I assume this is the lens you're speaking of? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/768816-REG/Panasonic_...

If so, it's sitting tied for the #1 spot of next lenses I'm getting, along with the Sigma 30mm/f1.4. The biggest hole in my lens collection right now is a fast portrait good bokeh prime. The Sigma is cheaper, and I like the slightly longer focal length, but it's also bulkier since it's not truly a native lens, and I suspect its image quality may not be as good. Do you have the Leica, and how is it?
Also user can require the service to remove his personal information and that means that service provider has to notify services he uses to stop using and remove that PI.

How will this work with Google Analytics and things like that? Will random e-shop be required to notify Google to stop using/delete PI for random persons upon request?
Ignore the vacation, hobbies and meditation nonsense mentioned here. You need to attack the core of your problems.

You need to delegate, but before that, I think you need to think through your company's structure and have a clear separation of roles and responsibilities. You are saying you are the ceo but also do engineering in a ~20 person mostly dev-oriented team, that all might point to badly defined roles/responsibilities.

There are classically 5 roles in every company (some companies might have less, some more) -
1. the visionary (the person who has the crazy ideas and looks more into the future)
2. the integrator (CEO)
3. head of operations (the product/service you are developing and/or running)
4. head of admin/finance
5. head of sales/marketing

Each of those roles should be filled with one person. That person is also the single one to be responsible for performing in that role in that area. All the other roles should not micromanage the other role's responsibility areas. The role of the ceo is to work on the company systems and see that all of the "heads" are ticking ok (kpi-s are met, tasks have been done, etc) and communication is in place. Smaller companies can also assign multiple roles to a single person.

If that kind of structure is in place, it is much easier to delegate.
That’s a shame. I should hold onto mine dearly then, they might be worth a lot on secondhand marketplaces soon.

I believe they’re still selling the old MBP model without the touch bar, not sure if it’s the same build as the 2015 though, and there’s no dedicated GPU option.

At least 43-years old, if the first edition of The Mythical Man-Month can be counted. Over 50 years if you consider the OS/360 project that book was inspired by. Centuries if you consider prototyping generally as an engineering practice.

It's pretty sound, in my view -- AAA budgets are gigantic. Spending a few million on a failed prototype is probably a wise investment compared to spending hundreds of millions on a failed product.

Edit: original title was "Why I'm using a 30 year old method", hence my reference to the age of the method.
Most apps are written in GTK or Qt, which do scaling well.

The main issue is that scaling can't really be done on a per-display basis.
Yeah.

Gaming laptops make great developer workstations.

I love my MSI GS63VR. Nice having real CPU and GPU horse power in a laptop. I threw linux on it right away and never looked back. It has all the ports (HDMI, mini-dp, and USB-C), even ethernet. It's as slim as a MBP and much lighter. The trackpad and battery life suck though, and at 180W, don't try to use it on a plane.

The Razor Blade series is really good too.

> just looking at the shape of the marks on the page brings an immediate recall, whereas with text I kind of have to read it and figure it out again

I realized this about myself one day while moving, when I found an ancient hand-written essay from high school. At first I could not decipher it at all, but suddenly it clicked and I could read everything.

I realized then that my teachers had been right, my handwriting is really awful, and the only reason even _I_ can read it is that the unique shapes become associated with my thoughts through the act of writing.
Any data you collect that you do not unambiguously need to provide the service would be an appeal for "legitimate interest" as a legal basis for collecting it. There are a number of things GDPR writes about it and of course you cannot be sure how this will play out in practice, but the main points are:

* it must be reasonable from the user's perspective

* there must be alternative; you cannot achieve the goal (your "legitimate interest") without it

* it must be balanced with the rights of the user, and not infringe on their freedom or fundamental rights

* if your "legitimate interest" is direct marketing, the user can always object, and you are required to actively inform the user of this right

Not even garbage necessarily, just a limited choice in lenses. The mirrorless lenses are being made by the same high quality established companies as the DSLR lenses, they just have fewer choices. To take MFT as an example, which is the biggest mirrorless lens mount by far, it has lenses by several different manufacturers but still doesn't have the same variety available of either the Canon or Nikon full-frame DSLR mounts. Here's the MFT lenses: http://www.four-thirds.org/en/microft/lens_chart.html
I use Wizard all the time. I'm not a data scientist, but I often need to make engineering decisions based on trends hidden in large datasets. Wizard makes it easy to find what I'm looking for. I'm generally using it for a first pass at data, and when I find the trend, outlier, correlation, etc, that I'm looking for, I'll then move on to a tool with more features like Tableau or JMP to really dig in.

What is wrong with having a fast and easy to use tool which makes data analysis accessible? If people misuse their data or their tools, that's their fault.

> phone note apps for me tend to be write only

In that vein, I've recently realized that the CRUD model also defines how I interact with task management apps - I Create lots of stuff, Read maybe 10% of that, Update maybe 50% of what I read, and then maybe Delete (or mark done/hide) 10% of what I update - in short tons of stuff goes in and almost nothing ever comes out.

I realized that with data on a computer, for the most part the default state is that it lives forever, and you have to take positive action to remove data. With paper or physical media, the default state is for things to be lost/culled over time and positive action must be taken to retain things with some sort of organization. "Lost" can mean that what you wrote down 3 months ago is now 30 pages back in your daily notebook, etc. The "presence" of the data fades a bit over time.

So, for me, positive action is fatiguing. It is more valuable to have an organization system that is self-limiting where I must take positive action to capture more, rather than one where I must take positive action to distill far too much data down to what is important. I'm always looking for a better system, but so far a daily notebook where I keep the important stuff "bubbled up" to the most recent 1-3 pages has been more sustainable than any of the Wunderlist/Notes/Reminders/Omnifocus/Trello/etc. ever were.
Extraordinary rendition[1] Reminds me a lot of that. Just Chinese-style. As well as how the DPRK kidnapped people from Japan[2] and South Korea[3]. One of the abductees from South Korea was a famous director, Shin Sang-ok[4] and his wife. Kim Jong Il hoped he would revitalize northern cinema. It's a fascinating story.

You're right. English is not my native language, and I learned it in the school, which included speaking, albeit not too much.

The steps I outlined is how I sharpened my skills after school, during my non-educational life, in a spontaneous manner. I understood these steps years later, and share them whenever there's a chance to share.

I've practiced my speaking skills in the university via presentations, and during my work travels. Also my work requires me to send a lot of English mails, which tend to progress conversation-like. Since they were the things which came to my way rather than I consciously selected, I have no reproducible way of practicing spoken English, so I knowingly omitted those.
I really like the Fujifilm X-Ex line in particular and use it more than my Canon 5Diii. (I mostly use the latter for action or if I need very tele or very wide angle lenses.) But the mirrorless lines are definitely sort of a niche. A lot of the potential customers are pretty locked into Canon or Nikon glass. Furthermore, for a lot of people, mirrorless doesn't fully replace DSLRs--though it increasingly can for many types of shooting. So you're left with expensive camera lines that aren't quite as versatile as a DSLR although they're significantly lighter and smaller.

In some states it's not really the fault of the student; no amount of planning would've helped you. The 4 year college will keep changing the structure of the requirements, and while their own students will be grandfathered in, a transfer student will have to somehow make up the credits that have changed out from under them. I've seen this even in states that supposedly let you transfer everything from a 2 year. You technically still have a bunch of credits, they just don't fulfill all of the requirements of your degree progression at that point; it's sort of like if you had switched majors as a junior.
I just started carrying a notebook in my back pocket, and a pen in my front pocket.

Technology is great, but there are some things that I have a better experience doing on paper.
I'd completely reverse the phrase: "majority of people who install an ad blocker do it to block ads. Blocking trackers is just an added bonus".

You can already control what apps children can download using family linked accounts and really the only problematic app left is the browser, but personally I found my kids were just not really interested in the web. For the most part you need to type URLs and search for stuff and it’s all far more confusing than using apps, so they tended not to use it.
that doesn't mean degrees from two are equal, or that there wasnt an opportunity cost paid by going to cc. I'm going to speculate that a UCLA degree is better than a calstate degree, but people going to UCLA are already high class, thus making UCLA lower mobility than calstate (cant move up when you're already at the top).

You misread this, likely because that would have made more sense than what actually occurred. The friend/accomplice did not kill anybody, but was killed by police in a shootout; the defendant was charged with murder for this death.

CC is a mixed bag. CCs can shine in that the teachers are hired to teach rather than research and that they can be more practical / approachable than a specialized researcher.

I had a really lucky CC. I lived in a R&D military town hours from any other town. Some of my teachers were literally rocket scientists from the military base who happened to love to teach. The other teachers tended to be the spouses of the rocket scientists (which biases towards them also being smart) who had no where else to teach because of how remote the town is. They were all smart, passionate about teaching, and were practical.

It's changed a lot. Check out the Sony mirrorless cameras now. The A7 III which just came out is amazing, and dominates any of the DSLR competition at the same price point.

Mirrorless cameras have reached the point in their development where their increased simplicity is winning out in terms of providing quality for the money. A mirrorless camera is really simple; there's one moving part (the shutter), and everything else is stationary sensors and screens. It thus benefits well from the exponential nature of silicon development. DSLRs, by contrast, are more complicated and have more moving parts, and we've reached the inflection point where mirrorless cameras are winning out at the same price point thanks to the simplicity of manufacturing they enable.

And hell, all mirrorless cameras have an electronic shutter feature too (for silent shots), so they can get away with zero moving parts in most situations. A DSLR has always got a mirror to move at the minimum.

To some degree yes but a much more limited scope than what's available at the university level. I don't think most public high schools teach humanities, political science etc.

> batteries don't become lighter as they drain.

Right, but they can be thrown overboard :-)
I still start each day at work recopying the previous day’s list, reordering it, and adding new items. I’ve tried to move to a computer TODO for a couple of decades, but no success. Most of my peers do nothing, so I do lists for them, too, occasionally. They really like getting a list, and they tend to be more productuve for it. They doodle on them, cross out items, take notes, etc.
> spending hundreds of millions on a failed product

Where are all these failed products though? I can name Mass Effect: Andromeda and basically nothing else in recent years. Hollywood has far more big flops.

Big-budget games are almost guaranteed some degree of success. If you follow the proven formulas and don't mess up, the game sells.
No worse than when panning with a DSLR.

Of course the keeper-rate drops dramatically in direct relation with shutter speed but that's the beauty of digital. Even one out of 20 keeps me happy and the rest go to the bitbucket.

At present I have to restrict my camera to about 5fps when panning at 1/60 and even slower when at 1/30; if non-slappy mirrorless boosts that two or threefold I'll be delighted.
Many cameras do now have the ability to sync with a smartphone over Bluetooth or WiFi, it's just unrefined and drains battery life. My camera, the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II, can do this with nothing more than an app install on Android/iOS. The battery drain is problematic, though, and it doesn't work unless you shoot in JPG or RAW+JPG! That's right, it won't auto-convert images on the fly just when requested. Since I shoot RAW only for higher burst performance, that means that I don't use this photo, and wait until I get home before posting anything.
Almost certainly you're thinking of Paul Otlet and Henri La Fontaine, leading to the Mundaneum. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mundaneum

> It aimed to gather together all the world's knowledge and classify it according to a system they developed called the Universal Decimal Classification.

Quoting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Otlet :

> Otlet was responsible for the widespread adoption in Europe of the standard American 3x5 inch index card used until recently in most library catalogs around the world (by now largely displaced by the advent of the online public access catalog (OPAC)).

Mechanized (but non-computer) versions of such a system include Vannevar Bush's Memex (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memex ) and more obscurely Calvin Mooers' DOKEN (http://www.historyofinformation.com/expanded.php?id=4243 ) and ... there's a French information scientist from the same era but I've forgotten his name.

The materials I read said that after 10K-100K cards (forgot the actual tradeoff point), it's better to switch to interior cards because it becomes more worthwhile to sort by machine. The machines are expensive to rent, and not worthwhile until many searches are needed.
For most smaller businesses there is no real reason to do all that much as long as you can answer such questions on an ad-hoc basis. Although of course we still have to see how widespread it will become in practice.
