Hello,

First of all, basecamp is great software but its limitations come with the simplicity of the tool.

There are many reasons but the top one which I think for which you want to switch is by using Due.Work your can plan and organize your tasks very easily even if your projects start getting bigger.

By using Due.Work,

All of the team working on a project can have his own style of managing his work for example a Project Manager spends more time analyzing the overall project progress and writing new tasks thus a "timeline view" will be more favourable to him similarly a designer or a developer in a team might be concerned with his tasks only thus he just need to open "today tasks" with "list or board view" of his choice and the system will keep remembering everyone's choice of style of work but in Basecamp it enforces the same style of management throughout the team.

Basecamp lacks some very basic features of project management like a Timeline view which is a must needed tool to analyse the overall progress/direction of the project.

In short Due.Work is similar to basecamp in simplicity but has more features which are crucial for a better project management.
> After the host's hidden knowledge has reduced the problem space from N options to 2 options, the probability of getting the car is increased from 1/N to 1/2.

No, your numbers are wrong.

In your initial choice, the probability of picking the winning door is 1/N.

When Monty opens doors so that there is a single door remaining, the probability of that door containing the prize is the complement of the probability that you picked the winning door, i.e. 1-(1/N).

So switching doors increases your probability from 1/3 to 2/3 if N=3, not to 1/2.

If N=1000, switching doors increases your probability from 1/1000 to 999/1000, and that is why increasing the number of doors makes the correct solution more intuitive for some people.
Think of how much better the world would be if half the money that went to funding this bs just went straight to refugees.
Organizational Scaling
We all have these analytics companies ranking our credit scores, social interactions, education levels, etc.. Just think of the data you could harvest from something like GitLab. The average developer does X merge requests per week. The average developer closes X bugs per week. The average developer makes X commits per week.

What's your Pendo Developer Score?
How is your comment here not toxic?
Somebody from Russia/Former Soviet Countries from Eastern Europe ABSOLUTELY NEEDS to setup a publishing company (eg. Dover Publications) to bring all of their Science/Engineering books back into print. They will do very well in today's education market where the emphasis seems to have shifted to huge tomes/useless multiple editions/pretty colouring etc. rather than succinctly presenting the knowledge itself. The Mir (and other) publishers books were huge in many countries of the world and are remembered fondly to this day.
"Haha feminists sure are dumb."

Maybe you don't understand why they chose their symbolism the way they did. Maybe you've made an unwarranted assumption about their goals or how that symbolism was interpreted 100 fucking years ago.
It is almost impossible to imagine that the writings of any long-lived society would not have ample quantities of "timeless wisdom". In fact it would be striking and unusual if it were otherwise.

Much wisdom can be difficult to stumble upon but is self-evident once known. Long-lived societies are sure to import all such wisdom from around them, then discover more for themselves over time.
I think he literally means nothing more than "Apple isn't making a car OS." Their focus is your pocket and other carry-alls, and not at all interested in your car outside of how those pocket and carry-all devices can connect to it.

Hell, their focus is only barely on the desktop anymore. For the same reason. Tracking is way more interesting when not anchored to a desktop, and other companies already got the car thing going.
Time matters too. Current tech would hint to us that the planes had been shot down.

But in the future that sentence might mean hacking and theft of the actual planes, an actual landing.

No, its what a small sliver of political partisans want. News junkies have been driven to independent and/or foreign outlets and specialty journals since actual "news" (rather than political commentary) is virtually entirely absent from US corporate media.
Thanks for the feedback. We tried to be really thoughtful about the UX / animations, but looks like we missed the mark with you. The site converts close to 6%, which is a really high conversion rate for b2b. I agree that we need more product screenshots, especially given how easy to use the product is. We are working on a "how it works" section with more screenshots. In the meantime, you can see screenshots here (https://www.dropbox.com/home/Mutiny%20Press%20Kit/Mutiny%20p...) or sign up for a demo on our website. We are trying to build product and trial experiences as fast as we can :)

It amazes me how things were easy to get moving in 1993.

Imagine that applied to today.

Well, today, it would be a start up claiming to have secured telnet, with a webapp, carry over session between mobile and desktop, and gathering telemetry between each connection.

People want intuitive explanations because it seems the easiest. It is, that's the problem. Learning is supposed to be painful. You have to get your hands dirty.

It's easier to feel that you know something than to actually know it.
I think the point is that the telephone was actually an older invention that was “relatively” cheap to maintain. The fact that it was a ubiquitous and well understood technology, also meant that fees should be lower since it was essentially in maintenance mode. And keep in mind that Bell being split for being a monopoly was likely in the writers mind too.
Cellphone Contract for a Child’s First Cell Phone
Kids are absolutely a ton of work.

But when people say kids are terrible because they take up too much time, stress you out, cause you to loose sleep, yes, all of that is true.

But it would be the same as saying “Dogs are terrible because you have to pick up their food, you have to find someone to watch them when you travel, their vet bills are so expensive.” Again, all true, but those statements completely ignore the positives.
You can easily order dogs. For cats, you have to make the task fun and in their interest.
Not new technology, but I guess that's the point; pneumatic tools have been around for a long time and are very common in workshops where an ample supply of compressed air is available. I wonder how loud these are, that's one of the biggest drawbacks of air motors --- the shrill hissing and whining noises of a workshop are one of the more fatiguing sounds to hear.

Relatedly, the Paris compressed-air power network was discussed here several months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19782760

A CFO concerned about valuation and experienced in negotiating contracts should be thinking:

1) Fortune 1000 companies and the government will never accept this. I need to make sure the product team is designing a way to allow these customers to shut this off.

2) This is more risk than we will gain from tracking individual customers. We can't afford to indemnify our customers against these third-party tools. How will we address GDPR, CCPA and future regulations if we don't allow an opt-out?
Amish are not anti-technology, they are technology-skeptic and will only adopt a technology if they see that the benefit outweighs the cost, and they are very conservative about their decisions.

Just looking at the result, it seems to have worked out well for them. They're a community that has maintained a focus on family and community, and are in a good position to withstand collapse scenarios, since they are much less dependent on the global economic system.

A fun way to play with people who won't believe you is to say OK then, let's play 10 games @ $10/game:

Get 3 cards and pick one to be the prize. Your mathematically-challenged partner gets to put them down each time.

You pick a card, they remove one of the other cards and then you always switch.

I made like $50 from someone this way one time =)

I'm not totally heartless - I took him to lunch on me afterwards to lessen the blow ;-)

If you really want to drill the point home, offer to keep playing more & more batches of 10 until they've had enough...

You must be joking. Who ran things there before 1936-41? Who built the airbase at Habbaniyah and was gassing people way before Saddam?
You can still do pretty much the same thing. Win+D, Alt+F4.
They could have just changed the form factor of the connector and card and used the regular SD(XC) protocol and wiring rather than going back to an old technology for the whole thing.
That part made me think of Magic the Gathering. I played a lot of Magic for awhile. While traveling I'd visit random card shops, and I've played in a number of different and far flung cities. Every night, no matter the location, it's the same group of guys gathering around to play some cards. I find it quite comforting, almost magical, and archetypal.
You're putting pressure on the norm that organizations should be sharing this sort of thing. If the norm were strong, the pressure wouldn't keep people from sharing similar things in the future. But since the norm is weaker we need to be careful to nourish it, not pushing it harder than it can stand.

> Wouldn't FTP need three simplex connections - commands to server, responses from server, data transfer?

AFAICT, per RFC 114, responses from the server are considered a data type: when a user sends a command to the server, sometimes the response is a status update ('MKDIR successful'†) and sometimes the response is the requested file.

The data structure of the response has fields to say what's coming back on the data channel for the requested transaction.

† MKDIR was not a command, just using it as an modern example.
As they say: that’s the joke.

That may be an implementation detail, but to a programmer, promises and thus async/await are just a resource that represents some background operation with some side effect attached to some undetermined time in the future when the promise settles, if ever.

You get a reference to it and it's a resource to manage manually. You need to ensure that the side effect you attached to it at one time will not mess up anything in the future, despite not knowing in what situatuion in the future it will be resolving. User might have done many other operations with tha app in the meantime, etc.

You may also want to carry around an AbortController, in case you may need to cancel the operation behind the promise (like a fetch).

So promises are just references to some resources.

Async functions actually make the management of async jobs harder, since you're basically encoding a sequence of jobs into the structure of the functions you define and you don't even see the promises behind those, and you'll not have control over their execution from the outside, unless you explicitly code for it at every point.

You don't get to say: ok, whatever's going on now with all my data fetching async functions that may be currently running, I want to pause them in whatever state they may be now. Or cancel them right now, or restart them from where I paused them.

With explicitely coded FSM, you can do any of this, easily.
Yes. This is more generally known as Goodhart's Law[0]: when a metric is used as a goal, then people will game the metric in order to win, making the metric useless.

There is no fundamental way to overcome this problem, except by not using metrics as goals.

These are all great ideas, but the point is that they don't solve the other problems at hand directly, and the problems at hand interfere with executing on these ideas.

How are we going to fund mental health interventions and housing cost reductions if businesses refuse to pay taxes and housing costs keep going up? How are we going to expand on transit and cut transit costs if transit revenues are bad and high housing prices result in land values so high that the state can't buy land up to expand transit infrastructure?

I'd love to see that stuff, but it's been necessary for decades and isn't happening. We can't blame it all on NIMBYs, and getting rid of them won't make it suddenly happen.

Some of this is due to other state-wide and city problems, like taxpayers being unwilling to approve funding for transit and other measures, but that's not the only problem either.
Well, most companies, AT&T including, do not have truly irreversible actions. If someone steals your account this way, with enough complaining you will likely get it back, mostly, eventually. Same thing with traditional banking.

This breaks down for internet giants which provide free services which can still be very valuable, like gmail, and that’s why they are moving away from it.
Have done this, can confirm, it does take a while :) like tricept workout kind of while, but it does work... (for expediency I used a floor pump serfas or something like that)....

There are also several different "strains" of Amishism, with substantial differences in their technology adoption stances.
Even when you will be able to have a 100% coherent and deep discussion with an AI over a niche technical domain, there will be people to pretend that the AI "fakes" it.

Systems like GPT-2, incredibly (I used to be a skeptic of a pure statistical approach) manage to extract meaning, keep a theme, and understand the intent behind a sentence. They are amazing.

When you have a system that displays all the characteristics of understanding something, it is irrelevant whether or not it "fakes" it. No one ever proved that humans are not "faking" intelligence either.

The pendulum really has swung too far on breast feeding.

Yes, if you can do it, it’s better than formula.

But if you can’t, you’re not a bad parent. If you can only sustain it for 6 months because it’s too much work, that’s ok.

Only 50 years ago we had a couple generations of kids where breast feeding was almost never done. Those adults don’t seem to have been handicapped by it.
Bad systems occasionally produce acceptable outcomes. They are still bad systems. This is common sense.

Right, I think you understand the word as I do: 'verb' + ed. "The enemy landed the jet" as in they forced the jet to land either directly or indirectly. This would mean that the two sentences use "landed" the same way. But my understanding is SuperGLUE's offical answer is that these use "landed" differently with the rational that "landed" is idiomatic and just means to procure or bring about (e.g. "I landed the job") and it happens to be used with planes.

This is not cool.

Yes, I did copy the posting of Paul Machle's name, and as a senior executive (likely worth at least 10s of millions at Gitlab's last valuation), he has a lot of responsibility here, and he should own up to his mistake.

But the point is still not to "blame" it on one or a couple people. If you look at that GitLab comment thread, it's clear that many GitLab employees had strong objections to the change: "I hereby declare my highest degree of objection to this change that I can humanly express." and "I agree with @leipert moral wise, I'm not happy with this change". So the question is why the company made the decision that ignored the right people and followed the wrong people (hint, it's HiPPO).

Firing Paul Machle won't fix GitLab's problem. GitLab needs to figure out how to change its culture so that it listens to the right people, even if they're not the highest paid.

Hello,
In Due.Work we have a project at a top-level.

According to your requirements, you need a view where you can manage multiple projects in timeline and analyze the dates of tasks and overall projects. Yes, it is available you just have to treat Due.Work's "section" as your "project" alias.

Just create several sections name as your project names and start writing tasks. Now you can easily manage all your projects in your one timeline plus you can further arrange your tasks using labels or status and play with it in several views.

Due.Work's Project is a top-level entity and can hold as many as 15k to 20k tasks inside one project very easily.

We have a chat button on the bottom right of each page where you can chat with us and ask us any questions right away.
