You, personally, sound like you should probably not move into management; you should find a company that has big technical projects that need technical project leadership (e.g. architect, principal, tech lead IC roles).

For me, my goal is to optimize my career for impact, and I noticed what a huge impact good vs bad managers made on my life & on the whole team, so I decided management was a niche where I could really make a big contribution. I'm not sure if I can be a 10X IC, but I think I can be a 2X manager for a team of 5.

The Case for Mental Minimalism
In general relativity gravity is curvature of spacetime caused by mass-energy. Changes in curvature propagate at c, the speed of causality. Gravitational waves are a special case of those changes predicted by GR, inspiraling massive objects making the spacetime around them ”ring” like a bell.

An eventual theory of quantum gravity may entail another viewpoint of gravity as a quantum field and mediated by a hypothetical graviton. But as of now we don’t have a good idea of what such a theory might look like; unifying QM and GR is famously one of the great unsolved problems in physics.

> The Reddit redesign must be the worst redesign in the history of redesigns.

Welcome to the user-friendly to ad-friendly switch.

They went from being a tech-oriented/friendly company to a news-style company as soon as they were bought by a publisher.

An HN post a few days.

"Why Are Newspaper Websites So Horrible?"

It's not just the horrible redesign. Reddit changed for the worse in every way possible. The quality of content is pathetic. All you get is just political ads pretending to be reddit content and reposts. But the biggest disappointment is their change in ethos. Reddit used to support free speech, now they support censorship just like most publishers and media companies.

When digg screwed up, we had reddit to fall back on. Now that reddit screwed up, there is nothing else to fall back on.

It's not the smoking a joint part that is troublesome (and let's face it, he didn't really 'smoke'), but the how and when and why part and what it say about his judgement (or lack of it).

A few things that come to my mind that are better on Android:
On Stock Android you can edit quick access settings;
It stacks notifications (but it is coming in the new iOS) and allows quickly replying from notification screen;
* Better structured settings menu;
* Having shortcuts for frequently used apps or actions and having widgets for notes/calendar on the home-screen save multiple taps and swipes and provides all that info at a glance without opening specific app;
* Android Phone app with contacts is also easier to use since search is available on all of the tabs and it provides grid view with most commonly contacted contacts. It also searches in company contact directory, a setting that is hidden under multiple clicks on iOS.

This is a bit funny, everyone said how intuitive iPhone is, but on the first day I accidentally opened magnifier and was unable to close it without getting to my computer and googling. None of my friends who had iPhone knew what that square was and how to remove it from the screen. It is not intuitive in any way to do 3 finger double tap.

And even custom keyboards are too limited by iOS SDK. For typing in languages where symbols with accents or diacritics are used it is inconvenient that the long tap doesn't bring the wanted symbol in focus and you have to swipe as well. That is not a problem on Android.

And you have to know when and where to swipe left or right to bring up some other menu or to go back one step. On Android you just click the OS back button on the bottom of the screen. For app switching - there is a button for that.

Overall it requires more clicks and swipes on iOS to get around.

I am not sure what Android version You used but the stock Google Android was a lot better in many ways. Sure, there are cool iOS features as well that are not available on Android but there are very few of those.

> For a bad language it sure is taking a long time to die

Greenfield projects are not abundant within any organization, thus developers invest their lives extending the infrastucture. Consequently, older technologies tend to stay, particularly when they are proven and actually perform well.

And adding to that, just because some tech is new it doesn't mean it's any good. History is packed with the dead husks of many latest and greatest technologies that died off.
Then as you say don’t simply ban "private property occupying public space" but require some degree of efficiency when doing so – people can occupy public space, but like with all resources, they must be considerate and efficient when doing so and not let it go to waste.

A simple requirement would be a strict upper limit of 1m²/passenger at all times for vehicles and pedestrians. Trivial to fulfil for considerate means of transportation and quite impossible if you want to lug two tonnes of steel around with you.
100% wrong....autonomous vehicles will result in vastly more cars on urban roads, idling or driving around in circles waiting to do profitable work...it will shortly become an epidemic requiring congestion legislation

think about it....if you set up an autonomous ride sharing service, your path to profitability lies in having cars closer to prospective riders. so it makes total sense to put as many cars on the road as possible....it's not like there is a person driving who must be compensated or fed
I would be in favor of abolishing the Pacific time zone and merging it with Mountain Time to create Western Standard Time. The mountain states can still do DST if they want, but the pacific states can just stay on WST all year round.
Hi,

Van and trucks can enter the city the first time in the morning, so things are ok, and there are no problems for that.

The city itself is a "round island", so cars can go close to the estuary and be close to the city, so get into city center takes less than 15 minutes.

This article does not in any way provide us with enough information to conclude whether it was a good licensing deal for either party. It just tells a romanticized Steve Jobs business story.

We don't know if this license helped Apple sell so many products that it paid back the investment.

For Amazon it obviously worked out on two fronts, since they also got paid 1M. Unless you mean that this has to be weighed against lost Apple product sales on Amazon? Were Apple products even for sale on Amazon at the time?
Back in ~1998 or so, Dwango[1] provided a similar service, and for the time / capabilities it worked very well. There is still a latency penalty for distance, and I don't see cloud computing solving that, so having these locally makes sense (gamers typically buy < 5ms gear etc)

Most cities in the Netherlands have a car-free inner city or shopping streets, no need to idolize this particular one. Going from a congested city to a car-free one is a good move though.

Interestingly, while Amsterdam's historic inner city is fully open to cars, you don't really see much of them - in part because it's just not practical, in part because parking is very expensive.

Could there be other causes than differentiation to explain the data collect? That would be an excellent questioning to ask the team at University of Massachusetts if they made a dissertation or research paper, since all the article says is that they used a established peer-reviewed technique that assumingly has gone through such questioning. It would be interesting to know the statistical probability that collocated servers would exclusively explain the data.

> now that I've read TFA, it's pretty clear that they're not talking about favoring providers, but rather, throttling entire classes of traffic.

I must strongly disagree there. What kind of different class of traffic would give throttled traffic to different forms of on-demand video stream services? NBCSports, Netflix, YouTube Premium and Amazon prime. I don't see it so please name the four different classes of traffic those sites represent that a congestion system would use as identifiers.
That is what the future of any food production is. Organic and traditional food production is terrible for the environment because it consumes far too much land. We are destroying far too much wildlife to produce food using traditional methods.

Indoor food production either as mentioned here or as in bio reactors and hydroponics systems use something like 100-700 times less land for the same food production.

Think how much land could be given back to nature if we use these more efficient methods and managed to stabilize our population growth.

Forests and fields could be populated by wild animals again.
Depends on the country probably.

In my country villages are very often https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_settlement , going on for kilometers along some road, with farming land on both sides.

Small to medium cities (< 100 000 people) are often very dense because they're mostly made out of commieblocks or old tenament houses.

It's much easier to live without a car in a city.

BTW: this village goes on for 20 km. It has 6000 people. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawoja

For comparison https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionowo is the most densely populated city in Poland, it has about 50 000 people, and is about 3x5 km of low buildings. And still about 10% of the city is a forest :)

Cars waste so much space that people are used to bloated cities.
Even if there is a large democratic victory and top of that, if the political establishment manages to turn everything around the under the watch of the current present (or the next), if they still cant address the issues that have been building for decades in the US, they'll have a field day when next aristocrat takes office on nationalistic pandering.

The trade war™ is a symptom of a larger problem that neither major political party has been bothering to address for the past couple of decades because major backers have been profiting very well of it personally.

China and the US have bigger problems looming than this trade war™. I find it really hilarious that x% more expensive electronics that people don't really need year after year is the rallying cry to wreck in into the voting booth.

In Italy we say "con il senno di poi ..." that translates to "in hindsight" or "in retrospect" but that literally means "with the wits (or wisdom) of afterwards" that somehow is more expressive.

These experts are very good to pick good examples and make "vague" predictions - not entirely unlike economists and astrologists (not exactly the same category, but seemingly very, very similar in accuracy) - the key problem remains the oversimplification in attributing the success (or failure) of anything (particularly such a complex item as a car or a computer product) to a single (or a handful of) reason(s).

That's actually how I found out my Lenovo was doing MITM a few days before the whole Superfish debacle exploded on the net. I went on Bitbucket (I think) and noticed something seemed different, I realised it wasn't showing an EV certificate: I dug deeper and saw that the issuer was suspect.

I feel that EV certificates do have their use for high-worth targets (banks and so one). Getting one is not trivial and definitely not scalable. Maybe they are a bit overpriced, maybe the certificate industry is kind of sketchy, but that's other debates.
The person you're responding to never made a claim to objectivity. The fact that someone is one of the most influential figures in the history of twentieth century thought and culture is, in my view, a very good reason to engage with them. If you care about our common world, and its history, then you may well want to understand Nietzsche.

As someone else pointed out, security is a good reason to upgrade, since iOS 10 hasn't seen updates for longer than a year and since iOS 12 is a performance focused release.

At the same time, I hate the change that came with iOS 11 for WiFi and Bluetooth in Control Center. Toggling them only disconnects them temporarily, and doesn't turn the radios off. WiFi and Bluetooth will automatically reconnect if you go to a different location or at 5 in the morning local time. So Control Center is useless if you want to turn off the radios (to save on battery, depending on your location and other factors) and/or want control on when and where they connect and/or want to stay off the grid on your own terms and also enhance security. You have to go to the Settings app to turn them off completely or use Siri, and neither of these actions are as easy to do as using Control Center. This behavior remains the same in iOS 12 too. When this change was added in iOS 11, EFF wrote an article about how harmful this new behavior is. [1]

That said, some (or many) people do like the new behavior in iOS 11, where they don't have to remember that they turned off the radios and want to connect automatically.

For security's sake, especially when you have a device that's capable of getting updates for several years, it's better to keep it up-to-date.

Raleigh converted Fayetteville Street to pedestrian only back in 1977. It ended up killing all of the businesses there.

https://www.wral.com/news/local/story/163829/

The city reopened it to traffic, however, and "revitalized" the area, resulting in a booming downtown economy:

I love pedestrian districts in cities. Copenhagen comes to mind. However, pedestrian district plans need to be considered carefully, else they backfire.

...you need to separate "coding as part of the work effort to achieve tasks of the team" and "coding to keep you on top of the technical aspects of leadership"...

This. I've been in a management position for a few years now and was scrum master for a few before that. I try to grab a programming task every sprint, but I absolutely don't have the time to commit to large programming tasks that are critical to team goals.

I'll grab some easy tasks (stuff that takes <2 hours or so). Or, I'll pick up some analysis/prototyping work that isn't time sensitive. Or, I'll just help team members when they struggle with complex problems.

These days, I actually prefer mentoring or pair-programming with the junior developers. I have 4 of them on the team and making them more productive and independent is going to pay much larger dividends than trying to complete a complex task between meetings.

As a Scandinavian DST gives me little benefits, we have to cope with the huge difference between winter and summer anyway, so having to learn how to handle a sudden jump in time too is just annoying.

Maybe DST is worth the hassle for people in the US and Southern Europe, but as a Scandinavian I am happy it is will be gone.

I have a form of cystic fibrosis. It is a genetic disorder and classified as a dread disease. It accounts for about a third of all adult lung transplants and about half of all pediatric lung transplants in the US.

I used to participate in CF email lists and forums. I've heard what transplant is really like.

In spite of the glowing testimony here, once you get listed for transplant, you basically sit around hoping someone dies tragically young in the prime of their life who will be a match for you. The surgery is hugely invasive and takes many months of recovery. You will take anti-rejection meds the rest of your life. Etc.

Additionally, most transplant candidates have conditions that involve slow deterioration over many years. It isn't like it typically happens suddenly and without warning.

I was diagnosed late in life, a bit over 17 years ago. I had a hole in my left lung. That hole has closed up and I've spent more than 17 years getting myself healthier while the entire world heaps abuse on me.

I have been thrown off of multiple email lists and forums. I'm routinely called a liar and a lunatic. When I complain to mods about the mistreatment, it's common for me to be told I'm the problem though I'm not breaking any forum rules.

I spent nearly six years homeless. I got damn little support while sleeping in a tent and trying to sort my problems while getting well while much of the world shit all over me.

This isn't really a can of worms I wanted to open. I don't see why it is a big damn deal to quietly suggest that maybe we could research other options too. I'm not suggesting some Repo Man scenario here.
>pedestrianised all 300,000 sq m of the medieval centre

It's a lot less impressive when you realize that they just banned cars from the area that was optimized for foot traffic anyway. Good on them for not trying to go to far and force people to walk/bike in areas designed for cars.

>"while people claim it as a right, in fact what they want are privileges."

Tangent: This is probably the most European quote ever. Roman senators, medieval lords, members of parliament, Napoleon, the Kaiser, etc, etc. could have all said this.

>And the same shopkeepers who complain are the ones who have survived in spite of the crisis

Surviving in spite of the crisis does not make the crisis fun or necessary. It took a lot of boarded up shops before my city took away the bike lanes and put back the on-street parking (no, the failed businesses did not coincide with the recession if anyone was wondering). You gotta do what works even if it's not what fits your political objectives. If an area of the city was designed for pedestrians that's probably what will work best there. If an area of the city was designed for cars then that's probably what will work best there. It's a disservice to taxpayers to use their money to jam a square peg in a round hole or vise-versa.

>The works were all financed locally and received no aid from regional or central government.

A "engineering manager" should have at least one task, it shouldn't be blocking or critical. The manager should at least build the code, push it, and see the unit tests actually run. With enough experience you should be able to spot things, eg, "HEY! There are no unit tests for this part!".

Not doing this makes you the restaurant owner on Gordan Ramsey's Kitchen nightmares. These restaurant owners are always confused whey their food sucks, why food is rotten in the fridge and why everything is failing.
