Ask them for feedback or their email, or just float the idea past people in a post. If they readily want to join a waitlist or check it out usually people will comment. Then it's up to you to create enough of a good UI and product etc. that when you send them a link they actually want to use it. Otherwise rely solely on comments/feedback. Here's an example thread where I did this:

When they ask for a feature, build it immediately if it seems like something smart to build. They will think you are a god because people are used to crappy customer service where they don't even get a response for days. So instead of waiting days to respond, build the features in a few days and respond that you built the feature. Then ask them nicely for a review and you will get 5 stars.

Ping the people who you know are power users. Also email every single new signup and ask how they like it.

It takes a long time to do the experiment. A few years isn't enough. The suburban pattern experiment was enacted without any control group and now we're finally recognizing that it didn't work out as we hoped. Now that people are realizing that Jane Jacobs was on to something, we have to experiment to go forward.

The default in America is going to be what we're familiar with. Continue building the next subdivision on the nearest farmland or forest. Run more roads to it, widen the current ones to handle the new traffic, watch as the people pull up stakes in their current suburbs and move out, leaving the existing ones to decay.

Towns that follow a different approach will be able to see results in different timescales, but hopefully we will relearn how to build towns that can last generations.

They've been keeping abreast.

The co-founder, Tim Kentley Klay was somehow able to get Jesse Levinson on board, and Jesse Levinson had no problem getting infinite street cred on board. So they were able to attract a lot of key, original robotics talent before the hype got out of control.

For a long time though, they were low on funds, so they did lots of closed course testing, and it wasn't until they closed a large funding round that Zoox began on public roads, and they performed quite well right out of the starting gate.

Now Zoox and it's competitors are lost in an endless wasteland of testing, development, and validation. It's futile to attempt to do a comprehensive analysis between the different players, they all have their quirks, but Zoox has built all the critical infrastructure needed to do full scale testing, and they're eyeballs deep in it like everyone else.

However, Zoox has stormy waters ahead financially. They need another $2 billion to stay abreast in this never ending race. It's getting harder to visualize scenarios where that happens.

What nobody can do well enough to build a competitive and scalable robotaxi service is prediction in multi-agent scenarios. The AI for that just doesn't exist.
For testing you can set "CELERY_ALWAYS_EAGER" to "True" in your config.

This is all about tricking people, and nothing about designing pricing to match the value provided.

Pricing, especially for software products, is one of the biggest levers for increasing revenue through new and even current customers. It’s very important to get it right, and to experiment occasionally. (I know because I’ve done it for companies.) It involves a lot more than growth-hacking the pricing page.

Great visualizations - I'd love to see this done with hospitalizations though as case count overestimates r given increasing testing. (Granted hospitalizations are also breaking down recently due to recent disproportionate nursing home infections)

E.g. CA is unlikely to have had an r above 2 even at beginning of March, but this is calculating close to 3. (Source: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.12.20062943v...).

After testing this for 30 minutes it made me actually Donate money to the HeidiSQL project, as it fits my workflow MUCH better.

It has a couple of annoying bugs but it's feature set develops in general much more along my actual needs.

The Redis implementation of TablePlus is rather worthless to me compared to what Redis Desktop Manager does as it doesn't sensibly group keys, it doesn't give me much information about the relevant redis metrics (memory usage especially).

Over in the MySQL side of things of TablePlus I like the way it structures its filters and the way I can actually copy a column of values in sensible formats, but besides these two features i'm much happier with HeidiSQL, so that's where I put my money.
Yes, this feature is not available in a standard Windows installation for a number of reasons.

As so often, these big survey projects lag considerably. At some point in time, these dimensions were most interesting, and it must have been very satisfying to see them explain such a big amount of variance in such a low dimensional space.

I used to have a blog, and I miss it, but I realized long ago that no one gives a shit about anything I have to say. Still have a domain, there's nothing on it, though.

Sometimes I think I'd like to start one up again but, you know, people expect blogs to be put out by experts now - I just did it because I enjoy writing but there's no point if no one is reading, and the people who do expect more from you than you're willing or able to give.
Looks like you can create a PR about on the notebook and/or run it now if you're curious: https://github.com/k-sys/covid-19/blob/master/Realtime%20R0.... as the data source has territories and the capital but they filtered out anything that's not a state.

Take it apart board by board, stack it on palettes, then ship it via space shuttle. Reassemble at the destination.
Ruralites can (and often already do) drive 4WD vehicles and run generators (or nowadays solar + batteries) for power. In an extreme case, they'd be at least somewhat willing to revert to horses and candles (hell, quite a few might even consider that fun). It'll take adjustment, but it ain't an insurmountable problem.

The far bigger concern is that very few (if any) rural towns in the US have self-sustaining food supplies. Cut off their access to the outside world, and there's a very high probability that they'll starve just as quickly as a larger city will. American agriculture has shifted hard from diversified/robust subsistence farming to large-scale industrialized monocrop farming, so you'd have to rewind a century or so of "progress" in order for a rural town to be able to feed itself. This is also not an insurmountable problem, but the effects are quite a bit more dire.

(I am not a scientist) I remember seeing someone talk about the risk of re-infection when this all started. They said that they only way to fully know if the virus has mutated would be to do a full sequence of the virus comparing the first infection with the second. It will be interesting (and possibly scary if has mutated) to see what is causing this second re-infection of patients that are supposedly recovered.

Here's an article talking about people getting re-infected at the end of Feb. https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-spread-after-recover...
my scheme is this:

subnet a router;
place a webdav capable server on one of the subnets;
port forward request at the wan side of the router to the server.
you will need a static public IP or else, update the public IP to a domain name [DNS]

the effect is someone can go to your server using a browser
that can "speak" webdav

the subnetting is for security if you share the router with the rest of your network, or you can just use a dedicated router for your server to live in.
Just serialize, sign, pack the signature and the raw bytes of the serialization. Doesn't matter how, just gotta pack the raw bytes, not futz with it
Developers do want to get involved, but you're right that homeowners often fight changes to zoning. Not all homeowners, but enough. People who live in single family homes often think that multifamily dwellings are going to destroy the value of their property somehow. Since the zoning laws are on the books, changing them is much harder than maintaining the status quo, which is on the side of NIMBYs.

I do not like the idea of sending an interrupt and cause a havoc on OS side every time two metal plates bounce off each other.

In my experience with a variety of switches and microcontrollers this actually isn't too big of a deal as it used to be. It is worth testing out, but I think it's worth testing before investing a lot of hardware/software development on it. Adding some resistance or a simple RC low-pass filter can help, and also many microcontrollers come with basic anti-bounce inputs.

As other posters said another easy effective strategy is to just ignore inputs after the initial transition. You can do this and still pick up long presses too if you need to!

> The only solution is to ban defined benefit pensions (and all deferred compensation schemes) so there no longer exists one less avenue for future taxpayers to get taken for a ride.

Then you'll have to raise wages for government jobs dramatically. The decent pension is one of the perks that attracts people to those careers.

I think the main problem is that governments never want to pay into the pension pot during boomtimes, and then they cry poverty when the economy is in a downturn. In principle, an "immortal" entity like a state pension fund should be much better positioned to manage risk over time than a single individual with only one lifetime and one 401(k).
I’ve had similar, albeit easy to solve, problems with key formats when signing emails.

But that isn’t a reason why scuttlebutt isn’t more popular. It only takes one Go implementation and the problem is solved permanently.

> Indeed, AVX2 has a bit of a quirk where regular registers (%rax and the like) cannot directly be transfered to the SIMD ones with a MOV; it must go through RAM (typically the stack), which costs both latency and two CPU instructions (MOV to the stack, VMOV from the stack).

I don't think this is quite correct. You can move efficiently from r64 to XMM/YMM without going through memory with MOVQ/_mm_cvtsi64_si128. I'm not able to look into it more closely right now, but these links should give insight:

https://www.felixcloutier.com/x86/movd:movq

https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide...

My vague recollection is that you might be right that this is clumsy with AVX2. Maybe it's a case where you have to take advantage of the fact that XMM1 and YMM1 are same register, and cast the YMM to XMM? Or just drop to inline assembly.

But thanks for the writeup, and I hope to be able to look at Shishua more closely at some point in the future.
I was both, not enough accelerated and too much accelerated.

I went normally through school and all the standard classes. However, I also started studying computer science at the university when I was 13 years old.

That is really bad for socializing. In school, I had to deal with the usual problems of dealing with ordinary kids, and at university I could only socialize with full-grown adults, who do not care much for a teenager.

Also frustrating, when I turned 18, I had almost finished my university degree, but was also still going to highschool. It would have been better to skip school grades. Now I am 30 and basically never had a social relationship
Debouncing is a useful concept in software design too.

Many UI elements are all too eager to emit hundreds of state update events (like a slider) as the user is finalizing the input they want - but you wouldn't want to send 100 AJAX requests to the webserver while the user's fiddling around. So resetting a 200ms timer before sending the web request is a great analog to the process of physical debouncing.
Correct. Testing is only a good measurement with massive testing, even randomized testing.

And given how the market has turned in SV and beyond, what's your read on how the space will play out?
