Just to clarify on point 4, directly from the link;

> Cloudflare is not providing any funding or making any funding decisions, and there is no guarantee that any particular company will receive funding through the program. All funding decisions will be made by the venture capital firms that participate in the program. Cloudflare is not a registered broker-dealer, investment adviser, or other similar intermediary.

So it’s not a fund. Cloudflare just has an agreement that a set of venture funds will set aside capital for companies that leverage workers and in return Cloudflare will provide deals / resources to said startups.

The reason I bring this up is because this is significantly less helpful to founders building on their platform than simply having a strategic fund of their own. The tl;dr on why is because it’s an additional hoop to jump through to get to an investment decision.

As a founder that has raised a significant amount of strategic capital and operates in the same space as CF Workers, if you want companies built on your platform funded, optimize for fast process. I worry the dealflow will actually work in the wrong direction here, with these firms simply telling startups, “we’ll give you some CF credits if you build stuff using workers — helps us hit our promised allocation with Cloudflare.” Which might be the intent, but running a strategic fund is probably more founder-friendly and may create better outcomes.
Do many people use the other party’s name in conversation in the first person? I seem to only do it when trying to get their attention at the beginning.
Been coding in C and python since I was 13. I’m 29 now. No way will I allow those high level language take away my ability to think. With that being said. I’m starting to also see a bit of memory decline when I was 27. It seems like I’m googling simple stuff I already know.

Maybe it’s not a cognitive decline but the lack of practice. Because in high school and college. I just coded without googling. Now I’m just copying and pasting.

Maybe, as we get older. We value time and don’t want to learn things that wouldn’t be beneficial long term?

Isn’t this partially what this model is accomplishing with sentiment analysis?

Also has there been a lot of investment into sentiment analysis for algo trading? I’m sure there have but references including books would be interesting.
> The dollar is rising because people need American stuff

Not really, and the USA trade deficit is going to get worse because USA stuff is more expensive due to exchange rates.

There is increased demand for usd because:

1) Europeans are sick of low/negative yields at home, and

2) some big non-USA borrowers issued debt in usd and must pay it back in usd.

The whole war makes no sense. Putin had lost his senses.

1. Putin seriously cite Dugin[1]. Putin acts like he believes this bullshit.

2. There was a lot of people who on different occasions told "Putin wouldn't do that, it would make no sense", so then Putin could prove them wrong later by doing it. This war is one of examples of that kind. Or MH17: why to hit a plane with a missile? There was no sense in it. But it just happened. Why to massacre people in Bucha? It makes no sense.

So, when you talk about Russia the argument "makes no sense" doesn't mean anything. If it made no sense in an alternate reality were Putin resides, then it might be an interesting argument. But in his alternate reality it makes perfect sense to stop selling gas to EU.

Eh? People have some control over native apps too. It’s just a trade-off of what you want to control. I like how I can control the time I spend in my workflow just because native apps are faster and more battery-efficient, and don’t override OS gestures and mouse events within their own windows.
We're taking about a trillion dollar company who can afford all of the talent and has very limited time pressure. I would prefer they do it correctly.
I had to jump in here, not to argue with the substance of the article[1] but to pull out this one quote that I just can't get behind:

> In popular media, a genius hacker codes some solution from scratch in the space of an hour or two, solving a problem that would otherwise doom the other protagonists. But in reality, programming is slow.

I mean, sure, it's not like The Movies. But hacking is fast! In no other profession can you wake up, sit down at your keyboard, be presented with a new problem no one else has addressed before, and build a machine to solve it. All before dinner. That's just magic. Who else gets to do that? No other engineering profession for sure. Maybe some artists can work that fast, but they're shackled to ideas about the subjective value of their work to others whereas we can watch our creations do their magic with our own eyes.

It's the best job there is.

[1] Which is broadly the same point I just made here, but expressed as one anecdote. I'm saying that this is something we can all share.

> It doesn't make sense to suggest that the OP's company deserves this because some other companies did some things you didn't like. This idea that all businesses are bad and deserve to be cheated by their employees is extremely immature.

When the business lobby (that represents, or at least purports to represent, businesses as a whole) has asked for, and got, the laws that make this profitable for them, the responsibility falls on all businesses to a certain extent.
Yes, the police are definitely the wrong group, as their jurisdiction is just local or state, and almost none would have much a clue of how to proceed.

However, the FBI might be very interested. While these situations may be just be a couple of friends scamming, it could also be the tip of the iceberg of an organized crime operation or an espionage operation. Many countries are actively working to get inside American corporations to steal both their technology and anything related to any govt work and secrets. There is not much better way to gain access to the network than to be able to login as an employee.

Even if that one case alone isn't that interesting to them, having the data may very well help crack a much more important NatSec case. Gather the info and report it.

I wish the good old fashion art of writing an agenda was still practiced. And not an hour before the meeting. Give me at least a day. I’ve clarified many a meeting just by looking at the agenda and communicating with the host that J. Doe has more experience in that area than I do. I’ve also been able to get meetings canceled by reading the agenda and figuring out what the person needed.

Agendas. They’re worth the 10 or 15 minutes you’ll spend writing it.

My biggest pet peeve is meetings that come out of Zoom chats “Let’s chat about that later in the week” and the subject of the meeting is “Continue Discussion from Zoom”. Awesome.

Aren't products like smartphones, laptops, desktops, etc all low-margin businesses though? At least for every other company in the market. Apple just sticks to the high end?

Porsche sells hundreds of thousands of vehicles per year with something like $20k profit per car on a $90k average selling price. There could be big demand for an innovative Tesla equivalent that didn't have so many build quality issues.

And Foxconn is desperate to get an Apple car contract. Car companies really screwed themselves by outsourcing everything to suppliers (who have much higher profit margins than the car manufacturers at this point) except the internal combustion engine which is losing importance fast. What I am seeing here for Apple is big demand, low barrier to entry, and high profits.

>"double-speak comes form a book written in support of socialism"

LOL - whut? Did you read a different 1984?

Orwell's thoughts on governance was complicated, and changed over time, but in no way was 1984 some kind of endorsement of socialism.

Also, Marxism is not socialism.

The really weird letter in Esperanto is ĥ. It uses a sound that isn't very common in many languages so it's hard for a lot of speakers to pronounce. (It's like a "ch" sound in German.) Typographically it looks weird. There has been a general trend towards replacing it with a "k".
Fast mimicking diets were tested on elderly folks, because fasting or calorie restriction might be dangerous and has compliance issues

"
The fasting-mimicking diet (FMD) is a low-calorie/low-protein but high-unsaturated-fat diet that has an effect on stress resistance/longevity-related markers similar to those caused by water-only fasting, but that minimizes the burden of prolonged fasting as it provides both macro- and micronutrients. "
I agree! It's worth paying for for the time and the disk space it helps you save. Beautiful visual and UX design.
So I understand they bought their own shares at wildly inflated prices so other people would buy at the same wildly inflated prices and they'd basically pocket the free money...

...but I don't get why those other people would do that, buy those shares at all? Why would this fraud even work at all? Who sees some OTC stock trading at some value and says, oh I'll buy a bunch at that price too, even though I don't know the first thing about this company at all?

Why does this scam work at all -- who falls for it? Or is there some step here that I'm missing?

There is no way to shut the gas production down for long enough for Europe to transition to renewables, the most they could do would be to cause Europe an immense amount of suffering while everyone rushed in to post-Putin Russia to repair the sabotage.
> 2) There are legal/tax ramifications to identity fraud.

Is this asymmetry reasonable or fair? This kind of "identity fraud" seems to be much the same as business outsourcing (represent that the work is going to be done by one party, then it's actually done by another, cheaper and less skilled one); why should one be more illegal or immoral than the other?

I had two refrigerators fail on me the past 5 years. The first one was Bosch, but just in name, all the parts were from someone else. Managed to fix it by replacing the compressor controller board, bought it either from Ebay or from the oem parts sites mentioned elsewhere. The second was a Samsung that has a well known manufacturing defect on the defrosting system. There's several very useful repair videos on YouTube with exact same problem. Got the replacement / improvement part from aliexpress for $3, it's been running better than before since then.
Putin was not content with having his fiefdom and threatened Western security interests by blowing up the post WW2 global order. He stepped out of line and now Russia suffers for it. That's the realism. China knows it and that's why they aren't backing him.

On the one hand, the US explicitly, publicly, and repeatedly threatened to unilaterally stop the pipeline if Russia invaded Ukraine. The US has a clear benefit in the sense that they remove the option for European allies to buy Russian oil. The US also has the ability to do it in the form of ships in the area.

On the other hand, perhaps it's in Putin's interest to destroy his own pipelines for some reason.

So just an FYI. Maybe people are turning their cameras off for a reason.

CarPlay is already there as far as I'm concerned. Vastly better than the built-in UI of my car (VW), which is filled with ugly graphics, annoying, slow animations, and poor organization.
Ultima Online was similar in a lot of ways. They're also similar in that I actively avoided thinking about them to avoid getting addicted. :)
Yeah, Tesla not having CarPlay the main reason I decided not to get one. Having the car be the continuation of my phone is just so convenient.
That's made me think.

Why the hell don't software developers have their own chain of trust?

(Well, professionals in general, but you'd think that we'd have gotten this shit working for ourselves first.)

It would kinda fix this shit - at least to the extent that it was actually used.

So then all you need to do is have "Company X" adopt the policy that all of their people must be connected to the trust chain.

From then on "A" of "Company X" fame can no longer be impersonated (except via theft of keys).

The original lambda calculus also didn't have implicit currying for multi-variable functions. If you wanted to curry a function you had to write out

λx.λy.λz. x (y z)

If you wrote the much more user friendly

λ x y z . x (y z)

And tried currying it then it would fail.

The author is complaining that Python doesn't use a dialect of lambda functions used in Haskell. Which is true. Python isn't Haskell and shouldn't be.

Adding raw TCP is a big deal, it skips all the existing security stack that focuses on HTTP/S.
There is Spectrum and Transit to provide network level protection but... only a few can afford that.

Does this mean that TCP workers would be exposed to network level attacks or would it use transit/spectrum?
If it turns out to be protected; I'd say there would be little to no reason to use Spectrum unless the pricing turns out to be atrocious for long lived connections (which is kind of the point of having TCP workers in the first place).

I hope I did not come out as rude; I'm genuinely curious about what's the plan behind all of this.

Edit: I pointed out there would be no use for spectrum since one could "easily" build a reverse proxy with a tcp worker.
It's not clear that there is really much value in one of those - certainly net-net.

The problem is that a blockchain can only trustlessly and verifiably encode things that are wholly represented on-chain. As soon as you bridge it to anything in the real world you're relying on some degree of trust, and trustlessness is all-or-nothing.

That's why only proper un-backed-by-anything cryptocurrencies actually make any sense - they're wholly on-chain. On the other hand their value flails around wildly like a balloon you forgot to tie off and that limits their practical value to basically nothing. Their monetary policy is in the hands of some un-elected group of randos accountable only to their own enrichment.

Stablecoins: who knows whether they're redeemable? You just have to trust the issuer and the legal system. They also get frozen all the time - Tether freezes more tokens than anyone and there's zero process and probably zero backing. Even Circle/USDC lied about their backing.

Deeds on the blockchain: not your keys not your house? Ok, no thanks? If you have to rely on the court to have final say then the real world diverges from the chain and of course then why even have a chain?

The iron law of blockchain is "if you think the blockchain is a good solution to any given problem you either don't know enough about the blockchain or you don't know enough about the problem."

It's not clear they're anything more than a technological curiosity that's been coopted by anarchocapitalist libertarian grifters.
