> I pay for my NYT and WaPo subscription, but probably can't (or won't) be paying for Atlantic.

Ironically, I think the way the Atlantic iterated on their model put me off. While NYT and others went to a paywall with limited free views, Atlantic blocked anyone with an adblocker.

So, when I chose to subscribe to some journalism outlets, I was engaged with the NYT, WaPo, and WSJ. I was already trained by the Atlantic’s adblocker blocker to ignore them.

Now they’re moving to a reasonably hefty-sounding subscription model. Great, but my media budget has already been consumed by NYT, WaPo, WSJ, The Economist, and a handful of professional journals. And, again, they’ve already trained me to ignore their site.

I have no trouble imagining an alternative timeline in which they had my money, but the manner in which they iterated on their model killed it for me.

Hmm...would you simply walk across the busy street in front of the Haubptbahnhof and expect the cars to stop for you?

Or would you take the overpass, or wait at the traffic light?

Definitely someone is being rude in the scenario, I don't think it is the cyclists. (And no, you are not allowed to cross a street just because a bus stopped).
I don't see the problem with adds that are targeted to a specific age group or other characteristics of a person, and I am talking about the adds that pop up in my timeline or on the right side panel. But if I actively search for a job and it is hidden from me because I am not in the target audience then yes, that is discrimination.

Ex: I am 25, male, Java developer, I don't want to be bombarded by adds about nursing jobs or adds about nail polish , but if I type in the search bar :"nursing jobs in <myArea>" then I want all nursing jobs in my area and the same thing about nail polish.

1. The battery may not be user replaceable, but it is replaceable. Apple will do it for you for like $80, which doesn't seem horrendous on a 3 year old $600 phone.

2. Agreed, the battery page in Settings should say "your battery is old, performance will be reduced in demanding situations"

3. FWIW iPhone X has a noticeably longer battery life than iPhone 7 had. Some of that may be down to the OLED screen (which sounds like it may be a standard feature across all 2018 iPhones), but is likely also due to the battery getting more space in the chassis. I'd be going to bed with the 7 in single digit percentages, where last night my X had over 50% left.

So you met one guy with a lot of chronic health problems and assume that everyone else in his age group is similar?

Or if not then I'm not sure what your point is. People who miss a lot of work and make excuses for being belligerent don't make the greatest employees, but there's not as much correlation as you think between that and age.

You can’t expect to extract any value from cameras under police control.

The cameras must exist beyond the reach of police departments, and publish footage in a way that cannot be censored.

The body cameras get censored because the police have created a system that benefits them, above all else.

The reality of this outcome should weigh heavily on everyone’s mind, about how this correlates with every other aspect of police activity.

> Also, that the product is 10% better/more stable/whatever frequently does not translate into even a 10% increase in sales. So it's not worth it (from the business' perspective) to invest in that quality.

Here is the core of the problem, and it's more of an incompatibility of goals than errors of one of the parties. Businesses want to make money. They usually don't give a flying fuck about what their product is or does beyond the point it gets sold. Does it waste users' time and piss them off? They paid us, which means they value it, so everything is ok.

Engineers, on the other hand, tend to care about what value the product actually provides to their users. So they would rather invest effort in making the product better for the users, instead of making it better for sales team to sell.

I don't really see the way out of this conflict. The engineers are right, but the businesses are right too - it's the business that pays and suffers (some of) the consequences, so it's the business that gets to tell engineers what to do, and not the other way around. If CEO is making a stupid decision, that's on CEO.

The way I see actually useful software gets done, it's outside or on the side of a business, not within it.
All you said is true.

Forget to mention, aside from that, I love Singapore in general and I have no illusion that the US is getting more hostile by the day. I have been in the US as a foreigner for 10 years. Last time I came back, I was hassled and treated like a piece of shit by a customs official, too (and I love how they ask for social accounts now, I hope they don't ask for HN?). Recently I was extremely upset having so much difficulties getting my driver's license renewed. I think the new Trump thing made it so much worse too, but I'd rather not dig into the Trump thing. In Singapore? Government officials did treat me like a human, I absolutely loved that.

However, once you're in in the US, you have NYC, Chicago, SF and you also have Smallville or Lancesterville in the middle of nowhere. In those supposedly backward, homophobic X-villes, you can see part of why some people love the US so much. It's still the life we love in the 80s-90s movies like Back in the future or Groundhog day. They have no cameras, people greet you on the street, and you can go for miles and miles by car, bike, or on foot and you wouldn't see any other person.

Yeah, I get it, it's not legal drinking a beer in the public. I used to live in a rented house downtown with other graduate students in a relatively big town that houses the state's biggest college. During the summertime weekends, we often just drank and smoked and played the guitar (and flute, and banged on broken guitar) all night long on the front porch and watched the cops patrolled by. The other day in X-ville, we smoked our asses out one night. The next morning, I jumped on my friend's 70s truck and saw a 6-pack of beers, some new, some empty. I asked whether we should move it back, and I quote his answer, "Have some man, it's X-ville, no one actually gives a fuck." We blasted an FM channel full of country songs, cranked the window down, and I rode shotgun in a glorious sunrise.

Ternary logic is a pretty niche thing. As I understand it the claimed benefit is improved efficiency / elegance for some mathematical operations when run on a ternary computer.

However since all modern hardware is binary, the use of ternary logic only serves to introduce an unnecessary software based translation layer, simultaneously increasing complexity and reducing performance.

I would consider this to be an example of very poor engineering judgement. Good software is simple software. I would be extremely concerned if a colleague suggested such needless overcomplication.

This is a great point. Older devs are generally "better" than young ones on every metric (including per hour costs). BUT you won't find these. The people that will apply for jobs when old, are not representative of older devs, they are representative of older devs without strong networks.

> And software is a field moves so fast, talking about relevance of skills in 5 years term doesn't make too much sense.

I'm not sure this is necessarily true of all of software. We tend to forget (especially on this site that has an extreme "startup" focus) that most of software dev is still people working with older (5, 10 or 15 years old) tech in a megacorp or public authority somewhere. You don't "see" these people because they don't post to stackoverflow, they don't blog about tech and they don't show up on github. What they do doesn't show up in "language trends" that just look at stackoverflow or github. Because it's just a job, it's not breaking new ground. I work in a 30 man team of 40year olds, where no one really fits the "startup" model.

Of course many of these people (I'm one) will have problems finding jobs if they weren't actually "good" devs. If you grow comfortable and don't have a network, you'll have trouble finding a new job after 50 if your tech has gone out of style. But Java, C# etc are going to be in demand for a LONG time yet. Most of software tech isn't about the latest js framework.

Also, as long as you stay in the same industry, the main asset of a developer is the domain knowledge from the problem domain, not software development.

I personally don't believe in BTC's future in terms of tech. It has already played its hand - see the entire crypto space - so I'm under no illusion about its limited potential (in its current form). However, it has made me a fair bit of money, and I feel that it could possibly still make me more in the short term. I've already withdrawn my initial investment and the capital I'm using to explore this space is basically "profit" from those same initial investments so whatever I lose is basically only opportunity costs.

Massive just opensourced the server for World in Conflict
Orwell seems to indicate that some of the British were notorious for it at one point, too. From "Politics and the English Language"[1]:

"Consider for instance some comfortable English professor defending Russian totalitarianism. He cannot say outright, ‘I believe in killing off your opponents when you can get good results by doing so’. Probably, therefore, he will say something like this:

‘While freely conceding that the Soviet regime exhibits certain features which the humanitarian may be inclined to deplore, we must, I think, agree that a certain curtailment of the right to political opposition is an unavoidable concomitant of transitional periods, and that the rigors which the Russian people have been called upon to undergo have been amply justified in the sphere of concrete achievement.’

The inflated style itself is a kind of euphemism. A mass of Latin words falls upon the facts like soft snow, blurring the outline and covering up all the details. The great enemy of clear language is insincerity. When there is a gap between one's real and one's declared aims, one turns as it were instinctively to long words and exhausted idioms, like a cuttlefish spurting out ink."

Using ternary logic causes a lot of things (like the custom cypto) to be non-standard and thus hard to evaluate. "Rolling your own crypto" is a red flag in itself, but making such choices while everyone else in the blockchain/DAG world mainly uses tried-and-tested building blocks, seems like a red flag.

And in the end they are "just" red flags (= warning signs), which might hint at fatal flaws, but also might not.

Quite trite. The problem is that as a start-up you won't be able to command much of any enterprise unless you're specifically in the business of long term support plans. (And no one will believe you are.) This is how "filling the seam" fails.

Making a truly best product rewrites a comparable marketing effort.

Where disruption actually happened is with new areas with clout to back it up or entirely new fields. Amazon had sales clout, MS had already sold its BASIC to enterprise (a new product you couldn't get anywhere else) before the Windows and Office hits. To IBM too.

Apple made a quite cheap and fully functional microcomputer when it was a fledgling field. Later expanded the portfolio using accumulated clout.

Google made a great internet search engine. They used clout accumulated by that to push more complex services like GMail or platforms like Android. (YouTube was a buy.)

I would like to see some examples to the contrary. The blog lacks a lot of concrete examples.
