kubesail has really nice UI for an hosted option. Another alternative I found is https://kalm.dev/, which is open sourced and geared towards configuring a heroku on top of a k8s cluster.
I'm not an expert in BTC storage, but as far as I understand such an attack could have been prevented if the owner invested in a hardware wallet for $100-200. As the final step in a transaction would be to sign it on your ledger/trezor device, and would be much harder to phish.
Of course masters of their trade can create quality work by overseeing the process from end to end.
That doesn't mean there isn't an opportunity to divide up tasks, build assembly lines, and lower the job difficulty so it is accessible to more people.
Initially I wondered if pg was insinuating that startup hubs could replace universities as the new haven of independent thinking:
> "People who would have become professors 50 years ago have other options now. Now they can become quants or start startups."
> "If existing institutions are compromised, they'll create new ones."
However, after reading through the essay a second time, I'm more pessimistic about the positive conclusion of the essay. If startups succeed by "make stuff people want", and given there are "far more conventional-minded people than independent-minded ones", then perhaps independent-minded CEOs making tools for conventional-minded people is not a rare accident, but rather an inevitability.
Given that the entire brain is arguably a collection of "chemical processes", how do you separate a condition that is "just a chemical imbalance" vs something that is... "you"?
A smart idea for the individual employee but terribly unfortunate for the company. Building cheap prototypes is a really good way to minimize wasted effort and gathering valuable feedback.
It's not hard to imagine them planning ahead. In fact you can argue that the parent company ByteDance has planned for such existential risk by setting up TikTok as a separate entity from Douyin.
NovaChat lists WeChat in the "Coming Soon" section. Out of curiosity is it even possible to write a 3rd party client for WeChat? Last time I checked their APIs are extremely limited.
