I'm very curious to learn more about what kind of stake the investors get in these bootstrapped companies. For these types of companies I always thought it'd be better if investors operated more like a high risk-taking bank, just putting money in and getting money back with no equity involved. The investors can potentially lose all their money so it's not a loan, but if the company is successful the investor will be getting a 2-3x return paid back to them as interest, only payable if the company is achieving a certain level of profitability, e.g. 20+ employees.
I was still somewhat impressed exactly by the HoloLenses very fast (and quite accurate) tracking. I think it was the absolutely right trade-off.
Thanks for sharing your experience. Specific information about the downsides of this path is very valuable for me (and others, I guess).
There appear to be two holes knocked in the wall, spaced about the right distance to be made by the two sets of wheels. I'm not surprised that the wheels are strong enough to knock a few bricks over & still work fine.

I also think the wall is lower than the ILS gear, so probably that is what made the gash in the belly of the plane. Amazed that nothing serious was cut.

I cannot believe the pilots were completely unaware, I mean just reaching the end of the runway without having pulled up must be a never-in-your-career kind of scary moment.
"Their website was a nightmare to book on"

I book 90% of my flights on Vayama, so no problem here.
I once decided to book direct only on airline websites to make a possible ticket change easier and cheaper. The one time I tried it I had serious trouble. VPN blocked by airline, based in China, google captcha required which requires a VPN etc. I tried the booking process 4 times until I bought a ticket on Vayama. Later got an email from the airline ("your ticket got issued") so I ended up with two tickets for the same flight. I emailed them and they reimbursed the money. It was Sri Lanka airlines.
you could go fully high-level and use a low code application platform that gives you regulatory compliance(HIPPA for US for example):

There are others of course.
More pages? 0.00025/page seems okay, tbh. You'd already be at 10ct for a 400 page document, but consider what people spend on printing. I think the price can probably be justified for many.
Farming first leads to food surplus, but also to a food supply that occasionally collapses without alternatives. It also leads to large hierarchical society structures and problems around ownership of land/resources, which basically is what war is about.
I'm super confused. In EU all airlines use sizers before the gate, if whatever you want to bring on board doesn't fit into the sizer(and the bag you posted definitely wouldn't) it has to be checked in at a heavy fee. Do US airlines just don't care what you bring in board with you?
Yes. The Uber Elevare white paper looks at this issue, and the stylised numbers are:

Car: 1 mile/kWh

Flying car: 2 mile/kWh

Electric car: 3 mile/kWh

(Electric engines are much more efficient than combustion engines.)

So, it’s not too bad, plus ground based vehicles (according to the same study) have to drive on average 1.4 miles for 1 mile distance “as the crow flies”.

However, the numbers above are for fixed wing flight, as far as I can tell. Drone-like hovering flight is less efficient.

Still, I think that’s not the main problem. Regulation, battery specific energy, ATC are bigger hurdles.

I remember one of the first hololens trailers featured someone trying to fix their own sink plumbing, and an expert skyping in and highlighting exactly what to do.

Making AR even slightly accessible is going to drastically change all of the trade skill industries. Any kind of simple job with something like plumbing, electrician, or car problems, you could call up a remote expert (or knowledgable friend/relative) and have them guide you through the job without forcing them to drive to your house. This would probably lead to training AIs to help with those same simple jobs, and eventually more complicated ones, but probably not for a good many years(?).

Maybe it's a lot easier said than done, but I feel like there are tons of more physical "remote work" opportunities that Magic Leap can open up, and they're not focusing on them nearly enough. Microsoft is pushing hard with using the hololens in industrial environments for training or collaborating, but even for just personal use, I could see myself buying AR goggles if it made learning basic handyman chores around the house easier to get started with, and hopefully feel less like a chore.
I'm just starting out so I'm really curious how long the breaks you took between jobs were, and if you had the next job lined up before you took your break?

Also off topic but what was it like working for non-profits, and what sort of work did you do?
That's not true, as long as the battery is installed inside the device. You only can't check in spare batteries - they have to go in your hand luggage.
It is sort of the job version of "All the good ones are married." A currently employed individual with talent and a great job is a highly desirable candidate. Everyone else is, at best, a bit suspicious.

However, how you present that info can make a difference.
I've flown literally hundreds of times in my life and with a single exception of a holiday flight with TUI, I have never ever been on a flight where a checked bag was included. Literally never.
I like the idea. Maybe I'm biased because I was only on the other side of the deal, but I feel like you'd have a better chance of getting business going after the job givers. We're usually more willing to spend money. The biggest fear when contracting out a job is you'll waste money for nothing.

And btw., not important but it 404s without a trailing slash.
>In the face of extreme anxiety, I literally become stupid.

You don't need to experience "extreme anxiety", or even have a diagnosis, to experience this effect. Most people that are just learning how to drive a car will at some point experience how acute stress causes you to fail even the most basic tasks, things you would never predict that you would fail doing before you actually do. When I was learning how to drive, I repeatedly forgot checking the rear view mirror before switching lanes (even though I knew this was extremely important), because I was so focused on manual gear shifting. I would switch to the wrong gear or forget turning the turn indicator off, because my stressed mind would filter out the noise of the indicator blinking.

Some even believe that the "experience of driving" in itself is detrimental, and that "each exposure elicits an acute stress response, and that repeated exposures may act as a chronic stressor".[1]

It could easily not drop prices in the bottom rungs. SO long as they are cheaper than the average price of apartments, they are still good to offer. They can get a little closer to average price and still be competitive.
I'm just as surprised that in this whole article the word "Fuchsia" appeared exactly a single time (and that occurrence was in parentheses).

Couldn't the primary reason be just that? They are currently maintaining three distinct OS stacks - Android, Chrome OS and now Fuchsia - and there have been numerous messages in the past that they would likely to unify them.

So my guess is they either want to de-emphasize Android to not have the OS fragmentation leak into marketing or they really plan to drop Android even as a technical foundation at some point.

Cloc – Count the Lines of Source Code in Many Programming Languages
Google hires the smartest software engineers in the world.

The problem with the SMARTEST software engineers is they are incapable of distinguishing between good and bad code. They're fantastic at writing EFFICIENT code, certainly, but not code that is comprehensible by others - all code is equally comprehensible.

Am I trolling? Slightly. I am exaggerating a little bit. Obviously all engineers care about readability/maintainability to a degree. But I definitely have noted a correlation during my career between super intelligent engineers and an over-emphasis on succinctness over readability. And when provided code review feedback, they are genuinely confused "why would your version be be better? Mine is perfectly understandable"

No, such detailed analysis of the way the actual bacteria grow is just a distraction. His point is that the "steady growth" is not sustainable. Whereas by analyzing how the actual bacteria behaves, we can easily see, as you say, that the "steady growth" in nature is, unsurprisingly, not sustainable.

And the "thinking" bacteria is of course not what actually exists, it's a way to try to let the listener compare that inevitability (the end of the "growth" phase) with the state of the human society and the point of view of the individual.

> Politicians don't, they just argue with it. Because if people demand more free stuff and lower taxes, the only way to get reelected is to argue that a much better future is just around the corner and borrow the money. That never happens, of course, but thanks to inflation, anything expressed in money looks as if did indeed grow exponentially, and everybody got their free lunch, and taxes didn't get raised, but everybody is poorer for it somehow anyway.

What is currently happening in the world is not coming out of the inflation, but from the "steady growth" in the use of the natural resources. Which are finite. Once it gets really tighter with the resources, it will really get ugly and no "inflation" will be able to hide that fact. There will be less of the actually available "stuff" and the "stuff" will be more expensive. Such basic "stuff" as "food."

Think about it: "we managed to increase the agricultural output so predictions of the increased hunger in the world didn't come true" etc. But how? Simply by spending more hydrocarbon-stored energy to produce the food. Only: 1) the stored hydrocarbon energy resources are limited. 2) We'll most probably irreversibly destroy the atmosphere balance as we know it even before we use up all the stored hydrocarbons. And the other effects are also easy to imagine. "Steady growth" is simply not sustainable.

+1000, unfortunately for usenet now we have a problem: fast majority of servers are down... In the past ANY ISP, universities, many companies offer nntp server, now we have only very, very few...

Actual trend is suppress anything free and not fully controllable: usenet is decentralized and no one can really own it so it's pushed as much as possible to the oblivion, offering colorful and limited substitute from StackExchange to Reddit passing through HN and /., same for mail, they are not distributed but still decentralized enough to be out of complete control, so here came webmails just to avoid people keep their messages locally and paving the way to new "email substitute" that are web-only, fully centralized etc, Slack, Google wave etc are all tentative to bury emails in the past. Webcrap is the same, instead of a WWW of hypertexts. Push of mobile instead of PCs is the same.

Also with these kind of "modern" solution we as clients can't really discuss, try HN, try Disqus we do not really have control and voice, we are only data producer to be milked.

I shipped 2 projects that I feel are highly polished. Been almost 3 months in the job market cuz i have since ran low on funds. Being in Vancouver it's just extra tough. The Unicorns doesn't care one bit of your side projects. The smaller guys just doesn't have the resource to relocate. Let alone getting in the same room with them for interviews (aka. fly you over).

The article is very clear for pilots and people with knowledge in aircraft industry, it is meant for them. ILS, ADS-B, stuff that is basic domain knowledge.

The Zen of Python clearly states:

There should be one-- and preferably only one --obvious way to do it.

I think that "obvious" is the key word here -- it says nothing about the non-obvious ways, nor about which ones are better.

The problem here is not with Python itself, but with people looking for a silver bullet which will solve all their problems. In Python, this is presently very obvious with async programming, and people insisting on using it for everything; however, async is useful for only a certain subset of problems one might encounter (and in a few cases it's incredibly useful) while in most situations it adds avoidable complexity. However, this approach is definitely not limited to Python, and every language has its own examples (classes vs prototypes in Javascript is one example).

My advice is: use what you're comfortable with; don't be afraid of learning new techniques, but don't feel obligated to use them at all costs; ignore the Kool Kidz™ pushing fads.

This is a terribly muddled metaphor.
I think it is not all lost. The projects you have worked on shows your ability to design and build something from sctrach. It shows your ability to deliver and see something from start to finish also all the technical experience you've gained. I think it is only a matter of time until someone sees that you gain employment. If they don't it's their loss.

I guess the only thing that can work against you is your ability to work as a team and interact to achieve best results through communication. Something that a company should be willing invest.
I feel that if AR finally gets to work in form of glasses, it'll have a bifurcated market - one will be entertainment for masses, the second one will be support tool for things like manufacturing. Which is kind of sad, because genpops will get toys, and the tools will go to corps. But I guess that's supply and demand. I just hope the entertainment glasses will be open enough to support a cottage industry of small software shops & open source coders doing tools for individual productivity.

Now I hope one day we'll get AR contact lenses or some other form of inconspicuous AR. I'd love to have the ability to switch it on and do some compute at a whim, without fumbling with special glasses, and having to mind the social situation in which I'm in.

As for Magic Leap - I get that AR is hard, but this level of hype is inexcusable. They're burning through general interest in the field and trust towards everyone working in it for sake of some quick buck. The sooner they get forced to realign with reality, the better.

They had to expend the fuel as dumping is not always an option, when you have a tail strike you don't take risks at landing, consuming the fuel to reduce weight and minimize the risk of fire is a basic option.
Not sure about authoritarianism leading to violation of human rights. I'll give you an example, I was raised with what I might say a pretty authoritarian family. Without it, I could've been lost doing drugs or similar because of my "freedom". Not that they took it all away, I can still go out doing things, but when I do something bad or is deemed to be, I get scolded.
A pet peeve of mine, but: "bloat" is such empty criticism. It's just repeating that one doesn't care for something, e.g. there are people who claim a tab bar in the browser is bloat and is not related to surfing the web. When people mention bloat, that usually comes down to wanting to inflate the importance of their criticism.

So in this case, the criticism comes down to: I don't like Pocket, and it's centralised. Which I don't think is very strong; the exact same point could be made about Firefox Sync: "they're pushing a bloated built-in centralised service that is very difficult to turn off entirely". Technically true, but really not a compelling argument to remove it or to make it easy to remove all mentions of Firefox Sync from the interface.

Thanks to the author for this piece, it was a nice and inspiring reading.

I cannot help but feel related to the author himself. My career, short in tech terms (2+ years at current job, similar durarion at previous job) has reached a stagnant phase, where motivation and professional growth almost do not exist.

As a consequence I'm thinking of switching jobs, but have no idea where should I aim for, for what kind of role and industry I would like to work for...Right now I'm lost regarding jobs lookup.

Maybe I should take a sabbatical period to think things over, but it's quite a leap forward, mostly economically.

Is your goal to get people to stop using drugs, no matter what? Because we've seen how well that's worked in the U.S.

If they're solving all the other problems in these addict's lives - if they're able to be functioning members of society - isn't that enough? Why would you upset all that progress by making stopping drugs priority #1?
