I started in this industry in the '90s, I like to think of my cohort as the generation who "built the Internet" (or the commercial version of it).

We've created a monster. Or at least the means to unleash it.
The DOM API is useful and usable. Oh and software built on it is maintainable because it's a standard. Software "devs" toiling about with their transient libraries are writing code that goes unmaintainable once the "next new thing" comes out and all the sheep flock to that. The spec creators are the only ones with logic and rational in the whole web dev "ecosystem"/culture/whatever.
Fortunately, the space is being taken up by another brewery, Zero Gravity (which produces really great beer), and I believe that they're picking up some of their employees.

I honestly don't think it's detrimental to the industry here: there are a TON of smaller breweries that are all doing really well.
Don't you need windows server CALs for every user of your service as soon as you have a Windows box?
Indeed, are there no more prisons or workhouses?
Because Apple doesn’t want free trials to be “bait” to convince you to pay later. The idea is that you authorize payment and start your subscription at the very beginning, whether or not there is a free trial. With any subscription, you can always cancel at any time (but you won’t get any of your money back, of course). The free trial period works the exact same way.
Perhaps, but I don't think it would be impractical for something that's nearly $5,000 already. You would likely spec two smaller, cheaper motors; altogether it would cost more, but not as much as two of the motors it has now.
Perhaps my use case is pretty simple, I only need the following:

- projects
- recurring tasks
- deferral dates
- deadlines
- ability to set the next occurrence either with a fixed period (every X days) or with a floating period (X days after the last completion)

Everdo provides all of those features in a, subjectively, simpler user interface. I think the killer feature of OmniFocus is custom perspectives. I don't use them so it wasn't hard to migrate. YMMV.

Also, even after years of use, I find OmniFocus' desktop UI a bit confusing and convoluted. It got a lot better, but still not great. They focused on iOS at some point, but I don't use GTD managers on the go.

By the way, Everdo is basically a clone of NirvanaHQ[1], a pretty popular GTD tool.

> Those responsibilities are ostensibly handled by other business units, but that either doesn't actually happen in startups (what's a design team? we don't have one!) or would be smoothed by the engineering side having a basic foundation of the concepts involved, enough to understand the rationale behind UX stuff and challenge bad design before it gets in front of users.

Even more directly, someone has to operate (from the back-end, not as an end-user) the systems you build, and usability (or even existence of) tools for that is often terrible.
Impressive given that it has never made a profit!

You have to search for RGMII in the bcm2711 datasheet, which is a media-independent link.

In theory you could rip the PHY chip out and replace it with a fibre PHY, so you'd get a fibre Pi.
Agreed that it's tricky, but there needs to be some feedback loop. Otherwise you end up with seriously broken processes that never get fixed. Companies tend to care about false positives more than false negatives, but there's a decent possibility that some companies have an extremely high false negative rate.

I think they meant, since PMs will never stop using metrics, we should write bots that skew those metrics in favor of an experience for the consumer rather than the perceived increase in engagement.

She will be 91 the next time she is up for re-election. Hopefully she’ll finally retire instead. I’ve been hoping for that for over a decade.

Feinstein could not have been re-elected if it weren’t for overwhelmingly strong support for her in Silicon Valley.

If she is up for re-election again, please vote for the other candidate (who will probably also be a Democrat!). Also, tell your friends.

She wants to ban encryption. Her voting record is further to the right than many republicans. She votes according to Trump’s wishes more than any other Democrat in the senate.

Really? I haven't seen anyone say they want to pay more for less content. The unspoken assumption always seems to be "if I was getting fewer channels I'd be paying less", logic which works fine for tangible goods, but less so for ones with nearly zero marginal cost to produce.

Who says you're trying to be clever? Perhaps you're just busy and have other things to consider?

I know I got wrapped up with a few project deadlines for a few weeks and didn't even have time continue exploring shows before canceling. I'd completely forgotten I even had the service. I guess I wasn't being clever enough.

It appears more to me like opt-out recurring subscription is actually the model trying to be clever. These practices are largely business friendly, not consumer friendly.
That’s all kinda the story. Many don’t fully use them but they like the idea that they can. However, and this is important, one common misconception about America is that it’s all like NYC or suburbs. The country is positively huge and generally very sparsely populated in the middle. Many people own trucks because they have a farm or an ATV or do their own yard-work or construction or the like. Plus historically, pickups used to be the only AWD vehicles in the past and much of America involves harsh winters or off-road driving. But yeah, the other half of the market just buys them because they like them.
I agree, but I was stressing it's there if I choose to recycle an old disk.
The RPi Zero has been a joke for two full years: produced in extremely small quantities and sold at loss just to keep customers away from the competition. Of course there are a few people who somehow managed to get one or two without being forced to purchase it bundled with unnecessary overpriced stuff, and they usually were very quick to point that out in forums (while downvoting any criticism), but they were a really small minority.
Things may have changed, but too late: I've removed the RPi from the list of the boards I could purchase for anything but video playing. My video player has been a RPi1, then 2, then 3 now 4, but all the other older Pi boards lie now unused in a drawer while I rather use other stuff (Odroids, Orange PIs, NanoPIs, probably getting soon a Pine64B from the excellent pine64.org guys, etc.).
The RPi has a lot of competition, almost all of it more powerful or more cheap, sometimes even both.
Production is moving, but what struck me (and what made me think HN readers would be interested in it) was that the business seems to have fallen victim to a classic problem in business: being sold to people who don't understand the culture / product, and can't effectively sell it or continue it in a meaningful way. From the sounds of things, they're not selling all that well because of that.
> I guess I agree with this in a way, in that what most people are looking for are water substitutes that will give you a low-level buzz.

This is not really what I meant. I mean to say, for instance, I prefer Sam Adams over 90/100 microbrews I've tried. Name the top 6 non-economy beers in the supermarket, I enjoy most of them more than 75/100 microbrews. Taste-wise, I think most microbrews are a bad product, even if they were priced less than the premium national beers, I wouldn't buy them.

In many ways, it's like self-proclaimed 'audiophiles' and people that love vinyl. It's about something other than just the enjoyment of music. Similarly, as you suggest as a result of market forces, microbrews are about things other than taste. That explains the brewery's side of the equation, but no so much the customer's. Are people drinking microbrews simply because it's cool? Probably, and probably most of them.

I often visit local breweries when I travel as a form of supporting local businesses and such. I do enjoy trying new beers. I found, up until about 10 years ago, a local beer that had supermarket distribution was usually pretty dang good. It was the 'locals beer' which is not really the same as the microbrews we have now.
Sir, you're in the church of Elon, and you know blasphemy is not allowed.
This is a very innovative idea. I wonder who was the person behind it?
But why would people use a site makes them mad?
Agreed; it's not bad what the OP explains, though indeed a bit platform-restricted, but with a title like that I expected more of the architectural points/standard good practices/design principles/... to pass by. While those will not always have a direct link to making your software usable from the user's point of view, they do (imo) matter a lot. Also for making it usable for the developer, and maintainable (i.e. still usable in the future).
Just a quick reminder that in California, a bill allowing statewide ranked-choice voting in all cities (not just charter ones) was passed by both the state assembly and senate by a wide margin, before being vetoed by Gov. Newsom last year.

I think to some extent they are... Dollar stores I see more as a symptom and perpetuation of the problem poor people face today. (Conspicuous consumption.)

When I was growing up, my parents had Air fans that they purchased YEARS before I was born. They're still working. Compare and contrast, I have a fan that only lasted 2 summers before burning out. Or, the knife set my parents got as a wedding gift and still use, compared to the set I got 2 years ago that already have pitting and the like.

Before, poor people had access to good, quality used goods that could last.

Now, they are stuck in the prisoner's dilemma; Either buying a more expensive used thing from goodwill/etc and see how long it lasts, or buying the cheap thing and knowing it's already on borrowed time.
Calling the market is a fool’s game, but that valuation makes no sense to me at all.

Remember this is supposed to be the expected value weighted across up and down scenarios. The down scenarios are clear, so in what crazy world are the up scenarios enough to average out to 210 billion?

If I'm doing price comparison between online vendors, I will---as a human---put some items in the cart and get right to the edge of checkout to determine what my final bill would be. I may not close the sale if I'm looking at a better option elsewhere.

How is what I'm doing materially different from what Google's doing? Is scale a factor that matters for CFAA?
Honestly I don't know.

There is so much cargo culting nowadays in software development (agile, GitHub, white board interviews, hacker rank, tdd, add, ci, cd, redux, etc etc) and so many new people (< 5 years) without experience to see what works and doesn't work with the team and project that is hard to fight it.

I worked in 3 different React projects in the last 2 years with 3 different teams. Only one required something as complex as Redux (and most likely Flux or other simpler state libraries would do). You know what? All of them had redux. It is what they learned in the latest blog post by ReactHipsterMainMain.com so that is what you see.

If you are 25/28 years old and a start up CTO (?!?) and you spent your 20s in university and doing open source code and putting shit in GitHub, you value that and try to hire for that. Thus, this is well known and bootcamps and the likes teach people to put every little shit in GitHub to show they are 'passionate' about software development and has done a lot of projects.

Even the take home projects. From experience, most companies have the same variation of the project. For iOS this is usually show a screen with data from an API, tap something and show details, also from an API. You can find millions of these small projects all over GitHub. But somehow they still ask for them. A few years ago I was so tired of this that I created a generic project and then a script that would take a JSON file and would generate the Swift Models, as well as API calls->transform to Model, and I would just need to create 2-3 functions to configure each cell depending on the data. I haven't seen any junior developers do something like this in their jobs. There are more and more classes, view controllers, components, stores etc. The abstraction thinking just isn't there yet. But they act like they know everything and have all the answers because of GitHub stars or whatever they are called.

I am all over the place with this reply, I am sorry. Just after years and years of seeing this, more and more I don't think soft development is for me if it is just to become the Instagram of the geeks.
a) Really awesomely cool!

b) Kinda sad to read all those names and think that someone once thought, 'hey, this could be my baby.' Sure, I imagine a bunch of them were just hoovered up by domain squatters, but at least a few of them are failed sites, right? … right?
Is it? This was true if Amazon for well over a decade, and look at them now.

If you can meaningfully reinvest into your business rather than show a profit (and pay taxes on it), then you're in a good position. Tesla has the growth that merits doing this, which is why their share price is so high.
That's one way of looking at it. Another way of looking at it is that prospective employers would stop wasting the time of applicants.
You can add a 1kw inverter to any car, the 12w system will handle it just fine though not indefinitely. There's a really simple formula you need to know.
P=UI
P=Power
U=Voltage
I=Current

Get the specs of you generator and you can see how much you can sustain while your engine is running. The inverters do usually create a square voltage "wave" rather than a good sine one, but it has never been a problem in my experience.
They still do it.
I was going based on her Wikipedia page which doesn't seem to mention much beyond racial stuff.
They already do that, there’s all kinds of XML and JSON and whatnot standards to communicate product info, inventory, whatnot. The reason Google is doing this is because this information cannot be trusted all the time, there will always be bad actors.

The process may eventually evolve in a cat-and-mouse game, where malicious e-commerce sites try to detect these Google crawlers and serve different price info to them, but let’s hope it doesn’t get this far.
What a masterpiece of UX/UI. Holyshit.

So many amazing details. Notice how the texture of the trim knob is different than other controls. When cost is no barrier, you can have mechanical switches, toggles, flip-off guards, various shapes and sizes of knobs, levers, color coding, hazard markings, etc. - all made from top notch materials and you bet, the haptics were totally engineered for best possible way to reduce ambiguity. Aesthetics take a back seat.

Also, props to the narrator. She was to the point and well informed.

I hope UI/UX designers (even for web design), industrial designers, architects, ergonomicists, HMI designers be inspired from this with one major take away - stop putting personal taste, aesthetics, decoration, marketing, etc. before functionality and pragmatism. Especially those working in vehicle interior design - people need to realize we drive a deadly 2-ton machine on our roads. Make no mistake, modern regression of UI in cars is because of bean counters - touchscreens are vastly cheaper than physical encoders/switches/toggles, especially automotive grade ones. [1]

Can you imagine if you had to flip a toggle switch to turn bluetooth on in your car? I know you're smiling from just the thought of it. People make the case that UI needs to be simple for people to use at the expense of density, but remember - we already look at the world which is very messy and navigate it without a problem. Millions navigate through airports. People knew how to use Yellow Pages (extreme density) and telephone books. Making UI more understandable is orthogonal to information density.

Unrelated: It is a shame that SpaceX's dragon crew cockpit design ditched all this in favor of a more sexier (arguable) looking sci-fi aesthetics. IMO it looks like a cheap movie set including the space suits.

Okay, so what I’m reading is that in defense of apple not allowing a company to be user-friendly, you list companies that are even worse and use that as justification for apple to force developer to be somewhat user-unfriendly instead of fully. I honestly don’t even know what to say to that.

Goodbox (https://goodbox.in) | Bangalore | Fullstack Engineer and Android Dev | Full-time, Contract, INTERN | Bangalore

Goodbox is an online grocery store that helps consumers to order from local supermarkets and get orders fulfilled within 2 hours. We provide online storefront as well as give logistics support to local grocery supermarkets to help them be competitive with pure online stores. We believe in making the local grocer be competitive enough that it can take the whole consumption potential around its 1-2 km radius. Doing all these in a unit-economics positive way (yeah, I know) is our goal. Higher concentration of demand, Sensible delivery radius and flexible delivery SLA - is what is making this possible. We're currently operational in parts of BLR. We've been remote for few months before COVID-19 with occassional meet for brainstorming and nailing down of requirements across team.

There are definitely some homeowners who actually need a pickup. But there are tons who have a pickup, but would be better served by a van/SUV, or don't need a large vehicle at all.

I used to live in Alabama, a common enough thing was that a guy who recently graduated high school, if they got a halfway decent paying job somehow (e.g. a local factory), they'd rush out and buy an F-150 or similar. They had no real use for it yet, but it made them look and feel more adult.
Why does Tesla need to partner with a company to get this sort of functionality? Why do you HN types always seem to want emasculated and overpriced products with a special brand attached to them?

Most Tesla's (all Ss and dual motor 3s) already have very efficient inverters. Can't they be repurposed as a standard AC outlet?
