So in the past I almost exclusively grew my companies through revenue and borrowed funds, it can be stressful but it also is empowering as you don't have investors to please. A few comments from my point of view.

1. Loans are fine just watch the terms. Almost always you'll be signing a personally guarantee on them. I used credit cards, home equity, business loans etc. Look to your local small community or regional banks which many times are more willing to work with you.

2. IMO avoid SVB's products generally, they really aren't that favorable to startups. Your local smaller community banks will usually beat anything SVB will offer. In the US it is also worth pursuing government backed loans (SBA) etc.

3. Take advantage of SCORE, https://www.score.org/resource/list-startup-resources. Score has mentoring and other services which can help you in non-monetary ways which can be super helpful. Not saying they are perfect, but a lot of retired execs volunteer services there and have networks they can help you explore.

4. Factoring: I did work for a couple of Factoring companies, in general I advise people to avoid factoring companies at all costs. It is IMO the most expensive type of money you can get legally, it isn't rare to lose 30% on factoring, e.g. they "buy" your invoices at 70% of face value, sometimes less depending on your market and size. You can get better deals sometimes, but generally they are taking a pretty decent risk so you'll pay for it in some terms. I've seen promises from factoring companies that they only take 10%, but then they charge management and collection fees which people don't realize makes it still roughly a 30% take, or more. Many times you can get an existing investor to do this at much better terms then a factoring company.

5. Last thing, if you have $5 or $10k and want to start developing corporate credit that isn't personally guaranteed it isn't that hard to do. Again, go to the smaller banks, talk to them and open a 6-12 month CD (or other product they recommend), and then ask for a loan against that product (e.g. use it as collateral). Some times they will only loan 50%-70% of it initially, but that changes pretty quick. Use the loan, pay it off early, rinse and repeat. As you do this they will start upping the limit and letting you borrow more then the value of the collateral, until at some point you'll qualify for standard loan products. This isn't an immediate fix, but it builds corporate credit and over 1-2 years you can have a nice revolving line to pull from. Last time I did this, we took $2k and after 2 years had a $100k revolving line we could utilize that was not personally guaranteed. This can be difficult to do with the large banks as it doesn't fit their standard products, but smaller regional or community banks usually are far more flexible and happy to help.
I mean, bugs are most likely to be found in rarely used scenarios (like wiping) and also in the version of software that actually gets shipped with hardware, because it's got a non-negotiable tight release deadline. (Which is why many devices force an OS update from the internet before you can even use it for the first time.)

Of all the places for a crazy bug like this to be found, this seems like one of the least bonkers. :) And the excellent thing about Apple is that if you did brick it, Apple would just exchange it for you for free since it's their own defect.
... pretty much yes ? that's definitely what I'm here for. If I want emotion I read a novel. Here I just want raw information in order to optimize my work & life, or discuss on the projects that are of interest to me in order to make sure that there is enough public interest on them so that they keep being maintained until I don't need them anymore.

But then, I long for the end of individuality, which may not be your opinion. :-)

Let’s not overstate the findings here.
Only AmigaDOS (the I/O layer that was integrated in the last minute because there wasn't enough time until launch) was written in BCPL and a bit of an alien to the rest of AmigaOS.

For Exec, I'm actually not sure how much was written in C, and how much was 68k assembly, most likely a mix of both.
Nope.

Why not backup nuclear in place of backup gas? That combined with enough long-distance transmission obviates the need for gas.
TL;DR: It's a commit where the word "dummy" (occurring in dozens of places) was replaced by "phony".

Looking up the etymology of "dummy":

> 1590s, "mute person," from dumb (adj.) + -y. Extended by 1845 to "figure representing a person," hence "counterfeit object, something that imitates a reality for mechanical purposes."
My Swedish isn’t great, but is avanza saying that if you have a capital insurance then they are lending out your stocks ... that doesn’t sound like insurance at all.
They only don't have to pay for it because the Treasurer doesn't currently require them to. Based on my reading of the law, those are all things that Facebook could be forced to pay for. From the code:

> core news contentmeans content that
> (a)is created by a journalist; and (b) that records,
> investigates or explains issues that are of public
> significance for Australians; or are relevant in engaging
> Australians in public debate and in informing democratic
> decision-making; or relate to community and local events.

The code doesn't define what constitutes a "journalist" (unless Australia has some kind of pre-existing qualification system for journalists), but I think one could certainly argue that publishing the information in (b) automatically makes you a journalist.

Facebook blocked everything the law said they could be charged for, not everything they would currently be charged for. It's a bold move, and I think they failed at communicating that this was meant to demonstrate how broad the law is.

Or they were just boasting about how powerful they were, but I tend to think corporations are a little more emotionless than that.
That’s an old issue (also had it with a 2012 Mac mini). It’s interference from your USB 3.0 device/cable on the 2.4 GHz ISM band.

Potential ways to fix the issue:

• use a short USB 2.0 extension cable (like this¹ 6″/15cm one) to force the USB connection down to USB 2.0 (not ideal, but guaranteed to solve the problem)

• move the USB 3.0 HDD further away from the Mac mini and mouse

• try swapping out the USB 3.0 cable for one with better shielding

For more information about the issue, see Intel’s white paper titled USB 3.0 Radio Frequency Interference Impact on 2.4GHz Wireless Devices here².

But none of those were very multidecade plans. The Apollo program was basically the 1960s before democratic pressures ended it (society no longer saw as much value in space after the first moon landings). The interstates were largely a mid-century project, and they have infamously been neglected since. The internet was only a public project very early on, and most of what we now know as the internet was a product of the private sector, etc.

I had never heard of this, the use of already existing heat is amazing! Do they run 24/7? If not, they must use a lot of energy to cold start the process.

One classic example I always hear about efficient use of heat exchanger is the building of.swimming pool in the same building as ice rink. The heat produce cooling one is used to warm the other.

Thanks for all the detailed responses. Very much appreciated food for thought.

I have a specific question about the calculation of the fair value. My understanding is that there are two steps:

1. Project the future earning (that is the difficult part)

2. Discount the earnings and get the NPV - the fair value of the company

Currently the interest rates are so low that the NPV will be quite high and not that far from the current valuations. Indeed, this seems to be the rationalization by many for the sky high valuations of today. But this seems wrong to me. What would you advice? Pick some other interest rate, maybe an aspirational rate of return for ones investing? Or don't try to compute the NPV and think in terms of multiples like P/E and P/S?
> (And Heathrow as I recall still needs a bus for Terminal 4.)

Terminal 4 at Heathrow is a different "route", in that trains go to Terminal 2/3, then 5 or 4 IIRC (and you have to switch if you get on the wrong one), but they go there.

> not going to make a bunch of airport stops in the middle of a public transportation route

Generally, but see Sydney Airport here, where the Domestic and International terminals are very close to the Central station, which is in turn almost the start of the T8 line. I'm sure there are others as well.

Cool, then yes you should definitely care what your brokerage is doing
I don't think it was wrong then either. I think this is a greater fool style of bubble like the famous tulip bubble, eventually we'll run out of fools.

That's my opinion, but we'll see.
A lot of other professions build complex things, even sometimes involving large teams across different departments. Do they all have their different industry frameworks/methodologies (like Agile), or is that unique to software?
I have twice been in a situation where I had to deplane by mobile lounge at Dulles. For your standard modern medium-haul airplane, it takes at least two mobile lounges to fully support the passenger load, and it's a decently crowded standing-room-only affair.

Continuing the original vision, it's clear that passenger counts are absolutely incapable of supporting the "lounge" aspect of the mobile lounge design. You don't want to be on those things longer than you have to. It's still more comfortable than a trek on the tarmac, but it's definitely not superior to the modern gate system.
It still works, you just have to mess around with the lines a bit more: https://gliggy.github.io/broken.png

This was a really interesting article. I appreciate the author's matter-of-fact style, and the way he communicates his own thoughts without trying to say they're the only correct thoughts. And despite the author's own experiences, I came away thinking that I would actually like to try writing something in Forth myself. Even though I like "C". This description really resonated with me:

I don't think this is related to the NVIDIA drivers, personally I just use the integrated Intel graphics on Linux as I don't need 3D acceleration and as the NVIDIA card drains the battery quite fast.

As others have said try installing the proprietary driver, maybe that'll fix it. I'm a KDE user since several years though so I don't have much experience with Gnome, I switched to KDE because it had (has?) better support for fractional scaling, which I direly need to make a multi-monitor High DPI setup usable.
Presumably it's a very reproducible bug during very basic operation but with easiness of getting 'healthy' supply of COVID while accessing another Mac in the repair-shop I would rather not play with it to find out more unless Apple sends me another 20 Macs and pays a lot for this headache.
But don't most dependent type theories have a restrictive notion of equality (e.g. without extensional equality of functions) making many things that we would like to be monoids not fit that definition? Anyway, I agree with your general point: dependent types are extremely simple, and make so many things more elegant (type-safe printf is the common example) that I'm surprised they aren't more popular.
That room full of women is in our society though. The previous commenter was pointing out that there are other societies that contain a lot less violence, therefore it doesn't have to be considered a given that rape and murder will always be present in society.

It's easy to believe that it's "in our nature" because of the dynamics which you describe being so common in the most dominant society, which is the only society most people have experience of. But, as another idiot with ideals, I believe we should not view this trend as a fatalistic inevitability, that it will always exist no matter how hard we work to change things.

Most people are in a state of near constant existential threat, due to their impoverishment in artificial scarcity (so much wealth in the world but must of us have access to nearly none of it). So most people don't have the luxury of being nice, even if it's the right thing to do. That and the fact that most of us are victims of many-generation-long cycles of inherited abuse that can be so hard to get out of. We have in many ways only ever been taught to be cruel to each other.

If we all play along with the idea of this inevitability, as in the top level commenter's claims of human nature, we only make it more true and harder to escape.

Nobody "proposes" resignation in such circumstances to an employer unless they are fully in battle. And according to this article she acknowledged that herself:

JFK, Newark, Oakland. Two of those three airports are NYC airports, and I strongly suspect (especially from the train-to-the-train phrasing) that the author is mostly complaining about JFK's setup, which is an unusual setup for airports.

To me, the thing that really makes online arguments different than in person ones is that I'm usually not trying to persuade the person I'm directly replying to, I'm trying to present an alternate viewpoint to the other people who might see the comments.

Somebody will say a ridiculous NIMBY thing that sounds good on the surface, and I know I can't persuade them based on years of knowing their online persona, but I feel a need to reply in case somebody who doesn't have an entrenched opinion reads it.
There was an interesting issue with a rail connection on the Narita International Airport serving Tokyo.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Narita_International_Airport#C...

The airport was build in big style on the 60s on farmland forcefully bought from local farmers and should have been served by a Shinkansen high speed line directly from Tokyo station, making it's 50+ km distance from the city center an non-issue!

Lets say this did not go well with the farmers, who felt their rightful possession was forcefully taken and started what was effectively a major guerilla warfare campaign against the airport. There was a lot of sabotage, arson, general attacks and even high towers built near the Airport edge on still private land.

Over the years the airport project managed to prevail and the situation mostly quieted down (there is actually still one farmer quietly farmer who never sold tending his farm in the middle of the airport grounds, complete with a route access tunnel!).

Still, there was the problem of actually getting to the airport from Tokyo - no one wanted to risk another war with farmers for the land needed to build the Shinkansen line to the airport, so it ended up with a fully built Shinkansen station under the airport but no rail actually connecting to it. This got even more bizzare over the years as private railway companies creeped with their conventional lines ever closer to the airport yet the airport staunchly prevented anyone from using their shiny useless station with unworthy non-shinkansen trains.

The situation was untenable long term, with travelers having to travel to a nearby train station and then take a bus to the airport, causing delays. So finally in 1991 after immense political pressure the first rail connection to the airport opened and these days 3 different rail lines serve the airport, including a non-shinkanse high speed train that takes you to the center of Tokyo in 45 minutes with 160 km top speed (~ 1/2 of what modern shinkansen can do).

Thanks for replying.

A personal professional reputation, by contrast, is a bit harder to build than the big salary but also harder to lose.

I think perhaps it's a question of semantics - when it's put like this, to me it sounds much more reasonable and even a good idea. I think it's just the phrase 'personal brand' that has some sort of mental block around it for me - it just sounds so... pretentious.
Most Exec data structures were organized as what's called today "intrusive doubly linked lists" where the list node struct is placed directly in front of the actual "payload data" in the same C struct.

One could call that "polymorphism" and "inheritance", but IMHO it's a bit of a stretch.
Arguably after getting the job (of improving the Linux desktop experience) done. (not alone, by any stretch - but Ubuntu, when they started shipping free cd/dvds - did a lot to package debia for the masses, I'd say).
It leads me to believe there are more 'hidden' things there. Honestly I do not even consider it a 'personal' computer because of this. It's a 'terminal' at best and even in that role I have no idea how secure it can be.
To have some significance, you'd need to link to a statement you wrote on this topic prior to the research being published. Otherwise this looks like you're just standing on the shoulders of giants to sing about how tall you are.

To be clear-- even if you had published your 2nd paragraph prior to this research being published, that wouldn't qualify as something that is "completely obvious." At the very least you would have needed to give a hypothesis as to why it is you think the current anti-bullying programs cannot work. That hypothesis would have needed to at least include something like, "in my experience people end up bullying their friends most of the time."

Otherwise, you can't convincingly claim the truth was obvious and people who didn't get it were likely pretending. Without the research, everyone just shrinks back to become little mice noisily speculating about the state of the world.

Edit: clarification
