Or they have a single slide deck for many occasions and sometimes overestimate the audience. I've seen this a lot (as an overestimated student) in my first year of grad school -- these were all budding researchers, right?

Generally in life I tend to overestimate people's technical level -- maybe not of computers, which change a lot, but basic statistics and finance, general knowledge, etc. This is why: "brains" only get you so far in life, but being an intellectual-type person one wants to believe that those more succesful than you are even brainier than you.

Some people work out their arms so much their legs are comparatively small. These people are not about to become star athletes. I wonder if they look at olympic sprinters or soccer players and think "what great arms this guys must have, I wouldn't want to wrestle with them".

> I’m surprised android hasn’t done their own iMessages api where all android can interoperable

Google have tried this at too high a level (allo and duo). I guess the reason why it wasn't made for AOSP and instead put on the play store is because they want the masses to be using a Google product. A bit of a shame, since given android ownership rates a 'free' service like that over IP would be cool. Maybe the real problem with that is deciding who controls the servers handling this data or something.

Tech doesn't need to 'go away' for the likes of us to have a bad time. All we need is a repeat of the 2000 dot-com bubble bursting.

In that case, companies with solid products at good prices still went bankrupt, as the customers-of-their-customers had trouble and demand for their products dried up; and as investors were spooked out of the entire sector. The damage wasn't limited to the likes of pets.com!
Umm, I usually give my flight attendants a $20 tip each. These people have been paying attention to my health, safety, and comfort needs for the last 6 hours. They are always pleasant and friendly. My tip will buy them dinner. I used bring them candy but someone pointed out that they could not eat it during flight because it might be tainted. Sigh.
Actually he didn’t.

The Innovators Dilemma is about making a product that “overserves” the market and for companies being afraid to introduce a cheaper “good enough” product.

Also the author of the Innovators Dilemma was laughably wrong about the iPhone.

> Why would I put this.y = 10 in the constructor?

Because that's how you initialize attributes of an object instance in JS, in January 2019.

I don't believe this code does what you think it does. Even if your definition of `x` generated an attribute of instances of C, using an arrow function would defeat your apparent intention: arrow functions take their surrounding lexical scope's `this`, which in this case is the class, not any instance you define from the class.

> If you don't bind `this` to `method` in the constructor, when you call `instance.method()`, `this` will be whatever (window, IIRC).

Simply not the case, as another commenter has pointed out: `instance` in your loop is definitely `method`'s `this`, and not `window`.

Yep. If you really want to try to persuade them don't expect that the harder you push, the more likely you are to succeed. The opposite is true.

Mostly we make decisions based on a gut instinct and then look for evidence to back that up, ignoring or down voting contrary evidence. In fact seeing opposing views can actually reinforce the original opinions.

Changing an opinion routed so deeply is rarely a single moment of revelation and move likely a slow, drop by drop erosion. So just be one of those drops.

I'm contrasting smoking cigarettes with vaping. I think those are significantly different things, and that it's very possible that the pure nicotine exposure you'd get from vaping does not contribute as much antiparasitic effect as you'd get from smoking a tobacco cigarette.

If you don't believe that the separate showings that

- smoking marijuana lowers parasite load

- workers on a tobacco plantation have lower parasite loads than prisoners

- tobacco has strong antiparasitic effects

do not constitute support for the idea that smoking tobacco lowers parasite load, then all I can say is that you're being intentionally obtuse. They are strong evidence that (1) Tobacco has antiparasitic effects (this is just the third result), and (2) smoking is an effective delivery method for antiparasitic treatments. That's what support looks like.

They don't conclusively establish that smoking is an effective delivery method for the antiparasitic effect of tobacco in specific. But that's a much stronger showing than "support" requires.
In the 90s Apple was on the verge of bankruptcy, was dependent solely on the Mac, contracting rather than growing and had no operating system strategy.

Today, Apple earns 70b/year profit, is growing at 10% per year and is incredibly diversified. They could survive on any one of their businesses and in recent years grew two from nothing i.e. Services and Wearables into 1B+ businesses. And they still have their 1B/year content play starting in 2019 and they have AR glasses rumored for 2020.

And you think Apple is doing bad as a company ?

Having spent the last few weeks in Beijing, I can't help but think that any reasonable trade compromise should essentially require that China get rid of its Great Firewall. When you block and throttle essentially any foreign digital product and service in this day and age you are not practicing free trade. Tariffs / IP protections / dumping / FDI restrictions are all important but so long as the Firewall is in place international community should block China from selling any digital and physical goods. WTO rules should be updated to forbid digital blocking and throttling.

Well isn't it something like: in times of wealth sales & marketing take over to promote growth (like a CMO becomes the CEO); in rough times it's finances that take over to cut costs and prevent losses (like a CFO becomes the CEO)...

The thing is, for some big companies Product is under the wing of marketing in some way... even if product releases are from a selected internal catalog to fill local market needs.

too small a market? The US still has a staggering share of world GDP, and the per-capita GDP (remember, PPP doesn't matter from Apple's perspective) is much higher in the USA. I mean, the per-captita GDP in China is under $10K/yr. Not a lot of those people are gonna spend a grand on a phone.

I think this is one of those situations where you count dollars rather than heads.

My understanding is that the "next billion users" push that all the big companies are doing is a bit like putting macs in schools. It is a long-term plan 'cause yes, the developing world is poor right now. maybe those people who are poor now won't be poor in the future, and if they know how to use your ecosystem, that's great for you. It certainly seems like a good idea, but I don't think it's where you make your money today.

I really think if you were serious about that plan, you'd come out with a giant low-end phone; You remember the thinkpad W series? something like that. big and clunky and cheap. Apple needs an iphone 5c level cheap plastic reskin of last year's big phone for that.
And never the twain shall meet!
Umidigi is one of the crappiest brands you could pick, though. Why not spend a few dollars more than that and get a phone with a real development community.
"Now, what can money buy? Only things on the physical level, that is, _sense experiences_. "

This is an oversimplification that detracts from the value of money. Your assumption that money can only buy sense experiences is incorrect. In reality, money can have a significant impact on the (emotional) and (intellectual) realms.

# Example for (emotional):

A couple with two children living together. The couple's emotional bonding is strained by feeling overwhelmed due to house chores. The strain can be significantly reduced by spending money on a nanny, ordering food when not in the mood for cooking, and other forms of domestic help.

# Example for (intellectual)

Working person with a family wants to pursue a second degree as a hobby. Unfortunately, they can't afford university.

It's true that, beyond a certain point, the returns from having more money diminish quickly. And I agree that as an inherent motivation it probably doesn't work for many people - only as a means to an end. But to say that money can only buy sense experiences is untrue.
I realize the author learned from the situation and I hope they're a better person now, but I would certainly consider their behavior abusive.

It's fortunate the kid was just dealing with dry skin. Imagine if it was something like OCD where they were dealing with an irresistible compulsion and had no way to express what they were experiencing. Is spanking an acceptable response? How about one or both parents telling them to just stop? Rubbing spices all over their hands so an already terrible experience becomes worse?

Perhaps I'm too invested in this because I grew up with an undiagnosed neurological disorder and was punished similarly. The punishment and derision from my parents took a serious mental toll on me that I'm still unpacking.

I'm an old folk in terms of computer history [0], and while my computers are not resource constrained, I'm resource conscious. Also, I'm a high performance computing sysadmin and researcher, so I know what computers can do with what amount of resources.

I'm extremely annoyed by the fact of running a complete browser engine and sacrifice half gigabytes of memory and a lot of storage (I cannot remember the exact size of Atom) just for a text editor or any other software with the same caliber.

Also, Electron consumes more resources than it needs. When running on any Electron app on my Mac, I generally get a notification about its power usage too.

e.g.: Atom is not as powerful as Eclipse, but needs more resources per feature. BBEdit is much lighter and compact, and is nearly as useful for me as Atom, and I can run Eclipse if I need a full fledged IDE.

Server-only deployment is nice, but I'd rather sync the data, because I'm not always online while taking notes, and if I'm going to keep my data centralized, I'd rather keep it at my home, and I don't have enough upload bandwidth to serve anything like Trillium.

an example well known to HN

I think the issue is that example doesn't seem to be true.. Jobs said at the time of launch that it was a revolutionary and magical product which was five years ahead of everyone else and would change everything. And the hope wasn't to have 1% eventually, but by the end of 2008.
I think this is where a company gets an advantage by doing real research.

That is, Microsoft and Google famously hire a lot of ex-accadmics and let them do basic research not immediately related to a product. That lets them build up 'secret' technology within the company that other people just don't have. However this is an expensive thing to do.

I think this is because google (and microsoft) are companies with a big cash cow and an unclear future path. They need to find and dominate the next big thing in order to one day replace their current thing.

Amazon on the other hand has a number of avenues for future growth. They just need to eat all of retail and internet infrastructure. Therefore they can grow just by solving their customers problems in a focussed way. Low cost, well engineered, current but not next generation stuff.

> What's the point in setting standards if you don't use them?

Just to be clear, you're talking about a de facto standard and nothing more. Also there's nothing stating people have to follow standards (particularly given how many standards are out there which contradict each other) let alone the de facto ones.

I think that Rust has captured many developers that previously used Javascript, so it's their first introduction to things like static typing. As a result they are amazed that a compiler can show them errors in their code before it's run.
Your TL;DR doesn't do the answer justice IMO, especially the "Lumber" section. It's not just that they're different, it's that lumber is more versatile because it's more easy to shape it to fit your design.

I don't know anything about woodworking (or bamboo-working for that matter) but if I am to trust this Quora answer it seems that bamboo is only really good if you want bamboo-shaped elements. Otherwise you need highly processed bamboo to emulate the versatile lumber boards:

>The process is fairly involved. Typically, bamboo is harvested, leached in water to remove starches (so it does not rot so quickly) or boiled in hydrogen peroxide (or both), dried, and baked at high temperature to darken its color. Sliced into thin strips, it is arranged in layers, usually with some degree of weaving to improve strength, mixed with resins, and then subject to high temperature and pressure to set the epoxy.[10] The resulting “board” is then stained and sealed, much like a regular hardwood floor.

i find this interesting that they would pay out, when they said this.

"Being awarded compensation for a petition does not necessarily mean that the vaccine caused the alleged injury. In fact:

-Almost 80% of all compensation awarded by the VICP comes as result of a negotiated settlement between the parties in which HHS has not concluded, based upon review of the evidence, that the alleged vaccine(s) caused the alleged injury.

-Attorneys are eligible for reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not the petitioner is awarded compensation by the Court, if certain minimal requirements are met. In those circumstances, attorneys are paid by the VICP directly. By statute, attorneys may not charge any other fee, including a contingency fee, for his or her services in representing a petitioner in the VICP.

According to the CDC, from 2006 to 2016 over 3.1 billion doses of covered vaccines were distributed in the U.S. For petitions filed in this time period, 5,576 petitions were adjudicated by the Court, and of those 3,785 were compensated. This means for every 1 million doses of vaccine that were distributed, 1 individual was compensated."

- https://www.hrsa.gov/vaccine-compensation/data/index.html

so, anti-vax/people with minor reactions people sue the special court (vaccine court), and the court pays the lawyer fees for themselves and settles with the suer.

i do agree that big pharma doesn't care for the people they serve, that's why insulin is now 300% more expensive.

There was one bug for a while where IPSec would not handle TCP packets[0]. This was a big one since sending TCP packets over an IPSec tunnel is a somewhat common scenario.

I had to keep an old kernel for quite a while before that one was fixed.

It seems that a lot of the quality control happens with the distributions, not with the upstream software itself. I doubt that SLES would have seen this bug, but because I was running Tumbleweed I have to expect breakage like that.
