All: Family member recently diagnosed with Early Onset Alz Disease. Articles like this excite us and we desparately want treatments to work (including the hyperbaric chamber, stem cells, dietary changes, the works, etc), but can't help but think following these rabbit trails is only confirmation bias. Does anyone here know of any treatments that actually are worth exploring (ie have actually been studied, but not gained wide-spread adoption). I know this is a shot in the dark but appreciate any new research you could point me to.
Probably a bit of “honne & tatemae”
a) Model S isn't a mass market EV either.

b) VW ID.4 is coming to the US.

c) There is more to this world than the US so not sure why you seem to restrict the sales there.
The bit about being promoted - I said that. And then after a couple years I quit and went back to being an individual contributor... management is not for everyone.

EDIT: Maybe I should say, not every promotion is a positive step...
It's not ISP's business to spy on and modify any requests. Their business is to provide connectivity. Period. People can use antivirus and specialized blocking on different level if they need to block something.

So they have competition now, and they're spending more than they're making.

What are they spending it on? Maybe they're spending it on the same aggressive growth without which they'd never have achieved the head start they have now?

I'm not a Tesla owner nor a Tesla fanboy and my original comment was meant to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, but I have to say that your comment seems to me to be dripping with narrative.

Anyway, we will see, won't we? I've got my popcorn ready.
> What even is the point of secure boot when your entire goal is to run arbitrary kernel mode code?

Err, it's code I wrote, or code I am likely to be familiar with? My issue isn't with the feature of driver signing but its application. I can choose to be in test signing mode on Linux or not, and if I am, it doesn't gimp the system in arbitrary ways.

Look again, Windows is like a black box over a rewritten Unix kernel. It's kind of funny. It took a while for it to click.
Go to the Southern Hemisphere, the stars are still epic there.

Story Time: I'm from Australia, but didn't got for almost 10 years. I lived in the Yukon, roamed all of Alaska, etc. etc.

When I got to Australia after 10 years I walked outside in the middle of a city of 50,000 people and almost fell over the stars were so bright and colourful and (seemingly) close. They were so good, in fact, I took photos right there in the middle of that city that are better star photos than anything I have ever taken in Yukon/Alaska.

If you're still in doubt, go to Australia!
Always wanted to have a relatively light-weight dual screen laptop. Asus Zenbook Pro Duo is too over-powered with that GPU and large body. I want something light and preferably fanless.

However, while the Surface is certainly light-weight enough, it is too small when you type on the keyboard. Being just barely larger than a large phone is insufficient, in terms of both screen space and keyboard space. I can't type on so small a keyboard without giving myself wrist pain. It just doesn't seem like a serious laptop replacement.
VW ID.3 looks similar to the Golf which is a massive seller so I wouldn't assume your particular tastes are representative of everyone.

And in many places e.g. EU the Tesla charging network isn't a huge advantage as you have superior alternatives e.g. Ionity.

Dropbox recently had some backlash, mostly due to them updating their OSX software that installed a new file manager without the user's explicit permission.

Not sure if it's related, but they've had some issues with their tech stack lately

honest question: do you think $23B interest is just "making a living"?

because if not, then you acknowledge there's an opportunity to charge a teeny bit less, and maybe not move in to an uber chic building, to completely maximize potential profit according to the altar of profit-seeking.

hell, according to this whole "efficient allocation of resources" "hypothesis" we should have long ago arrived at a point where the only way for these poor, poor banks to make a nickel is to massively innovate on risk models, technology, etc. because there's so much money (=> competition) that hundreds of firms are competing by lowering interest rate and there's barely any revenue to be made to pay for things like employees and computers.

so why aren't we there yet?
How do you go about trying to track the conversion rate on organic advertising-cum-Reddit post? It seems like it'd be impossible without the consent of Reddit.
Maybe I missed something obvious but what are the ranks based on?
Feedback:

It says any level can be beaten in one shot. Okay challenge accepted. Give me a quick way to reset if my first shot fails. (or if there is, make it more obvious please)

I love how fast it loads and how seamless it is. I love love love games that don't have level transition screens.

Okay I think I figured out how to reset. Hold down tap when not moving. But it doesn't reset the shot count. Why not??
By “this sort of company names” do you mean using common nouns with little to no relation to the company’s line of business? If so, that’s not exactly new: Apple, Amazon, Alphabet, Intel, Oracle, etc.

The difference here is just that Meteor isn’t as popular as the above. But the above weren’t popular at their origins either (with the exception of Alphabet, perhaps).

Seems like the real issue here is that Meteor does not have instant brand name recognition... which isn’t really an issue.

Saurav - love the category and what you're building, and I'm an active practitioner doing 1-2 calls per month. Any way you'd consider remote, or plans to open an SF office?
It isn't just about cash flow, but both cash flow and earnings matter. Their cashflow has improved to the best state that it has been in since the company was founded.

Their other issues are a combination of scale and fundamental business issues with selling cars. Other manufacturers have profitable dealer networks selling their cars. Tesla has a money losing sales and service network. Some of this is due to their relatively small scale, but some of the problems are deeper than that, unfortunately.
Since there's very little light hitting the person at any given point during the taking of the picture, they're usually visible as a very faint blur, or just not at all.
I mean my N is about 150 (the number of teachers I know personally regarding their living situation) and all but a few are married to a high earner or are supported by high earning parents. The rest have either been teaching for 30+ years and got lucky enough to buy a house way back then, and one of them is married to a cop and together they make a decent wage because he has a good union.

There's only one that I know that is single and without support, and she lived with me because we rented her a room at 1/2 normal rents until she could afford to buy a condo.
All this means is we get a conservative spin on the question rather than the usual liberal one. I am yet to find in life a simple, one sided answer to a complex question.

I know what you mean! In my approach, the ORM would be in the infrastructure layer - I'm assuming I will have to switch it out, if I'm using one at all.

It's the times where I have to migrate from one implementation of an interface to another where I have learned the most, usually meaning "I let the structure of this database get reflected too much in the business logic"/
No one is wholly trustworthy. That's why every additional option is a good option.
For the first ~10 years of existence they were barely a company. That Tesla has almost nothing in common with today's Tesla, not even Elon Musk. Not sure time since incorporation is the best metric.
What you're looking for is "Hard Mode" which you can access in the menu. Good luck ;)

As for the reset not resetting the shot count: that would be too easy!
If you have been following tech news in the last 20 years, you'll know that ANY time Apple slips up in ANY way the world never seems to forgets it.

Samsung, for example, could literally nuke a small country into oblivion and it would be forgotten within a month, whereas even post-apocalypse humans will begrudge Apple's removal of the headphone jack.
More accurately the United Kingdom. Great Britain is just the island (England, Wales, and Scotland).
It's both easier and more trendy to launch it just for women and exclude men.

Someone should make something similar for men though. Though, I would imagine it would be more difficult.
We got the news within 12 hours. Right now massive amounts of data is being collected, and eventually it will get out.

This seems like it'd all be a lot easier to control without technology.

I really liked the Windows Phone UI too - but christ it was buggy! In true old-school Windows fashion, it frequently crashed and required a reboot.

When Windows Phone died and I switched to Android, the UI didn't feel as intuitive as the Windows one did. And of course it doesn't help that Google change the UI, in particular the settings, all.the.time.
Angular size is key. When I'm on my desk I have multiple screens that cover about twice as much as my laptop when I'm working away from my desk. Since the screen is closer, I can increase it's density and then I have almost as much real estate as on my desk.

Not sold on this reasoning.
I do believe that all competitive advantage is temporary and that better offerings are to come from a variety of players...
However, there is simply nothing close to Tesla on the planet today. It will be some time before others can catch up. They will. It is inevitable. Right now, Tesla has something others are unable to produce.
The dirty secret here is that all of these projections are a combination of utter bullshit, smoke and mirrors, wishful thinking, and bad statistics. And everybody involved on both sides knows this. The key thing, from what I can tell, is that you put the effort in to come up with numbers that look vaguely realistic, but yet sell a story that is investment-worthy.

All of that said, if you really want to try and do some kind of semi-meaningful estimation, I'd suggest reading How to Measure Anything by Douglas Hubbard, and then think about what data you do have access to, and what nth order effects you can use in a model, and what analogies you can construct.

For example... if you're creating something completely new, for which you really have no way to estimate demand, do something like this: Start with the population of the geographic region where you intend to sell your product/service... let's say it's the US, and the product is potentially of interest to all adults. That's around 327 million people or so.

Now, figure out what existing "thing" is closest conceptually to filling the same niche as your "thing". An example might be when TV was invented, they could have used radio as an analogy. This is not precise, but it doesn't have to be. Find the market penetration percentage for the analogous item, and assume approximately the same percentage of people would want/need what you're selling. Do the math, and call the output your Total Addressable Market[1].

If you can't find something that's a good analogy (or a bad analogy that's not so bad as to be completely unusable) then you could try other ways to get an approximation of the potential demand. It's old-school and potentially expensive, and probably not very accurate, but you could try a survey of the relevant population. You could also do the "landing page only" thing, run highly targeted ads, and see how many "conversions" (sign-up for your launch mailing list, etc.) you get and approximate from that. You could do pre-sells where you actually sell the thing before it's built. If you're confident you can ship, this could be good because it gives you $$$ to work with. But if you spend the $$$ and don't ship, giving out refunds could leave you fucked.

Anyway, there's a lot of stuff out there on this. Jump on Amazon and find a used copy of an old "marketing research" textbook (or get it off a pirate e-book site) and read through that. There is some semi-legitimate stuff you can do, but don't obsess over trying to get "real" numbers. Something reasonable, combined with bullshit, smoke and mirrors, wishful thinking, and bad statistics should do the trick.

To reflect your pedantic efforts: does it matter in _this_ discussion? Colloquially they are the same thing when not having a technical discussion.

[Brex co-founder]

We’re incredibly excited to announce Brex Cash!

Since we started Brex, my co-founder Henrique and I had much bigger plans than only corporate credit cards. Business bank accounts are a pain for virtually every company for a long time, and for the last 18 months we embarked on a journey to build a banking experience that, coupled with the Brex credit card, is 10x better than anything out there.

Alan Kay used to say that if you’re serious about software, you should make your own hardware. In fintech, I believe the equivalent analogy is: if you’re serious about financial services, you should build your own infrastructure. At Brex, we have a strong belief that great financial products innovate at the core, and not only at the UI layer. So instead of relying on existing banking systems to build Brex Cash, we took the approach of building our core systems from scratch, building directly on top of the payment rails (NACHA and FedWire). This level of autonomy with the technology stack enables us to do amazing things like instant onboarding, making funds available instantly, charging no fees on wires/ACH (given our more efficient cost structure), and deeply integrating with the Brex card. And at the UI layer, we packed all of this into a user experience that is minimal, polished and designed to save companies time and get them back to running their business.

We also wanted to make business banking better in all aspects - not only on software. We noticed our customers raised millions of dollars and kept the money parked in their checking accounts, earning no interest. A 10x better experience meant offering the highest yield on their money and, to achieve that, Brex Cash became not only a complex technical challenge, but also a financial/regulatory one. The way most fintechs offer banking services without having to be regulated as banks is by “reselling” another bank’s products and bolting a UI on top of the bank’s checking/savings account. But because traditional banks separate checking and savings accounts, customers earn a lower yield on their money as a whole. Instead, we chose a different structure: customers put their cash into Brex Treasury LLC, a registered broker-dealer affiliate of Brex Inc., that invests the cash in low-risk securities, such as U.S. Treasuries.

The reactions of our early Brex Cash customers have been overwhelmingly positive, and we believe we’re on the path to build the best bank account replacement, not only for startups but for any business in America. Personally, I’ve been dreaming about this product since I was 16 years old building my first company in Brazil, and I’m incredibly proud of the Brex team for their hard work to make this dream a reality :)

We’d love to hear your feedback!
Get amped up about the business domain.

Learn by watching and being inquisitive, but do not judge publicly.

Don't advocate for what you perceive could be better about anything the company, team, or even individual does until you understand how the current situation evolved.

You want to be seen as someone who notices real problems the business faces, rather than trivial concerns which some new hires tend to point out in a wholesome attempt to display their knowledge to the new team on day one.

Let your previously acquired experience come to be known over time through action.

They are hiring you to participate in the production process and they are expecting a burn-in period. You should identify how you can shorten that period to a minimum to begin delivering value quicker than expected for the average new hire.

Be genuine.

Good luck!
Lots of other reasons too, like fears of being driven out of town and having to abandon any physical goods and stores, not being allowed to own land (so no farmers), not being allowed to join many craft guilds....
I never really saw it, until I was about 18 and spent a weekend in the Swiss Alps. That was in the mid-'80s. I'd seen it as a dim smear before, but not in its full glory. It looked like the pictures. I wished I could jump on a spaceship and just head out there.
Naming things is hard, and you've highlighted a few of the most common traps people fall into. However, Meteor looks like a fine name.

Can common words in widespread use be trade-marked? Yes, but it can be annoying sometimes (see for example the legal troubles Apple encountered).
That linked article mainly consists of direct quotes. Your opinion of the website is irrelevant to the facts.

Ah, I forgot that the galaxy rotates as well. That definitely makes things a bit simpler.
Probably because they're worried (somewhat legitimately) about more currently pressing issues.

I have no hard evidence to back up my assertion. It's just my feeling after observing the path our societies are traveling. I really hope I'm dead wrong on that.
"management isn't really a promotion" from people who went into management and saw their responsibility (and compensation) very quickly outpace the people stayed as corporate code monkeys.
Good, we are being invaded need to take unprecedented steps to confront the invasion.

Do you genuinely think the Dropbox CTO resigned because of some complaints about an app dialog.

There’s actual data on both points you make. These anecdotes and conjectures are not very valuable.

There are high quit rates in other industries that would have the same loss of potentially awesome staff as well. Why do teachers quit so infrequently compared to other professions? Maybe it’s because it is a low risk job with really unusual benefits (2 months fixed leave every summer).

Lots of people work for jobs that they love, it’s not unique to teaching. Comically, love of job drives salary down because it increases supply. If teachers hated their job the salaries would go up because it would decrease supply.
Interestingly enough, Intel stands for "Integrated Electronics" (nothing to do with Intel(ligence)).
> Maybe they're spending it on the same aggressive growth

They have cut back drastically on capital expenditures.
I've seen databases of nearby stars, with just the 3D coords. Biggest I think had 100,000 stars.

I don't think we have detailed data for the 100 million stars of the entire Milky Way.
Porsche Taycan can charge at up to 270kW and they are working on a software update to bump this up to 400-500kW. The Model 3 can charge at 250kW.

And not sure why you are comparing the Model 3 to a Taycan as they are completely different segments.
It almost feels like Microsoft is conceding the server market, recognising that the ride of cloud computing has been a real boon for Linux - they're putting all the tools in their desktop product to make sure engineers can work easily with Linux, without actually needing Linux to do it.
Efficiency doesn't mean lowering total waste and often creates more.

Reducing is strategic. Efficiency, such as bio-degradable straws and most newer technologies like you described, is tactical.

I covered this in part in my podcast "episode 183: Reusing and recycling are tactical. Reducing is strategic": https://shows.pippa.io/leadership-and-the-environment/episod....

I'm sorry you think reduction is misguided. Your appeal to human nature opposes hundreds of thousands of years of human history before the past few thousand.
This is kind of a nit-pick, but aside from what others have mentioned, your font for large and bold text (e.g. "As a woman over fifty...") is hard to read (and my vision is good). I'd suggest something clean, straight, sans-serif, and easily recognizable. Helvetica is probably a safe bet, though I'm certainly not a designer and am approaching more from a standpoint of legibility than usability.
There are Christians today that still uphold the rules in the Old Testament (e.g. not eating pork), as early Christianity still followed Judaic law before straying away from those teachings.
"I know a person" is a typical response from the noveau pseudo scientific trans movement, no one really understands this condition yet, and hopefully science can figure it out, although science around this topic has been shut down by the "progressive" movement.

https://www.brown.edu/news/2019-03-19/gender
'non-trans' works fine and is clearer to most people. 'cisgendered' is also correct, but it has political connotations, eg 'cishet scum'. WikiPedia has some good references: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cisgender
I would guess one niche is people that wanted the 7 inches tablets and ipad mini to succeed more. They opted for cellular models, and would have prefered to be able to message and take calls there, getting rid of their phone altogether (that’s one less device to care about).

Another niche is people who used their phone mostly as a notification device, but switched to the watch for that, and now are frustrated by the tininess of the phone as they use it more and more for “serious” business only.

I am not in any of these niches, but also feel that I am happy with a smaller phone only because I need to pocket it. If I was using a purse everywhere I’d want the biggest thing I can get away with.

Right. The government wouldn't bother collecting dna from people who have not shown up with children if that were the case. Most likely, the government is intending to do exactly what it seems like with this data - punish repeat offenders more strictly than first time offenders. ie first time you are caught illegally in the country, you are just deported. Second time, jail time ending with deportation.
The screen being arbitrarily divided into two halves would give away a huge plot element pretty quickly, if you are paying attention, as well as some smaller stuff. You aren't actually controlling Junpei, as you are led to believe for the entire game, at least, not really. You are actually controlling a girl in the past named Akane, who is seeing the world through Junpei's eyes. The trick is that Akane's observations are actually happening on one screen, while what Junpei experiences happen on the other. You would be pretty crazy to see the observations made as coming from anyone but Junpei, given the context, except the whole screen thing, even though there are weird little issues of phrasing that don't quite make sense, but if the game was arbitrarily played on two screens, it'd give that bit away.

There's also the part near the end where you play as Akane directly, and you play with the DS turned upside down in your hands, but that's more minor versus the fact that the entire game actually takes place on a meta level.
I happen to like RxBars quite a bit and was upset when they had to do that peanut-allergy-related recall a few months ago. My palette is probably unsophisticated but the taste of dates dominates the flavor and I don't mind that at all.
