If you looked at appreciation over 20 years in those cities (sans Mountain View), it might come out to less than 2.5X even if the last 5 years it was, especially when inflation is accounted for. Phoenix in particular:

This graph only goes up to 2019, so it is probably higher now, but that is one heck of a drop.

Also, it isn't strange that a lower cost market appreciates faster than a higher price one. If say houses were $100k in Phoenix after the crash in 2008, now they are $400k, that is 4X! At the same time, a $1 million dollar house in Boston after the crash is only $1.4 or 1.5 million now, only 1.5X.

Or all sorts of things you cannot publicly admit to without undermining your reputation.

For example, say that you have a resume packed with awards. The secret to getting nominations for awards and scholarships is usually to write it yourself and send it to a friend/teacher/colleague for signature, not waiting around hoping that someone deems you worthy.

As most wait for someone to deem them worthy, many awards are less competitive than they appear to be.

But you could never admit to this, as it would devalue you in the eyes of others.
Even if you are an early stage company, you've still got to have something resembling the concept of a balance sheet, even if it's an excel spreadsheet with a list of two computers, a bank account, and an AWS bill that hasn't been paid yet. Maybe he's right that he personally has never read a balance sheet, but for literally any company that has already formed before the investment, they would be extremely foolish to overlook it.

I've personally seen A-rounds fall through because of balance sheets...turns out that when you promise hundreds of thousands of dollars in future services in exchange for a little bit of present cash flow, it can drastically affect your balance sheet and prospects for future investment.

> How do you read the room when trying to pitch something or speak persuasively in a more than 1on1 setting over zoom? The real answer is “you can’t“.

I really encourage you to spend some time in a youth community if you can't come up with answers to theses questions. The answer is, you don't. You pitched the thing already in a group chat. People either reacted with dozens of emoji and filled reply threads with "let's talk about this..." or they didn't and your pitch died on the vine. In more formal environments, pitches are usually in an RFC-like format and feedback is via comments on that doc (or Github issue, bug tracker, whatever-they-have-in-Jira)

Speaking persuasively in a one-on-one Discord video chat is identical to in person, or it is for people who don't feel awkward on video chat to begin with.

The design discussion thing, where the back and forth is purely technical, again just doesn't happen in video conferences. Meetings themselves were a shit format for this as well, all of this is done in dedicated group chats (Discord/Slack/Teams/whatever) where people can reference and link documentation readily and on their own time. Schedules are managed via shared calendars. Private discussions are taken to DMs.

Traditional conference-type meetings are for very specific topics, typically emergencies or something happening in real time where the pace of events lends value to being able to shout something quickly into a mic. Basically the same reason video games use voice chat. Sometimes there will be a monthly touch-base or whatever but I saw a lot of those get phased out during the pandemic because people realized that nothing new was getting put out over them.

One-sided teleconferences, where you're just dialing in to listen to a presentation of something and maybe a little Q&A, work identically to someone standing at the front of an auditorium giving a presentation. I present in a similar format weekly as part of a training program and the only difference is I get to sit down instead of standing at a podium.

All that said, I've been in a video chat with a dozen recent grads and they didn't slow down for a beat or appear to have an trouble reading one another. I cannot emphasize enough that you and I struggling with this doesn't mean anything was lost, just that we're getting older and the world keeps on spinning.

Does Facebook, as a product, even has userbase for this?

I find it weird that they used this branding. For some time now, FB has the "old people social media" label. Also would they create a new brand (or MetaPay or whatever), some people might not connect it to Zuck's trash mentality, morality and overall creepiness.

I wouldn't be surprised if folks working at Meta consider themselves the good guys, like Google cultists do. But I was under the impression that FB->Meta name change was due to public's completely trashed opinion on Facebook.
There were computers, whether at home or at the university. But playing with clever humans is much more challenging and rewarding than playing against a computer. That hasn't changed.
I don't think it's the same. That proposal seems to be be an intermediate format that VHDL and Verilog (and things like MyHDL/SpinalHDL). The FPGA Interchange Format seems to tackle a more compelling challenge: A format for defining the routed (or maybe partially-routed) design (actually, it seems like a general-purpose netlist that can describe the FPGA before and also after place & route).
FB marketplace is pretty much the goto place for most people. For the most parts its valid users.
This is both unsurprising and get incredibly relieving. Had this actually gone through, it would have been a nightmare.
Nim can run almost any code (that doesn’t interface with C FFI) at compile time, since in addition to a compiler they have a bytecode VM that executes a large subset of the language. (https://nim-lang.org/docs/nims.html) Really cool stuff, the only other language that I’ve seen doing this approach is Jai, which is sadly still in closed development. (Jai’s CTE is much grander in scope, in that it would be able to do anything normal code can do.)

C++ (gcc and clang) and D’s compile-time evaluation is a bit more limited in scope, and still uses a tree-walk interpreter, although D might also migrate to a bytecode VM someday (https://dlang.org/blog/2017/04/10/the-new-ctfe-engine/)
> Re: HTTP/1.1 is the worst

Technically, this could have been mapped with an additional header alone.

Something like HTTP/1.2 that features a header like Transfer-Request-Id: 13337

While I agree with the sequential pipelining case I'd argue with the abuse from the other perspective. Clients have now much more power to re-request things in a suboptimal order, because the server still accepts it.

There's no cryptographic signatures on buffers that could allow a dictionary on what has been sent already, and what has not, which would fix the issues that a client can re-prioritize and re-request resources that will drain the server.

The beauty of HTTP/1.1 (apart from slowloris) was its simplicity and cacheability for reverse proxies.

Now with H2 shit can hit the fan real quic once a new LOIC comes out because it has a whole new attack surface for DDoS scenarios, where even a single client can take down a server in those circumstances (aka when a server blindly accepts re prioritization requests).

But I would agree that HTTP/1.1 isn't good when it comes to transport hop specific headers (everything Transfer-...) because they allow crafted packets like HTTP smuggling that can trick a reverse proxy and backend because there's no way to validate the packets on a lower level when it comes to their Origin.

This is something I would've hoped SPDY/QUIC would address, because they are a real security risk embedded into the nature of the protocol.
It makes complete sense. I come from a geographic area where the immediate response to my job description is "here's my startup idea". There have been very few I feel passionate about and want to get involved. The rest I ask for a contract few and my counter is always $0 and a partnershie of ownership.
I personally run a MITM proxy and force everything on the network through it.

If you can't inpect --- and alter --- what your devices are sending and receiving, it's not yours.

Big Tech seems to be on a race to own the Internet through increasing complexity and "upgrade treadmilling", and I block everything except HTTP 1.1 and 1.0 as a form of protest.

You probably have more agency to change a corporation, if it isn’t a mega corporation. Mega corporations, good luck, unless you have lots of money or influence.

Ok government is definitely just a mega corp. the other lesser mega corps have some influence, but not us peons.

In the US, maybe we citizens would have a slight chance at having influence if we eliminated the 17th amendment.
Recording it in some form (written or otherwise) seems useful if you need to share it with lots of other people.

I've never thought about having kids run a linux box, but as a non-linux daily driver I think it'd be quite interesting.

Looking back on my youth I think I'd be concerned with my kids installing bloatware, malware, etc. I feel like that whole genre of software would be much more challenging to install, which leaves me at two outcomes:

1) They don't install bloatware/malware. Excellent!
2) They figure out how to install bloatware/malware. Still pretty great as that means they are learning their environment.

I think being technically literate with your daily driver computer is crucial to daily success, so either way I think kids would do fine.

And that two guys with laptops in a cheap apartment in mountain view might be a majority of the cases they see, but how will they know unless they see it? I've seen plenty of fake-it-til-you-make-it startups that immediately go out an sign a lease for AAA office space because they think they need a cool office before anybody will take them seriously. And that is a massive red flag to a VC...one that shows up on a balance sheet.

For an early stage company, nobody cares about your assets or your shit estimates of the value of your intellectual property or goodwill. But payables and receivables can definitely be a dealbreaker, and I've never known a single VC that would sign a check without an understanding of where the company, no matter how new, stands with them.
We need to stop treating people as unfallible. I used to idolize so many people when young. I still respect a lot, but now I understand that everyone is human and everyone has differing motivations, especially people in power.

>By focusing on the only architecture type in mainstream use on the market today, namely island-based (also called tile-based) FPGAs, the standard reaches a level of universality and conciseness, which makes it easy to work with, adopt, and implement.

Somewhat strange if someone can't see the value in that, they are displacing more harmful sources of cryptocurrency hashing, while also creating value out of waste. They are also giving fracking and drilling companies a reason to rein in fugitive emissions of methane which plague the industry.
I’m worried about the compile-time performance though. C++ compilers currently use direct tree-walking on the AST to interpret code, which is going to be horrendously slow once you go past a certain number of elements.
That’s because HTTP/2 broke every capability that was not used by Google.

NTLM auth… broken.

Client cert auth (mTLS)… broken.

Etc…

Monopolies are dangerous because they can accidentally lock out their competition without even trying.

They just have to focus on their own problems and ignore other people’s problems… because they can.

E-commerce (mostly for IG) and payments (mostly for WA, somewhat for Messenger) have been parts of the Facebook bull case for a long time. Why do people think companies of >70k people can't focus on more than one product/service? Not you in particular, just generally, I spend more time than I'd like to admit on "fin-Twit" and people expect FB has suddenly buried every plan aside of VR since they rebranded. I would say however the spaghetti analogy is a bit dismissive considering that, when their projects do "stick to the wall", they spawn business-lines with 10 digit users.

Not that I have any objection to the hive mind thinking Reels and VR is the end-all be-all, I want it to think it's a dead business.
Or spawn a VM for each site, destroy when done.
For what it's worth, I clicked some links on the posted page and the first datasheet I opened was for a 10base-T1 transceiver. So I believe this "single pair ethernet" encompasses both T1 and T1L, with L probably standing for "long distance". It's confusing but it is nice to have a family of standards that hopefully work the same, but have different physical layer for different use cases.
I feel like this is something that’s really important to you for some reason, and as such you’re getting more wound up about it than necessary.

Yes, companies need to mindful of their finances and cashflows. Everyone knows that, PG included, as I conveyed in another comment.

The real point that PG is making here is that an early stage company with perfect books but no exciting product or market opportunity is dead, whereas one with incomplete bookkeeping but an incredible product and market opportunity is much more likely to be a good investment.
We need to take a step back and remember that Facebook paid for a 0 day exploit in the Tails OS to catch a criminal [1]. Note, I'm not commenting on the morality of this, I'm only commenting that one can never really be "secure" even if using the most secure of protocols. FWIW, this is an interesting read.

I have seen some Chinese monocrystalline modules being offered with 30 year warranties. This means with < 1% annual degradation (as specified in warranty) no reason well maintained installation can last even longer. I think life of a silicon based cell is no longer an issue, it is the perovskites that are a problem. If perovskites can be made to last longer, we can have very good tandem cells. Another issue is the thin film printed cells, which if they can last even a decade may become a game changer if can be manufactured cheaply enough and have > 10% efficiency.

You're right: NYNEX existed from 1984 (breakup of Bell System) to 1997. But Bell Atlantic was also an RBOC created in 1984. The two companies merged in 1997, with the resulting company being called Bell Atlantic (which was when NY's phone company became Bell Atlantic). Finally, Bell Atlantic acquired GTE in 2000 to form Verizon.[1]
