Pigcat, if you ever need advice for marketing ideas, feel free to pm me. I have a 14 year marketing career under my belt spanning growth & inbound for B2B/B2C/D2C businesses.

I know exactly what it's be unable to come up with the ideas that stick in putting your product in front of a receptive audience of buyers. Especially in this day and age, where it can feel hard to find the confidence or angle for an organic non-spammy message.

I found The First Law books to be fantastic: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/944073.The_Blade_Itself

(You can tell The Blade Itself is a first novel — but the following novels are A+.)

I had given up on fiction for a few years, but tried it out after coming across a thread on Reddit. The audiobooks in the series are incredibly good — in fact, I've recently just been reading anything that the narrator (Steven Pacey) has done in the past.
You make a lot of claims in this thread about Amazon's e-commerce profitability, but I don't think you understand their e-commerce business at all. Physical ecommerce was massively profitable and paid for all the losses on the digital and device side along with part of the capital leases needed to build data centers for AWS for 15 years.
> US stock markets are largely permissionless from the regulatory perspective

By default, every securities transaction in the U.S. requires SEC approval [1]. There is a long list of exemptions, a list which the SEC maintains, that permit e.g. the private markets.

In this sense, the U.S. took an ersatz European regulatory approach. It is obsessively permissioned. It was a drastic response to a drastic crisis--Black Thursday and the Great Depression.

I literally only pay for Blue just so I can hide the really annoying spaces button they added in (and conveniently paywalled its removal). I hope the app doesn't keep going down this path or I'll go back to using the web client and some custom scripts to pass notifications to me.
Well, TiddlyWiki[1] has been going it for 17(!) years. It's a very mature, polished, and extensible engine for wikis, blogs, and personal knwledge bases.

The entire thing (including the editor!) is a single .html file. By default, even images are embedded.

For my ADHD Wiki[2], a resource that talks about ADHD with a copious amounts of relatable memes intertwined with the text, I chose to just use images in the same directory instead of embedding them; so you might need to do some work to download that page (I think File -> Save as.. can give you a readable static version on some browsers).

Anyway, somewhat surprising that people are stumbling into how much you can do with just one well-crafted .html file. Look ma, no node.js, no (no)SQL database, no nothing except for one file for one website (and that file isn't even that large, given what TiddlyWiki allows you to do).

TiddlyWiki can be run on node.js, but I don't see much reason to. If I want to make changes, I use the built-in editor, and then the "Save..." button generates me the .html of the updated version. Save it over the old one, upload over ftp, done. No deployment process to speak of.

And, at that, the feature set rivals (and, at times, exceeds) that of, say, Wikipedia.

(And for math nerds: it supports LaTeX via a KaTeX plugin. Maybe you can't copy-paste your entire thesis, but it's pretty damn close to real-time full-featured LaTeX).

Currently still reading, but will finish tomorrow: "Clear and Simple as the Truth" by Francis-Noël Thomas and Mark Turner.

This is the only book I know that discusses that there are several styles of writing and that exhibits one particular style that the authors call "classic style".

They also discuss differences from other styles ("practical style" as taught by Joseph Williams – my other favorite book about writing, that I like even more).

The book is split into three parts: an essay part that talks about the style, "The Museum" with examples of the style from other publications, and "The Studio" with practical tips and exercises.
What I'm ultimately advocating, as I think I've been clear on so far, is evidence-based criticism of the push in US public policy to force racially-proportional outcomes in many areas. This push often ignores or obscures the science of measureable population-level racial/ancestral/ethnic/geographic group differences, some of which are cultural, some of which are environmental, and some of which are heritable. The link's description of researchers "adopting an antiracist posture" is what brings the point to mind.

I'd prefer it if you explicitly stated your bad-faith assumptions about my character instead of blowing negative smoke signals and putting scare quotes around words like "scientific."
I wish browsers came with some kind of configuration panel for fonts.

Your wish has been granted.

In Firefox:

* Click on the hamburger menu in the upper right hand side (the three horizontal lines)

* Choose “Adjustments” or “Configuration”

* Scroll down and look for “Language and Appearance“

* Choose “Latin” in the top of the “fonts for” menu

* Click on “advanced”

* Choose a suitable sans, serif, and monospace font

* Unclick the “Let webpages choose their own fonts, instead of the fonts above”

* Click on “OK”

Wording in quotes is approximate.

Why is looking the same what you want? Future fonts will probably suit future changes in display technology (e.g. the shift back to serifs as screen density has increased) and/or future shifts in written language (compare blackletter or Fraktur style to today's scripts). If you want your website to be readable in the future, letting future platforms display it with their default font seems far more dependable than trying to control how it looks pixel-by-pixel.

Wow, this is amazing.

In a way Letterman absolutely had great points: you don't need to watch baseball on your computer, you have a radio for that. You don't need access to this information via a computer, you can use magazines for that.

Looking back on this almost thirty years later, what was missing is the limitations and the consequences.

Yes, you could use your radio. But you were limited to being able to listen to certain times, or certain places. And only baseball and maybe a few sports.

Yes, you could get that information, but only through the magazine.

What the internet did was lower the barrier to this. 30 years later, and I can watch esport championships hosted in South Korea months ago, for free, after my kids go to bed.

And what were the consequences for print journalism?

I think you need the same idea for evaluating crypto: yes, you can obviously do many of the things crypto can do, without crypto. But what are the limitations? And what will be the consequences?

What's old is new again! Chris Coyer (the owner of CSS-Tricks) made a site using a similar trick in 2010 and there is a screencast of the technique on the same site as the linked article[0]. He did use jQuery to hide and show sections, but I imagine you could even implement a lot of the animations from back then as CSS these days.

Just read this guy's vita. An entire long life of profit-oriented road rage, always using the law and presumably his connections to go after like everyone else for minor copyright and similar offenses, striving to make this planet a more miserable place for everyone else while raking in for himself. At almost 90 yo he finally got convicted for fraud and rather killed himself instead of going to jail. Not even his high-falutin name is all that real. At some point he tried to get courts deny people the right to even mention the fact that he was not born as a Von And Zu. Christ what an asshole.
> But the solution needs to be multi-pronged. How do we make web content that can last and be maintained for at least 10 years?

I've a boring solution to add to this list to address hosting. It's boring, dependable, and sadly no one will likely ever use it:

Encourage users to download your web pages.

The skeuomorphic label of "bookmark" really doesn't fulfil it's metaphor. Books don't change when you insert bookmarks, you can keep them around for decades, fingerprints, underlines and all - revisit them later in life and no external dependencies beyond keeping a roof over them will affect those properties. The nature of the web as hosted on remote servers is a moving target, "bookmarks" are merely links on a clock waiting to be broken, it's inevitable.

Making lean downloadable front end content is not hard (for the vast majority of content), but unpopular, convincing authors to do it is hard. Harder still is convincing a society spoiled by the convenience of search engines to embraces such an antiquated idea: downloading content for the value of some guaranteed, localised permanence. Perhaps the best chance we have outside of more radical "IPFS" ideas, to extend the existing web, might be to simply build this into the browser, probably a plug-in at first - something that changes bookmark into bookcase.

Browsers can already sort of "save" a web page, they just need to do it in a scalable way to try to accommodate the way most web pages are not built in a self contained manner. e.g back it with a content addressed file system or database. At which point it's feasible to turn this into a simple button without taking up 20MB for every page.
Your knowledge of NFTs is likely greater than mine so correct me if I'm wrong. Pointing to a URL is fine if you trust URL digital signatures. Hypothetical situation: I'm a famous artist X. I produce great painting 123 and want to issue a certificate of authenticity for it. So I post on my webpage X.com/123 a sentence "I just produced painting 123 and generated NFT 456 for it on the Ethereum blockchain" NFT 456 points to X.com/123 and the Ethereum blockchain contains the ownership information (namely that X currently owns it). Since this is on the Ethereum blockchain, I assume dilettante Y can now purchase NFT 456 from me for 1M Ethereum as a single transaction. Is this not how it's supposed to work? Is there an obvious attack vector here I'm missing?

Edit: maybe the obvious attack vector is the mutability of the sentence posted to X.com/123, so I feel like I'm close to a good system but missing something.

Male, 55 with some health related issues. Got it in late october 2020 when we still didn't have vaccines available for everyone. Spent over 3 weeks quarantined at home, 2 weeks with very bad cough and body aches everywhere. The sense of smell and taste took more to get back to normal. My doctor monitored me daily by phone, should things go south. I also had my partner who works in medical structures close to me, so luckily I wasn't alone. She was positive as well, although with much milder symptoms.

After recovering and testing negative, I suffered a bad road accident and at the ER they had to test me again for Covid although I provided the documentation about being fully recovered (and, I thought, immune) but I tested positive. They swabbed me every damn day for over a week and all times I ended up positive, although 100% asymptomatic. This unfortunately delayed the back surgery I needed asap and is likely the cause of other problems.
Back to the Covid, as soon as I could I got the 1st then the 2nd vaccine shot (Pfizer) and probably will get the 3rd soon as they're shortening the intervals due to the Omicron variant which seems to be resistant to low antibodies values, hence the need to be freshly vaccinated.

Fully vaxxed (but not booster); got a breakthrough case. Literally no symptoms except pretty severe fatigue for about 4-5 days. I was able to work normally (online higher ed teacher) but not do much else.
I actually read "Empire of the Summer Moon" first. It's a nice intro to the same topic, and far more readable (weaves a couple of stories together, rather than being an academic work). If you are interested in the topic at all, it's a worthy read.
I had it in late March and I had absolutely no idea I had it. Coincidentally I needed to go to get tested for someone’s wedding who asked for a negative results and I came back positive. I just waited a few days, tested negative, and the. Got a vaccine to get a card for future trips. Omnicron variant so far has had a vastly lower effect on people than other variants. Everyone I know has had it at some point but I haven’t seen someone get it twice for some reason.
I just read this recently also, and I agree it’s a great book. “dystopian steampunk alternative-Victorian vibe” describes it well - it’s a society with advanced chemistry and materials (“elderglass”), but no gasoline, electricity, computers, etc.

We wanted to see who was visiting, but not because of paid advertising. Once I defined the query using the visual builder, it took a while to build up that segment. How long? I dunno, but longer than a few minutes, so I went off to do something else and checked it a few days later.

Now it is built, and is available forever.
You'd also need to guarantee that there are no constants or other non-instruction data in the same cache line as instructions. If that's a reasonable constraint then sure, that sounds like it would be helpful.

> as their coworkers (thereby screwing over coworkers, who are forced to pick up the slack)

Why is it their coworkers responsibility to make sure enough total labor is present? According to you, anyone not giving 100% is slacking and doing something wrong, so I assume their coworkers are already giving 100%. Why should they have to work harder than 100% because management is bad at getting workers?

Responses to “putting out” a tobacco crop
the digital "signature" may entice people who previously did not purchase digital art, thus expanding the market.

It's indeed a "new" way to make money. You cannot "pirate " this signature. As for whether this signature is indeed worth the price being paid - only time will tell. My bet is that it's not worth anything, but it is possible that it's worth a lot more than i give it credit for.

Climate control is a largely overcomplicated system in many cars, using everything from humidity sensors to skin temp scans and then refusing to work when any one part stops working

Adaptive suspensions have left entire generations of vehicles pretty much unusable as they slowly fail and essentially "total" perfectly good cars

Even if they're wrong on one or two counts, the point is clear enough...

-

Also anyone who knows cars knows when ECU is referring to an Electronic Control Unit from context...

It's been a few decades since anyone really got confused by that one.

The ECU in charge of the engine in this car is called the "Digital Motor Electronics" ECU or DME.

They are proper ECUs with a lot more complexity than a single MCU. Every single one is a node interconnected with separate firmware versions that need to sync up in certain ways.

The DME in charge of the engine is treated with exactly the same as the ECU in charge of accent lighting when it comes to manufacturer tooling, the tooling simply enumerates over these ECUs and provides an identical interface to them.
This is in the same vein as the "checkbox hack". It's a great rabbit hole to go down. It's fun to try and figure out how to accomplish normal UI functions with no JS and no page reloads.

> “220,000 Americans dead,” he said during the Oct. 22 debate. “You hear nothing else I say tonight, hear this. Anyone who … is responsible for that many deaths should not remain as president of the United States of America.”

This implies that under Biden there'd be fewer than 220K deaths. Anybody would want to vote for something like that right? Unfortunately, so far there've been over 400K under Biden. But he gets a pass.

> He added: “And so, folks, I will take care of this. I will end this.”

It still exists. And likely always will.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, Biden was full of these sorts of quotes during the debates and interviews leading up to the election. He's never been called out on them. He also, strangely, was never called out on telling the vaxx'd that they don't need to wear masks over the summer, which he then had to quickly walk back, but not before it likely contributed to a much more rapid spread than would've otherwise existed - and also likely encouraged the unvaccinated to stop wearing masks also.
> global digital art market

but that market isnt selling art - it's selling the signature for a piece that is infinitely reproducible. if i was unscrupulous, i could just pirate the art, and forget about the signature, and the artist has no recourse but to sue me for piracy.

how the signature plays into this i dont know, but it seems that i can entirely ignore the signature if i want the art.
