> You could call this a MVP but I'd just call it building a product people want to use. The MVP term is unnecessary.

Isn’t the difference here just semantics

From my understanding the premise of the article is that over the years there’s too much negative sentiment around the term MVP.

This negative sentiment comes from too many people building a half assed product instead of a kick ass half
> It could also mean nine one hour outages during working hours or one out of 1000 web browser requests fail on average.

Totally fine with both of these, even as someone who works from home.

And this is what I'd find unacceptable.
> Where are we closer?

Vision. Computer vision keeps getting better. Depth sensors are widely available. Interpretation of 3D scenes kind of works. A decade ago, the state of the art was aligning an IC over the right spot and a board and putting it in place.

> What I don think is much improved in the last decade is the infrastructure and vendor ecosystem - you can get a lot done no with commodity and near-commodity components, there is less need to start "from scratch" to do useful things.

Very true. Motors with sensors and motor controllers alone used to be expensive, exotic items. I once talked to a sales rep from a small industrial motor company that had just started making controllers. He told me that they'd done that because the motor and the controller cost about the same to make but the controller had 10x the markup.
I love this perspective.

It’s also made me draw parallels between the experiences with actual people, especially others in my household. With young children who are at the early parts of “doing household chores” of development there is basically constant refinement on what “clean the floor”, “put things away”, etc. _really_ means. I know my wife and I have different definitions on these things too. Our ability to be clear and exhaustive enough upfront on the definitions to have a complete perception and set of assumptions is basically non-existent. We’re all only human! But our willingness to engage in fixing that with humans is also high. If my kids repeatedly miss a section under some chairs when vacuuming we talk about it and know it will improve. When my Roomba does it it sucks and can’t do its job properly. Even thinking about hiring professional trades people to come do handiwork it’s rarely perfect the first time. Not because they’re bad, just because being absolutely precise about things upfront can be so difficult.

Zen Buddhist training. It's training in cultivating a permanent flow state. For starters, it's a half hour of zazen every morning, and a longer period, once or twice a week. Some people think they can get the same thing from meditation apps, or whatever else is popular these days, but there's no substitute for the real thing: working one-on-one with a teacher, participating in longer retreats, studying koans, debating and discussing, learning the history and philosophy of a thousand-year old branch of a 2500-year-old tradition.

> You'd have to implement so much functionality that we take for granted (selecting text, copy & paste, accessibility, keyboard shortcuts, etc.). If you don't want to do it yourself, you have to use a widget library or some kind of UI kit. Maybe like Flutter. The web-version of a Flutter app renders everything to canvas (with a lot of caveats).

> Since people bring their own UI libs for their JS-CSS-HTML web apps all the time, they will probably do the same with a pure canvas implementation and the result would be even shittier, because half of them will forget basic functionality.

The thing is that it's much easier for a UI lib to fix missing functionality than a browser. And when the fix is ready, the webdev can bump the dependency and then it's fixed for all their users, rather than having to hope that it somehow makes it through their vendor's update process. So even if the UI libs are initially worse, I'd expect them to overtake the browser builtins pretty quickly.
At the time engineers imagined it having a relatively short operating life, and (imho) also thought we would be putting out a lot more probes. During the Cold War space exploration provided both prestige and a technological proving ground. After the USSR fell, a lot of Congressional enthusiasm for space projects diminished and management became increasingly risk-averse because budgets were much tighter.
There's a standard for this using NFC and UWB, Digital Car Key; BMW has support for either 2.0 (NFC) or 3.0 (UWB) across their entire range. The Hyundai Motor Company group (Hyundai/Kia/Genesis) is starting to add support as well. See [1] for exact models (look for the little key icon). Several other makes are members of the Car Connectivity Consortium that standardized this protocol so it's reasonable to expect wider compatibility in the near future. The protocol incorporates significant countermeasures against relay and replay attacks like some that are mentioned in other comments here.

Can you give an example of when a single customer has outgrown the largest available DB?
Ageism is inherent to the human experience. When we see a 21 year old our brain is filled with abstract visions of the future and potential. When we see a 35 year old we expect them to have completed their journeys and have a firm entrenchment in their hierarchies. Seeing a 50 year old we expect them to have experience they are passing down. Failing to meet these expectations carries an implicit discrimination that is innate.
Sure, but if we are going to go there, lets also compare it filtered for bottom 50 schools and kids who barely graduated. And then let us look at those differences from the lens of what success was driven by the person's background, what came from their own self, and what was actually change invoked upon those lives by the school and the education it provided.
I'd respond by saying (1) is more rare than you're asserting.

There is a huge long tail of companies with datasets that won't fit on a single machine but can be handled by a dozen or so, and where no single customer or service is near the limits of an individual node.

These customers are poorly served at the moment. Most of the easy to implement SaaS options for what they need would be hugely costly vs a small fleet of db servers they administer. Meanwhile, most of the open source options are cargo culting Google or Facebook style architecture, which is a huge burden for a small company. I mean do you really want to run K8S when you have 10 servers in total?

I think there's a lot of interesting stuff happening in this end of the market that's not trying to be a mini Google, like Fly.io.

As for (2), I think a middle ground is supporting cross shard transactions but not joins. This works well enough for VoltDB et all.
I think for that scenario, there would have to be experience estimating based on the third party involved.

We have third parties building portions of our systems and for some of them I can estimate reasonably well their actual net duration because I've had a lot of experience with them, and they've been fairly consistent.

But there are others where there's a wide range, so I think it boils down to whether you can spot a pattern or not.
Yeah, the advantage or difference here is that these "layers" are a common design pattern with FoundationDB, several ship in FDB by default, and you're encouraged to make more, so the database certainly has better support than just adding a column for TenantID, but still you're right that it's not too out there.

Yes. And there's almost zero risk to such (ARP poisoning? dns poisoning? etc) MITM attacks when you turn off javascript and don't blindly execute all programs sent to you as an end user.

The problem with MITM attacks is when you execute programs or exchange money or other private information. The risks when viewing public documents that don't require execution is minimal. That's my point. One use case "web app stores" ruins everything for everyone by requiring the mindset you advocate for as browser defaults. But the entire justification goes away if the end user just turns off JS auto-execute. It's not intrinsic to all use cases for the web or even most.

EDIT: Mentioning wikipedia is missing the point. Of course there are cases where CA TLS should be used. I am not denying that. I am saying there are many cases with CA TLS makes things fragile and short lived and it is not needed: like personal websites run by a human person. And these use cases are not invalidated by the existence of yet another corporate person (wikimedia).
Sofas, perhaps especially, are pretty hard to fit for non built-in furniture. I bought a used sofa off my brother. (Ironically, their replacements ended up being terrible because they lasted about a year with their dogs.)

I was also very lucky though. I thought I could configure the sectional in a couple different ways. Turned out I rolled the dice the right way because I couldn't. And only discovered this after many months because I was on crutches at the time and couldn't do anything about the sofa sitting in my garage.

3 Cassandra / dynamo

If you are at stage 2, you are using bandaids. You need to start architecting a transition of your most heavily used data views to truly scalable databases like Cassandra / dynamo. I have not used foundation, but aphyr liked it.

That transition takes time, evaluation, pro typing, and organizational learning both at the application programmer, support engineer, and management.
Steam also provides multiplayer support/matchmaking, social features, voice chat, download/update infrastructure, anti cheat, and other things I'm probably not listing because I don't directly interact with as a player, and the only up front money you have to pay is a one-time $100 that gets refunded if you end up making $1,000 in revenue. Pretty good deal.
It's basically Lego for adults (which was more exciting until Lego pushed its market into the adult demographic).

Which is actually part of Ikea's brand identity. When you put it together yourself, you feel closer to the furniture than if someone just plonked it at your house. OTOH, if you hate that kind of thing, you'll never go back, but I guess they have an assembly service these days.

In my view, since I was the one that said it, anything more than 5 years away is perpetually 5 years away until it's been proven. Yes, eventually when Starship has enough launches and a track record it will get human rated by NASA to carry astronauts. This is the only actual certification for human space flight worth paying attention to right now. It's possible to get on a rocket otherwise, but the US government isn't going to pay for the ride. Getting flight certified by NASA is expensive and requires a level of experience with the vehicle that doesn't make sense for at least 5 years given we have a cheap and safe ride to LEO via Falcon / Dragon. Nobody is going to rush human flight on Starship, it's only going to have people on it once it's already in space.

I think you're basically describing a typical suburb and I agree those suck. However I live pretty close to the Jericho lands and there's plenty going on here. Both 4th & broadway are nearby with lots of shopping/dining etc. and there are big parks/beaches nearby. I think the neighbourhood will get even better with more residents.
In the mountains a drainage gives you a set of guard rails and a set of bounds on a topographical map. Sometimes walking a half a mile in a direction gives you perspective on a peak or another feature that you can identify on the map based on the shape and then you can shoot bearings and locate yourself. Also if you follow water downhill you'll reach successively larger bodies of running or pooled water until you reach the sea.

I've been on a hike or two with my wife where knowing where the running water is versus where it should be saved us several hours of being lost.

If you can't reuse the boosters, then a series of Starship launches to the moon will cost as much as one SLS. The complex launch architecture demands reusability. It's a deal-breaker without it.
Traditionally, it was unacceptable for landline service, since it's safety critical. (You need to be able to call 911.)

I poked around to try to figure out what the current requirements are, and it looks like they've mostly been scrapped. "Central office backup power" is required, which matches my experience attempting to get terrestrial internet or cell service during power outages.
Despite all of the corruption/scams present in deeply centralized institutions, the overall system continues to work. What is your point?

>Rug-pulls are inevitable.

That sounds like a pretty undesirable system where illegal, immoral behavior is "inevitable", hardly a replacement for the existing institutions. Especially since crypto intentionally operates (or attempts to operate) outside the jurisdiction of anti corruption and law enforcement powers. I for one would much rather be the victim of a traditional institution since there are balancing institutions that exist to hold them accountable. The fact that the only organizations that have demonstrated the capability of reigning in crypto scammers are incredibly centralized is deeply ironic to me.

Plenty of people are unbanked, about 5% of adults in the US, and plenty of people left Reddit.

Why isn't 3 9's acceptable for residential home internet? That's less than 9 hours of downtime a year, 44 minutes/month.

Sure, I'd like 4 or even 5 9's, but I don't want to pay for it -- each additional 9 is exponentially more expensive to guarantee, and few people are willing to pay for that much reliability for their own network gear.
Ongoing product development with migrations, tweaking indexes etc. becomes really hard. Every small database tweak now has to be deployed over 1000s of databases.
>There are absolutely sturdy, beautifully made sofas constructed in the United States. There are custom designer pieces made here or in France or Italy or Scandinavia, which tend to be prohibitively expensive for the masses. But low- and mid-priced sofas are a relatively new phenomenon, and, frankly, they often suck.

But do they suck less than not having a sofa at all? I am a several-time-over beneficiary of cheap made-in-southeast-asia sofas. Shipped in a fridge-sized box right to my doorstep, assembled (by me) in ~15min, and perfectly serviceable. Is it up to the same quality level as a $5000 made-in-USA solid wood hand-woven twine-joinery (etc etc) masterpiece? No, but I couldn't have afforded that kind of sofa. And it didn't have to be hand-packed by a furniture transportation expert, and it didn't weigh 800 lbs.

I don't really see the "loser" here exactly - broke grad students, college kids, people in rural areas, and starving artists win; workers in developing countries win (the furniture factory sure beats the rice paddies); Instagram-sofa tech bros win. And gilded solid wood sofa makers can always market to the rich, who can afford to spend several months' worth of my rent cost on a piece of furniture.

I can’t give specifics, I know someone who had to deal with “delete me” requests from these “privacy” companies.

That's a really interesting thing to point out. NLP doesn't even work on language anymore. If it was adjacent to information retrieval before it is now a subfield of information retrieval. As long as it's grounded in Firth Mode natural language understanding, as it's called, can't really be a semantics.

I tried to create a Kaggle (TensorFlow Hub, TensorFlow Quantum) competition for motivating alternative formalisms but was unable to publish it because all Kaggle competitions must be evaluated with information retrieval metrics. Talk about a one-track mindset!

Today work in NLP advances by ``leaderboards'' and dubious, language-specific evaluation datasets that the same authors stand to benefit from when their proprietary model is praised for doing well on the evaluation criteria they invented a few months back. It validates the price hike for access to their proprietary models.

These formalisms that do work are at odds with Firth Mode, the preferred representation for Google (Stanford, OpenAI), so I guess we should be thankful they're still in the book. If you're interested in language, though, I'd suggest picking up a different book.

Foreign nationals present on US soil only. This is why we Europeans have such a problem with having our data transferred to you, i.e. because we don't actually have any rights in the US.

I would characterise our lack of rights as complete. Some years ago Americans began torturing people who had been handed over to them on the promise that they would not be tortured already at Bromma airport, so here in Sweden, and this was presumably legal. I assume that if it had been done to me, it would have been legal as well.
If we limit it to issues that the ISP owns, then I'd say yes.

It's actually a decent bill. It basically says overtime starts at 32 hours instead of 40, and says that you can't cut salary because of this bill.

I suspect if it actually passed (highly unlikely) that it would lead to wage stagnation for a few years as companies would say "well you got a 20% raise because of this law so you're good for a few years".
