>>> is it really the job of the CEO to dig that deep on technical issues?

From the post:

>>> Later I had it explained to me. “Bill doesn’t really want to review your spec, he just wants to make sure you’ve got it under control ...
I see how people come to adopt this perspective. However, because so many tech workers appear ambivalent about their job and tech in general, any signal indicating effort to take control of their career direction is positive.

Every member of a software team does not need to super star autodidact. In a lot of cases it would actually be counterproductive to have such a composition.
There is https://vast.ai which is a generic GPU crowdsourcing platform.

> They charge around 5-15% (almost always 10% though) of every invoice.

That's nothing to balk at. In the US, being a contractor is like selling wholesale, and being an agency is like selling retail. I'd expect the contractor cut to be 30%-50%, and the rest to go to the agency.

I understand this, but what baffles and disgusts me is that you act like they still do and are better than you. It just makes my skin crawl.

The fact that people as scummy and Prince Andrew are considered to be Royalty makes this all the worse.

For me, YouTube is a platform for seeking content rather than a platform for being fed content (like HN or Twitter).
I don’t think it’s possible to knee jerk harder than you have here. Obviously race is not the singular factor and it’s disingenuous to actual discussion to make a claim like that.

I (an American) was actually unaware that "tabled" could mean the same as "shelved". I'd always heard those used as antonyms but I've also only really heard the word "tabled" used as it was in the articled, "tabled for discussion".

I'm a bit suspicious I've heard it phrased that way for clarity's sake. Probably some good editors behind that.

The issue is that it becomes necessary as marginalized candidates are given preferences during the hiring phase. So if the same privilege is not extended during layoffs it will unfairly impact them.

I’ve always felt that the this concept, applied to charitable donations, would be killer.

In particular, I want:

- an app like m1 finance where I can build a “pie” of charities to donate to on a recurring basis, selected from a vetted list of upstanding charities

- to clearly see how the charities use the funds, and how the app covers its own costs

- for any contribution I make, I can see the tax benefits I’ll receive for making it (I know that’s probably super hard, but if someone can figure that out, I guarantee you’ll see a spike in charitable giving)

I (probably naively) think that a product like this could help eliminate a ton of social issues by better funding charities than the current system
There's an obvious asymmetry in power and impact! Having one of X employees leave is absolutely nothing like losing your one of one job. A closer analog would be when a business stops working with a consultant who has other clients; nobody seriously sees that as a problem.
> If they ignored race entirely, and just laid off people at random

This is a false dichotomy. They could have done layoffs based on the company's needs and the performance of the employees. That isn't random.

Your big picture point amounts to a heckler's veto. The more you cater to the heckler, the more powerful the heckler becomes.
The bet being made by El Salvador is to get the immense benefits of being an early adopter at the cost of short term volatility and risk of bitcoin failing.

Regardless of your opinion on this, you have to at least wait till the proposition plays out before passing judgement. You have to see if they can withstand the short term volatility and whether bitcoin succeeds or not.

Calling the experiment failure before the results is silly to say the least.

Eddy currents develop in proportion to the speed of the moving magnetic field. So if you used eddy currents for braking, it would be most effective at high speed and gradually have no stopping power at low speed.
Another point to consider: Why does youtube permit ads to run that not only are not effective in generating revenue for the advertisers (as no users click through on them) but also harm user opinions of wanting to use youtube in general. Will google make the same mistakes that television made?

A significant portion of purchases are now made online, so if users don't click through an ad that directly means they won't be buying the thing being advertised.
There are countless companies running bizarre internal applications written using the NetBeans interface builder and I know for a fact they will never migrate away from it. It's certainly the also-ran of Java IDEs but 'extinction' is a little hyperbolic.
FYI: The (Federal) statute of limitations on fraudulent bank transfers is 5 years. That's from a "they can prosecute you" standpoint. Various states have their own laws but in Florida (where I live) the undo button on the "oops, the bank/some company transferred a million into your account without noticing" is one year.

There's two reasons why the time frame is so short: 1) "It's their own damned fault." There's an expectation that of all the institutions that should have 100% control and visibility to all of their transactions it's banks and big businesses. 2) The longer funds have gone unreturned the more expensive and time consuming it (usually) is to trace where the money went. I don't know if one year is the optimal period for such tradeoff calculations (probably not) but it is what it is.
As a former Patreon team member, he has done an incredible job of attracting creator-focused team members -- one of the most mission oriented groups I've ever been a part of.

Don't mistake that for being a good CEO. He gives deep-felt apologies every time he does layoffs... which he does frequently. Often because he just doesn't like what people are doing. He also frequently communicates with the public in a more heart-felt manner than he does his own employees. He's great at putting out a great face.

The type of scammers Kitboga deals with aren't really the same as what's discussed above, but it's close. The scammers Kitboga deals with typically operate by gaining access to your PC, having you log into your bank account, and using your browser's html debugger to edit the screen to make it appear as if they actually sent you too much money. Whereas the offline, traditional, version of this scam actually involves sending you a bad check and you depositing it and hoping you send them money before the bank figures out it was a bad check and removes the money from your account.

You're missing a few key factors that sway things in the favor of electric:

* Induction burners are much more efficient, as gas generally is wasted by heat wicking around the edge of your pan.

* There is a significant amount of natural gas that is lost (without being burned) via leaking out of pipes. I think the industry reports something like 3% is wasted. Given natural gas contains a lot of methane, that has a pretty large effect on greenhouse gas emissions. Removing gas lines to residences should, hopefully, reduce that amount since there are less pipes and joints running everywhere.

* As others have pointed out, power mix is usually not 100% natural gas. In terms of greenhouse gas creation, it's going to favor electric production, I think, based on the current mix of electricity in most places.

> The DEI camp want to improve the world in which we currently live.

Perhaps their intent is noble, but they seem to have been counterproductive. First of all, DEI programs don't actually work, and this is pretty widely accepted[0][1][2][3][4]. Secondly, broader woke identity politics are not merely ineffective at reducing right-wing identity politics, they are driving them. Since left-wing identity politics became mainstream, right-wing identity politics moved from the fringe to a mainstream position. Right-wing identity politics moved from the margins in 2010 to a pretty popular position among Republicans. Right-wing hate groups have increased in number and brazenness. And by the way, liberals were sounding the alarm that this would be the consequence of going all-in on left-wing illiberalism--there was obviously no way that reducing everyone to their skin color was ever going to do anything other than increasing a right-wing white identity.

>Is there currently a big market for new logging solutions?

There is a market, but it's saturated with offerings. There are so many solutions out there right now for metrics and log aggregation.

>There will always be potential for a 'better mousetrap' to take some market share from existing solutions, but are current ones bad enough that a great solution could come in an capture significant market share? Or are today's systems 'good enough' that any new solution would face huge headwinds, even if it has some cool features?

I'm going to take a guess and say the latter. There are a lot good(enough) off-the-shelf and managed services, that another offering is going to have a very hard time breaking through.

>What is the biggest 'pain point' for people working with log data today?

Ingestion, transformation, indexing, querying, visualization - those are all pretty much solved problems and everyone has a good enough solution. For me, it's specialized/niche use-cases and workflow, where the gaps are. For example, is your logging managed service able to be a drop-in HIPAA compliant solution (are individual customer logs physically segregated at the host level? Do you support automatic detection of Personal Health Information? Do you have an audited workflow to remove or deidentify, in batch, the offending logs. Do you support specialized access and dashboards to my customers so that they can see metrics and logs for their site? Do you support air-gapped, enterprise, on-prem deployments?).

Yes and no. Contract companies massively overcharge so your contract rate can still be market rate.

8 years ago in London I knew about some companies charging 1000+£ per day to customers and paying the contractors 400-600£.

You should still avoid those places, but many contractors didn't have the contacts to charge higher than 400-600£.

> Will google make the same mistakes that television made?

TV didn't go away because of ads but because consumers shifted to a different model of consuming content.

Most people browse the web and don't even know about ad blockers. It's a very small bubble that's really loud and anti-ads. I hear from many people that actually like Instagram ads as they act as a recommendation engine for them.

> Why does youtube permit ads to run that not only are not effective

Advertisers test different ad copies and versions A LOT. You can be sure that if there's an ad running it's at least somewhat effective for the use case they are trying to achieve. Just like billboards an ad also can just increase awareness even if you don't click through.
