That goes in the right direction. Now play it quicker, spend less time on the data entry (which nobody finds exiting) and more on the exiting parts. Show loads of customers signing on and how they are paying their bills, which makes Tony richer and richer.

Also the video shows clearly that you miss marketing skills. Consider going out there and finding a cofounder with marketing skills. He should be older than you, good looking and preferably have a degree in economy.
I see no issue with the education system. You can learn anything you want on demand, for what is basically no cost whatsoever (other than your time and minor incidentals), with virtually no barrier to entry.

The credentialing and licensing process is horribly broken, but only related to education to the extent that we have decided to sometimes link them together. There is no intrinsic relationship between them.

I can do that in other metro areas, but I can't earn >$200k a year easily in other metro areas - not even close. Also don't forget about the beautiful weather year-round. I will have retirement money in my mid 30s and by 40 I can comfortably retire provided that I don't get hit by a car or suffer one of life's many random tragedies.

If I have a significant other who is also a high earner, then ironically both of our cost of living will go down because of things like splitting rent, splitting groceries, making food at home (easier to shop groceries for 2+ people). A dual income household in SF with good career trajectories can easily put you in the half-a-mil a year range.

It's the kids that make this infinitely more difficult. At that point I'd probably consider moving to a lower COL place. But I'm not sure I want kids - that's a decision for later.

As much as people love to knock on SF, I have a great life here and so do so many others. It's absolutely possible if you're a decent software engineer which is the lens through which I write this comment. Obviously if you're making $60k a year in a commoditized career, you're going to have a bad time. Also if home ownership is that important to you for some reason, then SF probably isn't the place for you either.
It strikes me that this option was intended as a compromise for a certain transition period after which it might be removed completely, at least on consumer boards. Besides the point is to be able to use Secure Boot without having to play by Microsoft's rules and restrictions.

Why not have an equivalent of Let's Encrypt for secure boot, i.e., a non-profit foundation or a cooperative committee that distributes the master key and allows everyone (including MS) to get their kernels signed? That would be the best of both worlds. Instead we're moving farther away from it gradually.

I watched/skimmed the first two minutes of this video. The lack of audio seems off-putting and amateur (so does the Big Head). It also seems a lot like a video of someone filling out a form. I feel like most people will be able to fill out a form without needing a video walkthrough and the video walkthrough doesn't really convey the usefulness of the product - which should be in the very beginning of the product.

I'd expect an explanatory video to have audio, and to cover the core utility of the project.

Here is what I think will occur : New Macbook Pro (not a refresh) will probably have this chip in but it will be probably only be used initially for iOS emulator for developers. The next release of macOS will probably have iOS apps that you can run on a mac. Then they will replace the Macbook Air line in to a Macbook Arm as a new product launch at the beginning of 2019.
Google in AI, browsers, streaming video, search, mobile and a number of other things.
I don't think we really know what it could be yet. Looks to be a inroad to phasing in ARM chips in Mac products.
Wife has 57 running on her older model laptop (Win7, 32 bit). Just found her trying to kill firefox because it was too slow; she was dismayed by the proliferation of multiple firefox.exe processes instead of the usual one. (I advised about "kill process tree"; seems to have worked).

The article assertion is very big in computing = Microsoft of the 90s. I can be wrong but there have not been any anti-competition steps taken at AWS yet.

AWS has been light years ahead when it came to cloud computing and now they are having the first mover advantage and the dominant position. But will it last very long? It is very hard to say, over the years companies which were thought infallible have gone down.
> When major banks fail they take out major parts of the economy.

Sure. So... do the bankers go to jail?

Nope. They get bonuses.

It's a great scam. They play with your money. If they lose, oh well, the government will bail them out. If they win, they keep the money. And either way, the people in charge get large bonuses.

Only Iceland chose to charge the bankers who engaged in predatory / illegal behavior. Every other country pretty gave them a handshake, and a pat on the back.

And it's still ongoing.

Look, if the bank is "too big to fail", by all means bail them out. But nationalize it, fire the idiots in charge, and sell off the assets to people who aren't robber barons.

6. After any surgery, your cholesterol soars. It also increases when you battle infections, are under a lot of stress, or have had a heart attack. Reason being, your body relies on cholesterol as a healing agent – to help create new cells whenever they’re needed. Exposure to environmental agents and toxins can also affect your cholesterol levels.

7. Toxic chemicals, free radicals, pathogens, trans-fats and other damaging agents you’re exposed to end up in your blood stream, where they damage the endothelium – the razor-thin lining of your blood vessels. When endothelial cells need to be repaired, your liver sends LDL to the site, and when the healing process concludes, HDL carries the spent LDL particles back to the liver to be removed from your body.

The "hey" tool itself is just a command-line interface to the messaging/scripting system built into the Haiku interface kit (that it's essentially built around). Someone once wrote a module for Python to interface with it as well (although it's ancient and I doubt it works with modern Python: https://github.com/HaikuArchives/HeyModule).

And of course there is the Hey source itself, which you could use as a reference to write a new scripting platform with (https://github.com/haiku/haiku/blob/master/src/bin/hey.cpp).
"We help freelancers become more professional with automatic streamlined process for managerial tasks like client onboarding, signing NDA and requirement collection right from their personal website."

"with automatic streamlined process" should probably be "an automatic streamlined process". I don't think the way it is now is technically wrong but it doesn't feel right.

"Never delay your client to wait for an NDA." doesn't really make sense. "Never delay your client with an NDA" or "Never make your client wait for an NDA" would be better.

"This will be automatically added to your calendar." technically correct but I think native speakers would more often say "This will automatically be added to your calendar".

As an OpenBSD fan: consider Qubes instead if you want a "desktop" experience. OpenBSD works fine, but the open-source desktop is quite vulnerable (consider how many things need to go wrong for https://scarybeastsecurity.blogspot.nl/2016/12/redux-comprom...), and a lot of OpenBSD's hardening is in the (simpler) base system, not in GNOME / KDE / Firefox / Chrome / ...

Alternatively, consider not running a full-blown desktop or using Windows, which has grown a lot more secure since the Windows XP pre-SP2 days.
Less certainty than if you'd have ECC RAM. If you can afford it, and you're using ZFS, you should seriously consider ECC RAM.

No, I'd say that the weakest point is the IPC marshalling necessary to connect all of the containers together into a cohesive system. That's what I'd attack first.
How so? Is it the delivery aspect? Grocery delivery is huge in other parts of the world already. In fact, some grocers run their own services - like Morrisons in the UK.

The US is the one that's behind and if I were to take a guess, it's the suburban sprawl that makes last-mile delivery prohibitive in many parts of the mid-west, etc.

> it will be probably only be used initially for iOS emulator for developers

This is quite a large technical undertaking, with a very small pay-off given the tiny percentage of users who develop on their Mac for iOS devices. I can't see this being something that happens until x86 CPUs have been removed entirely.
Converging the Mac and the i products sounds like a terrible idea, as long as iOS insists on running non-windowed apps.

Serious workloads is very inefficient without a proper windowed desktop environment combined with a Finder and a Terminal that can access files across all apps.

Also, having an x86-compatible CPU at the core enables high enough performance for virtualbox/vmware, which is a huge enabler in that it allows running windows or linux VMs side by side (or even integrated) with the native desktop.

A converged ARM-based Macbook sounds very much like a toy computer; a facebook+youtube media consumption station with an option for perhaps doing limited creative work such as composing an iMovie or touching up some photos at the most.
What about Cisco?
A good place to look, but do note that that's the code written by the Qubes OS people - presumably, it's written with security in mind. Of course, Xen has had more eyeballs, so...
Could handle Face ID, etc. Possibly offload video encoding/transcoding? The A10 can handle 4K HEVC. Not sure what the point would be with dedicated graphics doing the same.
I wonder if macOS will be able to run userspace code on this. Apple's ARM chips are pretty fast, so this could be extra 50% of computing power for the iMac.

From software side they've already done similar things in the past (fat binaries, Rosetta).
It only took me a few weeks to get caught up and be a proficient iOS developer, but it takes several months to know all the pods, architecture design patterns, tooling and gotchas to be able to lead a team and avoid months of mistakes and rewrites. The official APIs are a small part of it.
It sounds like you're targeting new freelancers. Yet it is existing freelancers that understand the pain you are trying to solve.

It looks like you have 5-6 average tools in one package, not one killer tool that would make it worth switching.

Your copy doesn't read like a native English speaker and doesn't pull on any emotions or hit on the pain point you are trying to address.

I would contact all of your signups. Ask them which feature they were most interested in. Make it so the tool only does that 1 thing for now and take a MUCH lower monthly payment.

From there you can learn what people need next and add on features slowly so people aren't overwhelmed by your product.

Also you should note that you started this post with "it's not the product". It IS the product but it can be fixed.
Here is the naked truth. As a freelancer this service doesn't appear to be worth $29 a month. As it sits now this service isn't worth free a month to me. I wouldn't use anything on it.

The site issues are repainting a sinking boat. It's a waste of time and energy.

I've been were you are, built things and dreamed about what a great hit they'd be then no one wanted them and it sucks so not trying to be a downer because I understand the pain but I also understand it's important that prospective clients level with you about their needs so you can re-calibrate.

Before anything, you must determine some real value you can provide. Scheduling and NDA's aren't it. I'm not going to funnel leads through your "online assistant". Nor will I use a premade web template. It's my business and my livelihood. I don't know you and am not going to take chances in that regard.

If you do want to stick with this market here is what I would use. A time tracker with hours (possibly w/ screenshots like Upwork). Invoicing based on the previous. A chat forum (like Slack but simpler) to stay in contact and preserve communication. Possibly a central document store (specs, mockups etc) and a place non git using clients could retrieve code/ check on progress. A change order/issue tracker accessible to non-technical clients. These things already exist though so you'd need to be better/faster/cheaper.
Sometimes I think life is just one big joke and that I'm going to wake up in a lab with technicians around me laughing "He really believed yellow labradors evolved from wolves! How gullible!"
It is the return to the roots, just like Apple used to be before OS X happened.

They only became more open out of necessity.
If that's how you feel, making your company a cooperative or a platform cooperative is probably a safer bet, albeit possibly more work. Giving away shares, while it appears easy, is illegal and has other disadvantages.

Which one do you use on a Chromebook (I assume on ChromeOS)? Because I've seen only extensions that require installing regular pass so probably on a Linux machine.
To add to this:
I would start with basic analogue electronics as it forms the basis of everything else on this list. I found https://courses.edx.org/courses/course-v1:MITx+6.002.1x_1+2T... reasonably good for this.

Learning analogue fundamentals, learning to read a datasheet (probably one of the most important skills for real electronics design!), and C for embedded systems are probably the real keys here.
Well I don't think Apple will be as senseless as they have been with the iPad Pro. I think they will converge them, but continue to support classic Mac interaction models (keyboard + mouse).

With all the competition from Microsoft's Surface lineup we'll probably see the iPad shift even more towards the Mac side of interaction as well.

To your second point about performance: have we really seen what a high wattage ARM CPU can do?
>Similar to cartoons, I have similar complaints about "conversational style" that many authors think helps with pedagogy but it really doesn't. (You can explain things terribly while using a conversational tone, and likewise, explain things clearly without a serious tone.) I'll save that criticism of that for another essay.

If "you can explain things terribly while using a conversational tone, and likewise, explain things clearly without a serious tone", then does it not suggest the tone is not a good signal for quality?

David Griffith's Intro to EM book is written in conversational style. And is by far the best book I've seen on introductory EM (and I've read a bunch).
It says “29$/month” instead of “$29 / month” in the “For Starters” section. Putting the dollar sign after the number just seems foreign. The sentence right after that is a run-on sentence.

What: Enter a new Market that 'was' supplanting an existing market

I'm not sure what you meant by business here. Windows is a product from MS which is segmented by different markets. There's a business need and a consumer facing need. It got beat in the latter. It also didn't move fast enough to reach the mobile market so it got beat in speed as well.

The consumer facing product has been assaulted. Consumers are buying PCs, and by extension Windows, less. MS was impacted and Ballmer resigned. That was the whole pivot to the Cloud by Satya. All this is common knowledge.
Something akin to the ChromeOS developer switch?
Would be good to see data showing people actually switching to iPhones as they get wealthier.

My gut says that Android dominance means that companies in emerging markets build Android first apps, everyone around you has Android phones and you already know how to use the platform, which all leads to the same inertia Apple benefits from in the US.

You're right that they've managed to hang on to their premium branding, I just don't know if this matters in comparison to devices and apps that are actually tailored to local market.

I mean, the US government no doubt had influence on the Trusted Computing Group (too bad the EFF totally shunned it), and through the magic of product binning and chip fab costs, we all have trusted platform modules.

I'm certain you are in a position to accomplish a great deal, no matter where you are in the hierarchy. Maybe the future is x86 hardware emulation for user mode processes.
