He recently did this, https://twitter.com/SomeonesAnIdiot/status/12379197037812940... claiming something along the lines of 'it's not a big deal'

natrik··on Netflix was the top stock of the decade
It's hilarious how much production has not been their forte. Aside from a few hits like Stranger Things, most of their originals, which they need to pan out for future success (instead of paying 100 million for Friends) are absolute rubbish.

Great article.

Important takeaways for me -

`Being employed by someone is by its very definition, an exploitative relationship, even if your job is great. Your employer can only afford to hire you if you make more money than you cost (again, with a few exceptions of course) so no matter what you are getting paid less than your true value.`

`It’s much, much easier to get to the top, or near the top of the wordpress plugin directory than it is google (essentially it’s making sure the description of your plugin has the right keywords, and then you’ll be there essentially instantly).`

natrik··on How fashion startups get accepted into tech accelerators
Key takeaways:

Fashion companies are looking to invest in “enabling” startups that help them implement new business models or technologies.

Venture capitalists and incubator executives like founders who don’t gloss over the challenges they face.

Founders should have concrete data on the competition and potential consumers, as well as preliminary results of having tested their idea.

Disregarding the amusement from the game you might get, why waste time when attempting to go through a door. The rest of the class might be annoyed at waiting while you decide who goes through the door first...

natrik··on Is the era of the $100 graphing calculator coming to an end?
In regards to the rest of the posts stating its because of lack of functionality rather than functionality, why not design and write tests (math tests specifically) so that no calculator is required. Core Calculus, Stats, etc. concepts are testable without exact numerical precision. Substitute variables if needed, or have end results allowable in non reduced formats.

I am going for a minimal look however and still working on projects to put on the site.
natrik··on Personal Website for Programmers
Yeah I was aiming to keep things super minimalistic, I’m just getting started with a web portfolio and I’m still in undergrad. The website was by no means a finished product, not sure what CSP or HSTS are but I’ll look into them. I use cloud flare for the SSL cert so they should update?

Just disabled right clicking, I was playing around and thought it was interesting at the time. CMD-OPTION-I and the browser toolbar still allow access to it, might reenable it though with all the feedback though!

Showcasing my personal website here: [link redacted]

I’m going for a very minimalistic look and it’s still a work in progress, but I’m aiming to keep load times fast, minimal JS, etc.

Features I’m thinking of adding - a links page showcasing interesting links on the internet

natrik··on Why is modern web development so complicated?
Also companies aim to maximize the margins.

If profit is currently $800,000/year and adding 1 software developer at $120,000/year salary (+benefits, hidden costs...) can lead to $800,001 profit, the company would do it.

natrik··on Click farms: a shadowy internet industry is booming in China
I believe that's what humanity should strive for, but looking at a labourer making $5 a day, it would be easier for him to 'hate the rich' neighbour who makes $10 a day and can afford an Air Conditioner than appreciate the fact that he is well off compared to his grandfather or people in neighbouring villages making $1 a day in terms of health, etc.

Also the experiment of being given the choice of either getting nothing or getting $X and giving their worst enemy 2*$X. Small groups often compete against each other, "keeping up with the Joneses", and while it is a sort of hedonistic treadmill, it's an easy way to gain satiety.
