I've worked in media, and I can confirm the "packages" that sponsors buy as described are totally normal in media.

There's a reason editorial departments are totally separate from ad sales.

FTC disclosure of paid content is extremely important and taken very seriously (at least where I worked and by the FTC).

IMHO Facebook doesn't have any reputation left to tarnish, but Teen Vogue screwed themselves here, badly.

It's almost like there's a reason the FTC requires disclosure of paid content...

> Just use the GMail to avoid the delay with fetching third party accounts.

"Don't use the email client you prefer" isn't really a great argument against it being bad UX...

You've probably built up a decent skillset that would be valuable to a growing startup, if you're interested in working for someone else for a change. Don't be discouraged that you're not an "expert" in any one field... being able to wear a lot of hats is a good thing for startups and small companies. If, for example, you joined a company as an engineer, your experience in other areas like product design will help you work with and understand the product designers there.

Joining a larger company than the one's you've founded might help round out your skills, too.

Most tech startups fail... yours failing doesn't make you a failure. Your other option is to take what you've learned along the way and try again. I've you've previously founded solo, it may be worth thinking about trying again with a partner or two, if there are some candidates to do that with that you've met along the way. They can help with skills and experience you don't have, and can help keep you motivated when you're feeling down.

Is something messed up for me, or does nothing much happen until the 1:30 mark?

I have no problem with them charging for their software, but it's kind of lame that you have to download and run it before they even tell you it requires buying a license...

I'm curious why you'd be opposed to throttling background tabs. I could see it being a problem if it interfered with, for example, playback from things like soundcloud, but I'd also consider that a bug. Other than that, it seems like it would be a win in battery life for people on laptops. Maybe there's some use case I'm not thinking of or not aware of though.

Hasn't Safari been doing something like throttling background tabs for a while? I don't really know the details of how Safari and Chrome's new feature compares, but you may be equally unhappy with Safari in that respect.

I'm with you on the other stuff though, I always disable Flash, NaCl and DRM plugins. I also hate the forced Material Design UI. Having a Mac native app look like Android is visually jarring.

I tried switching to Safari, Firefox, and Brave a few months ago because I was unhappy with the direction Chrome was going, but ultimately ended up coming back to Chrome. The big things that brought me back: Safari isn't supported by Privacy Badger. With Brave, it was that if you open a new window and start typing immediately, it would lose the first few keystrokes... though I just downloaded the latest, and that seems to be fixed now. I don't remember off hand what stopped me from using Firefox

> I would have made a very strange push for developing a simple RISC-V core

I assume that's just a typo/autocorrect, but it makes for a hilarious mental image

I would guess: a policy against installing unapproved software on production servers, systems that don't have compilers installed (for security, jq appears to be C code), or debugging on client/customer machines

It might be interesting to try... but switching operating systems is kind of a big step just to try another shell.

Or is there some OO shell that works on Mac or Linux that I don't know about?

Linux was the only OS on my desktop in 1994...

and 2 sentences after describing themselves as someone "whose definition of "fun" includes spending 6 hours in the middle of the night figuring how to get dual boot working with UEFI."

So the author really enjoys debugging boot problems, but a custom kernel in a VM is just too tricky? Is there something I'm missing that makes that way harder than debugging dual boot?
