This is exactly what I do at my SaaS platform. The "Welcome" email explains that you can do the click-here-and-do-yourself approach to onboarding or if you need help or have a question, just reply to the email.

My take on it has been that it might have been fine as it was if it was considered a new plane. Just not software patched modified-737 that it really wasn't. If the pilots were certified with the new characteristic and there wasn't system over riding them, it would have been fine.

But instead they wanted to handle like something it wasn't and then made buggy fix for it to do so.

> IT distributed sticker packs with all the french chars on them after the inspection

They had to. It's either "Product maker has to provide you the French labels, or if they don't, print your own". Literally. I remember a certain VoIP desk phone company shipping us "universal" labels with graphic symbols, that was considered acceptable by the OQLF since there were no english words.

IT has generally a bad opinion on OQLF precisely because of these kind of ridiculous requests they have to comply to.

I think you have a baked in assumption that hiring is fair. Because you might think that when interacting with clients it makes sense to hire based on looks or at least implicitly it sounds like that's what you're thinking.

Same. I have both an iPhone and a MacBook as well, but with the Pencil, I just want to do everything on the iPad.

I think for me it helped me to see how often when I was thirsty I might actually eat a snack.

From there, it's also valuable because it's clear that in the past I might have a dehydration headache, eat something, and still have a headache because I was thirsty. By just incorporating a routine and simple 1 click tracking, that consistency has helped me to easily manage this. But as you said, for you it works "naturally". For me, I was pretty out of tune with that.
100% agree with you. I own the drone, flew it like 10 times. The main reason, when I bring it with me on road trips - if I see people around, I don't feel comfortable spinning the motors.

Apple has officially launched its Self Service Repair program
I tried using Rocket last year for a mortgage and had a similar experience, aside from starting with a helpful employee. The folks I tried to work with were unresponsive and extremely unhelpful.

One thing that blew my mind was how terrible most mortgage companies I contacted are. I lost count of how many places I contacted that were slow and unhelpful about everything, and it kind of blew my mind. I was reaching out to companies offering them thousands of dollars in business and the usual response was "meh". There must be some pretty large moats in this industry because most shops are clearly not competing on competence or customer service.
> Who is in charge of the iPad division at Apple

Apple isn't organized by product like other large tech companies, instead it's organized by function. E.g. no divisions like iPad, Mac, iPhone. It's divisions like hardware, software, RF, etc. Each division works on all products.
The most compelling use case I've seen yet for the iPad is for regular people who don't want a desktop or laptop computer, but don't want to do everything on their phone. The iPad is just a really big smartphone that with a folio keyboard can become an impromptu laptop if needed. In my extended family I have a few people who are using it for this exact use case and love it. Only one of them even has the keyboard, and all of them do everything on their iPad they'd otherwise use a 'real' computer for.

Yea, what if one could instantly switch between macos and ios?

Imagine having a super powerful ipad pro running mac os for your work stuff, and when you are lying on the couch you detach the keyboard and any external monitors and switch to the more touch friendly ios.

I think that would be a much better approach than to try to merge the 2 OSes into one hybrid OS that can do neither this nor that very well.

Why is the secrecy required if the patent is going to end up public anyway? If you could pre-publish to the public (with a verifiable timestamp) then anyone could submit a challenge and the patent would be only be granted if it’s actually novel and remains unchallenged for some time.

1.5t of TNT certainly has enough energy to vaporize 1.5t of TNT. And, as they say, "then some".

2000 kg of aluminum costs, what, 1/4 billion joules to vaporize? I get 6.25 billion joules of impact energy, not trillion, but still plenty. I am corrected.

You can move a fair bit of material out of the way with that many joules. I guess you would start by vaporizing the 2t of Al plus another several tons of rock, and then dissipate the heat by lofting stuff out of the way as it expands, recycling the heat energy back to kinetic as it cools.
You're right, it does look like Canadian salaries are a bit lower than in most of the US -- though not that much lower. (Nationwide averages are wildly skewed by Silicon Valley, but for example entry-level engineering jobs in Chicago pay less than in Montreal.) (Yes, I remembered to convert the currency ;)

I can speak directly to "Central America has the language barrier but good devs are likely to have good English" -- my org recently acquired a small company in Brazil, and we've been trying to integrate the engineering teams. They're great guys, very skilled, and they have conversational English -- certainly better than my Portuguese! But it's still a huge, huge communication barrier that drains a whole lot of time and requires a whole lot of extra effort on both sides.

(Was there a one-time cost savings from acquiring a Brazilian company instead of a comparable US one? Probably. I wasn't privy to that deal. And are their salaries lower than those of their co-workers in the US? Yes, a bit. But I can say for certain that the delays and miscommunications caused by the language barrier are expensive -- and we're shorter on time than we are on money.

> They are looking for talented engineers and willing to pay them well, but still far below what they would pay for a similar talent in the US

If you substitute "Silicon Valley" instead of "the US" in that sentence, I'd wholeheartedly agree with you. "Outsourcing" to Ohio or Albany or, well, most of the US is a real cost savings compared to SV or a couple of other high-dollar metro areas, without most of the problems you get from going international.

The heading is somewhat misleading, in that one might read it as "the troll lost all rights to any patents, ever." If you (correctly) didn't read it that way, you can ignore the rest of this.

What they actually lost is that patent. It was reexamined and all its claims were cancelled. Reexamination is a standard tactic against a patent infringement suit, and we did it all the time at Google. A reexamination is a mini-trial, with no jury; just a bunch of patent law experts. It costs less than a full trial but still can be $500,000 or so.

A troll will offer to settle for a small amount rather than risk getting their patent cancelled. I think it's fair to call it "irresponsible" if you pay them that ransom, but of course, it's cheaper for you that way.
I find that turning on Airplane Mode overnight substantially extends my battery life, perhaps from 3 to 5 days. It also prevents me from being awakened by notifications, which seem to come through regardless of DND mode on my iPhone. It's also easy to trigger: just hold the left side button for a couple seconds.

I would pay $75 for someone to replace the battery in my Pebble and maintain water resistance. I don't trust myself to do it, but eventually I may try. My current fallback plan is a Fossil hybrid smartwatch, which is nicer looking, but has a worse UI/UX.

It's your interpretation that Disney should never have had those rights. The state of Florida clearly strongly disagrees with you, given that they have granted the same/similar rights to thousands of entities over more than 200 years (yes, before Florida was even a state). 1800 different active entities currently have special district rights in Florida.

I think debating whether special districts should be allowed at all would be a good discussion to have, but it is completely separate from whether what the government did in passing SB-4C is a violation of Disney's (and possibly the Orange and Osceola county taxpayers') first amendment rights.

this entire far-too-long discussion I’ve participated in stemmed from the notion that blockchain’s goals are already better solved by existing solutions. I asked for any that solves peer-to-peer decentralized escrow of a digital asset like a domain name; so far the primary response have been “you don’t need to do that since you can trust [centralized company].”

The study is kind of weird, because that's simply not how things are conducted during hiring: nobody puts their picture on their resume.

I think some other countries do, but the norms are decidedly against that in the USA, probably to avoid biases like this.
I agree that land has to some extent been widely redistributed in the United States because of the frontier, which continued to exist and distribute land ownership up until the 1880s. However, since the frontier died, land ownership distribution has stayed more or less the same. Compare the coasts to England, where land mobility is even more limited because the frontier died even longer ago. What Georgism and a Land Value Tax would do is to re-create the frontier at the margin of production, where land is free and there is no tax to be paid, but the land itself is still workable without profit. Recreating the frontier would re-introduce land mobility and make land more liquid, while also countering NIMBY desires to keep their land and neighborhoods the way they were fifty or a hundred years ago.

Companies are arguably not very widely distributed. The stock market is ownership of companies by those who do not work for it, so the distance between the worker and the owner is still greater than in small businesses, family businesses, worker cooperatives, or even traditional corporations with Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Trust-busting is one way to decrease that distance, although true anti-monopoly policies like a land-value tax or a tax on intellectual property enforcement would truly remove the privileges these big companies have and allow smaller ones to truly compete.
IME it depends on the hiring funnel.

It does not matter if you are interviewing for an opening which has been set aside for you. (Niche skills, nepotism, former colleagues, etc.)

It does matter if you are going for a fungible position with many applicants. Not a lot, but people are biased to hire others who they think they'd enjoy spending time around.

That bias helps attractive people, as well as people who look and act like part of an org's "in-group" (if one exists). It's ugly and gross, but it seems pretty fundamental to human nature.
In general adding heat to the earth doesn’t really matter, because it’s constantly radiating to space.
The sun shines adding a ton of heat all the time, and the same amount radiates out. Running some more power plants isn’t going to compete with the amount of energy we’re getting from the sun.

The problem comes if you add an insulator (greenhouse gas) that raises the equilibrium temperature.
Not sure which but they do have quite a few.

This is a terrible report for a company of the size and in the leading retail position that Amazon is.

It bodes very poorly for earnings reports from second-tier consumer products companies and distributors.
This specific attack is not possible against SHA-1 (yet).

The known collision weakness only allows generating two colliding pieces ahead of time with a hash value that you don't control. It does not give you ability to collide with a pre-existing file/pre-existing hash, so you can't attack any existing SHA-1-verified file. You can only attack files that you've specifically crafted/tricked to contain your colliding block.
Ah, that makes a lot of sense. So the monthly payments are still affordable, and people mostly avoid the balloon-like payments by refinancing.

The downside (for the borrower, anyway), of course, is that if you do live in the same house long-term, you'll have more-frequent forced refinancing events that might result in an unfavorable interest rate. But that otherwise seems pretty reasonable, and arguably (as the article you linked points out), the ability to "lock" your interest rate for such a long time isn't great for the market.
To be harsh, one could probably argue that no one as brilliant as Gowers, and with his expertise in the domain, has worked on this in the past.
