I think about this a lot in relation to my own startup experience.

Though I'd never claim to be remotely as talented as Jobs (and the evidence of that is borne out in my decidedly modest startup career success so far), I was the person in my team who filled the Jobs-like role of being a product+strategy lead alongside specialist programmers and designers.

I knew they were capable of brilliant things and I saw it as my role to push them to achieve their best, and sometimes I could be brutal with my words and their delivery.

In the 4-5 years since I stopped working with that team, I've done a huge amount of personal development/emotional healing work (which could be seen as a version of "ego dissolution" or "shadow integration" work), and I now look back on those days and think "man I was such a jerk to those guys".

And I feel that were I to lead a startup team again, I'd hope never to treat people like that, and be far more kind and nurturing to those I work with.

Yet we achieved some huge things in those days, and that company lives on, continuing to achieve great things, thanks in big part to the solid foundations we laid back then.

So whilst I'd never want to be an outright asshole to people, I'm unsure that you can get great outcomes while being nice to people all the time either. And I sure know that it's when I've been on the receiving end of uncomfortable truths delivered harshly that I've most clearly gotten the message that I needed to improve myself.

I find it hard to reconcile the fact that Jobs seemed to spend so much time studying Buddhism and practising meditation and other spiritual practices, presumably seeking emotional peace and balance within himself, yet was still such a tyrant as a company leader.

I often wonder whether it's even possible to build a company that makes products as good as Apple's, whilst being kinder and warmer to people than Jobs was.

I'm sure there's a healthy balance there somewhere, or at least I really hope there is, but I'm yet to figure out what it is.
5 years, from filing to market to making profit is really short. Maybe it works for simple parents but I'm pretty sure most true inventions (and smaller companies with somewhat less complicated patents) will not be able to profit properly from the patent that way.
You seem to assume HR is there for you ( it is not ).

Sooooo can you set up a meth lab, then add yourself to the list?
You are both wrong and missing the point, which is; they shouldn't be breaking down doors in the first place based off the shoddy info given, full fucking stop.

See the professionalism of this Arizona SWAT for an example https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=l4LzwZV6hFQ

I'm a former Marine who was trained in advanced CQB/CQC and have crosstrained all kinds of LEAs/LEOs and SWAT tends to be the very worst trained, undisciplined bunch of wannabe's this side of the equator. It actually became a joke in the shoot house how many former POGs who never saw combat and were naively gung-ho gear-queers made up the majority of the SWATs coming through. We had more trigger discipline in a fucking combat zone than these guys.

tldr; quit your bullshit
Isn't this already priced into the transaction costs, so that destructive pools (those mining empty blocks) are at a slight disadvantage over the lon run?
This URL referenced by CloudYeller is a much better story than the Ars one: https://www.wired.com/story/eric-swildens-uber-waymo-lawsuit...
I have actually reviewed this man's supposedly vigilante's submission to the USPTO and it is clear that this story is not what it seems. The document is a highly professional 95+ page document of complex legal argumentation that only a law firm with a small team of lawyers with a lot of prior experience doing this could have put together. It contains lots of lawyer speak and contemporary argumentation that a lay person would simple not have knowledge of. As much as people are keen to believe the vigilante narrative, there is zero chance that is what happened here. Instead, he was used as a 'strawman' by a company with much deeper pockets to attack Waymo's key patent. I estimate that this actually cost around $100k to prepare and file.
The Federal Government is more humane than the independent states' well armed militias. The Federal Government exists in a cohesive world that requires cooperation. The States are exempt from that, exempt from actual challenges to their sovereignty because the Federal Government will protect them, and they are also exempt from oversight from the Federal Government as long as they pass their own laws to justify their egregious behavior.
If I remember correctly it was mainly scraped LinkedIn data and then they were getting emails either from LinkedIn or some other source and pairing them with the profiles (used their product approx 1yr ago so may have changed). Don't think those random LinkedIn users ever opted into it but maybe there was something in the LinkedIn terms that allowed 3rd parties to do that (or not). But I do remember after I moved to the EU and tried to sign up for Apollo/Zen Prospect for a new venture they said they wouldn't sell me the service because I was in Germany

All patents are BS.
Since when calling dog shit "dog shit" is "inappropriate language". People these days are all winners and can't face the reality it seems.

Also he asks what is the right way to react? To agree or to disagree. :)))) I just can't stop laughing. In his narrow mind these are the only options and they are both wrong! A true engineer will just ask why? and then shut up and listen. But these days everybody has an opinion. My opinion is that Earth is flat. There you go.
It depends on what "it" refers to. If "it" refers to no one except Durachinsky knowing how it spread, then yes, "it" was solved by the FBI a long time ago. If "it" refers to no one outside the FBI and Durachinsky knowing how it spread, then "it" was solved earlier "today" by Wardle.
Perhaps thats where the $6000 of his own money was spent, having a lawyer/lawyer friend edit his document into legal speak?
It's sad that Google has become part of the problem rather than the solution.

So much for "Do no Evil".
It does look that way but then if that's the case why didn't anybody at Uber point that out during the lawsuit? From the article:

>The patent describes how a laser diode can be configured to emit pulses of laser light using a circuit that includes an inductor and a gallium nitride transistor. That chance discovery helped spark a lawsuit in which Waymo accused Uber of patent infringement and of using lidar secrets supposedly stolen by engineer Anthony Levandowski.

>In August 2017, Uber agreed to redesign its Fuji lidar not to infringe the 936 patent.

If "some guy" with $6000 lying around could overturn most of the patent why couldn't Uber? That's the part that baffles me.
Customizing TOP command
What if it is just lack of self-control while the rest of us is expected be able to keep our emotions in control. Seriously. Had I unleashed like that, I would be seen as hysterical.

And also, what if letting someone unleash on you is not a sign of strength, but simply sign of being weaker not being stand up for yourself

And also, what if someone need to be yelled at to do good work does not make him good engineer, really.

And also, what if long term crunch is ineffective and short term overtime should not require yelling.

What if it is possible to build large company while not being perfect and it is the "not perfect" thing about job.
I wish they would use login.gov which has sane requirements and allows code generator 2FA instead of SMS.

I don't see that this solves any problem in the interview process.

This would just incentivize people who aren't going to take the job to apply. People would specifically apply to interviews just for the money with no intention of ever taking it. There would probably even be people who are wholly unqualified who would study and fake resumes etc just to make money from turning up.

On the other hand, I do believe that doing any work after an interview should be compensated in some way, even more so if they plan to actually use the work product for something. Travel to/from an interview should also be compensated in my opinion.
Must be careful with this attitude so that you don't end up with Stockholm syndrome.

Anger actually works. In the short run, at least. Maybe in the long run too.

Humans are actually perfectly capable of dealing with natural human-to-human interactions that aren't programmed by arbiters of empathy. This is because the species was the product of evolution, if not intelligently designed.
Awesome!! So the Go code intelligence is now free for single devs who are self hosting?
...with R&D price tags attached. Then everyone who uses something a court considered similar must pay his contribution to the price of the oldest patent involved.
It matters. Of all possible patents to invalidate, why this one?

Uber - one of the world's most valuable private companies, doesn't need help with patent law.
Lenovo could be the first company to launch a foldable smartphone in October
So, the last year, Waymo claimed that Uber infringe this patent and Uber claimed they redesign it so it didn't infringe the patent now.

And then, the same patent is concluded to be "impossible" and "magic".

What kind of nonsense is this? How do you use or redesign to avoid using the impossible magic tech?
Like QML from Qt?
On this one, they may have some ground. A former engineer allegedly walked out with designs, and pleaded the fifth amendment when asked to testify in court.
>London, New York City, Hong Kong, etc.

These cities were successful despite high rent prices, not because of. Also, expensive rents are kind of a recent thing, tenement housing existed for a long time and workers were able to afford to live there and have decent lives / weren't as financially desperate as the working class is now. It's not coincidental that these cities have become playgrounds for the mega rich and rentiers.

Create React App is not a framework, it is more similar to a scaffolding system that sets up a group of tools and processes. You can upgrade React normally without issue.

The equivalent to what you suggest would be to autogenerate some files with a tool, modify the location and structure or those by hand and then expect the tool to be able to modify then again seamlessly.

Wow, works in excel 2016 but i assume our GP/microsofts common sense flags a warning: "Remote data not accessible: To access this data Exel needs to start another application. Some legitimate applications on your computer could be used maliciously to spread viruses or damage your computer. Only click Yes if you trust the source of this workbook and you want to let the workbook start the application. Start application 'mspaint.exe'?"

At this point i am sure 50% of normal endusers would have stopped reading and just clicked Yes anyway. I also assume the command executed could have been a registry hack to disable this warning, allowing several more commands to be ran without popping this warning. Crazy stuff, but fun morning exercise.
One reason for calls that get instantly disconnected is that when these systems will call up, say, 10 people at a time, 8 won't answer, so there's no reason to tie up 10 operators waiting for someone to answer. So they don't connect you to an operator until you actually pick up the phone/interact. But if they miscalculated and 4 people answered, they don't have enough operators and they just hang up.
I did this to my bank. They called me, I told them that I'll not talk to them as I can't identify them and that I'll call them back in standard number. Bank was really not prepared for this. They blocked my card (call was about suspicious transaction that was ok) and the transaction. I called to unblock transaction, but card remained blocked. So I had to call again.

It all took precious time, they really should anticipate this more.

I hope nobody has to be jerk for it to happen, but I'm convinced getting your ego out of your engineering is essential for great success.

Care about how well things works, not what part was your idea!!

Saying that is easy. When someone says the part you made is crap is the time to practice it.
> wonder how a normal person won't get shot because they make some weird movement.

They do all the time. I saw a video where American police were yelling confusing instructions at a drunk guy clearly trying to do what they ask but unable to work out what they want and when he fell over they opened fire at him because he made a quick movement.

But its almost justified. I have seen videos where someone moves their arm just a bit and the police start shooting instantly before I even know what has happened and a gun falls out of the dead targets pocket.

Thats just what happens when any random stranger could be carrying a gun. Its almost unheard of for someone to be wrongly shot by police in Australia (Probably has happened but its no where near like America)
Too bad I wasn't your client, you'd have experienced one. :)

I owned a business that was randomly selected for an NRP audit a few years back. Spent 35 grand on CPAs and defense. After 4 months of an "up to the elbow" exam of our books, received this from the IRS:

"After our audit, we are making the following changes to your return:

"

...that was it. Nothing. No changes. Not even embarrassment or "lol just doing my job, them's the breaks kid" attitude. A total goat rodeo, the entire process. Imagine having to justify every cent on the books in OR out -- for a $2MM revenue business -- 3 years after the return was filed. Seriously impossible. Worse, just before the above letter, we were offered a settlement offer from the IRS for $20K -- to make them just go away. We declined.
ISPs are the very opposite of local, as the only reason I have an ISP is to deliver bits from the rest of the world. Of course, the FCC doesn't seem to understand that...

I don't like this. It must be slow and bloated because it is a DOM written in JS rather than native optimized DOM implementation. And why would anyone need that?

It literally says in the article that they will not ignore calls to locations on the list and they will only keep the information in mind when responding.
I don't have an ISP to talk to the ISP's server, I have an ISP to talk to the global internet, so it's very much not local...
ROM space is very tight for this release on account of the much larger mass storage drivers (SCSI, IDE) and the integrated OCS/ECS/AGA graphics.library.

Commodore was already pushing the limits for the 1994 Kickstart 3.1 in the Amiga 1200 ROM, and it only got worse. The Amiga 4000T ROM would no longer contain workbench.library either (in 1994) because the graphics.library and the SCSI driver took up so much room.

There is no room for workbench.library and icon.library in the 512 KB 3.1.4 ROM. Going back to a previous set of workbench.library/icon.library versions is not an option because these do not fit either.

1 MB ROMs are not viable solution at this point. Only a select few models support these, and the point was to make the 3.1.4 update available to all desktop systems.

Besides, a 1 MB ROM would require retooling of the build process for the operating system, which we did not attempt. The last 1 MB ROMs were built in 1994 (for the CD32) and very little documentation survives on how this is done, and how the ROM images need to be prepared.

We were already quite busy with the desktop systems and chose not to spend the time on research and QA work necessary for the 1 MB ROM build.
But this will consume CPU and RAM and will make the page user is browsing work slower. Especially for users with low-end hardware.

If you use server-side rendering (for example, if you use PHP on your server) then you won't need all of this and pages will load instantly without any complicated preloading.
You can totally do a MOOC in any of those things and put it on your CV
Thanks! I looked it up and the rewriting of titles preceded prop 8, though the prop 8 folks litigated furiously (amusingly they claimed the new title was "inflammatory" when it was actually text taken from the question).

I remember people being confused about the polarity of the vote, but then again I remembered incorrectly that the title approval had been because of prop 8 so who knows.
It sounded like there is only 1 person the class action. Is it possible to have a class action with only 1 person? Sorry, I don't know the laws very well.
For Windows, we use FreeMem & RamBooster :D

In both cases, the language you are using does not describe what you really mean. In the first instance: "I am experiencing a hallucination of rain, but it is not raining". In the second "The fictional character Santa Claus is said to live at the north pole. I do not believe Santa Claus is real".

In both instances, precision prevents you from conflating two classes of belief.

From your own perspective, it is quite impossible to state "I believe it is raining. It is not raining." This all seems to hinge on the issue of perspective. Very interesting stuff. Grateful to the "Herodotus38" for explaining it; I couldn't grok it from the article.

I wonder if someone could extend this to put mathematical proofs in applied maths on a better footing.
I would be concerned with secondary effects of aging on viability of gametes and chances of exotic conditions - doing this over any large span of generations would probably (temporarily?) yield a much higher mortality rate until we figured out the best ratio of increased parent lifespan to increased child mortality.
Makes me wonder how many patents are unrightfully granted.
Tough.

The nominal goal of a patent is to encourage innovation--not rent seeking.

And, if you can't monetize the patent within 5 years then maybe the patent really isn't that important or you really don't know how to implement the thing in the patent. That suggests that maybe you shouldn't be granted the patent in the first place.

Making patent terms short also has the upside that the big guys will want stricter review of patents rather than the current mess of almost universal approvals. After the big guys get burned a few times by somebody patenting something that can't actually be implemented but causes disclosure and burns up the clock on the patent they were going to file on their current product development, they will start screaming for real patent review processes.
(Author here) I've been thinking of renaming it. Maybe next release.
I don’t believe I’m about to do this, but since this was in direct response to my post...

I don’t think the grandparent post was personally rude. If times were different that would be a completely reasonable suggestion.

I would have no problem introducing myself at work, at a social event, etc. But, there is something so visceral and threatening to some people who are use to their neighborhoods being a homogeneous environment that they take people not like them moving in as a threat. If you haven’t seen your child grow up from being the cute adorable child to being seen as a threat by society just because of his color, a person can’t understand.

Yes, this off topic, but I’m really not trying to get on a soap box. I just wanted to defend his post.

This will be my last post in this thread.
I used to care, but I appreciate how Apple doesn't just cram everyone onto a PCB just because it is possible.

Android phones consistently have features that won't be seen on Apple devices for 2-5 years, or never. When Apple announces something as if it is new, what they are announcing is a new integration into an ecosystem.

Iphone XS' image format will be usable, editable and parseable in OSX's default photo viewer.

It will inherit the live photo technology.

It will be transferrable without internet in short range wireless tech that actually works reliably and without any additional apps.

Thats what Apple announces when they don't pay homage to prior implementations of an existing technology.
