You absolutely can do it for doctors. This is what multi-doctor practices are for. Most people don't see regular GPs anymore; they go to multi-doctor practices that hire a half dozen doctors, and when they walk in, they see whatever doctor is on duty at the moment. Same with nurses: let's face it... do you even remember if you've seen the same nurse twice at the doctor's office?

And retail is more flexible than you might think. My mom works retail. If she needs to be out on a certain day, she'll just swap with a co-worker. Her company even has a website where you can offer up your shifts to your coworkers and pick up shifts offered up by your coworkers.

You also mentioned delivery: that's currently being subsumed by the gig economy. UberEats, Amazon Prime Now, and Postmates all use a business model where requests are dispatched to whatever drivers happen to be online and available for orders at the time.

It's amazing how flexible things can get when you hire a huge pool of warm bodies, and if some of them don't show up, you just have the others do double duty.
Actually, I would really just be happy with better docs. In code search, for example, this appears to work:

foo AND bar NOT baz OR fizz

So, it supports AND, NOT, and OR. Nowhere, though, does it say that. I don't know if I can group these to get around precedence either. Parenthesis are ignored. It does mention NOT somewhere. And, there's no navigation to search help by the search button. I had to google to find out any help was available.

Also, it ignores some characters for unknown reasons. Like $, for example. That's a meaningful sigil in Perl, PHP, and so on...it's quite frustrating that it's ignored.
This is bullshit. The U.S. should be required to treat its citizens in a constitutional manner regardless of where they are located.

The difference with twitter is they could fire their way to profitability.

2016: revenue $2.25B; $.9B cost of revenue; R&D $.71B; sales & marketing $.957B; G&A $.29B -> loss from operations ($.367B).

Someone could take an axe to those costs and get the company comfortably profitable.

Interesting read. Looks like Linux / Free Software is not the problem in itself but a lack of updates and bad drivers / hardware support and MS office file formats broke their neck.

But they have an organisational structure where demands from users get stuck between departments and improvements/testing does not work. Fixes and updates are not delivered on time and contain new problems. There is infighting between departments that have to account for their needs and this leads to local modifications that cause problems.

Issues they found are printing, software bugs and problems displaying documents. Quite a big percentage (30-40%) still running KDE 3.5 and Ubuntu 10.04 with OpenOffice 2? 3?

They had no Windows concept until 2012 and before that every department that wanted to use Windows had to roll their own and that led to installations without AD and updates. They still run XP and 2000 on 30% of Windows machines.

They can also only pay below average and Munich is expensive so it's probably not a first choice for IT guys. Additionally they don't have a budget for new hardware.
Email is fine, don't disrupt it. Make it better instead.

Blackberry got it mostly right with Hub - get all your emails, messages, whatevers into one place and let you work out how you want to organise it all. Something like that but a bit smarter (like Gmail's auto sorting of promotions, updates etc).

If I could have one pane of glass to look at for my emails, slack/skype, text messages, social media (business related of course) - I'd happily pay money for that.
Keeping the stereotype of software engineers in mind, I think it's funny that posts attempting to be funny are down-voted.
This is why:
"For software with several releases over multiple years, it's okay to use a range (“2008-2010”) instead of listing individual years (“2008, 2009, 2010”) if and only if every year in the range, inclusive, really is a “copyrightable” year that would be listed individually; and you make an explicit statement in your documentation about this usage."

Can't you just screen-record it when you first get the access?
So, theoretically, you could start a wireless company by getting some spectrum from a TV station and then showing that the emissions will be similar enough that the FCC will be fine with it.

The problem is that to provide competitive wireless service, you often need to assemble licenses for a large enough geographic area and many existing licenses will be geographically constrained. If I negotiate with Channel X in New York, that doesn't mean that same channel will sell to me in Boston. That makes it very hard to standardize a band. Worse, because of the spacing for broadcast channels, you might not be able to use a frequency in an adjacent market. Plus, how close to the boundary of the station's radius can you put a cell site?

Plus, with a UHF TV station, you're talking about a 6MHz block. Adjacent channels aren't available within a market. Maybe 6 stations in a market? The big 4 aren't likely to shut down, but are more likely willing to move, but then it's really the FCC that's accommodating a bunch of that value. It gets a little complicated.

I mean, this auction is going to be clearing 84MHz of spectrum without requiring a lot of stations shutting down by re-packing them. If you bought 4 stations in a market, you'd have 24MHz and be down 4 television stations (which a lot of people still use). By splitting off the band, they're able to use most of it rather than having to coordinate market to market with the old broadcast TV.

Honestly, I wish that the FCC could/would mandate that they can force in-kind trades for minimal money because $10B going to the broadcasters seems like a lot.

The process is easier when you own a band (like Dish) and can get the FCC to allow you to use it in a new way like authorizing terrestrial usage rather than just satellite.

Secondary markets can be great, but communication services often means band standardization and enough geographic area that people will use your service.
I think the question is premised in a way that sort of misses the mark. Outside of the huckster to grifter spectrum, it's less a matter of a person convincing people to pay than it is a matter of the proposed product convincing people to pay. Or to put it another way, if people can't wait to give you money, you might have a good idea for a product.

In the same vein, after a couple experiences with hallucinogens, I've started having some amusingly pedestrian reactions to some of the effects. I still enjoy them all the same.

For example, when I look at a tree and notice that the clumps of leaves all have the same shape, I'll just immediately blurt out something like, "Well that doesn't seem correct," almost as a reflex. They keyword of course being "seem."

There's no reason those clumps of leaves can't all be the same shape, but my brain seems to want to reconcile what I'm seeing with what I know is pretty unlikely, but not impossible. I've had similar reactions to leaves on the ground arranging into gridlike patterns at first glance. I see no reason why the leaves can't naturally fall into a grid pattern, and I likely won't notice minor variances in how they're spaced out if they actually were in that pattern.

All in all, some of the most positive and personally insightful experiences I've had.

While not a how-to guide, the Z80 book by William Barden and published by Howard Sams, has been placed online. I believe the same book was printed and sold by Radio Shack.

I read that book after Don Lancaster's TTL Cookbook, also published by Howard Sams. That was around 1981, while I was in high school, and I had practically no electronics knowledge before that. Those books were extremely clearly written, and even today provide the foundation of my knowledge of microprocessors and digital logic. I never actually built or programmed a Z80 machine, but the basic knowledge was readily applicable to 6502 and 8088 hardware and software, and even to today's microcontrollers.

Because of the relative simplicity of those systems, I think they are still a good place for anybody to start. Those articles by Steve Ciarcia too. What a genius, at making the microcomputer revolution accessible to hobbyists.

I loaned those books to my best friend, who vanished with them when his family became missionaries, but I don't think he did it out of malice. I'm glad that I can find them online today, just to take me back to those exciting years.
I've worked at a few small to medium sized businesses that went through layoffs. At that scale, you can corner the CEO and ask them about it (i only asked years after the event).

There's no easy way out. I'm sure the big guys are all run by sociopaths, but the few i talked to really struggled with it. It really boils down to, some people are out of a job today, or everyone is out of a job in 6 months.

This also includes the early detection of impending doom where everybody takes a 10% paycut - executives take a lot more (for a while anyway). So you can get away without a layoff. That guy felt the business would have been better if he let 10% go. The one time event can start healing immediately. That twice a month reminder of how much less you're making keeps the wound open a lot longer.

I've never met one who didn't (effectively) say "I failed and those folks paid the price"

While (1) is indisputable and (3) is inevitable, I don't agree with (2). We are saturated in this cheaper content but its purpose and audience is different. Travel writing has always been a pretty niche audience. Seeing what a place looks like in pictures is radically different than experiencing it deeply, whether in person or through traveling writing. How much do people value depth of experience these days? The shallows of the Internet have taken their toll on us. I think that's what we should be concerned with: depth and authenticity.

I was not "taught" much to do with a manual transmission, but now I think I have a pretty good grasp of it. I've never done a hand-brake turn though. At first, I even struggled because the brief instruction I had had was from a used-car salesman and I barely learned enough to get my first manual transmission-equipped car off that lot. But I learned hand-brake hill-holding and foot-brake hill-holding, eventually, by trying them out when consequence-free opportunities presented themselves. There is a maneuver in turns, when you might need to make a gear change in a turn, that calls for manipulating the brakes, clutch and gas in coordination with the gear change, so the hand brake in that situation would not be right and your hands are full anyway. The goal of this maneuver is to maintain smooth momentum and change gears. So I think people should learn all the techniques.
I can't think of a society where defection from strangers is more likely than cooperation.
Per my other reply, the case he was dissenting about was not about being compelled to provide the combination for a lock. The dissent simply contained a supreme court judge's opinion regarding combination locks. If you can find actual caselaw for combination locks, I'll take it. Otherwise, I'll take the supreme court justice's opinion.

Chrome also has an accessibility option for this. That discovery solved my problems with a lot of sites.
Correct. A difference is they start by thinking of (and running) the rail network as a whole system of supporting lines. Then add high speed railway segments to the network like expressways along key routes. This is what I think CA should do/have done. It's not too late actually, they could set up a "Caltrak". Develop a state wide rail plan that covered everything but urban metros, and begin buying assets/access and merging them into one whole network. What the CAHSR is building could continue, maybe with some adaptations of that plan, to just be those "expressway" sections mentioned.
If it is that important to reliability why isn't all software failing around us?

> Is this clear, though?

I've yet to see any study convincingly refute insulin's effect on fat uptake (also: we've known this for like a hundred years).

I don't really disagree with anything else you've said, but here's why this topic tends to get to me: with most other illnesses, we don't automatically assume the worst about the other person and assume it was their behavior that caused it. (while, incidentally, knowing nothing about their behavior). If someone got brain cancer, we wouldn't be like "looks like you used your phone too much!", and if someone is going bald you wouldn't be like "looks like you accidentally replaced your shampoo with Nair!"

Obesity is a symptom of quite a few underlying diseases. You can become obese from overeating, sure, but you can also become obese by getting a brain tumor in the wrong spot, or because you handle specific foods poorly, or you have endocrine issues, or your gut bacteria have become unhealthy, or... (lots of reasons). We act like obesity is the cause to everything, when it's often just a symptom.

When people frame this in moral terms ("you're fat because you're a glutton"), it just strikes me as clueless, because we have this rising obesity epidemic on our hands, and it seems really unlikely that somehow our generation is special in terms of just not being able to resist an extra slice of pizza.
> GitHub identifies people via their SSH key, not via a "name" or email address.

Contrary to this, GitHub leans heavily on email addresses to identify contributors—in fact it may be correct to say it relies entirely on email addresses. This comes from both the documentation[1] and is borne out by experiments I've done to verify this[2].

The only thing I'm aware of that's of note is if you superficially try to change the author of the patch to give a different attribution before pushing to GitHub, then GitHub will say something like "Other-Name committed with Real-You". In this case, it all comes from Git—Git has a notion of "committer" as distinct from "author". So what's happening in the case of e.g. `--author=Other-Name <fake@example>`, Git reads your config, which specifies e.g. Real-You, and so based on that and the `author` flag, will mark the commit with author Other-Name and committer Real-You. From this, GitHub displays the UI string of the form mentioned earlier.

For example, from a recent commit[3] to the vscode-docs repo, if you do:

$ git cat-file -p caa4bc3e50a96a93a1d4f5e39597cc3fc1cb9a4f

Improve `code` docs for macOS

Once again, this is all Git, and nothing specific to GitHub or any special inference that it derives from SSH keys (to my knowledge). If you have some other information, can you share it? Realistically, it's not feasible for GitHub to rely on SSH because it's not even necessary to set up SSH for your account. (Pushes from the command line can be done with a username/password pair—if you're hitting the https endpoint—and GitHub really likes people who do everything through their web UI. Forcing the latter group to mess with SSH is basically a non-starter, given GitHub's goals—which I'll clarify at every opportunity, is to be a social network first, and a software development platform second.)

> it'd almost be like asking what the upsides of spousal abuse are.

Essentially, yes, but the difference is with the sad fact that a certain percentage of people, unfortunately, have a will to bow before power in certain ways, i.e. enter nationalism. In other words, it's more like arguing about the upsides of torture, or the upsides of unjustified wars--those are atrocities committed by your government, not your neighbour. These I have seen discussed with (unbelievable) earnest on cable news, such as CNN.(1)

The irrelevance of utilitarianism in human moral judgements
Some time back there was an article on hacker news that suggested that human brains morality-evaluating circuits weren't tuned towards utilitarianism. Like: not at all!
We know that all sorts of human moral idiosyncrasies govern humans decisions in eg. trolley-problems, but it has always been assumed that, all things equal, utilitarian considerations would have a final call on our moral judgements.
Well, this paper argued that that just wasn't true.
But, I have forgotten the papers name, and Google has left me empty handed when searching for this article. Can any of you guys help me out?
I'm all for flexible work arrangements for people, no matter what their gender. But I have to say I disagree with you. Many roles are not necessarily customer facing but require a lot of interaction with a team. In the startup world the pace at which you have to operate is relentless, and in many roles it's critical that numerous people work together on a variety of projects. Yes, you can dial someone in. You can try to schedule meetings around their particular schedule. But ultimately it is SO much easier to get things done if you're all in the same place (the office) for relatively similar core hours day-in and day-out. Ideas arise out of conversations. People end up becoming privvy to information and conversations that are perhaps only tangentially related to their role. Or they end up joining new projects rather informally and organically. Which is exactly what often leads to (and prepares you for) more senior roles.

There are trade-offs that have to be made to work remotely or to have less face-to-face interaction with your teammates than others. In many cases these negatively impact your ability to move up, to succeed or to function well with a team. This is of course not true for every role or company, but it's true for many.

A redemption fee is a good idea, but it would still take engineering effort to build such a feature, so the opportunity cost is that other features customers need wouldn't get built.

Another thing I'd like to point out is that you really need to plan for ephemeral storage to fail. All it takes is a single disk drive failure in your physical host, and you've lost data. If you are using ephemeral storage at all, you should definitely have good, reliable backups, or the data should be protected in other ways (like HDFS replication).
