Had to look that up - "The purpose of a system is what it does (POSIWID)".

This is so vague. What do you want done around your house? Why do you not want the ability to stop it? How unstoppable does it need to be?

I'm with you. As far as I can tell, the changes were less startups, more money per startup. Kinda a revamp?

It’s easy to come up with ways that other people should spend their money.

That would make it higher than the great depression, which peaked at 23%.

That would be quite a stretch of the CCPA. The businesses that are doing the collecting have to have to comply. In this case, Apple isn't collecting that info.

Same thing happened to me, but it was photos. I just kept the photos, threw away the order form. If they give random things to kids then the parent is not on the hook to make sure those things are returned.

Nobody knows, I'd guess many months. If WFH is effective for the company, then it can last longer, or forever for some people. If the health care system collapses, then it lasts longer. If the health care system figures out a way to de

It's so crazy seeing him pop up like this. I used to work with Tomas on viral facebook apps like Astrology and Birthday Cards. Obviously working on viral apps is not the same as epidemiology and growth hacking. He was quite a character

Does anyone know pricing on k9? Like could a small software shop or bootstrapped business use it?

I was at that meetup, and I do remember the Clojure crowd not being all that impressed. But it definitely came across that Arthur Whitney was a type of programming wizard. He had some offhand remark that he was running his laptop off of an

They shut down with 75 million in the bank a couple months after the pivot. I think there is more to the story.

I do it from time to time, it is cathartic. You live near SF? You can come over and we can burn our things together.

If you like journaling, but want to make a break from the past, then why not journal but then periodically destroy the journals?

With the water, there is transpiration, which is the water that flows through the plant, evaporation, which is water that goes from the ground to the air directly, and then when the water goes into the water table. With drip irrigation, you

Almonds come from a tree, the tree requires the water to grow the almonds. The tree draws water from the ground, then there is transpiration where the water moves through the tree and out, like through the leaves. None remains, all the wate

I was curious about this, so I tracked down the actual quote in the Talmud. The "land" in question basically means farming. I don't think we'd find that relevant today. And the talmud actually advises 0% to land / f

The government does actually have security policies / norms, see NIST 800-171 as an example.

Well, I could live with either taking the surplus from that specific program and investing it in the best possible way to cover for well-known coming shortfalls, or saying that it is a generic tax like any other tax. Then at least people wo

It's "looting" in that from the outside looking in, when social security has a surplus, the federal government takes that money and spends it on non-related things. Internally, one part of the government is writing an IOU to

A while back there was a Gmail ad that touted doing exactly this, https://youtu.be/zhPklt9nYas ...so why did they ban it?

I have read this comment several times but have no idea what you are talking about, but it sounds interesting. Can you elaborate a bit here?

Hey, I'm OK with ads generally. But being OK with a thing generally doesn't mean being OK with every specific instance of that general class. Google is a tool, the user is trying to do something specific with the tool, and Google

I'm OK to go to x.com. Some surprisingly large amount of people will type the domain name into google, and go there. Sometimes, I don't remember the exact domain name, like I want to go to pocket, but it is getpocket.com. Anyway,

It's an anti-user practice. As a user, if I google for "x", I'm looking for "x", and it is annoying that someone gets to pay to "educate" me about some alternative that I never said I wanted.

I'd say customer impact, even without regressions. As an example of something that I'm currently working on: - there is a need to add a single link to a page - some percentage of the customers will not like this change (perhaps 5%

Makes sense to me. If evergreening is fixed, then theoretically in ten years time every drug on the market right now could be available as a generic at generic prices.

The market for food is not at all like the market for medicine. The main difference is that food is far more fungible than drugs are. If a patient is suffering an illness, there may be only one drug that will help, whereas if one needs calo

What role is your SO in? Just curious so I can avoid it!

High energy high quality generalists are always in demand. Maybe get your foot in the door, like SDR or Tech Writing, and then work hard to break out of that into something more interesting. That happens all the time where I work.
