GTD seminars are used to induct members into the cult. It's analogous to Scientology and their ideas on productivity. The audience for GTD is mostly programmers due to corporations sponsoring the seminars. Everything programmers do is ideological. Programming is also hard which is why coders are susceptible to scams. Uncle Bob and OOP principles are very cult-like as well although the methodology has proven itself suboptimal and convoluted.
Advice for Taking on a Co-Founder Once You've Gotten Some Traction Solo?
Has anyone here brought on a co-founder at a later stage once you've already gotten some traction solo?

I'm a solo founder, bootstrapping my business - a consumer marketplace with social networking features. So far, I've worn every hat from business development and marketing, to product development, finance and ops. I've made great progress with the help of advisors and contractors without raising any external capital. I have a strong pitch to put in front of investors and growth accelerators (eg Techstars, YC) for a seed round over the next few months.

If I can find someone who is the right fit, I would love to bring on a partner to take on the COO role to help me scale and get ready for a raise.
Indeed, and you're right, it deflates the "italian fascists were nationalists and not totalitarians," argument to a great extent. The rationale I think for separating them was the pretext of dubious historical claims to Albania via the "Roman" empire, vs. the global dominion aims of hitler and stalin - but even then, that argument is mainly in service of reinforcing the overarching idea of totalitarianism being a new, coherent, and unique 20th cen ideology and phenomenon, and maybe not as a complete read of the history.

There is an argument to be made that totalitarianism itself wasn't new or notable or is even a coherent thing that can't be shown to have manifested in pretty much every other imperial effort. I've got ideas about some of its other sufficient conditions that still preserve it as a unique effect and form, and as far as an intellectual renaming of Evil goes, tot'ism is pretty close to what critics of fascism come up with as well. Some of these things only exist at a certain level of abstraction and then dissolve under further scrutiny.
>I would still oppose them on basis human rights ground

I hear this as an argument against left and right, but when I ask why it is different from the vaccine requirements for public schools I typically get a "it just is" response. Here's hoping someone might have a better response to why this vaccine is different in that aspect.

What do you think of a protocol that is not compatible with email at all but at the transport level can relay SMTP to SMTP servers intact? MUA's (clients) would either add support to the new protocol or dedicated clients would be used?
No luck there either, I'm afraid. It sets 'flag' to zero (i.e., converged), but A and A^T still differ.
From scratch == floppy disk and magnetized needle.

But seriously from scratch in this case is a canvas plus possibly some primitives for marking the canvas. Cairo provides these things.

I used to have an old 2MB DOS notebook that I would fire up now and then to play with my ideas in this space. I could get mouse input through an INT op code of some sort, and there was the keyboard and getting access to video RAM.

I have tried to play with the Linux kernel drivers underlying things like wayland and X but I lack the determination to see that through.

Another post here someone listed the object model paradigms and that’s probably closer to what OP is interested in.
Hubspot leak affecting 30 cryptocurrency companies

No, for two reasons. First is that software vulnerabilities are so much more prevalent that in the real world, it would be a wasted effort to attempt to exploit these hardware side-channel vulnerabilities. There's much lower-hanging fruit elsewhere.

Second is that for the most vulnerable attack scenarios, they were mitigated long before the public release of Spectre and Meltdown. The big one was cloud computing - attackers being able to exfiltrate data from VMs running on the same host. Microsoft, Amazon and Google had many months in which to roll out updates to their infrastructure that enhanced VM isolation. Similar for browser vendors, for example Chromium introducing Site Isolation. And operating system developers - mitigations for Windows kernel and Linux were being tested for months before public disclosure.

Do you mean the USSR and China? Because yeah, many leftists opposed those revolutions, including at the time (anarchists opposed the bolsheviks and were murdered, support for Mao fell off after the West learned about the Cultural Revolution). The mainstream form of the left nowadays is either reformist (social democrats like Bernie or AOC) or libertarian socialists/anarchists opposed to the state (David Graeber (RIP), Noam Chomsky).

Any insights that you’d want to share with someone not using Java/Scala or Erlang/Elixir? I’d love to get the benefits of actors in Node, Python or Go, but I’m not entirely sure what I’m missing yet.
If people were adept at consistently setting their boundaries, in the face of demands that can be overwhelming, indeed the problem would be trivial maybe. Just say no.

But just saying no for many people is still a non-trivial skill.

Also, just saying no in the face of consistent and repeated demands while mixing that with a desire that many creators have to be responsive to the people who use their software and to satisfy those people to some extent, compounds the difficulties creators face.

I definitely think it's an obvious opportunity to bring more order and structure to these currently ambiguously defined exchanges. I believe we can do better than stress and ambiguity on either side of that.

Sure, one solution is creators just saying, "I don't want to do this right now," so just shut it down, close it, block them whatever, heh. I actually think that that's not as much of a general purpose solution as it looks like at first because creators do actually want to help people with their stuff, and they also want to get rewarded for doing so (because you know they need to eat and everything), and doing so actually takes a lot of time, and they also want to control their taskflow to some extent.

Agreed. I've seen some theories that long covid is related to micro blood clots, and some very preliminary studies showing universal improvements from long term anti-coagulants---though I am far from being an expert able to really vet these papers. I know many people slowly get better as well. Anecdotally, my experience was a relatively large step down in cardio, which I have seen slowly improve, however I'm young and relatively healthy.
Although I'm glad it worked out for you, this sounds like a very niche case that would fail every single measure of exampination. Neither is working at a FANG company a signal of intelligence.
I am! Thank you. It's been almost 15 yrs .. I have a few scars from the chest tubes as a reminder. My lung capacity is normal. Every so often I get some numbness on that side when it's storming outside. In the couple years following, I did go through some hypochondria, thinking I had any number of related and unrelated issues. I've been advised not to scuba or go climbing Mt. Everest (ha!), though I do wonder if and when the other side could strike.
I'm not familiar with this study in particular, but there's another similar one for the elite NYC public high schools, which have historically had a similar "halo effect" attributed to them. They found that the student cohort that "barely made it" had similar long-term outcomes as students who "barely missed out".

I came away thinking that parental influence is the most important factor. If your child is well-nurtured enough to be within a crap shoot of selection for an elite institution, it probably doesn't really matter if they get in or not, they'll be successful regardless (for mysterious reasons that may be interesting to know, but don't really matter).

As such, it's better not to make your kid focus on "getting in" (which is a suspect goal for many reasons), but instead on trying their best to realize their full potential.
Good thread. I got curious and checked the startup, I totally agree with the mission, Americans eat out way too much.

But I'm not sure an app is going to change what seem to be cultural habits.

At the end of the day, cooking is always going to be more effort than Uber eats or TV dinners. In other cultures there's a deep cultural, sometimes almost religious, value to having a home cooked meal with family, that counteracts this. Most Americans don't really care. That's a deep societal thing with a lot of causes.

But interesting to see how it turns out.
Stalin's doctrine wasn't only to establish communism in Russia. He just realized it was impractical to export communism immediately. His intentional long-term play was to stoke war across the world between capitalist countries so that that war would create the desperate conditions for revolution within those countries similar to the role that WW1 played in creating the conditions for revolution within Russia. That's why he blocked reform to the Versailles Treaty, among other actions.
I really appreciate HN for providing a refreshingly healthy, intellectually stimulating forum for discussion. In fact, as someone who is decidedly outside the tech-space, I mainly come here for the articles and discussions that have nothing to do with technology. At the same time, I think HN prides itself on being different from the myopic hivemind typical of other social media outlets - anecdotally, this something that I haven't found to be entirely accurate. (See anything about STEM vs. non-STEM education, medicine or biotechnology for an example of what I'm talking about).

>Why is this all the sudden a thing? I know Covid can potentially cause (maybe?) more damage than the Flu/or random colds but did people literally not get sick before Covid? Because it really seems like it.

In my entire life, I cannot think of anyone I personally know (family, friends, colleagues) who has been seriously ill (either in the short term or long term) due to a cold, cough, or flu.

On the other hand, in just two years of the pandemic, I've personally known several people who have either ended up in hospital with the virus itself, or have persistent problems over a year after infection (e.g. loss of smell).

To make things more concerning, I know of people in their 20s and 30s that have been badly affected by Covid. Not just people who are 55+.

I've heard this phrase multiple times before... and yet, doctors have been studying bio, lawyers studying laws/cases, and engineers math - for hundreds of years. I don't want someone who did 4 years of philosophy and knows how to think deeply about things performing my heart surgery.

The first three bullet points are not the same thing partly because one of those bullet points specifically addresses job training, and one addresses "how to think". You're right that knowing how to think is important, but acting like hard skills don't exist is taking things too far imo.
> middle school kids are more keen about their gender or identities, or how awful US was in the past, or their hair color

Do you genuinely believe this stuff that youre typing? I know that conservative medias say this and use it as a boogeyman to get themselves into power, but do you truly believe it? Ive worked with elementary, middle, and high school kids for the last 5 years, in an area that conservatives constantly make fun of and call awful things, but none of that is even close to the reality.

Kids know that gay people exist (and are okay with that), and they know that they might want to look or act differently than they wouldve been forced to in the past.

Kids today are significantly more accepting of tech and STEM subjects than they were even just a few years ago. Its significantly more common and accepted to play video games, kids are interested in video and picture editing because of social media (like TikTok), and they are increasingly tech literate. None of these boogeyman topics you claim are true, but they are continually parroted by people who want to move our education system backwards.

And as a side note,
> high school students must show how caring they're to the community

I personally think this is a great thing. We should encourage more community involvement with young people, especially things that help out disadvantaged community members and educate them about our government. Im surprised someone who parrots the original phrases from your comment would be against something like being caring in your community.
Or go a step further and flash a modified UEFI firmware on it, then natively run a Linux distro. My HP Chromebook from 2013 is rocking still, almost a decade after release. I run Gallium on it, for optimal compatibility with all the hardware.
But you'd also keep each half of the M1 ultra under the limit.

I'm not saying it's a good idea, because they'd have done it if it was. They clearly know what they're doing.

I'm just saying that it's not an absolute blocker for a design you'd otherwise be connecting over something like EMIB anyway.
With the exception of a few missing things like full USB pass-through to crostini containers, chromeOS with crostini works about as good as my fedora laptop. I like its window management defaults better then gnome as well. Also you get auto-updated and supported firmware from google and secure boot by default.

Currently running a framework laptop with fedora just because I like the hardware better then most chromebooks and I can very cheaply throw in a fast 2TB ssd rather then spend hundreds extra to upgrade a chromebook to 512GB.

Yes, I moved away too. So much dumbing down, so many things changed just for the sake of it. And of course no settings to revert it. Eventually it was just too annoying to upgrade.

A lot of it is security hardening but the problem is I have to give all control to Apple. There is no way for me to change anything in the read only OS part without the whole rigmarole of booting into recovery mode and blessing my changes with every update. There should be a way I can sign my own changes. It's the Apple way or the highway. And I'm running into more and more issues when the Apple way is just not good enough for me.

I'm really so happy with having options again with KDE. No more opinionated software for me.
This is the most embarrassing thing I've ever read. That thread goes on to extoll the virtues of dogfooding, and its absolutely true.

I personally believe the reason that chrome/edge/firefox and apps in general have become so resource hungry is because all the devs have been given beefy machines to allow them to compile on-device and this has lead to the devs basically ignoring the app's resource budget. The ultimate "it works on my machine" shrug. imo windows OS and browser devs should be given i3s w/4gb of ram, let them optimize their code for that experience.

A successful business is not prima facie a monopoly. Leftists like to cast all rich business people as monopolists who don’t deserve their money, yet glide over musicians, athletes, artists, writers, and all others in the creative professions who are rich yet are somehow more “deserving” of their wealth as they talk on their iPhones and type on their laptops.

I see starting and operating businesses as not only extremely difficult but arguably more valuable to society than another play or book. Yes, I love books. But in terms of usefulness to society a cheaper taco or a faster diaper delivery is on the whole a huge gain for society.

Soviet Russia made some good literature. But I don’t want humanity to live under the boot of communism so that a few books are written.
Let me explain a line of reasoning that would refute the explanation you provide for the ballooning debt. Universities have not generally changed the way they do things, universities have always been the four things OP listed since forever, even when you likely got your degree (assuming you did, or at the very least most of hacker news did), they were those four things too! Therefore, there is no inherent thing to universities that explains the ballooning debt. Instead, something must have happened between the 90s and now that correlates with the rise of debt. Thus, look for an explanation by looking at the history of policy rather than relying on rationalizations.

To that end, a quick google search yields an article that gives a good set of reasons a think-tank that studied the problem found as a set of causes. This is the first result of googling "what caused the student debt crisis":

https://www.businessinsider.com/why-is-the-student-debt-cris...

Now those four items ARE things that have changed between now and then. Generally, the decline state funding of schools means unis now fund themselves by relying on tuition that students do not feel as a cost (at least immediately) because the federal government can give out loans like candy.

Again people, please please please don't just conjure up ideas in your head and think you understand the causes in the world that explain how everything works. You would not apply this line of thinking to your own job you are paid for, people have studied these things and generally it is understood why the debt crisis exists, it isn't a mystery!
Teams works on Linux now.

You can also go to a school where professors are employed for their ability to teach.

Choosing to go to a research institution seems like such an obviously poor choice it’s strange people get suckered into it. But it’s clear education is a low priority for both students and collages.
> For late-bloomers, which might suffer under this system, it is still possible to progress from Hauptschule to Realschule and finally Gymnasium and university

Do you know how many people in Hauptschule make it to university?

I must acknowledge I thought it was 25%, it must've changed in recent years.

> Wouldn’t you agree that at least 10% ...

Thank you for the question. I buy the thesis of the Case against education by which university is a waste of time for most people, nevertheless it's hard for me to stigmatize a percentage of the population by not allowing them to waste their time there as well with their former ten year old smarter classmates.
Doesn't supply and demand not apply here though? There are tons of subsidies and small farmers who are propped up more by government assistance than they are the market though?
