I'm not saying that it should be "essentially free", I'm saying there is far less competition than there should be, competition should be easy and a lot more prevalent, and part of that is the very hurdle that people think we need to install electric chargers like gas pumps in the gas pump business model only as big installations of just fast chargers, because right now we aren't doing that well either. To be doing the gas pump business model well: Yes, a lot more fast chargers should be working with convenience stores and restaurants and what have you and should be value added to higher margin industries.

The "parking meter" business model is also a valid strategy. My complaint with that business model, if its not apparent enough yet, is not that they are charging more for that business model, but that they aren't being transparent about it and double and triple dipping. If you want to charge $5-$15/hour parking, that's fine, that's a parking fee. Don't call it "electricity fees", because that's not what that is. Also, don't charge me $5-15/hour parking at both the Gate and the Meter (Charger), because that's $10-$30/hour parking and your signs are wrong.

But the further point is that those aren't the only business models. You don't need fast chargers everywhere, because cars spend most of their lives parked and the electric grid is everywhere, if we could just drive enough business models that encourage "slow" chargers everywhere we "win" when it comes to competition. Utilities make great amenities to bundle with other products, services, employment relationships.

Right now too, there's a lot of "worst of both worlds" business models, at least in the US. I've seen grocery stores with both free parking lots and low margin gas pumps, and yet very high electric parking fees. Some of that is simply because the same grocery stores that just spent millions in becoming their own gas stations are outsourcing their chargers to third parties because they don't have to compete on margins yet, and they aren't paying attention to what the chargers are costing, and how it affects the public perception of their overall amenities just yet. I suppose we'll know when electric is finally on their radars when you can use "gas points" for electric rates.
Knew some people worked with them. IIRC they're one of the outfits that refuses to hire anyone but ivy league grads and as a result, every time you go into a conference room with them they immediately initiate a dick measuring contest in one form or another.

They were not well liked...
If you're an amateur and can't afford $100 dev license, why are you targeting a premium mobile platform that you'd need to test on?

I've been in and out of startups, and in between major companies like McKinsey and IBM. I had a manager at McKinsey who was the most calm, collected, and balanced person I have ever met in the corporate world.

I asked her what her secret was, and she said: "Prior to this I ran a startup." She went into more detail: (1) the corporate world is political and can be painful, but this can be appreciated -- the problems are very different and you almost never have to worry about your pay check at least, (2) most corporations have great resources and networks for learning new skills and meeting people -- this is really great.

Tim Ferris also made a comment once about something related -- ambition and life intensity is like working out... You need months/years that are intense, and ones that are rest periods to recover.

Maybe this is your rest period? Maybe it's a time to take a step back?

This is also a fantastic book on taking a step back: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B004ZY23TS/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_...

I hope that helps...
I'm a little surprised my previous comment wasn't aggressively downvoted. The most dangerous place to be in the culture wars is between the warring factions calling for dialogue because it's frequently the last thing either side wants. I'm convinced that if alt-right people and antifa people actually got to know each other as individuals they would have an opportunity to at least have enlightened disagreement -- which would be mutually enriching because they can connect with the humanity of the people with whom they disagree instead of being able to lazily cast them as being faceless monsters bent on their annihilation.
Last year I was building web games* with Phaser. To better support iOS, I just changed the renderer to `canvas` when an iOS user agent was detected. In the end, the games worked pretty well on iOS devices.

*Games I worked on: https://livegame.show/play/ride_v3 | https://livegame.show/play/pewpew_v6 | https://livegame.show/play/bubbleshooter3

I will say though, Apple does seem to almost purposefully hold back the web on iOS. I suppose this makes native iOS apps, which must pay Apple 30% of their revenue, more appealing to users. On iOS, the Firefox and Chrome apps aren't allowed to include their own browser engines. They have to just wrap Safari webviews.

On Android, the Firefox app is allowed to include it's own browser engine. An engine that supports adblocking extensions like uBlock Origin.
Clearly it's about more than that. the article itself contains why that is.
Are you saying that you’re ready to put your name on an app you’ve shipped but never tested yourself? This is the ultimate Fuck You to users: to show that the developer simply doesn’t care about quality.

I do not understand the mindset where you would cheat for essentially no payoff.
That's why the abstraction is bad. The abstraction is not zero cost.

Instead a high level API should be exposed that mirrors the underlying implementation with a bijection. Databases are the bottleneck of most web development and we need to optimize "bags of tuples" not "sets" in order to gain the performance we need. The problem is, the API (SQL) exposes things as if the underlying implementation was sets. Hence the need to memorize ugly hacks like this in order to optimize SQL.

SQL is a language designed for business users, not a language designed to optimize data retrieval speed. We need an API that can do the latter because web devs are doing all these optimizations in the business language.

I'm not saying there's a better solution out there. I'm exposing a problem. The problem is, SQL is not a zero cost abstraction. We need a "Rust" for databases. A high level query language where the optimization paths are isomorphic to the optimizations paths in the underlying implementation.

Maybe at first glance you don't agree with me. But think of it this way. If an optimization path in Postgresql involves rewriting a Query with an OR clause as a UNION of two queries and all SQL implementations are loaded with strange hacks like this... is there a problem? and what is the solution?
Michael Pettis: Global savings imbalances cause trade wars and income inequality
When I read this for some reason I envisioned a game where you need a huge group of players to slowly accomplish changing the landscape, like you’re a literal worm digging away at your patch of dirt with millions of others.

Picture my disappointment when I realised they meant wurm like a dragon wyrm.
But that's exactly what good design is. It's not just the look. It's also reliability and choice of materials, and likely at least an overview of the manufacturing and assembly processes. And perhaps even the packaging.

Looks-only designers are almost entirely useless. While it's not true absolutely anyone can sketch nice-looking things, people who can sketch nice-looking things and also have an understanding of the practical constraints that can make the nice-looking thing a practical product (or not) are very rare indeed.

Apple used to excel at both. Under Cook/Ives, the balance shifted to style over substance. Arguably it's still stuck there, especially in software, where the UX and the reliability have both become increasingly poor.

So a pre-announcement of a revolutionary product is nice, but the suspicion is it's primarily there to pump up the stock price and deflect from some of the recent missteps.

Unfortunately the recent missteps have been most obvious in software, so I think it's reasonable to be skeptical about Apple's ability to craft a reliable and outstanding UX for not just one but two completely new classes of products.
The coating on it would have to reflect the entire EM spectrum. Or whatever frequency a LASER device weapon would use.
In the scenario you're outlining, the Medallion Fund's yearly returns would be capped by the underperformance of the other RenTec funds. There are two problems with this scenario: 1) The Medallion fund has been outperforming since the 90s, while the other funds opened in 2005. 2) The Medallion fund has extracted vastly more than would be available from RIEF/RIFF underperformance.
I changed the hardcoded domain in my example... Either way, it was no secret that or system could only send emails to a specific domain - both we and the customer knew that. And they paid us $XM to give it the ability to send emails to anywhere.
>"I find it weird that when it comes to Saudi Arabia the vast majority of Americans seem to only care about Kashoggi and when to comes to Libya Americans seem to care only about four Benghazi Embassy workers. It occupies 99% of the outrage space."

The majority of the Americans I know care about human rights, gender equality, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and democracy. The macabre and brazen murder of Kashoggi intersects with more than a couple of those concerns. The people responsible intersect with all of those concerns. There is not shortage or reason's to be outraged.

Your inclusion of Bhengazi here is truly absurd.

I'm the same way. I ran a company for 5 years, left, and had to get a job. I was depressed and hated it for awhile and quit a few jobs along the way.

I'm a remote contractor now and much happier. I can make my own schedule and have enough time to work on my next company.

> Insurance is a fringe discussion compared to general opposition to nuclear. Lack of insurance against catastrophic events is an even more fringe discussion and simply isn't a normal argument against nuclear.

Dissatisfaction with the way that insurance for catastrophic events is handled is in fact the main argument against expanding nuclear from the faction whose opposition is decisive in the US: the nuclear industry.

All other issues surrounding nuclear in the US are peripheral pieces of the debate over liability and insurance and whether or not the industry’s desired changes on that front should be met.
Thanks, I didn't know that. Do you know if there were any other funds by him at the time? I could also create a dozen funds that do randomly different things and just close the ones that didn't do well to get me started.
Some developers here forget that there are game developers that make free stuff, hobby games, This developers often get requests to also package for Linux and Mac because the engine used is cross platform. So this people won't afford to buy a Macbook and pay 100$ yearly for one possible user that would like to try his free game.

I also see users asking for 32 Windows version of the games, there are still a lot of people running old computers and have bad internet connection and there is no good reason not to package some basic game app for them if it is possible.
There are cases in which half-assed actions in favor of "good" (allowing that for the sake of argument) are way worse than doing nothing. Syria was one of them. Predictably.

Quite possibly a worse strategic blunder than Iraq, to boot. And I'm a libby-lib who protested that war.

> what would be having a sky dimension accessible with the elytra wings?

This is something that definitely needs to be added at some point. One problem I would see is that there is already a very good mod that does that. In a sense they are between a rock and an hard place in trying to both copy and not copy it.
This experiment was made with intention to write down everything there is on your mind without making connections between them. Reading and referencing previous thoughts can create an urge to begin editing early on (for example, your next idea needs better support from previous one).
That's a good point. One could argue that Shakespeare's early modern English feels like a different dialect of English and as such would be better translated during representations...
I somehow read this as the code name for Glasses is "Apple Eyes".

Acquiring and operating a typewriter is definitely not, in my view, a simple alternative.

Context switching is expensive. I agree with the strategies you shared for better managing time, but you seem to be interpreting the article as literally manager vs maker, as if there’s a strong adversary between the two, when in reality, an engineer who’s expected to attend all the meetings and also be able to turn around designs and code is just not going to be as effective because of the high cost of context switching. The authors point stands.

Somehow you managed to see the worst in this, making the article about yourself, and you even accused the author of purposely misleading to sell his or her product. If you’re a manager, I would encourage you to be more open minded, for the sake of your employees if nothing else.
One of the more advanced Roomba's I looked at required it to be online to setup and function. Ended up getting the cheap offline model which does the job without the security risks.
It's been longer than that. Core 2 Duos are 64 bit chips, and there were core 2 duo Macs releas e in late 2006, so it's been almost 13 yesrs.

The 32 bit support is actually a bit of a red herring here; the bigger issue for some is Apple dropping support for Carbon, a 32 bit only API made to ease porting of classic MacOS apps from the 80s and 90s to OS X, and itself deprecated in 2012.

I guess Apple could have created a 64 bit version, but it also seems reasonable to expect software developers to have rewritten effected software in that timespan. Carbon was originally a compromise for companies not wanting to learn an entire new OS (NeXTSTEP) and API/libraries when updating their apps for OS X -- the fact some apps still need it today is kind of mind boggling.

Then, I suppose the Win32 API has been stable-ish for far longer.

A lot of money managers are doing that. It's a tiny percentage, something like 2%. The reason that it isn't as common is because the time table is like 15-20 years, not 3-5.

This is where the logical insanity really begins to play.

Your ideology is constructed in order to grant 'incivility' (the moral permission to commit violence) to people based on whatever parameters are useful at the moment.

It's a horrendously incoherent worldview, and will shake itself to pieces.
While this is concerning, it's hardly surprising. After all, if I were a gov't in power I'd want to keep track on groups that could be a potential threat.

Used to compete in very high level amateur races in another sport. Winning for the sake of winning alone is addictive, though not always in a bad way. Some just become more obsessed than others.

I should add, not everyone dopes though. My sport was relatively clean due to the amateur nature and the limited efficacy. Those of us who leaned toward technical competency were usually able to take on the roid-dudes without too much difficulty.

One way may be to make distribute games as VM images that can "just work" in VMWare or VirtualBox. Use one of those bare metal frameworks for .net that just need a simple loader to start up. This will have the added advantage of working on Mac or Windows or Linux with one binary. It's not that hard to boot a vm that's ready to go.

I think Google just hoarded my “deleted” Fitbit data
Here's my conspiracy theory: Google wrote a script to export data from "deleted" Fitbit user accounts, but forgot to disable functionality linked to the related auto-emails.

Timetable:

11/1/19 @ 11:14am: Received "Confirm your Fitbit data export request" email (I requested this export manually)

11/1/19 @ 11:23am: Received "Your export has begun" email (after I logged in and confirmed)

11/1/19 @ 11:58am: Received "Your export has completed" email

11/1/19 @ 1:16pm: Immediately after deleting my Fitbit account, received a confirmation email stating: After 7 days: Your account is frozen and can't be recovered

-------------------------------------------

11/11/19 @ 10:38am: Received "Confirm your Fitbit data export request" email (I did not make this request, and can't even log into Fitbit)

11/11/19 @ 10:38am: Received "Your export has begun" email

11/11/19 @ 10:38am: Received "Your export has completed" email

In your 50s, you're (with luck) wiser and have more experience. You've had a chance to see what happens with the marriages of a lot of people around you, and just how miserable a bad marriage can be. And also just how financially and emotionally devastating a bad divorce can be.

Things are very different from the 1930s or 1960s, and in general it's hard to see marriage as a good deal for most these days.
The problem is that the best indie games communities in my experience were those that revolved around free games. Newgrounds, wc3/sc custom maps, etc. Every now and then someone would run off and get a job based on their games, or turn a decent profit from adverts or selling the game, but it was largely a non-monetary enterprise. The monetary incentive was mostly along the line of a vague hope of working at a AAA shop down the line.

And those communities succeeded, and produce interesting games/genres, primarily due to the lack of barrier to entry (in the sense that you eg bought doom & sc for the game, and then realized there was an editor attached that came free)

Annoyingly, they never learned to share their source code and assets, but otherwise.

Today indie gamedev has become more and more a minaturized version of the AAA industry, and that's a terrible shame.
