"How to make a million dollars: First, get a million dollars.” – Steve Martin
Evan Williams would be the comeback story. Medium would play the role of NeXT whose core technology shapes the way forward.
Good lord! Why am I totally unsurprised.
Neural network renaissance definitely renewed the interests to use neural networks as function approximators in many areas.

For the one I am interested in recently (dynamics control), many networks are small feed-forward ones or two-layer LSTMs. The importance there is about balance robust controller v.s. update frequency. If you can run the same controller at higher frequency, it is basically free performance improvement (the robot will be more stable, more responsive etc.).
Be required to burn your 15 minutes of fame to get a reply from a company whose services you're paying for isn't worthwhile.
Maybe it's because I'm a visual learner that I stored panel 6 and not panel 4.... Even though I clearly stored it incorrectly regardless.
I'm actually betting on the opposite. Better proof systems will allow programmers to accomish many multiples of current productivity.
If there was a legal way to do this, wouldn't we all be doing it?
Basically every consumer protection and environmental regulation fits this pattern.

Why people would think these things don't need regulation is a better question.

Upton Sinclair's the Jungle is one famous example:

https://www.crf-usa.org/bill-of-rights-in-action/bria-24-1-b...

> Almost as an afterthought, Sinclair included a chapter on how diseased, rotten, and contaminated meat products were processed, doctored by chemicals, and mislabeled for sale to the public. He wrote that workers would process dead, injured, and diseased animals after regular hours when no meat inspectors were around. He explained how pork fat and beef scraps were canned and labeled as "potted chicken."

> Sinclair wrote that meat for canning and sausage was piled on the floor before workers carried it off in carts holding sawdust, human spit and urine, rat dung, rat poison, and even dead rats. His most famous description of a meat-packing horror concerned men who fell into steaming lard vats:

> . . . and when they were fished out, there was never enough of them left to be worth exhibiting, --sometimes they would be overlooked for days, till all but the bones of them had gone out to the world as Durham's Pure Leaf Lard!

> their support is almost nonexistent

This is the critical bit. If you're happy with a vanilla product where you essentially search for how to access every feature ("how do I make a pivot table?"), Google Suite is for you. I use it for just low-value bags of documents, nothing critical in it at all. I never have a need for special features, and anything I do need I'm confident is actually there because I only use spreadsheets for totally vanilla stuff. I also don't depend on anything being available, so I avoid the pain every time there's an outage.

I think for that kind of service, a few bucks a month is about right.

For anything that needs a higher level of service, you don't really want to rely on a business whose strategy revolves around minimal customer interaction.
There are probably a lot of parameters to a solution that will work for you. Having had similar periods in my life, while I'm waiting for a resolution I've always found small physical projects that I see through to completion to be a great way to wait. When you complete something, it provides something positive to you, neurologically and thereby emotionally.

It may seem silly, but at least for me, tilling a new garden, building a small physical thing, doing some task that's physically taxing and I can see through has been great while waiting for the end of my larger difficulty. It won't solve all your problems, as implied above, but it could be a good stop gap while you're looking for solutions. Your therapist (or a new one if this one doesn't work out) could provide long-term solutions I'd hope.

You're not alone, friend. You will get there -- I've done it a number of times (though in my case, without the money part figured out; well done in that regard!).

For sure. Dozens of users will migrate to Mastodon.
The author is of course mostly right but forgets to address the fact that she is also a privileged (even before getting married) when compared to the vast majority of the world population. So yes, we live in a world were a lot of who we will be is predetermined at birth.
> I think one thing that you and others in the US should realise is that the US won't be able to check Chinese military power in the Pacific indefinitely.

I agree, well, in theory. But anything can happen. The US could dissolve. China could have a revolution. China could stop caring. Who knows? But for the foreseeable future I think that this is the case (US can check China in the Pacific).

But to your point, it seems inevitable that the US will maintain interests but likely lose its current foothold in Asia. But that just lends credit to my statements that China won't invade Taiwan. There's no point when you can just wait for the inevitable. They rushed it in Hong Kong and delayed this inevitability by scaring the Taiwanese who were lukewarm toward China and increasingly warming up via economic ties and Chinese influence on Taiwanese politicians. But similarly to Hong Kong, if China were to invade not only is there a serious chance that they would be defeated by the US and allies, if that fail to take Taiwan in a meaningful strategic sense they'd likely just cause themselves harm internally and further delay what appears to me to be an eventual loss of US presence.
What law forbids offering to buy a company?
But of course, the money surplus has to go SOMEWHERE... and eventually someone would defect, and take a loss to make up on volume.

I have asked wholesalers this (who produce cars, lighters, etc.) and they say that they have a licensing agreement and can just kick out retailers who sell below MSRP too much. So those retailers would have to then get the goods from other retailers.
Then I admire their confidence (and wonder how they think he did it before social media).

Por que no los dos?

There are reasons to prove things and reasons to program things. What is the hypothetical individual trying to accomplish that they can do more via programming than proofs?

Also, as pointed out by others, as of the 20th century we had automated proof systems which have only improved in the 21st century. So someone wanting to prove things can do a lot more now without relying as much on proving "by hand".

The actual, current discussions on regulation in the field make clear that the primary impediment to adoption is in fact government.
They are a state backed corporation with a harem of slimey lawyers. They can "request" whatever they want. I doubt devang has the time and financial means to deal with months of litigation so he is easy prey for the NYTimes. All he can do is "thank" them for the "request" and move on with his life.
Maybe they are a “monopoly” because of the cheap and good services they provide. The only bad monopolies are the ones using violence to hold on to it. Examples include mafia, terrorists, talibans, governments etc.
Can you imagine if they pivoted to an onlyfans model and allowed certain people to charge followers a few?

> I wish they'd mandate a standard for rechargeable batteries for the lawn equipment.

This has never occurred to me but that seems obvious. I wonder if it's just not something on lawmaker's radar.

We know that all tool makers will scream and say "how can we be sure 3rd party batteries won't explode in our tools?" I wonder if there could be some sort of certification for both batteries and tools that would mitigate such an issue.
I don't think the group described is so much the "self-made" crowd so much as the "longsuffering, chronically underemployed millennial".

I personally have a lot of friends to who fit this description to a T - they will complain about living paycheck to paycheck but then also tell you which island in Hawaii is their favorite. And when you wonder why they are still turning down good paying jobs in their 30s you realize they eventually have a house and a sizable inheritance they are looking forward to one day.
Can you try do detail what exactly you want about modern web? I'm asking because to many have forgotten, teaches included, that the web and internet are two distinct things or to be more precise one is the platform that run also the other, but not only the other.

Long story short: if you want VoIP that's not necessarily a web thing, it's an internet thing. Public users DB again that's can be a web thing, in the sense a site a person, but can also be a Wikidata-like services without any web frontend, something that just offer an open API and anyone who want implement a local client for it, with relevant download/sync of information, caching etc. Internet banking? The same: a simple local desktop application that talk on an open protocols to your banks/peers, store copy of any transaction digitally signed by both parts AND by a State-run official public service as a guarantee for both etc all those things are not necessarily web and actually can be far superior in a classic networked desktop version.

About crowdsourced news and aggregators: did you try to consider a classic personal one? I mean RSS feeds of a set of sites you like to follow with local scoring and peer recommendation service built-in? It can be far powerful than Google News or FB user homepage. It does not exists simply because no one actually have written it since most of the development is pushed toward web for economical reasons, but not because the web is better. It does not exists because most people fails to imaging a different world in terms of different tools and lifestyles so fails to see the enormous advantages for us users of that classic model witch actually was and still is the base of the entire IT and still the most advanced tech we have...

Did you remember Popcorn Time? Well who impede to build a FacebookTime for instance over ZeroNet? Why do most people not ask nor look for a homeserver and ISPs that offer static IPv6 global addresses to run their own personal infra so for instance just sharing photos does not means passing through Google Drive or iCloud? Why we do not push classic distributed iNUM/VoIP so we can make call with a very big number of participants and not much bandwidth issues? Those are not technical stuff but just human habits. We all se the modern web and most of us fail to imaging a different world.
>Seems like an amazing move by Elon

You and I have very different definitions of the word "amazing"
Reality is in between your two takes, IMO.

There is a limit to the debt-to-GDP ratio before reality takes over. Baked into the assumptions on debt is inherent growth in GDP. It's rare, but there are scenarios where you may see real contraction in GDP and, frankly the present geopolitical and global economic climate is ripe for such events. If that happens, then the US entering some inflationary spiral to service debt isn't totally 100,000 year "ice-age" ridiculous. It's more like ~100 year cold snap.
Fortunately you are in an excellent position to be able to just stop everything and think long and hard on what will make you happy.

Myself personally and I imagine a lot of other people out there are in the same boat, minus the money to be able to stop and reflect.

Make some changes. Maybe some will be the wrong ones, fine, keep doing it.
Natural language is ambiguous, so I do not think any programming by example methods will work well here. I think if you are working with a limited vocabulary in the set of sentences you want to parse, it may be fine to roll out a handmade solution. For general english, there is work in intent identification in NLP that can give you structured intents from raw english text, which can then be lifted to make programs as a secondary step.
Got an electric mower a few years ago for a small lawn. Quiet, cordless, zero maintenance.

Moved houses and got a bigger lawn. Got an electric riding mower - a big one - to make sure it could handle the lawn in 1 go. It was expensive, but again zero maintenance, no gas, oil etc, always charged and ready to go.

I have been impressed so far. Next up electric car.

Got solar panels to charge my electric devices. I'm aiming for the long game - hoping it'll pay off in the long run both in cost and environmental.
If the stock was flat while Elon was buying almost 10% of the company, it probably would have declined quite a bit if he hadn't been buying, because the people who sold the shares Elon bought would have been looking for other buyers.
People complain about fiduciary duty lawsuits but "authorizing 'blank check' preferred stock, which could be issued by our board of directors without stockholder approval and may contain voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock" and then using it to go against a vast majority of shareholders could result in a huge court fight.
It's certainly a very impactful service.
There’s no logical reason to think that the once in a century pandemic response bubble price is in some way the “true” price.
To my understanding, this at the moment is neither hostile nor a takeover, but a (rather direct/rude/aggressive; pick whatever adjective you want) question to the board to advise shareholders to accept Musk’s offer.

It could become any of the four options failed takeover, failed hostile takeover, takeover, or hostile takeover.

If the board says “good idea” and advises shareholders to accept the offer, it could or could not become a takeover, depending on whether enough shareholders (by share count) accept it (I don’t know how many is enough, but it’s almost certainly more than 50%, as an OK would force _all_ shareholders to sell. You can’t take a company private and keep shareholders around)

Technically, that wouldn’t be a hostile takeover, though, as it would be with agreement by the board.

If the board advises shareholders to reject the offer Musk could persevere. In the end, if enough shareholders sell their shares to him, the board’s opinion doesn’t matter. if enough shareholders do that, it would become a hostile takeover.
By that logic, no takeover is every high enough for any takeover. Or for any sale of anything? Long only!
If this question is serious, then it's a terrible way to think. What is "making" a million dollars? Revenue? Profit? Are you just leveraging $10k into loans? Is it investment money? Are you starting a company? Any of those things should lead to a long-term strategy of growth, not to a random, big-sounding target dollar-amount.

If this question is merely facetious, then the only appropriate answer is spend $10k on counterfeiting. The only sure-fire way to get 10,000% growth in a year is fraud.
Of course not but it’s an easy target for this kind of articles. Like the natural wine.

The major difference is in America you can criticize what America did to Iraqis at the top of your lungs and work to get different leaders elected. Can't do the same in China without consequences.

I feel the stock of Twitter could easy go above 54$ in less than 2 or 3 years no?

I guess it depends on that, do you think Twitter stock will just keep going down, or could it relatively quickly outperform that offer?

> If there was a legal way to do this, wouldn't we all be doing it?

Not necessarily. People are lazy / insecure / impatient / etc.

The OP stipulates minimal capital but nothing about level of effort.

There are near infinite paths to increase capital 100x, and many of those routes require extraordinary amounts of effort.
So, you're saying the crypto-industry is just like the banking industry?

Another factor is that you don't have to ship the data to the other side of the PCI bus.
One of the hardest lessons I've been learning is that I need to "choose" what I want to be and then do it. When the responsibility fades a bit after hectic decades, it can feel pretty empty. Do you want to become really awesome at DnD, woodcrafting, body building, church service, etc?

Pick 1 or 2 and double down. Choose what you want to become and give yourself a goal rather than inheriting one.
I don’t see any connection between ownership and moderation. Perhaps Elon does. But he can be called on by the Senate just as any board appointed CEO. Curious if someone can explain the connection.
Seems very non-Elon, because he's about disrupting established things, right? Or no. Pick one.

In true HN fashion they ignore people were pirating and streaming content to multiple rooms before a big company brand caught onto the idea and profited from it.

I have multi-room streaming using “dumb” speakers, and copper wire (for audio and network). I control one content box and aim it at different speakers from my phone, tablet, laptop. Siri Shortcuts decouple me from waiting for an MBA to approve adding voice commands.

I know; brave flex sticking with simple wire versus going wireless.
"Our billionaires, their oligarchs. Our trade associations, their cartels. Our corporate lobbying, their corruption..."

Some people like to define oligarch to mean "non-American billionaire" but I personally don't. Musk has a lot of de facto political influence.

Even if you don't think he is one right now, he would certainly become one after owning the platform that censored the sitting POTUS.
Only if they (or others) imply that "everyone could have done it" and use their "self-made" success to argue against social safety-nets like unemployment benefits and healthcare for all.
What about HDRadio? A home scale FM broadcast could accomplish this efficiently and cheaply. Each speaker would just need an FM receiver.

I guess the downside is that your neighbors could listen to whatever you're listening to but who listens to terrestrial radio in their home that is received OTA anymore?

We've been having consistent issues with swapping slots on Azure App service lately and support can't help us pinpoint the issue. Wondering if it's a general issue throughout the platform or if it's just us.

Not to be semantic but this can be measured very differently depending on who you ask, and if someone's objective function has deaths weighing much more heavily than personal freedom (actually not an insignificant amount of people in the US as well subscribe to this for covid) then yea that is "good". Else I'm unaware of a universal agreed upon definition of the best tradeoff to make.

From that day onward, they could receive FM/AM signal directly to their consciousness using their RF empowered finger-antenna, and they swore always to use their powers for the greater good. Nothing could possibly go wrong from there. Jokes aside, I wonder what effect intensive RF bursts could have on tissue compared to UV exposure or a burn?
