I'm against carbon taxes which I see it as your typical neoliberal designed to be easily foiled non-solution.

Really this isn't something where the 'free market' and 'magic hand' will magically fix things. Everything that needs to be done is clear as day.

Want to reduce emission from people driving? Implement work from home, not too far from home polices. Provide for buy backs for older fossil fueled cars and steep excise taxes on new ones. Soften the pain for working class people with down payment assistance and grants for electric cars, heat pumps, etc. Pass laws requiring utilities to sunset fossil fuel plants.

None of this is hard it's just willful stupidity and ideology in the way.
I'd certainly love to believe this, but it has most definitely not materialized yet. I'm not sure that self-inflicting economic pain in order to incentivize development of alternative fuels is a good strategy.

Fresh milk is linked with some viruses that can cause autoimmune diseases like type-1 diabetes and bunch of other stuff.

Always makes my eyes roll when I hear people driving hours just to get fresh farm milk.

Oh wait.

But seriously, I always had an inkling of unsureness about using Kaspersky. Could never really place my finger on why.

Dodged a bullet I guess?

Whilst I have not kept a list myself, I've seen SaaS products drastically change after acquisitions. Some SaaS products under new ownership stop serving small customers all together and focus on large enterprises. This is as a much risk as shut downs.

In terms of Bootstrapped SaaS, what I have noticed since 2004 is that bootstrapped does not mean the companies are operated by a single person.

As a bootstrapped SaaS founder, you can start building a team with revenues by hiring team mates. By doing this, you reduce the risk rate for your customers.

Until you have revenues to hire talent, you can also bring on free talent from companies like https://skilledup.life. This is my latest tech startup.

I have also been building subscription based tech products since 2004 with many failures and two Exits. I bootstrapped them all and continue to do so. The biggest issue I have during all these years is lack of capital to build teams.

I'm solving my own problem through SkilledUp Life. My team now includes 2 salaried staff and about 20+ Volunteers.

We are one solution. But there are many ways to de-risk a bootstrapped SaaS business.

All the best

No, it doesn't have to be bad faith. It's common (nowadays) to have such opposite beliefs that one or both opponents believe the other person is acting in bad faith or has amoral motivations. I recently had such a debate on HN and as we were talking people would pitch in saying the guy was a liar or trolling. He just truly didn't believe climate science for whatever reason. I also think he was a bit of an asshole personality wise, but I've never met him in real life so who knows.
You know what contacts don’t solve? Shoving your finger into your eye, cleanliness and fatigue.

I stuck with glasses precisely because I didn’t want to deal with keeping contacts clean, shoving things in my eyes everyday, and retaining the ability to just pop them off and ignore the world.
Even when libertarian arguments are put forth in good faith it frequently falls victim to spherical cows reasoning.

And too frequently libertarian arguments appeal to first principles reasoning in order to take an ahistorical view towards specific issues, especially if the person making the argument currently benefits from the historical context.
Personally, I feel it is wacky to trademark colors unless it accompanies an extreme narrow use. For eg: Coca-cola Red would be a valid trademark when it is used as a drink color whereas if I use that color to paint my truck, that is a fair-use and the trademark owner has no infringement claims over me.

In the event, the drink company wants to diversify into making automobiles at a future date and wants to trademark a Coca-cola Red paint (for automobiles), it should be a separate trademark and the grant of the trademark should be subject to prior-art and other grant rules that already exist in trademark law.

In the same breadth, companies should be allowed to trademark combinations of colors (ie., swatches) in narrowly defined use areas.

That would balance the needs of IP creators/owners with other innovators without stifling non-infringing usage based on the definition above.

The T-mobile magenta infringement case in the article is bonkers and a case of TM law gone wrong.
I would also suggest the same as others in this group and say get a job. That'll hopefully help clear up some mental space away from having basic needs satisfied and let you streamline your product without having to worry about immediate results (and trust me when I say, at "most" companies, having a stable job and holding onto a side hustle is not impossible)

Only thing I'd say is avoid falling into sunk-cost fallacy, and remember that it's not always the best "technical" product that wins but also a lot of stuff outside of your control (timing the market eg. Google Wave, tech simply not growing fast enough eg. MagicLeap, the worse product having better VC/marketing etc.) so love your products, but unless you have a guarenteed soft-landing, don't bet your life on them.

Also website/product feedback:

- Hire a copywriter to fix language on your website. "Edit free by drag & drop", "the effective-proven study methods", "Organie Knowledge" etc. makes it look quite amateur. You may also want to work on SEO a bit more to get more organic traffic and maybe add some content around the techniques the app uses for memorization.

- Add a future pricing page. Everything free "for now" makes me think that if I get this and start using, one fine day you'll charge an amount that's too high for me and I'll lose my notes because I don't want to pay in the future ($1per month vs $20 a month is all possible). Let people know how much you expect this to cost them. Not written in stone of course, but it helps a lot.

> Something that should be a bit of a warning flag is that I have two decades of identity-related experience but I still have no idea what DID even is.

I'm not sure this is the "flex" you wanted it to be. A cursory look at the specification gave me a pretty good idea what DID are supposed to be, and for (and I would only say I know enough identity-related stuff in order to implement things in my own services, but not over two decades). The use cases are relatively easy to understand, and there is bunch of implementations in the wild as well.

Maybe it would also help by looking at some of the proposed DID methods that are more similar to the approach you're used to. While not centralized, maybe DNS is something you're more familiar with, so you can link it together with existing knowledge?

In that case, the specification for the `did:dns` method, using DID together with DNS might be helpful for you: https://danubetech.github.io/did-method-dns/

What exactly is it you don't understand? Maybe your knowledge about centralized identity management is not helping you in this case, but making it harder to understand.
Came here to say this, yeah.

UDB supports a lot of the fancy new features from ports, like the Eternity Engine portals, or the 3d floors GZDoom gives you.

Even if someone wanted to map for good old vanilla limits, the newer nodebuilders can both minimize things like slime trails and add effects like infinite horizons (this one is fun, it rotates the wall rendering by 180 degrees and since it's a single-sided wall, it just keeps rendering the same floor and ceiling texture forever).
But the average casual user just wants to modify the commit. There could easily be a higher level command for this, which internally finds the parent and performs the rebase, but instead Git (and even most GUI tools on top) forces you to go the manual route of selecting the parent and initiating a rebase. It's counterintuitive

Really, you _want_ to go back to that? They don't have to regain your trust in any way?

I don't think the "innocent" days were all that innocent, many were just naïve.
Indeed. Un-elected regulatory agencies arrogating astronomic levels of power is far bigger danger than CO2 in the atmosphere.
That seems strange to me. It doesn't seem very unusual to me to use the "pro" laptop for actual work, and running a process that takes 20 minutes does not seem like a made-up use case at all. I don't know enough about fans to understand why they can't force more air through the laptop. My MBP gets too hot to touch when I rebuild a particular Docker image while the amount of air wafting out is not particularly impressive… but at least the machine looks good ;)
I'd think so too.

I had hoped my comment would come across a little gentler than that.

People can believe what they want, but I when I read a comment that expresses alarm over matters that, from my point of view, are utter nonissues, it makes me hope the author - for their own peace of mind - leaves a little room for doubt.
Possibly, but it depends on who we are talking about here. Care to elaborate?
A far right wing court isn't a very good court, yet here we are.
The Symbolics 3600, the B5000, and the Smalltalk microcode for the Dorado all had generic operation dispatching in hardware, though they varied in how flexible it was. The iAPX432 and the Rational R1000, as far as I can tell, didn't. Generic late-bound operation dispatching is the essential core of OO.

For many years AMD64 CPUs have had hardware acceleration for this sort of thing in the form of a "branch target buffer", so in this very important sense they're more OO than the iAPX432, though they don't have the hardware bounds-checking and dynamic type checking that all of the other architectures we're discussing did.

Of these, only the Smalltalk microcode for the Dorado came close to the level of hardware support for OO that something like SiliconSqueak has.

You're just repeating buzzwords rather than taking the time to understand what they refer to.
You cannot reason with those people, they are brainwashed and paid to be so, hence they don't think behind one hop.
It seems like it’s about statistics, more than anything. Some people can be sedentary and smoke their whole lives and eat lard non stop and still live to be 80. Doesn’t mean any of that helped them in any way.

It’s like that for them, too; regardless of their sanitary practices, some people will live to be old. On its own I don’t think it says much about their effectiveness.

Long-lived people have always existed. The difference is in the % of people that make it that far.
I know that rebasing creates a new commit (and all commits thereafter). As I said, from a technical standpoint I get it. But I don't see why there can't be a simple command or button that lets to modify a single commit, and performs the rebase behind the scenes. I commonly need it in my private repos and branches. But right now the rebase operation we're stuck with is very low-level and unintuitive.
Raspberry Pi announces the Pico W, a $6 microcontroller equipped with Wi-Fi
Oh, man. So almost a decade ago I'm in Kampala, Uganda, staying in Muyenga, a neighborhood on the hillside above Lake Victoria. I've bought an adungu, a local instrument that's a sort of harp shaped like a sailboat. I bring it back to the apartment building I'm staying in and I start trying to figure out how to tune it and play it. Turns out it's generally tuned to chromatic C, so you can play anything that's in C or Am or G maybe, if it's simple.

The security guard for the apartments wanders over to where I'm sitting outside. I'm kind of playing whatever easy stuff I can figure out in C, like "No Woman No Cry" or whatever. He's sort of smiling and nodding the way people do when you're playing an instrument.

Then he says, out of the blue, "Do you know... Kenny Rogers?"

I'll be real honest with you, this is not a thing I'm expecting from a Ugandan dude.

"Yeah," I said, "sure."

"Do you know... 'The Gambler'?"

I allowed as how I was familiar with the composition in question. I Googled the lyrics and started playing it.

I have had a lot of weird moments in my life, but sitting on an apartment stoop in Uganda, watching a big electrical storm riding in over Lake Victoria, with this antelope hide ass harp thing, singing "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em" while this little Ugandan security guard dude in a uniform delightedly sang along, clapping to the beat, may be the weirdest and most awesome one. <3
The problem is that regulatory bodies are part of the executive branch. Regulations they create are law in all but name. The executive branch does not have authority to create law. This is an abdication of authority, not delegation.

The US Code is ~60k pages. The Federal Register is ~220k pages. Both carry the full force of law with criminal and financial penalties.
I'm willing to go out on a limb and suggest that the workings of the human brain are still far more complex than that of our digestive system. If the amount of effort that has been put into trying to emulate the former with software had been put instead into trying to emulate the latter, I reckon we'd pretty much have it cracked by now (as in, you could feed some tool info corresponding to all the inputs into our digestive system and it would be able to spit out exactly what outputs would be produced in the average human). But unlike AI/ML, not enough people, ahem, give a shit...
Kinetic energy of the particles (which has to ultimately come out of the battery) is proportional to mv^2. Momentum of the particles (which is ultimately equal and opposite to thrust) is proportional to mv.
This is going to get super ugly over there. Sheryl Sandberg leaving was a part of this, the entire “oh, we have this pending investigation into you…no big deal” is the corporate equivalent of the claws coming out just a little bit to tell you that if you don’t quit, the claws will come out all the way. She was expensive and probably not fully engaged and bought in with this random direction change into Metaverse, a business which won’t exist for another five years, realistically.

This is classic managed decline. They have real problems.

I went through something similar at a past employer. Best people left almost instantly. Followed by a steady drain. Then eventually the garbage got thrown out the back forcefully (people who couldn’t get out, we’re lucky to escape the purge or didn’t get the memo that they needed to leave months ago).

The reality is that Meta probably doesn’t need the best people to run what they have, it’s mostly figured out. The entire metaverse business is a giant open ended R&D spend to fool gullible pension funds and investors into not selling their stock. Building a TikTok clone by copying features won’t be that hard and doesn’t need 10,000 engineers.

They really are going to be forced to acquire companies to gain any real traction in metaverse. Very unlikely they come up with what they need in house.

Unload the ship, sabe capital, try to buy up tons of companies at the bottom at good prices to recap the talent, have some high skill team build the TikTok thing, keep a skeleton crew running the FB app.

Will just be horrible. The tone of what he just said is going to green light everyone eating eachother alive.

I wouldn’t want to be a ceo because you have to do things like this. No. Thanks.
It's what works in Youtube. They don't like it, but they need to do it to be viable.

In some cases they change to a less clickbaity title after the initial surge of viewers has passed.
That's an interesting argument. My counter for globalization is that it leads to developed countries taking the lead in policy decisions for other countries around the world. One example is the US controlled substances act being copied nearly identically around the world. It's possible that if the US hadn't passed that law, most countries would have had legal pot throughout the 20th century.

I'm afraid that the supreme court stifling the ability of the US to legislate against carbon emissions is going to slow down the entire world who has been looking to the US as an example on what to do.

Maximum ages haven't really increased much, yes; but life expectancy at eg age 10 has increased a lot, too, throughout history to modern times.
If I remember well the backslash about Google Glass was the camera. People didn't want Glasses inside their shops or generally around them. A camera inside a phone that one has to explicitly point and shoot was and is OK. A kind of hidden camera was not.

Contact lenses solve a number of problems especially against headsets. They create others with the interference with vision correction devices but at least one could wear prescription glasses or sunglasses. BTW, I wore contact lenses for about 20 years, then suddenly couldn't wear them anymore and went back to glasses.
>you trust all governments and corporations to always penalize, imprison, and murder the correct people

No, which is why we have due process. The additional data helps make a more fair decision.

>we should give them as much data as possible to make them efficient in doing so.

Governments should be as efficient as possible. If laws were actually enforced unpopular laws would be changed instead of ignored or broken.
The most recent release had to be rolled back after four zero-day remote privilege escalations were found and given CVEs. The network code may be fine, but everything exposed to the network is not, and manpower is dwindling to address problems.
I personally take a hesitant approach to crypto/blockchain technology. I'm open to using it where it's legitimately better than other approaches, but for the vast, vast majority of applications traditional methods are always going to be better than shoe-horned decentralization.

It's very unfortunate that the grifters have given the technology such a bad name when, like any technology, it has applications it excels in and others it doesn't. We're still definitely in the phase of working out what, if anything, blockchain is better (than centralised implementations) for. And it sucks that that search is being negatively impacted by all the grifters.

In the future I wouldn't be surprised if we saw 99.99% of blockchain stuff dead, but the small percentage that survive could disrupt some industries (I'm not convinced finance is one of those industries though lol).
The technology will get there, but it hasn’t yet. In the meantime, if the technology fails, someone needs to be available and able to intervene immediately.
Apple admitted the service manual was theirs:

https://gizmodo.com/thermal-greasy-apple-sics-lawyers-on-som...

"After a Something Awful denizen took apart his MacBook Pro and discovered that Apple had slathered on far too much thermal grease, he found that using a more modest amount dropped his MacBook Pro's temperatures by several degrees. Now the forum has recieved a threatening letter from Apple's legal staff, requesting a link to this image [pictured above] be removed because 'The Service Source manual for the MacBook Pro is Apple's intellectual property and is protected by U.S. copyright law.'"

Like many others [1,2,3,4,5], I saw a lot of these MacBook Pro overheating issues resolved by removing the profusion of thermal paste and replacing it with a sane amount of Arctic Silver.

[1] https://www.teamfortress.tv/8399/macbook-pros-and-overheatin... "But what really fixed everything, was replacing the factory thermal paste with my own application of Arctic mx-4. My core temps are now 15-20 degrees celsius cooler. No joke [TL;DR]Apple did a really bad job of applying the thermal paste on my 2011 Macbook Pro. So bad that the excess of paste around the diodes were causing overheating. I cleaned up their shitty job and put on Arctic Mx-4 and now my fps is higher than it ever was. Here are pictures of what I found. This is embarrassing because it makes Apple look pretty bad."

[2] https://old.reddit.com/r/apple/comments/2xfzzi/if_you_havent... "I own a Late 2008 Macbook unibody, and lately the temps of the macbook were insane, until today. I was reading up on how Apple applies way to much thermal paste from the factory and boy were they right. I got around to opening the case and pulled the logic board earlier today. Looked at the thermal paste and it just seemed like they put it there. No real care for it working or not. Here: http://imgur.com/9z0cZwU Anyways, I cleaned up the thermal paste, and reapplied Arctic Silver 5. It made a huge difference! Temp at Idle before were roughly 55-60 degrees celsius. Temp at Idle after are at 40 degrees celsius."

[5] https://free-info-pages.com/my2011macbookpro/replacing-therm... "Why reapply thermal paste? Too much paste reduces the rate at which the CPU transfers heat to the heatsink. Subsequently, temperatures (both idle and load) increase. You can see the gobs that were used on my 15″ MacBook Pro here, on both the i7 2.2 Ghz CPU and the AMD 6750m GPU, as well as the heatsink"

The article isn't very good but it does raise an interesting question.

What happens when your prospective customers say they would buy your solution if it was available, so you build it, but it turns out there is a big gap between saying they want it and actually buying it.

I see this happen a lot. This is why its probably better to ask for a deposit when somebody says they want your unbuilt product. You will get a much more honest answer.

I also took some sales coaching, it helped me a lot.
