I basically just use two roots - documents and projects. Documents is stuff that gets backed up, including stuff related to projects but not in a repo, and projects is anything from a repo.

Within each, there's subfolders for each client, by name. Within each of those, there's subfolders for each project. I used to do one subfolder like "{client} - {project}", but I find that it's easier to type a couple letters of the client name, then the enter key, then a couple letters of the project name. As opposed to having to type the entire client name, plus space-dash-space, just to get to the project names.

Everything else non-project related is, admittedly, a dumpster-fire on my FS. Thank goodness for Everything [0].

You can't solve the problem in conventional ways because rich people as well as large funds and corporations control legislation. You can vote 100 tines and be guaranteed that the outcome won't be different in that perspective.

I'm not sure if ycombinators like the alternative way.

BTW I agree to your idea in general, just want to say that I'd substitute WORK with anything that benefits human being.
So the claim is he actually released some OK stuff at the end. How true is that?
I feel the same thing. It's basically optimizing the "gear ratio" to get maximum speed. The wheel isn't centered because it doesn't complete an integer number of revolutions during the simulation.

I'm still scratching my head while trying to figure out what's the mechanism that prevents the solution blowing up to infinity by setting the radius to zero and therefore achieving huge accelerations from a constant torque.
The only thing about Trump that is antithetical to the role of POTUS, at least in the coastal elite / media sense, is that he ran as a Republican.

Soft power is based on trust - can you trust this ally.

Trust is hard to gain and easy to lose.
> As an illustration, if we get reasonable evidence suggesting that someone is growing marijuana in their ranch, we can get a warrant and go inside. There's not too much the owner can do to stop it. However a perfectly encrypted iphone cannot be broken into, no matter if the entire world agrees that there's evidence of crime in it.

Is that a terrible thing? It's not like they are hiding guns in their iphone. While there could be evidence in there, at some point there is physical evidence in the real world. Just making it easier to convict them is not a solid argument for weakening protections for everyone.

Did @johnboiles get the 10k bounty that was put up (I think by Shopify CEO) for this plugin?
You are completely correct, Sir. This is why we must avoid organizing our states in ways that create such dependencies at all cost, and instead strive to create states that create voluntary sharing of resources and values that are mutually beneficial. That is the only way progress can be made, and freedom can be insured.

On the other hand, if you were a baker, and someone told you that you must give your bread away for free to a third party, how would you feel about that? The only thing you would get in return, is not being punished by the one forcing you to work, and not killed by the masses for whom you provide your free bread. I don't know about you, but personally I'd hate to live under such a fascist regime.
No, you can have zero momentum. However it comes along with having a position wavefunction that fills the whole universe.
Zuck could 100% be elected president someday. It certainly seems more plausible than I would have said about Trump in say ~2012.

- The US worships rich and successful businessmen in general.

- Facebook is the most powerful media empire the world has ever know. It could easily mobilize to support a Zuck campaign.

- His charisma and current reputation are obviously votes against him but reputation is malleable (see previous point re: media empire) and political training could probably go a long way.
As Mike Bloomberg can attest to, this is not enough to be a presidential contender.

Wow, those are not two companies that come to mind when "moving fast" is a priority. (I've only worked in a supplier role to Deutsche Telekom, but I can't imagine SAP is any less ... specific about rules and processes.)

The downside to "intelligent" appliances is that the added complexity of that intelligence is not free, it adds a lot of new potential failure modes, particularly when they are connected to a network. The benefits to adding it have to be significant to be worth it, at least for me to consider purchasing a smart appliance over a dumb one.
First thing to do, is to create a new "homedir" inside the OS-provided homedir. I want my homedir to be immediately backup-able, and unfortunately most OSs spam the system homedir with various nonsense, e.g. applications (on Mac, Chrome installs (or used to) in `~/.ApplicationData`, on Linux, there's various package managers' binary caches, ...). I used to name this `home` but next time I'll name it `my`, less confusing.

Then, inside of that dir, I have several other folders - `personal` is where I keep my "personal" info (tax returns, copies of official documents, CV, bank statements, ...), `code` is where I keep my projects (usually I then have a `code/archive` as well for things I'm not working on any more), `music`, `photos`, `movies` are obvious, and `archive` for things like ebooks, saved websites, webinar videos, ...

also two folders called `inbox` (for new, yet unsorted items) and `tmp` (for things that can be deleted) - seemed like good ideas but I don't really use those any more... usually my OS-provided `Downloads` folder serves both these functions...

Well, for me specifically, it was just kind of embarrassing to be the ignorant one.

Its like, I'm going over to my Muslim neighbor to see their birthday party. Later on... well... actually they were Sikh and I was ignorant and didn't know the difference until I asked them.

Fortunately, my neighbors must have been very familiar with the confusion, because they handled the discussion "what is a Sikh" pretty well.

-------

During 9/11 itself, I was in Catholic school. The teachers made it very clear that we needed to learn more about other religions at the time. So we visited local Churches, Synagogues and Mosques as part of various field trips. So I was familiar with Muslims, Jews, Protestants.

But we never visited a Sikh temple. I simply didn't know that religion even existed until I met my neighbors a few years later.

Not the OP, and I don't have any specific examples, but this was at the height of Waterfall (not in name, but in principle), where it was generally still taught as the way. Agile wasn't even a glimmer yet, but Extreme Programming was what Agile is now - interesting ideas, but mostly horribly executed.

Plus OO was at it's height as well, and C++ was seen as being incapable of handling OO sophistication, but Smalltalk could! (spoiler: it couldn't either) Then Java came and took over, and while it is a great language, it turns out massive, sophisticated OO approaches just breed their own complexity and so it picked up the "bad" moniker (it isn't), and now we find ourselves in other waters with a lot better understanding of everything, but still with a long way to go!
I finally got around to reading it recently, and I think that aspect of the entire saga was the most startling.

> Prosecutors have a constitutional obligation to disclose information to defendants that could help establish their innocence. But there’s a big debate in criminal justice circles about when police misconduct allegations in unrelated cases fall under that requirement.

Contrast that with Prosecutorial immunity

>Prosecutors cannot be sued for injuries caused by their own misconduct. For example, even if a prosecutor deliberately withholds exculpatory evidence in violation of professional ethics and a defendant’s constitutional rights, and this willful misconduct results in an innocent person spending decades behind bars for a crime of which they are subsequently exonerated—the prosecutor remains immune from civil liability.[0]

What incentive do they have to provide the evidence? If prosecutor happens to be caught hiding evidence the remedy is dropped charges nothing more. They'll move onto the next case and do the exact same thing.

Another hypothesis: HR at software companies is, most of the time, done not with the goal of increasing the organization's aggregate productivity, but rather with the goal of increasing the organization's saleable assets (or something that shakes out to the same thing, e.g. middle-management acquiring local power relative to their rivals by "hoarding" talented employees through loyalty-building.)

Assume for a moment that acquiring companies don't understand what organizational practices/structures make the companies they're acquiring productive. (If they did, they'd just build an internal team that does things that way.) Assume that, instead, "acquisitions" are basically a feudal transfer of power: a different knight is now collecting the taxes from the serfs, but neither the new nor the old knight understands how wheat is grown. The serfs are a black box, and a fragile one. If they want to continue to bring in taxed wheat, they have to mostly leave the black box to its business, rather than poking around inside it trying to change things they don't understand.

Under this paradigm, you can sell a co-located team to an acquirer, and it'll retain most of its productive value, because it's very easy to just "leave the serfs to their work": you just keep the same people working together in the same office. But you can't really sell a team with mostly-independent foreign subsidiaries to an acquirer, since the process of absorbing those subsidiaries into the corporate structure will naturally (for legal + political reasons) tend to force restructurings of such subsidiaries. The black box would have to be taken apart—and since the acquirer doesn't trust their ability to put it back together in working condition, they just don't want to buy it at all.

As well, a colocated team can be acquihired for the purpose of pilfering specific members of that team for ones' own org, while discarding the rest. This possible use increases the saleable-asset value of such teams. A foreign-subsidiary team cannot really be pilfered in such a way, unless the acquirer happens to also have a foreign subsidiary of their own in the same country, which they'd benefit from transferring the acquired employees into.

I understand the system can create proofs for all participants, but that's the point: a losing bid does not receive the reward (or it is 0).

I had. I wrote some Applesoft BASIC as a kid, and was handy enough with LOGO that they brought in teachers from around the city to have me teach them at age 12. My first and only lisp.

The other side of this story is that I always encourage people to keep their modern-day children away from BASIC, at it only makes learning any other language harder.

My bad Smalltalk experience is hard to imagine today: Hey kid, here's a language that can only be written in one IDE on one operating system. Don't worry that the IDE doesn't run on your Linux computer, because the programs that you write won't run on your computer, either. The artifacts you generate won't be files, they'll be images. We're not going to actually cover that part, so when you're ready to turn this in you'll need to copy-and-paste the working code into your email client. You'll know it's ready when you press "F5" and nothing bad happens.
Ah yeah that's on our todo list. At the moment, we tend to create groups like "Person A / Person B" but it's not ideal. The plan is that you can also Squawk anyone inside a group 1-on-1. Screen-sharing is next on the list.

> Easier to conceive of Mark Zuckerberg as a machine.

The memes of Zuckerberg as Data from Star Trek always amuse me.[0] Sure, it's teasing, but Data is a likable character! Data doesn't strive to be superior but to be more human, even if this means being analytical instead of emotional.

Mark Zuckerberg would be far more interesting if he were "evil"--if he tried to create new values, if he tried to replace God. But he isn't even an atheist anymore and is embracing religion and Judaism[1].

And then of course we must separate the man from the corporation: Facebook is a public company has an obligation to its shareholders to make money. Facebook stopped being about Zuckerberg a long time ago... it is now about surveillance capitalism.

It's very difficult to know the output of an individual, but often straightforward to measure the output of a team. If a team creates some complete mobile app, you can know exactly how much it cost, and roughly how high quality it is.

The most successful outsourcing group I worked with was in India. I did some math at the time and estimated that overall, they were about as productive as the US per dollar spent.

That hints that the market roughly optimized correctly. Of course, there was a huge diversity of productivity between individuals in both groups, but the management had no real idea how to evaluate that (if they had, they would have paid people quite different amounts).

The point is that there's plenty of illegal behavior and only so many enforcement resources (which is by design right?) so we don't need to be worried for the officer's jobs, they can just switch to new legal focus area de jour.
I think the hard parts are:

1. figuring out what to build

2. for non-trivial/long-lived projects, figuring out how to build it in a way that makes scaling, iteration, and maintenance something other than a total nightmare. (of course, many projects are one-off projects that don't need to be engineered for the long haul)
And its growing ever more unavoidable in daily life for anyone trying to live.

Pretty much everyone is becoming subject to these authoritarian regimes (corporate structures) as they invade and carve away at our democracy through financial influence, regulatory capture, etc.
> I'm suprised it wasn't something native like QT.

The question is what you really would gain from using QT compared to Chrome/HTML/JS.

Performance won't really matter for this. It it's good enough on the hardware they have, then further improving it does not make a difference. Provided they are running everything really mission-critical and real-time outside of the UI and on an RTOS or specialized hardware anyway (I really really hope so).

One advantage might be audibility and the hope for less defects due to a smaller codebase and less dependencies. But I think even QT is already far beyond that point. And since Chrome is nowadays wider deployed, it might have a higher level of maturity than eg. the QT/QML tech.
