First of all great book! Second I think the postulation of Taleb is that anti-fragility means you benefit from chaos or uncertainty. I think the relationship this could have with starting a new business is most evident in technology or software development.

Well designed designed code brings the developer optionality. While legacy enterprise software packages gives you stability or yield. It just works and has proven to work for a long time. The turkey that just wakes up every day to get fed. He is not incentivised to change its behaviour. But what if the time change, what if the market changes? The legacy software is rigid hard to change. You cant just implement a paradigm shifting technology cause your design doesn't facilitate it. The startup on the other hand has optionality. It hasn't relied on the same database technology for the last 10 years. It hasn't implemented a certain programming language because it was not hot when they started 20 years ago. They can shift what they are doing and fully gain from the changing wind.

This event has given the startup the edge it might need. Think of NVIDIA vs Intel. Who would have thought GPUs would be important. They just for gamers right? Change by lack of a better word is good. If you are anti-fragile that is.

I understand that you want to stand out and go beyond platitudes and canned answers. But for me, I always get a bit uncomfortable with these sorts of questions.

I've been on dates where I've gotten a barrage of questions like these. What makes me feel like backing off is that they seemingly come out of the blue and appear as canned interview questions. I also get the feeling that I'm getting judged on my answer. That some answers are more "right" than others, for example the article's question about material gifts versus experiences. Will I tick the box as materialistic if I mention that my best gift was an object?

Overall great comment, I wanted to highlight the part about "dumping". A huge amount of dumping-equivalent behaviour guess on in the software industry, I sometimes wonder what kind of market we'd see if it were prevented.
Would Safari even qualify?
One thing you could do: FTS5 has the `fts5vocab` virtual table [1] that has all the terms. You could provide a user-defined function that computes the levenshtein distance between your query terms and the terms in that table, obtain candidate terms that way and build a big query that searches for all those lexically close terms.

The business can try to decide what those 3min are worth, but ultimately the customers vote by either staying or leaving that service.
It's a bit more complicated. The reparations were a bigger concern in the early interwar period and hamstrung the Weimar government but a big problem was that although Weimar Germany was formally a democratic republic following the deposition of the Emperor, a lot of its institutions were still monarchists and saw the social democrats as traitors, hoping for a restoration of the monarchy.

For example while especially in the build-up to 1933 a lot of the political violence and murders came from the political right and especially the NSDAP, German courts would repeatedly rule the attackers "not guilty" if the victims were on the political left because they did it "out of the love for their country" (i.e. the monarchy). Even the "rise to power" of the NSDAP was a de-facto legal process following the passing of the Enabling Act, co-signed by the conservative Christian "center party" which saw the NSDAP as a tool to defeat communism, believing that Adolf Hitler would use his power to restore the Emperor to the throne and transfer his power to him.

It's difficult to tell how things would have played out without the crippling reparations but given Germany's actual history I don't think it's plausible that Weimar Germany would have been stable without it even if it was something that fueled the political right's narrative of betrayal. Germany simply did not have a history of democracy to build on.

I think one of the most genius moves following WW2 was to fully dismantle Prussia by restructuring Germany. This was more than a cession of territories, even the parts of Prussia that remained part of Germany were dissolved and integrated into new subdivisions without a clear one-to-one mapping. In modern Germany the strongest remaining notion of Prussia is a general idea of "everything north of Bavaria" mostly present in Bavaria (notably one of the states that remained unchanged after the restructuring - a mistake in my opinion). Prussian identity was inseparable from militarism and a sense of supremacy, even without the formal monarchy.

Another possible move would have been to strip German royalty and nobility of its titles and claims like in France but this would have never been supported by the European monarchies like Britain, which often had strong dynastic ties to these families.

The solution to the problem is to not keep secrets.

Which is better for all of humanity, anyway.
> "why not just update IRC to be like Discord?"

Because one is a protocol and another is a platform. To quote from [0]:

After 30+ years, email is still unencrypted; meanwhile WhatsApp went from unencrypted to full e2ee in a year. People are still trying to standardize sharing a video reliably over IRC; meanwhile, Slack lets you create custom reaction emoji based on your face.

This isn’t a funding issue. If something is truly decentralized, it becomes very difficult to change, and often remains stuck in time. That is a problem for technology, because the rest of the ecosystem is moving very quickly, and if you don’t keep up you will fail. There are entire parallel industries focused on defining and improving methodologies like Agile to try to figure out how to organize enormous groups of people so that they can *move as quickly as possible* because it is so critical.

When the technology itself is more conducive to stasis than movement, that’s a problem. A sure recipe for success has been to take a 90’s protocol that was stuck in time, centralize it, and iterate quickly.

Oops, when I saw how old the article was I just skimmed it.

But yeah it worked out really well with Libera.
You might enjoy Riddley Walker by Russell Hoban, which is a post apocalyptic novel set in Kent. It's doesn't fit the definition of Ergodic but it's a cracking read anyway.

Epic Games and Spotify Say Apple's Latest DMA Changes Are 'Illegal'
Yes. I worked on the warehousing developer team for a mid sized UK retailer (£75 million) and they had a home grown ERP system and it was a competitive advantage.

It wasn’t perfect, the business makes trade offs, they see expensive coddled devs who are basically a cost center BUT they get total control over what gets built and can align very well with business strategy.

Support is the biggest pit fall. All software has bugs, all software requires maintenance, never let speed of delivery happen at the cost of sensible levels of quality or you will suffer greatly with support requests which your devs will spend their time fixing.

Since it’s in house hire people who value stability over sexy new tech. You don’t want bleeding edge JS frameworks, you want tried, tested and boring. It doesn’t need to be a big React app, Ruby would be fine, a nice boring relational database would be great. Functional, reliable and stable is the order of the day.

Start with a small project as a test run and build up from there.

Oh and read The Phoenix Project, it’s an excellent fiction book about modern software delivery and the impact it can have on a business just like this. Aside from having some good lessons it’s also just a good read.

> What is your most radical belief?

This isn't a measure of independent thinking, this is whether they're a complete nutjob.
The average. We are talking about the entire smartphone market here. It makes no sense to compare only the most expensive android chips.

Third this. If the software team (at least the lead) does not know the business requirements, you are not doing in-house development. Otherwise, it is just equivalent to off shore development, that happens to sit in the same building as yourself.
The inflation is crazy.
I've been trying something similar, but using https://github.com/mmomtchev/sqlite-wasm-http to stream the database over http for a SPA without a backend. It's actually able to do searches (for queries that aren't super short) without downloading the entire FTS table.
My team worked remotely from the EU for a similarly sized ($100-$200M) US-based company in the print-on-demand space for over 8 years as an external provider, building much of the core infrastructure and services. We are looking for new projects; contact information is in my profile.

Time/Money.
Yeah, and also a quest seems like something that might be different every time, where a process is a formalized cookie-cutter pipeline, or at least that is what people associate with it in the context of software development.

When each thing you do is a unique journey, that's exciting. There may be obstacles to overcome, there may be learning opportunities, there may be empowerment in making your own decisions along the way.

Unfortunately this mindset does not satisfy the incessant (but futile) need for predictability that most managers have.
> The business can try to decide what those 3min are worth, but ultimately the customers vote by either staying or leaving that service.

That's still a business decision.

Customers don't vote with their feet based on what tech stack the business chose, they vote based on a range of other factors, few, if none, of which are related to 3m of downtime.

There are little to no services I know off that would lose customers over 3m of downtime per week.

IOW, 3m of downtime is mostly an imaginary problem.

Trip Bitten: How I view the US after 12 years living abroad (2022) [video]
I have had very good results using Spectropic [1], a hosted Whisper Diarization API service as a platform. I found it cheap and way easier and faster than setting up and using whisper-diarization on my M1. Audiogest [2] is a web service built upon Spectropic, I have not yet used it.

disclaimer : I am not affiliated in any way, just a happy customer! I had some nice mail exchanges after bug reports with the (I believe solo-)developer behind these tools.

For a web application PHP is likely much faster, because it does templating in a sane manner, while you need huge frameworks for Python.
If all you have one single application listening on port 8080 with SSL terminated elsewhere, why would you need so many abstractions in first place.
