I'm sure a lot of hype-centric start-ups intentionally try to surf buzzwords.

Theranos mostly got in trouble because it made medical claims, which are more heavily regulated. If I sold a "microservice distributed edge-cloud webscale AI-self-tuned database" and created a working product, ignoring quality and practically, there's very little legal options for investors, unless they can find written evidence of an intentional devious plan. "The concept didn't fly well" by itself is not going to get your money back in court.

Thus, pyramidness can be hidden via buzzwords if you go through the typical motions of making a real product.

There are cases where lying to investors can make a lawsuit successful, such as using "hidden" humans to fake AI results if you claim an AI product. But that's old-fashioned business fibs.

Oracle allegedly pulled a borderline scam of getting their database to "run" on different OS's but never bothering to fix many known glitches on that platform. That allowed them to claim they "ran" on a wider variety of OS's than competitors, when in fact "run" was in name only from a practical perspective. Actually older versions often worked on more OS's, having been tuned over time, but so did competitors'. Oracle implied the latest version ran (practically) on all the listed OS's.
I’ve used several pathways and got great results. Created several product prototypes of an ML model to see if there was a customer base and business opportunity for it. Ended up with a dozen potential license deals some with multinationals and a pilot expansion to over 100 locations.

Here’s what we explored:

Expert Network Companies - They connect you to the right people for a cost per call, $250-$1000 depending on their level.

I found my own expert (versus going through an expert network company). I paid her $350/hour. Well worth it as she built her network over 30 years and gave me hot introductions (she booked the meetings and was on the call) to first customers.

Leapmotiv - a customer discovery company. They’re great at booking cold leads and conducting high quality interviews. You have to be really clear on your goal. I recommend using them after you’ve done a few calls yourself so you have them working on deeper inquiry. Some of these interviews led to customer conversations.

DIY - LinkedIn

If you want to do it yourself I recommend approaching it like going to a new country. You need to know the lay of the land and be able to speak a bit of the language.

Read your target’s LinkedIn bio and job descriptions to see what matters to them. You’ll start to notice their lingo. Go for volume of calls and try speaking their language. They’ll feel more understood and thus more willing to give referrals for more people to speak with.

For example, I started a new co-founder for hire gig a month ago in a new space, health literacy. I kept seeing in the LinkedIn bios the challenge of getting patients to take responsibility for their own care. They use lingo like “health outcomes.” When I’m on calls, I get nods when I mention wanting to facilitate patient responsibility in their own care to improve health outcomes.

DIY - Online communities

This was where I found non-obvious use cases. Maybe there are forums you can join.

Still, we, the Rust community, should take the high road and respond to the criticism by assuming that it's valid and asking what we can do better. I, for one, don't want developers to reject my Rust-based library because of the community's reputation, especially once my library has a C API.

You are correct and Euro comes with restrictions on creating currency for macroeconomic reasons. This was in the limelight during the 2008-2012 Greek debt crisis, and also came up around that time for other EU countries (Spain and Portugal at least). Additionally, Iceland, which does not use the Euro, had at one time pegged their króna to the Euro which caused issues in the 2008-2012 time period (though as I recall the main problem had to do with some other nation taking a major Icelandic bank into receivership post-2007 collapse).

One of the best ways to rob someone of their non-2FA account, is to find their password, and then activate 2FA on an attacker's device. 2FA makes your credentials more secure, specially when you use standards so it can be integrated with third-party apps, like authenticators or password managers.

For the reasons others have mentioned, plus BCD doesnt suffer data type issues in the same way unless the output data type is wrong, but then the coder has more problems than they realise.

The only real disadvantage for BCD is its not as quick as Floating point arithmetic, or bit swapping data types, but with todays faster processors, for most people I'd say the slower speed of BCD is a non issue.

Throw in other hardware issues, like bit swapping in non ECC memory and the chances of error's accumulate if not using BCD.

> that causes inflation which quickly erodes the value of the payment

Pension payments cover basic subsistence-level costs for goods that can be mitigated by supply-side production and productivity increases. Claiming that they cause inflation is just rebranded austerity politics. Inflation is caused by fraudulent debt-relief for "businesses" like we saw with PPP and low interest rates that create asset price and shitcoin bubbles.

Right, the thing about root causes is that you can always keep digging. For instance why was an incomplete snapshot shared? And then the why for that why, and on and on until you reach the singularity at the beginning of the universe, which can logically be the only real root cause of anything. Root cause just means whatever is enough to make your boss satisfied.

For emphasis, the reason that many games recently are switching from the loot box model to the non-loot-box model (such as Overwatch 2), even at the point of putting microtransactions at super high prices, is several countries such as Belgium have banned loot boxes and there could be pressure to ban them elsewhere.
I have a theory! Totally unevidenced, but maybe you'll find it useful.

A narcissist has two important parts. One is a desperate hunger for status. The other is a grandiose false self that they see as sufficient to justify their importance. Narcissists put amazing time and energy into constructing and performing the false self. If you've ever met one in person, they can be amazingly compelling.

But what if somebody has the same deep emotional hunger but lacks the ability to construct the false self? One path is developing a realistic sense of self and balanced emotions. But what if they don't?

My theory is that they are prone to attaching their identity to an existing narcissist. They become fans, even superfans. They adopt their opinions. They buy their products. They identify with the narcissist's public false self.

So I think Elon's stans are the ones who, if they were big boy narcissists, would have a false self like "Elon the billionaire playboy technoking". They see themselves as brilliant first-principles thinkers who can sweep into a room and by the sheer power of their genius make vast improvements over whatever the petty mortals previously present were doing.

There but for the grace of god go I, honestly.

Well, this is a point reasonable people can disagree on. I think intent matters. Exaggeration for comedic or parody effect isn't puffery because the intent is not actually to deceive.

Actual puffery comes about because there was a legitimate intent to deceive. As your (accurate) description of the law even implies: it's a defense for advertisers when they are caught being deceptive.

This isn't even new for Nintendo. They get a large portion of the revenue from Pokémon Go (somewhere around 20%). The profit from that alone for Nintendo is probably north of $1 billion.

Much of that revenue likely comes from players buying egg incubators and raid passes, which both are essentially pay-to-win gambling. And just like Mario Kart Tour, there are hard caps on how much can be done per day without paying.
This is an interesting use case that is worth mentioning. This feature would make MacBook unusable for me unless I use a Bluetooth headset.

I feel like the fact that this plant coming online will raise the rates for Georgia electricity is basically the death-knell of nuclear power, at least in it's current form of large central power plants[1].

By comparison, solar and wind seem like classic "worse is better." They don't run all the time, but they're cheap and relatively simple, if you screw up a unit then you get no power from that one unit, but the nature of the tech means each individual unit isn't very important, and failure means no power and maybe an eyesore, no catastrophic pollution.

One further consideration is the decentralized nature of renewables. As the war in Ukraine is showing us, for any country dependent on a small number of central power plants, those become extremely vulnerable weak points if your country is invaded, whereas a decentralized network of renewables is hardier and can degrade rather than hard fail.

I know the HN crowd loves big engineering, and that in theory all these problems could be solved with enough investment and practice building plants etc., but I think in the messy world of reality micro generation is going to swamp everything else in the very long run.

1: Perhaps the small modular nuclear reactors idea can eventually be proven out.
This went a different direction than I'd expected. That is, configuring your cluster resources rather than the host machines themselves.

I managed to grab 5 or so Raspberry Pi 4s before the availability issues. I've been (slowly) getting a home Kubernetes cluster running over the last year or two, and Ansible helps immensely; I:

* Write Ubuntu 20.04 (or now 22.04) to MicroSD card.

* Configure the initial user + SSH-PK, hostname, and network via config added to the SD

* Boot up the new Pi

* Run Ansible playbook to get it ready for k3s (lightweight but "full" k8s); including bind-mounting all high use paths for containerd/logs/etc to a USB NVME-SSD, adding boot args to the Pi's GRUB, etc.

* Push all my bashrc/tmux/vim/etc configs for consistent environment if I ssh in.

* Use Ansible ad-hoc for misc changes or package updates.

In terms of the "deploying to Kubernetes", I've recently got FluxCD working and love it. I think "GitOps" is the way to go in terms of clear reproducible config.

I have GitLab running on a local Synology (NAS) which kicks off any container builds and hosts the Git and container registry. The FluxCD operator on the cluster polls my "cluster as code" repo and syncs state. Each project defines a Helm chart and Flux pulls the chart from each repo and applies any variables (as configured in the "cluster repo") or "kustomizations".

Flux let's you setup "dependency" relationships for components. So I have it add the sealed-secrets operator early in, and put PK-encrypted secrets in directly the Git repo for it to"unpack" in the cluster.

That being said, the author's Anisble-driven approach is a much quicker way get something on a cluster ASAP, versus setting up the initial Flux "pull from cluster" system.

I'm primarily a software engineer, so this was also largely an exercise in getting more comfortable with the operations side of things.

Just thought I'd share my experience since only so many people let me rant about my FluxCD/k3s/GitLab home dev environment.

Certainly I don’t think `parseNonEmpty` would be especially useful in a real program, it’s only there as an example to provide a particularly simple contrasting example against `validateNonEmpty`. The example earlier in the blog post using the `nonEmpty` function (which returns an optional result) is a more realistic example of how such things are actually used in practice, since that allows you to raise a domain-appropriate error message.

Tangentially, in Haskell specifically, I have actually written a library specifically designed for checking the structure of input data and raising useful error messages, which is somewhat ironically named `monad-validate` (https://hackage.haskell.org/package/monad-validate). But it has that name because similar types have historically been named `Validation` within the Haskell community; using the library properly involves doing “parsing” in the way this blog post advocates.
In my early 20's I made it a point to stop drinking and eating garbage like Starbucks frappucinos. After a period of 3 years I found myself in a place that only sold the pre-made frappuchinos and some other drinks, but no water or water-like drinks. So I bought one. And in the intervening years it had become disgustingly sweet. Like so sweet that I almost threw up and had to throw away half the bottle. So yes, avoiding sugar will change your tastebuds.

Look at the business model. In a pyramid scheme, the primary business model is recruiting other people into the scheme, rather than selling actual goods or services. They ostensibly sell goods or services, but to join, you typically have to pay money to buy products from someone else at the company. You hope to sell at a profit, but the only real way to recoup your 'investment' is to recruit someone else into the scheme.

That said, startups can be full of toxic hierarchies, exploitation, unequal distribution of benefits, and similar qualities, but that's been true for centuries of capitalism.

Like you said, if the employees filed an 83b, they would be in the clear. However, the article’s talking about some of Stripe’s earliest employees, who might not have elected to file an 83b because the company was still unestablished and risky, and filing the 83b meant potentially paying taxes on shares that might ultimately be worthless.

And since these are the company’s early employees, I imagine that Stripe is doing this to try and ensure they retain them.
