These seem like theories, not laws. And imho, some of it is very wrong, such as:

Purposefully adding a delay to a process can actually increase its perceived value and instill a sense of trust, even when the process itself actually takes much less time.

5% based on fictional evaluation, but $150 of the last $300 mil raised. Certainly enough to influence marketing and positioning.

It's owned by a Chinese company from what I understand. I don't think they have a particular bone with Aaron, but generally just believe in deleting inconvenient controversies.

What is it? Seams like it's an implementation of ecc,but does what? A p2p chat? ::Shrugs:: I'm not sure the failure to adopt your one elusive product speaks for the entire pop.

Yeah, it's called the 'embrace' phase.

When Elon said he thought Twitter should be more like WeChat, I thought he meant payment features and the like, but nope, just censorship of things he doesn't like and boosting things he does.

Well....it is certainly more like WeChat now. Mission accomplished!

Teaching conversational English online can easily earn $15-25/hr, especially if you have an American accent. The hours might be weird but once you have some students, they become consistent.

Wrong conclusion.

The problem here they are charging $2,000 for a $200 panel.

I do not believe it adds much more to the manufacturing as the raw cost + sunk cost of automated design.

Also, I live in Vegas and am usually parked in direct sun, almost all of his arguments are completely mute in most of south west US, and Australia. Yeah, totally agreed it's a stupid option in high density foggy London. Author needs to travel a bit, IMHO

Always love these. If you wanted something more automated to spin it up/down in AWS, checkout https://github.com/nelsonenzo/tolocal

dang, that's a big gap. It makes meta's losses seem much more palatable.

Idk, I thought it was mentioned in almost every article that discusses the pros and cons of remote work.

Not all jobs can be remote though, so i'm not sure why one would expect all of work to be remote. That makes as much sense as 'no remote work at all'.

yup. imho, the high salaries we receive is a combination of both talent and willingness to do this rather unsatisfying work for long periods of time.

If this paid as much as say, brick layer, I would rather have been the brick layer.

Your analysis has some merit, but I still wouldn't agree overall.

First, he can't sell any of that 5.7%. Collateral is an all or nothing deal, like any other loan. Technically who ever collects it may not sell it either, they may hold onto it rather than dump it, but it is entirely their decision.

Second, he owns about 21% of TSLA (so the web tells me). And Twitter lost 1.14B in 2020. That is likely to be a steeper loss this year. Selling 1+B / year - with very little end in sight to the pain - will eat into his remaining 15% share. Liquidating 1+ B a year of stock is not a trivial amount and it will not be looked on favorably by investors. It will signal his pet project is more important than his very serious business - a business where investors have been all to happy to short in the past.

IDK, just my opinion. Not financial advice, obviously.

I have no choice but to short Tesla stock, no matter how much I like the technology or company. Elon's 30B stake he put up to buy Twitter will have to be sold when the Twitter revenue dries up - and with advertisers and big names leaving that path is inevitable. He really doesn't realize that once you lose market penetration, your done forever no matter how nice you make it. Myspace taught us that. They had a beautiful revamp once upon a time, but it was too late. Facebook ate it's lunch. Same will happen here, only worse.

The Martha Stewart of Japan. I find it disingenuous when they prosecute these small time offences that amount to a few thousand.

Rebuilt the entire app UI for Onelogin. The ceo - who made the original UI - was refusing to launch it. The sales team wasn't able to close a single deal on the legacy UI though and forced him to release it. I made a whopping 36k from the company sale 10 years later, so I have that going for me.

Well, yeah - For a minimum of $20/month just for the personal license!?! and THEN I need to still pay for my own infrastructure, AND run all the setup, etc.

mine is free and as easy as 1,2,3:

npm i -g tolocal

tolocal config -> answer the 3-4 questions about domain, vpc, etc.

tolocal apply. -> tunnel will come up to my own custom domain.

How did the compute power increase 15x ? Last I tried to join a server, they were full.

Cool list, thanks for sharing.

Unfortunately none of those solutions are self hosted AND automated. They all seem to either use their own ifra, which will be slow & throttled, or require setting up a server and manually editing DNS.

I may try to get my own project added to that list though, so thanks for sharing!

you could self host a website.

Or more realistically, if you are in web dev and wanted to show your work on your local machine - say when the CEO wants to 'check in and see how its going', you can just send them a link on slack and they can play with what your developing on.

this is cool and all, love me Tailscale for sure.

For this particular feature I like my own home rolled solution where I automated the process of spinning up a tiny ec2 server with an nginx proxy to a reverse ssh tunnel that goes back to my local machine. It gets a letsencrypt cert and modifies the route53 dns. All managed with a cli command and config file.

The other benefit is that it is completely unthrottled, which is particularly useful if your debugging some stupidly large react/vue website.

Im working on a feature that will enable basic-auth in front of it also, so at least a password would be required to send traffic to your local machine, if you wanted. Good for the "share your work" sort of scenarios.

tl;dr if you want any-subdomain.your-domain.com -> localhost:port, and you use AWS, try https://github.com/nelsonenzo/tolocal

sooooo....is Okta trialing a 30hour work week? Or just writing developer friendly fluff as free advertising?

I stopped using evernote after their drastic UI change (which was universally loathed), and I got tired of it not supporting markdown or code snippets.

While I found the product useful for keeping tech notes, I was constantly getting tripped up by the formatting. It became clear to me this was aimed at journalist rather than software developers.

While I support journalist having a product that is a good fit for them, from a business perspective I think they were chasing a relatively poor demographic with a shrinking user base.

It's a shame though, it was a great product I was otherwise happy to pay for.

I wanted to do this exact project - record audio all day and then have AI process it - to identify behavior outburst of my autistic toddler.

It's critical information for early diagnosis and treatment, but it's really hard to capture the data while also dealing with the actual situation. Being able to send the sounds he makes to his therapist could also be usefull when then are trying to get him to mimic sounds and talk.

With that said, is the audio AI open sourced? The part that analyzes the audio stream?

Thanks for the links to the hardware, also a really important part!

I think it's a matter of age perspective. In 20 more years the device will have an exponentially less information that you need to thrive, because now a lot of that knowledge and wisdom is in your head. The device loses a lot of it's value to you personally then, but doesn't mean the device is useless for everyone.

Well, not to be contraversial, but you could also try living life without a 'threat model' assessment to live by. That sounds very close to living in fear, and that sounds miserable.

I always wished I had a use for Wolfram. It's so big, bulky, and expensive though that by the time I get it all going I have lost interest into exploring what it can really do.

To add to that, the key takeaway is that they conveniently just shrug such risk off, because the alternative is more work they don't have capacity for.

I mean, it's not like dependency package injection have been proven to be a good way to hack back doors or anything. /S

P.s.- as a non contributor, I know I'm being a bit dickish. The truth is these researchers proved thier point in spades and no one wants to admit it. I

So, essentially AdSense is defined as malware by googles own definition. If you ship your app with it - malware - remove it, no longer malware.

What I need is that when I make a call to a service, it gives back consistent results. Ergo, when the app does do a rolling deploy, it will get the right config on startup, not some random version.

It looks like it does exactly that now, it just wasn't clear from the article.
