I'm doing a soft launch, and I'll start reaching rehearsal spaces in New Zealand and Australia this week, as these are still open even while we are in a pandemic.

I'll start reaching studios in US and Europe later this year as these places get out of the pandemic.
Why You Should Learn Rust in 2021
He seems to consider himself a "high-functioning autistic", which would make this at least partly self-deprecating.

This shouldn't be a problem as long as they don't panic. It will have an increasing social cost to support the elderly, but at the same time, in theory they worked all their life to save up and contribute to (state) pensions to afford this. In theory, in practice (as a layman) it seems the younger generation pays for the older generations.

Anyway, this will happen all over the world over time; birth rate is dropping in Europe and N-America because of the current economic climate, that is, people can no longer afford to have children, because they have to work tons of hours and multiple jobs just to keep afloat. The boomers were able to buy a big house and cars in the suburbs in their early twenties on a blue collar job. Not going to lie, I'm jealous of that.

Meanwhile, I was a single white collar worker who had to live in substandard 'student' housing for close to a decade before finally my wage and the housing market aligned enough for me to be able to buy a modest house. Not complaining about the house or anything, but I already feel very privileged and since then the housing prices have gone up by another 10-20%, making owning a house and therefore the stability to start a family unreachable for a lot of people.

What I'm trying to say is, to slow down or reverse birth rate decline in 'the west', we need financial stability and security. We need to be able to afford a decent house on a single income, and to get rid of the stress of living in debt and from paycheck to paycheck.
In Israel a lot of services are tied to an SMS based OTP (including government services), so one doesn't even leave the app. the app reads the token out of the SMS and fills itself in (of course if that fails, you can still enter it manually).
One can be alarmed without being surprised. I mean, neither of my parents should have been particularly surprised by the cancer and Alzheimer’s diagnoses respectively given their ages at diagnosis, but it was still pretty alarming for each of them (and the rest of us in the family) when they were diagnosed.
The probability you can switch a corporation is much higher.

Interesting. Certainly it doesn't bother me anymore a couple years later, but I don't think it completely went away.

I was still never sure the dmt caused it so I would be interested to hear your story. Maybe email me? dev@doubly.so
Swedish authorities did write a report about this about a decade ago[1]. Long story short: The immigration approach won't really work as different people have cultural differences, educational differences, ambitions and life-goals, and it's unlikely that there will be enough compatible people that are actually interested in the openings that actually exist.

Apart from that, simply replacing the population also presents quite a few challenges that are likely to result in a very infected and polarized debate regarding the future direction of the societies that such replacement takes place in.

That being said, I believe you're right about the fact that there's going to be a lot of migrations going on around the Globe for the next few hundred years. It's just not automatically going to solve the birth rate issue.
This assumption that countries need population growth is insane. Humans are not bacteria, we should not pursue endless population growth. What we need is serious investments in technology to make elder care easier.
Tomy Tutor, an unusual semi-compatible system based on the TI 99 series. I still have that exact machine, and it still works.
Really cool! You say you use Rust and Go. Why both? I imagine Rust for super performance sensitive stuff and Go for the rest, for faster development?
You didn't specify any subfield, which is rather important, as the worth varies wildly according to that. I'll just assume you are a software developer: to be honest, except for some niche or company-specific fields, that are tied to a narrow or harder to grasp field of the industry - networking, or Oracle/Microsoft ones come to mind - certificates are a waste of time.

The internet is full of knowledge, tutorials, blog posts, courses. Complete some and start some own (pet) projects. Contribute to an open source product. Be an intern and have that time show on your resume. Snapping up certificates will make your CV look like Michael Scott's wall from The Office. Honestly, at interviews I don't even look at college degree, let alone random certificates. All that matters is on-field experience and work that you did.
The legal cap is 48hrs/week, max 10hrs/d. Parental leave is 12-14 months and you get around 67% of your average net income. When you look at vacation you have to take public holidays into account and that differs a lot between the states within Germany. Germany has 5 public holidays (which don't fall on a Saturday or Sunday), the USA for example has 9 public holidays this year.
The benefits are largely the result of workers unions. Most benefits were given to prevent a rise of communism. The result were high work standards. But those high standards only apply to some industries which are in decline and some of them have almost disappeared (steel for example).
Germany is almost certainly not the worst place to be a worker. The problem is that Germany is a gerontocracy. Only the elderly part of the workforce fully benefits from them. 30 days paid leave with 38-39hrs/week were normal a few decades ago. Nowadays one should not expect to get more than the bare minimum. In a lot of industries workarounds have become the norm. For example workers in slaughterhouses are hired as contractors so work standards don't need to be applied.
The main issue I have is that the German economy and the idea of the social welfare state is on shaky feet. The baby boomer will retire within the next decade but the German welfare state is based on a pyramid scheme which will collapse soon.
So Germany is a bad place to be worker in that sense that you need to take a gigantic bet on the continuation of a system which is designated to fail on the long run.
So many nice insight. Thanks.

What about a use case when it is inconvenient to create another password for a new user base at a company and this way you have users without calling support all the time.

Oh yes... I should work on reducing the size of my Webpack bundle. I'll start reaching rehearsal spaces owner later this week, studios should start adding up!
If you've enjoyed The Wire, do read David Simon's books, it's outstanding work:

- Homicide: A Year on the Killing Streets

- The Corner: A Year in the Life of an Inner-City Neighborhood
Or "c'mon," if you want to abbreviate it.
While I enjoyed the read, I was perplexed by the author writing a long post about how busy and stressed he is and then casually mentioning that he also started a new book and inviting us to sign up for his newsletter right at the end.

One thing that drives me crazy about this is that Apple and Google partnered to come up with a brilliant Bluetooth solution to contact tracing right at the beginning of the pandemic.

It was privacy first, well designed, and it works.

It was hamstrung by being opt-in instead of opt-out, relying on state level cooperation and misunderstood by people who didn’t even attempt to try to understand it (including here on HN).

As a result you now see dumber, less effective, less privacy conscious contact tracing in effect or governments relying on data brokers (all the other apps that collect and resell your data to third parties and are not opt-out).

It’s a shame.

Yes, there are families in Florence, England and other European countries and cities who have enjoyed unbroken dynastic wealth over several hundreds of years. But this doesn't prove that Europe is more or less equal than the US. The US has only existed for ~2 centuries. In 1870 the US surpassed the UK to become the world's largest economy, and remains so. So there's only been 2 centuries or less for dynastic wealth to form in the US, as opposed to ~10 centuries in Europe.

It's treated as enterprise because most regular users had no realistic reason to care about it. The practical consequences of not having this on your phone or home PC are completely invisible for the vast majority of people. Because of this and the fact that in the consumer space prices matter most the situation is quite expected.

>Humans feel empathy. States (and corporations) only follow interests.

This is such a bizarre statement to me. States and corporations are made of people. For the states and corporations to lack empathy it means the people controlling them are lacking empathy.
I'm worried about trademark law, not fraud per se, and consumer confusion is the gold standard.

The ad can violate trademarks even if the site behind the ad is squeaky-clean.

Some small earnings come from domain registration commissions themselves. Most of it comes from commissions for hosting packages.

In the past the site made more money because I got commission from domain sales/auctions. Because of API changes and what not this changed but I plan to bring this back. In my experience this is the most lucrative part of this site even if sales are very sporadic.

Is there anything interesting on that pre-launch page?

Saw a few of such things done by friends/colleagues and they always did that by building community on twitter or other media first. So it was just the same group they already had. The less the site actually explained and gave to the user the more successful it was. Pure local hype.

On the other hand it was just used to generate more twitter/facebook traffic about how that pre-lauch was successful, but nothing ever launched. It was always just a tool to generate noise and traffic on other media.

For instance [beware, biased personal experience]: a friend announced a mysterious site/service on topics he already was loud about on social media - personal trainer in IT area. Got 50 000 signups for a newsletter in a few days, actual organic traffic - this I'm certain about. Never launched anything new. He just took that site down when everyone forgot and started consulting more openly. The only new "product" was a newsletter that was sent for a year or so with the same content he already published regularly on twitter. Now he earns money on teaching others to get similar good PR (and other less soft IT stuff). Apparently this is called "building community". Mostly IT people, btw..

I'm sure he achieved some goals and is successful personally, but if you are able to mobilize 50 000 people to get their emails spammed and none of them complains when you don't create ANYTHING new it does rise questions. What is your significant community worth, if they don't care at all? Is there anything you actually deliver when you are hired?

I think you're turning a blind eye towards the more than strong association of Spears' public image and marketing with her sexual appeal. I suspect that the way she was marketed as an idol was actually influential in the business.

For instance, those photos of Spears were surely released on her behalf, to boost her career.

The link in the email may or may not work that way - that would be down to how the authentication system has been designed.

Some of them recognise that users aren't always signing in on the same device that their email account is set up on, so the link in the email just confirms that the login attempt is genuine.

This is similar to how Google/Apple/Microsoft/Blizzard/Steam handle login requests with their respective authenticator apps. You attempt to log in on device X (which can be anything), then confirm that the login request is genuine on device Y (your personal device).
Well then it becomes a question of attribution. How do you with a finite amount of dollars to spend on advertising know if you are getting your money's worth when you cannot connect a dollar spent on ad with incoming revenue?

Sure in broad strokes you are probably right that brand awareness has ROI positive in the long term. But then why would you buy targeted advertising vs a giant billboard on the main road?
Making someone else money is not the problem. Doing so without getting any satisfaction beyond just earning a paycheck - that's when it gets depressing. Or worse... doing so on a project which you know is doomed, and thus costs your team's time and your company's money.
What's your source for "most"? I'd always thought a small fraction was technological advance while a large fraction was unsustainable use of resources
In Emacs you can set up Python in a (quite neutered) similar way. Whenever I change a function, I just evaluate the whole buffer to load it in the attached Python process, and will switch over to the Python process to play with it if need be.

Reading your essay it feels like you were obsessed with the product's artefacts, the methodology, the tech stack, the hosting, the scalability, the suportabiliry..., far more than wth the solution and getting the first sale.

All of these are good qualities, but if you then do not have a product owner to push back and force you to deliver fast and cut every corner imaginable, you can indeed find yourself in endless development rewrites and optimisations.

I have seen quite a few startups up close in Belgium, and I'm fairly confident that you would be horrified by the code base and operations of the ones that are succeeding.

Relational databases are an extremely specialized kind of datastore that people only treat as "standard" because they've been around a long time. They're not better than the alternatives, and in many ways they're worse: by picking a relational database you're committing to difficulty deploying schema changes, difficulty sharding, an awkward square-table model and a terrible query language, and if you make the mistake of trying to use the transactional functionality that's the one actual selling point of those datastores then you're practically guaranteed to deadlock yourself in production at some point during your growth process.

Not only that, it's also the counterexample to calling "slippery slope" a fallacy. After all, slippery slope is not a fallacy if the slope is, in fact, slippery.
I don't think a downvote is meant for expressing disapproval of an opinion. Using it that way means that people may not express themselves, or only do so if they think it's consensus

I try to use downvotes sparingly, only for posts that have violated the guidelines, particularly when the post is mean or dismissive.

If it's an opinion I disagree with, I might reply, but I won't otherwise downvote

Usually you will have to choose the jurisdiction of the party you want to take to court. This is part of the reason some regulated industries require you to have presence locally.

>Also, I'm not sure I'd call that significant Bitcoin adoption if their only use for it is as an intermediary to exit a different cryptocurrency.

Why is that so? As far as I'm concerned (as an early adopter of bitcoin and other crypto), Bitcoin's primary use has always been to fill the void when government-sanctioned currencies and financial systems fail. Without Bitcoin these poor people would be unable to cash out the fruits of their creative endeavors - its absolutely critical. Different people use Bitcoin for difference purposes, but none of these purposes is inherently less legitimate than another.
You keep using this word "fallacy". I don't think it means what you think it means [1]

(a) a deceptive, misleading, or false notion, belief, etc.:
That the world is flat was at one time a popular fallacy.

(b) a misleading or unsound argument.

(c) deceptive, misleading, or false nature; erroneousness.

(d) Logic. any of various types of erroneous reasoning that render arguments logically unsound.

I wonder if they're more lazy than their Western counterparts. For most people who go into office jobs, low effort and expectations (as compared to say working in a factory or on a construction site) are one of the main perks.

>>"Retirement funds don’t strictly requiring that, they just require that there are more workers than pensioners [..]"

That's not necessary. They require that the active workers (plus capital) are productive enough to keep life standards for everybody. There is not theoretical limit for how many workers are necessary. In the extreme it could be with one or zero workers.
How would that work? The South isn't going to submit to Kim Jong-un, and he isn't going to give up power.
