Anomie and omni/suicidal destruction are only a self-fulfilling prophecy only if you subscribe to, and reinforce, learned helplessness as you appear to with a chicken-little "let's do nothing because it doesn't matter" or "it's someone else's problem" argument.
Folks, regardless of the merits of one particular story or another, you know wag-the-dog FUD propaganda has the net effect of increasing us-vs-them nationalism ("See, this country, and therefore its people, are really horrible" stories) in various countries almost inevitably leads to situations like another World War, right?
This doesn't really need another law. If something can be heard X m/ft away after night-time N (i.e., car stereo bass blasting at 3 am), or louder than Y anytime (i.e., concert without a permit), then it's creating a nuisance under existing legislation. It needs enforcement of what's already on the books if there's a complaint.
And the permit requirement to operate a small R/C toy is ridiculous: this information you don't want the government to have because it will be misused similarly to how social media was abused in the Gatwick Airport (non-)incident. The sensible thing would be classes (Class 1, 2, 3, etc.) of unmanned flying devices, as with model rockets.
Push it hard on social media for 2-3 years.. Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, etc. Lots of useful, practical demos showing solving read-world realistic use-cases. Any time there's a release or press mention, add a hand-crafted Tweet that brings some infotainment value (just like any good public presentation).
If after that time, traction isn't happening: adjust prices or make the offering clearer. If that doesn't work, then pivot/try something else. When/if it gets to $1-2k+/month, then it's probably worth selling to someone for $20-25k and not just apoptosisizing it. It can take as long as 10 years or never for something really good and ahead of its time to catch on with insufficient hustling. HUSTLE! :)
And for heaven's sake, don't throw away a good team if it vibes and flows just because one project doesn't work out immediately.
It's uncertain if microdosing a particular ligand has any scientifically-proven evidence of efficacy without studying it. In many instances, it maybe a shared delusion placebo effect and/or socially-reinforced fad.
TBH: Aerion has more money, better tech and better technical, monetary and partner backing. Boom's timeline is extremely unrealistic. Aerion will fly around 2024 (give them an extra year as complex product timelines slip), and they have first-mover advantage. Aerion has flown numerous airfoil cross-sections on the bellies of research jets and is likely working on PoC for tech & subsystems, and design. Boom's website is mostly PR & wire-frames.. ambiguously indistinguishable from a scam without seeing other forms of validation (i.e., results (full-scale jigs in that hanger in Denver), partnerships, hires, orders). If Boom wants to secure more funding and orders, they're going to need publish more info to facilitate due-diligence.
Disclaimer: I'm apolitical because right/left is divide-and-conquer, divided-we-fall noise.
Climate change shouldn't be political or some far-off hypothetical.. no propaganda, rationalization or BS can deny the mountain of evidence that it's an immediate, existential threat that demands immediate, decisive action on the decatrillion-dollar moonshot scale (roughly the total, multi-decade cost of Iraq & Afghanistan).
Sorry, I meant to word the first sentence differently. I meant to say: "I'm sorry that you seem to believe that in what comes across as an absolute or very certain manner (maybe I'm wrong)."
PASETO seems to signal quality: libsodium, simple spec, platform-agnostic in the freak'n name.
I keep seeing the horrors and defects of JOSE/JWT, but then it keeps getting promoted. Maybe this is only an anecdotal example, but overly-enthusiastic populism in tech, IME, seems to have track-record of being a road to pain and sometimes ruin.
- a peripheral firewall that asks the user if a particular device should be connected.
The problem is, there is no reliable and nonrepudiable way to differentiate and authenticate said devices. What I hope this extension does is help implement such a OS peripheral firewall. What such a standard would need:
- a nonrepudiable unique identifier to know if it's been previously attached
- a secure channel (at least at the lower layer(s)) to communicate on to avoid the "http"-like attack surfaces: spoofing, interception, modification
The several risks of adding a seemingly vital feature set to a standard better be overwhelmingly offset by the rigor, completeness and simplicity of the proposal.
First: Grow up throw-away account, you don't need to add FUD know-it-all, jackassism. It's uncivilized and substance-free. You can sign up under a legitimate handle and behave along the intended guidelines, or go somewhere else.
That explains the move but not mandating explicit verbosity for a common case. Pony, for example, has consume to end the lifetime of a variable, .
- TDD smoke tests should run automatically in dev on save with 10 seconds. Bonus points for running personal TDD sandbox on faster remote servers via rsync and trigger on file-save.
- Standardize on 1-3 languages.
- Services composed of simpler 12factor microservices, not monorepo megaservices. Deploy fuse switching, proxying, HA/redundancy, rate limiting, monitoring and performance stats collection just like macroservices.
I think there's three components to every employment position:
- sufficient work ability, rarely an issue.
- teamwork - at work interface, negotiating, empathy with others. be relentlessly resourceful and useful, but get yours too.
- off-the-clock skills and interpersonal/appearance likability - a bunch of awkward single dudes can't say "no" to the socially-calibrated dude who goes out and convinces a bunch of attractive-enough females to hang-out with a bunch of random engineer dudes. be that guy, and you'll have friends bugging you all the time... turn your phone off and rock out to Spotify. :D
The odds against an eBook store:
0. Undefensible business model - little/no barrier to entry, few patents, anyone can start such a store
1. Getting advertising and distribution at scale
On the plus side:
2. It might work at a tiny scale for niche categories/communities/local businesses.
Otherwise, I wouldn't waste too much time on it. I would something that's more difficult to copy or emulate.
