I have spent my early and mid 20s working on copycat Startups. Some made money, some not. I have learnt entrepreneurship in the hard way like lack of funding, unreliable partners, rough market conditions and disruption by other solutions. It made me more mature and conscious in life, however I know I missed out many things my peers experienced: travels, relationships, marriage, kids, whatever makes a person happy.

Entrepreneurship can be extremely hard. Believe me. All the people who become successful in their 20s by starting a company is just a small fraction of whoever tried.

However entrepreneurial mindset is very applicable for most of the jobs and useful mindset in every aspect of ones life. Trial/error/retry, build-measure-learn like Lean, any Agile framework teaches the same: adapt to change. It doesn't matter if you are about to build an app or try out a new sport, you should always be open to adjust your strategy to approach things.

Don't be afraid of spending your 20's/30's in employment, whichever company, your brightest ideas will come later as you progress in life and career. You can still surround yourself with people who are wiser and more experienced regardless of your current occupation.
I had two of FAANG reach out in very close proximity recently as well (and I had not had them contact me in the past). No insight as to why, it may be just a coincidence, or maybe they have all been doing a hiring push recently and casting a wider net to adjusting their search criteria

(Opinions are my own)

My favorites from the list, that I did not see other companies (specifically startups) do at all:

> A single large release may be divided into a series of lower-risk well-understood rollouts.

> Design documentation should not be an afterthought but an integral part of the software engineering process.

> Coordinate reviews for the design doc and compare the design as it evolves with the original doc to verify that all the relevant constraints are being addressed.

It might suck to spend 4hr writing a doc and 1hr*(N engineers) reviewing it but getting everyone aligned, and writing down why you did something and what was considered but ignored, is one of the super powers people have. At larger companies this process, when done informally, can be done in under a day and save months of headaches down the line. Especially so when the reviewer leaves comments like "can we break X up into milestone A, B, and C instead of rolling our a single piece".
So it's not ovid's deucalion and pyrrha but kinda like it.
What do you guys think about the claim that no alternative energy source can really compete with fossil fuels?

Isn't there a surge in green energy production right now?
Legally, it's a very flimsy basis on which to attack the current structure and operation of the country. It is simply untrue that Congress is not allowed to delegate its powers, and where to draw the line has always been a subjective judgment that different courts have drawn differently. https://constitution.findlaw.com/article1/annotation03.html

And frankly, I think the anti-administrative state people are on the payroll of polluters who want the regulators to be politicians who are more dependent on big business for funds.

Congress should be allowed to leave things to the experts if it wants to. After all, it is free to change the scope of regulatory agencies at any time.
Yup these are all very good, couldn’t find one I disagreed with. I loved the statement on nuance around idioms like YAGNI, which can easily be abused.
Last time I checked you can only control the official Spotify application on iOS with your own app, wich also means your app has to throw the user into Spotify to be able to start playback and then Spotify kicking it back to your app once playback started. A truly horrible user experience.
I think a lot of small music discovery apps will either break or have to fall back to the above experience.
My guess is this is the actual reason for the sunsetting, similarly how Twitter cut back the API access back in the day.

Japan's home prices have been flat, over decades, which means housing remains relatively affordable:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/what-housing-crisis-in-japan-ho...

The West has not kept up with housing demand, which turns homes into more of an investment than they should be in the first place. The CPI adjusted price of a home is over double what it was in the mid-century:

https://dqydj.com/historical-home-prices/

If each subsequent generation has decreasing levels of home ownership, spending a higher percentage of their income on housing, the fact that you get to retain the value of your property more easily could be seen as a moot point.

You always have to live somewhere, and if the price of your home increases, selling it just means you have to find another place to live that is equally expensive. The only thing this cycle of "investment properties" does is make life worse for the youngest generation.

Once LH2-fueled aircraft enter a market, kerosene-fueled craft will be wholly unable to compete. The rate will be limited by how fast retrofits or new airframes can be made, and secondarily by growth of LH2 synthesis infrastructure at major airports. Kerosene craft will be relegated to increasingly marginal routes.

Amusingly, Russia could find itself fielding LH2 birds first just because they will need all new aircraft sooner than everybody else.
Practical, not good :-)
Now that is something to be proud of.
I did a tender for aggregating events and emitting notifications from a fleet of transport vehicles that reported metrics over LTE.

When connected they would emit events as they happened, but when there was poor service or disconnection they would buffer them and send them as a burst once they reconnected... in reverse order.

I forget the finer details, but the service I was writing was supposed to notify of trucks entering and leaving geofences, inactivity etc. anything you can think of where the order of events is important.
Nuts, that is an excellent point. I am failing to find the outflow concentration of salt, but you are correct that the output is likely to be only mildly concentrated (eg 7% salt). For all I know, it take an order of magnitude more energy to emit pure salt rather than a brine. Total amount of salt is not insurmountable, but the volume of output would be challenging quickly without enormous evaporation pools.
Copyright laws are like medicine. Ideally you want good copyright laws just like you want good medicine. If you can't get or don't have good copyright laws, it's better to have no copyright laws rather than bad copyright laws. All copyright laws do now is feed the parasites. Better to be rid of it altogether.

Some entrepreneurial things worked out, some speculative things worked out, they're not mutually exclusive to me.

(When I do an entrepreneurial thing, I think of the shares I create as being part of my portfolio just like shares I bought from someone else. Its the same buy low, sell high mentality to me. Pocketing some/alot of the revenue is an option as well, if there is any revenue, ha.)

Also, turns out accredited investor status (and similar wealth thresholds for financial products) are "self-certifications", which is a euphemism for lying. Took me longer than it should have to catch on to that. The only exception being a Reg D 506(c) offerings, which require proof of accredited investor status. It also took me a while to understand that the consequence isn't on the individual, its on the person selling shares. And they want your money, they just need to check a box. The government says "you can check that box, if they say so". So, no sanction on them as long as they ask (for the most part), and you don't act like a poor person scrounging around for the money you said you had. Maybe one of those private investments hit, and never look back. Better than wasting 4-8 years of your life being paid in lottery tickets across a handful of companies, lottery tickets that have worse odds than the investors of the same company have purchased.
Same. Maybe they just used counterpoint incorrectly? Misunderstanding?
Factories to make hydrogen electrolysers need to be built first.

China got a jump on us and is selling electrolysers pretty cheap. Somebody is buying those.
To quote Kurt Vonnegut:

> What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow.

I want to add to it that it doesn't matter where you find space for it – if your day job is 'boring', as in not giving you an opportunity for self actualization, you can find space for it in relationships and in hobbies, in sport and in art.
I'm sorry this is just nonsense, as has been pointed out many times, exchanges are not constrained by the blockchain of any particular cryptocurrency, most of their transactions don't take place on a blockchain and their customer balances are not stored on the various blockchains.

You may as well talk about this being impossible with paper money, the bank can't give out more than it has! There are only so many notes! But it doesn't need to. People can trade within the bank and between banks so long as the reserves cover the activities.

Quadriga CX worked this way, until it didn't and everyone discovered their cryptocurrency was fictional.

We're eventually going to have a Mars colony. Is there any prior art that we can look to for a likely system of governance? Will it inherit the constitution of the founding country?

Throughout history, it seems there is a huge opportunity to improve things when you can start fresh in a new place. Will we do that with Mars?
You need to look at it statistically though. Many more have failed than succeeded and while not exactly the same, your argument could be used for someone wanting to be a FIFA or NFL athlete. Sure, some succeed, but many don't. Same with the million-dollar business idea.
It is truly bonkers how much stuff comes wrapped in plastic (especially where paper would do just as good a job).

Fuel synthesis equipment will never be idle except when long-term storage is actually being drawn down. The output is too valuable for too many things. Everyone will massively overbuild generating capacity in order to keep their electrolysers busy at all times.
I feel like low-quality advertising results, low-quality-match results, and scammy results are at least 3 different bad search result types to get, and folks here are talking about the former

of course, google gets paid to show them, and I don't think anyone here realistically expects google to voluntarily stop intentionally fucking up search results unless it somehow means a larger paycheck to them
That's not true for all civil cases, though. The Seventh Amendment says, "In suits at common law, where the value in controversy shall exceed twenty dollars, the right of trial by jury shall be preserved, ..." As has been described elsewhere here, this was interpreted to provide a jury right in suits at law but not in equity. You can also waive your jury right by agreeing not to invoke it, say in a contract.

I very much hope none of it will "come to anything" --- if plastic-eating organisms start becoming widespread, and there is definitely plenty for them to feed on, we'll face a much bigger problem.

with the idea that the public will feel better about all the plastic that is being thrown into the environment and landfills.

Personally, I don't think it's anywhere as much of a problem as the environmentalists claim it is either. Much like the biomass from long ago which has become the oil of today, I'm pretty sure the plastic waste of today will simply become the oil of the future.

I think implicit in your comment is that the New Deal must not actually be amazing because it turns out that it's likely unconstitutional but... how does that logically follow? It's not like the Constitution was handed down from the heavens as a flawless document.

It may be that the New Deal does contain many unconstitutional provisions, but also that that same legislature was in fact a net benefit for Americans.
Get outta here ATF.
The point is that until all fossil fuel plants are shut down, when you have “excess power” that means you could either shut down FF plant or charge some batteries. If you choose the latter then the FF plant is effectively charging the battery.

That is better though for when the renewable plant isn’t running.
I used to fear this, until I read posts on a similar site about how frequently founders botch this and how understanding the IRS is with these situations. Obviously this only applies to the US. When I saw my first success, I paid a CPA ~$1000 (for hundreds of thousands in revenue) to help sort out the first year of taxes (before they were due) and it wasn't a problem.

To summarize someone else's better point: worry about this problem when you have it. In the mean time worry about problems you have right now.
If you listen to her it makes her sound more sociopathic than whoever "unbanned her". Spoiler alert: it wasnt the person she had sex with.

She says she stalked linkedin until she found a FB employee who could explain the process. Slept with that person. Got the person to explain the process and that it was someone in a different department. Broke it off by "doing toxic stuff" and then looked at the persons linkedin connections until she could find someone assigned to the department who eventually unbanned her. (And it was multiple people she had to message until she found someone receptive)

Meanwhile the FB employee sounds like someone who got used for the most part.

> Landfills already have protections against leeching into the surrounding environment.

Not to get into tinfoil hat territory, but can any large enough industry be trusted on narratives regarding how waste is handled ?

I don't think there is controversy around landfills leaking. There is debate on wether it's as bad as we think, or the actual impact, but then I find it hard to take a "We don't hear about it in the news, so it's probably fine" stance when we got served BS "we're all in on recycling, don't worry just buy more from us" narratives for decades with almost nothing actually getting recycled.

PS: more on leakage from an industry publication: https://wasteadvantagemag.com/how-much-does-my-landfill-leak...

> As a result of advances in installation quality and CQA practices, leakage rates greater than 50 liters per hectare per day (lphd) have decreased significantly in the past 20 years.

Especially with json types in Postgres for example. I can store data that’s suboptimal to use traditional databases to access (think complicated and varying form data) but retrieve it and reference it from table relationships traditionally.

Well, yes, you can use hydrogen. But you will always have to use some carbon too.

I've gotten to the midlife crisis part... but with a large family and a mortgage, I think crisis mode is going to linger until I finish paying off my mortgage in a couple years. For some reason my wife doesn't like the idea of me quitting my dev job and buying a farm out in the country. So I'm the guy that grows things on every square inch of land and raises chickens, rabbits, and anything else my zoning ordinance allows. If I could farm and write software remotely on a part-time basis, I think I would like that. That's part of the problem with these big changes in life. You never quite know how it's going to impact you. But you'll never know if you don't try, right? And the idea of part-time software development seems almost blasphemous in the era of "go go go" sprints.
> For somebody who just had about 1% of their lifespan re-assigned

Your use of the passive voice here makes it seem like the woman wasn't involved in the decision. Choosing to rely on contraception, which has a low but nonzero failure rate, means accepting the low but nonzero possibility of conceiving a child. Having sex without the willingness to bear possible children is tacitly accepting a possibility of needing to kill that child.

The only acceptable choice is to only have sex when you're willing to keep the natural products of sex. This applies to men and women alike. It might be difficult or hard to imagine for some, but it's simple.

I would absolutely support the government easing the burden of women impregnated by rape, including free ultrasounds, pregnancy-related physician visits, a stipend to make it easier for them to order food when they're nauseated and don't want to cook, hell even massages by pregnancy-certified masseuses. Until the government provides those services, I do what I can by donating to life centers.

> Also what festivals are a month long? I have a feeling we may be in different tax brackets haha.

Usually not just a single thing, but if you go to some main ones its easy to get caught up in a string of things with other people that think its normal to keep going.

Art Basel in Miami last December was 1 week long, and surrounded by multiple other festivals. The energy stays there for some time, and next thing you know its New Years which has its own surge again.

Cannes Film Festivals is two weeks and goes right into the Monaco Grand Prix, and the opening parties in the party areas (St Tropez, Ibiza).

SXSW is the same way.

Oh, the seasonal Fashion Week's are actually the best example. NYFW goes into London Fashion Week, into Paris, into Milan. Then a month has definitely gone by. This happens in both February and in September.

There are a bunch of bullshit tech conferences if thats more your speed, just excuses to go to some cities with other people that want to party, or are kind of looking for deal flow, or are in sales at a big company. A lot of VC people wind up at those for their endless excuses to get on a stage and talk amongst themselves in a "fire side chat". You can invite them out more easily when you don't seem like someone that needs them.
Totally. If I can’t fix it myself it won’t be fixed by big corp whether Apple, Google whoever. Just upgrade as slowly as possible to avoid more broken garbage.
Until renewables are fully built out, storage is useless. So we burn natural gas at night for a while. When there is enough generating capacity to supply demand and charge storage at the same time, then we install the storage and charge it. Storage will be radically cheaper at that time than now.

In the meantime, every spare dollar should go to building out renewables. At some point spending on mined gas declines naturally because it is the most expensive energy.
Processes were included to amend the constitution for this exact reason! Of course the framers knew that it was a flawed document.

If a new non-youngster developer wants to pursue the legacy app/niche language strategy described in the article then I tend to agree. ColdFusion is easy to learn but at the same time it's really just an abstraction layer for Java. If one finds they want to dip into the guts then that's certainly available. As you note, there's a respectable number of legacy apps, often in the US federal government sector. One still has to learn SQL, CSS, JS, etc.
