Retreads don't fail any more often than normal tires. Retreads have an unwarranted reputation for falling apart and as the GP comment indicates that is pretty well ingrained in consumer beliefs.

Google "nhtsa retread study" if you want to learn more. It covers truck tires but (other than cost) there's nothing fundamentally different between those and smaller road tires.

The market for markdown editors and note-takers is already saturated. Joplin appears to have all the features yours does and probably more, plus it is open source. There are a handful of other open source Markdown editors as well for note-taking that have most (if not more) of the features you are including. I don't know why anyone would pick a subscription service when they can get the same thing for free and have access to the source code to help implement their own features. Plus syncing with Joplin can be accomplished on multiple providers like Google Drive.

Because we are a regional leader. The pacific islands most affected by climate change look to us and go 'you are rich and have the means to lead by example. Why aren't you?' and that's a valid criticism.

Or, in other better words than my own, exactly what sjy's sibling comment said.

edit: Climate change is a quintessential tragedy of the commons. It really should be our obligation to lead by example since we have the capacity to, even if our actions in isolation do not make a sufficient enough change. In fact,
I'd argue that taking a lead on it is in our best interest. It helps to cement our position as a regional leader and exapnds our soft power, which is the best way we can hold regional influence outsized to our comparitively small population.
The camera was not a priority for this mission. The small monitor camera was built and installed on the spacecraft thanks to public donations. This mission is about chemical and physical properties of the asteroid. Having a camera on it is mainly for publicity. NASA did a similar thing with the Juno spacecraft, letting people vote on where to point the camera while the main mission was to map out Jupiter's magnetic and radiation fields.

another noteworthy difference is that the look and feel of a widget is locked down at compile time in a Flutter app.

by contrast, with a native android app, the look and feel of the widget can change on an end user's device when the end user updates android on their particular device.
Presumably, they mean log into personal desktop accounts (as in "at a login prompt" or "what would change the output of `whoami`") rather than into a personal account on a website within a browser session.
Yeah, but you must also consider that there’s literally nowhere to park you car in St Pancras or Waterloo, and consider the fact that central London is incredibly prone to congestion which gives the driving less predictability.
We actually developed this feature (we call it recipe) 2 weeks ago and we're working on the documentation at the moment. Since we focus on product data, the first recipe is written for Segment Warehouse.

When users connect to their Segment warehouse, we automatically install this recipe, they can fork our Segment recipe to build their models on top of our base recipe. Thanks to DBT, we support some advanced features such as incremental materialization and since our focus is on product data, we have embedded features such as funnel & retention & segmentation.

Our product is not feature-complete compared to Looker but we're implementing features & working on stability for the last few months. One of our team members is working on automatic LookML converter to Rakam Recipe so that we can have more coverage of LookML. We will definitely focus more on Looker use-cases after this acquisition. :) Would love to talk if anyone is interested! (email is in my bio)

Eh; their site is the top hit on Google for “The Daily Mail”

I suspect most people searching using Google’s news features want news, not tabloids.

Slurping a bunch of searches for news into your tabloid site sounds like an obvious case of “gaming the system”.

I didn’t know it was a tabloid until just now, because I’ve never heard of them. I’d have been upset with the news aggregators I use if they accidentally bubbled unreliable sources to the top of my feed.

I really don’t understand the controversy.

I think London and New York will be among the few places this bears out. In Seattle many of my trips double, triple, or even quadruple in time if I try to take public transit. EG driving to the Amazon locker for a pickup takes 10 minutes, or 45 minutes by bus. The bus time is for travel time only, and doesn't include time spent waiting.

And trying to get to my SO's house by bus takes a 15 minute trip up to about an hour and a half of walking and transferring.
The point is still accidents. Serious accidents. Cars are more likely to kill or seriously injure you. Would you prefer those assholes who almost hit you were driving cars?
Depends how you define 'need', how much you can afford to spend and what your usual routes are, so I agree that generalizing is not that great, but that goes both ways.
Have no fear. With a bit of commitment and practice, you can learn to be really good with your people. Just a few key actionable skills can turn you into a great team leader. In addition to telling and reminding your people to do things, make sure you PRAISE in one way or another, after they have done what you asked them.

Here’s something I wrote recently on the key tips to becoming a great team leader: https://blog.leadingup.co/almost-everything-weve-learned-in-...

But, there's only so much reading online can help. You mentioned that you don't know how to handle various situations. You need situation specific advice, not general.

There’s a big difference between testing whether someone already knows something vs. whether they can figure it out on the fly.

The tortise-and-hare algorithm conflates the two: if you’ve already heard of it, it’s quite simple to implement. If not, it takes a flash of insight to consider having two pointers chase each other through the list, one moving multiplicatively faster than the other. I’d bet that flash didn’t come to Floyd in the first 15 minutes he spent on the problem—-which certainly wasn’t under pressure in an interview.

An aside, this seems to be a recurring theme:
Kids don’t feel like they have anonymity/a way for something not to last anymore, so they are searching out ways to get it.

I recall this being something that came up as SnapChat being valuable for, letting stuff be ephemeral.

The good part of this is kids being kids, they find ways, but I am curious if anyone else have found different examples of this type of behavior?

The only other equivalent I have seen is the large “group texts” movement for connectivity (with associated Bitmoji/memes etc)

Edit: Replaced WhatsApp with SnapChat, thanks for the correction! (Shows how out of touch I am on this stuff)

Cybersecurity in general seems to be mostly approached in an after-the-hack, damage control and -repair manner.

Actual security architecture deliberations are rare, the fundamental properties of our tools, the operating systems, programming languages and software, ignored and unquestioned.

Almost all systems are unable to provide secure modularity and resource sharing, because they simply cannot isolate and account for the effects and requirements of their components.

Since most systems we use and built on top of today emerged in the pre-internet era, they were not built with these capabilities in mind.

That’s hardly the only factor, though. How long do they last? Is getting a flat something that happens to you on a regular basis? What about savings from canceling your AAA membership and the loss of work time waiting on them? Are they as uncomfortable as they used to be?

In 20 years of driving I can count on one hand how many times I’ve gotten a flat of any kind and none of them were bad enough that I had to immediately pull over. It’s also not like I only drive 5 miles a day, I easily beat the national average in regular usage and have taken multiple 2+ month long road trips covering 10k miles at a time.

For me the value just isn’t there, but I suppose there are people who have had dozens of flats? I mean they have to exist for a reason, right?

1.5 TB ECC RAM for a start. Then the 4 Vega II GPU cards. Add to that the Afterburner card, a terabyte or more of native SSD storage, and possibly more PCIe SSD storage through MPX slot. Yeah, I think you will hit that very easily!

That law came in 1737 when there was a new theatre in town and satirists who dared to call the government silly things.

It was the moral panic of the time.

In 1959 we got the Obscene Publications Act and that got used quite a bit during the Thatcher years with a new moral panic - video nasties. Video nasties weren't just Chainsaw Massacre stuff they also had a thing to say about society.

Police raided quaint little video shops and did their best to enforce the law, sometimes getting it wrong, well, often getting it wrong.

This only encouraged the market in 'Video Nasties' so in 1984 they brought in a new law to get this moral panic under control.

You could say that the law had been updated for the medium of the era - VHS cassettes - and that they could not be bothered with the stage any more.

However, the stage is a public place, you have people congregate in an audience and they could be a dangerous rabble. In 2000 we got the Terrorism Act and that followed on from the Criminal Justice Act that had came along earlier in the 1990's to make it illegal for more than four people to get together to listen to 'repetitive beats'.

There are plenty of laws regarding what you can and cannot say online and people have been prosecuted for saying not so nice things on Facebook. You might not have to apply for a licence to run a website but that is not so enforceable when you could put your website online in a country far, far away.

Actual censorship has got a lot more refined over the decades. As has propaganda. A lot has gone on over the last twenty years of widescale internet usage, however it will be a while before we find out what this is.
This article is about teens pranking strangers (mostly) by sending them images via AirDrop. If you’re not familiar with AirDrop, it uses a combination of Bluetooth and WiFi to allow Apple users to easily share files between devices. AirDrop reception can be placed into three modes: send only, contacts only, everyone. If you don’t want to be pranked, don’t leave AirDrop reception set to everyone. Here’s an Apple article explaining it:

I’ve never had AirDrop work reliably much farther than about 10-15 feet.

Interesting, I hadn't thought of using the techniques of deterministic cryptocurrency wallets to solve this problem. I need to read more about exactly how they work.

It is also easy to solve this simply using ECC and ECDH. I just wrote a scheme on the board in the office. It might have slightly larger data payload than the deterministic wallets approach.
Abandon profitable one man company?
Hi. I have since about 5 years been running a self funded B2B SaaS, with around $150k ARR. With marginal costs, it gives an ok income. I have done all the development and sales myself - not because I like to work by myself, it's just that I haven't had a need for assistance so far.

However, I feel the market (quite niche product) is being a bit saturated and I have quite a few competitors as well which are much larger in terms of team size. Still, huge corporations choose my solution because they like it more.

Some Fortune 500 companies run it on a daily basis.

The thing is, I miss colleagues and I have lost a bit of my motivation and drive since I have come to the understanding that it won't grow much more.

That's also why I do not want to take more people on board.

I'm thinking about just quitting and doing something else or maybe joining a corporate instead (basically just to get some colleagues). Also the feeling of working for something together as a team - and the feeling of being needed. I have outside of work a social life with family and friends, but as soon as I am working I feel a bit lonely. Working in a coworking space is nice, but the problems I face now and then at work are still my own so to speak.

I do not expect an answer because I guess only me knows what I want, just wanted to see if others have been in this situation?
>There is a tradeoff between traction and (to a lesser extent) ride quality versus treadwear.

Exactly.

If you throw load range E truck tires on your compact SUV they will last until they dry rot, so a decade or so. People buy milsurp Goodyear MTRs and run them on pickups/SUVs and they last practically forever on lighter vehicles. Neither of these will do good things for handling though.

The tire OEMs could make a tire that lasted 100k and provide "tolerable" handling in normal conditions if they wanted. They don't want to because in this day and age anything that obviously trades safety for reduced cost is basically a non-starter and they don't want to get sued into oblivion.

>You could make tires out of something closer to cast iron that would wear incredibly long but have terrible traction and ride.

"sheepsfoot wheels" is the term you're looking for.
It is too obviously a great strategy to put in rail between San Jose Diridon, Los Gatos, and Santa Cruz, so let's build rail in the middle of nowhere instead.

I agree 100% and like the way you think. I'm under the impression that a lot of these additional services are just trying to skim a few dollars for people that are too naive to do a quick Google Search, or that just search in the iTunes App Store. I wouldn't be surprised to find a bunch of Joplin or Laverna source code in this app.
I tried it and thought the big benefit was supposed to be that it was offline - so you can use it without expensive roaming data, or while on a plane, in a tunnel etc.

I think this is about including AGPL code in a website that you have hosted by Square. They are probably worried that if AGPL code is included, this will result in Square sending it to browsers together along with their own proprietary code, which could be interpreted as an AGPL violation by Square.

Honestly they are probably correct to be worried about this because it's pretty unclear whether or not it would be covered. At the very least, by making it against the TOS it is clear that it's the users fault not theirs if there is a violation.

> It's always fascinating how people here generalize an entire continent's major cities by anecdotal evidence from one city.

I apologize for my misleading post, my experience is based on living in multiple major and / or university cities in southwestern Germany, 3-10 days visits to smaller and larger towns all across Europe and frequent visits to Switzerland.

> But even for Europe, saying you don't need a car is a very narrow-minded outlook.

You seem to confuse me with a no-car evangelist/fundamentalist, because I have never said that. I have merely stated that if you live in a town with some sort of car sharing and an average public transportation system, you do not need to own a car. From what you describe, I would consider the public transportation system in the city you lived in edge-case average for a 350k city, but certainly not optimal. However, a 3 mile distance to the city center (where the train station appears to be) is easily covered by bike.

> For me, getting to see a friend in the next town over (~15mi) would take me 25 mins by car, including traffic, and 1hr to 90mins by public transport. Going to work, a solid hour by car due to really bad traffic, took 90mins to 2 hrs using public transport (~30 miles).

I would also choose a car for visits to your friend. But you do not visit you friend daily, so why would you need to own a car for that? Even if you visit him weekly, car sharing might be enough, and less overhead. Your daily commute may indeed be a reason for owning a car. However, if I would have to choose between a 1h car ride to work, or a 90 min PT ride, I would still choose public transportation, for the reasons stated below (you can do stuff on PT).
