I don't think GDPR and the like are the reason Europe has failed to produce anywhere near the amount of successful software companies that the US and China have. It is not hard to locate a datacenter in Europe or provide a button to delete your data or display a cookie popup. In the grand scheme of things very few users use the delete button anyways, so the loss of data is immaterial.

There is a massive brain drain from European schools and companies to the US (has been going for 20+ years now). If you look at the makeup of any top ranked school in the US, their MBA and STEM programs are at least 30-50% European immigrants. MBA programs in particular are overwhelmingly European immigrants. You have to ask yourself - what prompts so many people to get up and leave rather than try to build something at home? Tax policy? Lack of work ethic in the culture at home [1]? Excessive red tape for starting a business? Lack of respect for technical workers vs. managers? All of these are things to consider.

You don't create a winner by working 32 hours a week, that's for sure. Like pg said in his blog [2], you win by moving faster than everyone else.

That is essentially what's driving the popularity of smallsats and megaconstellations. Since launch costs are dropping and flights are becoming more regular (eg SpaceX's transporter flights, where the rocket flies regardless of payload readiness and anyone who wasn't ready just moves to another flight, eliminating the main issue from other rideshare arrangements), it's potentially cheaper to make more replaceable satellites. So far this mainly applies to Earth observation and internet constellations.

This doesn't really carry-over to large projects like JWST yet though.
In a word, yes.

The CTs are not so 'clearly fabricated' to many people; CT adherents are often credulous people who self-select or are funneled into communities where they can find validation and reinforcement. Such communities may be engineered for or sustained by profit, fiscal or political.

In terms of aggression, many CTs are based on Manichean narratives of powerful evildoers suppressing hapless truth-seekers. Qanon in particular attracts people like this, as it posits a wicked conspiracy of elites that preys upon children. Offhand I can think of 4 murders where the alleged perpetrator was immersed in such beliefs. As Voltaire wrote, Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.'

At the more cynical end, some people may not believe CTs but see an opportunity to weaponize them or an excuse to engage in behavior as a member of a group that would be unsanctioned if they acted as an individual. There's some research indicating about 30% of people are motivated by seeing others worse off, even at cost to themselves.

The US almost certainly does, but the Russians might not. They've been shown to have neglected routine maintenance in ways that caused very critical problems for their military (e.g. they lost a lot of expensive advanced vehicles, because their unmaintained knock-off tires disintegrated).

You should still be seeing (significant) headcount over the 2yr mark, and the places I've worked at, you don't. (Of the portion of the headcount that existed at that time minus 2yrs, ofc., i.e., yes, ignore hiring.)

> Attrition can be 0, but headcount doubles year over year and you have half your employees with <1 year of tenure.

I really should have stated it more clearly. It's a contrived example. I suppose a better way would be "of the people who started ahead of me, how many remain?" or so; the hard part is that the company has all the data, and often doesn't release it.

4%, though, corresponds to an average tenure that's preposterous when nobody stays for much over 2yr, and particularly much over 3yr.

At one employer I worked at, I know that when I hit the 3yr mark, there were 5 people that remained who were there when I started. I would estimate there were ~60 people at start. That attrition, over 3yr, corresponds to a rate of ~56% YoY.

And that employer is not at all unique or distinguished in that regard. People leave — why would they stay?

>>this is not "rule of law".

Where does the law require a private (i.e., non-governmental) internet provider to provide service to any customer who shows up, even if carrying that 'customer' would harm their own reputation?

Do you think that ISPs are somehow subject to discrimination laws that require public-facing businesses to not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, etc., and that 8kun is a person in some such protected class?

Do you know for a fact that the provider had no terms of service that 8kun violated?

Why do you think you are a better judge of the truth from your seat an the comment forum than those people who actually are in the situation?

And, BTW, we might note that 8kun has not been reported to have taken or even threatened any legal action, so maybe, just maybe, this isn't quite the legal question you think it is.

Read about Copaiba oil. It's a Brazilian oil from a tree. This thing is amazing. I used to always have earache after a couple of days diving in the ocean until I used one little drop of Copaiba oil in my ears. No more earache. Never again! It has multiple uses. Take a look at it.
That vid is a very bad example for the vid itself is not running at 50/60 Hz. And that was the whole thing back then: most great game on the Amiga (and the Atari ST) were running at "full frame rate". Arcade games too (except some still amazing ones like Outrun which was 30 fps IIRC).

A parallax a 50 Hz was silky smooth. A video of a game running at 50 Hz that is recorded at 30 fps doesn't do the original game justice.

The link to Shadow of The Beast (Amiga 1989) is much better in that you can configure YouTube to play the vid at 50 Hz.

I've heard it broken down into those two before. It's an interesting take, but one that I don't think aptly describes the "two stories". My own take on "there are two types of stories" is:

1. Something must change

2. Change needs to be prevented

Just about every story boils down to one of those concepts, and how the characters respond to the needed/pending change.
Salesforce, Atlassian, GitHub and to a lesser extent Google, Microsoft and Amazon are only not allowed for private data, no? So there's nothing wrong with storing code on GitHub for instance. Although IPs are private data, do access logs count? If i recall correctly they don't, but I'm really not a lawyer.

Edit: Actually Atlassian are an Australian company, is there an equivalent CLOUD act that makes data transfers impossible?

Wireless internet always has tradeoffs, and satellite internet is inherently less reliable than wired internet. Calling 25/3 "broadband" was laughable even in 2015, and since the pandemic created more remote positions (or at least more opportunity to work from home part-time) it's more important than ever to make sure everyone has access to real broadband.

Starlink also costs $110/month (plus a $600 setup fee), which is... decidedly more than the $10/month a low-income household would pay for the Comcast essentials plan. If you're in an area with lots of Starlink users you may see speeds under 10mbps, which is on the border of usable in 2022 even for 1-2 devices.

It's a great axiom until it isn't. One thing I still cannot visualize is exapanding universe. If there is an expanstion then there must be a shape and then there must be a center and then must be one direction that is not exactly same as another because expansion rates are different. I read that universe expands same everywhere and there is no "center" which is very hard to visualize but it is a requirement for this axiom to be true. If you think in these terms, this axiom seems very problematic.

But can't you still do it? It just takes a long time to set up.

That is: I synchronize two clocks at a particular point. I then move one clock to the other end of the apparatus (which could be multiple kilometers away). Now, there are three "time dilations" that I have to worry about:

1. Gravitational red shift. I can avoid this by having both ends of the experiment, and the path the clock takes to move from one to the other, all be at the same gravitational potential.

2. Special relativity time dilation. I can minimize (not totally avoid) this one by moving the clock slowly with respect to the stationary one.

3. General relativity time dilation. I can minimize (again, not totally avoid) this one by accelerating the moving clock slowly.

By taking enough time to set up the experiment, can't I minimize all three of those far enough that I can tell that the speed of light is the same in both directions (to some error margin, still, but better than "I can't tell if it's instantaneous in one direction")?

You seem to have misread my posts as saying that healthcare providers should immediately move to medication rather than try dietary intervention. I didn't say that, I didn't imply that, I didn't even think it.

What I did say is that we are increasingly learning that overeating is a very complex and life-threatening medical concern that often cannot be solved through dietary intervention. Even people who may die if they don't adhere to a diet frequently have difficulty adhering to one. Saying that there are "existence proofs" that diets sometimes they work is a terrible response.

My view is that we should treat diet as one possible medical treatment, and evaluate it apples-to-apples (in terms of efficacy and side effects) against more recent FDA-approved treatments. And now that we've seen how much impact those treatments can have -- and particularly how critical the GLP-1 mechanism is to the sustainability of weight-loss interventions -- we should work our asses off to find more and better treatments that treat overeating as a health condition rather than a question of mind-over-matter.

You seem extremely attached to your position, to the point where defending your position required you to declare that my relatives "were eating a bunch of other stuff when you weren't looking."
There is a worthwhile premise behind the title of this article. Success stories are generally fluff designed to rewrite history and control a desired narrative.

Most the real reasons for success are taboo, boring and too technical to talk about, e.g. "we got massive SEO traffic through user-generated content and 10x'd traffic in 2 months"..
For people reading this: tiernano has been super helpful on github & discord. Early triaging shows payload chose quic over TCP despite firewall disabled. Quic is a fallback and not yet CPU optimized, and struggles on windows (looks like a single threaded bottleneck - one core was at 100%). It appears payload jumps to the fallback too quickly, without giving TCP a fair chance first.

i could see your argument from 10 to 100, but 1 to 3 is a practical productivity multiplier. There's also risk of the 1 engineer going to another company that thinks the same way but for $650,000 and now you're left with 0 engineers and no development.

Survivorship bias seems to play a huge role in VC too. A handful of individuals and firms got mega-rich with Facebook and then later with Uber, and now they are held up as these huge geniuses. However, this is more luck than skill, because all oof their later investments have done much worse, so excluding Facebook and Uber, they are not so skilled. Now these same geniuses are hyping crypto , which has been a total disaster for half of 2021 and all 2022. Same for Softbank, which had a big winner with Ali Baba, but pretty much failed massively with later bets. Successes have many mothers, failure is an orphan, as it's said.

IME structure starts mattering somewhere above the 6,000 word mark (about 12 printed pages, 24 typewritten).

For longer works --- fiction or otherwise --- structure matters far more, and works written without consideration to this tend to show this as much lower in quality.

That said, many writers (both before and after invention of typewriters) would dictate their works to an assistant who would either write longhand or type the text. If you read a lot of 19th and early 20th century material, this is sometimes evident in the style, which tends toward conversational. I'm presuming these would typically at least begin with notes.

John McPhee is an example of a writer whose works are heavily structured, and who relies on index cards for drafting his stories, as well as extensive editing and rewriting. (See also Niklaus Luhmann and Nabokov.)
