>“The scarcity of our products is not a strategy on our part,” the statement read. “Current production cannot meet the existing demand in an exhaustive way, at least not without reducing the quality of our watches.”

Very smart. Boost the scarcity further by announcing the scarcity and suggest that it is organic. And reinforce the perception of quality by claiming that the scarcity is directly linked to their quality.
I was going by the top of the thread and choosing to assume the rest wasn't just non sequitor. I don't actually see all resources in GNU/Linux (for instance) available for me to mount remotely into my namespace via a uniform protocol.
I'd be interested in reading about the changes as Strava expanded. I imagine they see a lot more casual recreational use as the viral growth moved beyond the club riders/runners, but I'd also expect you see performance increase as they captured more top performers too. Did the performance distribution grow evenly? Do people shift their routes towards segments with accessible leaderboards? …

On cheating: I used to moan about Strava accepting car and train journey speeds when it felt obvious how to detect some of them, but I can't even begin to imagine how to automate detection in the era of e-bikes. People must spend a lot more time flagging rides to maintain their magic internet points trophy now ;)
I’ve been at executive level for a decade or so and am honestly not surprised at all.

1) their main job is “be strategic” and as such they throw out all kinds of horrible ideas to improve the normal business metrics / profitability. In healthcare, I hear things that clearly and obviously would worsen patient care and the line “let’s run that by Clinical” essentially means I really doubt that idea deserves consideration.

2) they’ve been hit with a multitude of problems. Rising wages is certainly the hottest topic since they were furloughing people in 2020. They begrudgingly raised menu prices. It continues to puzzle them where all the labor went?

3) as much as I hate to admit it, there might be some truth to the point he’s making regarding gas prices. I’d never put that in writing, but it happens and is rather normalized behavior.
Yeah it seems like an excuse to do the project. X-rays aren't all that expensive, usually under $100. Maybe with a reading by a radiologist it can go into the hundreds

> I am an amateur photographer, and I can't understand why the major camera brands (Canon, Nikon, Sony, Fuji, etc.) aren't open at least to the concept of SDK's to control their cameras (let alone opening the lens mount specifications)...

At least Canon and Nikon do.

I use the Canon and Nikon SDKs in a product for work, and there are plenty of third party applications which allow control of their cameras.

They might not officially offer support for them, but they do keep them updated for new cameras and I have had bugs fixed and questions answered.

There are open source projects using these SDKs - See NINA [0] as just one example.

If only the python devs had a similar attitude.
Because we have inefficiencies that are baked into the status quo. Insurers, for example, provide little value to health outcomes. Their purpose is purely financial, and there are much more simple ways to shift that money around that requires less administrative overhead, and allows prices to be set by better methods than threats by insurers, which is basically how they're set now.
I have to agree here. Nothing would be better than giving Google control of 95% of the browser marketshare instead of the current 76%. It's not like they have abused their current position or anything.
why are they preferred over the big bag of "normal" carrots at costco?
Nothing stops a local government, to my knowledge, or a state government from raising minimum wage for the unique conditions their locale faces and the ideals they want to reflect. People too often think about federal minimum wage, but think about how diverse the environments are that federal minimum wage affects. If you live in a city/state where the minimum wage is lower than you think it should be, you'll probably have better luck changing local conditions rather than trying to boil the ocean that is the US with 350m people and an enormous landmass consisting of the densely urban and sparsely rural, the rich coastlines and wealthy mountain resorts to the impoverished hill countries.

So if your Chotchkies franchise is in the middle of a wasteland where nobody can walk, bike, or take the bus to work, and then gas prices go up, doesn't that mean people need, y'know, more money? Won't they be looking for higher wages? Paying less just makes other employers look better and positions you to capture exactly zero of the supposed new growth in the applicant pool. Even not working at all (i.e. not driving to a job) gains a few preference points compared to working at your Flingers. Seems like when they were handing out brains, this guy thought they said trains and said "gimme a slow one."
This local franchise executive is an economist?

From reading the full email it seems like just one sentence lacked tact, only maybe inaccurate, and the rest was .... decent management? Like the part about making schedules for employees further in advance so they could accomodate their other jobs? That's pretty good.

The part about what employment trends will look like due to gas prices and competing employers having to shut down? Is that inaccurate?

Mentioning directly to offer lower wages, didn't have to be mentioned... that way.

Do I like that the managers walked out over that? Absolutely
"As if they are inferior because they don't speak English" is a pretty cheap shot; cows eat grass, what reason do they have for deep intelligence and thoughts, why would you expect a-priori that they must have such? It's sometimes suggested that human intelligence rose quite quickly from trying to outwit other humans; do cows try to outwit each other and slaughter other cow tribes to take control of their fields?

Another point is, other animals do dumb things - like videos of ducks walking over drains and the ducklings fall down the drain, or creature stuck in plastic sheet until it dies. Or creature does nothing while humans approach, kill, and eat it. It's hard to see examples like that and think "deep intelligence".

Emotions, yes - a lot of fear, pain, excitement, skittishness, visible in a lot of animal behviours. But examples of planning ahead, cooperation, tool using, they're so rare they make headlines like this article when observed.

I have built a small signing service that works by a user SSHing in, performing LDAP (password) authentication and 2FA with duo, then injecting a time-limited certificate signed by Hashicorp Vault back to their user agent (although it could be modified to remove the Vault requirement). The UX is very simple (SSH to this address once per day), but the backend is complicated, so if there is any demand for me to put this on Github I am happy to do so.

This means the workers at applebees don't have much leverage to demand higher wages. Their options are accept a shitty job or don't work. This manager believes higher gas prices will force them to shift towards the "accept a shitty job" part of the spectrum.

The colors are user-configurable, and we make first-party tools like browser plugins, [1] PDF converters, [2] and iOS apps. [3] We also partner with reading and education platforms like Blackboard [4], who have embedded our tech in their products.

Maybe, maybe not. There's a larger variety of business model behind record labels than what people usually mean when they refer to record labels.

They're not all middlemen trying to take a cut out of artists. Those exist, and artists have always railed against the model... and then start their own label.

Labels are mainly a house for all of the logistics behind an artist. No artist wants to spend 90% of their time marketing, merchandizing, booking, etc, etc, etc. They want to create and perform. The label is supposed to enable that. As long as the label does so, then it's worth it. Plus it's a great way to work with your less musical friends. Corporate isn't the only option.

I would happily pay a subscription for an iOS app. The usual argument against this is being commodified, but for the vast majority of the market, Canon has already been commodified in the shape of Apple and Samsung phones. They have to compete now on how good their hardware is, but their "stupid" hardware doesn't cut it without smart software. Their time in the broader marketplace is gone. They can get a small amount of marketshare back if they can make their hardware work with iPhones and Galaxies. Possibly just iPhones.

I've got the cash for a great canon camera. I used to carry one around with me all the time. The size isn't what's stopping me. It's the UX.

This is absurd. A binary reviewed and vetted by a Linux distro is really unlike to contain spyware, unlike 90% of webpages. The web a well-known security dumpster fire.

Additionally, it's false that desktop applications are not sandboxed. On the contrary, the sandbox implemented around an application can be way more fine-grained that a browser. Firejail is a good example.

Browsers are behemoths and you can look up for yourself how many vulnerabilities they have and also the SLOC count.

I've had the same public email address since 1995. I get a ton of spam in my raw emails.

The only approach I've found helpful is to use a white/grey/blacklist system: known good are whitelisted, known bad are blacklisted, and you have to manually review the greylist emails. With the usual "this looks like spam" filter, I found I was missing a lot of real mail in the mountains of junk: the ML/algorithmic spam detection just got overwhelmed by the diversity of what I receive to the point it was much less useful.

I was thinking about incentives around cost of care.

KP could switch from Epic to an alternative if it enables deep learning that reduces costs in the long run. Reducing costs is aligned with KP’s incentives because they are not only the provider but also the payer for medical care. This is different from most medical providers which OP suggests have an incentive to be “cost maximizers” to increase reimbursements from payers.
>I wonder what the USA would look like if minimum wage was defined as; two people being able to afford a 1 bedroom apartment within a 1 hour drive without traffic.

A lot of stuff would be automated or simply not exist. I don't see how high minimum wage can "work" to solve social issues if companies can choose between not hiring people and paying a high minimum wage.
If I were King of America, the tax code (and other financial instruments I can't think up on the spot) would reward companies based on the degree to which they enrich their rank and file employees.
Probably, yes. A warehouse is basically just a costco that you aren't willing to sell things out of. Why wouldn't you just make a new location?
> Every location has to have a custom minimum wage

I think the federal structure of the USA lends itself nicely to that problem.

There would be an issue in extremely heterogeneous states like Washington or California, where the big cities on the coast are known for being expensive while the interior is often cheaper, less desirable and subject to snobbery, as in the case of Bakersfield which I have never heard anything good about.
It's not even that a software project can't (or shouldn't) have political causes that it supports.

Your point is super important, but fortunately there is actually a lot of research and debate on this topic. The most common misconception is that it's enough to talk about the absolute total length of cyclable paths, but I simple to understand that's not the best metric to compare cities.

I'm the designer and developer of CicloMapa [1], one of the tools presented in the video. The project is a partnership with ITDP, which is an international organization that created and constantly measures a metric called People Near Bike (PNB) [2]. In summary takes into account if the infrastructure is really serving people that live nearby.

Another metric we use, at least for some brazilian cities, is IDECICLO [3], which analyses the quality of the existing infrastructure in terms of access, comfort, safety etc. It's a very holistic metrics, but compared to PnB is way more complex to measure and more prone to subjectivity.
