Great response, love your project. I'm a big music nerd and did a bunch of work in radio for a while.

Personally I think that this project is really onto something, I can see music visualization being a really great integrated feature into a lot of different pieces of software, such as in a spotify player, or ableton, youtube etc...

I think that your idea is in the right place but your go to market motion needs some work as other people pointed out. I don't know if you're going to find a lot of solo producers, or individual devs willing to pay 8$ a month for this.

I could see there being a generous free tier and then having it scale as the use of the product increases. There are also other options for changing monetization.

If you want to talk about this more, I work with companies a lot to discuss pricing strategy and gtm motions. Feel free to ping me my contact info is in my profile.

Totally agree. But I believe we are at the beginning of the willingness to pay for internet services cycle. Many people can't or don't want to yet, but I think in the next 5 to 10 years it will get a lot more main stream adoption.

Google maps is basically the only app as I see it which is still amazing. Besides the whole tracking your entire location thing, but you can mitigate that.

They still do, infact they're are a LOT more. Just go looking.

Google dorks are a lost cost and low effort way of searching for weird machines.

This is an interesting site which has some commands you can look through.

Note I would probably not be logged in with Google while trying this, just so you don't get flagged for review.

I hear you about people offloading the work of their values being protected by another organization.

However I think that time has shown the following:

- The values of organizations can change rapidly within a human lifetime. - It's possible that tomorrow you're actions in the past are seen as a problem for these organizations.

What I mean practically by these two remarks is that it can't be relied on for any organization to have your best interests at heart "tomorrow". So I believe that it's in the best interest of the user to always be the first line of defense for their data and privacy. With regards to the register, not sure it matters what way they swing for political affiliation if the end result is that the individual has control.

Fwiw I'm also interested in seeing it.

Somewhat off topic. But I felt like this article was extreamly well written. It summarized the science while also not going overboard in trying to convince the reader that the bacteria referenced was 100% definitely the main culprit.

I really liked how the experiment was broken down so that a normal person could understand the high level logical steps between each section.

I agree with you, and your 2nd point about the b2b areas being important.

However I think the general math you do needs a bit more nuance. You'd want to exclude all people living in cities so you'd need to exclude the land mass taken up by cities to get a more accurate estimate.

Also I'm not sure where you get the 10% number from for people inhabiting the world. From this report they talk about humans impacting 15% of the landmass https://www.visualcapitalist.com/mapped-human-impact-on-the-...

Again, I agree with your point but I'm skeptical about your back of the napkin math.

Yeah basically what I think you're saying is that in a weighted graph, if there are edge weights which are orders of magnitude larger then the average it throws off certain models. Like nearest neighbor.

Basically just prune the top and bottom %1 of weighted edges to get an appropriate average. Would be my guess for a fix.

I think that publishing 3 artifacts causes a number of other changes which expand the difficulty of management of the backend of the app. While they do allow, hopefully, independent scaling and seperate recovery processes. Separate artifacts also make it a bit more difficult to do local development, and deployments become more complex so it's not a completely clean tradeoff.

I know systems kubernetes / dockerswarm which handle the management of multiple artifacts but that is now another tool needed in order to do development.

So I guess what I'm saying is that "just" publishing multiple artifacts has more knock-on effects which need to be considered. Eventhough I do agree with you that it's probably for the best in the long term if these processes are in seperate containers.

My guess would be no. Since social security is federally accessible, so I could easily see people just move to Texas a few years earlier from California to get around the age difference.

Same batch, not a solo founder. But I agree with his opinions about the experience. Transformative, positive, difficult, and it is what you make out of it.

I've been gaming on pop os for a little while now. It's pretty good honestly. I would give it a shot.

It's down QQ at least for me

Allow list their phone number to only allow numbers they know to call/communicate with them.

Restrict websites to a few domains on the devices they use. Youtube, wsj, etc...

If they want a new one just tell them to ask you.

It sucks and has problems, but its the only real straightforward and viable option I've seen work.

Most users don't know what the words sms or totp mean. I'm not saying that totp isn't easy to implement in the grand scheme of things, but for many people it's not straight forward to setup. Entering a cellphone number and responding to text messages is well known since we've been doing it for 20 something years now.

I think totp would probably get more traction with normal users if people started calling it app verification, or something similar eventhough that is slightly incorrect.

My 2 cents fwiw. Pop os is probably the best consumer linux desktop experience. Flatpack installs, company customer support, and a well configured Ubuntu base make it ideal.

I'm glad they're not an official flavor, canonical hasn't been doing a great job on their consumer desktop sector because their money is made via the server installs and distributions.

This is spot on. Source: cto at a small tech startup.

Bus factor doesn't really matter for a startup. Because literally everything early on is a bus of one, maybe two. Scaling is a good problem to have later on.

To your deeper point being that if you work at a startup to make your own life easier and those who eventually will work with you; write down what you're doing and get good at teaching/explaining process to people.

I think the main idea is ceding control to a system to make the kill, don't kill decision. This is the "so" part of the article and the comment.

With wmds, there are humans who make the choice at the end of the day. The loss of life scale is not relevant as much since we could make ai powered wmds as well, the fundamental question is "can a computer kill?" And maybe more importantly "who is responsible for it making mistakes? L"

I think I've heard this exact response from other developers who turned to wood working. It's a common plus side.

Thanks for the work you do. Handling controversial things is difficult.

To add some noise, and my own opinion which had literally no weight.

I think Google's ties to ads is the evil which creates the infinite money and computer and ai scientists etc.. however it's an extreamly negative part of their product suite for the end consumers.

If ads eat the rest of the business faster than they can deliver killer features which make them too good to leave then I think google will be doomed.

If their ads remain in check with their ability to provide great product expiernces then it will likely survive.

I'm optimistic that Google will do well.

Minor correction I think many of the first season episodes are still using construction paper. You can occasionally see their hands appear in frames.

But yeah after the early episodes / seasons it's cgi

To add to the noise: I like pop os. It's been a great desktop distro

Hangout on different forums

I think his point isn't so verbatim. Watch what you eat, consume more vegetables than fats, and exercise.

I used a local version of this type of product in a city I used to live in.

Main positive is as you mentioned, food waste smell is gone, and no rodents/animals in the trash either inside or outside.

Hey 10x of zero is still zero. :p

Great advice. Personally I think this applies to many long term ambitious, and ambiguous projects, not just a PHD. I had to learn this the hardway as well and now I really enjoy my work in a sustainable way.
