Have you considered that maybe everyone is not stupid and you are the one being wrong?

Maybe people realize that the relationship between relatively small and disparate local media companies and the giant foreign tech companies aggregating them and making money from their content doesn't allow negotiation on an equal footing and that preserving healthy journalism justify a state intervention.

France did it well. Australia is trying. Apparently Facebook is more scared of France than Australia.
What is your actual question? Is it:

- "Have You Consulted with Experts?"

Or:

- "How can you scale consulting as a service for startups/founders?"

Or:

- What are the ways to solve the bad reputation consulting has among startups and venture capitalists?
Glad you can at least admit there's value to my question now - maybe you shouldn't assume why someone's asking for something or what their capabilities generally are. In reality I did start reading the beginning of it and it was dense, I didn't check how long it was either, but that's what lead me to coming back to HN and posting. So yes, I see now if I had explained that in full you would have likely had compassion for my asking the question.
It's not, because of the scales involved. One is a heavily agrarian/rural state and the other is a combination of rural and major metropolises.

Because of how the states are divided, it becomes a compare "nearly pure rural" to "vibrant mix of major rural, suburban and urban" communities. Some states are just absolutely tiny by population and entirely rural. And it's just not an apples to apples comparison to compare one rural area with one rural/urban area. A better comparison would be just Texas's rural areas to Nebraska, without any of its cities.

When comparing apples to oranges this way, it's a roundabout way of saying "just be rural" or "don't even try to solve urban problems".
I think almost every platform made trades free in December 2019. In any case Bank of America/Merrill Edge also has free trades.
Hospitals have hospital administrators at the top, which are not doctors. Law firms do have lawyers on top, but they are basically like small consulting shops. (Small tech consulting shops similarly have tech people on top.) In most companies, though, legal is just a department like any other.

There are other explanations than that 'they fear dissent'. There's what you say, and there's how you say it. It reflects poorly on a serious publication if their comments section is full of insults and slurs, regardless of whether the comments support leftwing or rightwing causes.
This depends on your country's tax code, but assume by default not. For example, in France, interest on savings (Livret A) is tax exempt, whereas in Sweden it's not. When living in Sweden, I had to pay taxes on French interest.
I can't really understand the obsession with distros, they all still use pretty much the same packages and few different desktop environments. Most likely if some piece of hardware won't work on one distro it won't work on others. If a nice tool/app exists on one distro you can find it for others. And Gimp is still sh*t on all of them.
There is barely any new software and there hasn't been for the last decade or so. Apart from programming tools and command-line stuff. But desktop computing seems to be stuck in the 2000s in general.
For adults, bullying, injustice, unfairness and exclusion is just standard, normal behaviour, especially at top leadership.

Somewhat. However, in contrast to kids, adults have rights and access to the judicial system, which makes bullying etc. harder.
The problem is people have sort of recognized that having multiple lawyers on one case doesn’t help. But they still think that is true for programmers.

Multiple external accounts could mean her lawyer's account and her own. Or 2 lawyers' accounts. The latter would help show she didn't distribute the files to anyone else.
I'm baffled that people are (or pretend to be) surprised by this. This should be completely obvious to anyone who's ever seen the inside of a high school.

What's actually going on is that rather than taking the uncomfortable step and questioning our current day school system where we send our kids to prisons (in anything but name), give them BS tasks for years and call it "education", the people in charge prefer to make the bullying problem one of the "socially disadvantaged" fringe groups, which allows them to throw public money at "anti bullying programs" and other pedagogical bullshit that target said fringe groups, so they can say "look, we're doing something!". Utterly disgusting.

> though it may be that even stricter sandboxing is needed to make that a reality; Wayland being stricter than X11 is just one step along the way.

It is not a situation of “it may be”; it is a situation of “it is”.

Right now, it is useless as the security boundary on Unix and any other operating system is fundamentally the user and malicious software that runs as one's user can modify every file and process one owns anyway.

I read one comment a while back by a developer that illustrated the fruitlessness of Wayland by saying that it is essentially a lock on a door, that stands in the middle of room, that one can simply walk around, claiming to add security.
You can order physical delivery of certificates from them if you want, but absolutely nobody actually wants this, not least because you'll have to pay for all the silly labour involved, and pay for it all over again if you ever intend to sell what you own. It's exactly like worrying about Visa/Mastercard trying to fuck you when paying for gas in a foreign currency, while ignoring the massive convenience and cost efficiencies you receive in return. Failure of the depository system is no more likely than failure of the bond market -- and even if it did fail, the paper trail means you'd have extremely strong and obvious claims to whatever it is you happen to own. If you're worried about such critical infrastructure failing, just go live in a cave or renovated nuclear bunker, because that means cash is dead to you too.

Cede & Co conspiracy theories are a non-issue, and absolutely nobody wants the alternative, which involved fleets of bicycle couriers carrying actual physical certificates between brokers, and caused so much overhead that the US market system reached the point of total collapse prior to introduction of the depository, resulting at one point in the stock exchanges closing for one business day per week simply to allow brokers time catch up on all the paper mess.
TD Digest #168 – Woke Up This Morning
I have to push back against the 'process' too often to care to count. The idea of the self managed team shatters against the rocks of: there is no card on the board for this so I can't do it, which produces boards filled with cards that have no user value in them. We twist ourselves in knots explaining that 'yeah, implementing the CI/CD pipeline brings value to the user because we are faster at delivering software'.

It boils down to the idea that the 'user stories' are just metric collection tools, so if you haven't delivered a story, you implicitly have done nothing.

And the 'placeholders for a conversation' have become mini requirement docs, because we don't trust our development team to pick up a card and investigate, communicate and plan their work. So refinement meetings become long debates on the minutia of the story, litanies of acceptance criteria that read like contract agreements of years past.

You begin to see hierarchical structure form in supposed teams of peers, where someone will casually ask: "Hey X - can you put a story on the board with this?"

"Agile" is no longer a adjective of how our practices are, but a label on a set of processes that some board has certified as such.

PS: Can anyone tell me why when I write in my iPad all my comments look like code blocks? I know it's annoying too others, but not as much as it is to me!

Yep, pretty much. Once you've written something once, it's easier to write it again. I try to use languages with similar syntax and only use a common subset of their syntax, so it's often almost entirely a copy-paste job.

There are many advantages to doing it this way. One is that I thoroughly review each side of the codebase while writing the other. Another is that I get a complete coverage test suite for free out of the deal. Another is that if something goes sideways, it's easier to figure out where that is. It's also easier to discover any faults, because the outputs don't match up.
Except that humans didn't evolve as herd grazers avoiding predators. In this case, it's asserting social dominance in order to get first access to resources.

I’m not a lawyer but own a number of shares in a number of companies through IG in the UK.

Since you don’t really own the shares, the broker (in my case IG) hold them on my behalf in a ledger that simply allocates the shares to me then I imagine they can do what they like with the shares. So long as the money is there when you want to liquidate it then it’s irrelevant to some degree.

In the UK the value of the shares I believe is fenced off in a separate entity so that should the broker go bankrupt the money is still there for shareholders (ie shares bought in the platform, not shareholders in the brokerage) and inaccessible to creditors, this was tested in the high court in the UK recently when the administrators tried to use this ring fenced money to pay their fees as the broker couldn’t pay it themselves and the ring fence was upheld by the court.

Not sure if any of this helps but it’s good to remember you don’t actually own the shares, they are held by someone else and they can probably do what they like with it.

I don't have much confidence in the scientific accuracy of a "long read" article that begins with the mind numbing trope of a storybook personal anecdote. 80% of this article is free of useful or relevant information. The parts that anyone would ever remember could be summed up in 3 paragraphs. I really hate this trend in journalism but I suppose it exists for a reason, as people won't read things that aren't "entertaining".

The biggest culprit I've seen for this kind of bloat is reporting requirements. Senior leadership is often perceived as wanting to see burndown charts and other numerical progress indicators. These reports are then presented to leadership, and then leadership reacts to seeing the burndown as flat, have a giant spike at the end, or go the opposite direction. Good leadership will of course ask for corrective actions, as clearly one of their teams is struggling, and then the team/manager will come up with more complex workflows to help clarify progress.

In practice I've found a 2-3 sentence update for each project on what's been achieved for any given project on the team and what's happening next is more than sufficient. Bonus points for capturing the highlights and action items from the retro. You'll still get questions/kudos for progress, but its easier to discuss the root causes without reaching for the "process change" tool.

Hum... I don't think you understood what I said.

Most of what people call monolithic systems are indeed distributed. There are usually explicit requirements for them to be distributed, so it's not up to the developer.

But ACID databases provide an island of well understood behavior on the hostile area of distributed systems, and most of those programs can do with just an ACID database and no further communication. (Now, whether your database is really ACID is another can of worms.)

They've never really done a real new version built from the ground up. Well not since Windows NT (in 1993) and Windows 95. I guess you could argue that Vista was a big overhaul but that took a long time and was still NT. The Windows 10 way is more like OS X or Ubuntu with incremental changes over time.

And they do remove or replace things in new Windows versions. They even tried removing Paint but that got a lot of push back from people. Sometimes they only remove things for new installs but other times they replace things for everyone, like the screenshot tool or Edge with Chromium based Edge.

His third point - “Dialog, not Dictation” - I agree with, but the other two are false dichotomies. Process (or at least the service levels enabled by process) is part of the whole product. Management and leadership are two sides of the same coin - one without the other is empty.

I get the frustration. Imposed process smells of poor management. But process and management can’t just be wished away.

Interesting comment on Fahrenheit, as I would say it has too much resolution for day to day use. A nice sunny day is in "the low 70s". A cold winter day is in "the high 20s". There is too much precision in the units to give an exact numeric value, so we round it to low/mid/high. That implies that the general unit we should be using is somewhere around 3 times larger than Fahrenheit degrees, because that is the size of the unit we use in speech anyways.

Ignoring the fact that this sounds like an ad for Hetzner, I'm not sure this is good _generic_ advice. It may be good for _some_, but the vast majority of single SaaS founders have access to platforms now (mostly via big IaaS providers) that allow them to build, develop, and deploy without ever worrying about RAID, Apache servers or Postgresql restarts.

> Plus they'll sometimes force reboot or force migrate ( =pause) your instances.

Extremely rare, but probably happens at a similar rate as your "single box" dedicated provider losing an HDD or having a datacenter blip.

My point here is that what you described sounds like the kinds of things SaaS developers needed to worry about ~10 years ago. The platforms of today aren't perfect, but they abstract away 90% of that and allow you to focus on business logic, which is exactly what a single SaaS developer should be doing.
