People who go to bars alone are usually open to conversation. So you go to the bar and sit at the bar with open seats next to you. Whenever someone sits near you, you strike up conversation. It is wise here to have a keen sense of whether or not people are interested in continuing your conversation. Choose a bar with a relaxed, quiet atmosphere, probably serving tasty drinks so you have a shared activity over which to bond with people.
Constraints. I prefer not having the freedom to do anything I want in some cases. Pretty much the same rationale as the one behind removing the "goto" instruction.
There are other reasons why an open source implementation is useful even if it relies on some proprietary backend stuff (like being able to review the code running directly on your device).

And I think it's more interesting in the context of the recent Huewai/Android story.
A practical problem with community colleges are the plain fact that high ambition people tend not to be there. People with ambition tend not to be there, or are operating from a disadvantage and community college is the best they can get, at that time in their lives. This defines the initial network of a community college attendee, as well as their operating environment. There is quite a bit of invisible help that arises simply from one's environment being a can-do ambitious place. Not saying community colleges do not have positive environments, but at a university setting becoming a degree professional is the given.
He is referring to people with CS degrees, not lower class people with no life skills. If you made it through college and got a degree, you're basically on track to be middle class.
I think this is the key question we should address right there on the home page. Thank you for this.
I think they'd retain some of that valuation. Unlike traditional cabs, they show up (I've been stranded by more cabs called by phone then I've taken, not hyperbole). But the value of some unified dispatcher framework, with penalties for abandoning customers probably isn't in the tens of billions. Maybe in the hundreds of millions? Either self driving cars change everything, quite quickly, or some people are going to lose a lot of money.
You're grossly overestimating executives and decision makers at the company. In my experience, vast majority of them are hacks and imbeciles, often very good at navigating company politics and not much else. And I'm talking about CTO level. The world is filled with terrible managers that ruin companies, and good developers are first to leave, because their input is ignored or they can sense the pointlessness of the situation and can afford to look for better opportunities.

"consults with their subordinates to create realistic objectives" - in over 20 years of professional career I have yet to see this happen.

This is exactly faulty set of assumptions being challenged here.

Not everyone gets that $150K offer, and that's increasingly true the further you are from a healthy white middle-class male.

Not everyone wants to move to the Bay Area and unless you're a friendless orphan the further that move is, the more travel expenses you're taking on.

Not everyone has family who are completely self-sufficient and will never need help. (Speaking personally from the “parents have never helped with rent; have helped parents with rent” club)

Not everyone can find 5 roommates they're comfortable with, an $800 car at all much less one that runs perfectly with no maintenance costs as you're assuming. In reality, most people buy newer cars because it's better to have a fixed bill than deal with the missed work and random thousand-dollar service bills which you tend to get with $800 cars.

Not everyone's health is compatible with living on canned chili and even if you don't have any long-term issues, you'll probably want to get some basic nutrition before you develop some.

If this actually worked for you, great. All we're saying is that you should be less quick to forget that other people had it harder. I think that's especially true because when I think about the people who over-spent, they were never starting poor — they grew up comfortable and never had to worry about true disaster.
It's a pity that I skipped the HTC 10 and transitioned directly from the HTC One M9 to the Galaxy S8. It seems to be a well-supported LOS device, and I could probably still be using it happily. I still love the way it looks--I have no idea why everyone moved away from the metal back to glass when half of them don't even support wireless charging.

Replace "competition" with "user" and you have a point.

But what I mean is that if it takes only an afternoon to replicate 95% of what this tool offers, then a competitor could knock it out and start charging $10, or $5, or $1, or heaven forbid, release it as a free tool.

If that happens, the only people who are going to pay $20 are those who have no idea that the other tools exist.

There are certainly companies who operate solely on marketing power and get people to pay for things they could otherwise get for free -- see ProPublica's TurboTax investigation -- but for a tool like this, I can't see how it could work out in the long term.
We arguably have that in the Prius Prime, or had that in the recently discontinued Chevy Volt.

I think the marketing and design is tough.

So far, there really isn’t an electric car market in North America. There is a Tesla market—they sell well, but basically every other electric vehicle is sold at a substantial loss and in tiny volumes to satisfy various government mandates. In my opinion, people buy a Tesla because they are buying a Tesla, and then people can see you driving a Tesla. Same thing we saw with hybrids. There is a Prius market, because you are obviously driving a hybrid car with brand recognition, and otherwise nobody is buying the Honda Insight or hybrid Camry.

And I think it’s tough to market, quickly, how a plug-in hybrid works. It is not the simplest drivetrain, and trying to explain to people when you have to plug it in and how to get the best electric mileage and yes the engine will run occasionally and yeah that’ll be weird when it kicks in...a pure electric car is just conceptually easier to understand.

My initial plan was to integrate with Pocket (which I love). I have some ideas for how that would be done.

Building this was more about learning how to build a chrome extension, but I think this might work even better as a tool on top of pocket. Given the interest this is getting + the other conversation about bookmarks I might take on the Pocket+ thing next.

Thanks for checking it out!
I have no issue with them not being available and having rates go up. that is what they system should do. I know uber/lyft drivers that turn off the app after drops off in areas they like being so that they don't get prompted to take a nearby fare.

I do find it annoying that these drivers are upset at the fees. Look, before then all you could do is work for a taxi service and they make uber and lyft look like saints for the most part. you are free to work for whomever you want and you got into the deal knowing what it was.
Thanks. I'm sure I had read that before, it's surprising that I didn't notice that yet.
Reminds me when you start working on a side project, get a PoC working on the weekend (like a to-be application/website that for now kinda works on the command line), and tell yourself "alright, the hard part is over!"

Then you realize you only finished the 0.01%.

That's about where IRC seemed to have stopped. "We're done. The clients can do the hard stuff that users actually want."
My Toyota "grays out" all Bluetooth options other than "choose from paired devices list" while the car is in motion, deliberately. Coming to a stop re-enables the other options, though, at least making the cause obvious. BMW is absolutely making the right decision here, but apparently communicating their reasoning poorly.

Community college is a great deal. But $12-15k for a bachelor's degree, not to mention any hit to income because your work availability is limited when attending school and doing assignments, is not something every person can wave off as no big deal. That assumes the community college offers a four year degree and is within reasonable travel distance (oh, you do have a car, right? Because that college might not be on the bus route you take to work). If you have to move to attend college, you sacrifice whatever job you currently have, plus all the expenses of moving (but apparently we're expecting them to move across states anyway)

Along with that job, we then talk about health insurance. It's great if you are young enough and have parents with insurance that you can be on, but not one of those criteria can be assumed, so if you aren't working a full-time job, you will have limited access to health-care (plus the issues of paying for it if you have access).

Just because some of the high end cost estimates can be undercut doesn't mean there isn't considerable expense and threat.
Now if I could find a working ROM for my Landvo V1 (failed rooting)... That would be a nice thing to play with
I believe being anti social and lacking confidence has been advantageous to me. When i was in college, i was hesitant to go out due to low self esteem and depression. So i would spend my time alone while others had a social life. But during times like semester examinations, i was able to study with no distraction.

They follow the narrative that the reason for Assange being handed over to GB is not cleaning up after his cat. This was brought up by Ecuador. You can decide for yourself which of these explanations you think is most likely:

- Ecuador wanted an IMF loan (and got it after handing over Assange)

- Wikileaks leaked documents about corruption of Ecuadors president

- Assange didn't clean up after his cat and that offended his hosts

All options have been brought up at one time or another. Or maybe it's something else. For lack of mind reading we'll never really know. At least not until Wikileaks provides documents about that too.
Oh no it actually just sends whatever hte link is that you bookmarked. Sorry for the confusion! What you described is actually a _really_ cool idea though haha.
Hi,

First of all many of us also feel like you in different situations so don't get stressed. I started doing 'toastmasters' a year back to improve my public speaking and in general thinking of my feet abilities and have been very transformational for me.

Ahh yes, the origin of this phrase. I still cringe every time I see it used.
Is there any effort to define a customer-facing standard for information like this?

/.well-known/location_list
/.well-known/location/<code>/open_hours
/.well-known/location/<code>/phone
/.well-known/location/<code>/<other_metadata>

etc? Or even on-page microformats. Google used to do this until they got big enough that they didn't have to anymore. This would probably be the only way we could chip away at that moat, and ensure we don't fall into that trap again.
Ease of use is definitely a big factor. It would be interesting to see if it were possible to try to build a community using IRCCloud first and basically use it as "Slack but with an irc gateway that will never go away". Their free tier modalities seem a bit too restrictive to allow that though.
A lot of people seem to have a very narrow idea of privacy.

For what it's worth there were also allegations of microphones being used to record private conversations.

The release of footage from the embassy to the international media seemed a particularly bizarre way to announce to the international community that your government has pure contempt for human rights.

This is a universal unfounded assumption. Lawyers have more to do with decisions like these than data.
Ecuador isn't a single entity. Coincidentally, they've had enough after the government changed? For a slightly unbelievable reason which they've never released any evidence for? And now this low blow?
Eh--"suffering" seems a bit dramatic; as economic transactions go, the up-front price quote by Lyft and Uber makes it pretty transparent and the options available to depart DCA put an upper bound on costs. But I was more referring to how Lyft and Uber make more money off of shorter, cheaper rides. They do make more from longer rides, because of percentages, but my understanding is that volume makes them much more money and that higher prices do depress volume.
It was redhat's also, albeit, for a very short time.
That's fair. That is most of what is on my regular phone, but I also think sometimes about how very little I use those things. My primary apps are Firefox, Mail, SeaFile, KeePass, HERE We Go, and Telegram. Those account for surely 95% of my app usage and I think HERE We Go is the only one not supported in that list.

This is fine as long as they get a warrant. As long as that's not the case then such searches should be considered unconstitutional.
The original twitter post, twitter responses, and responses here made me muse about how the definition of 'start-up' has changed in the last few decades. Ennui ensued.
Because as the time is extended, the possibility for things to get critically out of balance increases, possibly exponentially.

This is not merely sitting a coated steel bar on your shelf and expecting it to not rust. It is a highly dynamic cycle of multiple feedback loops and organizims, especially the soil microbiota. Any of it goes off, and the whole thing could collapse, and it could take a long time for that to go critical.

In this very example, he presumably determined tha tit needed water after several years, but added enough to balance to system so it lasted in a sealed condition for 47 more years.
> Saudi asked Musk multiple times to take Tesla private

Do you have a source for that? All I know is that Saudis had one meeting with him where they discussed simple investment, not going private. Further, this meeting could just be them answering a request from Elon musk, and they wouldn't even be interested.
AFAIK MicroG doesn't send any data to Google unless you explicitly tell it to. Here are some situations where you might want to do that:

- You might want to enable the Google Cloud Messaging feature inside MicroG, so that your apps can receive push notifications just like they would on a regular Google phone.

- SafetyNet. If you want some app to work that requires Google SafetyNet, your phone will necessarily have to communicate with the Google servers. MicroG provides functionality to do that. (Though, if you're worried about your phone's security, I strongly advise against using this feature because SafetyNet essentially requires the phone to download and run a binary blob from the Google servers.)

- If you want to install apps from the Play Store you will have to install the Google Play Store app or at least some open-source alternative like YalpStore or Aurora Store both of which will obviously download the .apks from and therefore connect to the Google servers. However, this has nothing to do with MicroG per se.

Anyway, you decide all this for yourself. If you don't want your phone to connect to Google at all, that's perfectly possible.

UPDATE: Indeed, I just checked and found a setting in MicroG saying "Allow connecting to Google servers. If disabled, all connections to Google servers usually done by microG will be denied. This overrides service-specific settings."
"They don't age" but what causes then to only live only until "30+ years old" in a zoo?
It was created as an independent open source project, then used internally @ Tooploox, then development got sponsored by Tooploox so it does make sense from our (very subjective) pov.

But I agree AFTER it got moved to Tooploox Github it looks kinda self-serving.
To add to this, you are also removing the pesticides and antibiotics used in cattle farms and reducing land use. I can't wait until I can buy a 3 pound chub of Impossible Foods hamburger for cheaper than cow meat.
systemd was not a port of launchd, direct or otherwise. The problem with launchd being difficult to port off MacOS is one of the reasons why launchd never came about for FreeBSD.

* http://jdebp.uk./FGA/launchd-on-bsd.html

systemd was not a port of anything. And its immediate inspiration was Upstart, the system that Fedora was using at the time, and whose drawbacks provoked Lennart Poettering et al. to start working on systemd.

(Interestingly, Upstart itself was inspired by the drawbacks of porting launchd.)
My experience with Apple and Bose devices has been pretty flawless, across keyboards/mice, headphones and speakers.

I'm curious if the problems are with Android, with non-premium speakers/headphones, or a combination of the two? And why? (Is it not following the spec, bad UX, or insufficient QA/testing?)
And much like systemd or openrc, replacing PID1 (init) itself was not the point of upstart.

China for long was a phenomenal combination of size, quality, and a price for workforce you can't find anywhere.

Eastern Europe - mass higher education check, everything else no

India - size yes, but nothing else, and there is "license raj" on top of that. One sweetener is the future domestic market appeal

Vietnam - mini-China, good primary and vocational education check, size OK, industry, some leftovers from pre-privatisation era, check - pretty much same as China was in that regard.

Pakistan... very cheap for sure, existing industry is nonexistent, (though Pakistan once had a backend FAB in late eighties!) and with Rupee hitting the bottom now, you can overlook how poor the logistics will be.

I have a hard time believing that the issue is a dilution in the “quality” of scientists, but I would agree that ever-increasing competition for funds and jobs has produced some perverse incentives.

The consequences for publishing something that’s wrong but not obviously indefensible are often pretty low. On average, it probably just languishes, uncited, in a dusty corner of PubMed. It might even pick up a few citations (“but see XYZ et al. 2019”) that help the stupid metrics used to evaluate scientists.

The consequences of working slowly—-or not publishing at all—- are a lot worse. You get scooped by competitors that cut corners, and there’s not a lot of recognition for “we found pretty much what they did, but did it right.” Your apparent unproductivity gets called out in grant reviews and when job hunting. The increasing pace and career stage limits (no more than X years in grad school, Y as a postdoc, Z to quality for this funding) make it hard to build up a reputation as a slow-but-careful scientist.

These are not insoluble problems, but they need top-down changes from the folks who “made it” under the current system....
Actually the headline of this is the takeaway you should get from this story. People with safety nets are the ones who get to do startups. This is logical and how it should be. If you weren't born into a rich family, then make saving up your number 1 financial priority to build that nest egg for yourself. Even the kids from privileged families are mostly in that position because their parents made a series of good financial decisions in regards to savings.

Yeah, a lot of worker/management conflict is result of some combination of prioritizing power over efficiency (overworked workers don't have time to complain/organize), and plain old bad management. Things like long working hours reduce output, and as you say having sick people come in is also stupid.

So smart companies won't e.g. overwork their employees. But some of the conflicts are inherent in the relationship, e.g. how much money goes to workers.
I am sure Google wasn't happy about this decision either. But this highlights the overreliance on its services on almost every mobile device. Hopefully more alternatives will appear soon.

Advice hmm not sure as I’m naturally extroverted so I don’t know how to help but I feel for you. Nobody wants to feel unsure in such situations.

I wonder if self motivating mantras help, or does positive affirmations of a job well done help say from your boss or a coworker? What about mentoring someone might that help you build confidence?

Doesn't seem like that'd make much of a difference, since the "Google ecosystem" is blocked in China, so all the Chinese makers already have their own app stores, etc. The revocation may just cause the Chinese makers to internationalize and export their own ecosystems. In the end, who knows if that would hurt or help them?
