It depends. If you don't have any problems with RSI or other similar conditions I would recommend against switching layouts, as there has never been conclusive studies to demonstrate that any other layout is faster for typing than QWERTY and transitioning takes a significant amount of time. If you do have issues with QWERTY I would first recommend an ergonomic keyboard (particularly a split board with as many adjustments as necessary), and if that fails then another layout may be necessary. Anecdotally a lot of people have benefited from switching layouts, but usually it's more hassle than it's worth.

Water at 40m depth has a different pressure than at the surface level. Pumping at the surface and releasing at depth will have significant water pressure difference.

(A quick Google later). At 40m, it's 5atm or roughly 75psi pressure.

(Another quick Google). Oil pipelines run at a higher order of magnitude as that, so it's doable but would return energy, increasing as you go deeper.
This looks like a wonderful tool, but I would be hesitant to use it solely because I'm sure Calendly's IP lawyers will try to shut you down for the name. (It's similar enough that I mistook the HN post for Calendly several times.)
> And yet, industrialized countries fall below replacement level and world population plateaus.

Yes. Reproductive rates vary over time and due to environmental conditions.

See Calhoun's Mouse Utopia Experiments for an extreme example of this. (Though simplistic applicability of this to human society, in the ways that have been done in the past, should probably be discouraged.)

> Also your quote is blatantly false. Consider bees. The queen produces offspring literally to build her hive and feed her young.

Other animals act in collective ways. Yes. But it's not talking of collectivism in terms of bees, ants, or wolf packs.

So far as I understand the quote, or the sentiment, it refers to the seeming fact that bees, ants, wolfs, etc, reproduce as a series of drives that function to that end without them needing to be cognizant of that end. Whereas humans, in addition to the compulsive drives of pleasure, etc, require justification. A queen bee does not concern itself (so far as we understand the mental processes of other animals) with prospects a billion years from now. A queen bee doesn't have to justify that more bees are good. Eggs are just cared for, fertilized, hatched in relation to the functioning of the hive and the processes which occur to regulate such. The seeming distinction with human beings is that the course of evolution has perhaps instilled them/us with a sort of, if not a 'meta drive', then a drive to override other aspects of our evolved intelligence which might undermine reproduction. In short, humans don't just 'get horny', they/we also have to 'get religion[1]'. Other animals (again, so far as we are aware, which is admittedly not very far sometimes) don't seem to require any justification on top of 'the mating dance makes me horny', they just 'do it'.

[1] This, of course, should be considered in terms of ideology broadly, rather than just religion specifically. (In addition, I would also contend here that ideology is not an external addition, but a fundamental of human psychology, and to paraphrase Zizek 'the most thoroughly ideological environment is the post-ideological one.'

This is so alien to me. Why don’t you sell the place? Staying the owner of this place makes it so that you can’t spend your money tied up in this house, and this house can’t provide its roof to someone. Seems like both of you loose.

That's rather unintuitive, and counter to the way almost all modern games do it. If your goal is to lean into the familiarity of the gaming world to teach people programming, you might want to either change that or make it more much more explicit.
Yep, that's right. There's almost very little you can do directly to foster these communities, except to make your product delightful to use, and to add these wonderful experiences throughout your product, that makes ppl want to recommend it.
Problem with shortcuts is much deeper if you have more than one layout (say, English and Russian).

It is problem both for MacOS and Windows, my examples will be for Windows, but MacOS has exactly the same problem.

Imagine, you have two keyboard layouts installed: English (standard one, QWERTY) and Russian (standard one, ЙЦУКЕН, but it doesn't matter).

Typical shortcut for "Open File" is Ctrl+O (O is English O). This key in QWERTY is on top row, on the right part of keyboard. Russian layout has letter Щ on same key. You can press Ctrl+O when English layout is active or you can press Ctrl+Щ when Russian layout is active, it will work the same: activate Ctrl+O shortcut, and shows you "Open File" dialog.

Now Imagine you have combination of English Dvorak layout and same Russian ЙЦУКЕН layout.

Open File shortcut now uses DIFFERENT KEYS in DIFFERENT LAYOUTS. When Dvorak is active you need to press Ctrl+O, where "O" is in the middle row, on the left. This key is Russian "Ы" in ЙЦУКЕН layout. Sounds good so far. But when Russian layout is active you need to press... Can you guess? No, not Ctrl+Ы (where Russian "Ы" in ЙЦУКЕН is same key as English "O" in Dvorak), but Ctrl+Щ, as if your English layout is still QWERTY.

It is sick. It makes using shortcuts almost impossible - shortcuts become dependent on current active language!

And what is worse, some programs (Google Docs is one example) refuse to use Ctrl+Ins/Shift+Ins and requires Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V for clipboard operations.
It’s 6 or 8 digits because it’s an oath totp or hotp, it’s quite a standard. At least they don’t reinvent the wheel, even those that seem proprietary use a standard algo underneath.

Example: Duo security uses a 6 digit hotp.
This will sound counter-intuitive, but calling individuals to ask for small favours is a good way to build rapport and to learn more about your colleagues. Most people are very happy to help out the new guy, and asking a small favour is a good pretext for starting broader conversations about the topic they're an expert in or, even better, are passionate about.

For example: "Hey John, I'm spangry and I just started this week in team foo. So and so tells me that you're the resident expert on x. I'm planning to do some work related to x and figured, given I'm new and all, I should talk to you before starting. Have you got a moment to talk about x?" Then ask your favour and they will likely oblige. After you've thanked them, that's your opportunity to launch into a more general conversation where you show interest in their background or subject of interest (e.g. 'So how long have you been at [company] for? Got any tips for a new starter?' or 'I did a little research on x before calling and read that y is a big issue at the moment. Just curious, what's your take on y issue?')

It goes without saying that being genuinely interested and curious about them helps greatly. I think the above works because (1) most people want to help, and they remember what it was like to be new (2) it's respectful, even flattering, that you're coming to them for their expertise and (3) broadening the conversation (but still keeping it on safe ground) generates additional conversation paths and further opportunities for building rapport.

Lastly, asking for small favours (which are obliged) may actually make people like you more as a post-hoc rationalisation for why they did you the favour (this is known as the Ben Franklin effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Franklin_effect).
Cites are not fungible, I hate that this always comes up. I have relationships here going back to my childhood, I sometimes visit the grave of the person I am named for, I spend every sunday afternoon cooking and eating with the 97-year-old who took me in and nursed me back to health decades ago. If I move to another city these things aren't coming with.

Now you can dismiss these things as inherently less meaningful than, and therefore rightly subjected to, the economic desires of asset holders. That's a much more radical position than I think you're wanting to take here though. When you say or imply people facing unaffordable housing can just move somewhere else, this is a position you're endorsing.

The analogy doesn't have to cover every nuance of the situation to be valuable. A necessity of life has become a competitive investment vehicle, and the people most hurt by this are told that it is good and correct and they should accept it by wildly upending their lives for no personal benefit.

Why would anyone trust Zillow’s opinions over anyone else’s opinion? Everyone has access to the same historical sales data that the market actually cleared at. In fact, it is has never been easier for the average person to research historical sales information. They can filter the parameters of the house they are interested in the area they are interested and find all the previous sales data, all while sitting on the toilet, thanks to websites like Redfin and Zillow.

They can “lie” all they want, it makes no difference to what price a house sells for.

I haven't liked FF in a very long time. But I used to love it.

> I'll gladly run an alternative browser so the web doesn't end up stagnating like it did before.

The only thing actually stopping Google from completely owning the Web is Apple's mandating Safari's engine for all browsers on iOS. Firefox has been floundering for too long (a decade? More?) and no longer matters much, aside from providing some kind of value to Google. Microsoft's probably maneuvering to open a second front on that, despite using Google's engine now, unless they decide to team up with Google to go after Apple. FF has been an also-ran for years.

This is a fairly standard reframing when your product has lower TCO but higher upfront costs.

If people just look at the upfront cost, they have that 2x or 3x gut reaction and just switch off.

Some nerdier types might draw up a spreadsheet and know exactly how many months they'd expect to break even and start saving.

People familiar with spreadsheets probably also don't have that much trouble getting loans and paying them back on time, and doing even more sums to see if that makes financial sense.

But your average school bus buyer perhaps needs someone else to do all that for them, hedge the risk and present it to them as an immediate saving on their monthly spend.

It can happen because new homes are more expensive. People prefer new and will pay more. That raises the average price which raises prices on the existing supply.
The strength of "Be You" was specifically for the OP. Being Them has worked so far- so keep doing it. As general advice, I also find it spot on, though. We can never be what we aren't. If you want to improve yourself, do that. But never try to be something you aren't. You're only lying to yourself and others. Instead, become what you wish you were, then the projection you're giving is authentic.
I think product-led is not simply ensuring you have product-market fit, or whether you're satisfying the needs of users. It goes further than that. It's to ensure every step/detail of your product is built to encourage people to want to recommend it, or talk about it. Every small detail, from the cute mascot you might use in your logo, to features that help people express their identity, or feel good about themselves. Of course, it varies from product to product.

The market is filled with tons of products that fulfills the needs of users. But very few of them have a community of enthusiastic users that want to recommend it to others.

Of the title seems pretty inflammatory here. I'm a G Suite legacy user and while I have appreciated the free ride for the many years I had no illusions that it would continue forever.

The one thing it does allow me to do is consider whether I believe that their regular service is worth paying for or not. They do provide a nice suite of services but so does o365 and other places.

Really to Google the only thing I have to say is thank you for the free ride that you've given me for so long. I really appreciate it and I'm not going to complain in the slightest of that you've decided you don't want to offer the free service anymore.

Agree up to a point. When I see "37 x about y" I keep scrolling. It has to be a reasonable number of items.

I love lists for emails - whenever I write an email that mentions more than one point I put everything in numbered paragraphs. Sometimes I also do 1) 2) 3) for information and a) b) c) for questions that refer back to the numbered list. Makes it a lot easier for followups to stay on track.

> Its Siemens, Bosch and Miele, but mainly Bosch which doesn't command Miele's high price and reliability/features are OK for us.

From my experience, you can't go wrong with either of those - and, just in case you didn't know already, Siemens and Bosch are basically one - even operating under "BSH", Bosch/Siemens Home Appliances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSH_Hausger%C3%A4te

That also means that each company basically has their own version of each product - i.e. the same fridge with slightly different features (different tray combinations/heights/...) are available from both (varying model # of course) - and one may be even a little cheaper than the other...
I guess you're probably right. But it seems like we're looking at a small factor (2-3) applied to the usual price of a school bus. Of course, there are also reasons it might not be a ripoff, as others brought up (lower ops costs, economy of scale). I just felt like highlighting the problems with prioritizing price over all else around the health of primary schoolchildren.
I think communities (wherever they are), end up reflecting on the products/software. If you're a software company not actively working to manage and provide value to the community (whether in your platforms or elsewhere), those communities still reflect on the company. So probably best to actively work to maintain and provide value to them.

IMO search has had its goalpost moved. It used to be about scale, technical challenges, bandwidth, storage, etc. It is still about that, but a significantly harder challenge to solve has come up: searching in a malicious environment. SEO crap nowadays completely dominates search, Google has lost the war.

Simply put, I believe that Google sucks at search, in the modern context. It is great at indexing, it has solved phenomenal technical challenges, but search it has not solved. Why do I have to write site:stackoverflow.com or site:reddit.com to skip the crap and go to actual content? Why can my brain detect blogspam garbage in 0.5 seconds of looking but billion dollar company Google will happily recommend it as the most relevant result above a legitimate website?

I disagree. My experience is limited to regulators, not judges, but Europe tends to be much more focused on the spirit of the law compared to America's focus on the letter of the law. The law can (and should!) be flexible. Legislation cannot possibly conceive of every possible fact pattern that might emerge. It's an unrealistic expectation and it would be a waste of effort to try to draft laws that way because they’d either be so specific they'd never apply or they'd be so broadly vague that they'd apply to everyone.
