When I became a member at WeWork I thought most people occupying the buildings would be be in a similar situation as mine: freelancers hotdesking so that they could have a decent space to focus and mingle.

But after going through several buildings I realised that the hotdesk offer is only the frontend to their business. Most of the building occupants are sizeable companies that have decided to offload the problems that come with managing an office. Some entire floors can be corporate satellites to big enterprises.

That was my experience and the S-1 might say that the revenue distribution is different but I thought it's worth mentioning.
This looks pretty amazing, and it's exciting to see this technology applied to an area that is likely overlooked but extremely important.

I noticed that the full purchase option only comes with a 2 year warranty. That seems a bit short, no? Given that this costs as much as a car, I'd expect a warranty similar to what you'd find on a Honda, for example.

I'm not your target audience, so take that with a few grains of salt.
Facts need to be backed up with evidence.
> How many people know enough to "think for themselves" in this area? How many are going to know anything beyond what the manufacturers' advertisements say?

For one thing, the fact that other people might not be competent enough to think for themselves is not a justification for banning those who are from doing so. For another, I agree that we need regulatory bodies to ensure our medicine is safe and effective -- just that every individual has a right to decide for themselves which regulatory body to give authority to. Science is premised on the providing logic and evidence for one's claims; a scientific regulatory body would provide logic and evidence for why we should trust their judgement. Using threats (legislative or otherwise) to force everybody in the country to trust their judgements is anti-science -- "because I fucking said so" is not a replacement for logic and evidence.

Additionally, as I stated, the standard I'm proposing includes a justified use of force for those defrauding others via false advertising claims. If it can be transparently proven that such claims are unjustified or need further qualification, then providers can rightfully be forced to change their advertising.

> I've worked for FDA-regulated medical device manufacturers twice. I didn't enjoy the experience, and no one would call them efficient, but they do not deserve the venom you are pouring on them.

I'm speaking in broad generalities, of course in any enforced institution there will be good and bad actors, and the whole spectrum in between. What I'm railing against is the corrupt political system that allows this sort of tyranny to stifle human freedom without answering probing philosophical questions such as "why am I not allowed to disagree with your determinations?"

> You rather badly need to re-calibrate your moral compass. Their mandate is "Nobody gets to poison people on my block. Nobody gets to create junk devices that kill people on my block." That is in no way morally equivalent to a gang of drug dealers.

I've already qualified my position that such criminals should be held accountable in the court of law, and in this comment qualified it further in stating that it is reasonable to set up regulatory institutions with processes to ensure safety; they simply can't justifiably be enforced.
This "small town" is between Chicago and Milwaukee, and because of this new factory, the highway is getting expanded from 3 lanes to 4. Yes, I drive past this every day.

Not only has this created a headache, but yes, it just looks like a ploy by Foxconn to "show the execs" they are pushing for growth. iPhone sales have been slowing, we all know that, building a giant factory is nothing more than a bonus to a few top-level executives in return for demolishing a quaint Wisconsin town.
This one is legit surprising. Anki had big physical booths at retailers, although admittingly I've always seen those booths completely full. (they're expensive)
> suddenly it's cheaper for tenants to break their leases?

Isn't that also maybe good for WeWork?

The following could happen:

1. WeWork will close down some sites

2. Threaten to close more and shake down their landlords for better lease conditions (since there's fewer people looking to rent corporate real estate)

3. Other companies will look to close down their own satellite offices and transfer workers to WeWork sites for cost savings.

That's the bullish case for WeWork in a recession, I don't think it's absurd.
TeamCity doesn't handle downstream builds properly. Bamboo has severe stability problems. I've worked at places that evaluated them and always found Jenkins was still the least bad option.
I know about artificial insemination, but you can't do it when you want, it only works when the cow is in heat. When a cow is in heat she behaves differently (she starts ridding other cows) so the farmer notices this and calls a veterinarian to inseminate the cow or bring a bull.

I was asking if they can force the cow to be in heat. change the ovulation cycle or whatever explains the thing I quoted.

That's not the point gp is making. You're right of course: Chrome is competent, IE6 definitely wasn't.

> But if you want to help everybody, even the most nontechnical, even spreadsheets are sort of beside the point and not really what they want. Instead, making things easier to use (as Apple does) is closer to the mark.

A counter to this is that in the process of "making things easier to use," companies like Apple have in fact taken the "computing" out of the medium. Today Apple provides tools that allow very snappy and intuitive imitations of things that already existed: music, movies, etc., along with some basic tools to organize these things.

Spreadsheets and Hypercard are examples of media that are unique to computing -- they allow users to do things they literally cannot without having a computing device. This is not true for many of the things consumers use personal computers for today: as a phone, as a messaging system, as a radio, etc, etc. Computing today is almost myopically focused on making more convenient and efficient copies of things that already exist.

It might be true that Hypercard and spreadsheets are "not really what people want." But what if tools like those are exactly what people need?

I have come across innumerable situations where regular office people need to go just one step further than their shrinkwrapped desktop applications allow them to. At that point they have two options: either find some software that also does the very specific thing you need to do, or learn an entire general programming language and all the low level (and immediately irrelevant) information that goes with it. There is no longer anything viable in between those two extremes. As technologists we have really failed these people.

> The Trump Administration has no standing in the current API copyright issue before the Supreme Court.

That's...not in dispute. They aren't bringing the case, so they don't need standing.

> Why the Court has requested input from the White House is difficult to understand.

They didn't ask the White House, they asked the Solicitor General (a Justice Department official whose office represents the federal government at the Supreme Court.) Which is fairly routine in important questions involving construction of federal statutes, because even if they aren't parties to the immediate case, the federal government obviously has an important interest in the meaning of federal law.

> The matter is very significant, as a few hours with the briefing will show, and the impact intergalactic.

Which is why it would probably be more surprising if the Court did not invite the Solicitor General to file a brief laying out the government position.
My first internship in 2009 was for a company with a similar business model in the UK. We developed a Windows application, a web application and an API which allowed letter templates to be uploaded and then sent out to large mailing lists using mail merge.

Most of our big customers were real estate agencies where it felt pretty spammy but the selling point was that people were more likely to open a personalised letter compared to an email. Some of our marketing focused on poking fun at people using franking machines!

I remember a more interesting customer that sent out parking violations to individuals. Along with the basic mail merge, the letters would include images of their vehicles parked where they shouldn't be.

The biggest problem we had was with consistent print quality. We sent batch files to be printed out by different printing companies but there would often be problems with things like alignment and image quality. Even though we had test letters sent to our office every day we'd always be stressed out when a new customer was coming on board and testing the service - they'd often receive a couple of dodgy letters!

In the end the company was absorbed by a larger IT business - I think they just wanted the developers. They wanted me to come work full time for them but I went back to University to finish off my degree and did some part-time remote work for them. Can't find any trace of the company online now.
> once they break, it's game over

This was on my mind the entire time I read the article. People are having their lives opened up by responsive pumps; some of them are even children who will grow up without ever having to manually manage each blood sugar swing. But the entire setup depends on scavenging outdated pumps and importing unapproved devices. It's deeply scary and depressing to think of where they'll be left if those pumps fail before an approved solution hits the market - or becomes similarly affordable.

Even if closed-loop pumps are approved and affordable at that point, the loss of control will represent a real step backwards for a lot of people. I don't have easy answers, but realizing that this is how things work is chilling.

The dotcom crash absolutely had an impact on macro indicators. The loss of faith in the sector hurt new business creation. Nobody wants to start a business in a recession, and VCs don't want to spend money on "tech plays" when the IPO market is weak and they've been burned too many times on dud investments.

The economic impact can't be quantified by the drop is stock value, it occurs slowly over time, like lower payroll taxes, higher unemployment benefit costs, lower consumption etc.

Being predictable doesn't really matter. Denmark had a great summer in 2018, that meant the wind didn't blow which means they had to import energy from Germany. Germany has plenty of solar yet they ended up using coal to provide that energy. The weather was amazing in Germany too yet they didn't actually provide Denmark with solar energy.

I don't think you done any serious research into this to be quite honest.

Then there is capacity factor wich is a whole other problem (look it up)

To claim that coal isn't economically sustainable is absurd. It's more or less the cheapest we have.

With regards to China thats 5% electricity NOT energy. Again I don't believe you actually did any fundamental research here or you wouldn't throw out these numbers that does not support your position.
Is AM radio a general audience thing? I don't know many people that listen to it and the ones that do are all older. I know a whole lot of people that listen to podcasts.

Looking at the problem broadly, the issue is that we, as an entire species, are unable to commit to a single goal and execute. One of the externalities of this fact is we behave in such a way that makes our environment less inhabitable. This is one of the ways we need to reinterpret the problem. Global warming is a HUGE THREAT, but we can't solve it directly. Us being able to solve it directly means we can get the whole planet to agree.

We can't agree because of psychology (sorry for the rhyme). This immediately leads us to shadow work (Jungian depth psychology). As a human race, I think we all can agree, we have a VERY DARK shadow.

So I think our only hope to save the planet is to "save ourselves". Just think about it logically. Within 2 years, just in the USA, we have rolled back 8 years or more worth of efforts to stop global warming. The reasons are ultimately because of business, which is linked to consumers; who are consuming (mostly) because of.... psychology (be it from the consumer end/ or the producer end that jacks up prices). Unless the entire planet can agree on the course of action, we are going to have a bunch of great things get cancelled out by not so great things.

My hope in this comment is to get the conversation moved in that direction. How can we get the entire human race to commit to a goal that will take 10, 100, 1000 years to execute? And as daunting as that seems, it has to be WAY EASIER than figuring out the weather... and it should speak VOLUMES to all of us that we are more willing to figure out quantum physics, machine learning, AI, complex weather dynamics; but very few of us are willing to tackle this human condition that keeps the world going the way that it does. It's not enough to solve for scientific solutions; we have to develop solutions that appease our mental lives in ways that don't cause harm to ourselves or our planet.

I believe much of this come down to us developing a common mythos that makes us all feel (sorry for a lack of better words/terminology) like Marvel Superheroes; like Avengers. My case in point, look at how many people came out to see this comic book movie. If we felt the same way about our individual lives, we wouldn't feel the need to escape into movies or the numerous other outlets of consumerism that ultimately lead to global warming. This comes right up against our concepts and uses of religion, politics and anything else that we still consider sacred.
Well the point is, let's say they have a core business that's profitable. The valuation is based on a market far larger than that profitable core business. As part of the story, the losses are coming from trying to grow the core business to a size to justify the valuation. And it's just not clear that the larger market will ever become profitable.

> we don't have to risk having food poisoning if we choose the wrong grocery store

Yet we still have food poisoning outbreaks. So this is false, no single institution is omnipotent and without error. This is a soluble problem - force institutions to justify their existence, rather than forcing individuals to abide by their rulings.

> if we don't regulate the oligopolistic markets we have in everything today (how many pharma companies are there?) we are in enormous danger of everyone losing confidence in food and medicine supplies. Nobody wants that.

Indeed it is an oligopoly, because of the enforced regulatory regime. So your argument is circular - we need enforced regulation because of the oligopoly caused by enforced regulation.

Pragmatically, I agree that it would be mayhem if the FDA was simply abolished tomorrow. My solution is to abolish their enforced regulatory power and allow individuals to decide for themselves whether they want to give authority to the FDA exclusively or instead heed the judgements of other bodies that might be more competent.
I think your argument is a little flawed since all it says is (10 year old + billions spent = failure) when in fact, there have been companies that have survived for close to a decade under dismal conditions only to resurface as a giant, look at Apple for example.
