You're basically trying to de-risk the idea before committing to execution. You can't do this completely, but you can do it progressively. Without going into too much detail, I suggest reading "The Lean Startup" by Eric Reis and "Running Lean" by Ash Maurya. Optionally (especially if you intend to go the enterprise route) include "The Startup Owners Manual" by Steve Blank.

Your first step will be to validate user demand. Make one or more landing pages, using your guesses about who would be interested and of compelling features, and see whether people even try downloading or registering for the (currently fictional) app. Iterate on this until you get a good idea of what users find compelling enough to try downloading or signing up. Follow up with surveys or questionaires to refine your target market and the value proposition they find compelling.

You'll find more detail on this process and the next steps in the works I've pointed you toward. At each stage your goal is to learn whether you should continue by eliminating the biggest risk (Maybe people aren't interested in alternatives? Maybe people aren't willing to pay? Maybe they want different features than you thought? Maybe they sign up but don't actually use the solution? Maybe they use it so much you can't cover costs with what you're charging? Maybe getting more users by buying ads is too expensive? Maybe users don't ask their friends or colleagues to sign up?).

Good luck!
Interesting. Since everyone insists that that everything about the US should also be about racism I will argue that getting a seat in congress due to bloated census to represent people who cannot vote is a form of political enslavement.
"Roughly 4% to as high as 12% of CEOs exhibit psychopathic traits, according to some expert estimates, many times more than the 1% rate found in the general population and more in line with the 15% rate found in prisons."

Is there anything new going on here? No-code is something I see promoted. My kids have been taught versions of this in school. But is this showing up in job requirements more and more as the years go by? Are people coming home at night from their jobs and using no-code graphical programming to work on some hobby project that controls something physical? Where is no-code being promoted by people that primary want to use it for themselves? Is there a $2 board trending with some Scratch like tool that really is useful? Is something respectable going on here? Do you consider minecraft and robloxs respectable answers? I want to be able to make a no-code CRUD forms like you could in Access and be able to use it 15 years later without having to pay a monthly fee. I would love to see google docs to commit to something like this so it's super popular. I am not bashing no-code and I have faith that something great can come out.
Yet it still forgets to surface new releases from artists I actually follow. Instead, it has pretty much become another Discover Weekly.

I really wish there were two "white" values that were software accessable. To comfortably read black on white text, I turn my backlight down, but to watch a movie, I turn it up. This makes sense because, presumably, the brightest thing in a movie will be brighter than a piece of paper...
Google is no longer fixable.
I am sure they will shorten tracks to samples without logins or try a subscription model. I am just waiting for the platform to go sour. I recently downloaded Soulseek again after 20 years. It feels like we’ve gone full circle. I like Apple Music but I want to have copies of my music on disk.
It'a pretty typical for higher level engineer roles and senior director and above manager roles for people in high cost of living markets.
They won't. Despite the fact the same people here who believed the leaked Twitter all hands video from the same source and could not refute or deny the authenticity of the it, they now scream 'fake' again especially with an internal email being sent by Twitter themselves confirming the whole situation of leaks by PV, telling them to be vigilant.

Unless Twitter is going to come out and refute that specific email, then it has been admitted and is true.

Every-time they hesitate after the release of more leaks, then the situation becomes more problematic for them.

> anyone who thinks printed text is actually black ... worked with print

Not clear. We always normally printed in K - insaturated black. Or, "typographic black", or "sufficiently black black", or "just black". «[A]ctually black» requires a definition.
I don't know why they all need to play this game. I guess because of their terrible performance after the IPO, they feel the need to make returns and using the reserves for riskier investments is just too tempting.

I'm surprised somebody like Chase hasn't started their own stablecoin and proven openly: we're backed 100% by T-Bills. We get some profit from holding your money, but it's small and safe. Why do they all have to be shady?
Indeed! From the article:

> And before we continue, let’s make it absolutely clear that we have no control of the color of the text in this very article, as it is hosted through Medium.com, which features poor visual accessibility of their site design.

Why do they do that? They even have their own domain, they can get a domain but they can't host text themselves and choose their own colors?

Medium unfortunately simply doesn't work on my phone. It shows the first paragraph of text, then just nothing, no button to expand text or anything either. Some bug, they can't even render a textual article even though browsers could do that in 1993.

I don't download music much anymore - that was much more of a thing for me in the college days. I've used Spotify and some vinyl and Bandcamp for years.

BUT I still have about 100G of music of varying organization and bitrate.

FYI, AWS Glacier Deep Archive (disaster recovery, cold storage) costs $1.00/TB/month - so if you love your data and want to make sure a fire or drive failure doesn't bring you down, I recommend using it.
Give Neeva a try (disclosure I work with them). We offer a freemium model (free basic and premium version for $5/month that includes paid versions of VPN and password manager), it's ad-free and private, it's available to anyone in U.S. and we are building our own independent stack to make the search experience unique and better.
I don't think this answer's OP's questions. Why can't you easily transact real USD?
ResHat (Fedora) is definitely not friendly against zfs. Probably because they think Oracle will never help and would rather use something else.

But if you're on Ubuntu or any other distro that require less efforts, you're missing much by using legacy filesystems.
Stephen Boyd is a very good lecturer! I watched his videos on linear dynamical systems almost a decade ago and thought he did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend.
>It was also used to shut down businesses, anyone could say they had covid, report it on the NHS phone app and then that would trigger all those people in the vicinity to have to isolate

I had significant misgivings about the app and it's efficacy. It is those misgivings that mean I don't believe this is an accurate representation.

Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, a positive case report on the app had to be backed by a PCR result, which required a code provided on a positive PCR test. A bad actor as you describe would have only one shot at a malicious shut down (and would actually need to be Covid+ to do it).

Secondly, the exposure limit was... generous. Proximity and duration had to be sufficient to form a close contact that would then be advised to self isolate and seek a test. People walking past a bad actor loitering outside a shopping centre would not meet this criteria. The shop keeper would...

...but shop keepers, retail staff et al by and large did not have the app. Employers were actively preventing their employees from downloading the application to prevent having to close for staff shortages while they were advised to isolate.

Ignoring all of this, you get into the crux of the app with the "check ins". All venues were meant to enforce the "check in" procedure - in actuality, it was pretty much only restaurants that did so. Even if you "checked in" to a venue, _you had no ability to check out_ so that if a positive case was reported on the same day you happened to be at a venue, even hours apart, you would be flagged. This meant that every positive venue ping had to be reviewed by a person, who would be tasked with reviewing which of the contacts in the venue should be contact traced. The criteria for doing so was opaque - and without the knowledge of what time people left vs arrived - and the actual device:device exposure being invisible to the contract tracer - we can only surmise that an element of inference and good old fashioned guess work was at play. And as was publicised at the time - the contract tracers found themselves with very little work to do.

>Should I also mention the Prime Minister was telling everyone to get onto Zoom for their meetings and then later on a zero click zero day exploit in Zoom surface which conveniently had given GCHQ enough time to hoover up data off plenty of systems. LOL

The Prime Minister has repeatedly demonstrated himself to be fundamentally incapable of understanding even the most basic aspects of his job, let alone technology. Hanlon's Razor comes to mind here.

Why would a .edu help you learn to fix a tire? That seems like a YouTube question, not something a school would teach, and if they did, not something that would go online.
The only meaningful way to prove thermal throttling (in any part) is to cool it down and see if that corrects the problem. This author did not do that. Correlation is not causation.
I see these comments on many links from here. There are extensions or reader mode in your browser. At least that would take care of the colors. In Vivaldi there are additional 'Page Actions' to turn a page to gray scale etc.
The reason that cap gains are taxed differently is because of inflation.

If you have 10000 in stock, and there's 20% inflation and the price of your stock goes up to 12000, you haven't made any real gains (no added purchasing power) but you have accrued 2000 in taxable gains.

Instead of adjusting returns for inflation, we just reduced the marginal tax rate for capital gains.
This happened to me too at some point. I contacted Spotify support, who, to my surprise, actually answered me (kudos for that, at least). The answer was bewildering though: apparently this can happen(!?!) in the web player! Not having time to get into a fight, I just bit the bullet and spun up their dedicated client app in a VM (no way I trust that monster to run wild on my computer). That got rid of the ads for me.

Overall, I share the sentiment that so many people in this thread express: Spotify is slowly getting worse and worse. A shame. But luckily it's not outright terrible yet, i.e. we're not outright at "pay us, and we'll show ads down your ears". Yet.

It depends, and it's complicated. Here's bash's behavior:

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Signals.h...

I'm confused about this myself because I thought bash ignores SIGTERM only when it's interactive:

https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Interacti...

In this case bash is not interactive, so I'm not sure why SIGTERM is ignored, but FWIW, the docker documentation explicitly says that it will:

> The shell form prevents any CMD or run command line arguments from being used, but has the disadvantage that your ENTRYPOINT will be started as a subcommand of /bin/sh -c, which does not pass signals. This means that the executable will not be the container’s PID 1 - and will not receive Unix signals - so your executable will not receive a SIGTERM from docker stop <container>.

https://docs.docker.com/engine/reference/builder/#cmd

The bash documentation for -c says nothing about different signal handling. POSIX mode doesn't address this behavior either.

OKR shouldn't look like a set of sprint tasks, they are supposed to mirror what results matters to your team. If your team is supposed to solve the needs of a specific customer then your OKR should be something akin to "implement features to solve customer X needs and keep them happy" and not list those features explicitly since what you build doesn't matter, all that matters is whether the customer is happy so that is the key result. Alternatively the team can be focused on developing new generic features or products to be sold to many, in those cases you can list the products explicitly since then the key result your team is delivering is that product to sell instead of keeping a specific user happy.
Using Kodi via LibreElec on a Pi3 (a B IIRC, not a B+) and x265 was a mixed bag. There is no hardware acceleration unlike on the Pi4 so it runs the general CPU cores hard. 720P was fine, but without extra cooling 1080P in summer months would eventually (60 to 90 minutes) cause it to thermal throttle and playback would fall apart. Given how warm it felt soon after starting playback, I was surprised it managed that long before throttling. You will likely get much better results with a cooling solution of some kind, particularly an active one.
> I mean they're still putting some money into Chrome and HTTP/3 and the like

Looking at the misnamed "Privacy Sandbox", Chrome is not just there to improve the Web (and therefore google usage), but also to control it (and steer advertisers to Google even if it undermines the Web as a whole).
Burning Man taught me an important lesson about expectations and satisfaction. You can't go to Burning Man and expect everybody else to give you a good time all the time, or you can end up bored, bummed out, and alone in a crowd. If you want a fun time, bring it with you. Don't spectate, participate.

Give yourself a small purpose and spend some of your work day on it. Make it something that feels rewarding. Remember, 1/3 of your life is spent at work.

Maybe you only want to focus on the technical. That doesn't mean only becoming an expert in one domain, but also pulling in knowledge from other domains for perspective and inspiration. Maybe you learn how the operating system works, or embedded design. Maybe learn how car ECUs work. Maybe in learning about cars you notice different companies make different designs, decisions, priorities, leading to different outcomes. Maybe you learn about NUMMI and the Toyota Production System. Then maybe you hear tech buzzwords that come from Toyota and find out how they're related. Then maybe you take all those non-technical ideas back into your technical work.

If you like to solve problems, you don't have to stop at technical ones. You can work on organizational problems, financial problems, logistical problems, communication problems, architectural problems. There's a million problems outside your domain of expertise, and you can learn about all of them. Your biggest problem is an overabundance of choice.

If you like to help people, you don't have to help just your immediate team. You can look at other teams and see if they need help. Maybe not even business help, but personal help. Maybe you'd like to join an employee resource group, or organize one; or a charity bake sale, or a hackathon. Or work on convincing your job to have a donation matching program, or finding a local charity to reinvest some percentage of profit into, or convincing execs to give everyone the day off on election day.

You may have heard of a country called Myanmar? Population of 54 million?

You might be surprised to learn that a citizen from Myanmar does not have access to a local bank offering USD accounts, nor do they get offers in the mail from Amex or Citibank. Their sole USD option may be holding cash under their mattress.

With a USD stablecoin, this citizen is no longer subject arbitrary exchange rates, expensive banks and risky currency storage. They can save money independently of any government or financial institution.
I can’t be the only person who much prefers the Lightning port for a phone. Reasons are:

1. There’s no breakable bits in the phone side of the port

2. The charging speed is fine

3. It’s smaller

4. I like the way it clicks in better than USB-C

5. When it gets full of lint I can dig around in it with whatever mildly soft pointy object I can find (see 1.)

Yeah, the Apple lightning cords have issues for some people. Get a good cord with good strain relief if you’re rough on cables.
This reminds me of my friends who are generally disappointed when the English team with their favorite 'premier league' players loses to other teams in the world cup.

Turns out great players in a league are playing in a specific team configuration, and the context of the league in general is very different compared to a competition between national teams at the world cup level.
The new `maybe ... end` looks nice.

Is that actually a thing?

It feels like the term "woke" has been rendered meaningless and is simply thrown around as an empty insult.
Except so many programs use black-on-white, that I've adjusted my monitor for that, and black-on-gray is now too low contrast...
The other side of the coin is that users are so used to the "free" model (read: ad model) that they refuse to pay for anything directly.

Look at youtube. They show ads and there is a non-stop stream of complaints about how long/bad/annoying they are. They offer a paid subscription to remove all ads and people laugh at the audacity youtube has to ask for money.

Users DO NOT want to see/watch ads. Users DO NOT want to pay a subscription for "free" content.

Just look at the story of Vid.me, a youtube competitor start-up that promised ad-free and sub-free videos. It was a huge hit until it hit bankruptcy.
So I will reiterate my little theory, this is not entirely Google's fault, regulations, especially KYC are responsible for this. KYC is incompatible with having a free zone. This is actually the aim of KYC, to remove free zones.

If you dont get it, let's take an example. The flat tire
mustard-yellow webpage. This page is not KYC'd. Are they laundering money through their website? Are they rallying people for a bloody crusade? A search engine cant know that (basically) but it knows a website that display ads is KYC'd so google can display them more easily.

For sure Google is pressed to help make a regulated web and stop the free zone. Knowing it's in their interest anyway (ads), they embrace it. I dont get why the internet dont get that already: it's all KYC :)

It’s weird to me that BTC is selling off more on this news. Do people just not realize how much of BTC’s value comes from Tether?
They also have no focus, as you and a reply essentially say.

For example, all the stupid aliasing of search terms, and dropping of search terms.

This is helpful if you want to optimize for "sorta close, sell things!" such as "maytag A4453 fix timer", but you want advertisers to latch on to maytag=washing machine, and ignore the rest.

And it also helps when websites with google ads on them them get higher SEO, because suggesting that site might get a click, and profit!

EG, suggest a blog/spam site, because google ads are on it.

And it also helps with google voice search! Did the speaker mean here/hear? Did they mean Danny/Daniel/Danson when they said Dan?

Google has too much genericization in its search, and it is for profit naturally, but I think it is lazy profit, and it is becoming worse yearly.

And it is all their fault, no one else's.
> Reverse-engineering the todo list to produce OKRs

I recently saw that. In a training. By a professional, paid, external trainer.

We are supposed to take our backlog, comb it for stuff that always falls between the cracks, collect that, these are our key results. [1]

Then we are supposed to invent a headline for all that assorted stuff. That's our objective.

The whole procedure is supposed to be called "bottom-up OKR". [2]

You don't have to tell me, I have actually read Doerr's book and know better, but everyone in that training went from knowing nothing about OKRs to knowing falsehoods about OKRs.

[1] yes, he really confused tasks with measurable outcomes. And yes, that procedure ensures that the not-so-important stuff gets highest priority :-)

[2] in reality, "bottom-up" refers to the company hierarchy. Bottom-up OKRs are set by lower-tier employees.
Yeah that's fair and you'd know better than I. But again for most app developers they won't notice as much. It's just systems that plug into metadata (BI tools, Hasura, etc.) that might not work as well (or I guess in Hasura's case, not work at all?).

I don't know about bcachefs' capability on this but with zfs, you can do an instant snapshot of MySQL/PostgreSQL data directory and call it a backup instead of fighting the tough fight that is database backup with their dump utilities taking a good amount of space and time and not easy to do incremental backups.
