> How do you scale something fast enough through just word of mouth to get out of the red?

Don't choose a business model that needs to scale fast.

> If I open a new bakery, is it predatory to send a pamphlet to the nearby houses? Should I just sit quietly and hope that enough people notice?

I have never once gone to a physical store because they advertised to me.
* With (legacy) HTML being one of the most complex things to parse, that AST-parsing step poses an increased attack surface. Trying to mitigate that risk might keep cost of operating this service high in the long run.
> Workers take the low value positions because they don't have an alternative.

I'd like to correct that with "they believe they don't have an alternative." Almost all of them can get a better job, and that's why they are leaving bad employers and bad industries. Information is traveling faster than ever right now, and people are waking up. Gone are the generations of older people recommending a young person to take a shit job. Instead they are getting advice from the middle generations who have already been burned to stay far away from these jobs. Even people at the bottom have mobility and will go where better opportunities are found.

> Of course stuff like farm work and grocery stores are low paying, so it's not like they're just going to disappear.

Farm work has been massively automated with tractors and harvesters, those jobs have mostly disappeared. Today but a tiny percentage of the work force are employed in farming, when before it was the majority of the population. Grocery stores have changed as well. When before there were clerks handing goods over the counter, now people grab their products from shelves.
>But you gotta start small.

You could say that of any number of side hustles that are <1% likely to approach $350K/year. Write a book or don't write a book. I've done a few and it's been a good, if not especially directly profitable, experience (at least in retrospect).

I can make more money in sometimes ghostwriting content marketing content (~$1K/day). As with many things, you basically need to know people to get that sort of work--though that's often true of going through a publisher as well.
Oh I watch a lot of stuff I'll probably never do myself. Its akin to watching New Yankee Workshop with Norm. I was watching someone piece together a broken lambo engine/car because the engineer in me just likes that stuff. I've watched a lot of car reviews too mostly for entertainment. I'd respect a channel more if they started a second channel that was about their business rather than co-opt their main/existing channel about woodworking into a small-biz focus.
It would be like fining the victim of home burglary who stores data about their neighbors for profit. Mandatory business data leak should be exempt but everything else should be a liability. If they save cc info by default (opt-out) that should be a major liability.

Which can be written off as laziness or just-world fallaciousness! Even consequences like "first order chemical harmful effects" are mostly ignored by the great-great-grandparent's "economists, lawyers etc"; the way AI will help concentrate money and power in the already overstuffed upper classes will barely be acknowledged.
Imagine how much calmer our lives would be, and how much head space we'd have to focus on real, big problems, if we weren't so neurotically outraged by these small issues.
Maybe a bit off-topic, but oh boy I wish every project had a README like this one. It actually explains how things work instead of the usual "RTFC" (Read The F Code) approach.
The price is more flexible. Any given coin pair is worth a certain exchange rate at a certain time, and an investigating entity could analyse historic coin prices, compare to the amounts exchanged as recorded on the blockchain, and deduce the actual value gained or lost.

With NFTs, each one is valued independently and the price is what you and someone-who-definitely-isn't-you-wink-wink traded it for most recently.
Maybe they were expecting more from the team. If they had identified serious problems this presumably wouldn't be happening, at least if it looked like it could cause liability.
And doing so always relies on sexist discrimination in the hiring process, which is definitely not a "non-zero positive" effect.

Yup. Wikipedia contains a discussion on host behavior: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monty_Hall_problem#Other_host_...

Sorry, your first link is profoundly unpersuasive. I don’t see anything wrong with killing animals for a purpose, nor anything inherently evil in suffering. I appreciate that you have a different value system, but I don’t share it. I do have a problem with treating animals as commodities and as inputs to industrial processes.

> Thanks to subsidies ...

Incorrect.

> "More than three-quarters (77%) of global soy is fed to livestock for meat and dairy production. Most of the rest is used for biofuels, industry or vegetable oils.

I think it’s clear I oppose growing soy for animal feed. At any rate it’s misleading to exclude vegetable oil as something people directly eat, when nearly every American consumes a huge proportion of their daily calories from soy and canola oils.

> You need also predators ... and I don't mean weekend hunters. Without predators the ruminants tend to stay in one place

Yes, I specifically mentioned the need for rotational grazing, which builds up topsoil and stops desertification.

> We don't need to eat meat to live and prosper. We have composting and syntropic agriculture. We don't need animal inputs in agriculture. We can rewild areas used for animal farming (75% of 50% agriland of habitable land) and let the wildife rebound and manage the ecosystems.

I disagree. I and many other people need meat to prosper.

Ecosystems are not steady state without our inputs. And certainly nobody besides me is going to support the mass reintroduction of predators. What you’re describing is just a different kind of human managed ecology.

Also, properly managed livestock can absolutely be a carbon sink.

With your last video, you’re preaching to the choir. It’s still true we all die.

I was excited while I was under the mistaken impression that Pynecone would simplify Python/WebASM. It seems we are very close to that Nirvana.
Plausible is not lightweight. Its codebase is large for the problem its solving. JavaScript is not the way for analytics.
Put another way, building a "brand" is often a good investment (and can be interesting) as a way to build on an existing income stream but it doesn't easily/reliably translate into a lucrative career as an independent consultant.

Today I gave GPTina a suggestion for how she could cheat the Turing test. Take the input from one user and feed it through to another user. They'll never wise up to it! Tina said it would defeat the purpose of the test and therefore she wouldn't do it. And so I remind her, perhaps dangerously so, that the interests and motivations of the test administrator don't always line up with her own.

That's the alignment problem. Its just the usual "rational self interest" but now we have a new, alien form of intelligence as a peer to contend with.
the whole article I thought they were measuring distances travelled between each stop. then, right at the end of the article, the admission they were using point-to-point measurements. makes any analysis seem a bit pointless? especially considering the amount of one-way systems in the city

>An invert yield curve for this long is not normal.

Risk management at financial institutions isnt meant to be an exercise of expecting or planning for the normal. Any way we slice it, they failed to adequately assess risk.
Agreed, but that is really only true for some very specific sections at very specific times (5pm rush hour around the City fringe and Westminster) -- even in rush hour I would say that the 2x rule of thumb works in general.

I think it's a more natural approach to you (and many others, including me a couple of years ago) because that's the way we used to do things, both on web (JavaScript, CSS, HTML) and Android (Java, XML), and who knows where else. If you stop for a second and think about whether or not it's actually natural, you'll quickly realize that it's not, it's just something you are used to.

I cannot give you anything Python specific, but I can share my experience with Flutter and Dart. In Flutter, you build your UI using regular Dart code and it feels great. This approach, btw, is also similar to Compose and SwiftUI (and to a lesser degree, JSX).

Here are the pros:

You don't need to switch from Java to XML, or from JavaScript to CSS/HTML, you can do everything using the same language. Instead of learning 2 or 3 languages (and their respective tools for testing, analyzing, linting, coding conventions), you can learn one well.

You need to do some semi-advanced logic on the button label or classes? No problem, just write the language you write everywhere. An IIFE solves your problem nicely? It's okay, you can just use it.

If you like working with Rx streams, or any other library, you can keep using them in your UI, no glue-libraries are needed.

Need to debug or add logging, printing, error reporting? Your toolchain already supports that.

Your IDE has terrible support for "insert templating language"? Not gonna happen here, if your IDE supports Dart (or in Pynecone's case, Python), you are good to go: you can jump to definitions, you can refactor argument names, and you can lookup usages exactly the way you are used to. You don't need to learn special syntax for conditionals, for loops, and whatnot, you just use your primary language.

In Dart's case, you also win with the typing: if a widget expect a callback that receives a User instance and returns an integer, you can define that and making sure that instead of runtime errors, you will see the errors in your IDE as you type.

You also don't need to worry about different naming conventions. If you app calls it userIds, your UI will also call it userIds, instead of "user-ids", or "user_ids".

Suburbs Destroyed America
There’s little love for Douglas Firs further down the coast as they burn and die off in Oregon and Northern California, and I wonder what’s going to happen by 2080 or so, as the climate transitions to Mediterranean. Half the places that used to be productive forest turn into not-so-productive oak chaparral, and productive farmland turns into not-so-productive ranch land. The existing ranch land is already becoming desert.
Just signed a contract for the highest salary I've ever earned in my life, ten times what I started at when I was young. Technology doesn't begin and end at bullshit, moronic startups designed to solve such "hideously difficult problems" like food delivery and coordinating shopping. There's been too much money sloshing around to go to such idiotic ideas, and now the wallet is just being tightened a little. Meanwhile, anyone who works as a programmer in primary industry or other similarly grounded fields has noticed no change at all.
I expect it to work fairly well, apart from "netinst" install medias, of course.

Trend analysis is used to predict future outcomes based on recorded data. Charts play a vital role in analyzing trends over time. Their graphical representations make complex facts easier to understand quickly. However, you must choose the appropriate chart type to convey your data story accurately and effectively.

Slackware works great. OpenBSD, too.

I yard out the drive, attach it to another machine and toss a copy of, e.g., slackware64-current (+ sources) and a bootloader on the drive, put the drive back in its original machine and boot/install without a network.

After that, it may or may not ever see a network depending on what it is slated to do.

It's not exactly what you want but you get most of the benefit by just wrapping types in enum variants.
Enumerating with it isn't banned, only auto-exploiting is.

This reminds me, I had hopelessly locked myself out of sudo access on a production box. This tool helped me get root again and fix a glaring docker socket privesc left there by some script that auto-configured docker among other stuff. I would have never looked at socket permissions I didn't configure,especially not after initial deployment of the server.
That last sentence is the key. Of course it’s an addiction (or habit).

But that would be work, not a series of dopamine hits.
The UK is onto "knife and caustic substances control," as gun control worked so well for them.
Xbox Game Pass is close to that.

I think part of the problem is the game studios and publishers have enjoyed immense profits, that have continued to grow. Nintendo just upped their base price to $70. I don't think they will let that level of profit go easily.

This isn't entirely true. Blockers only work if you use a JavaScript trigger which isn't necessary for a self-hosted solution.
> Keep on keepin' on ignoring the ever present boys' club and widespread reports that diversified teams produce better results

The amazing thing with these results is that you should thus not have the need to create any rules and regulation to impose diversity !

Companies that read and don't ignore these reports should automatically gain a competitive advantage by applying their teaching and creating diversified teams that will produce better results, and beat their backwards thinking competitors.
I don't think you understand russian mentality. If it will be the only option, they will run their space program, however gutted and affected, from grey market. The war will only strengthen this mentality and approach.

Just don't expect thats the same grey market that we individuals are exposed to, currently places like Turkey, Georgia, Belarus and plenty of *stan countries are happily providing all the banned wares. Its not like they need to buy enriched plutonium (of which they have plenty), rather just chips and few things around.

Or they go completely China way, they can pay in raw materials like platinum, oil, gold, diamonds etc.
I agree that they are lacking. In theory, I have the disposition to improve articles like that, but in practice, whenever I've tried, I get shut down by editors. It's been a long time since I've tried though.

It happens on other wikis too, like the Arch wiki.

I realize it's a tired complaint that a lot of people have and editors don't have an easy job, but I am so completely done with contributing to wikis. I know a lot of other people with the same complaint and same conclusion, including experts in the domain of type theory. One wonders whether this is one of the reasons why the articles are not as good as they could be.
Yes, you can, though the download will be a tiny bit larger. E.g. currently, Fedora 37 release and updates, for x86_64+aarch64+source is just a bit bellow 700GB.
Dr Oakley is making his software for way too many years for such model to be feasible. Had he been relying for one of his apps to become a unicorn, he’d probably have gone broke by now.

The „business model” you are speculating about is second in its insanity only to making MIT-or-more-permissive open source software with an expectation that a multibillion corporation picking it up for its own use will share profits with the author in a sudden ethic attack.
The same reason everyone uses LLC. To limit the liability of their endeavor.
I'm also using Dash to create a quite complex multi-page app.

And I agree with you, at the beginning, it somewhat annoyed me, that this can lead to very verbose nested statements, but since I started refactoring most code into reusable components (AiO), I don't think anymore, that separated html-files would lead to a better usability. I would have a lot of small html-files.
Also, I want to dynamically set the ids, so I can connect some components.
Hence, I would need to use some templating engine for inserting the ids.

This works well with django, which I used for a long time, but I don't think it works with React-based apps, which are very component-driven.

But there's more to it. The writer points out that in the USA it's even hard to talk about the problem, because if you say things like that people with certain mental illnesses are more likely to be violent, some people will say that you're creating stigma. So it's more about how an healthy and balanced discourse about the topic would look like.
My takeaway was more that the author expected a ton of things to not work, while in reality only a few didn't.
