Hi, professional UX person here.

A lot of UX candidates are going to self-select out from this description, because you're bringing them in too late in the process. You're assuming that the requirements that someone (who?) has come up with are remotely correct, and an experienced UX person knows that's nearly never the case. (Perhaps you have a well-validated stack of customer and market research completed! But I'm going to assume that, like most product teams, you don't.)

Industry studies have found that features and product ideas developed in isolation are wrong, 1/3 to 1/2 or more of the time, where "wrong" is defined as "doesn't move the needle in the way it was expected to."

An experienced UX person is going to want to come in before requirements, to help collect the requirements through understanding users and use cases, and to do the "variety of design concepts" at that stage, often even with active participation from dev, PM, and other stakeholders. (You'll see this called "design studio" or other types of participatory, facilitated design.)

Metrics and measurements are also best developed at that stage, and actively tested to make sure the concepts will affect them in the way everyone expects.

You may be having trouble because "taking" requirements is often something only done by production designers: people who make the final graphics for implementation.

You might have the best success by visiting your local design meetups and looking for a freelancer or consultant with at least several years of experience doing design research, user research, and facilitation, the more experience the better. Hire them to vet and interview candidates; they'll want to understand how your team works and what your expectations for the role are.

Listen to them if they suggest your expectations are misaligned with regards to an effective design process.
ah, you made me remember my visits to google.stanford.edu... :-)
Sounds slow, but it depends on the total size of the index. I could see 10K PDFs being big enough to slow things down. The easiest thing to try is setting the Java heap to half the RAM up to 32GB. The more RAM the better in general. I have also found setting the number of shards to the number of CPU cores to be optimal in many cases, however if a shard is too big (>50GB) then it can start causing other problems. Again the more CPU cores the better in general.

Here are the relevant docs, and don't worry you don't need to know Java to get good performance.

I believe one of the biggest reasons is that nonsensical gun control laws make it difficult to purchase entire rifles in some states, while you can relatively easily buy the components and do the trivial assembly yourself.
Well, mining Bitcoins is a net negative of wasted energy.

Every bit of computer power beyond the minimum threshold of efficiency needed to operate the transactions and database is a net loss.

Peak efficiency of the Bitcoin mining network would be about 3-10 basic desktop computers. Instead Satoshi Nakomoto's Proof of Work will waste more and more energy with nothing to show as time goes on.

It simply can't be done on demand. I have first hand experience: I work with a chef who spends a day to create a week's worth of meals for me but smaller chunks are not feasible as you need to prep, cook etc and it takes hours -- even if some of the work can be done in parallel while one dish is cooking the other can be prepared etc but still you just can't have a meal ready in 45 minutes after you click order. Quite a few meals actually need to be started the previous day so the dish or parts of it can marinade / simmer / slow cook / set / etc overnight. (I think you meant private chef -- those are employed by the super rich, a personal chef works for multiple clients.)

Also anyone like him will strive to have his schedule full for a few weeks ahead.

So no, this is not Uberable. But, if you are in Vancouver and want good food, drop me an email I will connect you with Michael :)

The upfront cost is comparable to that of a (reputable) regular implant; a few years ago, in my case, this was in the region of €1800-2000. Then, after a 12 week healing period, you need a crown, which is a separate cost (and usually dealt with by your local dentist).

However, you also have to factor in the long-term cost: there are no surgical complications, and no follow-up treatments to deal with infection, as would typically be the case with typical screw-type implant. This is a huge win.

Also note: BioImplant is currently a single tooth replacement, so it's not possible to get a row of adjacent implants. (At least, not yet - I understand this is more an issue of research than practicability.) Make sure you go through the FAQ on the website! (http://www.bioimplant.at/faq-2/)

The failed payment alert functionality is a touch lacking for some SAAS scenarios.

The link in the alert email cannot be “parameterized”... it will only go to "the_saas_company.com". But I need the link to go to a per customer url, eg. "customercode.the_saas_company.com/billing". Heck basically anything that would allow my server to redirect the request to the "right" billing page (eg. the_saas_company.com/failedpayment/stripecustomernumber).

I'm saying if you were to do some sort of bayesian analysis, I think you'd find the probabilities of each to be approximately equal. (E.g. within 5%.)

I'm talking specifically though about HRC believing all of HRC's stated positions, not about a random person changing their opinions over the course of time. The probability calculus there is very different. E.g. the Clintons literally hire people to survey the public to tell them what policies to campaign on, that's how they came up with the idea of adding v-chips to TVs or whatever. The Adam Curtis documentary Century of the Self goes into this in depth.

> You say they're the best in the business, and their business is selling to an advertisor "he bought a pair of cargo shorts three months ago" as a reason to sell me .. cargo shorts.

Someone who bought cargo shorts 3 months ago is far more likely than a random individual to buy cargo shorts tomorrow.

You're thinking about this from the perspective of a single individual consumer, but that's not how the ads business works. Ads are bought in the form of aggregate possibilities.

If I were a cargo short vendor, I'd happily pay considerable sums to reach everyone who had recently bought cargo shorts. Maybe they're unhappy with their cargo shorts and want a different brand. Maybe their shorts tragically broke after bending over too far a few weeks after purchasing. Maybe you loved them so much that now you want a separate pair for every day of the week. All of these are reasons that betting you'll buy cargo shorts is a much better bet than betting on a random person.

People buying ads are not idiots. The ones buying digital ads are the smartest ones and many have strong backgrounds in analytical fields. It's arrogant for you to assume otherwise just because you're sick of cargo short ads.
For an app which demands as much trust as Telegram does, that level of intrigue is pretty scary.

In the blog post your parent linked, he spoke about it.

"I have a lot of good stories saved up that I’d love to share. Google corporate didn’t much care for my blogging, and even though they never outright forbade it, I received a lot of indirect pressure from various VPs. So eventually I stopped. Sad."
Seriously? What are you talking about? Have you ever used online advertising before? The fact that you can show it, the fact that you can point directly from any specific ad campaign to the exact set of results it generated, is literally the whole point of what makes online advertising so valuable.

Schmidt has always been one of the people politically greasing the wheels for Google. You most often see his involvement where the politicians are. It very much sounds like in his "technical advisor" role, he'll continue to do that. He said he was interested in 'science and technology issues' and 'philanthropy'. That reads as "politics" to me.
this seems like it turns it off for everyone, not just third parties

I've avoided paypal for ages because of their heavy handedness with freezes and bans.

They just can't be trusted not to fuck over your business. Not intentionally... but algorithmically. And once that happens their customer support rarely seems to be able to fix the issue.

They just don't seem to care about false positive vendor issues.
Making a serious bug tracker is hundreds, more like thousands of man hours. You’re saying that instead of investing 50 hours into configuring Jira properly, it’s better to do that? Even with intern work, it doesn’t make sense, especially since interns will be gone tomorrow ;)

Major questions for me include:

1) What sort of guarantee does BioImplant offer?

2) If an implant fails can it be removed and replaced?

3) When do they expect FDA approval? Why haven't they received it after over a decade?

4) Why is it only a single tooth procedure? Have they never tried to replace a row of teeth?

5) Who are the primary customers to date (how many and where from)? If these are foreigners traveling for the procedure, why don't they offer details on how to go about scheduling the trip/travel and the procedure/stay?

This is a real concern of many people when deciding where to live. Portland is much less cosmopolitan than many large American cities.

I have more than one non-white friend who found Portland to be a very uncomfortable place to live due to casual racism and a general feeling of alienation, especially in comparison with cities like New York, Los Angeles, or San Francisco.

Waymo likes to play up statistics that don't matter. For instance, most of their "hundreds of thousands of miles driven" statistics they brag about in every press release constitute driving around the same handful of streets in Mountain View, CA. They don't experience variety of driving, just... the same set of roads repeatedly. In a place with ideal weather. And they can tick up a disengagement count to prevent an accident whenever they want.

The statistic we deserve is "contiguous miles driven without intervention", and it needs to be spread across a large geographic area (something Waymo cars are completely incapable of right now due to their mapping requirements).
Why didn’t they just make the front part of the OLEDs transparent, and then turn them off when using those sensors? Surely it couldn’t be that much more difficult considering it’s already possible to make optically clear OLEDs.
Does anyone have data on the average income or vehicle prices related to these deaths? How many accidents are being prevented by new currently available safety technology (proximity and blind-spot warnings, etc)? It's not like the advent of AI cars means that everyone just gets one, so this number isn't going to go down significantly unless you force poor people off the road by mandating that only AI get to drive or else give everyone an AI in their car for cheap.

Personally, I don't think the people driving this vehicle AI revolution really care about that number though. It's just what gets wheeled out to appeal to the public in order to justify the next luxury car industry for rich people who want to travel worry-free while intoxicated/sleeping/working/netflixing and to reduce the labor cost in all transportation services from trucking and busing, to operating construction and farming equipment.

The lives AI will save will be rich ones, and the lives that are ruined from increased insurance premiums (by not having an AI vehicle) and the destruction of entire labor markets will be poor/middle-class ones.

Is there a solution I'm unaware of? Is UBI going to cover those costs? Or is the rising inequality and resentment just not a concern since the AI will just solve that next?
I've only dealt with one in my life because I've mostly sublet. And they screwed me. It could have been worse but I learned my lesson to not give them any room for taking advantage of you. Take pictures, do a walk through etc. Now I'll search for reviews of the company and mostly they are all terrible. And then you see a little of it when you deal with the people through the process. And start to imagine writing your own terrible review in the future and just wish a good person would take you in and give you a safe place to live.
In general they have been pretty aloof at product marketing and development. Microsoft came in with a weaker product early on and has really been cleaning up with Azure going head to head with Amazon and GCE.

G as a whole has always been pretty much the opposite of Apple in terms of fit and finish, and in the past it was no mongo in terms of dev swoon. But I agree with cookiecaper, they have somehow cracked the code for mongo level of installing meme based software architecture on the masses.

Cars don't scale outside urban areas either: Widespread daily private car use is not environmentally sustainable even with EVs, which still have about 50% of the lifetime CO2 footprint of fossil cars.

Yep Broodwar is the only non athletic sport I've ever followed. I used to barely play broodwar but I watched it all the time with my friends. All the excitement and commentary and so on was fun. Then blizzard came out with starcraft 2 and it was all over. The minute they announced it had no LAN play, I knew I wouldn't buy it. And don't get me started on all the other things wrong with sc2 including pre-annouced 3 game money grab, the barely visible on the map creatures, etc.
I appreciate your perspective on me maybe not being recovered. It's not something I considered, and I'm historically a very poor judge of my own mental well-being. I will spend time considering this.

Tying up loose ends from my crisis is difficult because it involves someone else I haven't spoken to since. I'm not sure it's my place to instigate that, and it frankly feels as though it may still be too soon for both of us. Regardless you motivated me to draft a short message inviting a discussion and I'll spend the next few days considering whether to send it.

Thank you for the kind and thoughtful response.
