The core takeaway from the Lean Startup is about learning. Everything should be aimed at learning more about your business and how to make it successful. That point really has very little to do with building products; it's precisely the "wrong assumptions" bit that the approach targets.
Congrats and well deserved
I caught on to their game after I bought the 16 bit console. Haven't touched nintendo since. They think they own the second hand market, you couldn't even buy a second hand game without nintendo wanting a cut of the sale. Every console is missing some feature that earlier had, and then they add that later and sell you the same console, just this time with an audio port! I forget all the details though, haven't really thought about nintendo or other consoles in many years.

> monopoly is the goal of the free market

Ignoring the fallacious teleological argument, I'm happy to rely on Wikipedia for this as this is basic knowledge:

> In economics, a free market is a system in which the prices for goods and services are self-regulated by buyers and sellers negotiating in an open market without market coercions.

What are market coercions?

> Examples of such prohibited market coercions include: economic privilege, *monopolies*, and artificial scarcities.

The last time I tried to raise anything it was pretty much impossible to do pre-revenue. Even a small seed round has expectations that you'll have launched already[1]. Obviously it depends on a lot of factors, but there's a chance your CEO was right.

[1] ...which defeats the point of it being a seed round in my opinion. If you've proven the model and you have money coming in then you're raising a Series A. rant rant
For a small island with a very British habit of regular, unnecessary self-crippling, there's quite a lot of innovation going on here. Just not a lot of self-congratulatory "disruptive" internet BS innovation.

e.g. ARM, Dyson, the RepRap project, the Raspberry Pi, the Oxford/AZ vaccine, Rolls-Royce jet engines. Graphene. The micro-satellite. Vantablack. The genuinely trailblazing .gov.uk project. Quorn. Cloning!

And most importantly, the tikka massala, the balti, and the Henry vaccum cleaner.

(And, someone told me the other day, bungee jumping. Sorry about that)

I have no idea if our IP regime is worse or better than anywhere else's; we do not have a tradition of crazy software patents, though, so my guess is better, not worse.
Again, the article is not about the immediate aftermath but one year later (i.e. long term effects). And Sonny Colbrelli was a freak incident - "All cardiac tests carried out last night showed no signs of concern or compromised functions." https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2022/mar/22/italian-cyclis...

That's exactly why I'm pessimistic.

The real problem is that once nuclear threats work, it's unclear why Russia should stop using them. For example, they now have a major security problem with Kaliningrad being an exclave - it's completely surrounded by unfriendly countries, and now even air cannot be reliably used to supply it; only shipping via the Baltic, which is itself a route that's easy to threaten.

So suppose they demand that Lithuania gives them a land corridor from Belarus to Kaliningrad, or else? Lithuania is a NATO member, and would, of course, invoke Article 5 - but would Americans be willing to risk their own skin in a nuclear war for the sake of Lithuania anymore so than they did for the sake of Ukraine, regardless of NATO membership?

OTOH it's also unclear why Russia should respond with nukes to a conventional intervention in Ukraine. Worst case, they lose Ukraine; is that worth a nuclear war in which they lose Russia itself?

Mind you, this is assuming that Putin is rational, which is itself questionable. But if he's truly insane, then only he knows if and when he's going to press that button, and all these attempts to guess what not to do to prevent him from doing so are very likely to be futile in the long run.
Sometimes you can figure out the bug without reliably reproducing it if you have enough logs/stack traces etc.
But Woodstock, or any other tickets are a limited resource by definition, the venue can cope with X amount of people there, where X is at max some area dependent value and can be limited further by safety measurements and/or law.

So your "proper market" criteria doesn't really exist for anything but digital or virtual goods.
Really? In my experience they are very unpleasant:

- heavy to carry by hand, which you need to do when you arrive at your destination (can't leave them on the street in a bike rack)

- can't jump on and off of sidewalks without stepping off and carrying them; very dangerous around potholes and other irregularities on the road

- difficult to use in inclement weather (no mud guards, etc.)

I bought one around 8 years ago; still have it but never use it; the battery must be dead by now as I have not charged it in a very long while.
Design protection (design patents etc.) is not a UK invention, is it? It's a well-recognised WIPO tool at this point anyway.
From the picture it looks like it would be unsteady unless you hold firmly onto the handle bars - is that right? What happens if you let go?
> and you don't have to use centralized platforms.

Sure, but you'd be missing out on the benefits of the blockchain. Who will buy your paint monkey image certificate of authenticity - let alone pay a small fortune for it - if you put it up for sale on your own website instead of the big exchange where all the whales scout for their next target to over-inflate? You're right in theory, but market forces push towards centralization.

> but it is unquestionably less centralized than the alternative.

This is true, but the alternative has (literal) checks and balances, fallbacks, and legal forces in place to ensure supply and stability of the currency.

> For example, Ukraine just raised $54 million through crypto. The article doesn't even attempt to construct an argument, so there's nothing to address.

And billions in international foreign and military aid through non-crypto means; it's pocket change pushed by cryptobros that want to promote their money-making scheme.

> Looking forward to your whitepaper on your superior alternative to a blockchain.

Traditional banking. Traditional banking and fiat money is good. I mean nobody actually pays anything with crypto because of inconvenience, transfer costs, speed and value instability; it's an asset used to convert from / to fiat money, it's an investment product, it's a ledger of certificates for poorly drawn or generated jpegs.

And it's argumentative comments like this that make me resent it more and more. The only success stories and practical applications for crypto and blockchain technology I've heard is people getting rich off it. The libertarian dream; the freedom to weasel money out of easily hyped people without having to pay taxes over it.

And you know I'm salty because like everybody else, "I should've bought bitcoin ten years ago".

One could write a book about all the different forms of legal trickery that have been used to expropriate lands from people who have lived on it for generations but don't necessarily have all the "proper" paperwork. Or even if they do. I live in a backwater in Brazil and I have seen lots of this. Even "gringos" are often victims because they don't know all the hoops you have to jump through to get the proper paperwork, and no infrequently the lawyer they hire turns out to be a thief.
No need to expose yourself, possible anonimity and most important one, the absolute lack of need of a third party which is the thing that most find intresting about blockchains usecases.

Not disputing your claim, just finding it difficult to find evidence either way.
Oh they can, but that's just the public appearance; they get excited over them because they see them as potentially high return investments. But of course, the big fish already got their money (and added it to the pile they earned from a couple of scam coins, artificially inflated crypto, etc).

Nobody is under any illusions here. Except the media and their gullible audience; the media is in on it and the people behind it have a financial interest in it, and the gullible audience is easily impressed with techno-jargon, the potential of getting rich overnight, and FOMO.
Okta delegated its operations, not its security; it just happens that their operations is your security.

Your company isn't delegating any operations away? Not even support? If they are, what level of access do those people have? Are the internal services they have access to as secure as your perimeter?

Even if they aren't, the attack can come through any internal employee, and your least security conscious person is your weakest link. Again, what do they have access to? Will they be able to use them to move laterally? Spear phishing from an internal employee to another employee is really, really effective.
I'd like to add a type of bike which is tiny but not foldable: a Minivelo.

I recently ordered a frame on AliExpress [0] equipped with internal cable routing and disc brake mounts, 2.25'' tire clearance. My build looks like a gravel bike. A gravel bike on 20'' with an 11 speed cassette, a drop bar and SRAM derailleur. Of course, not to miss a great carbon sear post. Including pedals and tires, the bike accounts for 10kg.
In order to take it on flights, I did sew myself a backpack to fit the bike. Taking the bike apart takes me 10 minutes. It is a tiny bit too large for hand luggage but ideal for being checked in.

For me the frame is a great compromise between size, stiffness and maintainability.

Velo orange [1] does offer a lovely frameset, too. It's just hard to get by in Europe (at a reasonable price point).

Good catch! Bentō allows to map MIDI to knobs. The app can still run in one instance only, limiting concurrent performance/recording possibilities the DAW offers, but MIDI control should make it easier to automate recording pieces, which is nice.

If Russia invades Poland, there can only be one of two outcomes:

A. NATO crushes Russia in a ground war

B. Russia launches nuclear weapons

There is no scenario in which Putin conquers any part of Poland. I can't imagine what he could gain from it.
If you really believed what you pretend to, you would be programming in .NET on Windows computers and running your apps on Windows... or even Java.

Or take that problem to another level and use golang.

Instead, you use python and try to fix the problems with another immature solution: Nix, which has uniform builds... but not really in certain cases... and it is the same on every Linux... except not really so you kind of have to use NixOS.

> Any advice?

Introspection. There's no way to force the companies to tell you the actual reasons they decided to pass on you, so the only avenue left is for you to think long and hard about what you think those reasons might be.

I hope you don't mind, but I checked your (short) comment history, and you seem to have a lot of contempt for the companies you're interviewing with, both in terms of the products they build and their culture. Maybe some of that seeps out into the interview process and they're picking up on it?

It does. "Erase all content and settings" prompts the user to enter their password to disable Find My iPhone, and if you do it through iTunes, once the phone reboots into the clean OS it prompts on the computer to type the credentials in. You could refuse to type the credentials in leaving it locked, but Apple is pretty informative throughout the process. (You can also remove it from Find My iPhone on the web and it unlocks the device even if you don't have it anymore)
> but I would not push it as a default environment for incoming developers.

I would not push any default environment on incoming developers unless there is a very good reason to do so (eg. custom graphical lowcode tool that only works with a specialized editor). As I said, one of the beautiful things about programming is that the craftman gets to chose the tools.
That only applies if there's a thing that does exactly what you want, how you want, within your constraints. Sometimes your contribution is adding a small feature that others will find useful.

Yes this is very true. There's a certain amount of managing upward, and expectation setting that is required. Unfortunately a common feature of many companies these days is non-technical management managing technical staff, and in such cases it's indeed a dangerous proposition.

Another example perhaps as to how the software engineering field still has significant maturing to do vs. e.g. mechanical engineering.

Just a site comment:I might be in the market for a home sleep apnea test, but yours has so little information about what it is, how it works, and how it was qualified that I wouldn't consider ordering it.

By combing through your FAQ I was able to figure out that the device is actually by Ectosense, and their site says that testing can be done for 10 nights with the disposable version, which appears to be what you sell. But your site doesn't specify if it's 1 night, 2 nights, or what.

Also you don't specify if the raw data will be available, what type of report is sent, etc. etc.

Is anyone buying anything with such a dearth of information?

BTW if you change it to match what I'm rather crankily suggesting, and suddenly start getting way more orders please send me a free test :)
