If there is "an above" then the aforementioned named wouldn't apply as they are explicitly about organizing people within a flat organizational structure. While it is true that within such an organization you may end up with people who feel they need to put their nose down and ignore software engineering principles, the Agile Manifesto is quite clear that you need the right kind of people to make it work and thus if you end up in that situation you aren't operating in line with the thoughts provided...

...which, indeed, is a likely outcome as implementation is really hard, especially in a constrained developer market where you can't just select the best of the best as you please and are often left to hire the warm bodies you can find. However, it remains that the thoughts provided encourage you to stay away from this, even if doing so in reality isn't quite so simple.
Have you considered publishing about it?
Eh, not really. There have been plenty of perfectly functional apps working in China for a long time. Makes sense that people are worried about feeding video streams, geolocation data, facial recognition data, social network data, etc. to our adversary who uses the very same data sources to manipulate and control its own population.
Oxygen is definitely still monetized. Think about the canisters or the tanks that people use to go into high altitude environments. Hell, even in Denver or Aspen or Telluride you can go to an 'oxygen bar' for absurd prices. Hospitals will put you on oxygen and then bill you thousands for the service.

Beyond that, I have no doubt that there are some people who would willingly charge everyone for oxygen, if there was only a way. This would be driven by the idea that even though there is plenty in the atmosphere, a person only needs to be deprived of it for a little while before the situation becomes dire.
Great piece but it seems that Ben doesn't quite finish joining the dots.

If Intel is to have a successful foundry business at the cutting edge then its customers will be those firms that are designing cutting edge CPUs, SoCs and GPUs.

That means Apple & Qualcomm (possibly OK) but also Nvidia, AMD and other Arm based competitors with Intel's CPUs and GPUs.

Can't see how this will work with Intel in its current form.

I don't think the human condition has substantially changed since the end of the Bretton Woods system. Or are you referring to a period of time further back?
You mean, beyond maintaining the discipline and health of a military branch?
Oh no worries I didn't even mean to criticize you, I was mostly responding to emptyfile's post. I agree with you sometimes there is nuance lacking but at the same time there's often more context and nuance than what you hear from a politican's soundbite. Hearing experiences directly from someone's mouth is a lot more impactful than reading it in a news report or political ad, even if the video is short.

- ENS - yes

- art - no

- collectibles - no

- loans - as in "loan your NFTs"? Technically yes, but since NFTs are worthless bullshit it is kinda pointless.

- stablecoins positions - please elaborate, never heard this idea before

- use accounts - no

- other on chain assets - yes

- other off chain assets - no

tl;dr - NFTs themselves lack any ability to provide proof of ownership, transfer IP rights, or hold custody simply because it is technically impossible. Any cadaver constructs which allows this are inevitably an additional centralised systems which do all the actual work and actually store digital data. NFTs are fifth leg in a horse - pointless and useless. (DNS records alone of course don't justify NFT existence)
Huh, it seems xargs.org is the new name for ulfheim.net ? Presumably the author fancied a change? At first I thought this might be a hijack or a rip-off, but everything checks out.

For what it's worth, I don't recommend name changes. Obviously live your own life, but changing your name is a lasting inconvenience (ask any married western woman who made the mistake of saying "Yeah I'll take his name") and the rewards seem very thin.
It's fine to FU the administrations, but at public US institutions, a lot of the problem is declining state support for education. In 1970, the full cost of in-state students at the University of Texas was being paid by the state, IIRC. Today, it's 20% or less. The University does what it can to raise money, but... effectively, poor legislative support is going to put pressure on students (and their families) to pay more for education.

I tend to think this needs to be worked out at a national level. If we really want a well-educated populace, we need to find a sustainable way of funding it.
Thanks I meed to bookmark that site. It is sad the hops you need to go through to browse the web.
I was actually going for the opposite - but that's my fault. What I meant was wishy-washy "guidelines" are often ignored or considered optional. Put in place tooling (rulesets) and processes that make it very difficult to architect a poor system.

I wonder the same (I've been using 2-panel FMs since late 80s). My guess is that younger devs got more familiar with the command line and some are not even aware they could do file operations even faster and in a more efficient way. Non-devs just rarely use files anymore, everything is being done in a browser or on their mobile devices.
I don't think it's moving the goalposts to look at the direct leadership of the political parties and their actions. Hillary and Trump aren't just random individuals.

> But Hillary's election denial is better than Trump's!

But Hillary isn't engaging in election denial, or really any denial. It's a verified fact that Russia leaked hacked material in order to hurt Hillary's campaign and portions of the Trump campaign colluded with that Russian effort.

You can call it bad behavior to bring up old complaints (due to effects on partisanship, etc), but Hillary isn't engaging in any denial.

IMHO the real people who are in denial about 2016 are the ones who still don't think Russia worked to sink Hillary with hacked material even after the criminal convictions and bipartisan Senate report.
not the case in many countries (the UK being one of them)
Bazel and Nix stand out as the two things that recently a) I've heard about then initially investigated, concluding that they look promising then b) people who I trust who have used them in depth tell me to avoid at all costs.

From other areas where spam is prevalent, I think it's an arms race issue.

Sure, right now, that spam that's identical every time would be easy to detect and block. But if it's blocked, they start adding variation. Block that too and they get more and more creative. Every time a way to block the spam is found, the spammers just get more creative with getting around it. It's an arms race, and is essentially un-beatable because the spammers outnumber those trying to stop them by a magnitude or two.
Dinner at 7 and then breakfast at 7 m, aren’t most people intermittent fasting?
Are we at a place where as potential new hire candidates, we request a formal meeting to be scheduled or a quick text to let us know that the next call is legit? Or is it acceptable to tell hiring managers via checkbox on applications to say that all calls will be screened via voice mail, but will be checked with anticipation of it being a call to be returned promptly?
I've definitely had cases where the manager (and on lots of cases, the CEO) tried to "turn those conversation around" and bullshit me.

The thing they wanted me to do was maximum priority, but there was also some other totally unpredictable thing (often support related) that I also had to take care of. The higher-up was 100% sure it wasn't a real problem and assumed I was exaggerating the situation.

The solution to the problem of lack of trust is of course to convince them, or to leave. If you can't make changes that increase your productivity, you'll become stressed and burned out, and will still not be able to do enough. It is a decision they made.
I think Obamacare/ACA put a cap on costs. It's high but before, it was basically infinity afaik.
I'm also curious about vetted professional communities.

I'm not a part of one, but the only community formed online that I've found to last, was one with a weekly video meeting with a few people from the larger community. This actually outlasted the original community.

It's just so easy for any member to become inactive in the community without regular interaction. Free communities on Discord can plausibly be a great option, with the major caveat that the core interactions are over regular scheduled video calls, instead of mostly messages in large group chats.
You're lucky if the dealership actually has the car. Indeed, you're lucky if it's even been built yet. I was able to get the car I wanted for a not unreasonable price but I did have to wait 6 weeks.
I don't care about it either. Who's actually doing a ton of querying in their views? We have materialized views for that.

I wish Django followed Ruby on Rails a little by focusing on improved developer experience instead of niche features that only a few mega corps need.
We’re developing an at-home metabolomics test that measures hundreds of “metabolites” in blood, which studies have shown can inform about health status, disease risk, dietary patterns, and physical activity.

Just for my own clarification, when you say at-home do you mean that the kit will diagnose the patient at home, or that they will gather samples at home and mail them to you?
> Yes, drop those other things

Reminds me of a previous manager I had. He would come with a 20 to 60 hours task, and quite reasonably say "that's urgent, drop anything else and focus on this for as long as you need".

The only problem is that he did that about twice a day.
My friends all forward people with architecture questions to me, and I mentor/consult people. I learned architecture by working at AWS, and I've gathered a ton of insight by mentoring people over the years.

Beyond being in the boiler room and being a part of a principal engineering community, I basically just do the math and think about it. I also try new things, and I'm building my own architecture at the moment.

The core challenge is that architecture is fundamentally about trade-offs, and it's hard to navigate because we don't share challenges. The essential skill is to solicit a sufficient number of requirements to understand how the trade-offs pull in any direction.

The other thing: there is no perfect, no silver bullet. There can be, however, slam dunks which companies will monetize for specific verticals.
I second this. You aren't just looking for a social outlet, you're looking for grounded advice that will help your product's returns in the short and long term. A consultant is exactly the sort of thing you should be looking for.
I feel like the legacy POTS system does more harm to society than good. Step back and imagine the web without SSL. Think of the sheer scale of fraud and abuse that would run rampant. That's the service phone carriers are operating right now.
Scale some algorithms by increasing key size and/or increasing number of rounds.

You have to consider making it cost prohibitive in that target future for a near state actor to break it using classical computing, QC (maybe - it's still an unsolved manufacturing problem), FPGAs, and ASICs.

10M rounds of AES512 perhaps or perhaps not enough.
Clearly the latter, from the text above:

How it works: We send you a blood collection device ... and it gets express-shipped directly to the metabolomics lab.
sort of related, I wish there were a way to filter suggestions & subscriptions. I only care about videos longer than 4 minutes. Anything shorter is almost always not worth my time. Plus I subscribe to news networks in a foreign language to practice listening and my subscription feed everyday has about 60-100 videos that are a minute or less, or a short. But all I want are the 3+ hour news spots they do.
They aren't 'just' a streaming platform, they are doing a whole load of things that change tech for the better. They've already established what's probably now the standard in video quality measurement with VMAF. They've also set some strong patterns with their work on resilience engineering and their Open Connect platform is changing how many in the industry think about content delivery.

They might not be quite at the scale of Facebook, but they are certainly having an impact on the tech world. They may also be showing that you can have a successful business and not strangely diversify your portfolio just to satisfy the market.

I didn't flag you, but I did downvote you for tone and being overly dramatic about the "risk" Parsnip is taking by not banging down the door of YC. YC is great for startups that it's great for, which is not _all_ startups. Additionally you made it sound like YC is going to hold some grudge because Parsnip decided not to participate (apply? accept? either way), which seems very weird.
I feel like Emberjs is the PHP of JavaScript frameworks. People looove to BS about it with no apparent reason.

I mean, everyone knows tech is moving fast. Especially the JS ecosystem. So now why are you talking sh*t based on your experience like 3 or 5 years ago? At least just go around and read more before you comment.
Back in the day, it cost $0.05-0.10 a copy at the student library, sometimes even free, if you knew the guy/gal working that day. I suppose with the internet being in the palm of your hand, there’s less reasons to be in the library, but back in the day, you’d be in the library 2-3 times a week.

I'll cite Conquest's 3rd law: The behavior of any bureaucratic organization can best be understood by assuming that it is controlled by a secret cabal of its enemies.

That's not exactly explanatory, though. Any time a position is powerful or enriching well beyond the extent to which it serves others, the people optimizing to seek out and attain those positions are those who want the power and wealth, rather than those who care about the organization's mission. For those people, the original mission is, at best, a distraction, and at worst actively antithetical to their personal goals.
It seems that those who claim to be the busiest tend to get the least amount of work done. The promises were left unfilled, the work would sit for months and even years, and yet they still somehow kept themselves busy.

The metaphor I think more people should consider is "working like a lion than a cow". Short, creative, and powerful bursts like a lion hunting rather than a cow constantly chewing grass.

There's a competitive advantage in not being busy. Most of what we think we have to do, we don't have to do at all. It's a choice and often it's a poor one.
You can do it. It's normal to feel overwhelmed. I was in that position once but I really had no choice, I had to press forward or starve, so I eventually made it through.
With no evidence to back me up other than the daily volume of scam calls, I feel nevertheless confident concluding my cable company sells my "land line tel number" that "saves me money" on my cable bill to list brokers who service off-shore boiler room ops. One more reason to love the cable monopolists and their K Street influence peddlers.
Generally, I would agree with you...let the market decide the price. But, car dealers have successfully "cornered the market" with state franchise laws. It is not a competitive market so it won't operate normally.

So much is "wrong" with the dealership model relative to a competitive market I don't even know where to start. But, I do believe over time the franchise laws and dealer cartels will change dramatically. We're seeing that start to happen now with Tesla's model and Ford is creating a new model that looks a lot like Tesla's. Some states, looking at you TX, will continue to protect the local dealers cause the dealer associations donate a lot of money to state politicians but the tide will eventually turn...at least I think it will.
^. What they wrote is kind if misleading. You still have to send it over.

Second day is usually where it falls apart for me. Part of the issue is the rest of my family is not exactly helping ( 'hard to abstain from sweets when you are knee-deep in 'em' type situation ).

I will be trying again soon, but this time around I think I will need to properly plan it ( initial attempts were basically spur of the moment things ).
Don't browsers and video players use it?
I'm not seeing the connection between the Google/Apple duopoly and the rise of TikTok or other addictive social media. I spend half or more of my waking hours on one Apple device or another, and if I had only things Apple has pushed at me to go by, I'd not even know TikTok exists. What's the sequence of events you expect from removing Google and Apple's platform power, that'll lead to reduced social media activity on their platforms and/or in general? Apple, for their part, seem to have spent a fair amount of effort developing features that exist only to curb addiction-like smartphone use—I'm not sure why they'd have done that if they were that focused on getting you to use your phone as much as possible.

Now, if we were talking about whale-chasing F2P games, I'd see your point, but I don't see the connection with social media.
By at-home we mean that the person will gather samples at home and mail them to us.
What if they accidentally block an important text and get sued? It's not easy to do at scale.
Yep. Wholesale prices for desirable used cars are now often more than the new MSRP and they sell instantly. Especially for things such as the RAM TRX trucks, RAV4 Hybrids and any EV.
The question then becomes: What do the VCs think that the money will come from?
I'm not sure I'd want it to. On multiple occasions, I've received "returned" calls from people who have received scam calls from my number. I'm sure a lot of money would be wasted on red herrings if those reported numbers end up at the FTC.
Congrats on the launch! We need more folks trying to bring the tricoder to reality. I knew about DNA-methylation but this novel way seems more apt for scale.
Citation needed. I/we ran illumos zones for multitenant untrusted workloads for over a decade -- and at Oxide, we use it as a containment mechanism on top of that provided by the virtual machine. Yes, there have existed vulns (just as in any software), but (in my experience) not at a higher rate than seen in hypervisors or in the CPU itself. (Specifically, the biggest single vuln we had in a decade+ of running zones in a public cloud was -- by far -- Meltdown.)

>My wide-open Verizon cell-phone number is my least preferred method of contact by far, due to the fact that I cannot trust that unknown numbers are high-value incoming calls.

I thought it was a legal requirement for phone network operators to leave phone numbers accessible to all, and hence their inability to effectively fight spam.

Otherwise, what would stop the situation from becoming like email, where email is more likely to be delivered if sent from a big player and less likely from a small player.

That is how I see it. I often drift into hypocrisy: I am 100% anti-war except if my country was directly attacked, but in the financial interests of me and my family, I do own “defense” stocks.

Also in my own self interest: I am for our government massively supporting poor kids with meals at schools, special tutoring, etc. in order for us to have a larger and better educated work force in the future.

Anyway sorry for the rant.

Oh yeah, the feeling of being swamped is really the feeling of being unable to "fail" at some stuff (which is ultimately just another way to look at prioritization; you "fail" at the stuff you don't prioritize, in some sense).

To be good at working in a startup, you have to be okay "failing". Could you be working on That One Feature That Will Finally Fit The Market? Yeah, but you really should eat and work out instead, maybe watch a few episodes of that TV show you like because a healthy/happy you is better than a "swamped" drained you for the company.

Being overly confident in yourself is a hack to reach this state, BTW.
