If the consumer likes your service, rest assured at the end of free trial, they may be slightly annoyed but will quickly renew their service to make sure they can continue to have access if they have to. A card associated with my Netflix account expired and I didn't realize, it was renewed within 10 minutes of me wanting to watch a show.

If you're forced to go through a process to renew something, you're more likely to question why you're going through the process and if the service the process exists for still maintains value to you worth continuing payment for. Businesses are aware of this and attempt to avoid those situations. Minimize friction of revenue, limit any barriers for money flowing in.

It's very intentional and I've yet to see a good argument for trial-to-subscription auto opt-in that is not a strategic money grab based on a probability of unintended customers. Many decades ago, magazine subscriptions were notorious for this exact same predatory subscription lock-in model, even making it difficult to cancel (while incredibly easy to enter).
[Gödel 1931] tried to formally prove the proposition that there are true but unprovable propositions, which had been previously intuited by others.

Unfortunately, the [Gödel 1931] proof fails for the claimed Russell's system for the foundations of mathematics.

The following has an explanation of what went wrong in this and many other cases in foundations of mathematics for computer science:

Interesting! Was this done on purpose to discredit the voices for change, or was it just incompetence or a compromise or something like that?

The built-in generator options don't output any more power than a generator that you can buy at any home improvement store for several hundred dollars. Sure, having it integrated into the vehicle might be a nice feature, but I don't see anything special about the power output.

This just replaces a free-standing generator strapped down in the back of the truck. Those tend to be noisy but they're relatively cheap. I doubt most jobsites care that much about the noise, but I suppose tailgaters might like it. On the other hand, tailgaters tend to prefer inverter generators which are very quiet and use very little gas.

In fact, thinking more about it, I wouldn't want to be at a tailgate with an F150 running all day spewing exhaust all over. A small portable generator and an extension cord can be located relatively far away from the gathering - that's a lot harder to do with the truck itself.

What they're doing is making it so people have to actively remember to cancel a trial. If you're not even using the app, it would be very easy to forget to cancel. If you regularly use it, you'd notice that the trial ended, and can pay for the subscription if you'd like.
Sounds pretty interesting. Are there company or federal requirements for where the work actually takes place? I’m a legal US resident but spend ~80% of my time in Mexico.

I've personally witnessed/been involved with the quality decline and the trendiness you speak of with two other "craft" markets - coffee in the mid 90's and liquor distilleries in the past 10 years.

When I talk to tourists here in Seattle, of course they eventually ask about the best coffee places. If they're at least able to add "not Starbucks," I'm honest with them and tell them that there's really only two downtown that I like. These days, there are plenty of roasters, but the majority are pretty meh to outright bad.

Same thing with craft distilling in the past 10 years. The first wave of small batch distillers were revolutionary, but then many imitators jumped on the bandwagon.

Bars and restaurants pitch them as being "local" and therefore, good. Being local has nothing to do with being good. Some of the worst alcohol I've had were "local." It's gotten to the point where I purposely avoid ordering anything "local" unless I know who's involved in the distillery. And don't get me started on "craft vodka."

As with the discussion of online communities (reddit, Facebook) recently, I wonder if there's anything that remains good once it gains popularity. Or maybe I'm just an elitist hipster.
What I really want is for Tesla to partner with someone to come out with a line of DC-plugin tools so I can plug my tools into the new Tesla truck without the conversion penalty.

Battery operated tools are DC already. They just need a plug to charge and run at the same time. An optional AC adapter too.
Disclaimer: I am a STEM Ambassador (volunteering position) in West Sussex, working with local schools and libraries on IT projects, including using the Raspberry Pi.

The Raspberry Pi isn't a giveaway item and so schools need to make an investment in hardware or obtain sponsorship to kit out their STEM resources with them.

1M BBC micro:bits were distributed free to Yr 7 pupils as part of a project in 2016 - schools had to register/apply at the time, so if your school did not participate their pupils would not have received anything, however, as you have mentioned, other sponsorship also made units available.

Best have a word with your school's STEM/Technology people to see how they are supplementing your children's curriculum with technology resources.

Well, it's being realistic. The politicians aren't choosing the best choice for us, they are choosing the choice that looks like the best choice for the hordes weighed against the interests of their powerful lobbyists.

If privacy (as partially defined as crypto) looked important to the hordes of people and/or the lobbyists, we wouldn't have anything to worry about. Think about the children is a much easier platform to get elected for though.

>it solves many problems - it puts an end to cyberattacks, for instance. but is it right? i doubt it.

I think it's right. Countries have sovereignty over their physical territory and they ought to have sovereignty over their digital territory, that's the basis of any democracy and self-determination.

Of course it produces awful results in Turkey because Erdogan is an autocrat, and autocrats use power to enact dumb policies, in this case censoring something because his family was insulted.

However in democracies it is necessary to not be defenseless and to maintain values. Here in Europe I've always felt that we're pretty much exposed in the digital sphere to either American norms due to sheer size, and nowadays more and more to negative campaigns by countries like Russia and China as they've learned to weaponize cyberspace.

My opionated view on startups. Would love to hear what you guys think.
The thing about communication, whether in speech, written word, or symbols, is that there is no practical difference between pretending to be hateful and actually being hateful. Using a common gesture to communicate white supremacy as a form of trolling and doing it sincerely both have the same effect. In fact, I think the people "trolling" understand this to some degree (it would require some intense self-deception to not understand this), which blurs the line between "trolling" and sincerity on these kinds of topics into perhaps non-existence.
Different professions can adopt different standard ethical frameworks. Healthcare is relatively unique in the code of ethics it chooses.

Looking for: Engineering leadership position

I'm an Engineering Manager with a 8+ year history of building production SaaS platforms. I have an excellent track record of hiring/leading developers, managing the agile engineering process, and releasing production facing multi-platform services.

I'm on the hunt for the next opportunity to build a development team and take on a new challenge. As a bonus I have a network of talented developers who'd like to join me on my next venture, potentially a huge benefit for an organization looking to fill multiple roles and hit the ground running.
> Best Buy used to have "deals" on items that they "couldn't show you" until item was in cart. They may still be doing this. Best Buy's justification for it was that its agreements with manufacturers prevented it from displaying items below certain prices on their site. I'd never seen this elsewhere to know how pervasive these agreements were

This was also pretty common on Amazon.

https://distill.pub is such a platform for articles about machine learning

https://explorabl.es is a more general hub.

> especially when you can tell that the 'teacher' is also the UI designer and developer in one and there's a very high level of quality and polish. There's nothing quite like it for learning a complex subject.

Agreed. Unfortunately I think this is the inherent limitation to the explosion of such material (Bret's seminal essay [0] was almost a decade ago) - it takes an insane amount of skill, in mostly orthogonal disciplines, as well as a lot of time and effort to make it. Some tools attempt to make them a little straightforward to program, but due to the nature of it you can't really have a one size fits all solution that isn't just a general programming language + rendering engine.

And there is no "explorables industry" to fund the production of those (unlike say, textbooks), so it ends up being mostly side projects for otherwise gainfully employed developers.

It would be amazing to have eg. attempts at building an entire K-12 curriculum around explorable explanations. It's also the kind of work that probably loses in clarity and value when done by a team/committee rather than a single person dedicated to their vision.

Why don't English speakers use the term "state" to talk about the "human community which lays claim to the monopoly on the legitimated use of physical force"? Is it because they want to avoid confusion with states as in "The United States"?

Max's previous post [1] touches on the some of the ideas from the early 90s internet that we're starting to see return today.

Please spare the dalits my friend :) they are the worst affected from this caste based discrimination! :) Sure, there may be a few who engage in the kinds of practices you are referring to but the majority don't. Even if they did, that would be to protect themselves (these kinds of dalits tend to be enlightened about their plight in society and local politics in their organization) and to create checks and balances they engage in this stuff.

For someone who claims to be so concerned about display quality, he makes some really, really shitty choices in font colors when annotating images.

I've been reading Karl's takedowns for a few years now and, while there is never anything technically wrong about what he says, it's also just not as important as he thinks it is.

Yes, waveguide optics aren't the best possible visual experience once could have. But does that matter all that much? I think Karl's terrible diagrams point out why he makes this mistake. He doesn't understand that design is the much more important consideration here.

The technical limitations of the display technologies that we have today are not impediments to product development. Good software can be designed to work around these issues. Can't render black? Don't design around dark themes. Have a narrow field of view? Don't require people to try to keep mental track of things around them by vision alone.

Karl looks at the HoloLens, sees the waveguides, and misses all the amazing operating system features. Speech recognition, spatialized audio, a fully spatialized desktop metaphor. These things are important and they go a long way towards the usability of the system.

And that was why the Magic Leap failed. Not because the displays were crap, but because the entire system was crap. It was basically "just a" stock Android system with super flaky WiFi and no systems view on delivering a unified product. The entire product was fundamentally mismanaged. The hardware was slightly better than the first HoloLens, but you were far more limited in making good software for the Magic Leap than you were for the HoloLens.
That is a really good point. But I would argue that His caste is used here to signal the fulfillment of prophecy and inheritance. Crown of thorns, beatings, ridicule, etc pretty much amounted to huge social disrespect in the end, anyways.
> It stands to reason that if we saw default E2E encryption across the board it would be a lot harder for the police to get evidence and would lead to a lot fewer convictions.

I am firmly-albeit-reluctantly OK with this, if the alternative is widespread surveillance of what should logically be private correspondence/communication among private citizens.

I value the privacy of the hundreds of millions of the citizen population over a slight increase in the conviction rate of the tens to hundreds of thousands predators.

I was there a few years ago in the UK, and I found it to be a mixed bag. While most brewpubs I went to all had very similar beers in the styles one would expect, I found a couple places that really stuck out to me. For example, I discovered Brew Dog (originally from Scotland) while I was there and while, and they have since expanded to the US and kept producing great beer. That discovery, in contrast with being able to taste "classic" English beers made for an interesting trip.

However, that's the UK. Elsewhere I think there is much higher representation of the styles of a particular country. Germany epitomizes this with their beer purity law...
Those are all higher languages however they are slow.
When I was at reddit, we did a round of hiring where we published some coding puzzles online, and the solution was the email address of where to send your resume.

Most of the responses were, "I don't want your job, I just wanted to know that I solved the puzzle". I actually hit gmail's sending limit trying to reply to everyone to let them know they solved the puzzle.

So I'd say, people like solving puzzles for the sake of it, and getting praise for doing so.
