It of course also helps that in 2023, literally all school work, for better or for worse, is done through the cloud. I wrote printers above, and yes, they do have access to the printers, but apart from our 3D Printers, the laser/inkjet printers have seen very little use.

Here the schools use Microsoft, which means assignments are done in Word/Excel, and handed in online either through a school portal, or shared from OneDrive.

I won't get into the privacy details, but we do have some fairly strict laws concerning kids and identity protection (a thing that recently got Google kicked out from the educational sector), so while not ideal it is probably not as bad as it sounds.

Apart from school work, their needs are mostly only local peer to peer networking for games, and/or internet access, and all can be accomplished by simply sticking them on a "less restricted" guest network, while at the same time making reasonably sure they're not wiping out the rest of the households computers :)

The firewall also runs a very small subset of IDS/IPS rules, mostly concerning malware/bot rules, and we use a NextDNS profile per subnet to filter out the worst.

My bad, i used the latin plural form of virus, which is vira. In any case, my network setup should keep most vira, viruses or virii out :)

> the ‘retail media’ gold rush: the realisation that a high-traffic website or app could be ad inventory even if you’re not a media company, that you have very relevant ‘consented’ first party data (at the very least intent if not broader profiles) and probably purchase attribution too, that all of this now has more relative value given the push against cookies and third party data everywhere else - and that advertising margins are a lot higher than retail margins.

I think it's not visitors, but repeat users which makes it possible and so valuable. This is going to be the next phase of Adtech. Uber has a $500M run rate from ads, Walmart has $2.7B (from the same article), and evidently more and more companies will discover, if you can aggregate traffic to some decent level, you can monetize it with first party data. This advantage is only going to increase once we see Android launch their own version of tracking consent, and Chrome gets rid of cookies. A good horizontal play here is to sell targeting, attribution, and profiling services to all these "aggregators of traffic".

Not sure about the revenues per se, but I think Doordash, Expedia, Robinhood, Airbnb could also potentially generate ad revenue at low cost just based how much traffic (and repeat users) they get

It's also a comment from a random internet person who has an axe to grind and no data to back it up. So take it with a grain of salt.

It's amazing how a ten second load time can turn into several minutes when it's software you dislike and you're telling people about it later.

Yes they do. The trick is not throwing out the baby with the bath water. Elon Musk got a lot of criticism for how he handled layoffs at Twitter. But he did provide clarity and then ripped off the band aid. Notice how things have gone quiet around Twitter lately. IMHO, it wasn't nice but what remains is probably a healthier organization and a fairly stable team. A lot of people left in the process and that was always going to need to happen. But what remains seems to keep things going and they can now think about a future and work on that. He could have done it in a more respectful way. But doing it quickly was actually not a bad thing.

Facebook is dragging it out and people are unhappy. Having seen this from the inside, when companies are going through a lengthy process of repeated layoffs, people get nervous and lose trust in management being on top of things (because they obviously aren't). At some point people just start leaving by themselves instead of awaiting the next round. Or worse, they mentally check out and patiently wait for the compensation that comes with their layoff. Either way, they stop being productive team members. This creates a toxic situation that is hard to recover from.

IMHO Facebook should be more decisive and rip off the band aid a bit faster. They have a staffing problem. Too many people that were added that aren't delivering whatever Facebook had in mind. They are spending billions on things that aren't working very well. And throwing more money at the problem has stopped working. It's just costing them more money to do the same things they were doing.

This is because commercial optical disks and recordable optical disks are actually completely different storage mediums.

Commercial optical disks, as in the disks that you got when you bought games and movies and the like, are physically stamped. The data is recorded as physical pits that are stamped onto the disk from a master copy. That disk isn't degrading unless it suffers severe external physical damage.

By contrast, recordable optical disks write their data using inks and dyes that are burned by a recording drive's laser. These inks and dyes can and will degrade over time, eventually leading to data loss.
> “…it's not anything unusual.”

I would argue it’s actually unusual on HN to hear such an origin story for a successful business. Everybody has heard a hundred versions of the VC-funded twenty-something boy genius and also the bootstrapped hustler… But the story where your seed funding comes from government grants in a small European country doesn’t align with that kind of hero founder narratives.

Personally I got started in the software business with a Finnish government loan too, and I’m grateful for it. So I wanted to highlight that this actually happens and leads to products that people want.
I guess it depends how much of the training data involves stabbing people to get your own way…

Odd indeed. As far as I know the Gotek was invented exactly for use by embroidery machines, and the ads are everywhere. I tried entering "embroidery floppy emulator" into Google and an Amazon link for a $38 Gotek came up first (and, as we know, we can get it cheaper than that).

But of course a few lines below there's a "floppyusbemulator.com" page with a $250 "Nalbantov" drive (which are sold for $175 elsewhere, and there are probably other variantes).

There's also the simlocking.

In France, (many/all?) phones bought from the carriers (with a subscription with some time commitment) were (are?) simlocked, meaning that they could only accept SIMs from these carriers. But carriers are also forced by law to let you sim-unlock your phone for free after a few months. So yes, pretty seamless and common indeed. Everybody expects to be able to switch carriers and keep their phones.

Anyone whom has taken a psilocybin containing mushroom will tell you that mushrooms have strange and magical powers ranging from deep insight to madness, so it doesn't seem so far fetched that a mushroom can improve cognition.

Apparently microdosing with psilocybe mushroom has a similar effect according to my psychonaut friends.

FWIW: As a real estate agent, what I observe is something kinda sorta bell curve shaped. At the lower end of the economic spectrum, people are generally buying the max they can afford - because they don't have a choice but to go all in to be able to afford something. The upper middle class, if you will, tend to not buy at the top of their budget because they know they can't afford what they really want and they are worried about becoming house poor. Above that point, I see people not spending to their max only because they can't find the properties they want and/or they are holding back in order to make updates / upgrades. Or said another way - if you can afford $10MM, you are going to be selective in how you spend your money

Anecdotal of course, but jives with conversations I've had with other agents.
Why are eSIMs less convenient for you?

In all of the interactions I've had, eSIM works without issue and right away. Most of the times I've needed a physical SIM card I've had to wait for it to be mailed or plan a trip to a physical store, or the old one is the wrong size and I need a new one or an adapter.
Where? Here you can get the "breakaway into smaller formats" thing but not credit-card sized, the biggest size is Mini SIM.

Lacking a real executive power, international law is basically a conversational framework in which we phrase diplomacy, which ultimately remains a balance of power. Or more simply, power ultimately always trump international law.

Which is to say, the legal position on Taiwan is frankly insignificant compared to the interests of China and the US (not to mention the people of ROC themselves), as either party will end up doing whatever they can get away with. They may cherry pick some international law arguments, or make up something, but it's only a talking point either way.
There was no boolean logic. It was impossible to say "my circle of friends except bob" which means you can't exclude Bob which means you can't use it to give bob a surprise party or harrass bob by exclusion. So, like a lot of powerful concepts sets and groups need boolean operators, or they are tedious and limited and "safe"

If you have good developer providing honest estimates, no data protection concerns and they diligently provide actuals agile tooling like in Jira can provide great results.

> and the roi on new hardware doesn’t justify the means

That was my takeaway as well, considering that a 4 bay synology uses more in electricity than purchasing the same storage in the cloud (up to a certain point, datahoarders need not apply).

On top of that i then need to purchase new hardware every 3-6 years if i want reasonable assurance that my data is still there, and doing the math on a 5 year TCO, i would end up paying around double what i pay now, and still have worse data integrity.

I haven't done the math on where the breakaway point is, but i have around 10TB of cloud storage (including backups), as well as DNS services, static web hosting, mail, and a few other curiosities, and i average €25/month on cloud services.

Comparing that to a 4 bay synology with 4x6TB WD Red drives, you end up with €1276 in hardware costs (current prices here). Over a 5 year period that's €21.2/month for the hardware alone. Assuming the Synology draws 10W, and each WD Red draws an average of 5W, that's 30W of power, totalling around 22 kWh/month, which at €0.6/kWh adds up to an additional €13/month.

So in total around €35/month to self host what i can host in the cloud (including backups!) for €25/month.

I'd say not right this instant, given interest rates. But if you really want to, look for condos out by, like, American Canyon or Vallejo or similarly far out locations. 20% down for a $300k place is $60k. Which, while being a good chunk of change, isn't as far out of reach as the $200k down payment for a million dollar condo in SF.

Before you do the investment property thing though, make sure being a property manager is truely how you want to spend your life. Investing money into financial instruments is a lot less work these days, what with robo advisors platforms (eg wealthfront, betterment) providing easy places to invest from.

All joking a salad, probably all the very common constraints should be addressed, but I'd be stoked on an online component like SimCity 2000 Network edition. I'm not so into the idea of a pure sandbox anymore. They've had one of the longest beta testing cycles ever with that first version though, I'm hopeful.

One thing I was never fully able to explore, was the idea of taking a kind of broken city, and exploring ways to improve it given real constraints. I think a lot of people hate their hometowns, and would love to just start with that somehow.

Fwiw I do know about importing terrain maps and so on, which is cool, but it's still a sandbox. I like the idea of starting like 100 years into a city that's just been broke and struggling, with terrible infrastructure and lott of complaints.
Autonomous highway driving is not easier than urban, if anything for the typical Lidar-based approaches it's much harder due to limited Lidar range and very long stopping distance requirements for trucks, plus the fact that a bigrig can cause huge amounts of damage in any accident.

The various pure-play L4 companies that pivoted to trucking due to its alleged relative ease were simply exploiting layperson investor bias to rake it in (or possibly even had a similar bias due to lack of expertise). It's an open secret that Embark had virtually no chance to go to market, even in a good macro environment.

> There is a difference between "dislike" and "unaffordable."

You hint at something here that I see a lot of in my market... lots of other agents will talk about "inventory" and will push for more construction, but they are using that as a short hand for the real problem. The problem at least in my market is that there are a lot of houses that are obsolete in some way, or quite simply undesirable in a way that has made them obsolete. Unfortunately, I see a lot of new construction that I'd also call undesirable - people will buy them because they don't have anther option, not because the houses actually have desirable amenities. Case in point - an idiot builder is putting in a new development in which all the houses are pointed the wrong direction, IE: they don't have views to the mountains because the developer was stupid. Additionally, the houses are priced $100K above anything else in the community but the build quality is very low. Brilliant, right? Point being - this leaves me as a real estate agent with a bunch of useless crap that buyers don't want.
