Yes. Not sure how it makes his argument weaker. There is a weak sense of community in US sports fans, where it is well understood that sports teams are first and foremost a commercial enterprise.
It is perceived differently in Europe where fans are attached to the team fo r other reasons and want to limit the commercial impact in the sport, probably for some of the reasons explained by the author.
Someone's garbage is someone'else gold....
It's not just the time spent on it, it's the feeling of powerlessness and wasting time you could be spending on something much more fulfilling.
So much more fun to say "no, I won't bid" after a few emails, with little work behind it.
The only advice is to not sweat over things you don't do. Do you suggest one should?
As a business owner, it resonates with me.
Just 1 data point confirming the parent post.
1- If I count page views on my site, no consent necessary.
2- If I count sessions on my site, no consent necessary.
3- If I count page views per sessions on my site, is consent necessary?
4- If I count return visits on my site, consent necessary?
5- if I remember what people bought on my site, consent necessary?
Related to 3 and 4, how long is a reasonable cookie expiration?
6- Am I looking at this issue the right way?
Thx.
"a no-complain challenge [...] The goal is to make it 21 days without having move the wrist."
As in 21 days without complaining.
If the bedrock is now supporting a significant share of the building, does it make it more or less able to cope with earthquakes?
That's the key point. I think about the worst-case scenario as well, it is important. But as long as it does not kill me or leaves me with lifetime super negative impact, I am not spending too much time on it, because it is an inefficient use of my time and brain bandwidth.
The reason is that statistically things turn out fine, usually not perfect but 99.9% not worst case. And most of worse case scenarios are avoided _not_ because _I_ considered and avoided them. Differently said, even if you start with 5 potential really bad outcomes, after a short while 2 or 3 become irrelevant anyway because circumstances.
Being ready for the lucky and positive upside is more efficient in the long run in my experience, and much more pleasant along the way.
It feels like a superpower to me to be positive when I look at all these sad and negative people who don't even realize how much _they_ are hurting themselves, not the circumstances around them.
Then go to tiny village Chavaniac where you'll visit the castle he lived in for a while, that carries his name.
"Part of the two-year case was settled just last week—days after news of the company’s CSAM technology became public."
And
"On Monday, Corellium announced a $15,000 grant for a program it is specifically promoting as a way to look at iPhones under a microscope and hold Apple accountable. On Tuesday, Apple filed an appeal continuing the lawsuit."
Especially about global warming, it is not a specie problem. It is possible to fix, and some countries / groups of people are better than others at it.
That's the nature of progress and art.
I bully a lone open source dev, everybody get fired up, I go front page HN, maybe as the bad guy, but now people hear about me, and total sign-up increase.
Would be devilish, maybe would work?
I am sure some figure out ways, but you have to go in dodgier places.
This is a new development is the last 10-20 years, so there is progress. It should help people trust the system is getting fairer.
If one is against taxes, and uses lack of enforcement as a reason, I smell dishonesty.
Still, so many non experts dismiss my ideas and prototypes. Without asking Why, How, etc. And feeling good about themselves, tapping themselves in the back for "helping me make my ideas better".
I am not talking about other domain experts, those criticisms are super interesting. But being a computer dev and/or being smart in your domain does not make you a domain expert in my domain.
The ratio of supportive people vs incompetent critics is astounding. Even as I have one successful company behind me already. The lonely reference at the end feels right.
To do this, make sure you have your window in front of you, and certainly not behind you (backlighting is awful)
If you are on a call at night, or in a dark place, make sure your laptop screen is not your main source of light: if someone shows a red slide, you will look red.
You could have this today in the US, it exists elsewhere. Yes, it would probably cost a bit more for the wealthiest people.
Until then, I believe we should not try to justify inequality based on irrealistic theoretical arguments. I see just a ploy to preserve the current situation by people in a good situation.
Because inequality and poverty is all too real. It hurts real people, unfairly. In the US. And it could change.
This is real, tough entrepreneurship, and I am very surprised by the number of implied criticisms about how not perfect your product, price, positioning...
The number of issues you solved already, the fact you have a happy installed based is impressive. Further iterations will make it even better, feels like you've done the hardest part.... Congrats.
I was seriously thinking about bringing some domains back to LiveDNS. I am thinking that after this, you may even be a little better at your job. Transparency is key here for me, even if you messed up.
