If that truly is the point he's trying to make, then he needs to say that. The message he actually conveyed is "these things aren't important". And while I'd agree with him on the business plan, telling prospective startup founders that they shouldn't ever worry about the balance sheet is pure negligence and he should be called out for it.

I've long respected PG for his role in transforming the VC industry from it's MBA-led Sand Hill Road old boys club into an engineer-led scrappy startup world. And I have enjoyed his writing even when I disagree with much of it. However, his new Twitter persona is absolutely bonkers. Not every insight needs to be contrarian to the point of negligence.
My favorite and most entertaining essay to read. Reading his other later writings it looks like his views are not rigid and are always evolving. The blog as been quite impressionable on me since the mid to late 2000s as a university student.

Come on. That's a willful misinterpretation, for one thing, and for the other, the judge specifically said that it was not clear what a "lawyer-dog" was. You are trying to come up with a more rational explanation post hoc when the judge himself gave the stupid one.

How does this work? Is it a wallet app? Does it act as an interface to your bank's payment network? The kind of vague useless "explanation"[1] getting parroted in the "How it works" page is something I haven't seen anyone do for a long time. If you don't want to tell your consumers clearly, why even bother with such bullshit?

It wasn't that much more expensive and I knew that it was going to be such a pain that I was happy to do it once and future-proof. Probably won't max it out in my lifetime, but it's nice to have options.
Ok but the same floorspace my $500k apt has costs about $1M as a townhouse in the same area. If you want _more_ space then you are looking at $2M or more. Sure, I'd love a house in the city. I'll put it next to my boat and Ferrari.
Why is anything still transported cross-country on trucks, instead of only using trucks to move things the "last mile" and using trains for the cross-country portion of the trip? Wouldn't the job of being a truck driver be a lot less unpleasant if all routes were local?

You keep throwing barbs around but missing the important point.

He specifically didn’t want to see balance sheets or income statements as he knows they can be full of bullshit (FWIW my only university qualification is in accountancy, so I know what he means).

All he cared about the bank balance and whether it was going up or down, because that’s what indicates whether the company would survive or not.

He still cared most about users and how excited they were and how fast their number was growing.
And I'm sure none of his base will notice or care that months later the reporter isn't actually being prosecuted. The political points scored still count.

Growing up with PC games, I was always fascinated by wargames as a genre. It seemed like its own little world, largely disjoint from the rest of PC gaming, likely owing to its genesis in tabletop gaming. My understanding is that pretty much from the dawn of the personal computer era, wargamers were already looking at ways to automate and adjucate all the dice-rolling and table lookups that were in many ways inherent in the genre. There's a fantastic strategy gaming podcast, Three Moves Ahead, which had an episode on a game that's considered to be a classic of the "wargame that successfully automates the tabletop experience" subgenre, and it's an interesting listen, if you're into strategy games: https://www.idlethumbs.net/3ma/episodes/korsun-pocket

I've started dabbling in the genre a bit over the past decade - tabletop and computerized - and what really intrigues me is, broadly speaking, there's been a pivot away from complexity in the past few decades, particularly in the tabletop space. If you think of a wargame as a sort of playable model of a conflict, you can look at the gameplay mechanics as a tool for abstracting away or illuminating and emphasizing what people believe are important factors in a battle/war/etc. There's a significant current of thought in modern wargame design circles that believes the old-school rivet-counting complexity you see in the article missed the forest for the trees. So, you instead see games that in clever and elegant ways evoke specific aspects of various conflicts in relatively simple-to-grasp games.

On the table-top side, there are quite a few games that have moved to a sort of card-driven model where you play from a hand of hidden cards. In particular, you have things like Twilight Struggle which evokes a specific sense of uncertainty, paranoia, and tension that's quite impressive, especially as the DEFCON counter seems to inexorably creep towards 1.

On the PC side, Unity of Command uses a very elegant model of supply chains to evoke how maneuver warfare worked on the Eastern Front in WWII. It's striking how well a collection of rules that can be summarized on a single page manages to result in deep strikes and encirclements of large groups like those you see in military history books. Unity of Command is interesting in that it is a game you could in principle play as a tabletop game - it's just that while the supply chain model is extremely easy to grasp and visualize, it'd be an enormous pain to track manually (Well, that, and you'd miss out on the deviously nasty opponent AI). If you're at all curious about the genre, it's worth a look.
It is a clear cut HIPAA violation if the data sold to the data aggregator contained personal identifiers of any kind. The standard is not that data be "anonymized" but that all personal identifiers be redacted from the data. This includes dates, addresses (typically the finest grain of address information you can include is the first 3 digits of the zipcode, and sometimes not that), birthdays.

The redaction does not mean that data cannot under some circumstances be re-identified, of course. But it's not trivial.
That Starlink adaptor is just a regular RJ45 in waterproof housing. The complain about it has no merit as it's meant to be connecting to the dish outside the house.
Those Sunset homes are detached single family homes - like you said, they don’t share any walls.

But SF has its own classification of “fully detached” which specifies a minimum space between homes.

Rowhouses typically share walls.
It will eventually support aliases (like Zelle does) as well as cross border payments, but my understanding is that it won’t at launch (as the desire is to get the ACH delays gone first). I don’t have consumer UX insight, only into the ISO20022 message plumbing (user->institution->Fed->institution->user).
Ya they only have billions of users, probably not a big enough userbase to support this feature /s
No, that's all firmly within the consumer class end of the spectrum.

IIUC (this is speculative presumption, the worst kind :P) the Ethernet port may use a form of USB, or at least what looks like a USB-like connector, possibly to provide power to the module so it can do its <proprietary>-to-Ethernet thing. (I am of course boggled at how the proprietary thing is cheaper than just adding Ethernet full stop.)

It would seem sufficiently low numbers of users want an Ethernet port that this strategy is actually cost effective. I'm a little surprised at this to be honest, all the CPE (consumer premises equipment) junk/ewaste I've ever seen is typically littered with 100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports (usually four), regardless of Wi-Fi capability.

And this is not to mention the fact that StarLink is touted as a low-latency network, so wouldn't it only make sense to proactively maintain that status quo over the last few feet?

I definitely would get just a tad uncomfortable if I were ever handed eg a Wi-Fi only fiber modem...
> 10GBASE-T and wifi 6E and the performance to route 1gbit/s with QoS and I would like it for something more like $200

In one device? You want too much for too less, each one separately costs ~$200. And there is no demand for such devices yet which is the reason you can't find it.
OMG yes. I can never understand the teams that think “Why yes, more meetings to talk about how to do this thing with a sudden deadline” is a good idea. Unfortunately, my experience has shown that people on these teams work nights and weekends to actually get the thing done, and then gloat about how much they’re working, since that’s what everyone else in the org does (and is rewarded on to some extent)
I believe those firefighting services will respond to every fire, they will just watch and prevent it from burning a neighboring house that does pay.
"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities" - Voltaire

Wildly incorrect beliefs are the most dangerous thing in the world. It's what led to 9/11 (islamism), WW2 (nazism), The Great Famine/The Cultural Revolution (Maoism), etc.

We do need to defend against incorrect and dangerous ideas. Just putting misinformation in scare quotes to dismiss it isn't a good response.
First of all, imagine the VR glasses rumored from Apple: lightweight, high resolution, OLED, and camera's for augmented reality. Especially OLED and super high resolution will make the experience much more tolerable.

You could now take your workplace with you wherever you go. In the train, to the office, any room of your house. Always having a beautiful cleaned up working space with a lot of workspace.

I think the face/eye tracking camera's will help with realistic meetings. Furthermore with augmented reality you could grab a coffee or play some guitar without taking your headset off. Obviously when going to the park you would take the headset off. You probably would have to do so anyways as 8 hours of VR is though.
That one was more puzzling to me. Every one liner people would use to pitch their idea, every elevator talk essentially is a „pitch deck“.
Depending on the size of your program, investing in test is something that shouldn’t be underrated. For big projects never call it “just” testing.

This example can be useful to generate rich test-data. Imagine you have some C program parsing json. Generating a sample json input in C would be very long and error prone, whereas in python it’s just a few loops for the generation and finally json.dumps.

This also decouples your test from your program, so you don’t do the same mistake in both of them, negating the test.

In same manner, parameterizing tests is surely possibly with GTest but it’s awkward and complicated, a lot easier in py.

Pytest also comes with lots of fixtures and possibility to make your own, such as spinning up a mock-db, although then we are more into integration testing rather than unit.

Not saying everyone should go rewrite their tests like this, but for some cases there is value that can be utilized.
Right, I was asking about the other half of your claim: How does the NFT provide proof of the "limited edition-ness (aka scarcity)" of the good that it provides proof of ownership for? I don't see how the NFT or blockchain allows you to verify that - as far as I can tell, that must always be a matter of trusting your company, and the process it has in place before minting things, to ensure no duplicates are ever made.

That’s a really nice analogy. The television is also a pointer of some sort, but that communicates the idea nicely and sounds less technical. And naturally move the focus of the discussion to the licensing of the aired content.

I might steal the idea for future discussions :)
Random idea, affiliate style code that you share to friends to invite them to this game that you don't play. Then you receive points when someone in your tree "loses" the game by checking their score.
HTTP/3 will not be adopted because it's a downgrade from HTTP/2 for CDN companies.

HTTP/2 has indeed massively benefitted CDNs by providing more effective capacity per buck, but UDP based 3.0/QUIC will singlehandedly destroy it, and bring it to below HTTP 1.1.
Stressful but also good. Much more widely known than had not been subject to this threat. Probably good for future career prospects.
Looking at the storage on my PS5, the largest game on it is the preload for "Horizon: Forbidden West" which goes live next Friday. It's 88GB. It's an open world RPG with several dozen hours of gameplay.

"Returnal", about a year older and a much shorter game, is the next largest at 60 GB.

Toward the bottom of the list are "Maneater" and "Life Is Strange: True Colors", both clocking in at about 15GB and as many hours of gameplay.

Having said that, your net connect isn't going to help with games. I have Starlink, which generally sits in the 150-250Mbit range. That should have taken about an hour to download 88GB. It took 7. The CDNs for game delivery aren't exactly speedy. (And that's pretty common, in my experience. Even in my last place when I had gigabit fiber, I generally left the console downloading overnight.)

Makes sense. The smarter you are, the more easily you can find solutions to problems given constraints.

Presumably, someone who is otherwise smart but is also unhappy persistently is smart enough to notice things that then lead to unhappiness but not smart enough to fix them given the constraints of their life.

That is, there is a valley of unhappiness as you trend upwards in intelligence.
I really dislike situations like this where the inferior becomes a name for the category, because it encourages people to keep using the inferior, often because that’s all they hear of and so all they know. “RSS” for feeds is a similar, though somewhat less bad, case (Atom is unequivocally superior, but in ways that seldom make a difference for most consumers for most content).

(Admittedly, actual video codecs are more a minefield, as is seen here in the video not playing in most environments due to the use of full 4:4:4 chroma, whereas GIF is simple and stupid enough that it’s consistent.)

I think you just have a different definition of torture. Simple as that. I think they were asking about nonconsentual infliction of pain and suffering to achieve a goal orthogonal to the recipients.
I think the common definition of e2e encryption covers user-to-user communication, so I'm confused how a transport protocol can offer e2e encryption at all (it would only do so if Quic is used over p2p between users, but that's a property of the application).

But even if the definition were different, http+tls would also be e2e encrypted (if used in conjunction which it pretty much always is).

I appreciate Quic but from a security perspective I don't see how it's different to what we've had for at least a decade.
.NET now has DateOnly. I haven't had the opportunity to use it yet, but I have great hopes for it.

I seen on loss prevention on Reddit they had five people shoplift detergent in shopping carts and cleaned out the whole aisle and put them in a SUV. Then they sell it on Facebook or eBay at a discounted price. Organized gangs are doing this rather than work minimum wage jobs.

The smashing with a hammer the window is a riot and looting, which has been going on ever since Mike Brown was killed by a police officer. It is not just black people but people of all races doing that as a form of protest. Sometimes insurance won't pay for riots calling it an act of God.

But I've already got co browsing working. It really doesn't take that much to make it work.... I mean when I was developing the co browsing feature I think it was around a week to 10 days of work to get multiple clients set up but really the architecture I chose initially made that extension pretty easy.

And then of course there's things you can add on top of that like having a real Time chat which I've already got.

And the next thing I'm going to add is just indicating where the people's curses are so when multiple people are driving it, everyone knows where the others are.

Also it wouldn't be hard to add a flag to indicate that only one person is the leader driver and the other people are sort of just observing.

Really the co browsing thing is not that hard to make work I've already got it happening.

But you seem to know about this so I mean please keep going with more examples or discussion about this I find that really interesting and valuable so if you have anything more to say please keep going. thank you very much.

If you consider that dates are ranges, they’re not 24h but 50 (currently, can change) since a dare has no zoning information: a given date starts at 00:00 on Kiribati (UTC+14:00) and ends the same on Baker (UTC-12:00).
