If you see it that way, it's a never thing. Career development is an always thing.

It is Windows indeed. I guess the issue is that my Corp doesn't trust GitHub releases, which is daft when you think about it, since you can in theory clone the repo and compile it (so yeah, releases are blocked, repos aren't).

I think it's possible for me to get zplugin (which is what I use) to compile it on demand, but I've just not bothered to figure the correct options to do so. I just don't see a point. I can live without it, but it is a super useful tool.

At home I still heavily use delta, forgit and bat. Amazing utilities that make life better.

Among them were Honeywell's SCOMP, USAF SACDIN, NSA's Blacker, and Boeing's MLS LAN, all under TCSEC, 1980s vintage and Intel 80386-based. Currently, MLS products are evaluated under the Common Criteria.

I guess it depends on what kind of connection you have with your manager. I saw managers who would rather fire people if they feel they would be happier ion another place.
I got a thousand users the first month on an app that went well. And about 200/month on something that doesn't go so well. This is also a small market, about 1/10 the size of the US.

I'll be frank here. It's like a date. If you don't think it's going well, it probably isn't. It might be doing okay, but it's probably better to move on.

If people aren't lining up to give you their money, it's likely not working. If it is working, your focus would be scaling, dealing with complaints, getting frustrated yet excited that there's too much to do.

That doesn't necessarily mean the product is wrong. It could mean you have the wrong market, wrong marketing channel, wrong pricing model (imagine if Facebook tried to charge membership or Netflix tried to monetize from microtransactions), wrong pitch.

One thing that always works for me is asking, who is the best competitor? And trying to build a product that is 10x better.

How do people do split proceeds now? They write out the math on a piece of paper, transfer to friends. Cash or click click bank account details. Is your product 10x better? Probably not. It's not too hard to do as it is, and it's more effort to sign up.

What about someone who does this a lot? Course seller, or freelance teachers for a studio. Well, they probably have done it in a contract, where they collect a sum and then pay it out. It's a burden, but is it a burden worth paying 6% + the cost of figuring out a new system?

Your fee system could be off too - I strongly dislike pushing fees to customers, because it feels like a dodgy 'hidden cost' thing. The reason people offer "free" shipping (i.e. write costs into the price) is because this puts off customers.

Alright, so who would actually have this issue so badly that they would be happy to pay 6% to get it off their hands?

A large scale company probably has integrated it into payroll, and at some point it's cheaper to just hire someone to split the bill. So you'll want something medium sized, maybe hectic and complex. Event management perhaps? Or training. If so, you'll actually want to be approaching those target clients directly and asking them. Asking your friends and family, or posting on HN will likely just give you fake data - your effective customer base could be 0, but is being floated up by supportive people.
US Congress Starts Review on Possible Modernization of the DMCA

4. Repeat
Borders should be drawn based on the states that control them. So oddities like Transnistria would be shown, even opposing sides in civil wars.
> Think about it - if a manager didn't ask for input from their team members, and instead assumed they can identify blockers, on their own and in vacuum, how would we portray such a manager?

A smart manager can also observe things, but on top of that, in a healthy atmosphere some employees will provide that feedback on their own. If subordinates trust that voicing their concerns will have positive, or at the very least non-negative impact on how they're seen, they'll tell you all about the blockers and the uncertainties.
In theory it can, but depends a bit of damage and the state of your support . I suspect that one was due to arguing about the latter than the former.

> Let's say you think there is a pandemic coming and you invest in mask manufacturers. They use your investment

I generally invest in exchange listed companies. When I invest, I'm buying from someone else, not from the company. They already got paid when they floated. They're not seeing a dime through exchange trade unless they make more shares available, diluting everyone else's investment in the process.

So when I invest, someone else gets paid. They may get paid or less than they paid when they bought, but they're getting paid. Not the company I invested in.

> “Got a cheery confirmation email from Google saying, ‘Thanks for contacting us!’ and that it might be a while until the issue is resolved. I assume that’s because this is the point where finally a decision has to be made by a human being. It is annoying indeed.”

It should be nearly automatic. The procedure given by DMCA is:

1. Someone claiming their copyright is being infringed (CLAIMANT) by material hosted at a particular service files a DMCA notice with the service.

2. Service checks the notice to make sure that it contains all the required information. Let's assume that it does.

3. Service takes down the allegedly infringing work and notifies the alleged infringer (ACCUSED).

If the content was infringing, it probably ends here. If the accused believes the work was not infringing, we continue...

4. Accused files a counter-notice with the service provider, saying that the work is not infringing.

5. Service provider notifies the claimant of the counter-notice.

6. Service provider is required to restore the material from 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless the service provider receives notice from claimant that claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the accused from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the service provider's systems.
Copyright itself is broken. It's the 21st century. Copying data is not only trivial, it's a fundamental computer operation. We should not be imposing any limits on this activity. If these rich 20th century industries can't adapt and end up bankrupt, so be it. We should not be protecting them from irrelevance by sacrificing free computing and the free internet for the sake of their decaying business model.
They buy the oil, they don't force everyone to give it to them for a time before being allowed to sell it.

Eh, in moderation it's fine. My kids get a couple hours of screen time a day, maybe even a little more sometimes. Both are at the top of their respective classes in school.

But I've also been careful to keep them aware of the consequences of their various choices (screen time, junk food, etc) and they self-regulate pretty effectively. Although my daughter is currently addicted to fantasy novels and I may need to help her dial that back a little so she gets enough sleep at night :).

I've added a reasonable prompt by default now
It was always economically impossible for Google or Youtube or Reddit or any major website with thousands of new user-generated posts a day (let alone millions) to review each of these cases. I'm not even blaming the companies like Reddit, it really is an unrealistic thing to ask of them.

What is going to stop these professional "copyright companies" or people exploiting it from existing? Better laws against people who file "false" claims? Maybe... but even then only people with the funds and time and jurisdictional ability (a very important one for anyone who knows civil law) to file the suits will ever get justice.

Still something needs to be done here obviously.
It's not really about you. As a consumer, you're a blip in the noise, surgical masks are sold to medical professionals.

So for them, the question is whether they go through masks fast enough that selling them halfway through their sell-by span is practical.

The answer is almost certainly yes, although larger hospitals should maintain their own stockpile. The obvious answer: have major hospitals be holding centers for the US strategic mask reserve.

For consumers, there's no reason not to sell a few masks fresh off the line. These goals aren't in conflict.
I've fixed the typo ('mute-able' -> 'mutable') in your comment above.

Notetaking on paper feels the best. I was thinking of a moleskin sized note scanner that outputs to a moleskin sized e-paper device. The device could sit at the end of the notebook and contain a whole archive of notes.
By far the best Reddit experience I've used
That may be their perspective, true! But if so I would consider that a red flag indicating burn out. Why are they so worried about deliverables? Do they feel the timelines are too aggressive? Are they really so overloaded they can’t take 20 minutes to think about their work from a different perspective? What other problems do they care about? As a manager I need to tease out these things. But each team is unique; what works for my team might not work for yours!

In 4 years of doing 1:1s this way, at different companies and with dozens of teammates, I have received mostly positive feedback. And I’ve definitely adapted the process to address concerns. But again, every person has their own individual needs and preferences.

Another good weeder for a person claiming to be senior: discuss how you would fix the performance of the default R naive Bayes implementation in e1071. It's numerically more or less correct, but written by deranged ape-men who don't understand how computers work (a problem in a lot of the R ecosystem; in the Python ecosystem, the problem is nobody has yet written algorithms for X, which ends up being a very similar problem: aka it's your job to code up sane algorithms).

I’m sorry but Waterfox has never been touted by a privacy tool in the same vein as something like Tor, as I’ve mentioned in the blog. The expectations were too high for something like that.

Also, from what I know the largest rev streams are search syndication. I think if it was labelled <search syndicator> buys <one of its clients> it wouldn’t have been so negatively received.

Yes with acceleration techniques, etc. Main field strength isn’t the real issue here it’s how quickly you can set up the other fields repeatedly and how long your pulse sequences run. There are a lot of factors, but somethings can be done quite quickly.
How did you come up with the idea that anyone is advocating for some kind of force majeure?

The proposal is for USG to buy a bunch of masks and sell them halfway through their useful life. Absolutely no one, other than you, is interpreting this as a requirement that fresh masks cannot be sold under penalty of law.

That's a bizarre and tortured interpretation of what's being discussed here.

> They'll just lobby the government and say such a thing would make it "too risky" or "too hard" to enforce copyright.

Any sensible person should counter that argument with the argument that it is currently "too hard" to defend oneself against false copyright claims.
Since you've "figured it out" I assume you have done a complete study to come to that conclusion? Otherwise your hunch is as good as mine.
> I've been to mainland China, ... HK ... in the last four weeks. China has close to 100% usage of masks in public, mostly the surgical type. The virus is spreading like wildfire there. Every other country I've visited has markedly less mask usage.

I dunno where you were in HK, but the only place I haven't seen everyone wearing a mask is in Soho. Everywhere else, I'm seeing near 100% coverage.
The only idiotic thing in all of this is the enduring reliance on single go to sources by so-called individuals making this army of unconscious drones called humanity, and which I'm giddily part of. Then, switching point of view, one can see how incredible this Internet experiment is for a semiconscious bystander actor and observer like me. All evolution flaws common to our species are now totally exposed to anybody daring to look at. Then, probably too many seek to profit from such perspectives, poisoning the well in the process. What a great time and place to be living in.
I like that! I’ll think about how I could incorporate it. Thanks!
I like Moleskin, Leuchtturm1917 and similar because they are bound nicely. For applications when I'm okay with spiral bound I really like Mead's Cambridge Limited. They're more expensive, but have a great paper-feel and the covers aren't too flimsy.

> Some of the kids experienced parents reading often to them, and little screen time. Other kids who’d had lots of screen time (more than one hour per day, the max recommendation by the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) and the WHO) throughout early childhood.

If this description is accurate (and I haven't gone to the source and I'll admit that popular media descriptions of scientific studies are often quite bad), the study experimental group seems likely to differ from the control group in two ways (parental reading time and screen time), and the one which isn't screen time is already known to have a significant effect of exactly the type being attributed to screen time. Which would make the study useless for drawing conclusions about screen time. It's quite possible for children to have parents reading to them often and more than an hour a day of screen time.

> If more screen time leads to less white matter development (as the study cautiously indicates), the results might be truly detrimental.

So, even with it's conclusion on screen time taken at face value (which it looks like to shouldn'tbe), the study indicates an effect which, if true, “might be truly detrimental”, but the headline is the total clickbait: “IT’S OFFICIAL: SCREENS ARE BAD FOR YOUNG BRAINS”.

That's not a plausible route of transmission. The virus would be embedded in a much larger particle of human mucus, and an N95 mask will do a fine job of filtering that out.

It's a realistic depiction of how this thing works (albeit for different reasons than the opposite of what you imply).

The issue is that employees, in general, are much, much worse at the employment game than their respective employer. This makes a lot of sense: Your employers job, after reaching some level, is to employ the right people (and even beyond that to hire the right people to hire the right people). That's it. That is all they do, all day.

Which leads to them getting good at everything involving the dance, including job negotiations and manipulating the employee/candidate in a way that serves their needs.

As a worker, your entire job is to do your job. No matter how many perks your company offers, getting better at your next salary negotiation will not be one of them. Of course, as a worker participates in this game more often, they gets better at it themselves – but there is no magic involved: It's a skill that you have to learn, in a very unfair and rigged setup.
Annual CC subscription may actually cause more churn on renewal. You need to remind the customer about the end of subscription cycle, which maybe an occassion to rethink the purchase.

Also I wouldn't automatically renew the yearly subscription without prior communication as that can result in unexpected charge on CC statement and thus a risk of charge-back.
Agreed, with perhaps a small wish of my own:

> Simple updates in the form of "Your work on X project is very important for the delivery of Y product, which the CEO identified as our top priority for retaining customers"

If, as a manager, you don't want me, your employee, to just smile politely and roll my eyes, make sure I can trust that when you say "top priority", then it's actually a top priority. Personally, I work better when I can identify and align myself with the goals of the organization (I'm a sucker for the "something greater"). But I hate the bullshit. "Your work on X is critical" is demotivating if I can tell that all work is described as "critical", and every project in the company is "top priority".
