Anyone know how this list was created or how often it gets updated?

Is this a joke? And if not can you give a longer description of how this is easily done?

How do you transfer all configuration to the new system and how often are you doing this?

Anyone have a guess on 1Password company revenue?

This is true for all startup founders even if not bootstrapping because startup founders are generally advised to take tiny salaries in exchange for long term equity. Even if not bootstrapping, they are bootstrapping by supplementing their personal life with savings or trading off on quality of life (no travel vacations etc).

As tech salaries have ballooned in the last few years, the opportunity cost has gone out of whack -- if you go read message boards of what people are making at FAANGs, the odds are stacked against the startup founder / bootstrapper living on ramen for 5 years because the FAANG salary makes millionaires with 100% probability.

For any 5 year startup to make up for that it most likely needs to exit at 30M or greater which puts the founder in top 2% territory.

yes chat bot interface discoverability is terrible -- in fact it feels like the system you would design if the intended goal was to intentionally obscure the interface surface while still allowing access to it

One logical reason for obscuring the real interface is to make the interface appear more robust than it actually is, so pure marketing, but outside of that I'm not sure what the value is.

similar to home assistants Siri/Alexa/Google where 99% of the creative things you try don't work so you end up with just using it to set timers and play music

That's because reviews are done by a single person from a large group of possible reviewers who each have differing perspectives.

Do you see a way that Apple could be consistent besides letting every app in?

This is a really good idea -- I have apps in the store that I haven't touched in 5 years that still get downloads but I have no idea if the app even works any more and I don't care to check

You also get built in dispute resolution and delayed payment

If they don’t do this then spammers will use their service en masse and degrade the service for all customers by black holing their ips and domain through all other email providers.

Are there potential solutions to the problems mentioned or is building a great todo list app not possible?

I’m leaning towards it’s impossible, but would like to hear what others think.

In which format? I highly doubt that someone could do that in bullet unless they played full time.

Bullet players are already on average a higher percentile of chess players so the elo is skewed

Web downloads work fine on Android

Forget Lightning— Did you know you can transfer Bitcoin from one user to another on Coinbase with zero transaction fees instantly? Any exchange can do the same. Centralized layer two scales just fine for many use cases and is working today.

Can you elaborate on how people got busted for an alias?

inserting invalid transactions is not the double spend issue.

If their hash rate is over 50% they can "unconfirm" a confirmed transaction by making a chain with more work on it. This is how the attack plays out in simplified form:

Bitcoin is sent to an exchange by the attacker, confirmed, sold and withdrawn for cash. Attacker then makes a chain with more work on it than the chain where the Bitcoin was sent to the exchange. Now as far as Bitcoin network is concerned, the coins were never sent to the exchange, but the exchange already let the user sell the Bitcoin and cash out. So now the exchange has neither the cash or the Bitcoin. The attacker has both.

This could explain why Orange County, Florida has relatively low transmission rates in spite of Disney World being open to hundreds of thousands of people a day. Mostly outdoor parks, social distancing rules, masks required, but lots of shared surfaces.

I don’t believe that he owned most Litecoins. That said, considering Lee publicly sold at the top of the last bubble, could this be smoking gun to a pump and dump scheme?

I’m amazed that a large corporation gets away with it. It’s super scammy.

Whether or not the majority of your company’s revenue comes from a single customer is not in your control. Imagine you are a small company selling 500 widgets a year then Apple calls and orders 50 million widgets. You have two choices: don’t take the deal or make your company 100% reliant on Apple.

Yes, even if this was not developed in a lab, every government in the world is now 100% aware of the potential uses for bioweapons. We should discuss how we would deal with and detect attacks like that in the future.

Furthermore, we should talk about ethical disclosure responsibilities that all countries can agree on for outbreaks going forward as well as what will happen if those rules are not followed. For example, countries around the world should agree that if a country experiences a pandemic outbreak and they don't take certain measures to stop an international spread and disclose updates to the world, they will be liable for the extended outbreak. Allowing a virus like this to spread internationally while covering up details where now more than a million people have died is really grounds for war. Even if the virus was not created in a lab or intentional in any way, any limitation on communication and disclosure can have massive impact.

This is a really good question —- earlier this year we had setup unused overflow facilities and those were taken down. Why were they dismantled?

a lot of the companies listed use google analytics on the exact page being linked

I don't understand what criteria is used to get on this page. As an example, Airtable uses Google Analytics. What makes you think Airtable doesn't track you? They clearly do.

Webster says either are acceptable now: https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/could-couldnt-...

I read a part of the article, but I'm confused. How is this different than making all our internal servers public and using okta or auth0 for sign in?

I wouldn't do that because any of those servers could have a security vulnerability that we're not aware of, so I feel like this must protect against that somehow, but I'm just not fully understanding what it does.

It’s funny because some places actually go the other way —- they start off only selling their own stuff and then they invite others into the marketplace. This is one way to overcome the marketplace chicken egg problem of having both buyers and sellers. This would stifle that.

Valve launched Steam originally only with its own games then invited others to join. Now it’s a completely open marketplace.

In the first video he mentioned over and over that was wasn’t profiting, but now it turns out that he is profiting through Youtube monetization. That’s a huge difference.

shrinking profits

What I find crazy about this -- no guarantee that the ransom payment would unlock the machines -- did they send 1.14M in one go or was it a smaller amount for the first machine, then an additional fee for each additional machine?

Also would be interested to know -- was it Bitcoin or some other cryptocurrency that was used?
