> Any way you slice it, you're just pushing the problem around to different places.

There isn't a problem. There are many problems. Changes in strategy don't have to solve them all. It is entirely reasonable to prioritize which problem(s) get more attention when there are more than one. That's what this is about, prioritization, and an implicit recognition that one size does not fit all.

The excitement would be competition in the OS Market

Google did to phones what MS did to PC's. Dominated the OS market making it non-competitive. That is very bad for many reasons.

We need viable options and alternatives to iOS and Android.

Hardware is less exciting to me than the Software, and the Operating systems. Competition there would be nice

Big companies and organisations often have tightly controlled fixed budgets, and in my experience it's hard to get variable-rate services approved. In fact, even for a personal-use account, I'd rather have a fixed amount than risk that someone abuses my account and I end up with an astronomical bill that precludes food for the rest of the month.

Personally, I like services that cap you to a "degraded" service level once you go over your limit, say you get 20TB at full speed, but after that you're either throttled to 10Mbit for the rest of the month or you pay extra to have the rate limit lifted.

While I agree with some of the mutual benefits of per-use pricing, as a customer I would like some control to set usage restrictions at the upper limit of what I am willing to pay, specifically for services where I don't have much control over the actual usage.

Agree. I haven’t read all of Seeing Like a State yet, but it does contain quite a few hints about how to protect yourself from the power of states.

For example, states like to make their subjects “legible” to the state in specific ways, so deliberately becoming illegible is a defense mechanism.

Personally, I have been enjoying that the facial mask has surely been making facial recognition more challenging, though of course this is short-lived.

Why would you use a geolocation API in the first place? Nowadays there are better ways to find the location of the user, and they also respect user privacy more.
The way I see it is that frontend developers at the far far end of a product development funnel. When it gets to their computers any suggestions from them are laughed at and they need to just make it work.

Imagine a frontend dev saying “this way of doing things is unreasonable, lets just use this simpler and more robust method instead” - very few places would allow this.

So frontend devs naturally gravitate towards solutions that are infinitely customizable which ends up being dramatically over engineered.

I canceled a honest to god subscription to a newspaper online because they decided that even if I was logged in it was necessary to subject me to dozens of 3rd party trackers.

If all they wanted was information about what articles were doing well it'd be... okay, sure I guess though I wish they didn't decide what to publish based on that. But knowingly allowing their paying subscribers (and we're talking over a hundred dollars a year here for web-only) to be tracked by third parties is going too far.

What's the point in paying for a subscription if they're going to sell my private data for pennies even when I'm giving them decent money for access? It's insulting. Now I just delete their cookies and read for free (and without tracking). I'd rather give them money, but after two years of paying for a subscription I don't feel too bad about it.

I made clear to them why I was canceling my subscription -- if I'm paying you I'm not okay with you double dipping to sell my personal information. People viewing for free, okay, sure, I get it you want to make a little bit at least. Don't subject paying customers to this though.

The Biblical creation story seems strongly influenced by the older Babylonian creation story, for which we have written records. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/En%C3%BBma_Eli%C5%A1#Influence... points out:

> The Enuma Elis contains numerous parallels with the Old Testament, and has led to a general conclusion amongst some researchers that the paralleled Old Testament stories were based on the Mesopotamian work. Overarching similarities include: reference to a watery chaos before creation; a separation of the chaos into heaven and earth; different types of waters and their separation during the creation process; as well as the indirect textual similarity between the number of tablets and the number of days of creation: seven.

I therefore think it's difficult to say that Genesis 1 "seems like a prescient paradigm" when the roughly similar outline existed before Genesis was written. At the very least, the Enuma Elis should also be considered an equally prescient paradigm, yes?

It's not copyright infringement either. They are basically looking at your user agent features, country or whatever to sell you subscription, it's like upselling or even freemium. It's weird that people even entertain the idea of calling theft or copyright infringement the act of not going through someone's silly selling technique.

The Calculus of Contagion
Funny enough, people leaving a country do not necessarily want to cut out all investments in said country. Just reside (and pay income taxes) elsewhere. Original country could still reap benefits of the existing investments there.

This is one of the reasons exit tax has failed miserably around the world: it prevented good business people doing business in punitive countries in the first place.

What are the requirements?

- Made of ubiquitous simple components

- Provides "clean" air

- What flow rate?

- What cadence?

- What feedback mechanisms? Can it (or an operator) close the loop with cheap fingertip O2 sensors?

> I'm not selling them at a loss, if I can't get what I paid for them it means they are by definition worth less.

You have taken a loss. No one who holds the stock is taking a loss. That's why gains and losses can be "realized" and "unrealized."

> Because I do not want them anymore it mean that that market has one less buyer so demand decreases by at least one.

The demand curve shifts to the left, and since stock buyers and sellers are the same people, the supply curve shifts to the right, and, yes, the equilibrium price drops. (edit: Come to thnk of it, the supply curve doesn't change, since it only reflects shareholders and you're dropping out by design. Still, the price goes down.)

But... the company still has all the same employees, still has the same hard assets (real estate, machinery, etc) and is still earning money. The company's fundamentals remain unchanged by a boycott of its stock.

The dividends they pay out per share remain the same, since those are dictated by profits and those haven't changed.

Their investors' assets are worth slightly less, but those investors are the ones who bought your shares, so they actually get more dividends paid out to them.

You've thus managed to reward the people who held on to their stock by making it cheaper for them to acquire more shares.
For me the most interesting disruption is the low cost L1/L2 GPS such as Ardusimple combined with OpenAgGPS (https://github.com/farmerbriantee/AgOpenGPS) offers an alternative autosteer solutions that are currently add ons offered by manufacturers for $20 to 60k.

It's about half and half, when you consider the school year starts in daylight saving time, switches to standard, and then switches back. I don't see how changing the time kids go to school twice in the year is beneficial. And I certainly don't see how sleep-deprived bus drivers in the spring are an acceptable risk.
No you are not alone. I find it ugly as well. I have a feeling that most people just went with liking the design purely because it was pushed by Google. Classic case of "If you can't beat 'em, join 'em".

I was surprised how useful Dex has become, and yet no one seems to speak about it.

Currently the only thing holding me back is that my particular phone (S9+) has fairly limited resolution support. IIRC the Note models are supposed to do much better as they have a discrete GPU for Dex output.

But basically all my day-to-day development tasks can be done on Dex and a SSH/terminal app.

Even YC is open about the fact that they are wrong with rejections. Also agree on the problem with VC money as a measure of success, because it is not. And still it used, it seems, as the prime success indicator in everything start-up. And as such is the primary thing people seem to seek out. It is also very persuasive, sometimes I catch myself with a small amount of jealousy when someone in my field is raising multi-million rounds. And wouldn't even take that money if someone offered it right now.
I really wish these kinds of articles would take a less condescending tone. "stop doing this", "you should do that". No, I do whatever I want within the boundaries that my employer and the law have set.

I said in another thread...obviously a lot people in the 70's and 80's die anyway. How do we calculate cause of death in that case? If, say, 15% of 85+ yo people die anyway a year, will it matter if they died from regular flu or from this?

I liked when my train started offering digital tickets. I switched to using their app immediately. The first of the month would have very long ticket lines and you would have to arrive early. Not to mention their system always having load issues on the first of the month. Using the app, I could buy my ticket as I sat down on the train.
Sure. You can only do that once, though. Others have tried that throughout history, with the same previsible result: see Venezuela and other socialist "utopias".

All kinds of things. PDF is the unifying data exchange format for a lot of businesses who use computers at some end to manage things and need to exchange documents of any kind without relying on the old "can you open Word files?" type problems.

There is a wide world outside of consumers of SaaS products for every little niche problem.

Sometimes they are baked in processes that still use PDF's to share information, sometimes they're old forms of any kind, sometimes even old scanned docs that are still in use but shared digitally. A lot of the businesses that carry on that way are of the mind that "if it's not broke, don't fix it" which is quite rational for their problem areas and existing knowledge base. They might be a potential market at some point for a new solution, but good luck selling them on a web-based subscription SaaS solution when a simple form has been serving their needs for 30+ years.

OP's problem of the PDF being the go-between to digital endpoints is more common than you might think.

The universality I was referring to was the wide range of possibilities for how a given form might be laid out. And old documents contain a lot of noise when they've been added to or manipulated. Look inside an old PDF form from some small-medium sized business sometime. Now imagine 1000 variations of that form one standard problem. Then multiple that by the number of potential problem areas the forms are managing.

Also like OP said—it's not sexy, but it's very real and having an intelligent PDF form reader and consumer would be a time-saver for those businesses who aren't geared to completely alter their workflow.

The tool could do anything with the extracted data. If it allowed you to connect to any of your in house services (like payroll or accounting) either with a quick config/API or a custom patch, or Google Drive, or whatever without complications like online-required and web accounts especially. No whole solution like that exists to my knowledge. At least nothing accessible to the wider market.

> Wow, that's cool. I wonder if vision, dental, medical, hospital, prescriptions and mental are all covered without fees?

In Poland they are. With fixed monthly fee proportional to your income, 9%.

7.5% of it you can directly deduct from your income tax. So it's effectively 1.25% of your income.

The only additional money is for drugs (prescription ones too), but if the drug is expensive and you have a prescription you pay vastly reduced price, 50%, 30%, fixed low price, or free.

Of course there are wait times and you don't get top of the line materials so middle class people prefer to do dental and vision privately. No insurance needed there. You just pay 30$ to have your tooth fixed or 50$ for eye exam and new glasses if you pick cheap frames.
If I remember correctly it's mentioned in Building Microservices - Sam Newman. I confess I don't have it on me at the moment to confirm that though.
Been thinking along the same lines. The reason dockable mobile computers still don't exist is more to do with software than hardware.

I believe all mainstream OS's we have today, coming from the pre-mobile era are simply not suitable for this task. If it was possible at least Apple would have built a docakble computer already, and I'm sure they have considered it but probably realized their OS will be the bottleneck. It's already too heavy, there's too much legacy, and a complete rewrite would be an insurmountable task for them.

This problem requires a new, much more efficient and compact kernel/OS that will be free from the legacy of the pre-mobile era. Something designed specifically for low-power mobile devices, possibly with conceptually new kind of a file system with (I actually have some ideas what it could be).

Anyway, just some vague intuitive insights. This is an interesting problem, a niche that's opening in front of us right now, just begging to be filled with something new.
Then maybe "the country" should make it more appealing to stay?!
Where to center to is only one vector, the other is how much to zoom: ideally it’s such that the text block fits on the screen. But again, that requires knowing the bounds of the text block. Zooming by a constant wherever you tap is a much less useful feature for text (vs. a map for instance), but I think it’s what we defaulted to (can’t remember if it was that of just nothing).
