good advice all around. thank you.

> If you have industry experience, reach out to your network. Both for trying to get actual leads and for simply soliciting their feedback, even if they won't be a customer themselves. The feedback in and of itself will be valuable, and after you've exposed it to them, they may know of someone to connect you with, and eventually you'll land on someone that's willing to bite.

i didn't have industry experience when i started but the rest of the team does (decades worth). we've been doing essentially this - leveraging their network to "solicit feedback", i.e. pitch the product.

> Is the added value worth the headache of integrating your tool?

this is probably the crux of the issue for me. there is too much operational cost in actually rolling out the product i think. a lot of it revolves around the customer essentially reselling this product. we've considered taking reseller sales in house (i.e. customer signs a contract with us and we resell our own product on their behalf) but that basically multiplies my problems ten fold.

> Are you BANT qualifying them

no and i should be for every call. thank you. i need to make a list of thing i'm trying to learn about each lead on each call.
Fascinating (no sarcasm). Through what mechanism do libertarians propose to prevent these behaviors?

> I know some, but not many, badly overweight people who exercise regularly.

There's a lot of reverse causality in that relationship. Being badly overweight makes exercise more unpleasant and prone to cause injury.
I found my tier 1/2 techs would often miss steps during certain functions, and started making required checklists in jira before jobs could be closed. Rates of "this still isn't fixed" went way down, which is a great, low effort high reward thing in an IT department.
If almost your entire userbase is running Windows you're gonna end up needing to deal with it anyways, one way or another. You can at least be glad to be dealing with Win32, which other than user32 (which is a bit crazy for compatibility reasons, though I'm not sure if X11 is much better) is actually far more reasonable than it's contemporaries.

Compare doing fast async file I/O on Win32 vs POSIX. On Win32 it just boils down to creating an IOCP pipe, creating some worker threads, setting up the file handles and using the right flags in read/write calls. It's a bit obtuse, but the code that does it ends up reasonable, and it's the same drill for sockets. Doing that on POSIX? You get blocking, uncancelable I/O calls and threads to work with, that's it. Good luck, though the documentation involved is far simpler (or just use something like libuv if you value your sanity).

Using a library here would be preferable, but I really don't see why using Win32 would be the problem and not the fact that it's non-portable.
Come to think of it, will there be anything stopping ISPs from literally injecting their own ads into our applications as they move along the pipe? I can see SSL offering some protection, unless they get to pick and choose who can use SSL (which they will be able to). That's a troubling thought.
I like Vlaamse frites (Flemish fries / Belgian fries) including the sour touch. You can get them in The Netherlands as well though amidst the countless of "normal" and French fries stores. They're also very easy to make yourself, even with an airfryer. I like them with green pepper sauce, also easy to make yourself. Dutch stores I can recommend Manneken Pis in Amsterdam center (therefore a bit more expensive) or Reitz in Maastricht at the Markt square.
You can also have three antennas in the car, and have high speed electronics measure the RF delay as received on each antenna. From there the key can tell how far away it is from the car (similar to how GPS works), and it would only respond to the challenge when it is in the proper position.

Anyone that claims something will crash should put their money where their mouth is and short it.

If someone comes out telling me something will crash but they don't show me they're shorting it, that makes it suspect. My next immediate question is: what's your gain in convincing people that something will crash?

Well, since you've worked with those kinds of actuators I hope you can clarify something I wasn't sure about in the article: can the same muscle perform different actions? For example, could you have a muscle that can bend to the left, then to the right of some central line?

I'm asking because the statement [edit: in the article] that "designing how the skeleton folds defines how the whole structure moves" makes me think that perhaps the range of motions each muscle can perform is limited by construction.

Ahem. That's not to downplay the obvious usefuleness of such a device. As far as I'm concerned t's the first time in ages I find a robotics piece of news cool.

Well, I did not intend to say IETF does everything right, but their signal-to-noise ratio is better by orders of magnitude.

Also, I'm under the impression that IETF learned from that utter failure and took measures to prevent similar mistakes in the future (please correct me if I'm wrong).

I did not observe that W3C actually learned anything from their mistakes, but produced less and less useful things over time (again, please correct me if I'm wrong).
Maybe I’m understanding incorrectly: 13k in teacher salaries would be per course taught by a teacher right? Which really means cost should be 1/4th.

52k per student for a 5,000 student college is 260m per year of claimed expenditure. That is quite a lot money for a faculty of 700, even after subtracting boarding and scholarships, no? I do not know where money is going, although the Bain research does seem to support the evidence for concluding that admin is a benefactor of it.

Evan writes posts about multiple languages, IIRC. I had seen his blog earlier and read a few posts about other languages.

Another blogger with an interesting blog, who writes about multiple languages, is Chris Double. His blog is https://bluishcoder.co.nz (Bluish Coder is an anagram of his name, IIRC). I recently saw a post on his blog called "Introduction to J." The post also has a short list of links for learning J.

jsoftware.com is the J site.

1) What's the age range for children, here? All, 0-18? Something else?

2) Is this per kid or per parent? That is, do you get more "points" if you have three kids and spend an hour with all three than if you spend an hour with just one of them, or does it count the same? Per kid the latter'd be lower averaged over the three, per parent it's the same. Looks like it's per-parent but I'm not entirely sure.

[EDIT] notably, if it's per-parent, this doesn't necessarily mean kids are getting as much more total time with their parents as it might seem. Mom spending an hour, then dad spending an hour separately, is 2 hours of kid-with-at-least-one-parent time, but both parents at the same time for one hour is two parent-hours of time but only one hour of time-with-at-least-one-parent for the kid.

[EDIT EDIT] of course the other metric would be vulnerable to that too, I was sloppy. Point is I'd be curious how much time-with-any-parent for each kid went up over the same period.
First, I'll say this until I'm blue: articles like this preach to the choir. MFA? Yeah, raise your hand if you're against that. This is HN, so I'm not surprised to see only a couple of hands up. You, you in the back in the blue shirt. Your hand is up, care to explain why. Ah, thank you. Yes, MFA adds expense for no immediate discernible benefit. One last question: are you a C-level? Mmm, thought so, thank you.

Just yesterday I interviewed at a company that is next door to a company I worked for ten years ago, which is why this comes to mind. Biometric MFA by the flight and dwell times of how you type your password. Clever, it worked and the company had customers. But our product cost money, security questions are practically free, and security questions count as "MFA". Without looking, I doubt the company is still in business. The fact that the company didn't turn into a license to print money out to tell you something. That was the "time to admit..." moment for me, some ten years ago.

So, yeah, preach MFA and everything on that list all you want, but you'll have to convince my CxO who holds the purse strings. And when we get breached, my CxO will publicly say, "evil hackers, there was nothing to be done!" and get away with it. A trivial fine at worst, and a little shaming, and life goes on. Don't believe me? After the Equifax breach, the stock took a hit. When I thought the worst was over, I bought call options (since sold) and made bank. Granted, EFX is still down about 25% from its pre-breach highs, but it still bounced up about 25% from its post-breach low because after rending our garments we realized nothing much will change, so back to business-as-usual.
It most certainly is still in print. Fantastic translation.

I had success with pitching to consultancies. They have the right contacts and are probably interested in re-selling your cool and innovative product. Contact details of the right managers are usually published on their website because they want new customers to call them (but no one is stopping you to contact them for pitching :)).
It's not the same danger in the same way, until car steering, et al, have a dependency on proprietary firmware that we can't inspect and understand. In the meantime, the mechanical components can be cut open, their operation understood. What's more likely than uncommanded veering, is you lose power steering, and can't easily steer.

>One analysis of 11 rich countries estimates that the average mother spent 54 minutes a day caring for children in 1965 but 104 minutes in 2012. Men do less than women, but far more than men in the past: their child-caring time has jumped from 16 minutes a day to 59.

I spend 100+ minutes every day changing diapers. Actually that's not true, most of my time is spent trying to put the stupid newborn to go to sleep. I thought paternity leave was going to be chill and maybe I can learn a new hobby, master javascript, or travel to Europe. Nope, more stress than day job.

I think fatherhood is evolving too. My father's generation almost did nothing and that was acceptable. That is changing. One of the women in a dual income family says "Mom handles input, Dad handles output."

Net neutrality doesn't prevent data caps, all it does is stating that ISP has no business prioritizing/blocking one site over the other.

Essentially makes ISP just provide access to the Internet, and how you going to use it is all up to you.

From the examples you gave, how do you feel about blocking VoIP, tethering (even though they already had data caps, why do they care how I'm going to use the data allocated to me?) how do you feel about telus blocking access to site that was about labor strike by their employees, what if that would be used for political gains (blocking sites company doesn't agree with?)

As for bittorrent, question. If a company is offering internet connection with specific parameters and they then fail to deliver on that promise that's in my opinion a false advertising.

If they have so many consumers that they can't guarantee the speeds they provided it means they oversold, and they should be advertising it as a lower speed than they actually did.

As for MetroPCS I'm not sure what the zero rating thing is, I guess you're talking about them blocking all streaming except youtube. That's once again a false advertising. They do that so they could say they offer "unlimited" plans, even though they didn't.

As a consumer I want companies to be honest with me, what they are providing so I can know ahead when I make decision. Saying something is "Unlimited*" is misleading, because it's not really. The FCC also introduced "food labels" for ISPs which reduced their ability to lie to customers.
@tptacek and @idlewords can you share how you are teaching these non-tech people how to use a password manager?

In my experience it's far from intuitive even if you're using 1Password. Just the first step of explaining how to create a master password that is strong enough to protect all the other secrets is a challenge. I try and describe the diceware process because it will yield a better result than what the user will come up with.

Anything you can share would be appreciated.

The problem is that 90% of the time the parents are now on their phones.

Seriously I find myself on my phone and not interacting with my kids at times and I am super sensitive about phones.

I don't allow phones during meals, during family time and not when someone is talking with you. I break my own rules a ton :(
I hate Win10 with passion, but I agree. Don't know why you get downvoted.

One of my father's laptops runs Xubuntu. It's totally fine too. He doesn't even know what root permissions are and he never needs them. But still, sometimes he has to install something and I have to help. The point is, I never get asked to help with W10 neither from friends or family, which is actually amazing.
There's no reason to use a Mac anymore unless you're targeting iOS. The performance is better, the tools are better, the battery life is longer (for laptops), the input devices are better, and the connectivity is better for Linux development machines. Switch (TM).
I've read in some paper about Ice Cream Test:

Whether your 7 years old can get to the corner store and back after buying an ice cream there without encountering any dangers such as traffic.

Immediately thought that you could be jailed for that in some jurisdictions. Having said that, I think the number of people who let their kids free-range is decreasing everywhere unfortunately.
The world changed because the courts struck down the ability of the FCC to enforce net neutrality principles through case-by-case actions in 2010, and struck down the Title I net neutrality regulations that were adopted in 2010 in 2014. The US has had the FCC pursuing net neutrality enforcement for most of the time since 2004, but the tools have changed because of court rulings, which have left Title II the only tool left.
Mostly through Wunderlist. I try to keep as few lists as possible so I force myself to prioritize, so I only have two: Work and Not-Work (my "Inbox").

I'll make temporary lists for specific, detailed tasks like a moving checklist or a packing checklist. Afterwards, I'll delete them.

As for the tasks themselves, I try to make them as fine-grained as possible. Like, "write tests for that function you wrote", or "talk to Allen about something". Sometimes they're just questions I have that I need to think about, like "what about this edge case?" or "how far back do we look?"

Usually there's something else that tracks what I have to do at a higher level, i.e. JIRA or Trello. In those cases, at the end of my current tasks, I simply have a "look at JIRA"
You won’t have CPS called on you for letting your children wander and play in the neighbor. Please don’t spread nonsense.

Edited with my response to everyone depositing articles about the Meitivs:

Nobody “called CPS on” the Meitivs. Somebody called the polic because they saw the children wandering around a parking garage (not a park like in many of the news stories. See [1].) The police officer then called CPS several times wondering what to do with children before finally driving over to CPS when they were dragging their heels[2].
[1] https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/free-range-family-again....
[2] Not that I think CPS is great. As a teacher, it’s basically impossible to get CPS to do anything unless the parents are abusing the children right in front of you on school property. Part of that is CPS being overworked and underfunded/understaffed. Part of that is that is it still usually better to keep the kids with their parents instead of foster care. And part of it is CPS not having the resources to have more options besides arrest parents or do nothing (like offering social services to the parents). Also I would argue there is a difference between letting your children play in the neighborhood outside your house and just leaving your children at the park for hours. I have had students who haven been abandoned at the park with their younger siblings.
> "Then I have a maxed out XPS 13 which is a very nice and capable machine that suits me completely, except that it has a malicious OS that I have to constantly fight. And Linux doesn't support a lot of the tools I need.

So..... what's the solution here?"

The solution is sitting in your hands. That XPS 13 can run Ubuntu (and probably Debian, Arch/Antergos, or any other major distro) flawlessly since Dell ships a version with Ubuntu preinstalled. Set it up to dual boot with Windows, and use VirtualBox's raw hard disk access feature to set up a Windows guest under Linux using the Windows partition as the VM's boot drive.

That way, you can slowly wean yourself off of Windows; use the VM for your Windows-only tasks with the option of booting natively into Windows for anything strictly hardware dependent, until you have replaced your Windows workflow with Linux. Even if you find you can't 100% escape Windows, at least you're not living in it so you're not being spied on all day.

Yes, CPS in one state did something ambiguous and alarming to self-proclaimed "free range" parents.

No, you probably don't have the full story that a guy who had never seen the children before was concerned about their safety in that part of town, he decided to call 911 instead of talking to the kids and coming off as a creep.

Yes, that one town's police department did get the CPS' attention, and the CPS did an investigation and found something arbitrary which is rightfully concerning.

No, this isn't indicative of the entire US culture or widespread neighborly paranoia about children walking unattended.
