Ask HN: How to get first beta testers?
Hi. I have a question about... marketing(?).
Not sure where the best place to find the first clients/testers who have sales managers and use phone calls (sale scripts).
SaleBeat.io provides sale script editor with 100% analytics coverage (not need to listen all calls to getting understand and keep control of how your sales going).

Very thank you for any advice.
P.S. Sorry for my English :)

I've seen sensible trunk-based development with feature & release branches (equiv to what MS call 'Release Flow') work well from small to huge (400+ devs) environments.
Cloud providers do not have much unused resource. Tricks like spot instances make sure that they are as close to 100% utilization as possible while still being able to handle a spike in demand.

The story is actually that they were WASHING, then ironing and reselling the masks through a Facebook channel.

I'm not saying I would wear one but it does change the story quite a bit when you find out it they were also being sold out of a second hand store.

I'm also more concerned with the fact that the government has taken over all inventory and distribution of new masks resulting in bread lines of sorts for them. This will breed true opportunists who wont bother washing let alone ironing used masks. (IMHO)

I hate discounts with special requirements (coupons, bonus cards, etc). Anyone can get the discount, but has to jump through pointless hoops to actually get it. Just give everybody the discount.

And I would love a shop that always gave low prices instead of temporary discounts. At least, that's what I keep telling myself; I don't actually mind paying more for quality products. There are a couple of very successful Dutch chains specialising in low prices (Action, Lidl), and I never actually go there. Instead, I go to more expensive shops that have exactly what I want but require a bonus card to claim the discount, which I do while hating it.

We're utterly irrational creatures, and I'm no different, apparently.

On the other hand, when I bought my first dishwasher, I found a model that was discounted from €300 to €200. I shopped around a bit more and found the exact same model at another shop for €200 and no discount. I bought it at the second shop. So there I clearly did prefer cheap over discounted.
I'd argue that the majority of victims are the result of humans suppressing their judgment. E.g. not because a human was incapable to drive safely, but purposedly chose to drive unsafely: overtake where it is limited visibility, speeding when conditions do not allow for it.

>There's a variant used by less reputable retailers where you pretend the product was being sold for a big price then offer a "discount".

Some countries have laws against this, that something can only be advertised as e.g. a sale if the product has had significant sales at the non-discounted price.
For those specific cases no, but it makes a great source to identify physical objects and their placement in the world. Obviously that can be done to a sufficient degree with just stereoscopic vision, but look at all of the autopilot fatalities from Tesla. All too often vision and radar data gets misinterpreted as "That must be an object to the side of the road" right up until it crashes into it. With lidar you can be sure you're not just looking at a radar reflection or getting the perspective wrong on a camera. Almost all of the large objects that you want to make sure you never hit will show up well with lidar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_Autopilot#Incidents

Just about every one of those fatalities can be summed up as "Tesla ignores large stationary object directly ahead". Lidar would have detected all of those objects and most likely prevented every one of those accidents. I think Tesla currently has the best vision and radar only system out there, so either the state of the art doesn't quite cut it yet without lidar, or there's a ML engineer at Tesla that really really hates fire trucks.
Which part of this is being made up? That improperly fitted mask isn't protective? That unless you very carefully handle a mask when taking it off, you'll transfer the contaminants from it onto your hands and/or face? That people compensate for risk[0]? That those masks are disposable and lose their protective power over short time (hours)?

They already had LIDAR, which can easily pick out static objects. The better radar means they have a lower-resolution fallback for poorer weather and longer ranges.

> When I think about minimising blast radius, I immediately think of bulkheads

This is an excellent model to have for high-reliability work. There are going to be failures, so the design should provide means of containing the failures.

The paper is also good at recognising the risk of cascade failures in failover systems, where a single excessive load causes a failure - but the process of trying to move the load elsewhere also becomes overloaded.
Energy efficiency doesn't necessarily comes from being better on full load. Smartphonechips provide tons of power saving mechanisms, true but also are quite limited on how they operate.

I assume that generic code on a x86 desktop cpu should be more efficient by watt/work in comparison on a mobile chip. I'm also not sure how a smartphone is rated for 100% cpu load 24/7

The bright colors and simple shapes in a subway map is not used to "distract from complexity". It is used to present complex information as clearly as usefully as possible. Would it be less patronizing to present subway users with a detailed topographic map?

In any case, using earth-tones or beige or whatever would not convey any more complexity. The author is just associating bright colors with childishness, but does not examine this deeper. Yeah kids like bright colors, so does people making air traffic control systems.
I would like to settle for both as Google does remove or demonetize unwanted content without valid justifications while still showing ads. I think youtube developed in a significantly worse direction for both content creators and users. It isn't the groundbreaking new platform for alternative content where the user decides what he wants to see.

Copyright law still needs a reformation. The incentive to allow preferential monetization of orginal content in exchange for making it public is probably more of a hindrance for digital content. In reality it serves large publishers that technically should play a smaller role by now, since content logistics are cheaper now. At least for the vast majority of creators.
FWIW, 1,000 orders of magnitude is an order of magnitude larger than a googol.

Also where these miles happen, and how long they take relative to a human driver (1.1x?) matter quite a bit.

edit: I've never shared a road with a self-driving car but I can't imagine I'd like it. I'm extremely patient with fellow meatbags (I work a lot of customer service, and enjoy it), but I'm not at all patient with software thinking it's smarter than it is. I also think people tend to underestimate how much "car-body language" is involved with driving as well, but I suppose that's the primary thing self-driving cars are learning.

Self-driving cars can also burgeon a surveillance state depending on how the fleet is implemented, particularly around what will be required for client-side redaction (pedestrians, license plates, windows etc). Keeping raw data locally for a period of time is fine in case of crash/malfunction, even backing it up encrypted with ephemeral keys can be well and good. But unfettered collection and access to unredacted data—perhaps something Google is drooling over—needs to be stopped cold.

That's fair, I've just taken the marketing at face value.

Though I ended the answer at the end asking whether Lidar adds incremental or exponential value? Do you think it adds exponential value ?

I'm not an autonomous car engineer so don't understand the nuances but from whatever basic information I've read it doesn't seem like Lidar's add exponential value.

> Your commit history is what you will use later down the line (think 6 months, a year, 2 years later) to find a very nasty yet incredibly subtle bug in your application.

No, it won’t. If I didn’t catch it then, I will have to read the code and understand it and spot it.

At work, where my builds take anywhere from 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the target, your git bisect on 1500 commits represents days of building and testing. Or I could just read the code again.

Commit messages should provide context for going through the process of rereading the code, and little else. If a commit message literally describes what the code does (“change constant from X to Y”), it’s self-describing and unnecessary.
Well, the idea is that you don't have to be limited by Tor's speed or handicaps like being IP blocked when web browsing, if you don't want that by default. We love Tails' amnesia for anti-forensics, but we prefer Whonix's more secure Tor anonymization, if you want to be anonymous. Now you can easily combine both benefits.
I think the point is to make a decoy OS that you can boot into if forced to unlock your laptop. Running on Tor would be highly suspicious.

The point of running this on Tails is to prevent the use of forensic tools inside the decoy OS to unearth what's underneath.
No they struggle because they don’t know the workflow which is what gitflow teaches them. Once they learn it things work very well and they go on to teach other people.

What's the new category? Currently in France there is:

- employment where you trade liberty (i.e. subordination) against protection (can't be fired at will, minimum wage, guaranteed income set in the contract...) from a company

- being an independent worker where you keep your liberty and do not get protection

If there is a third category like what Uber is currently doing, you trade your liberty (subordination) against no protection. It is not a new category, it is lowering the protection of employment. Which may or may not be a good thing, that's not my point, but I fail to see where's the new category of work.
Having worked over a decade in creating artistic works with children (and adults) I don't believe that to be true any more than to say "adults like Caravaggio, children like Mondrian".

Children draw basic forms and use basic colours because they don't yet understand how to interpret the world in a complex way. They abstract, and draw their abstraction - tables are square, therefore the image on the page needs to be square to be a table. Untrained adults do the same.

The hoops are the way such discounts are made affordable. If you're not willing to jump through those hoops you pay more which then subsidize those discounts for those who are willing to do so or otherwise unable to afford the product.

I started on SVN. Had a stint using TFS. Eventually wound up in git. I vastly prefer git.

We had simpler, easier to operate version control tools. Git traded off some of that simplicity for other benefits the community at large seems to value enough to have migrated away from the simpler tools.

I'm skeptical the "git is too complicated for newbies" cry is truly a turning point in tech cycle where we see the folly of our ways and begin to decry the current flavor of the month at the new anti-pattern after enough real-world experience has been accumulated to show us the error of our ways.

I think it's just "I don't like the way this makes me feel".
Or adapt the law that this farce isn't necessary in the first place. Because it is certainly broken.

I'd do the same, but not because "cheap over discounted", but because the second shop is honest, while the first one is trying to trick people.

An interesting article.

It seems to neglect the implications that UI infantilization has for trust between the user and what is being used. If the UI is presented as toy-like, and the user goes into play mode, how does this shape their willingness to trust the thing being used (and so, the company providing it).

I suspect that engendering trust in the user is a big motivator here these days.

I don't see how I'm pivoting to an argument when I'm explaining the decision. Call out the French judges who clearly lack your insights and deeper understanding of local laws.

I'm giving the context of the French legal case, you're arguing from an American market stand point. Yelp or eBay are barely blips in France, Lyft doesn't even exist.
Maybe Uber drivers are contractors in the US, but not according to French laws and market conditions as proven by the court decision today.

H&M joins ‘open innovation’. Plans to share its production chain with rivals
I disagree with the article.
there are pitfalls you can fall into using gitflow, but they're not inherent to that strategy.

pointing out the obvious: a master branch is technically redundant for gitflow. you just need to create a tag. it however makes it easier to visualize and think about the flow in regard to hotfixes.

next obvious point: you're just not releasing quick enough if merge conflicts become an issue with gitflow. personally, i think release branches are just quick snapshots you can use to safely run all tests against while other developers keep pushing features on develop. this gives you a short timeframe to merge bugfixes into the release branch, but it really shouldn't exist for > 2 days (one day to identify issues and fix them, another to verify that they're gone).

nor do i see any issue with continues integration, honestly...
gitflow just formalizes the way code goes into production. if anything, it makes it easier!
now you can automatically spin up new environments for release/* branches to automatically trigger a system test suite, appending the result to the release.

i dont get his issue of multiple repositories either... each microservice surely has a different version, no? so for what conceivable reason would gitflow create any issue here?

if you're a three man team, gitflow is probably unnecessary though. its meant for bigger projects with lots of developers pushing at the same time.
