So did Microsoft when Ballmer took over from Gates. Until suddenly they didn't any more.

https://steveblank.com/2016/10/24/why-tim-cook-is-steve-ball...

> If you think the job of a CEO is to increase sales, then Ballmer did a spectacular job. He tripled Microsoft’s sales to $78 billion and profits more than doubled from $9 billion to $22 billion. The launch of the Xbox and Kinect, and the acquisitions of Skype and Yammer happened on his shift. If the Microsoft board was managing for quarter to quarter or even year to year revenue growth, Ballmer was as good as it gets as a CEO. But if the purpose of the company is long-term survival, then one could make a much better argument that he was a failure as a CEO as he optimized short-term gains by squandering long-term opportunities.
Looking for cofounder - Angellist, Linkedin Destroyer
I'm looking for a talented UI/UX designer/front end dev to work with me on my platform https://pushboard.net. It's a platform for developers, designers, growth hackers to get together and bust out their projects. There is no solution right now that solves this problem well.

Being able to code iOS apps and Ruby on Rails is a plus.

About me: I'm an engineer, I already built the MVP you can see above. I'm fluent in business development (mentored in lean startup methodology by the best), marketing, and also have connections to venture capital.

I've got a couple of projects that contain Go code. The Go code does not need to be the top level of the project. I just either check it out into the gopath or symlink it in (usually the former since I've already set up CDPATH in bash to go to the directory the project is living in), and the import paths in my go code point at something like scm.localdomain.com/team/project/go, where the "project" directory is the top level directory for the project that has no Go code in it. This is even fully go getable if you "go get scm.localdomain.com/team/project/go/cmd/whatever" or something.

It's not the Federal Reserve. That's one of the few institutions left that are run by humans! The lizard people are spreading conspiracy theories about it because that's the last unimpeachable bulwark of human resistance. And you fell for it!

There is no complex situation that can't simply be explained by humanoid, human-skin-wearing alien creatures. For example:

* Bad economy: Lizard people siphoning off a secret "lizard tax" at the highest levels of government which they then spend on their giant underground lizard carnivals. Fun for them, but disasterous for our jobs.

* Crime: Lizard people sneak into toddler's bedrooms at night and tell them story after story of heroic muggers. They brainwash children to believe that people who take others money at gunpoint are in fact the ones who will end up saving civilization. From what? The very same problems that the lizard people create!

* Global warming: Doesn't exist! The lizards have been stealing mercury from thermometers for centuries.

See, it's obvious if you just think for yourself and do some searches on the internet for "simple theories that explain everything".

Ask HN: I am looking for a Software Architecture _mentor_ near Cambridge UK
Hi HN,

I am working a software project and business idea that is bringing me to the boundaries of what I know and understand.
But I don't want to outsource the development but code it myself.

Now, my idea was: Maybe it is possible to find someone who could be a software architecture _mentor_ who I could trustingly discuss problems with every 2-3 weeks or so. Possibly for a small fee, free lunch or something similar in return.

Is there anyone in the area of Cambridge (UK) / London who knows some of the following really well?
- Node.js/Express/MongoDB/... & other technologies in this environment
- Python/Django/Flask/... & other technologies in this environment
- 'Deployment environments & workflow configuration', e.g Heroku, DigitalOcean, AWS, Git, Docker, ...

I just need someone who is more purely a computer science guy than me and knows how to build something that scales (Personally, I am an engineering / business mix).

If you would be willing to help, feel free to PM me or let me know in the comments.

Again, I am the code monkey myself. I am just looking for a trustworthy, experienced mentor.

I don't mean to be negative by the way, in fact I liked the way the author is passionate about the site.
Scaling product design with Blueprint
Simple: It creates misguided incentives in all kinds of directions. The simple idea that money is limitless has led to municipalities over-promising on pension benefits for just one example.

Who got these developments approved? The developers who made millions and extracted the wealth in partnership with the taxpayers. Same as it ever was.

Iowa Code Chapter 22 is the most transparent I know of. There was one uproar when concealed carry permits were published online, but the underlying problem is that Iowans have a blacklist of those banned from having a weapon, so the whitelist is a poll tax.

YCM can't require its users to do that, nor can it pollute the gopath which may not be set when it is installed, nor can it rely on that path always being the same or the installed files not being removed.

It's fine for a Go project, but this is not a Go project. It should not be forced to change how it works because it wants to contain some Go code.

"What exactly do you mean by [the playground is restricted]?"

The Playground is a very special build of Go. I don't even think it's open sourced, often because while you can't depend on security-by-obscurity you still don't necessarily want to just hand people the source to attack on their own. It's written to prevent people from abusing the playground, so for instance, the os package can't read real files, the time package returns constants for "time.Now()" rather than using the clock, and an arbitrary number of other changes are made to prevent abuse. How many changes it is I don't know exactly, but there's certainly a number of them. But, more importantly, the QA work for such a thing is quite substantial. Many of the changes would also preclude using the playground to investigate the new features; for instance, you can't test HTTP2 support on there since you can't open sockets or servers. Presumably updating it would require significant effort, and at the very least, it can't be afforded to make that a blocker for a release.
That calculation is for fully replacing all existing infrastructure on the basis that over the course of a single generation most infrastructure will need to be replaced at least once due to maintenance/upkeep. So basically it will cost something like $32b per generation just for the upkeep of the existing infrastructure.
I know lots of people in this situation, including more than a few with "10 figure" parents, and the happiest ones are those who choose to ignore the money and live a normal life. They might live in nicer apartments, but for the most part they get the same jobs as their peers and go down the same career path. If they didn't do that I imagine it could become quite isolating.

If that doesn't interest you, you could start a company or go to school. You don't have the same pressure to make money that many recent grads do, because you have a big safety net if you fail. So the risk/reward ratio is higher for you in startup land.

I don't see why rich parents should change your behavior. Don't you want to be successful on your own? Or do you just want to wait for an inheritance (read: wait for both of your parents to die)?

What would your parents think if they read this post?
Hi,
I am really curious about doing this for a separate space? Like computer science? How did you get your initial customers? Just hanging out in forums? I guess I want to know how you determined that there is a market for it? What's the business model? I see you are basically doing freemium model of free-content then selling study guides for 18$ each. Is that it? Are you worried about piracy?

Congrats on the 7Million visits. Also, I see your tech stack as WP? Really really cool.
> How do you calculate the expected value of your grocery store trip? Expected value is calculated by summing the product of value & probability across the complete range of possible outcomes.

That's the general meaning I'm using, but in this case the range of possible outcomes is pretty narrow--basically I buy food and eat it. The small probability of some of it being bad, and me either having to throw it away or getting sick from it, isn't significant for what we're discussing here.

> When I go to the grocery store, the expected value is exactly zero. In every possible outcome, I expect to exchange some amount of money for a basket of goods with an equal value.

Then either your grocery store is overpriced or you are being really pessimistic about the value you get from your food. Also you have a pessimistic view of economics.

My expected value from grocery shopping is positive: I expect to get more value out of the groceries than the money I spend on them: I can't eat money. The expected value to the grocery store owner is also positive: they weren't going to eat all those groceries anyway, so the money is more useful to them than the groceries were. In other words, the transaction as a whole is positive sum. This is how wealth is created: people make positive sum exchanges that redistribute things to increase overall value.

Of course, this whole viewpoint I'm expounding requires a concept of value that is uncoupled from monetary value. You don't appear to have that concept: you appear to believe that the "value" of anything is equal to the money you can exchange for it. That is not a fruitful way to view value if you want to understand how wealth is created. Notice that the "value" of both the groceries and the money had to be different for me and the grocery store owner for the exchange to take place; that is how all positive sum exchanges work and how wealth creation happens. If everything had the same value to everybody, which is what is implied by equating "value" with monetary value, the economy would be completely stagnant and no wealth would ever get created.

Because you would be asking Intel to trade the enormous margins of x86 for the minuscule margins of ARM.

Seriously. Intel fabs already operate at almost 100% capacity. There is zero incentive to play in the ARM space if you are Intel.

You basically just described why the Air France flight out of Brazil went into a stall and dropped 30,000 feet to smack into the ocean. All I can hope in such a scenario, as a passenger, is that the DMT kicks in and I go out in a dream state. What happened was the pilots weren't experienced enough in the emergency scenario to go against their instincts and with their training - granted, there was a mechanical issue of the pitot tube freezing up, but in depression, emotional physiology is also a mechanical issue of sorts. That crash, to me, is an exceptionally clear example of how our own gut feelings can be ones that have to be overcome if we want to survive.
Did this have any improvement on the conversion rate?
In a PC, you have plenty of room for interconnect. A system board can easily dedicate 25% of the area to PCI slots, and another 25% to CPU and RAM slots. A typical chassis has plenty of empty space, for air cooling if for nothing else.

A phone has nearly zero empty space. It has to be very compact, especially thin, it has to have a large battery, a large screen, and powerful chips. Also consider things like antennas, microphones, speakers, usb and headphone connectors that cannot be made smaller than physics and standards dictate.

A phone has no room for connectors between major components that would be remotely convenient for the user. Many connectors, is placed in accessible ways, would also work against mechanical strength. Good connectors that won't break after 2-3 reconfigurations, aren't cheap. Thus a phone with connectors will need to be significantly larger and heavier, and also costlier.

The PC argument does not work with mobile devices. At best, major components, like radio interfaces board, or a screen, or a battery can be made standardized and user-replaceable, likely requiring tools and skill. Batteries are easiest, but even these are far from standardized, and there are little incentive for manufacturers to work towards this. Users are content with glued-in batteries anyway.
What I would have done is divided out the number of slots on a state-by-state basis (proportional to population, say) and had an auction in each state.

I'm not convinced there would be a huge demand for H-1b visas if companies couldn't underpay them relative to people with green cards or citizenship. Certainly on the margins there are companies that are looking for specialized skills, but for the most part the industry likes high H-1b caps because they depress wages.

I picked it all up from college philosophy courses and practical application of philosophy (yes, it does exist, just not often taught). I plan to eventually earn a Ph.D. in philosophy and currently have enough credit to be between a major and a minor, though it isn't my major (CS). I skew towards practical philosophical subjects (social, political, contemporary ethics) for probably many of the reasons behind your frustrations, which I both understand and even share to some extent. Again, as I have said in another comment chain here, your frustrations do not make the field simple, only useless to you, which is a valid stance.

> "It's when you realise that despite asking all these questions and coming up with all these wonderful thought experiments that it gets you no closer at all to improving your understanding of the world, of ethics or politics or history or science, even the basics, understanding the meaning of life."

This has not been my experience nor would it be agreeable to many others. I think there are many people that find it useless, and many who find it useful. Just because you find it useless does not make the field generally useless to all.

You criticize my argument but fail to refute or address any of my response to the content of the field. In fact, you ignore it and keep using the assumption that philosophy is only thought experiments. When every replier has a similar opinion, you probably are better to at least examine it rather than pretending that everyone believes they have a "special" understanding of the subject. No one has pretended to have any big or even small insights on the field, or some huge understanding of even a single philosophy on its own.
Here's a question: Are you at all comfortable with the realization that a website as bad as Business Insider is carrying your story? Understanding, of course, that the grand majority of the stories on that site are out and out clickbait garbage.

I appreciate your points and I've been mostly ignoring the posts here and on social media constantly complaining about the new MacBook Pro. Howerver, as a whole there are signs things may be heading downward for Apple.

> The Watch is selling well (dominating its category), iPhone 7 selling well (same), new MacBook is too early to tell.

Apple Watch revenue barely shows up on their 10Q and 10K (see the mysterious other category), it is basically a non-factor to their performance and stock. I question why they even released the watch. iPhone actually is not selling as well as expected, they have cut orders[1] multiple times. There are widespread reports of users returning their new MacBook Pro's as well and switching to PCs/Linux.

FoundationDB was acquired in 2015 nearly 2 years ago. The others I can't speak too, but doesn't seem like it will make any impact. Think about this, Apple could and should have acquired either NetFlix or Tesla if they wanted too either last year or the year before... Now, both are too large and expensive for Apple to buy.

Yeah, I think we can ensure that V2V receivers receive what transmitters transmit. What worries me is that the transmitters will lie. How difficult would it be for someone with a high-power transmitter — or many high-power transmitters — to drown out legitimate signals and present a false picture to receivers?

Could an anti-social person cause a bunch of cars to crash for kicks? Could someone with an axe to grind cause a bunch of cars to crash in order to further his goals?

Remember the white iPhone 4? Hell, I remember the time during the switch from PowerPC to Intel meant you couldn't get your hands on an iMac for a month or two (late 2005).

> [...] missing what users want. See Apple Watch, See iPhone 7, See MacBook Pro.

Recently purchased the iPhone 7 after having stuck with a 5S for three years. I've got to say it's an excellent phone and I don't understand the whingeing. You get headphones and an adapter in box which works fine with my other headphones, though I stick with the supplied lightning cable ones. The shallow depth of field pictures it takes makes me feel like I've got an SLR with a prime lens in my pocket wherever I go.

I've played with the new MBP and it felt more Star Trek than any touchscreen laptop I've used. The NVMe storage in it largely negates the need for more than 16gb RAM.

> Tim Cook being passive and an operations guy with no founder vision or drive.

I'd say his passion for user privacy and commentary on his sexuality has shown him to be someone who cares for peoples rights. A good attitude to have when you're the CEO of a tech giant.

> doubling down on "strange" investments such as Didi Chuxing, and Softbank (both 1 billion).

Softbank completed a $31 Billion purchase of ARM recently. Still thinking Apple shouldn't have put a $1 billion shoe in the door? If memory serves they were also the first major distributor of iPhones in Japan when NTT Docomo were more interested in pushing flip phones.
Of course, a vehicle can still go around those road blocks, currently — a car _can_ drive across grass or dirt, just not terribly well. That's very different from an area-denial killswitch.
