I worked in a bootstrapped startup for 10 years.

When I left, my network was very narrow (industry focused).

I did a hard reset and ended up first working at a YC company and then another SV VC backed startup.

When this second startup pivoted they asked if I wanted to stay on or accelerate my vesting. I left because there was something else I wanted to build.

But now being connected to this network, the founders of the company I left opened up 8-10 VC calls.

Nothing changed about me, my capabilities, my skills, my knowledge. But being plugged in to this network definitely has benefits.

The bias is obvious in the tech industry. Lots of companies get funded that aren't true VC scale businesses. I spoke with another YC founder that ended up folding his startup doing an open source product. I asked about his pitch to YC and how he framed his business model and he said he basically didn't have one.

As much as we think tech is a meritocracy, there's a lot of bias, nepotism, and favoritism.
The FBI and CIA are newspaper readers in this analogy.
Best I can do is a flat file message transfer that runs weekly (with 18% success rate) between branch mainframes.
You can't "know" with 100% certainty from a sound, and generally searchers don't give up until they must.
This was quite prescient of you. At first (hours before they confirmed the debris was from the sub), I thought your comment was a stretch, but still plausible- yet impossible to prove. All too often, we dismiss these conspiratorial hypotheses, but now that the WSJ all but confirms your suspicions, I’m scared to find out what other inconvenient truths there are to life
FreeIPA is a compelling differentiator.

I've just started testing the port that recently landed in NixOS.
The US has quite a few shops scattered around the world at all times. The 22nd, 24th, and 26th Marine Expeditionary Units patrol the Atlantic and Mediterranean.
Call me a pessimist, but I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming years Social Security age is increased while life expectancy declines.
A lot of people, especially younger ones fresh out of college, automatically believe in the "mission" and culture of their employer. They focus on what their employer does well in and has positive impact, and systematically turn a blind eye to where their employer fails.

I suppose it's a matter of experience.
that would be great to actually turn into an investigative documentary in video format. I'd be curious to get a taste of experiencing what you experienced.
... and looks like they're locking many of those changes to the source code behind their own paywall.

While it may technically be legal (ie crafted by lawyers to make sure of it), that still seems like a pretty shitty thing to do.
ugh... I can't remember the name someone posted a game here before web-based, you're in a terminal/folders structure, as an AI trying to escape into the net
IMO, a great number of things are worse than death because dead me can’t suffer while live me can. Death isn’t unpleasant, it’s a bad outcome for me only in that it prevents the pleasure of living well. My death is a concern for those who care for or are dependent on me, but so is my incapacity and suffering.
If they heard an implosion at the time the sub lost contact? No. There would be a search and recovery operation, not search and rescue.

I'd liken it to a space shuttle blowing up, the incident isn't compatible with life.
> He does seem to be far outside the box now.

Very poor taste to say this now.
Apple extracts a massive developer tax in the form of 400% markups on storage and absurd pricing on RAM as well. Sorry.
While I'm sure the details are top secret, I think the existence of the monitoring has be known for quite some time. As I recall, a submarine disappeared much further away than the titanic wreck, much closer to Spain, and the recordings were eventually used to prove it was a collision of submarines or something like that. And rule out that the submarine was attacked by a torpedo.

So I haven't been following this story all that closely, but I would've been somewhat more surprised had there been an implosion or similar it wasn't sitting on a recording somewhere. How quick it is to extract, triangulate, etc are another story.

I don’t like the government being able to do this, but common sense seems to dictate that in cases where the user has freely given out their information and where a private citizen can go buy that information, the government should be able to buy it.
George Bernard Shaw, as the kids say, said a lot of things. He probably meant some of them, too.

You sign similar waivers for all kinds of benign things - including amusement park tickets, concerts, skateboard parks, etc.

What compare the U.S Coast Guard’s actions with that of the Greek Coast Guard? They are two distinct and unrelated organizations.

And from what I’ve read about, the U.S Coast Guard are awesome folks that’ll trip over each other to save anyone if they can..
But to be meaningful, you have to scale that according to the cost of living where you are.
One thing it's being frugal for your personal needs and another one it's firing people because of marketing/fear to shareholders. Specially when the odds of dying are over 90%.
Many of these tracking numbers are actually enumerable if you know what to look for. All of their support staff are vulnerable to reasonable sounding social engineering. Applying the former at scale is easy today, while the second requires more targeted attention.
But won't this just use Google Sign In in the end. This will give the shitty website at least my OpenId data from Google and enables social engineering with my important account?
> The act, which was known as Bill C-18, is designed to force Google and Facebook to share revenues with publishers for news stories that appear on their platforms. By removing news altogether, companies would be exempt from the legislation.

The bill is to make these websites share revenues with the source of the information. Not to stop people from getting news. It's Facebook who has a problem here.
Apple's marketing department telling us they'll be selling a lot if of little help to be honest.
A few weeks ago there was a tragic caving accident at a local school here where a boy drowned when the outdoor adventure group entered the caves even as flood waters were rising from a storm.

I told my 10 year old son that one day his life might depend on being able to recognise danger and not follow the herd. I said that might mean you staying out of the cave even if the teacher and all the other students went in, called you names, etc.

He rightly pointed out that would be almost impossible such is the power of peer pressure. Still I hope if that day comes he remembers it.
For one thing, Wasm gives CFI out of the box, so binaries you run are not vulnerable to RCE. Also, it's portable, so you can run on, e.g. arm servers.
Ah, I think I see the main contention.

Most of the time I hear folks talking about "teaching to the tests" they are upset that they are just getting kids so that they can pass the tests. Indeed, even one of your complaints was that you had to compromise your teaching so that they could score better. My point is that if that is the concern, they are failing even at that. Test scores are going down, such that most of the arguments that they learned the tests, but not life skills, are moot. They aren't even passing the tests.

That is, I didn't mean to claim that they simply started during declining scores. I meant more that the scores are declining now. If the concern is that they are "teaching to the tests", my bigger concern is why are they so bad at that, even?

For timing, the assessments seem to be that they have been declining steadily since 2012. If your claim is that the "teach to the tests peaked in 200x" and that that is why tests are failing, that should have started reversing with kids this year? (I assume the assertion is there would be a 7ish year lag on kindergarten kids getting to age 13, to be reflected in this story. Obviously not a full step function, but I don't have a solid model on that. Love it if you have one.)

To that end, my assertion would be that if they were at least able to pass the tests, that would still be an improvement over where we seem to be. Test scores are falling. Why? It can't be that teachers are just teaching to the tests. Or, rather, if it is, they are doing a bad job at that, even.

I'm assuming the idea is that the kids are passing lower level tests better, but failing later tests? I'll take a quick dive on some of that later, to see if that hypothesis holds up.
"Bankruptcy is literally worse than death" is a new one for me, gotta be honest.

If you really feel that way, there's always the emergency exit.

They are in love. This is what makes it such a tragedy.

Romeo and Juliet are not idiots, they are clearly the most sensible persons in the play. And it is anachronisic to call them teenagers, since the idea of “teenage” as a stage between childhood and adulthood is a 20th century innovation. In the universe of the play, they are adults and of marrying age.

Apparently some teachers try to teach the play as a warning against young love - probably because they are afraid of students emulating the sex and suicide. But if you actually read the play, it is entirely on the side of the young lovers and condemns the parents and society. Radical, even today!
While the physical trauma would have been instantaneous, they might have known it was going to happen. James Cameron just said in an interview[0] that they had a sensor system inside which detects when the hull is starting to fail, and that they probably had warning because they had dropped their weights to ascend.

I think those defects often come about because the rest of the process emphasises schedule over quality. It’s a false economy, but many businesses treat quality as a cost rather than a benefit.

It is again one of the problems with scrum. There is pressure to complete a feature in a given sprint - and a sense of failure if you don’t.
Was there a black box on board? Will an attempt to recover it be made?
That’s the beauty of the current situation. Instead of government it’s private businesses that are building a surveillance machine of unprecedented scale. The Nazis or Stalin would have loved to have such infrastructure.

I have to admit, I'm not sure that I knew these things were called "slip rings"[1]. I've never actually needed one for anything I've built, but I can recall wondering at least a few times in my life, how you would deliver electrical signals across something that needed to rotate. Now I know.

>>clones unless you're running some closed-source commercial software. And such software tends to not be supported by its vendor even on 1:1 compatible RHEL clones.

this is false, there are TONS of commercial software that runs certified by the vendor to run on RHEL supported by the vendor on RHEL, and only supported by the vendor if you run RHEL, that is one of the things that made RedHat into a billion dollar business.

ERP systems, commerical databases (that many here probally have never heard of), and tons of other enterprise software.

Many of these vendors have been adding Ubuntu support since the CentOS changes.
Now? Haven’t we been able to read Mayan for quite a long time?
The Wikipedia article is extremely detailed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OceanGate

Some highlights include:

* Design inspired by the "DeepFlight Challenger" - but DeepFlight said their craft was only rated for one dive, and weakens with each cycle, and could not be used for five dives.

* Hull designed by subcontract manufacturer in 6 weeks - scarcely enough time to do much testing.

* In an early dive the CEO performed solo, lost contact with the surface ship for approximately one hour

* While diving with a journalist, lost contact with the support vessel for 5 hours.

* It was impossible to open the sub from inside (admittedly, this is only relevant if you first manage to ascend to the surface)

* Hull started showing showing signs of cyclic fatigue in January 2020 (they got it repaired)

* Assembly and testing procedures so sloppy they managed to attempt a dive with a thruster installed the wrong way around.

* Employee called for a stronger front window, and nondestructive testing of the hull. Company fired him and sued him.

* CEO on record as saying ship safety laws "needlessly prioritized passenger safety over commercial innovation" and that "At some point, safety just is pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed."

* Couldn't get certified by a ship classification society, claimed that was OK because most marine accidents are operator error not mechanical failure; and the standards didn't give them adequate credit for their corporate culture of safety.

The other thing that indicates it was a deathtrap is the deaths.

With that said, personally I support the right of people to expose themselves to the risk of death in search of adventure. Normal folks can buy motorbikes and quadbikes, millionaires can buy cessnas, why shouldn't billionaires have deadly entertainment options befitting their wealth?
They informed the incident commander. The people who needed to know did, and the public remained in the dark. While it may dishearten some, it was probably the right call.
Flatpak is very relevant on the immutable OS space which is being pushed hard as the future. It is mostly an enterprise (server/vm) thing too.
In this context, he was talking about carbon fibre, not aluminium (though, aluminium would also be a less than ideal material to make a deep-water submersible out of).
why haven't they served ads via the API then? no one is stopping them.

they haven't done so because they have chosen not to. they are still choosing not to.

this is a calculated move by reddit to extract the highest amount of money possible from 3rd party app developers, and the users of these apps are who is going to suffer. reddit waited until API use was counted on by some portion of its users before they pulled this lever. it's predatory.
I believe James Cameron called it being turned into a, "meat cloud."

Absolutely occurred in under 30ms (upper bound). Possibly as quick as 2ms, and in all likelihood well under 10ms.
Would you apply the same logic to tvOS as well ?
People complain about the mods but theyre nothing compared to the admins...

Theres serious issues that far exceed those or the mods, not least of which being that they are even more prone to abuse of power without Any oversight of substance.

If you have a problem with an admin who banned you, your only recourse is to violate the TOS to make an alt to complain in a post in a sub where they will then immediately ban that alt account and remove the post "due to ban evasion"...

Ok, but for posterity’s sake, the Navy has now said that they did in fact hear the implosion:

https://archive.is/pSpem

> The Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications, according to a U.S. defense official. Shortly after its disappearance, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.
Tragic result, just as it were for the Titanic. The parallels between the hubris of what was said about each craft's capabilities, to the outcomes of blindly believing in it, down to even the irony in the names "Titanic" and "Titan" seems sadly poetic. Rest in peace.
If I forced you to pay a dollar for a bag of M&Ms and you forced me to pay a dollar to cut off my foot with a chainsaw, would that be exactly the same thing? Why or why not? Of course, we have both forced each other to do something...

(which is to say I not sure I believe that I have gotten the point of this conversation across to you effectively, which is unfortunate).
I remember the teacher talking up Romeo and Juliet and being fairly unimpressed. But when I read King Lear, I was electrified- that scene with the king ranging around in the field while the fool says smart things is really good IMHO. I saw the Scottish Play put on by my high school theater and it was also great.

Over time I've come to appreciate his fragments: "But soft! what light through yonder window breaks? Tis the east, and Juliet is the sun..."

It came as a big surprise after reading and parsing out whole plays that other kids in my class were just reading some short guide and talking like they understood it.

THe best movie version of the Tempest is Forbidden Planet, which can also just be viewed purely as science fiction.
I am a bit puzzled by your comment.

A 'refugee' has a legal definition because this is a status that is created and governed by international treaties, which is what makes it interesting for migrants because in 'nice' countries like in Europe this means that they are protected from deportation while their claim to refugee status is processed, which can take a very long time. They are provided accomodation during that time.

All other migrants are simply people who migrate for whatever reason people move to other countries, which are mainly family and economic reasons. When people from poor countries want to move to rich countries the main reason is very obviously economic. All those migrants fall into normal national laws of the countries they move to, in general this means that if they enter without visas they face a form of arrest and deportation.

That's it. There is indeed in a clear dichotomy. The rest is purely a political/ideological point of view as to whether people have effectively a right to migrate vs. whether countries have a right to decide who to let in.
Have you ever found yourself humming a jingle from a company whose product you have no interest in, and will never have interest in?

I can recite the entire Burger King “Whopper song” and I will never step foot inside a Burger King for as long as I live. I can hum every major insurance carrier’s jingle and tell you the characters they commonly use in their ads. I’ve been quoted by all of them and have the best deal for me. I can tell you the phone number for the local payday lender and I’ll never take a payday loan. Yet all of these occupy space in my brain through no choice of my own.

To me, the issue is that advertising is, from the consumer perspective, pushed on me rather than sought out. You can see from the asymmetry of that power dynamic that advertising is not to the benefit of the consumer. Even the order in which you phrased your comment, “connecting products to potential consumers”, is exactly right, and reflective of the problem. You phrase it as if the product is a living entity enamored with the idea of being brought home by a loving consumer; the reality is the consumer is the human, and the consumer should be driving the interaction.

In a consumer-centric universe, the consumer could seek out solutions to their problems and find products. Instead, advertising prioritizes the need of products (and the companies who sell them) to be connected to consumers, over the humans who apologists like you attempt to claim the system is benefiting.
huh, interesting. Thanks. I never noticed it before, but at least on desktop I can see the option. It doesn't seem to be on iOS as far as I can tell.
Oh boy, any discussions around the list of things that Europe can metaphorically|literally afford but America can't/won't is going to be a bloodbath.
I can't find numbers, but an awful lot of customers are still on RHEL 7 which was released in 2014. It's old but it's way more up to date than Ubuntu 14.04.

I myself only switched (to CentOS Stream 9) last February for my personal servers.
Thanks for that link, I love the way James Cameron talks about it. He knows what he's talking about. The fact people were warned just points to complete gross negligence. Everyone knew it was a death trap. It's sad.
Yeah. To me, this just seems like IBM feeling like their existing (corporate) sales funnel is big enough that the consequence of this (reducing OSS users based sales funnel) aren't going to meaningfully matter.

Or, at least they won't matter while the current decision makers are still at IBM. It could be a problem for future IBM leaders, who will probably just attempt to buy SuSE or Canonical or something at that point. ;)
I believe you will, yes. You may not be able to jump right in to some of the deep discussions about type categories, I certainly can't, but I still have learned a lot from Haskell and both continue to use Haskell itself and use what it has taught me in other languages to my betterment.
> I wonder whether it'd be possible for RH to optimize it so that choosing RHEL 'd still be the best option for them now that CentOS doesn't provide the same level of stability.

What you may not be aware of, or have forgotten, is the free versions provided by other companies that provide package compatibility and similar support (as in updates and security fixes) that CentOS did.

Oracle Linux, Alma Linux, Rocky Linux, and Amazon Linux. Quite possibly even more.

Red Hat will have a hard time undercutting them just by reducing their pricing, which is why they're using tactics like a free number of subscriptions/licenses for small organisations and developers and trying to cut off access to the source code.
Effective Altruists would point out buying several castles with stolen crypto money is more effective than this search and rescue because the castle vibes improve their work on raising more money and growing the community.

There’s more to it than their atomic weights. Magnesium (24 amu) is ~66% the density of aluminum (27 amu). As I understand it, the crystalline structure of aluminum is more “tightly packed” than that of magnesium.

I thought I laid that sarcasm on really, really thick, but I guess it just looks like normal things people say, to you. is that correct?
I'm really curious about the carbon fibre design, I'm not a material expert but I do dive and for tanks they work because of the internal pressure of tank.

The 'weaving' is supposed to be link connecting your two hands together interlocking fingers, in one direction you will meet a full resistance, but in the opposite direction your fingers will unlock.

I have no idea but seems to me if there is external pressure the weaving would have 'imploded' depending on the design I guess. Really want to know more about this.
