Pretty steep, including wall climbing but those were full height boots not the ankle height popular with most hikers.

You don't tie as you would normal laces you create a knot on one end and loop it through all the lace loops then you simply pull and loop it around the shaft and the colar and tuck it in it was secure enough to even run in (as much as can one run with a full kit and a PRC-77 they had us chugging along during training) and traverse any terrain I had too.

I don't know how would if fare in very cold (as in sub zero) weather but then I had normal laces snap on me while trekking in Peru and Iceland as well.

BTW don't forget that while a bungee cord can stretch pretty well the shorter it is the more stiff it is so all of the bends in the loop essentially create a lot of short individual links that don't stretch as easily as the entire length of the cord unwound, you also need to overcome the friction between the cord and the tongue of the boot which makes this setup pretty darn secure but easy enough to pop on and off if your curl your foot and ankle and ease it in or out.

I understand where you are coming from, but the question is flawed. All taxi / ride companies must meet some kind of safety and maintenance standards. No matter who it is.

Looking back and saying "Taxi companies were also as bad" is a terrible way to dismiss the need for regulation.

These contractors should have their cars inspected every n months or n amount of miles by a certified shop.

Lyft should also provide a way to allow users to report safety / mechanical problems and temporarily remove that car from service (not the driver) until it is fixed.
>G-code is the most hilariously bad language

Let's do a web site programming analogy(weak but relatable), because JS is now a mature programming language with advanced interpreters. This was not the case back when JS was used to make text dance and a few other useful ad-hoc solutions.

-Early web days with just html is like plain g-code spit out from cam systems.

-Early javascript is like macro options available on industrial cnc[1][2][3].

-Mid years javascript is where cnc macro program is heading, isolated shops doing some awesome things but no industry wide adoption of a coherent system.

-Late years javascript is where cnc macro programming needs to be if we want proper revision control and all the other benefits that normal programmers have afforded themselves.

Which brings us to real digital twins(monozygotic, not the fraternal state of the art), a single source of truth digital file should manifest as both a real world part on the shop floor and a virtual object in the top floor to be used by all the departments.

To close the analogy, like nodejs affords developing on the backend and the frontend with the same language.

I run a business that does outreach for agencies and can attest to the fact this there is still PLENTY of opportunity building sites for small business. We were "throwing so many fish back in the water" that had too little budget...but they had SOME budget so we spun out a business for that. I am a terrible WordPress programmer and only a moderate designer but even I make nice income from this division of our business. We build a 5 page brochure site for $1500 then charge $100/month for security and hosting . It adds up fast.

why is sharing a problem? You can put your password database anywhere as long as your master password is good.
I've found, anecdotally, that offices with 3-6 employees working on the same area offers the best communication. If you're in a room with that amount of coworkers, you do have a certain level of noise. People talk, someone usually has a customer on the phone.

However, the background conversations tend to be on-topic and this seems to be much less distracting opposed to lots of noise about everything. On top of that, you pick up what the rest of the team is working or struggling on to some degree. And this is really, really valuable we've found.

Anyone know a good source of info on the Iridium Certus service they are supposed to start offering with this new constellation? Based on the marketing material I could find it seems like the upstream is only ~350 Kbps even though there are plans to offer 1.4 Mbps downstream service eventually. Hard to understand why someone would pay for that over the other services out there where the upstream bandwidth scales with the downstream.

Looks like more recent phones are better about this, but there are still a lot of older phones out there! And there are still leakages that allow tracking.

Yeah, the way I see it if the system only works because there was a bunch of hyperbolic alarmism to balance out the awful impulse of industry-aligned legislators, the system wasn't actually working that well. It may be functioning, but the fact that this battle will get harder and harder to fight every time it happens (which could be eternal) means that's not really something that works well.

MIDI is just a protocol, it doesn't care which cable it gets sent over, as long as both ends of the cable know which message transport system if being used.

As such, pretty much every modern MIDI device can already do MIDI over USB (including the ones that have dedicated MIDI ports on the back).
The fundamental idea that employees need different kinds of space throughout the day is sound. But in practice we are amply provisioned with 8 different kinds of collaborative space (desks, conference rooms, auditoria, nooks, lounges, cafes, phone booths, libraries) and no space for quiet work. We even have Quiet Rooms, but they are for meditation and napping, no laptops allowed.

Partly this is a question of social norms rather than physical plant. Make any of those spaces Library Rules and they would be great.
Here are my thoughts:

I am far from my days of "building websites", but I built one as a favor for a friend just this week (simple contact form, single page). I was talking to him over the phone about his previous website, how it was built, who built it, etc...

I think there is A LOT of money to be made with building websites for small businesses.

Yes, the challenge is not technical, and yes, we (from an engineering point of view) think it's a commodity and that Wix and the likes are solving all the problems, that's wrong!

Let's start from the bottom, if you have real sales, that talk to small business and take care of their online presence, you will get a lot of business.

Forget about the CMS, forget about the self-serve, you act as the technical person and take care of:

1. Yelp Page
2. Facebook Page
3. Instagram Page
4. Website
5. Content writing

You can get a ton of business with targeting the right business types and pricing it right.

You have to figure out the problem you are solving. forget SEO and forget everything that we as engineers think about, think about the value you are adding to a small business.

If you tell a busy business owner that he can text you the updates they want, or you call them once a week and get a few new photos that you will update in the right places and get them more business, you will thrive.

If you develop a high-touch business in a market where everybody thinks they will win with a low-touch 5$ a month market, you can win.

My friend paid 3K$ for his previous website.

Textures usually ship compressed in a format that is supported by the hardware. Hardware texture compression saves a lot of bandwidth and therefore improves runtime performance. That compression step is done offline and it's slow enough not to do it on the client's side, otherwise just using ordinary JPEG compression would reduce file sizes substantially.

Microtuning is a long way from being a solved problem in MIDI 1.0. MIDI Tuning Standard is sufficiently poorly implemented that there are several non-standard alternatives in widespread use.

This is very much a "Falsehoods Programmers Believe About Names" type of situation - what western engineers perceive as an insignificant edge case is a constant frustration for many non-western musicians. The answer to the question "How do I play music from my own culture using electronic instruments?" should not be "Well, it's complicated...". Support for non-western scales should not be a clumsy, optional part of the spec.

No, there isn't. There's a minimum threshold for some extra burdens, but the vast majority of the burden has no minimum threshold (other than the fact that entirely personal activities of individuals aren't included).
I'm not sure I understand your comment. USB-C is still just USB, which was already a universal messaging transport solution. Driver complexity hasn't gone up just because a new physical plug got invented, so presumably you're thinking of the increased number of devices that now use USB, with a C connector, but the fact that it can do "even more device types!" now makes literally zero difference when the spec was already designed to allow all devices: the only difference is that HW/SW is now finally capable of transmitting reliably enough to handle the massive loads those now-supported devices require (hdmi, ethernet, etc.)

So I’ll tell you from my past experience that there are plenty of designers that make money building websites using platforms like squarespace.

The trick is that the designer adds additional polish and takes the full service approach:

- wiring up CRM platforms

- mailing list management

- SEO optimizations

And so on. In some cases these folks are more than comfortable working in something like Wordpress or Jekyll, but they also want the site to be maintainable by their customer and choose Squarespace instead.

But I would agree that the days of “make me a simple website” are long gone. Now you have to be a full service shop.
This is an excellent post and should get some love. 60% of small businesses don't have a web presence at all and 90% have only ONE of website, FB, and Yelp. Offering to handle all of this stuff and then wrapping in Proofer/AdviceLocal/Yext and twice-monthly blogging is a nice business to be in. PRetty common to get $3-5k site builds and $500-1000 a month to manage and maintain the other stuff.

There are just way more economic solutions than new nuclear power stations (and the old ones really start to have a lot of issues and have a lot of downtime).

This is yet another reason that FB should be transparent about adverts run on their system.

In other media, all adverts are visible to all. FB should publish a searchable DB of every advert live, with parameters used and general info about purchaser.

They would then effectively crowdsource the policing of the ad network. The Russian dezinformatsiya & influence campaign that they missed in 2015-16 would have been quickly flagged, to all of our benefit. Also scams -- all it would take is one motivated person with decent search skills to track it down.

As it is today, a total black box, thousands of ads can run that nobody notices, and do real harm, and it's directed at the FB user base.
