Even in the hypothetical case of this law leading to google not providing email (neither of which I think would happen) you'd just end up on some other server run by some other corporation with all of the risks that entails.

You could argue that's better than trusting one service (debatable imo), but you're still a thin client vulnerable to the whims and data protection capabilities of that provider. Even worse, if everyone is using just 3 or so main providers then since you're communicating with people centralized primarily on these other services you're also vulnerable to their security practices too.

All of this is because of a few core problems with the current stack. Linux servers are too hard to run. Modern dependency requirements are a mess, operating systems were designed without an eye toward the web or identity so spam is a problem. You can't fix this without thinking more deeply about these issues, I think Urbit might be a way out. Without fixing these issues the options available in the current system are niche communities or centralized services. The idea of people running their own decentralized nodes at scale given these constraints is dead on arrival. PGP is a failure - even when people's lives literally depend on it they cannot or will not do it.

Trust me, I wish this wasn't the case - but I care about winning more than I care about idealistic purity. You have to think pragmatically about what the best option is today and what crazy changes are required for this to succeed in the future. Today with the existing tech stack I think Signal is the best we can do at scale in competition with whatsapp, fb messenger, and iMessage. Tomorrow I hope urbit gives us a way out.
My understanding is that this was only during the generation that started with the polio vaccine mandates. Because those children got it and were normalized to it, then it became normal subsequently. Prior to that there was indeed massive resistance and skepticism towards the polio vaccine and vaccinations broadly.

Who are those "powers that be"? According to OSHA[0] and CMS[2], workplaces (general workplaces and healthcare settings that accept Medicare and Medicaid funding, respectively) have grave risks of COVID transmission.

In fact, they feel so strongly about it that they've taken it to the US Supreme Court[1].

If you publish your code under a license that says anyone can use it for free and don't have to contribute, don't act all hurt when people and companies do just what you said they could.

If you want to get paid, or you require contribution, use an appropriate license. It's not hard.
If everyone else does that rebrand except them, they look like they're a generation behind on networking tech. They don't want to take that hit, or pay for the consumer education campaign to avoid it.

I think you're doing the right thing: you need to find a suitable cofounder.

My company developed from a University research centre. We built a prototype, and made it available for gratis usage. We built a small but enthusiastic community, and then formed a company to commercialize the product.

I would say we had a decent prototype before starting the company: it was fully functional, but had basically no integrations with any third-party systems. So it was a long way from plug-n-play usage. We built a few of those integrations for target markets as part of our commercialization efforts.

One of my colleagues at our former employer was technical, but was interested in the business side of things. He was able to take on the the CEO role of our startup, while I remained largely technical. I did however adopt the accounting side of things, which I think for many coders is fairly approachable. I think it's good to have enough exposure to be able to talk intelligently on both sides. I learned a lot about business.

I don't have any great insight into ways of finding a suitable person. I'd say that you need to have a solid relationship with them, and you absolutely need to trust them, their judgement, their commitment and their work ethic. I'm fairly dubious of trolling startup websites looking for a business co-founder, but ... having said that, I've seen a bunch of posts both on HN and elsewhere from people who are looking for a technical partner, so I guess there's market demand.

I don't know if it's a good analogy, but ... I think it's like dating. It'd take a year or two of knowing someone pretty closely before I'd be happy to commit to doing a startup with them. Maybe some more intense experience could reduce that timeframe?

Good luck!

Dear Google:

We love you. We really do.

SO MUCH THAT WE SPENT $865,346.15 WITH YOU LAST YEAR. AND THIS YEAR WE WANT TO SPEND EVEN MORE.

But we're having an issue with our Google Ads account and it's preventing us from taking this beautiful relationship to the next level. Nothing major. Should be an easy fix. We just can't seem to find the right person over there to help us fix it.

Please don't take this the wrong way, your phone agents have been great and very friendly (especially Surabhi, we could talk to her all day) but they've been unable to point us in the right direction and, as a small company that relies on your awesome Googleness for much of our success, we're growing concerned.

Any chance someone over there could spare 5 minutes for us and make our dreams come true? We'd sure appreciate it.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm glad you've highlighted this part of the article. The idea that an attacker "has done all of us a huge favor" by attacking the free software community is so toxic that it needs to be called out, even if it was meant somewhat in jest.

If we don't reject this logic, then we'll get more attackers claiming "just a prank, bro!" and "social experiment!", like the University of Minnesota researchers carrying out human experimentation on kernel developers without their consent:

That's an interesting example, but I consider it semantic only. Your example raises the question of authenticity rather than ownership. It it clear as day which wallet the NFT is connected to.

The NFT market is made up mostly of people that got accidentally rich by, by chance, "investing in" (playing with) a new thing called cryptocurrency before it blew up.

Why Do Game Developers Prefer Windows? (2011)
Why would you want your utility provider to provide solar? Electricity is bought and sold in markets. Anyone with the capital can build a solar farm, sell the energy into grid, and allow local utility providers to buy it. If that energy happens to be the cheapest, then your utility provider will buy it. Thankfully wind and solar tend to be the cheapest forms of wholesale energy production.

If you personally want to invest in solar, then you should look for cooperatives that are raising funds to build solar farms and put some capital in.

But your utility provider should have nothing to do with this, they just provide the cables and buy energy to resell to you (exactly what they're responsible changes region to region, in some parts of the world they just buy and resell energy, and others maintain the cables). Expecting them to build solar would be like expecting your supermarket to manufacture every item on their shelves. They may manufacture some products because it makes sense for them to do so, but the majority are made by others.

Genuine question: why is an artificial heart such a hard thing to make? At least from a lay-person's perspective, it's just some pumps and valves, which we've gotten pretty good at making.

I stopped believing in Signal some time ago because of their attempts to avoid taking a side in the moderation issue - their policy is just not clear enough [1, 2, 3]. Moxie advocating that you don't need to trust the servers just worsens it [4].

Another thing I don't like about Signal is how they conduct their development, doing everything in their own private repo and just throwing the code at GitHub to say they are open-source and trustable (remember when the server code wasn't updated for months because they were adding the mobilecoin feature ?). The only way you can really discuss some bigger thing is in the beta testing forum posts.

I hope the new CEO changes some things.

No. there's only two coffee tastes: hard and soft.

Relax, I was intentionally simplifying. I am fine with people deeply exploring every nuance of every coffee, the only real challenge and pushback I have is that much of it is learned.

People think coffee at work (or any other "regular" coffee) is bad because somebody else said it. Not because they discovered this on their own. Likewise, discovering "better" coffee is not having superior taste buds, this too is largely acquired knowledge and taste.

I'd take this even further to say that the entire categories of coffee, wine, and beer are learned. If you'd take anybody from an uncontacted tribe and let them drink any of it, they'll think you're trying to poison them. It's not natural to our taste buds, and instinctively rejected. You actively need to be told and learned that all this stuff is actually very good, you just don't understand it yet.

If it's learned, it's malleable.

That Mozilla used such a title is by itself an enormous redflag, no matter how "milder" the message is in the article itself. As an example, if Amnesty came up with an article titled "We need more than just incarceration" the title itself would be so antithetical to their core message that no matter how much more nuanced the article is, you'd still be able to realize that something went very wrong inside the organization and that they clearly steered completely off their core values.

The point is if Mozilla can't come out against internet censorship, they should at least not even touch this subject with a ten feet pole.

Like what are they gaining here, what does this have to do with their purpose as an organization? It still doesn't make sense even if we assume that they shouldn't just stick to making a better browser alternative.

I've generally people to have been badly calibrated about the level of risk their children faced throughout Covid. But there's some indication that Omicron's reduced severity runs the other direction for children: the focus on the upper respiratory system vs the lungs apparently makes it less dangerous for us and more dangerous for them.

I haven't looked into it in enough detail to be making any categorical recommendation to parents, but it's worth pointing out that this is one case where omicron is not cause for optimism.
The ritual attacks on named individuals who have not (in this context) been formally charged with anything is disgusting and Orwellian.

If somebody asked me logic/brainteaser questions like that, I would politely stop them, explain that if they're asking me that question I'm not a good match for the company, and if they would like to ask a better question, I'm open to it, but otherwise, we can end the application process now. I did that recently with a junior eng who asked me a leetcode question literally with the same exact test data as the leetcode page. I ended up explaining to the CEO that at the very least his engineers should be creative enough to come up with different test data, but that realistically, if "recognize the need for, and implement binary search in 45 minutes" is your go-to question, I'm not gonna be a match at your company.

I had to fight my way into google by doing every bit of prep and practice to solve stupid questions and code quicksort but when I joined, nothing I did in the 12 years I was there required any of that. And I wrote high performance programs that ran on millions of cores (I did know some folks who needed that skill, like the search engine developers, or the maps engine, or the core scheduling algorithms in borg). The entire time I was there I tried to get people to understand the questions they're asking are just not good indicators of programming, but it was repeatedtly pointed out, the goal is to minimize false-positive hires.

I do admire your ability to solve problems like that quickly, always wished I could.

In this case I meant taking an approach similar to this one for bazel[0] that is not limited to only code that works on Linux. It would only allow you to build on Linux and would require any testing / running would still happen on macOS, but that might still be worth it in some cases. Theoretically you could deploy your iOS app that way as well.

Such a good catch. Let's see that with an example.

A startup on demo day raises $25m post.

7% on 150k means it's 11.7 multiple.

And 7% on 125k means its 14.7 multiple.

That's +3x jump on every deal.

Now let's say company exited at $1b.. the difference in multiple is +100x!!

Give that person a raise YC, whoever suggested to go down to $125k.

> Did you just unilaterally decide what the word “vaccine” means? :)

Their definition seems pretty close to that of Google: https://www.google.com/search?q=define+vaccine

> a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease

But to be fair, at this point, I don't know why we discuss mRNA vaccines, there's been traditional vaccines available for people to take as well such as J&J and Novavax. So even if you don't want to take risk with mRNA since its a newer mechanism to use for vaccines, one can take J&J or Novavax instead.
