I've found that most organizational/motivational tools aren't sticky. I suspect for me it's in part because I just don't care enough about being organized typically and don't lack in motivation as much as I do in free time (4 kids, 2 jobs).

In fact, the only organizational tool that has remained a constant for me has been Trello, and only for specific projects. As an example, when I moved mid-last year, I set up a Trello board and filled it up with everything we needed to get done, Kanban style. This was super helpful because it helped manage a sense of being _completely overwhelmed_ by the volume of work needed.

And that's where I basically draw the line now. I tend to not live in a way where I let myself be overwhelmed by things, and when I need an organizational tool to help cope with the busy times, I know where to find one that works for most workflows I could come up with.
Why does Emacs use the Meta key?
I distinctly remember being able to do it at one time. Then a friend complained he could never reach me and I discovered my cell number was dropped from forwarding and couldn't be added back. I may have managed to sneak it in by porting in a forwarded number.

I have reported and watched maybe half a dozen bugs get fixed on Amazon, starting in 2003 I think. Never even experienced a reply from any other company when trying to report problems over the years.

I think a handful of companies are getting more proactive with security reporting, but everyone still treats the quality of their services and front line support system as an afterthought.

You put a lot of trust in multinational corporations. Given the history of price fixing, cutting corners, etc to make an extra buck, I'm not sure I'd be so trusting.

If your assertions are correct, then competition is unnecessary since costco or any company would have the appropriate price/quality ratios. So we should only have 1 monopoly in every industry.

What's the point of having other large warehouse retailers when Cost is going to have the right price/quality? It's just redundant and wasteful.
Yes it is a very simplistic explanation to why genders tend to gravitate to one job or another.
And yes, I'm saying that most, but not all of the disparities are biological and while it's a great idea to encourage women to pick higher paying jobs, we're at a point in time where we'll see diminishing returns in those attempts.

For the same position with the same experience, in roughly the same location, I'd be very much surprised if the AVERAGE/MEAN pay gap is more than a single digit percent across an industry.

By all means go after those X% numbers, teach women to negotiate more, assert themselves and so on, but I think you'll end up with numbers similar to the ones in this study -- a couple percent improvement.

What I'm trying to say is there's no conspiracy against women earning more in the western world.
I wonder how well that would work for intangibles like branding, patents, or copyright - all three are artificial and can essentially be charged for arbitrarily and the company value is what provides their worth.

I suspect it would be easier to have a subsidiary rate rule - they may charge percentage either net or gross but not expenses for any IP including required external salaries but even that probably has loopholes or inviabilities.

> Before I start, it's important to point out that in a authoritarian state like China, laws are often deliberately made very strict but only loosely enforced.

as a complete sidenote, aside from your excellent comment, I'd like to point out that this is true in 'The West' too.

EDIT: Let me give a specific example in my home country (The Netherlands). Weed is 'tolerated', but not legalized. You might feel free: you can buy weed at coffeeshops, even smoke it in front of a cop but it's still illegal.

Woe is you when you smoke it with any regularity and drive a car! If for some reason you're stopped for 'erratic behavior' in traffic, you can be submitted to a saliva test. Depending on your online sources, these can tell whether you've smoked weed in at least the past 24 hours. But when the cops are not friendly, they can make you take a blood/urine test, in which use of weed can be detected for up to 3 months, chronic or otherwise, at least.

What this means is that in The Netherlands, which weirdly is often seen as a laissez-faire place to smoke, you can be caught as a 'drug user' even if you've not smoked 3 months after your last joint.

What happens next is that your license is revoked, you might be imprisoned, and for the next year or so you need to take various tests to prove that you're safe on the road, and you might have to talk to a psychiatrist. Costs very well might exceed 1000 euro for all of this.

To be clear, if you never smoke weed, and light up once, you'll be safe after about 24 hours. But any usage beyond that puts you into a murky world that potentially leads to all of the aforementioned, no nuance.

My point is that is 'authoritarian' has quite a few dimensions, and even a 'liberal', 'western' country like The Netherlands is quite authoritarian from certain perspectives. That's not to diminish what you're saying about China, but just something to keep in mind.
Yes, but open source developers are in their vast majority unpaid volunteers gifting their labor to other users, so these users can either accept the gift as it is or not accept and move on. They are not entitled to other people's work and time for free.
> On a different tangent: Why should a movie have to be released in cinemas to be considered eligible for an academy award?

Since the Academy Awards are a award by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which is an association of movie industry to promote themselves. Any organization can award whoever they like.

The question is: Should the public give them that much attention?

Having watched some/plenty of Netflix movies (imho) they are flat, lack substance. Just as a point of reference/to make a comparison, one of my favourite movies is The Fountain (Darren Aronofsky). Maybe some of the Netflix movies got the big names (e.g. Ed Harris - Kodachrome), but they feel like one-dimensional.

Cinematography and cinemas keep people give people jobs, not only while MAKING the movie (cast and crews), but for people to watch it as well. Cinemas (the actual venues) give people jobs, the crews that work there, make pop-corn, sell tickets, cleaning crews, etc.

Netflix wants us to sit on our couches and binge/rot-away [1]. The two experiences (cinema vs netflix) are not even close.

Edit: I am not negating the usefulness of Netflix, HBO, and other online/serving platforms. But if you want to play the movies-game, you have to win it on THEIR rules. Otherwise make your own 'oscarZ' and go wild :)

I find it hard to believe that tech-savvy people click on something on a new tab page instead of doing Ctrl+T -> first two letters -> enter.

Since there's a whole lot of space to fill in while doing that, it might as well show you a pretty picture and some task or something.

I would consider a completely white page as a waste of screen estate.

I like the puns and the visual style a lot but the randomisation sucks balls: I've seen the one about the spider and his website three times in a row, plus multiple repeats of many others. Can you implement a proper deck of cards style shuffle for them to avoid repeats?
I'd be okay if they redid the thing with an eInk display. You press once to activate the device and retrieves the current price, and you have to press it once more to confirm the purchase.

To be honest I'd still buy one just to tinker with it and see how far I can customize it to do something else, but Amazon wouldn't benefit from it so they'd have an incentive to block people from doing so.

At your edit. As per the guidelines lines, if we don't have something constructive to say (re:other replies), we are expected to downvote anything we disgaree with.

It's not Reddit and it's generally not snap votes, it's either agreeing or disagreeing with a point of view. In this case, it seems mostly disagreeing.
Thanks. I'm struggling to understand your advice to OP:

"If the bootstrapped business fails to make money fast, there's always this option with your amount of money."

So let's say I'm in OP's shoes and I have the $350k. How do I take advantage of this option that's 'always' available to make $15k/month of passive income?

The customers are testers, especially in "break early, break often" scenarios. I wouldn't call them testers to their face, but... operationally, they're part of the loop. Treat them as such. If you're not going to pay for much testing up front, at least treat the real testers (customers/endusers) as part of a process, not as part of a problem.

If, when I reported an issue, and it was determined not to be PEBKAC... loop me in on updates, or followup with questions. I'm happy to try to reproduce issues, or give more details, or whatnot. I'm a user/customer - I want the product/service, and I want it to be better.

That sounds reasonable. The more I think about it, the more I think that they probably already had guessed which compounds might be present, and simply performed a variety of tests on the gas to determine if those compounds were present.

Thank you! That’s helpful. Since you’re comparing it to JS/CSS/HTML, does this mean you moved from that to Qt? If so, do you think it was a worthwhile move?

Sure, but the problem is that unless you live in a large city with a vibrant independent cinema scene and have a lot of free time on your hands chances are you'll never get to see them (unless they show up on a streaming service 6 month later, ironically enough).

Is 90 days enough to fully fix for example spectre and meltdown? I'm not sure all bugs can be fixed in 90 days. Some will take decades to resolve.
I still use mine. Especially for laundry detergent, I'm going to miss this.

Subscriptions are something I've tried a couple of times but have this problems for me:

- I don't know how often I need a lot of products. I could keep a spreadsheet for 6 months and figure it out but I don't want to do that.

- It's hard to remember "do I have a subscription for this?" so I wind up ordering anyways.
It would be absolutely reckless to try this with a family to support. Just do it on the side of the day job.
Yeah, it's honestly disheartening, but it's great seeing Amazon realize the value that support can play. Even looking at the hiring requirements for some of the positions can give you some insight into why it works as well -- support teams which require it have strict development requirements, and consequently the support engineers
1) know the problem space and can infer what you're trying to do
2) know what it feels like to be blocked by something completely out of your control and feel like you're writing into the aether

It would be great for companies as a whole to start realizing the value that you can bring to your existing customers through this experience, and to recognize that this is another face of your company.
I wish this was not random.
Because they benefit.
I think he's taking the wrong approach in his argument. Convincing people that a streaming movie should not be considered a movie seems like an impossible task. This apple is green, so it should be considered a pear.

The easier route would appear to be changing the rules for the Oscars to require a wide, long, exclusive theatrical release, or some other nomenclature which will preclude streaming services, or at least cost them a significant amount of money.

If that's what he wants for the Oscars then whatever, but trying to convince people that streaming movies are technically TV sounds ridiculous. Anyway, have at it, lest it quicken the Oscar's inevitable demise.
Naval Ravikant: Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status
Seems like every blockchain should have a baked in “genesis” procedure and “felling” procedure (yep, a logging term since you’re “severing” the Merkle tree) to tie up all sources of new transactions and stumping or “tarring” the blockchain. Sureley there’s fantastic logging vernacular to draw from to name the period between the start of a “felling” and the resultant stump.
Presumably they want to inform users so they know they're vulnerable, if no patch is forthcoming.
I've heard various stories of people being caught shortly after crossing the border (by accident or otherwise), via cameras and so on. Granted, these might be isolated anecdotes.
Or worse. I think worse is better.
One of the reasons why the prohibition of alcohol failed but cannabis is illegal has to do with the DIY-supply. Everyone could brew some alcohol at home. Growing a hemp field is not so easy to do undetected and therefore much easier to enforce. Cheap artificial lighting did have some impact but this yeast (if it works well) could be a real game changer.
I had the same thought in the back of my head. Netflix could spend some money and open a dedicated theater in some small town to just show all new releases for a week or two. It's not much shorter than any major release spends in the theatres, right?

Since distribution is digital now, maybe they could just align with a midsize chain and offer a "Netflix Night" once a week or something. Hell, it would probably make money.

A few weeks ago I tried to make a complaint to the national mail service, because they decided the pickup point closest to me was about half an hour from my house, rather than the pickup point that was literally around the corner.

They had an online complaint form, but you were only able to use it on workdays between 0900 and 1600.

If everyone thinks like you (hopefully not for variety sake) then they won't win any awards. However, banning them from movie awards (they do make movies) is not the answer.
Ah look! Another generic Medium post of a list of programming books that come up first on Amazon's search list. Why do these people get attention?
This is why we regularly take developers to customers. It is eye-opening to see on-site that your mobile app with tiny but well-designed buttons doesn't work for registering container positions when the user is in a shaky 90 metric tons weighing machine, handling 30 metric ton containers.

We write software for container terminal and other logistical actors, and seeing the software being used by real users is so incredibly important when designing new screens and workflows, it's baffling to me that developers aren't taken on-site more often.
I think it’s okay for people to use their twitter accounts to say what is important to them.
Before I respond, please don't misinterpret me. I think it is perfectly acceptable to choose Rust over Java saying nothing more than, "We felt Rust would be a better fit for the team," or "We were more excited by Rust." However, if somehow you have imposed on you the constraint that you need to compile ahead of time, this is not enough to toss Java out of the running.

Vert.x encountered some issues with reflection while Rust simply does not support the sort of dynamic reflection that Java running on the JVM can achieve. SubstrateVM forces you to have compile time reflection, and Rust can also support this to some extent. If Rust is a feasible alternative to Java for you, then you are not going to encounter this limitation if you choose to go with Java. Plus, if you ever decide you do need this power in your application, if you go with Java you can pay the cost of the increased operational expense and install a JVM.
Spliting hairs here, but it's not about clicking something, it's about changing what those first 2 letters typed are.

Call me a minimalist (or whatever else you'd like), but "might as well" isn't a good enough reason to add distractions for me.
None of this gives a legitimate reason to exclude their works from the Oscars. Unless they are to become a valueless celebration of media oligarchs, the awards should be awarded on merit - if Netflix productions are as low-quality as you assert, it should not matter whether they are eligible for the Oscars.
I'm in favor of treating workers better as much as anyone, but I'm dubious about claims that European-style pro-worker policies are actually better for the bottom line. The US has higher productivity than most EU states. Given broadly similar capital and infrastructure, it would seem at least some of this gap is due to people being more afraid to lose their jobs in the US than in the EU.

Not only that, but couching pro-worker policies in terms of benefits for ownership obscures the issue, and implicitly makes the argument that we should only have pro-worker policies when they are also pro-ownership. That's nonsense, since there are millions and millions of workers and we ostensibly have a democracy.

>Over the coming years, I foresee data scientists dividing into at least five types of workers

Yeah, sorry my dude; that happened before "data science" was even considered a profession.

The other tools; trifecta is a helpful thing, but I doubt it's helpful enough people will actually pay for it. Auto-sklearn/DataRobot was the result of a DARPA request a few years ago, and doesn't even vaguely solve the right problem. It's also just R-caret which has existed for 10 years now.

My prediction: data science in 5-10 years will look pretty much the same as it does now. Just like aircraft in 5-10 years will look pretty much the same as they do now, or did 5-10 years ago.
Fire up your python IDE and make a bouncing ball. Nowadays programming feels a lot like an MMORPG. You can't do a solo mission, lest you will get stuck behind some bushes unable to move.

You have to go downtown, fetch some libraries, visit their documentation stores, check facebook, take a look at your stackoverflow pending events, polish your IDE to work with whatever you've just downloaded, copy-paste some code, refurniture until it works, then refactor until you are satisfied. Repeat forever.

Before, all my turbo pascal adventures were solo missions. Batteries were included. I did not leave the IDE and did not need another book. I did not download additional manuals. It was all there.
