>What’s the alternative? That parents don’t invest their time, money, and attention on their children, instead hedonistically consuming every last bit of whatever they have for their own adult pursuits?

Of course parents should invest in their kids and try to give them every opportunity. But, there's a big difference between parents investing in their kids and advocating a status quo that every parent "scrimp, save, and sacrifice" to give their kids a fighting chance. It's a poor design.

One, it will invariably leave some kids behind, especially given our current wealth disparities. And, yes, even some "gifted" kids will be left behind.

Two, giving kids opportunities shouldn't bury parents and push them to the brink. Education is too high. Housing is too high, etc. In many cities, housing costs are driven by a desire for areas with better public schools, pushing them so high that they are out of reach for many.

So, no amount of scrimping, sacrificing, etc. will allow people of certain income levels to provide their kids certain opportunities. They're doing these things just to survive.

Three, there is an opportunity threshold that provides for a minimum reasonable expectation for a good quality life. Beyond that, it's largely incremental. For too many, that minimum threshold is uncrossable, irrespective of their best efforts.

And, this doesn't even speak to the fact that stressed out parents working multiple jobs to provide these opportunities spend less time with their kids--that being a proven marker of outcomes.

The result: what you advocate is unhealthy and unworkable. This "scrimp & sacrifice" scheme is sub-optimal for both personal fulfillment and maximizing social contributions. Both things are necessary for a happy, thriving society.

Elsewhere you said you'd like to "ensure people of all conditions can develop their potential". Advocating that each parent scrimp & sacrifice is in direct opposition to this.

>To be clear, I said “average” not “unenjoyable”

You also said:

>If you’re the average person, I think it’s reasonable to expect an average outcome. In the modern world that should still be quite an enjoyable life

If average people have average outcomes, leading to an enjoyable life, then it stands to reason that "below-average" people will have below average outcomes, leading to...what exactly?

I think you want to sweep that under the rug b/c it doesn't comport with your "hey, if all parents just scrimp & sacrifice everything will be OK" proposition.

In all, your theories about how things should work necessarily omit the existence of a large portion of the population: everyone is somehow "average" and above, providing an "enjoyable" life for all, and parents investing in their kids means foregoing one extra Starbucks run per-week.

They can't afford not to!

> I am happy to walk a while to get to the closest bus stop so I can get to the tube.

You're lucky that you have access to walkable pavements, busses, and a tube. That's a lot of privilege! I'd sure they'd be happy to use those as well! But many people don't have access to those things, and if they want to get anywhere they need to pay taxis.
It would be interesting to see resting heart-rate plotted vs this as well -- from my observations lack of sleep tends to impact that a lot.

It does not matter what people value, it matters what market values. And for the market having a yoga CEO is not a selling point for a car.
What I wonder is how often the "remove" operation happens. I'd wager it's more likely there are many services doing variations of the same thing, but existing ones are hard to kill because there is a web of dependencies.
See my advice about trying to make it a chain.

Once you've done it twice maybe three times, you don't want to reset the progress. Over time it gets easier (because you're making a habit) and because there's even more of a ritual involved.

You'd be undoing all the hard work you've done. You won't break it.

Some still exist, but you are right, most people moved to Reddit, Facebook, Discord, etc... If people can't one-click log into a site using FB/Google or their existing Discord account, then it will be a tiny community at best. Forum software is still actively maintained however. They might regain traction if there were simple ways to integrate them into Discord [1] or FB with SAML auth.

I am not sure the current state, but they were looking for a CTO in ~2019 for what seemed like a very long time. Current CTO specializes in ML, so maybe current team isn't really aware of working in the real universe of large applications w/ partners and partner communication. (Conjecture)

Curious about what you're doing. I also dedicate a good amount of time each day to learning, but am still pretty skeptical about the ROI for some of the things I'm doing. I spend a lot of time on Coursera, reading eng. blogs, watching WWDC videos (since I do iOS).
Oakland and SF’s ‘slow streets’ aren’t going away – that’s a good thing
Yeah, I had that thought too. Briefly. Clearly, Tesla has bunch of stuff apart from its CEO (who just happens to hit news headlines often).
As a long time Strava it's obvious they have a tiny engineering team. They do a good job of keeping the lights on but have little ability to ship new features other than paid partner integrations.
I use my bicycle every day, but some people don't have that option. Also I normally use Uber more than once a month. The thing is, a car is way too much of hassle to use most of the time in the city. You need to park it, there's traffic, and then you can't drive drunk or so I've been told.
I find rules helpful. When I had a rigid schedule I had an alarm clock rule: "When the alarm clock rings you get out of bed. No snooze. You can sit on a chair, but you can't be on the bed." Sometimes I would sit on a chair and fall asleep and then end up on the floor. Generally, once I was out of the bed the day would just start.
About 20 years ago I slept an average of three hours a night for three years straight. No ill effects that I could discern. Just another anecdote; not suggesting that the plural of anecdote is data.
I'm a "cyclist" who absolutely loves Strava and I couldn't care any less about segments or leaderboards or beating my friends on their favorite hill. I just like to track my bike rides. I know there's a core group of hardcore cyclists who use the app like you do, but I wonder if there isn't a much wider group of people who think it's cool to track their rides and that's it.
Barr faults Apple for failing to help in terrorism case
You're unemployed now. It's not a bad use of your time. There are two levels here:

Level 1: There's a basic web site. Think of it as fizz buzz. I can see you have a basic sense of style -- web site aesthetics, code quality, etc. You don't need a lot, but what's there ought to be sane, sensible, and good.

Level 2: There are a few awesome things on it. Something clever, or something which shows some technical prowess.

It can't really hurt; if it's not fancy, I'll assume you didn't have time. If you have typos, blink/marquee tags, and syntax errors, I'll pass. But the more information you bring to the table, the better.

Right now, what people know about you is you passed a few reasonably rigorous interviews -- Tesla and Uber. Given you passed those, you'd likely pass more technical interview too (which is not the same as getting a job offer). Weaker companies might hire based on that. Stronger wants will want more signal. Anything you can do to generate that signal will help.

As a footnote, you included the line "I developed tooling for real time data through graphql subscriptions and grpc streaming. I built a protobuf to graphql schema generator tool. I have extensive experience with React hooks and making Redux-less applications. I was on the Uber Elevate team and brought several applications from 0-1." Put that in you linkedin.

There's a hierarchy I use when I look at resumes:

1) Weakest: Applicant worked somewhere. ("I was a software engineer for bagels.com")

2) Weak: Applicant worked on / with something. ("I worked on the customer database for bagels.com")

3) Average: Applicant accomplished something ("I increased the performance of the customer database of bagles.com by 25%, saving the company $50k/year in server costs and reducing latency")

4) Strong: Applicant accomplished something which justified their salary ("I rewrote the Fortran applicant database of bagles.com in node.js, moving it from a mainframe to AWS. This resulted in 25% higher customer conversion rates, and saved $500k / year.")

5. Strongest: Applicant accomplished something clever and technically impressive ("I built a pipeline which could render photorealistic bagle sandwiches for bagles.com prior to customer orders. This increased customer conversion rates 5x. I used [insert set of technically impressive techniques].")

The higher up you go that chain, the more likely you are to get the job you want.

I'm talking about preventing Google from exercising that power, not giving that power to the government. No one is proposing to repeal the first amendment.

I'm very much in favor of a proliferation of choices on the internet, but we don't really have that at the moment, and we need regulations that cover the situation we actually find ourselves in, not the ideal situation.

Without a doubt. For comparison a 13” MacBook Pro can drive two 4K displays plus the internal display at 2880x1800, all at 60Hz, from an integrated GPU.

> "Amazon should have been fined billions for those infractions."

They were not infractions, that was the tax code. Governments (whether you like it or not) decided that in order for these markets to grow, they need to forgo taxes on them for a while until they reach critical mass. They weren't skirting the law, so you can't 'fine' Amazon (or any online retailer) for that.
No, they are saying that having a discussion about how to deal with the pandemic is a little more above board than someone arguing that it's a 5G conspiracy.
>I have no incentive to start preparing tasks or being organised because I've come to enjoy the thrill of doing everything in the last minute.

I tend to do this a lot and so far it's managed to work for things that actually have deadlines, though it always ends up being more stressful. I find though, with things that don't have deadlines it kind of falls apart and last minute just becomes never happens.
I remember being at Droidcon or some Android specific conference years ago.... When Uber was presenting the speaker said "I'm sure everyone here knows what it's like to work on an app that hundreds or thousands of devs are all contributing to at once!" and the entire crowd just looked at each other like dogs do when they hear a very high pitched sound.
He claims this, but it's far from certain. The argument that public healthcare will be "basically zero sum" with superior coverage is one built on flawed assumptions, with cherry-picked data, and ultimately overestimates the potential savings.

Jetbrains products are absolutely critical if you're using a dynamic, uncompiled language and to turn down the offer is professional misconduct even if it requires buying a new computer with more ram.

> Would I suggest it to others? No. There were other issues I had with the plan, more societal. And it was frustrating to not be able to focus on something for more than 3.5 hours at a time. But it certainly was an interesting time.

This mirrors what I found in airforce studies about the uberman schedule. The overall gist was: The uberman schedule, if executed well, gives a person more time in a day awake without severe drawbacks. Whatever "severe" means.

However, they also found that dudes following the uber schedule suffered more from interrupts in sleep schedules. On a singular 6-8 hour sleep situation, you can go 13-16 hours with little pause or sleep without much trouble. More with some trouble. Candidates on the uberman schedule crashed a lot harder on sleep deprivation.

I can attest to this. A HealthKit duplication bug (all your rides got duplicated in Apple Health app) was lingering with Strava for over 2 years. A large group of people interacted with their support/engineering to fix it, nothing came out of it, people left.
> In a sufficiently dense area, there is clearly a market for app-summoned taxis (for various values of who owns/maintains/pays for said cab)

Oh well. For sure, but it's a pretty vague statement, isn't it? We're not talking about some modest value that can keep some small company running; we're talking about $75 billion value. I'm sure that not one, but many small companies can thrive providing local services to taxi drivers collecting and dispatching hails. But that's a far cry from that to a single global company valued at almost a hundred billion dollars.
> Google is probably one of the most resilient brands worldwide. Even in America it's well trusted. For good reason.

Two types of trust though. Trust in the products which they've earned in spades, and trust to moderate political speech which they have not.

This story is suggesting that they are willing to enforce standards set by the Chinese propaganda departments - which is to be expected, really, given their interest in regaining a presence in China. They aren't trustworthy in the political sense.
I would be happy to subscribe if Strava would just add support for triathlon activities. They've been promising that literally for years with zero progress.

"Users" is a tricky word here.

When you have democracy, and you say "users are in charge", what you really mean is "whatever group of users can get a majority is in charge".

What it perhaps sounds like you're saying, which isn't true under democracy but is desirable, is "individual users are in charge", i.e. you are in charge of your own data and content.

> I'm not saying anything about anyone's intent, but replacing "man-year" with "person-year" is a painless, traditional-grammar-friendly way to go gender-neutral.

It is not painless: it is dissonant and takes another syllable.

One might argue that is worth the pain and stylistic cost of infelicitous phrasing in order to be sex-neutral or welcoming or whatever, and that might indeed be the case.

I think that language is far less important here than culture. Persian, for example, is a genderless language: it has no 'he' or 'her,' no 'waiter' or 'waitress,' no 'actor' or 'actress.' And yet I think most folks would say that Iran is far less gender-neutral than any English-speaking country.
it definitely started out cycling-focused, and i'd say a higher portion of cyclists use strava. but i'd be willing to bet there are more runners than cyclists using it as an absolute number - the running market is huge compared to just about any other sport, so even a relatively small portion of runners can account for more users than every single sort-of-serious cyclist.

Strava does pretty well as a social network. But their analytics are generally weaker than TrainingPeaks or Garmin Connect.
At least Strava is reasonable about getting your own data out of it. Not sure if this applies just to EU users, but it's easy to download a full archive with the original uploaded gpx/fit files (whether they came from a manual upload or a 3rd party). Last time I checked (which wasn't too long after GDPR was introduced), Garmin didn't really support a bulk download of the raw data, and neither did Fitbit.
Absolutely they are. They'll set up phone numbers and answer as though they're your restaurant. They'll set up websites (which I think you allude to?
