Interesting that there is a Createspace package! They seem to have taken the "inject weird PDF objects straight from LaTeX" route. The other route is the pdfx package, which I ended up using.

I have been struggling with this and finally got my class to produce possibly PDF/X-4 compatible printable file and PDF/A-2b compatible PDF file for archival purposes.

Maybe the next step is adding epub generation from the same LaTeX source.
This sounds like asian supremacism.
The key is right their in evolution - adaptation.

These days I’m far less interested in what skills someone has. I’m far more interested to see if they have a track record of being able to adapt to changing circumstances. I’d much rather have someone who has shown they can adapt - or better still, will embrace the chaos openly :)

You don’t want to have everyone like that - you need a few “slow and steady wins the race” types to keep fundamental stuff going too. But I know which side of that equation I’d rather be on :)
It does.

GME doesn’t issue dividends and they will need to sell stock to change course, this requires even more new investors than now to perpetuate.

I am a generalist to the extreme, and I kind of hate it.

* For non-job stuff I am a human encyclopedia. Within tech, I am quite resourceful when it comes to the meta, but am never the go-to person for a particular task.

* Did MechE -> CS -> ML.... so have a generalists technical education.

* I have done meaty projects in all of Vision, NLP, ML for systems, Computational social science, HealthML at production/publishable levels.

* I am great a public speaker and have been recommended to do go down the MBA rabbit hole by many people. But, I am too well meaning to play office politics.

The constant feeling of imposter syndrome despite countless assurances becomes grating after a while. The only exception is cooking, and man does it feel good to KNOW that you are good at something. My greatest phobia in life is to be an "all bark, no bite" sort of person. I find anything and everything exciting, so my affliction seems to be permanent.

But, if anyone is in my position; hunker down and get yourself a specialization: a safe space. It will take 2-5 years of full-time work on the exact thing, but then there comes what I presume is a strong sense of competence that you never need to question. After that you have your whole life to generalize. Might be a grass is greener on the other side situation, but my 2 cents.

> Is a glas of (pure) orange juice the same as a glas of coke?

About the same, both are high on fructose (orange's being nature made, whereas coke's is added from corn syrup), and fructose is the #1 culprit in fatty liver.

Both are piking your insulin big time, which is the main vector of 'sugar' consumption leading to a wide variety of health concerns (numerous insulin pikes leads to insulin resistance which leads to type 2 diabete which leads to virtually any non-infectious disease).

Well, the reason their messaging can be so direct is that there's a legitimate difference of opinion here. I'd kinda argue that your description of Amazon can be better applied to union organizers, who seem to have a pervasive attitude that any worker who opposes a union must have been tricked or bullied into their position. Some people legitimately believe that a union might be bad for their interests, and they're the ones Amazon is trying to reach - the confidently pro-union employees will probably vote for one regardless of how Amazon presents their case.
> Interestingly, we did extensive time tracking on a multi-year in-house software project and collected data comparing the estimated completion time of tickets with their actual time.

> The software department was under a lot of pressure to improve their forecasting, and were somewhat despairing that their estimates were off by a factor of about 1.6 on average

Hum, 1.6x average is actually extra interesting to me - if case time tracking is left on while people are in meetings/etc, this could translate to a perfect estimate with about 1/3 of their time spent on non-casework (meetings, co-worker interruptions, etc). That kinda sounds about accurate to me, depending on the day...
>SaaS turns your startup into a unicorn and yourself into a rich person. Or at least that's what you are hoping/aiming for. A library is not going to make you a billionaire.

The article's author seems to be making an indirect reference to Moxie Marlinspike (Signal) "ecosystem is moving" essay[0].

If so, Moxie Marlinspike's method for becoming a billionaire by creating non-profit 501(c)(3) organization and providing Signal's source code is a very strange way to cash out of a unicorn.

And btw... even though users/developers have the Signal source[1] which enables them to create an alternate chat universe that's not dependent on Signal's official service/servers, that isn't good enough. They still want to federate[2] with Moxie's servers. This aspect isn't addressed by op's (catern) article.

In other words, having a library (or even the full client+server source code) doesn't really solve the users end needs. It turns out that many place more importance on the service than the library.

EDIT to reply: The first IKEA business in 1943 was for-profit. The non-profit foundation (Stichting Ingka Foundation) was formed later in 1982 so the owner could take advantage of tax efficiencies. I don't see how IKEA's opposite timeline has any relevance to Marlin's playbook to become a billionaire. Is there a real case study of a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity tricking everyone into a bait & switch and minting a new billionaire?
My favorite pet peeve is whoever decided that in gmail nothing is ever deleted but you can move messages to the Trash folder.

So instead of Select message, click Delete you have Select message, click Move, select Trash folder. Sure it's not much, but I reckon the cumulative time wasted by that extra action has taken a couple days of my life over the past decades.
In Slack, an easy way to solve this is to enforce rules better. If not everyone needs to know about it, it doesn't need to be in a public channel. More channels might need to be created to narrow their focus (specific projects, specific team groups, etc.) If you're responding to a statement, it should always goes in a thread.

On a personal level, you could mute channels and only read them when your highlighted words are used (your name, project names, etc.)

On the opposite end, you might like the tool Threads https://threads.com/? It acts more like an asynchronous message board for communication. When a conversation needs to happen, you invite the relevant people to the thread. The thread is publicly available to anyone in the channel to read, but it doesn't notify them by default. You can still tag someone into the thread for their perspective. Decisions that come out of a conversation can be highlighted so that anyone can find the relevant information without having to read the back-and-forth.

Either way, when there are information workflow problems at an organization, those are usually caused by poorly designed or enforced internal processes, not the tools themselves.

As a Swede, I'm glad this is the case.
Why is that better, specific to this instance?
The most infuriating thing about gmail is how icons with destructive actions appear under my mouse cursor when I move my mouse over it and I'm just trying to click on the email to drill down into the conversation from the inbox. Every, f*cking time i'll just lazy throw my cursor over and just happen to end up in the zone where Archive or Send To Trash is and click it without a chance to react. I despise gmail with a burning passion. Google UX design is a complete joke overall.
> It felt like they thought their workers were stupid

In my opinion, they have spies, moles, agents amongst the workers. I wouldn't be surprised if some of those agents are in important positions, and they could be then now requested to do something stupid.

If they don't have these agents, they could also just approach someone now.

They could offer them something to do something outrageous or negative for the movement. Then, they also control various media outlets where they talk about it in every news segment.

I'm pretty sure there is some serious intelligence operations in the background,why would they leave this to chance?

They haven't made up a new standard. The standard already exists. The "via" is just a way of visualizing this standard.

If you’re a student, you must have heard of spaced repetition. It’s a theory that says you need to review a topic over and over until you know it. When you don’t know it, you space out your review. LearnObit is an app that will help you review faster. It’ll show you what you should know and when you should know it. It has been quite useful for me in learning new stuff. I would recommend at least trying it.

MLM is hugely popular with certain immigrant populations and religions in the US.
Great questions! I've answered them below and am happy to expand if needed.

Who is your target demographic? -

Our target demographic is males between 20 and 50, mostly because that's the value majority of crypto users. A smaller subset of that would be lighter blockchain users, just starting to explore the space.

How is this better than a paper wallet? -

Gridlock is better than a paper wallet because each storage device is not critically important. If your paper wallet is lost, destroyed, or stolen, then you lose everything. With Gridlock, the loss of any single (or even multiple) storage devices does not affect your stored assets. If someone can compromise your storage device, they get nothing unless they can compromise multiple devices...on different platforms...in different parts of the world.

What happens if Gridlock disappears? -

If Gridlock disappears, you will have to collect encryption keys from your storage devices manually. The security of the product remains intact with or without Gridlock. The initial product uses a centralized communication layer because decentralized communication is tough, and we decided to focus on security over the very small chance of a service outage. That said, the move to a decentralized communication layer is on our roadmap. Once complete, the system will be secure and 100% available without Gridlock servers.

Do you have plans for a security audit? -

Yes, do you have suggestions on the best company?

Where's the code? Is this going to be open-sourced? -

Yes, the code will be open-source and available once we release it. We don't want people judging our mess while we are under construction. :)

How are you going to make money? -

The core product will be free for life. We are looking to monetize with premium value-add services as well as commercial use licenses.

Who are your direct or close-enough competitors? -

Argent is a good comparable that provides enhanced security with built-in usability. Unfortunately, they can only support Ethereum+. Trezor does have key sharding capabilities (I use this personally). However, it is very much a recovery-only solution, and it's not very usable (much like the rest of Trezor's model). For example, if you don't have physical access to your Trezor, you can't do anything. This restriction isn't great, and I have a painful recent experience with this in particular. cough SEC and XRP over Christmas cough

Many companies I am familiar with are "agile" in the sense that they work on a new chunk of the waterfall every two weeks; or just justify having NFI what they are doing on the business side by just slow dripping requirements over how much time/money they have.

Arguments over features basically yield to whoever has the most soft power, which is they you see the C suite so invested in the outcome of various features... it's literally theirs.
I have a similar keyboard problem. With relative frequency the focus is stolen from a text input box to the top level. Usually this is just an annoyance, but sometimes it happens right as I'm typing an "m" (which results in me accidentally muting a conversation) or an "e" (which results in me accidentally archiving a conversation).
Recurring revenue is much more stable than license purchases and also less prone to piracy. Adobe's incredibly successful transition (from a share price perspective) is a testament to the value ascribed to recurring revenue models.

In fact, companies that sell services with a recurring revenue component are generally seen as higher margin and more stable across industries. For instance, Aerospace & Defense companies that have a strong "Aftermarket" presence (which really means maintenance, spares, repairs, etc.) generally command higher valuations.

The SaaS hype just takes this to the ultimate level. Digital services have very little costs (relative to their physical counterparts). Recurring digital revenue equates to mind-boggling numbers like Salesforce having >70% gross margins, which is probably the most prominent reason why Tech valuations have skyrocketed in the cloud era
the actual dystopian future is corporates have so much data they have collected for years that they don't know what to do with it.

It's the standard anti union playbook: you're giving up your power to negotiate as an individual! we're a family! you'll have to pay dues now!

The fact is that there is no solid argument against unionization in an industry like warehouse work. Anything the union might do wrong the bosses might do as well, except in the union the worker can vote and influence those decisions.

The reason the arguments are so dumb is that there aren't any downsides to the union vs not having a union. Unions aren't perfect but they're almost always better than not having one
We connected with Tom just as we were getting ready to build webhooks into our product (Kitemaker W21). We had a few teams asking for webhooks but didn’t have much time to dedicate to it right now so we were in the market for something like Diahook.

It ended up taking us one afternoon (this afternoon in fact!) to integrate Diahook. Was super straightforward and Tom was highly responsive.

I hate those auto-playing advertisements at the pump with a perhaps inexplicable passion. The worst is that they often can be muted by pressing one of six unlabeled buttons. As if they knew there would be people who would find the adverts obnoxious and want to mute them, but wanted to ensure that only people so enraged as to take to blindly smashing buttons would find the mute feature before they bashed the screen with the pump handle. Such blatant distain for their customers.
MIDI data can easily be converted into western score notation and vice-versa. You can write a musical score in western notation using MuseScore, export it as a MIDI file, and then import that into Ableton and see it on the piano roll. It's all one big "the map is not the territory" situation. The same piece of music is still the same piece of music whether it's written in staff notation, programmed into a sequencer in some proprietary format, written out in LSDJ code on a GameBoy, drawn in a piano roll, or played from memory by someone who doesn't know how to read any of those.
Create a service that uses the library and then monetize the service?
I've published several book on Amazon KDP, and just want to mention you don't need Latex or markdown or anything complicated. Word works fine. You can pay someone on Fiverr to convert it into the formats you need for $10, or you can go with slightly more expensive services ($60ish) if you want someone to spend some time making it look nice.

This is for straight narratives or non-fiction books. Things with more complex layouts will require more work.
Similarly, K. says much of the work he did inside Unit 8200 is far from the sophisticated spyware that’s so often trumpeted. “Most Israelis think that intelligence is pure and slick,” he says. He came to see IDF intelligence as blunt, dirty work. “Old school things,” he says. Like blackmailing gay Palestinians, he explains. Or threatening to cut off medical care from people with health problems. Or threatening the families of people with health problems. But when it comes to criticism of 8200, K. is an anomaly among his peers. Many are more like Raphael Ouzan — true believers.
Never thought I'd read the "What have you got to hide?" argument on HN of all places.

First of all, you're being disingenious by putting up a strawman argument about "how much milk and eggs you buy." It is never about only milk and eggs. Advertising is only a part of it. Once you have an ID required to shop there, you can easily track who was there. You can follow their movements around the shop with cameras once you've identified them at the register. You can see who was with them. You can use this for your own gains, let's say you are a bank employee or police officer who wants to keep tabs on your spouse. Or maybe you are a politician who wants to run a smear campaign on your opponent.

Also whether we'll have much worse things to worry about doesn't mean everything else before guillotines on the street can be hand-waved away.

I'm certainly not blaming the victim for getting rear ended, but I've noticed that a lot of people brake a lot harder and more suddenly than needed. It's easy to see how that can lead to getting rear ended, even if the other driver is only distracted for a second.

I try to spread my braking over the space I have to do so. Lower braking force over a longer time is much safer. It both gives people more time to react, and if a collision does occur the speed differential is lower, and less damage will occur. This doesn't save you from getting rear ended while stopped, but that's a minority of rear endings from what I have seen.
