Not mailbox.org (!) unlike many have suggested. In last few years mailbox has gone into the gutters in almost every aspect (almost) - I am stuck there because of a large recharge/purchase I had done and they don't do prorated refunds anymore.

There are other options - tuta, posteo, runbox etc (I have just made a longer comment and I am sure you can find more on the net).

IMHO - we should not ignore other things when looking for a service replacement I mean aspects of a service other than privacy and for me responsiveness and customer service comes near the top or at the top.

Yeah I hear ya. IMO this is really important though and I don’t think there’s much of a story if this isn’t part of it. The design is clever but the resulting usability (and error proneness) leaves much to be desired. Not knowing what’s in there, like a closed envelope, increases user complexity significantly.

Sounds made up. I live in a very lefty part of the Bay Area in California where Teslas abound, and there has never been any kind of campaign against them until recently, just some cynicism about Musk's grandiose claims.

My impression from reading your other comments is that you don't even live in the US. If that's wrong please correct me, but if not I think you should refrain from making counterfactual claims.

If this is a stated requirement from your employer, talk to a lawyer. This is a common litmus test for whether you need to be paid while on call, even if you aren't actively working. Depending on the jurisdiction you may be entitled to pay (or trigger a relaxation of your company's policies).

You know how hard it can be to bring your newborn to an SS office -- made even more difficult now that they're closing some -- to register them for an SSN?

If they require in-person registration they should allow doctors or nurses to be deputized to verify newborns for SSN purposes.

Was that that big of a problem? I actually did notice that when occasionally LittleSnitch would alert me that Passwords wants to connect over port 80. It definitely made me look and I found it a little bit odd to not use https, but didn't think too much of it as it always looked like it was only to fetch a favicon.
I think that is obviously the case.

That being said, one of the reasons these things sell is that the majority of people sitting behind computers in large enterprises absolutely DO NOT have any idea what they were doing.

Once you get to a certain scale, the idea that you can "just be competent" and maintain high standards and configure your boxes the right way the first time every time btecomes logistically impossible.

Liability and insurance also is a big concern for large companies. The ability to blame somebody else for your security failings and check off all the silly boxes is pretty valuable. I'm sure consumer windows antivirus software would become a big hit again if you were for all intents and purposes being legally strong armed into purchasing it.

Sometimes I get the feeling that a lot of people are upset that Apple is deciding what's best for their customers, and customers are happy with that, instead of everyone asking their nerdy cousin or whatever. The condescension towards satisfied Apple users is really shocking.
East and West, No matter what you call this platform or forum, the vast majority of users are from America and Europe. The East is often viewed from an Orientalist perspective in the eyes of the West. However, when it comes to Turkey, it resembles neither the East nor the West. Our electoral system is not like that of the East. There is no fraud or any other kind of manipulation. However, on the road to elections, anything goes. Laws are enacted, changed, or amended as needed. This is the electoral process. But while the elected officials are chosen by the people, the candidates who make it to the election stage undergo intense training and a series of specific events behind the scenes.

Now, if you look at this matter with straightforward logic, you see that Erdoğan unfairly invalidated İmamoğlu’s diploma and that this is against the law. However, I can only explain the reality of the situation as follows: For nearly 20 years, newspapers, the media, news channels, and even certain famous figures have speculated about Erdoğan’s missing diploma. Whether Erdoğan has a university diploma or not remains uncertain. This is something the left in Turkey has always known but often mocked.

I want to emphasize this: The left in Turkey is ineffective because you cannot change the paradigms inherited from the past. Now, the discussion revolves around İmamoğlu’s diploma. But why? Because, quite simply, those who once criticized Erdoğan for allegedly not having a diploma have now been given a president without a diploma in return.

Was this action illegal? Absolutely not. But is justice in the country applied equally to everyone? Of course not. Do not perceive me as right-wing, left-wing, or an Erdoğan supporter. I am analyzing the situation from a historical perspective.

As for the invalidation of the diploma, if there is an absolutely void and legally null action, how can “acquired rights” (müktesep hak) be established? In the case of an “obvious mistake” the decision can always be reversed. Therefore, the diploma is invalid. Even if most Turks here do not accept this, states operate collectively, and only those chosen by the game masters(USA) remain in play. İmamoğlu is neither one of those people nor even on the bench. That is why, even if he won admission to the university, unfortunately, he has no real chance of being elected.

I'm afraid it's something I need to agree with.

So many areas where resource-based conditions just do not work with particular GCP product offerings and you're forced to give out much broader access than you should be giving out. It's half-arsed and prevents you implementing PoLP.

AWS has a steeper learning curve here, but I've never been unable to constrain down e.g. access to an SNS topic in the way I want to.
Anywhere Apple trusts itself is a place where they can trust a third party.

Anywhere Apple wouldn't trust a third party is a place it should not trust itself either.

It doesn't even have to be arbitrary third parties, it can be Apple's chosen third parties. But they'll choose nobody, because they love lock-in too much, and they'll tell the rubes that it can't be done or it's too hard. That's just bullshit, and they know it. They do it to lock out competitors, so they alone can juice their existing users.

The only thing that can open up Apple is regulation -- and as we've seen in with Apple's spiteful attempts at compliance with EU DMA rulings, it makes up arbitrary criteria calculated to maximally lock out and frustrate business rivals. It's like it's trying to come up with a compliance solution that the EU might accept but would result in as few competitors as possible able to actually use it, ideally zero.

How many users do you think call Apple everyday to complain about issues with their third party, knockoff AirPods lookalikes? Could you imagine why Apple could be protective of the user experience of their hardware and sensitive to that user experience being compromised by poorly implemented or nonfunctional peripherals? For every Pebble user, how many people might buy ripoff Apple Watches?

Funny, because the overwhelming majority of people and systems exist outside of it and are doing just fine. This sounds like the sentiment of a crab in a bucket who's feeling quite safe from the sides since it was caught.

Misleading title, it's 90% of the faster time. It's about 45% faster.

It's actually a little bit interesting, if you are interested in how we use language. You could argue that now you now get 90% more work done in the same amount of time, and that would align with other 'speed' units that we commonly use (miles per hour, words per minute, bits per second). However, the convention in computer performance is to measure time for a fixed amount of work. I would guess that this is because generally we have a fixed amount of work and what might vary is how long we wait for it (and that is absolutely true in the case of this blog post) so we put time in the numerator.

It's a very interesting post and very well done, but it's not 90% faster.
What’s the furthest a recipient will be forced to travel? How many offices per population area? What’s the current rate of calls and direct deposit modifications?

I met my (eventual) wife at 19 years old. We've been married since 2007 and the only regret I have is that we didn't get together earlier.

We've been great influences on each other and if we had gotten together earlier, we'd be even further than we are now.
Maybe it’s time to pivot?
Of course. But here we're talking about the opportunity cost of the founders and other employees so gross profit isn't as relevant. Context matters and the context here is that the founders and employees would probably have a much higher take home split amongst all of them if they were to work in the wearables division of a large company like Google or Apple.

VC-funded startups go out of business because they are unable to grow fast enough.

Bootstrapped startups go out of business because they are not profitable.

As a customer, knowing that a vendor is already profitable and sustainable is a big green light.
It can also produce a creepy feeling if you’ve had past bad experiences with similar people. My pet theory is that this is why so many polarizing figures are able to get equal numbers of devoted followers and also people who despise them: it’s almost like a disease that produces a population that has “immunity.”
I would do punitive damages, significant but not phenomenal, let's say 50k USD. To set a precedence and encourage them to make sure this kind of thing does not ever happen again.
I followed a lot of indie hackers and “build in public” accounts on Twitter over the years.

Most of them struggled for a while and then pivoted into some variation of being an influencer: Selling courses, selling services to other indie hackers, or just Tweeting trend-following engagement bait 50 times a day and then bragging about the size of their X payout checks.

Everyone talks about the levels.io guy as the epitome of indie hacking, but many don’t realize (or don’t want to admit) that his projects are making that amount of money because of his Twitter following. His current project is a simple vibe-coded game that sells in-game advertising, and the advertisers are paying largely for the novelty and to get in on the conversation. Nothing about that revenue model could be replicated by anyone with such a large Twitter following. Fantastic for him, of course, but it’s so far removed from what people imagine when they talk about being an indie hacker that it’s just not a relevant example of the space. Yet he continues to be held up as an example of what indie hackers can attain.

I think there’s space for individual entrepreneurs, app creators, and business operators. I just don’t see it coming from the self-described “indie hacker” space at this point because indie hacking has turned into a marketing and self-promotion meta game. The real independent devs are operating out of sight at this point.

I (male) married in my early twenties and just celebrated my twentieth anniversary. Wouldn’t trade it for a thing.

I suppose I might have had more “adventures” if I’d waited but honestly every time I hear a dating story from someone I know who is single I feel very lucky. When I look at the dating scene today it feels like I caught the last flight out of a war zone. Seems like it’s very easy to hook up but way harder to really connect.

Advice: no matter your age if you find someone you really love who has compatible values and goals, go for it. Obviously give it careful thought first but don’t pass it up thinking you’re going to miss out on (insert imaginary partner that probably represents something you want to improve about yourself).

If you are with someone and going through a rough time, work on it and don’t give up easy.

> Anywhere Apple trusts itself is a place where they can trust a third party.

This quite literally could not be further from the truth, and to suggest that it is true reflects such a comprehensive misunderstanding of both the fundamental nature of computer security and the practical realities of the world in which we live that it's not really possible to continue the conversation productively
VC funding is for sure less personal risk, but I don't think the other points are universally true.

1. Re: hiring, you're probably not going to hire your first FTE right after raising money. You're probably going to do so after getting a bit of traction. I hear most investors especially today will push you to be lean and do more yourself. Either way, bootstrap or VC funding, you're going to bust ass, no way around it.

2. Re: salary, yes, some investors will encourage you to pay yourself, but you're probably not paying yourself a "full" salary right away.

3. Re: selling to cohorts is a bit overrated I think. The fact of the matter is, they're probably all early-stage tech startups, which means if you don't have a product that specifically targets early-stage tech startups, you're probably not going to sell to them.

I don't think it's as cut and dried as X is better than Y. It really is all about how much risk you want to take on, if VC funding is even an option.
Exactly what use-case do you think LLMs would help with?

They might help people who don't know the exact terms or synonyms they want to search for, but they don't make logical inferences or detect contradictions. If anything there's a risk that they'll inject bias from blogposts and fiction-books and conspiracy-stories present in all the training-data.

Because the one thing I don't think you can plausibly say about the security software space is that there is a lack of options.

It uniquely seems to be fragmented and messy compared to most other parts of the software industry,(not sure why, just saying what I observe.

So the market situation looks very different to the ones that the DOJ was going after (like Google in ads,if Wiz was a big ad company then maybe the government would be more interested in trying to block it). Wiz isn't even close to having some kind of insurmountably dominant market share in their specific area of expertise either.

It protects against things other than the intended client modifying the data. Someone said we need cert pinning to protect data integrity in the face of MITM. I am saying signing your requests solves MITM modifying the traffic, so you don’t need cert pinning. Solving binary integrity in hostile compute environments is a different problem.

It's funny to think of a scientific office tool that doesn't auto-generate macro-type operations for you as needed. Both would be on the dull side, I suppose, for somebody like me, with limited expertise in how to quantify what I guess would do the kind of thing you would most often want done with software with the name GraphQL, making graphs, but it would feel to me, I believe, more like real business work if you were asking for each graph task as needed.
Definitely not the education that occurred there it seems
If you really need to read data from a 40 year old tape you must also store a computer able to read the tape. Most companies with large LTO archives migrate tape from generation to generation, sometimes skipping one. That is why LTO drives can read/write back one gen while they can only read 2 gens back. BUT LTO is the most common tape format by a LOT so it is pretty likely that even 40 years from today there will be drives that can read LTO7,8,9

"Now the same question seems to be coming from a position of customers trying to determine how much of a risk they're willing tolerate when doing business with VC-funded companies."

To be fair, this was one customer's question, not necessarily a trend.

The merits of taking VC are debatable. But I don't think we're at a point where potential customers broadly are skeptical of a funded startup. If nothing else, it means someone, somewhere has vetted you and thinks you can deliver.

Way to only assume a happy path scenario.

My last partner was in the process of a second divorce. One of my family members has been through 3 divorces. Unpaid child support abound, which he'll never pay.

Honestly I'm just happy to have a place to live, and a great career. First girlfriend dumped me right after I got fired.

I do wonder, hypothetically she met me a few months later when I was doing much better. We marry. We attend church. Our kids are bilingual in Korean and English with hints of a South Central dialect.

But that's just a fantasy. Just as easily we could be divorced, no kids and I'm just paying alimony.

I guess if VR gets advanced enough in time I can plug into an ultra realistic version of the Sims...
