Execution in the article is simply having faster tech operations. Execution in a startup context doesn't imply that - execution is how the business operates - strategy, operations, hiring, marketing, legal handling, product building - all of that. Has AI made that easier, yes. But not how this article is soley focusing on an important but a very less significant part of a startup operation or the success it might have. Startup (even only a tech based) is not only tech product building, its a business. And, that execution incoporates all the functions of a business, not only tech product building.

This brings back memory. Definitely a go-to at that time and nothing better. A different era.

Google really needs to improve the core offering of what a phone is supposed to provide instead of using half baked AI as a selling point.

I have been using Pixel 7 for almost the past 2 years. But the amount of basic core issues are crazy. Recently,since the July update, every place where the phone cannot catch network signal, it shutdowns. And with the update, somehow i feel it cannot catch network signal as strongly. That is such a crazy thing. Last year, my friend got locked out of all his valuable pictures with Android 14 upgrade on Pixel 6.

My experience of Google is so bad with hardware that it has finally pushed me towards buying an iPhone for the very first time in my life after having been exclusive with Android OS for over 10 years.

> Today at Flock, we announced that Fedora Linux will soon be available on Apple Silicon Macs. Developed in close collaboration with the Fedora Asahi SIG and the Asahi Linux project, the Fedora Asahi Remix will provide a polished experience for Workstation and Server usecases on Apple Silicon systems. The Asahi Linux project has also announced that the new Asahi Linux flagship distribution will be Fedora Asahi Remix.

This should clear it up from the article itself.

For anybody wondering, argumentation here is this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentation_framework I found the idea quite interesting within my master's program during AI class. My prof. research group was trying to use this to detect fake news.

Please dont (over)analyze the situation. Humans are not machines. Each are unique. Treat them as such. This has made me perceived as being very extroverted and social when in fact I am quite introverted (I came to Germany to study). And this perspective works with all cultures. Engineers, exaggerating, have a black and white mindset and are overly rational and want to always have the right argument (and win).Hang out more with people with different interests and background. Life is not about your own interests and topics (or winning arguments) - adopt this perspective. You will soon find others consider you extremely social. Do not try to be a hacker with people.

Look if your are feeling "social skills" matters (I study CS and I know a lot of humans who are in the same boat as you), it helps to change your view of humans as not being a game, a machine, or something you can analyze and be better after learning the rules.

is there an option for full remote during Corona?

I absolutely love Idealo for price comparison. Before I buy, I search Idealo + product via Google

What does homelessness mean in an US context? Is it a state where you cannot even afford rent and actually sleep on the streets? I have read quite a few posts in HN referring to homelessness. For someone from a much much poorer nation, posts/comments from here suggest it is so so easy to be homeless in US than ours which brings disbelief to me.

And secondly, the author points she is "upper class"? How can upper class family or individual ever need to borrow loans and also not have assets? I only ask to gain some social context. For example, our social context, a middle class family wouldn't take education loans and would have assets, in general (even the many thousands of students who immigrate to US to study, the middle class student do not take loans to fund their education in US university - This is what always surprises me when I see posts/comments similar to this)

I was thinking about a tool as such and wanted to build after I finished my Master's when I would have time (as I work full-time). The experience you described is exactly why I wanted to build such a tool in the first-place. And, this is going to be really useful.

However, is there a Windows version? That is, unfortunately, what I have to use at work.

Learn to use the debugger and read code commit history. And talk with your team-mates. In the last few months, as a student working part-time (< 20hrs/week), I am on a PHP codebase with over 5 million LOC and 15 years of work, and I was pretty good with dealing around it within a month. There are lots of dependencies like you mentioned and at least three different "eras" of code frameworks and hardly any documentation. I had not touched PHP in any capacity before this for at least 3 years. I admit PHP is easier to read and reason than Java when afresh but those three things made me really fast to be productive and making independent production-ready features.

Hey, do you have a werk-student or internship opportunity? And, further, possibilities for remote?

Turmeric is a base spice used in many dishes from South Asian Indian subcontinent. It is good news if this has positive benefits. Maybe country comparative research can provide more evidence.
