Resume/CV: upon request, see my website at https://www.iancollmceachern.com
Email: ian@iancollmceachern.com

I have been designing medical devices and other mission-critical products for 20 years. I have a deep skillset in mechanical and systems engineering, product and systems architecture, and technical leadership. I have designed and brought to market many complex electro-mechanical medical devices and similar mission critical products. I have built out entire technical teams and am an experienced technical leader as well.

I am happy to help in any way. If you need some simple design modifications or a solution to a very bookended problem - I am happy to help. If you have an incredibly complex new electro-mechanical medical device that is just a napkin sketch and a patent and you need help architecting the entire product over the next 2 years and build the team - I am happy to help.

If you are working on hardware in the medical space or have an otherwise mission-critical application I am confident I can help overcome challenges and become a valuable ally to you and your team.
In comparison to other recent sales of big studios and publishers the price just seems absolutely and insanely low. Gearbox 1.3B, Bethesda 7.5B, Insomniac $230M, Wth is Square thinking.

Letting Eidos and Crystal Dynamics go for about the same price as Insomniac? Wild just wild.

It is impossible to remain an individual contributor at Intel. This will last about a year. There are simply too many employees to maintain a flat hierarchy. People dream of this, but in reality, if you're really that good, you will absolutely become a manager, there's just not enough hands on deck.

Plus there is also social pressure: while you're cavorting about as an individual contributor, many other peers will be crushed under management pressure, and will start to resent you, and demand to the VPs that you share the load.

That being said, Intel is really taking a hard turn back to engineering. I might even consider going back there, assuming Gelsinger doesn't go back to the old school ranking-and-ratings that forces you up or out, or the "you must give 120%" bullshit. Being forced to work in "dungeon mode" for months at a time is what drove me out. "Dungeon mode" is supposed to be a 1-2 week thing to fix a serious bug. (DM is spending 14 hours a day in a conference room 7 days a week.) YOu can only do that so many years in a row before saying enough. That's why Intel lost so many people to Apple a few years ago.
The Green Revolution proved we could increase crop production through additional inputs, not magic. We moved the constraint from local soil conditions to global resource extraction.
From http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~rpressler/loom/loom/sol1_part1.h...:

"Whereas the OS can support up to a few thousand active threads, the Java runtime can support millions of virtual threads. Every unit of concurrency in the application domain can be represented by its own thread, making programming concurrent applications easier. Forget about thread-pools, just spawn a new thread, one per task. You’ve already spawned a new virtual thread to handle an incoming HTTP request, but now, in the course of handling the request, you want to simultaneously query a database and issue outgoing requests to three other services? No problem — spawn more threads. You need to wait for something to happen without wasting precious resources? Forget about callbacks or reactive stream chaining — just block. Write straightforward, boring code. All the benefits threads give us — control flow, exception context, debugging flow, profiling organization — are preserved by virtual threads; only the runtime cost in footprint and performance is gone. There is no loss in flexibility compared to asynchronous programming because, as we’ll see, we have not ceded fine-grained control over scheduling."

This seems so obvious in hindsight as the "right way". I wonder why we went down that whole async/await craze with so many languages?
I suggest reading [this essay](https://thefifthwave.wordpress.com/what-is-the-fifth-wave/), which OP links to on his website, for more insight into the philosophical background he's coming from.
It's also similar to opening a pack of premium herbs from a dispensary, grinding it, packing it into a bowl or a vaporizer, etc
Not sure if this is meant to be taken seriously, but many of the observations outlined is both described and addressed here https://duckduckgo.com/privacy

Also, it seems the author lists his concerns and opinions without offering a solution. Does he think Google or Bing are better alternatives?
Nassim Taleb uses the story of the one-year-old goose, so content that the nice humans have always and ever allowed her to get bigger and bigger. Then Thanksgiving happens. Over the hundreds of thousands of years of its actual existence, humanity has seen massive setbacks, inclusive of a moment when no more than a few thousands of us were alive, it was 70'000 years ago, it's in our genes. It is also very possible that there were previous periods with written records. We just don't have those.
One group of people have frustrations with the Washington Post, another group of people have frustrations with those people. Goes around in a circle.

To my mind, they led the race to the bottom that is US journalism today.
Isn't Kotlin coroutines have the same coloring problem (functions must be marked with "suspend").l?

Although the coloring problem is only a problem if red functions are harder to use. Not sure marking all functions with "suspend" would make it any worse, besides infecting the codebase.

You don't want to start a business. You want to get a new job working for someone who has started a business.
Still not definitely an offer since its not clear whether "no way, its $50K" is a committed offer, plus the terms should be more definite.
It is just SSNs but updated for the 21st century. Your dox would probably be a lot safer, because they would be held by 1 accountable public agency rather than 10 unaccountable private for-profit corporations.

Its not clear if US is any worse of that other countries based on this UN study. The data is very noisy and many developing countries don't have high confidence estimates of waste. Lack of temperature controlled storage and reliable transportation infrastructure can be a big issue in developing countries for example.

Solid idea! Wish you all the best
There's linear gameplay and then there are linear games. Linear games are preferable, for many games, because there is a story that you can impact in meaningful ways, but with 'an' outcome. That outcome will morph or change based on inputs you make and decisions you make throughout the process. Linear gameplay is boring, in that you don't get any agency. You are simply completing a series of steps to feel a sense of accomplishment, when in reality all you have done is push the approved buttons at the appropriate time.

Linear game that's awesome: Pillars of Eternity.

Linear gameplay that's not awesome: Tomb raider games.

Or maybe different games are made for different people. That could also be an option.
Assign the role to one of yourselves and rotate the position. When you get large enough, hire someone when you understand the role.
Conventional wisdom is that the most common places to find cofounders are at school or from working at other startups. I didn't study comp sci in school, so most of my tech connections came from my decision to leave the education sector for tech and the network I built in my time there. I've also met many tech people through local meetups.

I'll add that many people ITT are focusing on your "boring stuff" comment. I'm a founder, and honestly, the "business stuff" is not my favourite thing to do either; particularly sales. However, it also happens to be the most important work I do. Your comment indicates that it's not something you and your co-founders believe is valuable work. I hope that's not the case, but if it is you may struggle to engage a partner with this skillset.
If you're planning on delegating the financial success of the company from the start, why not just go work for a company with an already functioning business side?

I'm confused what the point of starting a business to not do business is. Maybe you have a beautiful idea that doesn't currently have a market, in which case you might want a business co-founder, but you'll still want and need to have opinions about fund-raising and success....

Food waste is mostly just a sign that food is very cheap. Cheap enough that it's not worth trying to save or find another use for what's wasted.
> Your first argument maybe is true but in the overall comparisons these laptops are heavier.

No?

X1 Nano: 907g

Macbook Air 13: 1290g

So just 70% percent of the weight.

X1 Carbon: 1120g

Macbook Pro 14: 1600g

Again 70%.

So they are much lighter, not just a little.
Yeah, it's trippy and looks like a low-effort meme game, but it has surprising depth both in terms of gameplay and arguably also in terms of philosophical consistency.

To each their own. I'd have spec'ed that MacBook Pro out to 16GB though. I don't do Windows and I have on-prem cloud VMs (config'd for 32GB) for Linux. I don't need a Linux desktop (shudder!) either.

As those comments say, any googler can verify that the mentioned email threads exist. And someone would've spoken up if that was a lie.

Apple slammed by EU for denying Apple Pay rivals access to iPhone’s NFC tech
OK so they actually mention this towards the end of the video. I guess this is more about how crazy Javascript frameworks and frontend in general has gotten, so it's time to step back and trim down some of the fat.

Looks like an interesting project. One thing I worry about is debugging. I once had to help out with some weird bugs in a relatively simple RShiny application written using the reactive model, and it was a total nightmare.
I think you're being generous.

"American west" covers a lot of area.

The idea that the people there 'lacked resources for widespread access to fire' is preposterous. And t-3's own example shows the Jumanos 'developed a high skill in tanning buffalo and deer hides from which they made clothing and moccasins', the and the Mansos women 'cover themselves from the waist down with two deerskins', so definitely with access to resources from which to make clothing.

That they didn't is a different thing.
there's a big difference between a glorified color sensor and a well trained deep learning library (I can say this with authority because I hired an intern at Google to help build one of those detectors). It's still not magic, but a well-trained network is robust and generalizable in a way that a color sensor cannot be.
I'm not familiar with the reasons given for stonewalling desalination plants. It seems to me (a layman) that this would be one of the first real avenues for actual progress on the shortage. Why is this being fought so hard?

>(DM is spending 14 hours a day in a conference room 7 days a week.) YOu can only do that so many years in a row before saying enough. That's why Intel lost so many people to Apple a few years ago.

A high-profile hire probably would not word it this way exactly… but old org that is struggling can be an interesting place to be. Especially if there is new leadership looking to right the ship and put their stamp on things.

A lot of “we can’t do that” or “we don’t do that” in big corps actually comes down to “we don’t think we need to do that.” Because why mess with success?

But when everyone realizes success is slipping, a lot more things become possible. I’m going through that now at my employer and big ideas that bounced off of walls for years are now getting done in months. It’s fun.
nit: ad-hominem is attacking the person rather than what they’re doing or their argument, e.g. saying that someone is an idiot rather than refuting their argument. There’s nothing ad-hominem in any of my arguments: I’m just pointing out that what you’re doing is unproductive and off-topic and giving my opinion about why you’re being downvoted.

You could and reasonably did say the same thing about my arguing with you (that it’s unproductive), but that wouldn’t be an ad-hominem attack. You’re attacking my actions, not my person.
This solves part of the problem, but not the whole problem. An important aspect of any general identity system is the ability to associate an ID with a specific human for cases where you need to hold the human accountable. DNS relies on banks and governments for this feature.
I'm much more left than most people in my wife's very small hometown.

Sure, but why should people‘s income decide who lives and who dies? I’d say let’s kill all the psychopaths first. Like those fantasizing about mass starvation.

On a less violent note, every country has seen birth rates decline as it became richer. Modern western societies only grow through immigration, and even many countries in, say, Africa, have seen drastic declines. Humanity doesn’t expand until it unavoidably runs out of food, that’s a 19th century idea.
Preview features [1] are fully supported — and are part of the official Java SE specification — they're just not finalised or "permanent" (and are, therefore, disabled by default). I.e. the API might experience some changes due to feedback, so those who wish to use it acknowledge, by means of the --enable-preview flag, that they accept the possibility of the API changing. However, an API is marked as Preview (as opposed to incubator[2]) only when it is close to being finalised, meaning that we believe it can be finalised in two releases (one year).

Toby Hemenway forwarded a notion that water cycles are sufficient to transport nitrogen from nitrogen-rich plants to their neighbors as a continuous basis instead of on an annual one. The model he builds from research he had read goes something like this:

After a rain, as the soil goes from waterlogged to dry, there are phases that are hostile to root hairs and ones that are conducive. So the plant roots pulse with these cycles, advancing and retreating, sometimes arriving at places vacated by other plants. By this mechanism, any plant can scavenge some of the nitrogen left in the decaying root hairs of their neighbors.

I would also warn that thinking nitrogen=legume is a potentially limiting strategic error. While something like 7% of all plants fall into the Fabaceae (legume) family, some other pockets of the Fabales order also have root nodules, in particular, alder, and up into the Rosids clade (buckthorn, ceanothus), and then a few odd stragglers like borage, which makes me wonder if it's a taxonomic problem, parallel evolution, or what.

And then there's mondo grass (asparagaceae), which nobody expects to have root nodules. I knew about that plant for about two decades before someone pointed out it's nitrogen fixing, and that's not even in the wikipedia article. And in fact I'm having a dickens of a time finding a citation for that.
