I agree with your initial idea, but you lost me at "hourly rate". I think doing fixed prices for fixed scopes allows any agency to scale up to a certain point. (Instead of disincentivizing efficiency through hourly rates)

The wording of a video title is determined by the rules of copywriting. You try to maximize clicks and gain virality. There is no correlation to the quality of the content. In terms of website, I am not sure what you are referring to: acqui

For some guidance on successful bootstrapping, I would suggest to look into Alex Hormozi (Youtube, Podcast).

So if I understood you correctly then further lowering the cost of experimentally determining protein targets could be a viable way forward that is completely orthogonal to computational methods?

Can you provide a list of the top problems in that space? Much rather try to understand them deeply myself and build a company solving them than just getting a job.

That is not specific to AI and we commonly do not think of it as problem. We call it visionary leadership.

In refusing to accept that any contribution you make to society is in fact a business, you will be doomed to build a bad business. You will talk about the emotional turmoil a feature request puts you through instead of being proud of your s

This was a very interesting connection between headline and content. Based on the headline I assumed an article about entrepreneurship and tech. Even the first paragraph seemed to support my hypothesis. Snobby academics not getting what tec

As founder and main developer of a product, I feel that both the first suggestion of an aqui-hire and the second suggestion of getting a regular job at MSFT are completely ludicrous. Far too weak. Framing this as becoming an employee at MSF

Taking a high-velocity ride in a cage of aluminum? I don't want to engage with that at all. I am so surprised that safety measures such as airbags and seat belts are discussed. Obviously cars are too dangerous to exist.

Gonna challenge the last part. You can probably make billions with disaster recovery, but I doubt that you can make anything with disaster prevention.

Not sure whether I understand your attack scenario: If the database itself has an exploit to bypass the append-only functionality: All is lost, agree. But if some of the hosts are compromised which push garbled/encrypted data to the da

Sure, but that applies to any kind of malware and is orthogonal to the actual question of ransomware. Fixing the vulnerability is more often than not simply an update of the vulnerable server software, while recovering the data and bringing

I feel jumping right into __init_subclass__ without explaining why metaclasses exist and what problems they typically solve excludes the majority of devs on HN. Thereby limiting any discussion only to the advanced Python developer echo cham

How do you handle something highly noise sensitive like baby crying in another room while being on a Zoom call?

For some. For others it isn't.

Interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences. Did you do extra-preparation on the extra room that is now available to you? E.g. foaming walls or door to have the same level of sound separation? Which direction of sound separation is mor

So basically there was no dedicated room inside the house for WFH before? When you use your shed, what are the aspects that you came to value? E.g. is it more about the feeling of nature (because the garden is much closer) or is it more abo

I appreciate the downvotes as they confirm the emotional damage, but I am not a fan of misusing logical implications. Obviously, in a pre-Covid world leaving your home to go to work was simply the societal expectation of how to acquire an i

To put this into a context, we must look at the problems faced throughout human history: Major conflicts for resources, starting with a small tribe vs tribe conflict, going up to a full world war. A globally distributed permission-less syst

If you are interested in this, could you please answer two questions (warning: My lack of understanding is usually offensive): - Do you regret having children? - Do you regret living together with your spouse?
