As a founder, you have to get comfortable with doing sales. It’s how you get, you know, money and revenue.

But you don’t have to be an “incredible” salesperson.

Be able to explain the value prop of your product. Know your customer and know how you help them. Become good at having them know this too.

But that’s just rote sales and marketing. Nothing “incredible” about it.

But yes, if you are technical and hold “sales” as some kind of contemptuous skill, you won’t do well.
>to the unheard of extent of banning a sitting President.

Everyone keeps bringing this up like Twitter banned Trump from the White House or something. A sitting president doesn't have any more of a right to a personal Twitter account after breaking the site's terms of service than anyone else. He's not a king, and Twitter isn't his property.

What happened to Trump wasn't anywhere near unheard of - people just believe that even the basic rules of decency for posting on a social media platform shouldn't apply to him. Twitter bent over backwards putting up with him for four years, until he crossed a line not even Twitter was willing to put up with. Most people would have been banned far sooner.
This is very dependent on your personal bubble. Plenty of communities make fun of the "beauty" standards you mentioned. If anything, making fun of these standards seems to me to be at least as popular in our general culture today.
I’m a parent of three kids (all under 7), and I’m also the Cofounder of a startup that is doing quite well so far (though we are still early).

I would say that it all depends on funding. I have bootstrapped before, and I could never do that now. Perhaps more accurately, I would not want to do that now.

Having raised funds for this start up, my salary is a lot lower than it was working in enterprise, but it’s enough to support me and my family.

I have two Cofounders to share the load. One is also a parent, one isn’t. They pull a lot of weight, but none of us have to work ourselves to death. Having a good founding team is crucial.

My wife is at home full-time - Chief of Domestic Operations - and that’s what makes it work. Because she enjoys that role and I can feed us all, things work out.

With that support structure (funds, founding team, supportive spouse), it’s very doable. Still hard work, but the very enjoyable good kind of hard work.
But you don't get a news article about you. I think the implicit injustice here is that the public perception and appreciation of selfless giving is firmly stuck in absolute rather than relative terms.

The problem of course is if people started thinking in relative terms then there would be little or no incentive for the wealthy to give anything at all. In this version of a just world, this $180k gift would be just as ignored as the $7.50 gift. The fact that this person gave non-anonymously tells me that it was about PR as much as anything else.

BTW, truly blessed are the ones who give anonymously. That, to me, is the ultimate in giving, because you receive nothing, not even notoriety, in return.
The objective of being mindful of the thumbnail is to fool the human reviewer responsible for alerting the police to your target's need for a good swatting - the algorithm has already flagged the image by the time it is presented as a thumbnail during review.

You'd basically start off with an image known (or very likely) to be cataloged in a CP hash database.

Note its NeuralHash.

Find a non-CP image that would, after being scaled down or otherwise sanitized, fool an unaccountable and likely disinterested Apple employee into muttering "close enough" while selecting whichever option box it is that causes life ruination.

Feed that imagine into an adversarial network until it spits out the desired NeuralHash.

Distribute that image to everyone who has ever disagreed with you on the internet, prayed to the wrong god, competed with you in business, voted the wrong way, etc.

Personally I'd put luck and resiliency at the top but I can't say you're wrong/that I'd disagree that much - WeWork is exactly proof of that, at least in times when money is cheap.

But WeWork is also proof that unless there's some substance to go with the selling the story won't end well.
Also from my anecdotal experience it's possible google is a bit smart about unsubscribe links. My tiny blog has "unsubscribe" as part of its URL, it's truly one-click unsub and doesn't do anything clever like user agent checking or JS actions. Nevertheless, I see 8 gmails that still have email notifications on, and 3 that have unsubbed at some point.

> The institution of a church in the theological sense has nothing to do with a legally registered organization. The domain of the church, in the sense of "separation of church and state", is in the psychology and interal belief structures of the mass of people. The Enlightenment thinkers who asserted a separation of church and state were not making an assertion about mere legal technicality.

Just pointing out that this seems to be your own interpretation and isn't held in any legal doctrine I've been able to find.

In-fact it doesn't have a lot of historical or academic backing either: Historically, the separation of church and state was about removing the special benefits of state-sanctioned religions so that other churches could exist.

That was explicitly about the legally registered organisation, and you can see this now in how legally registered churches are constantly trying to find ways to legally divorce themselves from linked entities so those entities can receive state funding. That is 100% about the legally registered organisations.
One difference here is that in one case, we're talking about someone who's financially independent hundreds of thousands of times over, and has enough financial resources to do real good on a fairly large scale, versus @jdavis703, who still needs to work to provide for himself. One can argue (and this is becoming a stronger argument day by day as the whole "tax the rich" sentiment grows stronger and stronger) that the CEO has a responsibility to give back to the society that allows him to exist [0].

This isn't minimizing your personal act of charity. You don't have the power to, say, make sure that every unhoused person in your city has access to shelter, or that every American has access to an affordable source of potable water, or any of the other shameful situations that exist in the richest country in the world by total GDP[1]. This is bringing the scale of the CEO's act down to something the 99.999% of us who aren't billionaires can comprehend.

---

[0]: Of course, I don't mean in the literal sense of "society allows this guy to live," but more that his billionaire status owes in large part to the fact that American society is set up to allow people to become billionaires.

[1]: This is to say nothing of fighting climate change, or any other, important, global issue.

> stopped using C++ because [...] and the overhead of headers adds too much to compile time?

> An enormous draw for alternatives, like Rust, Zig, Nim et al is that they simply don't have these problems.

I'm using Nim full time at the moment in a large project.

Like Rust, it certainly does have the compile time problem due to parsing lots of files! Every compile, Nim processes every source file in the program, including libraries, and this can take minutes.

Unlike C++ where each source file can be compiled in parallel, and after a small change most files usually don't need to be recompiled, Nim's scan of the whole program's source files is single-threaded, so it's the slowest part of the build. Nim compiles to C, and the C compilation and linking steps are relatively fast because the C compilations are run in parallel and cached.

I have to admit, while I like Wardley mapping, the fact that someone talks about his own (seemingly) failed technology revolution in hindsight, makes me a bit sceptic.
That’s more a consequence of hooks & context in React specifically , rather than the component model. There are other frameworks where it’s much easier to reason about updates.

> It's not as simple as the title seems to suggest and I like this section for summing up a nutshell "good news, bad news" take on this:

The paper isn’t suggesting this is good news at all. The observed modifications to nutrient absorption were largely negative.

The intestines don’t actually have a problem absorbing nutrients. The problem is that excess fructose can disrupt how quickly those nutrients are absorbed, which causes problems.

In this case, the increased nutrient absorption isn’t a good thing.
This is a fantastic article. While I agree with the author for the most part, its a fine line between not reading anything at all and only creating. After all the author has a signup page to receive more of his content. I don't think the author meant that you should not read anything at all. The takeaway for me is:-
1. Be conscious of what you are reading.
2. Realize the opportunity cost of what you are reading/watching.
3. Always be creating something.

...if money is all that concerns you, I'd say stay away from porn, or white supremacy. Not much money in being a pariah, usually.

The amount of money in porn overall is vast, generally estimated in the billions.[1] Some pariahs get a lot of money.

I'd agree on white supremacy, still.

Okay, yeah, I guess that Lua modules in particular are going to make everything fall down.
No verification will be bulletproof, and persistent people will occasionally get around it. I'm not sure what responsibility OnlyFans has beyond taking reasonable measures to prevent circumventing verification. The article mentions someone using their older sister's license as verification. Presumably they look similar. And that's somehow OnlyFan's fault? There's no reason why the executives would have any sort of personal liability.

The anti-vice authoritarians will always come after any lucrative porn enterprise with these sensationalized stories. I'm surprised there are still people out there that eat it up.
Which is an individual and legal process, i.e., it requires a search warrant. There are certainly problems with this process, but at a minimum, an account needs to be already and individually identified through some process (suspicion) and a legal process vetted by a judge happens (probable cause) to allow the access.

That's not at all the same as proactively casting a net and starting an investigation based on the results.

Apple has designed the system so that 30 matches are required; they could include more key material in each safety voucher to reduce the number required, or make it only require one match by providing the whole key in each voucher, or forego the system entirely in favor of one without such restrictions (which they can do, given some time, with an iOS update). It isn't "not technically possible" it's just "how they designed it", which is what the poster is saying Congress would ask about.
Wow wow wow, this is incredible for startups who were trying to get in this space but were having a tough time competing with OnlyFans. It will be a transfer of wealth.

Not sure who's paying for NYTimes when there are plenty of mirror sites, but whatever. Anyway, it should be obvious to the reader that this would be theft and that is unjust. We need to be people who pursue justice rather than steamrolling it. If we stop doing this, then there will not be justice, and that isn't the kind of world we want to live in.

>I find it utterly fascinating that Reddit is able to maintain such a huge porn collection with relatively little attention. I wish I knew what percentage of submissions were in NSFW subreddits, but I wouldn't be surprised if it were the majority.

All reddit NSFW content has been removed from /r/popular and /r/all about two months ago.

I think they're getting ready for an IPO.

All that porn probably won't be there anymore in a few years.

What I meant by 'component' was the idea of state + templates being in the same thing.

I prefer dumb views, but no issue with those dumb views being split up into sub views.

But not 100% sure what you mean - could you expand?
I actually don't think that Reddit wanted T_D gone - the Subreddit had a massive amount of subscribes and generated activity all over the site. It surely was controversial, but in the end it probably helped Reddit more than it damaged it.

It just seems that Reddit has a policy of cutting subreddits loose once they get mainstream media attention, in order to avoid overly negative press. It happened to T_D, WatchPeopleDie and quite a few other Subreddits; basically all bans came after they went into the spotlight despite existing (in some case, peacefully) for years. To me it seems that Reddit is totally fine with hosting controversial opinions as long as it doesn't generate press.
Scumm internals and syntax for the sake of nostalgia
No, stating that legal protections for certain categories of people are being abused by others has nothing in common with what you compare it to, it is a simple statement of fact which veracity can be gleaned both from the article as well as from experience for those who've been confronted with some "emotional support" creature when the fad became popular. The fact that the subject is not discussed on liberal channels like PBS and NPR also has no bearing on its veracity, that is just an example of the limiting effect of political bias on what can be discussed.
They were already less cool as of late. Gone were a lot of the “one game per machine” things and instead they just had a bunch of crane games and these “multi-title” machines with standardized controls. So, you could sit anywhere and play the same thing unless it had unique controls/displays or could still justify its own cabinet.
> There are a lot of really valid criticisms of Apple plan here, but Apple has gone out of their way to prevent that exact case.

Not they haven't. The files are still uploaded to Apple's servers where Apple holds their encryption keys. Apple or the FBI could scan the photos for CSAM whenever they want to.
Brave New World hints at this phenomenon.

Mustapha Mond smiled. "Well, you can call it an experiment in rebottling if you like. It began in A.F. 473. The Controllers had the island of Cyprus cleared of all its existing inhabitants and re-colonized with a specially prepared batch of twenty-two thousand Alphas. All agricultural and industrial equipment was handed over to them and they were left to manage their own affairs. The result exactly fulfilled all the theoretical predictions. The land wasn't properly worked; there were strikes in all the factories; the laws were set at naught, orders disobeyed; all the people detailed for a spell of low-grade work were perpetually intriguing for high-grade jobs, and all the people with high-grade jobs were counter-intriguing at all costs to stay where they were. Within six years they were having a first-class civil war. When nineteen out of the twenty-two thousand had been killed, the survivors unanimously petitioned the World Controllers to resume the government of the island. Which they did. And that was the end of the only society of Alphas that the world has ever seen."
I am definitely on the same track. When the gym reopened I tried going back and doing higher intensity routines again after mostly sticking to smaller daily ones. Within about six weeks I had managed to blow through my fatigue threshold and it had a ripple effect on everything else(motivation, ability to learn, etc). Lesson learned, I now strive to hit "maintenance" workouts most of the time and then only do "training" occasionally so that I still experience some overload while also leaving myself some leftover energy. There is an 80/20 type of rule to be had.

I have been applying the "maintenance" attitude to a lot of things as well as exercise too. My whole approach to household matters is informed by this now - I think about most my consumer purchases in terms of the "low intensity, high volume" use case, and measuring what improves my life by looking for benchmarks that would improve passively by having the item. Best ROI here is to spend on storage, organization, and ergonomics, because that lets you assemble a workspace for something much quicker. Assigning some things to a tray or bin can make all the difference. If it's shoved in a pile, the activation energy goes way up, rendering everything you already have relatively less useful. This is true even if you barely have any stuff to begin with!
Not really blog post, but a newspaper article (in 1990s) about GNU project (and project Gutenberg), that radically changed my attitude to software.

Hey! I do not think this comment contributes valuably to the conversation at all. Please refrain.
The upside to doing your own thing is that you set your own schedule and define your own "office hours".

This could mean that you can be there at the times you need to "be there" and work around that: like in the evenings when the children are in bed, and/or early morning if that's more your thing.

I would be really glad, if you could try out OrgPad.com and give us some feedback. (Disclaimer: I work for OrgPad if that wasn't obvious.)

We think, OrgPad has a number of strong advantages above OneNote:

- it is generally way simpler and tries to actually help you and not throw sticks under your feet

- OrgPad has well thought out animations that make OrgPad feel more natural

- OrgPad enables you to think a lot more visually, this has a nice property that if you use OrgPad honestly, it is as if you looked onto your mind in a mirror

- it will actually develop further and improve constantly

There is of course a lot more. We use OrgPad for everything, from management of the company, software development planing and progress tracking, note taking/ documentation to personal bureaucracy.

For more information you can look at The Vision of OrgPad: https://www.orgpad.com/s/VjMKIa7bfnN
For pricing information, you can look at: https://orgpad.com/s/pricing you can start to use OrgPad for free, for extensive usage, you might want to upgrade to 6 USD/ month or 60 USD/ year once we go live with the pricing which should be at the end of this month.
You can also get in touch on our social media: https://www.orgpad.com/o/DGdsoOCsdCzolePMNiS1LM

Affiliate products and rebilling scams solved this problem 15 years ago. You just need a high risk merchant account provider who will accept the extra risk of chargebacks, most likely in exchange for higher fees.

Surely if the risk of fraud is an issue, the processing companies could simply price it into their models and charge the vendor a premium for it.
Still not a great look though.

For consumers, “no chargebacks” is an anti feature. Chargebacks are common by porn consumers for both invalid reasons—-like denying that you did bought porn to a spouse—and valid reasons—like a shady site over charging you. Both things are quite common in this space.
