-wide Waze alert retrieval vulnerability
This. Mac user since 1991. In 2016, I needed a VR development box with a fast GPU, so I supplemented the 27” iMac on my desk with a homebuilt PC and 27” 4K monitor. That little PC has earned its keep! I use the PC about 95% of the time. The iMac is now my Pixelmator and OmniOutliner appliance, and backup OBS video capture device.

Win10’s last 2 years of “builds” are very good. It still rots like regular Windows, but I got 3.5 years of heavy use before reinstalling it. Main apps are Unity, Visual Studio 2017, and some hardware design stuff (SOLIDWORKS, KiCad, SEGGER). It feels so liberating to have all my niche apps on the PC without having to virtualize.

User experience on Windows is a little jankier, but the utility of the niche apps makes up for it. I miss AirDrop. If I were to advise Microsoft on one thing: fix the Control Panel situation in Win10. It’s like layers of bad makeup.

Windows also restores much worse than macOS. I miss Time Machine. I purchased a tool called Macrium Reflect which gets me close enough, and actually can restore a bootable system.
