A flavor of this problem is what could be called "diffusion of responsibility", for a lack of better term. An individual who defined the measure and then optimizes for it will quickly figure out when their measure stops being a good proxy. But in organizations there usually isn't a single person who both understands what the measures are proxying, and has the power to remove a metric once it is used up, or get people to stop overfitting it.
To clarify, if you were paid in gold, that's still income and you would still be taxed on the fair market value of that gold. It's income that's taxed, not USD.

Same as stock grants: if you're paid in stock, you pay income taxes when that stock is granted, at the market value of that stock.

You aren't taxed on the FMV increase of that stock until you sell it (at which point you're taxed on capital gains).
If it works, it's science. If it doesn't work, it's not science.

That's the worst criteria that I've ever seen for science. Placebos work, but aren't science. And even if you do science perfectly, you aren't guaranteed of success. And most advice that you encounter will work for some people but not others. Does that make whether or not it is science depend on the audience?

No, science is a particular process and methodology supported by a set of norms that enable us to continue building a fact based picture of reality. Doing science gets good results. But science is not defined by the quality of its results.
Yeah, to get 80 x86 cores you'd need dual socket but that may also fit in EATX.

N1 cores are weaker so you should really compare 80 threads vs 80 threads which would be a single-socket Epyc or Xeon which fit into the same or smaller board.
'authoritarian regime' is a slippery slope.
There can be clear human violations, but at what point does a government become authoritarian?
USA has plenty of violations on its shoulders, perhaps complicit in many others. I would not call it authoritarian but it has been repressive (Citing USA as a clear example, not picking on particular politics).
Genocide is distinctively clear from freedom of expression, so by no means should this be constructed to justify that.
A war has many battles, so perhaps in this case there would be compromises.

This wouldn't work for apps with moderate depth but for simple surface-level stuff, this would work great. It always feels like stuff like this would solve many people's problems if only they knew they could use this instead of hiring six nerds to build their simple app. I'm still blown away by how many people don't realize stuff like this and Wix/Squarespace + AWS would fulfill their business needs for basically free.

My dad worked with the Sony R&D labs throughout his career and brought back various Walkmen and other strange devices for the Japanese market. We kids loved it, of course, and put these things through some pretty rough days of listening to our mix tapes. I remember all of them failing, most of the newer models were much too complex and held together with tiny screws to survive for long. I've heard that Japanese consumers are much more careful with their stuff, keep it in the little pouches and generally protect their gear from abuse.
There is no doubt in my mind that the elimination of paper money is in our future. There are numerous articles about central banks developing their own digital currencies. Once that happens, say goodbye to any type of financial privacy or autonomy. I'm willing to bet that during times of economic slowdown, similar to China [1], the US gov't will put expiry dates on the dollars in your savings account in order to stimulate the economy, and people will defend that decision.

Could it have anything to do with the Portsmash attack against hyperthreaded systems?

Has it been solved yet, or are some chipmakers avoiding enabling hyperthreading now as a result?

Texas' grid is the reason why 100% of the dollars I spend on electrical energy goes towards renewable energy sources at $0.084c/kWh for energy+transmission. What do you pay and what mix is renewable?

Texas' grid also makes it incredibly easy for you to get your local solar/wind connected to the grid to sell your electricity back, further incentivizing local and renewable energy production.

Finally, when Texas' grid has issues with big events which knocks out power, it captures national headlines for months on end. When California has blackouts, its just California being California.

Maybe there's more states than just Texas having to deal with the effects of climate change.
Fair, but I think some GC'd languages (Java, JS) end up with a culture of boxed-everything where it's extremely easy to inadvertently throw off a ton of garbage from an inner loop, even doing operations that in other languages would only ever instantiate objects on the stack.
So government-forced wealth redistribution?

I wonder if that’s been tried before. Maybe there’s some point of reference for the outcomes of that approach. Maybe it could be tried on a local basis and then evaluated before a complete overhaul of the largest single nation economy?

If I had to guess, I don’t think it would work out very well. Unless you imprison the wealthy. Then their wealth wouldn’t be mobile.

This would be a great idea to apply lean startup methodology. If it works, we’ll, that’d just be…unprecedented!
> running a course is an MVP and delivering a meal is an MVP.

Yes I too was hoping for something a bit more radically different to my existing definition of what an MVP is.

I definitely agree that it's easy to over engineer MVPs - I'm guilty of that myself, a lot, but many/most of the "MVT's" described here really just sound like non over-engineered MVPs.

Nevertheless, the article is still useful as a reminder to really pair it down to the absolute bare essentials at the beginning. So essentially what we end up with is a "minimal viable MVP"!

I was curious to see no mention of doing any kind of research via some sort of survey - to not necessarily canvass potential customers on whether they'd buy the product, but more around the problem space, what problems they currently have etc. To me this seems like quite a low-hanging fruit to help validate ideas?

Every tool is flawed and picking the right one for your problem is about weighting tradeoffs, that said tools with large well-run communities, the right corporate sponsors and contributors, and enough tenure to round out the sharpest edge cases, are generally "better".

So Terraform and Ansible come to mind. Both deeply flawed, but they become the least-worst current option.

People should still strive for better, test new ideas with new tools, but choices for production code should play it safe almost every time.
Here's a hot take, not sure if it's right:

YC's 7% is the difference between founders vs VCs having control after two rounds assuming good growth. The issue is that the best startups like early stage MS Amazon Google Facebook don't need help attracting access and information. The 90% failed startups get the merit badge which will help you in your future career as a non-founder. And then there's good startups like Roam, which YC is not smart enough to detect. What's left is controversials like Airbnb, which never exists without YC. Are you Airbnb? And is YC smart enough to see that?
Yeah. "It probably can't kill anyone if you watch it like a hawk at all times..." wasn't the FSD selling point.

You can log and debug the inputs going into the black box, and the outputs, but how do you debug inside the black box?
There is tremendous resistance to addressing that loophole. A wealth tax is one way to address it. An estate tax is another. So far a "wealth tax" seems more popular, because most people like the idea of a tax free inheritance but don't have untaxed wealth. Most people actually pay wealth taxes already when they buy cars or houses or a boat or an RV.
In theory, a 3% wealth tax makes the life of a billionaire difficult. You have like a 60% tax rate for fed/state/local. You make maybe 8% by being safe in your investments. If you pay taxes on your income, get that 8% reduced to 6% by 2% inflation and then your left with a 3.6% YoY gain (6% * 60%) before a 3% wealth tax wipes you out down to 0.6%.

But you still don't have to pay taxes on your gains with this bill. You can take out a loan on your new assets at a 2-3% rate and its reduced to around 1% with inflation. Now you don't have to pay taxes because a loan on the principal value doesn't cause a taxable event with the step up in value. You just sell enough to cover your interest liabilities and pay taxes on that.

I wish they'd address WHY these rates are so low by attacking people and companies that aren't being productive with their capital by building things people want. Why attack a people or a company with a wealth tax if they are paying low rates because they spend most of their revenue on building the business. Capitalism is about rewarding good allocators of capital.

I live in Indonesia and have a very similar experience and situation (99.99% pirated Windows) with you. From Mandrake 8 to Fedora to Ubuntu 6. I remembered the time when I got my Ubuntu and Kubuntu CDs posted. The experience of using apt to download and update packages were a mindblowing experience at that time. That and the simplicity of Ubuntu was the main reason that I managed to persuade the management in the company where i work to migrate from win98 to ubuntu.
Gym isn't for everyone, I tried for a long time to get fit in the gym and it was just never fun. Then I found climbing (bouldering), and fell in love with the sport. Trying out different things will help you find something that sticks.

If you do want to run a 5k by the end of the year, I'd recommend you get some kind of smart watch (I own a Garmin), which helps you track speed and especially heart rate. Turns out I'm not an aweful runner and do not hate it, I was just running way too fast for my level. Keeping your heart rate relatively low, which means running slowly, lets you run much further. Also, don't underestimate walking. Someone that walks 5k everyday is probably fitter than someone running a 5k once a week.

Foodwise I'm very far from an expert, but my personal take is that it is usually a good idea to have a mix of all the things, including carbs, fats, sugars etc. Lots of food advice looks for "evil" and then declares the rest as good, but usually it isn't that simple. Pretty hard too eat too many veggies though. And cooking is usually better than eating prepackaged stuff.

Lastly, on the burnout stuff... I'm in a similar situation right now, sport is one of the few things that actually helps me. And it isn't only us, so many people around me are very close to the edge or already beyond it. Times are really tough I think. No shame in getting help from a therapist, or finding help groups or something like that.

Generally, yes, exactly. Zoning laws shouldn't be outright abolished, but they certainly should be scaled _way_ back, especially as it relates to residential areas.

I test drove a Model 3 yesterday and this was something that really jumped out at me. I didn't try any of the automatic driving features, but driving around Brooklyn watching the way the car was perceiving the world around it did not inspire confidence at all.

Tesla's over the top marketing and hype seems at once to have been a key ingredient in their success, but also so frustrating because their product is genuinely awesome. I've long been kind of a skeptic but I could not have been more impressed with the test drive I took. It had me ready to buy in about 90 seconds. I wish there were actually-competitive competitors with similar range and power that aren't weird looking SUVs, from brands that don't lean into pure hype.

Germany discontinued it after it was struck down by the supreme court because it only taxed liquid/easy to measure wealth. Any new wealth tax would have to extend to all forms of wealth and would therefore be very costly to administrate. Successive governments have so far refrained from creating a new version.

In fairness, the "old" wealth tax did not bring a lot of revenue.

I've some time to think about AWS issues. Yes, the WebConsole isn't just confusing - it's worse, it's near-useless. The redesign a couple years ago went from sorta-bad to extra white space awful requiring many extra clicks and scrolls - zero information density. Seventeen clicks to view graphs across 2 services. Another example are the emails - my AWS account is so old that I got one the other day about pre-VPC EC2 instances. A wall of text... with no action to take (since none were running). Finally - the biggest complaint - NO BILLING LIMITS
What do you mean by "nagivation issue"? I don't see the navigation system changing momentarily and then back (that would be analogous to your example). If in your phrasing the navigation system includes object recognition then if it istructs the car to suddenly steer right without any real reason, how could we trust that it stops before hitting pedestrians? Even if in this situation it would've corrected itself, I wouldn't say that this is a minor issue.

What is amusing to me is how well they work for not only meeting new friends, but for dating in general as well. I'm not single, but I've seen so many relationships develop and marriages happen via organic meetings in my tri club over the years, and attended their weddings! It's pretty cute and heartwarming. Turns out getting to know people over 8mile training runs or while on an 80mi bike ride etc fosters great foundations... for friendships as well. Even after moving across the country I have lifelong friendships with some people I used to train with 15 years ago.
