I think an early step should be for you to simply decide what it is you want out of the conversation. Do you just want private / personal acknowledgement that they used your idea (in part or in whole)? Do you want some sort of public acknowledgement / attribution of your contribution? Do you want a cut of whatever profit (if any) they make? Do you want a share of their company? Etc., etc.

Once you know that, how about just ring them up, ask to meet and say roughly "Hey guys, from what I'm hearing, your current startup is doing something awfully similar to an idea I shared with you on $DATE. Given that, I was thinking it might be fair if I got (insert sentiment from above). What do you think?"

A lot of how this will be received probably depends on many, many variables - including details of your relationship with these folks, your respective attitudes and beliefs about the nature and value of "intellectual property", whatever advice/input they get from the incubator, any other investors they are dealing with, lawyers, etc.

In either case, good luck.
> Those teens can choose between Twitter, Youtube, Discord, iMessage, Signal, Telegram, TikTok, Reddit, Twitch, along with, you know, the rest of the public internet.

So you just demonstrated that teens have so much choice. Why are you concerned that they're doing it on an Apple device then, if an iPhone is just the hardware on which all these apps operate, and has nothing to do with what's said within the apps?
It varies widely. For just me, I'd estimate a two year supply of toilet paper is ~24 rolls. For another member of my household, well, I doubt a two years supply would physically fit in my 3 bedroom house.
Gab and Parler both had issues with lack of content moderation.

You can't expect Apple to allow apps which wilfully tolerate illegal content.
One good alternative is to upload to an S3 bucket with object lock enabled. This way you can store immutable objects.

You can make them immutable for everyone if you wish and the only way to delete them is to close the AWS account.

I cannot think of a safest place for a backup than a bucket with object lock.
New Pixel data transfer? Plugged in iPhone with the supplied USB-C -> A adapter, and all my contacts, photos, calendar data, etc. migrated to the new phone. Took less time than my mom migrating from an iPhone 6s to an iPhone 13.
"I can't think of a comprehensive, fully closed-loop solution right now..."

The ZFS snapshots that you may configure on an rsync.net account are immutable.

There are no credentials that can be presented to destroy them or alter their rotation other than our account manager whose changes always pass by a set of human eyes. Which is to say, no 'zfs' commands are ever automated.

So the short answer is you simply point borg backup to rsync.net and configure some days/weeks/months of snapshots.

The long answer - if you're interested:

https://twitter.com/rsyncnet/status/1470669611200770048

... skip to 52:20 for "how to destroy an rsync.net account":

"... Another thing that lights up big and red on our screen is ... someone's got a big schedule of snapshots ... and then they change it to zero ... you've got seven days and four weeks and six months but we want to change that to zero days of snapshots. We see those things ... and we reach out to people."
I don't understand your point. The browser eventually has to deal with that stuff whether it's in one bundle or split up with the added overhead of extra HTTP requests/file opens. Being able to more easily avert your eyes and ignore it doesn't change that. There's no magic. If anything, being able to ignore it more easily can actually remove the motivation to wean oneself off the kinds of things that are more convenient than they are strictly necessary.
> You can see what our child-bearing aged children think of all this - they're not having kids. I don't think this is a short-term aberration. We're a population literally in decline.

I'm one of these folks. I think it's wrong to blame this solely on COVID. I won't have kids because my position in the United States is nowhere near guaranteed. I have survived three economic recessions, one of which I lost everything in and the course of my life was permanently altered. I watched as society adopted "the internet" and used it in terrifying detail. I've watched as social problems turned into vitriol, anger, and at times violence. I've watched as climate change was viewed as either "conserve", "don't believe", or "innovate" with the latter being the latest focus - none of which have worked and each took myopic approaches to a very broad problem. I've watched as society became polarized on such arbitrary lines as politics, missing any nuance that may occur across the spectrum; almost turned into a caricature of Star Wars. Home prices are higher than they've ever been, inaccessible to even moderately wealthy citizens.

I may not be on the money with each of my perspectives, though I also don't think I'm really that far off. So riddle me this: Why in the hell would I want to add one more responsibility while dodging and dealing with the bullets of life as-we-know-it today?

Elements of both exist in the modern world, but Huxley's is easier to overlook. Authorities need people to mostly not react to intolerable things that are happening, and it's best if you do it from placating people with drugs/toys/pacifiers rather than the whip, because people who are pacified will pressure other people into not rocking the boat, whereas people who are being whipped will complain about it to their friends and try to build up a resistance movement.

Of course when you do go for the whip, you want to newspeak it into something else, so that also works, in small doses. Your problem occurs if it escalates, then you can't hold it down with PR anymore.

So 1984 is metastable and such societies did in fact boil over. BNW is stable and invisible to a lot of people, though I suspect there is some failure mode we have yet to see. Maybe there's a line of thought where people just get sick of every damn thing being massaged to death by PR people, and they do something about it.

Last year when I was job hunting, I did an interview for a small startup. The very first thing the interviewer told me on the call was, I'm an ex-googler.

Then proceeded to give me a crazy leetcode question with basically no guidance or help.

Now, I expect and event want _some_ kind coding test questions. But not some crazy harebrained leet question.

I don't need to discredit anyone, he said it himself.

Personally I think Joe Rogan can be very entertaining, but he needs to stop spouting conspiratorial nonsense like it's equally valid information.

And if you want to claim logical fallacies, Rogan is constantly committing them himself! Post hoc ergo propter hoc, hasty generalizations, slippery slopes, circular arguments, appeals to false authority... his show is a complete circus of fallacies.
My first reaction to this blog post was kind of negative because Master Class is not free. I watched the teaser video and it's actually pretty inspiring. As someone who has done undergraduate Computer Science level Math, but completely forgotten most things about Math except for simple Algebra, I am going to try this.

The cost is €16/month which is cheaper than Netflix. I just cancelled my Spotify recently so this is affordable for me right now.

EDIT: The problem I see with Master Class as a subcription service is... if you watch Master classes on everything you are getting a broad education rather than a deep dive. I guess it's more for entertainment though.
I'll be really curious as to how well this works; certainly it sounds better than the kludgy unlock-with-Apple-Watch solution they deployed earlier.

Really, though, it's a shame they won't just go back to Touch ID. I liked it so much better.
I mean if they are trying to make someone else like me wear formal clothes, yeah I wouldn't take them seriously. I wouldn't work for a company which polices what I decide to wear like that.

But if an individual just wear one themselves by choice, it's silly to judge them for that choice. Interviewing is hard, maybe they feel more confident in a suit.

I feel company culture should be less about someone's personal style/clothing/hobbies than if someone, for example, berates and yells at fellow employees who make a mistake or talks calmly through issues without treating others like they are the problem.
Unfortunately at the this point most of the internet is a scam.

Is there a massive infection rate? My kid’s elementary school sends an email with the count of positive test results in the school each week. It seems like it’s consistently under 1% per week. (Typically 1-4 people testing positive in a city K-5 school, students and staff being tested.)

Is it really common opinion that TT is smart because of his genes? I would think having a helpful and engaged math-fluent father and lots of encouragement from an early age has way more to do with it. You can't seriously believe that an introduction into mathematical thinking from an early age and close advision from math-fluent parents is only 10% of the reason that TT is where he is today.

Well your struggle to connect them is evidence of my point.

Ok, so let’s say Rogan is sharing dangerous misinformation: what do you think should be done about it?
Orwellian oppression is very visible, people work to fix it and eventually do.

At least in 1984, oppression wins. It is a very bleak ending.
Both. They are fictional explorations of human nature. Not prophecies about what the future will actually look like.
"I want you to let Spotify know immediately TODAY that I want all my music off their platform. They can have Rogan or Young. Not both."

Note that the primary demand is to remove his music. He was under no illusions that he had any sort of leverage over Spotify. He lacked the authority to make demands about their podcasts. He did have the right to pull his own music, and to explain why. Which is what he did.

If you can't see the difference, I can't help you.
Corruption is one major problem with foreign loans to Latin American nations.

In theory, money that is borrowed gets put to use for programs that generate revenue. That revenue may result in taxes or may support the treasury directly in some cases, but either way the notion is that the loan generates a return that pays the debt service (or bridges the borrower over to a future cashflow that can pay the debt service of the new loan).

That return can't be generated if the money is not put to good use. As a result, loans that come due are often either refunded further out, or forgiven/restructured with certain concessions. By "concessions" I mean the country makes domestic and foreign policy changes that benefit the lender in some way.

Argentina tapped IMF funds during Macri's presidency despite the 2014 default. I see the 2020 default as a negotiation tactic. It's a little unreasonable to assert that a country that owes hundreds of billions of dollars lacks access to credit -- and if indeed we describe them as lacking access to credit, it's only because they have over-accessed credit in the recent past.

Lending a country more money under such circumstances often compromises their ability to support self-beneficial foreign policy, and kicks the debt can further down the road. It trades a big problem today for a bigger problem tomorrow.

As far as I'm concerned its most damning property is being all about relations but having no easy way to express properties of those relations.

It's easy to express "<something> isa <cat>", but significantly harder to express "<something> isa <cat> with probability 98%". And all attempts to express the later just look like you're trying to build an impromptu relational database in order to fit an n-ary relationship.
It's not cost effective. (Same reason we don't encase it in giant synthetic diamonds or bury it in the earth's mantle)

>The car market is global. Colombia imports about half of its cars. A rise in import prices is going to increase domestic domains and prices as well. And the cause of the shortage is the global computer chip shortage, and Colombia imports those.

This is becoming very arm chair critic. Cars that are produced locally are shitty Renaults, Nissans Chevolets etc. These cars as I mentioned, can't be sold into markets with normal safety standards, so aren't competing for export sales.

Colombia imports things like Mercedes / BMWs and other brands that a different class of people buy. It's very common here to have a market split between cheap local and expensive, highly taxed imports. Cheese would be another thing example of this. Perhaps that wasn't well represented on your chart.

As for the other points, inflation over 20 years. If you have 12 'good' years and then the most recent 8 have been spiraling out of control does that make the 20 year figure a good representation? You can smooth the recent high inflation out over 20 years just like icing on the cake?

If you want, I'd like to take a long bet with you. You win, I'll pay you in COP, I win you pay me in USD.

>Most importantly “In the last week from 08 January 2022 to 14 January 2022, in an age-standardised population, the COVID-19 related death rate in individuals that received a booster or third dose of a COVID-19 vaccine was between 3.2 to 9.4 times lower than individuals who are unvaccinated or have only received one or two doses of a COVID-19 vaccine.”. That directly contradicts your “fact”,

It does? You pulled a quote that compares boosted vs unvaccinated/one/two doses, and that is not the comparison I was making. It's possible that I'm misinterpreting the data, but you didn't show it right there.
Replying here because GP is flagged.... I do not agree with the GP opinion but I think people should be allowed to express 'bad' opinions.
This is reminiscent of the book series A Time Odyssey, by Stephen Baxter and Arthur C. Clarke, where a UN helicopter crew and a couple of cosmonauts from 2037, a late 19th century British force, the Mongol horde under Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great's army and a couple of early hominids happen to meet each other. I remember it as a quite interesting parallel to A Space Odyssey. Highly recommended.
Huh, I was going to do that. Do you think they can patent this?
I learned about and became enthralled by this hobby in 2018. I also know that I will not do the maintenance/upkeep that’s required after every 10 hours of flight for a two-stroke gasoline-powered paramotor. Electric is much simpler.

I’m holding onto hope that battery tech improvements make electric paramotors more worthwhile in the next 5-10 years. The last time I looked, a gas engine gets you around 50 minutes of flight, and an electric motor around 30 minutes.

There’s an airport somewhat close to me that offers training. Probably not worth getting trained unless I’m up for buying and maintaining my own rig though. Wing + motor + trailer + place to keep them in is pushing $15k at the very least, not counting upkeep and training (or an emergency chute). If I had the dough to throw, it’d be an easy decision. As it stands, I’m just hoping that the tech catches up to my desires before I’m too old to try it out.

The premise is wonderful though. Launch from any park or field and freely explore the surrounding area from the sky, without much more than an overgrown child-safety seat with a propeller on the back and a wing that beats the Huffman encoding when stored away. No instrument panel, no yokes or levers; just a throttle and two handfuls of strings and some know-how.
Au contraire, it’s even cheaper than portrayed. Even though a “basic tunic” today can be had for less than an hour of minimum wage work under very comfortable conditions, the price additionally covers advertising, intercontinental shipping, extensive regulatory compliance, extensive insurance, great HVAC, etc.

Yes you can find “tragedy of the commons” and other concerns for modern production. Realize the tradeoffs, that ancient circumstances denied many benefits enjoyed today, that were we to subject workers today to those circumstances you’d be far more outraged.
Is that because Gab has a specific type of political content (IMO unlikely) or because Gab fails to keep illegal content or Apple’s minimum level of moderation (the reason Apple removed Parler)? I would bet money on the latter based on the coverage I have seen of Gab’s content.

Do two countries that share the same currency have different inflation rates? Are El Salvador and Ecuador experiencing different inflation rates than the United States?
Oh ok, well, there's tons of reasons its bad money. Hard money is no longer the law of the land because it was bad at being money. A fixed supply cannot respond to population changes, cannot respond to shocks, external stimuli. A low, predictable rate of inflation is broadly regarded as a good thing - it incentivizes investment and productive allocation of capital. All of the worst periods in history have been characterized as deflationary.

Of course, the sheer inefficiency of the system makes it practically useless as money due to the transaction times, costs and volume capacity.

It's bad at being money too.

The philosophy behind it is a widely debunked model (Austrian economics) which isn't taken serious by ... anyone outside a fringe group of libertarians.

Also it's critical to note: it's market cap is not the quantity of value 'stored.' It's simply most recent price times supply. You couldn't get a fraction of a fraction of that back out without zeroing out the entire thing. Proof of work relies on wasting as much of the world's limited resources as you can within the budget allotted, and proof of stake is simply a perpetual wealth machine for the already wealthy.

Then of course the ability to reverse transactions is huge value-add for customers, the ability to block transactions to sanctioned countries is a huge value-add for the world.

You still have to know a lot of JavaScript to get Angular working. The hope for Hibiki is for backend/devops engineers and data scientists who aren't JS experts (I've worked with many of these types in the past). Hibiki provides the glue to call to your backend processes. You can write "frontend" functionality in your backend code (Python, Go, Rust, Java, etc.) instead of having to write that in a language you're not familiar with.

My experience is that 1984 is much more re-readable. That doesn't necessarily mean anything, except that perhaps Orwell created a world that is more mentally inhabitable despite its grim nature. The little room above the shop is a respite we can all dream of.

There's nothing like that in Brave New World, though I think it's the wiser book.

That 8BBS dump is incredible. The fact that someone realized what they had and took the time to scan it.

If someone (not I) had the time to go through and fix them, that would be awesome.
