Hardest lesson: Ship it means flip the on switch.

Yes, shipping faster means you get feedback faster. But shipping faster also means you begin customer support faster. The moment customer support happens is the moment that your development focus shifts from deliverables to bug squashing, making tweaks and balancing priorities. The moment that the system has live data is also the moment that you have to make sure any changes to the system can smoothly adapt the data that's already in the system.

The moment you ship, all of your development is going to slow down from the side effects of shipping. Slogans don't have nuance.

One thing I think is important to highlight here is people often make the argument that this sort of legislation is just a grab for power using child exploitation as a cover. But if you actually take seriously the arguments made by people like Ashton Kutcher there's no doubt that there are people who genuinely are trying to solve the problem of child trafficking and this would actually help them do that.

That's not to say that there aren't significant draw backs of this type of legislation, nor that on balance this type of solution is correct. I'm simply pointing out that there are genuine policy reasons to endorse this and if you oppose this it would be wise to find other ways of solving the concerns people like Kutcher are raising.

The results of this have been pretty bad. The chosen members rarely all met, attendance was a huge problem. They delivered the final decision well past their deadline to do so, and the process went over budget. The final map changed the overall outcome from Republican favored, to somewhat republican favored. Democrats sued because majority minority districts were removed.

The election will prove the final results, but the process so far has been pretty bad to get what appear to be not significantly different results.

I know it can sound complicated, but I usually refer to what's written in our Constitution The Constitution establishes the Government of Italy as composed of the President of the Council (Prime Minister) and Ministers. The President of Italy appoints the Prime Minister and, on his proposal, the Ministers that form its cabinet.

So it's the combination of PM (Mario Draghi right now) and Ministers, appointed by the head of State (that is now Sergio Mattarella)

This title is... wrong.

It's entirely normal for stablecoins to fluctuate in minor ways like this [1], even USDC (which is literally backed by actual US dollars in a bank account) fluctuates +- 1 cent regularly. This is because these prices come from a variety of exchanges trading these currencies, with different supply pools.

Arbitrage remediates this very quickly (Tether, at time of writing, is at $1.00). Not defending Tether, it's backing is definitely sketchy, but there's no indication it's in trouble at the moment, and this being on the front page is incredulous to me since it seems to be just some random dudes pulling up Google Stocks and speculating?

This kind of sounds to me like we're defining merit as some kind of points system where you get merit just by expending effort. Like if I work really hard at digging a hole in the dirt somewhere, I can then use my amassed merit points to get a promotion. I think most people would count being suited for a job as having high merit.

> I think there is more nuance that this. People have been burned by many 'safe' investments over the years (housing, stocks) that they incorrectly view the risk profile as similar so look for higher returns. Much has been written on how we under appreciate actual risk, especially in 'safe' investments.

I've got extremely financially literate friends who are adamant that 30-year variable rate mortgages are 0 risk.

It's not that they don't assess the risk, but the excuses are always "Inflation will eat it away", "There's no way EURIBOR can climb so high I won't be able to afford payments" and "Negative equity? In this housing market?"

Makes me shiver. Especially now that 12 Month EURIBOR rate is above 0%.

Sure, a mortgage is 0 risk if you're buying yourself a home for the next 30 years AND have the cash to buy it outright. If you're buying a financial product, perhaps you should reconsider, because it shouldn't be both. Your primary residence is not an investment.

Minority should be respected just as much as the majority. Downvotes make "less popular views" also less readable and promote a "tyranny of the majority" which is bad.

If downvotes did not affect the visibility and were called "disagree" it would be fair. Instead they serve as a mob's club in my opinion.

The very short answer is that Hungary benefits both from membership in the Western block and from being Putin's friend inside it. So they presumably don't want to go as far as leave, but rather use that as a credible threat for leverage.
I agree and I think part of it is nostalgia for a time when educational channels actually broadcast informative content, not semi-scripted, over edited, over dramatized reality tv. Did anyone else notice the slow boil of channels like History, Discovery, Animal Planet? Just irresponsible to coast on their reputation and start showing nothing but junk TV 24/7 to people who thought they were learning.

I think it started with Pawn Stars and went downhill from there. MBAs saw $$$ and had no qualms about dumbing down their national audience and trashing the reputations of the channels in the process. American TV is unwatchable IMO.

For Interferometry to work the data from different baselines has to be collected at the same time so waiting 6 months does not help. Spacecraft could theoretically be used to extend the baselines but the volume of data to be transferred is prohibitive with current spacecraft comm tech.

Even on Earth they resort to shipping cases of hard drives instead of transferring over the Internet.

One technique where simply waiting 6 months works very well is in measuring parallax. The Gaia spacecraft takes advantage of this.

I agree it is a problem, even more so in light of fake material looking more and more realistic, and the negative effects of social media on teens.

One of those other solutions is simply teaching teens the potential consequences of these actions. One sibling linked to an article 10 years ago. This was about the time schools in The Netherlands were filled with lectures regarding lover boys, sexual and emotional blackmail, and more. Despite that, many would still put themselves in a position a malicious person could take advantage of them, but at least you're arming teens with information on which to act autonomously.

I simply doubt the EU's proposed solution would really help prevent that many cases. It might even drive the more rebellious teens into sections of the internet where the consequences are far higher. Which makes giving up all that privacy a pretty hefty price, for both minors and adults.
Keep voting, per country, for the right people and capable digital people on the gov; the pendulum can swing the other way giving people the right to strong encryption. I like dreaming. Any country where that is a right by the way? So where an org like the nsa cannot exist with backdoors by law?
The problem with your current approach, and software wallets in general (as well as these recoverable wallets) is the private key is retrievable. Which sorta negates the protections given by having a single owner of the cert (the hardware wallet).

As a former landlord who had to evict someone and went through the long arduous eviction process, why shouldn’t landlords filter on ability to pay and history of being able to pay?

Don’t put the onus on the private sector. You want landlords to make it easier for people to rent? Either have the government have programs to guarantee rent or make it easier to evict people for non payment.

The U.S. hasn’t criticized British defense spending as far as I know. Yes other countries have spent money on our misadventures. They do so, as one Australian put it to me, because if someone is going to be a hyper power you could do a lot worse than have it be the U.S. In exchange for our protection other countries do support us.

I support a more isolationist U.S. policy. It’s time for America to engage in an imperial retreat.

Hey, I can't see it on your page, what's your selling price?

I am selling a very similar programmable display for $169, but it has a bigger screen and a wooden frame:

https://www.invisible-computers.com/programmable-e-paper-scr...

I suspect your price point is much lower than mine?
I disagree, and that's why I responded. I've seen too many "we'll do whatever we need to do to get sales" turn into salespeople making unrealistic promises on impossibly tight deadlines.

So then the sale is made, but in a way that ends up destroying the long (and even medium) term health of the business. Product/engineering goes on a death march to get things done, by the end of it many of those folks are burnt out, customers are unhappy, and sales folks see the writing on the wall and are happy to bail with their fat commission.

It's like saying "do whatever you need to raise your stock price." There are healthy and unhealthy ways to do that, and the advice is useless if you don't carefully distinguish between the two.
> Consequently, the world as a whole is a lot safer because {flight time Russia-US} >> {flight time Europe-Russia},

The US stations some of its nukes in Europe, so the flight time is less than you think.

Also, it is widely believed that the US has an “understanding” with certain European countries that in extreme circumstances (aka World War III) the US will hand those nukes over to the host countries, and then the host country governments will decide for themselves what use to make of them. In part, this helps discourage nuclear proliferation-Germany or the Netherlands don’t need to make their own nuclear weapons because they know if they ever really need them, Uncle Sam will help them acquire them real real fast (“here’s the keys to the safe, good luck”)

> Every single reason a founder can come up with not to be out there selling like "The product isn't finished", "It needs feature X", "It's not fast enough", "It needs better design", etc is wrong.

But don't you run the risk of some potential customer coming, trying it, deciding it's crap, moving on, and now they are burned for the foreseeable future? So, once your product isn't that crap anymore, they won't come back try again, since your brand is burned and has built a "that's crap" reputation?

Honestly I’m an avid fan of all of the “Planet” series precisely because of Attenborough.
In terms of numerical computing I don't think this is going to be a battle of core language speed, Python has already lost here. The question is going to be what are the advantages of a language designed with a focus on number crunching vs a multi-purpose language with some number crunching extensions.

I mostly do scientific computing but I really enjoy the toolchain of an extremely popular multi-purpose programming language (Python) + C extensions where necessary for speed. The reason is that many tasks these days are not just pure number crunching. If I need to start up a quick web server, do some web site scraping, basically anything can be done easily from Python. It's unlikely Julia will ever be able to catch-up in these areas.
so it'll take 10 years to reach the courts, who'll (maybe) strike it down

then they'll re-legislate, pass it in a slightly modified form, and then we wait 10 years again

Yes indeed, taxes are annual - and I told you clearly that I have years (usually less than one) when I can work well followed by years (usually multiple) when I can't work at all. E.g. in 2017 I was able to work 7 months and then nothing 2 years, then 3 months and nothing for a year, etc. I'd have passed your threshold in 2017 (if we adjusted by purchasing power) but thankfully there was none and so I was just barely able to make enough money to stay off the street during the two following years (but I wasn't that lucky the next period).

I shouldn't take any precedence whatsoever, but others shouldn't have any precedence over me. It's bad enough that I'm unable to get any assistance because "I'm rich enough" - actually I'm in serious debt.

The most draconian collector I had was the tax agency, which assigned me interest larger than the worst loan shark you could find anywhere in the world; they don't care that a court locked me up in a hospital and disabled my bank accounts, I got 0.3%/day (yes, per day) "to motivate payment ASAP". I guess I should've just unstrapped myself from the bed, get a gun, rob the bank of my own money, and pay? Other creditors like banks were just OK to chill a little until I'm back, even the gangster drug dealer guy I had to borrow from when banks wouldn't see me treated me with much more respect than the state.

That's what you want more of? GTFO with that, you will just fuck up poor people's lives even more - the stories in the hospital were very similar to mine, and those other people don't have the big annual wage I can get as a programmer. If you think the state will try to help poor people, tell me why is it not helping at least a little now? I'm from a poor family, where was the state when I wasn't a programmer yet? Let me tell you, it was working hard to fuck us up even more. And now after my hard work overcoming my own problems, in spite of everything the state has thrown at me, you're saying it should get even more of my work?
So, what kept us from pointing a camera in that direction and snapping this picture up until now?

My #1: Get really good at user testing so that you minimize risk every step of the way. I can't say this enough as it has totally changed how I approach startups, new features, and core assumptions (and weirdly my personal life).

My #2: If you have co-founders, make weekly rituals to ensure you stay in sync over everything else. When you get out of sync, bad things happen. This can also be applied to investors, board members, spouses, etc etc etc...

My #3: If you are making a bet write it out in detail about what the bet is, what the assumptions are, and then write in detail why you are doing each piece and examine it from multiple POVs. Writing that down over a period of weeks ensures a good thought process most of the time. Write it out as if you are giving a presentation. This has helped me in so many ways.

Those are the big ones that have been huge with startup/business/life.

What is navigation and what is state is not always clear. Example:

Visit
https://www.dpreview.com/

Next, we open this article:
https://www.dpreview.com/samples/7583235225/nikon-z-50mm-f1-...

Within the article, we click the main photo, which opens another page with a slideshow:
https://www.dpreview.com/sample-galleries/8661039925/nikon-z...

As we're keenly interested in the slideshow, we use the next arrow to cycle through all 47 photos.

Now that we're done with that, the slideshow has no further use, so let's hit BACK to return to the article we came from, and BACK again to return to the homepage.

Doesn't work, we have to hit BACK 47 times first. Because in this case slideshow manipulation is seen as navigation, and thus part of history.

Is navigating a slideshow state or navigation in itself? You tell me, it's not very obvious. Each slide is bookmarkable so it very much looks like a navigation action. And yet it does not lead to a great experience.
What's the logic with this? So, everyone is a suspect, who must be under constant and continual surveillance. You are guilty, until you can prove that you are innocent.
