I agree with hooande with two small caveats:

1. If it's something you think is inherently short term (say it's about NFTs and you don't think they'll last) take a portion of the excess income and invest it elsewhere, even if its from the same corporate entity you'll be able to shift to multiple revenue streams.

2. Sometimes with these smaller opportunities it's more fun to just hyper-focus on making the most delightful experience possible, instead of squeezing out another 40% by optimizing SEO and user funnels. I know a couple people that ultimately built much larger companies because they started in something that was a labor of love before the market really even existed (e.g., a podcast app) so when the sea of people finally came they had the most polished offering. You said you didn't really want to focus on growing the company, so this is a happy middle way you could think about.
All this talk of changing S.230 and yet nobody has legally tested what the current situation is with regards to algorithmic editorialization. If Bob posts something that mechanically goes to all his friends, then S.230 straightforwardly applies. But if Bob posts something that is merely feedstock for Faceboot (etc) to possibly decide to pass on to some of his friends, then it seems that the middleman has a large part in the speech. You can't join in with someone singing a song, and then disclaim responsibility for its contents.

If Mary's friends all post a bunch of Covid denialism, and Mary gets sick and dies, it's the same situation as if they had called her up and spoke to her directly. If a small portion of Mary's friends post Covid denialism, and then Faceboot determines that Mary is susceptible to the narratives of Covid denialism and will "engage" more with their site if they repeat these messages to her, then Faceboot is directly responsible when Mary gets sick and dies.

I think that is close to the limits of what is possible to do with respect to the first amendment, and possibly close to the current legal situation depending on how a lawsuit with such theories fared.

The only plausible approach I've seen to breaking up the power of Big Tech is through a US GDPR and mandating open interoperability APIs. The data protection is so that individuals can choose not to be subjects of these companies, and the open APIs are so that companies have to compete for business rather than coasting on Metcalfe's law. Every other proposal I've seen is basically a way for the government to control Big Tech's power for its own ends, rather than dispersing it so that such concentrated power doesn't exist in the first place.
Hyundai Motor closes engine development division
All last week I was lamenting to my coworker at the decline of Google for technical results.

Anecdotally, I googled "the oa wikipedia" last night and Google had no clue what I was talking about. This morning it's working as expected.

It was ironic to be confirmed with pop culture and a Hacker News post.

I've noticed a decline in the last 3 years, and a huge drop off in quality in the past few months.

Another example from a few months ago was searching for "milankovitch cycles" and Google had no clue. A few days later it was working again.
Essentially, a significant portion of "invalids" in Germany that Nazi targeted first were people impacted by 1918 flu, specifically those who were exposed to it in prenatal stage. This contributed towards the Aktion T-4 program, and one of the common long term effects of the flu was among the targeted diseases, outside of just increased disability counts in German population due to 1918 flu.

Reasonable starting point for looking further:

https://fishtail.ai | REMOTE | Full-time | Data people (science/eng/devops) + backend/frontend/full stack

We are a super un-sexy, VC-backed, revenue-generating, Trade Finance automation company (think Pipe for the real world) that's bringing the the $10tn Trade Finance space in to the 21st century.

The problem we're solving

When Walmart gives La Croix a $100k order for seltzer, not only does Walmart not pay after receiving goods for 3-4 months but La Croix has to cover the cost of actually making their goods for a bunch of time (months). As a small business, this sucks hard. Fishtail will lend to La Croix when they get an order from Walmart so they can satisfy demand without tying up huge amounts of working capital. Usually banks will lend to folks only when the product makes it to Walmart (and only to large companies, who don't traditionally need $) -- the net effect of Fishtail is that we lend earlier in the chain to smaller businesses (which is a super duper hard problem).

Tech stack

Our web stack is Ruby on Rails + turbo/stimulus/tailwind - data stack is python/pytorch + spark. We get a boatload of data tracking every vessel in the water/every plane in the sky (among other datasets like every trade transaction that has happened over the past N years).

Fun fact

We have a sustainability-linked trade finance product where we can tie the interest rate of our loans to the sustainability of the individual shipment (i.e. the greener the shipment, the better your interest rate) -- this is super nifty when you consider that transportation is responsible for ~30% of the world's green house gas emissions and there's really no good way to identify the best option to get from A to B.

What we need

We're looking for support taking our product to the next level on all fronts (engineering, data, sales, marketing/propaganda, etc) but are mostly looking for more data people and web people to help us build out our credit/performance risk models + customer-facing product.

I’ve been making a living with drawing for a couple decades and I still have no idea how the world of gallery art works, sorry. I just know how to draw well.
> Piggybacking on this, but what's everyone doing with their 3g phones? My family has like 5 of them that will supposedly no longer have service in '22. Can we donate these somewhere? The newer ones can still install android apps, send and receive email, etc. I thought about donating them to a shelter but I'm not sure if they'd have a use for them.

What would a homeless person do with a phone that can't connect to a cellular network?

Obsolete tech eventually becomes practically useless, even if it "still works." At this point, I'd say 3G phones are a (very small) white elephant, mainly only useful for weird hobbyist stuff or quirky retrocomputing.

I knew a refugee who was given a 68k Mac laptop in about 2003, it was more of a burden than anything. It was impossible to get online with anything close to a then-modern browser (IIRC, too little memory). It made a lot more sense for him to just use one of the computer labs.
You have made it, assuming you can keep up the operation at this level for a few more years.

The next logical step would be assuring it stays that way. You are basically done creating and earning, you are defending and securing it now.

Get help from an accoutant to legally get as much money out of the company as cheap as possible, so you can diversify it. If you want to keep your money, you do not want to have all your eggs in one basket. Read up on personal finance and once you understand how these things work and believe in them, invest in world wide portfolio of stocks through ETFs.

Even if you do not want to invest further into your company, I would consider also switching modes there: How can you defend it? What are scenarios how you could lose it all? What happens if several failures happen at once? Say you are sick for two weeks, your employee wants to quit, but your server just got hacked. I would work on automation of critical routine tasks, failovers, security, backups and so on to make this thing as solid as possible.

If I were you, I would see myself as the most critical part: What if there is suddenly trouble with your family and you are unattentive for a few weeks or months? Can your business sustain that?

Only after I would have created a good level of confidence in all of the points above I would think more about what to actually do with the money. That's a good problem to have, which also requires creativity again, once you are sure it will actually stay there with reasonable probability.

Regarding #3:
We had an FPGA that is normally in stock or at most a few weeks lead time push out to a 56 weeks lead time. (Side note: This is for machine used to in chip manufacturing... uhm, oops.)

What happened then is that the vendor prioritized larger more expensive parts. They use more silicon per part but the over all profit per wafer is higher. It's not a terrible decision, it's possible to move designs to an over provisioned FPGA but usually not the other way. The lead time for higher end parts started coming down, not to normal, but less than a year. Meanwhile lead-times for the low end parts kept getting longer.
Garment4D: Garment Reconstruction from Point Cloud Sequences
I believe he is writing to people like himself who are already shitposters and habitual trawlers at the low-density end of things. He is telling these people there is no point in forcing themselves downward off their natural level of online activity, and that in fact there are downsides to doing so. FOMO is functional in the sense that it is signaling to you that there are costs to self-isolation, and in fact you can conceive how FOMO evolves as a beneficial instinct in a social species.

The question of whether less-online people should force themselves to be much more online than they typically are is not something I think the article even contemplates; at least, I hadn’t considered it before now. I’ll probably ask the author on Twitter about it. But either way, that difference is probably key in explaining our differing responses to the article.
This will result in fewer requests, but the author didn't provide any test results demonstrating that the server load was appreciably reduced. Since the preflight OPTIONS request will be cached, it will only occur for some fraction of the total volume of requests. Since those requests are also very low impact, I'm skeptical that this pattern will have a consequential impact for most APIs.

I was born there. I spent the first eleven years of my life there. I'm white, and got sick of all the "You don't look like you came from Africa!" jokes, at about age twelve.

And no, I've never been in South Africa. I hear that it's beautiful.

The people I knew were awesome, but there's a lot of serious cultural trauma, in many of the varied peoples of Africa. Some of it was caused/exacerbated by colonialism, and some of it is far older than The Great White Hunter.

It's important to note that there are vast cultural and societal differences between various African nations and tribes.

Come to think of it...the same can be said about Americans. Put a New York pizza joint owner from Brooklyn, next to a Louisiana shrimper, and tell me they're the same.

Africa has enormous natural resources. Unfortunately, access to these resources has been one of the things that colonialism messed up. They can't own the stuff that comes up out of the ground.

Unstable governments have been an endemic problem (See "colonialism," above). Poverty is an issue, but it isn't necessarily worse than in many other places on earth (but it is pretty damn bad, if you are used to the US version of "poverty"). Poverty does tend to breed the kinds of people that turn into nightmare dictators, though.

A lot of the issues that people think "only happen in Africa" also happen in other parts of the world. What happened in the Balkans was every bit as bad as some of the awful tribal conflicts that we've seen from Africa.

I desperately want Africa to come into its own. That will take a heck of a lot of things that I'm not qualified to prescribe.

[EDIT]: I removed one line that probably set some teeth on edge. Upon reflection, it's not necessary to the narrative.

The mathematically optimal first guess in Wordle
Writing "wear a red tie" in 1pt email signatures is not just accidentally wasting time, or wasting time for procrastination/entertainment purposes. That's deliberate and he has to know he is playing with people's (professional) lives.

Good for him if he somehow does this to protect the team, but he is abusing candidates at the same time, so fuck that.

When I waste my time on hacker news, I know what I am doing, and hacker news is not trying to trick me, and hacker news does pretend to offer me money or a job.

Figure out what medium you'd like to work in (3D, painting, generative art, film, photography, etc.) and then take some classes on that subject. That will put you in touch with an instructor who is an artist and students pursuing art in addition to teaching you about working in that particular medium.
State of the art machines are used to make state of the art high-value chips. FPGAs, GPUs, CPUs, RAM, SRAM

As those chips run through their life-cycle, their value drops. After 15 years, the price the chips can sell for will drop 90% or more.

If there is a spike in demand at that point, there is no ROI on purchasing brand new equipment.

The demand spike is seen as temporary. Hence, the chip makers are telling the buyers to design out the old chips and upgrade to new. Many companies can do this. But some are constrained by industry regulation (aerospace) or industry practice (semiconductors).

I've mentioned before the irony that companies that make semiconductor equipment are struggling to ship more tools because they can't get enough (of certain chips) to complete building them.
Meh, a lot of people predicted this. Two-way communication via radiowaves had been a thing for decades by this point and the first commercial transistor radio was already in development and would be released shortly. It was not a stretch to think that personal, cordless phone service could be provided by a two-way transistor radio.

Edit: according to wikipedia, AT&T had developed and deployed car-based mobile phones in the late 1940s. So yeah, definitely not much of a "prediction" seeing as a phone executive would have been well aware of these developments.
