Came here for this. I've had so many struggles with big enterprise data where engineers who design the schema think empty strings and nulls should have meaningful distinctions, but the humans involved in creating that data (who are not engineers) somehow break those assumptions, so when the data migrated elsewhere, inevitably it gets collapsed back down to null and empty string being identical.
That's what I am wondering too! Perhaps Libreboot can make progress and we could have completely free systems with more up to date hardware after all? That would be so great.
I think OP is saying that DO will delete all of those things if your credit card expires. Even if you have those features in place, you will lose everything.

And all of it highly digitized with 3-4 generations of technical debt and path dependencies that needs to be dealt with before any mobile/saas solution will be anything but a waste of time/money for the organizations involved.

Where you see badly digitized enterprise organizations with high admin overhead you always find an hugely expensive mid/late 90ies windows PC centric client/server environment in place blocking nearly all attempts to migrate back to anything centralized enough to support an modern saas solution. i.e. the problem is rarely that they are undeserved but that they are stuck with an nearly good enough computer platform and too much complexity for anyone to attempt an big bang replacement.

i work in one of the niche's you mention and we are 110% digitized with about 5 different solutions in place for every task causing an ton of manual cleanup when they inevitable fail to talk to each other correctly.
The grain industry. Specifically grain elevators.

There are a few mid-sized companies that control a large chunk of that industry. Since they don't have much competition, innovation is more or less at a stand still. Companies like bushel ag are changing that, but lots of opportunity.
Thanks for sharing with your mom :)

Both your mom and dad come at this in different ways but point to what we're trying to do. Kids get a pediatrician to help with their child's health, but then not much for everything else and so they rely on the health system when it's not needed.

Of course we have to be very careful not to go the other way - we can't have a single parent use us when they should be going to the health system. We make sure all our experts are on top of that - in fact, we hope that having close contact with a child development professional will help early diagnosis.
Not only is an easily discovered public event poor leverage, it becomes much worse leverage if it comes up in an interview.

When companies (or governments) try to manipulate employees, they frequently rely on some kind of willful ignorance. Wells Fargo is a great example: they set impossible performance targets and turned a blind eye to fraud, then fired and blacklisted whistleblowers - ostensibly for knowing about that same fraud!

If a shady employer wants leverage, even public events can suffice as long as they can claim ignorance. For example, most stock option grants are immediately lost if you're fired, but even at-will employment can't be terminated specifically to deprive someone of their options. So an employer might give a generous options package, then "discover" the IG video and use it for dismissal at just the right time to prevent a profitable exercise. But if that video comes up during hiring, it's no longer a plausible reason for later dismissal, at least without committing perjury regarding the interview.

I can't even work out a scenario where "lots of people know about this including us" is an effective way to manipulate someone.

Sure, but if this were a case where they offered just a generic form email with no real explanation, why wouldn't OP put it in the post? That would support the cause that this is Quora acting badly. Instead, there's just the vague reference to it, which suggest the actual communications are being left out for a reason.
PowerShell 7.0: a more Unixy Powershell
Obligatory surveillance capitalism subthread incoming.

1) uBlock Origin blocked 30 things within a minute of loading your main page. I understand you're a startup and want to measure things, but given the extremely sensitive nature of your subject domain, this is not a reassuring welcome.

2) Privacy Policy - it looks like you've made some headway towards being compliant with EU regulations, but stopped halfway short. That's understandable (you want to focus on a smaller market first). However, there are some mentions about passing data to marketing[0], like:

"We may share the information we collect about you (...) With vendors, consultants, marketing partners, and other service providers who need access to such information to carry out work on our behalf;", or:

"To our third-party vendors and service providers so that they may provide support for our internal and business operations, including for the processing of payments, handling of data processing, data verification, data storage, surveys, research, internal marketing, delivery of promotional, marketing and transaction materials, and our Services maintenance and security. These companies are authorized to use Your Information only as necessary to provide these services to us and are contractually obligated to keep Your Information confidential;"

I hope that in the future you'll go into details about with whom exactly you share what information, and what for (as will be required if you'll ever want to do business with EU customers), and also on how exactly you anonymize and de-identify data. Again, you're dealing with pretty sensitive information here; as a parent, I need to feel confident that I won't be feeding my kid to the advertising machine.

On a positive note, I do like the idea of your service, and would happily use something like this, as long as I can feel safe about the information I disclose.

I am for the Canadian ones - where I can easily count the provinces. I am indeed too lazy to do the math on how much each of the fifty states leverage in taxes but it looks like they tend to come out well below 50% (except for CA, which is fair). Specifically, CT caps out at 43%, NY is at 45%, CA is at 49% and TX is 37% - since there are 0% state income states I find it reasonable to assume that rich people concerned with income taxes will chose to live in one of those 0% income tax states.
Quite simple, you'd borrow a lump sum and the bank would accept on the basis you have a guaranteed income and therefore able to make the repayments.

Is that anything but conjecture? I see a study showing that UBI is a "good thing", and you didn't provide a source for your reasoning.

Edit: to all those saying that the parent comment is straightforward, or common sense, or whatever, it's not straightforward or common sense because I disagree that UBI would be a failure. No one knows what would happen under UBI, but these types of studies give some evidence as to what is going to happen.

Everyone saying the parent is correct is basically similar to saying we should stop studying fusion because it's common sense we'll never achieve it (there are people who say that, too).

It's a good first step to study this, at least, and goes to show we need to test UBI on a greater scale.
That line of thinking is next to insane. You should be happy he is not somewhere on the yaht drinking $20K whine every night.

Not just capacity - robustness.

No of course there were no identical products only differing by whether the battery was replaceable.

But that is irrelevant. If it was important to people, phones without replaceable batteries would have been slower to sell and manufacturers would have adapted.

Samsung threw hundreds of designs against the wall looking for an edge, and they all failed except for the ones closest to the iPhone in design or bigger than the iPhone.

Customers did have a preference for larger phones, which Apple was forced by the market to concede, but not for replaceable batteries.

No, but those aren't the jobs under consideration here. The President can usually check with advisors and take five minutes or a couple of weeks to work out a response. "Nuclear button" is the only one of the items listed that would be a five-minute response; policies can easily wait a week or more to work out. How long did it take to put the ACA together?

Well, FWIW, Pharo certainly exists and people use it (not me, but some people); and while IMO it's too soon to say anything concrete about Dark lang concerning its uptake/adoption, it does exist and some people are using it.

But what I'm saying is the very absence of better tools in common use (in 2020!) is telling.

IMO it's unprofessional that e.g. type inference is only coming to mainstream languages/frameworks in the last decade or so. ML is over forty years old!

Or check out the "new representation of conditional logic called schematic tables" in Jon Edwards' Subtext experimental language/IDE ( http://www.subtext-lang.org/ https://vimeo.com/140738254 ) Something like that would be very useful if it was integrated into IDEs but it's barely known, eh?

Instead we concentrate on creating bold new flavors of C++, Python, Java, Javascript, or even Dart, Swift, Go, etc... or ReasonML, Typescript, ... I can't even keep going. You know what I mean.

We play with toys, for a living. It's unprofessional. ;-)

>> a Seattle appeals court said on Wednesday. It’s neither a public forum nor a “state actor”, and it can’t be held to First Amendment court oversight as if it were a government body.

>> »violation of First Amendment protection of free speech. That argument doesn’t fly, the appeals court said on Wednesday, given that YouTube isn’t a public forum

The big mistake people make is that youtube is a public platform/forum. It is not, it's a privilege that their server accepts your browser's request, not a right. They have every right to refuse for any reason they want. Same for videos you upload there, them holding it is a privelege, not a right.

It's in company's best interest to make people believe that it's a public forum, because people will start using it every day. In case of google, people use their browser to visit their website, sometimes using their ISP (google fiber), and log in using their account. As soon as you do something google doesn't like, you risk losing access to one of those, because it's not actually yours, it's a service provided as a privelege, unfortunately.

Not sure how these robot experiments are related to the cybernetic tortoises.

The Johns Hopkins Beast (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johns_Hopkins_Beast) held an almost mythological sway over my imagination when I learned of it in the early 1960's. Lee Hoevel, then a graduate student of Mike Flynn, spoke affectionately of the beast and the noises it made in its nocturnal foraging for electric power sockets on the 2nd floor of the lab where he began his graduate work.

Digging into the pre-history of another experience turned up the following story. Thanks to Bruce Koball who was there.

Briefly, in 1987, Key Dewdney attended the Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop. In conversations with John Wharton and Bruce Koball, he challenged them to come up with a realization of Valentino Braitenberg's thought experiment as described in his monograph "Vehicles: Experiments in Synthetic Psychology" https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/vehicles. The prize was entry to the exclusive First Conference on Artificial Life to be held that fall Los Alamos National Labs.
http://alife.org/conference/alife-1 John and Bruce took up his challenge; Bruce built the h/w (using a gutted radio-controlled model car) and John wrote the firmware. As a "front-end" we used a simple neural net simulation program written for Macintosh called "MacBrain" that Bruce had been experimenting with. It had a nifty GUI which allowed him to define neural net topologies on-screen and then download the net into the vehicle via an async serial port where it was executed in John's code. Their vehicle debuted at A-Life 1 in 1987, and then was shown again at the annual AMW (the Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop) and in Stanford's iconic Colloquium, EE380. Then, at Fred Coury's urging, Bruce wrote a brief paper, "A Test Vehicle for Braitenberg Control Structures", on our efforts for COMPCON Spring 1988. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/3496636_A_test_vehi... [Bruce R. Koball, Motion West, Berkeley; bkoball@well.com, bkoball@motionwest.com]

I, Dennis Allison, was an observer and not a participant in both these anecdotes. It was inspiring to see Bratenburg vehicles (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braitenberg_vehicle), designed as a thought experiment, actually demonstrate very complex behaviors even though the control program used a very simple rule set. John released several vehicles during the RATS session at the annual Asilomar Microcomputer Workshop where they scurried about under tables and chairs. Some hid, others vamped. They were an immediate hit, a showstopper with an audience of jaded techies. It took a while to find them all as some went into deep hiding mode. Later, John repeated the release as part of an EE380 Colloquium talk at Stanford, but Terman Auditorium lacked the hiding spaces Asilomar provided.
When I say signals, I don't necessarily mean traffic lights.

Would traffic flow continuously from every entry point to the intersection in an "interleaved" manner (setting aside the complexifier that is pedestrian traffic)? Or would there still be a "signal" (visual, over the network, or otherwise) which blocks some vehicles while others pass through? Or, perhaps, the configuration of intersections will change so significantly that this conception of an intersection will be rendered irrelevant?
Any plans to include children with disabilities? This seems like the perfect service for parents of children with Autism.

My wife is a special education teacher, and she is like an Autism whisperer. She is amazing. It's incredible to see her understand and communicate with nonverbal children. What often appears to be a temper tantrum to most, can actually be a communication effort.

It is a lot of fun to watch her work her magic.

This is going to sound cliched, but I'm doing this in part for the people who can't do this. I have the flexibility to do this, and I kind of figure "from me, according to my ability". If it improves the situation, then I've succeeded to some small extent.

Everyone else: if you can't stick your neck out, DON'T.

(Also, some people want to hire you because you're a straight shooter and you don't stand for bullshit. It's not burning bridges, it's finding the ones that weren't worth a damn in the first place. The good ones will still be there, and will be even stronger for it.)

I added my comment as a data point. One that I find is often overlooked or not talked about. How that data point is considered is something else.

As for how an economic system considers perceives immorality is a long winded conversation. Which economic system? What are rewards vs weapons in that economic system? For example, an economic system could reward work with money and not make money a given. Part of the idea is to look at rewards and how they work in a culture as well.
I have a similar problem with batching questions in email, though.

In an average day I open more than 100 terminal windows (alt-escape which opens rxvt-unicode). Use most briefly, then they vanish behind other windows.

Every-so-often, when I get in a mess with alt-tab I run killUnusedTerminalsAndBC.sh, which kills the dozen or so bc instances that accumulate, and then kills any terminals which don't have anything running in them. I've done that a couple of times today, just did it again and killed another 10 hanging around. Most of the rest are idle, but sshed to other servers, so they don't get reaped.
It's sad that you think your priorities should be everyones' priorities. Find like-minded people and get to work. But what people get inspired of is none of your business to judge.

Most of American management cannot tell the difference between motion and progress.

While I don't want to dismiss your extra effort as improving your results, I suspect that the value placed on your behavior by management may have been out of proportion with objective truth.

I'm also concerned with whether you were Defecting, in a Prisoner's Dilemma sense. Management always sets unreasonable deadlines as long as anybody agrees with them. Only when people are unanimous that this is crazy do they ever seem to back off.
> we offer a 30-day no questions asked money-back guarantee.

So my perspective on that is "I'll forget", because the cancellation is something on my shoulders. I'd rather have a free intake/lightweight coach session, where we feel each other out, and move forward from there, where we get charged if we continue, or not charged if not. That's a model I've seen for talk counseling.

I don't know what's the best for you as a company, though. Pricing is ticklish for consumer services, and I'm sure its even worse for health oriented services.
I'd be fine with either, and I think it'd also help with price-gouging like Turing Pharmaceuticals engaged in with Daraprim.

A public drugmaker could be obligated to have implemented processes to manufacture every approved drug. If a maker engaged in price-gouging, or had its facilities disrupted, the public drugmaker could supply an alternative supply at fair prices.
IMO, it's because the black of the original logo takes up space, and keeps the BMW text and the inner circle grounded to a larger context.

Without the black, the text and the circle are just hanging out at the top of the outer circle, unbalanced against a large empty space at the bottom of the outer circle.

EDIT: Another way of putting it is that it looks like the text and inner circle could just bounce around inside the outer circle—they are "loose", and, as I said above, ungrounded.
Option types can require exhaustive matching. So where there can be a NULL, you would have to address it. The syntax can make it pretty easy to handle typical cases.

I suppose everyone's situation is different. I was self-employed and had the opportunity to just work more and earn more at the time. The luck part of that equation is that I wasn't earning 35k, but I'm sure there are people on this forum earning more than I was at peak regardless.

I personally really enjoy working, and never felt that working 80+ hours was a burden. To be honest I actually look forward to getting up and getting to it most days.

With all that said, the growth I had just wouldn't have been possible on 40 hours a week of work. So I credit the long hours with the creation of a lot of the luck and opportunity I experienced in my life.
