6 Reasons Why Tech Products Fail
I went through what you are describing.

What happened to me is that I went from being _the_ key employee who built and architected major parts of everything, to slowly but steadily being stripped of every single task, meeting, project, in favor of new people who were brought in to cover those areas they had experience with on their resume (but not necessarily performed at a higher level even after their ramp-up period, in my obviously biased opinion).

In the end (after about a couple years from my productivity peak) I ended up as a completely disposable resource, with literally nobody paying attention to anything I had to say. It surely was a very tough mental exercise for me, I had to brain dump all I knew about the technology to all these new hires dozens of times, knowing that they would completely replace me in months and leave me task-less, which they did. I had crazy impostor syndrome constantly thinking "do I suck this much that they are replacing me for everything?" (the answer was no: I was able to obtain job offers from 4 FAANG companies, and I joined one).

The worst part of all is that nobody will tell you what's going to happen, your manager (manager that you didn't have when you joined since you built the damn thing when nobody was even around!) and everyone around you will keep praising you. But each and every single day, one little piece of the puzzle will be taken away from you and given to the new hire with the shiny experience on the resume.

What "saved" my mental sanity is that I am a good negotiator and so I was able to negotiate a decent equity package at the beginning and put it in writing in my contract (2%+). Unless the company is doing particularly bad business-wise, screwing up common shareholders, especially if you early exercise, it's not that easy, so throughout all this period I took comfort in the fact that I was still likely vesting more shares than anyone else non-exec who was brought in to replace me.

I have left that company now, but so far it paid off, since I've already been able to obtain some liquidity for those shares by selling some of them to private parties. In the vast majority of cases, it would have been worthless as startup equity ends up underwater.
I've given up on telling family to not post pictures of my kids on the internet. I just deleted all social accounts and no talk to them. Social media is utter cancer IMO.

First, Miami Beach is a heavily tourist influenced market similar to where I live near Jackson Hole, WY. If you live or invest in a market like that you are doing so with full knowledge of the pros and cons of such an environment. The differences in your environment there don't start and stop with short term rentals.

Second, whatever the problem is (I assume rowdy, drunken college students?), it's a human behavior problem, not a problem with a service that enables value exchange like Airbnb.

Block the ads. You have every right to do so. There is zero obligation to watch ads. If a company like Google can afford to operate a service like YouTube, then putting it up in the first place is the cost of doing business. I happily block ads on all devices I use and am in control over, even at work.

If anyone is curious how it works with external accounts, I just tested it:

1) Mail arrives (subject intact) with text like "John Doe has sent you an email via Gmail confidential mode" and a "View Email" link

2) The link takes you to a "To view this email, you must first confirm your identity. A one-time passcode will be sent to (your email)" page.

3) Entering the separately-emailed passcode lets you see the email body in-browser. Selecting text is disabled in the body (so no copy-paste), trying to print the page blanks out the body area -- I'm sure you could bypass either with a bit of JS wizardry. Printscreen/screenshot work as expected.

This seems like an overly critical article. Zoning laws and NIMBY impulses should be fought tooth-and-nail and I'm glad Airbnb is doing so. The platform has allowed me to actually enjoy travel in ways I never could before.

What I feel like is missing is a communication path from the community to the platform. Because people start by calling the police to complain it immediately becomes a legal and local ordinance issue. If it were easy to report abuses to Airbnb directly, or if local police were instructed to contact them, the platform could better regulate itself.
I've been all over the US, NYC is a dump of colossal proportions, a train wreck happening in (maybe not so) slow motion. I live in Europe and parts of Manhattan reminded me of the third world. Hype / reality distortion have a lot to do with NYC being perceived as "vibrant" or "most important".
That's the first time I've heard SPL isn't reputable. Anyway, it's not an opinion piece, it's just a list of violent events. If you find one that's not true, please say so.

The article is a record of right-wing violence, which are due to strains of white supremacy (often Christian supremacy as well), going up to 2019. So Islam is far from exceptional when it comes to ideologies prone to violence.

You're not one of those people who dismiss everything that disagrees with them as "fake news", are you?

So if Islam is not the only ideology that can turn violent, then why do people like to focus on it so much and act like it's the number one threat to the world that's flying under our radar? And people ignore the fact that US activity in Muslim countries has been so barbaric, which is obviously going to make people angry.

This is why people talk about Islamophobia, because the fixation goes beyond logic.
IPv6 was designed long before surveillance capitalism was a concern and before security in general was as much of a concern as it is today.

Addresses don't have to be assigned that way. There are other ways of assigning addresses including privacy addresses and DHCPv6. The address space is so big that just generating a random address, while not RFC, is "okay" on all but huge networks if you're working in a /64.

No, they just want travelers to sleep in places designated for travelers. This wouldn't even be an issue if it wasn't a real problem - a well-behaved group of transients is near-unnoticeable in a neighbourhood and by definition doesn't disturb anybody.

Another problem is that the proliferation of this practice seems to be disturbing the already tense situation on the housing market. Meeting an odd couple from the other side of the world is fun. Realizing that you can't find affordable flat to buy in a city because a significant portion of it is scooped up for renting and short-term leases - that drives up societal discontent.
It is hard to create coverage from nothing. So they made an hybrid form. "Bring your own coverage unless there is coverage". Something is better than nothing i guess. Even with this hybrid version i think chances are very slim one node will meet another and create a tiny chain by pure coincidence.
If you have an Amazon Prime subscription you get unlimited photo storage and a certain amount of space for videos/documents for free.

You can also create groups and post photos/videos to that for sharing with family.

Only issue I've run into is the Amazon Photos app on Android doesn't always back up photos as timely as I'd like, and deleting photos on my phone (wanting them to stay in the cloud) results in some odd behavior with images not loading, even though pulling up a computer they're still there.

I also have a quite large video that it keeps getting stuck on with the upload, which might be part of the issue.

Haha, yeah you could pluck that comment out of any decade and find (insane)people saying it.
This is absolutely spot on. The default action of most investors will always favor the biggest players, which becomes problematic since it ties up money in an action economy sense to the people connected to those corporations networks.

If you model a person as a decision engine, assigning a fixed number of decisions able to be made at a time, then investment leads to increasingly large amounts of capital decisions being delegated to fewer and fewer people realistically.

Shareholder value optimi and minimization of liabilities through wage growth suppression over time create a divergent flow of cash away from agents willing capable of making decisions counter to the primary objectives of entrenched actors.

You not being in a financial position to invest in a community operated grocer is a consequence of long term winner-takes-all market trends. The decision was made elsewhere and only percolate down to you after a long chain of financial transactions eventually terminating at your employer.

It's a fascinating mental model I've been toying with, and trying to figure out what data I'd need access to to prove or disprove any merit to the supposition.

You're completely ignoring the efficiency aspect. ICEs simply cannot compete with EVs when operating at low and variable speeds: the EV will get far better overall energy efficiency. Sure, you can get a lot of torque from a diesel engine by gearing it down, but you're just not going to get very good efficiency when it's constantly braking and accelerating at low speeds. And electric motors develop peak torque at stall; ICEs always have to use clutches or torque convertors to avoid a stall, and their peak torque is very high in the rev range, so you need an even bigger engine when operating at low speeds primarily.

There's only one deficiency with EVs compared to ICEs, and that's energy storage. On every other metric, they easily win.

The meat:

> go mod init creates a new module, initializing the go.mod file that describes it.

> go build, go test, and other package-building commands add new dependencies to go.mod as needed.

> go list -m all prints the current module’s dependencies.

> go get changes the required version of a dependency (or adds a new dependency).

> go mod tidy removes unused dependencies.

And you can use some sugar to declare exact versions you want.
I was bracing for downvotes on that comment for shilling. It appears the QC35s are loved by many, myself included.

Honestly if you regularly write code in an open office like I suspect many here do; a serious, professional pair of headphones are one of the best things you can get. Wireless with active noise cancelling that are comfortable and have a robust battery life. The Sony model mentioned by another poster appear to be quite nice as well.

Smart management would make sure these things are available to their employees no questions asked.

I've been using Go modules, and I really like them. It's obvious they really paid a lot of attention to backwards compatibility. Being able to vendor using mod is really awesome, as well as see all your transitive dependancies automatically. It's very goish to focus on minimizing your dependancies and actually think about what you're pulling in. I'm not yet sure how I feel about the v2+ stuff. Having a separate module for breaking changes is something I think I'll have to try more to form an opinion on, but I dislike the idea of embedding the version in the name instead of using the mod file.

I do think it's kind of odd that it decides to put packages in GOPATH, but disallows you from coexisting go mod projects in GOPATH. I organize all my code for all my languages using the go repo as dir. I've had to maintain a separate tree for go mod which is not ideal.

After using Go dep and mod, I felt that dep was the super straightforward and obvious way to do it. It's how I would have done it. Go mod is much more Goish, it's opinionated and based on a philosophy that fits with the language. It Gives me hope that if they do add generics they will make them uniquely Go as well.
>If it were easy to report abuses to Airbnb directly, or if local police were instructed to contact them, the platform could better regulate itself.

I don't think Airbnb really cares to do that... and that kinda is where the problems start in terms of what Airbnb is really all about.
Livable streets, which are a joy to walk down, are essential. And the author of this piece is correct that you can't just use a top-down plan to segregate roads and streets.

It seems to me that the key is to find ways to make automobiles less mandatory in general. So instead of needing two or three lanes for automobiles in each direction, you only need one. And, ideally, a reduction in the need for curbside parking.

This can be accomplished through tax policies, zoning, and ordinances that promote walkability and transit-oriented development. Shift taxes off buildings and onto land value. Allow mixed-use development. End mandatory minimum parking requirements. Implement congestion pricing and smart parking meters. Use pigouvian penalties for pollution, in proportion to the harm caused.

All of those could be implemented without requiring top-down planning or accumulating more municipal debts.

I'm all for spending money on parks, libraries, bike trails, and public transit, but you can't just drop those into a community where all the economic incentives incline us towards the McLifestyle with big box stores, strip malls, and drive-thru.

Is the nutrition profile anywhere close to real meat, though? And by nutrition I don't just mean "does it have enough protein".
It's not "pseudo", it is a tool to reduce risks of accidental leaks, and to enforce discipline. Used in a right context it increases security. However, I agree that it's proprietary, and it would be better to have such things in RFC.
Given the noise level in the city, a bell would only cover a few blocks.

Also, this solves a different problem: having accurate clocks. Unless you want to station an attentant under each clock to reset it when the bell rings. The assumption is that there's a lot of drift in the clocks of that time so frequent re-syncs are necessary.
For starters, Walmart and Google are very different things.

Walmart is a store, and sells things. Best Buy is also a store, and sells many of the same things Walmart sells. They are competitors in the market for selling electronics. Competition between them is good, and so they aren't required to advertise each others' stores.

Google is a search engine. Bing and Yahoo Search are also search engines. They crawl and search the same websites. Competition between them is good, and so they aren't required to advertise each other's search engines.

Google Mail is not a search engine. Google News is not a search engine. YouTube is not a search engine. Google Play is not a search engine. These are all different products from Google Search. Thus, Google giving preferential treatment to these products in its market-dominant search engine would be a textbook example of an antitrust violation: using a dominant market position in one market to interfere in the another market. (It depends on the jurisdiction's specific antitrust laws, but it may not matter where the competitors' products show up in the search results if Google is giving preferential treatment to its own competing products in searches for those products or the search terms that would list those products.)
I don't seem to be understanding the finances behind it.

The agreement is by completing the program, you pay 15% of your salary for 2 years as long as you're receiving more than $40,000. However, it also says it's capped at $30,000 total over that period.

If you pay someone a $2,000 a month salary for 21 weeks, that's already $42,000. Where's the extra $12,000 coming from?

I'm just trying to understand since if I agree to quit my "current job" and rely on another company to help pay for me, I'm relying on that company to not pull the rug out from under me when I'm half-way through the program. How do I know this is a reliable and sustainable program?

Interesting concept! That's just the first question that comes to mind for me.
Author here. Sounds like I won you over :)

Thanks for the feedback here. I modified the post a bit to not show the arrays because the library doesn't return arrays but rather aync generators. The power of this is that you have a single interface for interacting with all data no matter if there are zero or many results.

This is library is a proof of concept. In a perfect world, there would be a nice wrapper around this query result for interacting with the data.

queryResult.get('order').first()

This would provide a single order by calling the first yield for the generator. No need to worry about the underlying result.

With all of this said, it doesn't have to be this way. I'm exploring ideas here. The important concept is that GraphQL can be used to express the expectations of the client and a library like Graphable JSON can go find the needed data in the API. This gives the expressiveness of GraphQL with the benefits of REST. The sky is the limit. Thanks again for the feedback!
I have always wondered... Does the AP have some higher-level notion of object permanence, continuity (road behind a horizon or after a curve) and things like that? Does it track a pedestrian that is momentarily hidden behind an obstacle and will probably reemerge in a second or two on the other side? Does it expect that kids may run after that ball that just flew from behind a car? Does it continuously track and improve classification of all objects in the field of vision, with their trajectories and speeds if they are moving? Personally I don't think it does, otherwise it would not erratically slam into clearly visible and marked large objects in its way, or it would be aware of a truck moving in a perpendicular way and so on. I am of opinion that without such higher-level awareness it can never succeed, hope to learn about the state of the self-driving art.
