I hope all of this results into Spotify Apple Watch that can stream music. I go for runs and even though my Watch has cellular and I pay the monthly fees I have to listen to podcasts instead of music

I thought about making a little automated system where it exposes my playlists as podcast stations. Like an AWS Lambda that runs Chrome headless and streams the output of Spotify web player.
That's what makes it an interesting problem. How can we reduce the influence on government that money allows? I think all meetings should be public, with publicly available transcripts and/or recordings. They are free to meet, but not in private.

Maybe it's true for Inuit children, but my own kids are certainly not like that. They know all about my buttons and how to push them from early infancy.

Apart from Lightning, which was created when no better alternative existed, I cannot remember a proprietary Apple connector in at least the past 10 years.
If I was given a new problem like this, the first thing I would do is google to see if it has been solved before and the approaches other people have taken. Not try to think up shit myself. With 15 years of tech experience I have found it to be a far superior approach to solving problems.

Some people may well not want to ask for help with a task during an interview seeing as its obvious that some interviewers may well mark you down for asking.
The problem is that all sources of information are biased. And it’s worse than that. People you meet on the street are biased. Your own friends are biased. I’m biased. People that claim they’re unbiased are definitely biased.

Everyone has an angle, everyone has their own personal and cultural historical baggage that’s going to color their perception of everything from commercials to politics.

It’s up to you to think critically, get information from multiple diverse sources, and form your own (biased) opinion, and always, always, be skeptical.
To build on what you said: in my twenties I fell in briefly with a group of pretty elite level, classically trained, working musicians. Though I am not a music person at all myself. I would go to their (very fun) parties and just got to know them and their scene a bit. Do you know what they talked about more than anything else? More than theory or favorite artists or their instruments?

Money.

They had to be obsessed with it, about where to get it, what gigs were paying how much, about when to sell out for it. Because none of them had any, but they all still needed to pay the rent.

Amazing people, astonishing talent, wild life. Constant worry.
Everyone wants safety. I’d urge you to drive a Tesla for a while and understand it before making erroneous assumptions about any problems you might imagine the screen might have. I suspect that small screens are a much bigger problem than well designed larger lagom-sized (just-right sized) screens.
> Unless of course by enforce you mean taking control of the sandboxing away from the user, in which case I totally agree that should not be done because I'm against that kind of user-hostile bullshit.

Nearly every effort I've seen by OS makers to implement sandboxing by default also makes the sandbox difficult or impossible to disable. iOS, UWP, the list goes on. I agree they shouldn't be connected, but they nearly always are. And it's always done in the name of protecting users.

macOS is the one bright spot here, and even then, the new dialogs in Mojave that can't be disabled fare crippling if you make heavy use of apps that need access to other app's sandboxes[1]. I'm convinced that if Apple moves to ARM, it will likely come with a massive tightening on user restrictions, in the name of security.

At least in the US, I think it's easier than you think for the government to get what they want from the telcos. AT&T and their retroactive immunity set a pretty strong example that if you play nice with the government bad things won't happen to you.

There is very little concept of thrift left in the United States, so if you make a huge salary the entire economy is designed for you to spend it all and more.

What do I mean by that? The more you make, the more banks aggressively offer you credit. You have no idea how many people I know that make several hundred thousand a year, but are crippled by debt.

Not just mortgages on big houses, if you make a lot of money banks literally mail you forms saying "Sign this and mail it back and we will deposit $100,000 into your bank account, Pre-Approved."

Speed. One of the reasons some politicians want electronic voting is to have the tentative results in as fast as possible, so they can sod off to their respective celebration/mourning shindigs and call it a night. That the actual, lawful count follows in the course of hours or even days is, to them, then acceptable.

Having these machines do a preliminary tally gives you a more accurate forecast of the votes cast than exit polls.

I just live and work in the USA my whole life, if anything I'm wrong about France. I'm not going to bother to refute most of your claims, as the premise is what are the salaries of tech people, not what are the standards of living of jobless people in San Francisco. Most of the US population, including myself and most of my acquaintances, live outside of those major cities, and that was the point I was making. You listed off literally the most expensive places to live in the USA, where the majority of people do not live. Education expenses are whatever you want to pay, we have plenty of choices including cheap choices, and generous scholarships for those that can't afford it but are smart.

There is a world of difference between being an investor of a startup and having your money/property with a company. The former is an owner and the latter is a customer. Also, I find it odd that the top two comments are the same "over his head" and "fair punishment".
The UK is very similar to the US, the culture is quite individualistic which leads to a consumerist outlook. You can opt out of that but you won't get much support, indeed people will mostly push you towards it. The rot set in with Thatcher and it's got steadily worse since then.
Ehh, just a minor spat in the end.

At the end of the day, almost literally everyone at Spotify fawns over Apple and Apple gear. And that's a problem.

If these companies are now finding out to their detriment just how precarious their existence is based on their dependence on Apple, then it might be a good idea to start championing multiple competing platforms instead of scoffing at any non-Apple related efforts.
Yes, it's gratis, not libre. I understood the parent comment to be referring to the price.

My limited (understanding) of the state of things in the US is that the lobbying itself is a problem mostly because the whole political system is driven by donations, which of course disproportionally come from the rich actors. Here in Poland the parties are sponsored by the state itself and donations are a very limited factor, which makes the lobbying not very effective and hence not a real factor.
Total Compensation: salary + shares + other perks
Spot on, which is sad.
You could use a Zynq FPGA that has a built-in dual core ARM processor. It has 512K of L2 cache and 256K of memory, more than enough to basically copy the same architecture into that design. It also has ADCs built in so you can implement analog joysticks too. It's also probably fast enough to build a graphics processor in logic. Only thing you may want to keep is the sound processor because there is no built-in DAC so you would need to implement that anyway.

> High salary alone will not create loyalty: there always will be someone who offers more.

"High salary" means "above market rate salary", i.e., you're the one who offers more than everyone else.

Yes, it does definitely create loyalty, to pretend otherwise is stupid. There are some things people won't do for money, but it's an awfully small list.
>If you don't mean a Google search, I'm not sure what you could mean.

If you're considering buying a motorcycle and have a friend (or a group of friends) that own(s) a motorcylce, are you more likely to ask that friend (or that group) the pros/cons of owning a motorcycle and for their recommendations or are you far more likely to use "nature language sentences" in Google to illicit that information (e.g.: "I'm thinking of buying a motorcycle")?

I'm going to posit that the former occurs far more frequently than the latter and that this is the potential "untapped market" for targeted advertising that a "private social network" would be after.

"Privilege is a large part of the equation; the privilege to not care; the privilege to be a white dude in an industry that (either intentionally or unintentionally) caters to white dudes. Yes, this reflects playing the game on easy mode. I have no doubts there. I’m writing that it’s not enough because I am too privileged to be able to see what non-white dudes should do. So if you’re a white dude reading this, make it better for everyone by not being cheap on compensation (and recognize any potential bias or privilege you may have)."

- what a cringy statement. an industry that caters to white dudes. literaly the CEO of the biggest software company name on earth is an indian. the CEO of one of the top chipmakers on earth is an asian woman and a big chunk of engineers are from china and india but ok whatever. what does the end of the statement means? if you are not white you can be cheap on compensation?

> I don't care if the author is a Rust expert or total newb. Someone who can write a 3D modeler in C++ is someone who should be able to use any new Algol-derived language with ease in short time, regardless if they hasn't seen a line of code in that language before.

This statement is absurd. It implies that you believe that there are only cosmetic differences between languages, that no language can ever introduce any useful new concepts.

Rust is not hard to learn. However, it contains new things that require you to put in the time to learn them. None of those things are as hard as learning, say, recursion or assignment was when you did it the first time. However, unlike switching between other mainstream "algol-derived" languages, there are actual new things you have to learn. If you go into it just pretending it's a cosmetically different variant of C++, you are going to bang your head on every sharp corner until you quit in frustration.

And having those new concepts is the price of progress. The current programming paradigms are not sustainable in a world where basically every line of code you write is going to end up as a part of the attack surface of some system that will, eventually, get attacked.

The far right had to suffer the most, but there are also plenty of left wing politicians who had to suffer from his "manipulation". There was a great article about it at nachdenkseiten but they deleted it. No wonder since he sued anyone mentioning him.

edit: To give an example, he deleted any mention on human rights violations in Facility 1391 with the argument, that Israel investigated the reports and found no evidence of any wrongdoing. Thats still where the page is today, different to the english version. For other individuals, like Nirit Sommerfeld he altered their Wikipedia page to push them into antisemetic corners.
Isn't the result more mixed? There are some studies that found no relation and other studies that found a relation, and no sufficient explanation why repeating the same studies end up showing different results?

Picking up loosely specified directions and filling up the gaps is indeed an important skill to have. If I had the time to describe the solution in the minutest detail to a co-worker, I would have the time to write it myself. Often, its a luxury that I dont have. In such situations I would certainly appreciate the skill that a co-worker can fill in the necessary detail from pointers and rough directions.

Wikipedia works quite well in spite of that though.

The Sands article looks like it was written by a company employee / PR which I'm not sure is quite astroturfing. Depends on your definitions I guess.

It reminds me of a page I put up on the company Algenol which I thought interesting as it was trying to make ethanol direct from algae and sunlight and saying it would be cheaper than regular fuel. Then the whole thing got rewritten by someone like Algenol's PR and someone flagged it but I couldn't be bothered to re-edit the whole thing - takes ages. Then Algenol kind of failed, fired the boss and went on to other things. Not sure how the page is now.
Willing to bet that with some improvements to the original design the results would've been even better.

For example:

– Your navigation at the top is illegible. Theres very little contrast and it's hard to read. Make that more clear, higher contrast.

- Your main CTA ("Japanese candy surprises in your mailbox twice a month." [Email]) is also hard to read because of the orange and the custom font. Swap out the orange for a more vibrant color (maybe the orange color of the button) and use a nicer font that's easier to read.

- MAKE THE FONT SIZE BIGGER

- Add in some of the elements you added in the new design: When the next box is going out, etc.)

Your original design had an air of authenticity and honesty to it. The bought template seems like a copycat.

Keep (and improve!) the original!

I'm not sure why you've edited your response rather than responding.

It's a minor system. There is no firm evidence yet that it was responsible for this crash other than some ADS-B data which only really shows that the aircraft was having control difficulties.

Pilots are trained not to get near the stall. Unless something has gone seriously wrong an Airliner will never go near that region of flight in normal service. Most airliners have stall behaviour which is likely to enter a spin or otherwise difficult to recover from, that is why most are fitted with stick pushers which prevent a stall ever occurring.

There are lots of other systems which can control trim on an airliner (the Mach trim system, the auto autopilot etc). Each of these have failure modes that can lead to a runaway trim situation.

The MCAS system is trivial. It may have a flaw which led to both of these accidents but it isn't the world is falling and Boeing tried to patch it with different software.

Context: I work at a company that makes a CRM product. The people that use our tool day-to-day are employees of our clients, and so the marketing stage is over: their employer bought the product, and now they are paid to use it.

What I'm wondering is, is there a role for and a way of using A/B testing to improve your users' experience, and to make it a better product? Most resources I've encountered on A/B testing are about increasing conversion rates, click-through, etc. I'm interested in how to use user data from users who have to use your product, to improve their experience.

A 4-year-old is old enough to know what they are and aren't allowed to grab, in terms of common household items.

> However, if you constantly yell at four years old, four years old will learn to ignore everything except yelling.

If you consistently show a four-year-old that only yelling will be followed by physical intervention, then they will learn to ignore everything except yelling. If you consistently show a four-year-old that a quiet "I'm going to count to three... one... TWO..." will be followed by physical intervention, then they will learn to pay attention to that.

The default attitude of most four-year-olds is "make me" and if you let them know what will result in you making them do the thing, they will pay attention.

Your question is how to bring this up with your client?

I'd either call a meeting or send an e-mail depending on the sort of communication culture and draw their attention to what would seem to be a risk to their business. But just pointing out the problem doesn't help unless you have a plan.

I would deal with this by calling up the founder directly to explain my concerns, after discussing it with the client. I would ask the founder of the SaaS for:

1. A copy of the software to be deployed into a GCP account I control

2. A source code escrow agreement - if certain conditions are reached (bankruptcy/founder's death) then you gain the source code and a license to it.

Of course, I would expect to pay a lot for this but it's worth it as apparently this is a mission-critical piece of software.

You could frame this as an "enterprise" deal. Tell them what you want and ask them to go away and give you a price. I'd expect that the price to be cheaper than developing it and porting it yourself.

But then, thinking outside the box, you could bring up another idea:

3. Discuss the possibility of acquiring the product. If it's vital after all then it might not cost all that much, relatively speaking. If your client has the means, $1m might not be much to them but it should be cheaper than developing the product, porting the data and operating it for a time.

Then your client gains a new revenue stream, a new (apparently very skilled) employee and the founder of the product gets a life changing amount of money. Everybody is happy.
