Code compiled to WASM typically also have a stack in the linear memory for storing the program's data structures and values that would need to be dereferenced, thus without any protection.
Only the "local" variables and the operand stack are protected.

"Control-Flow Integrity" can have a general sense, or a specific sense.
In the general sense, it means that function pointers and return addresses are protected — and WASM protects the raw function pointers.

In code compiled to WASM, a function pointer is represented as an integer indexing into a single global list with all functions. The "call_indirect" op checks only that the index is within bounds and that the function type signature of the function you look up matches.

In the specific sense, as in the 2005 paper titled "Control-Flow Integrity: Principles, Implementations, and Applications", it refers to the code also enforcing that a right function pointer is used at each indirect call site. Each site has a list of allowed function pointers. WASM does not do this.

(Sorry for the long post but I just don't want people to get confused and believe that WASM is safer than it is)
My kid was complaining that while some of the cultural touchstones I introduced them to were interesting and enjoyable, I gave them a very unrealistic impression of how often they would find people who understood the references.

I'm hoping that changes when they go to college and meet more alpha nerds. But I became a Monty Python fan, for instance, when it was in its second life, and at the time it felt inevitable that it would have a third. It has aged less well than I thought. The early 70's and early 90's are much closer together philosophically and chronologically than the early 90's and the 20's. Now you're lucky if they have seen the Holy Grail, and nobody gets Parrot Sketch or Lumberjack references. And even switching from Cheese Shop to Wallace And Grommit references is out of date.
Well I may be an exception but I have the complete opposite experience. I book trips last minute, like two to three weeks before flying, and maybe that’s why the three times I booked an Airbnb at San Antonio, Hawaii, and Los Angeles were absolute nightmares. Mold (I’m talking flood damage mold), dusty/dirty.
Haven’t had the same experience even with cheap motels, and to me the extra 10% was worth it.

That being said i had an excellent experience in Switzerland. My host went off Airbnb soon after that and launched her own website.
I'm not even gonna go into if lax security was at the root of 9/11, I think it was certainly contributory but definitely not causal.

That does not answer my question - we dismantled the previous system and subsumed private sector expertise in airline security into TSA - so if not TSA, who should be doing it and how should it be done?

Like I think we could just as well have TSA doing it with policies returned back to 2000 (though I'm skeptical of rolling back the clock that much)?

Like, I don't disagree with the idea that TSA is about 50% theatre - it is, its meant to make Bob and Eileen from Cedar Rapids who fly twice a decade feel safe.

That’s exactly what they do—I think they call that a “blend” (I’m not a teacher, I just know lots of them) when they’re teaching phonics, and they don’t try to do some insane thing like treating the two letters as meaningfully separate, but teach them as a unit that makes one sound. It’s what to do with the “e” that’s a bit tough to guess, I should think—and that’s not consistent, at least in American English, because we’ll say it like “thuh” or “thee” depending on context. “Thus” without the S, or “these” without the SE.

Just do it and figure out the details as you go. You rapidly learn that everyone has an opinion on what you're doing. Some opinions are worth listening to; most aren't. Arguably experience is about working out who those people are. Almost certainly nobody understands your business better than you, even now. You'll get a thick skin when you seem to fail time and again. That's normal; work out how to pick up the pieces and carry on. Keep going as long as you're having fun and are able to. The only point you need to think really carefully is when your start investing your savings.

Oh, and read The Lean Startup. And probably ignore me, my opinion is probably useless.
To "make the case that they" are or aren't violating antitrust law, you need to know and talk about antitrust law.

To not be sure how someone can make either case, without being familiar with antitrust law and framing the discussion in terms of it, is only to be expected.

I came to HN hoping to see some legal analysis, but I guess that's not what HN is for. You can get good technical discussion of technology, but when it comes to legal technical stuff it's just ideology and people talking about how they think things should be. What's HN for lawyers?
I don't disagree with the idea that TSA is about 50% theatre - it is, its meant to make Bob and Eileen from Cedar Rapids who fly twice a decade feel safe.

my shoes must be removed anyhow, because they will cause the magnetometer to go off.

Generally I agree with you - like we don't make people with PreCheck take them off - so why make everyone else?
Digging a bit more into the links I found this:

Instead, the TSA has argued that, even if all of the allegations in Ms. Leuthauser’s complaint are true, the TSA and its employees have absolute impunity. Regardless of what “torts”, even rape, TSA checkpoint staff commit against travelers, the government claims that Federal courts have no jurisdiction to hear lawsuits or consider claims against them.

So TSA is claiming immunity for both staff and the agency. I didn't read the actual judgement, but I'm guessing the grandparent comment has that covered.
>A poor person makes a big purchase in the form of a new computer or television and pays sales tax

Because if you're buying it for personal use it's presumably for consumption, and if you're buying it for business use it's for business use. In the latter case you don't want to tax it because that would hurt businesses with low margins and give vertically integrated businesses an edge. There's definitely abuse of this with small businesses, where someone buys a pickup truck for "business use" but uses it for personal use, but that should be fixed with better enforcement of the tax code, not changing the tax regime entirely.

>while a rich person makes a big purchase in the form of stock

Because VAT/sales tax are consumption taxes, not a transaction tax. Stocks aren't consumed, so they aren't taxed.

>Fucking imagine if you bought a car and when you resold it you could subtract the depreciation from your income taxes.

So what are you advocating for? Abolition of all consumption taxes?

The existing security function was transferred, but the scope/intensity increased.

What used to be two, maybe three people running a metal detector and an x-ray machine for parcels, is now probably ten people running a lot more equipment, a lot slower.

I'm not convinced we need the intensity of inspection that we have, especially when passenger education in real time was enough to foil the targeting of the 4th plane, and locked cockpit doors and policy changes should foil hijackings without the participation of the pilots. It's a huge cost for a small benefit.

I would guess it's a mistake in phrasing. Also from the article (emphasis mine):

Put a product into users’ hands.

Before you worry about recurring customers, fundraising, co-founders, or anything else, just get a minimum-viable product out for people to play around with.

The other stuff will come later; for now, you need feedback on what you’re doing. And that feedback is only valuable if the person giving it to you has experience with your product.

Inside Sam Bankman-Fried’s Family Bubble
Came here to say the same thing. This adds absolutely nothing to any reasonable understanding of matrix multiplication. This is the most complex way I could imagine trying to explain what matrix multiplication "is".

If it's useful to someone working in a very complex environment where these visualizations are necessary to help tease out some subtle understanding, then that's great.

But really, this part is all you need to know about the article:

> This is the _intuitive_ meaning of matrix multiplication:

> - project two orthogonal matrices into the interior of a cube

> - multiply the pair of values at each intersection, forming a grid of products

> - sum along the third orthogonal dimension to produce a result matrix.

This 1. Isn't intuitive, and 2. Isn't the "meaning".

I don't think we can trust AI until it bears a resemblance to "Thinking Fast and Slow", and it won't soar until it can do better than humans.

We react to situations and then rationalize why we reacted that way at leisure, and those often turn into excuses and not reasons. It's a story about why you got angry. Why you got angry was something only slightly related to your stated reason.

If an AI can narrow that gap then they will have exhibited the sort of capacity for reason that we expect from them but have yet to even glimpse.
1) As mentioned by another comment, B2B customers may care about the size of your team if you are doing something business critical. From their perspective, they don't want to depend on a product that may not be there if one guy gets sick, takes a vacation, flakes, etc. One approach I have seen some people take is to answer something like "the team is under 10 people" which is technically true (ish)

2) A startup is about risk management. At the beginning, there are ALL the risks (can you build it, are you building something people want, can you find those people in a scalable and economically efficient way, will those people pay enough for the product, etc?). Your goal as a founder is to quantify and reduce those risks in a methodical way. Your milestones should be tied to that goal. For instance, to address the first risk listed, you can set a milestone for developing a prototype. For the second, you can set a milestone for getting the first live customer, and so on and so on. My suggestion is to prioritize risk and set your milestones to address the biggest first (hint: it almost always is figuring out whether anyone even wants what you are building). Another thing to consider is the psychology of progress. Momentum feeds on itself so it is a good idea to set aggressive timelines.

3) Theoretically, no one cares where you live. Practically, it may help to be in a tech-dense area for networking, hiring, etc purposes.

4) Not doing enough (any?) marketing is probably going to be why most technical founders fail. The problem for the most part if not whether or not you can build a thing, it is going to be whether or not you can get enough (any) people to buy and use the thing. You should be doing twice as much marketing as coding as a rule of thumb.

5) Fundraising is a tactic, just like any other tactic available in building a company. There are some ideas that are capital intensive (eg high customer acquisition costs) and would be hard to execute without fundraising. If you do decide you need/want to fundraise, you should understand the implications for you and your company and plan accordingly. For some reason, lots of people seem to form their identity around bootstrapping or VC. I don't think this is a useful way of thinking about the topic. It is better to think about it as a tool and decide if that tool is what you want or not.
(I'm the founder of a competitor to Domo)

I really like the concept of Domo. They have ETL, modeling, a warehouse and BI in one app ("data-stack-in-a-box"). I've interviewed 20 of their customers and the general sentiment was pretty bad. There's a long sales process, a longer process to get it set it up, and they've built all the modeling and connectors themselves (vendor lock in, none are best-in-class).

Definite (https://www.definite.app/) is a data-stack-in-a-box. We have a built-in modeling layer for core metrics and an AI assistant to answer any one-off questions.

A few ways we're different:

Built on open source - We run the data stack for you and give you a single app to manage and analyze your data, but it's all built on open source standards. So if you decide at any point you want to run it all yourself, the code is yours to lift and shift to your own infrastructure.

Battle tested connectors - We're using Meltano / Singer (open source library from Stitch) for our connectors, so they've been used heavily in production for years.

Self-serve that actually works - A lot of tools promise self-serve, but AI is making this real. We've invested heavily in making it possible to ask questions and get accurate answers. The AI queries a modeled view of your data that can answer questions that depend on well defined metrics (e.g. ARR, DAU, etc.).
I'm strongly in favor of massively de-scoping the TSA, but let's be real — if you could blow up a passenger plane by mailing a bomb, with no screening whatsoever, it would have been tried a few times. It's silly to discount the deterrent effect.

There are not terrorists lurking behind every door, but there are certainly disgruntled people who would do damage if there were no consequences or inhibitions.
I think that's a solid strategy. You may have some luck being more open, depending on the company. A company that had recent layoffs might be more understanding of a layoff, and that layoffs have nothing to do with your own abilities.

Better to just not bring it up! I was laid off a few jobs ago, and I experimented in my most recent job search with explaining the business impact, how I missed on the signals, and what I did to avoid being in that situation again. It went OK, probably didn't hurt or help.

Solo founder works for B2C2B, and I think that's what you're looking to do based on what your examples.

Notion is actually the poster child for the strategy: you target a group of people who have the job title that'd use your product, but build something that appeals to them on personal level as consumers.

You don't bother with typical B2B messaging, no enterprise-y sales pitches, and you lean into community building.

That way your users will want to share it with their friends (who tend to be other people with similar job titles), want to bring it into their company for semi-personal-use, and eventually push for their employer to adopt it officially (and you charge them more for it as business users).

By the time you're face to face with the "Business", they've already established there's value in what you're selling and the signal is coming from the people they trust most.

This is not a defense of Amazon.

A neighbor of mine who makes high end silver jewelry was doing fine with the gallery he used (in Santa Fe). The gallery collected about 30% of his sales price in fees.

Another gallery approached him, asked to represent him instead. They took 50% in fees. He switched anyway.

His income went up (and stayed up). Presumably the new gallery provides some combination of better environs, more and/or different customers, better salespeople.

It still seems wrong that fees could be this high, for a jewelry gallery or for amzn. But it shouldn't be assumed that the high fees necessarily mean reduced income for the original seller.
