I did not get the sense that this is a balanced perspective.

The author does have a point that not sterilizing your pet will likely lead to criticism, even though it's a more nuanced situation.

But still — the solution to all of the sourcing problems is "do your research, and get an individual, not a breed".

If there's an actual shortage of adoptable dogs in your area, talk to the shelters about it, and also consider _not getting a pet quite yet_, rather then taking random advice from the internet and telling people to breed their pets.

Personally I'm in France: much less neutering here, but also there's a serious feral cat problem in my village, and also too many puppies. And toxoplasmosis infection rates are massive... it seems like a much more obvious choice to sterilize free-roaming pets, but still many don't.

I once had a partner where we had a good business. After some years he fucked me.

What matter to me is personal values and virtue, and even though he took a shortcut, i am going to catch him one day and make him understand tht history will catch up and he will be sorry he ever fucked me.

I am not in a hurry. The longer time goes by, the more i am looking forward to the encounter.

I've worked with engineers at Amazon up to the senior principal level. Even if you grant that people in cybersecurity see a broader swath of the company, there's just no way that he can talk authoritatively about everything from AWS sales tactics, to hiring practices for former DoD procurement people, to real estate strategy to Amazon's own supply chain, to Jeff B.'s personal life. It would be like a mid-level employee at State Department talking about how the Trump administration views farm policy, and what the National Park Service is planning, and what types of cool things the US Mint is cooking up. That State Department guy might have heard about a lot of those things either from reading the news or from talking to buddies, but he wouldn't come within a mile of it as part of his job.

Again putting words in my mouth, huh? I did not say any such thing. I said that it could benefit "society as a whole." I highly doubt a capitalist society would adopt such a principle. Nor did I say that any country spying on their own people was hypothetical.

If it is "tiring" to attempt to argue with me, it's because I don't fall for your pathetic rhetorical attempts to inflame, and you don't seem to be able to read what I said without making a straw man out of it. Name calling does not constitute argumentation. Do better, please, if you can.

Other comments are incorrect.

As I recall Ripple was originally a network-of-issuers for multiple issuer-specific tokens model, it wasn't supposed to be a single-issuer/single-token. The XRP token itself was never intended to be the asset, it was only a cost-token that fuelled the exchange of other issuers' tokens, similar to offline community exchange systems (CES). Ripple the company post-dates Ripple the project, which AFAIK was originally solidly non-commercial in motivation. I was part of the early commercialization of Ripple sort of by proxy while building Kraken, although I was opposed to the move. Aside from the money people, there were some good engineers involved with the right intentions, drawing from solid experience and with an awareness of CES and attempts at networking thereof.

The whole central banking thing was a post-facto marketing push as crypto went mainstream AFAIK. I believe some of the people changed at some point, but I didn't have time to focus on Ripple and never met them. I believe the Ripple narrative mirrors my overall experience with crypto: nice technical ideas by people with positive social visions, suddenly people get paid to do it, utopian visions rapidly replaced with money people, regulatory ingress effectively destroys the USP, whole thing turns in to a scam, regulations become warped in to a system of protectionism and government effectively in cahoots with the dominant players. A real education in human behavior.
The story probably does end that way 99.9 out of 100 times.

Whose interest is it in that this is the story that gets repeatedly told as inspiration?
The non-tech founder is likely CEO (as they started in, and likely got the investor on-board), so they can likely fire the TCF without a vote. The board, likely made up of NTF, TCF, and investor could then fire the NTF.

In any case, this is not going to end nicely, and I would recommend walking away with whatever equity can be had without setting the counter-parties against TCF. If NTF and investor get really mad, they can easily dilute or destroy TCF's equity, so I'd try to avoid that.
> I’d strongly consider this for a web-only product, but that’s becoming more and more rare.

They have accompanying https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-ios and https://github.com/hotwired/turbo-android projects to bridge the gap.
It’s a very strange take.

There’s the obvious big ones — Amazon and Microsoft. Then second tier places — Boeing, Starbucks, Nintendo, etc.

Then there’s the tech satellites — Google and FB both have large offices. IBM and Oracle both have cloud teams.

Then there’s traditional companies opening satellites for tech talent — eg Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, and WarnerMedia.

And then everyone at the bar does a startup.

We aren't stagnating. We're moving dangerously fast: in the past century we've made more technical progress than in the past 10 thousand years. If anything, I'm worried that we'll make more progress in the next 50 years than we can handle. Where we're lacking is the moral side of things.

However I don't buy into your inequality talk. It seems a regressive ideology that replaces merit with physical attributes of human body. This is literally one step away from dark cults that worship human body.

If anything, the today's environment is the most favourable to women. The only reason why this safe playground exists is the shell that protects it. That shell is the army & navy made of very aggressive men who keep countries like China, Russia and Iran away. If you figure how to break this shell, you'll get to meet the rough reality.

The constructive way to promote equality would be to highlight capable women that write books, make music and so on.
No it doesn’t.

Typescript/GraphQL both have strong type checking. I think you need to be more familiar with the available tech before spreading FUD. You can even compose the micro services into a monolith if you want everything to just run. It’s a tool not a religion.

Yes I’m assuming conventions for services, just as in a monolith I’d assume standards for design and composition (usually an overriding architecture like MVC or some such).
pretty much any large dog can seriously fuck you up if they have a mind to. I've seen a chesapeake bay retriever crush a deer's head with his jaws. in the vast majority of cases, a properly socialized dog will not attack a human unprovoked.
Great touch. Actually I think we have model based science quite many decades now, but those model need to be anchored on testable and refutable something. (Phenomena is loaded word as I wonder it assumes model free and equipment free a bit). Model and refutable is key here.

We still have the qm to deal with. Just hope our model is even understandable. But at least that model is refutable.

As for correctness, I suspect we might never see 100% ever though. That is partly we are just have a century of major re-think about the fossilization of good science. And there is just happen our maths and mind can understand quite a bit of the universe.

There is always something to be found is good. And there is no guarantees we will know it all. That is good too. As it keeps the most important of science and philosophy alive:

Curiosity.
As someone who pays for and reads Logic Mag, I would caution others to take what is said here with a grain of salt, and also not to be surprised by the low quality interviews they feature, often with a rambling lack of focus. I started purchasing issues of Logic after reading one promising excerpt at a bookstore. However the overt biases of what topics they cover/how they cover them, the frequent reliance on vague anonymous sources of dubious quality, clear political biases, and low signal to noise ratio mean the current issue may be my last.
As a US veterinarian, I hold a nuanced view of spay/neuter. Nevertheless, I generally recommend it as default for most pet owners, as it goes along with their expectations of what their pet's life will be like. People who elected to leave their dogs intact are often shocked by something down the line.

1. Pyometra. Dogs do not have menopause, but they may stop cycling. When they do they can develop a uterine infection that can become life threatening in hours.

2. Perineal hernias. Unneutered, aging dogs are at risk for pelvic floor weakness that results in specialty surgery (and neutering), costing thousands of dollars.

3. Hit by car. Unneutered pets are much more likely to escape randomly and get hit by cars. Even pets that normally do not run away from their owners.

4. Mammary tumor. Unspayed or late-spayed females are at significantly more risk than those spayed at 6 months.

5. Pregnancy. Shocked pikachu face when the unspayed chihuahua actually did get knocked up by their friend's unneutered chow.

6. Bleeding. All bitches bleed during proestrus.

7. Behavior. The dog-park behavior people like in their pets is the behavior of neutered dogs. Unneutered dogs are much more likely to attempt to dominate the other dogs and get into fights.

That said, it's a trade off. Unneutered males definitely have a different growth pattern and develop a stockier build. They also seem to have significantly fewer issues with the cranial cruciate ligament in the stifle (knee). There are some other, more hand-wavey associations of cancer in golden retrievers related to neutering, but it's hard to tell if that's just an artifact of the data as it's more likely unneutered dogs appear at teaching hospitals for injuries (hit by car, fights) rather than for cancer.

I would love to just recommend people be responsible adults. I wish that the US could be like Norway, where people don't seem to abandon their unneutered animals, and they don't seem to have problems with their bad behavior.
The modern-day "Syndicate" was pretty underwhelming: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syndicate_(2012_video_game)
>Yeah that's what happened here, so that's exactly what “the last time this happened” means.

Well, hardly "exactly", as it also implies the cheating last happened at that time, which is, I'm willing to bet, not true...

>When you develop a system that can successfully impose consequences for behavior without detecting it, let us know

That's trivial and doesn't need inventing. You just impose consequences without detection. Not fair, but trivial to implement.

But how about better detection? If the "last time" they were caught was 1975, then something is surely amiss...
Words have the potential to affect action, that is their main purpose. But actions are not caused by words but influenced by them, which imo is a big difference
It's telling how the SoftBank Vision Fund has been ridiculed way more for bad investments than its Silicon Valley funding targets (https://visionfund.com/portfolio - this includes at least one prominent YC company which received its investment 3 months after the Khashoggi murder, btw) have been criticized for accepting Saudi blood money.
I disagree, I think this will go down as one of the biggest mistakes in Apple’s history. It could be the downfall of the company. Their business model depends on owning the whole ecosystem — every computing device you use day to day. Once cracks start forming in that ecosystem, trouble starts.
I don't think of it as complaining—I remember 'back in the day' when a 20 MB hard drive was thousands too... that's tech.

I was just commenting on the fact that there is often more-than-a-magnitude price difference between 1-10 Gbps.
The interesting thing is that if you don't think of the browser as just another runtime, nothing more than The VM That Lived (where applets and flash died), but actually think of your applications as Web Applications, then you get the ideas behind this faster.

JSON is just a media type that a resource can be rendered as. HTML is another media type for the same resource. Which is better? Neither, necessarily, it depends on the client application. But if you are primarily using JSON to drive updates to custom client code to push to HTML, well, that should give you something to think about.

This language looks very nice, I have been keeping an eye on it. From what I remember there were some issues around memory management without gc, specifically because there were mutable, reference types and multithreading. How does it manage memory? Does it use something like ref counting? Is there any documentation around it?
At scale, yeah it does take a lot of people to do this. It has nothing to do with the type of app and everything to do with how business works.

At scale you have huge enterprise customers with complex setups and they want to integrate your fancy todo list app into their setup and will pay you tons to do it. Your fancy todo list app suddenly needs to have all sorts of security certifications, needs to guarantee some type of uptime, needs to be able to integrate with all sorts of systems and other products (some of which none of your current engineers will have experience with). A new device will be released (think Apple Watch) and you're leaving money on the table if you don't hire some engineers to put your fancy todo list app on that platform along with the 5 or 6 others it's already maintained on.

At scale, 1 in a million type bugs/problems come up every day and you need more engineers to deal with them.

At scale, you are generating and producing (and thus need to be collecting and analyzing) an amazing amount of data, which should be used to better your product, learn about your customers and try to grow your business into providing other products and services your customers want / need. All that data collection, storage, and analysis requires more and more engineers.
>I'm definitely putting the cart before the horse though

Yes, but you're a software engineer by trade so you understand this is akin to someone saying: "I have access to a programming language and would love to build a business around it". You're ahead in the sense you're aware of it.

Usually, we sit down with clients and work with them to extracts problems they may have, and keep them talking about problems because they want to escape to shiny/exciting/buzzwordy things "chatbots dashboards NLP". We drill down until we extract problems, not solutions. We then go through our usual processes.

One way to look at it with your background would be the following: what would be close to impossible to write a program for but that you do easily as a human. Make a list. How much they're costing you (cognitive, time, money)? How frequently are they happening? This should get you started.

You do something similar but opposite with programming: you think of something that you can describe in clear steps that would be easy for a computer to do tirelessly and fast.

One other way to look at it is to open your eyes to the problems you have at work. If you work at an organization, apply the same thing. How much are these costing you? I'm asking you to think about selling to enterprise because I'm biased given that this is what I do, and because you want to build a business. Catering to enterprise would be, in my opinion, more interesting from a business standpoint.

What is the source of that data? Is it about a specific domain/industry/sector/function? Who would find it valuable?

> I don’t think it follows that Reddit would become as bad a voat if it was “all free speech all the time”.

Do you remember r/uncensored_news, a sub that sprang up in the wake of the Miami Pulse nightclub shooting? Apparently its raison d'etre was to show people "the truth" because r/news moderators were not approving the numerous news posts about it fast enough. Unsurprsingly, that was considered censorship.

It took all of 3 months for that sub to become filled with racist and bigoted misinformation. Reddit's admin policy is very generous. On numerous occasions, they have allowed hate speech communities to grow, right up until the inevitable calls to violence occur. At which point Reddit kills the sub and pretends it never existed.

I think this author is missing a major piece of dog park social norms where spaying & neutering are concerned -- behavioral changes that (ostensibly) arise from de-sexing dogs, particularly in neutering males. Maybe they should ask these other dog park goers _why_ they are so interested in status of their dog's reproductive organs...

In my own anecdotal experience, my male golden retriever (who I've spent considerable time socializing and training since adoption at 8 weeks), started to display some territorial and dominance issues around the 18mo mark. This behavior was particularly apparent around other intact males of equal-to-larger sizes than him, and culminated in a defensive fight with another (intact) lab mix.

I made the choice to schedule his neutering that day.

Since then (~6 months ago), his behavior has mellowed out considerably -- far more so than what I would otherwise attribute to maturing. I try not to judge people that harshly who make the choice not to neuter in the area (urban US city), but at the same time believe too many minimize an intact Fuffy's higher (IMO) propensity for dominant and aggressive behavior in social circumstances. Too often have I heard, 'he's a <retriever/doodle/some other family dog..>, obviously he wouldn't hurt a fly!' and it really grinds my gears.

Having an intact dog in a denser area is a huge responsibility (beyond potential offspring) and good owners should recognize this..especially if they're bringing these dogs into semi-controlled environments with strangers -- who, I'd posit, are more concerned about a harder-to-control Fluffy stepping over the line and their dog getting injured or worse, rather than causing an unexpected pregnancy.
What?!? You cannot liquidate a majority stake in a company, much less a high flyer absurd beta name like TSLA, without collapsing the market. And nobody but Musk wants to hold all the cards in TSLA because nobody is truly confident it should be valued up here. But they want enough skin in the game to participate in the ridiculous squeeze. If you tried to market even 10% of the float (absent the SPX inclusion event) you would see a serious pullback.
Yes, the decisions could go either way depending on circumstances. I think for me this was a good example of needing to stay on topic. Original comment was that not paying a middleman is one potential benefit of keeping common services in house and that many if not most roles could be filled externally.
This is a terrible situation because you're probably working with a really terrible founder.

Even if you end up holding on to the 40%, it's likely they'll try to screw you hard in the future so be wary of that.

If it's possible in the very, very nicest of indirect terms make sure they know they can get sued for these kind of shenanigans and it will ruin the company.

Long term though, it's hard to say, because they'll aggressively want to take everything.

Also: get a lawyer. (I should have said that first)
In my experience it doesn't really work that well.

I was trying to make a barcode scanner out of a raspberry pi with a camera module during a hackathon once. What an absolute nightmare.
That’s true for Linux and why Go thought they could do this everywhere. It turns out that libc is the only stable interface for a lot of platforms (notably MacOS and many other BSDs if not all).
