> A lot of times people want to reduce product management to "visit customers, ask what they want, make a spreadsheet", but I think it's more than that. To do it well, you have to know the possibilities the existing stack could grow into, and also what it can't easily grow into, and set a vision that is well beyond what the masses point at.

Customers tell you what their problems are but they're not trained in telling you the solution. The mistake that's often made is that customers tell you their problem in the form of a solution. The role of the PM is to then take the solution, reverse engineer the problem out of it and then work with the team to figure out the true solution.

Where the technical/non-technical split lies between the PM and the engineers can vary. Ideally, the PM is technical enough to come up with new possibilities on their own and understand the technical implications and tradeoffs of each possibility but not every PM has the background or inclination towards that. The next best thing is that the PM works closely with the engineers to communicate the user goals and trusts engineering to find clever solutions to those goals. But the worst is a PM who thinks they're technical enough to come up with features and then steamrolls over engineering objections over the implementation.

Jacobs was one of my University discoveries, in the late 1980s. Her views on urban currencies led me to suspe t that the Euro wouldn't succeed. Her and Margaret Thatcher's critiques are disconcertingly similar.

There are modern academics who've continued in a similar vein including a chap from, if I recall, Harvard, who has a great lecture given in New Zealand on urban vitality and innovation. Edward Glaeser: http://fixyt.com/watch?v=r3Mvz-Mg2_A

And sadly, Jacobs is no longer with us, she passed a few years ago. But her books and thinking remain powerfully vibrant and original.

And there is also social conditioning towards eating horses in steppe culture, and dogs in some asian communities.

Sure. Until you're hungry. Then once you're hungry, I'm sure you'll kill whatever other creature you need to to survive.

That's fine, I personally don't support the draft, but still. What about the legal system? Don't you see there is a problem with forcibly locking a portion of our population away behind bars? After all, that's what the government does, "for your own safety". Do you really feel safe in a country where the government can decide that murder is a "crime" for which you should be inhumanely LOCKED AWAY FOR LIFE?

P.S. Extreme sarcasm above...
OK. How is that different from using functions? Conceptually, there's a function that does arbitrary computation under the hood.

(I think we are already agreeing, only that you express your point differently in Python specific terms. I don't care whether you stuff your code into a context object or something else. I was talking about having the full power of the programming language available, vs using a limited language like format strings.)

"This seems akin to suggesting that skin cancer is not bad per se" is not a fair analogy. What PG is trying to say is that the state of inequality can arise from a system (of incentives) that is beneficial to humanity as a whole (you may or may not agree with him). But your biased analogy isn't a fair criticism of his argument.

You jump in the deep end and get cramps, you drown.

You jump in the "deep" end with modafinil and you get a headache, a sleepless night, and people call you ugly? Why is that "not to be taken lightly"? People do a lot worse than that casually.

I was heading into the article expecting him to end up with a stay in a psychiatric unit, with long term memory loss or personality disorders, with organ failure or loss of consciousness. 'Drug nightmares' can go really badly.

And if the good effect was moving him a few percent in focus, do "the basics" ... do anything measurable at all?
This reminds me of geektool http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/geektool/ which seems like it may have been abandoned? It was one of my favorite tools.
Angular is HTML-centric whereas React is JavaScript-centric. Succint!
Does modafinil provide any benefit to physical performance, or is it purely cognitive? For instance, does it do anything when lifting, or playing sport or similar?

> Apparently some/much of this has to do with our state choosing to opt out of dealing with increased medicaid funding, so... yay... I guess they get to show obama how bad ACA is by... digging in their heels while we all just pay insanely increasing pricing?

Let's be fair here. The ACA said that the feds would match the expanded medicaid enrollment for a few years, but after that the states would need to continue to sustain the larger enrollment on their own. Medicaid is a significant chunk of state budgets, and doing that meant raising taxes, or lowering expenses in other areas, or taking on debt.

It's not as simple as "screw obama, and screw poor people we ain't doing it." In the post-crash years, while money was scarce, there was some real concern over where the money would come from, how much it would need to cost, and how states would cope.
> Some people in the survivalist and "prepper" communities say you can take "fish antibiotics"

This and food supplements, little-known or mostly unregulated chemicals, you can buy them online on your own.
But as long as chemical is scientifically proven to help you, then nope, you need someone else's approval.

Fish antibiotics' makers surely provide some info (bare minimum "not for human consumption"), so they are covered if people poison themselves. Human antibiotics provide comprehensive usage directions yet it is insufficient.

Actually I did respond to you -- and more. I argue against its usefulness in business and the STEM fields. I'm shrinking the sphere in which your argument is useful.

I argue that calculations are working-memory bound, and that common uses of time go beyond 12 x 12.

For time, we often go by units of 5, 10, 15, 30, 45, 60, of these only 60 can find 12 as a divisor. You don't get to claim usefulness for all time. For the rest of these units, it's working memory doing arbitrary integer computation for us.

If we're talking about months in a year -- what's the use case for fast mental calculation? Is this the little sphere where we say 12 * n is useful?

We're talking about a policy for education for all children here. Your use cases sound really limited, if it at all impacts later cognitive performance outcomes.

It's working memory that's going to be the differentiating line between "fast mental math" and "busting out calculator" or "punching in numbers into SAS or SPSS". It's difficult to believe that Taiwanese children are going to have trouble versus American children in time based operations, if that at all continues to be a practice under the common core.

I can't imagine asking some Taiwanese business man, "Quick, what's 6 * 12 in a business context", and he goes, "Let me quickly grab a calculator."

Can you do 15 * 14? I think you can. Why can we do it? Is it because we learned 12 * 12? No. It's working-memory bound. We're doing capricious calculations with distributive property via 10^n multiplicands.

How about 24 * 17? I think you can do that too. Why can we do it? Working memory. Not because we learned 12 * 12 when we were little.
Throwaway account because I just shared this story with a buddy of mine:

I, too, have received these "Dell" tech support calls and angrily yell at them as I hang up within 15seconds.

Lately though, I received a bombardment of calls (15 to be exact) in the past 3 days from the same number. I answered the one of them, and it had the same 1minute 10s message saying to call the number back regarding a computer threat they found on my computer (the voicemails are all 1min 10s).
These calls woke my kids and I up every..damn..day. The calls kept coming on my work and personal line. Without dialing back the number, I'll never know how this crap even started.

I feel bad for others out there who may actually fall for these kind of tactics
Aah, Wordstar, the worlds first WYSIWYG and doing it properly at that! Oh the memories...
$100 per hour seems ridiculous -- at that point it's more economical to go through the rigmarole of hiring an assistant off Craigslist and managing them yourself.
This confuses me. What is the point of a blockchain without proof of work and a vast 'mining' network to provide security? Without that it boils down to something akin to git.

You didn't understand the example.

Certainly this may be true, but I've re-read it again with your prompting and still think I understand it.

Your proposal destroys load-load forwarding, as the article demonstrates.

I'm fine a compiler that optimizes out the write to a value on the stack on the assumption that this can't be the same address as a passed pointer, whether that parameter is an int or float. I'm fine with a compiler that creates assembly that simply returns 0 here, with or without 'restrict'.

That you and the author think this example represents a conflict with John's "friendly C" proposal makes me more certain that you don't mean the same thing by "friendly C" as I do, or as I think John does. Really, I think we're asking for something quite different, and much simpler to achieve.
What is the fear here?

I'm not talking about shady apps you downloaded off some dodgy pirated Android app store, or apps where you agree to this sort of tracking so you get free apps (e.g. Amazon Underground, which the author is using).

I mean - official apps such as Twitter, Snapchat, or say Microsoft or Google applications.

Can anybody quantify what they are scared of, if an app tracks how often you use it, or collects anonymised metrics?
For me Spacemacs is perfect:

7~ years using vim
4 years using emacs

enjoyed modal editing in vim, got very good with it
enjoyed how easy it was to program/debug emacs
tried setting up evil, wasn't up to the task of configuring it

With both Emacs and Vim I had trouble having to upgrade my configs too often, but that's not necessarily their fault.

It could just be a coincidence of timing, but Spacemacs gives me most of what I want by default and makes it easy for me to customize.

I will say that the Emacs graphic rendering bug which causes pathologically bad performance on long lines has been biting me a lot using Spacemacs to do Golang development.
Yeah, but do web apps lock you out if you deny their location requests?
Because those are things that are an actual market. Health care often times isn't. You can choose what grocery store you go to, what apartment you rent, what cell phone you buy. Usually, unless your planning sucked, you have days/weeks/months to figure out what is good value, and compare prices, that kinda thing.

Health care, on the other hand, can be, and at least in my case, usually is, a monopoly. I've got 1 large company that runs most of the doctors offices and all of the hospitals in the area, so they don't have many competitors. Also, for emergency stuff, you don't have a chance to even think about shopping around. Broke a bone? Yeah, sounds like a great time to pull out the phone and shop around for doctors that would be able to set it for cheaper.
I grant you that it's less bad to ostracize "murderers" than "[insufferable,] young programmers".

That doesn't put ostracizing young programmers in the plus column.
If you do decide to call back, make sure you check the number online first. There are some phone scams that involve getting people to call back pay-to-talk (I don't know what the proper term is) numbers.

Given the amount of CVE entries related to such optimizations bugs, should we really keep doing them in name of speed?

EDIT: There is always Assembly, after properly using a profiler, instead of relying in undefined behavior outcomes that are compiler specific and can even change between releases.
Is it not? Paul seems to be saying, essentially, that because <things Paul Graham likes> cause economic inequality, it therefore doesn't matter.
I love that Apple is run by a man whose pretty vanilla personal life would get him harassed by the security apparatus of lots of countries -- it really gives me faith that Apple make a good faith best-effort to protect user privacy in their walled gardens.
If they could prevent/stop caller id spoofing, that would be a big help in at least the detection phase of phone system security. It's really hard to identify a threat if they can look like they're anybody.

Which makes sense given how much of a person's time and brainspace is taken up by their career. Why shouldn't significant resources be devoted to improving that?
Most medicine doesn’t happen on an emergency basis. E.g. if you’re diagnosed with cancer, or find out you should get a heart bypass, you have time to shop around for doctors.
Skin cancer can arise from a system (of biological processes) that are beneficial to the organism/species as a whole. :)

If I inform everyone that their iOS app uses AES, SHA-1, and RSA at the lowest level (codesign and Fairplay DRM), does everyone have to register? I think a plain reading of the question poised by Apple would require a "Yes" answer.
I think the analogy is obviously designed to provoke an emotional response, but it’s not wildly unreasonable.

The sun is beneficial for humanity a whole. But one side-effect is that you get skin cancer.

Alice argues that overall, we’re better off, so don’t turn the sun off: Learn to live with skin cancer.

Bob argues that maybe we can have the benefits of the sun while avoiding, curing, or reducing skin cancer. So don’t turn the sun off: Put your energies into fixing skin cancer, not complaining about the sun’s harmful rays.

Those two arguments are certainly parallel to a lot of other arguments about capitalism, poverty, and inequality. Whether they are particularly convincing is another matter. Whether there are other options is another matter. And whether Paul’s essay matches either argument is yet another.
This is pretty silly.

Also, Paul Graham's premise, I'm sorry to say, is sensationalized (by invoking concepts like "inequality" and "startups") but wrong. The premise is, basically, "inequality has bad CAUSES, but startups and technology are never one of them."

Only at the end does he hint at what I believe to be the more accurate analysis: AUTOMATION and OUTSOURCING lowers demand for expensive human labor, therefore reducing one of the main ways that money trickles down to the middle and lower class. The better and more widespread the technology, the more I can

1) Outsource jobs to regions with a lower cost of living, leading to two losses of trickle-down:

1a) local workers don't get the job, and the money goes to someone in another country

1b) either way my company writes the expenses off its taxable income, but my country doesn't get the tax $$ from the worker's income to spend on social programs, safety nets etc.

This by itself is fine, unless you're a nationalist, because it helps reduce poverty where people are poorer, which is outside your country. However, technology also enables:

2) AUTOMATION, which means I now reduce the amount of HUMAN workers, and once again it has two aspects:

2a) Now, the demand for human labor drops, and since the supply of workers remains the same, their average wages drop.

2b) The worst one: monopolies with server farms, contracts of adhesion, and all the power. Like Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Facebook, Uber, etc. extracting rents from users and providers, until open source disrupts them.

By commoditizing the providers and workers, they get squeezed. See Amazon's dealings with wage slaves, and its tactics with publishers (middlemen which it eliminates). But those same workers are also supposed to be spending money back into the economy on things they need.

It takes time to invent new industries and educate everyone, there is no guarantee that will happen forever, and there is no guarantee that demand shocks for labor won't be severe. So, there should probably be unconditional basic income, negative tax or some other scheme for people to KEEP BEING ABLE TO AFFORD THE BASICS even if they face no prospects of making money, which a growing unemployed class will.

On the bright side, automation will help wean countries from their dependence on an ever-growing population to fund social security schemes. Endless population growth is unsustainable, and countries are currently worried about birth rates mainly because of that. So in a global sense, the solution is: tax the gains from automation, redistribute the proceeds, use condoms.
Pushing a bad analogy, it means that you should remove the cancer, not skinning human altogether ...
You lost me at "weed delivery service". Weed delivery service is an amazing experience that is already a thing. It is natural that this service will be monopolized/oligopolized by capitalists given enough time.

Exactly, I think the author of this piece was trying to argue that startups aren't necessarily so clearly "on the whole, good". Who gets to decide that startups are good but small businesses aren't? PG has a vested interest in VC backed startups and has been an insider for so long that he's fallen victim to his own observations (see his essay on being an insider).
