Possibly stating the obvious, but make sure all your access points are on different wifi channels.

Also I know Unifi have a minimum RSSI setting that kicks off clients to a better AP when signal strength gets low. Maybe OpenWRT has a similar setting although all I found after a quick search for OpenWRT RSSI settings was this thread:

AMP pages no longer get preferential treatment explicitly, but I'm guessing time-to-load is still a signal that is used by the algorithm.

I wonder if they have hard guidelines? Something like "your page should load and render in 1000 ms" on a broadband connection.

One of the things that has consistently shocked me as I've gotten older is how hard some companies make it for people to actually give them money! I'm like, "Hey - I'm waving these hundred dollar bills here for you to take in exchange for your product." And they're like, "Meh.."

I have some good news, and some bad news. The good news is that your fierceness will be a great help in solving difficult problems. And not just the kind of scientific and technical problems that nerds have traditionally solved. As the world progresses, the number of things you can win at by getting the right answer increases. Recently getting rich became one of them: 7 of the 8 richest people in America are now fierce nerds.

starting one of the 10 most successful businesses of the past 2-4 decades business vs solving a problem are not the same thing though. Problem solvers on average do not make that much money. Look at all the problems solved everyday on stack overflow/exchange. How many of those ppl are making lots of money. Same for freelancing sites. The rates are pretty low. making money means a lot to PG, but it's a separate type of skill than solving problems. It is something that is probably harder in many respects because it requires not only solving problems but making money from it, which means competition and other aspects of business.
When I have worked at a big corp and have integrated with a third-party API, there has always been an 'engagement' with the enterprise company's Professional Services/Sales Engineers/??? about a contract and SLA for use of the API. This might get your foot in the door. If you can bring $$$ to the table, that's another helpful approach, even if it's a token offering - $10/mo or whatever at least tells them that you're serious.
Filling my Mondeo tank costs me about 70+€. Recharging a Tesla at home costs 1 or 2€.

The record is not the autonomy by itself, but is about getting the same autonomy for 35-70x less money and potentially 0Co2e emission.
The Leaf doesn't have active cooling. From what I understand, charging up to 80% instead of full except on long trips prevents any thermal issues. I've got a 230 mile range, so 80% is not an issue for me for daily driving. I will say that the max capacity meter hasn't yet gone below 1.0 after nearly 2 years.

Every Nissan dealership around me has free Leaf-only supercharging, and there's also a few superchargers around the Twin Cities that just cost the price of parking (e.g. ~$1/h). Other than that, every Goodwill has a supercharger that costs some actually metered amount of money.
I think after the dotcom craze, it stopped being "edgy" or "different" to be passionate/ambitious about technology. If anything, it's the most straightforward thing to pursue ideas or business interests with these days, especially if you have a "fierce" personality.
Beyond the missing expensive infrastructure, the big problem is energy efficiency. Moving forward, we have to switch every energy production to renewables. But for the same amount of electric energy produced, an electric car gets about 3x the mileage than producing "green" hydrogen and powering fuel cell cars with it. Hydrogen means at least 3x the electricity cost and for many years to come, we are going to struggle producing enough clean electricity in the first place.

Also the infrastructure for electricity basically is there, mostly needed are plain outlets at all long-term parking spots. And of course, one can charge an electric car from your own solar.

Typically, api is charged based on usage, which means you use the api first, then you pay.

It’s likely that some users sign up, use the api, and never pay, e.g., use a debit card with low balance.

Turn the table. If you were running such an api, what would you do to avoid situations like this?

I operate a podcast api business [1]. Initially we allowed anyone to sign up. Then we got tons of malicious users who abused the api and never paid us. Then we have to manually review every signups.

It was not a sarcastic comment. I checked the release notes and found nothing about it. It's true that i haven't checked the development of BSDs lately. I remember just that only Dragonfly had a working SMP kernel, with FreeBSD strugling and OpenBSD just ignoring this issue. But this was around 8 years ago.

Not while economic power and politics are controlled by the same generation and social networks.

Those who were raised on censored television and waving “the correct flag” went too many times around the sun like that to be able to reconsider themselves as anything but completely appropriate.

I'm saying the sectarian violence, including massacres and ethnic cleansing, on both sides, were caused by the mass Jewish migration, Zionist pretentions and ambitions, British policy in Palestine, among others.

"Buying land" is a drastic simplification. When an ethnic group moves en masse to a location inhabited mostly by another ethnic group, and claim the generic land around for their own religious and ethnic group, how can that not cause problems ? Why would the majority ethnic group in the location sit idly by while they get replaced? Especially when the colonial power in charge promises them independence, and also to give their homeland to the other ethnic group, and encourages their migration there?
I heavily disagree. Any fierce nerd ive known all know they are VERY good at what they do (in terms of some intellectual persuit) and know how to assert themselves
I suppose it depends on how you view Amazon. They are a (primarily streaming) content distributor although they're also a (primarily TV) studio. It's a reasonable argument that a distributor acquiring a large back catalog of film IP is a vertical merger. Although to the welfare-improving point, giving that back catalog a straightforward route to consumers is not necessarily a bad thing.
Yes, but at least in the case of Standard Oil, that was a monopoly which was definitively anti-consumer, because it was actually monopolizing an entire specific industry.
Interesting product.

I can't help but wonder about the aluminium packaging bit -- another company I buy (an unrelated product) from has recently switched to using it, and I wouldn't say it was an improvement. Is it even better for the environment? From what I understand it's extremely energy intensive to smelt aluminium, and even if done in places with lots of renewable energy (Iceland), it still has to be transported afterwards (and it's probably going to take up more shipping volume).

The only other thing I can think of is that Apple's marketing may have made people think aluminium is 'better', but I don't know whether or how much this carries over to stuff like packaging.

For a similar theme, one might want to look into the recent efforts in some European countries to introduce a deposit for plastic bottles -- even though both the economic and the environmental emission calculations show that it doesn't make sense (last mile transportation of empty bottles is a disaster from environmental perspective, not to mention their nonexistent reusability).
I think half measures can hurt more than they benefit, due to it being used politically as an excuse to not address the root issue by claiming it was already addressed.

The root issue here is excessive copyright terms. Those are the source of the monopoly. We already solved the distribution problem with the internet, now it’s a political issue of reducing copyright lengths. Any other solution will be used by politicians as an excuse to show they did something, or that nothing more needs to be done.

Who cares who buys what once the content is in the public domain. It is a cleaner, resilient, and quicker solution.

Also, it seems unfair that government would be able to dictate what Amazon can and cannot do with its content, but not others, so that is another political fight that can waste time and energy.

There hasn't been any name calling, this is all a diversion to avoid backing up the initial claims you made.
Loved the BeOS theme!
Ok so go to the Model Y which is slightly heavier (Actually closer to the Nexo) and the worse aerodynamics than the Model 3 should have minimal effect if hypermiling at low speed, which also helps the Nexo vs Model 3.

Model Y will blow the doors off the Nexo in performance due to much larger electric motors.

I'm a big fan of 1Password. I've been paying for it for years. A few years ago I got my partner setup in a few minutes and now they have strong passwords everywhere. Its got great features for sharing vaults with other people so I've got password managers setup for the kids too. My partner and I both have personal vaults, we have a shared vault for financial stuff, and a shared vault for our media accounts (that we share with the kids too)

I get that people bristle about SaaS subscriptions in their personal life but the $60/year it costs is well worth it. The research shows that strong passwords and limiting re-use is extremely effective at preventing account compromises and 1Password makes this dead simple.

The thing that finally made it an incredible app was when Apple finally allowed 3rd party password management in iOS.

Yes there might be better password managers out there and they might have better security. However show me an alternative with a UX that is simple enough for my 6 year old to use, that works on iOS, Android, MacOS, and now Linux.
1Password works so much better for me than KeepassXC, especially in Firefox auto fill. But so did Bitwarden. Both are great options.

No, but this is an excellent reason why healthcare should never be tied to your employment. This is not an uncommon occurance, at all.

10% of the general population can theoretically benefit from an orphan drug. In America an orphan drug costs hundreds of thousands of dollars per year to millions of dollars per year, and it is very frequently needed for the rest of the individual's life.

> But if there's just a 10 second warmup penalty on x86 the compile time might only be 60 minutes + 10 seconds.

But that doesn't make any sense, as I previously asserted. That's just not how any of this works. x86 is not suffering a "penalty". It doesn't need time to "warmup". I already discussed my views (based on actual real world experience) on all of this, but you conveniently bypassed those statements.

> This statement speaks volumes about your bias. You're immediately on the defensive and assuming we're attacking the M1 rather than the assumptions made in a test and it's methodology.

It really doesn't speak volumes. The default position I've seen is for people to assume that new technology is just a gimmick, and that results are only being cherry picked. And that's exactly what you just said you were assuming ("the truth is probably somewhere in between"), so I was right to reach that conclusion. No one here (that I've seen) is claiming the M1 is the unequivocal performance champion in all things, but it does really well in some use cases that impress me as a developer.

If it's really just about test methodology, you would just look up other tests, or run your own. Putting out completely unfounded statements like "what if there's a fixed 10 second ding on x86?" doesn't move the conversation forward when the hardware and results are so readily available. It's just a way of attempting to cast doubt on results. There's little need for speculation at this point, but you continue to speculate in defense of your previous comment without apparently having any hands on experience with M1.

Sure it does. Just look at Tesla, at the time EVs had 24kwh or smaller batteries and they more than doubled that to give reasonable ranges.
Email scammers have been A/B testing their pitches for a long time now. The evidence is clear: dumbing down the pitch is far more effective than attempting to capture more sophisticated users.
So what would the modern generation call somebody like this:

In 9th grade insists "I don't see the point of these classes I'm going to be a programmer," takes AP comp sci as sophmore finds it insultingly easy [gets in trouble for going ahead of teacher], resents homework vocally and refuses to do it on principle but still gets great scores on tests, places in the school math competition but initially gets kicked out of the award ceremony for refusing for the "National Honor Society" performance, 12-grade gets official permission to work half-time coding and only take half classes.

That's what I was, and I don't think anybody else has ever given me a word for it. I knew pedantic nerds, and intense nerds, and condescending nerds, but few with real conviction.
Really makes you wonder what other statements there are outright false. Prior to Apple's own ARM chips iPhones used Samsung processors.

Interestingly though, Intel did at once point make very nice mobile CPUs (notably the XScale PXA270, which clocked in at a little over 500 MHz and had a halfway decent PowerVR graphics accelerator).

Do they? I mean one of the define characteristics is an overconfidence in themselves.

I think PG is trying to justify some kind of assholish behaviour in his past by reframing it as a virtue.

Really, I think the “fierceness” is incidental. Do immensely successful people need to be somewhat competitive? Sure. Do they have to interrupt everyone, lack social awareness, etc? Probably not.

Hey, thanks for responding! I know it would take me some more weekends than that! :) Have you documented the process somewhere in greater detail perhaps? I'm working on something relatable on my weekends, also involving PCB design and enclosure design/printing (albeit on a more amateurish level of course), so I'm very curious about other people's experiences.
This hasn't happened yet, so the title is misleading/clickbait. Also the notion that Google will (allegedly) no longer prefer AMP pages is old news.
I’m a founder/engineer and never found sales to be easy, which is the full extent of my qualifications.

After many years of struggling, I finally came to the realization that sales is simply not a systematic, “system-building” activity in the same way as engineering, and that sales gurus try to make their jobs look more like ours because ... well... they’re good at selling! They’ve figured out that we associate a certain vocabulary (e.g. “process”, “data” ...) with rigor and reliability.

Once you stop seeing sales as a system whose laws you study and turn to your advantage, you come to the underwhelming realization that sales is field work. It’s operational. There is no big trick, only small ones.

With that in mind:

- have you tried going to climbing gyms and showing people your product?

- are there big events or conferences for climbers? (Yes, I know COVID is a factor, here.)

- have you tried calling a bunch of rock climbing gyms and asking what it would take to sell your product at the front desk?

The short story is that sales is costly in time, and you kind of have to live with that until you build a distribution network. Pick up the phone, or better yet, go in person. The good news is that you don’t have to be selling per se. Just go places and ask for help.

P.S. - a few additional thoughts come to mind.

1. I think social media can actually work for niche consumer products like this. Go to your gym, have people try your product, and ask them how they like it. Video tape it and stick it on YouTube. Take pictures of people doing cool stuff, slap your logo on it and put it on Instagram. This is how you start branding. Baby steps.

2. Give out samples at a competition and include “technical” documentation about how and when to use your product. This will pique everyone’s curiosity. Everybody wants to be knowledgeable about their equipment and nobody wants to look clueless. People will read it and remember the brand if only to justify why they use something else. How do you think I know about Rust?

Again: it’s operational work. You spend a lot of time doing. It’s not like programming where you solve problems once and they’re gone forever. No sales library, I’m afraid :)

re: outrage at Israel and not at Syria, etc.:

1. Israeli bombings, unlike actions in Syria and Yemen, are directly funded by the United States, which makes them a highly relevant issue for Americans and for people concerned with America's role in geopolitics.

2. Visibility. Israel is given extreme favor in US political circles, but that ironically works against it in this case. Their struggles are highly visible, but as a result, so is their aggression.

3. We're working on it. International solidarity protests have seen a dramatic rise in recent years, but we can only learn so quickly.
