Hire a sales guy/team to sell this as a tool to realtors and wholesaling companies.

They spend a ton of money on market analysis products because most of them don't have any sort of background that helps with it.

If it helps them get 1 more client or help a listing sell for just a couple % more it has paid for itself.

You know that repo companies lock the car if you don't pay?

If the car is in motion they speed limit it, and once it turns off it won't go back on (sometimes they'll allow it to go on, but with a very low speed).

I'm not sure the repo model is the one to copy here.......

Basically the phone is not yours until you pay for it, if it's not yours they can lock it. It's not really that controversial. If they kept the lock after that they would be unethical, but they don't. (Phone companies did do that in the past though.)

> We are by the most common definition: two quarters of negative GDP growth.

That’s a common rule of thumb, but not the definition.

> Some folks in the US are weirdly insistent that recessions are defined by the NBER

These people include the US Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics [0] and the US Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Economic Analysis [1], among others. The US has used a tripartite definition where a recession has three required dimensions, “duration, depth, and diffusion”, for a long time; the 2-quarter-decline thing has long been cited as a guideline for the duration component, with separate rules of thumb sometimes cited for the other two. [2]

[0] https://www.bls.gov/spotlight/2012/recession/pdf/recession_b... – stating “the National Bureau of Economic Research (the official arbiter of U.S. recessions)”

[1] https://www.bea.gov/help/glossary/recession – stating “The designation of a recession is the province of a committee of experts at the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), a private non-profit research organization that focuses on understanding the U.S. economy.”

Yep, that's a pillar of the Mac experience.
> I think there's a reasonable argument that the existence of firmware-level rootkits suggests that UEFI Secure Boot is doing its job and is pushing attackers into lower levels of the stack in order to obtain the same outcomes.

To me, this rootkit is evidence of the opposite. Boot-time attacks are still possible despite "Secure Boot" often being used to lock down users.
Created an audience monetization platform called Unknot. Looking for feedbacks
Development has been going on for less than three weeks now, but I think maybe launching a waitlist is a good idea.

I'm more looking forward to seeing some feedback on the idea of Unknot.app or the UI, or other unrelated stuff.

Good and ugly, any feedback is very welcome, thanks guys.

how can someone be good at architect-ing stuff if they never code or code very little.

In uni we learnt about federated databases, i.e multiple autonomous, distributed, possibly heterogeneous databases joined together by some middleware to service user queries. I wonder how that would work for this situation, in the place of one single large database.

Federated databases are never usually mentioned in these kind of discussions involving 'web scale'. Maybe because of latency? I don't know
Oh jeez, ya I know CarMax is bad. We dont really have a clean way of reporting teslas or scalping of resold vehicles by 3rd parties like that right now at markups.org
Not crazy but perhaps leaning towards a kind of technological just-world hypothesis.

Anything bad has to be because the user, usually the person with the least power and information in the system, did something wrong.

The many other humans behind the technology -- the coders, architects, testers, managers, executives, lawyers, 3rd parties -- can never go wrong. They must have studied the entire set of probable situations and devised just and fair solutions to every situation. Therefore, they should not be held accountable though they typically have both more power and more information. They're incapable of making mistakes.

I have the same approach as you.

Newsletter that I didn't subscribe to? One strike, you're out (unsubscribe and occasionally report as spam).

Updates from sites I care about (e.g. bank, HOA, etc) that come more than once a year? Create an email filter (gmail -> filter messages like this), skip inbox, never mark as important, apply label XYZ.

These simple hygiene measures don't take more than a few minutes each week and save tons of time and focus.
With your experience, what do you see working out?
This is so painfully painfully true. I’ve seen in born out personally at three different companies so far. Premature splitting up is bad too, but I think the “just use one Postgres for everything” crowd really underestimate how bad it gets in practice at scale
There is constant pressure from upwards to "increase scope" and hire more people.

Yep, this is why we can't have nice things. Nice things sometimes sound nice initially but they have major design flaws and made by people who don't know much about things. But these people have monopoly of coercion on you so you can't really do anything about it.

You lost me at Java. Web development was popular in Java well before it took off for Python, and it's been one of the most popular programming languages period since it's inception. There's been multiple supported clients for anything I've ever wanted to connect to.
I doubt CarMax is actually placing orders, but I wouldn’t be surprised if CarMax is the first place anyone goes to scalp their own new model 3 and CarMax is happy to add an extra 5k to profit on their sale.
Sorry to ask this in your thread, but are there jobs particularly in the nuclear sector for a general software engineer? I don’t have a related degree though.
We plan to really give it a UI and UX scrub and upgrade as soon as we have some funding. We are operating an MVP right now gathering as many data points as possible and trying to figure out which tasks need implemented first.
Yeah, it’s really quite eye-opening to witness so many people on here having been convinced by obvious propaganda. Climate obsession is the height of human arrogance: to think that we are solely responsible for destroying “the planet”, and solely responsible for rescuing it from certain demise.

Yet more evidence that there are yawning chasms of meaning in our lives today, and the unscrupulous are more than willing to exploit them.

Selling used cars in the current market is one area where information asymmetry probably tends to play out in favor of sellers trading into dealers. Of course, it probably screws the ultimate buyers in a lot of cases. It's not just structural issues. There are a lot of known mechanical issues that a used car manager isn't going to notice in a 5 minute examination for a tradein.
It's the usual way people react to their favorite partition talking points. There's a good amount of research that suggests that people saved their stimulus money. Not everyone spent and not everyone gambled it.

At least for Apple's system, biometrics aren't used server-side. Biometrics are used to authenticate to the local system (e.g. your laptop or phone) and authorize use of a local private ECC key for further authentication to other services. The T2 secure enclave mediates all of this. The private ECC key never leaves the T2 chip. Biometric data is never stored unencrypted outside the T2, although like a password may be susceptible to capture when input. (The fingerprint scanner might be hooked up directly to the T2 chip, though, in which case attackers would need to resort to more direct methods for capturing fingerprints.)
Thanks for the info. I was curious why conspiracy to commit money laundering is 20 years and money laundering is 10.

Still, something about the process seems "unfair" to me.
At this point, it is hard to say how well integrated they are. If the blocking is not straightforward.
Unfortunately I agree but what can we aka a western tech worker do to combat this?
Sadly, I can't converse with you if you're willing to modify your original statements. Guess we should've quoted it.

Originally this was talking about "fake/not-real ownership of the underlying stock", but now it says (quoting for good measure):

> 1. lets people trade "stocks" that aren't stocks the way people think they are. All (convenient) trades (for its HF clients) get internalized and never ever hit any lit market/exchange. The fact that this is possible is a general issue with the US stock market and lack of meaningful regulation and policing.

Now you're saying "internalized trading". Well this is 100% true - of all brokerages. So this no longer makes RH bad vs anyone else... you like Robinhood now?

I have worked with Windows registry for at least 2 decades and it is one of the things I rally hate about design of Windows (and I like the way config files are kept in Linux).
A very big virtual file system (with a parallel access API of its own) inside a very big (at that time, slower) file system (and its own API). I wish Windows limited its config to only pure file-system file. Simple and flat, instead of this mess of over 100 MBs which has been itself a source of many vulnerabilities. The legacy baggage is also terrible.
Honestly from my perspective it feels like microservices arose strongly in popularity precisely when it was becoming less necessary. In particular the mass adoption of SSD storage massively changed the nature of the game, but awareness of that among regular developers seemed not as pervasive as it should have been.

The biometric authorizes the use of a key stored in secure enclave. The biometric is not used as a key.
One thing I realized working on a large company codebase is that if you are the first person to do something you have an additional moral responsibility to do it well.

In large codebases, the default answer to "how do I do X?" should always be to do it the way it has been done before. Consistency is hugely valuable.

As a result, both junior and senior engineers, when faced with a thing they need to, will start by checking to see if that thing has been done elsewhere in the codebase already.

This means that if you are the FIRST person to do something, it's on you to set a really great example - because it will inevitably be copied many times over in the future.
From what I've heard from people in recent batches, this is probably a good thing for those that make it in.

Pretty little personalized attention when there are 400 startups in a batch...
That was true when one had to write assembly code. Now we don't really have to any more, thanx to Arduino mainly (which bilds upon avrgcc and avrdude). It's easier to learn on the new platforms because you can use higher level programming languages like MicroPython, especially for easy stuff. I can do a blinky by writing three lines in the uPy REPL.
It’s not that kind of unlocking. It’s just removing the network locking.
My experience would make me agree with you. Developer experience around tooling in Clojure makes a lot of assumption around prior knowledge of Java ecosystem.

Yes, true. But at that point you have to run on exotic 4p/8p systems since you start running out of memory channels.

I mean mapping of file extension to filetype is fine as an OS feature. On Unix that's /etc/mime.types (or /usr/share/misc/mime.types, depending on the system), on Windows that's the registry. What I despise is are tools that vomit random stuff in to your config, whether that's the registry or ~/.config/.
It's hardly surprising that given breathing room, people who live in miserable poverty will spend on things they couldn't previously afford. "Man cannot live on bread alone" is a pretty old concept. As for the people who already could afford the necessities of life, why not have a bit more fun than normal?

Largely off topic: Discord is clearly doing a lot of things right.
Posted this here because I just can't believe this issue is 3 years old, and there's still no way to adjust scroll speed when using Gnome/Wayland. I looked around and wasn't even able to come up with a suitable workaround for this. I love Gnome, and feel like it does so many things right - it just seems strange that something so simple as adjusting scrolling speed could be overlooked/neglected for so long.
For a long time, it was worse than that - once a change was "accepted", you could amend the commit with changes to literally any other file in the entire monorepo, and land it without any further review.

They finally added a "final review" step to ensure that someone eventually takes a look at these changes after the initial accept, but that still occurs several days after the commit.
I'm aware.. as I said I currently contract.

But "extremely easy" is relative. It's still more hassle than being a salaried employee. If you make a non-trivial amount of money you'll need to pay your income taxes in installments and set it aside yourself (no deductions after all). You need to pay 100% of your CPP contributions. You're likely getting paid in non Canadian currency so need to get set up with a good forex provider or get ripped off by your bank (I use xe, but there's a few out there).

Also your point about not needing to charge sales tax depends on what country your employer is in. In my case it's true I don't need to charge because we have a tax treaty with the USA; for other nations this may not be the case. If no tax treaty is present, you need a GST registration #, charge your employer said GST, hold it yourself and then pay it out just like your income tax.

Also the extended health can't be overstated. If you have dental issues, bad eyesight, are on prescription drugs etc. it can make a real difference.

Generally I'd recommend contracting to people but I just want to be realistic.. it has it's downsides.

I think Notational Velocity (MacOS) still supports syncing with SimpleNote while keeping notes as separate files locally (though I've not used it with Simplenote in several years and could be wrong, switched to a hacked together SyncThing + iCloud approach that mostly works).

Some of these were the core problems that we wanted to address as part of https://flyte.org. We started with a team first and multi-tenant approach at the core. For example, each team can have separate IAM roles, secrets are restricted to teams, tasks and workflows are shareable across teams, without making libraries. and it is possible to trigger workflows across teams.
Each teams workflows are tasks and grouped using a construct called projects. It is even possible to separate execution clusters per team, per workflow onto separate k8s clusters. Also the platform is built to be managed and easily deployed.

I tried adding tests to a legacy AngularJS application (it was in the process of being phased out but was still business critical). I sunk days into trying to get a test to run, let alone pass, before giving up and deciding that eventual replacement was going to be quicker than finding good AngularJS documentation.
Dealers and scalpers provide liquidity. Sellers want the item off their hands now, buyers want something without waiting months for a seller.

Dealers link these two needs together and take a cut for the service. There is no monopoly or requirement to sell a car through a dealer. It’s just that people find the service worth the cost.
It's actually a bad thing. Just like cryto all the YC companies sell to each other. As per their 2022 stats, more than 50% of sales for all YC startups are other YC companies.

So this is just a game of hot potato until they get a fat valuation, raise a zillion dollar series and then list it on the stock market for the retail traders to hold their bags.

Less YC startups= less customers for other YC startups.
> Even in your scenario you could identify schemas and tables that can be separated and moved into a different database or at maturity into a more scalable NoSQL variety.

How? There's nothing tracking or reporting that (unless database management instrumentation has improved a lot recently), SQL queries aren't versioned or typechecked. Usually what happens is you move a table out and it seems fine, and then at the end of the month it turns out the billing job script was joining on that table and now your invoices aren't getting sent out.

> Generally once you get to the point that is being described that means you have a very strong sense on the of queries you are making.

No, just the opposite; you have zillions of queries being run from all over the case and no idea what they all are, because you've taught everyone that everything's in this one big database and they can just query for whatever it is they need.
