> Is more more useful than having a longer runway from big co savings? Doubtful.

Having worked at a startup before, I now know to never risk a substantial amount of my own money on the venture. The risk of failure is too high. I would either a) go the side project->bootstrap route or b) have angel or accelerator money lined up, which should be easy because having worked at a startup before, my network now includes angel investors.

> This information is available in YC Startup School, lean startup, etc...

I have participated in Startup School. It certainly has some value, but it is in no way a substitute for working at a startup. Not even close. Also, your competitors have access to the same resources, so it is not exactly a competitive edge.

That is called marketing and market research. Almost every startup in existence does it. And if you work at a startup, you will get a close up look at how it is done, and you will get some valuable lessons on what to do and what not to do. And having worked at a startup, I now also have a list of potential freelancers in case I wanted to contract that work out.
Beware of sealing things that weren't intended to be sealed - for example, a crawlspace may have been designed to be ventilated, and sealing above or around it can lead to rot in the cross-members under the floor.
It is pretty ironic the other nations in the five eyes were outraged at contractors. The UK at least certainly does not have a leg to stand on: there are plenty of defence contractors that routinely work with and for GCHQ, and big government contractors are just as much a part of the UK industry as they are the US.

Pot, meet kettle.
Sorry, I should have been more precise but it doesn't change the thrust of my argument.

Glossopteris extended into the Permian, ~298 - 250 MYA, and some of its coal deposits are referred to as 'Permian coals'.
Yeah, I know. I'm just venting really.
The SVN-controlled code generated data by controlling hardware and embedded the $Id$ of the controlling script in its output. I would then refer to the version ID later, when loading that data in for analysis. This accounted for any changes to the data-generating code.

For example, we tracked the orientation and direction of objects moving on a screen. One update redefined 0° to be up/north/12:00 instead of the +x direction used before. The code which loaded these files checked the $Id$ value and rotated the directional data so that the entire dataset used the same definition.

That very much depends on jurisdiction; don't assume that American laws and norms are universal, nor that they are the best way of doing things.
Russia is throttling the throughput although there are no sanctions for gas and all contracts with the German side are still in place.

Russia's behaviour is as if you had announced to cancel your internet contract next year and they suddenly throttle your internet this year to spite you.

You're the one putting a spin on things and I wonder why.
I'll add two more that I find important to the "Strategies" category:

1. Write things down. Have an assumption? Write it down. Then write down how you will test your assumption and the results.

2. Being able to systematically enumerate possibilities and rule them out one by one, often times indirectly. Yes, one needs to understand the system but one also needs to have a good strategy to use that knowledge. By "indirectly," I mean being able to reason like so: If P, then Q. Not Q. Therefore not P.
That is our hope!

I would like to amplify KingOfCoders answers with the experience in Romania. I lived in 1980's Romania. The party provided a guaranteed job - but only if you worked where the party sent you. The party provided a guaranteed apartment - but only if you lived where the party sent you. The apartment did not have heat and did not have electricity. If you were lucky maybe it had a somewhat stable gas supply. Hopefully the gas stoves you rigged to heat your apartment would not blow up (this happened). The guaranteed job did not feed you because of the food shortages. The party provided free health care - but there were no medicine. The hospitals did not have heat and when my sister went for apendicitis surgery my parents were on pins and needles just so the hospital does not get hit by an electricity blackout. I could go on and on but if you still think it was better under communism then nothing I say will change your mind.
I'd strongly recommend the POSSE model (post on your own site, syndicate everywhere), with Cory Doctorow's Pluralistic as an excellent examplar: posted to https://pluralistic.net, syndicated to Twitter, Mastodon, & elsewhere, frequently hitting HN as well (through independent submissions).

Nice list. I would add, near the top, "don't be clever unless it makes the code significantly easier to read for others".

For example, if your code involves a lot of linear algebra, then operator overloading the sensible operators is probably a good thing. But don't use operator overloading just to save some keystrokes.

Over-abstraction is another such case. Try to avoid adding abstraction layers until you need them.

I'd also add "make the code as self-documenting as possible". That means being verbose at the right times, such as writing meaningful identifier names.

And of course "avoid global variables". I've seen people use singletons with a read/write member, which is as much a global variable as any other.
Snap definitely pays on the mid-to-high end of base salary, but TC numbers are always inflated 100-300% by RSUs, so I don't see how TC is relevant.

The nice thing would be having a basic level of trust that the person you're interviewing is an actual person. If all job interviews need to start off with a CAPTCHA we'll be in a bad place.

I imagine these shell-game interview tricks work really well at large companies where the HR screen is considered to be perfect and thus managers rejecting numerous candidates at the interview layer will be penalized in some manner. "Look, Polly on the Cloud-X-AI team accepted 80% of applicants that reached the interview phase - why is your team accepting just 20%? Is this a culture fit issue that we'll need to intervene on?"
Looks awesome! You mentioned that there’s not a lot of regulation of skincare products, but doesn’t the FDA regulate sunscreen pretty heavily? Like the US is behind Europe/Asia in sunscreens we offer because we’re not allowed to use any of the modern ingredients.

I resonate a lot with what you're saying.

> I always came with the perspective that your CMS need not and usually should not be responsible for any of that and you can manage all of that in the application tier via a tag manager product or the like

Totally agreed. A CMS should stick to managing content. And its flexibility should allow it to integrate with services that are purpose-built. In addition to those that you mentioned, a good example of this would be Algolia for search experiences.

> "it will require far fewer developer hours to implement" which will resonate a lot more with budget holders.

I also resonate with this, and I think this needs to be worked into our positioning more, because that, at its core, is what Payload tries to do -through- its developer friendliness. When you don't have to fight your software, you save an incredible amount of time. At the core of any larger content infrastructure is code, and the more efficiently you can implement it, let alone maintain it, the more time / money you can save.

Maybe starting this way makes sense.

But when the project is trying to compare itself to others, it's only fair to compare based on what's true of the project currently vs what's aspirational. I would guess that for many potential users, the temporary limitations trump most of the stuff in the comparison portion of the FAQ, or the "current shortcomings" section.

And the "Getting Started" section could also say "create an account and familiarize yourself with the existing terrastruct product" or whatever.

"Crypto Crime Trends for 2022: Illicit Transaction Activity Reaches All-Time High in Value, All-Time Low in Share of All Cryptocurrency Activity" https://blog.chainalysis.com/reports/2022-crypto-crime-repor...

> In fact, with the growth of legitimate cryptocurrency usage far outpacing the growth of criminal usage, illicit activity’s share of cryptocurrency transaction volume has never been lower.

> […] Transactions involving illicit addresses represented just 0.15% of cryptocurrency transaction volume in 2021 despite the raw value of illicit transaction volume reaching its highest level ever. As always, we have to caveat this figure and say that it is likely to rise as Chainalysis identifies more addresses associated with illicit activity and incorporates their transaction activity into our historical volumes. For instance, we found in our last Crypto Crime Report that 0.34% of 2020’s cryptocurrency transaction volume was associated with illicit activity — we’ve now raised that figure to 0.62%. Still, the yearly trends suggest that with the exception of 2019 — an extreme outlier year for cryptocurrency-based crime largely due to the […] scheme — crime is becoming a smaller and smaller part of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Law enforcement’s ability to combat cryptocurrency-based crime is also evolving. We’ve seen several examples of this throughout 2021, […]

> However, we also have to balance the positives of the growth of legal cryptocurrency usage with the understanding that $14 billion worth of illicit activity represents a significant problem. Criminal abuse of cryptocurrency creates huge impediments for continued adoption, heightens the likelihood of restrictions being imposed by governments, and worst of all victimizes innocent people around the world. In this report, we’ll explain exactly how and where cryptocurrency-based crime increased, dive into the latest trends amongst different types of cybercriminals, and tell you how cryptocurrency businesses and law enforcement agencies around the world are responding. But first, let’s look at a few of the key trends in cryptocurrency-based crime […]

The approved versions of the vaccine are not actually being distributed, at least as of a few months ago. Your own FDA article differentiates them.

>The vaccine has been known as the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine, and the approved vaccine is marketed as Comirnaty, for the prevention of COVID-19 in individuals 12 years of age and older.

The Pfizer-BioNTech version is different than the Comirnaty version. Even if the difference is just the label, we have no way of knowing. The difference is likely the difference between name brand and generic. There's no reason, as far as I know, to believe there's any difference in efficacy or safety. However, the one that is being distributed is still the Pfizer-BioNTech version because that one carries liability immunity for Pfizer due to the EUA. They would be foolish to produce and distribute the approved version. I believe the prevailing narrative that the vaccines are safe enough and effective enough to use.
Yes. Techs and doctors are different!
Ah awesome! Thanks for the comment! I'd absolutely like to trade experiences sometime. I will certainly send you a message.

Yup am seeing this weekly now when hiring. Pretty sure these are just companies who are employing cheap foreign labor and acquiring higher paying American jobs. Wage arbitrage?
Certainly. I felt the way you describe my whole life until 2016. In 2013 I had a sleep study done. I had what's called central sleep apnea, an issue where the carbon dioxide 'sensor' in my brain stem wasn't functioning properly, so it didn't detect when I needed to breath in again. Not as easy to replace as my car's oxygen sensor unfortunately. I needed a BiPAP, which pushed air in and pulled air out -- first doc put me on a CPAP and it was much worse. BiPAP was not fun but it helped.

I would take the machine to the neurologist monthly or so, he'd read the SD card and show me the results: stopped breathing at least 40-100 times a night.

Fast forward about 3 years, I entered into ketosis -- that's another story, but for now it just means that I stopped eating all carbs, my liver started pulling fat from my diet and fat stores and forming ketones. Muscle would burn the fat, the brain would use the ketones exclusively.

I felt amazing, slept incredibly well, did not nap during the day, was just all manner of incredible things happen from that. Went from 202 to 187 in about 55 days (I wasn't monitoring it, just knew what I'd weighed, and went for a weigh in to get clearance for a gym at work one day and there it was. I was shocked.)

Took the BiPAP machine in about 3 months after going into ketosis: Zero events. I had zero times I stopped breathing at night.

Maybe my cause was different, but I'd bet anyone going into ketosis for a period of months would see healing in the brain that may help this and other issues. I think this because back in the day, epilepsy was treated with a diet that kept patients in ketosis, and after about 6 months, they no longer had epilepsy. Sounds to me like the brain did some repairs it couldn't do when on carbs.

I now think ketosis used to be our natural state before agriculture. Not like there were vending machines with Snickers bars on the savannas we evolved on - high carb diets I don't think existed. Wish I could find the reference, but some research showed that someone on the typical modern diet (high levels of blood glucose) would, when given ketones exogenously (they ate or drank them), have them taken up by the brain immediately -- the brain prefers ketones, even over glucose, the opposite of what we keep being told. Hardly anyone today ever enters ketosis with our diets.

Before doing any further drastic and potentially irreversible things like surgery or drugs, I'd seriously consider trying to get and stay in ketosis for at least 3 months and see how that affects your apnea. It can be a challenge, but not insurmountable. First couple of weeks may be hard, read up on what to do to get through that time, then stick with it for a while.

(EDIT: Forgot to mention, I had GERD too, that's gone. No more acid reflux, even when I eat foods that used to trigger it.)
Probably, but small instances of cheating aren't going to push the curve all that much. We were mostly functioning as a first layer as well, so if the likely cheaters couldn't perform, they'd still get filtered out during the companies' onsites. At least that was the rationale.

The only way I can kind of envision what you’re saying is for Facebook to be nationalized. Is that what you’re referring to? If so, sure, it’s a democracy still.
Frankly, rather than wrapping this in child protection rhetoric, this should have just been a universal privacy protection law. If they had skipped all this "Think of the Kids!" nonsense, and just banned the utterly abominable data gathering rampant on the internet today, this kind of negative side effect could be completely avoided.

What we need is basic, common sense legislation that says:

- Gather no more data than you need for business purposes. Persist even less. If you can't express a specific business purpose for the data, you can't gather it.

- Share no more data than you need to for business purposes, and with as few parties as possible.

- Publicize those specific business purposes paired with what categories of data you collect, and who you share it with. This should be a table, with 4 columns: "category", "justification", and "Shared With", "Duration".

- Whatever data you do gather, you're liable for, with good-faith attempts at following industry best security practices being an mitigating factor but not a complete defense in civil suites following a data breach.

The GDPR didn't go far enough: the law should be explicit in stating that the user CANNOT consent to data being gathered about them in excess of what a service they are actively engaging with needs for legitimate business purposes. The less wiggle room you give, the less ridiculous, user-hostile attempts to circumvent the law you'll have.
This seems to be a technically. If Russia withdraws from Ukraine tonight then tomorrow Europe would be far more like to take significant steps to get the gas and payment flowing.
If I've hit the point where I'm deciding to contact your support channel, I have absolutely zero interest in looking through any other documentation. Anything that's preventing me from contacting a human is a waste of time.

At the point of contacting support, I've probably already done my research and have come to the conclusion:

* I don't know how to explain my issue. I want a human that might be able to make the connection for me.

* I've already searched your docs. They're either too confusing, don't answer my question, or lack clarity in a critical detail.

* I haven't searched your docs because I suspect it's a glitch (like downtime) or bug (like clearly bad UI)

* I haven't searched your docs because, I don't care. I'm doing a courtesy of informing you of a problem, but I don't expect you to fix it.

* I'm a potential customer. I want to understand how your team will actually deal with me if I have issue. Good documentation is great, but useless if you don't have a human to support weird edge-cases.
I’d like to signal boost strace. It is a lifesaver. In some ways it’s more important than your compiler: it’s how you know what wrong-ass directory your compiler is pulling the broken config from.

I find that this type of code is much easier to debug in a debugger, while harder to debug looking at source code.

When in a debugger, I can throw a breakpoint in, inspect inputs and outputs, if they are what I expect, there is (generally[1]) no reason to dive into those other files.

When reading the code from source outside of a debugger, as a new person to the code base, I agree with you and the exact problem you are describing.
