I saw Jess speak at Kiwicon 9 in New Zealand. She did the whole thing live, from the command line, with no slides. It was probably one of the most compelling talks I've ever seen and an absolute honour to witness such skill and passion.
Myself and the several hundred other attendees were all in awe.
For job security, I think. We're lucky enough as programmers not to have to worry about that too much, but when you're a civil engineer in a quite poor part of the country and the continent (I'm talking Eastern Europe) you do not have much better other options.
> but even half an hour of support per day adds up to a month of full-time work per year.

1. You could repurpose emails and turn them into FAQ content (= small SEO improvements).

2. If I take the time to answer an email for 20 minutes, I just find it intriguing and such an email almost always helps me to improve my expertise a bit.

3. Even if it's a whole month of support per year: So what? This is my job and I get paid good money for it ;)

> "The program doesn't work. Is it a bug? Please advise." Some customers don't mention which product they're using, or will even send me support enquiries for competitors products.

Get aText or TextExpander or something like that, make a predefined template that asks for more information.

While I answer every single email, I try to spend the least amount of time on people who seem a bit...weird in their questions. If people don't take the time to write a good question, I don't take time to provide a good answer. Requesting more information is a good way to annoy them a bit back. Maybe they either clarify what they want or they'll try to help themselves.

Have you thought about turning this into a subscription? If it provides value on a daily basis, people might pay more than you think, let's say $12 per year.

> I pay so little in tax based on what I earn from capital gains, that I never even think about it.

This is really interesting. Contrast this to how, say, a middle-income self-employed tradesperson feels when they do the following calculation. I'm using the UK tax system because that's what I know, but I expect it's similar elsewhere.

Say a customer pays them £1000 for some work. First VAT is assessed on this, which is ~£167, leaving them with ~£833. Then they pay for materials. Let's pick £400 as an arbitrary figure, which I don't think is unreasonable. This leaves a profit of £433. Then they pay class 4 national insurance contributions on this profit, which has a marginal rate of 9% assuming you make a normal amount of profit, so £39. You also pay income tax on this, which once you're over the 0%-rate threshold comes to ~£87. All told, your £1000 you took from the customer has resulted in £400 going to your supplier, ~£292 going to the tax man, and ~£308 for yourself. That's a marginal tax rate of ~49%, which, to me, feels like a lot.

There are other myths.

6) What if someone steals my idea and beats me to the market?

Due to the culture of secrecy propagated by big companies like Apple we too believe our ideas are unique and need to be secret.

If anything, the best ideas are usually incremental changes to already existing ideas but I digress. The point is being first to the market means squat but if you have a solid marketing plan and a consistent supply of leads (+ good relationship with your list) then you will make money. period.

7) A big launch is the end goal

Even a big launch is only 1% of your total traffic put leniently. So many people put all their hopes on a big launch.. So you're on Techcrunch, big deal. I've had many sites on TC, Mashable, etc but the traffic usually means nothing. You get a burst of signups (probably 1k+ in a week IIRC) but that is like a drop in the ocean and just like posting on a Forum, the moment your post drops from homepage - it's history. On the other hand, good SEO, and consistent supply of leads (say 100 leads a day = your big launch on TC in 10 days) is what will keep you in the game and make you money everyday.

8) If I have more traffic my site will grow

Getting traffic is half the job. Converting that traffic into paying leads is where the money is. If you think your lead will buy from you the moment it lands on your site, you're being naive. You have to romance your subscribers, give them free bonuses, educate them and then one day when you have something they need, they will buy from you - even if you're last to the market or are charging them more. When people trust you, you will get more repeat business than the new orders. I bet people with iPhones are the biggest consumers of the next iPhones too. Never ever underestimate the power of up-selling (though this one I think you only learn from experience).
this is why i'm not completely 100% with google photos. i'm ready to spend the monthly fees to store all my pictures in its original resolution, use google photos to manage/search my photos. except i don't want to commit to using it and then finding out google doesn't want to support it and just dumps it.

same thing with google voice. i use it but i've never committed to using it as my main phone number.

maybe it's a catch-22, but maybe google should stop sunsetting so many products so as to cause people to have no faith in their products. pretty much the only untouchable thing is gmail since the negative press for that would probably end google to the general public.

How to Optimize the Full Marketing Localization Process Part I
I have been to the athletics venue in Beijing. They have turned it into an ice playground with go-karts, a small ice-skating rink, and several other snow-related games. Inside the stadium itself they had photo's of the medalists and equipment with explanations. It cost a couple of dollars to enter and it was quite busy, so I guess they were able to cover maintenance cost from the entrance fees.
Yes, you're totally right, I should have remembered that.

Sure, you're both correct. I totally understated the EE's role. My intended point was that you can't expect the EE to just "design the board and give it to you". Coming from web / PC app dev this was a big shock. It's a team effort to figure out what hardware is necessary and form relationships with vendors, and the SWE's are by no means absolved from that process. After a few years of embedded dev now, it now seems odd that I'd have been surprised by that, but nonetheless I was.
It isn't a national origin ban if it only covers Muslim-majority countries with a priority process for religious minorities:

> "to prioritize refugee claims made by individuals on the basis of religious-based persecution, provided that the religion of the individual is a minority religion in the individual's country of nationality."

I wouldn't go as far as to say that it's a ban on Muslims, but it strategically bans (arbitrary groups of) Muslims. Also, if we're going to talk about portrayals, it's worth reminding readers that the countries on the list (Trump signed it, not Obama) have not historically been sources of terrorists.
Growing up in America, my understanding was that it was incredibly rude to ask an Indian immigrant what his/her caste was and that a person born in America of Indian descent would be even more offended and likely not know the answer. I may be wrong, but I suspect my perception is shared by most non-Indian Americans.

Consequently, I don't see how an explicit caste system would carry over.

America's class system is much more implicit and based on social cues and habits of the sort talked about here: http://www.oxfordamerican.org/magazine/item/550-trash-food. Also Race... which is far too complex a topic to be summarised here. As a mixed-race person who is light-skinned enough to that people think I'm Mediterranian, I still find it confusing despite many years of paying attention.
I like to think that Barcelona is a good example of how Olympic Games should impact a city. Growth was controlled and it allowed for regeneration of some shady parts of the city. They didn't build crazy venues and the ones they did build are still in use today 25 years later.

> Can you point to a timestamp in the video during which I said either of these things (or adopted the attitude which you say they represent)?

5:35 is one example:

> You: Just, in theory, there's a "government-issued ID", which you're presuming that I'm carrying, but you don't know whether or not I'm carrying one...

> Officer: I didn't ask for any kind of government-issue ID.

> You: But, of course, in the real world, we both know that there is such a thing that most people carry.

There's so much attitude here, which I'm guessing you don't realize:

1. You start off by lecturing him as if you're teaching him math... like as if he'd said "x^2 = 4 implies x = 2" and now you're saying "In theory, there's an x, which you're presuming is positive. You don't know if x = 2, so you can't just assume that!" That's not the attitude or tone you use on a stranger, let alone on a police officer. You could've much more politely asked, "But officer, what if I wasn't carrying one? Since that's legal, could we just proceed that way?" or something like that. Something that gets the point across without giving him a lecture. (And I'm sure there's better ways to phrase it too; this is just what I thought of on the spot right now.)

2. Despite the above, the officer went along with your attitude and pointed out an obvious mistake in your logic.
The logical response at this point would've been to give him the benefit of the doubt and apologize for alleging the wrong thing, or (if heaven forbid you apologize) just ask what other kind of IDs he'd have found acceptable. Who knows, maybe he'd have been fine with a gym ID that only had your name and photo on it, and you might've been fine with that, since you already basically gave them both anyway? Or if nothing else, you'd have at least learned something too, and you'd have also shown him that you're a willing to learn from your mistakes and that you actually respect him. What did you do instead? You just gave him a sassy response. That was totally unnecessary.

And there was at least another obvious instance much later in the video but I don't have the time to listen to it and find it again right now... though the above is clear enough that I shouldn't need to.

Finally, notice the fact that you didn't even wait for me to tell you the timestamp before you wrote your disparaging comments. If you don't even know what I'm talking about, shouldn't you figure that out first before moving on? You're so eager to talk back to people that you do it before you even know what they're talking about. That's not good...

Well, you can look over the pond to find out why.

In the UK, which is much less car focused, we've had a successful instacart equivalent, Ocado, for a decade. They're presently turning over about £1 billion per year ($1.25 billion) [1]. Market cap on today's market is £1.5 billion ($1.85 billion)[2].

Now all the major supermarkets home deliver and have for 5+ years. There's been a massive shift in the big chains' store building, they now build small "express" stores in town centres and near offices allowing people to pick up minor things without having to do a full shop. As far as I know, no-one's building large stores at the moment.

And the American market is potentially worth more a lot more than the UK one.

EDIT: Other interesting note, in the UK, the markup for delivery is free or a fairly nominal charge (£5/$6), but only if you pick a slot in a few days. If you want it sooner, or in a prime-time slot, you have to pay more for those delivery slots. The supermarkets are building the costs into the prices.

Also, here gas costs a lot more and it's almost cheaper to pay £5 than it is to drive to the supermarket.

EDIT2: I should add the small stores have a regulatory reason they're small, UK law means only stores under a particular size can be open more than 7 hours on Sundays.

I know of eight products, compulsory for school's to use, such as OnDemand [0], put out by the Australian government, that only run under IE7/8. (Though the published specs say it runs on IE9+ for admin, and IE10+ for students, but I've never got admin to run under anything but IE7, and students on anything more than IE8.)

I'd imagine that enterprises are still running many products with similar insane requirements, because they never get updates.

Very nice to meet you. While I am a web developer, proficient in several programming languages, owner of a few popular websites, and starter of my own business in web app development (I know nothing about iOS or Android development -- I'm talking about a website using MySQL, Javascript and PHP to perform functions and do what it needs to do). Yet I still feel like I'm unqualified, unexperienced, and barely know half of what the regular community knows. But I enjoy reading the posted articles, the AskHN, the ShowHN... it keeps me up to date with the latest technology, news, and even brainstorming ideas. Of course, I think the community is awesome.. I tend to read comments to get a general idea of the thoughts before I even read the article. I barely know anyone on here.. I'm a bit of a quiet developer, occasionally I'll post a comment, but not often, but I feel like there is a sense of understanding, of programmer-brotherhood-sisterhood.

Truth is... I think we are all alike: Most of us want to develop (or do) things that change the world for the better. We want to secure our future and see technology advance, but not be abused. We also want (need) to make some money doing it. I don't want to rip people off at all.. rather, I want to provide them a service and they pay me to use my service or for me to provide that quality service, and it is a mutual symbiotic relationship amongst everyone.

My favorite type of articles: startups and saas.

Munich 1972 is relatively successful in it's afterlife:
* The Olympic village is rented out, among other things with relatively cheap apartments for students
* The Olympic Stadium serves as stadium for FC Bayern and TSV 1860 football (soccer) clubs till 2002 and in summer for open air concerts, in recent years there also had been "fun sport" events and track&field competiotions
* The Olympic swimming arena is a busy public bath (one rare chance to swim Olympic distances, most other pools are shorter)
* The Olympic hall is used for trade fair events, bicycle races, share holder meetings, concerts, ... and is quite well booked
* The canoeing tracks etc. are still in use by clubs
* The horse riding arena is still used
* The Olympic park is a popular place to hang out
* For the bicycle racing area there had been different attempts for a use but they failed
* There is a small train station with some tracks which wasn't used since 1972 (or maybe since football (soccer) world championship 1974?) this is supposed to become a cycling path "soon"

The article doesn't actually mention any examples of drones used by terrorists. The closest they get is a purely military action somewhere in Iraq.
The main Olympic Stadium is now used full time by a local Premier League football team, West Ham. The Olympic pool is now a public swimming pool anyone can go in for £5. Not sure about the other venues, but the whole surrounding area is a new park which is very well used. All in all, a pretty successful legacy.

Ehh. Orders of magnitude, plural? Several hundred km/h? That's a stretch. These are golden eagles, my favorite kind of bird. Their diving speed is around 220-250 km/hr, and their horizontal speed is around 40 km/hr. They will speed up horizontally to catch prey, but this is typically only up to about 90 km/hr.

I've seen UAVs kill birds before though, and it's always a horrifying scene, reminiscent of the plucky character in a dystopian sci-fi movie meeting the all-powerful violent crusher of doom. Moderately powerful UAVs can easily resist birds. Even an off the shelf DJI Phantom 4 can - with stock everything - go 72 km/hr horizontally. I'd bet the eagle could catch up to it, however: the problem comes when the bird meets drone.

Every bird-drone incident I've seen is usually an instant kill (or comes close) for the drone, simply because most of the surface area of the drone is covered by four spinning propellers. The tips of these blades are going several hundred miles per hour, and the area of the top not covered by blades is only a few square centimeters covered in smooth, hard to grip plastic. Now you're telling me that a huge bird (that has a wingspan longer than most humans are tall) can grab onto this tiny place without becoming mincemeat? If the blades are carbon fiber, there's a good chance they won't break upon cutting the bird in half.

I've worked with drones enough to know what will and won't stop them. A bird won't: it'll brush the blades and fall to the ground in a bloody mess. A bullet will. Bullets are tried and true technology, we know how to use them, they're not ridiculously expensive, and they will certainly take down any drone of reasonable size.

This is PR, plain and simple. There's no other explanation for it, unless France's air force is hilariously incompetent, which I would doubt.
Well, I can tell you about the Olympic Park in London. It's used a lot. My kids have their swimming lessons in the olympic pool, and friends kids have diving lessons there. A friend of mine is a coach who runs sessions in the velodrome, BMX and mountain biking tracks. The downsized stadium is now home to West Ham - although fans aren't greatly enamoured with their new stadium which is mixed athletics/football, so the atmosphere is perhaps missing.

During the summer we go there a lot the playgrounds and gardens are gorgeous. Yes, a lot of the temporary venues have gone and there is a vigorous building programme, building both flats and office space.
I'm sorry but this is a question of sustainability, not legacy. They're not even close.

I'm not sure I read the parent same way you did. What he proposed is a way to circumvent border data check by having no data on your devices during that time. If there's no encrypted data then device passwords will do nothing for them.
Those numbers suggest about 10% overhead. Giving free money to 900% more people in order to save 10% on overhead is not a cost saving strategy.

Your article proves my point, even though it goes to great effort not to admit that.
I wondered briefly whether it would be possible to get cheaper open-source trace tools, like the very reasonable Olimex devices. Then I looked at the maximum trace output speed of 600Mbit and noped straight out again; far easier to pay the $1000 than try to design my own system to manage that.
Yeah. I think I'm pretty reasonable when it comes to complying with laws of other countries. Whatever they want from me, I'm happy to help. I just want to be treated with respect.

US and Canadian border guards will search your stuff without telling you why, seem disappointed not finding anything, curtly dismiss you leaving you to repack. And it's like they're disappointed when it turns out you've committed no offense.
