I read this book (or a good chunk of it) awhile ago and something was off about it. I didn't believe he knew what he was talking about. I dont recall any counter examples in his book, or him claiming he had direct experience with businesses matters. Perhaps he conflated correlation and causation. Some businesses are going to profit from war because demand for certain items will spike. But to claim WW I was pushed by business interests is a huge leap (with no other evidence than "hey look, people are profiting from this!!!")

In discussing the realities of LA, SF, and Seattle with libertarians, most of them want stricter policing as a direct solution to the problems caused by rampant homelessness -- which is a result of wage stagnation and skyrocketing housing costs. People with the very most money are free to gamble on the housing market, and to pay people as little as they can get away with. Damn the consequences; those are felt by the people without. No matter that "small government" doesn't consider the size of the sprawling prison industrial complex. Whether or not libertarians would agree with my characterization is immaterial to the reality of the impact of libertarian policies which are tailored in favor of the rich at expense to the poor.

Truly a useful question and a great answer. A nit I’d pick with the respondent regards the so-called force-multiplier of the five-or-so founders. Productive founders are a typical feature of funded startups but their productivity can be attributed not just to their hustle but, crucially, to the nature of greenfield development. It’s way faster for anyone, regardless of how many “x’s” they have, to grind out an MVP from scratch than it is to ship features while maintaining a product that is used by real customers in production. Series A+ startups must necessarily slow down their pace-per-person, it’s an eventuality. This need not have anything to do with hiring “bozos” (eyeroll) or some of the other dismissively-mentioned roles.

Not true. If you google some Wikipedia entry in some language let's say French, you get the result in English. Which is weird and annoying.

I'm fluent in several languages, whenever I search some sentence in one language google makes a translation, sometimes erroneous, and only give me answers in English (or whatever language is set as default). So annoying.

Nice. Wonder why the US gov couldn't do something like that with the 4.5 Trillion dollars in covid relief tax money they robbed from the American tax payers.
I’ve been using this for months now and the 20% offer has been there forever. After the initial jaunt to a webpage for payment you set up a pin. Every subsequent order you text the order, they respond, you enter the PIN, you go pickup a paid for pizza.

My order is consistent and for me it works amazingly!

I really hate the Magic Mouse, it’s the only mouse I’ve ever used that causes intense hand pain after only a few minutes of use. It has to be one of the least ergonomic designs for a mouse.

Of the ones I've seen, they either

a) just pass through 5v from the charger

b) Support PD and have a button to let you cycle through voltages (so you have to be careful not to fry your electronics)
This is an honest question:
As a European having been to the US and experienced using the power connectors you have, I can't help but immediately wonder why do they design the brick like that? The brick looks quite heavy, so will it actually be possible to use in a wall outlet, or will it, due to the flat pins, fall to the floor? If I put it in a wall outlet wouldn't it definitely block both ports if there are two?
(In Europe and elsewhere, the pins are round, thus something connected wouldn't bend out of the socket. Obviously "wall warts" are a pleague here too, but I have never experienced one leaving the socket.)

(Maybe I'm sensitive since I was literally shocked after just a couple of days working in a US office, simply connecting a charger under my desk when it sort of bent half way out. I was really surprised how simple it was to get exposed during normal use.)
Same. Plus this way I’m paying the artists (directly, wherever possible).
I don't suppose you're using an Android phone and tested this in the search bar widget?

You would be approximating a cooperative. You just have a lot of founders.

I'm trying to go in a similar direction with my company. The idea is to consult under the same brand and create small passive revenue streams together (apps, websites, books, streaming).
Earning are split based on the people working on it.
The brand may help sell the individual consulting.
We help and support each other and share costs.

I've seen startups with a lot of founders and generally all the problems started once they had VCs, funding and pressure to grow faster than it's reasonable.

I'd love to have something new & interesting to look forward to. It'd be so neat. I really want a fast, simple, low cost, decent power alternative, that isn't a huge jumble of old legacy specs.

Even USB4, which I love, still has dedicated old USB2 wires running around, because it's just too pre-modern to encapsulate adequately. This fact is a shot across your bow: even though USB-C is from 2014, it subsumes the previous connector. It's backward connectively compatible. The RJ45 & TRS jacks you cite are so primitive, so simple, so single-minded that of course they had no competition. There was so little to compete over, to adapt to, to grow into. A different implementation would have been irrelevant. Except, oh, even TRS/3.5mm audio had to evolve & grow to become TRRS, to add a mic channel: a case where even your immutable forever connectors aren't.

You're right that the time-scale isn't long enough to make USB-C the obvious forever connector, that the time-scales talked so far aren't that long. But digital connective technology isn't that old. We didn't have anything before, and Micro-B basically served & would keep serving, but we want more. I feel like there's an obvious huge colossal truth batting at you & you're ignoring the enormity of how clear, deliberate, & sequential this evolution has been. The fact that USB-C emerged out of the previous connector feels to me like further evidence that this is part of one continuum, that your greivance that connectors can only change once or twice is missing the clear upfront truth of the matter.

And now we're here. We spent 30 years going from crap at consumer digital systems to great, and I have a hard time seeing this as anything but the semi-final destination for us. I don't see good change as likely or probable in quite a long long long time. Perhaps lifetimes. USB-C is the final destination of mainstream computing, as far as it looks, and I merely wish it wouldn't last as many lifetimes as it seems probable to.
B sounds the most logical but even that is a stretch. Whoever hoaxed this forgot one essential thing about radio which I won’t say, because I suspect we haven’t seen the end of these hoaxes. All in due time though.
Standard charging ports are nice, but USB-C is too delicate for power tools.

Barrel connectors were always a bit crap, it would good to have something a bit more robust and standardised to replace them.
Mice and keyboards have always been problems Apple has been entirely useless at.

It's because the usefulness of a mouse/keyboard scales exponentially with user facing complexity.

A Logitech MX Master 3 for example is packed with features a user figures out and improves their day to day. Ditto a mechanical keyboard, and generally speaking those work best when the user chooses the particular one they prefer best and learns how to use all the features. Ditto deskmats and all the other desktop paraphernalia that modern desk workers are figuring out is pretty neat.

This is the complete antithesis of everything Apple prides itself on being good at.

Which is a focus on "just plug it in and it works, Apple knows best" technology solutions. Devices which just work when you're using 10% of your brain.

Apple as a company utterly despises user customization in general.

But discrete physical user interfaces like mice and keyboards (unlike trackpads, which operate fine out of the box), is a problem space where user customization greatly improves performance.
Definitely feels like standardisation could be a solution to the author's woes. Given food ordering places can have templates that fit most restaurants' menus, we ought to be able to define open standards for these and then anybody could make a client to interface with a restaurant's system. Payment is probably the only part that couldn't be made standard, but you generally don't pay over the phone anyway
Oh godz, not those shite winmodems. What MBAs came up with that shite idea of soft modems that would only work under Windows ?! I'll keep my trusty USR Courier 56k (originally 28k8, but upgraded a few times to V90) modem until they decommission the old copper phone lines, thank you very much !

Late versions of MS-DOS are also full of assembly langage.

I wonder if Mr. Young will apply the same moral stringency to the rest of his distributors. I also wonder if his fans are aware of his own unscientific misinformation campaigns in regards to GMO foods.

I think most wonder - where does it end? What heterodox positions are tolerated and which ones aren’t? Especially in the context of something like a broad based music distributor.

And how does he pay for the pizza? Cash? Check (do they even take checks these days?)

Seriously, I can open the Toast (they started off making POS software) for my go-to pizza place. I can look to see if their special of the day looks worth ordering. If not, I go to my default.

Then comes the fun part: payment. They have Apple Pay enabled, so I let them save my Apple Pay token. So even if Toast gets compromised, they won’t have my card number. And I definitely have to worry about some underpaid cashier taking the card number I read off over the phone.
Yeah I voluntarily got vaccinated, before anyone was talking about mandates, and I never considered they would actually happen in a free country. If I'd thought that getting a vaccine (that I didn't really see as vital for me) was an implicit endorsement of authoritarian policies about requiring to show you've taken it to participate in daily life, I maybe would have reconsidered. If we were only 50% vaccinated here, the government may have thought twice about excluding so many people from society.

It's ridiculous that voluntarily taking a medicine (a good thing to do) gets turned into an excuse for authoritarian rule
Could it also be that most of their potential targets use iPhones?
Well, they could measure the biological ages of people who die (or maybe who have terminal illness) and compare it to people who continue to live on.

If they can get the price of the measurement low enough (which Sinclair claims to happen soon), then we can just wait and see: by doing a large number of measurements we'll have people who end up dying pretty quickly. (Yet another way to do it would be just to collect a large number of samples and measure those who die and compare it with some who do not, during the experiment.)
I was at a brewery/restaurant recently. They have a small beer garden attached to the waiting area. You put your name on the list for a table and can grab a beer while you wait. It took about 20 minutes to be seated but walking to our table we noticed there was no shortage of available seating. We also noticed that the beer garden prices carried something like a 40% premium.

I sent Duckworth letters before ( physical too since they seem to respond more readily to those ) for a specific non-party request within her authority. The non-response I received made it look like no one read the letter at all. At this point, it is almost a given I will vote for just about anyone who will oppose her.

Her class is part of the reason I tend to write 'representatives', when I describe senators and congressmen.

> support for tabs

Tabs are not PEP 8 compliant except for consistency with existing code:

https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0008/#tabs-or-spaces

But if you're going to use a tool like Black in the first place, you're already committed to not preserving different formatting styles in existing code. You want to enforce one consistent style everywhere in the code base. And PEP 8 says that means no tabs.

> a personal grudge against tabs

I don't see why there would have to be any personal grudge given the above.

Capital is incredibly cheap. Better to ship and crash fast than linger around. Also timing is everything. Hiring a few extra devs to get to market sooner is almost always the correct bet (at least here in America).
In the context of an investment bank (I’ve worked at both US and UK ones, though they are all multinationals really), MDs would really just be higher ranking middle managers. The highest ranked would be direct reports to the C level. Some are line of business or department heads. I know some traders were MDs despite being “individual contributors” and not desk heads, etc.

Tech MDs, as with tech employees in general, we’re always lower in status than business ones.

Probably the first level of title that is actually meaningful though. There are legions of “Vice Presidents” and “Directors” at investment banks. Whereas MDs are comparatively much rarer.
I somehow still have 25 of these in a lab and yes, they are atrocious.
Ask HN: At a peak of my dev career, I hate my life
As I write this post, my neighbors from above, probably college students, are having a party of their lifetime, laughing, kicking and screaming. I'm not even mad at them, just full of envy.

The last time I had fun like this was in college. I was broke, renting a big flat with a bunch of roommates, but young, healthy, and full of enthusiasm (and booze). Finding friends in my teens and 20s was as easy as going out literally anywhere. When I eventually went to work, I thought my life would only get better. And I made a good career, but in the process, steadily drifted off into isolation.

These days I work either from home, or at best in a mostly empty office. I tried to meet new people at hobbies and dance lessons, but guess what - they're all full of lonely developers and other socially awkward people - short guys looking for girlfriends, unattractive/aging women looking for husbands, etc.

All the "normal" people I knew in the past are now changing diapers and working to pay off their mortgages, which I guess is a kind of consolation. Still, I'm only in my 30s, and it feels like my life is pretty much done. Doing things by myself is boring and depressing, and getting into a group of "normal" friends, of both genders, to hang out and laugh with, seems like an impossible goal.

In case someone has any advice beyond finding a hobby, going to therapy, approaching random strangers, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't have any skills other than coding, so quitting the career would be a major financial hit. On the other hand, I feel that finding a non-coding job would be ultimately the best way to find new social groups, and get out of the apathy

I didn't actually mention free speech in my comment, which (although I do passionately believe in it!) I don't consider the main issue here. If a precedent is set for artists being rewarded for demanding that other artists be removed from platforms, where will it end? How will the line be drawn? How much content will the people listening on these platforms be deprived of simply because of rivalries and the like? It doesn't seem like it's in the interest of listeners or customers to behave this way.

But over the phone you have to talk to a person. When I use an app, it's not because I want to save time. It's because I want to avoid having to talk to people.

English is a second language for me, maybe that's why, but even in my native language I dread making a call to a live person. I have to hype myself up for a few minutes, before I pick up the phone.

Yikes. Pushing IPv6 traffic through the IPv4 tunnel is just bad software design, seems like a bug. That's just bizarre. Incidentally, none of our clients used that. The issue is similar though, but different root causes.
It used to be possible search for obscure model numbers and product codes and return only 5 results, all of which were what you're after.

Now it returns a bunch of spam and rubbish, with the model number nowhere to be found.

Sometimes you do find matches... and the results are just computer generated spam for God knows what purpose.

> I don't think he cares much about money at this point.

I think that is probably right in terms of stuff you can spend. What he probably does care about is relevance and a sense of importance. If you look at anyone with that kind of money, they've got more than they can spend, more than their family and grandchildren can meaningfully spend and yet frequently they don't stop working at their business. One rich guy in Australia a few decades ago made that point and said he considered money from his deals as a substitute for applause.

I strongly doubt Neil Young would be willing to take up a public position that involved a real sacrifice on his part, where he was rejected by the orthodoxy of his tribe. He's had plenty of opportunity to take a strong position and hasn't until this one which will probably lose him very, very few admirers. I could be wrong about that and he could prove me so too.
And is this "healthy dietary pattern" based on good science?
War is a racket. But to imply that the little guy does not profit is disingenuous. 330 million Americans profit from the fact the US dollar is a reserve currency. Countries and people park their money in dollars, and as the world economy grows, there's a need for more dollars, and the US Government obliges by running mind blowing deficits. In the old times, vassals would pay tribute, today, they simply buy US Treasuries. Tribute (or if you prefer, protection money) is the very definition of racket.

Putin and Xi don't like to pay protection money. In fact, they'd rather be racketeers themselves [1].
