Will Slack actually outdo your in house solution though?

If you have a service (Slack alternative or otherwise) locally hosted, you're cutting out a whole bunch of failure modes:

1. Upgrades/maintenance at inopportune times (you can control this, or not even upgrade at all if you don't need it)
2. Networking issues, if you can colocate with with upstream or downstream dependencies
3. Many scaling issues (disk fills up, etc) since you're only serving your own needs and you're not trying to put as many users in as little capacity as possible
4. Relatedly, abusive use by other users won't effect you.
5. You can keep the service off the public internet and avoid things like DDOS attacks

It's nice to do able to blame someone else, I get, but that seems kind of gross, and actually being able to provide the best service overall is what I'd go for.
XM3, my understanding is that the noise cancelling performance is similar to the XM4.

Can you say anything about potential applications? What do you think will be the killer app for this?
Yeah I’d known about peak/off-peak, but it always seemed odd that there was such a wide range and that there were so many differently priced tickets within that range and I never knew the formula. An even longer journey I take here (Brno-Prague) seems to always be either 205kč or 245kč (£7-8.50).

I know British rail travel is more expensive, it’s the (to me) unpredictable ticket pricing that I would like to decrypt
Fyne Calculator v1.0.0 has been released
I am happy to announce the 1.0.0 release of Fyne Calc. Pre-built binaries are available for FreeBSD, macOS, Linux (amd64, arm64) and Windows (amd64). Mobile builds will be up on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store as soon as they are accepted.
Splendid, this sounds exactly like what we need in our channel. Is there a specific project page/Github issue/… I can keep an eye on, so that I know when this functionality is deployed?
Yes, it's interesting how so many people are now willing to just "do crime" because crypto. Certainly speculate about doing crime. At the end of the day, if you're willing to commit crime there's a lot of options.
Nation states will never give up the ability to print money, and fiat will always exist.

But a deflationary asset has utility, and ironically central banks will want to hold it as a reserve asset. They'll just be the last ones to do so.
I'm fairly sure holistio means doing a long division using pen and paper, or even off the top of their head.

Take a look at a 25-year chart of corporate profits[0]. While there was a dip in 2020 due to the pandemic, corporate profits are otherwise at an all-time high. There's no need to pass on higher costs to consumer, companies could accept, say, 2010-level profits instead. Or even 2000-level profits, and really boost wages!

There are undoubtedly some companies operating at very low margins, but by and large, there has been a dramatic increase in profit-taking by companies, without corresponding increases in wages.

It's a tradeoff. Given that you have a staging environment that behaves like production, you want dev to be the fastest environment as possible, so that you can iterate quickly to develop features and fix bugs, and validate them later on staging.
Of course, the closer you are to prod the better, but when you have to chose for dev between speed vs reliability and the difference is high, speed is better (higher morale, more features deployed, the occasional bugs related to the different environments that were not catched by staging (why? need one more test) can be quickly fixed - most of the time)
> The actual therapy is a long mRNA encoding the sequence of the base editor (with all the appropriate modifications to make it express well – this is very much like making an mRNA vaccine, just with a very different payload. The mRNA vaccines just make an antigen protein, but this one will of course produce a functional enzyme that is itself capable of modifying DNA. That mRNA and the guide mRNA (to tell the newly produced enzyme where to go) are encapsulated in a lipid nanoparticle formulation (again, similar to the vaccines and the existing RNAi therapies).

This is mind blowing stuff. I wish our best and brightest put their mind on this rather than working on online ads
Founder Stories: Overcoming gender and race bias when fundraising
As far as I know it is cash. If I write a check to ABC construction for $15,000, that is not reportable as it is already traceable.
Same, when I hold a thumb key my right hand turns into the numpad and my left hand is on a set of arrow keys, where s, d, f correspond to <-, \/, ->, and a, q, caps, tab change to control, alt, control+shift, alt+shift, respectively. I've tried to pick up Vim with this setup and always feel like my keyboard makes it irrelevant.
Interesting. If that were true, you would see a sudden youthfulness in CEOs, like regaining lost hair.
It's not just the speed, it's also the fees. You ideally want something that has really minimal fees, so that you can send $.0001 without paying 10x that in fees. The ability to process micro-transactions cheaply and at scale could actually have the transforming affect that bitcoin was originally after.
I like how you, with actual concrete real-world experiences you are sharing, are being downvoted by silent armchair enthusiasts who mostly just like GDPR because they get the sense that it’s vaguely bad for Facebook.
Hacker News
feature testing
The real problem is the idea that merely being old is a legitimate reason to stop working.
Are there any other books or resources Hacker News recommends? I’m probably wrong on a lot of what I think I know.

Reading / studying The Lean Startup is good, but I recommend going back to the origin of the whole movement, and read The Four Steps to the Epiphany by @sgblank. It really is an amazing book that walks through the process of starting a business, and explains the "Customer Development" process in excruciating detail. If you take nothing away from it, it will (hopefully) be the idea that a startup is all about search. Not "search" as in "web search" but "search" as in searching for a business model, market, distribution channels, promotional activities, etc. that work. Especially note the iterative aspect, and how the choice to "pivot" should occur in response to specific indicators, and isn't just some random whim that prompts a change of focus.

Another book I like is The Art of the Start by Guy Kawasaki. You might find it worth a read.

I also recommend Alan Kay's video series on "How to Invent the Future" which can be found on Youtube.

1.Think of an idea/ find co-founders (starting a company with friends has risks)
<snip>
7. Secure funding or be self sufficient cash business? Pitch to VC/investor??? No idea about this

That's a reasonable approximation of the idea, but again, note that iterations are part of the process. And it's a little bit more structured than that. Here's an example of what I mean:

Where you say "See if enough people have this “pain” to even pursue the startup." I would argue that that's incomplete. The question isn't only "do enough people have this pain" but also

1. Does the "thing" I'm proposing to build solve the pain?

2. If it does, does the customer value solving that pain enough to pay money for the solution?

3. How much will they pay?

4. Given the answer to (3) above, and my cost of developing and distributing the solution, can this be done profitably?

And that's before you get into the other questions you're trying to answer during the CD process like:

What channels do my customers learn about solutions like this from?

Should this be a purely self-serve / transactional sales model on a SaaS model with credit card payments, or is this a high-touch, direct-sales kind of thing?

What's the distribution channel that works for this "thing" and these customers? Maybe I need to sell through a VAR or System Integrator instead of direct.

Blah, etc. etc...
> The difference is that, once decided and written, no party (both old and new) can’t chime in with a new interpretation.

That double negative ("no party … can't") was accidental, right?
If the decision appears reasonable in the context of your industry, you won't be blamed.

Phrases like "Nobody ever got fired for buying Cisco/IBM/etc." are tossed around fairly often. If you chose the expensive, gold standard for your use-case and got burned anyway, odds are it won't be held against you.

Of course there are exceptions to that. If AWS going down results in loss of life -- you should take measures to avoid it. If the stakes are a day of lost work, the cure might be worse than the disease from a cost perspective.

i'm not so sure competitive multiplayer games are "the gaming zeitgeist."

They're popular, sure. But honestly they don't appeal to many or most gamers.
I did the same thing to mine. They have a rough surface when you buy them unlike old cast iron pans, apparently - though I don’t know if they’re smooth from use or came that way.
Finally caved and bought myself a light down jacket (https://www.rei.com/product/154226/rei-co-op-650-down-jacket...) initially for hiking but as it turns out there is a reason you see so many people wearing these in the bay area. It is perfect for cool/windy bay-area/SF evenings. Have been wearing it almost every day for the past year.

Also a robot vacuum. I didn't think it would work for me but I started forming a habit where I tidy and then turn it on whenever I am leaving my apartment and the cleanliness/effort ratio is of the charts.

I agreed with some of your sentiment until I got to this:

> You look too "soft",a "wussy", learn resourcefulness in films from people that go to war. You look too weak for making a company and need to get stronger.

Hmm.
I've been looking into minimalist/barefoot shoes lately and one thing that I found interesting is that, even though the plains First Nations of old (think Apache) wore thick, hard-soled moccasins, the woodland nations always preferred the soft, thin-soled pucker style.

The forest floor is littered with sticks, rocks, and other things, but clearly there was still some benefit derived from wearing what would now be termed "barefoot" shoes in the bush.

It depends on morals and principles. At what point is the money not worth it, which has nothing to do with legality.

Something also very common but less discussed is the practice of selling a slave's family members on a whim. Wives, husbands, children, parents sold, never to be seen again. A slave could also be raped, have their spouses and children raped on a whim as well. This was also common. There was also forced breeding.

Having to work at a shitty, thankless job just isn't in the same ballpark.
The current UK politicians are so mind numbingly naive in so many ways.
On the first question, my guess is that it activates queen like behavior on a default ant. So it's not actually giving it powers beyond its species, just reconfiguring the particular setup.

A good chair is a must-have for any office worker or PC gamer.

And as a gamer, I tell fellow gamers to avoid "gaming" chairs and instead opt for a high-end office chair. Personally, I'm not a fan of the Aeron, but I have a nice Steelcase Think.

Last year around this time, I also upgraded from a 9 year old $200 Ikea Fredrik desk to an electric Fully Jarvis.

$10,000 makes absolutely no sense in this day and age. The Bank Secrecy Act was made in 1970 and 10k was >250k in todays dollars. It is borderline authoritarian to audit all transactions over 10k now.
And how many failure modes are you introducing?

If your service is off the public Internet, you now have a failure mode where the company VPN going down kills all productivity. And if you're going to have issues with a disk getting filled up, that's most likely going to happen with an on-premise solution than with a hosted solution where they have a team to take care that the disks don't "fill up". And not keeping your software updated because "an update would happen at an inappropriate time and we don't need it" sounds like a good vulnerability vector.

Nonsense, just get rid of your couch / tv area. No distractions :)
Point taken about NPEs being defined behavior, but from a practical point of view, a bug is a bug (and bugs is what the parent comment was referring to).

Whether the bug was due to a well-defined or undefined behavior seems like an exercise in assigning blame to another entity (the language, the committee, the compiler, etc).
Nice.

Years ago I bought an old Sony Rx-100 Gen 1 because I wanted a good camera that I didn't mind if it got stolen or broken, and it was a great purchase. The Rx-100 had a nice large 1-inch cmos that could pick up great dynamic variations.

I'm ready to move up now, was looking at the Sony a6000 but I will look at this one, too.
The powers that be will not give up their monopoly not he issuance of currency lightly. Classifying crypto as an asset rather than a currency was the first step. The hand will squeeze tighter and tighter.
It's not about whether it makes perfect sense, it's about how understating your users are. People treat large cloud service outages like storms. When AWS has issues people aren't mad at me any more than they would be if they couldn't reach my brick-and-mortar store because of a flood.

iPhone is not a general computing platform, its a phone. They don’t advertise it as a general computing platform.
I am not sure this is true. If so, we'd be building a world that serves people who start tech startups and leaving out huge markets of people who are not this customer. Instead, I think you need to understand whether there's a real opportunity. If you have the problem yourself, that's one data point, but it is also possible to have humility and learn from other people who have needs. What doesn't work is trying to serve people who aren't you and also you don't listen to or understand.

Right. That’s what Satoshi wrote in their paper.

But throughput and fees are related, of course. As I noted, low transaction throughput combined with high popularity means very high fees. Fees get bid up. So to maintain low fees while having high popularity, you need high transaction throughput.

yeah that's what I gathered: javascript already runs on the browser, then we got node.js because people liked javascript and wanted to run it natively, and then finally we got this which allows us to run node.js on the browser again? it looks to me like we've gone full circle with extra overhead :D but I guess people have reasons to run node.js on the browser and not javascript so idk

As a private citizen I like GDPR - even if Facebook will find ways around it (but I do not really care, I've left Facebook many years ago because of privacy concerns).

As someone who implemented it in several companies, I don't like it because it hits smaller companies much harder than bigger ones, and because it tries to be technology agnostic it is quite fuzzy, compate to something like SOX or PCIDSS (which I also implemented as CTO). In Germany at least data protection agencies declared they will go after companies that use e.g. Mailchimp.

I factored it in casually but didn't do any arithmetic. My point wasn't really that 95k is a lot, but it's a pretty solid starting salary in any city. Certainly more than my starting salary out of college.. by about 30k. And I lived in NYC on my starting salary so I understand the COL factor. I've also lived in SF on less than 100k and as long as you have a roommate or two, which most 'starting salary'-age people do, then 95k can go pretty far. This wasn't even really my main point which was essentially "are these criminals not being arrested because our police force is understaffed / strapped for resources, or is it the case that we have plenty of cops but they just don't bother to go after these criminals"...

As far as I understand JS code is being run natively in the browser. Node has been hooked to the native engine, so V8 is not involved.

With our solution the full Linux x86 binary of nodejs is running including the whole of V8 and its JIT engine. Of course fully client side.
