I did this in 2012 from Australia to South Korea - theres a bunch of specialized travel agencies you can book through. From memory it took about 10 days.

The cost was about $100 / day, but this was almost 10 years ago, so I guess it went up by now. This isn't really competitive as travel, but if you consider the experience of being on a container ship a holiday in itself, the cost was quite reasonable IMO.

There was one other passenger on board, and we could go anywhere on the ship without an escort except the engine room. I really enjoyed it, but its not for everyone as there is no communication / internet access available so you have to be the sort of person who can entertain yourself.

Also wouldn't go if you get seasick easily. Unlike say cruise ships, the crew isn't too worried about passenger comfort, and wil just plow straight through storms.
my experience is that is very very hard to actually sell "value metric" SaaS products above 500€/month because charging somethign else every month doesnt fit into most (maybe its a german thing?) companies budget calculations. they dont get "maybe 6000 maybe 12000 euros" for a year to run your software they get an exact budget. unless you are directly involved intro their payment/sales funnel and get a percentage of this i doubt this is applicable for typical B2B SaaS yearly pricings.
Just an english phrase that has likely been around since before computers.
> There is power in a union

I agree, but also with the caveat that the union has to be good. And I think that was a significant issue here which is that there isn't union know how about how to organize and operate in a pre-IPO, pre-profit, pre-critical-mass startup.

Anyone who has worked at startups knows that there are ways workers get screwed that are specific to startups. The whole idea of liquidation preference for example is nutty given that a 1x return doesn't change a fund's dynamics but does rob employees of a meaningful chunk of cash.

But then the other dynamic is that there is both a very real chance of the company failing and everyone losing their jobs and of the need for some people to lose their jobs in order for everyone else to keep them.

I think unions could work in pre-IPO startups if they were aligned with the IPO. There would still be a lot to bargain for and they could help soften the downside of failure while chiseling off more equity for the staff.

But this unionization effort didn't seem particularly savvy about the dynamics of being pre-IPO. For example getting busted by "investors might not want to invest if this succeeds" is not a particularly savvy way to go down. I wouldn't want people bargaining on my behalf who hadn't proactively predicted that concern and countered it.

But that's not particularly a knock on Medium's organizers. I just think this is an area of unionization that hasn't been invented yet and it would have benefited from people who saw it that way.
Intel has proven for the last 4 or so years that a mature 14nm node can be competitive with <=10nm nodes.

Progress in chip manufacturing doesn't happen exclusively at the node size of the cutting edge. As the manufacturing technology matures, I'm sure we'll see advances across all the major foundries, even if they aren't all competing to be the first to a new node. And the fact that all of these foundries remain in business is a strong indicator that perhaps the most expensive, most cutting edge manufacturing process is not optimal for every single chip manufactured.
> The point I'm making is that large companies benefit on a scale much much larger than others.

They do benefit immensely, but no by having "others fix and build" their own repos. You're overestimating the source code contributions and underestimating the cost to manage a hugely popular project.

> The Gameplan is to gain from the community, not contribute.

This is just silly. The """gameplan""" is to contribute and AND grow a community, which benefits everyone. Does it benefit more the company than the community as a whole? Maybe, but that's petty reasoning.
They often do; it's two-factor authentication that's the problem. If they'd support some open standard like WebAuthn this problem wouldn't exist, but they all insist on using home-grown solutions.
> For reasons that are complicated and that I don't fully understand, the software development community in the eighties and nineties developed a culture of anti-capitalism and liberal values that put technology on a pedestal for its own sake. Open source good; commercial software bad. Free software good; commercial software bad.

I think a lot of techies believe there is massive untapped potential in information technology, and to some degree that the commercialism occludes humanity from gaining a fair, reasonable, and developing perspective on how computation and communication happens in the modern world.

We see the world not as being well served by the software and services about, but as being made helpless, as suffering real pain, and never being given the chance to understand or grapple with issues we encounter. The current system is not a fair shake, and does not permit the formation of human will. Computing technology is too amazing, humans have too much awesome potential, to be bounded by such a finite fixed tragic end, as all this. It's long been time to stop playing with shadows on the wall, & embarking on a more honest means to make accessible the tiniest yet most amazing empowering bicycle-of-the-mind creation of our era is a journey we feel deeply moved to start upon.

This is great, and I plan on getting one to support the project. I do however wish there was a smaller screen one (perhaps EInk) with more 4G bands like band 71, and with Anbox/microG support to run apps like Signal.

I would like to know what apps people are using for video chat, if they aren't using Signal.
Thanks mful for your message.

Recurrence is something we will improve. But you have pretty specific ones :)

We will actually add a planning view with a full week. We are definitely aligned on that. Stay put.

For the future dates, yes indeed it's not ideal. We are in the process of fixing that. Well spotted.

For the navigation, again, need to improve you are right. You need to ESC to come back to arrow navigation for now.

Clicking out of the console is not easy to solve unfortunately. We are on it as well. What you can do is either focus on the console and press ESC. Or you can hit CTRL+SPACE once more and it will hide the console.

We do support "do something on DAY at TIME for DURATION" but it's still a bit buggy. We need to improve it :)

Thanks for all the feedback.

Right, there was an index in place during the Great Depression for sure. From wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500

History

In 1860, Henry Varnum Poor formed Poor's Publishing, which published an investor's guide to the railroad industry.[20]

In 1923, Standard Statistics Company (founded in 1906 as the Standard Statistics Bureau) began rating mortgage bonds[20] and developed its first stock market index consisting of the stocks of 233 U.S. companies, computed weekly.[1]

In 1926, it developed a 90-stock index, computed daily.[1]

In 1941, Poor's Publishing merged with Standard Statistics Company to form Standard & Poor's.[20][21]

On March 4, 1957, the index was expanded to its current 500 companies and was renamed the S&P 500 Stock Composite Index.[1]
CPAN is great, but also horrible. There are so many packages that do the same thing, and it was often hard for me to know which to pick. Want OO? Use Moose, or Moo, or Mouse or whatever else. Then hope that the one you picked will continue to be maintained. I resisted moving to Python for a long time, but when I finally did it was a bit refreshing to have more packages built into the language so I didn't have to make so many choices on what 3rd-party libraries to install. Perl will always have a special place in my heart though.

As far as reading code goes, Perl could be particularly messy, but I've seen some very hard to read Python code as well. And Javascript... I still don't get why people want to use it server-side. But all these languages have tooling that helps make sure code is at least formatted correctly, and follows some sort of best practices. I think one of the hardest parts of reading Perl, to me, was that it wasn't always clear what package a particular function or class was imported from.

Thank you for making clear how it works, as that was not directly clear. This is one of the problems with granting access tokens.. there's no way of knowing what'll happen with them.

Why not just release a macOS version on the appstore? Or, if you've created a swift version anyway, use that codebase for a universal app? There are also quite a number of apps that allow myself to 'convert' it to a 'native' app, with the exception of some features of course (such as global hotkeys).

Both desktop and webapp versions don't work for me (401 from google apps, not gmail), and show a blank screen. Login -> uncheck some checkboxes -> retry and check the boxes -> still blank.

Note: This could be create completely (afaict) using the built-in cal/task integration features of macOS/iOS, and would allow you use all supported calendar/task-services. For example, noteplan simply uses that, and will support dropbox as storage in later versions I think (it was removed from the beta version)

The website makes the following very clear (not in fine print but right at the beginning of the description).

> Beta Limited Edition PinePhones are aimed solely at early adopters. More specifically, only intend for these units to find their way into the hands of users with extensive Linux experience.

If you mistake this for a finished phone, I hope regulators will see that Pine64 did due diligence to warn you that this is a half-finished prototype of a phone. At the end of the day, if malicious customers do complain to regulators because their "early-adopter" phone wasn't production ready, it seems that legally Pine64 can simply refund those purchases.
It’s not about requiring that exact solution. It’s about providing security. There are other ways. If banks require a controlled endpoint, they can supply a hardware key.
Are you saying that you think the people who pushed this law had no opinion whatsoever on the activity itself, but just wanted black and latino people to suffer through an arbitrary ban?

It seems much more reasonable to guess that neighbors were annoyed by the activity itself and passed a nimby law because they're selfish.

>"A susceptor is a material used for its ability to absorb electromagnetic energy and convert it to heat (which is sometimes designed to be re-emitted as infrared thermal radiation). The electromagnetic energy is typically radiofrequency or microwave radiation used in industrial heating processes, and also in microwave cooking. The name is derived from susceptance, an electrical property of materials that measures their tendency to convert electromagnetic energy to heat.[1]"

[...]

>"In microwave cooking, susceptors are built into paper packaging of certain foods, where they absorb microwaves which penetrate the packaging. This process raises the susceptor patch temperature to levels where it may then heat food by conduction or by infrared radiation.

Conduction heating occurs with good thermal contact between the susceptor and food. Because of the lower temperatures there is less browning, but more than if there were no susceptor at all.

If there is an air gap (or at least, poor thermal contact) between the susceptor and food, the susceptor will heat to a much higher temperature (due to its smaller effective heat capacity when in poor contact with food), and at these higher temperatures, will radiate strongly in the infrared. This infrared radiation then shines onto the food below or next to the susceptor, causing a "broiling" type effect (high skin heating) due to lower ability of infrared to penetrate foods, vs. microwaves. Conversion of some microwave energy to infrared is particularly useful for foods which require a large amount of crust-browning from infrared, such as frozen pies.

Design and use

Susceptors are usually made of metallised film, ceramics or metals (such as aluminium flakes)."

Exactly. If they have to clarify it in some press release, then they should be amending the ordinance so that it is clear.

Unfortunately, the system is lazy. Politicians don't bother to amend laws when these issues arises, police can use their "professional discretion" to enforce or not enforce a law (which leads to unequal enforcement), and the courts tend to "interpret" laws in ways that don't make sense (partially because of the politicians I mentioned earlier, but also a misapplication of statutory construction rules and lenity).

Whether they compete on cutting edge nodes is irrelevant to whether they compete. My comment was explicitly in response to the idea of a TSMC foundry monopoly.

It's certainly valuable to understand the specific nature of their competition, but such conversation tautologically defines TSMC as not-monopoly.

Ninja-edit: And even if you want to restrict the definition of competition in chip manufacturing to only those foundries with cutting edge nodes, then Samsung's existence is sufficient argument against the claim of monopoly on that front.

It doesn't.

There is a limited number of cities with weather conditions humans prefer.

Some people think others care about culture - no, they mostly don't. They care about weather conditions, safety and job opportunities. Culture is a nice to have feature.

Unless governments get busy building new cities/towns, every existing city with favorable weather conditions will turn into rich people, next to homeless people, or just rich people, if they enact laws against homeless people to get rid of them.

By the way, if governments get busy building new cities/towns, you don't get rid of the problem, you just delay it until every favorable location has a city, and then you're back to having this same problem.

It's the same as dating - we can't all have miss universe, because it's a zero sum game. If you live in a small town and got to date miss universe, who didn't get discovered yet, you shouldn't get mad when a talent agency visits your town and takes your miss universe to New York to be a fashion model and date a super athlete. You should be grateful that you got to date miss universe for a while not due to merit in a zero sum game, but due to pure luck. But, you know, good luck explaining that to the guy who lives in a small town, had a beauty and now doesn't anymore. Those fucking talent agencies, maaan.

I’m surprised journalists would tempt management with unionization, as the industry is on life support, and backing management into a corner on behalf of labor concerns seems like a fast way to push the business off the cliff. The only thing I disagree with is union strikes, because that hurts everyone, those in the union, and those out. Perhaps unions would get a more favorable reception from businesses if they take the ability to destroy the company off the table.

I was a little underwhelmed by Tarkovsky's take on Solaris; the book was written with a lot more evocative prose, especially with respect to color, which made the film seem just so plain. But I really liked Stalker - then again I hadn't read Roadside Picnic. My understanding is that Tarkovsky's adaptations are usually quite different from the source material.

This is the sort of thing that makes some people really wary of the GPL and other "viral" licenses, and I don't think you can blame them. The "blame" for this falls on someone for throwing in GPL'd code into an MIT project, but the headache drops onto a whole bunch more people down the line. It seems other commenters think this will probably be alright, but I bet this is a lot of corporate type's worst nightmare, that some underling added some segment of GPL code to their product, and now the entire thing is "technically" GPL.

One can only imagine if it was AGPL instead of GPL, and how people would debate if they should send source requests to all the sites running on rails ;-)
The benefits go both ways: the community also reaches out to the developers. A lot of software is added to repos without any input from the devs.

The plain truth of the matter is that commercial app stores are malware distributors, and community repositories are not. The commercial app store model does not work, at least not for the user.

Also: not all software is commercial, and not everyone wants their phones commercialized. Your business model is often simply not welcome on the platform. You're not entitled to make money. If we want a platform without commercial software incentives, that's our business, not yours.

Woah, nice results! I have ADHD-PI, depression, and crazy-level anxiety (possibly Cushing's syndrome from numerous symptoms).

Maybe a bad prior, but one that arose from personal experience.

If you haven't had to spend the night wondering whether your neighbor was going to barge in and murder you, waiting for the moving truck to arrive in the morning ... Well, I suppose you might not share my priors.

On the other hand, I'm not sure what could have been done to prevent it. My neighbor's list of grievances was largely imaginary. His tales of how he wanted to kill his pets seemed earnest enough to make his personal threats equally disturbing.

That's why advertising the service around privacy is being criticized. It's a business. It will do business things. Saying it won't do those things is a distraction...like this conversation.

People who seriously care about privacy are not using Google to manage their information. They are not even your potential users, because they don't use Google.

Not storing data on your servers is a sound way to reduce your liability and attack surface. But that's an operational tradeoff that comes with a business dependency on Google's terms of service.

In B2B sales, not storing on your servers is a feature. But it's not really privacy. It's security.

I think an underrepresented problem with WFH is that even among senior engineers collaborating on a project, overall communication goes down and it results in less cohesion among the team. It results in a small, but quite noticeable amount of siloing within a project. I've also found I don't really know my coworkers as people much anymore because we don't have much of any off-topic discussions which leads to strained social dynamics.
The best of both worlds is possible. I can install $StrictGNULinuxDistro with very strict policies about software freedom and quality and so on; and then if I want to, I can add Flathub, $OtherFlatpakRepo and/or $ThirdPartyDebOrRpmOrWhateverRepo as well.

Gatekeeping may be a feature or a bug depending on your opinion, but we don't all have to have the same priorities for our software repos, because we can each choose which repos we use.
