Man this hits home... We have similar marketing problems with our product (https://kreya.app), even though we think it is much better than competing products.

Our "marketing attemps" such as using Show HN (never reached the front page) or publishing blog posts didn't amount to much. Posting on reddit did gain us some traffic, but that went over pretty quickly.

We currently rely on organic traffic, but growing this way is just soooo slow.

Please stop. You're just making me jealous now.

In all seriousness, what's driving me nuts is that they say they'll reply "by the end of the next business day", and there's NO response AT ALL.

What the hell are we supposed to do? We've been using the API for over 2 years. It's in the happy path UX. Removing it and creating a new UX for uploading individual photos feels insane just because nobody is there to flip the switch on our account.
Your allegory of the mountain is precisely what I'm getting at.

Attempting the physically or logically impossible, or the effectively counterproductive. The point is to identify a problem, an achievable preferred state, and to work toward that.

Note that even towering mountains, given time, technique, or resources, can be overpassed, leapt over, or tunneled through. And that there are projects which take generations. The Swiss Alps are now laced with roads (rail, cable, and automobile), overflown by aircraft, and pierced by tunnels.

The best heros aren't of the Charge of the Light Brigade variety. They're the ones who identify a viable method and exploit it --- Odysseus and his Horse, Turing and his cipher-breaking tools, Gandhi and his Salt March.

A social change that doesn't need to be engineered ... doesn't require heros. One that won't happen without a specific concerted effort, or which might tip in any number of directions with some vastly preferable to others, do. I'd argue that part of the genius and heroism comes from recognising such loci, recognising the societal magnitude of the task, and searching for a solution space. As with scientific, engineering, and business innovation, even failures teach lessons, and diversifying investments over multiple strategies --- not in the blind sense of blindly inspiring cannon fodder to charge into fire (the Light Brigade, again), but to seek out more favourable options and avoid obvious low-probability / high-risk attempts --- is all but certainly the way to go.

And again: declaring defeat in advance, or throwing up ones hands and declaring that "all is foreordained" won't get you there.

I do advice research (see again previous) and marshalling and conserving your own energies. But not doing nothing at all.

Even slow moving water and the blowing wind can, in time, cut through or wear down that mountain.

Sure, but you can recover from a decline, you can’t recover from a collapse.

From Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societal_collapse

Here’s the definition:

> the loss of cultural identity and of socioeconomic complexity, the downfall of government, and the rise of violence

And it isn’t usually a slow process:

> Societal collapse is generally quick

So for Western civilization or the US to truly collapse it means a complete loss of cultural identity, destruction of the economy, no government and tons of violence.

Even war torn countries rarely collapse because even if the government is removed, violence spikes and the economy stops working the people can still maintain a sense of common shared culture and identity and avoid collapse. I guess it becomes more of a rebirth or evolution at that point.

I think a lot of people see 1 sign of collapse and think it’s a collapse, but it’s actually just a decline or an oscillation.

Do you mean ActivityPub (used by the "fediverse" such as Mastodon) or WebSub (which was formerly known as PubSubHubbub).

The former isn't really an equivalent. It requires being always online to receive updates which means that you need to use a service or run your own. It isn't as nice as RSS which can fall back to very occasional polling from my own devices. RSS is also way simpler with a polling rather than subscribing and push.

In my opinion the best option for public publishing is Atom (RSS 2 is also ok) with WebSub support. This provides a really solid set of features.

The only reason I would really recommend ActivityPub is if you need private posts. Otherwise RSS/Atom will be the simpler solution.
Children's non-fiction books from the library. I got this idea from watching James Holzhauer on Jeopardy. You can get a broad level understanding of all sorts of topics rather quickly. Adult books tend to be a very deep dive into a particular topic.
There's a great video (by Undecided with Matt Ferrell) on a "breakthrough" technology that might work for hydrogen:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7CCq4oBgw4

The gist is that a company has found a way to store hydrogen energy using solid storage film that is compact, light, reusable, and durable. So "fueling" the car would be swapping out a small object (rather like a data tape).
They should just leave the simulator as-is and accept that it cannot be restored together with all the mission control infrastructure. Keep it as a museum artefact. And then build a new simulator from scratch with modern flat panels and a big PC, for people to use.
> “it’s a lot of work” should never be a reason for not securing an system.

It is, though. Software bugs are almost entirely optional: we could just formally verify every piece of software with a mathematical proof. Computer software would still be in the 70s or 80s because of how long that takes, but if security is the only goal of a system, that's what we need to be doing.

In practice, projects balance a multitude of concerns and, while important, cybersecurity is only one of them.

> It’s also invite to solve a problem so it’s not a lot of work. It should be easy to secure your systems from making outbound connection.

This, I agree with wholeheartedly. The way to improve security is to address the factors that put humans in situations where skipping important security steps makes sense.

Some suggestions for your site. Explain what a push notification is. I'm a developer and I only have a vague idea of what you're talking about. Why would I want to do a push? What benefit does it have? Am I possibly already doing notifications a different way that's less efficient/less effective/slower than your method?

Right there are a bunch of blog articles you could write and share that provide free marketing for your product.

Also nothing should be priced at $4.99/year, I don't care what it is, if it's worth $4.99 a year then it's probably worth at least 20x that.
NeXT took a different tack. Rather than enforce a set of requirements and guidelines, NeXT produced a library and set of tools so compelling that only an idiot wouldn't use them -- and these tools (such as Interface Builder) strongly encouraged implementation of NeXTSTEP style. Whereas MacOS has historically been all stick, NeXTSTEP was all carrot.

Schools are that safety net, to some degree. They feed children and provide daycare, after all.
It's worth noting there are good reasons to believe the effects here are somewhat spurious – not "true" improvements but hollow gains akin to "teaching to the test." For instance, the top display of figure one suggests a fade-out effect with age, similar to the one seen with intelligence gains from pre-school programs (which disappear within a few years) [0]. Also, there's a reverse causality issue the authors don't fully control for, in the sense that more intelligent children are also more likely to persist longer in schooling.

As more and more careful studies were done on early childhood interventions, with larger sample sizes, the promising results of early investigations vanished. I expect the same will (largely) happen here.

The thinking has been that the efficiency of steam reforming of methane to hydrogen (up to 75%) times the efficiency of fuel cells (claimed to be up to ~60% today) gives you system efficiency that is substantially better than conventional engines. There's problems with that, but I'm not prepared to write an essay on them.

I've seen an interview with this fund manager saying something along the lines of "this high P/E is the new normal, those companies are really better, more sustainable and profitable than their historical peers"... Maybe there's a bullish case there, or maybe so much money was printed and then funneled to financial assets and real estate.

The predictions from the model all match up in line with the parts of the model predicting an increase in various metrics, but the crux of the model, the inflection point and collapse, all have yet to occur yet. In other words, there would be nothing to prove that this model is any better or worse than a model that predicts these metrics continue to increase indefinitely.

You are absolutely correct. I have been working as an engineer with marketing departments of organisations and the degree to which these two sides can benefit a product or company when working together is phenomenal.

"If you build it they will come" is a sure fire way to have your hopes and dreams dashed on the rocks of reality. Marketing is as important as the dev skills to make a product happen. They are two sides of the same coin of success.

Because they are scared of the slippery slope in questions of nature vs. nurture. Steven Pinker's book 'The Blank Slate: The Modern Denial of Human Nature' explores this topic and the cultural antecedents of naive nurturism.
There was a period, up until the late 00s or so, where it was genuinely unclear whether FCEVs or BEVs would make more sense. Waiting for a hydrogen car today is not "questionable" it's kind of insane. As in, your worldview has greatly diverged from reality, it's time for a big rethink.

To get this through what you have to do is

a) create a Chrome clone that rejects third-party scripts and has other security enhancements by default (do browsers really still need http support?). Then, you can say "Your site doesn't work with SuperChrome!" and shame until they fix it, to reach also the SuperChrome users (hopefully growing in number). SuperChrome cannot be a loose set of extensions, it has to be a well-defined thing.

b) have other services treat sites preferentially: higher throughput, better caching, higher ranking in search results, better user retention. I think this can easily be achieved, because the load-time will be shorter on such sites, therefore users will stay longer, and faster sites are already preferred by Google. This is the "AMP route" btw.

Most companies will not be compliant unless they do one of (a) get consent from users or (b) hire a lawyer to review each of the things they do in the context of ePrivacy, and make corresponding changes to keep everything within the bounds of "strictly necessary". I'm bringing up these 'edge cases' as part of showing that most sites would have changes they would need to make if they wanted to stop asking for consent from users, and that these changes are not obvious and go beyond removing tracking.
Exactly! Especially when they explicitly tell you that they'll get back to you by the end of the next business day, and then NEVER do.
Relatedly, playing a videogame will make you better at that videogame.

Whenever we speak of education and intelligence, you really have to remember the limits and inclinations of the tools you're using to measure the things. IQ tests are a very good measure of how good you are at IQ tests, and success in school is a very good measure of how good you are at taking other kinds of tests.

But concluding anything more than that requires something more rigorous than tends to happen in this area.
Which businesses still adhere to that attire culture?
The problem is, the people who introduced open-plan offices are very reluctant to admit their shortcomings. They will blame everybody - people, technology, environment - but not the idea of putting together a crowd of very different people and keep them in one place supervising them like cattle.

Many people make their employment decisions based on whether the employer offers WFH. But I bet many (but not all) would also accept traditional offices as a decent alternative, at least 1 or 2 days a week.
> Every developer should try to have some part in making sure the right thing is being built.

Bingo. For as much as developers hate technical debt, it seems many miss the obvious way to avoid it is to not build something at all.

It's relevant that there are functional differences because those are not presentational differences. HTML is for content, CSS is for presentation. If the HTML is different, then it's a different resource and, therefore, gets a different resource locator (URL).
Nonsensical or a direct refutation of the idea?
Yes, compared to generation they are very expensive. But so is a hydrogen installation of any capacity. The trick is to have enough of it to be able to level the peaks in both demand and surplus production. You're not going to store days or weeks worth of capacity like that, the function is closer to a capacitor than it is to a long term storage medium.
Tech salaries are far more dependent on location than your race and your sex and this wouldn't really help. In a large city you have factors of 2x compared to smaller ones. Same factor between Europe and the US. Add another factor for California as a special case. These are far beyond influences of dumb race-baiting journalists. There is no such gap in tech as multiple studies have concluded.
> where the highest quality teachers produce content that can be asynchronously shared globally (think Masterclass, language permitting), while the "in-house" teachers can work more as "guides"

Yes, that would be best, but that removes the most fun aspects of teaching (curriculum development, lecturing) from the local teachers, while leaving them the most draining (keeping students on task, discipline, keeping the classroom quiet).
>> Education scales terribly

That's why doing it well requires more money. That's why parents need to be involved, which is why we need a better economic system where productivity increases actually lead to more free time instead of an increasingly Dilbert way of working.

>"Utter uncritical acceptance of anything hydrogen related while at the same time denying everything else."

I think the GP is warning against sentiments like this. It is really easy to declare someone who is passionate about something to have arrived at their stance due to uncritical acceptance. But, how do we actually know someone has arrived at their position because of "uncritical acceptance"? For instance, I am an advocate of nuclear energy and I'm sure many anti-nuclear folks out there believe that I have uncritically endorsed fission without thinking about the risks. But I certainly have thought about it. I am also of the opinion that the current state of renewables is in no way sufficient to actually solve our energy needs. In a way, it does sound like I am denying everything else. But I would counter that by saying I have good reason to hold that position.
MSCHF Fellowship Program
There are methane fuel cells which operate on methane directly. No need to decompose the gas (edit: no need to decompose externally). The main issues are the current methane fuel cells operate at very high temperatures of around 1000 C (built in steam reforming) requiring exotic materials. There are low temp catalyst materials in labs but they are consumable and have impractical service life.

For me, it really helped to have A/B testing in place and literally watch relatively easy marketing efforts bring many times more people than a new feature or a technical or educational post. Marketing was (and still is) pretty scary to me, but seeing it work does ease the fears. Another motivator in my case was spending my own money, which was maybe a mistake, but watching my savings drain while I code certainly lit a fire to try and make things work.

The Axe Men are just a primitive form of government (generally associated with the early bronze age). Government stems from people seeking protection under strong-men and cultists. Everything we have as far as government on this planet started the exact same way.

Only when the public organize against them do you see that glimmer of representative democracy and due process (stability).

Maybe they had democracy theatre, it was not working.

The axe men are filling a void that exists because the current formal government was/is ineffective at securing peace and stability.

People join gangs because, for them, that is the only logical thing to do at the time.

If we get ravaged by a pandemic and the government throws up its hands, for example, the first thing you are going to do is join a local gang, and end up at war with another gang (and be busy helping your gang co-opt the former government if it proves advantageous). I give it a few days before your fellow gang members are raping and pillaging on the side...and a few weeks before it becomes the widespread norm.
