Hey folks! Let me introduce our new design tool "STUDIO". STUDIO is a UI design tool for a new prototyping that goes beyond your imagination. Our vision is to provide a platform for "anyone to change their idea into a real product." Our goal is to invite planner, director, engineer, and any "non-designer," who are having a difficulty with bringing their idea into a product, by providing a simple, speedy, easy design service that can help the individuals to innovate.

You can ask me anything about STUDIO, I'm always here to help you. Thanks!

Unless you're an EE and an expert in power supplies, this is way more dangerous than splicing some copper wires and following some building codes.

Which ppl manage to f. up all the time anyway (missing ground, neutral and live swapped, splices used in lieu of a longer length of cable, improper gauge, poor cabling technique)

This community takes it as a given that "email is too hard" for an amateur to do right. Then how is wiring a house considered easy when the electrical code books are thick as bricks?
The OP’s question was “if you were in my shoes what would you do?”

I don’t invent stuff like that in my spare time. I do that because an employer or client paid me for R&D.

That’s why I would ask for permission first.

Your logic makes sense. I have to point out though, that in reasonably "high quality" startups, what I've seen is:

- Absolutely 1X liquidation preference

- strike price between 0.1X and 0,3X the preferred

- No accelerated vesting :)

- Significant retention plans are given upon liquidation to the the productive engineering team members, regardless of how many options they owned (I personally know folks who made little fortunes even if their options were completely worthless on liquidation day)

That being said I agree with your salary discount thing. I worked in other startups and I had been victim of that, and I'd never take a significant haircut again for some Monopoly money, all it takes is some education.
So living off of Bitcoin and the black market in Venezuela is your idea of what we should aspire to?

Even if a few people in Venezuela manage to use Bitcoin (propped up by the US dollar, nobody's selling their Bitcoin for Venezuelan currency), that still easily meets my definition of a failed society.
A 10 AM Bay Area earthquake is the highest plausibility * severity event you're likely to experience around here on a day to day basis - leaving some people with a 25 mile commute back to a structure that might or might not be standing, intermittent at best communications, and potentially impassible roads.

IMO if you don't have a case of water, a road map, and a change of walking-around clothes in your car around here, you're asking for smiting. Fortunately that's about $10 in total, and you can drink the water even if there's not an earthquake.

Additionally, near everything that would be handy in case of an earthquake (gloves, pry bar, basic trauma supplies, etc) is useful in case of a car crash, which actually is far more likely.
Zoom in.
You can't fix this with tech.

No amount of decentralized web will help if ID is legally required to post things. Torrenting, encryption, and similar will simply be made illegal, since that's required for enforcement. Many of the established lobbies would support that, for the usual justifications.

You can only fix this by not letting the law start on this crazy slippery slope.
My understanding is that even broadcast television advertising can be pretty well targeted based on the show's demographic profile, the viewership of the station/channel, known DVR usage trends, and the viewer's location. Surveys on brand awareness and recall can be delivered locally to confirm the ad was seen. The larger the company (large scale means more likely to do broadcast TV advertising), the more they can control other advertising channels in order to test whether the advertising is showing lift locally. There is a whole industry and 50+ years of experience using these things to gauge advertising effectiveness, so the limitations and usefulness is pretty well understood.

Then the internet comes along and digital advertising is promoted as being better at all types of advertising (which of course its not). And its new (new is risky/scary) and no one knows if exposure to digital advertising has the same "brand awareness" lift as non-digital, or how to quantify that. The results have been mixed. P&G recently announced they would dramatically scale back social advertising because they determined it wasn't effective.

So its on digital to prove its value, and the argument becomes "direct correlation/clicks" is proof, which is fine. Some people accept that and some don't. In 50 years, the limitations and usefulness of digital will be pretty well understood, but in the meantime, advertisers need more than "its new" to trust it.
You need more functionality for a non basic modal, first problem is if you have 20 modals you want not to copy paste over and over again. For non basic modals you also need events to know if user accepted or dismissed the modal, you want the Escape key to also work, you want the option to allow or not closing the modal when clicking outside of it,
The project I work on uses bootstrap, this means in the main html file you have copy pasted same html boiler-plate with only the content change, somewhere there is a button that has a special attribute that magically opens this modal(bootstrap js does that in the background), this does not scale and we searched for a good library so we can put each modal in it's own file and we also needed full control to create the modal if and when we needed it and not have it loaded in the main html but hidden. The solution would be to have modals implemented as standard and not having to hunt for a library because the lib we used is for angular+bootstrap but it will not work for react+bootstrap or for no framework projects.

An understandable misconception when the freedom of presses enables publicly airing anyone's dirty laundry. Not to mention that (god forbid) there is actual debate and conflict between our citizens on the best way to handle issues.

These differences are nonetheless not my biggest grief with China. The moment you restrict criticism of your institution, you have committed to sacrificing pragmatism for ideology. Pragmatism requires commitment to the truth, which can only come from the status quo being continually challenged.

Virtually every human business activity is ultimately conversion of energy into money. Even if an entrepreneur purchases other goods than energy (in the manufacturing process), their price is eventually dependent on their energy consumption. The price of hiring a human worker is also dependent on overall that person's energy consumption. There is no difference between mining BTC, gold or any other business activity. What matters is how much provision one can make but it also converges (decreases) to some value set by the free market.

Depending on how it is implemented, features like autoclosing can be hijacked for nefarious purposes. Let's say it is done by Chrome "clicking" on the close button, which it detects by the URL and the element id. Once it is in the database, the website could use the element id on an ad or a link to generate spurious ad views or traffic. They could also do it on a small percentage of users to avoid detection.

Not all programming errors lead to incorrect programs (correctness being defined by the language).

You shouldn't call sqrt(-1) in C, and if you do, you abort. But maybe you are not supposed to call sqrt(20) either, because 20 is a sign your programmer did not understand the application. In that case, the programming error is still a correct program.

In languages like Python, or Lisp, there are a whole set of programming errors like dividing by zero, calling length on something that is not a sequence, etc. that are designed to not crash the system (nor make it inconsistent), in part because those errors can happen while developing the code and are just of way providing an interactive feedback.

Now, if you ship a product and there is a programming error that manifests itself while in production, you better not try anything stupid, I agree.

I mean... the entire thing is disturbing. From the strangely credentialist approach to the entire birthing process to the image of a newborn injured by forceps.

But I think that the part that most rubbed me wrong was the realization that it Apgar (a rather crude system for summarizing neonatal health, IMO) that, in part, caused the C-section to rise in popularity.

That's gross. It's like using `free` to measure RAM usage on your server, and then determining that every app with usage over n needs tighter JPG compression, reducing image quality. In other words: you measured the wrong thing, implemented the wrong fix, reduced the quality of the outcome, and then made the above standard practice.

Just bringing it up wouldn't be enough, though, it has to be announced to screen readers. Or it would have to have a non-interactive way to work for screen readers.

Reason I'm asking is that this is non-trivial, and takes time to verify with different browsers and NVDA and JAWS. Having dependencies solving these issues are great.
Nice to see compatibility with Preact and Inferno too. I use Preact a lot and only downside I experience really is lack of library support.
That's certainly true. Generally speaking though, it's up to one's own network to know which ASs Google are routing for - and filter ranges not owned by any of those ASs. At worst you should route out of your known transit networks and (for the time google is being stupid) simply get non-optimal routing. Ideally your PNI agreement will include cost recovery for bad-acts like advertising non-owned space (but they probably won't) causing session drops and thus making your transit bill go up. Google being stupid (or any PNI, non-transit peer) should never cause your network to drop customer packets on the floor due to completely invalid routing.
There's no proof or sources for this. It's just more malicious nonsense. Salaries in Spain are less because, ironically, many Spanish harvest workers are from Eastern Europe and Poland and they accept these wages. And many of the harvest workers in France are actually people from Spain who come for the higher salaries and better working conditions! None of these people are illegal immigrants.

There is a pretty severe imbalance of labor standards and it's questionable whether French winemakers should simply accept this "because the EU."

Unfortunately, short of nationalistic marketing campaigns, there's nothing that can practically be done about cheap(er) Spanish wines flooding into France. It becomes a big problem because wine is so culturally important to the French. The solution is to do what the USA does for its corn farmers and simply pay billions in direct subsidy [1] but in Europe these sorts of subsidies are anathema. The result is excess internal competition and a race to the bottom just like what you saw in the USA before the "farm income stablization" bills.

It is a certainty that some traffic is fake.. In this case it is doubleclick on websites and (from the commission numbers) probably over other ad networks, so Google has one connection's header and a few ms to triage the traffic. But the anomalies there are probably not so different than if I setup an open proxy and invite real people to use it.

Being cynical makes sense, but then it is actually more likely that Google has been generating fake traffic on fb than fake traffic for itself and vice versa. FB spent years being irrelevant to much of the market while getting a lot of money from less savvy advertisers for bot networks. I don't think the short-term revenue was worth it to them and I would be surprised if their exec bonuses weren't mostly hurt by missing targets and losing big advertisers.

Another way to look at it, is a requirement to accept uncertainty - the existence of unknowns - or indeed "unknowables".

To each their own - but I don't see "There are some things we cannot describe in our system of knowledge" as a particularly strong proof for the existence of God.

Perhaps some of us have been imbued with an unhealthy and naive lust for certainty, in part by an education system that put an emphasis on right and wrong answers rather than on the quest for better questions?

A Whisper in an Age of Shouting
> money that already exists

What does "exist" mean? The currency exists, but the amounts transfered over visa and other systems is not related to how much physical banknotes exist.

I haven't touched a banknote or coin in over a year. If they didn't exist I wouldn't have noticed.

You could argue that puts me in the hands of banks and visa/mc and you'd be correct. They know more about me than I'd like. But I hope the energy cost of my transactions are pretty low. More and more stores no longer accept cash, meaning they have no transports for cash.

The currency I use is not backed by a large gold reserve nor a huge military. Just a regular national bank of a small country.

So visa isn't money, but a central bank, commercial banks and visa can maintain a currency without the need for a lot of physical money, and hopefully with reasonable energy use.
Great plot for Black Mirror episode.
This article highlights the real downside to progressive globalization and a major reason for the recent rise of populism (Trump, Brexit, etc). The populist message of "bringing back the good 'ol days" is an impossibility but the underlying economic frailty of large swaths of people is very real.

While typically a free market fan, I do believe the pendulum has swung too far towards globalism in the last couple of decades. In general, this has vastly improved the lives of millions of very poor families in developing nations - but at a significant cost to families like blue collar Americans, leaving millions feeling that they're being left behind by technological progress, foreign labor, and politics/media that increasingly focuses on the "glamorous" US coastal cities. This is a gross oversimplification of the myriad of intertwined issues but this is the general perception for a lot of people.

We'd better figure out how to address this perception and begin to work on tangible solutions soon or this type of violent response may only be the tip of the iceberg.
I do agree with your observation:

I remember a particularly vivid example of some of my coworkers at Google suggesting the Go tutorial, starting at https://tour.golang.org/welcome/1, to someone completely new to programming. They couldn't even understand how it's not perfectly clear and simple.

That being said the book that I've seen most success with getting someone from absolutely zero to "can start making progress on their own" is "How to Design Programs" (http://www.ccs.neu.edu/home/matthias/HtDP2e/index.html). It helps that the authors regularly teach absolute beginners.

The great part about preparedness planning is there is a kind of vaccination herd immunity effect at play. The more people who take minimal measures like you list, the less intensive efforts preparedness-minded have to invest into. To your example, if 90%+ drivers keep a flat of bottled water, then it makes sense to only keep a water filter at one's home instead of one in the car for long trips and one at home.
