> Yet Apple makes money from apps that collect data, made by developers.

If an app is free, but makes its money through data collection, then no, Apple doesn't make money off of it.

If they charge for the app, and then do data collection, then yes, Apple makes money off of the initial app purchase, but not off of the data collection.
Right. Botchan (1906) (坊っちゃん 明治 三十九年) That was and probably still is a popular book, moreso at the time of its release when virtually all behavior was rigid and prescribed and you were expected to keep your thoughts to yourself and never volunteer them. There's even an .epub of Botchan on Project Gutenberg and aozora. As a Japanese friend who grew up in Japan observed, Botchan was like an alter ego. You know exactly what he is thinking, he had a short fuse, and talked with his fists with little regard as to how his actions were construed. Things at times which you would want to do yourself but wouldn't or couldn't. But like an Aesop's fable, ethics and morality win in the end.

"Probably most importantly, I learned that the glorification of the startup lifestyle is a lie perpetuated by people seeking to make money from it at all levels."

This I would say is my main learning point. My first startup failed because of inexperience and team implosion following incapability of generating revenue fast enough on one side, and attract favorable investment on the other. Failure could have been lighter on both me and the other members of the team, was it not for a self-immolation mindset probably driven by glorification of "startup lifestyle". Things fail. Most of the time. Assume failure. Optimize for resiliency. Never expect success as the natural outcome, but rather consider it will come collaterally to continuous reaction to ugly realities, and damn slowly. You can stumble upon a rocket ship, but it is not how businesses usually get to come to life.

How could having every business and school change their hours twice a year as they please be easier than just agreeing on couple of dates and switching everything? Instead of one time zone every thousand miles or so, you're talking about effectively having several time zones per block. That doesn't sound sane to me.

I wrote a great software library for specific web development problems back in the dotcom boom.

I learned a few things, much of you hear already but is worth repeating :

* The MVP thing is real. I had a competitor that regularly released simple things that barely worked - while I continued to polished my project. By the time I'd finished the competitors stuff was all over the internet few a year or two and no one was really interested in my product. Plus by then the dotcom boom was pretty much starting to bust - I was way too late.

* Developing software is the easy part. I figured when I was done people would be lining up which is of course naive. Selling and support is harder and takes more time and effort than writing code.

* Writing software for developers sucks. No one wants to pay for anything as there is usually a cheaper way of doing it. The exceptions being big firms that really don't like small independents. Its better to write software to solve real problems - not software problems.

Take care that your current employer has no claim on your idea -- avoid any business formation steps that could be dated as prior to your exit.
I’m a big fan of “Mistaking directing for leading” here. So often I see new leaders mistake their new responsibility for results with a need to be in charge of every decision. There’s a big difference between leading and simply being in charge. Don’t base your own habits on the poor management styles you’ve seen in the past.

For what its worth, the relationship between cities and their state is very different than the relationship between the states and the federal government. There has historically been a concept referred to as dual-federalism which has evolved into cooperative federalism to describe this relationship. This is in contrast to the creation of cities and towns, which are entirely creatures of the state governments.

That said, I do agree the regulation of DST definitely falls under the weights and measures clause. We can't have Shelbyville continue to operate on metric time, we here in Springfield gave up on that years ago. One might even be able to successfully argue an interstate commerce argument on standardizations of timekeeping.
I believe you have to have good taste and take it from there. [1]

[1] Ira Glass quote:
> Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn’t have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I’ve ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take awhile. You’ve just gotta fight your way through.
Why shouldn't a startup fuck with the cartels?
Right, I'll explain that to my kids school then:

"Hi, our family's switched from observing the clock, like everyone else in school, to operating on a schedule that is in rhythm with the ebb and flow of sunrise through the year. From now on, we'd like our kids' school attendance and lesson times to start and finish on a solar timescale. Perhaps a separate buzzer tone could be set up to convenience any kids who will be running their day according to the sun. We do understand the challenge to teachers in accomodating this natural schedule alongside other students who stick with the more familiar clock-based one, but hey - the sunlight is the convention we follow."

I mean I live in quite a hippy place but that just ain't gonna fly.
He hinted during QA it was 5% of BFR development costs, and Elon said a "material" percentage, which for expense reporting usually means >= 5%. Dev costs were said to be $5billion, so that would be $250,000,000.

You can drive in a torrential downpour. Short of actual flooding or the creation of large puddles, rain isn't all that bad of a driving condition. Be sure not to drive past the limits of visibility and increase follow distances from 2-3 to 5 seconds and you're good. Even motorcycle races are held in the rain: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tv4_425K8r4
similar here - from US, had a few trips to russia and china over a few years. never told the bank. went over there, used my cards, no issues, ever.

came back home. no issues.

bought $12 from a merchant in sweden - a merchant I'd purchased the exact service from multiple times before - entire account locked for 'fraudulent activity'. Checks bounced, payments blocked, etc. Annoying as shit. Took a couple days to sort out (happened on a friday afternoon, of course). They refunded all charges, but... damn. I think things are better now (this was... 2014 IIRC).
A Greater Hand than math was involved.
We launched our startup right at the end of the dotcom boom. We were trying to do meta-searches against Alta Vista (mostly) and a few other, doing what was a very primitive network search similar to what FB does, only specialized to things like scientific papers. The first product was trying to help academics and scientists find conferences to attend based on their common interests.

But before we got very far, the dotcom bust hit and investor cash dried up. My partner went back to his day job, and I went back and finished my degree.

Lessons learned: market fluctuations can and will kill you. Have an exit strategy. Don't rely on a single coder (me, in this case) especially one who is young and immature. But definitely do it, you won't regret it.

Hardest pill to swallow, but it's mostly true. The old adage, "If you want something done right, do it yourself" is a subversive kind of fallacy, because it's half correct. Yes, you could probably get it done better and sooner, but every minute you spend doing it yourself could have been invested in empowering your team.
Thousand times yes.

About the A10 chip is when Apple started pushing ahead of Snapdragon equivalents. Now with the A12 the difference is massive especially as it includes a lot of capabilities directly benefiting machine learning use cases. Which aren't included in any benchmark that I know of.

I would recommend Kafka on the Shore if you liked Norwegian Wood. Both are less “bizarre”. On the more bizarre end of the spectrum I would say 1Q84 or Hardboiled Wonderland and the End of the World.
Stability and traction control is not the same as a self driving car. Keeping wheels from locking, and keeping cars from sliding is largely a solved problem.

I think the previous poster was more about referencing recognition of patches of ice ahead and slowing down preemptively. This is a big issue in places with bridges, since ice can form on bridges but not the rest of the roads (since bridges aren't kept warm by the earth, the dirt under most roads acts like a heat battery). Also expecting when other drivers will slide. I've actually witnessed people getting, how would you put this, reverse-rear-ended by drivers trying to go up a hill and then sliding back down.
I would buy that except that they do a massive amount of analysis to make sure they aren't cutting diversity.

They need to do the same sort of analysis to include age and make sure there isn't a bias towards older workers.
In those conditions maybe, problem is where is the road.. or lane. There are no markings of any kind when you have snow on the road. No marking you need to estimate where lanes are from what is near road and what other cars are doing. Exponentially harder problem
Parabolic and hyperbolic orbits are still orbits.
I would recommend 1Q84. It has the same bizarreness but not cyberpunky.

Yes it is mostly true if you are going up the career ladder all the way to executive level.

However I've seen a bunch of people hit middle-management then stop and its a really vulnerable place if you're looking for a new job. I think its really important to be able to keep some coding in new technologies as they become popular.

Perhaps the best is to work with your developers code - write integration tests, evaluate checkins, research new tools.

I took the approach of bolting a second compiler on top of Hugo(a custom Python script) to get the extra things I wanted in Hugo.

It still took a while, but I did get to leverage the parts of Hugo that already work well.

I don't think there's much in the way of winning either way, since now I have a Build Process.
I'm not so sure that's true. Or, maybe, "that's user error" is what works because it seems like it's far too easy to convince users to blame themselves.
You can't easily interlink torrents in way that torrent clients could understand -- torrents are mostly just packages of data, not made to be a web.

On your point about the gateway -- I've co-maintained the ipfs.io gateway for the last 3 years and my perspective on its importance is the upgrade path from the existing systems. When developing and deploying new protocols, you need to onboard both users and applications/websites, and the most effective way to do so is seamless interoperability between old-web and new-web. I would imagine it tricky to get any critical mass of adoption if everyone has to choose either old-web or new-web.
But if snow occludes lane markings, which is what the parent was discussing, then no amount of sensing helps you see them, right?

(You can have a map with lane markings and localize on that map, though)
Or, just change the clocks twice a year. Sounds like you are advocating the same end result (one-hour shift twice a year to preserve afternoon daylight time), but simply abolishing the current implementation. The present implementation is well understood, and most importantly standardized and automated at scale. Anything else would require massive effort to switch toward, so can you explain why it is a net improvement to spend that effort?
Best? Who is better, Yo Yo Ma or Wayne Shorter? Bob Dylan or Paul Mcartney or Stevie Wonder? Or Bjork?

Sorry for getting snippy, but my Point is, art, especially of all things, while it certainly has its quantifiable aspects, is a domain where talking about “absolute best” and “world famous” is not very constructive or useful, imho.
This is lunacy on a grand scale!

Perhaps in terms of absolute expenditures, but unlikely anything like it in terms of bang for the buck.
It is an orbit. They're only making one orbit on a free return trajectory, but it's still an orbit.
It is interesting that at no point do you actually deny the fact that this so called "evolution" is entirely ideological.

Your illogical and fallacious attempt to gaslight rational pattern recognition, with regard to the obvious ideological basis of these "codes of conduct" brigades, is defeated by the fact that some people do quite accurately and consistently see threats only when and where they appear, and often when other people do not, with full control of their rational faculty.

Perhaps such an issue seems trivial to most, or perhaps that's just how it is designed. Maybe this represents yet another incremental encroachment of a much larger and multifaceted threat that is intentionally difficult to understand?

There is also the relevant idea that those who represent more covert threats, would in fact desire to remain covert for as long as possible in order to further their malicious agenda. Since the continued existence of this agenda and its proponents depends entirely on deniability and ignorance, they will often lie and manipulate in order to ensure doubt and ignorance remains.

Organizations which ignore such astute, truthful observers while ignoring the existence of threats of such a deceitful nature certainly do not stay healthy for long.

>no rational basis for their paranoia (or even historical examples)

I mean you are really, really, really playing dumb here. The persistent denial is almost unbelievable, but it really shows a cowardice and fear of exposure that says more about the truth of this ideology than anything else I could say.
This time they are! First thing I thought of too. Almost brought me to tears when I read what they were doing.
"Space 1999" was one of my favourite TV series when growing up. I looked up at the moon for a long while on September 13th 1999 and wondered what the earth would be like if it was missing on the 14th...

Adddendum: I enjoyed the fact that the props used were not traditionally sleek and glossy like most other sci-fi series. The Eagle Transporters were utilitarian and multi purpose. The moon buggies they used similarly so. The space suits seemed to be more modern, yet, true representations of those used by the first moon walkers. etc.
Fine to do this but unlikely to matter and don’t let not being sure about this stop you for even a second
The questioner asked "is it more or less than 5%" -- I don't think they were confirming 5%, just repeating the number back (and Musk refused to say anything about the percentage at all).
I realize this isn't really the main point of the article, but it's something I've been thinking about a lot recently: Can someone explain to me why I should want to become good at management? I think most people on here (but sadly few company structures) would agree that engineering and engineering management are two nearly orthogonal skillsets, but for some reason we insist on "promoting" people who are good at the former into positions that require the latter.

As someone with about five years of experience as a professional software engineer, I'm really still looking to level up my IC chops, along with a healthy dose of mentorship (mentoring interns or new hires on my team) and what I'd call "tech leadership" (advising on engineering reviews, making technical decisions about how to best build things). I would basically worry about stunting my development as an engineer if I switched to focusing on management, and I'm not even convinced my role models for career development are really in primarily "managerial" roles (I'm thinking of both famously very good backend devs both at my company and at the big SV companies).

Separately, I have relatively little interest in being in a role where my output is judged as the output of a team of people who aren't me. I get that that's the best way to judge managers, and that managers do very valuable intangible things in unblocking their team, but I'm skeptical that I'd be able to feel satisfied by this. If anything, it kind of feels random: at an equivalent level of my unblocking the team and being a good manager, if I have an amazing 10x engineer on my team then the output is just going to be higher than if I have an average engineer. So in less clear-cut cases, how can I tell if I just did a good job at unblocking or if my engineers are really good? (This is not to say that I don't feel satisfied doing mentorship-style things or architectural advising-style things, but that feels separate to me. I think I prefer empowering other engineers by leveraging knowledge and writing good platforms/tools/APIs rather than doing the organizational empowering thing).

I write all these things, because it really seems like a foregone conclusion of both this article and the industry as a whole that an engineer will eventually become a manager. Is that what I most likely have to look forward to in my career if I wind up working at the well-established/mature companies?

EDIT: I'd also just appreciate being told if I'm thinking about everything entirely wrong or something here.

EDIT2: This also isn't to knock people who _do_ enjoy doing these things, but it's not for me and I imagine it's not definitionally for every good engineer.

Unrelated to the above, point 8 feels a little bit in contradiction to point 1. How does one keep learning their craft without direct experience?
