Now I work for a consultancy specializing in customer loyalty and the connection between customer experiences and profitability, so our needs are of course not representative of all users. We ended up passing on both SurveyMonkey and Qualtrics when we decided to move from our home-built solution and ended up going for Confirmit.

SurveyMonkey is a good survey tool, but although they have some extra additions once you have set up the survey and collected data (visualization and insights sharing), the product just doesn't do enough. If you only want the solid and robust surveying tool, you are almost better off going for Google Forms - simple surveying tools abound. If what you are doing is market research only, then SurveyMonkey doesn't really cut it - there are much stronger tools out there to handle panels, quotas and all the logic that you need to not get bogged down by manual processes.

Most of these Survey tool producers are pivoting into Customer Experience management and are starting to provide tools for handling much deeper parts of organizational processes related to these challenges. This means not only automating customer feedback processes for when it is most relevant for the customer to provide such, but also allowing for collection of data through other means than just surveys, action management systems for automatically creating and managing cases for customers having experienced e.g. unsatisfactory events, allowing for CRM integrations via API, etc.

In the market for handling customer experiences (as well as those for employees), I think SurveyMonkey is in a squeeze.
It sounds like a lack of years of experience in a given specialization. When I graduated university and finished internships, I was fast at coding OOP enterprise-type applications and systems-level C programs.

Now that I've spent so much of my career doing other things, e.g. reverse engineering and infra work, my coding is less than a quarter as fast.

There are also considerations as to how productive you are at working for hours straight, and also whether the "fast" people are creating durable architecture.
You can still load any old unsigned JS in Chrome by going to chrome://extensions, tuning on developer mode and choosing 'Load Unpacked'
Customers would presumably not store their documents on publicly available servers.
I think that both things can be true. The problem is most people conflate all of the "establishment" into one. For example, one could rightly point out how terrible economists who hailed free trade as being a good thing ended up robbing many people of their lifelihood but in the same breath claim those same experts say climate change is real, whilst not knowing that these experts are separate groups of people.
Put your fingers in front of your face, in the middle of each eye. The glasses would only display the overlay between your fingers. The other half of your vision (and it is a hard cut off as you move your head) does not get the overlay. That would be roughly 90 degrees, which puts 60 and 30 in perspective.

Say we have 1,000 pixels. With current lenses we can display 500 of those pixels over 30 degrees of vision. This is the tradeoff between FOV and Resolution. You could also display those 500 pixels over 60 degrees of vision at half the resolution. A better lens increases the maximum resolution, so you can show 500 pixels over 15 degrees of vision. But you're still going to bottleneck on the total number of pixels you can display. And if you're targetting FOV having higher resolution only hurts because it costs more of your total pixel budget for less of the users vision being full.

Hiyo. Cofounder of Statwing (YC S12) here.

We make an easy-to-use statistical analysis tool, and we were acquired by Qualtrics in 2016 (and rebranded as "Stats iQ").[1]

There's a lot of situations where I could imagine preferring to analyze data in SPSS or Python or something (e.g., complicated transformations, exact same analyses run routinely, advanced analyses that we can't do yet). But, to my mind, ideally you'd not need to export so you can just stay in one tool and work on the one canonical version of your data.

I'm speculating here, but is it possible that your complaint isn't with the fact that the analysis is online per se, but rather that no online analysis tool you've used is anywhere close to as good as the standard offline ones? Or are there really features that you couldn't imagine existing online that you really rely on?

Asking partially b/c it makes my shilling more informative and interesting, but partially because I'm genuinely curious. (Apologies for the shilling, folks, I know it's not great form, but startup habits die hard.)

While I don't know you personally, I can definitely say I spend too much time trying to swoop in and solve problems when I hear about them, so maybe you'll find something you didn't think of there. Also, it's nice to get out and meet others to at least take your mind off of life for a while and maybe make some beneficial connections.

I think the average age might be a little lower than yours but the vast majority seem to be 30+, so it's not all teeny-boppers.

Maybe because '72% of economists in a Bloomberg poll immediately after the EU referendum vote predicted that there would be a recession in 2016 or 2017. In a Royal Economic Society survey of economists, 90% said there would be a short-term loss associated with Brexit.'. Similarly top economists predicted a recession in the US after the election. Neither occurred.
I agree.

Nah, it's not.

Germany has already several established agencies in this area that could use the money but wouldn't have to be build up from scratch.
Indeed the cost of benefits has risen precipitously while the value has dropped. White-collar professionals are insulated from this by a combination of much greater employer contribution ratios and a healthier risk pool.

I had read an article claiming that the major source of government transfers were due to a much larger percentage of people being on Social Security disability. The causes are a mix of improvement in the enrollment process and a loss of jobs in regions that experience lower migration. I could be misremembering aspects of this so I won't be shocked if someone disputes this.
This is not specific to the US. Basically if you want a specific visa, a permanent residency, or a citizenship in many countries, you should have your travel records and old addresses saved somewhere.

> But Norway uses the oil revenue to build a better future. Which everyone will benefit from.

How do you get to that? Norway has extremely tight immigration policies. They hardly let anybody in. Their multi trillion dollar bounty will primarily benefit a few million people, while they export extreme per capita pollution; their per capita oil production is consistently among the top five or six globally.

What spectacular technological breakthroughs and exports has Norway produced from their oil riches (in clean energy or otherwise)? I'm not aware of any. Contrast them with neighboring Sweden for example when it comes to technological innovation. Norway isn't that type of culture, they're much more akin to the insular, small kingdom petro states of the Middle East. You don't have to take my word for it, you can look at their primary industries, their nobel production, their scientific output and their technology invention.
Isn't there still OCR software that does all processing locally?
They're not saying that their server will leak data, they're saying that an ecosystem of Slack Chrome extensions injecting arbitrary JS is fundamentally much, much less secure than an ecosystem of integrations using official Slack APIs. It's debatable whether Slack has the authority to disallow Chrome extensions, but it's certainly in their interest to discourage them.

If everyone gets used to installing 5 Chrome extensions from unknown developers adding little themes and tweaks to Slack, then some of those extensions are going to be malicious and a lot of people are going to have their accounts stolen. Third-party software should only request as much access as it needs, and Chrome extensions are just bad architecture for this sort of problem, since you can't say "this extension gets to make benign visual tweaks to the page but doesn't get to steal my Slack account". I haven't worked with Slack's API, but nearly every API like it provides granular access and certainly doesn't let you steal the user's account, and all actions are done via an API token that can be tracked and revoked by Slack if your app is malicious.
Exactly, I'm getting a huge cognitive dissonance vibe from the authour ("so I was a tourist and I noticed, there are way too many tourists!)
This response painted a picture of being honest, but skipped the part about why James Kyle was removed. Granted that he wasn’t contributing to the project (in recent times). Granted that he made a spurious (?) change without informing or consulting anyone.

But is it right to just remove people because they made a mistake, even a slightly grave one? What conversations happened in the background? Was he unrepentant and adamant? Without knowing the answers to those, this looks like a knee jerk reaction based on concerns and issues raised by many.

I personally would think that community based open source projects would spend more time communicating and checking if a consensus can be arrived before such decisions.

To reiterate, I’m not saying the decision to remove him was wrong. What I’m saying is that this post doesn’t seem to explain what went on behind the scenes and why this decision was taken and if there were no other resolutions available or considered.

That already happened. A friend of mom, his aunt, owned a house in a bay in Ibiza during the 1960s. She bought it for €150k back in the day (which still was a lot of money back then).

A few years ago, she sold it for €12 million.
> It's just some silliness somewhere, probably about "haxx".

I'm not sure why people keep saying that. We've got no information to confirm that. People have been denied travel before just because they shared the name with someone on a no-fly list. There can be lots of different reasons for the rejection.
I think that there can be an "inordinate amount of time" you can spend reading is the anti-intellectualism here.

What’s really interesting is that James considers Vice to be evil misogynists but that he "collaborated" with them because it benefitted him. He sees no irony in this and feels no guilt of association. Really makes you think...

Serious question: do you notice or feel any of the economic impact of the tourists? It seems like there's a decent side hustle to be made during the summer from all those people
Most progress on clean energy doesn't come from the breakthroughs alone - you also need large deployment to bring costs down.

That's certainly what they appear to be doing with electric planes. This will spur innovation and lower prices.
Hey I'd suggest going out and just walking around/wandering in peaceful and sometimes semi-crowded places. I find that it

Also more scientifically, the vitamin D probably helps[0] (there are more recent papers so do some searching), and exposure to people probably helps[1] -- you can be in a situation with people around, but you're not required to interact with them. Eventually I get the feeling that you'll venture out little by little with a more interaction to spice up the walks.

Can you expand some why that is bothering?

Though not sure that is his stance even. It seems it is more about it being a wasted opportunity cost. That is, it was a good PR campaign, but it ran out of steam and contuing to invest time and money into it does pay off anymore.
It's one thing if they bloat their mail app beyond recognition. It's another thing entirely if they brittle Web standards (through whatwg funding and Chrome de facto behaviour) ad absurdum.
The Web used to be such a simple and elegant platform (you might disagree) that was immediately useful and transparently working for what people wanted to use it for, including simple static or almost-static web mail apps. Why was/is it necessary to make it so fscking complicated that the world's digital heritage is at stake, and information is monopolized in very few hands whose business model is spying on their users? With "hackers" standing by and cheering?

The other maintainer actually is wrong, the changes to the license were enforceable but irrelevant in the light of forking.

Plus the changes made the license incompatible with a lot of other FOSS. (e.g. GPL)

This was a specific clause that was badly phrased. (in other licenses you'd also add a termination clause)
That was my life, nearly every week. We had someone who doesn't mute and his kid will be crying all through the meeting. People tried reminding him couple of times to no avail.

Real GDP growth quarter-over-quarter was higher in 2014 than in 2017 or 2018 [1].

In reality, the chief executive has a small possible impact on the economy in the positive direction, and an unbounded opportunity for plunging its economy. Claiming Obama is responsible for the recovery is disingenuous (beyond some good Federal Reserve and Treasury appointments).

And now apparently the license has been reverted to MIT:

https://github.com/lerna/lerna/pull/1633

Someone had very decent aims-- protesting ICE-- and executed it in the wrong scope-- a license change.

If you read the comments on that issue you'll see at least one person takes that as a good lesson for avoiding the very decent aims in open source projects.

That is unfortunate, and IMO a good reason to avoid mucking around with licenses at all.
> It seems to be an issue of people spending time and money to create and satisfy procedures that degenerate into rituals, so that they can look all procedural and responsible in front of – courts? regulators? investors? I don’t know.

Direct supervisors? I don't think someone inventing or enforcing a procedure like this is trying to satisfy investors. They're mostly concerned with their own job security and chances of promotion. I propose that a big chunk of the economy is made of such chains of people trying to please their direct bosses.

Getting squeezed on trains is something that happens everywhere, especially during rush hour. Bikes or no bikes. It seems to be that the train you took wasn't adequately furnished to handle bikes. Is there an additional fee to bring a bike on the train? If not, the train should be better furnished to meet the demands.

The Danish train network is the one I have most experience with, especially around the Copenhagen area. The local S-trains have open areas in the middle part, with bike racks that pack in the bikes pretty well, and there's room for people standing with bikes to approximately double the capacity. There is also smaller compartments at either end of every trainset. During rush hour, at least two trainsets run coupled together, and there's a train every 10 minutes (every 5 minutes on the busiest routes). It has only ever been tight for space to the level of having to wait for the next train once or twice in my experience.

The bike parking in the picture you linked is at Nørreport station, the second-busiest station on the network, that area supports thousands of commuters every day, both by public transit and by bike. It's the only station on the network that has restrictions against getting on and off the trains with a bike during rush hour, due to it being a very busy underground station.

A picture is not going to give you an adequate perspective of the space available, take a look at Google Maps' satellite view or even better Street View. The area is very spacious and open, with plenty of room for pedestrians, yet it still supports parking for hundreds and hundreds of bikes, packed rather densely for efficiency. If each of the people riding those bikes had been in cars, the parking space demands would be insane.

Pedestrians are humans, cyclists are humans, we don't look at it like "us versus them". Good bike parking facilities are in everyone's interest. Public transit is a great backbone, but it cannot serve everyone perfectly, so bicycles fill in the gaps for a lot of people. For some of us, it often becomes the primary mode of transport, because it's small, unobtrusive, agile, affordable and healthy.

The other pic you mention is Strøget, which is a pedestrian street; No vehicles allowed other than deliveries outside of normal business hours. It's specifically made as a walking shopping street, not a transport street, and literally no one in Copenhagen would dream of commuting through there in the busiest seasons, as it can be literally packed shoulder to shoulder with tourists.

As all experience shows here in Copenhagen, if you down-prioritize cars, there is absolutely oodles of space for both pedestrians and cyclists, it really brings a perspective on how much space cars take up for no good reason. I would love for the inner city to be completely car-free, only allowing buses and a delivery driver here and there. It would free up so much space that your concerns about cyclists taking up space would be thoroughly disproven. As one of the bike-heaviest cities in the world, there is still plenty of space for both cyclists and pedestrians.
Full heartedly. Ever since, I've always tried to be better to young people online especially when they are looking help or advice.

Murders are under-reported in the mass-media in America because it would make for boring news.
