The difficulty with this sort of thing, in my experience, is that once you do need to hire a lawyer to review this sort of agreement, it turns out to be a lot more expensive in the long run than just hiring them and using their forms to begin with. They know their own language backward and forward so it takes them very little time to make a standard change to their standard form. Looking at an entirely new (to them) agreement, they have to analyze it from scratch.

If there were truly industry-standard forms that all attorneys were familiar with for these standard agreements, that difficulty wouldn't arise. That's how the residential real estate market in the US works, for example — standard forms for all sorts of situations approved by the real estate associations. It's sort of like how an open source infrastructure product will eventually become the cheapest thing to use because everyone already knows how it works.

Do you have a goal/roadmap for making your agreements the industry standard?
Do you have any sources on the percentage of grain that is not of human-quality? Are there any estimates of what percentage of the non-human quality grain can be filtered to become human-quality? We're not talking about fundamentally different plants, just the difference between seeds, stalks, & husks vs seeds alone. Even putting the exact number aside, we're talking about thousands and thousands of hectares of arable land used solely to feed livestock. Even if the number is only 80 million (back in 1997), it is still a large-enough number to beg the question: is this the best use of our resources?

>>Spaceflight is non-Euclidean like that.

Spaceflight maybe, the traveling between objects part, but other space operations are very much euclidean. The folks trying to talk to mars rovers are very aware of exactly how far mars is away from earth, as is anyone trying to image planets using telescopes.

Yep, I was talking about that special software for IMAP (Protonmail Bridge), which they provide and which is very broken.
But why is that a bad thing?
What I noticed is once people started using mobile devices the richness of their messages/posts/comments declined radically.
Loans did not create the affordability crisis. Decreased government funding for higher education did that.

Look at any first-world country that has kept college education affordable and you will see that they are essentially propping it up as a social welfare program, capping tuition, and giving universities tons of money. No country has kept college education affordable through any other method.

That's also the way it used to work at state universities in the United States, and that's why kids were able to work summer jobs to cover tuition.

If you take away the loans without also significantly increasing funding for higher education, college will not become affordable again.
If the AOA sensor is safety critical they need three, rather than two.

The inherent problem with two is if one is feeding false data, you don't know which one, whereas if you have three (or more; but an odd number) you can cross-check the data and drop the faulty one.

It is a very common strategy already for commercial aviation and is called "voting logic."

> A more reliable form of voting logic involves an odd number of three devices or more. All perform identical functions and the outputs are compared by the voting logic. The voting logic establishes a majority when there is a disagreement, and the majority will act to deactivate the output from other device(s) that disagree. A single fault will not interrupt normal operation. This technique is used with avionics systems, such as those responsible for operation of the Space Shuttle.

But the real crux here is: Is the AOA sensor safety critical or not? If it can fail-safe then they can likely continue as it is currently designed. But if its failure state can cause an aircraft crash, then it becomes a safety critical component.
Some people can benefit from the drug. But the opioid epidemic may make it difficult or impossible to obtain. That's the point.
Thanks for sharing, I didn't know it was used in those circles/circumstances.
Interesting article and interesting comments here. My personal experience is that by working to remove the um, and ahs in my presentations I did get more attentive audiences. For me it was a combination of rehearsing what I was going to say a bit more (so the conversation had already spooled out a couple of times from my brain) and being ok with letting the last thing I said just hang out there. Of course there are good times and bad times for that, I've heard speakers use cliff hanger statements to engage their audiences.

In general two-way conversation I'm not so sure. Does it make them better? Does it break them up? That is something that is less certain for me.
First of all. It's click bait. Not click 'bate'.

Secondly, did you even read? The author has some rigorous math describing and supporting the headline.

I don't know how much more strongly someone would have to prove something to you than to show you the math for you to be convinced.

I guess you're the kind of person who is not satisfied by anything at all. Fine. Keep your mind closed. And your mouth too.
"They’re all wrong. NASA literature even tells us Venus is “our closest planetary neighbor,” which is true if we are talking about which planet has the closest approach to Earth but not if we want to know which planet is closest on average."

Closest approach to Earth is of course what NASA cares about since they plan trips to it. I wonder what future the writer is imagining where average distance matters.
Trump has a point here, systems are becoming too complicated without adding much new functionality.
Classic suburbia perception. When I lived in a place with a similar thought process, they were putting undercover cops on busses to find the (black) high school kids burglarizing homes during the day.

Hmm. So would legalization stamp out most of the problems?

If possessing/using drugs weren't a crime, then people would have less to say "I'm already breaking the law, fuck it"

You'd knock out most organized crime cause you cut their money from them.

If the city was willing to sell at cost (seriously, morphine and oxy isn't expensive to make at all), it would also destroy that economy, and potentially free some back in the hands of the people.

And at the bottom, it also looks to me is poverty and suffering, and people using drugs to buy a short while not thinking about it.

Huh! The Brooking's story actually cites this Gallup data. But it's a little out of date. Looks like Republican ID has sprung back up in the last ~6 months. Touché!
This is entirely from an engineer's perspective. The reason agile and scrum are so popular is because it works for managers.

Managers need to herd all the cats, keep them on task, and give them continuous deadlines to report status in order to keep a low level fire burning under their employees' butts.

For open source software projects and hobby projects, this type of "asynchronous" development is perfectly fine.

For corporate environments, the problem is that employees are not necessarily intrinsically motivated and also need a way to communicate regularly up a chain of authority. This is the point of meetings.

Furthermore, managers generally succeed based on social intelligence. By regularly keeping tabs on employees using real meetings, they can assess the emotional state of the team... such as the morale or whether anyone is struggling or going through personal problems that they are reluctant to broadcast.

>These CSS tricks are cool but they shouldn't be used in a production environment without basic usability testing.

The same can be said about any JS library that interacts with page controls.

The wast majority of modal dialog implementations on the web do no follow the standards you're referencing. Do you routinely criticize websites on this basis, or is this criticism only reserved for ones that use vanilla HTML+CSS for core functionality?

>More specifically, no you cannot add keyboard shortcuts "with 0 rework".

Yes, you can. 0 rework != 0 work. Anything that unchecks that checkbox on Esc will close the modal. To implement that you don't need to change the structure of what you've already done. Progressive enhancement.

>How are you returning the users focus to the active element before they opened the modal?

Focus management has absolutely nothing to do with where the state of the modal is stored. You can implement all of the usability features you want on top of Checkbox + CSS solution with the added benefit of not screwing everyone who can't run your scripts or completely breaking the website for everybody if something in your JS gets broken.

Hey David from Hackernoon here. The technology industry is very consolidated. It's easier to get a small business started, but when it grows, it's easier for another technology you depend on to change its terms. In my case, I was content running a bootstapped business that barely made enough to fund two jobs (hacker noon in 2017 & 2018), but my revenue stream was cut off by pivots from my content management system. With an enormous cost of switching, we turned to our readers to fund the movement into our own infrastructure: https://www.startengine.com/hackernoon Now, I have a small team, and win/lose/or-draw, I'm thrilled to have the future of my business not tied to the fate of medium.
You are making an assumption that people would want to borrow against primary dwelling.

Debt and loans are not always attractive to everyone. Especially if they are older and retired. They are likely to get a reverse mortgage if they have no income or if they are on fixed income. And that’s a risky strategy to many.
The book Dreamland[1] touches on this as well. There was this interview[2] (which I probably heard about on HN) with the author a couple years ago which was really interesting.

Thank you for this feedback. We are aware of this problem. We have faced it few times. This is why we will allow our users to connect with our network of lawyers, who are very well familiar with our language. Moreover they will be able to easily compare the document they receive from users with AXDRAFT template, so we expect the fee to be significantly less, compared to what you would usually expect from a lawyer.

Well, kinda.

In the UK state-level interference would likely go unnoticed if it mugged only postal votes and didn't push too obviously-far in one direction or another. I've been on the receiving end of mail interference and since then I can only assume it's become a lot cheaper to do than it was.
> but if no one was getting a SALT benefit before, how could the cap have been a revenue-raiser (which it was scored as) in the tax bill?

It hits people with lower-but-still middle-class to upper-middle-class, who weren't hitting the AMT before but still would have state/local taxes above the SALT cap.

IMO, you've opened yourself up to lawsuits from all of your investors by hiding material information about your risks. If you launch a new site with fewer than 8M page views, your investors should ask why. And if the answer is that you weren't able to port your back catalog to your new site because you don't have rights to those articles, your investors should ask if you knew this ahead of time. And if you did, they should consider suing you.

I know this "Tony from Medium" is your attempt to say that I'm speaking for Medium. I'm not. I have a bag of potential biases here including a small amount of Medium stock, shared investors with Medium, Medium's CEO was my boss in 2005, my cofounder and one of my former employees both now work at Medium, etc. But my main bias is posted elsewhere in these threads. I own and operate Better Humans and have a publishing partnership with Medium. I labeled that somewhere else as Medium dumping a pile of money on us. If I was speaking as a representative of Medium, I'd say that. I'm speaking as myself and as someone who has a lot of publishing experience.

Plus, none of those potential biases have anything to do with the facts of your prospectus. If you raised that money dishonestly, you're taking on a lot of risk to yourself for no good reason.
No. If I develop an interactive website, I'll be damned if I try to also keep the No-JS folks satisfied. Either you trust me, or you don't.
Again do not read too much into my specific choice of words. It could not worded that "Use the best standard adherent browser like FF" or similar.

CGP Grey had a good video about this recently: [0].

Basically, the UK is required by treaty with RoI to not impose a border between the RoI (not part of the UK) and Northern Ireland (part of the UK). And the UK wants to erect a border between the UK and the EU. So, do they break the treaty with RoI potentially causing The Troubles [1] to come back? Or does Northern Ireland effectively leave the UK? Or does the UK allow the EU to require that Northern Ireland and the UK by extension to conform to the trade rules the EU made and will make?

They can only pick one, and they don't want to pick any of them.

sounds like the definition has changed since you were in college:

'A programmable logic controller (PLC) or programmable controller is an industrial digital computer' [0]

PLCs that are computers with digital processors have been around since about 1984. It is exceedingly rare for any digital equipment to still be in service that is more than 30 years old. The equipment may still be working fine but nobody is around who knows how it works, how to program it, or what to do if it stops working. A real con for digital and pro for mechanical systems!

Of course all of the analog systems that preceded the digital ones have been ripped out too. Nobody could be bothered to learn how they worked, parts became scarce, and digital is so much cheaper and faster to develop and own!

Congratulations on your next chapter. Some things I really wish I was told before I went on a one-year stint at a tech startup:

- Workplace policies have only ever been communicated to you, you're now going to see them in action. Expect contradictions immediately, and set the tone early for your expectations based on your hiring contract (i.e. If they told you it's 9-5 but you observe this not so and you're de facto expected to be there much longer, do not ignore this. Address immediately.)

- Do everything you can to make your boss / the founders look good. This includes your own job, of course, but show initiative in all manners of the organization. Know a potential lead for new business? Make it known. Have a suggestion that will speed up your teams output? Prepare a succinct explanation of it.

- Do whatever you can to be positive, it will be welcomed and deeply appreciated. Founders are constantly smelling burning money and putting out fires when possible. If you can smile occasionally it'll distract everyone from the multitude of Horrible Looming Realities that follow every startup. If you're known as a "nice colleague" it'll do you wonders.

- Learn more about your own output. If you work in a better environment than the one work has created, attempt to foster one that calls for better work. Not everybody loves working in an open concept office/shared workspace.

- Back up all requests / suggestions / comments with data. Nobody likes a 'talking head.' If you can speak your bosses language (increasing value exchange) you'll have their ear no matter if they follow your requests or not. It is extremely important you tie every comment you make about building a better product/company clearly ties back to what you are all there to do.

- Keep a work journal. This helped me immensely to process all the lessons learnt in startup land. And I cannot recommend how important it is to reflect on your work. Even 5 minutes of writing in a doc every evening will do you wonders at making better decisions, especially as your team starts to inevitably grow.

Best of luck!
I recently switched to Firefox on Linux after 6-7 years of Chrome and I do use Windows and Mac laptop too.

1. On Linux - Firefox feels much more snappier than Chrome. Specically on Fedora, Chrome as a input lag which is non-existant in Firefox.

2. On Windows and Mac - Chrome is either on-par or feels snappier. I use either browser on these on two platforms.

3. On Android (galaxy-s8+), Firefox is fine but it integrates poorly with rest of the OS. Youtube links don't open in youtube app, searching for locations is bit of pain because Chrome produces Google maps hyperlinks.

I am still sticking to firefox though, because my main computer is Linux and Firefox is just to much better on Linux (lately).
Feedforward CNNs cannot tolerate as much noise and real-world variability as RNNs.
Even if all this speculation of yours is true, it's still the FAA's and Boeing's problem.

These supposedly awful third world pilots and aircraft engineers have somehow been managing to fly earlier models of the 737 for decades, but when they upgrade to the MAX variant somehow two of them crash in quick succession?

That either indicates that these two events are freak accidents, or that the MAX shouldn't have the same type rating, the latter of which is on the FAA and Boeing.
Private company implementing it seems even even worse.
I can't speak to murders or other violent crime, but it was called the Loot Rail because of the prevalence of shoplifting after the line was opened into the suburbs.
> I'd assume that's a version designed for developers who work on Firefox itself, not developers who use Firefox to work on the web. There would be no reason for them to omit some of their dev tools from the regular builds.

That is a an incorrect assumption:

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/developer/

And why would there be no reason to omit these tools? If they're only going to see the light of day when a developer is using them, they're a waste of space for the average user, correct?
Not sure I follow. What I’m saying is most people won’t make the distinction between the different 737s.
I don't look inside my personal e-mail inbox unless I'm expecting to receive a message at a particular time: "click on the verification link we sent you" and variations on the theme. If other mail appears on the screen at the same time, I may take a look at it assuming I'm not in a hurry to do something else. Otherwise I never look there. No one e-mails me anyway. Everyone who's anyone has my wife's phone number; that's an exceedingly short list of people.

Slack and GitHub together are adequate for day-to-day work things. Everything else just isn't sufficiently important to justify a channel into my brain.
Ah-hah!

"What if we stopped trying to guess what layers we need? What if we removed this boundary between painting and compositing and just went back to painting every pixel on every frame?

This may sound like a ridiculous idea, but it actually has some precedent. Modern day video games repaint every pixel, and they maintain 60 frames per second more reliably than browsers do. And they do it in an unexpected way… instead of creating these invalidation rectangles and layers to minimize what they need to paint, they just repaint the whole screen.

Wouldn’t rendering a web page like that be way slower?

If we paint on the CPU, it would be. But GPUs are designed to make this work."

This is ideology, not rationality. Nuclear energy is not some bureaucratic wasteland of dithering and meaningless regulation—it is literal world-ending stuff.

I don’t know how committed you have to be to a libertarian view to get here but trying to paint the entire Department of Energy as feckless bureaucrats and red tape in need of abolishing, that Perry could actually mean that in good faith for the betterment of our country, is just preposterous.
