This just means that what used to be free will end up costing money when whatever new features they think they can charge for won't get enough users to cover their costs.

This is especially true if the free plan is more than enough for most users. Which, if you're positioning yourself as a Jira alternative -- most users won't need in-depth AI planning for sprints.

It's not a great business plan...

The subject of climate change always sparks some interesting and complex technological solutions. But what if the best solution isn't more technology, but less? What if, instead of more civilization, the solution is less civilization? What if the solution to surviving climate change isn't "consume other product" or "consume other fuel source", it's "don't consume"? Imagine if we are the last generation to experience the benefits of electricity and abundantly-stocked grocery stores. Imagine returning to a Bronze Age or Medieval European way of life. Is that disturbing? What if it's the answer?
Add there losses on battery charging and downconversion from grid, night time charge keeping, and you can easily get 40-50% more, so 2-3kWh is really optimistic, aim at 6-7kWh, and that's on wired charger.
Should? When this wasn’t the case economies sucked. When you can lose all your possessions if an investment you made fails, no one invested money.

There’d be no mortgages, no college loans, no car loans, and zero growth. The LLC is credited with allowing modern economies to happen since for the first time people were only liable for the portion invested, not their entire life assets.

Those countries slow to take it up demonstrably lagged economically.

Go read on the history of the LLC to see how it revolutionized the world.

There absolutely is a "there" there.

The DOJ has acknowledged that it has had a criminal investigation into Hunter Biden "and associates" for money laundering since 2019, and there is evidence and a credible witness that the Biden's (including Joe Biden) were involved in a bribery scheme with foreign governments.

Matlab has this!
>It comes with the CPU, motherboard, and RAM, all in one package.

Unfortunately, the RAM not being socketed means you're limited to 8GB, which disqualifies this machine as workstation.

Low CPU performance is tolerable, system chocking on low RAM isn't. I'm suffering on a laptop that "only" has 16GB RAM, and this is despite minimizing the load by alternating between Sway and i3 depending on mood on boot. Editor, Browser (unavoidably heavy, with a ton of tabs open as part of the workflow), PDF viewer, Music player and little else. Everything is bloated these days.

I don't see how 8GB can be tolerable as a workstation. It really is a deal breaker.

You're telling me humans can't recognize faces? Consider a security guard who sits at the entrance to a store and watches people come in. What are the chances he would facially recognize a repeat shoplifting offender?
Or perhaps “That would make us look bad because our founder is credulously slinging bullshit Russian disinformation without making any journalistic effort to validate the story, calling into question the credibility of past work we have published”
A reasonable story would not make them look bad. An unreasonable one would.
Yep, currently in this boat. Had a group of ~5 friends since about 4 years ago, where we subscribe to pretty much every streaming service out there and share the accounts within the group. This way we get every single subscription, while paying for the price of just one each (on average).

And streaming services realize that a lot of people use it that way, so they have nice individual profile functionality within a single account, so my shows and my recommendations don't get mixed up with those of other people using the account. Not every single streaming service had that feature at the beginning, but by now iirc they all got it.

I used to be the guy not watching tv everyday. And then I got married

Kidding. TV, especially good quality production, has been a great way for me to tune out of politics and the toxic environment of life in America. It's sad but for anyone just looking to get past the nightmare TV is a real boon.

Agreeing with the rest of your comment, but:

>> geoengineering

> You mean the thing that's already gotten us into this mess?

What got us into this mess is geo-moving-fast-and-breaking-things. Everyone chasing short-term profits and dumping externalities on everyone else.

I don't get the hate for geoengineering - i.e. planned, large-scale interventions. Sure, it would be better to not need it, but the way things are heading, we very well might.

I'm reacting to a certain perspective that seems to be dominant when it comes to climate change discourse, wherein its common to take the most severe/pessimistic interpretation of the science and then categorize any less severe interpretations as insufficient. I think that's a poor approach and only serves to alienate people who may be looking for something a little more even-handed or closely aligned with the trends in the science (as opposed to clinging to the extremes).

Having said that, I think that even the most optimistic interpretations of climate change are compelling enough to warrant immediate and dramatic action. But we should all strive for the most accurate interpretations of the science, which means being flexible and not dogmatic.
Remote Course in Quantum Software Product Development
In our experience building any form of meritocracy in recruiting, was excruciatingly difficult due to

1) inherent subconscious bias on the part of the recruiting team
2) pedigree bias - employers only wanting to view candidates that were from certain ivy league institutions

We tried long and hard, for a good 18 months, and it became an arduous battle fraught with the possibility of having to make unethical decisions in the structure of our algorithms. Our whole thesis was to create a system that recommended candidates based on their github repos. Pretty sure someone will solve this problem, but in our experience, it felt like a losing battle since recruiters wanted access to certain types of candidates and were continuing to reject candidates that were surfaced, with non-traditional backgrounds.

This was 2015, I think someone will solve this problem with time. The experience did teach us a thing or two about git commits, PRs and the overall experience of productivity through git based systems.
I suspect that it's easiest way to get much users.
Well it does take a certain level of intelligence to even get what the debate is even about doesn't it?

Do you prefer a UI? Like Hasura, AppSync, 8base, and firebase? The DSL is very very close to GraphQL’s SDL though, so learning it shouldn’t take more than 5 minutes.

The problem we’re solving is the tediousness of building a GraphQL API.

We decided to work on this 14 months ago because me and my co-founder have built many backend systems and 99% of the time it’s just CRUD, auth and some validation and transformation logic, yet it would still take a lot of time to get something done.

The problem is very clear to us, but we’re trying to refine the solution to have something that is 10x better than what is already in the market.

We went with the DSL route because we wanted to support as many languages as possible for “turing complete” logic and not get tied up to one language. Also, text is great, and running locally is even better because it gives you the freedom to integrate it into any system very easily, unlike UI-based cloud solutions which are neither text nor run locally.
Come on guys! Do you think he’d say - “yes, we can influence an election”? It’s like digging your own grave :-)
I have a small side business writing arduino code and building simple controller prototypes. A lot of the code I write is in that price range and is written as I sit in front of the TV. The most interesting thing I've discovered is that hobbyists don't mind paying for code, but they really don't want to pay anything but the lowest possible prices for hardware even after it's been explained why the dirt cheap Arduino peripherals are often crap and spending just a few dollars more for better designed stuff is worth it. AliExpress has firmly anchored the price of hardware at close to $0.

The only ones who take me up on my offer to write all the code and assemble the hardware are businesses. Hobbyists will struggle for weeks to save a few bucks.

My best customers are small or micro businesses who need a simple thing automated but the project size is below the threshold that engineering services firms want to deal with. Many of them are engineers themselves who just want to farm the task out and get it over with.

My original idea was that I saw a hole in the market that could be filled by code on the level of PLC programming, but on more flexible hardware. I'm still sure that the hole exists, but it's not clear just how scalable my approach is.

At that point though most DIY'ers would be better served just buying a faster ADC. Many ADC's nowadays also have built in anti-aliasing filters, and can be quite cheap. Likely the easier and cheaper option with better results for most basic applications.

Still a basic RC filter as the op mentioned can quiet the higher frequency pops from Arduino circuits. Many applications benefit from a 16bit ADC if only to get a clean 14bits out. For those curious about the problem, here's a short write-up on aliasing: https://e2e.ti.com/blogs_/archives/b/precisionhub/archive/20...

While I have no doubt misogyny may very well be a theme in a male dominated industry it’s challenging to determine any actual misogyny apart from the author’s own extensive identity crisis.

Additionally the author describes the given industry as tech but I suspect they are talking more about a specific geographic subculture. I have worked as a corporate developer for a while and women are generally treated fairly equally occupying all levels of leadership and the full spectrum of competence and expertise. Half the corporate leadership at my current super-sized employer is female and any exclusionary behavior at work could end you.
Unfortunately that incentive exists at home too. I, with my mom, were the primary caretakers of my father with dementia. Without any kind of sedation he was actually more mentally aware but also prone to violence, yelling, sprinting (if in the house easy to trip). On the sedative he was more manageable but also clumsier and more prone to slipping and falling. Overall I'd rather deal with that than having to be a referee between him and my mom!

Google end-to-end encryption journalism. e2e encrypted services keep journalists and their sources alive, it far outranks the petty trivialities of twitter.

Every social media website has a "follow" feature, nothing is special about twitter that makes the publishers more trustworthy than any other social network.

> You're out of touch if you don't realize you can get more accurate news faster on Twitter than thru News Networks. Trust me on that.

I don't need to trust you, we can agree to disagree on your opinion that twitter is a good place to get news.
Poor polar bears are hungry; they need the ice for navigation and hunting. Interesting if and how they will adapt. Here [1] they say that ice bears weathered the Medieval Warm Period of 800-1300 because it wasn't warmer than the late 20th century and stayed cold in some parts.

Well once again I agree with your actual sentiment!
At it's core, we find it to be an Apple OS vs Windows OS problem. You can either build highly complex project management systems, with 50 different types of subsets, customizations and setup instructions (ie Windows?) or try to design software that just works through simplicity in design and set defaults based on your workflow (ie Apple!).

It's an interesting conundrum and one that we think B2B software rarely gets right. Why can't B2B software inspire delight in the user and just work?

We've decided to have a laser focus on teams that ship early and often, and help with their workflows, by innovating through design. That being said, we still have a long way to go.
I'm sorry to tell you that the only solution that has ever worked for me is to leave and join a company where engineers make those decisions.

This is exactly right. Greenwald has distanced himself from the Democratic establishment for years and basically given Trump a free pass to instead lead bizarre crusades against perceived Democrat hypocrisy.

This stuff from him today is just playing on hype. Having read the draft article he put on Substack, there is simply nothing in it. There is no evidence anywhere suggesting the Biden emails merit this reaction, let alone merit any sort of investigation.

I agree. But these two examples are different in a way that is important to me: my personal wiki is under my control; Google is not. Therefore, when I find important things in Google, I sometimes still take care to rewrite them into my wiki, using my own words.

Using the wiki feels like extending my brain. Using Google feels more like outsourcing it.
I'm in a similar boat. What I'm working on is publisher tooling, so I've been reaching out to indie creators. I've been asking for interviews for product market fit. Everybody who accepted an interview asked to be a part of the beta but correspondence is slow because most people are busy doing other things at the moment, and what I'm doing is a pretty integral change to their workflow so conversion costs may be high.
