"but it's natural to question what exactly about that moat qualifies a billion dollar valuation, and the answer is extremely little."

I am no shill for Calendly but a happy user and as far as I know, they are doing 100M in ARR. It is a lot more than "I can code this app in a weekend". Whether this justifies a billion dollar valuation is a separate discussion but for sure it is not that easy to do what Calendly is doing.

Easy is not same as simple btw.
Yea I'm not satisfied with the response quality of that one either. I added it because I like Moore's writing and thought it would be a fun addition. But, the book is so short that there's not enough source material to draw on sometimes. So it starts to hallucinate answers.

"Won't" or "functionally can't?"

What percentage of smart appliances require at least one other device to do the connection (be it a smartphone or desktop PC)?

The industry has vastly overestimated the median user's technical competency if they require such interconnects.
This. And god forbid you suggest on HN that it's OK if Google and other tech megacaps are actually run for the collective benefit of their stockholders, which besides current and former employees, includes practically every American with a retirement account, including those not fortunate enough to win the FAANG lottery. Expect downvotes and flags, presumably from those who seriously believe Google should just keep paying people $300k a year indefinitely, despite perceived underperformance.
Can confirm PP is total garbage. Can not get in touch with anyone. My "horror story" is the opposite of yours.

I make a transaction. Item arrives. Money presumably arrives for vendor. Everybody is happy.

Then, out of nowhere, PayPal opens a complaint on my behalf. The vendor is confused, why did I complain? I didn't, but there's no way to enter that into the automated complaint form. I could not reach a real person, and in the end the vendor got a ding and I got money back that I didn't want for a product I had received successfully and that I was happy with. No way to cancel this kafkaesque nonsense in any way.

I never used PayPal again.
For Google Drive I can deeply recommend paying once for https://www.insynchq.com/ using it myself for years and have not touched the official client for years (and I'm on macOS).
There is no good syntax to specify what part of an arbitrary image should be highlighted.

Definitely do not try this at home without a Chemistry degree. Why? It's easy to accidentaly produce phosgene (WWI chemical weapon, smells like freshly cut grass) by combining chloroform fumes and oxygen under UV light or chlorine with carbon monoxide from a gas burner (yellow flame).
There's a massive difference between a completely silent update and the more common "Update available, install now Y/N?"

Apple, MS, etc should do the second. Even with a "do it now, or within 7 days, or we do it for you." Same for the router.

For goods that have safety implications (cars), the updates should NEVER be silent. And probably need a long notification period with a detailed "What's New".
That was my thought upon reading that as well. I think Nintendo pioneered this strategy with the Gameboy - if the cartridge didn't start by showing the Nintendo logo, the Gameboy would not boot. And if you used the Nintendo logo without licensing it, it was trademark infringement.

Clever way to prevent un-licensed third-party cartridges.
Every payment processor that I know of takes a percentage. The structure might vary (e.g. percentage cliffs based on revenue), but it’s never fixed on a monthly basis.

(So yes, they’re incentivized to introduce friction to the tipping flow — it always means more money for them.)
In Slovakia we've already had a deepfake ad of a well-known news anchor.

The ad starts as a news segment where she says that it turns out the covid vaccines don't work and then pivots to awareness campaign about hoaxes and misinformation.

Crucial Conversations is the best book I've read that explains the dynamics at play and I strongly recommend it for that reason. However, their strategies and weird acronyms are pretty poor.
Wait this is pretty sick! What's the full build on that? How do you even get started on finding good cases that aren't just massive racks for a home build?
If you enjoy this sort of thing, I'd encourage you to check out this guy.

That was a tactic Nintendo used with the gameboy. The courts eventually decided that the logo, when used as an access token like that, no longer qualified for the creative component required for copyright protection.
Almost(?) none of the chose to be communist on their own though..

Some big differences:

- Matano has realtime Python + SQL detections as code with advanced correlation support. Chronicle uses inflexible YARA-like detection rules iirc

- Matano supports Sigma detections by automatically transpiling them to the Python detection format

- Matano has an OSS Vendor Agnostic Security Data Lake and can work with multiple clouds / let's you bring your own query engine (Snowflake, Spark, Athena, BigQuery Omni). Chronicle is a proprietary SIEM that uses BigQuery under the hood and cannot be used with other tooling.

There are no limits on data retention or ingestion with Matano, it's your S3 bucket and the compute scales horizontally.
What I meant was: especially in IT employees feel zero loyalty to their employer. On the other side, they expect their employers to be loyal to them. The same is true in reverse, too, companies don't care about their employees but feel betrayed when the employees leave for greener pastures. Everyone plays the same game.

If you want to work in a stable environment where you don't get fired and your promotions and raises are few and far between and planned years in advance, you go and find a job in some bureaucracy. If you want the benefits of fast-moving high-compensation private economy, it feels weird to complain that this also includes quick termination on occasion.
"Not applicable" is the most appropriate response. If that entry is not accepted, it seems reasonable to convert it to an equivalent value in the system they're looking for.
It seems to me they could MITM the SATA link and effectively do the "HDDHackr" method to make that work. I don't know though.
But can you differentiate the dishwasher and washing machine this way? Can you measure the actual wash cycles and settings they used? And more importantly, can the appliance manufacturer sell and profit off of that data? The answers are "maybe", "probably not", and "definitely not", the latter being the most important here.
Fraud for one.
If I print a 7 and you read it as an 8 or change it to what ever you want with that pen. I get charged more and there really isn't I can do about it. Why not just have tipping on the machine you are paying with anyways. The only country that has tipping on paper still is USA that has modern payment services.

And please I make money on the transaction not the fact that you tip on paper.

Also, why do your server have to take my card to go swipe it behind some counter still? Portable devices exist. Use them. I do not want to let you handle my card.

Current situation.
Server comes to your table and I ask for the bill.
Go back to the POS, get the bill.
Come back, I want to pay with card. Either they have a portable machine or they don't. If they don't They take my card then bring it back with a tip slip too.

Now imaging a server comes to your table with a payment device that can handle everything from the above. No more going to POS system to cash out. Need bill split, done, need pay at the table done. Need to calculate change, done for you.

Saves so much time and at the end of shifts you don't have to consolidate receipts. Just make sure cash float is correct and you're done.

As a customer in the US recently. Restaurants and bars still didn't accept tap and pin.
Tap speeds up lines and table turn over so much that you wouldn't understand until you implement it.

The cynic in me says that Thomas is open to the discussion to the extent that it hurts companies that he percieves as his enemies, and will shut it down as soon as it covers companies that he considers on his side.
Congrats on your launch. I think you need way more info on what your solution does . As a none-developer who can code, I'm clueless as what problem you are trying to solve and what the solution looks like. Hope it helps;)

In your example with marbles, the superset has the property of every element being comprised of a set of colors, let's say {black, red, blue}.

The subset is {red}.

Can't every possible property we can conceive of a subset be constructed in a similar fashion such that the superset contains at least the same number of elements and never less?
Funnily enough I'm in the process of reading Blind Man's Bluff in which similar techniques were employed to locate subs that sank.

ADDED: The loss of the Scorpion described in that book reminds me of this as well. While some of the details related to what exact sort of torpedo failure caused the Scorpion sinking is a matter of debate, the betting money is on some sort of torpedo failure rather than a Soviet tit-for-tat or other complicated scenario for which there's no real evidence.
This could mean declining replacement purchases from the same company. When I have to replace an appliance, I frequently try a new brand because my experience with appliances is almost universally bad.

Edit: Amazingly, 15 minutes after posting this, I discovered my Instant Pot is not heating.
I always object to US retail adding Tax to the price of the items. In the UK (and I expect Europe) the price on the shelf is the price that you pay. VAT is included.

In the US, you walk into a store and have to become an expert at understanding local taxes in order to figure out how much anything costs. Hotels often have four of five extra fees tacked on.

I'd like "The price you see is the price you pay" to be the rule.
This will be happening to a lot of series A/B staged companies who raised during the frothy times from 2020-2022 and jumped right into hypergrowth. Their VC's will be telling them they need to get to profit sharpish or start cutting staff.
Good first issues don’t exist
The same happens with my ISP. I just call customer service and tell them I want to cancel. They offer me a significantly better price for a year, I take the new price and after the year it goes up again and I call to cancel again.

In a better society, "smart" features could be used for good. Imagine your car was equipped with numerous sensors that could detect an odd vibration pattern in the engine, notify your mechanic and prevent a 5k repair with a 50 bucks fix.
JS backend eh. What is the world coming to?
Well, sometimes you interact with computer systems and you know how to make something work, but you have no idea why and how that works; meaning your ability to extrapolate from known cases would be limited compared to a true understanding of the principles. In that case I'm always thinking of Searle's Chinese room.
Suppressed subsonic 300 blackout is pretty darn close to the movies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AUDVoGOCxw
To me, the most interesting thing about all of this is that civilian airports don't really have radar. You can disappear from an ATC screen just by turning off a transponder. If they'd had radar we would at least of known which way the plane went. A curious controller could have asked "unidentified object at height X, region Y" who they were and why they were in controlled airspace without a transponder on.

The article even implies the controllers themselves did not know this:

>Initially, no one noticed the sudden disappearance of the airplane. After handing the flight over to Ho Chi Minh control, the Malaysian controller looked away from his screen, and when he looked back, the plane was gone. He assumed that it had flown out of radar range and returned to his duties without a second thought.

But there was no radar range limit. There was only a transponder range limit (or more likely an edge of the screen).

>In Vietnam, controllers expected the plane to contact them, but it did not, and they couldn’t find it on radar either. Controllers in Ho Chi Minh City began trying to raise the plane on radio without success. For 18 minutes, they sent out a series of increasingly desperate calls: would MH370 please respond? Could any planes in the area contact MH370? The only answer was silence.

So even when they were actively looking for it, it was invisible to their "radar". True radar would have told them there was a plane-sized metal object in their airspace even if it refused radio contact and had no transponder...

It turns out you can make an entire plane full of people completely invisible by throwing 1 switch. Who knew?
I want app to run in a browser and have access to Bluetooth LE. Not possible on iOS.
You've created a strawman here.

First, a safety net wouldn't apply to 300 million people, only a small percentage of that who need it when it's necessary. Second, I'm not suggesting it is solely funded by taxing the megarich.

Other nations already offer healthcare. This isn't mathematically infeasible, it's been done elsewhere, and done for years.
> Replacement of nice physical controls with touch screens and touch panels. It's so nice to have tactile feedback when you turn a knob compared to pressing some virtual button.

Not to mention these appliances are often handled with unclean (slimy, dirty, wet etc.) fingers!
> Sure, if you stop smoking around other people ;-)

Maybe english is not your first language, but you did read what I wrote, right? You did read my post saying that I get annoyed at people who go up to lone smokers and then complain?

You know what that means, right? It literally means "I don't smoke around other people!"

I'm afraid I am unable to simplify it any further.
Meta is cited in the complaint [1]. Google and Facebook realized there was a risk they could each cannibalize the others' margins if they both had to compete in a market with many players. They made a deal to avoid that.

The relevant part is around paragraph 187, under the "Google Further Stunts Header Bidding by Working to Bring
Facebook and Amazon into Its Open Bidding Fold" header.

Maybe relevant disclosure: I used to work for a company that was a launch partner of Facebook's Audience Network [2]. In a separate lawsuit in 2020, some state attorneys general claimed that Facebook's internal communications showed that FAN was just a smokescreen to get Facebook leverage to make a deal with Google. Oops, silly us.

Had a chat with a big time VC the other day about a project, told “I’m not sure this is venture fundable”.

Things like this make me think just because I’m not willing to lie and sell the hype that the true sentiment here is “you’re not venture fundable”

Running your own Mastodon server
How does this work? I thought there was some kind of limit in the size of the prompt and the API calls.
Maybe there is some justification for Microsoft's design decision, but two undesirable side effects are that:

1. It angers power users who want their computer to retain their workspace's context, which is often easily lost between reboots.
2. It reduces Windows' usefulness as an OS on which to set up and run long-term processes, especially ones with real-time sensitivity, since Windows may decide to reboot itself at some unpredictable point in the process.
Ignoring the fact that I'm single, I really don't even know what it would take. I don't have any internal motivation to have 1 child let alone two.

Do humans artist routinely fail to connect hands/fingers to the rest of the body? That draw fingers with finger nails on both ends? Hands that have 12 fingers when doing realism? We are not talking about 'not very good at draws the details of a hand' but not able to understand fundamental details of what a hand is.
Dr. Bhabha belonged to a special generation of Indian scientists like C.V. Raman, Raja Ramanna etc who were well respected by their peers in East and West.

It's fascinating to think that larger, more expensive machines find it acceptable to omit replaceable storage.

There is always room for new ideas in filesystems. The question is are those new ideas good enough to pull eyeballs and bits? Even if the ideas are great, between the complexity of filesystems, risk associated with them and deployment of them -- the most likely "successful" new filesystems would be backed by a large player in the OS space.

revision control systems are littered with filesystem projects that have died on the tree.
Regarding the first, I have been considering it but I just have not yet. My use of Mastodon is still somewhat low so I kinda see it as... there is a monthly infrastructure cost associated with running servers but less so for the apps. So the last thing I want to see is a server shut down and to need to scramble.

I have been doing $8 a month right now, it doesn't get me any benefits on the server and it is through Patreon. I have been wondering if that is too much but I can afford it and I know this can be expensive to run.

Search system I am not really sure about how I would feel, I would not want to feel like I need to switch instances. Just like I wouldn't want certain instances to have different media support. Sill not fully sure how I feel about that really.

Edit: Regarding the commercial instance option. I don't really see the point? Since all (most) of the instances are connected there isn't any value in an exclusive club... and tbh I am not really sure the other servers would not just block it.

My server seems to be moderated just fine, I think its better that those that can support while most can use it for free.
Dunno about you, but if I search "SFO to NYC", the entire first page (after the Google Flights "onebox") is relevant results and they're not ads- but they effectively are- they're search results that include prices. scrolling down further I see 'sponsored results' (IIUC those are ads inline with the search results).

Books that operate in a narrative/temporal style are hard to manage, because statements of fact are mutative.

Consider the story:

"Justin is hungry. Justin eats dinner. Justin is not hungry."

You ask the chatbot "Is Justin hungry?". There is a temporal aspect to this question that is hard for simple systems that are just embedding facts into a vector DB (or similar techniques) to reconcile.
Forcing, say, the Google OS (Android/Chromebook) and Browser business to justify its existence independent of the ad-selling business, and YouTube to justify its video-hosting existence independent of the other two would certainly dramatically modify the landscape for all three.

There's an interesting phenomenon where middle IQ people see bright people as rather stupid. They can't see the extra layers of complexity and possibility that bright people can, so they read "Yes but...?" questions as naive and uneducated.
