It’s difficult to try and frame this. The price of any goods with constrained supply (higher education, housing and land) tend to increase to meet people’s ability to pay.

It might make more sense to think in terms of a carbon budget if we are thinking about sustainability.

Yeah, one of those all-too-common articles with a title that's a vast over-generalization or over-simplification. Then it turns out it's trying to make a very narrow point that kind of sort of resembled the generalization but is really just some variety of nit picking or hair splitting.

Reading the other comments, it seems that this is a somewhat standard practice to file at the last possible moment? If so, could there be a possible opportunity here for a software that files right before deadline making sure that mistakes like above do not occur?

I have a program which is a right pain, and takes an hour to do a yearly task. To clean it up would take about 200 hours.

The program is unlikely to be around in 20 years time, let alone 200.

This sounds like something I might do. I am sure I am a special kind of 'date dyslexic'. I have very little concept of when things are happening. I refuse to discuss dates without my diary in front of me, because I have no concept of whether the date they gave me is weeks away or months away. If you told me now that I had to get something done by mid-November, that feels like an age away, the fact that I am on holiday for the next week wouldn't cross my mind either. I recently got undone by a calendar which had Sunday at the start of the week, visually speaking...unlike my normal Outlook calendar. It gives me a lot of anxiety, because I have some things I have to do (like authorising payroll, or filing tax returns) on certain days.

Is this a real condition, or am I just disorganised?

1. Hit print screen on your keyboard

2. Select the rectangle area that you want to capture

3. Paste it into a tweet

You don't even need an intermediate image on your computer unless you wanted to crop it before sending it to Twitter.

You may also want to consider a step 0 which is to temporarily bump up the font size in your editor to make it more readable in a tweet.

>economic crashes are caused by dead money that represents concentrated, slow one-way trade patterns. Ideally, money flows across the people with perfect inclusion and closed-loops.

I don't think this is sustainable in a complex world. Maybe a long time ago on small scales this is what economic activity looked like, but today we have huge institutions that lend and borrow across the globe in obligations that span tens of years, and that is reasonable because the kind of things we're building are so complex that those large concentrations of capital and those obligations over time are necessary.

This introduces more risk because it creates asymmetries but it also enables projects of sorts that aren't possible in some 'closed-loop' environment.
There was this amazing article in 2010 about "chemical compounds i will not work with". Tetrafluorohydrazine was one of them:

and mentions briefly that hydrazine is produced at los alamos for national security purposes.

No, there should not be street side parking on most streets as this becomes a huge hazard for cyclists with uni students randomly swerving in and out to deliver a pizza or people carelessly swinging doors open to get out of a taxi without looking.

Inside a city, for most kinds of deliveries, it would be more efficient to have people deliver by e-bikes. A bike with a trailer or large bag is an incredibly efficient way to deliver most kinds of items since you can simply pull up to the front door of the place you want to deliver to and unload the items. Sure you still have the issue with very large items but most people aren't ordering a new bed very often at all.

The best thing about Google Calendar is that it plays well with other calendars. For example, I connected my Mac desktop calendar to it, and so now it doesn't matter if I use my phone, my tablet, my desktop, my Google login, etc, all my devices have the same info that I need to access and/or modify.

I installed a home cloud, and as of yet I don't have the calendar working with it the same way. Which is to say, that cloud's calendar is gaining a layer of dust until they fix it.

Something that I use a lot: mind mapping. It doesn't even matter what software you use to do it, as long as you can drag things to different branches of the mind map as things evolve.

Mind mapping is the one thing I won't give up when it comes to planning and productivity. There's a reason "napkin" meetings end up producing bare-bones mind maps. Digitizing those maps makes them so very powerful.

I'm starting to use Anki style retention methods, but haven't done so long enough to comment yet. I'll leave that one for someone who's used it longer than I have.

EDIT: One more for the road-- I really like using Dropbox to keep all my devices in sync. I'm clearly a stickler for all of my devices being "in the know." I believe if one device gets totally trashed, I should be able to boot up just about anything else and continue like nothing happened. I shouldn't have to modify my work flow just because I'm on my phone instead of my desktop, or whatever.
A little anecdotal, but I get about 50% response rate. This includes selling weird stuff, like once I tried to sell brownies to wedding planners.

In terms of job hunting, I got about 2 out of 4 responses this way, so it's still a 50% rate. This actually landed me my first job.

This was from a few years back though. It might be harder now that everyone has automated messaging and CRMs designed to look like they're from a human being (probably illegally without an unsubscribe button).

It depends a lot on how you do it. I think the message has to hit well, it has to look personal enough, hence the screenshots have to be designed for that specific company. But done wrong, it can look a bit desperate.

You also have to find someone who can make a decision. A lot of people are terrified of this, but higher ranked people can actually forward you to the right VP in charge. We've cold contacted the CEO of the biggest media company in the country this way, and he was very happy with the meeting.

Some people prefer a wider net, like 1000 messages a day, with a 2% success rate. That's fine too. Sometimes it gets better results, because you end up with people more desperate for a solution. I just think the personal cold email method works better than cold calls, and it's a lot more fun.

For founders, personal emails help, because you can ask them why they rejected you, and that helps in improving the product or strategy.
Russia: Trump's Baghdadi victory lap is nothing but “propaganda”

Thanks for a concrete example to discuss.

In this case I'd tell the business that we can absolutely write a hacky version for the trade show, but if they want a fully performant version later, that's a separate story, and much of the work going in to the first story will have been wasted.

Maybe we don't even disagree on much there.

The scenario I had in mind was when you decide to rework/refactor some existing code because it's badly designed because of incompetent original design, changing requirements or whatever else.

To me that's just an ordinary Tuesday, all part of the work we do all the time, and nothing I need to communicate, any more than I need for when we take a lunch break.

Maybe this is the difference between thinking of the business as my "customer" rather than my "boss".
> But it isn't, due to the Android approach of piling together unmaintainable vendor junk like gpu driver and sensors on old kernel that doesn't work with FOSS gpu apis

That's not the Android approach, it's just the embedded-on-ARM approach that Android inherited wholesale. Pre-Android Linux mobile/embedded OS's were just as bad. In fact, we're starting to see some improvements. The SoC's used in the latest Google Pixel (3 and 4) phones are getting mainline support in the Linux kernel.

Java and all the performance problems from that.

Good, they aren't wanted, I don't want to have to rely on malware and proprietary messaging apps from the play store. Once you get rid of that you don't need the crazy permissions system, the users that need that permissions system don't understand it anyway.

> Is writing in Java less productive than in C/C++/GTK or whatever they use in Ubuntu?

Yes, at least when coupled with the horrible android ecosystem. Compare a hellow world app with c + gtk (https://riptutorial.com/gtk3/example/18820/-c---hello-world-...) to one in android (https://www.tutorialspoint.com/android/android_hello_world_e...).

When adding code to tweets, IMO the most important thing is legibility on all devices. That means a large font size with minimal distractions.

In the example code snippet from their site more than half of the vertical space is taken up by unnecessary details added by Carbon (huge shadows, the window icons, borders and white space). Why would you want to waste half of your image on non-code elements when the goal is to share code?
If you're using out-of-support version, you should either use a distro that backports patches or contract somebody to do the backports for you. Otherwise you're basically hanging a sign saying "please pwn me" on your site.

Yup, and legal calendaring software is a medium size cottage industry in itself. It’s fairly standard, and that this firm wasn’t using something that automatically and verifiably counts dates and deadlines correctly is ... lackluster.
Stop producing plastic bags and go back to selling soft drinks in refundable glass bottles would probably make a big dent.

The extra energy needed for glass production and transportation of heavier glass bottles would have to be factored in somewhere though.
I have to agree. The problem is Disney (a very large provider) purchased Fox (another larger provider), and then proceeded to stop supplying third parties. Perhaps not in present day USA, but in Europe this may be seen as monopolistic behaviour.

Take the example of Rupert Murdoch himself, he tried to purchase the remaining stake in BSKYB on several occasions and was blocked by the reglator who felt that plurality in the media is important. Often you make unterakings to the regulator that you will not shut out third-parties like Disney alledgedly have, in order that you can get the merger sanctioned.
This is ridiculously obvious.

I have ridden a bike pulling a trailer of 20kg up to the top of a mountain and it was quite do able but with an ebike it would be trivial. Most packages that people order are very small items that could fit in one hand and suit this method very well.

Former adtech CTO here.

I've heard this argument a lot but it's hard for me to agree.

Saying that ad arbitrage doesn't "add value" is kind of like arguing that someone with a media-buying/sales role doesn't "add value" because they're just sitting in the middle taking a paycheck/commission.

Partnering with ad arbitragers isn't much different than outsourcing internal media buying/sales roles to an agency to increase reach or fill-rate.

Your point about ads being annoying to end-users isn't unique to digital. Advertisements on all mediums have always annoyed end-users. Certain implementations like full-page takeovers & loading 100 ads on a page are the most annoying. Generally it's the publisher's fault for the bad UX.

No, because everything starts a timeline for the next thing, and the way you get the most time for the next thing (which you might need as much as you can get) is to do everything possible without penalty to do the current thing as late as possible. Just because you are ready for the current thing doesn't mean you want to sacrifice time on the next thing.

There's also interest in not giving your opponent information earlier than necessary in their cycle for things whose timing isn't keyed off your filing.
