The web site states: "The first-ever battery replacement program."

I'm not sure this is true. Apple had an AirPods battery replacement program before COVID-19. I had my wife's done. I wanted to get mine done this past January, but it didn't seem to be an option anymore. Maybe because of the pandemic and the global supply chain problems and such.

"Only current" battery replacement program, maybe. But not first-ever.
The CEO should not be presenting the app in the first place. Product demos should be done by someone who knows the product inside and out, knows where the unfinished bits are (if any), and has experience presenting products to investors/buyers.
If what you believe is that marijuana makes people lethargic and low-output, why is that alone not a good enough reason to keep it illegal? There's really no need to factor "the capitalists" into the equation. If you agree with the basic premise that marijuana makes people lethargic and lazy, then you also have to admit that smoking marijuana will have negative effects on virtually all aspects of someone's life.

The reason why everyone is taught that drugs are bad starting in the 1st grade is not because of "the capitalists."
How convenient I asked myself this question about five hours ago!

Is there a good guide on how to do this step by step? I don’t mind learning and getting my hands dirty but I also fear things like getting security right.
IIRC the work with Demon Core was described as "tickling the dragon's tail", not "following the checklist". Wikipedia also mentions "Slotin's own unapproved protocol".
It never ends, unless you stop advancing/keeping up. That's the frustrating thing about this field, you are never an expert because the technology advances so quickly.
That's a good question - I didn't actually start wearing a mask until a little later, when the mask mandate came into force in the UK. Our first lockdown was definitely pretty severe and there were much fewer cars on the road here, but that has gone away, so you could indeed be onto something.
This app seems its using create react app, so agreed the app might come with a few extra things that you might not need. However, there are a few reasons I might choose CRA over static HTMl. Don’t get me wrong, HTML is great, but the developer experience can be primative.

Here is why I like using CRA for some projects:

1. Live reload. This comes for free with CRA. Makes dev work easy.

2. As easy as installing a component and getting started. And they logically fit in the code flow. Native import libraries, you have to write the JavaScript and point em to your divs and dom and initialize em.

3. Let’s say in the future, I want to reuse the code logic in a different app, I can just take the js and element as one unified component and move it across.

Tbh, for an app like this, after doing a production build (npm run build), I don’t think it’d make a radical difference in performance with raw html or react. Might just be dev preference, and ease of use.
To add some more context to how Facebook hires juniors - Yes Facebook now only hires juniors once they complete an internship where they have to thrive with very limited instruction. And yes it’s mostly elite college graduates.
I could easily make an argument for price, availability, requirements for local zoning codes.

I like Wikipedia’s definition of politics: “Politics (from Greek: Πολιτικά, politiká, 'affairs of the cities') is the set of activities that are associated with making decisions in groups, or other forms of power relations between individuals, such as the distribution of resources or status.”

Any subject arising from the interactions of people can be viewed through a political lens of some sort, but the saying you’re objecting to is typically used in the context of the coded attempt to censor or ignore unpleasant news as being “political”, which in truth usually just translates to “I resent being forced to acknowledge this.”

What does Ag do? "Efficiency Is Everything" eats for $500/year. Compare that to medical which is a minimum of a few thousand dollars a year if you are perfectly healthy and $20000 if you have a 1 day stay at a hospital.
Generic electronics recycling is very expensive. I had to recycle an old 55" rear projection TV and it cost $150. Good luck getting the average person to pay that instead of disposing of it (illegally).

It would be more efficient and cheaper for companies to create a recycling process and include that in the purchase price.
Cut sugar industry subsidies and promote real food. Covid pandemic is nothing to the obesity one.
It still quite hard to achieve FI early, even on a tech salary.

I can't speak for San Fran, but I'm on a pretty good (by UK standards) tech salary in London. The cost of living (rents mostly) still make putting a high % of salary away every month a challenge. If you have kids as well, it's almost a non-starter.

The marginal tax rate means the only mechanism to do this efficiently are via pension contributions (similar to a US 401k), and these are locked until age 55 (60 by the time i get there).

Financial independence in your 30s is an enormous privilege.
What is meant by hard listening? I’ve never heard that. If engineers are reluctant to speak up its probably because years of experience that management/regular people just wants yes/no/we can do that type answers. Giving technical answers to things is sometimes perceived as aggressive or intimidating because the people who are supposed to be in charge often can’t follow all details. It takes a rare boss to truly trust the engineers.
I've heard, anecdotally, of people losing their airpods often. I haven't yet, but curious how common that problem is?

It must be a thing, since Apple lets you use your devices to find your missing AirPods, and they are even part of the FindMe network.

I've sometimes wondered how many AirPods have been flushed down toilets around the world. Even if only .001% of AirPods meet their demise this way, considering the number of AirPods sold, it must be a pretty good number.
Commercial rooftop, residential rooftop, doesn't matter much at the geographic scale of grids. Certainly doesn't hurt to put it on commercial roofs though! And since those are often flat, it's probably a lot safer. Check out the map of electrical infrastructure in California:

https://cecgis-caenergy.opendata.arcgis.com/apps/california-...

You'll see that on the scale of substations, industry is right next to residential, and virtually indistinguishable.

Consider 500MW placed on the roofs of homes in San Jose, versus 500MW in a somewhat close green field build. The distant green field build is going to send every single kWh over transmission lines. Where as close to 0 kWh of the residential solar would hit transmission, meaning that all transmission requirements are lessened, as are distribution requirements.
It sounds like everyone is going to get fired because of the leadership team not being able to secure payroll, whether through a stream of customers or investors

Symptoms: ceo + cto being unable to successfully pitch non-existing products, building prototypes for investors vs customers, and customer revenue being from purely custom services

it's easy to spot basic warning signs like these for people who have been around, but not for new grads :(
Why would anybody in this hypothetical thread discuss the politics of owning/renting, when that doesn't bring you closer to any solution?
No it can't.

Plus, Biden is the last person to be trusted with this. The overall lockdowns in the US are basically a joke. Your government let big pharma abuse the entire society for more than a year and people are still so discombobulated by what happened that they've started to develop a stockholm syndrome.
I expect that some games would put subroutines once in the zero page and then self-modify addresses in there.

Instructions are only written once but could potentially be written by any store with zero page indirect[1] or indexed addressing.

Total aside, in this context I think it's "cue". Like a cue card.
I agree that manufacturers should bear responsibility for recycling unwanted/returned devices - but why should they be forced to pay a bounty for lost/stolen devices?
> Learn to put force, power and truth behind your conviction while being civil and not being afraid to harm the other persons precious feelings.

Calling them "precious" feelings sort of belies the idea that you're just talking facts in a forceful way.

If you struggle to separate your disdain for people who disagree with you then that's a chance to grow, or a chance to dig your heels in.

Seems you've made your choice; hopefully one day you'll reverse it.
> > The owners won't get money from people who pirated content once they make their content available again.

> 1. Their own fault

Owners have made a bad commercial move but it doesn't force people to pirate their content. Nothing does. There are no pressure from SG1 owners to pirate their content, no incentives. On the contrary they will use digital rights laws to protect their assets. It's entirely their rights to do so and nothing in the commonwealth, US or European laws give the right to people to pirate SG1 content when it's not available on a streaming platform.

> 2. It has been proven, time and again, that piracy goes down, significantly, once content is available.

So ? It doesn't make piracy of SG1 content legal in any way.

> So they will get their money even from people who pirated this content previously. Why? Because it's much easier to just pay Netflix and watch or re-watch.

> > The only people responsible for pirating SG1 are the pirates. The owners of SG1 don't owe anything to Netflix viewers and they certainly didn't force the hands of anybody to pirate their content.

> Ah yes. The poor owners who didn't anything at all and now are suffering. Except they did: they made their own content unavailable.

Which is their entire freaking right to do so. Just like maintainers of open source projects don't owe their users anything the SG1 content owners don't owe anything to Netflix users.

> The person was willingly giving them money, legally. The owners made their content unavailable. Guess they didn't want money after all.

No, the person was willingly giving money to a third-party, Netflix.

> Guess they didn't want money after all.

Or maybe Netflix got greedy or maybe the contract between them had limit in time and Netflix agreed to that time limit or maybe SG1 content owners have another contract with another platform and then the person is free to subscribe to it. Whatever it is, it's up to them to manage their content however they see fit.

Whatever it is, the sole responsibility in pirating SG1 content is on the pirates. There are no way around it, at no point were they forced to pirate it. They are free agents of this world, they decided to obtain something from someone and that someone clearly didn't want to sell it.

I am pirating a lot of stuff but I am not hiding behind entitled justifications which don't make sense.

There are specific sports forums (for example) that trump anything out there. It’s way better than the subreddit. They are all out there but the community is self selected, as in, you really have to be into that shit to seek such a place out. Anyone that finds those places knows exactly where they are, as in, they know how ‘generic’ and ‘surface-level’ more broadcasted alternatives are (subreddits, HN).

Slashdot has your better users at the moment compared to HN. It’s probably so because who the hell tells anyone about Slashdot now days? And any of the new kids would get laughed away usually. You just have to know what you are looking for.

Rule of thumb:

Avoid any place with under 25s, they are too lame to converse with.
Make is tremendously useful for running jobs with (static) dependencies. I used to run make for managing Docker instances until docker-compose became a thing.
"Dude", if you think Christianity is mostly about what Jesus taught or his commandments... then I'm sorry but you don't understand Christianity at all.

Christianity is a multifaceted historical phenomenon, a cultural tradition of which Jesus and even the text of the Bible is a small part.

Saying Christianity is about what Jesus said and did makes as much sense as saying that the US is about the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. In both cases, it's not nothing, but neither is it the whole story, or even 10% of the story.

You're free to decide what Christianity means to you, but not to prevent others from doing the same for themselves. After all, others doing it for themselves is precisely why "Christianity" is a family of seemingly countless denominations and divisions within. It's not a single monolithic thing, or even close to it.

I don't see it. Productivity growth is at 5.4%. Wage growth at around 3%. Any demand that cannot be served today will be served in 2022 or 2023 when new production capacity comes online. Demographics don't look good. The trade war tariffs can be reversed if needed. From what I have heard only 25% of the stimulus entered the economy. Assuming 8 trillion stimulus that is only 2 trillion in effective stimulus. It's peanuts as a percentage of GDP. What people call "money printing" by the Fed is literally just the act of filling bank reserves. People used their stimulus to pay off debt, meaning demand for loans is going down. That Fed money isn't entering the economy, it's entering the charts. Volatility in all statistics is 2x what you would expect outside a pandemic.

I'll be honest. The inflation news are getting boring. Yes there is inflation today. However, the press just publishes whatever people want to hear and for some reason they want to hear that there is persistent inflation. Feeling inflation is much easier than looking at the boring data. It's easy to turn a housing bubble into "housing inflation" and a stock market bubble into "stock inflation" and then smugly tell everyone that CPI/PCE is wrong or manipulated without even doing something as basic as looking at corporate or rental revenue which do go up, but not as quickly as the stock price. 3% rent inflation is already in the CPI for years...

For those who haven't used it, ctrl-r in the command line is the best thing in the world. It does a reverse-search over previous commands. Set your max history size to unlimited, and your CLI will remember /all/ commands you ever type, making it very easy to find long, strange incantations that you figured out once, so long as you can remember some small part of the command.

For example, How did I do that magical ffmpeg thing last time? Just hit ctrl-r, type ffmpeg, and keep hitting ctrl-r to find previous examples until I find what I'm after.
There's a lot of that around here
Is that really what you want? News being locked behind increasingly strict locks?

I've worked with all sorts of brilliant people and genuine 10x developers, and it's true both that students can achieve great things and that anyone can make a mistake - and that low-quality work environments like that of the OP can force anyone to make mistakes.
What are you talking about? Right wing media space is large and powerful. Fox alone is massive anf then you have huge amount of talk radio, podcasts, journals and so on.
Only for billing cost of procedures. It's still a mess.

Did you know that hospitals make money by using name brand medications? They will get a contract with a brand, like Motrin, and charge you full price at $8 a pill. Then Motrin will will evaluate how much the hospital used and give them a big rebate to bring the hospital's cost down under $1 per pill. You can literally buy a bottle of ibuprofen for what they charge for a single pill, but of course in the name of safety (and really kickbacks too) they won't allow the cheaper outside medication. It's effectively an internal monopoly.
Earlier this year I wrote a piece interviewing ex-traditional engineers to compare and contrast with software engineering. [1] Pieces like this were a lot of my inspiration: there's big difference between how we conceive of trad engineering and how it's actually practiced. Couple of misconceptions from this piece:

> Engineering is less risky than software because engineering experiences fewer constituent component interactions. While minor changes to one part of a car's structure can easily affect the crash robustness of another, it would be unusual for a design flaw in the dome light to cause intermittent engine stalls. In a home construction project, you would have to work pretty hard to make a toilet flush every time someone rang the doorbell.

While software has more "component interactions", each component is also more consistent than physical components can be. One example: using stainless steel screws on an aluminum plate can cause your building to collapse. [2] That's a bit of an extreme case, but many fields of engineering, like electrical and chemical, regularly struggle with small changes leading to wild differences in the emergent phenomena.

> The final reason that software is more difficult to get right than engineering projects concerns midcourse design changes. The physical world is not as malleable as the insubstantial world of software and, consequently, clients simply have lower expectations. Congress does not go to NASA halfway through a moonshot and ask them to go to Mars instead. Most engineering projects are able to actually use the waterfall design method: determine functional requirements, design, implement, test. For most software projects, this is a recipe for disaster.

Very few projects are built using "waterfall", and everybody I interviewed had horror stories of requirements changing mid-construction. At least a couple people I talked to had to move buildings after they were built. One ex-industrial engineer worked for Boeing and his sole job was to manage midcourse design changes.

One story I didn't put in the essays: a naval engineer worked on an oil rig. They needed to add a new piece of equipment, but it would have caused the rig to violate certain liveability constraints. It could stay on for short periods of time, but not 24/7. So they built a nearby platform to store the equipment, and then airlifted it in by helicopter every time they needed to use it, and airlifted it out immediately right after.

> Writing software is most similar to writing fiction novels.

Almost everybody I interviewed said that writing software was very similar to their old work in engineering. A lot of people I've talked to outside the project said it was most similar to cooking, or planning an event, or doing surgery, or whatever. Most fields are like other fields, which is why interdisciplinary studies teach us so much.

If no code was copyrightable nor licensable, people could reverse engineer any code they get access to. It would be hard to keep code completely proprietary. You would not be able to distribute your code at all.

I am not saying this is the way we want to go, I am just curious about the thought experiment.
What's the difference between HN and Reddit's thread structure? Both are threaded. And I actually prefer the lines besides the comments, makes the discussion easier to follow.
They could be referring to the fact Apple did not really replace your batteries, but instead just gave you a new set of AirPods.

OTOH, I guess Apple’s program does replace the batteries, just not in the way I thought they would.
