It works for a certain type of buyer, one who basically wants to drive the process themselves and just needs an agent for guidance. This described us pretty well, and many other Millennials. We basically just wanted an agent because we were househunting during COVID and needed one to literally get in the door, and to help guide us through the paperwork and process since we were FTHBs. Redfin was great for this; our agent didn't pressure us to buy or steer us toward any particular homes, then he had a bunch of useful information when it came time to negotiating and putting in an actual offer.

ISP rarely do anything else than DNS censoring (censoring by ip blackholing is for really grave stuff). Also i don't understand why you'd be "better off" using encrypted connection to a 3rd party DNS which can still lie to you. Just run a local resolver, it's so lightweight there's no real reason not to. (and honestly, the hypothetical delay isn't noticeable)

> Other than the argument that this could be an anti-trust situation (i.e. in that case, the argument would be that Apple is abusing their market position), what differentiates these two cases ?

Well I think you already explained it. One is a company large enough to effectively dictate the terms of the market and thereby practically tax every other company.

The other is a small tool among many others.
Managing secrets is critical in this day and age for individuals and organizations of all kinds and sizes. Many developers currently find it painful to manage their app configurations and secrets, and this pain grows with stack complexity and team size. This makes building and deploying manual, time-consuming and insecure.

Today there are great solutions in this space, however, from our personal experience as developers, we have felt that existing solutions are either:

1) Too complex to set up and operate for the everyday developer

2) Tied to cloud-providers and don’t work well cross-platform

3) Pure SaaS solutions don’t play well with trust and reliability

Because of this, engineers end up writing custom wrappers around existing tools to solve developer experience and integrations with their stack.

Garnet is a developer-focused, open-source secrets manager which can be easily self-hosted on your own infrastructure. We aim to provide a single source of truth for configs and secrets across your tools, apps, environments and teams while delivering a great developer-experience through features like rich audit logs and versioning, granular access controls, notifications and native integrations with existing secrets and config management systems.

Garnet wants to solve this problem from a developer-first point of view, and we want to work with the community to elevate configurations as a first-class citizen in a developer’s workflow.

We’re actively looking for feedback and contributions! Please star and check out our GitHub repo to read more on what we’re building: https://github.com/garnet-labs/garnet-oss

Yeah there should be exemptions (i.e. standard deductions) to help low-income people (retirees with low savings, such as those dependent on social security or disabled, etc) and for people's primary residence.

What we don't want is a 50 year old who fully owns a $2 mil house and has $15 mil in the stock market and $1 mil in cash to be exempted from most property tax, but a 30 year old with $200k total assets to be on the hook for the full property tax rate. That doesn't make sense.

It does literally say ‘90 days’. Pedantically, if that's read as a physical measurement, it's precise to plus or minus half a day, which more than covers the actual state. Perhaps Mozilla also erred in accepting a statement that said ‘90 days’ rather than ‘7776000 seconds’.

We built https://iko.ai, a machine learning platform, to speed up our work as a boutique machine learning consultancy.

It offers live collaboration on notebooks, scheduled long-running GPU notebooks that you can watch live while they run even when closing the browser, automatic experiment tracking for notebooks, parameters, and models, plus one click model deployment and a live dashboard to monitor models.

We use containers and Kubernetes (we have executors for Docker and Kubernetes). We currently run things on our GCP cluster, but are working to use users' clusters in a "bring your own cluster" setting, so users can choose the specs and use their billing.

When I was a young guy who happened to be partner in a hedge fund, I used to ask candidates about this.

I kinda regret it now. I'm not sure what I was trying to find out from people. I guess in some way it's a cultural question masquerading as a technical question, because it reveals whether you've heard of it and whether you have heard of the standard stuff that's said about it:

- Don't do full Kelly because if you're on the wrong side (too big bets) that's definitely bad.

- Depends on the probabilities being static.

- You can find a continuous form of it. You can also find the implied leverage from the Sharpe ratio.

I wonder if my memory is even correct on these. But the point remains that it's not terribly useful as a thing to evaluate people with. I guess the question "How do you size your positions?" needs to start somewhere.
Yeah, it's not like they put together this entire business and then afterwards realized they'd have to pony up money to Apple. If they didn't know up front, that's not great business planning.

Agreed, that's the one I use, so fast!
Absolutely, this is a key reason why I strongly believe what goes in the log matters. If the log is a list of commands, then you have two representations to contend with: the differential/patch form and then the aggregated state.

An area that I'm playing around with is a log reducer which transforms a region within a log into a single item. For instance, if the log entries are just JSON (without arrays) then json merge (RFC 7396) is an example reducer. See http://www.adama-lang.org/blog/json-on-the-brain for more detail.
> If this is true then the goal is to create a mining algorithm that focuses on being as wasteful as possible.

This wouldn't be profitable for miners, so the economics of the coin would collapse. Bitcoin is designed to balance these incentives.

> This is simply not true. There is no such thing as excess power, whatever is not used should be stored or sold to other countries.

You don't understand power grids. Electricity is diminished the further it travels over transmission lines. Only fossil fuels like oil can be "stored and sold to other countries", renewables don't work like this. Excess power generated by renewables, and even by some non-renewables, is frequently wasted because (at certain times) it's either not economically feasible to transport it to population centers, or the grid is at full capacity. You can't pump that excess power into the grid or you will break it.

> Excess energy production has always been a thing

Sure, but this is a new solution.

> and there are mitigation efforts in place much better than "lets put a server farm that wastes energy"

Why do you think current plans are better? Bitcoin mining gives a financial incentive to produce renewables as a direct result of the technical details of power grids. You're being awfully dismissive for someone who knows so little.

There's a really strong movement inside the crypto community to move away from any sort of technology that requires a Proof of Work system like Bitcoin. Bitcoin is like the racist grandfather that started the family: nobody _actually_ likes it except the people trying to get close to get rich off of it someday. There are lots of blockchains that are very promising that are excellent alternatives that are gaining major traction. Even Ethereum itself recognizes that Proof of Work is terrible and is restructuring how the blockchain itself operates to correct it.

But something nobody ever even questions is: How much power does Wall Street consume? Or every bank, and every bank chain in the world? It's so easy to point the finger directly at coin mining as "that's bad" because people used to try to do it at home and it became increasingly impossible to do because of the power consumption, but nobody sees the power consumption by the huge amount of computational automation that goes into stock trading.

Ethereum is facing that very scenario of miners versus environment and has told the miners: too bad, your way will die, prepare for it. I don't know if Bitcoin will do that or follow suit, but I would argue that Ethereum is the worst of the two since it still uses GPUs for mining rather than customized ASIC processors (which only have one purpose: to calculate, in hardware, a SHA256 hash using parallel micro-cores that can run hundreds simultaneously per chip) like Bitcoin does.

I'm looking forward to the day when a smart, environmentally-friendly blockchain like EOS/WAX, Stellar, Solana, and the likes take over and slowly "wrap" BTC into them, burning them on one chain to activate their value on another.

My app does end-to-end encryption, and this is much more straightforward in a "real" app. (1) I need non-volatile storage for the keys, and (2) I want users to know if/when they get a new version of the code.

You can do E2EE in a web app (like Element.io), but then every time you load the page, you're trusting the server not to send you a new version with a backdoor.

I would think that a few chunks of very similar code, and a well-paid expert testifying, plus the fact that he had knowledge of Replit's code from his employment, would go a long way towards a tough time in court for both parties. (Or, at the very least, that they both need to talk to lawyers before/when they start throwing around legal threats...)
