This sounds true for startups and "established" organisation alike.
For 2 startups -

For first one, got ditched by the other founders. Lesson learnt, make sure everything is in black.

For Second one - Support, you may have the best product ever and the best implementation team on this side of planet, but the customer support is paramount. We gained too many customers too quickly and our support was stretched thin, hiring new employees to train them on an exotic platform was not easy. Also learnt that product simplification is the key to product design and success. Also, a lot of other reasons, but these were the prime one.

It was well worth the time and would give it another shot someday.

Safely disengaging is a pretty critical feature that we haven't heard much about. We know that Tesla's don't do it, and that Uber's don't do it, and waymo says in their tests, humans aren't capable of reengaging in a short time frame. In a lot of the most vexing cases, I would guess the time between everything is fine and the computer can't find amy safe options is quite short.

A self driving car that can't drive in all conditions should be positioned instead as a driver assistant that can't assist in all conditions. If the expectation is that the human driver is doing all the work, but sometimes the computer will help keep the lane, or with emergency braking, it's OK for that to not happen in rain or snow -- it was always the human driver's responsibility, the computer will help when it can.

It might depend on the person, but I've retaught myself some math stuff, and I think you relearn it a lot faster the second time. The real problem is not getting bored.

> without taking up rabid misogyny.

I've read many posts on /r/braincels and didn't see any misogyny. Just lots of depressed men who will vehemently reject any notion that they can improve their situation. From what I observed their hatred was either self directed or used to attack straw men caricatures of people trying to offer advice. They seem to be just depressed, frustrated people who cannot get into relationships and hang out and lick their wounds with juvenile defense mechanisms.
Agreed. However do you see the 'retaliatory' tariffs imposed by China? At least, I hear from US media that China is apparently imposing similar tariffs, wondering if the categories are similar (or if they even have as large an impact as the US ones).
Ah, that is better at least.

If we stayed on a single time zone, my life would be easier.

First, I wouldn't have to avoid starting starting a cron/scheduled job between 1am and 3am -- once a year a 2:30am job may not run, when we skip from 2am to 3am, and once a year a 1:30am job may run twice, when we skip back from 2am to 1am. Your operating system may vary.)

Second, most of the world's database date/time fields are in local time. I hate seeing event volumes double for the fall-back hour, and drop to zero for the spring-forward hour.

Why? That hydrogen most likely is created with fossil fuels, you don't avoid emissions. Actually, you will create more because the energy density of hydrogen is lower than the density of diesel, mostly due to the heavy storage tank. In other words, you need more energy per mileage to move the trains because the weight of the trains is heavier which leads to more emissions.
You're mixing up your interpretation of "brutal" with theirs. Phrasing "mean brutal" implies there's an objective meaning. There isn't.
Generally "throttling" is when your connection is intentionally lowered beyond the base speed. So if you can use that 3mbps all month then it's not throttling.

But are you sure it looks "no different"? 3mbps will probably get you 720p at 30fps. It probably won't get you 1080 or higher, or 60fps.

I’d recommend visiting Finland. In these parts, there’s basically 3 months of optimal visibility. The rest is fog, rain, snow, sleet and road conditions that would shut down most of US.

I first suspected this fake interview stuff a few years ago at Microsoft. Let's just say everyone in the hiring event was one demographic and I was another.

It was a good solution but it became clear the interview was horseshit. They were wasting my time to fix their EEOC numbers.

Goods that are purchased from China will rise in price. If China decides to retaliate, and they will, anyone who sells to China will see sales drop and losses pile up. Since the Chinese are likely to target based on American politics (think rural red states), the US government will probably step in and offer emergency loans or cash if it gets bad enough, pushing US deficits higher.

There will also be some strange third order effects for Europe and other trading partners, but it’s beyond my skill with economics.

I've seen at least two comments so far saying that this is only a stopgap in the face of electrification. I do not think this is true, because electrification has very high upfront capital costs, which would not be justified on lesser-used lines.

To back up this statement, I can use some numbers from the Caltrain (California, US) electrification project, where the existing commuter-heavy Peninsula corridor is being converted from diesel-electric to 25 kV overhead electric.

Caltrain quotes the cost of electrifying the line at USD 697 million. See http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/Caltrain+Modernization+Progra...

Caltrain quotes the length of electrified track as "51+ miles", which I'm going to treat as "51 miles". See http://www.caltrain.com/Assets/Caltrain+Modernization+Progra... pages 4 and 7. The length runs from San Francisco's station at 4th & King streets, down to San Jose Diridon station.

Those two numbers above give us a cost of USD 13 2/3 million dollars per mile. But, that's not fully accurate.

Most of Caltrain's right-of-way is double-track. There are three areas with four tracks (for fast trains to pass slow trains), one area with three tracks (near the Millbrae station), and three areas with more than four tracks (one is Caltrain's yard and shops, the second is the many platforms at San Jose, and the third is the many platforms & yard at San Francisco). See an old Caltrain timetable at https://web.archive.org/web/20110513180702/http://acm.jhu.ed...

Let's say that San Francisco is about one mile of eleven tracks (so, 11 track-miles), each of the three passing points is two miles of four tracks (so, 24 track-miles), Millbrae has a mile of three tracks (3 track-miles), and San Jose has around one mile of twelve tracks (so, 12 track-miles). That leaves around 46 miles left of the 51 original, which would be double-track, giving us 92 track-miles. So, that's 142 track-miles, giving us a cost of USD 4.91 million per track-mile.

Of course, costs may certainly be higher in the US, where electrification (especially for mainline heavy rail) does not happen much (if at all), but still, electrification of an existing line is not cheap. For Caltrain, it makes sense, because this is a heavily-trafficed line in an area with many polluting vehicles (automobiles) that also wants to have a 'green' sensibility, as well as wanting the reduced noise profile.

When you consider freight, there are other issues. For example, in the US, heavy freight traffic lines use gondolas that can support two containers, stacked one on top of the other. That means wires would have to be higher than they would otherwise, and I wonder how how well those extra-extended pantographs would work at higher speed.
That's obviously specific to the US, but more to the point: they (Digicert) are looking at moving EV to trademarks which is nationally registered and a better match for 'verified brand'

A scientist, after years of training, can look at a physical system, break it down into its component parts, figure out how to model each part using mathematics, synthesize the models, and then do experiments to confirm the overall model.

An artist, after years of training, can look at a scene from twenty different perspectives, understand the emotional impact of each perspective on different types of human personalities, can select a few that most appeal to them, and then synthesizes these selected perspectives into one whole coherent art piece.

If you are not an expert at something, then don't reduce what they can see and do, to only what you can see and do, and declare that they are doing nothing interesting.
Awesome, congratulations. Really like what you've done with grapesjs - thanks for all the hard work!!!
I think there are two answers to that. The first is you are a small time player. The medium to big players do have to abide by the tariffs. And what they do is shift the factories and supply lines to other countries or back to US. The cost to consumers will be the same - for the company, it is a large upfront asset purchases that depreciates over time, and expense reduction over time.

The second is US is introducing a bill to have USPS start collecting electronics information on merchandises so customs inspectors can screen parcels for fentenyl and others. If your customers didn’t declare your goods correctly, and didn’t pay the tariff, the goods might be detained or disposed. Which would then mean troubles for you and your customers. Your customers might buy from other vendors after figuring out that buying from China isn’t worth the hassle

That's been my experience, just the threat of turning it off has a way of unblocking the system. I usually start with the users of the system who are often as frustrated with the system as we are.

Having said that I mostly don't offer credit terms anymore, my average order value is about £500 which means it isn't worth the time spent chasing late payments. In 99% of cases the customer will find a way of paying upfront.

Definitely free to negotiate at mine but with reduced pay then I start to think whether it's worth it..
It freaking kills me that management always gets to stay and engineers get the axe.

Indeed. Companies don’t hire just for fun, but because they have a plan and they need Workers to execute that plan. When layoffs happen it is always the fault of the planners but always the Workers who take the fall.

It should be automatic, every layoff requires the C-suite to go too.

Calling ever more things discrimination or some form of ism is really starting to make the words lose and and all meaning. Does IBM like young workers because they're young, or do they like young workers because they disproportionately have traits, outside of youth, that IBM considers desirable. I think few would argue that it's the former, yet that's precisely what's necessary to suggest this action is the production of discrimination or 'ageism'.

Companies like young workers because not only is their real value substantially lower than experienced employees, but because they also tend to have a poor understanding of themselves even being worth that value. They also tend to have few obligations outside of work and may be more anxious to try to 'prove' themselves. Older workers tend to not only demand more money but also have a much better understanding of their worth, and their role. They're not going to be trying to prove anything to anybody, and they are also going to generally have obligations outside of work, such as family.

You can see this view and its effect play out very visible in other areas of IBM. For instance as of last year IBM became primarily an Indian company, in at least as much as they have more Indian engineers than American engineers. And given they not that long ago had practically 0 Indian engineers and nearing 100% American engineers, that means they were actively firing Americans to hire Indians. Racism? Obviously not. It's the exact same thing in play. This doesn't mean I in any way support what they're doing. But at the same time I also don't support using emotionally charged buzzwords to try to rally against it.
I moderate, and we mods are not paragons of virtue.

They’re unpaid volunteers who have to make complex censorship decisions, which have very complex knock on effects.

Moderations is quickly becoming the drone wars of free speech. The free speech question of the 90s is dead, and the issue now is how much can we automod and how much can we socially engineer to manage the workload.

And this is not healthy, users can get banned or removed for just going to the wrong forums. Review of bans is dependent on people having the time to care about you.

My mod team doesn’t want this, but we don’t have a choice. As a result we are increasingly at odds with our community and the point of the core mission is increasingly alien to our daily tasks.

The point is that what’s coming is worse. The new tools are more subtle, and it’s decisions often un-appealable.

You can easily denounce kiddie porn.

Can you even know that there’s a watch list for keywords which gets updated regularly to identify new and emerging malignant behavior? Ideas which just don’t get play in forums?

I’m happy with my team, but if most of us were replaced by mods who had an agenda then it’s pretty much game over. Auto mod is a tool. The. Ore powerful it gets the greater the scope for it to be used in unhealthy ways.

And what’s the true effective result of auto mod ? A better idiot filter, and a reduction in work load.

Moderation just doesn’t scale enough to solve the problems of human nature. Automatic tools are too dumb to understand intent, and positively terrifying if they come close to figure it out. (All moderation tools are one step away from being weaponized to seek out dissent)

The future is bleaker. Once the obvious kiddie porn is sent back underground, those tools made to keep the peace are going to be used to “ensure future peace”.

The article makes a pretty compelling point that EV certs are worthless. Google and Apple seem to think that EV is worthless - that is why they are removing special treatment for them from their browsers. Many of the largest sites in the world that are the most appealing targets to phish have voted that they are worthless by not purchasing them.

> forcing people to use HTTPS to avoid scare tactic "Not Secure" warnings.

"Not Secure" is a literal description of the state of the connection. Its not secure. What should a browser say? I guess nothing because your site is so special that its users should be ok with having someone MITM the connection and inject who knows what into the page. Whether or not that is OK isn't your decision to make - its the right of your users to make that decision and saying "Not Secure" helps them. That you find that inconvenient for you is well ... inconvenient for _you_.

> HTTPS is far less helpful than something like EV that includes identity

The article makes a pretty compelling point that EV certs are worthless and do no better a job at providing security than regular certs.
