>You have to artificially delay and shorten your responses

Delaying responses in a professional setting can hamper your actual productivity though – and appear inattentive or disrespectful, not busy.

For one, there is a general reciprocity of responsiveness, i.e., the faster you respond to them, the faster they'll respond to you. And of course, that's relative. They won't necessarily mimic your response time, but your time will affect where their responses are in their normal range of response time.

I've witnessed this firsthand numerous times. A colleague will complain Bob takes days to respond, whereas I typically get a response the same day – and the inverse too. It's not hard data, but the pattern seems true.

The other part is that I see no real benefit in delaying a response. I happen to be in a legitimately busy phase right now, but I still try to be fairly responsive. The nuance is that my quick responses are sometimes just me saying that I'll respond in depth by the end of the day/week/whatever and to please let me know if a response is needed sooner.

I can imagine scenarios where that's not appropriate, but in general, that approach makes more sense to me. It still communicates that you're busy but doesn't artificially delay things or unintentionally disrespect people.

I'm in the same market segment as you (i do triathlons). This bike is not meant for the athlete /performance cyclist. It looks like it's trying to target the person who only riders a bike to commute, or perhaps go for a leisurely stroll down a beach boulevard.

Which IMO is a fine choice, if they really do know that this segment even wants the product they're making, or if this segment is big enough.
Dear Twitter (Marques Brownlee) [video]
The world we live in is not fixed, but can be changed. I don't think it makes sense to bang your head against a limitation you have but instead you should find ways to work around. For the students who doesn't do well with lectures it may mean to read a book or get some hands-on experience. For the teacher it may mean to give handouts before the lecture or offer some hands-on lab.
I think you also don't strictly have to sue even if there is an actual violation; you can approve individuals to use a mark without totally abdicating your rights, giving stipulations. That would be creating a licensed use (and then there is no longer a violation.)

You do sometimes need to formally assert your ownership of the Trademark in order to maintain your legal protections, but you do not have to open with "Cease and Desist" in 100% of cases where a mark may be confusing in order to retain protections. I can't think of a specific case where this happened right now, but I have definitely heard of this happening. Maybe someone here knows of such a case. I think it was a company that produces video games.

(A competent IP lawyer would probably advise you against diluting a brand in this way in most cases without having a very good reason for allowing the use. The case I am thinking of was something along the lines of "going after these people with a legal threat right out of the gate is likely to result in severe bad PR for us because they are likely to be seen by our customers as performing a valuable service." So let's ask them nicely to change the name, or offer them a license for a nominal fee of $1 to use the mark instead; bring them into legal compliance, maintain our protected position, reap positive PR and save on lawyer bills.)

In the case of this thread I definitely agree that the lawyer is totally out of bounds.

> For example, I mainly learn by doing or reading. If someone gives me a lecture I will remember almost nothing later.

The myth here is that you might think you're different than others in this regard. Pretty much every human can easily space out during a lecture. Pretty much every human can learn something better if they do it themselves or can understand a graph better than a list of numbers. Everyone is a visual learner, everyone learns by doing. A lesson should incorporate all of these aspects.
npm used to have issues that if you had a shrinkwrap and a pre-existing node_modules directory and ran `npm install`, then npm would often report success but silently fail to make the node_modules directory actually match the shrinkwrap. ... After our build system ran into this issue once and built and deployed code to production with fatally mismatched dependencies, I wrote a hacky wrapper script which would double-check that node_modules really did match the shrinkwrap, and if not it would remove the directory entirely and re-run `npm install`... Thankfully this was fixed in npm v4.

There are indeed honourable exceptions, but they are exceptions.

The fact that on many corporate sites I cannot even get to see the company name until I have enabled JS in three rounds with NoScript is silly. Sometimes I just don't bother. As yes I am running a supercomputer right now, I quite agree, but I don't want nefarious stuff run on it. And on my mobile I don't want to be wasting my battery power on emulating Deep Thought to get past the throbber.

Most sites want you to see some text. Many don't let you see any without scads of JS.

(Note: I do use JS to enhance my sites, but the JS is small and the sites work fine without it running.)
That's an ethics call you have to make.

In the "no, but" approach, I see no harm in it - compliance does not result in a negative result for the other person. You're not going to do it anyway, but they're going to feel better about it than just a simple "no".

In "because I have to make copies"... your call. I wouldn't, because I'd consider this improving my result at the expense of yours.
The E and Monte programming languages do this too, lowering from Full-E or Full-Monte to Kernel-E or Kernel-Monte via a canonical "expansion" phase. In Monte, this indeed is the bulk of the work done by the compiler, and the optimizer only operates on Kernel-Monte.

Yep. This is the key for cooperating with shuttles. First, it's much harder to fill a shuttle on-the-spot (with good routes - very important for experience), than using pre-scheduled demand. And afaik, most of the shuttle market already work on pre-scheduled, so it's a requirement(unless you build your own fleet).

But if you do manage to cooperate with shuttles, the prices they could offer are so different than taxis, that sharing may become much less of a pain point for many people.

Interesting point. So what does this suggest about some of the highest paid CEO's being in industries with business models that are already quite stressed, like cable tv? And how did they get their assets in the first place?
Meh. I put down a deposit because I wanted to keep my options open and if I didn't I probably wouldn't be able to get one before Tesla runs out of tax credits. When it comes out, we'll see what the actual specs are.

My main concerns about the Model 3 are that 1) I don't like the privacy and security implications of an always-on Internet connection, 2) it is yet to be seen how open Tesla is about service/maintenance documentation for the Model 3, and 3) I have some doubts about whether I'll like looking over to the right to see the instruments.

Tesla's model 3 versus model S page doesn't give me any insight into any of those concerns.

> That's what worries me about things like Alexa and Siri, they turn just about every market into winner take most.

What you're really seeing is not that there is a winner takes all, rather every product is being turned into such a unique experience that there can only be one.

Lets go back to 19th century. You received grain which could have been produced by any farmer. Yes there was different quality of grains and you judged every grain you bought based on it's individual quality, but at the end of the day, there were thousands of farmers providing you with grain.

In 20th century when 'branding' arrived, then although there were different kinds of products, at the end of the day once you chose Pepsi, you stuck with it, if you chose Wonder bread, then that's mostly what you ate. In many ways, Pepsi had a monopoly in providing Pepsi cola drink and Wonder bread had a monopoly in providing Wonder bread.

In 21st century, the experience would even more extremely brandized. We have seen this with Apple computers. When you buy a Macbook, you automatically buy the different hardware devices Apple chose for you, and many people are completely ok with (in fact love) this echosystem. If you don't like it, then you go ahead and buy yourself an Android phone and a PC.
"It used to be that education was something people did for themselves. Parents or a teacher would help children learn what they wanted to learn, when they were ready to learn it. Modern schooling forces children to learn on the teacher's schedule."

Yeah, but back in that day, you only got education if your parents had the time and knowledge to do it, or the wealth to hire private tutors.

Correct. Perfect example would be Casinos, a person knows the hard odds are against them but continues to not use logic and reason. Perhaps our individual concepts of the words "reason" and "logic" are not synced, thus causing the disparity.

In his example of the hole in the wall, you claim it was not by accident and that they were purposely looking for the intended output in the configuration? It seems the information Jacque was attempting to convey was that through observation and "accidental" tries, output is generated. Edison and Tesla did the same exact thing, only difference being Tesla narrowed his "accident" tests down to less cases. It all comes down to if-statements. If a hand "accidentally" covered the hole, the picture disappears... then another if-statement executes in their mind... if another object obscures the frame, what happens? Everything evolves from these "accidents".

Behavior is mutable. Genetics plays a large factor as well.
We both seem to agree that the blank slate theory is blown out of the water.
His thinking can seem to rely on behaviorism, but more aptly he would refer to it as "operational conditioning".

I think that's easier said than done. People are inspired to up-vote a petition if it has action... but what if you're position is that we just keep doing the status quo on an issue.

For example, you can imagine a petition saying:

"The gender pay gap is statistically $0.72 for female workers. I propose we simply SOLVE this now. Let's tax MEN and give the proceeds to women to even up this pay disparity".

Sadly, I've seen petitions like that and they are as absurd as my hypothetical above.... but you're asking me to make a petition saying:

"The existing laws around gender discrimination are plenty good. Let's keep with what have now"

Somehow I feel like my petition wont take off.

I used both Lyft and uber. And according to the drivers they get paid more through Lyft. And all the other reasons not to use uber are listed above.
On Economics and Management
In Palo Alto, taxis are incredibly unreliable. You call for a taxi, they give you an ETA, then they pass your request off to someone else (who in my experience is often not an actual taxi driver). That person is coming from somewhere else, so the ETA is way off, and when you call back to see where the driver is it's a big game of telephone. After 20 mins you realize you should have just used Uber/Lyft and you do that instead. Needless to say, we never use taxis anymore.
To be clear, I wasn't uncomfortable with the implied comparison because I have something against Jesus or the Gospels. I was uncomfortable because I don't want anyone to think for a moment that I am comparing myself to him. (I'm not.)
There was a very interesting article in the german business-magazine "brand eins" [1]. The article is not yet available for free (always released for free a few weeks after the magazine).

But the gist was that UBI is only possible with a substantial tax reform. In the article an example of 1000€ per month is presented and a universal "commerce" tax of 50% used (no other taxes just taxing money going out of businesses, e.g. earnings, salaries).

Several examples are presented:
Low income of 24000€, 12000€ - 12000€ = 0€ in taxes.
Higher income of 100000€, 50000€ - 12000€ = 38000€ in taxes.

It concludes that basic income in Germany is therefore great for everyone with salaries below 240000€ compared to the current taxation system.

Calculations for the amount of money necessary were also included, but I am unable to recall them from memory.
Looking up the article online revealed a report by the interviewee from the magazine article [2],
which states that a UBI of 800€ per month (including major reforms) would cost around 454.10 billion €, which would be about 2/3 of Germany's current tax income.
