Thank you for taking the time to respond to an anonymous coward such as myself. :)

I do respect what you're trying to do and don't think you had ill intentions. I just don't think that technocratically helping police actually results in safer neighborhoods. You know more than I do about how your app was actually used. I would think that if your app was effective, it would have been used to justify upper level bureaucratic decisions.

I respect that you tried to break out of the SV bubble of solving the problem of replacing a white middle class mom. Unfortunately, social problems like these are not very amenable to technological solutions. Optimizing the metrics we currently have result in more oppression rather than less. The police we have today evolved as an institution out of slave patrols.

The broader critique is that we should have less policing and more wealth redistribution. How much crime would be happening if everyone had a fairer share of the wealth? How much crime would be happening if we didn't train criminals by putting them together in prisons and instead put them through education and mental health programs? If we revoked the exception in the 13th amendment that allows incarcerated persons to perform slave labor (notably exploited in California to fight wildfires)?

Thank you for trying to change society for the better. We desperately need people willing to fight for a better world. However, next time you try, I would recommend reading dissenter opinions in detail before embarking on doing so. If the status quo was working, status quo opinions would have solved the problem. Listening to dissenters will make you more effective in solving the problem.
We actually just did something like this, but on a much smaller scale than "a giant warehouse".

We've (https://myaccio.com/) been running as a premium delivery service in Victoria, BC for a few years. Instead of taking a 25-30% discount from restaurants we were marking items up by 20%. We deliver mostly from the "good" restaurants who can't afford to take a 25-30% hit just to provide delivery. While this was turning into a good lifestyle business, delivering food when you don't control all the variables is extremely hard (and not exactly profitable at a small scale).

What we ended up making was "The Kitchen by Accio". It's high end delivery food made by extremely talented chefs. There are four concepts to choose from each with its own head chef. We launched just over 3 weeks ago and things are going pretty well so far. We still deliver from other restaurants but we've noticed that a growing population of our "regulars" are starting to just order from The Kitchen.
> Your battery didn’t have a defect. It is the same as all batteries - they degrade. Apple can’t change that.

They may have been referring to this issue:

https://www.apple.com/support/iphone6s-unexpectedshutdown/

I’m not defending the somewhat emotional / hyperbolic tone of the comment to which you replied. Just considering that they may not have adequately explained that they were referring to two separate cases (though it isn’t clear from the comment that the difference is recognized).

For my own anecdotal response, my Apple products last many years. They are consistently in good working order by the time I choose to upgrade. I also think that those who still believe that Apple has some nefarious scheme to build-in obsolescence are being manipulated by FUD, and that is based on firsthand knowledge.

So programs are allowed access to the data, provided they are audited?

In my country, one programmer who unfortunately lost his newborn daughter to sepsis decided to make a machine learning program to help doctors diagnose the infection early. The software has access to patient data and it recognizes patterns that match the development of sepsis. It decreased the number of severe sepsis cases per month from 1.5 to 0.5 and cut the waiting time before effective treatment was administered by 60%.

People have told me this sort of system would not have been impossible in the USA because of the HIPAA. Is this true?

I agree with what you say. But the negotiations have barely even begun so we'll just have to see how things work out.
You clearly have some very visceral opinions about Uber and I'm sure nobody would be able to change your mind, but when the parent is saying that it'll take time for Uber to earn back trust, I think it is in the same sense as what happened to Microsoft.

There was a time when there was a lot of animosity towards Microsoft, but over the years, younger people that had not been exposed to the drama grew up with a more neutral stance, and many many years of not-really-dramatic developments means that nowadays, people only really think of Microsoft as the company behind MS Office, XBox, etc and not so much about what its ethics framework looks like. Obviously you can still see people referring to it as M$ and similar and making fun on windows users, but it certainly isn't _common_ for average people to outright _hate_ Microsoft on ethical grounds.
Well, we can't even get ISPs to filter outbound traffic. There's still no real incentive for them to do that.

Idunno, that doesn't really seem like such a big deal. The whole idea was rather pointless (in the face of all the bigger fish they have to fry) to begin with. With such headed, small minded planning, it may have been a blessing if they never bothered to implement it.
For the same reason you can't invoke a method to change the value of a string, or open a file handle, in another process:

You can't change another process's internal state without sending a message that the other process can choose to interpret (or by hacking the memory that the process is using)
> I think it is safe to assume that Long Term Happiness changes the brain "permanently" in the same manner.

Good intuition, and now we have hard scientific data to support it:

https://www.amazon.com/Altered-Traits-Science-Reveals-Medita...

Please note I am using a somewhat more general meaning of the word "happiness" than usually understood.

Also, in your statement I would replace "same manner" with "similar manner, opposite direction" or something like that.
I'm interested in what your thoughts, if any, have been to support MMO's. I think it'd be easy enough for folks entering and exiting instanced content to detect, but for folks doing something like crafting or gathering, which are generally repetitive tasks that don't change the field of gameplay much to demarcate a "done" step.
Just a touch of optimism here. I suffered from depression for 7 years, then started meditation. I can say I am now very happy after 4 years of regular practice. I don't really care if my brain was a bit damaged then. Don't lose hope, everyone has a big potential of happiness just waiting to be explored inside. Have a happy life!
And in doing that, you demonstrated that the idiomatic default in Go error handling is unhandleable errors, the sort that forces programmers to pitifully parse strings to differentiate.

I kind of love Go. I'm a former professional C programmer and Go is now my default language. But I don't feel a need to kid people about things Go gets wrong.
Firstly, this is super cool. Writing loading this easily based on different connections is going to be awesome. The suspense stuff is great.

Secondly, Dan has to be one of the nicest people on the internet. If you don't follow him on Twitter, give him a follow. He is so helpful, and understanding of his users' problems. I think it's a huge reason why the React team is constantly pushing boundaries. They really do listen.

It's not just Dan though, the community really has some great people. Dan had actually tweeted a bunch of people worth following a couple months back, which I compiled into a list: https://twitter.com/udayrsingh/lists/react

You should recheck your definitions on convexity.

>function f: R^n --> R where for all x in R^n f(x) = 0

This hyperplane is not convex. A convex curve by definition can not be equal to its tangent at any point.

Edit: I should specify, I mean a convex curve cannot be completely equal to any of its tangents, obviously it will equal each tangent at a single point.
Likely not true.

Software implementations usually fail because of the implementors failing to understand and map the business needs prior to beginning in detail, vs launching with whatever and making twice as much money fixing it after the fact "as you go".

I have lead a few full cycle ERP implementations, and replaced vendors along the way if they were not performing.

The challenge remains is software vendors are not sufficiently motivated enough to learn the business in detail before implementing software to help run the process.
Mostly the fact that it just can't seem to read my fingerprints with any consistency. Now, I have problems with dry skin, so my fingertips are usually a rough, flaky (and therefore constantly changing) mess, so...

>So a society in which there's competition to be among a handful of feudal lords, but where everyone else suffers tenuous and desperation is unconcerning? How so?

To be fair, he did say it's concerning if the top income brackets are static, so as long as we shuffle out our feudal lords from time to time, we should be okay.
Most opportunities for mobility were linked to America being a nation of rapid growth, not because of the kindness of some national ethos. As our growth opportunities slow, you can be sure the haves will do everything in their power to prevent loss of ground to the have-nots.

>Good sales people will want to get paid, unless they are insiders who know they can make it work and just want to suck the equity from you and try to make the startup theirs.

I mostly agree with you but the above point is very cynical. The skilled salesperson that OP needs may well recognize that they want to take the company from 0-10MM in sales per year, but that they may be unable to help take the company from 10MM-100MM a year in sales. In that case, knowing that you are likely to need to leave a company you helped build, asking for equity makes sense.
The Technical Debt Behind Your Integrations Strategy
It seems like lots of the payroll was being carried out by humans in local units. Humans are very good at holding lots of exceptions in our heads and, in the absence of clear rules, doing reasonable things. Computers are shit at both of the above.

So things like Bob negotiated with his boss to leave early on Thursday to cover childcare and, in exchange, is coming in early on Tuesdays... but got asked to come in Saturday and now has overtime and what does he get paid based on province or local rules? Does OT end at midnight or not? Do employees get paid non-required OT as a courtesy? And frankly, lots of payroll probably sometimes violates the rules in minor ways, but as long as the employee is happy and the org is happy no-one is upset. Computers are not good at letting small things like that go. And that's a pretty trivial case.

What about eg janitorial that is paid by multiple government orgs on some cost sharing arrangement because the orgs share office space, but is covering an event for a 3rd org in the 2nd org's space? And that janitor is on a particular contract, one of perhaps 5 or 6? If that has to get encoded into a central system, have fun with that. God only knows how many exceptions there are across a quarter of a million employees.
So when do we finally get to say they don't get to be a company anymore? They clearly do not care one bit about our data.
I don't mean to be rude and I am truly interested in this topic, but I must ask, is there a version of this that is readily legible? Fuzzy (out of focus) light grey text on a white background absolutely results in a headache for me when trying to read this.
Yes. (For this use case.)
I don't think it's so well understood as you say. I believe your personal position and experience makes it quite obvious for you, but not necessarily so much for others, it could be helpful to them...

I agree that for some people the situation is much more complicated. In the article they mention endogenous depression. Even if it does not really exist, and it's "just" you needing much more than you have... how are you even supposed to begin to tackle that? If the society you live in is so unhelpful, if you can't even imagine one where you'd want to live, if social interaction is tedious or extremely exhausting and unrewarding even when you are with people you like? Or a thousand more. When even without any other problem and at your best, after regularly trying to put yourself in different positions and meet different people, life feels meaningless, exhausting and always unrewarding, what do you do?

Just trying to get the point across. It's great that people are trying to come up with better treatments, but as you say, sometimes it seems like many of those trying to help just keep walking in circles, and many of those who suffer still have the same unanswered questions. It's really unsettling. And maybe it will be hard to get to the next step unless we start helping more ourselves with the insight from the inside. Or maybe I'm just clueless.
If only this was standardized somehow so that in the future users could integrate the features the way they want, not depending on current business partnership set of deals.
That's a good way of putting it.

I wish I were at a place in my life where the difference between $3/mo and $75/mo ($36/year vs $900/year) is a non-issue, but unfortunately I'm not. So for now my family photos and videos will have to be securely stored with the (probably) slightly sub-par designs of the open source software I'm using.
I like to give my best on what I'm working on, but generally dislike "Let's have a dinner/walk next time". That's what I have family and friends for.
The remaining 27k certificates are probably the ones which were generated on and which never left the customer's premises. The only thing which could be siphoned in these cases is the CSR, which is harmless (it contains essentially the same info as the certificate, which is public).

yes, but he just made that idea up, and it doesn't make a lot of sense, also probably never happens.
I worked for one company for 9 years, and had 13 different managers in that timeframe. Never once did the same person do my annual performance appraisal twice. The worst, though, and the one I'll never forget, was when they brought in a new guy in December to be my latest shiny new boss. Well, my daughter was born a month premature the next month, right during performance appraisal time. So I was in and out of the hospital dealing with the stress of a 3.5-pound baby in the neonatal intensive care unit when he insisted that I dial in, from the hospital, for my performance review. Of course, he didn't know anything about me (we'd met less than a month ago), but he gave me a scathingly critical appraisal anyway, just to make sure I knew who was calling the shots around here.

I feel like the GSuite product experiences outside of Mail and Calendar still feel really unrefined for a company of the size, scale, and capability of Google. They've had the opportunity to absolutely crush the productivity / work suite of apps, and yet somehow for all their resources and prowess, they've not been able to produce products that are truly _compelling_ options vs Office and Slack. Maybe there's a "yet" at the end of that, but as time marches on, it feels less likely for some reason.
He's probably looking for an HF rig -- baofengs definitely don't do HF. As someone else said, the LimeSDR would work well, just need an amplifier because the power out is on the order of milliwatts.

Honestly, a lot more, at least until we get them right.

I think we are going to see a cambrian explosion of crypto social media platforms as people experiment with different incentive structures, and learn what kind of content is created by particular structures.

And building the initial momentum is definitely going to be a big challenge, but one that will be mitigated by the reward system of a community-owned platform. The value of a social media platform is not in the software, but in the social network. With cryptocurrrency-based networks, it will be easier than ever for users to share in the fruits of creating that network.

The graphed figure is not wealth, but income. The (great-)grandparent poster is suggesting that as long as people bounce between income levels, i.e., they have some higher paying years and some lower paying years, it has a smoothing effect on the net income inequality.
LimeSDR is not that great for HF work - the chip is really designed for cellular frequencies. Although you can technically tune it to lower HF freqs, it really struggles at that range - there is lots of evidence on the forums that demonstrate this.
The downside is that the credit incentivizes her to repeat the process again and again.
Do you feel differently about a big deal if it comes in stages? A big deal is less of a big deal when it's a shorter term paid pilot, and even in that case some of the other downsides mentioned like slow process still play a role, but on the flip side this can be a means of funding product development…

Is it sensible to turn your head at a big deal asking the company for a smaller one as opposed to avoiding them entirely?
