Regarding lesson 4 (Distribution), the author links to a tweet by Justin Kan saying "First time founders are obsessed with products. Second time founders are obsessed with distribution".

Justin Kan posted[0] today a video of himself criticizing that very tweet, saying that it didn't age well and he now believes product is 99% of the work, and the reason that many unicorns are founded by first-time founders is they don't get distracted by thoughts about anything other than product, like distribution.

BoiledCabbage also had a now buried reply with more context:

> Exactly this. To discuss Toussaint and 1804 and not discuss the French commander Rochambeau is extremely misleading. He brought gas chambers to Haiti via and was systematically massacring blacks. The entire war turned brutal.

Haiti knew trade was key as they were the wealthiest colony in the west. Toussaint actually negotiated treaties with John Adams and welcomed American investment and trade deals along with other nations. What happened (and again Haiti perspectives comes in to play of who was writing history and what gets emphasized), was a nation of slave gaining independence and defeating Napoleon in military combat. That absolutely shocked the European powers. They were all slave holding counties and their immediate acts was to stop Haiti from succeeding at all costs.

In the US Thomas Jefferson took over, and being a southern pro-plavery president he immediately blocked all trade with Haiti knowing that the colony depended on trade to survive financially. France as well planned to essentially starve the country economically and take it back over later. The entire western powers effectively put the country under embargo. They were deathly afraid it would inspire other slave areas to want freedom (lots of texts written about this) and the way they decided to stop it was to ensure Haiti fails as a country.

The fighting in that war for independence was brutal and ugly on all sides. Toussaint was a brilliant leader and likely would've taken the country to success. He beat what were considered to European armies is the time. Final after winning again against the French, they invited him to "parley" and when he came for the discussion they captured him and threw him in a prison where he died. They could not beat him and finally that was his they stopped him. For diplomatic negotiation and the capture. And that was maybe the third back stab by the European powers at the time. He was the father of Haiti, their George Washington.

His replacement is the one who never forgave that and who militarily was against Rochembeau and who was after this betrayal we no longer want any Europeans here. Previously the British betrayed them, said they'd fight with with against France to end slavery. They agreed - allied with the British and then a the hatians they took all the militarily losses and handed territory to the British to be British free colonies the British came in and started enslaving the Haitians again.

The period of that time is insanely complex. All of a sudden I've seen the narrative of OP being pushed everywhere. Because it's "easy" and people can think of Zimbabwe as an easy analogy - that's wrong. And frequently people pushing it then turn it into discussions of current US politics. [And that's where I'll stop because I don't want this to start down that trail]. What went on in Haiti is way more complex than that simplistic narrative.
Whilst you're clearly much more comfortable with your "Facebook are bad" line, the problem is that this isn't the thread about how Facebook are good actually, this thread was about your completely bogus claim about Security Keys:

> This ignores the possibility that the company selling the solution could itself easily defeat the solution.

I'm sure you really are worried about how "Facebook are bad", and you feel like you need to insert that into many conversations about other things, but "Facebook are bad" is irrelevant here.

You made a bogus claim about Security Keys. These bogus claims help to validate people's feeling that they're helpless and, eh, they might as well put up with "Facebook are bad" because evidently there isn't anything they can really do about it.

So your problem is, which is more important, to take every opportunity to surface the message you care about "Facebook are bad" in contexts where it wasn't actually relevant, or to accept that hey, actually you're wrong about a lot of things, and some of those things actually reduce the threat from Facebook ? I can't help you make that choice.
The point is to drive home how they might feel about publicity announcing and verifying their income for the world to see.
Most of the lethargic narcists I met were weed (and other drug) users. Most weed users I know are not lethargic narcists. People who swing in the direction of personality disorders already have a predisposition to "anti-social" behavioral patterns, and frequent risk-taking. It's just as likely that they get into drugs on account of existing personality constructs as they develop personality constructs on account of using drugs.

>I don’t know what the difference is between “modern” weed and the grown-in-the-ditch North Carolina weed I smoked in my youth.

Several differences.

You know if the street stuff was an indica, sativa or hybrid? Some people react much, much worse to specific strain types than others. I'm one of those. I can't smoke strong indicas or I basically have panic attacks.

Modern strains can have upwards of FOUR+ TIMES the thc content... I've seen cheap strains in dispensaries that were above 30%. Old cheap street skunk was maybe 6 to 8% if you were lucky.

You smoked like you smoked before, ignoring the differences in potency, so you gave yourself a much higher dose right off the bat... with no tolerance from being a regular smoker.

> the judge allowed it to move forward

… on a Motion to Dismiss, which means literally "if we take everything the plaintiff says as the gospel truth, and dismiss anything the defendant says, would the plaintiff have a case?"

> It's literally mentioned in the article.

The judge allowed some of the numerous claims to proceed to the next trial stage, while dismissing others outright.

If you follow the article's link to the ruling, you will find that actual malice is literally the standard applied to many of the counts, which were indeed dismissed at the Motion to Dismiss stage: "mere negligence or deviation from professional standards is insufficient to allege actual malice".

Whether that standard applies to the libel charge depends on whether the plaintiff is a public figure, which apparently in that state is never decided in the Motion to Dismiss stage. However, the next step is generally a Motion for Summary Judgment, and odds are good that she will be found a (Limited, at least) public figure, at which point the Libel, Defamation, Emotional Distress, and Tortious Interference counts are history.

It's strange. Obesity is our biggest preventable health problem, and it gets almost no attention in the media or by public officials. We heard endlessly from health officials and news media personalities to wash our hands, stay indoors, wear a mask, get vaccinated, but nothing about eating healthier, eating less, exercising more?

Because it's been going on in the background so long, that it became part of the background.

Also, it's not like it's not noticed by public officials. You hear all the time in recommendations and guidelines we should lose weight and get more exercise.

That said, I would also note that current public health policy is basically a failure in that we largely failed to move the needle regarding the obesity pandemic or getting the recommended exercise dose.

A practical application of this is to suggest that those who want to use cannabis for a good night;s sleep, get started two or three hours before bedtime.

I still employ it, carefully, from time to time.

>but a question whether it's a relevant concern in the context of Starlink

I kind of thought it was pretty obvious that my statement was specifically in the context of Starlink, given that I explicitly acknowledged that higher up megaconstellations are a much bigger concern. But it's not at all to a significant degree for Starlink due to orbital decay by atmospheric drag. Have to get above 550-600km or so for unpowered lifetimes to really start to stretch out. You might find this Gabbard diagram animation very interesting as a visualization:

https://old.reddit.com/r/space/comments/ld4vlq/gabbard_diagr...

It shows all the altitudes against period of all tracked space debris since 1959. Watch what happens around the 550-600km mark in terms of decay acceleration. Starlink, particularly the VLEO ones that are planned to form the majority of the constellation when completed, is essentially passive failsafe. Planned deorbit is still much better than a 1-5 year lifetime of course, but neither will it ever just block us off or render an orbit unusable because they're just plain too low. Anything below those marks (like ISS) requires regular active reboosts to maintain their orbits. When ISS wants to get rid of trash, they can literally just let it go in a big brick.

Kessler absolutely is worth worrying about very much at altitude. But a lot of the coverage and stuff getting shared around about it are 100% backwards. They focus purely on raw numbers of sats. But the absolute best way to avoid Kessler is to go low for as many things as possible, which by definition requires more, cheaper sats that get replaced much more regularly. Massive VLEO constellations are a good thing for space debris not a bad one, because they require both active boosting and even aerodynamics to stay up, and even a worst case direct collision of two sats at ~300km say would result in complete elimination of all debris within at most a month. Starship will make lower altitudes and more safety systems economically feasible.
Show HN: We sockcessfully help companies get attention in a fun way
I think if the mind a little like a firewall/router, which has sets of rules it automatically routes in hardware without bringing the packets to the main cpu.

Most of the things you do, you do unconsciously. You do them according to set of rules you trained and "compiled" in your mind. To change unconscious behaviors, you either have to retrain a different unconscious behavior, or at the very least, train to take those decisions consciously.

I think many times people don't change their behavior because they still take the decision unconsciously. They did fully make a decision to change, but that decision is meaningless because it's conscious, and the code in their mind didn't change to give them a conscious opportunity to make a decision.

Notebook that chooses an optimizer for you
Here's a colab notebook that will recommend a black-box optimizer for your objective function.

The recommendations are based on the Elo ratings for derivative-free optimization packages (see https://lnkd.in/ghgmKfN) which are now quite mature.

The notebook will also compare directly the performance of many different optimization strategies, drawn from disparate libraries, on your objective function(s).

This is a lot faster than trying out nlopt, bobyqa, dlib, nevergrad, pysot, hebo, bayesopt, skopt, ax-platform, shgo, pymoo, hyperopt, optuna, platypus, ultraopt and other Python packages, not to mention variations within, yourself.

A lot faster.
