Sort of, yes, and also because it seems like you are already considering some sort of drastic change in your work life, lifestyle and location. I thought I would throw a wild idea out there as a possibility to keep in mind as one sort of path to go down, if you do decide to make a clean break from the present reality.

You say you can't be caged into a corporate job, and if you already founded something, you know you can be self motivated for projects you find interesting.

The following is just my personal opinion on level of stress but also 60-70 hours a week is way too much, in general. I can get more done in a focused 40 hour work week without burning myself out. Leaving enough time for other activities and hobbies.
Most people already focus on the weekly/monthly payment. That has been the focus of auto advertising for my entire life.
Why is the only measure of success deaths and hospitalizations?

As a younger person it has been my observation that vaccinated folks are more likely to get break through cases 6+ months after vaccine / booster. Speaking for myself I got COVID almost exactly six months after being fully vaccinated.

These break thru cases, while not life threatening, are nonetheless NOT fun, may lead to long haul symptoms, and put others at risk.

I personally would like to see boosters available every 5 months for those who want it
I already explained how Adobe could be more clear, by briefly explaining their early cancellation policy on the payment page. Amazingly, it's quite easy to be more clear by using more than two words to explain something.

You're just playing dumb and it's uninteresting and in bad faith, so, bye. Enjoy being baffled about how a giant rich company could possibly be less shitty to their customers.
I work in an organisation that does pitch decks, many incredibly designed pitch decks, all on Google Slides, and each and every point here is painfully valid.

Why is indentation in physical units and not points... and why is that linked to the language... and why can I not do 0.05 inches but I can do 0.05cm? Its all nonsense.

All that said, the collaborative editing features of Google Docs in general are so good, its almost worth the rest of the crud.
Why would they, though? Apple lowering their cut doesn't change how much customers are willing to pay for an app. Developers set their prices to what the users are willing to pay, and then Apple cribs 30% of their revenue, not the other way around.
I had the same concern, but was fortunately able to get all my employees a big raise and a few walked away with life changing equity in parent co. Don’t underestimate the aquihire value of a prebuilt team that works well together.
Exactly 10 on each side --- that's about as non-partisan as it gets.

Did you even read the report aphyr?

Here is what I'd do in your situation.

Keep the house. Keep a car.
Sell off some excess stuff if you don't use it.

Try hire in help for your Saas to the point where your team run the show and you guide them a few hours a week via conference calls (even if it means earning less).

Buy a cheap cabin or beach house somewhere a few hours away from your home. (Can be run down place near a small town, do not go for a rich getaway.)

When you feel the desire to have some space or go minimal. Escape to the cabin or beach house. Keep it really basic. No TV, just power, water and take a mobile internet connection.

You'll find the limitations while being away from your home help your rest well and recover.

At times you'll desire to go back home, so pack up and head back to your house.

Aside from that, take a vacation once a year if you can. Travel away from home.

That's my thought on this problem.

Last piece of advice. Don't sell your home, unless you have arrangements for another. You have kids and a home is a stable foundation for generations to come.

I know people who sold up only to find they could not buy back later.
Personally I think the company should also hold a key. They would use this key after verifying that a warrant is valid. I also think giving out hardware keys with rate limiting / logging features along with key rotation / revocation is essential to reducing abuse.
If your symptoms are milder and fought off by your body quicker it certainly seems like, intuitively, you’d spread the virus less.
The current scientific literature of procrastination supports your idea.

Procrastination appears to be determined by interactions between the cognitive-related (prefrontal cortex) and affective-related (limbic system, default mode network) functions. There is a trade-off between the top-down cognitive and bottom-up affective systems.

It appears that affective processing can override top-down control signals for short-term satisfaction, or worst since the hyperactivity of the default mode network was observed in mental disorders.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/308046561_Identifyi...

Perfectionism could be how the mind copes with the failures of top-down control.

Makes sense, I had an unfortunate childhood, and it took a long time to gain control over my hyperactive affective functions, and I'm a recovering perfectionist. Self-compassion works.
This is a good point and if this law were enforced fairly and equally across all political causes, I would support it. Infrastructure is not, in my view, appropriate for political persuasion. It feels coercive in the same way ironically, that vaccine mandates are. However, I worry that often times these laws are enforced by whoever is in power in a one-sided manner. This was definitely the case in Seattle - we had a socialist city council member who helped BLM protesters break into city hall (a sort of manufactured protest event) but any hint of moderate or conservative protest and you can expect to be held to the letter of the law.
If it’s on the internet, it’s up to the permission of whoever owns the hardware which happens to be all these governments.

I feel like the crypto arena is conflating the fact that they are small enough to not be worth actually stopping with the idea that they can never be stopped.
But but but my free marketism
Allowed by who? The main problem I see right now are social propaganda attacks and successful attempts at sabotaging the evolution of its research and technology.
yah, it's so easy and you still got it wrong. you've listed 2017's version of the average member station funding, not npr's funding. even so, only 4% of that is public, while npr itself gets no direct public funding. note that that 4% is accounted for under about 1/3 of npr's funding, so an upper limit of 4/3 of 1% to npr (if all member station revenue went to npr).

this quote comes directly from npr (see concluding statement on this page[0]):

> "On average, less than 1% of NPR's annual operating budget comes in the form of grants from CPB and federal agencies and departments."

Tie it to existing wedge issues. "Do you want Facebook knowing every time you buy a gun/get an abortion?"
Outlook - Slow, buggy, cluttered UI. It loses mail, especially with shared mailboxes. The search function is slow and fails to find some mails.

There seems to be no real alternative though. All I want is a fast, native email client that supports conversation view and has a good search function. For work, I also require the calendar function, but I don't think implementing that is the hardest part. I know IMAP (or MS Exchange protocol) is a mess, but talking to the server is not the part that is broken for me in Outlook and most other clients. It is search and responsiveness of the UI. But isn't (instant) search basically a solved problem?
One could argue that there will never be an accurate term, and thus hating the term for not being completely accurate is perfectionism.

But I could be wrong.... (Says the perfectionist, letting himself off the hook if he is wrong, which he may very well be because he's talking out his ass)
As emails are not encrypted in transit or storage - none. I know that their business is email, not ads, and that I'm the customer, not the product.

If you have confidential emails best to encrypt them before sending, but that is true for anynhosted service.
> While this bill is strongly opposed by the Internet Society, ACLU, CDT, and EFF, the critiques I've read don't get much into the real "why" behind this legislation continuing to be pushed so forcefully.

The original bill was originally pushed because certain republican accounts was banned from certain social media platforms. It is explained pretty well on its Wikipedia article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EARN_IT_Act#Events_leading_to_...).

One potential reason why it is still getting pushed is that politicians on both sides of the fence is still afraid of the power that social media have, and they are using the pretext of "protect the children" in order to get bipartisan support and getting some distance to the historical events that lead up to the creation of the bill.
The energy density argument is nonsense. The energy density of batteries is perfectly fine for grid storage. The area taken up by batteries for diurnal load leveling of renewables is a small fraction of the land area of the renewables themselves. This is also true of many other energy storage schemes. Even pumped hydro is not constrained by land area in many parts of the world (off river pumped hydro, mind you).

Batteries are not necessarily filled with toxic heavy metals. Consider lithium-iron-phosphate batteries. Iron is not a toxic heavy metal, phosphate is neither toxic nor a metal, and lithium is anything but heavy. Saying batteries categorically have heavy metals is lying. And no, it would not be a catastrophe to build large quantities of batteries.

You don't even mention underground storage of hydrogen, which is by the lowest cost/kWh of storage capacity, much better than batteries for long term energy storage.

Sorry about the emotion, but I get annoyed at the cavalcade of nonsense you people spew on this issue.
What does legally identical even mean in the context of Crypto?

The government can raid your house if someone sends you dirty/darknet/terror money and you deposit it on Coinbase. Bitcoin is absolutely not Fungible.
I have not studied the subject beyond remembering my own childhood and seeing my children learn, but I think most kids are able to grasp the concept of a variable much earlier than they learn Algebra or coding. Variables grow naturally out of categorization, which is something very young children excel at. Once you learn the difference between "a ball" and "the ball" you're halfway there.
The open internet is dead. Spammers, fraudsters, and abusers have killed it. I can see how you might hate me, but I only speak the truth. Once upon a time the Internet consisted of a bunch of anonymous university students and u.s. government, Bell, IBM, etc. employees doing unfettered research. Today the Internet consists of anonymous grifters trying to squeeze a buck out of you any way they can.
Ulysses never seems to come up without mentioning bathroom smells.

The article somewhat dismissively mentions "The Forsyte Saga" and if you want to read for pleasure, that's a good pick. Ulysses (or god help you, the "Cantos") are probably best avoided unless they are on the test.
I wonder how much Aphyr charges for a Jespon audit
What do you mean by 'fail'?

If you like something and make a blog about it, well, if there are others interested, they will read it. If not, they won't. Seems like nice contributions to me.

A 'Commodore 64' has basically zero commercial value, but a super cool fun hobby thing to do. Seems like you're very successful in making cool stuff to me.

From a 'business perspective', your projects tend not to be commercial or business oriented, I wouldn't expect them to go in that direction. Maybe, but probably not.

If you solve a problem for a business that's willing to pay you money, well that's a business. You'll need to get out in the world to find out what those problems are.

Otherwise, enjoy the journey of your frankly very cool looking projects.

You might want to find a project partner on the business side with some interesting ideas but you may not like it. Selling 'shoes' or 'delivering food' or 'optimising ad spend' is not always the funnest stuff to work on.
There is utility to being are to prevent random people and companies from eavesdropping your conversations. Crypto has important security benefits that we can't just give up.
UV light? Not a proponent of the idea (I live in Seattle, corncob LEDs FTW), but it is the only thing I can think of.
I will take that humble advice and do so. Sorry I upset you.
So this is a slam dunk violation of HIPAA, no?

What did the lawyer say?

Edit: I see now that technically they say it’s anonymized. I’m assuming that’s the answer.

So basically HIPAA is privacy theater, the same as we have security theater at the airport now and financial accountability theater and the latest: data privacy theater via GDPR.
It's not my responsibility to believe your unjustified claims.
I started a reply but realize I was just repeating what I said before.

This isn't radical.
Organized protests for hundreds of years have demanded public written concession. This is the norm and what organized protest looks like
Also, while I hear the "browser based" in your question, be aware there is a plugin for the JetBrains tools that gives instant feedback, which can speed up the "development cycle" for PlantUML diagrams: https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/7017-plantuml-integrati... and https://github.com/esteinberg/plantuml4idea#readme

Regarding mermaidjs, I draw attention to the fact that GitLab's markdown language supports it, which is incredibly handy in MR descriptions or wiki pages: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/markdown.html#mermaid
You have this all backward.

> You actually think that the best answer to a network engineering problem is to make legal threats at third party ISPs?

It's not a "network engineering problem" if administrators and managers are the ones making the decisions to provide no reasonable recourse for a ban, on top of actively ignoring or denying legitimate requests for removal. If the third party hasn't broken any rules, then the only resort is getting attorneys involved, because there are literally no other options if the provider refuses to act in good faith.

> Companies with which you don't have a signed service order contract and/or master services agreement?

If you are providing an email service and your customers are not receiving the emails they're expecting, all because you refused to acknowledge a removal request, then it shouldn't matter if you have a relationship with the third party. You've failed your own customers, and for no legitimate, logical or even conceivable reason, other than to assert some personal dominance over another group of engineers that you see as "lesser."

None of this is an engineering problem. It's an asshole problem.
First off, I think you're a bit convoluted with your timeline with modernism and postmodern. Most of what you seem to criticize seem to be related to postmodern sensibilities, rather than modernist one. Modernism attempted to make new, but with a belief in progress and a utopian/ideal vision. Postmodernism in contrast often would have been interested in breaking down long held assumptions, and an inert opposition to grand narratives and a promotion of complex meanings. [1]

Second, looking through the binary lens of 'creation' or 'destruction' is reductive. Plenty of anthropological, sociological and historical evidence seem to suggest that as a species we are capable of being organized in many different arrangements. I acknowledge that marriage 'feels' like a more straightforward institution to enforce with clear benefits to individuals, but I would suggest that you strongly consider that it too has sharp limitations, including aspects of oppression or suppression (e.g. for the more naturally promiscuous) historically.

In general while the assertions and influence of the postmodern project are a mixed bag. They've led to overt widespread cynicism and loss of meaning for many in our time, but they've also brought with them an invaluable tearing down of assumptions that would otherwise be treated as unquestioned narratives of reality. [2] I would hope that awareness of such realities won't lead us down disarray but to an embrace of the fact that there is great diversity in the way we live, and that fixed constructs such as marriage might no longer be capable of solely accommodating that, but might instead co-exist among other arrangements and notions that can.

Thirdly, I would suggest looking into 'metamodernism' which we seem to be slowly beginning to enter. One description you might consistently hear of it is that it's described as if it's an "oscillation" between aspects of modernism and postmodernism. - In other words, an answer to postmodernism's shortcomings and negative effects, while still not abandoning its realizations.

I like Varoufakis a lot. To me one of the more interesting points in the article is the one he makes towards the end, that technological firms have switched from a capitalistic mode of production (extracting profits from markets) towards what he calls techno-feudalism (extracting rents outside the market).

It's always surprising to me that so few people seem to notice that tech platforms, where a lot of human activity is organized on now, to a large extent have completely left behind market mechanisms, instead relying on algorithmic prediction and planning, and replacing profit generation with financialization by either the state or a sort of aristocracy.

I think this is directly visible in the different generations of tech companies. Whereas Apple and Microsoft started out as companies that relied on selling units of products at a surplus for profit and had to pay labour expenses in the form of wages to a large base of salaried employees, the modern VC funded generation of platform firms does no such thing, rather you have VC investors finance the activity of platforms who don't generate profits at times for decades, and derive value directly from the experience of their users outside of any exchange of money, and the value is largely being generated by an unpaid base of workers who are not even in any employment relationship.
I don't think the authors are focused on engineering matters; they're researchers after all. But that's just my guess. Also, there is an obsession with covering the full λ-calculus, which the abstract algorithm doesn't. A lot of energy has been put in that. I think this is just wrong. Rust has severe limitations on how you can write lambdas. HVM has some, which seldom occur in practice.

Regardless, some people did try implementing this in practice, dozens of times, including myself. It just wasn't that fast except for these cases where the asymptotics are superior. A naive implementation just stores graphs/edges on memory, but most of these edges are redundant. For example, a lambda doesn't need to point to its parent. By trying to turn the graph in a tree, I've ended up with SIC [0], which, once implemented efficiently, cut down memory and computation costs significantly. Doing so was tricky, specially because 1. the missing edges complicated the transversal; 2. some upward edges can't disappear (variables); 3. DUP nodes aren't part of expressions, they just "float", which was counter intuitive to get right. Finally, I learned to appreciate the fact that global rewrite rules are better than case-trees for recursive functions, since they greatly reduce the total rewrite count.

So, in short, my journey was:

1. Learn the abstract algorithm

2. Implement it naively as a graph

3. Optimize it by making trees whenever possible

4. Favor rewrite equations over case-trees

These steps lead to the design of HVM, which does fairly well in practice.

Why should we give an inch to these people when they have been shown to violate the publics’ trust many many times?
I was 28 when I got the Johnson and Johnson vaccine last April. I had bad flu-like symptoms for a week, which was followed by 3 months of lethargy, among other things. I can't even begin to imagine how much time I lost from that. Needless to say, I opted not to get a booster.
It's good because it means there's another cost decline for PV that will occur even after the manufacturing cost per watt stops declining: simply make the modules last longer. Nuclear has already shot its wad on that one.

It also means PV is less at risk right now from obsolesence. The shorter the time span needed to justify a PV installation, the less motivation there is to delay and wait for better technology.
The Most Entertaining Outcome Is the Most Likely
I would certainly hope so. FPGAs are also asynchronous (clock signals are optional, you can do pure discrete logic)
For desktops/laptops, what about Qubes? It's not for the average user but certainly an improvement where security is concerned.
Nobody should have to walk common ground with the likes of the CIA and NSA. They should have to walk common ground with us. Whatever people decide, they should obey unquestioningly and without complaint. We don't want to hear about how encryption makes their job harder. They need to deal with it and stop trying to undermine our freedoms. It's honestly offensive that they're trying to regulate this stuff for the nth time despite public resistance.

We owe no apology to anyone. They're the ones trying to undermine the whole world's security and freedom. They've grown addicted to total access and want to maintain their power which they frequently abuse. Nothing will ever justify it, certainly not their constant "but it makes our job harder" sob story.
No, that's how almost everyone would have believed them to work. The definition has now been updated (some would say the previous widespread misconception was corrected) to mean that a vaccine can also "prevent severe infection" while not actually stopping transmission or reducing infection.

The above is what has been used to justify why vaccines still have to be mandatory, despite everyone who wants one getting one, while at the same time, masks and other restrictions need to stay, because the vaccine doesn't actually prevent the spread.

When you say it like I have above, people dont like it, but we've celebrated and mandated a "vaccine" that is a lot different in it's protection than what we would normally think of.

I have all three of my shots FYI. I'm really curious to hear a substantively different take than mine.
If crypto currencies ever get large enough to be a bother they can just turn off any networked machine that supports crypto. They control the entire internet at the physical level. Until crypto currencies come with their own physical cables and machines, and the army needed to protect it from sabotage/alteration, then it’s going to need at least implicit permission from various governments.

This isn’t shadowrun, the digital realm isn’t one entirely separate from reality
