Having a sales team incentivized to the extent where it can demand engineering time for features that are specific to one customer -- and not benefit the product and customer-base long term -- is not too dissimilar to an organizational software security vulnerability.

You have to build the organization to be resilient to the types of incoming requests that it will receive. Some sales leads could -- intentionally or accidentally -- lead your organization and product down a path that limits future potential or causes cultural damage.

One of the ways to counter this is simply to spend more time collecting requirements and discussing the topic both internally and externally. Benevolent partners shouldn't want to rush to determine the shape of a feature.

Another slightly-less common counter would be to make the entire process more transparent. That could be difficult for some partners who might want to collaborate on the basis of creating a unique advantage that they'd like to achieve ahead of competitors. However, increasingly, I think that the cost to hide or obscure such plans is becoming greater than the benefits.

(and yep, none of this suggests anything about whether product manager roles are required or not: I think that's more to do with the size of the organization and whether specialization is required. my point is mostly that, regardless of scale, the organization needs to guard itself against misaligned incentives)

I am doing some experiments with NR (no Sinclair in the business chain AFAIK) and pterostilbene and my ability to exercise has improved noticeably. I am 43 and I used to be fairly sore after a strenuous 60 minute exercise - especially my sinews were bad. This wasn't getting any better with more exercise, actually it was slowly getting worse with age, to the degree that I wasn't able to exercise in two consecutive days and sometimes I had to wait until the third day to go to the gym again. (To be clear, I am neither fat nor riddled with any serious disease.)

Nowadays the small pains and aches go away in a few hours, like when I was some 15 years younger. But if I stop the supplementation, the situation reverts to the old bad standard within a month or so.

I also noticed some effect on my visual acuity.

I know this is N == 1, hard to measure precisely and subject to a possible placebo effect.
This is exactly what they are doing.
Not quite. You can discover one of the many addresses that are typically part of Bitcoin wallet. As for the history, you can't really tell much, especially if the person didn't re-use addresses which is the recommended mode of operation.
That's fine if you find it at the 'original' URL, but if you find it in some random place somewhere else there's no internal information on the timeframe.
Seems as though your mind is made up and your questions are not for gaining understanding
> basically rust without semicolons or the borrow checker

The thread spells out OCaml as the main inspiration for Rust, and fits the "without the borrow checker" part. Plenty of semicolons in it, however. F# offers a similar experience with fewer semi-colons, but I can't see how removing semi-colons help make the language more accessible.
So if we can’t fix people that easily once they get addicted to drugs, let’s spend most of our resources trying to prevent addiction in the first place. I’m all for throwing a ton of resources at at-risk kids and making addiction prevention during hospitalizations a number one priority. It’s just that the problem becomes too hard to solve once the damage is done, so focus on avoiding the damage.

And now you know the secret of all those European countries that have less crime and drug problems than we do.
One day it will be impossible to commit a crime, large or small without getting caught. Everything will be recorded and subjected to the same detached, beauracratic process. I can't think of a more Orwellian yet likely situation. Anyone who opposes the rapidly emerging status quo can easily be silenced by digging up some past crime of his. There's crime and there's crime. Everybody commits minor offences sometimes but if nobody knows about it, does it really matter? Once it's known to law enforcement, however, it's hard for them to ignore.
CAN is content addressed rather than sender/receiver addressed. The address is also used to arbitrate transmit priority on every single message frame. This allows for messages to be sent with well controlled latency, which is important for stuff like drive-by-wire steering and braking.

CAN bus wiring isn't floating in that it isn't isolated. The transceivers are required to deal with a large common mode voltage range, though, and there are isolated transceivers for specific use cases. The noise reduction properties are simply that the digital signal is encoded as the difference in voltages between two wires, and those wires are supposed to be twisted together. Also, the typical behavior is for a CAN controller peripheral to automatically re-transmit frames that didn't make it on the bus, for example, if there was too much noise that a receiving node got a CRC mismatch.

A video feed from a camera would be way too much bandwidth to run over a typical CAN setup. For reverse cameras, it's probably HDMI or something. For more elaborate safety and convenience systems, it's likely either close enough to the computer that it's a parallel bus, or far enough from the computer that it's a differential high speed interconnect that's qualitatively similar to HDMI.
You are right. Putting the responsibility on individuals and small organizations is asking for trouble.

But instead, capitalist society simply VC-funds a bunch of centralized entities that wind up with the solution, and don't give it to anyone else. Because after the IPO, Wall Street quarterly earnings demand that it extract rents forever, and you can only do that with closed source software.

Perhaps Web3 and Web4 will finally fix this situation. Open source protocols that can be monetized with cryptocurrency. Filecoin is a good example. It "just works". It may be slightly more expensive than AWS, but can become as resilient as you want.
> I was suggested a police car by a friend. They are cheap at auctions, more or less well maintained (tax payer money)

Except that

1) a lot of them are Dodge Chargers which are terribly unreliable

2) they spend incredible amounts of time idling, which isn't good for the engine of a sports car
I don’t disagree. How does crypto solve that? It doesn’t. It’s just as harmful. Perfection doesn’t exist, only the continual efforts towards an ideal.

Edit: (HN throttling), reply to below comment.

I agree that there are niche use cases where crypto is bridging a gap for the disenfranchised (sex workers in this example) until policy catches up, but that it’s unsustainable to extrapolate that out as a call for wide adoption of crypto by the masses.
Totally agree. I heard recently discussion of putting deeds to homes on the blockchain, but having recently purchased my first home, I am 1000% okay with the paperwork and oversight and honestly friction that goes into it. The amount of regulation seems to make it very difficult to get totally ripped off, which is great since so much of the process was so opaque to me.
Interesting. But WebGL is a JS API, so you cannot directly access it with current WASM browser implementations, isn't it? I had a look at the Qt WASM implementation some time ago and found it extremely inefficient, not only because apparently everything has to be marshalled via JS. Has this improved in v1.1?
Browsers are also free to use per site caches instead of a global one and sadly we ended up with just that because it turns out you cannot trust the internet with user privacy in any way.
I have a pretty good idea of what my take home will be for all the current preorders. But who knows when the well will dry up.
35 is an interesting age, because it can cut both ways in terms of the OP's concern. Your approach is common, but I think it's not the only way.

Many people commit to being settled etc as you imply. But you don't have to! The "settled" / company-man group skews older, but it's more about attitude and priorities.

Keep a positive attitude, keep working out, don't let the way you dress etc slip, be a "bro" not a "bob" at work, go out and do fun things, and keep raging on the weekends. Don't steer conversations towards work and your kids. Get excited about things. Don't complain. Keep up personal projects and hobbies. Keep learning new skills and challenging yourself. Talk to the newer/younger people at work etc as peers, and not in a condescending/know-it-all way.

Assuming that's what you want!

Why is that so hard to believe? It's like suggesting that no professional software engineer would ever contribute code for free into an open source project in their free time. My basic assumption if somebody send a patch to an open source project is not that I'm being social engineered -- it is that they're either using the software or interested in the domain.

Photography was well developed by 1920. I have a number of very good photos of family members from that period of time.

Eventually, but at current prices existing hardware mines at well above electricity prices, so that won't happen any time soon.
Sure, I've built and raced my own wheels too, on my hand-built stand which just used thumbscrews for indicators.

So, and I also clicked through with a pretty skeptical attitude.

But it didn't take many seconds to say "oh, COOL!". Perhaps it is just that I now work in a field where tolerances in the thousandths of an inch are ordinary, but I would have thought this was way cool back then too.

Now, would I spend the USD$785 for it as a hobbyist? Not likely, unless I got really serious about racing again.

But if I built wheels on any more regular or professional basis, it's the first tool I'd get after the spoke wrench set and truing stand.

Of course, the first improvement I'd really want is a way to track the locations of warps on the circumference of the rim and visualize them (e.g., an angular sensor and a way to measure a starting point such as the air valve hole).
I'd also want to be sure that this whole setup does not require an internet connection. Of course, I'd be happy to share data if it could create some general benefit of big data analysis and I could share in that benefit, but it'd have to be optional.
The point was never to make people obscenely rich off of speculation.
A few SQL statements + ad-hoc spreadsheet analysis can also potentially be way more achievable and powerful within a couple of spare hours than using weeks+ of engineering resources to build in-house reporting tools (that frequently end up over-fitting to specific requests).

Rural Greek Orthodox tend to have a lot of fasting days (IIRC about 200 in a year), and caloric restriction (CR) is a well known mechanism that slows down aging in many animals.

Of course, humans are long lived by natural standards, so the effect of CR on lifespan may be much smaller than in mice or worms, but I would still expect someone-who-fasts-regularly-but-isn't-malnourished to be healthier than an average Western person. Which usually translates into living longer.
Mint is stagnating for years and looks like intuit is just supporting it, without doing any investments. It’s sad because alternatives are even worse (e.g. personal capital looks better but loses connectivity to banks much more often).

Microsoft money from 15 years ago had more features and convenience than mint now.

RISC-V has been specifically designed so that the ISA itself doesn't use anything that's recent enough to be possibly patent encumbered. There might be risk involved in some chip designs, but these can be seamlessly replaced if needed.

Nothing is wrong with NoSQL except for how it (often) gets used. NoSQL is just a dumping grounds for less-structured data that allows startups to accumulate tech debt more rapidly, while providing enough functionality to be useful.

Where I've seen it used is to delay the decision making process of adding structure to data, or a prototype database, before you are certain what your application's needs are. For simple disconnected data in low performance applications, they provide a low barrier to entry. But eventually people start embedding foreign keys into documents and the whole thing goes South.
This tweet kind of invoke the eternal(?) form vs. substance debate.

Regarding the business plan part, it seems PG does indeed read[1] "business plans": not from some written document which has static form but from a source having a more dynamic form i.e. people who are primarily responsible for writing of those static documents if/when needed.

And, about the balance sheet part, I don't really know how useful it is for the kind of businesses (early stage startup) in which PG and YC are interested and primarily invests in.

There are also side effects WRT federal election and fundraising laws.

Generally the wheels of justice grind very slowly, but grind very finely, and do not tolerate attempts at "hacking" the justice system by just putting a e- prefix on something.

For some real world examples, there's no federal election law problem with my local bar giving away free beer during happy hour, and there's no federal election law problem with the local bar banning people from the premises for almost any reason including political beliefs. But they would get into HUGE federal election law trouble if they hacked the anti-bribery rules by pretending that giving away free beer to anyone displaying a vote-by-mail ballot to encourage participation in the voting process, and simultaneously banning from the premises anyone who voted for the "wrong" party, and then pretending that those are isolated activities that do not have a common effect of essentially bribing people with free beer if they vote the correct way.

There are also information dissemination legal issues. Like everyone else (probably?) my official election polling site is defined by a postcard from the municipal treasurer's clerk's office. That was delivered by the supposedly non-partisan USPS. In theory I could be deprived of my right to vote by the clerk deciding to deliver voting location postcards by Fedex and an activist stock owner's group pressuring Fedex into refusing to deliver to people whom historically voted in the "wrong" parties primary. There's no law that Fedex must accept all commerce regardless of political affiliation, but the courts would take a pretty dim view of Fedex implementing voter suppression as a secondary effect.

A problem that's already appeared on Reddit in a big way, is assumptions about group membership. A real world analogy is about 80% of primary voters where I live are faithful and vote for the same party in the general and primary election and about 20% of voters are unfaithful and vote for different parties in the primary and the general. Primary voting party is public knowledge where I live. So its public knowledge that there's a roughly 40% chance I voted for Hillary in 2016 and a 60% chance I voted for Bernie, and in theory people could use that knowledge against me. In theory its secret whom I voted for in the general, but lets just say it was mathematically very likely it was someone else. Anyway on Reddit its double plus un good think to participate in any way with known religious heretics and that will get you banned, even if you don't agree with them. And if Reddit is ever determined by a court to be operating under federal election law regulations, they will end up in BIG trouble for voter suppression and bribery.

All these situations are a pretty big problem to "groupthink" style social media sites that ban all members of one party vs the other.

He had $130 million wrapped up in an ERC20 token called Aave wETH (aWETH). ERC20 tokens let you approve another address to spend those tokens on your behalf. Basically, the scammers tried to trick him into approving all of his Aave wETH by creating a fake website designed to make him think that he's approving a different token with the same aWETH symbol.
Hacker sends NFT to Thomas.

Since NFT's are subject to heavy criticism of their existence, a lot of people are developing extra things you actually can do with them. The market is interested in that being done right, so its interesting to be a part of projects that are trying. This extra thing required Thomas sending the NFT to another service they developed. Smart contracts in Ethereum Virtual Machine environments (EVMs) have to be primed to recognize asset. So there is something called an Approval. When Thomas interacted with this contract it did the approval for the NFT, and also an approval for aWETH a token associated with that project.

aWETH is the ticker symbol for a token that project created called Armstrong ETH. The namespace for ticker symbols has many collisions as there are many tokens. So people aren't too worried about that, a token's ID is its contract address which does not have collisions.

In this case, this was the actual phishing attempt.

Their project did indeed use a token called Armstrong ETH, but their approval was for aWETH which is Aave Eth, an asset collateralized by liquid valuable actual Ether. It is also redeemable for actual Ether.

So if Thomas approved the use of their project from his main account, the hacker would have been able to use another function written in their smart contract that leveraged the approval of aWETH (the Aave Eth) to take it all away from Thomas. He has $100m of that.

Very close one for him.
Is that really true? On traditional exchanges, the exchange itself is a mostly neutral party, a technology-and-marketplace provider. If a clearing member becomes insolvent, the other clearing members have agreements in place to "pitch in" together to keep the whole system functional.

(Edit: to be clear, this isn't a rosy situation: it's usually a adjacent to fraud, so the SEC, CFTC, etc. pursue criminal charges; and other clearing members tend to sue the bankrupt one, letting the courts figure it out.)

No sympathy for you from me. There will always be people on both sides of the spectrum. There’s people who work hard to pay rent without resorting to criminality. In fact this is more common than your characterization that if you’re poor you steal, or as you call it “poor people things”. What an insult to those people.
