I get the feeling you don't want to drop this, which I appreciate.

The thing that strikes me is that it sounds like the other guys involved in the project weren't involved.

Think of them as your long-term business partners. You're supposed to be starting a start-up with a team, not with a bunch of coaches, an owner and one player.

At the same time, having been an SE, a PM, and a CEO, I do know that sometimes different roles don't understand what everyone is doing. It sounds like you have a very good handle on SE & PM roles, and I suspect you are correct in your thinking when you say that the other guys haven't been pulling there weight. I think this is what you want to dig into.

I'd have a chat to the investor about how he see's the company and team progressing, without complaining about the partners. Perhaps he can give some insight into why he believes in the team, maybe something you are missing. Be cautious of how you bring up "concerns" with the investor, as you don't want to damage the relationship.

A few good things could happen. Maybe you get a better feeling for how the investor sees things panning out, and are convinced that whatever you are working on has legs. If not, perhaps the investor has other investments where you may be a good fit as an engineer.

Perhaps you take the demo yourself and talk to some would be users and get feedback (I'd do this anyway). Doesn't mean you're stealing the code and going rogue, but you want to know what a potential user thinks of what you made. From there, you can also decide if this is a good thing to continue working on (I agree with all the comments that have said you should be able to sell without a demo).

Best of luck

I think dog meat anger is mostly the result of Yulin Dog Meat Festival in China. [1]

It's completely unregulated and the animals (dogs, cats etc) would often be tortured and killed by amateurs because properly killing an animal is harder than it looks.

Dogs are also not eaten for meat or taste and mostly done for superstition.

Got the HDX N95 mask for a con over weekend I was nervous about, so very happy with its test results. First time I've used an N95, and first time I've shaved in quite a while. I now understand how difficult it is for healthcare workers and others wearing these for long periods of time. I didn't have an issue with breathing, rather my face hurt after just a few hours, primarily cheekbones and nose, and I wore it for many hours more than that over multiple days. To know it was an effective mask is comforting.
I'm usually a free speech absolutist and privacy advocate, but whomever is sending that poor woman's parents videos of her torture and beheading deserves to be banned from the Internet forever. At minimum.

It looks like 800k a year doesn't even give you an account manager as the ad refers to phone agents

A monopoly doesn't care, this ad shows it - a business is begging for Google to take their money and is reliant on them. If this happens anywhere else it's an immediate switch to a competitor

Same thing with FB, there are numerous accounts of local businesses losing a chunks of revenue when ad accounts get restricted
I already said this in a different comment, but the difference is that we were not designed while a Swiss army knife was. Design implies intent— it implies that something was developed for a purpose, that it's supposed to be used in a certain way.

Whether or not I use the corkscrew on my Swiss army knife doesn't change the fact that someone built the corkscrew for the purpose of opening corked bottles.

The enzymes/features humans possess that enable us to consume meat were selected for because at some point in the history of our species they enabled our ancestors to survive while others without the related genes did not.

This can change at any point, for any species. If we are no longer in an environment where eating meat confers a significant survival advantage then the fact that we evolved to be able to eat meat has absolutely no bearing on whether or not we should.

China can change directions very quickly. If the CCP decides that more babies are needed then more baby factories will be swiftly created. They have transcended JIT manufacturing. Don't underestimate this great nation.
>The EU, which is where this regulation comes from, has no "monopoly on violence", it doesn't have any army or police jurisdiction.

That's like saying the legislature doesn't have a monopoly on violence because they don't have a police force or army. The EU laws are enforced through its member states. If they refuse they're kicked out, which usually provides enough incentive.
We need more housing at all levels. I don't think mandatory low income housing is a scalable solution and instead just raises the prices on the other units exacerbating the problem. Let supply meet demand.
Again, that's because people aren't taking out copious credit, not that they aren't being offered. There's no data on what's offered, only what's contracted.

I don't live in Davis anymore, but I did live there for 10+ years and used to own a home there. I love Davis. As Sheldon Copper from Big Bang theory puts it, it's my "zero-zero-zero-zero".

While I don't consider myself a NIMBY, because I wouldn't go out of my way to stop a development project, I do appreciate how it has kept Davis a really nice place to live.

I now live in Elk Grove, there are 3 Walmart within 5 minutes of me. Urban sprawl here is ridiculous and can be measured by how many dead skunks, and homeless coyotes you find on the road because farm land and wild spaces are turning into giant air conditioned homes (which I am totally guilty of owning). Folsom, Rancho Cordova, Roseville are the same. If you want to see what happens when Davis grow into a giant city, move to one of these places.

I am not sure what my point is. I guess I am just saying that what Davis is, is not bad, it can be worse.

But for the sake of conversation, if we are going to raze small towns like Davis in the quest of more housing friendly cities, I recommend we model it after Bellevue, WA. They have skyscrapers, and it's beautiful. But then again, that just speaks to the wealth disparity more than anything else... Which is also what keeps Davis so nice.

TV networks have been doing this for coming on a century now. You're right, it's a problem, but one the industry is accustomed to operate within.
> If you think the tech industry is slow/useless/uninnovative at the moment it likely just means you aren't personally doing the interesting work.

Fair, but when I’m looking at the interesting work it’s clear they’re looking for established domain experts, not some guy who hacked some shit together because he was interested in it.

Also, I feel like it’s really easy to target interesting work and still end up doing the boring shit. Take the whole data science thing. How many jokes have you seen about eyed individuals stuck cleaning data from excel spreadsheets, or people who want to be hackers, digging into and analyzing wild zero-day threats, but instead get stuck in the majority of boring organizational/operational security work.

Disclaimer: obviously boring and interesting are highly subjective.
We're on an older version of Ruby so that's the most likely reason. MacOS Monterrey is really new and we deploy to RHEL so the differences in versions can be fairly stark.

I don’t think google search has gotten worse, I think the SEO abusers have just started winning. So much content on the web is automatically generated and made to look just like real hand crafted content. So much of it has titles and headings which have little relation to the search.

I was recently searching for a piece of ceramic cookware, specifically looking to avoid non stick coatings. And google search showed me lots of listings with my exact search terms, but when I click the page it shows their generic product range which has nothing to do with ceramic despite the title saying so.
> the truth is academia is a shelter for a lot of people who can't do useful things.

And that's a good thing, because often times it's not obvious immediately how a particular thing is useful or brings value. Sometimes a particular area of inquiry doesn't appear promising until a subsequent invention many years later.

For example, driverless cars were incubated in academia. Now corporations are using those same techniques. A lot of researchers crashed a lot of cars before a winning combo was discovered. You don't get positive results without a ton of failures and not-useful ideas. It's worth noting that industry was not the one footing the bill here to get all of these negative results. There were no high-level ICs at Google doing this research when it was being done at CMU. Google only started doing it only once the the techniques were proven at the DARPA grand challenges.
E.g., (1) it took us 7 months to hire a (US citizen) post doc. (2) we lost a faculty candidate because HR took so long to generate an offer letter that the person applied for and started another job between when they got a verbal offer and when they got a written offer letter.

HR is completely non responsive and on the off chance you get in contact with them you get one of three answers:

- you're dumb because you didn't know about this other form/rule/policy

- you actually need to talk to X (typically the person who sent me to them)

- the policy from last time changed, or are claimed to have changed
I don't understand why the first answer is even controversial. Sure the 17th century was a violent shit-show for everyone, but the commonwealth stuff really raise more existential questions does it not?

Anyways, Dutch Revolt -> English civil wars, American revolution -> French revolution seems pretty clear.
I just did this at a fairly large company and it feels good... after almost a year of stress.

What worked for me was to point out the issue early, and keep pointing it out to the high level leads that could do something about it.

At the same time with my own smaller group just buckled down and delivered more, high visibility work.

When the complaints started coming in about the other groups I pointed out we could do more with a consolidated team and that design overhead was to blame for most of our problems.

In the end, there were a couple of folks who didn't make out well here and I feel bad about that. But the overall tone from various stakeholders seems to be a huge sigh of relief.
Also the description, readme, and roadmap that was included in the package still passed it off as a functioning library which makes this a trojan.
I've been working on speeding up floating point calculations for the RISC-V emulator used by this mod. The trouble is Java doesn't have full IEEE 754 support, specifically features like rounding rules and exceptions. So to support these in the emulator, floating point calculations are done in software.

This is not a paradox though, is it? One can argue that you sometimes tell the opposite of the truth, and this is one of those times.

I miss Altavista. I could generally either find exactly what I was looking for inside of three iterations of refining the search, or find that it wasn't to be found.

I still just want a blazing fast full text search of the reachable WWW that understands regexes and a basic predicate calculus. Unfortunately the overhead and small potential user base means that under the current regime such a thing will never be made.

Speaking of, if any government actually wants competition, they don't need to break up Google, they just need to force them to offer full access to their cache and compute at some reasonable rate, much like how the ILECs were made to carry the CLECs' traffic.
Chef's kiss.
Not sudden for me.
It has been progressively worse over time, and unfortunately the competition is not much better.

Searching today is not as bad as it was during the Altavista/Netscape/56k modem era, but it is getting dangerously close, from my personal and anecdotal experience.
I'm fuzzy on mulberry distribution and don't feel like hunting the info down, but different species are native, introduced, or invasive in different regions. If you're going for native, you'd want to look into what belongs in your area.
> Design implies intent— it implies that something was developed for a purpose, that it's _supposed_ to be used in a certain way.

You could say "design" by natural selection which is MY primary intent.

What is the appropriate word if not design? Your hands have a purpose even if they were not "designed." The purpose in this case is to grasp things. The purpose of the human body is then to eat meat and vegetables.

The word design flows better than purpose. Take the two sentences:

The human body was not designed to consume arsenic.
The purpose of the human body is not to eat arsenic.

See? Anyway let's not get too pedantic about this. I'm sure you get my intent despite the creationist technicality that the word "design" implies... I am clearly not implying THAT.
While this assumption is correct assuming a functional republic, what if the republic isn't functional? Those low population density areas can easily sustain themselves with considerably less production output needed and less cost to produce. However the high population density blue areas would have a tough time adapting if those big red swaths of corn dried up for them. Ditto for red state energy sources too.

The problem with the blue states (and it’s actually just giant blue cities that make these states blue) in a hypothetical republic breakup scenario is they don’t necessarily provide a viable industry or commodity whose wealth can sustain their demand. Short of wood/lumber, there is not a lot of valuable commodities there that could be exported to buy the food and energy needed to maintain the blue cities, which would quickly shrink.

I think this is overall a good thing. Power users have trained their behaviour to work in the way that simple systems can deal with. While average users ask the question exactly how they would ask another human. Google has now reached a level where it works best when you deal with it in a natural and human level.

There is nothing actually better about the way we originally used search engines, it was just required at the time.

Comcast could have built out service in so many of our current residential areas, but chose not to. For no apparent reason but that it cost capex.

There was so much funding to extend internet access to rural areas. None of the major vendors engaged these funds and used them to provide capacity.

If Starlink succeeds, I'll raise a glass to the memory of Comcast and others.
Rule #1 of Google usage: turn off results based on search history. Think about it, how could that possibly improve your search results when you search for something you have never searched for before? I (sort of) remember the day that was announced, almost everyone turned it off immediately.
