> I'm a firm believer that most of the major brands of beer are big due to taste, other than the economy beers.

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. I don't think most people want "good" brews, they were just told that's what they should want, and since the mass-market beer prices rose to nearly meet small brewery prices, there was little benefit in continuing to drink cheap. Buying an apricot flavored light (colored) beer in my view is similar to buying something from the new "flavored water" category. Or a White Claw.

I think this is a market failure rather than a failure in taste, though. Distinguishing yourself by quality in a glutted market is not going to work. It's better to think of a variation that is easily marketable than to compete on quality (except in a luxury market, where you can signal quality through pricing and exclusivity and rely on the effects of conspicuous consumption.) It's going to be easier to sell an IPA flavored with violet essence with a lot of flowers on the label, strong branding through color, and an evocative name than a beer whose only notable characteristic is that it tastes better than others of its type.

All that being said, as long as I can still get Edmond Fitzgerald porter, all is right with the world.
What are some examples good KPIs and A/B tests for better consumer user experiences? Engagement is obviously deeply flawed if a good consumer user experience is your goal, but it does have the nice property of being easily measured. Do you rely on users constantly rating their experience on a numeric scale?
Actually, at the end of the guide, I tried to include an explanation which states that the magnetic field is just a by-product of relativity, and that the equations really only describe one field. A comment on the other approach: the geometric formulation to me looks interesting, but it's still very information dense and a bit un-intuitive! I'll take a look when I get more time though and see if I can re-formulate the ending chapter using this notation. Thank you for the feedback!

„Messing up your competitors A/B test“ is not unheard of as a tactic in highly competitive ecommerce settings.
It's not just here. It seems like a common sentiment in a lot of places. It's confusing to me as well. There's a direct line in my mind from calls for social media to be self-regulate or be regulated (interestingly in different ways from conservatives and liberals), to these kinds of comments from Erdogan. It might be causal, it might just create a cultural context, but it's hard not to conclude that echoing calls for regulation of social media in the US aren't being coopted or leveraged in this case in a way that's very predictable.

Depends where you work, if it's a dinky ecommerce site with no scalability issues, then coding is not a problem. But if it's a real product company with AI/ML engineering problems, then coding definitely is.
One drawback that I haven't seen mentioned yet, is single-wheel torque. If you look at the video, there is a pretty sizeable motor that's even geared down with a sprocket an chain. So there is a lot of torque and power available, and due to the solid axle, you can send it to a single wheel. This might be important in off-roading situations.

With direct drive motors, you have to make a pretty big compromise somewhere:

* Two smaller motors (same total power): drastically less torque per wheel

* Two larger motors (>2x total power): somewhat less torque per wheel (still don't have gearing!), cost, weight

If you're adamant on avoiding the solid axle, I think a good-ish solution might be hub motors on all four corners. That way you're far less likely to depend on a single wheel to get you moving.

Or alternatively, a locking diff in the rear (forget about LSDs). They usually provide some gear reduction, so you can skip the chain and drive it directly with the electric motor.

In short, the solid axle is a really good choice that you would be hard pressed to replace, without making a sizeable compromise somewhere.

Misuse has two meaning: to use for a bad purpose (criminals using it to do bad things) or use it incorrectly (hold it wrong). I was using misuse in the "hold it wrong" sense, but I agree that there's ambiguity there.

> What? I am in love with Apple's way of handling subscriptions. I know that whenever I want, I can cancel it, no strings attached.

Sure, and that's great. But why can't subscriptions be opt-in after a free trial, instead of opt-out? They can still send an email with a "Subscribe" button instead of a "Cancel" button. I would argue that's much more user-friendly.

If I'm remembering right, 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 (or if Best Buy was just taking losses on certain items).

> What qualifies you to instruct people how to manage their dev career

Well, absolutely nothing, and it's a shame to see people (I have to imagine mostly college interns and fresh grads who already fancy themselves as "mid-level" developers) waste money on this nonsense.

Unfortunately this is what happens when you see job advertisements requiring "Senior Developers" and specifying 5 years of total work experience. In no other industry can you be a 27 year old and be anything other than junior-to-mid. I say this as someone who was a senior developer in my late 20's, and you don't know anything in your late 20's.

But I suppose if you're a senior developer after a couple years, what's to say you can't advise people on their careers when you haven't even made it through a Presidential election?
I’m positively in love with this romantic idea that my vehicle isn’t really just about A to B. It’s my aircraft carrier from which I launch operations.

It keeps us warm or cold. Powers everything. Has entertainment. Shelter. Carries all my supplies. Having a small SUV in the parking lot of the beach turns my morning trip into a whole day trip with my toddlers napping and taking a break in the shade.

It’s what gets me about the supercarriers. If warfare suddenly disappeared, you’ve got these mobile bases you can anchor off the coast of a disaster zone with massive capabilities for logistics, a nuclear power plant, water purifier, hospital, machine shops, etc. Etc.

So this F150 power generator thing resonates with me.

Yes, a lot of smaller e-commerce platforms could do this, but finalizing order value can be a very complex workflow for bigger merchants with more varied sku mixes.

I’ve worked in multi-billion dollar Ecom companies where the programs to refine the order checkout process gets scoped as a multi year effort accounting for a couple of decades of legacy cruft... even if you separate the “product/tax/shipping” calculations from the “customer/credit/rewards” dependencies. But it’s often not worth separating them because they’re very inter-dependent. Moreso when you involve drop shipping or made-to-order things.

Not necessarily.

These bad bills keep coming up in an effort to address serious real problems, like child porn. People are going to keep proposing bills to address these problems until something passes.

By just concentrating on shooting down bad bill after bad bill without devoting any effort to getting good bills proposed the next bill after each defeated bad bill will be another bill from the same general set of people. Maybe the new one will address some of the issues in the prior ones but the chances are good that it won't address all of them.

Just telling everyone else what is wrong with their approach to solving a problem instead of also offering up your own better solutions tends to not work well in the long run.

> the user couldn't see the pricing until their trial expired

I assume that is what apple is avoiding here.
I agree with your reasoning, but not your conclusion. I think there is a level to which the reasoning stops applying in the presence of trolls, which are absolutely bad actors. The conclusions a troll presents are not even necessarily ones that they even believe, and toxic words and actions also stifles intellectual debate. Flamebait SHOULD be suppressed, and thats fairly universally agreed upon. That a downvoted comment turns more opaque on this platform is evidence enough of that. Often times there's no intellectual debate happening online, just social posturing on opposed sides.

Once you start talking about real people - like say for instance a video is posted of some white woman harassing and calling the police on a black person. Those doing the "cancelling" by calling their office are actively trying to create a societal social boundary, where you can't do that without consequences because you'd lose the trust of people you work with. That people are shocked someone could be fired for such a thing means they don't agree with that social boundary.

Re: "doing what feels right despite evidence" and "the ends justify the means" - those are not at all what I'm espousing and I certainly don't agree with them.
I'm surprised that this attitude survives along side the attitude of "the government sucks at everything and it should be made as small as possible" that seems to be so pervasive in the US.

And I'm surprised that I get the same blank stares from Americans that have lived for a decade in Europe. It's like they've never contemplated any other way of electing. Of course it's not true about everyone. I'm generalizing a lot here, but it still surprises me.

I think it gets more complex if you need to do kerberos constrained delegation. It's been a while since I looked into it and threw my hands up, but essentially I think it's the ephemeral nature of containers that is the problem, as machines need to be registered in AD and have delegation rights assigned.

Thanks for the feedback and I agree! I'm going to try to create guides for relativity and quantum mechanics. After I finish those, I'll keep expanding into general math topics, so hopefully those will help as well.

Also an FYI - I made a similar guide to linear algebra which you can also find here:

Amazon just lists it as a "subtotal," which I think is probably the best way to do it. I don't know about the "UX designer in a couple of hours" line: automatic shipping is a nightmarish bag of worms and isn't really a UX problem. What do you do if they order multiple SKU's that don't pack nicely into one box or are warehoused in different locations? Or if there is something weird about their shipping address? What do you use for box size and weight, and what approximation did you use for dunnage?

You can approximate UPS/FedEX costs by fitting a trend line, they are decently modeled by a linear (base charge + K*distance) function, but when you go to buy the label you might be way off. This puts you in the lose-lose-lose of either eating the difference of wrong estimates, overcharging for shipping and losing conversions, or just making people hate you by increasing the shipping over the estimate. Making a shipping API call is noticeably slow, so most people require an interaction after the address is entered.
