Pen and paper.

There’s nothing better than just a piece of paper. It’s responsive, suits every pocket, supports text, drawings, graphs and doesn’t get destroyed when it touches coffee. Also there is a psychologically effect: Turning away from the computer and checking a task using a pen gives you the feeling of having something finally completed/done.

I tried to digitalize it so often using Todoist, Wunderlist, MS Tasks, recently release MS Lists aaaand so on. But nothing really suits all the needs. And relying on many tools for task management will burn you out.

I recently bought some PuR water filters from Walmart. I had previously purchased the same product from Amazon. The ones from Walmart lack the rubber gaskets found on the ones I purchased from Amazon. I can only assume it's one of their famous cost cutting measures. Same retail price.
Trains are very comfortable to travel in as well imho. Better than planes, because no airport hassles and the seats are better, and you can move around if the baby next to you is crying; better than buses because a smoother ride; and better than driving yourself because you can relax and read a book.
To me the fact that these types of scams are fairly routine means that you can't sign any kind of medium or long term contract without actually working with the person for a short term first. Start with authorizing an hour of work, then a day.

I actually think this type of thing is another reason to completely avoid fixed fee contracts.

Reduce in favor of what though?

I have also been trying to diversify where I buy stuff. It's difficult. Some things you can only find in other giant chains like WalMart. I did diversify a number of my larger purchases, but I'm not sure the likes of WalMart or Best Buy are actually any less dystopian. I heard Costco treats its employees pretty well, but there aren't that many things you can buy there.

Also, to get Amazon to reconsider its ways of doing business, people need to get off AWS. That's the real money maker for them, and therefore the only real leverage. But again, in favor of what? Google? I'm not sure it's any better ethically in the light of recent revelations. Microsoft? Massive technological suckage and ineptitude, and also dubious ethics. Smaller players like Digital Ocean? Viable for some things, but not for others. Sounds to me like we're out of options.

Seems odd to not deliver a fully assembled aircraft. Is there any regulatory reason? If cost is an issue, they could probably charge extra (such as $110K total) and deliver it fully assembled.
I think the bigger offense with the displays isn't the ads (the subway is already plastered with them, and the new screens will pay for themselves in that manner) but how remarkably crappy the panels are.

I have corrective lenses that give me normal vision, and I have to really squint to make out station names and bullets on the digitized system maps that the panels display. I feel terrible for anyone whose vision is even slightly worse than mine, much less tourists who have enough trouble with the printed maps.

> Well naive signed integer subtraction can be UB as well.

Sure, but the point is that you have to get overflow due to high magnitude of the involved integers. So yeah INT_MAX - -INT_MAX is UB, but you have to have quantities up around INT_MAX for this to be a problem. For the unsigned case you just have to have quantities around 0.

Now, having quantities around INT_MAX isn't necessarily that unusual, but what seals the deal for me (I wrote that SO answer) is that 64-bit values are becoming more ubiquitous, and there we can guarantee in some sense that many quantities won't reach their 2^63 limits any time soon. So I definitely thing "signed by default" is much more of a slam dunk if it is paired with "64-bit by default".

Note that though I'm a proponent of signed by default, in practice I find it hard to write this way in C and C++ because you are constantly fighting the impedance mismatch between the language, size_t, size(), etc and your own rule. So signed by default is definitely more palatable in languages which made that same decision for their builtins and standard library.

A classic case of "done is better than perfect".
Let's say I post the following on a forum:

"X is a rapist." (Where X is a private figure for simplification.)

The nuance is as follows:

A) Under Cubby without proactive moderation.

The website is not liable for the above speech. All the website needs to do is remove the offending speech once it is made aware of its defamatory nature, maybe via a court order.

B) Under Stratton with proactive moderation.

The website is making an effort to determine the truthfulness of content. As such, letting a defamatory post go through subjects the website to liability.

C) Under CDA 230.

As per YouTube, "Because we are not in a position to adjudicate the truthfulness of postings, we do not remove video postings due to allegations of defamation." [1]

Option C is the worst. It is akin to letting an oil company pick and choose which spills are worth cleaning up. Websites can remove things they think are defamatory to certain people and leave up other things that are defamatory to others with no repercussions.

Ideally, we would live in a world governed by A and B. In that world, sites could choose between moderation and no moderation and the corresponding legal and financial burdens. What we have right now is a mess that works to the advantage of Big Tech.

> I still don't get how in the hell could personalized ads be more profitable.

It's because it creates a new profitable business model for BigTech.

Personalized ads require that the network collect as much data about you as possible. The idea is to use this data by trying to create some behaviour model to determine how and when a user purchases stuff. (Currently this doesn't really work as advertised, as you guessed).

But the US government, with PRISM, created a new revenue stream for BigTech - buying the raw data of the users directly. As with any government contract, this is actually way more profitable than serving ads to cheapskate internet users. Seeing how easily and successfully BigTech is able to get this data, the US has effectively decided to privatise spying (partially) to the BigTech. To sabotage the creation of regulation and privacy laws that may prevent such data harvesting, and to create an even more profitable market for the BigTech, they have also started to rope in other countries too. (See Five Eyes (FVEY) - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five_Eyes ).

On the plus side, the interviews were a breeze due to the depth I had built up on the tech side in my startup, and I had instant street-cred every time I talked to new coworkers.

Experience as a founder was very valuable due to the much bigger picture that I could see most of the time and easily switch my thinking hats from tech to product to business, and add value to most discussions, even with executives.

Css classes will complicate the css it can for example become hard to see what takes precedence when you mix classes and element. And it doesnt help that CSS is also has significant white space as in .foo.bar vs .foo .bar

So by practicing withot classes you will find that classes are rarely needed and in turn all your CSS get more simple - as long as you understand specifically. And you will also start to appreciate semantic HTML, and hopefully replace some of the divs with the appropriate semantic element!

Inflation in India is close to 15%(every thing added). If you are a rich person sitting on a fortune you have to invest and spend it. If you are worth 3 digit crores, you are losing 2 digit crores an year, if you are 4 digit crores you are losing 3 digit crores an year.

What this means is you need to keep investing money to even stay afloat, hence the VC investment madness.

India has seen this trends in the past too. And it doesn't end well. When businesses don't make profits the employees suffer. Loans are defaulted, homes are lost and careers are set back by decades. I call this job tourism.

I've been there and been through this several times. In the early 90s I remember it was considered a windfall period for managerial talent in India. When ABCL(Amitabh Bachchan Corporation Limited) collapsed it unleashed hell on people. Dot com burst, 2008 crash. It all starts with crazy salaries and ends in tears. In 2008 I personally remember filtering out resumes of people whom we called 'job hoppers'. Have a frequent jump trial on your resume? Congrats a lay off now means you will be job less for 2+ years. Even when you do get a job after that time, it's not like they'll be offering 500% hike on the market standards. If you don't show the jumps on the resume first question we'd ask is 'Can you explain the gap in your resume'.

You want to be higher. Altitude gives you more time in an emergency (like waiting for that chute to deploy). Once you’re above the altitude that will kill you on impact, more altitude won’t make you more dead. Also, wires are at low altitude, and are responsible for many rotorcraft accidents.
