Getting a head start when building a SaaS with this AppSumo deal
Serverless SaaS is a React boilerplate for building SaaS apps. It offers a lot of features out of the box, like authentication, teams & billing using Stripe.

It now has a great deal on AppSumo so if you are interested you can save a bunch of money.

Not sure if this counts or not. I've got a friend who bought ETH which went up, borrows USDC against it which then swap for fiat money, which he's then investing in a music/bar business. Similar to buy a house, it goes up, mortgage it to invest in business.

This kind of post that provides no context will lead to cargo-cult, with people blindly copying and pasting these directives, and believing they have increased the privacy of their site...

If your web site does not include ads, FLoC is already disabled. Here, "ads" mean ads that EasyList can detect. This HTTP header will just make your config more complex and your responses slightly bigger, with no change of behaviour.

If you include external ads on your pages, then I doubt disabling FLoC will increase your visitors' privacy, but at least this header will have a real effect.
Yeah especially since Wayfair is a publicly traded company

After reading many comments, I wonder why more people aren't looking into Space X's Starlink. Broadband speeds, no wired infrastructure, portable, no caps and $100/mo. It seems to be about $30 more/mo than most here are paying, but their broadband is tied to a physical location and not easily movable. Soon it will be mobile, as in dish corrects itself in realtime while driving a motorhome [1], etc. You can take them out in the middle of nowhere, as long as you don't leave your region, like I did 2 weeks ago as a test in the Willamette National Forest in Oregon, 20 miles out on a logging road. Didn't even get 1 bar of cell service, but was watching movies on Netflix in 4k and even played a bit of COD. You can change your region with Starlink, but it takes a day or two as you have to call and tell them the "new address." It's all manual. They are working on a way to automate those requests via the web so they take minutes to change instead of hours or days, and when mobile comes out you probably won't need to do that either.

Laying fiber is expensive, and the more rural you go the more expensive it gets.
Lie? No Apple was fully aware of the power usage profiles of their devices and the power delivery profiles of their batteries and how those degrade over time.

Apple chose, for a variety of reasons (cost savings, weight, size) to use a capacitor and battery combination that as the battery degraded with use over time would not be able to meet the instantaneous power delivery requirements of the phones and result in unreliable behavior.

Instead of admitting their mistake and offering to replace peoples batteries or refund them or some other reasonable solution. They instead decided to sneak in a performance throttling software change to try and mitigate their design mistakes.

I don't consider that "valid reasons".

When I had a small scale business Google was difficult to work with. Practically impossible to start advertising for amounts around a couple of hundreds of dollars a month. The support organization even gave advises for the wrong services.

I still own some apps that Google Play removed because they don't fit some "programs". The thing is that the apps never opted in on those "programs".

For companies I work with that spend 1 000 000+ Euros monthly on Google services it is the opposite way around. Staff from Google more or less are fixing everything, even setting up Google Analytics reports and so on.

Google will be the tell when it is time to sell all these insanely overrated stocks that we all own.
Seriously. Maybe if it had a more clickbaity headline like, "Basecamp insiders reveal a culture of contempt for customers" it would get traction.

And all this from a management team that's published how many books on their deep people management insights?'

This bit in particular:

Employees took a different view. In a response to Hansson’s post, one employee noted that the way we treat names — especially foreign names — is deeply connected to social and racial hierarchies. Just a few weeks earlier, eight people had been killed in a shooting spree in Atlanta. Six of the victims were women of Asian descent, and their names had sometimes been mangled in press reports. (The Asian American Journalists Association responded by issuing a pronunciation guide.) The point was that dehumanizing behavior begins with very small actions, and it did not seem like too much to ask Basecamp’s founders to acknowledge that.

Hansson’s response to this employee took aback many of the workers I spoke with. He dug through old chat logs to find a time when the employee in question participated in a discussion about a customer with a funny-sounding name. Hansson posted the message — visible to the entire company — and dismissed the substance of the employee’s complaint.

Strikes me as extremely unprofessional, childish, and really just downright embarrassing for him, for Basecamp, for Basecamp's customers who now have to have their own internal discussions about whether or not their vendor ESG standards are being met, and for the employees whose personal reputations are for better or worse now associated with this PR disaster. It's truly astonishing what a series of poor choices were made (assuming, of course, that this particular piece is faithfully telling the story).
Telekom is utilizing the German law system and companies in the USA are doing the same.

The "good" answer for why terms of use and contracts are written more complexly is because they encode more complex information, that is less subject to varying interpretations.

Though certainly there is a 'pattern' to these that I think lawyers just fall back into that can be less understandable than needed.

If nothing else, many contracts are written in a somewhat weird frame, where one party is referred to in third person, and the other in second person. And often phrasing is so that the second person needs to recognize a claim of the third person ("you acknowledge etc etc").

In many ways, contracts are like the ultimate reversal of YAGNI. Imagine deploying code that you literally could not fix after release, and you knew that nearly all deviations from intended behavior would just kick you in the butt. Your code (and general product function) would probably get a bit weird too.
Again, the patent system is mentioned in the constitution. It's not "postmodern". You may not agree with the system (I certainly don't), but "postmodern" is the not correct movement to associate it with
lol. I rarely test my code, but when I do, I test it on prod.
Currently, yes, that is the dynamic. They take special pride in not accepting money from corporations, lobbyists, big real estate, etc and the politician to lobbyist to consultant pipeline is the main center of corruption in the country today. For example, Jim Crowley is now a highly paid consultant for Squier Patton Boggs.

In other times and places that may not have been the case but right now, the far left is noticeably less corrupt than the center or the right.
Eh, if IP wasn't a thing we could still make money in almost the exact same way via contract law.
Hmm what about Murdoch in News TV?
Zoom out a bit, maybe look at 1602 to the present and ask, "What can and can't be property, who decides what is and isn't property, am I ok with this, and why am I ok with this?" What are the second and third order effects that result from first principles here?
Don't overestimate government coders skills...

Often it's a massive team with people of very varied programming skills. The core exploit might be some super high tech, hand coded in assembly rootkit, but then the remote control stuff might ends up being some badly written powershell script or multi-megabyte dot-net, java or python binary pulling in every library under the sun.
I'd love a new C-inspired language (no, Rust is C++-inspired) made from a pragmatic developer like Torvalds. Zig comes very close IMO, but it's still too unstable to be under Linus' radar.
Honestly, it seems like every task I pick up at work.

Either I don't have the access, or the existing project wasn't configured/completed correctly, or an automated software install blew away my workstation environment variables, or a tool is down, or the business changed their mind, etc, etc.
We run our SaaS on Digital Ocean's backend and their TOS says that anything we allow onto their boxes has to comply, so that means our customers have to comply with DO's TOS.

To handle this, we link to theirs in place of a custom one.
The key words for me in all you wrote are "from what we know".

What I know is that the Mayans who still live there say our archaeologists here tend to ignore them. Two Mayan Park Rangers told me that while I was standing on top of a pyramid enjoying the refreshing breeze up there on a vicious hot and humid day.

One of the things I noticed in all those places (Cahokia, Belize, Guatemala, Mexico) is that refreshing breeze and I mentioned that to those Mayan Park Rangers because it occurred to me after visiting many sites there that maybe those structures were built to provide a place to cool down from working in the fields below and they were both astonished. They instantly changed their attitude and started talking to me. They confirmed that is why they were built and went on to say that the archaeologists who come there are completely dismissive and arrogant and don't ever talk to them to try and learn from them. That's what they told me. You can do what you will with it.

Finally, what those Park Rangers at Cahokia said was boilerplate legalese. It was not a conversation I had with them. They refused to converse because they are instructed to not even discuss it.

Go there and test it yourself.

Xkcd has a good fact check on this: it's just about plausible that some Polynesian or Antarctic explorer, the last survivor of a doomed expedition, was the furthest from any other human. But more likely it is the CSM commanders.

I note you say "other life" rather than "other humans", which would make it more clear cut in favour of Collins if we don't count whatever microorganisms travelled in Collins' gut and on every surface of Apollo.

No they do not.

Accenture's Public Sector ("government contracts") business is less than 20%.*

It's probably fair to say most "outside" candidates would be less corrupt than someone entrenched in the existing political structure. But also anecdotally, in the US the more moderate liberal part of the left doesn't care much about corruption, but the farther left socialist part does a lot because they see it as a roadblock to gaining power. Anyone currently in power wouldn't be as concerned about corruption because they actively benefit from it
Maybe there is something wrong with me but I cannot spot any differences among the 5 fonts displayed.
I think Jamie is going for the old social short to hedge the financial long.

Although for a billionaire like him the loss of social reputation if he's wrong might hurt more than say some extra 100M if his long financial bet on BTC turns out to be right.
Part of the reason people are very excited by municipal broadband is the ownership part. No giant corporate entity standing between you and your internet connection.

The connection being mobile is nice but it's not something I require from my broadband connection, I already have a cellphone. And I live in an apartment building where installing a dish will be all but impossible.

Don't get me wrong, Starlink is amazing tech and in rural areas it'll be a huge deal. But in reasonably sized towns and cities a wired, locally owned internet connection is also huge.

A pure compression structure is a pool of liquid. If you add some shear strength, so the structure can withstand compression and shear but no tension, you can additionally build a heap of sand or a pyramid with no internal voids. To build a vertical wall, much less an arch or vault or nonuniformly-drying adobe†, your material needs to withstand some tension—a property you only really come to appreciate after attempting to build or plaster with adobe containing too little clay or too little straw‡, then watching the structure crumble as it dries.

It's common to analyze masonry structures as "pure compression structures", but that's a useful simplification permitted by considering the bricks to be atomic units. The tensile stress trying to peel the bottom surface off a brick arch is small, but it's real, and if not resisted by the tensile strength of the brick, the arch collapses from the inside out, like the sand arches that sometimes form above an aperture in a moving-sand-picture desk toy. Fired-clay bricks have enough tensile strength that we don't have to think about this, but adobe is just at the limit where safe and reliable building is possible with enough care. For this reason, traditional adobe walls are very strictly vertical, but their surfaces are not; they are significantly thinner at the top than at the base.

(I'm not an architect or structural engineer, but I spent much of my childhood in adobe structures, I've taken a few adobe-construction classes, and in the process I've built a few adobe structures that are still standing.)

______

† Nonuniformly-drying adobe is not a particular type of adobe. It's the nature of the drying process that, during drying, the surface of the brick or wall is dryer than the core—it's precisely that moisture gradient that causes moisture to diffuse out of the core, thus allowing the core to dry. But that same moisture gradient sets up a tensile stress in the surface, which you can diminish but not eliminate by adjusting the adobe mix. Even portland-cement concrete does this, though to a smaller extent.

‡ Straw or other high-performance, fibre-reinforced stabilising agents, of course.

There's a difference between Microsoft or Google or Symantec coming out and saying 'this was NK malware' and the CIA or NSA or FBI saying 'this was NK malware' - people would be more inclined to believe the former rather then the later, even though we would still have to imagine that it's possible they are saying this because of CIA/FBI/NSA influence.

Likewise, Kaspersky is more believable than if the FSB came out with this story, even if we must be cautious that it could be an FSB story.

I've found that I almost never get the rates I pay for with Comcast. I'm currently on their 600/35 plan, and I'm lucky to get 200 down and 15 up. So even if Comcast were to roll out "gigabit" everywhere, it would likely be very inferior to municipal fiber.
I think you might be looking for the word "ludonarrative dissonance"

"Ludonarrative dissonance is the conflict between a video game's narrative told through the story and the narrative told through the gameplay."

examples:

- Cyberpunk 2077 - Your character is dying of a virus and needs to quickly find a cure. Meanwhile youre doing a whole bunch of side quests that take a lot of in game time.

- Any RPG - Characters can be endlessly revived using items but die permanently in cut scenes.

- GTA4 - Main character is trying to leave their violent past behind them. Meanwhile you can blow people up with an rpg.
I saw a captcha when I clicked on it, so this is not always true.
Government intervention is only needed to settle disputes. Governments are already constantly intervening by barring isps other than eg Comcast from building. That government intervention has to stop. Government enacted monopolies are what caused the problem in the first place. Yes government has to act to stop it, but probably at the state level.
So a site like youneedabudget would not be useful either to you?
3. Lawyers are incentivized to write incompehensibly because it helps keep them in business.

> human evolution (and survival) matters only until 14-40

I just don't think that's true. I think grand parents being around was important for human survival.

If it wasn't, if all that mattered was having the most kids, then why would women go through menopause? Wouldn't it be better if women continued having children until they die?

I think it makes sense that young people have kids (the sooner the better, faster evolution and less chance of DNA degradation)

Then they should live as long as possible to help raise their grandkids to ensure their genes survive.

Everything Old Is New Part 2: Why Online Anonymity Matters
Exactly this.

I was at a "company retreat" back when I was in IT consulting. It was mostly the top salespeople for that year so I, being on the delivery side of things, found myself in a strange world. After some drinking one of the salespeople started talking about a project that went 2 months past the deadline. I asked "...and they just paid for that extra time?"

Everyone got all awkward as I realized that not only did they pay for that, they would continue to pay us to go over deadline. I was the naive one. It's just one of those topics you don't talk about.

Everyone is saying you should quit, which might be a reasonable suggestion, but it sounds like your issue is with working remotely. It sounds like you are able to be very productive and get satisfaction from your work when you can come into the office. If you don't want to quit, you could alternatively demand that they let you work from the office or relax development security. If they realize that saying "no" means jeopardizing the project, you might have some leverage.

Are you sure you did not mean "Japanese kanji and kana", or "Japanese hiragana and katakana"?

Also on the Chinese family are Khitan large and small script, and the Jurchen large and small script, where some of the characters seem to be phonograms grouped in syllabic blocks as in Korean Hangul!

Is It Ethical to Buy Breached Data?
Yeah I 100% agree that the tooling is not there outside of macOS.

That being said, it started as geared towards iOS/macOS & even so there have been decent cross platform wins (linux compiler support is pretty solid, SPM).

I hope that as the language matures the language features that have been the priority on the roadmap (async/await, generics, memory management) will give way to more cross platform tooling.

Reading another article in this series, "Can You Boil an Egg Too Long?" [1] really made me smile. Apparently no one knows exactly what happens if you boil an egg for multiple months or years. This seems such a trivial thing compared to all the other stuff humans have discovered. On the other hand this also means almost anyone can expand the limits of human knowledge: you just need an egg, a reliable source of heat and water, and lots of patience. Granted, the knowledge gained may not change the world, but you will still be the first who is in possession of that knowledge!
