That's not what's going on. It just never occurs to most people that something might have happened outside their home.

There's a popular game, Timeline ( https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/128664/timeline ), involving placing events (represented on cards) in the proper chronological sequence. Due to modern sensitivities, many of the cards have titles of the form "The discovery of America (by Europeans)".

But mostly they don't. "Invention of the printing press", explicitly lacking the "(by Europeans)" rider, is located in the 15th century, several hundred years after the invention of the printing press. None of this stuff is hard to look up.
Get a feel for the pain points that cost you B2B revenue or reputation; some of this may be tech stack, but more often then not, it’s process / human resource utilization.

Avoid day-to-day individual contribution at all costs; if you’re doing things right, your schedule should permit you to work on your own pet software projects without getting stuck within the agile machine.
> Has there been any research on Prions as a bio-terrorism weapon?

All such research has dual military-civilian usages. Similar to how all nuclear energy research has nuclear weapons implications. All space/rocket research has icbm implications.

As a matter of fact, all nuclear energy, space activity, etc by all nations are tied explicitly or implicitly to the military/defense.

It's why when our "enemies" ramp up on nuclear energy or space research, we ( the government and our media ) complain. It's also why we keep tabs on such research by our "allies" as well.

If any major nation is researching something, my guess is that they are also researching how to weaponize it and defend from it.
Just crappy-expensive regular Optimum in NYC, and Time Warner before that.

No I've never had carrier NAT. People often need to connect to their home computers from the internet for various purposes -- remote desktop, media server, SSH, NAS, printing, whatever -- which carrier NAT wouldn't allow, as far as I understand it.

I understand ISP's don't want you running high-traffic web servers on a home contract, but I thought it was still considered essential everywhere to at least be able to connect to your personal IP address from the internet for personal usage. (For home internet -- not mobile, obviously.)
I had/have one like that and I spent an hour sanding it down with progressively finer sandpaper. I now have that "old school" finish on my pan :)
> Islamic leaders are approving vaccines,

Oh, that's a clear indication that you do not understand Islam. Fatwas are only binding on the person who issues them. Same for lesser opinions.

Islam is different. While there are currently a lot of Islamic dictatorships, Islam is the genuine religion of personal choice and freedom.
France does not have compulsory military service for, what, 25 years?
I don't need Einstein's equation. Momentum is already assumed in kinetic energy and kinetic energy assumes massive bodies. This is the reason for using mass in the formula. I have no idea why you want the kinetic energy to be 0. The equation assumes a moving body. Thus v cannot be equal to zero.
Flu. Common cold. Herpes. We have many ongoing pandemics. We just tolerate them because we have no choice and because they are not very lethal.

Drum synthesis is one of those rabbit holes where you can obsess for a long time, when instead you can find good enough sounds quickly and should probably just use them!

I wonder how many collective hours people have burned in trying to synthesize the 909. Here's one cool video of getting it in Reaktor (https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=A_AWH3SgM84)... way cool as a project, but the ROI if everyone did it lol.

I've been using all my spare hours the past week spinning on trying to synthesis the snare used in the original Amen Break using Modo Drum to no avail. Like I said... Rabbit hole and I should probably just use samples like everyone else :(
So you spent years practicing being a manager and now you no longer think meetings are a big deal. But how does that help all the software engineers who didn't practice being a manager for many years and therefore still gets very distracted by meetings?
> It has something like 70% the energy density of gas

That's true - when running on ethanol, range is shorter. OTOH, it allows higher compression than gasoline - which is why some cars came with ethanol-only engines. When disassembling engines, we also note there is much less, if any, deposits.

> also corrosive.

This was solved (in cars) in the late 1970's.

> In the U.S., ethanol is just a highly inefficient subsidy for corn farmers.

Maybe not worth it for cars (especially now that we have viable batteries for EVs) but these are different markets.
Yeah it's definitely not a company you could bootstrap with 2 people. You'd need funding to build the team and product. But once you've actually built everything and gotten traction it'd be really hard for competitors to catch up because nobody is ever cancelling... Great VC business tbh
Honestly, I do that, and I'm just now finally getting a gas range (delivery is tomorrow) after 10 years with a ceramic radiant cooktop. My old cooktop looks pretty much pristine for 10 years of use, and I definitely jiggle the pan around and flip the contents to help distribute the contents or the heat evenly (or both). Just like myths about cast iron, people are way more afraid of scratching their glass cooktop than they need to be. Most scratches are microfine and can be removed anyway using any glass cooktop cleaner, since it's essentially a polishing compound.
Would not characterize it this way. I mainly use Zapier for marketing automation tasks, as do quite a few other people - regardless of whether that is what it is "aimed" at, marketing is a major use case for zapier in practice.

Pushing something into a spreadsheet is certainly a widely used zapier idiom. In 2021, it is capable of far more complex tasks, though.

Limelight Announces Acquisition of Layer0
Vaccination status isn’t private health information in the same way a cancer diagnosis is. Vaccination’s are public health measures not private health measures.

Employers need to know if their employees represent a risk to the health of their employees and customers. Nobody wants to employ Typhoid Mary.

We should be extremely wary of giving employers our entire medical history, which is illegal for employers to collect in the US as well (under the ADA and other laws). We should have no concerns giving them our vaccination history for at least two reasons: 1) that info is already held by the government and we’ve already given it to K-12 schools plus university. And 2) as sensible members of society, we are vaccinated so there’s nothing for our employers to act against us on.
This is the one case I would believe if it was month over month growth. Rents were so insanely low in Jan-Apr (some places even 50% off). Now everyone is trying to get a place.
We are just finding out that vaccinated people still spread the virus, so getting vaccinated only protects the person who is vaccinated, which means that all of the arguments about how the unvaccinated are going to hurt people is only true if vaccinated people do too.
I also like the ESP32, but low power seems like a stretch... that thing runs very warm. I suppose if your benchmark is an i386 or a Raspberry Pi, then sure, it's low power, but compared to other microcontrollers with comparable wireless peripherals, it seems to consume more power than any of them.

Leaving it wet doesn't do you any favours either though.

English localizations of anime in that time period were often pretty heavily changed from the Japanese originals. I haven't seen this one in particular but I wouldn't be surprised if it was practically a different show by the time western translators and editors were done with it.

Edit: Yep, from the wikipedia page:

"Many characters had their names changed to American-sounding ones, the original background music was completely replaced with new background music, and scenes with nudity were edited to remove any signs of indecent exposure. Most adult jokes were re-made into family-friendly jokes, and the profanity was edited out. However, the frequent appearance of Shinnosuke's naked buttocks, as well as humor relating to breast-size and sexual themes, remained in the finished product. Some episodes that displayed adult material and mature content were not dubbed at all. Additionally, the episodes were dubbed out of their original order which created continuity errors. For example, episode 29 shows Shin bringing his classmates to visit his newborn sister, episode 30 shows his sister coming home from her birth in the hospital and in episode 52 it was revealed that Shin was going to have a sister."

> Voting for a third party candidate is effectively throwing your vote away in a protest no one will ever hear in a FPTP system.

Voting for a 3rd party is not a de facto protest vote, nor is it throwing it away in any case. What power do you get for voting for a party not aligned with your interests? If a third party should achieve a 5% vote, they are eligible for federal funds and would have a big impact on ballot access nationally.

That may not be very persuasive to you (based on conversations I've had with others who felt similarly), but I no longer need regret voting strategically (which actually feels like throwing my vote away).
But would such a VPC be able to make outgoing connections to IPv4-only servers?
It's not necessarily harmful, and it depends on your situation. Until very recently I cooked on a glass cooktop, and if you go straight to high with a cold pan you have a high risk of warping it (which you'll know if it spins on a flat surface) which makes it heat unevenly. If you use a gas cooktop, you kind of don't have to care as much. A warped cast iron pan still can cook just fine on gas, but it won't work as well on a ceramic cooktop.

Low temps guarantee you won't warp or crack the pan. But if you're not super worried about it, go ham.
> The burden of proof is not on the people who have every reason to believe they have natural immunity.

> It's entirely on people who want to mandate a medical procedure.

Nope, not really. While there is quite a high burden of proof on the people who want to mandate a medical procedure, the people who make their own medical claims (such as natural immunity provides equivalent or adequate protection) bear a significant burden of proof as well. Relieving them of that burden is completely impractical, since it would privilege all kinds of spurious claims.

The vaccines have proven to be safe and effective. If you want another preventative treatment to be considered equivalent, prove it.

> I understand it is possible to get fired as a customer if your support burden is too high and your ROI goes negative, so be on your best behavior to keep access to those prices.

That's not a nice statement.

It sounds like Hetzner will cancel your contract as soon as you submit a support request, which is not true (I personally opened in ~May 5-10 tickets within a few days when trying to boot from UEFI).

I really do not think that they track single customers in relation to their single ROIs.
Subdomains are not as much a problem as you would think. There is a resource ( https://publicsuffix.org/ ) that lists all public suffix domains. All direct subdomains of these are in full control of all their own subdomains, and thus can share the same spam reputation.

e.g. when .com is on the list, and .somesite.com is not on the list, mail@somesite.com is from the same entity as mail@subdomain.somesite.com

An alternative method for fully stripping a cast iron pan
is to put it in the oven and run a full self-cleaning cycle,
removing the pan when it is stilly fairly warm,
dusting out any carbon residue, and
then immediately seasoning it before it rusts.

Works well in an electric
oven, haven’t tried it in a self-cleaning gas oven. Search
online for more details, other opinions, videos. Still skeptical? Try it on the ugliest & cheapest thrift store
pan you can find as a test.
So, I'm sorry, I used to have a very high opinion of the NYT, now I just don't. The consequence of their model wasn't better journalism, it was polarization-as-a-service (I didn't invent that term for them). Preaching to the choir means people in the choir very excited to sponsor you, thinking that you are reaching someone who is undecided (they're not).

I agree there's a big problem, but NYT does not seem to be a good example of a solution. If ethical ads resulted in more NYT-like behavior, given our current state of nearly-violent-polarization, I can't say I'm sure it sounds like an improvement. More polarized (and polarizing) news is definitely not what we need.

Well we have no way of knowing if the couplings that produced human-neanderthal hybrids were done with the intention of producing offspring. If you stick your dick in what you think is a bull but is actually the queen of Crete in a bull costume, your bestiality may very well result in a child.
I'm talking about more common levels of income, not just the odd Bill Gates or King of Bazerbaijar.

Advantaging your own reproductive success is a stronger feeling than eating enemies. You could even say it's the ultimate purpose of life for an organism or genome. It would be hard to suppress it, and destructive if people suppress it too much.

Maybe culture could change so that it becomes normal but obviously we can't have everyone doing that or we'd be in a race to the bottom. I don't see how a culture that supports the biologically superior people at the expense of the inferior would be stable. Even if you have popular support for eugenics, surely people who realize they're at the bottom of the heap and being pushed further down will rebel against it.

> As for poor parents being "incapable" - that's a wholly circular argument. Who knows how capable they would be with more resources?

It's you being circular. Obviously, any incapable person would be capable if they had capability, by definition. I'm talking about people who are incapable with what they've got.
Half of studies have been shown to be non-repeatable though through p-hacking :) Maybe it’s all a dice roll.

Company structure for a solo bootstrapped founder?
Hey everyone, been working on an MVP for the past year and finally getting ready to launch this thing.

As this is my first venture I wanted to check in here for some advice on what the best corp structure to start this thing would be.

This is a bootstrapped venture that I’m launching in a small market as a proof of concept to start with. I’m looking for the best possible setup to be able to grow quickly and possibly look for outside funding for scaling the business faster in the future.

I believe the MVP will bring in some revenue fairly quickly. If it will be attractive enough for outside investment remains to be seen but I guess what I’m trying to say is that once launched I believe there is a decent chance I’ll be working on this for a while.

The dilemma is that every dollar and hour of admin work counts as a single founder that is bootstrapping so I’m looking for the solution that has the least headaches and is the most cost-effective.

Basically, would the best route just be to register as an LLC in my home state (Colorado) and worry about the transformation to a Delaware C corp if any VCs turn out to be interested later?

I was considering just launching the MVP as a sole proprietor but this is a subscription consumer app and I can’t stand the fact that it would be my personal name as the seller in the App Store rather than the company name.

That leaves LLC home state (CO) or C corp Delaware with a tool like clerky.

My concern with C corp is the money and time that will be spent on admin tasks.

The real question I suppose, is how painful is it to transform as an out-of-state LLC to Delaware C corp in the future? Would the fact that I'm a single owner of the business make the conversion easier? Is there a easy way to transform without triggering tax events?

Would love to get some thoughts and appreciate any advice from the community here.

Cheers,

There are two reasons you could give for this that I'm aware of:

1. Most Google services are behind a single frontend, and supporting IPv6 is easy because that frontend already supports v6 and you have to do specifically stupid things in order to not get support (backends hardly care what kind of address the request originally came in over). Cluster networking is not like that; the network is the product, not just the delivery mechanism you happen to run HTTP over, and you have to do real extra work to support both.
2. Google's IPv6 SWE team was largely wound down (most of the interesting things were “done”) a bit before GCE became a thing; at that point, IPv6 was generally expected to be done by each team and not a merry band of renegades, and GCE had more than enough other things to worry about.

(I worked in the IPv6 deployment team at the time, part of it in 20% time.)

> just their actual outlays

My instinct is that you're not including the cost of the fuel, or maybe the two types of plants have different financing models that are hard to compare directly, but I wouldn't be qualified to check your results even if you presented all the data.

Doesn't this logic cut both ways? If wind energy was so expensive, then no one would be building wind farms.
Displaying an NFT was my thought for it too. Gas fees were high at the time and so I never did anything there either.
My blog is set up this way, but with markdown files instead of SQLite. At startup the server loads the whole database of posts into memory and then writes rendered pages out to disk as they're requested using a gem called Rack::FunkyCache. Nginx sits in front and serves the cached files once they've been generated.

I've been toying with loading the pages into SQLite to facilitate search for awhile. Thanks for the reminder!
When I had my 3rd child, the hospital made us watch about 2 hours of different videos about dealing with a < 1yr old child. I found this particularly interesting because:

1) It made perfect sense. You have to demonstrate a certain level of competence to get a driver's license, why not a child also?

2) For child #1 & #2 they just let us take them out of the hospital, which really felt surreal. Sort of like "Don't they know we have no idea what we're doing?"

Anyway, the point of that is to say that it probably makes sense to include something about swimming into those videos. Or to have the equivalent of annual "professional development" training for parents to educate them on the issues facing them in the next year of their kid's development.

Not required, that would be difficult to accomplish. But strongly encouraged & nudged repeatedly. Heck I can't go a year at my job without annual computer security educational programs to refresh staff on safe computing protocols, but parents are left flying blind to piece things together based on their own experiences growing up & whatever they've absorbed from pop media.

Yes, indeed, there are something similar in Rails and Django ecosystem.

All of them give access to:
- Authentication

- Payment

- Dashboard UI

- Landing page

- Form management

- ...

I just made the same for Node.js/JavaScript/TypeScript ecosystem. Nextless.js also gives access to the same features in React and TypeScript. But, I also wanted to add more into the boilerplate, things that don't offer by others:

- Infrastructure as code

- Serverless for scalability and pay-as-you-go pricing with no server to manage, no docker, no kubernetes
