Many are broadly still in denial about how most computing is mobile and how big Apple has become. The iPhone is the most successful product line in history, at sales of 1.6 billion units and over 1 trillion dollars in revenue.

It's not traditional actually. We vest quarterly, and I've sold my stock as soon as I've received it (two vest days so far). My third vesting is November 15th.

The last picture gives you my estimated total comp for the year, $343k. It will be something close to that unless $FB has a major change between now and next vesting date in February 2020.
> [A bunch of features] are much more valuable launched together than individually.

More than that, they are often dependent on one another - maybe not so much if you are just polishing a mature product, but much more so at startup, when you are aiming for MVP.

And a feature does not become an 'option' just by putting it on a list; you have to work on it to have a possibility of 'exercising' it. To be fair, the article sort-of acknowledges this, but does not recognize the extent to which this weakens the metapor.

In the P50 scenario, I can only guess that hitting all the goals earns a demerit is because it indicates sandbagging. Well, there is an obvious way to avoid that outcome...

Ask HN: Apps for surveying availability for best time to have a board videocall?
Use case: 6-7 people across three North American timezones. Need to meet once or twice a month for a board meeting over Google Meet. No one is on the same Google Calendar organization.

All I want is a link to a calendar so people block off times they aren't available. Then it produces a report of the times the most people are available, and I pick one.

Doodle is way too involved, as it goes in the reverse direction: I have to set up a bunch of stuff in advance: meeting name, duration, suggested times, etc.
If want to help humans achieve their full potential, you need to have a system in place to enable that before you automate away their jobs.

Some years back, Farbrausch released a "demo creation kit" of sorts, called Werkkzeug. It's still around, and it's a great way to dip your toes into the expressive end of things without having to hand-hack a bunch of assembler code.

Find out if you like creating things like that, and then level-up the skills as necessary to make it completely your own.
Right... but you wouldn’t know that until all the deductions you used to have are wiped out because you make too much... and then you get AMT’s for added insult. And it’s not 1%... I don’t know the % you’d have to be the but the deduction wind down around $175k in w2 income. That’s hardly bezo’s territory. So let’s say you make $175k and have been thrifty and done a ton of saving and own your home... so now on top of that you’re getting wealth taxed? You know what will happen- this will decimate the white collar servant class in states like NJ where property taxes already exceed 50% of ones mortgage payment AND you can no longer deduct local taxes from your federal return... ever notice the people complaining the tax cuts unfairly benefitted the rich are the ones who already made too much to benefit from the doubling of the standard deduction (ie >80k) but too little that the removal of the state tax deduction really hurt (<$175k)... and yet these same folks somehow think the wealth tax won’t be for them.

One thing people need to realize is that patents are not a protection by themselves.

Patents are little more than a ticket to file a lawsuit at some future date.

Moreover it is an expensive ticket -- you are required to both reveal the essential elements of your invention (to the extent that requires 'no undue experimentation to reproduce') and prosecute the patent process for several years with specialized attorneys at a typical cost of $tens of thousands.

Then, if someone infringes, you'll have the option to pursue your own federal lawsuit at a cost of $hundreds of thousands, or find an attorney willing to pursue the suit on contingency -- which is likely only if the infringer already has deep pockets.

Oh, and good luck if someone in China decides to infringe your patent.

The requirement to reveal key technology in the patent process is why Elon Musk decided to use Trade Secret protections (vs. patents) for SpaceX -- his assessment is that the Chinese would simply use his patents as a how-to guide.

Although it can be worthwhile, I've decided against it several times. If you do pursue it, I hope it goes well for you.

Wow, I totally misread that.
There's not much reason to sell to a patent troll if you're one yourself. Simple ideas (like pegging a crypto-currency to a fiat currency) should never be awarded patents. That's the core of the problem.

I suspect it’s more to do with the publish or perish and funding dearth combination.

> You mentioned LH2904 and TAM3054.

This whole thread started from description of the 2018 SmartLynx accident.

> The A320 pilots did not provide correct inputs.

They did. Read the 2018 report. Simple touch-and-go's on a training day led to loss of elevator due to timing of a single light bounce after touchdown.

> Both flights were deemed pilot error by the respective investigative agencies.

Both reports also concluded that design of the aircraft contributed to the accident (instead of preventing) and recommended revising it.

In addition, the 2018 SmartLynx crash showed that the A320 still can't tell whether it's on the ground or not. This time pilots did everything by the book, and found themselves locked out of elevator control due to poor design of A320 SEC computers.
Any other antipatterns? Because that one doesn't seem to apply here.

Wait... You've been trying to read the page solely via the section popups in the table of contents? The section popups are just there to give you a preview of the section as a fun bonus Easter egg sort of feature. (I thought it was hilarious when we realized we could do it: "yo dawg...".)

> In its zeal, Rust won't let you modify different elements of the same array from different threads (an issue that comes up almost immediately in the OP) even though you know with perfect mathematical certainty that to do so is perfectly safe.

To be clear, Rust will let you do this, as long as you're communicating that you know this to the compiler. split_at_mut and scoped threads are two ways that this is possible without requiring you to write your own unsafe code.
> IPMI makes it easy to setup over LAN and I don’t have to ever plug in a monitor or keyboard.

Hardware BMCs have their place (e.g. low-overhead compute-cluster nodes, where free cores = profit.)

But, for most workloads—and especially consumer workloads—there’s no reason that the concept of a “Baseboard
Management Controller” needs to be instantiated as hardware; you can just as well set the system up with a hypervisor OS (e.g. a minimal Linux KVM install; or an appliance-OS designed for this, like VMWare’s ESXi), set your regular workload up as one VM guest (and pass through to it all the nice hardware you have, like GPUs), and then set up another “control plane” guest VM that exposes IPMI management of your regular guest and of the hypervisor itself. As they say, “there’s no problem that can’t be solved with another layer of indirection.” ;)

(I should note, this is exactly the setup you get by default if you install ESXi [hypervisor] + a free home license of vSphere Server Center [BMC-equivalent appliance] onto a box. I was happily using this exact setup for quite a while, though I eventually moved to Linux+KVM+Xen just because I wanted the host to be able to create guest volumes from a thin-provisioned storage pool and then serve them out to the guests over iSCSI, as if I had a teeny-tiny SAN.)

Of course, this has only become a viable approach for IoT integrators very recently, which is why we don’t see any IoT appliances (e.g. NASes) coming set up this way from the manufacturer just yet. Until recently, your choices for building IoT devices were microcontrollers at the low end; old ARM cores in the middle; and Intel’s most “power efficient”, feature-stripped cores on the high end. None of these were particularly suited to hosting virtualization. But Ryzen is! While it may only be affordable to home-builders today, I expect to see AMD chasing Intel up on its “power-efficient embedded profile” market segment quite soon, with Ryzen-based, highly-cored, virtualization-capable equivalents to the Intel Atom line being sold for cheap enough to get system integrators excited.

Part of this is that lawmakers don't want to be too agressive. If they ostensibly solve the privacy dilemmas related to facebook, they'll have to find a new outrage to parade out in front of voters and that requires them to learn about that new outrage as well. Instead it's a better strategy to milk an existing outrage until there are diminishing returns and only then move onto or manufacturing the next outrage. It's legislative theatre for the sake of getting re-elected term after term.
Why would licensing not be okay? If someone designs a thing and someone else wants to pay them to build that thing, that's totally fine.

What's not okay is if someone designs and builds a thing, and then a complete stranger comes by and claims to have designed it based on some questionable similarities to a vague description of an idea on paper.

The big issue is: did you actually design the thing, or are you merely trying to extract money from those who did?

Nice project. Can't fault your intentions.

The name seems odd to me however, as I read it from the perspective of electrical energy. Most countries already have extensive electrical infrastructure (i.e. collective energy) so the name evoked in me the horrible idea of taking communities off grid to run on their own micro-grid.

This is fine in a few edge cases, but is generally suboptimal from a socio-economic perspective.
That gets unfair.

Towns around Flint spent their own money to fix their own pipes. They sacrificed to do the right thing. If a place like Flint now gets upgrades for free, we're rewarding irresponsibility. The voters of Flint choose to be irresponsible for decades.

As with most programming jobs the best skill you can foster is how to research, learn and apply technologies.

The tools and popular frameworks change about every 3 years. (As a web dev since 96 I feel qualified enough to say.)

That said, fundamentals are key. Learn/brush up on standard Javascript and CSS before diving into the current frameworks.

ES6 Javascript has a lot to offer, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=STZuv-27d9M and the Grid/Flex options in CSS can allow you to create a variety of complex layouts in a fairly quick way. https://www.css-tricks.com

On top of that, it does everyone good to understand web accessibility concerns and implement them from the start of each project (far easier than trying to retrofit things later).

Once you have a firm handle on those things, you can better evaluate frameworks and libraries. You may find that you won't need all the overhead that comes with helpful libraries if you have a specific use case that standard js/css can solve.

I spend a lot of my time reading documentation/github issues for a variety of things (node, drupal, wordpress, hugo, frameworks, php, javascript, docker, vagrant, bash) and parsing how that info can help me integrate the tools and programs I use everyday.

If documentation doesn't exist, I try to create my own barebones doc with links to info I've found and a list of questions to research later.

Web Dev, for me, has been all about solving puzzles, finding solutions, and sometimes simply discovering the right terms to search for.

This continuous learning process can feel like I'm starting from scratch over and over (and feeling like I know nothing each time ;) ), but lessons learned from previous projects usually make future ones easier to learn/identify problem areas.

It's good to embrace that uncertainty.
There is so much out there to learn, no one can know it all, but if you can learn to identify good mentors, quickly parse documentation and apply current best practices you'll do just fine.

Not true, It's slippery language (and unauditable Chinese press statements). So if you can spot it!

That would also make point to point flights easier to coordinate. It might not make sense to have a direct commercial flight from Birmingham, Alabama to Fort Collins, Colorado with today's aircraft but if you only needed to fill four seats, such pairings might work. Not sure how much quieter an electric airplane would be but if it is significantly quieter, smaller airports spread out in greater numbers would also make point to point more viable.
It can take time to learn how to close. The more you try, the better you will get at it. Also sometimes things happen that are completely out of your control.

For example, I was negotiating an initial 5 figure contract but they were so impressed that they were talking about 7 figure contracts if the first one went well. Then I didn't hear from them for a month which was strange given the prior behavior. Turns out they were hacked via a third-party contractor, and the top executives made a knee-jerk decision to ban all third-party contracting. My contact person either resigned or fired because he signed the particular third-party that got hacked.

> What happens when the plane mechanically fails? Having 600 tons of metal raining down on a population sounds quite dangerous

Simply put, that's just not how aviation works.

Mechanical failures aren't uncommon in aviation, but for an aircraft to not be able to divert and return to the ground, a lot has to go wrong all at once. It's infinitesimally rare for all systems to fail at once on an airliner. There simply isn't a problem of airliners dropping out of the sky, ever. They're incredibly robust machines.

However, with your idea, we'd be relying on a single system to prevent catastrophic failure. That's a massive step backwards for aviation.

That doesn't even begin covering the problems with delivering enough electricity over this cable to power an airliner at takeoff... That cable would need to be a very thick gauge of wire and very heavy - causing all sorts of it's own problems.
