> Consider: the author has set himself to read 20 books per year. Suppose this is double of his standard. What he will do to fulfill his OKR? He's not going to choose a difficult read such as Ulysses, or an existential crisis inducing book such as Crime and Punishment, he will go for what is more superficial and easier to read, because his goal is not to be transformed by what he reads, his goal is to read 20 books.

The problem with this I see is the KR itself, not Objective. In 2019 I choose similar Objective which pushed me towards finishing books I didn't enjoy or valuable, so I decided to set the KR as number of pages read or just 30 minutes a day.

“Holier than thou”:

Original iPhone supported offline HTML5 apps, with home screen icons and full app saved to home screen ... and iOS still supports that. Yes, you can still distribute purely open apps that work offline to iOS devices outside the app store with zero approvals from Apple or anyone.

Developers preferred the app store even for “apps” that are nothing but a web window, not just about APIs etc.

So Jobs is onto something with the “a product is a package of emphasis” and the market decides.

Sounds like you don’t like the market, which as Jobs noted in that quote, is everything outside the valley bubble.

Do you happen to have pointers so a set of such problems?
I suspect any evidence short of multiple artifacts from multiple locations would be circumstantial at best, regardless if the traces are in the planet's geological record or in the genetic code of an ancestor of whatever the supposed ancient ones ate for dinner.

On the other hand, multiple correlating indicators could give a pointer about where to look. Alas, it's likely such a place either deep underneath the ocean floor or that it's buried under kilometres of rock.

Look the point of education is that people who have travelled the road before you tell you what milestones you should meet - an education syllabus is the distilled "you ought to" of hundreds or thousands of people's lives.

But your actual life is a series of explorations - sure push yourself, but more important than anything is time to build relationships. especially with your kids if you have them.
Truth is, it’s really semantics. A patent attorney knows how to describe an invention to pass most eligibility requirements for stuff that most software-related inventions.
Coincidentally, the crate/box color is brown-yellow, almost like the kiwi fruit skin. Quite sturdy boxes, handy as toys organizer when on road trip with kids. Feeling bad throwing these boxes to trash, but they will add up.

As an idea, maybe they could make use of the surface and print some cut out details which could be eventually assembled into something (a model of some kind). Or the very least put some templates on the website to facilitate the reuse.

Kids would learn that the box should be considered a resource too, not just the juicy sweet content inside, so to speak, extending the kiwi-fruit metaphor.
Amiga worked exactly the same way. All memory access to the so called "Chip" ram had to go thru Agnus. CPU address lines didnt touch ram chips directly. CPU was just a passenger riding on the back of powerful GPU.

That's the thing, JWT is not an authentication protocol, that's just one (the most frequent) use-case of "transfering claims".
The footguns, e.g. the choice of encrypted or not, or symmetric or asymmetric crypto, are a result of the flexbility required to cover the other use-cases. Maybe what's needed is a subset of JWT that's just for AuthN.

Agreed. Author is not a patent attorney, I’m willing to bet, and shouldn’t be doling our advice about an intricate and complex area of law that they apparently don’t have a deep understanding of. Approach with caution.
Substack founder here. You might be surprised at the relative importance of the mailing list. You also have your own Stripe account on Substack.

That said, it’s a fair point, and I understand wanting to wait until we support it.
Thanks for sharing! Neat idea, and kudo's on creating a concept I haven't seen before! I like the technical nature of this with the weather integration and other technical sailing details implemented.

If I may suggest an improvement, if you desire more than the smallest of audiences, you may want to enlist help from someone with more user interface or design experience. As is, even this extremely geeky and intellectually curious HN audience is struggling just to get the simplest race started. I finally got my boat started after quite a lot of clicking and fiddling -- these were the most confusing steps if it helps:

1. Figuring out what exactly the site does. The help page really helped, but it took me a while to realize it existed. I'd suggest adding more help content to the home page.

2. Passing the captcha took me a bit of Googling - this is unnecessary friction if you want a broader audience.

3. Once I started a race, it was very confusing that I had to just wait a minute and continually refresh the page before I could even enter the heading for my boat to use.

4. It's weird that the maps aren't on the same page as where I enter my boat's heading. It's also unwieldy to refresh all of these pages constantly - a continually updated page would be a natural improvement.

5. After entering a heading and pressing "Change course!", I expected my boat to start moving. It took me several minutes to figure out that I also needed to press "Start!". It's unintuitive to me that a boat wouldn't move when you set its heading and the wind is blowing!

Thanks for a fun concept and good luck in your project. I hope this feedback is useful and not a discouragement. With some interface tweaking, this could be neat!
I don't remember exactly what I read that convinced me using the user agent string to send different JS or CSS, was not the way to go.

Searching for supporting things just now, I found some thing that seem similar:

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1294586/browser-detectio...

I do think in special cases you should use the user agent to send proper code, but most businesses probably don't need this today.

With https://caniuse.com/ and a good knowledge of the shape of your traffic, it no longer seems critical for .05% of users some how on IE 6 still that visit your site to have all the eye candy.

Now if you're a government site I think you should be taking the time to ensure as many people as possible can access your site bug free, but that could mean just make sure it is dead simple. If you're a large business where .05% of traffic is a few million $ of lost revenue, yeah go a head hire those engineers.

For the rest of us just let the eye candy fail, get the site to work and forget about it.

I actually just wrote a blog post the other week about this exact feeling: https://alexanderell.is/posts/me-and-my-work/

I think it’s very important to separate your work from your worth and to view review comments as reviews of your code, not of your ability to write code.
That is _only_ an issue on the web. Any half decent typesetting program should have no issues at all doing it right.

And even then it is getting better, the modern CSS can do things Word can't (notably all small caps and old style figures).
I have seen some odd behavior but I haven't had a chance to identify exactly what is causing the limitations. For example one h264 video played correctly on the projectionists browser but resulting stream had a slightly off aspect ratio. I've also seen audio get lost depending on encoding.
A number of countries that are straight up poor -- Cambodia, East Timor, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu -- also appear to have successfully eradicated the disease. Of course, being outside the main global routes of trade and (for the latter two) island nations also helps.
Yes I agree that it is a risk for for the staff, however it does not seem to be a risk for customers, which is what this concept would reduce.

It's Medium.com all over again. Sharecropping on someone else's platform. It gets you exposure at first, and some level of trust; back in 2012/13 when Medium was new, the content was pretty high quality. Now, it's a wasteland of "here's my two cents on something that has been covered in far more detail elsewhere" type blogspam.

The same with happen with Substack. They need to grow, just like every other VC-funded startup. An inevitable decline in quality will result.

Robotic food preparation (at least for fast, simple meals) would be welcome in the post-Pandemic world.
A very useful trick for copyediting and proofreading is to use a text-to-speech tool. The default voice on Mac is quite good. I use it all the time to proofread intros, and explanation sections in my books. For math-heavy or code-blocks, it's not quite as good... but actually works OK for Python.

> if China now becomes a leader at robotics

How was this ever not going to be the case? Robotics will go wherever the manufacturing is. Where else would roboticists get practical real world experience, other than in factories? Obviously there's plenty of robotic manufacturing in America still, but there's clearly no shortage of opportunity in it for China either.

The assumption that America would have the best robotics which would force manufacturing to come back to America seems rooted in little more than wishful thinking.
Yeah, no. Its basaltic and granite blocks, literally cut with micro-mm precision, and glued together in a fashion that prevents seam gaps. These seams, in some cases, are thousands of years old ..

And then, there are the fused-rock glasses found on some monuments which defy explanation. Lightning? Perhaps, but then there's that corona eruption theory ..

Someone was melting rocks. Maybe with microwave resolutions.
Microsoft has a vested interest in getting Windows to run on hardware going as far back as possible, within reason. They mainly sell the OS and legacy support is a huge selling point.

Phone manufacturers are at the other end of the spectrum. They sell the hardware and it's their vested interest to sell as much as they can. Making it obsolete by not offering software updates and taking advantage of the free work from XDA works perfectly for them. Being able to blame Qualcomm is even better since it's a "boogieman" that doesn't need to look good for consumers.

I have the Jelly 1 and am very happy with it. Will definitely go for the Jelly 2. Thickness isn't so much an issue because the phone is so small. It usually lives in the 'coincatcher' in my pocket and I hardly notice it's there. Only issues are battery life and low specs (and no fingerprint!) but the Jelly 2 will solve that.

But the Palm doesn't solve any of those issues. No fingerprint scanner. Only 800mAh battery (Jelly 2 has 2000). Much lower specs, 28nm SoC. Single SIM. Just nope.
I'd posit this quantitative approach is harmful not only to one's personal life - turning yourself into a robot, forgetting that life is more akin to a dance than a project with a budget and a deadline. Something that you do to enjoy even though it has no apparent goal.

Analogy taken from Alan Watts - https://youtu.be/rBpaUICxEhk

I'd also posit that quantitative approach to business is also harmful. This path is taken by companies under stress of scaling - trying to find out a self organizing simple structure. The end result always turns out to be a siloed mess run by micromanagers and people "cheating" the system to satisfy some set of arbitrary metrics and the organization turning into a social laboratory full of instances of Goodhart's law and Cobra Effects.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart%27s_law
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect

I have yet to seen a successful implementation of it. Usually a Lean and System Thinking common sense look at the organization is sufficient to run a successful team or a company, but only so few are interested when quantitative (micromanaging) approach is so popular and sexy.

Yes, but streaming over cellular is mostly limited to support from Apple apps, not third party apps. Spotify might be the kind exception for that right now.

>>This may help in getting the patent, but it also enables someone else to exploit the same loop holes to file a patent for the copy of our invention by just changing the grammar/vocabulary because our patent was too generic.
>That's not how that works.

I think, it's incomplete when the prior argument for that is not included.

This is the complete argument -

>Unfortunately, patent attorneys tend to force the inventor to not to be specific in describing their invention in the patent application in order to exploit the loop holes in patent examination; This may help in getting the patent, but it also enables someone else to exploit the same loop holes to file a patent for the copy of our invention by just changing the grammar/vocabulary because our patent was too generic.

That is, if you compromise while drafting patent someone else will exploit it the same way.

>Investor expectations is a big reason to get a patent.

I agree, especially if it's a 'proven' HW startup. Emphasis on 'proven', if the patent is not for a solution which solves a real problem with commercial viability, no investor is going to turn your side even if you get a patent i.e. in other words if you are not sure about the success of your product, patents are just a waste of time and wouldn't bring investors magically.

>I'm imagining the author is not in a Western country based on the dropped indefinite articles??

True.

>Some idea of their experience would help give authority to the article.

Close family member is a patent attorney with 20 years experience, having worked for largest multinational companies and current work being facilitating patent deals(usually worth several millions) in a foreign country (My arguments in this content was validated with that attorney). I have personally applied and later abandoned International patents for my products in my earlier startup (The said attorney was not involved in my patent application due to work clauses).
You do realise elitism is one of the major reasons why Trump was elected, right? You guys are driving people apart by declaring them morons instead of thinking, critically about what drove them to a decision. Not cool.
Canada has many programs for small startups just beginning.
I did insist. I don't remember the details anymore because it was a couple of years ago. I would have taken them to small claims court over it if I had been in the US but I was overseas long term. Either way, they have lost a customer who has bought many of their laptops over the decades. Over a $100 battery that clearly had a manufacturing defect.
I think this is an entirely relative situation, I've only eaten once a day for nearly 10 years now and to be honest its pretty close to when I fall asleep, often after having worked 8-12 hours in physical job and 2-3 hours at the gym. I can eat between 2-5000 calories in one sitting depending on how stressed/tired or ultimately hungry I felt.

I went several years sleeping only 3-4 hours a day in my 20s. I'm more reluctant to do that now in my 30s and it was almost never by choice, but what was always a constant is that I normally only ate until moments I was about to fall asleep. And I'm entirely healthy and have way more energy than people in my age group and as much as 7-8 years younger than myself.

It does take me longer to fully recover from an injury or cold these days than when I was in my teens or even 20s, and while I really enjoy sleep (I spent significantly more on a bed when I was 21 than what I spent going to the bar in the following 4 years) and food I don't think its an absolute that its an absolute to keep the 2 so separate to achieve those goals.

I have an incredibly fast metabolism, too. I still have to workout on a regular basis and eat 3k+ calories to just keep my weight constant. I think I'm one of the few in my group of friends whose actually lost weight during this lockdown.

Now that gyms are starting to open up I need to get a few session in to see just how much of that was muscle loss as I barely kept up with any routine due to having bad joints in my upper body.
Your boilerplate whataboutism confirms my point.

>This statement doesn't appear to hold up under scrutiny.

What scrutiny? I don't see any scrutiny. You just said that, without scrutinizing.
I don’t think people would have expected Boston Dynamics to emerge out of the U.S. as opposed to Japan, but they did, and it’s telling that they emerged out of a subregion with top rate American educational institutions. Ignore that they were bought out by SoftBank because I think America will consistently churn out top robotics and automation companies in the coming years. All it takes is for there to be a profit signal. Until a field has that profit signal, Americans outside of academia pretty much ignore it.
Imagine arguing for a better world, instead of arguing about what your slogan means. You might be able to secure majority support for your policy proposal, instead of... checks YouGov poll again... 16% support, for the phrase "defund the police".
Why are Americans this obsessed about race?

There's little if any evidence to support fear of Corona transmission through food. You get corona by breathing it, not eating it. Restaurants have taken a hit because their dining areas are dangerous, not their kitchens (not to the consumer anyway, the employees are a hazard to each other.) I've been eating 7-11 hotdogs this entire time in a city that's been locked down for months; they never stopped food prep because there's really little reason to stop it.

For that matter, our world has been "post-pandemic" for longer than recorded history. It's not even the first pandemic in the modern era.
> Wait, so you're telling me dynamic libraries are a way for distros to ship their org chart?

I'm not sure what you mean by this. The libraries are not maintained by the distro, they are maintained by the library maintainers; the distro just distributes them when new versions are available, after testing.

> Maybe it's time in 2020 for automated and deterministic builds to allow anyone to ship a library update and have dependent packages being rebuilt automatically if needed.

This would be nice, but it is not there yet for most languages/pacakges; and you still need to solve the problem of who will actually run those automatic builds.

The US SBIR program provides up to $1.7MM per project over 2.5 years to small businesses or startups. It's a pain in the ass process that takes forever, but hundreds of start ups get funded this way every year, and it costs literally nothing to apply other than you time.

I have a different idea. There are numerous historical accounts of basic resources available directly on the surface. These were cleaned up in preindustrial times when we had to start to dig for them. We have already removed almost everything that was in easy reach and now the resources we are digging up are either difficult to reach or require a lot of technology to concentrate and clean up. I am convinced there were no previous industrial civilizations because we would not see so many resources available in so clean form and so close to surface.
