We kept an iteration going as long as we saw a reasonable and viable path to keep growing the business.

One of the product was consumer and had a hockey stick growth curve obvious in the first week. So it was obvious to keep going on.

Another product was profitable and we could acquire new customers through advertising. So it was obvious to keep going on.

For the one's that didn't do good, initially I wasted a lot of time doing things which won't meaningfully help with adoption. Some of them are:

1. Building too many features.

2. Building too many platforms at launch.

3. Spending time on PR

4. Figuring out the perfect font for the website.

5. UI polish.

> A Finnish newspaper has uncovered information in the SEC filings for Nokia's sale to Microsoft that show former Nokia CEO Stephen Elop had a huge incentive to unload the company in the form of a $25.5 million US bonus that he would get in the event of a "change of control" in the mobile company.

I typically launder large amounts of money through traditional art purchases. I store these assets at freeports throughout the world. Many of my friends do the same.

As an older, less tech-savvy gentleman, would you recommend NFT Art as a useful way to launder money?

The cut Christie's takes on my 'transactions' is borderline usurious.
Yes, that's true.

Might point was just that a short position in the bond market is not automatically 'betting against the Western financial growth and stability.'

(And, of course, the Western world is bigger than the US.)
Communication theory is far too narrow a subfield.

Physics has a lot to say about this. Physicists have done a lot of information-theoretic analysis of the laws of physics, and physics-theoretic analysis of information theory. Information theory can no longer be disentangled from the physics itself. Meaning, what information processing tasks (including but not limited to communication tasks) are possible and with what complexity depends on the laws of the universe we live in. And conversely, which universes are even possible (those with "reasonable" laws) are constrained by the theorems of information theory.

Snark aside, I guess receptivity to novelty is critical when pivoting. At that point, though, the pivot should be based on data. Creativity is still required, constrained by the data. I believe that's more amenable to being 'engineered' rather than just waiting for the muse to arrive.

> presumably the serpent in the garden

That association never made sense to me. In Genesis, it's pretty clear that we're talking about an actual serpent (which gets punished to crawl in the dirt for its part in the whole affair). Quote: Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made (Genesis 3:3, NIV)

Contrast to Revelation, eg He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:2, NIV). Looks like just a bit of flowery language to me, a paraphrasis of 'dragon', and not necessarily meant as reference to other serpents that make appearances in other biblical stories...

Humanity murdered it's way to choking the planet to death, so I would really contest the claim that killing isn't an essential part of what it means to be human. We're the best, most efficient and most ruthless when it comes to murdering everything else. That's why we are where we are.
Once you set up a basic income, that is given without conditions, productivity is a bonus, not a requirement. Basic resources like food and shelter are quite abundant in our times.

I have no problem with people being productive, but I'm not okay with productive people imposing their productivity on other less productive people, in the form of social filtering, unemployment, elitism, etc.

The last 100 years have seen amazing increase of productivity thanks to technology, not thanks to methods of resource management.

Climate will exacerbate inequalities, and I think productivity doesn't really matter anymore, since a lot of jobs seem wasteful of resources, yet they are still valued for no good reason. Many people who are high earners often have trouble understanding the meaning of what they do, while other in poverty would appreciate being given a fair access to basic resources, without feeling guilty of not being a productive member of society.

It's funny because Milton Friedman advocated for a basic income, or a negative income tax, so it's quite compatible with capitalist values. The problem is not really capitalism per se, it's more how we value the necessity of effort and mutual help. Rejecting the weak doesn't lead to healthy values.

Agreed. It's laughable. Dave Chappelle even parodied a similar concept (The Love Contract) on Chappelle's Show.

On the licensing page of Open Project 'agile boards' is one of the paid features, so I don't see how it is relevant in this case.

Screenshots look good and it is nice to see that they have figured out a good business model for open source software.

But I don't like to see that 2FA is available only in the paid version still in 2021. Security should be at the core of these kinds of systems.

And I hope that maintaining it is much easier than other Ruby projects that I have encountered in the past. For example, I used to run Redmine project management system, and maintaining it up to date was painful due to fragmentation and differences between Ruby versions. Hopefully Docker and better migration scripts have solved those problems nowadays. Still, even with containerization available, when it comes to self hosted solutions I definitely prefer ones that get compiled to nice binaries. Go, Rust, C, etc.

Don't over think. Just start building anything that you feel could be useful to someone.

Don't fall in love with the idea. The idea you start with will never be the idea when you are successful. It will evolve or likely you will pivot to another related idea. Facebook today isn't what it started with. Flickr and Slack started as gaming companies. Google today is very different from what they started with.

It would help if you pick a good space. Ideally something which you know about, is big enough that there would be enough users.

And make sure you enjoy the process of going for it. If you set out with a sole goal to get rich and get famous, it can be very demotivating when things are not going your way.

Finding the time needed to get to the level of this project is more than I have available sadly.

PCR?! Isn’t that the kind of test that can only detect active COVID.

I’d like to think that antibody test would be the one to use as it can determine whether or not a person has ever contracted COVID. Plus antibody has lower false positive and lower false negative than PCR.

Just a bit unclear as to why one would make a statistical case using short-ranged (short-insight) PCR that could have missed the ones who have already had been infected but recovered and then go on to get reinfected (whitepaper’s missed data points).

Oh wait, a case of FREE (short-insight) PCR tests provided by Dutch government. Never mind.

I think is a fair comment. The people involved probably wouldn't give the steam off their coffee to the someone struggling right in front of them.
I'm not counting those, I'm counting vacation time. Lets say you get X vacation days right now, this means that you get X/5 weeks off. If the workweek becomes 4 days, while you're still getting X vacation days, the number of weeks off you get is now X/4. This is relevant because vacation time is almost always taken in multiples of week-long periods (ie. "Next year I'll be taking 3 weeks off in August, one in December, one in January and one in June").

He was originally supported in the coup because his uncle (the then dictator) was exterminating Spaniards (and Guineans as well).

Since then, trade between Spain and EG is nothing to write home about, with Spain only being third to US and China as trading partners, and EQ's exports are a drop in the ocean of the Spanish economy. Investment from either country in the other is residual (<10 million euros). [0]

Also Obiang regularly blames Spain for funding/supporting oppositors, notably during the coup attempt in 2004[1], which is probably true[2]. Most of the time these oppositors also have Spanish citizenship.

So, in what sense is he supported by Spain, and how is it a colony?

It isn't more admirable to analyse things while denying part of what makes you human. We should look at Spartans (and everything else), from every angle: Emotional, logical, etc. Denying parts of what we are is why the world is as fucked as it is.

This isn't a serious proposal. It is just a "thought bubble" that the NSW Police Commissioner shared with the media. I reckon he regrets making the suggestion. It appears that nobody thinks it is a good idea except for him.

And maybe he's learnt the hard way: nothing wrong with brainstorming and coming up with new ideas, but media interviews are not the right context to do that in.
I would be curious to know more about the several devices that were planned to be on Meego but then shipped with Symbian!

All said, I am not sure that polishing and marketing would have been enough to save the situation.

So, a new era of abstinence is ahead of us. There is simply no other way for anyone to feel safe than to simply abstain.

Personally I'm okay with this, but I know a lot of teenagers who grew up thinking sex is an important facet of their identity who will disagree...

Frankly, though, I think a more conservative society which treats sex with a lot more respect than the current shit-show, is definitely in order.

People seem to say it’s not good art/drawing/rendering, I personally love that kind of punk-ish style. I grew up reading all the graphic novels I could find during the 90s and early 2000s, with a lot of punk-inspired themes, and that’s the same vibe I see here. It’s gross, dark, morbid, cringy, ugly, trashy, and unnecessarily provocative. That’s not for everybody but some of us like that type of stuff.

> In Genesis, it's pretty clear that we're talking about an actual serpent

I’m not sure it is clear. If we are talking about an actual serpent, it’s only in the sense that there’s a familiar “just so”-type story which provides the framework for a cosmic, theological story overlayed on top of it (“how the serpent lost his legs”). But a common reading of it is that the garden in Eden is a “home of the gods” — a mountaintop garden, populated by Yahweh, the snake, and Adam and Eve without their “garments of skin”, and possibly others (the mysterious “they will be like us”). So in this reading, the serpent would be one of the gods/sons of God/divine council. His “being made to crawl in the dirt”, as you put it, would then be a condemnation to live a terrestrial existence, “going to and fro on the earth, and ... walking back and forth on it”.
They = community of people. Are you assuming that none know each other and there is no personal communication among them? Because that's not the case.

I wouldn't say "every way", but the lack of multi-touch was sometimes an advantage. I loved the swirl-to-zoom gesture on the N900, pinch-to-zoom on multi-touch screens always feels clunky in comparison. If I wanted to zoom in or out on the N900, I just used the thumb that was already hovering over the screen, of the hand holding a phone. Pinching to zoom needs two hands, one to hold the phone, the other to perform the gesture.

Part of being human and interacting with other humans is a certain level of uncertainty. To a lot of people, uncertainty is fundamentally scary and unacceptable. They look at other people (and to some extent themselves) and hate what they see there. Then they try to deny that essential nature through exerting more and more control over what they see.

Fundamentally, I think it is indicative of a failing in modern society. These folks have somehow managed to grow up to hate their emotions and those of other people, and now spend a large part of their life trying to murder them whenever they see them. It's immature and destructive and we owe it to each other to do better.

Downloaded it, tried it to build some C++ code, with a few requirements. It has to work with C++17 style code to use on an existing codebase. It should use clang + llvm instead of g++. I want to use the clangd language server (or ccls) with eclipse, probably via a plugin.

Even something this fundamental took me a fair bit of searching through forums and is turning out to be a hot mess.

With Xcode, IntelliJ and CLion, and heck even VSCode, things just work for me. Key bindings make sense. Common options are available and where you'd expect them to be. There's actual "flow" in my workflow instead of having to battle with the tools.

The conclusion relies on the accuracy of the tests. But what if these tests had a 0.5% false-positive rate? This would explain the cases that seemingly do not develop immunity.

The authors' analysis mentions a 0.02% false-positive rate. However, there are those that estimate that the real-world number (for the UK, at least) is unknown and could be between 0.8-4.0% : https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lanres/article/PIIS2213-2...
