OT: speaking of whales, that reminds me of something I've wondered about.

I recall reading an article a few years ago about some species of whale that lives in the Atlantic and spends the winter in warmer southern waters, and then migrates north to their breeding grounds.

The article talked about how researchers had put trackers on some of the whales, and found that the whales followed much straighter paths than the researches expected. The expectation had been that there would be a lot of east/west variation along the paths of individual whales, because all of the geographic inputs to navigation the whales are thought to use (magnetic sense, position of sun, maybe polarization of light from the sky, visible landmarks, and so on) have a fair amount of uncertainty.

I did a bit of Googling, and found that there were tens of thousands of these whales. The article didn't say how many whales had trackers attached, but I would assume that it is only a very tiny fraction of the total population. I also found that the migration is spread out, not all at once. Some whales will leave, then a little later more will go, and so on, so that at the height of the migration whales are all along the general route.

So what I've wondering is if the overly straight routes of the tracked whales could be explained by most of the whales listening for the calls of the whales further along in the migration and swimming in the direction of the calls, and giving that priority over following geographic navigation clues. Since they only track a small fraction of the whales, I could see them easily only having data only from whales that are not near the leading edge of the migration.

The reason I think following would lead to straighter routes is that if B is following A, with a gap of several kilometers (which should be easily doable, because whale sounds can be heard quite far away under water), then if A deviates side to side by a certain amount, B will also deviate, but B's deviation will be smaller. The farther back B is, the smaller B's deviation will be.

Now if there is a C following B a few kilometers back, C's deviations will be even smaller than B's.

With a spread out migration, these chains should be long, and those whales back a few steps in the chain should be going quite straight. If you only have data on the whales that are a few steps back or more, it would look like the whales have some super accurate navigation system.
As a New Zealander, it amazes me that the US and Canada do not have closer relations with regards to customs and so forth. I understand that both countries are large, but this situation seems a little ludicrous.

I recently travelled to Australia on business - which, I suppose, is the larger neighbour in the same way the US is to Canada.

Through immigration and customs at both airports, I was never obliged to actually interact with a real person: only check-in machines, face scanners, and a quick walk past sniffer dogs.

I agree. It's just like the myth of gay people (usually being told by conservatives) running the world and being the wealthiest, because watch these famous gay people and Tim Cook. Ignoring the population as whole, many in very bad situations.

Can you provide references to the facts in those books? Even the titles would be appreciated.

Taxation is not required for representation but taxation does require representation. This fundamental concept of American democracy is applicable in only one direction. I don't see how you established the connection between managers and politicians.

Corporate governance and national governance are not equivalent. If an employee or founder is fired that is not the same as failing to be (re)elected. Founders are not initially selected by a democratic system.

“We’re at the beginning of this. Vive is the most expensive device on the market. It’s barely capable of doing a marginally adequate job of delivering a VR experience. We have to figure out all sorts of other problems before even the hardware question gets answered, much less what’s going to be the compelling content.”

“If you took the existing VR systems and made them 80 percent cheaper, that’s still not a huge market. There’s still not a really incredibly compelling reason for people to spend 20 hours a day in VR”, Newell said. “Once you’ve got something that will really cause millions of people to be excited about VR, then you start worrying about cost reductions. […] Some people have got attention by going out and saying there’ll be millions of [VR unit sales] and we’re like, wow, I don’t think so. I can’t point to a single piece of content that would cause millions of people to justify changing their home computing.”

Ken and I were both members of the RIAS seminar at Harvard, which was held in Williams James Hall, a building where approximately none of us had our offices. As we waited for an elevator, two in a row went by the main floor to the basement. I mused "I wonder why everybody in the basement wants to go upstairs." His reply shot back: "You're confusing supply with demand."

He was one of my heroes before I ever got to Harvard. Turned out to be a nice guy. RIP.
Django will generate a LEFT JOIN for nullable keys, and an INNER JOIN for non nullable keys. The lack of control over joins and conditions is a weakness of the ORM, but Django generally does the right thing. Of course, you can do an `__isnull` on the relation to create a pseudo inner join from the generated LEFT JOIN, but admit it's not the same.

Yep, sometimes family members have the latest rice cooker (yup I'm asian) but I'm convinced that I make better rice with my shitty rice cooker.

It's really just about washing the rice (not too much), how much water you pour in (not too much), and how long you let it sit while not touching it when it's cooking.

(Oh and, I used to live in China, ate rice everyday in all kind of restaurants. I know what is good rice.)
Sounds like you're already doing some research and are off to a good start.

There's a couple book recommendations in other comments that mention some famous great books about investing. "The Intelligent Investor" for example is the classic to read on the subject. Just a heads up, many of these books about investing are about actively investing yourself, in particular picking stocks yourself, which has almost nothing to do with investing via broad passive index funds. I'm not saying don't read those books, please do research. However I just wanted to write a heads up: many people who read these books with a goal to learn more investing in general and who prefer to stick with broad passive index funds for their own money, well somehow almost everyone I see who reads these books ends up starting to try to actively pick stocks afterwards anyway. So I fully agree do a lot of research, learn about investing as much as you can and read any/all books that might interest you. Just wanted to give the warning before you do read these books...that as good as those books are on investing, they are also like gateway drugs that often make people want to try their hand at picking stocks and timing the market after they read them. Ultimately it's your money and up to you.

Another option, in addition to reading online and reading books, is to look into hiring a registered professional investment advisor help give you more in-depth information and answers that are specific to your situation.

Some investment advisors work off a percentage of your assets and they invest your money on your behalf but there are also many many other registered investment advisors who just work for an hourly fee when you go to meet them and they don't even offer any investing services at all. They offer information and knowledge about investing, the meeting is 1 on 1, and they charge by the hour or by how long the session takes.

One reason I recommend looking into a fee-based advisor like this is to answer your questions but also provide answers that are specific to you; based on things like your age, your goals, any other assets you have (like a home), factoring in if you have a 401(k) or something like it through your employment, etc...Of course a professional can answer your questions about various funds too, but there is a host of other issues to consider when picking passive index funds. For example tax-advantaged investing is going to be unique to you. You want to avoid overpaying taxes on investment gains, many people get this wrong without professional assistance and could have saved a lot of money had they set things up right earlier. Likewise, what State you live in or if you own a home might affect which types of passive index funds make sense for you. Just another thing maybe worth researching as you go through your due diligence. Best of luck.

I worked on a 120m old passenger ship for a while. During dry-dock each year we'd put 8 or so 2kg (ish) zinc anodes around the hull, a welded bracket around each one.

The trouble was that they're pretty expensive, and zinc has a great resale value - so we had to do extra watches around the lower decks with rigged firehoses to try and stop local divers stealing them who knew we'd just come out of drydock. (This was in the Philippines). We lost several that way.

I think the implication is that the senior dev conducting the interview wasn't really interrupted (hence the quotes around the word) and that it was just how the realistic interview question was presented.
Even with "only" 5-10 support emails a day, though, you have to be very organised. I'm guessing you probably just are, and that's why you think that's no big deal.

If you're used to carving out a slice of your day to respond quickly to a batch of such emails, then it's fine. But if you're in a frame of mind where you're primarily worried about something else you really feel you need to get done, it can seem very hard to set that aside and reply to even a single email in any meaningful way.

(But yes, I've also had the experience that charging money does not suddenly make your users any more demanding.)
So many possibilities, but my mind went straight to Pyramid Song. I think there is no way to objectively answer something like this. Even if you get some kind of majority in favour of one particular answer, that doesn't make it "true".
Sure, and I'd say the same (with a little less personal experience) for SAP, Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics and a whole bunch of other "enterprise platform" scale tools. There'll be heaps of poorly thought out and configured installations, and a few much less talked about companies where they got it set up properly and trained the users - who're busy raking in money executing their company business instead of killing productivity and morale fighting with their software...
I jibe with the article but I disagree that marketing is something that should be pursued from Day 1. As Jessica Livingston has noted umpteen times, the first thing you need is product that delights users. Marketing activities around an idea that might not have a useful market is a bit wasteful.

I don't imply that marketing is pointless at early stage but time-consuming marketing channels (blogging, social media) are best avoided at that time. A detrimental mistake that I made when I was making a product was to think that I need 'marketing' to get more (beta) users. I started writing blog articles without understanding that I needed at least a baseline of users who really desire the product. Reading about some of the SaaS successes, I think that a lot of entrepreneurs get their initial users from people they know / ads / reachout. Strong marketing effort kicks in when the product seems useful for a market and organic growth doesn't feel enough.

Intranet Success: 3 Considerations for a Successful Intranet
I have had success with getting lots of people on it. And the key selling point that it is no more difficult than WhatsApp makes that possible.

And that "no more" is really important. "Just slightly more" won't do. Especially not if it's "slightly more to someone who frequents HN". Because that's likely already prohibitive to most.

Take a person that just barely knows how to operate the play store. I can instruct that person over phone how to start chatting with me securely in a minute or two:

Go to the play store, download signal, open signal, I'm already there in your contact list. Write me a message. Done.

That's an amazing achievement. The much maligned fact that phone numbers are used as identifiers is key to that experience, too, because my phone number already is on that persons phone.

And yeah, I can't verify Whatsapp, but I still trust that Moxie et.al. have checked their implementation. Still that's why I push people to switch to Signal rather than stay on WhatsApp. Doubly so as WhatsApp belongs to Facebook now (I loved their original 1 Dollar a year business model, and if they still had that I would trust them a lot more).

Even with doubts about Facebook, it almost certainly is a massive win that WhatsApp implemented this. It makes WhatsApp immune to being subpoenaed for conversations, and thus they have a clear motive to implement it properly, too.

Presumably because it's trying to equate San Francisco liberals venting about Trump supporters, with the legal oppression of women and minorities with the full backing of the state. A level of false equivalency that is terrifying for people who are slowly realising that a large number of Trump supporters have lost all touch with reality.

"Those who can make you believe absurdities, can make you commit atrocities" -- Voltaire

59% of Trump supporters believe the last president of the United states was not a citizen of the US, and therefore ineligible to be president.

66% believe that Obama is lying about his religion and is secretly a muslim.

Put together, that is some real "Protocals of the Elders of Zion" stuff. No wonder they want to ban muslims, they actually believe the country has already been secretly taken over by them. There's multiple bestseller books that claim exactly that. People pushing this conspiracy are all over the Republican establishment and Trump and other public figures drop blatant dog-whistles that just sound like stupidity to normal people, but confirm these paranoid fantasies for believers.

Trump actually said on television that Obama actively helped the Orlando shooting. And people in this thread are like "well, I like his tax policies" and "people are so rude to supporters of Fascism, that's the real fascism!".
Lowest effort (both technical and marketing) for highest return (a real and approachable market). Many times the effort would be too much for negligible return, so move on.

The thing is, they gave good reasons on all these points. It's certainly valid to disagree with the trade offs, but people don't acknowledge that there are trade offs at all.

As I said in another reply, I can get a completely non-technical user to start using Signal with me in a minute, and have them have an experience that is as accessible as WhatsApp. That's simply not true for any of the other options I'm aware of (and it relates directly to most of the points you raise, with the notable exception of F-Droid. There I also find their reasoning weakest).

I fell very much in to the trap of his second point there. Mind you, I would never hire a marketer (not enough money is involved in my startup), so this "marketer" would of course be "me". I decided there was no point telling people about my web-based startup until I had a working site that they could see for themselves.

So indeed, by the time I was ready to let beta testers in, I had no real network on which to rely on to get it in front of peoples eyes. As a not-for-profit, I don't plan to make money off it (and hence don't plan to spend much on it), and am not interested in the VC side of things.

I remember initially reading BetaList's requirement of submitting to them before you actually launch and I found it ridiculous. Now I realise, if done right, it's the proper way to go about things. And I missed that boat badly.
What is "looking for loads"?
Have you ever wondered why a computer seems to slow down over time, but after a reinstall it is magically faster? That is because programs install a lot of things, and often don't uninstall everything again, even if you ask it to.

Most of the communities I'm part of are onto Discord now, and that's a lot nicer experience in terms of having them all in once place than Biteebee ever was.

I'm all for federation and open protocols, I wish Discord had gateways and I'm hopeful for Matrix. But I don't think IRC is the answer: it's inherently without identity, inherently text-only, inherently historyless. These problems can't be solved well without protocol changes, but for whatever reason IRC has developed a community that is hostile to any protocol improvements and preferes to encourage ad-hoc hacks for these aspects, none of which works well and most of which don't work at all.
