Internet enabled cars were never a good idea. I dread the day I have to give up my mid-00s Honda and replace it with something new, since everything seems loaded with phone-home spyware and killswitches now.
TLDR Just because everyone bets on a horse it doesn't mean it will win.
In many states you can legally discriminate against people based on politics. Not California however. Could be a very effective way to keep “that kind” out on both sides.
Same here. My first "startup" was dropshipping textbooks to fellow college students when I was a freshman 14 years ago. Learned a ton at a series B "startup" straight out of college in customer support and within 7 months, was fired. Spent 5 years as a founder at remarkhq where we couldn't figure out the business model to get paid while frame.io raised a massive amount of money to copy us and eventually led them to $1B acquisition with Adobe. Then went and joined a friend's stock market for real estate startup dynasty.com that pivoted and was subsequently acquired for $75M. Realized at said real estate startup that there was a massive industry wide problem that property managers suck so just started solo consulting to finally make real money for myself and future family I was told by my wife. I was 28 when I started my current startup (apmhelp.com) and never thought it would actually be something beyond a consulting business. Here I am 5 years later $5M ARR having just closed a $50M facility. It's still not all roses however as this year has been a rollercoaster. Literally today we layoff another 10% so that we can live to see another year. Startups are fucking hard and it takes everything to go at it again and again but I don't work a single day of my life. I wouldn't swap it for anything (long term). Best of luck! Don't give up either!!
A simple warning when a library adds a binary blob should be enough. You don't need to ban them entirely.
Just do something for yourself, something that feels right and useful.
They have to cover those S3 egress fees somehow, amirite?

In all honesty, Audible is a practical monopoly, so it can get away with monopolistic behavior.
F-Droid is infamously known for taking weeks to build a new version of any app.
Sorry was unaware of the parent site, have updated my link.
Or it may be that the only asset of the company left is a brand and giving out the domain to the world would might make that brand unsellable in the future.

Field 6 "sharedfromaid": "aid of the sharer's Site/Secure Note" is unencrypted. The hackers will be able to infer relationships between Lastpass users.

Field 10: "genpw": "Is an auto-saved generated password". Good for deciding whether to brute force or not.

Yikes. I can't imagine why anyone would trust Lastpass after this.
Freelancing and I had a co-founder (also technical) all along with whom I worked very closely in terms of survival. E.g. sometimes he was freelancing for the both of us while I was networking, researching, and evaluating opportunities.

Having a co-founder that is complementary to your personality and skill-set is highly valuable. We've been working together for 10 years now.
Wouldn’t every other grocery chain in the area be incentivized to let you in?

(If your answer is “yes but many areas have just one store”, then maybe the real problem is uncompetitive markets?)
As someone else living with mental illness and :gave up" in 1999, I hear you. You did not give up, you were not defeated, you had a realization of your true nature.

I hate the internet and all that comes with it, it has commoditized everything and turned everyone into a self promotor, an advertiser of the self. It's all a pyramid scheme, and the moment more people like us drop out the more quickly the pyramid collapses.
> Especially in IT

Especially in what?
In my opinion, thinking about success and failure is already the wrong path. I would say do things you find intrinsically worthwhile instead. For example, right now I'm developing an online course because I think it's fun to do. If no one signs up, then I'll do something else. If I do get students, I'll do something else anyway...in fact, I never even think about the word "failure". It's just something to do that enriches your life and move on from.
the government is not involved here so there is no free speech issue.

if someone bans me from MSG or twitter free speech has nothing to do with it.
Sounds like an argument for making CEO a part time position. If Musk can be CEO of 3 companies at once and still tweet 24/7, the role of CEO seems pretty light.

Like, if my day-to-day duties are so light that I can take a similar full time job at 2 other companies, and everyone gets on fine while I’m gone doing those other jobs, maybe that’s an indication I’m not really doing anything important in the first place.
For a government website it's important that all the citizens can understand it, so it makes sense to use simpler vocabulary. Remember that ~50% of the population has IQ less than 100.
I don't have the book at hand. Do you have a more precise quote?
I started my first couple of companies in Norway, and it certainly makes a difference to the feeling of risk to live in a place where the risk of failing just didn't enter my mind at all.

In fact, I'd almost certainly have gotten more a month in welfare support if I'd been unable to find a new job if we'd closed my first company down than what we paid ourselves.
It was more of a philosophical than a political support of free speech, minted by the same forces of the early internet (in a time of true single-channel mainstream media) that a lot of us older hackers experienced.

It‘s just that over time I realized that in such a situation not the most accurate and consistent voice would win, just the most obnoxious, manipulating and brazenly lying.

There seems to be a tipping point lurking behind „pretty free speech“.

Counter-intuitively, I‘ve seen deeper, way more meaningful, effective and vulnerable conversation happening in places with very high amounts of moderation (EO Gestalt language protocol, Chatham House rules).

Count me in as a fan of well done moderation these days.
Realization: A web without brackets is the better web – folding all brackets
Browser extension to collapse all brackets on any website. Everything becomes so clean and readable. Beautiful.
good point. although i have seen this type of action in business before.
I 100% agree. I've been hacking away at my project for about 5 years, and it went absolutely nowhere until I found my co-founder. In a span of 4 months, she quadrupled the eyes on our product in comparison to what I was able to before our meeting.

Sales & Marketing is just as complex as the tech stack. Yes, we techs can learn that side of the fence, but it takes a bit of humility to recognize that it'll come at a cost.
You’d hate the Tangerine (bank) website. Each letter typed does a round-trip to the server, and each text box gets progressively slower the more put in it.

(Not just trauma-dumping. Saying this here to say there might be a common tech problem that we can expose)
I'm not sure defeat needs to be "expected" anymore...

I have friends with a string of successes under their belts. My own track record is ~half the companies I advise get from garage to series A, and I've had three IPOs and numerous acquisitions.

My rules of thumb:

- do something with big impact. "Make no little plans. They have no magic to stir men's blood and probably will not themselves be realized." - Daniel Burnham: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Burnham

- answer this question honestly: "why now?" i.e. why couldn't this have been done last year or last decade.

- answer this question honestly: "why me?" i.e. am I really the best person in the world to do this?

- check that your competitive position or margins are strong enough you won't have a zillion competitors causing margins to compress. For example, 15 minute food delivery is tough. For example, don't launch a CPG product on Amazon without a strategy to deal with knockoffs!

- check that your regulatory position isn't so crazy that you'll get shutdown before demonstrating outrageous value.

- create an elevator pitch of one or two sentences and see if a majority of legit prospective buyers get excited.

hope this helps!
No, my own company, started last year in April during a Hackathon and then got a first seed round started in July, closed in October. Currently even able to do a massive Series A, despite market conditions. From the 40 people, >50% are developers.
Correct.

Jargon === Signaling

Signaling === Status

Status === Power

Like it or not, it's what humans are wired to do.

That said, the wise do both. For example, use the acronym, but the spell it out as well. Well, you think about those who leverage signaling the most effectively, they tend to be more inclusive in their arc.
You didn't use it, you mentioned it.

That would remove a lot of the benefits of using Java, might as well use something like c. Garbage collection has been highly optimized in the jvm, and most would consider it a benefit of a jvm compared to managing memory yourself.
Happy Holidays! What is Bell's username?
They're high trust societies in general, partially because they're small monocultures. As Robert Putnam's research shows, in multicultural societies, especially large ones, trust rapidly declines, surprisingly even within cultural groups. Trust in government falls even more rapidly as each group starts to perceive those in power as being more favorable to one group or another, even if those in power are from their own cultural group.
The corporate world is littered with them (esp. at medium-scale), but you can't magically discover them by reading on the internet.
Yeah, it’s becoming more and more obvious that keeping a vehicle SOMEWHERE that doesn’t connect to the internet is going to be important in the future - even if it’s just a bike or motorcycle or M32A2.
If this is indeed the case, shouldn't there be an influx of skilled professional and entrepreneur immigrants into all of these nordic welfare states?

Something doesn't quite add up, as there's appears to be a constant shortage of such talent.
My spouse sells gift certificates for her business.

It's a small volume.

Whenever someone pays for a certificate on stripe, she receives the mail and she sends the certificate to the customer's email that initiated the transaction on Stripe.

The certificate is a simple word file with a certificate number she increases manually before printing it to pdf.

You could write an api that's called by stripe whenever a transaction occurs, validates the transaction with stripe, prepares the pdf and sends it to the customer.
I'd very much recommend also using DaisyUI, it gives a lot of sensible defaults for buttons and such that Tailwind forces you to make decisions on.

As for OP's question, just play with it! Futz with different classes and see what happens! A structured approach I don't think will work terribly well.
Take care of yourself.

Letting go and giving up is okay. Sometimes even the best/only option. I failed to recognize that for too long in 2019 and ended up victim of the sunk cost fallacy: https://www.dsebastien.net/2021-01-04-20-months-in-2k-hours-...

Now I prioritize my time, happiness and well-being way above MRR, success and whatever else ego related.
Fair. I updated my comment to be more specific and exclude people who are part of protected classes.
> Malware that is more stealth-conscious would just stop running without any indication, instead of interacting with external processes.

I always wondered if we could just use this against the malware. E.g. just run a useless process which is named/looks like a debugger and the malware stops itself. Of course that's nothing to be relied on on its own but maybe as an additional layer of defense?
Having 1000's of Mails in TB (maildir or mailbox) in at least 5 accounts, then right click on a big folder and click "repair", when it starts to login (before synchronization of header starts) remove the Ethernet cable (no other connection shall be active) click around in TB in a frenzy manner (go "offline", try to repair again, open menus etc), and see your TB freeze then your X11 session, sometimes if your lucky the system crashes (works best with intel GPU's..the crash i mean).

The slower your imap the faster the freeze, Gmail works best.
Primarily Democratic backed company that doesn't like Republicans and don't want to provide them service? Boom excluded - "We reserve the right to refuse you service!". And honestly with as much data that has been collected they could legally do it on a data point that's not tied to your politics(ie misdemeanors, felonies, court cases, etc). It's absolutely going to be discriminatory, and they can hide it in the algorithms. And, not to pick on Democrats this is possible for any group, or individual to clearly point at any other group/individual. This is just the start, but it might be the actual end of individual expression without repercussions.
I have a sneaking suspicion that Salesforce is pushing 2FA so hard to sell more seats. And $6k/yr/pop it’s gotta be tempting to share a password …
I enjoy the comments obviously using jargon without knowing it like “drop me a email”
Tim Clare is a novelist and also writes about writing. He also happens to be very funny. I recommend his podcast Death of 1000 Cuts where he gives writing advice and sometimes reads and critiques the first 250 words of contributors' novels.
https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/death-of-1000-cuts/id1...

Edit: One of the things he does really well is explaining the nuts and bolts "rules" of writing, like the Primacy/recency effect, the importance of what he calls "crunchy specificity", and lots of other stuff that will stay with you and help you make stylistic decisions in many different contexts.
>For example, you wrote "The advice [...] seems somewhat pointless to me." Well, are you saying that it is pointless, or not?

I am stating something controversial and leaving open the possibility that I might be wrong or partially wrong.

What you are inadvertently arguing here is that humility is unnecessary.
I love simple short retorts to long confused pseudo intellectual nonsense. It makes me feel like I'm reading a Confuscian parable
Probably. But python missed their chance to nix it with the 2->3 transition.

My favorite case was when a newbie coder used eval() to evaluate something that looked json-ish, which, came from an api request.
Do Audible published audiobooks end up in public libraries? I'm assuming the exclusivity implies never leaving their platform but I'm not knowledgable enough about this space
Well thats A-OK because the good guys are in charge here! We love our corporations and when they work with government agencies we love them even more. You’d have to be some kind of nazi to have a problem with that.
I finally start to see a clear story in the evolution of cell types to complex life. Are there valuable adversary/competing hypothesis?
I suppose you are being ironic because that sounds quite close to...
“Sometimes the rich kid was abused by his dad and it ate him up inside and he turned to drugs and died of an overdose at 25 years old.
Sometimes the middle class kid came from a father that survived as a child in WW2 with undiagnosed metal scars to prove it.
Sometimes the poor kid learns plumbing from his dad then starts and scales a business up to millions in sales.“

That is adorable, and plumbers aren’t poor.
Look at the main Christian denominations associated with extremism, then look at where their main strength is. You’ll find a correlation to the US south.

As an example, look at the Global Methodist Church, which is liberating bigoted congregations from the United Methodist church. So far, it’s main (but not exclusive!) strength is in the south.
It's also 2.7 cm thick...
> Try hiring a hundred software engineers in Norway: your hourly cost would probably blow up.

Depends what you’re comparing to. Total comp for great engineers in Oslo is lower than for their peers in Silicon Valley.
The topic of "what should we do about our password policies" sometimes comes up with our customers as well. Pointing to NIST and if pressed giving my opinions on good passwords and the use of 2FA (which is largely paraphrasing NIST recommendations anyway) made every customer happy so far :)

"and don't let the failures define you. There's always a chance for success, no matter how small it may seem."

These small successes is what one needs, to propel them back into the entrepreneurship journey. I don't know about these influencers and not sure what they sell. You just have to get lucky. I have been through so many startup failures that I have stopped counting, but I attribute my failures to my own laziness and not being in the right market.

So back to successes, what I found super helpful is a micro dosing of success like winning a point in a game of tennis, or getting 10 consecutive shots above the net , something like this, totally unrelated to the world of startups can bring in tremendous confidence and morale boost. Why I say tennis is because getting some of these shots right consistently involves some luck in the beginning. While you may not get all the 10 shots correct, that one lucky shot can bring in a high dose of morale boost. It could be shooting balls as well. I personally find that small successful acts like this, which involve your skill and some luck really help in overcoming failures, failures like what you state, which are truly a result of not just your effort but a lot of outside factors/luck.

EDIT - Changed you to one. I didn't imply this message directly to OP, was more of a generic reply.
Rather, "trusting" a system which makes it so that you do not need to trust any government.

Having many large political parties and a trend of (almost) always having minority governments also help limit possible damage.
Oh yeah the salaryman life sounds fantastic /s
Currently there is no official support for GC in WASM. So currently any compilation of GC'd language into WASM must provide it's own GC which will be part of the WASM binary.
SV is an outlier in both income and housing costs.

Here in DC metro, a mid-career developer should be able to afford a home without much trouble. Many of the best jobs are well outside the city (Tysons to Ashburn corridor) where housing costs aren’t terrible.
Sorry to hear that.

Like others mentioned - the chances to succeed are very slim.

I think 2 things are the root cause of failure for most businesses:
- Running out of money
- Running out of energy (founder burnout)

Things like not finding product market fit etc. can all be categorized into these 2 points of failure.

I find that helpful to take a step back when I'm feeling stressed and remember that worrying too much will just cause me to burn out, which is a bigger risk to the burnout than e.g. not fixing some bug or answering some email immediately.
The 50 or so Sony devices supported by PostmarketOS are only there because of that, but maybe that doesn't count for some reason.

If someone voted they are pursuing some kind of government agenda. In the absence of real evidence it's hard to take any of this seriously.
Yes, various states add more protected classes. Height and weight are protected classes in Michigan. I do wonder just how enforceable some of these are; if a bar in California bans somebody for wearing a nazi armband, I have a hard time imagining them losing a lawsuit about it.

Regardless, I don't think there's any state in which affiliation with an employer is a protected class. You can't compare this to race or sex, which are protected classes on the federal level, in every state.
Hey, way to try to profit of another persons failure. Really sociopathic of you!
I think the fine should have been $15B. Their market cap is $310B dollars, and that would equate to $5 per user.
>victimhood mentality

Does this kind of pseudo-self-help-tough-love help anyone? Whenever I read something like that I do not feel motivated but enraged. Sometimes people are really victims. Mainly of chance.
Good luck searching anything about 1c database (maybe the best accounting software I have ever used). And this is only the top of my head, Russian culture used to be huge. A lot of country-specific knowledge get blocked and I very disappreciate that people who use to think that there is anything better than a free access to any information.
It’s also the government’s job to educate its citizens (or in this case subjects).

Has the UK government thrown in the towel wrt education, and now just goes for bare minimum?

What’s next, stopping the teaching of grammar in schools? :)
Likewise the hex of a 128bit key is unbreakable but will fail almost every password policy becuse of repeated characters and lack of upper case/special characters.

Though for accentuated characters, I can think of some scenarios where it is not a good idea. Say your users may have to travel / use some terminals. If the keyboard doesn't have those characters, you locked them out of the system. That's why I think non ascii characters aren't a good idea. Also you make yourself more exposed to developers doing something silly like mixing string encoding between different interfaces.
My experience has been that you can “load” the Queens a bit higher even if the space is a bit smaller. Then again I went with a top loaded to get the ability to soak without using the sink. Maybe someday I’ll go like a friend and have both front and top. :)
What's the population of Europe again?
I would enjoy a YT clip wth these!
Or replace brackets with commas (nobody would usually notice the difference.) I started doing it in my own writing (or I just drop the text inside the brackets.)
But isn't that how most words are formed anyway? Sure, focus comes from optics, but concentrate is also an analogy (to bring something to a center).

What is the line between analogies and etymology?

Not really arguing with the specific choice, but considering words formed by analysis as harder to understand is a concept I've never seen before.
The failure of various alternative economic systems seem to have been universally caused by malice.

Either foreign powers trying to keep dominos from falling or internal forces leveraging control to create dictatorships.

I don’t think collective economics has a chance until we’re generally more evolved as a species.

Though, if we do enter an age of abundance, it will likely be the default as the illusion of scarce resources dissolves.
The only person I saw suspended during that insane period was PG. Hundreds of people in my TL were saying "FU heres my mastodon ban me if you want Elon" and didn't see any repercussions whatsoever.
This has been happening since 2004, at least, in malls and big box stores. See "No Place to Hide" by by Robert O'Harrow.
I'm reminded of that line in Silicon Valley where someone sarcastically says "oh, is it hard to build a billion dollar company?"

Of course it's hard, and the entitlement here of "with an audience of 20 people, nobody signed up for my substack!" is astounding. The world isn't against you, the world just doesn't care about you. That's an extremely important distinction.
