Maybe. Those posts offer preposterously low equity, so I wonder whom it is supposed to attract. Suckers?

Y Combinator sincerely wants people to succeed, I don’t think it’s reactionary or myopic like that.

That said, to fill whatever hundreds of spots nowadays, they’ve exhausted Math 55, it graduates all of 12 people every year.

They’re dipping into a far greater supply of nepo babies than ever before. Those jagoffs can’t do anything - not programming, let alone sales - so whom is this advice really for? Those companies will “succeed” anyway, I mean they won’t fail. You can make a ton of money as a technical cofounder, but for the minimally intellectually stimulating problems of some moron's meaningless app, for that moron to get all the glory? Just to polish life off by marrying your subordinate and sending the kids to Day School? And shoveling all that money right back into meaningless angel investments?

This is a stylized comment of course, but it's just to say, yeah, you need a technical co-founder, really easy for Y Combinator to say. I too would like extremely talented people to give everything and take nothing.

That's a great point. Just thinking out loud, if we can time travel back to the cavemen time, and assuming we speak their language, there would still be so much that we couldn't explain or they wont' be able to understand even for the smartest cavemen adults. Unless, of course we spend significant time and effort to "bring them up to speed" with modern education.

Second this. I worked in Sales Engineering for 5 years, ended that career selling a $25MM solution to the CEO of a fortune 100. There is no secret sauce, and it is all learnable. The key skills are interpersonal. I know its hard to do as an engineer, but most of (enterprise) sales is shutting the F up, listening, carefully listening, earning trust, and learning to navigate stakeholders and what their potential incentives are to help you.
I'm very strong in logical analysis and strategic thinking. My problem though is that I have a natural tendency to not talk to people. Ask me a question and I'm happy to answer, but I don't like to initiate conversations. Stefan is the opposite. Everybody loves him. He can talk to everyone and he's very creative in finding leads and building connections with other companies. But he's a really bad developer. Together, we're a really strong team. I'd say without him, I would still not have a strong network.
The mechanism I'm trying to describe is when employers pay a base in X dollars and stock in Y dollars which takes Z years to mature. AWS sounds like they're being somewhat reasonable about it by giving an employee cash before their options mature, but I have interviewed at places (Envestnet in New York City) where I was offered a base comp which was meh and then options which were gonzo. The offer, if I remember correctly, was $105k/y base and then $100k/y in stock which took three years to vest. I passed on the offer because $105k/y in NYC was cutting it too close for me. They did not have a "cash float" mechanism.
I think you don't understand what encryption is.
Kind of, and it usually works. Even as a founder you can trick yourself into doing things that way. I've found that 20/80, Pareto style, is even better. 20% of the features can achieve 80% of the sales, and you'll be a lot happier if you're not constantly chasing the long tail.
>"permanent time zones as close as possible to solar time (natural time) in Europe."

It doesn't even do that for most people in Ireland, according to its own map! As it appears to be based on land mass without regard to population density, the majority of the population would most naturally be in the Western European Time Zone, but they'd be pushed into the Azores Time Zone. A government in Dublin is not going to agree to a time zone change that wouldn't make sense for Dublin, and that's even ignoring the extreme political problems and potential violence and unrest involved with Ireland and Northern Ireland being in different time zones.

For that matter, Greece is understandably not going to agree to any change in time zones that results in a map where its islands that Turkey disputes are changed to be the same colour as Turkey, rather than Greece. Neither is Cyprus. It would be a bit like asking either the government of Taiwan to start using simplified characters, or the PRC to start using traditional characters, and simply saying that it would make language support on computers simpler.

I would support a reasonable proposal to end DST and have more natural time zones. But it has to at least consider factors other than just land masses and solar time, or it will never be a viable proposal. Their "full document" and "justification" doesn't include any discussion of the political ramifications or of population densities. They don't appear to give any justification of their specific country-level recommendations at all.

Is shitting on people smarter than you like you entire deal?
Right but what I'm saying is it's always hard. Because the skin is so thick and hard there's literally no way to tell what the flesh is like underneath.

Except sometimes it's a little thinner/softer that you can actually press the outside, but you still have to use so much pressure it bruises the avocado. There's zero way of "gently" checking.

I've opened avocados that are still rock-hard on the outside, after waiting a full week, only to discover they're overripe and brown/gray on the inside.

And I have no problem with any other fruit or vegetable. Just avocados because of their crazy thick/hard rind where I live.

I just don't see how it can be "user error". My only suspicion is it's a different subvariety or grown for extra-thick skin for longer-distance transport or something.

Democracy needs constant supervision (who watches the watchmen?) and checks and bounds with accountability, otherwise, leaders left unaccountable and democracy left unchecked slowly devolves into a kleptocracy.
This sounds more like a hardware fault than something wrong with the software, especially since it doesn't seem to be deterministic.

I also live in northern New England and feel the same at this point. It may not be ideal, but nothing else would be either. And honestly technology has made the pain points pretty much vanish for me anyway: now every single time keeping device automatically switches over, and my smart lights that I made a program for a simulated sunrise and time-of-day based color temperature changes also switch which means my circadian rhythm adapts right away. I can absolutely empathize with those who feel differently but I think where we've ended up is pretty decent given the ginormously different circumstances and wishes. Until something can win a better consensus.

Are you aware of the accession path Ireland took and why it was linked to UK accession?

Challenging music is a tough sell because there has been about a hundred years of a critical mass of composers who took the metric of "challenging" and made it a target.

That created a lot of noise that's not of the compelling type. And while it's not so pretentious that, say, the music accidentally sounds outside of the human frequency range, it's pretentious enough to make non-musickers question whether there's really any there there.

Music cognition is still a young enough science to leave questions lingering about what is and isn't happening on a musical-perception level.

Also-- not sure I've ever seen this talked about, but music perception shares sensory apparatus with one's general sense of hearing. So challenging music with unfamiliar timbres and frequency combinations can be physically grating and overload the listener on that sensory level. It's difficult to be open to new, unfamiliar musical forms, and probably impossibly so if one is grumpy because the delivery format makes one feel as if the music is actively hurting one's ears.

Right. FAANG interviews generally aren't even trying to figure out if someone will be good at their job. Leetcode tests for IQ and being willing to sink tons of hours into bs to get the job.

When you build a startup, you have to go through so much crap, a lot of people wouldn't do that for money. But there's another aspect.

I do like the idea of being in UTC and not having to worry about this timezone nonsense between my computer and any server application.

Unfortunately I've moved from the Netherlands to Germany and my family, a few longitudinal kilometers away, would have to do timezone gymnastics when we talk about any sort of plans, so needless to say, from my personal point of view I fully agree with you that NL and DE being in different timezones, instead of the sea being the timezone separator as it is today, is bonkers
The only reason they would have made more is reduced competition. Streaming allows historical catalogs to be infinitely available, and vastly lowers the bar for smaller musicians to add their music to the catalog. There's also more foreign music available then ever before. The supply of music is vastly increased thanks to streaming, but demand really can't increase, so obviously the price is going to fall.

Why is your argument from authority relevant at all here?

1. For that matter, I would not work with a boss who doesn't recognize an argument from authority as a response.

2. Furthermore a boss who lacks critical thinking skills and can't recognize a mildly skeptical comment for what it is.

3. Why assume I'm rigidly taking any position re. Altman in particular?

4. "That's pathetic" is not "He's pathetic", so perhaps the problem here is your low reading comprehension level, and not any particular assumption that I have committed to at all.

5. "A weird assumption" -- so, you decide it's weird because you just read it wrongly? Or, if something seems weird, why not ask a curious question and find out? Listening skills? Why is it so important to make this about another commenter?

I find your poor faith interpretation of my comment to be offensive. You've at the used your professionalism as pretense to biasedly cast judgment on what is a critical or even mildly skeptical general remark. This reflects the bad side of tech culture. You should apologize.

>We legislate lots of things without consensus with 51-49 majorities.

We really do not in the US when it's a matter of genuine controversy. Once in a long while something gets forced through if the status quo is just unsustainable or it's a core plank issue or something, but the system isn't designed to allow anyone hitting 51 to easily pass anything contentious. And that's with your implicit take that there is a 51-49, but that's the thing, it's not a dichotomy in the first place. It's more like 25/25/40/5/3/1/1. Plus this isn't some inherently critical issue, for most people it's at most a minor irritation twice per year. For some it's a minor enjoyable, "free sleep". And thus status quo rules :).

The gospels were written later, by disciples. Of course they would showcase the messages from Jesus that were most relevant to the people then. This doesn't require any backwards causation, or even distorting any messages, they just have to showcase the sayings that are most relevant there & then when they're writing them down.

And persecution happened quite early, Paul himself admits to doing it in his former life, so there are stories already in the Gospel, not to mention Paul's entire appeal to Caesar.

What’s the root cause?

Cynical answer: Humans.

Slightly less cynical: Cars.

We've built an environment (in the US, at least) where driving a car is basically a requirement to participate in society. So, people drive, whether they want to or not. And they drive whether they're physically or mentally capable of doing so successfully.

And we're so entrenched in this design that discussion of a change is met with derision and scorn.

>If your interpretation was correct, Meta would not have removed Canadian news sources entirely.

Meta's actions prove absolutely nothing. I could similarly say that Google didn't remove any news, therefore the law has zero effect?

Meta has, for months in advance of anything coming into force, embargoed Canadian news and replaced it with an appeal to the reader. That is political action, and it seems to have failed given that the government didn't blink. Now that Google has an agreement, it looks especially silly.

If Meta continues their embargo of Canadian news, personally I consider that a good thing. The Canadian public accepting that Meta is not a good source or "homepage" for news is a wonderful outcome of all of this.

Let's just say - there are some critical things you have to be good enough at and those correlate with commonly observed corporate structures. Some degree of Sales, Marketing, Legal, Security, R & D, and Finance competencies need to exist across the founders. Sometimes one person can do it, but they also need to know how and when to bring in experts if they are lucky enough to need to scale up.

On a very basic level, not having a cofounder in any capacity can create a structural bottleneck when two important things have to happen at the same time. A trusted second party provides resiliency.
