Nobody wants to work outside at wages so low.

A co-worker years ago was the son of a construction worker. One winter his father was on a job site in New York, within easy view of an office building. Some of the clerical staff in an office put up a sign in the window: "It's 70 Degrees In Here". The construction workers put up their own sign: "It's $X/hour Out Here", $X being considerably higher than the going wage for clerical workers.
That's a pretty cool idea. I'm gonna see what I can do. Thank you!

I also lean that way -- I biked the same 2 to 5 routes for about a decade. I choose the route mostly based on length and the number of hills. I find the familiarity lets me "zone out" and get some real thinking done!

Scrum ceremonies reminded me scenes from the Idiocracy (2006) movie.

It's so idiotic I was shocked when I first experienced it.
Large organizations are hard for startup people but easy for people who want a straightforward job. In a sense sitting in meetings and making decks is an easy way to make a decent amount of money.

If you are self-driven and seeking to improve things and do cool work these jobs are psychologically quite difficult.

I was always frustrated, first as an enterprise guy, then as a consultant.

Eventually I started a company and quit my job, and then it clicked.
tldr: No more fully-functional 3rd-party screen replacements for now.

I ran a go club for years and from it 1) met most of current friends 2) helped two couples get together, 3 kids and counting 3) got connected to someone who eventually helped me get the best job I could ever find.

I think this happens because it functions as a type of personality test, and allows people to demonstrate diligence and curiosity without being as directly confrontational as chess. In a club setting it also helps around teaching; and having a clear ranking system allows relationships based on respect / status to form easily.
Scrum is not a scam.

It was popularized as a way to micromanage developers and drive them to produce more.

I think we can argue about whether that 'more' has been quality or not, the right output or not, whether developers and other workers deserve dignity or not, etc., but I think it continues to deliver on its core goal -- tighter management control of and domination of workers, with all the benefits for management and ownership and investors that brings.
My father was like that, it's more of a "monkey see, monkey do" type of thing.
There’s a quote attributed to adam smith “there’s a lot of ruin in a nation”.

A large enterprise such as Google, GE, or IBM can be poorly managed for decades before being economically forced to change.

I observed a team making 25 MM per engineer in a large company that made one change per year. There are products at google that require 400+ pages of documentation/proof to change.
I don’t know why, but whenever I check my heart rate with a stopwatch, my heart beats synchronize with the watch ticks almost immediately (my normal pulse is 60 bpm). You’d think the likelihood of that happening is fairly low, but it happens almost every time.
Wow this is really cool and well designed. Sorry for this simple question but what did you use to get the nice sliding like animation? Is that intentional or just a result of updating the currently selected article?

What about the colors do you find odd? I didn't put that much thought into the color choices, so I'm really curious.
Almost every international company that has tried to do business in China has had it's IP stolen, and quite often has been blocked from ever really being profitable. I remember in Business school in 2008, the hot trend was businesses trying to open markets in China and offshore there. Is this still the case? Why would any responsible CEO do business in China after seeing what happened to the two Canadians, what happened in Hong Kong, and seeing countless international businesses robbed?
I adore this except for one thing - the infinite scroll.

If you added paging, it'd be perfect.
okay, your phone was stolen and you have location. What next?

The likelihood of the local PD deploying resources to recover your $xxx device is extremely low (non-existent), so will you chase down your thief and confront that stranger? Do you have a weapon that you're prepared to use if the bad guy threatens you with one?

All you have gained is the illusion of safety, while more data is siphoned off your device, even while it is off.

hi - yes im aware of headscale. it doesnt have 2-FA right now.

Pritunl is the only solution that (partially) works. other than that - basically the entire wireguard ecosystem is non-2FA non-SSO compliant.

Not sure why. There is definitely demand. maybe its quite hard to actually make it work in this way.
I've said no several times when asked if I'd be interested in management - I like writing code and solving problems, management is only vaguely necessary in some bureaucratic unfortunate way. I would say that that approach to writing software defined my 20s. But in the past few years I've become fascinated by the problem of organization and it's made me appreciate good management so much more - getting more than two people to act in concert is _hard_. Getting 10 or 30 or 1000 of them is so much harder. If I think about it too much I start wondering how anything ever gets done at all, anywhere
pi was abandoned in favor of pi 2
Back in '02 I started a project to create automated digital doubles of anyone. I was a developer working in feature film VFX, and had been doing actor replacements as a specialty. Long story short, by '08 I had an MBA, a global patent on automated actor replacement in filmed media, a team with Academy Awards for VFX, and working feature film quality technology.

However, '08 was the financial meltdown, and at this time nobody had ever heard of automated digital doubles or automated actor replacements, so my efforts to raise financing were met with dismay, disbelief, and ridicule. Demonstrating by creating digital doubles of VCs on the spot, I get accused of fraud. So bizarre. Slowly I manage to get traction with angels, only to have one of them "realize what this could do with porn" and they'd fixate on porn. No amount of debate would convince them that such a company would be a lawsuit engine, be hated by half the human population, and yet have no stable revenue because porn is extremely unstable, as well as filled with flat out criminal personalities. I end up disbanding that angel group and try again. Two more times I manage to get an angel investor team formed, only to have one of them fixate on porn and then all of them follow. The debates I was in felt like arguing with Lucifer.

While traveling through this arena, I met others pursuing actual porn startups. There is investment money there, if one want to have partners like Flint Publications, or Penthouse. They have tech groups, believe it or not.

I was trying to create traditional video and print advertising, but personalized, with you and your family/friends in the ads delivered to you. It is still a viable concept, and I still have working feature film quality technology to create them. However, every time I dip my toes back into this area I encounter irrational pornographic business fantasies, and I just do not want to play that game.

Interesting take, never thought about it like that; it always seemed terribly inefficient to me people are maintaining date libraries in 50 languages.
But I guess you're right it would have been really boring if we only had one way to do things.
New evidence undermines the Covid lab-leak theory
Russians doesn't destroy whole countries and kill millions because they think they know some higher truth about how those people should live their life.

That's the main difference between us and the "collective West".

Also, West is amazingly ignorant. E.g. when people from the West discuss history of Russia, USSR, Georgia, Chechnya, Ukraine, Crimea, it is clear that you don't know a single bit about these places or history or relationships between countries and people here. You just regurgitate typical stereotypes and media lies.

The level of ignorance is so high that there're cases where it is beyond facepalm. E.g. utterances of Jane Psaki about shores of Belarus, or recent declaration in French newspaper that Ukraine invaded Crimea in 2014.

You guys know nothing, absolutely nothing. You live in a bubble created by ignorance, not knowing a single foreign language, inability to consume any information but lies fabricated by your media that belong to 5-6 rich persons that push a single agenda in unison.

Yet you're ready to kill millions based on that misinformation.
Somewhat related: I wrote my own chrome extension that hides the initial page contents of YouTube other than sidebar/search because I found I would go to look something up like a song and a tile would distract me. So yeah now if I want to actually see the YouTube content on first page, have to click in that area. It's interesting they seem to have a DOM-modified check running.

Interesting that feature is part of this nice.
I thought it was thinner than previous version but its not: 10.5 mm (Fairphone 4) vs 9.89 mm (Fairphone 3+)
The notch and smaller border is welcome though.
I tried this and it specifically didn't work for me. I also coudln't find where it was (I was expecting in the privacy > location settings). Eventually found it, but I was surprised at how much I struggled.
Really nice, bravo
Tragedy of the commons is a multi-party prisonner's dilemma, right?

”Tony had the Chapman Stick, which no one had used before”

Serious question: has anyone aside from King Crimson and acolytes used it since? I remember the hype in the 80s music magazines but it never seemed to break out. What happened?
> Yes, but "enabling keyboard navigation" shouldn't mean disabling mouse based navigation

If someone shows me a project for keyboard navigation, I won't complain that there is no mouse navigation, as that would go against the very nature of the project.

> Yes, I will not be using this site. Just giving my feedback and opinion on the UX just like you.

But you're not actually giving any useful feedback on the UX the person has implemented, you're giving feedback towards some UX that doesn't exist and won't exist as it's outside the scope of the project.

It's like someone showing you that they built a car for themselves, and your first comment is "but does it float in the sea?". No, of course it doesn't float, it's not a boat.

How is that useful feedback to this project?
Good doctors don't ask patients what medications they want, they probe about symptoms, context, desired outcomes, etc. I find this a reasonable (not perfect) analogy in my work as a consultant.

I would not be surprised if under certain very specific conditions heart beats couldn't be made to synchronise.

For example doing a dance to music where muscles in the chest might 'nudge' heartbeat phases of otherwise very similar individuals into synchronisation.

It is after all pretty hard to make an oscillator which isn't affected by any environmental effects, and there is no reason to believe nature has managed it, especially when there is no real biological need to.
It surprises me that GaN marketed power supplies cost extra. The actual GaN transistors are under 10 cents now, and by using one you can use a smaller inductor, smaller capacitor and smaller heatsinks. Those smaller components lead to a smaller plastic case and smaller circuit board.

All of those smaller things cost less, so the finished product has lower production costs.
I’m impressed that it works on mobile too. I guess best ux is with a keyboard but still it’s nice to see what it’s about.
You should have given more detail on why this problem is deceptively hard. I am guessing that the simple solution of looking up the word in the dictionary seems to work ok (especially in the context of an artificial competition, which doesn't have to accept uncommon spellings, words in other languages etc), but still breaks down hard because of proper names, which are common in cross-words.

1) OK, but is it your suggestion that it's just uneducated people swept up in a craze who are flooding VAERS with valid-looking reports about e.g., pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, intracranial hemorrhage, and aphasia?

2) I think that's valid, we would expect reports to go up. But Kirsch limited his search to ages 20-60, I think to alleviate one of your concerns. We're seeing e.g. 3000x normal, 1900x normal occurrences even when filtering like that. Does that not seem alarming?
I know lots of people had issues with their FP2, but I have to say I used mine for just under five years (before it stopped booting). I'll give that it didn't always feel reliable (random reboots etc), but it worked well enough.

I bought an FP3 earlier in the year and it's been very decent so far.

But I'm extremely disappointed by the lack of the headphone jack in this new one, and I think I'm going to go write an angry e-mail to them now.
Thank you very much!

Good question. The content part is actually moved left and right using CSS transforms. The sliding animation is just a result of adding a transition for this property.

Hope this helps. Otherwise just ask ;)
Yep thats the normal way. But this can fail on many levels, for instance if the notetaker doesnt understand the problem as well as people talking, they kinda just agree to whatever was written because the thing is still fresh in their mind, then someone who wasnt even there comes to work on the feature a month later and the notes are no good, they need to chase a bunch of people.

Even with a noisy transcript you at least dont loose anything, and everyone can still make notes in an async collaborative way

> stifling peoples comfort to discuss and speak openly

I know some people feel this way, which is why I wouldnt force it on anyone. But I think its a bit silly and they should get over it, were not on the meeting for appearances.

Unrelated, I've been trying to think about a data store that's part of me somehow. I guess we carry our phones with us everywhere but yeah. So it's your data literally on you and accessed when connected wirelessly or by usb.

Have you heard of a flash drive lol.

The thing is this would store like your collective knowledge's/notes you've written over the years and it would be secure.

Related to this for the thought of hybrid mind/brain interface is an ideal part of it. Like thinking to control devices by looking at it.
I am a big GitJournal user. There's a small feature that I'd really like to see. It'd be great if I could set a designated "Inbox" file that would accept the Share Sheet output.

Basically, I'll be on some website and want to save it for later, then hit share and hit GitJournal, but it creates it's own file, rather than going into my Inbox; which clutters up my repo.

A trend I see in tech is product managers who have zero technical experience or knowledge. I find this somewhat odd, and difficult to deal with as a team member. While it doesn't need to be their core competency, I feel like some background knowledge in the tech should almost be a necessity if you want to be leading development.

The stupid thing is that the reverse also happens. I happen to have a random conversation with a business member that is complaining about something ridiculously simple in our system, and that it’s been in the pipeline to fix for months.

My mind boggles, since it’s literally a 5 minute fix, and somewhere over our head some managers have been protecting their little fiefdoms at the expense of this poor guy that does something stupid by hand for an hour every day.

5 minutes later the fix is deployed, and we just saved 200 hours per year of pointless labor.
I think one of the only large companies who has worked this out is Apple. I would love to know how they pulled this off.

The headline is a lie, of course.

The idea is interesting.

If the second derivative of heart beats is linked strongly to media and comprehension then your Fitbit like device can help with learning.

As a startup your data is free. You could see the pattern of comprehension quickly on any media from user data, get the base line and use that to help others.

In reality I'd bet the data is so weak you would not be able to use it for much. They found it statistically better than random. That's not enough to make calls off.
I assume the ‘mysterious communication’ would be the cadence of the reader, which could have been a remarkable feat. Can we influence heart beats externally (indirectly), say with sound, and nudge it into holding a rhythm? The story can increase/relax it, so perhaps individualized broadcasts could theoretically be used to synchronize the beats precisely (in the second sense)?

Doubtful. There is a way to project confidence while acknowledging fundamental uncertainty, I think it's probably more effective and sustainable than outright lying. Being untransparent about difficulty in the long run creates distrust in authority because eventually you accumulate enough fuckups. I think the biggest error in modern leadership practices is confusing certainty for confidence.

Anyways your statement is literally begging the question:

["people want certainty and stability" is] not going to change. Certainty and stability is what people want.
Does anybody have a good equivalent electrical circuit model of the brain as seen by the sensors?
Cost has been the problem with fission. The first nuclear buildout in the US ended because of market forces, not because of TMI. Costs were higher than promised, a constant problem then and now. Electricity demand growth slowed, and with the passage of PURPA in 1978 non-utility sources started to be added to the grid. Nuclear could not compete with them even then.

Nuclear's long term prospects are poor, for one big reason: it has never shown good experience effects. This means its cost has not come down with time. Any technology like that is doomed, if it has competitors that are improving. PV started off orders of magnitude more expensive than nuclear (levelized cost of energy) but now is much cheaper, because PV improved 20% for each doubling of cumulative production and nuclear didn't.

Is the actual goal of de-platforming individuals to punish or silence specific individuals, or is it to suppress remove certain kinds of speech from public discourse?

Does that justify wasting hours upon hours of every employees time per year? Somehow businesses do not look at this kind of thing as ‘a cost of doing business’.
Straightforward length measurement (by interferometry) has a resolution limited by the wavelength of light that can be generated with lasers, so up to the near ultraviolet, at a few hundred nanometers.

Resolution smaller than a wavelength can be achieved with vernier techniques (like in a caliper), but those require a pair of light sources with precise frequency/phase relationships between themselves, which are difficult to make at such high frequencies, so it is hard to improve much the resolution.

I have not looked to see if there have been any progresses in recent years, but I would guess that a very approximate limit for the resolution of length measurement would be around 100 nm. So measuring the length of an 1 meter stick might provide up to log_2(10^7) bits, so about 23 ... 24 bits.

Of course, any temperature fluctuation would change the length of the stick by much more than the resolution.

However that can be avoided by encoding the information not in the absolute length, but in the ratio between the lengths of 2 segments marked on the stick.

No matter what, it is possible to write much more bit symbols on any stick than it is possible to encode in the measurements of one or a few lengths marked on the stick.

That is due to the fact that halving the size of a bit symbol doubles the quantity of information written on the stick, while halving the length corresponding to the measurement resolution provides just 1 single bit of extra stored information.
I agree that there is a difference. But, I do think that the line is not so clear in more than a few instances, and that the business culture in SV has normalized this.

The use of exaggeration, vague, misleading and/or conflicting statements, labels, or depictions can really blur that line.

Determining whether a statement is a lie is not always a straightforward and undisputed process.
I am fairly sure I tried harder than you, just a hunch.

It's a hyper-specified case indeed that a neophyte couches a code snippet in
prose English to better understand it later. He'll go back to that doc as
often as I go back to my high school notes, and he'll find the prose English
incomprehensible (code comments generally only make sense to the author at
the time they were written. Cite a longwinded comment he made a year ago and
ask him to explain it -- he can't).
So does that mean I can expect exponentially more antibodies to have been built up inside me?
