I am going to give it to you straight but my intentions are to give you constructive criticism. The problem is you are approaching this the wrong way (in my humble opinion as a boostrapped founder). If you are starting with "decent exit" in mind, you will end up doing things that won't help you at least in the beginning.

Focus on the "no longer want to trade time for money" and forget about exits. Exits can happen but if you plan for it when you have $0 and no business, you are in for heartbreak.

As a programmer, you can start a software business on the side, TODAY. It doesn't have to a game changing idea or a hockey stick growth startup or whatever with VC funding. Just start. Build something. Tinker. Put it out ther for users and see if it does anything for you. Learn from it. Then keep building. Be willing to fail. If you want guaranteed success, it ain't happening.

"what metrics do today’s business buyers look at that i can optimize for?"

There is none. Every case is unique. Every founder is unique. Every product/business to an extent is unique with its own set of pros and cons.

Don't worry about creating a desirable business. Worry about creating A business which you can run. Exits will happen if you do the hard work. But be willing to fail. Nothing is guaranteed. Rinse and repeat. Good luck.
Safeguards can increase bad behavior because users come to depend on them. Removing safeguards forces users to break that dependency.
Even looking at the real article (https://www.self.inc/info/iphone-price-index/) I can't quite figure out their methodology... it looks like they don't take into account that the first iPhones were subsidized, and thus that the price 14 years ago was split between two parties. I think they're just comparing the end-user price then to now rather than the actual price paid to Apple to purchase the item?

Jesus, it's like every paragraph introduces a new case of "what the hell were they thinking?" Something like this being would have required thousands, maybe tens of thousands of people to all make a multitude of terrible decisions based off absurd assumptions.
It’s their fault if the alleged behaviour isn’t illegal enough.

No one’s going to blame a whistleblower who uncovers someone harming children.

It becomes much more of a gray area if the whistleblower uncovers someone trying to find out what effects, positive and negative if any kind, harmful, long-term, short-term or otherwise, that their product might be having.

Is a leak worthy if no one is arrested or taken to court, and all we get to do is tut-tut a little more sanctimoniously?

I started reading this book a few months ago. It is pretty good, I really like learning while working on a "sort of real world" project.

However, being completely new to Rust I find that the author doesn't spend enough time discussing the language, it's syntax and nuances. It is hard to talk both about rust alongside video game design techniques.

I put it down after reading 1/4th of it. I'm planning to spend some time on a book that focuses on the language first and then get back to it ;)
I see. No, I don't think anything is "unnatural" in any esoteric sense. I only use the "natural" word to define the case of getting the immunity through contact with the virus in the wild because no better word comes to my mind. I imply no positive/negative meaning.

> in the future, just like those who received the vaccine you will need some sort of re-exposure via contracting the virus from another person or via a vaccine in order to maintain your immune response.

I just believe I contact it every day (or every week - I don't really know what the percent of infected people around is) and maintain my immune response this way. I use crowded public transport several times a day (wearing a mask of course), also meet many people and they mostly don't wear masks outside public transport and groceries (and even there many people leave their noses uncovered).

And I don't even have to speculate about this as long as I watch the level of the antibodies.

I don't say I am going to avoid the vaccine forever and rather go get infected when my immunity wears off. I just believe I only should go and get the shot once I see the level of the antibodies decreased. E.g. the Austrian government thinks the same.

Am I wrong?

I pirated (sorry) the Windows version of Space Cadet Pinball from some big torrent tracker (TBP, Demonoid?)some time after that blog post was put up and it worked on Windows 7.

Is this really still an issue? I have a feeling that 'collecting music' (with the intent to listen to it) is probably something that only Boomers, Gen-Xers (myself), and older millenials still do.

(The (strange) exception being vinyl, and I suspect that a fair amount of the albums that get purchased don't actually get played. The records are really more 'collectables' than an actual means to listen to music for many people...audio funko pops, if you will...)

I've got a hard drive full of FLAC rips of my CD collection, which I listen to when I'm at the computer working. (I think I have about 600 discs.) I have plex serving the FLAC files, so I can listen to my music collection on my devices, but other than at the computer while working, I never do.

In the car and away from the computer listening is almost entirely music streaming services, with titles downloaded to my phone when I know I'm going to be somewhere with spotty internet.

My wife is 100% Spotify. My daughter (12) uses streaming services or youtube (!) to listen to music.

Report on the “The Future of the Shell” Panel at HotOS 2021
In Paris, I've spent quite some time in these cafés pre-Covid and the experience had been good and bad, depending on when.

I used to go there with a friend of mine to work on various things we could do with a computer and a cup of coffee

Sometimes, it's very quiet and you can work there with no problem at all, others time, it's very crowded and you lack the quiet comfort of an actual office. In the most extreme setup, all seats are taken and you can't really find a place.

The price was pretty cheap (3-4€/hour) which made it both cheap if you were drinking one hot beverage and a cookie every hour, but definitely expensive if you were just planning on staying for an hour and get an espresso. Cheaper and less crowded than a Starbucks still. The fact that the snacks were unlimited was also pretty cool.

Over time, I've slowly switched to regular cafés which are sometimes not really busy outside lunch and dinner time and where you can have ample place to sit, work, while enjoying your hot beverages.

I'm sure it's popular amongst student as the overall scenery is slightly more concentration focused than a Starbucks. Also, cheap food.
Mankind made it a long way without antiseptics, antibiotics, or electricity. I'm not sure what your point is.
Sounds like you are very new to this extremely polarizing discussion.

This is the direct result of the provision that downgraded thefts under $1000 to a misdemeanor charge. Cops can’t be bothered to deal with most store thefts because in most cases arrests are not going to go anywhere.

Plus store security is not allowed to actively interact with thieves, which means they come in, take whatever they want and just walk out.

As a general rule, tweels are worse for fuel consumption -- they are both heavier and have more rolling resistance. (Edit: weight automatically adds rolling resistance, but so does flexion, which tweels have more of. So tweels are a double-whammy for fuel economy.)
Compact EVs aren't "lighter" though, are they? I wonder if it is the inverse of that - heavier compact-style cars with relatively large amounts of sprung weight.
Same with my mum. It's really insightful to try to see things through her eyes. For example not understanding context like which app she's currently in blew my mind at first, but totally makes sense.

> Seems like nobody can get anywhere near the functionality of Jenkins.

I've heard Jenkins is a nightmare to administer (not sure about the new versions). Seems like an opportunity: the power of Jenkins with modern sensibility.
I don't think that's true. Tech illiteracy was built in to the 'minimal' design of iOS, which influenced every mobile interface that followed. Design today is 'mobile first', meaning the starting point is to hide functionality, then add the barest minimum possible for the user to complete a task. I remember needing to switch from my tablet to a real computer when I had an issue with an Airbnb booking and couldn't find the support option.

It's why there's no such thing as an iOS/Android power user.

The vast majority of users simply accepted the defaults provided, and their ability to understand computing principles suffered due to:

- No accessible file system

- No way to sideload applications

- For ages, no support for mouse/keyboard input

- No USB mass storage

- No support for audio/video codecs other than Apple-approved ones
EVs are usually much heavier than gas cars.
once was trying to help someone get setup on email and realized that the concept of scrolling was new to them. my mental jaw hit the floor at the difficulty she was having in grasping that concept and making it happen predictably. kids get it immediately, but she was in her 20's, so harder to learn. She was so frustrated and I totally got it.

Correct. And decades of research have strongly suggested there's an upper limit to how much you can teach the average user.

Remember: XEROX PARC's GUI breakthrough was "What if we make working on a computer feel like pushing stuff around on an office desk." "Educating the user" required walking three-quarters of the way to what they were already familiar with.

Instead of trying to teach users how a search bar is different from a URL bar, there's a lot of meat on the bones of the idea of just making them the same thing. They look like the same thing. They act like the same thing. Maybe they are the same thing?

I guess having spent a lot of time with "western art music", I've seen what happens when people tried to transcend culture over the last 100 years in what is ultimately a culturally-specific practice. With music, people have other choices, with buildings the effective monopoly is quite something.

> made five mixtures containing the UV filters—the active ingredients in sunscreens—from different products available in the United States and Europe. They also made additional mixtures with the same ingredients, plus zinc oxide at the lower end of the commercially recommended amount.

This sounds like they made mixtures of the usual chemical sunscreens that people already have concerns about, then added zinc to the mixture and found it caused the chemical sunscreens to degrade more.

That’s an important finding but what about the pure mineral sunblocks that don’t have any of the chemical sunscreens.

The fact that you can “declare” variables inside logic branches also leads to runtime exceptions when the code flow doesn’t touch any of those branches, but still expects the variable to exist later.
Similarly, my policy has basically become "find the relevant little subreddit or niche forum for $category" and then read/ask on that. Has worked out pretty well so far.

Especially if it's a product category that gets daily use from the people who purchase whatever it is, it seems like there's usually some passionate people around who know what they're talking about. Only issue is that you can get deep into the weeds on personal preference stuff.

I guarantee that experience wasn't with American Express. My experience has been that Chase has invested heavily in automated fraud management /and/ that it works reasonably well, but they have no real paths outside their strict processes for going around it. American Express is much more personable, at least for high value accounts, and still allows you to insert travel advisories which have date ranges.

Different telephone switches (the big ones in the central offices) have different behavior for clearing the line when one party hangs up. I've heard that some switches wouldn't clear the line for tens of seconds when a called party hung up, and that those switches were common in the UK.

I personally recall people ocassionally being able to hang up one phone before picking up a different phone if they wanted to take the call in a diffent location in the house. Although, I don't remember it ever being very effective, over time (in my corner of the US), it became never effective, so you'd just leave the first phone off the hook and have to hang it up later.
One of the critically useful properties of wavelets, as I understand it, is that they are localized in both the original domain and the frequency domain.

A FT on an audio file, for example, will tell you how much of each frequency is present in that file. Each component is localized in frequency. A wavelet, however, is localized in both frequency and time (due to this decaying “hat” shape). When you scan this wavelet across the audio file and record the outputs you therefore learn not only which frequencies are present, but also their locations in the file.
10-15 years ago a lot of people were saying, that the "digital native" generation will be tech savvy and will surpass everyone with their IT knowledge.

For those in silicon valley or wall street this is probably a downvote. And for those who are fans of bitcoin it is definitely a downvote.
I realize you're being a bit humorous, but it's true 'the messaging' on this can be muddled.

"getting sun is bad" should be strictly "too much UV exposure over a long period of time is bad" which is currently unambiguously what the evidence demonstrates.

I have also started to avoid sunscreens and wear synthetic fabrics instead which aggressively filter out UV light, or I schedule fewer outdoors-in-direct-sun activities during peak UV hours when I have that option.
For the quite similar puzzle Atomix, it also seems like the branching factor would be much higher for backward search because upper bounds are weaker, but you can show that on average the branching factor is actually the same [1]. I wonder if the same argument would work here.

I was going to say something similar

"we can see the Sun even when it is geometrically just below the horizon, at both sunrise and sunset. This is because of the refraction of the light from the Sun by the Earth's atmosphere--the Earth's atmosphere bends the path of the light so that we see the Sun in a position slightly different from where it really is."

“Justice for me and not for thee” at work
Full build with Rollup on all of my bundles for my project took around 10 minutes. IDK what my KLoC count is, but it's probably in the 25 to 50K range, with very few dependencies. I had a lot of complexity in my build scripts to try to subdivide related bundles into individual build commands to get the day-to-day rebuilds down to the 1 to 2 minute range. I had to run TypeScript in watch mode separately to emit individual JS files from my TS code for each module, and then only let Rollup bundle the JS code (the available TS plugins were just too slow), so I had tons of garbage files all over everywhere and occasionally they would get out of synch. It was a mess and it was extremely difficult to explain everything to newcomers.

With ESBuild, everything, all the things, build in 0.25 seconds. Build script has massively reduced complexity, as there's no point in running any command other than "build all". There's just the TS code and the output. I'm still running TypeScript in watch mode separately to get compilation errors on the fly (ESBuild doesn't run the TS compiler itself, it has a custom-built translator that optimistically throws away type information), but I no longer configure it to emit translated code. And did I mention the build script is massively simpler?

Facebook fundamentally makes money from its users liking stuff, thus signalling preferences, so it can then advertise to users with those preferences.

Short answer is algorithmically pegged stable coins.

See UST from Luna as an example.

The reason I like this idea is that it encourages behavior like people arbitraging the peg and they provide a service to keep it that way.

Here is a post mortem on the big crash back in the beginning of the summer and how it affected the UST algo stable coin.

To me this was quite confidence inspiring, that even while the peg came off more than other stables it snapped right back.
