We wouldn’t fit either of your criteria.

And yet - we now have a bank license (!) and should clear 15-20M in revenue this year.

This is fake dogma that was invented 50 years ago by neoliberal economists and has never actually been a legal or even contractual truth. A company exists to do Company Things. Often, that is, "Make money," but it can also (should primarily) be, "Provide service/product and break even so I don't cease to exist." Ironically, championing "shareholder value" over all else leads to a paperclip apocalypse economy.

While I do hope that future, it is an unreasonably high bar because the main value of LLVM is that you don't have to make everything again to make your own PL implementation. For the same reason contemporary web browsers are unlikely to be fully rewritten in any other language unless they get completely displaced by newer browsers. (At least LLVM has a better chance of being replaced...)
> If you’re looking to build a unicorn, and not a lifestyle business, 4 years is enough time to get a feeling for whether you’ll succeed or not.

I hate this false dichotomy and to me it represents some kind of counter-reality thinking that would be poisonous in 99% of the businesses on earth.

If I start a business, generate revenues of $50K in the first year, $250K in the second, and by year 8 I'm at $10M annually but the growth has flattened out, is that a "lifestyle" business? No it's a shit ton of work, a huge achievement and as the founder it has probably made me quite rich, but also that doesn't look like a unicorn trajectory that some VC is looking for so that he can line his own pockets.

As a founder, unless you're very deep into a very successful career, you lean into that business for the big win it is. In this guy's view of the world it apparently doesn't even exist and yet it describes a huge chunk of "main street" businesses and in a lot of cases these businesses can be more profitable for you as the founder than whatever scheme a VC is cooking up.

No one is going to answer this question for you. Your circumstances are you unique, involve your business particulars, your personality and life situations and serendipity. Good luck!
I had the same concern. I almost went through with DeleteMe, but it felt paradoxical to give all my info to one company so they could remove it from others. I understand they need it to do the work but it didn't feel right. They requested photo ID, SSN, all past addresses, online handles, family member information, etc. It was just too much.
14 years old and doesn't work with python 3 though.

I don't think a required severance period for long term employees would have a notable impact on economic growth. And making it easier to give notice is good for individual liberty and the ability to change jobs when desired.

And while we're looking at the intersection of socialism, employment, and freedom, moving health care away from employment and toward the government would be a big boost to individual liberty.
I hire cars fairly often, and some of the newer ones just make random ding noises with no visual indication, and I can’t work out why. I think it may sometimes be a blind spot or proximity warning.

That being said, only some cars do it so I’m guessing it’s poor manufacturer implementations mainly.
Not with Calibre libraries. If you ever go back to using Calibre, I’m not sure how it will respond to having all of the files “messed up” in the wrong spot — the docs are quite clear that there is ONE way to store books.

That said, the end goal is to have a native Citadel way to manage libraries and that WOULD support custom folder hierarchies.
I feel a bit reluctant giving them much of my data just to match me with their potentially non-existent records and so allowing them initiating new records on me covertly. Also no way checking if they lie about the dataset on me. I feel better not sharing data in general, anywhere, except when it is really essential. So many businesses lost me on potential or factual trade because before(!) answering my questions or giving very basic information (e.g. price!) on their services they wanted to collect lots of factual data on me. I said no, good bye!
In a landmark decision, the Norwegian government has approved the first deep-sea mining project in the country’s waters. This move has sparked a global debate about the environmental risks and potential benefits of extracting minerals from the depths of the ocean.

Deep-sea mining involves the use of heavy machinery to excavate minerals from the seabed, including copper, cobalt, and manganese. These minerals are essential for the production of electric vehicles, batteries, and other high-tech devices.
Causes and Counterfactuals of Bank Failures
When I "quit my startup" that involved making several people redundant, letting down customers, and announcing that I'd been able to make it work.

I was also fearful of the potential that my name would be tarnished in the local tech scene as being unreliable, or unlikely to follow through with future projects. Think of Google's reputation when it comes to new products getting axed after half-assed efforts, but applied to a founder.

How others label you does matter when it comes to operating in a society IMHO, even if that could be classed as coercion.

Memory safety issues in C++ have two main causes. One is object lifetime. The other is pointers. If at all possible you want to design your program such that object lifetime is completely obvious and predictable. Use sentinels and tombstones instead of null pointers. Use arenas wherever possible. During debug use an allocator that doesn't reuse memory (just mark the pages as no access so you will segfault when trying to read/write in previously freed memory). When object lifetime is complex you can give objects a "color" during allocation and then make rules that you can verify that objects of one color can never have pointers to objects of another color, or that an object can never contain a pointer to a younger object. You can eliminate entire categories of memory problems this way. Instead of pointers use indices and a getter function. In debug mode the getter can check if the right locks are held, scan the heap for incorrect pointers, check for ownership flags, etc. Actually take advantage of the virtual memory tools provided to you by the operating system. Threadlocal memory. Fork tasks into different processes. Actually use mprotect and the like.

Zero memory safety mistakes is a tall order. But the overwhelming majority of memory errors we see in the wild can be easily prevented by good practices. And for the memory errors that do happen stack protection flags make a big difference (https://developers.redhat.com/articles/2022/06/02/use-compil...).
Sounds like South Korea.

> More importantly, quitting would change the way I view and value myself. I wanted to see myself as someone who performed their fair share of service back to society, and not a parasite.

This is an insanely sad thing to read. You pay taxes, unless you're in an active war, you don't "owe" anything to the society.
I was about to comment that this isn't AI, then realized that it's a pointless distinction now. Whether something is AGI is still meaningful to know when we got there, until then all AI/ML-tech will simply either keep being called AI or computer, agent/assistent, or whatever.

Aren‘t these connected? Its about the contribution culture. If there is so much pain that it led to a language fork, what IDE and quality of life improvements from a shrinking community can we talk about? When I started with D several years ago, there were a few meetups and active contributors. These ppl now have left D for Rust and now we have this fork. Does it look like there is success ahead? I would say it looks more like the last desperate effort to change things.
Our ancestors didn't sail boats into an ocean of freezing poison[0].

All human development involves risk, yes. However, when you depend on future progress in order for survival, I'd argue that passes a risk threshold.

Putting this somewhat more simply, if the Puritans remained stuck at 1600 technology, they could still (conceivably) survive in America indefinitely. If you went to live on Mars at today's technical levels, you personally probably would die on today's technology, but your children (or your pregnant wife!) would almost certainly be non-viable. You need "Future Technology Tree" to be a viable population.

Now, the Polynesian exception. The Navigators were making some absolutely insane voyages[1], but the risk threshold was different for them, because they lived on tiny islands whose ecosystems they burned through at a terrifying pace. I'd argue we're not looking at "Easter Island Planet Earth" today . . although it's not off the menu.

[0] For an airless land made of more poison. That's also radioactive. Mordor got nutin.

[1] "Insane". . so far as we know. No surviving writing, plus an esoteric culture of priest-navigators that jealously guarded knowledge, means we're never quite sure just how much these cultures did know about where they were going. Given genetic evidence that some single generations made cross-pacific trips . . and then came back again . . it's really looking more and more likely that they knew where they were going more than we thought.
Well, I don't know how it is where you drive, but here you have two options: you either stay just close enough that you can stop in an emergency, but no closer, and certainly not a "comfortable" distance; or you can get cut off every couple of seconds.
It might be illustrative if polls were required to post their survey and methods along their results or otherwise disregarded as biased and useless. They won’t do it because “proprietary.”
This is great for Starlink and Americans, really great.

But I believe that we should consider the corollary of this achievement: any threat actor with the ability to launch satellites into this orbit will be able to act as a cell tower, anywhere in the world at any time.

Previously, cell towers were limited by geography and topology. We'd travel to/through a neighborhood and there would be a limited number of towers available for our traffic, and our trust in them was based on their ability to physically set up there and connect to one or more carrier networks.

Now if any old space rock can provide service, what does this mean for trustworthiness of the tower stations? Will anybody be able to carry our traffic without us really knowing who is doing it?
Oh, definitely. I just find it fascinating how much of a difference it makes - that upfront membership charge scares a lot of people away even though you can make it back with a single purchase on some individual items. The Econ 101 model wouldn’t have me thinking that big a gap would persist but it’s not exactly news that humans aren’t incredibly rational cost-minimizers.

Most modern EVs have heat pumps. Not using heat pumps to generate heat - exploiting the larger than 100% efficiency you get in the process - offends my sensibilities.

If we have propane, and want to use it for energy/heating, it’d be better to burn it at some large central efficient generator (perhaps supplying waste heat as district heating for nearby homes), and use the electricity to power heat pumps.
I rely on eBird but these would be so much better. I joined the Arizona Audubon Society a year ago and I struggle to recognize only about 7 or 8 types of birds on my own. Embarrassing, these smart binoculars would help :-)

On the other hand seeing something through is usually an attribute people admire. Being able to persevere in face of adversity is not that bad of a trait to learn.

I’d reckon if it’s your first/second time it’s better to stick with it a bit longer, if for nothing else than to learn what your own limits and endurance are.

Once you’ve had a a few adversities endured under your belt, you can quit soon as soon as you like and still be considered in good light.

Who knows, things might become better at some point and then you could get some more rewards or at least bragging rights.

And if nothing else it would end up as a good story, and what’s our lives if not collection of stories, both good and bad.

To be more concrete - I once worked for a company where the team I was on was very unpleasant and I just couldn’t take it anymore, I was very close to throwing out the towel, and said so to my manager. After some back and forth I was offered some generous amount of money to stay, and eventually moved myself to a different team within the company itself. But I stayed, and to be fair it turned out to be one of the most interesting and rewarding experiences of my career.

I was labeled as an engineer to be admired and got a lot more influence in the company than I would have otherwise had. Sure nobody knows what would have happened had I quit - maybe would have found a better place, maybe not.

It’s like choosing a partner, sometimes its worth sticking around for your own sake if not for someone else, if you abandon them you’ll probably find someone else that doesn’t have the problems that you hate, but will have their own set of problems. Dealing with problems is its own skill and you cannot develop them unless you stick around. And sometimes the problem might be yourself, in which case you definitely don’t learn by quitting.

I'm not a psychologist myself, and I know nothing about modern academic psychoanalysis. I've tried to read some but it was indecipherable to me.

Modern clinical psychoanalysis is a strange field. It went out of vogue with the advent of behavioral and later cognitive psychology in the latter half of the 20th century, as well as psychiatry. Psychoanalysts tend to believe their way is the only way, while more modern psychologists are much more eclectic. They're often extremely critical of the use of medication even in cases where the evidence supporting their use is overwhelming, like stimulants for ADHD.

Psychoanalysts have their own strange nomenclature that's often incompatible with modern developments. So it's hard for other psychologists to even talk to them at all.

Those are some of the reasons psychoanalysis is viewed as pseudoscientific by modern clinical psychologists.

I understand what you’re saying, but a country that only has people enlisted when they’re already at war, is not one that’s going to be very secure. Constant preparation is necessary for any nation that wants to have its own military, and being enlisted in the service absolutely counts as a “share of service back to society” to me. It can’t just be someone else’s problem forever.
Eh disagree. It makes a lot of sense to me. If everyone is doing a duty and you shirk it of course you are betraying everyone else.

Notwithstanding the military service being mandatory for really bad reasons, but if it's South Korea it's kinda not?

Saying the only way to 'owe' anything is through money sounds like a... weird Americanism to me (speaking as an American).

This seems like two different questions being interwoven, asking both why high-turnover business models exist and why the management culture in those business models is the way it is.

I can't answer the first, but AFAICT the latter is just an evolutionary pressure of a sort: as more ruthless cultures are selected for, the successful individuals in those cultures become those who embody ruthlessness all the time instead of people who adjust their level of compassion up or down as the situation dictates.
South Korea is in an active war — you know that, right? It’s the reason they have mandatory military service.

The shops know this. High-end hifi is full of grift. It literally relies on people with more money than sense who can be persuaded to spend a fortune on components and extras that either make no difference to the sound or make it objectively less accurate.

Which is why you get nonsense like directional cables, cable supports to keep cables off the floor, cables with magic insulation, magic rocks that go on top of components, magic knobs, magic creams, "quantum" anything, grounding boxes full of pebbles that don't ground anything, and so on.

Also, most of the people who can afford this hobby are rich old boomers who often can't hear much above 7k on a good day.

Yeah it's like a weird cult.

Like.. Do it as long as you want. Quit when you're done. Don't be a fool and keep doing it when you shouldn't. If someone calls you a quitter, tell them it felt right and move on.
This article seems to be about quitting a startup, not about being a quitter in general. I think it's fair to say that you want a good reputation if you're trying to start a business. I don't want the BPD founder that burns time and money on a whim. That means you should be mindful of how you appear to others, and at least have a good excuse if you've founded five failed startups in three years.

Renault Trafic in 9 seat configuration weights 1.8 tons - so yes, it is only one ton less than the average fuel-powered SUV... But the electric ones are much heavier. It costs 25k€ which gets a modest subcompact SUV or about half of a popular large one.
I think the premise is flawed simply because the writer says when am I allowed to quit and not be labelled a quitter? Frankly never because if you quit you are a quitter. However, the scenario you postulate could be quitting but it could simply be recognizing that the startup will not achieve it's goals and that it should wind down and return any remaining funds to it's investors (or try to sell itself) that's not quitting it's just being realistic.

This makes it clear why dynamic programming is not easy. The problem occurs already in step 1 -- we naturally tend to think in loops, not recursions. So before you find a recursive algorithm, you probably come up with a loop algorithm first. Then you have to try to convert the loop into recursion, then go back to loops that use caching. And hope that the result is more efficient than the loop algorithm you started with.

There was a story about BMW in the early 2000s when digital screens/menus etc started to appear in cars.

The story is that a BMW exec brought a design team to see a Volkswagen Jetta and said:

"We are supposed to be the 'ultimate driving machine' but our customers say we have too many menus, buttons etc.

Looks at this VW?

Simple buttons, layout and instruments. Nothing extra. THAT is the ultimate driving machine."
My understanding is climate change weakens the jetstream, which results in more frequent winds pushing cold air from the North Pole to the south, and pushing that cold air farther south.

Remember a few years back when Texas froze? Climate change means that will happen much more frequently.

So yes Calgary is cold. But this is a symptom of something much larger.
