> Even the USA is rooted in non-homogeneous immigration.

USA used to be mostly Northern European and christian (protestant), black slaves who were moved there by force or pre European colonization inhabitants were never considered part of the foundations of US. US foundations were anything but non-homogeneous.

Now after WWII, US attempted to replace the racial and religious identity at the heart of "americanship" with some idealistic identity based on american exceptionalism, the american dream and the cult of the american imagery (flag, eagle, colors...). No need to point out that this re-invention of "americanship" is slowly crumbling as we speak. Who knows what will remain of that cohesion in the next 50 years.
This is precisely the first place I realized I needed proper clipping. Wasted many hours trying to hack my way out of doing it the right way.
There is no proof of corruption. What do you know? Bring it to the press.
I agree. This situation seems to be present on other stack exchange sites too.
It's just fanfic, with the totally original character F-35chan, aka Mary Sue Lockheed, constantly saving the world.
Would you go into more detail so we can better account for what you're fearing?
Googler, opinions are my own.

I know nothing about this case, but I have a few thoughts about this story.

1) The "full story" is actually rather sparse on exact details. The author quoted just a few words of "Your Projects are at risk of suspension", but doesn't provide more details about what was actually in the email. Did something else potentially cause this shutoff, not just billing? (I agree, based on his wording that this likely was a billing issue, but it would be good to know the full story).

2) The OP has not replied to any comments on here.

3) If the OP is reading this, they should go through their front-line support people at GCP saying this story is about you, so they can help you look into it. (it'll likely get the PR people to know who you are). If there was really a screw up where you paid and were still shut off for billing non-payment, I bet that would lead to a larger postmortem internally.

Sun ovens are for lower temperatures. Propane roasters are used because you want to singe the outside of the pepper fast enough to not overcook the inside. This solar roaster hits 900F and it's still quite a bit slower than the propane. But it's good enough for good flavor apparently.
Which, in what is surely a coincidence, is good for Russia.

Before anyone says it, yes we know about LetsEncrypt, and no we cannot use it
Yes, this is trivial and you can do it in about 5 minutes after unboxing your first RTLSDR dongle. Just install rtl_433 and read the commandline help.

Next step is to make a database that recognizes sensors that come past at the same time each day, or correlates groups of four sensors that seem to travel together which probably means they represent the four wheels of the same car, and that's where my software-fu falls flat.
> holders did not invest any attention to how the academy works during their BSc years" - why should I prefer them?

More inferiority complex. Some people give a shit about research and want to give it a try to see if they can make it work. There is no way you understand the nuances of how NSF or DoD funding works for your specific areas of research until you spend a lot of time in the weeds of grant proposals and reading reviews.

> My rule of thumb punishes such people compared to those with a broader view

This is a joke. Most BScs have no clue at all how academia works because they don’t care. They are absolutely not more enlightened to the nuances of career prospects in research in their areas of interest.

There are wide gulfs in the funding available depending on sub fields of CS. Research security and you’ll have plenty of money and opportunities at national labs, research arms of corporations, and academia. Go the P/L route and it gets dry pretty quickly.

> Cool personal insult - who has the inferiority complex here?

If you’re gonna try to insult, at least get it right. It would be a superiority complex if you wanted to view my post through the lens of pushing “how smart” grad students are. Yours is an inferiority complex because you’re taking out your lack of institutional credentials on anyone who has them with some convoluted logic about how people are stupid if they spend extra time in academia.
If we made natural gas 10x cheaper, using it for carbon sequestration wouldn't work at all...
Gas is needed for fertilizer production because it's one of the input resources - Haber-Bosch capture of ammonia (nitrogen) requires a source of hydrogen and that's usually natural gas since it's rich in hydrogen.

As such, lumping in the gas that's used for fertilizer production in with gas used for energy production makes limited sense - it's not fungible and can't just replaced with nuclear (or any other) energy. In the future, it would be possible to use hydrogen generated via hydrolysis, but we're pretty far off doing that on industrial scale.
This. The situation here seems like the inverse of investment rounds for startups, where "the pie gets larger, and the value of your share gets larger, despite you share of the pie itself becoming smaller." Their share of renewables got larger, but the overall energy pie itself got smaller, and that's a problem.
The same law or principle that allows me to use the pages of a book as wallpaper. Why can't I use my legally obtained copy in anyway I choose so long as it doesn't violate any law or contract? My point is that copyright only protects from the making of copies, and licenses are something else entirely.
I also am not fond of TV's that snoop on everything in my living room and spew out unwanted ads. But recently I had to buy a new TV. Here's my setup.

The TV is an LG 55" model OLED55C1 (could be a Costco specific model number), very good color and sound. I expect to keep it for ten years or more as I did with my previous LG plasma.

Next I got an Asus PN51 Ryzen 3, very cute, small and quiet mini computer (had to add an SSD and memory). I loaded the latest Linux Mint onto it and used an HDMI cable to connect it to the TV. The TV was not happy about not being connected to wifi (that's what the PN51 is for) but eventually it succumbed.

The final piece is a Logitech MX Ergo wireless blue tooth mouse. The result is fabulous all around as a TV and a computer.

So all in it's about $2k USD which is a lot up front but given the hours of use by our household over ten years it's probably the best value I've bought since my last TV.
You are comparing people that used crack at least once in their lifetime with people who drink reasonable amounts of alcohol for decades. Then this comparison became basis for comparing effect of crack on people with the effect of alcohol in people. This is disingenuous.
Oh this might be exactly what I need. Giving it a try now. Thanks!
I think, like most people here, you are overestimating the demand for self-service.

Most people are far too busy these days to be trying to fix their own device.

And as someone who tried to fix a MacBook it requires a level of care, skill and confidence that is a step beyond most people.

No I didn’t. Read the thread. It lumped both together.
Hi typingmonkey. So SurrealDB abstracts away the document aspect of IndexedDB so it can be used as a key-value store. We then use that key-value store (in a similar way to RocksDB) to store the data in SurrealDB. You can see our abstraction layer here: https://github.com/surrealdb/indxdb . It's actually pretty performant in our tests so far, and we'll be releasing this soon as a WebAssembly library, enabling SurrealDB to run in the browser locally.

I know rxdb (am a stargazer) so I'm really interested to hear suggestions or thoughts around this area!
Do most programs need to know the birth date of the user?

I can look my Reddit comment history and know that this is truth.

Ditto on your last comment as well. If not for this conversation, I don't think I would even admit to having a Reddit account around these parts.
Right. The height difference between the high and low points is roughly 20 km. That's 1/650 of Earth's diameter of roughly 13000 km. If your globe on your desk is 65 cm wide, the topographic variation is 1 mm. Not quite thinner than a sheet of paper, but imperceptible to the human eye.

Globes that show topography magnify it in the vertical direction, by at least 10x. Mountains may look huge to us puny humans, but they're infinitesimal at the scale of Earth's full size.

I might add the initial discussion was about Google tracking ads but I'm curious to hear what you have to say about these down market trackers.
Thinking on it, I think I’ve heard my 12 mini ring a couple of times, but always in the context of “What? Weird, why is that on?”

I had a custom ring tone on my first iPhone, and probably the Android after that. Since then, it’s never been worth the effort. I’m rarely in a situation where I need to hear my phone ring.
I have seen (but cannot find now) a command line tool that you give two addresses, it queries OpenTripPlanner for itineraries and displays the result using walking, train etc. Unicode emojis.
More likely your domestic fertilizer production will shutdown and you’ll import it from places that don’t tax natural gas as highly, unless you have ultra-cheap electricity.

This isn’t a horrid idea if you don’t have access to piped gas (LNG = hard to ship, nitrogen salts = easy).

Having said that, I am all for replacing income taxes with carbon taxes.

Taxing people’s work, skill and effort should be avoided at all costs.
non-metals have their own problems and glass tends to have some really weird properties.

I would think a major one would be their failure mode. Metals flex and expand before they eventually fail. Glass/ceramic is fine until suddenly it isn't and has a total failure.

Think of a window being hit. If it were metal it would probably deform but if it is glass it shatters.

Next would be joining them on-site. If needed, metal piping can be bent and welded in-place. what do you do with a glass pipe that needs a join? what do you do if there is a small variation in the plans and the pipe needs an adjustment?

I think there are a host of reasons why glass is not used for pipes.
US has plenty of power to enact regime change, ie destabilize entire countries and/or regions. What the US manifestly lacks is power to bring up a decent replacement regime to provide order around a set of resonant moral values. And so chaos slowly engulfs the world as the sun sets over the American Empire. Chaos age, until the next Empire.
Just goes to show what can happen why you rely on a single platform for all or just a large chunk of your business. You should always have alternatives and an exit strategy.

As I said, the education system in the West really needs a revamp. I just gave one example and already knew that you are going to post that one link as a retort (which does not provide any counter arguments to the points made by Jacques Baud at all). Hope your heroes from Azov were "evacuated" safely, as reported by the Western press. Honestly, I find it hard to believe that people can trust the Western press after the absolute nonsense they have reported so far and continue doing.
Hi Voisin, we understand your point, and our intentions when we built the tool and also now is to create value for the users, and that’s what we want to make money from, nothing else.

We shared the story, because we wanted the people to know that we are real people building a real product and who we are, so our users can connect with us at personal level, and also that as students and recent grad, we are full of energy and we will be building a great value product.

The idea of sharing our story (which resounded with us) came from talking to some early testing users, and they shared that in a product where we are providing lifetime access, it is needed that we open up our story to people and let them know who we are.

From your point, I understand it might not exactly sound that way to everyone, and we need to improve our messaging more, but our intentions are to sell the product not our story.

We hope you understand and we would love to have you on fundingfyre.

Also, thanks a lot for your response, really appreciate it.

Out of curiosity, is $10/month prohibitively expensive for you or other developers? Copilot is free for open source developers and students.
Even the people that believe in climate change do not change their habits. It is simple to not eat meat. Very few actually practice it.
Your software never has bugs? We definitely had to turn something off before because something didn't line up/someone messed up planning during a bigger tech transition. This stuff happens in big orgs ran by humans, I'm happy that it's back and it's a lot better than the first result in any case.
BMW focused first on hybrid approaches. Saying they abandoned electric is a bit weird.

(they are one of the only german brands that offer literally every model in a hybrid version, with decent battery packs. I can commute full electric with my hybrid if I charge at work. I drive about 80% full electric. Really only use the engine in the weekend and when using sport mode)

Audi focused on hydrogen and full electric. Hydrogen wasn't the success they hoped it to be. Their gamble for CNG cars also didn't pay off. But at least hydrogen powered cars had electric motors, which is why Audi managed be have the e-tron already in 2018. That is a brilliant car, beats a Tesla in daily use imho, if only it had 100 miles extra range (it has about 200-250). And now they are just limited by chip shortages and battery production for a full electric rollout, same for BMW. The lead times on the i4, iX3 etc.. are ridiculous, 14 to 18 months. So why bother brining out newer models? That's why they stick to hybrid. You can make about 7 hybrids with the scarce resources to produce one full electric.

True, the plastic tab can be annoying, but I guess the sheer abundance of patch cables nowadays means the cheapness of the connector, while retaining pretty good ease of use (better than many others), makes up for that drawback. Maybe something slightly more resilient could have been designed within the same parameters, had people known just how ubiquitous that connector would become.

Maybe M12 is that, but it looks way more expensive at first glance. Possibly more laborious to connect/disconnect, too, with its screw-locking? Seems to be better for applications where a secured connection is more important (transportation is mentioned).

And yeah, the 1000base-T pin ordering seems unusual. I'm curious about the history there, because even 10base-T (where I thought Ethernet for Twisted Pair begun) had this really weird pinout, which does not support my initial theory that it was because Ethernet kept progressively adding more differential pairs: https://www.arcelect.com/10baset.htm It may well be because they added the original two pairs to a pinout that already carried something else, but the diagrams don't say what those other lines were for, so if anyone knows...

According to those same diagrams, though, it seems to be more common to split up the pairs than not, which now makes me wonder if there is any benefit to that?

That's the propaganda Khan, who was extremely unpopular with both the army and the public, was pushing.

The real reason his PM career was untenable was because (a) he pissed off the Pakistani military by threatening to unilaterally replace the military leader, whose support was the only reason he became PM in the first place, and (b) his party appointed some virtual unknown and definite incompetent (who was a friend of his wife's) as the leader of the Punjab province which has over 50% of the population of Pakistan.

His latter action also angered members of his own party and members of his alliance that saw their own political careers threatened because he took such politically poor actions with half the country's population.

Finally, what would have been astonishing is if Imran Khan (or anyone for that matter), would have completed his term. He would have been the first PM to do so in Pakistan's history.

It really doesn't require a conspiracy theory centered around America to explain something that is the norm in Pakistan.

Hi fleetwoodsnack,

Ayush and our other co-founders are high school and undergraduate students, except me, I am a recent grad and we have also clearly mentioned this in your about page on fundingfyre website and our LinkedIn profiles. (About page link is in header on FundingFyre.com)

I am the only one trying to get out of debt, and the rest of the co-founders are trying to make enough to pay their tuition fee.

We are not trying to hide anything, we have very clearly mentioned it on our website and our LinkedIn profiles as well.

Though, in this post Ayush made a mistake and forgot to put in my background details, and then there was no edit option once posted, so he couldn’t update it.

There is no misinformation, and we are more than willing to show documents proving our background details, if the community want us to show.

We understand the comments in the post here are concerning, and we are in talks with legal advisor, but for the most part, on basis of their first inputs, we are not breaking laws here, and we just need to be make some structural changes, and clearly share our offerings, and what we are charging for, and the decks are owned by their respective owners.

Though we are really thankful to the community for pointing these things out to us.

Also, we really appreciate you putting effort into adding our profiles, and making your point, but with due respect, I want to assure you that we have clearly shared who we are, and we are not trying to hide anything, it’s just Ayush made a small mistake and forgot to add my background, for which I apologise on behalf of our whole team.

Thanks a lot for understanding.

I don't think NFTs worked well at all -- they had a brief spike of popularity then were mostly forgotten.

Right now BendDAO is in trouble because nobody really cares about NFTs anymore, they can't sell the ones they got as a collateral, and already ran out of funds.

S16 here. I think the greatest value add was actually being able to work heads-down for 3 months knowing that you would almost certainly get investment on Demo Day. Almost all companies got investment, since YC was extremely selective back then (batch sizes were much smaller) and investors generally trusted YC's judgement. Prior to S16, this was probably even more true.

If it weren't for YC one would have to spend 50% of their working hours having coffee chats and preparing demos, since investors generally had their own contorted idea of what a good demo is before they would invest, and it was usually not what the customer wanted. Being able to get twice as much work done in return for 7% was a good deal.

I don't think that applies anymore, sadly, with the large batch sizes they accept now. Nowadays you'll have to waste half your summer having coffee, not have guaranteed investment, and still give away 7%. Not a good deal.

Also, if you live in the bay area, it's fairly easy to come across most YC advice and get investor intros just by going to enough house parties with seasoned founder attendees.
Do you have a name?
Well what’s a “real” photo?

If I take your photo and photoshop (very well) different surroundings. Is it a real photo if you?

If I photoshop your face (very well) onto a different body. Is that real?

If I feed your photos into a model that can create realistic versions of those photos in different poses or with different facial expressions. Is that real?

They all start with something that is very definitely a real photo. You can’t (yet? ever?) generate a realistic photo of a specific person from a textual description. The machinery needs a source.
