I don't think anybody can ignore that having parents with money, not even necessarily rich, is a big factor here.

And that's also the reason why most successful entrepreneurs rise to new wealth in rich countries. It's just easier to get money where money is.
"... and I remember one scientist even tasting the mammoth meat."

Now that's a scientist in my book.
Yes, I got that! That's why I used "agile" as well. My first thought was that it might be true what they said because it might be harder to account for said work, but I think in the end it depends on the management style and the priorities. If management and the dev team don't have the right priorities, traditional or agile can't do anything about it. And the technology leader (i.e. a CTO/tech lead etc.) needs to protect devs from pressure and stress of stakeholders and users. You need to foster understanding that developing software takes time and things like proper testing, QA, security, refactoring, updating libs etc. saves you money and allows you to keep the momentum. That's the job of the CTO imho.
Also: if you want to move faster, grow your team (and your structures) and see where time is wasted (we don't have a lot of meetings for devs that are mandatory besides demo, sprint planning, retro and standups and all have a max time) and don't cut corners all the time, they are coming back to bite you most of the time.

If anyone's interested, I can only recommend "Scrum and XP from the trenches"!

Why use social login at all when you can use email instead?
Great search engine but it makes it depressingly clear how many text content sites are just forgotten “last updated: 2005” zombie sites still humming along only because nobody remembered to take them offline.

Though, through it I found that Neocities has a great “indie web” community. Good for them.
You know that workers will just piss away the extra two hours a day and then take Friday’s off.

I mean, I and most of my colleagues did that when my employer had 4 day work weeks during the summer. Instead of “summer hours” we called it “some of the hours”.
Years and years (and years) ago I was considering starting my own business. An entrepreneurship book I read started (quite rightly) with a chapter on "Are you cut out to be an entrepreneur?" It mentioned that having (implicitly successful) entrepreneur parents was a predictor of successful entrepreneurship.

It's a leap from "successful entrepreneur" to "rich", but not a huge leap. In the cited examples, I don't know how the parents made their money, but it's not hard to see how being raised by entrepreneurs could confer advantages beyond a safety net and possible seed investment from parents.

In particular, a child from an entrepreneur household would very likely simply be more comfortable and at ease in that environment and have base level of domain knowledge that others lack. This doesn't mean that nobody else can be successful, of course, they just have more to learn.
I think one thing I want to point out is that acknowledging that being a startup founder is only a path available, practically speaking, to the already privileged is not about just wanting to complain, or about jealousy, or about wanting to freeload on someone else's work, or any of the other things that defenders of modern day capitalism will bring up as strawman defenses of the current system.

What this is about is changing things so that everybody else has the same chance that currently only a tiny minority do. Because as much as our current economic system is much better than anything that came before, it still wastes the vast majority of the talent and potential of its members.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean, but I just watched that video and it supports what the original commenter stated.

The bill introduced many things, some efficiency regulations and investments in new tech were aimed at climate change. When he introduces ethanol, he specifically calls out diversification of energy supplies and reduction of imports and not carbon.
I started running three years ago and looked into this quite a bit as I had plantar fasciitis for about 6 months this past summer. My conclusion was that there's no good evidence that foot strike matters in itself. Mostly everyone agrees that "overstriding" [1] is an issue but there's also no evidence for that. Also, not all heel strikers are driving their feet brutally into the ground. For distance running, most people naturally take quick, light steps and don't come down hard (the opposite of sprinting).

Here is a study showing that, among a pool of elite distance runners, most are heel strikers: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31147098/

Here is a meta analysis arguing that there is no evidence that forefoot striking is superior: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40279-019-01238-y

Here is a paper arguing against the arguments for forefoot striking: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/labs/pmc/articles/PMC6189005/

The heel strike vs. forefoot strike debate is not driven by evidence. Proponents of forefoot strike are making an argument from naturalness (some say that people run on forefeet without shoes, though this is disputed and may depend on the surface) and that, intuitively, landing on your forefoot seems like it would do less damage. Those arguments may be right but there's no solid evidence for them.

I went through a six months entrepreneurship class in France, targeted for low income people.

I learned about marketing, pitching my projects, but my views on business got much worse.

The result is mostly make believe and "just do it" mindset. We were taught by several coaches, who helped us making us feel good.

But in the end, Bourdieu is just right about everything.
Consider this, imagine someone working every single waking minute at their job. Clearly they will not be very happy and after a time not very productive. So there exists some optimum level of productivity between 0 and 18 hours of work per day. The big question is whether it is closer to the 0 or closer to the 18. Currently there is some good evidence for it being in the 3-6 hour range(I don't have the studies on hand, maybe someone else can chip in here). Now that is of actual productive work and not "work"(where you are just visible in the office or sitting at a meeting table).
I created my Spotify account back when they only had the option to create it with a Facebook account (or at least they hid the email option very well). Eventually I disabled my facebook account and realized that disabled my spotify too. I spent an hour or so with Spotify support to transfer all my playlists to a new account since they couldn't (at least back then) convert my account to be a non-FB account. So much time wasted. Never again.
Well, it's not 80% pay given benefits and overhead costs associated with having an employee. Probably more like a 30%+ cut.

ADDED: Assuming it really is a 20% cut in productivity which, for office workers, probably isn't the case but would be for many others including white collar jobs like lawyers, doctors, consultants, etc.

I've been there as well and agree. The defense world is a headache. Everything slows you down. Its like trying to swim through fruit cake.

Lockmart and Boeing are fortunate that SpaceX has no desire to get into the defense game beyond launching satellites for the Space Force. They wouldn't be as fast as their past work, half the friction in the defense world is imposed by the customer. But they would be faster than the incumbents.

Any recommendations on good books for marketing?
How about this: a date, or indeed even a time, is either of the shortest unit used in calculation at some moment (say by convention, the start of the date or time expressed perhaps down to nanoseconds); or it is a range, from the start of the date or time (expressed in terms of the shortest unit used in calculation, unless you want to fiddle with going down to Planck times to allow for future increase in precision) up to but not including the start of the next increment at the stated precision (for a time in seconds with a minimum resolution of nanoseconds, the billion nanoseconds starting at the beginning of the second).

So,an hour range starting at a half hour boundary might fall entirely within a day, entirely outside that day, or half in that day and half before or after it.

All of that neglects time zones, or assumes they're at most recorded for local convenience and/or historical purposes but converted for calculation into UTC or the like.

So, for instants, either they're equal or they're not; but for ranges, they could be equal, or a smaller range entirely within a larger, or partly overlapping, or disjoint. Pick whichever model (instant or range) works best, and be consistent thereafter, and at least the surprises shouldn't be too surprising.
One approach is to find someone (or a few people) who are well connected in the space you're in and offer them a percentage of the sale if you close a deal with a buyer they've introduced you to. AIUI, 5-10% seems fairly typical, at least for a smaller company. Obviously you'd want to have a signed, written agreement in place with any such intermediaries.

Yes you can do multi-tenancy natively, with each tenant having the same power as its parent in terms of roles, separate login pages, etc. Our architecture is "tenants all the way down".
I think this is a very interesting idea.

I've thought the same about railroads and the USA. The federal government largely subsidized the rapid expansion into the west with railroads that meant that expansion was haphazard and unsustainable. The poor way railroads developed has left impacts on how society works today.

If they'd expanded more slowly, we'd have had a more adapted and sustainable infrastructure today. Maybe we'd even have high speed rail everywhere.
> In fact, the system basically worked: this person showed up on his first day, was immediately recognized as someone else, and quit within the week.

You only know the process worked when the person was caught. How do you know this isn't more rampant?
In the last century, kinda sorta. In the major corn producing region of the US (I live in Iowa, the heart of the beast), crop rotation is largely reduced to choosing, based on markets whether to grow corn or soybeans on any particular acre. Dairy farmers still grow some alfalfa here and there, but the black earth midwest is pretty much corn and soybeans, full stop.
I'm going to save this so I can just link to it whenever the "but running your own servers is irresponsible!" thing comes up (as it seems to do weekly here on HN).

The main one I had in mind was POP3’s behaviour around deletion; my recollection is that if you don’t want it to work that way (and I think you might prefer not to in general, so you can be confident of having your own copy of everything), you run into practical performance, bandwidth and processing limits much sooner, because messages don’t have any external identity, so the receiver has to download everything every time to check if it’s seen it before. And you can’t just say “well only look at messages in this folder”—POP3 sees all, and that’s a problem.

But y’know what, I’m going to retract my comment for the case where you don’t want to keep a copy of anything. For most places, POP3 is generally unsuitable, but for this specific type of destructive server-to-server fetching, it’s reasonable.

In fairness - there are a lot of studies on how much people actually work in white collar jobs.

I don't know of a consensus, but I've seen many studies where >20% of people self report working ~20 hours per week.

Many studies like this: https://www.inc.com/melanie-curtin/in-an-8-hour-day-the-aver... - say that the average white collar worker only works ~20 hours per week.

There is little reason to believe the vast majority of workers can't keep the same work load with less hours. Sure - maybe 20% or your workers get 80% of your work done - and those people actually do work the full 40 hours (or more). But who's to say they won't continue working more than "required"?

For non-white collar jobs - particularly service workers - I think this is a completely different story. You can't give the same amount of hour-long massages in 4 days as you can in 5. You can't wait on as many tables or work the cash register for as many hours and so on... The thing is - most of these people are paid hourly - so you just need to find more workers (which currently, at full employment, is hard).

If you're trying to push up wages - this seems like it obviously will. I can see why businesses would be against that. But in a world where all wages go up - there's obviously winners AND losers. Not all businesses will be hurt by higher wages. If your labor inputs are a large portion of your COGS and you don't have pricing power - that's bad (traditional restaurants, discount retail). If labor inputs are low - and you do have pricing power (digital services, luxuries) - now you have many more people with higher incomes and more time to buy your products!

To me, this seems like it is good for the biggest businesses and lower-end salary workers and bad for the most common small businesses and upper-end salary workers. But I have no clue how this will turn out. I don't think anyone does, really. But I think it's a very exciting experiment we shouldn't be too pessimistic about.

Fewer people is the answer. Is there a way to humanely, ethically, and justly limit the population?

Conventionally, talking heads seem to indicate the right way forward is to use tech and industrial agriculture to support 20bn+ on the planet. Seems totally doable, but at the cost of losing the natural environment as well as more natural food sources altogether.

Anyway, I say get us back to around 5bn people and keep it there.

Not sure it would even matter. I once submitted a breaking news story to /r/news and it was autodeleted by their bot. I messaged a mod asking why it was deleted since it was in fact news and was not a duplicate and their response was to tell me I'm stupid and to permaban me from the sub.
I don't think forcing people to go to the GAFAM is fine, no.

(And yes, I have a smartphone but that should not be a requirement neither. My computer should suffice).

> You didn't complain that the online shop itself required the use of a computer.

Obviously online shopping requires a computer. It would not make sense to complain about this (though if I had to be a bit pedantic, the computer does not have to be mine. I don't need to own a computer).

At the moment the situation is workable for someone not having a smartphone, so, fine, but I hope it stays this way.

But also, computer networking. Rarely does anyone technical actually understand how computer networks actually work. If you learn it and continue to expand your knowledge over your school and career, you'll be super valuable in computing.

Basic home-level networks on IPv4 or IPv6 are easy, start there. Then learn how the Internet actually works, lots of the different protocols, dive deep into a few of them, read broadly about many of them. When you go to interview somewhere and they ask you some brain teaser or normal interview question related to networking, answer it but then offer up other info showing that you actually know how networks work. You'll impress a smart interviewer. Just don't be cocky about it.

If you’re looking for an excuse to not start a business, you can’t get better than this. The game is rigged. Thus you would be a fool to try.

Problem solved.

If, however, you kinda like the idea of running your own business, it’s worth knowing that you do not in fact need rich parents or any of the other prerequisites that non-entrepreneurs think are required.

Ask around here and you’ll find plenty of us. (And, of course, if you’re looking, I’m sure you’ll also be able to disqualify all of us individually based on some form of invented privilege).
Pretty much skewed towards many countries with exorbitant tuition fees though.

I don't think I remember any students here in Germany working 2 jobs. Sure, there's some inherent privilege in getting there to be able to study in the first place, but it has not a lot to do with 'wealth', being middle class and living at home (which kinda used to be the default until you were finished anyway) because we don't have so many campus universities and the majority would study at the closest uni anyway.

But I think I misread your comment as too generic, in the narrow sense of starting a company, yes, but my point is that your 'safety net' doesn't have to be your parents millions in the bank - just keep living at home would be fine.
I'm curious about blockchain solutions for this.

Public blockchains have potential to be part of the solution. Imagine the following:

- Decentralized file hosting using IPFS

- Decentralized login using ENS / Ethereum Name Service

- Email service gives you a UI on top of your data, plus an outbound server for relaying to/from non-blockchain email accounts

Overall, you end up with portable data thanks to IPFS, and a login through ENS to whatever UI you want to use/pay for.

This seems like a win to me. Haven't seen anything yet that pulls this together but the pieces are there. Maybe someone here wants to prototype it.
Collective action is hard.
I have a decent backstop and quite frankly I still have a relatively middle of the road risk tolerance. I've done one startup and quite frankly just grinding and doing stuff I like is starting to sound like a much better route as I'm entering my mid to late 20's. For me the bigger force pushing me away from startups was just the amount of stress / energy it takes relative to just working somewhere. To be frank, I think people with decent money and more importantly social energy / connections give you a leg up. Being able to afford living in a place / attend a university that lends itself to these kinds of connections is also incredibly relevant.

The notion of having roommates or not a few years of savings just isn't as cool or interesting as it once sounded. Granted, it feels weird to think about giving up on something I thought I wanted to do for a really long time, but that's just life sometimes.
