Would you rather work in the React and Typescript you know leveraging all that experience with a rapidly maturing platform (check out https://expo.dev/ for instance.)?

I'm in the same boat I think. I never had COVID, even after taking PCR tests when I was feeling ill. (I have CF, so respiratory infections are common, so entirely possible it was something else)

Best one was the day my wife was diagnosed just before a minor surgical procedure. That day we went and received 15-minute PCR tests (the kind you'd get if you were traveling): I was negative and she was confirmed as positive. I can only assume I had it at one point and still had "natural" immunity. (We were both previously vaccinated, and her COVID case was very mild)

Correct. My point is that people only casually familiar don't realize how vertically integrated the FBA model is.

FBA is like eBay, PayPal, FedEx, Google Ads and a warehouse all wrapped into one.
But they charge you varying types of fees based on different measures, at different times, for each of those parts of the stack. And you cannot cross shop, mixing and matching other vendors in to keep them honest on pricing.

I meant to stress the "opposing progress" part of my comment. The two things are only the same if there was a universal, objective definition of progress with bettering humanity.

> What if legislators were required to wait one year before passing laws in response to a public event of some sort?

Someone discovers a way to bypass regulations and legislature and easily acquire the material needed to create a dirty bomb and sets one off. Now we wait 365 days to fix the loophole.

Pretty obviously an absurd extremity for that example, but I sure as shit don't want there to be that level of lag time on important things like that, and I imagine most people would also want to be able to move faster in situations where it is dangerous not to. How do we determine where that line is, what the exceptions are, etc.? What happens when we need an exception and didn't realize it?
Yeah I’m kinda on the fence about this. On one hand, I see the case that this diminishes the open market. On the other hand, Amazon is doing this all within their own ecosystem. So it’s a bit disingenuous for the FTC to say that this has nothing to do with their size. The problem the FTC keeps skirting around on anticompetitive is the fact that the internet favors power differentials, so we’d have to ding any company that has massive market distribution and tweaks their platform to favor participants exclusively on their network

Network effects have not been accounted for in antitrust. That’s the core of the problem. Not the fact that Amazon is tweaking algos. Every major player is doing that.

I like Jerry Chen’s piece on “The New Moats” (ahead of its time published in 2017) that calls out the progression of tech going from systems of engagement -> systems of record -> systems of intelligence. It feels like this is one (of many) consequences of that progression:

What complicates this further is with GDI (from Wikipedia/Architecture_of_Windows_NT)

> The Graphics Device Interface is responsible for tasks such as drawing lines and curves, rendering fonts and handling palettes. The Windows NT 3.x series of releases had placed the GDI component in the user-mode Client/Server Runtime Subsystem, but this was moved into kernel mode with Windows NT 4.0 to improve graphics performance.

I remember how rock solid NT 3.51 was, then NT 4.0 and early Win 2000 was a period of less stability especially on laptops until it finally got stable again.

'low-information meme investors'. Unfortunately, true for many. Would be great if the CFTC would revert the financial reporting requirements for bank swap dealers (https://www.cftc.gov/PressRoom/PressReleases/8746-23). Specifically: https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/17/23.105

As for 'defend Cohen', He wrote a letter to the board specifically calling out the company’s executive compensation structure as noted in the article. They ignored him. He held through a 50% loss then when finally profitable filed his paperwork to sell. Any informed investor looking at the fundamentals would know the risk of this vs just reacting to noise on social media.
Rollout clauses can help with this.

For instance, don't draw up a contract blindly, mandate an install base and training as part of the package, and that contractually, it must be installed, training complete, and in process for X number of days, and in that time period requests are limited to direct support (IE, actual bugs or user questions). You should be meeting with users as much as possible during this time, if you can. Make it clear that you only want and will listen to their feedback and make changes in that respect.

Then, schedule a meeting with the users at the end of the specified period, to get a sum of all the positives and negatives of the product, and have a separate with management about whats next, what your roadmap with them looks like (if applicable) etc.

This keeps the relationship in control in a positive way, usually for everyone.

I've seen clauses like this before in enterprise contracts. If you can everyone to agree to it, they turn those fears into assets real quick, and helps manage the burdensome spam of support requests for X or Y feature.

We wouldn't even be able to talk about them, because if we did, there would be a causal chain starting with a non-psysical thought and ending with moving a (physical) tongue. So somewhere along that chain, a non-physical thing would need to make a physical thing move. How exactly?

I'd argue that anti-trust is a fundamentally flawed concept - it's a matter of time frames, but no company without significant government intervention has had a 'monopoly' for more than a few years. Hell, Standard Oil was only 64% market share when it was broken up.
I like to characterize my approach to technology as "informed carefulness". So maybe "I'm a cautious adopter of technology. I adopt what works, what improves my life, and respects my rights."

The violation of people's trust through the use of telemetry is precisely what turned me skeptical of modern day stuff. There's a lot of stuff that I would probably use, if it wasn't hellbent on learning the color of my underwear, how often I snore, or what products I'm interested in.

To be honest I am always on the latest versions of the OS. One of the reasons because I have a lot of pet projects built mostly with SwiftUI. And each release adds some nice new features. And unfortunately to use those new features you have to use latest versions of macOS/iOS.

Ventura overall did not really had any OS features that would force me to upgrade. Just a little more annoying like new Settings app, that was unusable so many times. Freeform I have never used, Weather app is nice, but there were always alternatives.

Sonoma gave really good upgrade for me, those two features like Safari Profiles and Widgets.

With two OS versions upgrade what you will like/hate:

- new Settings application. You get used to it. But would take a while to be able to find things.

+ new dynamic wallpapers. This will be mostly for people who use external monitors/always connected monitors.

+ Notes/Reminders - if you use it a lot, you can use tags and links between notes.

+ If you use Docker and similar software, Virtualization framework is getting a lot of upgrades, so you might see them to work better.

+ Safari Profiles and Tab Groups. If you are Safari user.

+ Widgets might be good only on monitors, you probably would not see them on laptop screen.
> YouTube Music is just another podcast client (like Google Podcasts was) which you're free to avoid.

My partner uses Google Podcasts because it was preinstalled. The vast majority of folks don't know that they have a choice, let alone that they should find/choose an app. Hell, that's really the only reason Apple Podcasts has any traction: it came preinstalled.

> Conspiracy theories!

I hear what you're saying. In the end, we have to believe something -- on less than perfect information.

But understanding human nature, isn't a conspiracy theory. And accepting obviously overreaching statements of "fact", that literally nobody had the data to state unequivocally, is not following the science.

It wasn't so long ago, that most people understood big pharma was a profit seeking machine, that wasn't primarily motivated by what is best for humanity. Overstating the risks of Covid, and pretending that we faced an existential threat, made everyone forget that truth, and unquestioningly believe that only the purest of intentions motivated the industrial/media response.
Don't confuse criticism of the FTC with praise for Amazon here. The FTC seems to be continuing weak cases, and at least some of us view that as very problematic.

If we are going to rebuild some of the surrounding rules such that these practices are illegal, I'm all for it. If it turns out that I'm wrong and they do manage to make the market healthier with a suit against Amazon, great.

This doesn't look strong in that direction, though. This reeks of populist appeal from folks that know it is a politically savvy move to bash Amazon.
I mean, Google keeps packing more and more weird nonsense features into Chrome (e.g. https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/6362090?hl=en&co=GE...) so uh...

We know that the webp project does use unchecked access. We know this is intentional because they go through a lot of effort to do up front bounds checking rather than at every access. We also know that companies like Dropbox, when implementing their own Huffman table implementation, demonstrated an 11% speed up when disabling bounds checks: https://dropbox.tech/infrastructure/lossless-compression-wit...

It is not a stretch whatsoever to assume that a direct rewrite of the webp library into rust would have uncovered the same perf findings that Dropbox did, and decided that the pattern of “up front bounds checks, disabled bounds checks at element access” is a reasonable perf enhancement, especially for a Huffman table, where you’re continually accessing the compression table over and over when expanding it.

Edit: the more I think about it, you’re probably right. I had mistakenly thought I was reading C++ code when I was looking at the original patch to the vulnerability. The fact that it’s actually written in C, erodes my argument quite a bit… my logic in my head went something like, “if they wanted bounds checking they would have used std::vector”, but now I realize that’s impossible since it’s not C++. I’ll concede that there’s no real reason to assume that they would have skipped bounds checking if written in a safe language.
Seems nuts to me, but CEOs also get an interesting pressure not to effectively be in a second sector through real estate holdings, etc, so even if long term subleasing would have paid off they may not have wanted to.

I guess its that having a lot of assets in a lower alpha sector will dilute the upside in a boom compared to a company that is totally leveraged to have all its value operating in the one sector. Fiscal madness.
The US military has a program to grade the efficacy of "expired" medication.

The generous version is that it's only feasible for a company to make a guarantee of efficacy to a point and the cynical version is that people will buy more as long as the expiration is some economically tolerable length. The .MIL has enough to make the efficacy tests worthwhile.

Hi.

1) I am same as you, I like to work alone. Working with another is irritating, to say the least. I always think I can move faster when I don't have to communicate with anybody else.

But. Doing business is less about doing stuff well and more about avoiding really stupid shit. Having other people to work with and especially a cofounder is one of the best ways to get feedback for really stupid stuff you could do.

It is all about reducing the time and cost between when you become wrong and when you stop being wrong. For some reason it is very hard to do it on your own.

2. Don't set milestones. Understand the problem you are trying to solve for your customers. Do your best solution of the problem, the best way you can. The customers are just validation of your idea -- if they come you might be onto something and if they are not coming you are doing something wrong.

3. No. It is up to you. If you are asking this question you haven't thought this solopreneurship thing yet. The whole point of doing it solo is to be able to make those decisions yourself.

4. The best way is to make a good product/service. The customers will come. Don't focus on the customers, focus on the best service you can. The more customers you have the harder it will be to focus on the service, so cherish the ability to move fast while you have no/few customers yet.

5. You want to slowly build it up. Financing is a hack that should only be used by people with experience -- not you, at least not yet.

Your goal for your first business should be to avoid getting killed financially (don't get into debt!). As long as you do that, you have ability to iterate. Most of successful people I know have started multiple businesses before they finally succeeded. That assumes ability to start another business after the first one fails. Bankruptcy will very likely put an end to your career as an enterpreneur.

Also, slowly building it up gives you time necessary to learn, to transform yourself. And build a product. It takes time to think all those things and integrate it into your experience and trying to hack it will just leave you woefully unprepared.

Also, when you get financing it suddenly puts a timer on your business. It puts a pressure that makes it difficult to focus and make your own decisions. Everything from now on is a compromise. And, at least in my mind, this conflicts with trying to build the best product you can.

Also, when you get financing, the cost of that financing will depend on how risky the investment is (I am kind of expert when it comes to risk). You don't give loans for nothing, you want to earn some money. And the riskier the investment, the more you want to earn. And as a first business with an unexperienced founder, running solo, you are as risky as it can be. If you ever get somebody to invest money in your business it will necessarily come at an exorbitant price and you are also very possibly get abused by somebody with much more experience than you.
