In short, I don't, but it's an interesting idea! Have you seen https://segment.com? It's a similar concept, for analytics services only. You set up segment in your app once, and they act as a middleman, such that you can turn other services on top on and off at will. Seems to have been a huge success.

You'd need to find a set of integrations that all fundamentally revolve around a similar data model though (chat, or task trackers, or whatever), you're not going to be able to sync anything to anything.
Cool! I actually work at a company that adopted Holacracy roughly 3 years ago. In many ways it's probably much less loose and more formal than most people think (I mean there is a written constitution written in Legalese).

There are still roles that resemble the classical management role, i.e. there is a role that is responsible for setting strategies and assigning people into roles and monitoring role fit within their 'circle' (think team or business unit), called the circle's lead link. Yet there is a process for any role holder to propose putting those accountabilities into a new role or into a process. Role holders can also propose the creation of new roles or policies if they feel a tension. Then there is a structured process to deal with these proposals, and people need to demonstrate that the proposal would cause harm and reduce the capacity for the circle to achieve its purpose in order to have a valid objection. People in roles ultimately have ultimate autonomy on how they want to achieve their role's purpose. The lead link role can give relative prioritization if there are conflicts, but the lead link can't say 'you have to work on this right now and this is how you gonna do it'.

What ultimately happens is that the traditional accountabilities of a manger end up being distributed across multiple roles, so people might have software developer role, but might also be responsible for defining the hiring standards, or do people development etc.

It's kinda similar to the book "Turn the Ship around" where you don't have to ask for permission to do something and there is a process to address any tensions that arise from this power to act autonomously.

I'm confused, the backlash was after they already started the search in early 2019 (https://www.wsj.com/articles/online-luggage-startup-away-say...). I thought they said they wanted to install someone who had more experience before all of this due to their own internal investigation.

The most important part of executive management is building the system, which consusts of hiring, firing, solving problems, and setting policies. There's an old joke: Can you make a better burger than McDonald's? Sure. Can you build a better burger-making system, though?

Most executives are incompetent, having little to no training in management. Rather than solving problems, they shift them to employees, vendors, even customers. This is why unions are such a disaster for most execs.

The skill of hiring is evident from the top down, be it good or bad. And it will affect an organization for decades after.

An organization will come to reflect the leadership, from the top. The people and policies will shape it into the image of its leadership. Mostly that leadership can't see itself reflected in the group.
Kinda reminds me of "spore"...
iOS 12 and 13 improved notifications on the iPhone - you can now do the same thing (Swipe -> Manage and you can either turn off notifications for the app, or have them only show in Notification Center and not as a banner.)

And a partial swipe brings up the three notification options, a full swipe dismisses it.

I think this is best explained without exaggeration by the famous Design-Stamina Hypothesis[1], which states the notion that time spent on Design is something which you can trade away to improve development speed, is reliably false in the long-term (even if it seems to be working in the near term.)

The graphic also suggests that there is an inflection point, as you suggest, before where time spent on design really is just slowing you down in the beginning of your project, but also that the costs of waiting too long to switch modes (from doing no design, to doing good design) after you have crossed that line, are substantial and compounding; the longer you wait, the more your lack of good design costs.

And of course, not pictured, is "bad design" which can be even worse than no design. Trying to find that inflection point and put it on your development schedule in advance is also a bit like trying to catch a falling knife (not likely to succeed.)

It's the overall uselessness of life, being lied to about rules of society while brutal, cruel natural law is in effect, like people getting ahead by lying, bullying, kissing up, schmoozing, murdering, having sex with etc. and one's competence doesn't matter at all, unless it's for increase in work/punishment. It leads to nihilism, suicides and murders as "nothing really matters" and is quite common in 50+ and lower-strata society folks "that have seen it all".

From a quick research:

Blue pill - believe what society says, have okaysh life and ordinary dreams driven by collective narrative, zeitgeist, then burn to the ground later when somebody catches you off-guard and takes advantage of you

Red pill - be a selfish bastard you are supposed to be, use other blue pill people because they allow you to, argue using other people is what they truly want (mainly related to women, i.e. assuming women are attracted to emotionless men that are using them then throwing them away once no longer attractive), have a firm and rational grip with actual technical aspects of reality around you with good behavior prediction rate, often practicing stoicism/Zen Buddhism

Purple pill - mix of blue and red pill, having some societally-injected ideals while adhering to solipsistic consequentialism in using other people, but still being driven by societal rewards and the need of approval by others

Black pill - nothing matters, you or other people could be already dead, it won't change a thing, universe is random/pointless or created by an evil demiurge in order to torture conscious beings; whatever you do, whether good or evil, is pointless; people use each other all the time, given large enough reward there is no moral rule that couldn't be bent, there is no point in generosity and ideals, just in interests, and they are pointless anyway

White pill - universe was created for a reason that is good and everybody wants to get into a meaningful state/end, assuming overcoming obstacles by practicing virtues is necessary in order to reach some noble goal, likely maximizing utility/happiness of everybody, often associated with religion

Honestly, I am not sure how one could fight either of those pills as all historical civilizations had their own share of unrealistic myths and there were always groups of people seeing through their facade and taking advantage of better information, validating many of these perspectives and making them common meta-strategies of life.
Preserving the position of the cursor is a crucial feature for collab editors. However, he doesnt go into detail explaining why CRDTs make this feature impossible. Sure the CRDT route splits the text, but I fail to see why that makes cursor pos preservation impossible?
Please, read the article before posting your usual whataboutism:

"As project coordinator for TsNIIMash, Kudryavtsev transmitted research findings to the foreign partners. The reports were approved by the military's Federal Service for Technical and Export Control, says Kudryavtsev's attorney, Ivan Pavlov, a prominent human rights lawyer.

Herman Deconinck, who handles the von Karman Institute's foreign relations, notes that all references in the Russian reports had been published in the open literature."
No one claimed that every system can be changed; traffic will be traffic. The same applies for the rules of politics [0].

Not sure how you get the idea that "capitalism" is a bad thing, the majority of educated people (and not just Americans) would strongly disagree; there is a reason why all credible attempts at non-market-driven growth failed, see China and Russia.

You may look at the struggle in the world and link it to the perceived epxloitation of the poor, but if you'd ask the people who e.g. work in the textile-industry in "3rd world countries" wether they'd prefer not to have any job (because that's the sole alternative within our system) or keep on working under current conditions, they would prefer to keep feeding their family.

The riches we enjoy through what you call capitalism aren't merely the number in your bank account: wealth includes the services we provide for another: being able to get a haircut at any time, etc. -- see what "being rich" without a functioning economy did to Venezuela, which was flowing in oil-money, distributed it among its people, and, in consequence, failed to keep up with the rest of the world.

The system isn't what it is because of money and greed, but because it's the best we came up with, the implications of political workings notwithstanding.

I dont know the context where ‘reactionary’ is right here. Unsupported holes or trenches are crazy dangerous. Its been a while since ive done construction but 3-4’ deep is where you’ll kill someone. A partial collapse traps the victim and compresses/crushes the thorax or diaphragm. The victim will suffocate before you can extract them, even if theyre only partially buried. I ‘opt in’ to some dangerous activities. A wet 6’ hole is not one Id get in to.

There are: wealth inequality (caused by income inequality) causes massive inefficiencies in the market (by for example incentivising wasteful luxury housing), because it means that buying power is not even close to proportional to genuine need.

Thus we ought to massively increase taxation on the highest earners in order to rebalance our economy.

UA sniffing should have died out a long time ago. It's frustrating that it's 2020 and I'm still having my browsing experience broken for no other reason than the site doesn't like my UA.
They can, but I’ve literally never seen this used in practice as an iOS dev that is regularly trying out all the latest apps.

These notifications go straight into Notification Center, which means if you never swipe down to look at notifications, you’ll never even see them (They don’t show a banner, or even on the lock screen.) That limits their value to the marketing people looking to juice their engagement numbers with spam push notifications.
This is fascinating, thanks! Turn The Ship Around is on my reading list.
I've heard this oft repeated, but no evidence that dating overall works by the 80-20 rule except for Tinder, which hardly represents the dating world at large. It's perhaps true for casual sex, but for monogamy, which is still the most common dating pattern for the overwhelmingly majority of Western civilisation, the math just doesn't work out.

I can't help but feel that this belief is understandably motivated by a desire to see oneself as belonging to the bottom 80%, rather than belong to the bottom 20%, or worse.

I think many Americans would be willing to go, but I don't think China would allow that. They have a billion people already, the last thing they need or want is more labor.
True.

We need to get our education on par with the technology.

People need to level up faster, there are new jobs that are yet to be discovered. More taxes to be paid so the ones that aren't lucky don't have to live at a bare minimum.

I'm farmilliar with Automerge, but not its specific features on state compression. In general change set compression is possible with CRDTs but there are some "gotchas" you need to look out for. Most notably, all peers interested in a changeset, have to be completely in sync at the moment of compression, otherwise, depending on which underlying CRDT type you use, there can end up with duplicate entries in for example a Set type. Depending on the use case, 100% peer sync is possible, in others its more challenging.
I found the hardest thing to initially get my head around was going home at the end of the day wondering what I'd achieved.

Moving from tangible daily outputs (code etc), to longer term feedback loops can be just as rewarding, you just need to step back slightly.

Empowering others to achieve their potential, watching them grow. Watching great products evolve. Understanding and directly influencing tech decisions. Being able to look further than the next sprint. Interfacing with external parties, seeing how they approach similar / new problem spaces.

IMO, this never gets boring.

It's clear it doesn't work perfectly - depression rates in capitalist countries are very high, salaries are still a problem, even when GDP improves. The Communist revolution took off all over the world, but later everyone learned that communism isn't better.

All change takes time and energy.

I think we're still missing a great economic thinker who can try to solve it. We've put a lot of our energy into things like electronics, computer, medicine in the past century, because that's where all the big problems were.

It's likely someone will revise capitalism soon enough, especially given all the computing power we have to make models, and even the data that can be pulled from things like MMOs.

The only legitimate use case I can think of is exception tracking, it is valuable to know which browser caused the exception.

Beyond that, a website should never, ever rely on the UA for anything.
I get that this shit is hard but who thinks that saying "[o]ur in-house attorneys will shift to have the option to become preferred providers in our professional services network" is ok?

This is such a gross way of putting it.

This isn't a publicly listed company ffs, just say what everyone knows it means: "our startup's Plan A performed unexpectedly so some of our great colleagues, who believed in us and worked hard for up to 2.5 years, are losing their jobs, and this sucks, but based on what we all learned, including thanks to the valuable work the in-house guys did, we're kicking off Plan B today".
>Just try and read the CEO's Slack screed about "teaching accountability" without sounding like a DreamWorks villain...

I did. Let's not overstate it.

>The Away management team comes across as manipulative and maximally exploitative at the expense of their employees' well-beings, topped off with a CEO intent on forcing her abysmal work-life balance and sleep schedule on the rest of her staff.

This comes across the same way the Verge article does. Namely, it feels like you're just looking for things to be offended by. The specifics are minor and trivial and interesting enough as a case study but certainly not interesting enough as a national story about some great wrong-doing.

Here's a random excerpt:

"Employees say she swore during interviews, cackled at people’s jokes, and took new hires to lunch, telling stories about her own mistakes. Once, during an interview, a woman remarked that she was drawn to Away because she was a millennial and it was a millennial-friendly product. “I’m a millennial, too,” Korey said. Later, that same employee was told by her manager that Korey had referred to the team as a bunch of “millennial twats.”"

I'm not sure what relevance 'cackling' at jokes is (though it evokes sexist tropes) but outside of that, COME ON. That's just pilling on hoping something sticks because it's all a big pile of nothing.

There is also an anecdote about Korey shutting down a private slack channel because of toxic and racist messages and reprimanded the employees in question. The story backs this up by referencing messages that called out 'cis white men', but the article then spins it as: "“It just became really obvious that this happened because someone white and powerful got offended,” says the customer experience manager, Lindsey." ... yeah. I think I'm with Korey on this. She made the right move.

Xiaomi launches 5G service packages for as low as $7 per month
The comments here are divorced from reality and the article.

The average student loan debt for students who took out a loan is around $30,000. Some have more, as averages work, but most have less. How? About 30% of students graduate with no debt.

Furthermore, the number of schools closing is absolutely trivial and if you read the article you would see that the real issue seems to be plummeting birth rates in the northeast US. The school in the article was charging $12,000 per year in tuition on average. A far cry from what the comments here would have you believe. “$150k in debt.”
This in conjunction with 5G would make surveillance complete. I wouldn't be surprised if 5G got some free channel/band used specifically for "telemetry" from all 5G-capable devices around, transferring real-time audio etc.
We will soon see what this Windows update is about - but I seriously doubt that there exists any relationship.
There are plenty of unmaintained sites out there that do stupid things in reaction to UA strings, and one of the stupid things is using a regex that expects specific strings to exist.

Using a completely new string format in the same field (or removing it entirely) breaks a lot of sites that'll never be fixed.

Freezing it prevents this. And if we're freezing and creating a new system then why not go for something queryable without all the baggage?
Why is it a sham? TPPs (who are either AISPs and/or PISPs) process banking information for customers of participating banks. A TPP will typically provide some kind of service like a unified view of customer finances, and as part of that they're processing customer banking info.

It would be an unusual TPP where the data never left the customer's device. Usually there'll be a web service/web app provided by the TPP and the communications will be between the customer and the TPP and then the TPP and the bank (a.k.a ASPSP)

Whilst it's not perfect, it's a hell of a lot better, from a security perspective, than 3rd parties getting full banking creds for customers.
> and we are all worse off

It's possible they'll do it in a specific area that isn't where everyone is (or that is where most people are not). I'd argue that we would be collectively better off in that case.
I have some news for you about what year it is.
The economics literature actually calls this "menu repricing cost". But more serious a problem than goods prices are wage values - in order to keep up you need an increasing frequency of raises, which have to be argued over or even fought for with strikes. This was a key element in the UK's industrial strife of the 1970s, when inflation was over 10% and sometimes up to 20% a year - a long way from Venezuela, but still significant. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/c4/United_K...
