What about it? Does it specify that all Chinese mobile apps need to be distributed by the major mobile companies? I don't see how it's related. Please elaborate.
It seems insane to me that the happy path involves you getting $70k. Working in finance, I would expect that amount as a bonus in any year where I perform well and the business isn't unprofitable.

When I've spoken to people about the finance/big tech/startup trade-offs, we've often talked about the upside from startup success (outside of the Google or Instagram case) being around an order of magnitude bigger than that - in the 'pay off your mortgage' ballpark. Is this unrealistic?
Many American companies have done it. Instagram is very popular across the EU.
Makes me remember how much I love exceptions.
It is because USA actually has very strong Limited Liability and Bankruptcy protections for companies and even people.

In Europe, I heard that you have personao liability to your employees, libertarian-style.
I wonder what the world would look like if Google, Microsoft, and Apple had term wars everytime one of their legal teams sued another over patents.

I bet companies would stop suing each other really fast
That's true when it's on the users device, but archived on their servers there's no need for any of the data to be unencrypted. Best case scenario it will never have to be accessed. Even encrypted with their keys would've been a better solution.

I use pass and this attack vector is why I don't sync even in a private git repo like many suggest. I do sync but only encrypted tar files, and even then some sensitve sites are aliases instead of URLs.

Sure it makes life a little more difficult but for some things convenience should be the last priority.
You know how many people tried to build start-ups and failed? Many then you can imagine, and they're heartbroken has you are, it's not necessarily personal. Sometimes business needs some luck, or maybe you product just was...bad, which is ok, that's how you progress. Life is a hit and miss, but you need to learn from mistakes. Because if you aren't, you will never succeed. At least you gathered experience, and if you still have some motivation and a good idea for a start-up, go for it!
This is not the reason jargon exists. What made you say that?

> It's the reason that the speaker used all of the tech jargon (launching a website). If they didn't do that then we would think they didn't know about websites.

To "launch" something is jargon?

You could simply apologize to the GP instead of tripling down on snark, here and in sibling comments. Whatever happens makes no difference to me personally, it's more about making HN a nicer place.
I understand that, but it's more a question of/if using a vanilla engine
>drive out (unless it’s cattle), use ‘stop’, ‘avoid’ or ‘prevent’

Would a better substitute not be 'remove'? To drive out something is to get rid of it.
Thank you! I saw that years ago and have wanted to reference it on several occasions, but never was able to find it again.

9/10 small businesses and startups fail. Most don’t make money in the first 5 years.

It’s a slog. It’s exhausting. Once you do it, your perspective about a lot of things changes. A full time job with a steady paycheck seems like vacation.

>Is it because of the cost to them to produce the audio?

The rates being talked about in the article is just for distribution, doesn't include creating the audiobook. Audible is a publisher as well, but those probably have different deals.
Passkeys aren't immune to phishing. And they are susceptible to being lost. I say that as someone with two.

Worse, they aren't accepted everywhere. And often places only let you have one registered. :(

So, yes, I agree that they are a solution. I don't know that I feel much safer using one, though. And, at large, I can see how they are not much different to passwords. Just ones that you can't speak others easily.

>I'm sure there's fintech ones (not a sector I know much about) and the guy who sits near me in the office, who has an AI-healthcare startup, says the Britain is very good at those too.

The UK has an advantage here over the US in that the tech and finance sectors are both based in London whereas in the US they are split between California and New York.

I would hardly call FT state propaganda in any circumstance. To me true state propaganda is where the state has editorial authority over the dissemination of stories - in the west that still relatively rare.

But absolutely independent of whether FT are propaganda - it does not matter in any way to this story whether they are a 'protected class'. The outrage is that TikTok employees abused their user data in the pursuit of an agenda against targeted individuals.
I agree with your point about Europe squandering engineering talent.

Overall, it's a trade-off, though. You are right about the US opportunities, but there are downsides, too:

- crime (you get crime everywhere, but the US has a particularly and unnecessarily high level of serious crime like gun crime - e.g. school shootings happen pretty regularly);

- not everyone has good healthcare & social services (I am aware you will not personally be exposed to that, as you will have private healthcare; but it even bothers me if people around me are ill and cannot afford to get cured. I don't want to live somewhere where I can get a regular check at the Mayo clinic and my neighbor cannot afford their emergency dentist);

- low average education level (people generally don't know much of the world, history, literature).

- cultural life (theater, classical music etc.) is very uneven distributed.

Also, US taxation isn't that low in general, it dramatically depends on the state you live in (TX 0% state tax versus NY, MN etc. >40%).

There are places in Europe that have small tax rates (CH, LU), but they are not the best places to live for everybody. Everyone needs to weigh their priorities and match with the overall "package" (e.g. Canada is a good compromise: near-US salaries but Europe-like education of the general public) - and in any case, not everyone is free to leave where they currently reside.

Austria in particular has rather low salaries (but also low rents) - but places like Vienna have a magic feel to it that just doesn't exist on other continents. In comparison, in neighboring Switzerland are very high (anyone with a tech Master's degree would be on a six digits salary), but with a huge salary gap between locals and expats for doing the same job.

(I have lived in the UK, US, CH and DE.)
The irony that this is perhaps your most popular post and you didn't plug the product, may want to add an edit and mention it?
Garbage collection isn't generally something that happens periodically as it isn't needed until you get a bunch of new allocations and classically did not happen on some background thread as that's both extremely difficult to pull off and requires threading support in the first place. The simpler way to think about garbage collection is you establish a heap, set a size, and when you run out of space in that heap you run a garbage collection pass during the memory allocation that failed. If you fail to free enough memory, you either kill the program or request a larger heap.

It has nothing to do with taxation - or else the Arab Gulf or Cayman Islands would be entrepreneurial hubs, not California or the Toronto area. It’s all about the price of quality labour. It’s about access to long-term risk capital (aka venture funds) + high quality labour at affordable prices. As in, entrepreneurs having cash to fund projects and being able to actually hire people that will help build them. Try hiring a hundred software engineers in Norway: your hourly cost would probably blow up. The low-tax destinations are the place billionaires go to park their wealth, not create it (for example, outside of Tech Nordic billionaires move to Switzerland after they get rich)
Yes, you would have to overallocate and reuse.

Also Cloanto say they own the ROMs, but they can't prove this.

I think Gateway, and then Acer owns it, but who knows.

I used https://aminet.net/package/util/misc/GrabKickDisk to grab ROMs from my Amigas. But you can just as well grab them from random internet site, check the checksum and be happy and guilt free about it.
Fairly absurd and disproportionate given the particulars. More absurd given CA just lied to clients about the extent of their capabilities which where mostly standard PR firm practice cloaked in tech buzzwords.

Furthermore ridiculous given the US government does something pretty similar on an industrial scale with 1000x more depth and wide cross referencing

The gov.uk team want to make a site for everyone in the country to use. Making it for some smaller “in” group would not help achieve that goal.

You are stereotyping. The Jan 6 insurrection was perpetrated in large part by doctors, lawyers, state legislators, United States congresspeople, business executives, etc. The head of the oath keepers, who was convicted of seditious conspiracy, is a Yale educated lawyer.

It wasn’t the uneducated who were sending fake Certificates of the Vote to the VP. They were practicing lawyers and elected representatives of the government. The wife of a SCOTUS Justice is one of the biggest proponents of right wing conspiracy theories. It doesn’t get more elite than that.
Some of that's down to the internal combustion engine being this insane, complex mechanical device, with 160 years of evolution on top of it. In comparison, electric motors, are much simpler. I'm sure that all of the technology in an EV 60 years from now will be amazingly advanced, but at least for now, an EV has no PCV valve to replace, no timing belt to synchronize a crankshaft and the camshaft; no O2 sensors.
Not that simple. Even for paid media (Netflix, for example) advertising is starting to creep back in, because consumers have no way to resist it. Companies which don't gather ad money and just rely on actual value-transfer transactions get outcompeted.

Advertising itself is only mildly offensive; if done with taste it can be no problem at all, but too many companies seemingly don't know when to stop - the line from Ready Player One about monetizing 70% of a person's field of view sounds exactly like what Meta and Google would do if they could get away with it.

I want legislation on this topic to create breathing space for real businesses which make things of value.

That’s correct. It’s quite a detail in this case, though; this high level description tries to explain why you should never forbid some “special” chars.

Please note that it’s not the same char; it’s actually a different set of code points which happen to have the same representation.

I’ll update the article nevertheless.

Having built security programs at multiple companies, I can tell you it's not something as easy as one person cramming content for a day and then implementing with ease.

It's also unclear what outcome the business is looking for. If I had to guess, a big contract requires "security" and management wants to check that box the cheapest way possible.

If it's about first steps to improving security posture, and assuming you have a SAAS offering - then the first thing I'd do is start a bug bounty with hackerone or bugcrowd. It's the quickest way to both establish a feedback loop on security state, while also introducing a forcing function to prioritize fixing defects.
I don't think Apple is trying to make the iPhones slimmer or lightweight-er. The weight and shape seems to be a feature now so that it can appeal to a certain audience. I believe the previous iphone design had less weight and was slimmer too.

I'm sure waterproof/damage resistent phones can be made along with easy replaceable batteries. It's a policy issue not an engineering one. Worst case scenario they could provide you a "kit" to replace the battery(i.e a special screwdriver like they do for the SIM card)

>> Force manufacturers to sell spare parts which can be used to service the phones.

I think there is already an EU law for that that will come into effect soon.

>> - Mandate Updates for long periods. How is it okay for a phone to have 2 years of updates?

This should be the next step and I'm sure it will happen soon. Part of the solution to this is the incoming law that will force Apple to accept apps outside of its store and 3rd party appstores. That way app updates will no longer be restricted by Apple. Next should be a law to provide security OS updates for at least (i.e 10 years) or open (source) the OS for 3rd party updates.

One thing is sure. There must be laws to stop the planned obsolescence. It went too far and is detrimental to both the consumer and the environment.
If it is copiable, how would you know if it had been compromised?

My understanding is that backup keys should not be identical for that reason. Let's you revoke and audit use.

As such, having a backup has to be accessible so that you can register it places. There are tricks, but they only work in certain scenarios. Mostly not in the fido use cases.
You mentioned "digital nomad influencers" a few times, were you trying to start businesses as a digital nomad, or was that just something you saw as a common feature of the "influencers" you paid attention to?
I'm not a Tesla investor, but when the CEO tweeted that ,,Tesla can take care of itself'', that sounded scary.

He made a $44B deal in Twitter, and he can't accept the repricing in the market that makes it worth significantly less.

He owns 13% of Tesla, which is worth $50B. For him these two companies look like equal importance, while for investors Tesla is the important company.
Struck a nerve, huh? Don’t worry. Like you said in your original comment there’s money to be made in consulting outside MBB and as you just wrote most of the population doesn’t know consulting exists at all, never mind who’s prestigious. But everyone in consulting knows, same as those insecure 21 year olds.
If that’s the case, how far should they be allowed to go with a ban? What happens if they decide that fans of an opposing team shouldn’t be allowed to attend games? Or people who have been oppositional towards ownership or management, like the press. What about banning everyone who works for a vendor or partner because they are sour about a deal going bad or relationship ending? What about politicians or people with opposing views (I don’t believe that’s a protected class?).

Edit: updated to use examples that aren’t part of protected classes.

>> I tried everything - building an audience

How many years have you spent every day doing it? If you haven't done it for multiple years with pushing content every single day - then this is not audience building and not worth even starting.

>> making sure my product actually solved a problem

If you are not sure if solves a problem - you never start building it. To create a startup (and make sure it solves a problem) you need a spreadsheet and stripe checkout page or landing page. If this is not enough - then your idea doesn't solve any real problem.

Another criteria is if you show anyone a product that costs $100/month and clearly saves them $1000/month - everyone will give you $100 right on the spot.
And if it doesn't clearly bring a ton of value - again, solving not a real problem.

The reality is that many (especially engineers) love engineering way more than building startup (building startup involves literally zero engineering on founder part, except from a very very basic MPV)

Also, indie hackers are not startup founders. They are mostly engineers trying to monetize their hobby. In this case you can do literally whatever for 5 years and you can get to 3-5k/month with it.
For comparable benefits per citizen, the US are prohibitively expensive.

Sorry... collaborate means to share focus, while work with is ambiguous. It may simply mean work at the same time.
”deploying” is the closest I can come up with right now, but it’s not quite the same.
My favourite documentation setup was when we decided to go “documentation first” . The entire team would use the documentation every time, and have permissions to modify as they went. We rewarded the “extra time” needed to open the doc and follow/update process every time. (in reality the ROI makes this an easy choice).

There were even cases of printing off doc pages, writing on them while in the field, and updating the digital version.

And it meant that we operated with “one brain” where the documentation always represented the most current collective knowledge.

It was awesomely effective

Thanks, of course I used maps and paper copies of public transport info

Now try using a map while driving. And remembering the turns you need to take to get to a place you know or want to go. Oh but your map is slightly out of date and now that way goes a different way (this can happen with GPS as well, sure, but you can then drive in the general direction you want and have it pick up at a later position once away from the change)

I dont care.

The rest of services I treat as "nice to have"

My accounts on them are irrelevant for me. Losing account on random forum, random game, some streaming platform wouldnt change my life. I would just create a new one.

It would suck, but thats not important

Partly it’s using simpler, more common words, eg dialogue is quite uncommon outside of office-speak (or acting I guess). Partly it’s about avoiding (often very stale) metaphors which make the meaning less clear to people with poorer literacy or who aren’t native speakers. I think it also encourages more direct and concise writing which is a lot better for people who read slowly.
The US is going to start looking like China if big companies can ban you for doing anything they don't like.

I'm usually in favor of companies deciding what they want to do and how they want to price things - but anything related to general discrimination or suppressing free speech seems like a VERY slippery slope that companies shouldn't be allowed to do.

There's already a lot of companies sueing people for leaving bad reviews. This seems completely dystopian. Imagine if you say anything bad about Apple and you can't message iPhone users anymore. If you say anything bad about Google, you can't use any website with Analytics. If you say anything bad about Comcast, you have to sell your house and move to get Internet, etc.

This isn't a world I want to live in.
