I feel like there's been a very noticeable decline in the quality of Apple software (and perhaps hardware, given issues like battery related shutdowns). Then I got a PC this summer so I could play a wider variety of games, and I find that Windows 10 has a whole host of issues like lost profiles that didn't exist before, and still some of the legendary video driver flakiness. Then I try to help my father with his Android phone, and find UX lunacy.

It's not an Apple problem, it's an industry problem. Software should, generally, be more reliable now than it was 10 years ago: There's more experience building, designing, and using it, so some best practices should have floated to the top, at least. But in every segment I look, I find it's just generally worse. Everyone is shovelling worse software into the pipeline than before, and this includes industrial control systems with which I'm familiar, even aside from consumer software.

I think the biggest trick is to actually get the "safe and healthy" regulations right, particularly when it comes to ongoing enforcement. There are cities where known unsafe apartment buildings just decay for years because there's no political will to hold the landlords accountable (unsurprisingly, tenants of these buildings tend to be poor and socially marginalized people).

There's also an issue (perhaps encompassing the above) of attracting real estate developers without selling out local government to them. As far as I can tell, they will fight tooth-and-nail for every regulatory concession, tax incentive and taxpayer infrastructure dollar they can possibly get, to the point of funding their buddies' campaigns for mayor/council. I doubt that there's any regulatory regime that's favorable enough to avoid this fight; it's not a matter of giving them enough, it's a matter of what they think they can extract.
Nothing is a concept; therefore it should exist, no? The only possible exception I can think of is if concepts are actually physical the way physical reality is.

Subscription fatigue, maybe?

The idea of variable subscription models is interesting, especially if the consumer can see detailed justifications for their bill. I think that's a key point in battling subscription fatigue.

Software companies water down their financial models to a very simplistic bill, partly because there's no way of (easily) variably billing consumers of their software, but also because it's easy to understand.

I know that if I received an easily digestible bill of my monthly Spotify usage, and was charged more than what I'm currently paying for on my fixed plan, I'd be ok with it. I also know that if I'm not using Spotify as much for a specific month, and was charged less than what I normally pay for it, I'd also be very ok with it!
A Message to Our Customers about iPhone Batteries and Performance
The argument against was basically that drinking is bad, and that if people can safely get home after drinking, more people will do it. If that's the best argument the opposition had, I can see why this bill passed unanimously.
I mean, like I said, it's not that exploitation won't occur, it's that the exploitation will be too sporadic to make a meaningful difference in overall cash flow.

That MoviePass isn't profitable right now isn't so much because exploitation is more widespread than the MoviePass founders expected, and more because it's still new enough that most subscribers are going through their initial binges before they'll settle into their normative consumption habits.

The average American adult goes to some five movies per year [0]. Increasing that to your new rate of consumption of roughly once per week - more than fifty movies per year - would be an order of magnitude. Even if attendance increased only to the break-even point, it would basically double attendance.

So either MoviePass has no or little affect on aggregate movie attendance, in which case they make money hand-over-fist for extracting twice the money from aggregate subscribers for the same amount of aggregate product, or MoviePass has a strong positive affect on attendance, in which case there are other avenues for profits, as other people have mentioned - data mining, concessions, etc.

Two examples I can think of off the top of my head are news subscriptions, and Patreon. Both seem to be growing a good clip. A decade ago there was a lot of talk about digital subscriptions as a business model, but few if any success stories.
That's stretching the definition of passive investing. What the OP describes is an active strategy like any other. That you can automate it and wrap it in an ETF doesn't make it passive.

It's a matter of perspective and goals. If I just wanted a browser and access to VMs or cloud environments I'd use a tablet and a bluetooth keyboard. You can't learn things like changes in kernel configuration options, boot processes, graphical environments, etc. simply by using someone else's default configuration, only by reading and configuring yourself. Are these things critical? Not for most people, but they certainly inform my work in many ways and I would not consider time invested since the 1990s to have been wasted. Many people enjoy learning and are able to leverage knowledge for creativity, I am merely one of them.
Based on the title and opening paragraph, I excitedly thought this would cover the manufacture of the sensor or lenses — you know, the things without which you don’t have a camera at all.

Perhaps a more accurate title would be “Salvaging a broken ‘FLIR One’ to make a thermal vision scope!”

Still a very cool project! Too bad it’s not reproducible at this cost though (this was more affordable than commercial products only because the author managed to buy a broken ‘FLIR One’ cheap on eBay, and salvage the sensor).

As a tech lead, it's actually easier for you to admit weaknesses, since your subordinates will be happy if you arrange things such that their job satisfaction is high, regardless of how much or little technical work you do. For a front-line engineer it's more dangerous, particularly if there is a perception (even if unfair) of a discrepancy between how they presented themselves at interview, and how they are presenting themselves now. Front-line engineers also don't necessarily know if their employer is thinking of firing them - they therefore are best advised to play it safe with regards to any little thing that their employer could pick up on as a straw that breaks the camel's back. Better safe than sorry.

But yes, there are times when we all need to ask for help, and even here, there are better and worse ways to do it. Again, for a team lead to express vulnerability can be positive in the right circumstances - because it can allow a junior (or indeed a senior) to puff up their chest with pride as they may then be able to help out their boss, show off their knowledge and look really good - and it can help to bond with the team. In contrast, showing vulnerability as a subordinate, to the wrong manager, can just give them an excuse to fire you. That's happened to me twice - I've learned my lesson.
But I think you nailed it -- the compiler doesn't have to signal optimization "failures" back to the developer, but it has to for the constexpr case. It is not that the constexpr routine can be used at compile time, it is that it must be useable at compile time.

Having a trusted group of advisors is strongly recommended. Confusing everyone in your office as your professional advisor is ill advised.

Find people that have had success in fields that interest you and cultivate relationships with them. And explicitly ask, "Would you be willing to be one of my professional advisors?" You'll want 3-5 of these.

From time-to-time, grab lunch or coffee. And ask the advantages of an MBA or whatever certification. Ask "does job X seem like a good next move for me given my career goals?" Then pick up the tab.

But never, ever confuse lunch at your company's cafeteria as the time or place to raise professional doubts. Absolute confidence at work; and raise your personal insecurities in private with people you can trust and that are expecting that kind of conversation.

Here's my current advisor group:

My mom and dad. I'm mid-30's with three kids of my own. My own parents are a great sounding board for "how is my work/life balance? Am I focused too much on cash at the expense of time with my kids? Will another relocation be too much to ask of my children?" They don't know much about what I do and can't help me build business models, but they raised 5 kids and can effectively call out my B.S.

The dean when I got an MBA. We did a lot of work together while I was at school. He's an incredibly connected individual and is someone I trust to guide me with business ethics. In a failed startup I had some private issues. I met the dean for coffee and he gave me some of the best advice I've ever received: "keep your chin up, your mouth shut, and your integrity intact." Basically "That sucks, move on." He's a "big picture" / "career arc" kind of guy who could help me get a conversation with just about anyone I want. And he's a wonderful person I consider a good friend.

A previous co-worker who is a marketing executive. We hit it off at work. I'm passionate about quantitative marketing. He was more brand oriented. Enough overlap where we had shared interests; different enough we weren't direct competitors at the office. He's been around and knows the pitfalls of business. Sample advice: "ignore all 'Growth hacker' job listings. They're brutal jobs and the first to get axed when numbers are missed. You'll be held accountable for the things you are least likely to be able to control."

None of these conversations happen casually. They are planned discussions with people I have a close relationship. And none of them work in my org (I asked my old coworker to be an advisor _after_ he left).

Be purposeful in what you say to whom.
Apart from writing blog posts another good way to get clients is to give relevant high quality talks at meetups and conferences.

>Equal weighted funds are more risky (volatile), but have higher historic returns than market cap weighted funds.

But do they outperform after risk adjustment? I doubt it and if not you're better off just leveraging a bit to your desired level of risk. The point of passive investing isn't that the trading strategy can be automated, the point is to say "I want to grab exactly the average return of the market every year". Trying to do anything else is by definition not achievable by everyone so why do people think they should be the lucky ones? What specific advantage does a retail investor bring to merit that?

I think this has a lot to do with a lot of things.

If I'm working in the city, it's easy for me to say "Well, I plan to drink tonight, so I'll cab to the place where I'm drinking so that I'll have to cab from the place after I'm drinking."

When that place is more than a $50 Uber/Lyft/Cab ride away from the suburbs I'm coming from, the options are limited, leaving me to the effort of having to curtail the amount that I drink such that it's safe to drive home. The science I've heard mention is that you can metabolize something like 2 drinks per hour, which is a handy guideline, but lacks so much. 2 drinks of what? 3% Miller Lite isn't the same as 10% microbrews, which isn't the same as 40+% scotch or bourbon. Does that 2 drink guideline cover hard spirits in assuming the worst, or is it assuming the most common scenario of beer? I have no idea.

For me, I tend to prefer drinking at home, or at Uber/Lyftable distances from my home, so that I can be safe, but yeah, everyone's guidance differs slightly, and as someone downthread mentions, relying on choice of drinking safely as judgement is impaired by the alcohol they're drinking is fraught with peril.

I think it's mostly security theater without significant benefits. There are many parallels with the TSA here. It's not about ease of implementation as much as it's about employee trust. We shouldn't pretend that it doesn't also scoop up personal communications. Or you can say absolutely no personal communications using the computer you use for 8 hours a day if you're that type of person. Many SMBs survive without these measures, yet somehow they're sold as requirements by those with IT departments and the means. I hope "byopc" and remote work become more popular.

> your boss is not your friend

I wholeheartedly agree. This is why you should be planning from day 1 on ways to make sure that your career is never dependent on a single individual’s or organization’s whims. They will be doing the same for you if they are smart.

This may sound ugly or cynical, but it’s a fact of life. Discretion is not just about what information you choose to reveal, it’s also about figuring out who is and isn’t “on your side” for the long run. I think we all fail at this at various points in our lives in some way or other.

At least on iOS, you can go into the system settings, scroll down to the Messenger app, and untoggle "Allow Notifications".

It's having to go around Messenger, and doesn't disprove your point at all. But I ran into the same realization you had, but couldn't easily stop using it completely as Messenger video calls are really important to my grandparents. So I just disabled Notifications at a system level, and open it up periodically to check new messages (same as you mentioned for email/text).

This is possible but unlikely.

Bond rating agencies can more easily get away with mischaracterising "new and innovative" products than index funds can cheat investors.

Index funds publish their methodology, and there is very little subjectivity (if any) in the application of these rules, that is after all, the point on an index fund. It would be far too easy to sue index funds if there were to defraud investors, and depending on the action and jurisdiction, criminal charges.

Also if there was an issue with governance with index funds, going to a fund where governance is even more subjective would hardly seem to be an answer.

it's not more secure/less secure if you enable root over pubkey only. I mean if I can login with a user that has sudo rights (probably with no password, the default on most cloud providers) there is no real benefit in having a user called ubuntu or centos that can login and gain full sudo rights than using root directly.
