I'd rather take the time to make the right moves over flash-in-the-pan attempts. As the saying goes, "measure twice, cut once". I'd like to do some preliminary work up front as there will be plenty to learn along the way. I want my attempts to be deliberate and focused although some prefer visible work over methodical, slow, and non-flashy efforts.

Success can look a number of ways. I've heard of a case where two people were in preparation of filing a patent, and they were able to sell for $1B+ USD. Sufficient research and practice is the key to success, and I've got time :)
I imagine the challenge is knowing what parsing rules apply to which domains. Gmail supports the + thing, but that's non-standard. Is that something you tried to handle in a general way?

I guess he was referring to the old titanium macbook pro (during the G4 era) which was amazing. I had one in my motorcycle sidebags and it survived amazing abuse.
> "full" dependent types

From the quotation marks, I surmise that you're wondering what a non-full dependent type system could possibly mean. I added that qualifier because Python, in fact, had one, last I checked, with its `Literal` type (https://peps.python.org/pep-0586/#rejected-or-out-of-scope-i...), which is "a very simplified dependent type system", according to the PEP, but "True dependent types" are out of scope, at least for now.
Eh, the court granted one discovery request out of twenty-two, so it’s not in any case an unalloyed win for Musk. As for the bots issue, remember that Twitter convinced Musk to write language in the contract that moots the materiality scrape in the bringdown clause, so there’s an MAE hurdle that has to be met even if Twitter can be shown to have a significantly more serious bot problem than they represented in their legal filings. The chancery court is going to give Musk a chance to make his case with the data necessary to make it, but it’s a hell of an upward slog for him. (His lawyers will definitely try to muddy the waters, but they’re a bare-knuckle LA litigation firm trying to start a barroom brawl in the genteel corporate citadel of Delaware, so don’t expect that to go over very well with the court.)
One big exception to this is political campaigns and non profits who will sell all the info they possible can on you for 2 cents to as many people as they can.

It seems like since I first tried the game, it's gotten really slow on my machine, which is very odd, considering that it's a desktop ryzen 9 with 16 cores and a beefy graphics card. Weirdly, it still runs fast (and is consequently much more difficult) on my laptop.

Just tried it on my son's machine, which is the same hardware as mine (but running Windows rather than Linux, both of us using Brave for browsing) and it's fast there too. On my machine, even the clock rendering is dramatically slower than real-time; I'm not sure what's going on.
I have a feeling LinkedIn is the new spam abuser. I have no direct proof (it could be me signing up to a shady conference / email list) but the moment I got a new company email address and a co-founder title, the floodgates got opened, I get 4-5 "handcrafted" (automated to look like ones) emails plus the "following up to make sure you got my email" or "bringing it up your mailbox", most have no unsubscribe links and have a "let us know if you don't want to hear from us again". From legal services, graphic design, off shore hiring / staff augmentation, financial services.

I get it that people need to sell to stay in business, so does my company, but it's starting to be a nuisance, especially since it many times passes the spam filters, and each email gets 2-3 "just following up" emails.

I wonder if there's a way to beam the key out into space with RF at a very distant, but RF-reflective, object. The key hits the object and bounces back and cannot be received until it reaches earth again. I'm not sure such a set-up is physically possible but I think it would be a truly timelocked situation.

Periodically flying everyone (or least, whole teams) into the same place for retreats, meet and greet, socialization etc is crucial. You could also combine this with your training and development budget and get people out to conferences etc.
> they are more into enjoying fat paychecks and there's nothing wrong with that

A big issue with build a company is how support the people in the mean time.

So, you have enough saving, investors or low-cost of life. THEN you need the drive and talent to build something.

Is not easy to fulfill all the things!

And is common that when somebody approach me with a great idea for a company, not understand this. So the first advice is to know how value the effort and what you expect everyone to bring in return.

I dream of build a Access/Excel/FoxPro replacement but that is a long-tail for development (maybe 2-3 years?) and assume you have some people with the skills for that.

And having the "that" that pay the bills take time. So is a chicken-egg problem.
> You'd probably get better sound for your money buying a vintage stereo than a modern one with bt shoehorned in.

Eh, I like having it be able to get the digital audio for my home theater setup and handle features like Dolby TrueHD/Atmos and DTS MasterAudio and eARC directly on the receiver instead of having dozens of discrete devices with dozens of analog connections in a cramped case. It's a higher end Onkyo unit, it seems to perform pretty well. I like a lot of the features such as having multiple zones as well.

The other aspect with having it cabled is then my phone is literally physically tethered to my stereo. I can't take it around with me in the house while it's playing music. I can't read things on it or reply to messages or emails without having to stand by the stereo.

Sure, I do sacrifice some slight audio quality using Bluetooth. But to me it's more than made up for by the extreme flexibility of wireless connectivity. And for my pool example, I'm in a noisy outdoor environment driving a couple of all weather speakers pretty hard. I'm not going for extreme high fidelity in that environment.

I've got a Logitech MX Anywhere mouse that can do three profiles of either Bluetooth or Unifying. I have one profile for my work laptop, one profile for my personal laptop, and one profile for my phone, all Bluetooth. I've never had a profile get broken.

I also use a Kensington Expert Wireless mouse and mostly use the Bluetooth connectivity to my work laptop. I've changed the batteries maybe twice in the several years of ownership. It has always just automatically paired when I get in to the office and starts working right away. I've never had to re-do a pairing on it.

On my gaming PC I use Bluetooth gamepads and VR wands. I did have a driver issue after upgrading to Windows 11 which the only resolution I could figure out was a fresh install. After that I haven't run into any other issues with that device.

All my computers use Intel WiFi/Bluetooth chips. They definitely seem to be some of the best quality.

I've had crappy Bluetooth speakers before. They behaved like you've said, where they just seem to forget their pairing or become unreliable over time. I've also had good Bluetooth speakers and headphones that are very good at remembering what they were last paired to and seem to connect almost instantly.

These days even my car key is Bluetooth. I use a Phone as a Key setup, so walking up to my car with my phone authenticates me. Getting in to my car with my phone allows it to be started. All this happens with Bluetooth. I rarely bother taking a key fob with me when I leave.
then you can understand why those of us with better healthcare and money don't want to take a downgrade to a "universal" system that is better for ppl with no money but worse for others. most middle class ppl in America have decent healthcare as a job benefit so most of us don't want to change. this is why "if you like your doctor you can keep them" was an essential talking point for passing obamacare.
It seems like expected confusion. The protocol is well suited for a wide/fast path, so people associate it with something local that uses a lot of PCI lanes, which is much faster/wider/lower-latency than your NIC.
I simply did not understand at the time (2009-2011) just how unprepared Google's leadership was to expand beyond ads.

That's a succinct and on-point observation.

In my experience, the south is caricaturized and somewhat overblown, both the good parts and the bad parts.
But why then would the article mention that they had problems with reliability? That seems ... odd; what have you experienced in your working with these (assuming you have)?
John Carmack Describes His Programming Setup (15 Min Video)
That can possibly work, however it has a significantly greater variability in deployment environments compared to traditional time lock puzzles due to it being trivially optimized by hardware (depending on the hash algorithm chosen). It unfortunately does not work at all as a VDF though, as the proof requires the entire chain of hashes and is not succinct enough to be used on commodity hardware.
Spinning rust can get well above 185MB/s on a single disk if you're sequential.
CIL (.NET bytecode) is also stack-based, and perhaps the most interesting modern incarnation as well, because it is sufficiently full featured - pointers w/arithmetic, unions, stackalloc etc - to be a target for a C compiler.

Apple service is usually very good as well -- I've had several products replaced by overnight fedex with no additional cost. Also time machine backup/restore is a godsend for mission critical workstations when you do need a replacement. But ya, most people aren't doing work where time is worth the slight premium.

In the article, it states that after a certain point, parallelization hits limits. Is that due to Scylladb's architecture or other constraints within the system?

For reads (unless there is another bottleneck), by 10x'ing the parallelism, an application can compensate for 10x the average latency and still deliver the same throughput.

Scylladb talked about their IO scheduler a good deal:

https://www.scylladb.com/2021/04/06/scyllas-new-io-scheduler...

https://www.scylladb.com/2022/08/03/implementing-a-new-io-sc...

Naively, it seems like it should have been able to compensate for the Persistent Disk latency for read heavy workloads.
The US does not have a free market in health care.
In Canada I took a MBP in to the Apple store for a keyboard replacement under warranty, and during the repair they put a significant dent in the inner surface next to the trackpad. I had to point it out and they offered to take it back for another week but I had a flight out that day and had to decline.

Having access to an official Apple store does not guarantee perfect service either. More reasons we need legislated right to repair.
At a huge price, EBS can finally get you near-local-nvme performance. If you use an io2 drive attached to a sufficiently sized r5b instance (and I think a few other instance types), you can achieve 260,000 IOPS and 7,500 MB/s throughput.

But up until the last year or two, you couldn't get anywhere near that with EBS and I'm sure as hardware advances, EBS will once again lag and you'll need to come up with similar solutions to remedy this.

Also, I guess AWS would fight them a little less here: the lack of live migrations at least means that a local failed disk is a failed disk and you can keep using the others.
I dunno, but I've seen a bug like this in prod while consulting.
But there is a product defect class action lawsuit against Apple literally every two years. Apple must treat it as a cost of business at this point.

All of your answers are in the links I provided, I'm more than happy to help, but please make an effort too.

Here is the data that gets collected and stored in the cloud:

https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/blob/3553a28683d...

> It also doesn't store any lists of who you contact; this claim is false.

The entire point of Signal adding pins was to protect the data Signal now stores so that you can recover it. That includes: your contacts, profile, and settings. Signal is required to store your contacts in order for that to happen.

Signal does not even try to deny that they collect and store your contacts. They just don't say so plainly and they often present the fact in misleading ways. Here's one example of them explaining their reasoning for storing your contacts on their servers:

"We're trying to add support for identifiers that aren't phone numbers, since that's what we've heard from users. If we do that, your signal contacts can't live in your address book anymore. Every other app just stores that in plaintext on their servers, which we don't want to do." [source](https://twitter.com/moxie/status/1277737851107471360?s=20)

> You linked to a repository that uses Intel SGX which is used in this instance specifically to address your false claim that the e2e encryption used is easily bruteforced.

It doesn't "address my false claim" it supports it. Again, please read the links. Especially https://community.signalusers.org/t/proper-secure-value-secu... since it addresses both the brute force issue, and why SGX is not able to protect the data. You might find https://community.signalusers.org/t/sgx-cacheout-sgaxe-attac... helpful as well.

and we hear a lot of stories of ppl from other "free healthcare" OECD countries having to come here for decent care. i'd rather a system where i can get better by paying more than a system where i'm at the mercy of some bureaucrat or waiting list.

if you want to reduce costs:

1. stop giving the AMA a monopoly. ban state and local regulations on how much healthcare can be built and where.

2. require posting prices and give it teeth.

3. make it easier to import cheap generics from other countries.

4. enable nurse practitioners to do more stuff.

5. enable more clinics with clear prices for stuff like this one where i can go their site and see it's $6215 for a bilteral knee arthroscopy: https://surgerycenterok.com/?procedure_category=knee#jump because very few of the healthcare $ are spent on emergency procedures where ppl don't have time to choose and information is how you make markets efficient.

There are a lot of other benefits of buying with high interest rates - namely that the U.S. 30-year mortgage allows you to refinance if rates drop. So that 18% headline rate quickly became ~10% or less after refinancing a few years down the road (not to mention paying for houses with depreciating dollars because of the 70s inflation).

You don't get the same optionality if you buy with interest rates at an all time low.

Housing affordability is actually at an all-time low right now, close to 1982 levels, after the interest rate rise.

Heavily is something of a stretch: the NIH is a fairly small part ($40B) of the federal budget ($1,600B discretionary + another $4,000 mandatory spending).

It's about 0.5% of the total budget, which works out to about a dollar a week for the average taxpayer. On top of that R&D spending has a huge multiplier: a lot of that money supports small, high-tech businesses, which in turn hire people...etc

Pretty much every billionaire in existence has, at some point, taken millions of investment dollars from someone else. This is ultimately where the vast majority of their business value comes from. Compare to value generated by individuals (like book authors) which can sometimes generate millions of dollars.

That kind of individual value is more inline with the value that an individual with good judgment might be bringing on their own as an owner of an early startup who is willing to take some risks.

Basically, the risk itself isn't worth anything; paired with good judgment, the risk and the good judgment are both worth something. Really, that worth has to do with how common that good judgment is. But, most billionaires are idiots (at least at being billionaires) and their judgment tends to benefit them and nobody else. So, from a role perspective they bring negative value to a company in addition to stealing everyone's productive efforts.

You can look at how companies perform when a billionaire owner hands it off to a non-billionaire CEO. There's no sudden 20,000x value multiplier that's lost. Their role in that situation is essentially to just be privileged idiots and it's a process that's fully automatic after a certain point.
