It's hard for me to speculate how much our PMs are working. No one in our company is micro managing the PMs and their day to day work. But usually, what happens with PMs is that they become accountable for some revenue targets, a set of releases, and a set of customers. These are all things that get scheduled or have targets which have a certain obligation / commitment that must be met. And the PMs just go on about doing that work.

When dealing with incredibly technical products that you are a PM for, almost all of the PMs have a strong passion for the area that they are involved. So there is a blending with personal growth and the products that they are responsible for. I personally am one of a couple PMs on one of our new initiatives at WSO2 where we have 150 engineers. I'm doing it because the technology area is in a domain that excites me, so it does border on being a hobby almost, and therefore I do not count the hours or dollar for dollar pay as much.
Ah, interesting, thanks for clarifying about the CSM.

Right, I'm the perfect low-touch customer right now, and I get that the self-serve things are also low-touch.

So I guess burning a few hours of customer support time would not move me into the high-touch zone. Got it.

Good clothes help. I wear a lot of icebreaker merino wool stuff (yes, even t-shirts) and they simply never stink. But I also commute in 'normal' cotton/poly clothes.

True "workout" gear stinks to high heaven. I'm not sure what they put in gym shirts and shorts but once you sweat, it's all over. Don't wear that stuff when commuting to work!

Normally I commute in a t-shirt, a merino sweater/sweatshirt, and jeans with bike shorts (padded liners) underneath. They're basically like the underwear version of bike shorts -- not something to be worn solo.
Struggling for food was always the default world wide. Compare any time in human history to now, nothing comes close. I understand flipping the sanctimonious "bird" may make you feel like some kind of intellectual gangster. Humanity made progress in the right direction in spite of its many mistakes and especially Post WWII world had made mind numbing progress that is undeniable across the board.
That's what I did, but it may not be much longer until...

> Couldn't you just, you know, not purchase those products or services?

...means buying a beater that barely runs, because they stopped making cars that aren't "connected."

Or maybe you did buy a connected product, and were really careful to make sure it did nothing you didn't want it to do at the time of purchase...

...but then two years later the manufacturer pushes and update that adds 24/7 tracking and mandatory banner ads. What do you suggest doing in that case? Return your car to the dealer for a refund? Take a time machine back to tell your old self to "not purchase those products or services?"

In short, market thinking is not the solution to all problems, because markets can be broken in innumerable ways. And even if the brokenness can be worked around, people usually lack the expertise or time-bandwidth to do it.
Well done!

I normally use Spectacle, but I played (very) briefly with this. It has a slick installation and setup workflow. I like that it leverages the `WSAD` and arrow keys, and its options for composing those to get quarters of screens was pretty slick. Being able to drag by more than the title bar is something I've wanted _forever_.

However, right now it doesn't appear to support multiple monitors very well. When I use a Veeer shortcut, my windows are brought from whatever monitor they are on to my laptop's main screen (rather than staying on the screen they currently are on, and changing their position within the screen).

It would be neat if I could predefine areas of my screen which are asymmetrical -- e.g. 2/3 on left, 1/3 on right -- and use the corner arrangement key compositions to place my app windows in those areas. Right now, I use Spectacle's "arrange on left" (or right), and take advantage of how it will cycle between half, 1/3, and 2/3 widths when repeatedly arranging the window with the same command, but being unable to compose "right 1/3 + top half" or "right 1/3 + bottom half" has been infuriating, and is what made me so eager to try your product.

Oh, I've done it before. Biking to work was my primary method of transportation when I was in the bay area. By American standards, my route was pretty decent, which means that by any sane, objective standard it was trash. I got hit by cars twice the last year before I moved to Germany. Once I had my son on my bike, that was especially fun.

I was willing to take some risk, but expecting the average person to is unreasonable. Getting around shouldn't involve serious risk to your person. We'd never accept using "painted walk lanes" everywhere, and yet that standard is considered "pretty good" for biking. It's absurd.
How rightwing media is already attacking Florida teens speaking out
Garbage, sensationalist title with mentions of "unknown origin". Even the article says the likely source is Zug island, but of course this wouldn't get as many clicks.

According to the mentioned University of Windsor report (http://www.international.gc.ca/department-ministere/windsor_...) "A previous study confirmed the existence of the low frequency excitation and estimated the source to be in the vicinity of Zug Island". If this article was written with the assumption that the source is likely known, it would have been a reasonable read. Instead, it should have focused on getting the city to do something about it, by approaching the property with a noise complaint warrant, discovering the source, fining those responsible, and changing policy if needed to solve it. If all of the above is impossible for whatever reason, why doesn't the article mention the reasons instead of making it the issue seem like sensasionalist "mystery" news.

typical triangulation would depend on the sound being heterogeneous in waveform/volume right? If it's a constant hum then you'd only have volume dissipate as you move away which would get a lot harder as sound has different loss functions as it moves through different materials.

We had a similar issue at an apartment block in Australia. The most amusing sight was a bunch of residents, all wandering the corridors trying to find which room was the source, but as in your case it was fans on the roof.
Any idea where they get their coffee beans? While working in that industry for traders in UK it was common to lend money to African farmers for them to buy crops and tools (from the same firm) and then agree on a market price per pound produced. The trading firm would then pay the farmer months or years after. It really opened me on the work culture and conditions over there. By conditions I don't mean work hours or life balance, but price/cost and work/reward conditions imposed by the billion dollar firms. Side note, they often used umbrella non-profit organization that are "active" in the community to conduct business. I could go on and on on this topic.

Stride is a brand new product (not a rebrand of Hipchat), we did not repurpose Hipchat's code. It's built from ground up on Atlassian platform - new protocol, clients, platform, etc. One exception is the video bridge technology which remains powered by the Jitsi.org open source product (which we acquired in 2015). I do look after both products (Hipchat Cloud and Stride) for Atlassian, happy to answer questions.
> “Our extended payment terms have been in place for many years,” said Becht, JDE’s chairman. “JDE as buyers have paid for the extra costs that go along with the extended pay periods, so this cannot be used as an argument for the alleged extra pressure some trading houses might now be experiencing.”

It's just a different way of financing. The interest is built into the higher prices JAB pays.
@dang why did you delete the "And no one knows why" from the title? Did it sound clickbaity to you? Seems pretty critical to the article to me. The whole thing is about the search for what the hum is, not what the hum is.
Tumours are typically poorly organised tissues with areas of dead cells (necrosis) and very fibrous reactions from surrounding tissue (desmoplastic reaction). A steak made out of a large tumour would look patchy, and have areas of cheesy looking dead tissue that will belch yellow goo when you touch it. It will also be very chewy. Additionally, most cancers develop in tissues that are the equivalent of the gizzards, whereas most human meat consumption is muscle tissue.

Because of access levels. You may install an extension that requires no access to anything interesting (hey it's just harmless css), but may refuse to install something that wants to read your dom.

Another fun thing: user css / theme extensions where you only install themes. Themes are not dangerous, are they? It's just eyecandy.

Who would do or fund such a study?

Women outnumber men in college by 50%, and almost nobody sees a problem with that. Men vastly outnumber women among the homeless, prisoners, accidental deaths, etc, and nobody cares about that either.

Nobody in power cares enough about less fortunate men to support any studies that might show what obstacles they face.

No doubt. The point is that there's work to be done -- and it's not the type of work we've collectively gotten so good at.

Really? You think I primarily care about the single most severe caveat to the success of our industrial economy in order to look cool?
True, but email is pretty crufty with headers and markup, and that compounds with the flotsam of unread spam retained out of laziness, and for the sake of completion. Not to mention that duplication occurs with the endlessly indented prior messages retained in lengthy reply chains across all conversation participants. Compression of that kind of information helps, but compression only attacks the problem only in the usual blind, robotic manner.

I’d estimate that high definition video has similar problems, in that 24 hours of a pitch black screen with an ambient noise floor, captured at 4K screen resolution, and 240 frame rate, would still eat up 1TB, even with an efficient codec, because imperceptible thermal noise in the frames leaves a lot of uncompressible variation in the pixel raster, even though the actual color differences are imperceptible to people.
I think that's because too many SaaS CEOs think something else mentioned in the article: "Margins, to a first approximation, don’t matter...If they’re quickly growing, the company can ignore every expense that doesn’t scale directly with the number of customers"

It makes sense in theory, but businesses don't grow to infinite size so fixed costs do matter. Ignorance of this fact drives the lower than anticipated gross margins of many SaaS businesses.
I'm listening to this right now [1] and (for those of you who don't have a chance to hear it right now) it definitely isn't what I would call a "hum"... that's way too gentle and not bass enough to describe this sound. I'd call it more like low-frequency rumbling (though that's probably not a perfect word for it either).

The point isn't that only Google can use AMP. (I agree that many people incorrectly think that AMP is Google-only.) The point is that with AMP, you've lost control of your web site.

The fact that you've lost control not only to Google, but also to Microsoft, Yahoo Japan, and Baidu doesn't help at all!

This isn't a CSS feature, CSS does not let you select on the value of a password field (it lets you select on the value of the `value` attribute, which doesn't change when you type)

This is a React feature, where React apps specifically use the value attribute (`element.setAttribute("value", ...)`) to set the value, instead of `element.value`.
There were no consumer digital cameras when 250MB drives were common. The closest, Sony Mavicas, were still writing to analog media. Kodak was still using bulky briefcase storage units with their own hard drives. Not something the everyday "naive" computer user of the era would be investing in.
It sounds like your recommended safety practice is basically not to get hurt and if something does happen to have the strength to stop yourself form flying over the handles bars unexpectedly. This is not a good long term solution. Maybe if you're putzing around town that works ok but if you are ever riding in traffic or at speed this is a recipe for disaster.

AMP is like Amazon's listing of 3rd party merchants' products.

It's great for consumers in the short-term but commodifies businesses into an informational API for Google's UX.

because lower latency increases user activity and search volume

The question you aren't asking is: "What are the long term implications to the ecosystem when Google controls the UX for all 3rd party data?"

Thanks jdpedrie, our line of reasoning was to get a better product than what's there on the market today out first and learn what customers really needed as we went along. We thought we would build a better product that way. But if we did that, we may have created a bloated solution with features people don't ultimately find as useful. We know that we're just at the start of the process and take all customer feedback to heart.
The people who can biohack are the ones who actually suffer from malnutrition the least. I love the experience your team brings to the table -- it is very well needed in such a shitty industry -- but please please please consider making this affordable from the get-go. Malnutrition is a self-reinforcing problem that hurts the United States' health care safety net in so many ways (the cost is obviously the biggest hot-button issue, which is why it's nearly impossible to change anything). On top of that, it's estimated there will be more 1099 contractors in the next 10 years than ever before -- meaning there will be more people who voluntarily choose to forgo health insurance than ever before. Until health care costs go down, decentralizing preventative care is needed more than ever. If you make this affordable from the get-go, you have an opportunity to make a real impact on those who are actually malnourished and have no practical way to fix that.
> So when 538 writes "The indictment alleges that an organization called the Internet Research Agency had a monthly budget of approximately $1.25 million toward interference efforts by September 2016" this is simply false

"RNC Republicans" still believe in globalization. Republican voters have been opposed to globalization for a long time but until Trump they had few voting choices that reflected that.

And the ship hasn't sailed on globalization. China is bringing protectionism back whatever we do.

Will protectionism raise prices? On manufactured goods, perhaps. But manufactured goods are a small portion of our expenses compared to rents, food, and energy, and if protectionism also raises wages it will mean more Americans can afford to live well.

It appears the exam was online for the first year, and was administered by Pearson Vue, the same Pearson responsible for MyMathLab and others.

I can't say I'm surprised that the system crashed, given that. Pearson software is just generally unreliable and unpleasant to use. I don't believe they deserve anyone's business, but unfortunately it appears to be very difficult to start separating colleges from Pearson.
I'm always disappointed to see that people think the description on that system's tin is its actual purpose. It does that, yes. What else?

I remember working at a phone company around 1999-2001. Some folks were just getting landlines. I'm pretty sure the same folks are slow to get decent quality internet and decent cell service. Even then, finding a job without telephone service was difficult. Similar situations occur without proper communication now.

Similar problems exist when folks lack sanitary conditions or mass transit proves to be completely inadequate or doesn't exist. At best, the sanitation easily means folks become sick more easily - which can push folks into poverty because the health care infrastructure and care isn't where it should be.

Now, I don't have facts to back these up, but they aren't exactly insane ideas either.
There aren't long term studies into what lab produced meat means for the human body right?

Would that be necessary? It's chemically identical to what's grown in a cow. The only difference is that it's grown in a vat. If anything it's better because farmers give all manner of hormones and antibiotics to cows that you don't need in a vat.
