Sounds cynical and paranoid (I kid, sorta).
Good thing this article isn't about me... apparently idea gals are okay. Seriously, though; it's 2019, are we still assuming that every human is a man?

I'm one of those people who has a serious profusion of ideas -- I don't have enough time to follow up on all the good ones, because I tend to focus on delivering projects I'm already working on. On the rare occasion that I'm invited to meetings, I generally stay quiet and listen to my coworkers talk through issues that they're having. Often, I'll perk up at some point and ask a simple question that seems obvious "what if we... / why aren't we..." -- but nobody was looking at the problem like I am, so my "obvious" solution saves the day.

The real value of ideas people is that we don't get hung up on the details. We find "out of the box" solutions to problems that can trip up linear thinkers, and we're better at finding the nearest feasible pivot when that's necessary. We rely on experts to fill in mundane details, and if we can't play ball when they get stuck on the inevitable gaps in our ideas... then we've led our experts down a rabbit hole.

Good ideas people will have a specialty that they can fall back on. Your team only needs a few ideas a month, and you need something else to occupy your time -- because no matter how valuable your solutions are, yesterday's problem doesn't cost a dime once you've solved it. And the value of an idea is ephemeral -- once it's in the air and people start working on it, they build credit and it quickly becomes "theirs." Nobody else will/should see the hundreds of similar-shaped ideas that you rejected along the way -- your process isn't "work" to them. So apply yourself to a measurable quantity that technical folks can understand, keep your brainstorms at 20%, and only discuss the wild ideas with people who can meaningfully engage in creative processes.

2018 revenue of $2.16B, with a loss of $911.3M. Oof. Though as a passenger I can't say I mind buying $2 bills for $1!
I’m with you. They’re not designed for consumer use. The core of the argument of this thread is - these technologies are being marketed and pitched towards consumers despite of what you’re highlighting.
> You have to actively seek out the smartest people from the other side and listen to them, and that's a lot of work.

Partly because the smartest people on the other side aren't the ones that the average person on the other side is listening to. They're lost in the noise, even for people on their own side.
I think your comment is consistent with mine.

You are advocating getting the state out of the way of its citizens productivity by redressing the ways by which most people are taxed.

That's exactly the sort of thing i'm talking about.

If you want people in the developing world to improve their lot, get rid of authoritarian gov.s holding them back.

People wish to do things for other people, and wish to provide for themselves. It is institutions, and esp. states, which almost-everywhere and almost-everywhen have got in the way of that.

Fixing institutions is exactly the sort of thing which will help people who suffer needlessly.

But it won't change inequality: the distribution of productivity is necessarily unequal by the nature of productivity (those a little better off now will be able to multiply faster, exponentially).
Of course; it already has. And this is expected, but the solution is not, I think, to try and take the tools out of the hands of the citizens at this time.

America is in the middle of a cultural revolution, not unlike the Civil Rights era of the '60s. It's a fight of ideas and opprobrium, and both sides will definitely use the economic, political, and speech tools at their disposal to win it. As both sides have for years; advocacy, call for censure, political and financial support of this or that cause or politician---none of this is new. What is modestly new is the frequency and "heat" of the battle, because too many obvious injustices have gone unpunished (I think to the perception of both sides of the political spectrum, broadly speaking).

I'm not in favor of any kind of removal of these powers from the people's hands at this time, though. There's a reason we protect public speech and economic censure in general: because if you force people's hands by taking those tools away, they reach for the next most convenient tool.

And America, thanks to the Second Amendment, has a lot of guns.
When I choose to live in, say, Shanghai- it doesn't automatically reduce my cost of living.

I'm losing the security of clean drinking water so bottled water costs me- ~30$ per month. I'm giving up on social security but need to invest in a way that I have it. I'm giving up on safety regulations so have to buy and do things accordingly. In the end the cost of living equals out.

I do not living in London so I need to manage my own health.

Any argument about local rates is bogus

It is the opposite. The more SQL you use the less you will want to use ORMs. Many ORMs are basically a black box and you're never really sure if they are doing exactly what you want to do or adding some unnecessary crap, especially if you have very complex queries.

No good developer uses ORMs for anything significant.

I just watched the video. I think not a single person who watches the video would believe he was drunk. His answer was loud and clear. And the exchange between him and the conductor showed he's an utter douche. He specifically said he wasn't drunk, didn't drink.

It is a big deal because people in China are fed up with such behaviours. Yes the woman would be able to use his seat but why should people give in to such behaviour?

Generally police in China avoid using force. There have been videos that police were attacked by drunks / speeding drivers. Some people think police in China are far too soft.

OBS is amazing for streaming and recording but it's not equipped for editing previously recorded content.

I have hundreds of screencasts I recorded where I record my desktop and sometimes a webcam in the corner. These screencasts are put together to create a video course, so they need to be super polished.

With Camtasia it takes seconds to add really really nice looking tooltip pop ups, various text styles and arrows, smooth zoom / pans and even really neat animations that can be applied to anything.

For example check out the intro video on https://diveintodocker.com/. That entire animation (and video) was made in Camtasia in a few minutes without needing to do anything other than drag a few sliders around until the speed was right and it looked reasonable. Camtasia is an all purpose screencast editing tool but they have no Linux port.

I tried everything. Kdenlive, Lightworks, Shotcut, Open Shot, DaVinci Resolve and even Blender. They are all much much worse than Camtasia for editing screencast style videos (which are mostly around adding context related popups, dimming areas of the screen, adding text overlays, zooms, etc.). Worse as in, after 8 hours of trying to reproduce that Docker intro in Kdenlive I still didn't have anything that looked good with nothing in sight that would hint that I could do the things I could do in Camtasia. That was as of 2 months ago too.
I'm not sure that would follow

If your video sharing app has any decent usage your ratios are gonna get in their red zone pretty quick...

> Maybe if there was a way to band together and seek a unified compensation policy on a company/industry basis.

I don't think the problem is that people haven't considered unionizing, nor because of constraints put on union due collection.

Productivity up, population up. That will have an impact on wages for sure.
Louis Vuitton and Rolex say what?

I really like the idea of this product, if not the price.

We’ve just bought a new home and I want to achieve a minimal bedside. We’ve also got two very young children and frequently have to get up during the night. Being able to carry this to their room and sit with them while they settle down seems lovely.

We have AI that supposedly can "compose" articles, but there are no open-source grammar-aware spellcheckers. I love modern technology.

How are we even close to a monopoly? I could maybe see a oligopoly, but even though amazon is big, its not the whole market.
All the "solutions" you listed are broken and don't work, it's not because it's different that it's better.

I semi-regularly shop around for the best interest rate on a savings account and open one if I see one that’s sufficiently better. I’ve never had to visit one in person, and don’t believe I’ve ever had to send a scan of my ID.

For a concrete example, I opened a savings account with Capital One 360 about a year ago. I did it at home from the comfort of my computer and it took me just a few minutes.
The first item in my wish list is a better and more intuitive Cloudformation.

So much busy work they’ve created around their platform.

QuotaPath | Backend, Frontend or Full-stack Engineer | Philadelphia, PA or Austin, TX | $80K to $150K DOE | Full-Time | On-Site | https://www.quotapath.com/careers/ Happy new year, y’all!
Sales compensation plans can be shockingly complex. Too often, salespeople are forced to use unfriendly accounting software or to pass around buggy Excel spreadsheets. At QuotaPath, we’re solving this problem in a new way by creating a platform that’s built for salespeople, not accountants. Our business model is unique, both consumer-facing and B2B (“B2BC”; think Slack). Good UX and beautiful design are at the core of our process. The demand for a product like this is intense and we’re working as hard as we can to deliver features to eager users.

We’re looking for engineers to help us accelerate our development. If you’re interested in having a huge impact on a small team, this is a great opportunity. We’re well-funded, but we’re still only 9 people: 4 engineers, 1 designer and 4 others. I’m one of those 4 engineers, and I’m also the technical co-founder. Please ask me questions if you have any!

Our stack is Python + Django on the backend, TypeScript + React on the frontend, but we’re more interested in working with people who are smart and capable than people from any particular background. If you have strong opinions about using different tech, we’ll hear you. Like most startups, we’re built on lots of open source tech and we plan on giving back. We value building a culture of inclusion and transparency. We care about diversity and hope you do too.

Feel free to reach out to me directly: eric at quotapath dot com
I wouldn't ban anything. What we need is a bit of trust in some institutions. There is a rather obvious difference in quality going from, say, The New England Journal of Medicine to http://thespians-against-government-mind-control.hoax.

It is impossible for you to independently verify even a tiny fraction of what you read/hear on a daily basis. Therefore, you need proxies that can be trusted. These proxies can be evaluated by their performance over time, and there should be many, and they should compete for your trust.

This is exactly how everybody is already operating, almost all the time: when your spouse asks to borrow your car, you will probably give it to them. Because they have a track record of giving it back, and a long-term interest that outweighs any momentary impulse to just sell it and go on vacation. If a stranger on the street asks the same, you will be more sceptical.
> The NDA would have easily allowed Amazon to give the impression that other cities are offering more than they actually are willing to offer.

That's a good point.

My impression was that Amazon wanted to avoid a bidding war because of bad press.
If I had to guess, parent is sarcastic.
Bolt is a hardware VC, their blog is probably to support their marketing.
I understand that. I also understand that stuff like YouTube is effectively becoming the public square of the twenty-first century and if a company wants to own that, they can deal with not making all the money off of it that they could possibly, theoretically, make.

People matter more than corporations. Society matters more than corporations. I'm comfortable asserting that it would be better for Google to close YouTube down than to let an organ of growing central importance to society at large become what it's obviously starting to become; something less damaging than that neglectful caretakership can arise in its wake.
I think with stoicism you have to be careful to actually be stoic and not just pretend to yourself to be stoic. There are quite a few stories of meditation practitioners and teachers who broke down after years of looking peaceful and serene to the outside but they were just pretending to others and also to themselves.

Companies House - For UK based companies
The US recently did pass a law banning one type of this practice in insurance companies (though not for behavior purposes; due to the US's general disdain for punishing a person for that which they have no control over, they made it illegal to deny health insurance for a wide swath of preexisting conditions).
That’s why I was very specific in mentioning ‘architecture’ in my original question. What you’re mentioning is more akin to the definition of a platform.
