> The iPhone entered a crowded phone market and now controls the vast majority of smartphone profits. There's really no such thing as market "saturation" when you can grow the market and eat old participants."

The iPhone was far superior to other phones of its day. Plus it had significant network effects - having more users meant having more apps, which meant having more users.

Self driving tech would be much more a commodity product. Even some Apple employees "struggled to explain what Apple could bring to a self-driving car that other companies could not" [1] And self driving cars will have absolutely no network effects or 'lock-in'. Ford will dump Apple's self-driving technology in an instant if Google offers their technology a bit cheaper.

Answering for Germany, Berlin/Munich in particular.

1. You'll need a bachelor's degree in your field, but you won't need a masters. That said, getting a masters may give you a leg up. Postgrad education in Germany is free even for international students, the standar is high, and it gives you the opportunity to get your German up to an acceptable level. Additionally, you will have 12 months following graduation to find a full-time job. If you're looking to work for a bigger Germany company like Siemens, BMW etc., I'd seriously consider the masters.

2. Research job openings before you go. Tailor your CV. Two places to look are AngelList, and also http://berlinstartupjobs.com/ Applying online has always worked for me, but you may also want to go to some meetups while you're there. Berlin Tech Meetup https://www.meetup.com/b-tech/ is one of the largest.

3. Develop your portfolio. I had plenty of Indian colleagues at several of the companies I worked at.

Sometimes underlings see problems that leaders do not. Underlings were hired for a reason; you trust their judgement. If you find yourself disregarding their opinions on a regular basis then you may have a dysfunctional team (maybe your problem or theirs).

Here's a juicy real-world example. I used to work at a publicly traded Fortune 500 tech company. My boss' boss called us into a meeting to see a pitch deck he was planning to show to the executive team.

He'd done a survey that showed we should completely change the way we monitized our product. We would slash the price of our bread and butter product and charge more for add-ons. His survey showed that respondents really liked our add-on products, so it should be possible to make more money this way.

Our team worked on add-on products, so that was nice to hear. His survey validated our opinion that we were doing good work and the company should pay more attention to us. However something in the back of my brain said that his survey didn't add up. I asked him some questions about his methodology and discovered a big problem.

He only contacted people who had made money by using our add-on products. Roughly half of users didn't earn a penny, and he was ignoring those people in his survey. That would have dramatically lowered the satisfaction numbers in his survey.

I brought it up and he got very angry. He insisted that he'd conducted the survey correctly, and he didn't consider non-money-makers to be real customers. Several engineers chimed in and said I was right; he'd biased his sample and this survey wasn't accurate. He got even angrier and so we dropped it.

He brought it to the executives and they loved it. They completely changed the monitization system for the whole company. Within a year revenue had collapsed. It was so bad than many investors accused management of actively trying to hurt revenue. At least 5 class action lawsuits were launched over our rapidly declining stock price. Most of the executives were forced out by the board, and the company was acquired for a fraction of its former value.

I had a chance to stop all of this during that meeting, and I didn't. I let my boss' boss intimidate me into dropping it, and I can't help but feel like I'm partially to blame for everything that happened after.

He was a smart person, and generally someone I enjoyed being around. The problem is that he didn't have a science background and didn't understand how to create a controlled study. He also didn't understand the concept of statistical significance. Some of the engineering team did understand these things, but he dismissed our feedback. The result was a disaster.

I think he just didn't define complexity at all, just gave ways of measuring whatever he means.

But of course it's a tough topic. If measuring bit length of the explanation is a valid way of measuring something's complexity, then the measuring method itself is pretty complex
Hopefully you do not have a recent CPU as support for those will be dropped on any windows but 10. Microsoft tried to do this with skylake but met so much resistance that it pushed the date further for those and went on for the newer cpu only.

1.) That article is from 2015.
2.) Dividing operating losses by number of cars sold is...not a very good way of calculating things. You're taking R&D, new capital (Gigafactories, retail outlets, acquisitions like SolarCity) and all other expenses and dividing by number of cars sold. It makes for a nice clean Excel spreadsheet (A1 divided by A2) but a poor understanding of how emerging businesses with huge growth potential work under the hood.
Fair point. I just think a bit like DeVita: delay death (in a moral manner, not at any cost); then treat with recent combinations/molecules. The regulations forbid combinational trials first and delay learning (according to him).

There are potent tumor inhibitors like CBD that aren't accepted by most of the medical field, thus patients too (high trust in the doctors). They can alleviate symptoms and slow down metastasis (some academics have seen regression even). This gives time to plan for the rest. Instead you're sent home to die thinking it's hopeless. I guess it's better than dying at hospital, or being cut into pieces by resections... but it's far from acceptable IMO.
How could that be ? I wonder if the retirement of Ballmer has anything to do with it.

I think something has changed. I had to do a chargeback recently for a $5 cab ride for which I was charged over $50. In previous years something this small would have been dealt with immediately. Now, I had to speak with someone on the phone and it did not hit final resolution for a few weeks.

It was still an okay experience but not what it used to be.

I spend nearly all of my effort on "3. Degree of organization." I figure if I can get this right in first the most homoiconic way possible, and secondly with the shortest code possible then I get the first two points mostly for free.

It is also why I loathe inheritance. When I read unstructured code written for inheritance I don't see the same path and flow control that the computer sees. I just see a bunch of global classes and public/private/static declarations like a million tiny islands or grains of sand. To me this is a mess.

I do question the morality of the US system, and the sustainability of inflated prices it creates.

Its also important to remember that in for - profit healthcare, its operated as a profit center and thus has profit margins that are corporately mandated and not determined by need, at least not directly.

This leads to a massive inflation of price and decrease of quality of service, medicine, machines etc.

Not saying the EU system is better, but then that depends whether you are a shareholder or a patient.
Yeah, I remember this vulnerability getting a lot of attention back when that bug was filed. I don't remember how the browsers decided to fix it, but there was some kind of fix. What happened in the last decade that changed that? And what went wrong in the browser-makers' processes for the underlying issue to be forgotten or overlooked?
Thanks, that's most appreciated! I'll have a look to see what it does!
I like the idea of an open source NAS but I don't think this is the way to go. I would like to see a low power linux boards with two sata connections. This way you can have dual disks in a mirror situation. With multiple disks, you could easily add a new linux board as well. Something like the BananaPi comes close, although I doubt their QA deppartment.
My current setup is the Chase Amazon card for everything Amazon, Amex Blue cash back card for everything else, and a CapOne Venture card for merchants who do not take Amex.

I don't fly a lot, and cash back is just simpler even though it is not as min/max as getting miles. I use the little bit of Venture redemptions paying for Uber/Lyfts.

I've looked at the higher end paid for cards, but I might only fly 4x year, and they have not really seemed worth it.

Which also reminds me of the skipped Feb patches. I quickly figured out that Veeam reported their bug only a week before Patch Tuesday.

According to https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/filecab/2017/01/30/windo... they did go so far as to assign a KB number to the fixed patches, but there was a "build issue" according to Mary Jo Foley. I wonder what the dates would be if it was actually released.

>No. There's no electronic lookup to verify cash is valid. No swipe, no chip with cash.

This goes against every experience I've had waiting behind someone with cash at the grocery store. A credit card is just a single swipe (not even a signature for low dollar amount purchases at many places), while it always takes longer for someone to pay with cash and the cashier to make change.

I'd argue for 'open' hardware platform more than anything. Take a look at other personal computers of the time, within an order of (or two) magnitude price up or down, like Mac, Amiga, Atari, SUN, HP(UX), and SGI. They all had great(er) software and hardware and more advanced OS' and features, but got trumped quickly. On the software side, PC had business productivity from the start which could be used as an argument on the software front (Lotus 1-2-3, namely).

> Also I am almost convinced good medics in certain fields (endocrinology for example) are almost nonexistent.

Endocrinologists are legally all but required to have the presumption that their patients are criminals, and that the patient must prove otherwise.

Because of the ban on "cosmetic" use of anabolic steroids and other hormones, which was passed under Bush Sr., endocrinologists are flooded with patients who concoct really elaborate stories explaining why they need hormones.

The liability is so high for endocrinologists that they are incentivized not to be the most convenient provider around, lest they develop a reputation as the one who prescribes easily.

The people who suffer the most from all of this are the people who need hormones the most: transgender people and people with serious hormone disorders, but the system is not designed to make their lives convenient.

That's a very american thing. I remember reading about engineers from Germany who worked with NASA engineers on a project. The americans were surprised that when something was wrong the germans just took a wrench to fix it where for the americans it was policy to call a technician.

This tiny thing will not go very far in terms of bandwidth. If you want bandwidth you will need a HW RAID controller.

If you can justify the expense, MD VIP (http://www.mdvip.com/) is worth exploring. You basically pay an annual fee and in trade, the doctor's office caps their patient load at a certain number. The fee also includes an annual executive physical and work up.

The benefit is that with the smaller patient load, you can almost always get an immediate appointment. The doctor will actually get to know you and your history, have time to call and followup with you and overall just provide a tremendously better experience. Additionally, if you're ever travelling you can go see an MD VIP doctor wherever you are.

It's a really good setup for people who are willing to pay extra for a better experience.

Basing the system on precendent is of course an attempt to increase predictability, and reduce incidence of different judges deciding different things in similar circumstances.

I think it would be useful to implement some security against this at the registrar level (until a better fix is more broadly available). For example, if I'm registering "epic.com" (the ASCII version), the registrar could suggest that I also register "epic.com" (the Cyrillic version), or vice versa. This could at least help site owners avoid phishing attacks on their own domains.

Unfortunately, this would require all the big registrars to be on board for it to actually be effective.
More than two decades ago, I lost my Amex card (or perhaps it was stolen) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. I dialed the call-collect phone number on the back of a traveling companion's card, and explained everything to an Amex representative.

The next day they had a replacement card waiting for me at the hotel lobby. I still don't know how they pulled it off.

In that instant, I became a lifetime customer. AFAIK, no other credit card firm offers the same level and quality of service.

If you remind them there would be an increase in sales - especially if they point out the danger and then upsell the ASCII version - then they'd like implemenet it; at least they should A/B test it. Not great - but that's how I see them doing it.

That seems increasingly common,large systems with overworked generals and huge administrative headaches. And it's not like we can switch, we've got insurance.
> So, in this sense, vaccination should be an individual choice?

Emphatically: YES. Bodily integrity is something that is very high on the list of things that a person should have a say over. Whether they do it because they are mis-informed, dumb, irrational or religious doesn't matter, they still should have the final say over whether or not they get a specific injection or not.

There are many things that concern the individual that have consequences for society as a whole, in fact, it is very hard to point at a single thing that concerns an individual that has absolutely no consequence for society. And many of those things are regulated to benefit society. But your body is yours and yours alone and that's a good thing even if there are negative consequences for society.

Fortunately the anti-vaxxers are a small minority instead of a large majority so the risk is somewhat controllable and fortunately the only people at risk are those that have not been vaccinated yet (a risk that for many diseases is extremely small) so the consequences for society as a whole are manageable.

If that should change dramatically then this should be revisited but for now I'm pretty happy to support this even though I would never apply it to myself or my children (who, ironically, don't get to chose because the argument isn't really framed right, it's not an individual choice but in almost all cases a choice for a parent about their child...). This also ties in with religious freedom, and as an atheist you might find it surprising that I'm a big proponent of that, I don't believe in any of this but I will definitely defend the right of others to believe in whatever they want, including in things that may make them make sub-optimal choices when it comes to their own health or the health of their kids.

If you start to take away those rights you will end up with a very unhealthy society, far more unhealthy (and unhealthy on a different plane) than the society that has to deal with some actual health issues in a small part of their population.
