There should be more push back against goods made in non-democratic countries like Vietnam, and not just against Made-in-China.

My previous phone was a Samsung Galaxy S5 and I was surprised to find out that it was made in Korea. Manufacturing in Korea certainly didn't seem to harm Samsung's financial prospects back then, and the phone wasn't any more expensive than its Made-in-China competitors. I have zero reservations about South Korea's workers' rights protections, workplace health and safety, and environmental regulations.

Too often the discussion becomes:

1. We shouldn't manufacture in China

2. We can't afford to manufacture in US/EU

3. Let's just manufacture in Vietnam/Cambodia/Myanmar instead

When it should be:

a. We shouldn't manufacture in non-democratic countries

b. Let's manufacture in democratic countries instead
There's lots of applications -- how about a motion sensor to tell you when there's a person on the other side of your door -- and since it's modeled off of humans, it's immune to false signals from cars or animals.

And since it could use your existing home Wifi as the source signal thus the sensor would be receive-only, it could be very battery efficient so could last a long time on battery.

Why not try offering a free version for a while and seeing what people find most useful about it? You can give away a lot to build a customer base.
Seriously, the GP comment makes me wish I had a job to offer, not just due to sympathy but because any 18-year-old who is even sort of managing to tackle that problem and also knows that lack of VC is a serious red flag is probably worth an interview.
Maybe Tesla is coaxing insurers into disallowing claims when using summon. This would the force Tesla customers to switch to Tesla insurance.
Nobody. Perhaps you want to be laid off when you know your employer may be about to lay off some employees, you'll have an easy time finding a new gig, and the severance will be nice. But if you want to quit, then quit, and whatever else you do, don't get yourself fired for cause, ever.
Right. The US only. Well, also Japan. Also, Korea. I guess also much of Europe too. Or Canada. But, yeah other than that. Which I guess is really just India and China. So I guess the reason is median/mean income??
> The "if teachers aren't paid well, why aren't we seeing more of them quit?" is a lousy point. Some jobs are simply more important than others, and its jobs practitioners know that. They are less likely to quit.

They reaaaally like to pull the guilt card every chance they can too. 'Think of the children!', 'If you quit, who will be there for these kids?', etc..

I don't know that removing a lot of the guilt would make teachers quit more, but I do think they would quit bad school environments more in favor of better ones, but they don't want to abandon the kids.
> So you clearly don't fully grasp the political climate in the US, but you feel you're somehow qualified to dictate America doesn't have a left?

No, I very much do. However, I don't know their specific positions well enough to offer an educated opinion. Maybe you'd like to? I try not to speak to things I don't have sufficient knowledge of. I also didn't realize having an opinion counts as "dictating" -- I was pretty sure it fell under the free speech umbrella ;)

> Communism is not "inevitable"

That's not communism, I suggest you fetch a dictionary. It's not communism any more than the monthly check everyone in Alaska (a republican stronghold) receives for their oil revenue. It's not communism any more than the right wanting to streamline administration of social programs by cutting people a check in lieu. But either way, I'm curious what you suggest we do with the people we don't need doing jobs.

> No, civil rights are a left position, in actuality, a democratic republic such as the US should have some mix of both left and right policy to function freely, it is not the other way around.

Which exactly civil rights do you think are a left vs right instead of a table stakes position?

I am skeptical of the "wild west free speech utopia" as a lot of people seem to conceive of it, because some forms of speech have chilling effects on others. For example, if I pass a group of angry people chanting "blood and soil", I'm certainly not going to say or do anything that makes me legible as Jewish.
I'm glad you wrote this article because I think people should put themselves out there more (myself included). By doing so, you open yourself up to feedback, both positive and negative, that can help you improve. You have a good example of this with your 9/29 update.

In the spirit of constructive criticism, I second the "not really good testing" feedback, mostly due to the lack of tuning effort and omission of performance-affecting details like configuration, the wire protocols used, how data is being serialized/deserializaed, etc. (though I am no expert with these technologies so some of this may have been implied). All of that may have been overkill for what you were trying to do, but it's what people look for in benchmarking / "good testing". I hope this helps.

Of course, there’s a chance people are just being polite and I should replace it anyway, but it’s a small room and half the time I’m alone in it anyway.

Business strategy question. It seems like there will always be a conflict between the US view of censorship (bad!) and the reality of trying to operate in China's huge market (comply or be booted, basically)....

Is that good cause to create a separate brand or subsidiary so the reputation damage of having to comply with this stuff (you know they got nudged) doesn't hit home on the US brand?

Just seems like you're going to have a rough time if you're attempting to service both markets under the same brand...

Amazing, truly, but ... don't get the early version of a new model. I got one of the very early (RWD, 2012) Model S. It was awesome, but it had a far amount of birthing problems and thankfully I live close enough to the service center. However, I really wanted AWD so I swapped it out in 2014 and I haven't had almost no problems with it since.

Compared to the (notoriously reliable) Subaru Impreza WRX I drove for 10 years prior to that, there are no regular oil changes, etc.

I do spend more on tires now :(
"All Geosciences Australia maps that are currently printed will be available for free download, ... those who still wanted to print maps on paper could do so of their own accord."

His point is that a phrase like "this [teacher|nurse|officer] only makes xx" can be deceiving when the local economic context is not taken into account. Cost of living is not equal.

To give an analogue example : the same mechanism applies, in an exacerbated way, across countries. Comparing salaries of Americans with those of -for example- a Frenchman will not take into account that healthcare and education are much more expensive in the US.
Retail stores put high-margin items in key locations (next to checkout, at eye level, etc.) or companies actually pay for these spots. In a company kitchen/snack area, why not put the healthy options there? Everyone still makes their own decisions, just like anywhere else. Isn't this optimization more in the employees' interest than putting the cheapest items there (e.g. soda)?

(I'm at Google. I think these kinds of nudges are mostly good. Though it's certainly something to joke about.)
> That said, Apple is the least of all available evils. When something better comes along, I'll leave. If that thing already exists, please let me know so I can begin the process.

This is chicken and egg problem. Companies that develop privacy-oriented devices have to sell very experimental devices for premium price because they neither have production batches large enough to bring price down nor they have enough money to invest into UX. So they can never appeal to mass market.

There is already a company selling desktop hardware that is closest to being backdoor-free [1], there is a phone with isolated baseband [2] and even some experiments with ARM-based laptops [3]. And actually many more examples can be found around internet, but they not going to magically release Apple-grade product.

trump seemingly can't get anything done. So this isn't surprising.
Employer making me choose between career advancement and LOB success and then tying my job security to the latter.

I usually have comparable or better options available at any given time due to the sheer number of recruiters who are constantly floating things my way.

An up-to-date, relevant skillset is worth a potential 5 figure pay bump in the near future, which tends to be much more lucrative than slightly increased job security at my current pay rate.

They usually get one screw-up before I skip out for a better paying gig.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Have more than tripled my salary in the last 6 years hopping around like this.

But honestly, I'm also just not a fan of management styles which attempt to extract additional value via appeals to fear.

Usually if I see workplace management react to crunch time by letting shit roll downhill while making negative implications about how resistance might impact job security, that instantly puts me in job hunting mode.

I might stick around for a bit to help out people on my team that I actually like, but at that point I'm already mentally checked out and looking for my next gig.
My wife spends most of her summer 'break' working, including multiple weeks of it being required to be in the classroom or at district offices.

Additionally, during the week, she works waaaay more than 40 hours a week, so even the time during the summer she isn't working I think is really just averaging out from her overtime during the school year.

I wouldn't have a problem with her pay if she actually worked as much as detractors seem to think all teachers do, but her pay:time ratio is awful.
Same could be argued about much worse ideas, ideas where people historically shied away and tried to control at least a bit of the context in which these ideas fell.

The whole developement of nuclear weapons is a story of the when, of the how fast and of the should I and would have looked certainly different if it’s protagonists all had based their decisions on the ethical rationalisation you proposed here. Who knows, maybe even the Germans would have gotten nuclear weapons?

The hard question obviously is: where do you draw the border? If you invented the paperclip and it was beeing used in the holocaust’s bureaucracy blaming you would be a bit far fetched. If you invented the gas showers of the KZs whose only purpose it was to mass-kill prisoners, not feeling ethically responsible would be totally mad. In between there you have got Werner von Braun with his V2 rocket, which isn’t exactly easy to judge. He enabled space travel, yet the bombs killed many british civilians quasi randomly and out of the blue and the number of slave workers killed during construction was even higher than the number the rocket killed.

Inbetween these three examples there are infinite shades of ethical dilemma while your argument paints this as a binary question about whether something could or should exist or not — and if the answer to the could is True, who cares about the answer to the should, right?

I propose something else. If you value your own intellect you should abstain from ideas that could be, but shouldn’t and rather attack things that could be and should be or maybe even things that should be, but couldn’t by the thinking of today.

We engineers, scientists, thinkers and artists are giving birth to things that become reality, but it is our indivisual decision if we do:

You will rarely find a writer telling you he had to write that dehumanizing dangerous text, because if he wouldn’t have done it somebody else would have. We can stray farther from this even and paint an example where a old lady collapses at a bus stop. Now you could have someone robbing her as she lays there (”If I wouldn’t have done it someone else would’ve”). Or you could have somebody going for first aid and calling the ambulance (”If I wouldn’t have done it someone else would’ve”).

The statement “someone else would’ve done it” is not really a ethical reason to do anything. The question you should ask yourself is: in what kind of society do I want to live and do my actions contribute to it and if so at what cost? What if everybody acted like I did?
I've actually come to the conclusion over the years that automation is a form of optimisation, and that all of the rules of optimisation apply in full force.

Do you need to process a list of 10,000 things, once a day, forever? Then you do need to automate.

Do you need to process a list of 100 things, once? Just roll up your sleeves and start typing (or get someone else to do it). The chances that you could come up with something remotely reusable in less than the two minutes it'd take to do manually are slim to none, yet I have often seen people spend a couple of hours coding up a script to do a 15 minute non-recurring job.
In certain fields, such as oncology, the control group receives the "standard of care," that is, the standard drug of choice. Even for terminal stage cancer, I believe such trials are ethical because there is no guarantee that the new drug is going to be more effective or even not kill you.

The control group doesn't need to be treatment-free.

What really gets my goat...

Working for a boss who's a dangerous cocktail of arrogance, incompetence, and is self-conscious of it. He's the kind of person who keeps a copy of Steve Jobs' biography and The Design of Everyday Things around his desk. If you ask him a yes-or-no question he responds with, well that depends. And if you ask him to clarify be prepared for a journey through tales of the south, hippie communes, anthropology, and how it all relates to the tragedy of choice and material design. He has an opinion about absolutely everything. He always tries to get the last word. He gives speeches about failure way too much. And if you get on his bad side be prepared for a word-tsunami. You will know it's coming because you can hear him typing furiously from across the office -- the little typing notification flickering on and off in Slack for ten minutes while he composes the final word.

He's the kind of person who will swear he's your friend and has your back. And in one on ones he'll make you feel like people are saying things about you. He'll put you down in front of your direct reports. Will insist on winning an argument even if he's obscenely, incontrovertibly wrong because he's too embarrassed to admit he doesn't know. He once told me that I wasn't using abductive reasoning and if I was smart I would be able to figure it out. I had asked him if we could cut one or two columns from a table in a view so that we could ship on time with a nice user experience after patiently explaining why. And he collected negative feedback from people about my work, without telling me, in order to throw me under a bus at an important meeting with advisors. Then he rolls with my ideas as if they were his own.

> 6. You need an annual HIPAA training program to remind everyone of a lot of the above

When you say 'need' do you mean 'legally required to' ? I wonder if that could work to the advantage of the poster, in that if they left because they became aware that things are not being done correctly and they have never had any such training, the legal responsibility would reflect back on the employers who had not provided such training to an obviously inexperienced employee and the CEO in particular who is the person who should have known to do that.

I am not in the USA and I think the UK has slightly better employee protections and lines of legal responsibility, at least in some areas (such as Health & Safety) but who knows..
It doesn't make it impossible, but it makes it a lot harder ($$$). Checking at least the root DNSSEC prevents them from setting up a simple proxy to their own DNS resolver. They instead have to inspect each UDP and TCP packets, determine which are DNS related, if they are for root, or any other server that has DNSSEC implemented, you pass them through.. you can proxy what's left. One of those smells a lot more expensive than the other.

Again. I'm not comparing this to DoH, but to only using your ISP's DNS resolvers. To me it still seems like an improvement.

I wish American companies would focus on finding ways to bypass China's censorship rather than complying with it.

When Google first acquiesced to China they made a mistake and set a bad precedent. They should have rather focused their China business on building search engine and tools that would work around China's firewall. I don't think there is an obligated to adhere to laws when those laws conflict with human rights.
That’s good advice if you have the credit to get a balance large enough to cover a month’s worth of spending, but not everyone does.
