nice to see another platform for indie makers!

i've been using betalist and startuplist for a while now, how does indiefollow.top plan to differentiate itself from these existing platforms?
There is no free version and comparing to something like Jetbrains IDEs price is a bit high for such a small tool. It is made by a single dev in a market where not that many paying companies, so higher price is understandable.
Anonymously and “Log In to Post”? How do those two go together?

How _exactly_ do they do it? Whats the math?
I don't think there's anyway to tell FF to stop an extension from updating using remote files so malicious code could still be deployed after passing any moderation.

Seconded. The death report says I died after 2 seconds, but I actually have no chance at all to do anything, to control my tank, to even discover if the WSAD control works.

Also on Firefox the FPS meter says 40 FPS, but visually the game (the interface rather, I was unable to play) is clearly not smooth, clearly below stable 24 FPS.
Hi there, I'm the author of the blog post. I realize I could have explained "over-engineering" more clearly. I don't mean it in a technical sense, but rather that I approached the project more like an engineer than a founder. The key takeaway is to learn when to take off your engineer hat and think like a founder instead.
I can relate to this fully. I used to be a heavy smoker also (and also ADHD).

I think overall the health effects are less negative with low dose amphetamine (VERY low dose vs what abuse looks like).

Wouldn't that be against redlining laws? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redlining
Under Steve Jobs the company ate the fees not the users. You were not allowed to charge more in the app than via your site.

This is the difference I'm getting at:
"We want a cut but our users shouldn't have to pay more" vs "We want a cut and our users can pay for it"

Which is why it's specifically the approach of Tim Cook's Apple to it's customers.

It's certainly more durable than digital history in the archives of private companies who will stop maintaining it at the slightest slowdown of profit growth.
I cannot see where the NYT article you link is calling the Young Dryas Impact Hypothesis (YDiH) racist. The article reports a claim of racism that was made by the Society for American Archeology but this claim was about the idea of an advanced ice-age civilisation, not the YDIH. From your link:

The society also argued that Hancock’s idea of an advanced ice-age civilization echoed and promoted “dangerous racist thinking.” (Hancock posted a detailed denial of these claims on his website.)

I can't find where the NYT article is calling the YDIH "conspiracist". The article reports the opinions of others who seem to think there is something conspiratorial to it, but the article itself does not directly claim that it is conspiratorial.
this is amazing！
Isn't spatial hashing most suited to colliding objects of similar sizes, and with similar dimensions in each axis? (So you can match the grid size accordingly)
If you've got a mix of very different sizes and shapes, I think sweep and prune can be a better choice

Nothing I personally host gets that much traffic. I'm extremely capable of writing the automation to do things one would pay for with a cloud. I've worked on/built three at this point.

I stick with dedicated or VPS. Shared hosting ties my hands too much and clouds do everything they can to get you hooked.

Generally speaking, the more control you have, the more you may influence capacity/scaling. The cost/performance/reliability triangle applies. Clouds offer no value to me.
I can just imagine somewhere their is a guy trying to twist this into a neovim plugin so our fellow neovimmers can use ceunaiform for programming and note taking.
I remember cobbling something like this together myself using a Kodi plugin called PseudoTV a number of years ago

Definitely a lot more usable from a browser for sure. I'd echo other comments that a TV guide style interface would be a fantastic addition that would take this from a "that's cool" to something I'd potentially regularly use.
It can't be in alignment with YT terms though right? They will try to block it right?
> Fines based on gains and damages, not revenue.

That's already the case (cf. article 83(2)). The percentage of revenue thing in articles 83(4) and 83(5) is a cap, not a fixed amount. I don't think anybody was ever fined the maximal amount possible.

> And a trebling of damages where noncompliance is shown to be willful.

This is taken into account, cf. article 83(2)b. Not a trebling though, it's up to the DPA to decide, and cannot exceed the cap.
UI automation: record and automate your workflows
We're cooking up a UI automation tool about helping you record and automate your workflows without breaking a sweat.

We're in the pre-launch phase right now, and we're on the lookout for some folks to take it for a spin. If you're into this kind of stuff and want to be among the first to try it out, we'd love to have you on board!

If interested, just send me a message, and I'll hook you up with all the details.
You're correct, but eurotunnel cost was 4.6B in 1985 English pound, which seems to be half of $22B. I think the 22B figure is the total project cost, including the not-tunnel part.

Your point is correct though, I don't see where eurotunnel can be cheaper than... Any tunnel in fact.

[edit] you could also compare total costs: 22B for the eurotunnel, 106 for the Las Vegas loop. It's around the same difference proportionally.
Is this nazism or simply extreme ideologies in general? I think more people than we would like to admit will rally behind whatever they're compelled to by authority or culture.
Apple laptop chassis generally have 4 years in the market before refreshes anyway so although it felt like they were pressured and it took 4 years it was more it was shown to be faulty when it hit the market and then the next iteration arrived on schedule and fixed the issue.

"If you're deaf in one ear, your ability to hear and understand speech in particular goes down a lot, even if someone is talking on your good side."

This is personal experience, but it is the personal experience of my specialist telling me. [1] is some less anecdotal information on the subject. My use of the term "game over" was specifically for audible speech interpretation.

Rip that wireless stuff out, connect it to a nice fiber wire with a surface coating device, and you just invented a mock sub that if you improve its pressure rating could be used for deep see warfare.

Your response makes me wonder ... In the interview Kary Mullis mentions that no scientist ever has been able to proof that HIV causes Aids. He also mentions that test monkeys have been injected with HIV and these monkeys didn't develop Aids. Actually, these monkeys got rid of the HIV after some time.

I guess many years have passed since this interview (from 1996).

My question to you: is there a scientist now that has been able to proof that HIV is the cause of Aids? Because he also mentions a scientist who'd do such a discovery would be famous, maybe Nobel prize winner, etcetera.

P.S.: From the interview it doesn't seem Kary Mullis denies Aids. Kary mentions Aids is likely caused by anal sex in some way.
You realize it's true because the same people easily morph their "areas of knowledge" so they can write opinion column about basically anything.
That's definitely a good step but sadly compared to PCs still the stone ages. I want to use my phone with the OS I choose. Sadly the proprietary driver BLOBs make that unnecessarily hard or sometimes impossible.
Some but not all of what the author says is true. PMF is a continuum, but also a threshold phenomenon below which it is better called wishful thinking. PMF is dynamic and can be lost, but that is more a question of the M in which it occurs, and the competitive forces there. PMF and defensibility are two quite different things.

PMF is the sine qua non of startups. You should obsess over getting there. Once you have it, you hold a ticket to the arena. Then you have to fight to survive.

The idea of PMF is explored much more helpfully here:

Leaving the stupid clickbait headline that has nothing to do with the actual article...

It is pretty cool to see aboriginal oral traditions (of up to 14,000 years old according to the article) being used to map the rising sea levels over thousands of years.
Thank you for the update. This is really useful. It would be really great, if you could commit to an update a few years down the road at the latest. E.g. "I will release an update no later than August 15th 2027". 3 years in the fast-changing world shouldn't be such a burden and it would help to settle many discussions somewhat reasonably with appeal to authority :-D No seriously, having something that can be considered current advice would be great.

What you got now as new standards is already the result of multiple iterations of improvements in key size reductions and performance improvements. But you'll likely not get drop-in replacements for existing public key crypto in post-quantum variations. It appears signatures are even more challenging regarding size than encryption in the post-quantum world.

It may be worth noting that choosing the algorithms that are now chosen, which are primarily lattice-based, is already kinda a compromise. They're not the ones with the highest trust in security, which would've been McEliece and SPHINCS (though the latter has been standardized as a fallback). But those come with key and signature sizes that are entirely impractical for the most common use cases.

It appears most of the crypto community came around thinking that the somewhat-smaller lattice algos are now "almost certainly secure". But surely there's at least one famous cryptographer raising his voice that he still has concerns.
I mean you seem to know a lot about it so how about you provide the sources rather than trying to impose work on others as an argument strategy.
This myth has been researched to death, and AFAIK, nobody has found such a correlation. Examples:

https://obgyn.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1080/00016...: “in this analysis no evidence was found to support the maintained popular belief that lunar cycle might affect birth”

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15970864/: “Although there exists a popular belief that the phase of the lunar cycle and weather conditions affect birth rate, no such evidence was found in this study.”

⇒ If there is a correlation, it is a very, very, non-obvious one.

Besides PQC only password handling has some changes from 2018, which I assume was made because of TLSv1.3 and ECC, so you get the idea.
Does the public demand same day results? If we're tapped into the psyche of the public and able to channel the public's collective mind, the public also demands unhackable results, so there's that. You can't hack an paper. The public also demands that people stop declaring what it does and does not demand.

I personally think the way to deal with this hacker that goes by the handle DEFCON who is coming for the elections is to bring in an even more powerful hacker, yes, I speak of the hacker known as "4chan"
I think this article misunderstands the concept of product-market fit. Many mediocre products sell and with enough sales effort you can create a big business that only sells mediocre products. This shouldn't surprise anybody because most products aren't that great and most businesses make plenty of money regardless.

Product-market fit is not about that. It's not about whether you can find somebody who wants to buy your product. It's not even about whether you have very satisfied customers.

Product-market fit is about having a product that fills such a deep need in the market that you get pulled into an exponential growth trajectory. Instead of growing because of your own marketing efforts you grow because you can't keep the customers/users away. It can be a viral app where every user on average invites more than one other user. It can be an app that every college student wants to be on. It can be anything. But it's always about having some kind of self-reinforcing loop. It's about push versus pull. Peter Thiel referred to Twitter as a clown car that fell into a gold mine. Twitter had such strong PMF that all their operational mistakes just didn't matter.

Users make content. Content makes the platform better. Which results in more users. See step 1.

This is fundamentally different from doubling your signups after you double your adspend. Most businesses don't have product-market fit in this way. Most startups don't. That includes most unicorns. But those that do end up getting huge, and that's why startup investors talk about product-market fit and network effects and viral growth all the time.
> Then don't commit crimes?

But that's the problem. Crimes are profitable.

Suppose there are two insurance companies. One is following the law, the other one is bribing a mid-level employee of a car company to give them driver info and then using it to set rates and solicit policies. The CEO of the car company doesn't even know it's happening and the CEO of the insurance company does, but isn't telling anyone about it and it just looks like they have above-average margins on their policies.

As long as they don't get caught, the ones breaking the law are not only making money for themselves, they're the ones investors will choose to invest in when all they can see is the bottom line. The honest CEO of the other insurance company gets deposed because investors want someone who can get the same returns as the cheating one, so they cycle through executives until they get one that posts better numbers because they're cheating too.

Some of them will never get caught and come out ahead. The others expect that to happen, which is why they're willing to do it, and if they do get caught then they get replaced by someone else who thinks they won't get caught.

The underlying problem is the structure of the system. The owners want higher profits but are also a diffuse group without the capacity to pay detailed attention to how it happens, so you create evolutionary pressure to cheat. What you actually want is for companies to be operated by their owners because then the owners know what's happening inside the company and can distinguish between a company which is making more money because it's well-managed and one which is making more money because it's cheating and putting their investment at risk. But then we need to stop having megacorps with diffuse passive investors and instead have small and medium businesses which are operated by the owners.
Using 12000-year-old stories to support the thesis that oral history is more durable than written history is only logical if we have reason to believe that written history also existed then. I believe the consensus is that writing was invented about 5000-6000 years ago.

Still, finding that a non-zero fraction of oral history survives on the order of tens of millennia is very cool.

Open Quantum Safe, for example, discourages it's use in production, and recompiling nginx to use PQC-BoringSSL feels risky since I'm not intimately familiar with both projects ("did I miss a --enable-security flag?").
