No, I think that people who have had bad experiences with their adapter are more likely to go the manufacturer's website and post comments about how it didn't work for them. If Amazon wasn't a wasteland of fake reviews, I might actually trust it more than Apple's website.
Wouldn't the proper solution be to improve the bus routes?
The questions to ask in these situations and about security policy:

1) Are you increasing user friction?

2) Have you significantly reduced the workload of the attacker?

If 1) is yes, then it should be a no-go. A certain baseline amount of user friction is necessary for security. However, any additional friction is going to result in overall worse security for the site. You want your users to be using properly implemented password vaults. Don't get in their way.

If 2) is no, or "only in obscure circumstances," then it's a no-go. Cost-benefit doesn't work out. See 1)

His piece about funding was very true. If you truly care about the community and slowly evolving things, VC may not be the right approach.

VC money is about scaling fast and colonizing. It may not be for everyone and I'm guessing tons of great products got destroyed because they tried to grow too fast before getting a product market fit.

Oh, that's why that kept happening on my Macbook pro? I thought I was loading a broken site or had too many tabs open like I always do.

For me adding "Auto Tab Disard" [1] (a Firefox equivalent of The Great Suspender for Chrome) has reduced my FF memory/CPU footprint by 10x. It defaults to 10 minutes which is usually long enough where you've mostly forgotten about the tab, then it will refresh when you focus on it. A feature fortunately becoming native to FF. I don't seem to have the previous performance issues anymore but I'll be looking for it now.

Advice (or warning?): I use Checklist Wrangler for iOS.

Checklist templates that repeat based on day of week; auto-archive after X days. Tools for organization into groups, subgroups, etc. A way to view completion over time.

I use it for daily things (daily autocreate, daily autoarchive), weekly things, monthly things, and things I do in order but without a set time (manual creation and... autocreation after completion? no i dont think that's a feature).

Wonderful app for implementing checklists and it's a cornerstone is my toolbox for making sure I'm living my life with intension.

Yet, it's long abandoned and I dont know if it's still for sale in the app store. Probably made little money in a sea of Todo apps.

Maybe i missing something but that is what i remain disappointed about in iPhone UX. I cannot find any setting that reliably makes all system font larger to point i can at least read it. Im long sighted and do not wish to reach for my glasses everytime i need to check my phone. And this issue also present on iPads as well - iOS is not friendly to those who are neither blind nor 20/20. Makes me wonder what will happen to Apples share price when they wake one day and realise that all the teenies have gotten old and buying other phones because they cant read iPhones any more.

I loved my SE (would buy another one if i could read the thing) while i had it in 2016-2017 but the screen made my eyes go downhill noticeably and the nuisance of carrying multiple pairs of glasses everywhere made me replace it for a Android phone + BigFont app and problem solved.

How can such a brilliant company(Im a mac fanboi since late 70s) still be so useless on the mobile device UX?
Interesting... It's like time is a limited resource. You just answered your question as to why people use CUDA.

All the popular frameworks run on CUDA, and from what I hear openCL sucks to use.
I couldn't make the desktop application ripping mechanic work. Apparently you need to download an ancient version which still uses AWZ3 since KFX wasn't support. I got lucky since I had an old gen one kindle on my account so I was able to download the files from my account portal but I think I would've been out of luck otherwise.

If we weren’t hacking into Yandex, I’d be asking for new chiefs at the intelligence agencies who would. What the heck of the point of an agency if you’re not gathering intelligence?
I had a terrible experience with Google maps recently. Re-routed me (and dozens or hundreds others) into a neighborhood that could not handle the traffic. Literally we are now in bumper to bumper gridlock in the tightest residential streets, with no shoulders (imagine being stuck in your driveway due to this). What's more, the "short cut" ultimately ended up feeding into the main traffic jam anyway so even in best case scenario it would not have saved time.

The real problem with the short cut is it was not announced or optioned in my g maps via Android Auto, instead given as a primary route. I noticed it was different (but started on a major highway) and didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.

Also G maps had me cross over 4 lanes of traffic in rush hour over a 50 foot distance to make a left turn. Their algo has gotten more aggressive and not for the better.

Saying “The updates do not change any of our commitments or policies” while rewriting a contract is just a contradiction.

It’s literally impossible to rewrite a contract and claim that its meaning or interpretation hasn’t changed. The way a legal term is phrased is hugely important especially when there is ambiguity.

I understand FB’s intent here and I don’t think the line is meant to deceive. For example, adding terms to the agreement that make the user’s acceptance of how they are monetized conditioned on usage (which has always been required but is now explicit) may have big ramifications for anyone wanting to sue FB for fraud or the like.

Easy to understand terms are a good thing, but I think it would be better to say something like “we have attempted to capture the same meaning of the prior policy while using easier to understand language” or the like would have been more accurate.
I can break my efforts at work into 30% (BAU), 45% (Improvements), 15% (Org contrib), and 10% (Personal growth).

I have a BAU cycle that spans a week. Every week I take on something to do (either by stakeholder priority or from backlog) and try to complete it before the release train departs. This is 30% of my work and I get 100% of it done by mid-week and put it up for review, feedback, and corrections.

The next 45% of my effort changes weekly and I try to get 90~100% of this done on time; it has its own backlog. Towards the end of each quarter this is spent in strategic planning. Towards the end of each month its spent on a mix of management work and clearing technical debt. The default state however is a focus on helping other teams and stakeholders improve. I maintain a lot of the statistical and quantitative models for other teams (segmentation, propensity, etc.), this I update in light of new data or when they become stale. I also try to automate their process continuously. I make improvements to tools, processes, and frameworks (seldom) to keep us up-to-date and get rid of things slowing us down. If there's a new tool or project, 100% effort is poured into that instead.

I usually have on-going initiatives and duties that affects our entire company and this is usually 10%-15% of my total efforts. I can't compromise here so I try to get this done 100% with highest priority.

The last 10% is personal growth, either its optimizing the way I do things, learning a new language or picking up an entirely new discipline to add to my domain/skill set (I have a comb-shaped skill structure). A good portion of it is spend on reading, writing, and practise. I slack a little here and I get 80-100% of my goals completed. This part is chaotic sometimes and I leave chaos as is but cause it to evolve.
I interviewed someone who worked in the IT department at one of the largest manufacturers of commercial vehicles, and a mainframe / COBOL shop. He described their development process. It involved printing out your source code, hole-punching the paper, putting it into a three-ring binder, and placing it in the physical inbox on the desk of the person who was assigned to conduct code review.
One can use the free Open Watcom or DJGPP to code in C or C++.

Reminded about remote diagnostics using camera https://www.wired.co.uk/article/mit-algorithm

"The algorithm can find subtle changes in motion and amplify those, too. By pointing a camera at an artery, we see the imperceptible beat of a wrist become a pounding great pulsation that's straining to burst out of an arm. The rise and fall of a breathing chest can also be turned up.

MIT computer scientist Fredo Durand predicts that his algorithm will be used primarily for remote medical diagnostics. He also imagines that structural engineers could borrow the tech to measure the way wind makes a building sway or deform slightly."
Vivek Sodera, cofounder of Superhuman, was also one of the cofounders of Rapleaf acording to (1):

Also see: https://money.cnn.com/2010/10/21/technology/rapleaf/index.ht...

From the article (10/21/2010):
"Rapleaf knows your name, your age and where you live. It knows your e-mail address, your income and what social networks you use. It knows your likes and dislikes. And it makes money by selling much of that personal information to advertisers."

(Reference 1):

https://dataweekapiworld2014.sched.com/speaker/vivek_sodera....

"..Previously he(Vivek Sodera) co-founded Rapleaf, a consumer data company that was acquired in 2013, and spun out LiveRamp, a data onboarding platform."

It would be great to hear what A16Z's position on consumer privacy is, as I am sure this is just a misunderstanding.
Huh, you think that's it? They're actually saying "mosh pits make you a violent druggie"?

That's...actually even sillier, honestly. I fuckin' loved a good mosh when I was a teen, and I was a kid who never, ever started a fight, and froze up when someone started one with me. I know the pit looks like a brawl, but at every show I went to it was more like a contact sport with no points where everyone wins. If someone fell down, everyone who saw it gathered to help them up and keep folks from tripping until they were back on their feet.

One time a flailing dude caught me in the face with an elbow so hard I staggered and saw stars. He immediately stopped, grabbed my shoulders, and yelled, "dude, are you okay?" He waited for me to nod before he smiled and went back to doing his thing. It was all good.

I know there's guys out there who jump in the pit throwing fists. I can't speak for every scene, but where I come from those guys got shoved out of the pit until they got the point. It's not about winning.
Common sense and good design will not rule over sales generation thru designed in obsolescence. I had to buy new adapter with mag-safe for my 2013 Air. Got a new MBP at work a few days later and the replaceable cable makes so much sense. Now just needs a cable maker to produce a USB-C to MagSafe cable.

Indeed, and I don't like that "design" is thrown around as a synonym for aesthetics.

For a good book about what design is: The Design of Everyday Things by Donald Norman [1].

They’re in the marketing funnel, because at one point in the past they were in the market to buy a car, and still receive VERY frequent messages encouraging thrm to continue down the sales process despite the fact they didn’t engage with any previous marketing message and bought a car years ago.
This definitely sucks. Why do you think people are buying this book? Is it required for a course?

When there is a book I need, but don't want, I'll get by with a PDF. When its a book I want, I buy the real thing, because I enjoy having it.
Just curious, what the intended use of the book is, and whether you think a similar attitude might have had any effect.

> That way it is impossible come close to a native look and feel.

What "native look and feel" are you talking about?
No, that's definitely bad design. The thing is like a bar of soap.
I think you're right. The lack of resources is a leadership issue.

The system is likely biased toward people who don't stop work. Any single decision may have a low probability of catastrophe but if you roll the dice enough times it'll catch up to you. But until it does, those types of managers will get promoted because they "get things done" (i.e. they don't stop for due diligence)
What if password fields had a "bitbucket" mode where they swallowed all input and overwrote it with "xxxxxxxxxxx"? Then instead of "a huge change" from an onblur event, when the email is checked for login type, conventional username/password users just have their password field turn off bitbucket mode. No one reveals their password to the provider. Everyone is happy -- but only in this hypothetical future world where browsers have this new functionality.
I'm the same way and most of the people I know IRL are the same way. It seems like it's only online that I hear people complain about the keyboard and the lack of ports. The biggest complaint online that I see is the physical escape key (and I'm even a developer and don't care about it) and I have yet to meet a single person who has that complaint.
Electric vehicles and hybrids use regenerative braking from the motor for a lot of their stopping power. They do still need brake work but significantly less often (100-200K mile interval vs ~50K though there is considerable variance depending on driving habits) because the friction brakes are engaged less often and so wear down more slowly.

At least where I worked, those same developers are close kin to satan to work with. Not even working together on anything. Just being in their presence.

Graceful exit for employees of failed startup
I am working on simple app to create employee profile board of shutting down startups, so their founders can share that board with network, VC to help employee get job at other startups.

Recruiters from other companies can also find people with immediate need of job which fits jobs openings.

You just signaled that you find value in the DRM'd product, even if that wasn't your intent. Why not reward creators who choose to distribute their works without DRM? I'm neither pro nor anti-DRM, but I find that people who love to hate on DRM (nothing personal towards you), never seem to be willing to take a hit when it comes to living without popular content that doesn't exist on non-DRM channels/platforms.
Exactly. In practice we spend maybe $150 a year. We have Amazon Prime video as a side effect and our cell company pays for Netflix for us. Without those two we’d maybe spend double, but we’re still so much better off this way - not least because we really only watch the stuff we actually want to pay for.
If you don't even know the difference between gangsta rap and rap in general, I'm not sure you're qualified to discuss the point.
I would like to see exactly zero regression from the current design.

I think there is a very tiny but vocal minority, particularly in the tech community, who have issues with it. Most people have few complaints if you are talking about the most recent keyboard. It may still have some room for improvement but the last couple generations of butterfly keyboard have improved each step of the way.
It is unlikely that fully autonomous cars will uese any GPS at all.

All evidence is that the market will be dominated almost entirely by Tesla. In April Tesla presented[1] their state of the art in autonomous car vehicle design.

Elon repeatedly emphasized that GPS was inadequate and systems relying on it will fail. The Tesla full self-driving computer, already currently installed in nearly all Tesla vehicles, does not use GPS data to compute the driving solution.

P.S: Keep in mind that GPS is a positioning system, not a navigation system. Navigation comes from the mapping data used by GPS devices, and as for that autonomous vehicles needn't rely on the low quality map data from Google Maps other any other provider. A massive fleet of Tesla vehicles are providing constant validation of navigable routes right now.
