> At a small co. you get to wear a lot of hats and have a much more holistic feel for the business

I like the hats.

Once, a (junior) coworker asked what I expect from the job.

I figured it was 6 things:

- Money, of course

- Interesting work

- Learning, or at least putting good stuff on my resume

- Ego, wanting to say "_I_ built that"

- Control, wanting to say "I built that _with my tools_" or getting to work on "_my_" projects

- Socialization

I ranked them in order of how concretely the company offered them to employees.

Money is the most concrete, it's in every contract. Socialization is the most abstract, the company can't make any promises about that.

The middle ones were fuzzy. The company's product is somewhat interesting, and won't change often, but learning, ego, and control were not in any contract. These were things I quietly extracted under the table because I just really wanted them.

I would like to reify them. I'd like to say to my manager "I'm going to work on some pointless internal tool nobody needs, just so I can play with this new language. Then when I realize we could never deploy it, I'll feel better about using an older language on our real product. I can't control my inner child, and letting me play with blocks and Play-Doh is cheaper for us than hiring a company therapist or firing me."

A couple times my boss' boss teased us about "10% time, like Google does", and it never manifested. I've just been taking it anyway. Probably less than 10%. My last performance review was great and every month they give me money, so I haven't been caught. Maybe it works because, unlike Google, I'm not trying to write a new chat app every time I need a promotion. I'm just occasionally doing things nobody told me to do, based on my intuition, to satisfy some sub-conscious wannabe hacker drive.
Same with me. It is really interesting stuff!
I'm not a power engineer, but it seems like an advantage of solar is that you can just rewire around the damaged panels and it keeps working at slightly reduced capacity.
Agree that BEV works in Japan and Japanese motor company (good at making ICE) have incentive to delay transition for BEV. Still, there are blockers to have EV in Japan.

Having normal charging outlet on mechanical parking in Tokyo is difficult. Govt subsidy is now getting available but replacing entire mechanical parking system would be very costly. Non-pluggable hybrid is practical for them. Anyway they tend to not use cars for commute everyday, so they aren't best customer for BEV.

BEV on local cities/rural areas (where most people use car for commute) is very practical especially they have a house, but they tend to not earn much so most BEVs are not affordable for now. They also love minivans that should be extremely optimized for inner space. Nissan Sakura is great for them as a second K-car on family. I wish Japanese manufacturers release more affordable models.

Anyway (cheap and reliable) massive battery supply is the blocker for EV transition that should be solved by automotive company. Toyota can make 40x Prius for one bz4X battery capacity.

> Extensive, highly reliable, fast public transit means range is irrelevant.

You mean BEV for rental car fleet? It's different story. They care vehicle cost very much, but fuel price is paid by customer.
https://criu.org/ indicates it supports migration already; at least at the container level.
This is the parenting approach we take with our kids. Focus on the inputs instead of the outputs.

Instead of “wow, you’re smart - you got an a”, say “wow, it looks like you worked really hard. I can tell you took your time and focused hard on the problem”.

With sports, where the focus is on results even at a very young age, we always say “I love watching you try”.
Great question! We've often contemplated the Vinovest.io model. Vinovest sells fine wine as an investment. Because you own the individual bottles and are entitled, for a fee, to have them sent to your door, they avoid most securities headaches.

I wonder if we could do that for individual panels, particularly given deployment of module level Enphase micro inverters.
Always use a separate, dedicated registrar. Never register a domain with a company you have any other business with.
Nutritional drops have been minimal (see other comment references 7%) and considering most Americans don’t even get the minimal servicing of fruits and vegetables I’d worry about that first.
> I've never understood the internet's hate for cursive

Isn't the whole point to handwrite faster, which people don't even do anymore?
I for one didn't write fast in cursive so even that's not true.

On the other hand it's harder to read, harder to OCR.

Given text is read way more than it is written, the choice is clear.
What happens to old shoes and how mass production deals with waste
> maybe they should get into selling board-level components so that they have a financial incentive to act morally and within their projected image of 'right-to-repair' advocacy.

That might help if the component packs had a decent loyalty markup. I'm sure repair shops and DIY'ers would love to have access to guaranteed-exact-same-components. Just buying the same number from the datasheet doesn't always guarantee identical electrical characterization across different manufacturers and batches.

The primary issue Framework is facing (AIUI) is that if they release the complete board-level schematics, enterprises in Shenzhen will immediately release Framework clones (and sub-module clones) which are part-for-part compatible with the actual Framework laptops. This could undercut their business model at a very high-risk time for their company. They're incredibly capital-constrained and need to meet their pricing/sales targets just to survive (not even considering making their investors happy). Framework is a bit of a "Tech Fad" at the moment, and consumers have historically been known to be incredibly price-conscious, even sometimes demonizing the companies who did the original innovation after they can't meet or beat the clones prices or functionality (I recall this with Arduino). This would make me super wary of releasing the full schematics as well.

I would be very suprised if Rossmann Repair was unaware of the NDA. I suspect Framework are being very very magnanimous in their communications here. Rossmann Group probably omitted that context in slightly bad faith to pressure Framework a bit more. That's normal for zealots -- and it is still a symbiotic ecosystem...Rossmann Group laid so much of the foundation needed for Framework to thrive! Also some of Framework's investors (Linus of Linus Tech Tips) were directly responsible for mediating/facilitating/negotiating the current schematic NDA arrangement after listening to Rossmann's critiques as a pre-condition to investing their money, time, and reputation. It would be strange if that story had somehow slipped past Rossmann Group...

[Edit: According to others, Louis has a video where he acknowledges the current situation and empathizes with Framework about it, so clearly Rossman is aware. Other people have since mentioned that Framework may be legally unable to release the schematics because they are based on licensed designs from an ODM or chipset/component supplier. In which case, perhaps this video from Rossmann group is designed to help the public put pressure on those upstream IP stakeholders.]

I do agree with 'LeonM. Eventually the detailed schematics they provide to repair shops will leak or be stolen or whatever anyways. But I understand Frameworks concerns.

There's a need for truly open source hardware. Please support the projects at CrowdSupply[0] ... many of which do have truly open source hardware+software+schematics+PCB Layout Files. And they are nearly all very very small "cottage industry" side-gigs which desperately need the financial enthusiasm and participatory enthusiasm of early adopters in order to thrive.

It turns out its tough to get exposure to direct equity in renewable infrastructure, particularly as a retail investor. Do you mind if I put that in my business plan?
lol. It sounds like they hire smart people. But smart people =/= good engineers. Good engineers keep things as simple as they can.
It would be interesting to have a view showing all comments from the above submissions on the same comment page.

I guess the ranking would have to be proportional rather than absolute, since I'm assuming more recent comments would have gotten more votes due to a growing audience.
> Prior to Mac OS X, people would have been laughed out of the building for having a Mac, but now, with Mac OS X and the magic of open source, it was suddenly OK or even cool.

To push a bit further, a bunch of us switched to OSX not from windows but FreeBSD or linux. Hardware support for open source OSes was abysmal and getting commercial software to run on even linux was death by thousand cuts at best.

On the work side, anything "not windows" was also just not an option, and we'd code on windows and remote to unix servers as needed.

Introduction of Darwin really created a space where Unix could live in personal and corporate environments.
Gamblers always have leverage and your attitude ignores the systemic risk when these gamblers leverage themselves 30x chasing capital for billionaires?
Okay, the original topic was about drum machines vs samplers.

In general though, while tracking and performing sure, samplers and synths are in different categories. But then there are sampling synths and emulators (though obviously not the MPC). But if it sounds like a Prophet 5 in a recording, it can sound like one in a sampler.

And a sampler doesn't need to sound like every unique Prophet 5, just one.
In general, Framework has been extremely transparent, but they haven't given specifics about this issue. In a previous video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cJj8PUY0DU ), Louis Rossman mentions that he asked Framework why they wouldn't release schematics and was given an answer (that he deemed valid) on the condition that he couldn't publicly say what that answer is. I imagine it's because of some sort of legal agreement, either with the ODM that designed the motherboard or one or more of their chip suppliers. I doubt it's for fear of cloning, leaked schematics for products from a variety of manufacturers (Apple, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, etc) have been available for years and you don't see any cloning going on there.
Yikes if true.

I moved several valued domains to Cloudflare registrar precisely because I assumed that they'd be better in "rare but extremely unpleasant" domain-loss scenarios, such as account takeover (by a third party) or account suspension/termination (by them).

Contrast with Google domains, where I could never shake a worry that uploading the wrong music in a private YouTube clip could one day randomly cascade to my whole domains account being closed without recourse..
Why didn't the company have the ability to get the cash from a bank in the first place? I imagine there is less stress created for a investor by purchasing panels for their own home or business and pocketing the savings, instead of giving the same money to a business that apparently wasn't able to secure the same loan from an investor.
Maybe report through the IWF? https://www.iwf.org.uk/about-us/how-we-assess-and-remove-con...

Cloudflare apparently signed up as a member in August of 2021: https://www.iwf.org.uk/membership/our-members/cloudflare/
KOreader is massively annoying. You have to set up every book individually, and there's no consistency in the UI.
Definitely for Framework.
Moral of the story: (senior) engineers should have power to overrules the bean counters if needed.
Cant wait to test and see how it handles very large files. Love the in place command system to be honest. The less clicking I have to do, the beter.
There's also the latency. POTS audio added very little, but modern codecs add some and modern networks add some more, and modern computer audio adds a bit more and soon enough it's enough to make the conversation harder, even when it's hard to perceive.
That's not a mass transit problem. People are not safe in schools and many other places either. It's a problem of society, too big wealth differences and poor education for those who can't pay enough.

Rating each other is highly discriminatory: I have an Asian friend and she complains that she never gets decent places on Airbnb.
I'm ~20 pages from finishing the book "Local Dollar, Local Sense" by Michael Shuman. Your approach is refreshing and creative yet (I presume) SEC compliant.

Kudos for letting the unaccredited have an influence on the future too.

> Sooner or later one of those repair shops is going to leak those schematics. Either intentionally or accidentally, it won't matter.

While you may be right, the trade secret value of the schematics decreases by the day. If they can delay schematic leaks for months or even a year, that's still a big win. They'll be on to the next generation by then.

While it may seem futile in the end, delaying the inevitable leak and demonstrating to your partners that you made a best effort attempt to keep them confidential is actually a huge win.
Perhaps not:

The company came pretty close to getting away with "our systems are down so we can't pay you". I'm sure there were far more policy holders during that time that didn't pursue arbitration than those that did.

So why wouldn't they just shrug and try to blow it off? On balance it likely made them money.
Yep. This is one reason I've always ran linux on my dev machine anywhere that would let me - sure, there shouldn't be any difference between OSes, but otherwise it's one more place for differences between dev and prod to creep in.
That's why it's 'no commitment', but I would not set exceptions at 7.3% if I did not expect the product to be at or near that number. Our accredited investors do better, but again, that's with tax equity.
He was just as good of a man in real life.
Ah yes, Douglas McArthur. The biggest of raging idiots who in fact led violence against the Bonus Army[0] because they dared to ask for their pay.

No one should take McArthur (or Patton) for having useful or interesting advice. They were callous cowards.

All due respect to Jaron but this idea is a non-starter for anyone that is used to the current form of individualized social media. I have been thinking about this issue for some time now and the main driver of all the anti-social behavior is the metrics that the platforms expose to the participants, e.g. likes, retweets, impressions, etc. Take away the numbers and the incentive for acting like an anti-social narcissist goes away. This especially includes the follower counts. Without the follower counts Tim Pool is just another crank, but when people see 1M+ followers they think he has something worthwhile to say when the reality is he's just another shock jock.

It's the same for anyone with a large number of followers. If you have the web development chops you can write a chrome extension to get rid of all the counters and notice how much different the entire experience becomes. Without the useless stats you will start paying attention to the content instead of its perceived social popularity. The irrelevant statistics make it seem like social media is a game when in fact it's not.
You're making a very bold claim that they won't do it because of money. In an earlier video, Louis Rossmann said he can't publicly say what those reasons are but that he understands them. It is not something I would expect him to say if it was purely "they want to make more money."
Posterity will be the ultimate judge of whether this proxy battle strategy can hold. Regardless of the actual outcome, you can bet it will be spun as a win or loss by the predictable players.

This just seems like the next evolution in undeclared war. Considering what happened with Afghanistan, the way in which cheap portable weapons are being used to take out tanks, ships, and aircraft, and the way in which minimizing civilian casualties seems to be the norm now... I wonder if large military forces don't have the force they once did. Perhaps the top brass in the US know this, and realize that exposing it with open warfare. Russia certainly didn't do as well as most people expected. now they, China, the US... we may all be paper tigers needing to pretend like we have any power to conquer, when all we can really do is blow stuff up, which hardly makes for a successful occupation.
One more thought - Sometimes I wonder if manager-types read these threads and think, "Okay, so when it's time to stop being a startup, we drop the free soda and replace the whiny unherdable hacker cats with work-a-day copy-pasters. All according to plan."

So I wonder, maybe if I ever stop liking my company, it doesn't mean the company's bad, it means I just need to find another startup and ride it for 4 or 5 years until it gets too big again.
I agree with this. When management think in money only, that's a good sign for me to leave. If they think that happy employees are just magically happy, and don't care about making employees happy, that is just ignorance. Don't happy employees perform better? Does employee performance not matter? Profits have long been the end goal for American companies, and it's too bad. Chasing money, instead of treating employees well, treating the community well, and treating the environment well, is a bad way to run a business, and we are all suffering for it now.
I'm of mixed mind about this. On one hand, the Texas law seems obviously to compel people to pay for others free speech. That seems to contradict property rights, and also whatever rationale was used to dump the Fairness Doctrine.

On the other hand, I want to see this play out. Like when the Satanic Temple gets statues of Baphomet on state capitals next to displays of 10 commandments and creches, I suspect that internet users have more creativity than Texas lawmakers imagine. I want to see the "not like that!" scrambling from Texas and SCOTUS. I also want to see if Twitter goes the way of Usenet, dying of spam.
No it is actually quite different. nuPRL starts with an untyped programming language and you then prove that an untyped expression has a certain behaviour. The behaviour is called a Type but it is fundamentally a very different idea from Martin Loff type theory (IMHO). They do say that it is MLTT, and in principle they are right, but MLTT is as powerful as set theory so that is true of anything mathematically. LEAN for example supports non-constructive mathematics. But it is still based on a type theory. Anyways … YouTube has a great talk about the ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE0SSLizYUI
That specific "we can do whatever" language is only for domains that you didn't renew on time.

They have some separate terms that allow similar things, in specified categories of abuse and related stuff.
Absolutely! That could be one of our next categories after solar. Depending on the facility, there could be on-site battery storage owned and operated by other non-Legends investors for the time being.
The vertamedia clickhouse plugin works perfectly for me. Have you tried opening an issue upstream.
Why would you ever use SQL? The SQL transaction model doesn't make a lot of sense for most use cases (including essentially anything that uses the internet), and trivial usability things like being able to have collection columns without having to define a separate table all add up.
I'm unvaccinated, fwiw.
Not a canoe expert, but I did guide in the BWCA for a summer in college. I've got about 1,000 miles in a canoe all told, almost entirely flat water.

I paddle with an upright stroke because for a canoe paddle, a pretty efficient stroke has your lower hand down quite close to the blade. If I were to wear a watch while paddling, it'd get wet. Your arms remain straight through the stroke, and the power comes from swinging your shoulders and upper back through the stroke. I find that paddling like this means I use a smaller paddle than I'd be normally given, so my experience squares with the article.

This is from a seat, and a bent shaft is widely regarded as more efficient, which feels consistent with my experience. I've not padded enough kneeling to have an opinion, though the conventional wisdom is that a straight shaft is preferable when kneeling. In any case, if you're J-stroking in the stern, it probably matters a lot less than if you're in the bow.

I've always paddled a kayak the same way, sea kayaks included. Does the power in the stroke you're describing come from twisting your trunk in the stroke or is it higher as I've described, or something else? If it's higher, how do you put those muscles to use with the lower stroke?

I can see that you likely save energy not lifting the ends of the paddle high in the air on each stroke, but I've never worked out or been taught a stroke that makes sense for a longer paddle and a flatter stroke.
Or that they are used to simple things being kept simple in other languages. Case in point - String enums in Go:

const (
Summer Season = iota
Autumn
Winter
Spring
)

func (s Season) String() string {
switch s {
case Summer:
return "Summer"
case Autumn:
return "Autumn"
case Winter:
return "Winter"
case Spring:
return "Spring"
}
return "Unknown"
}

Same in Java (invalid values would raise an exception):

enum Season {
Summer,
Autumn,
Winter,
Spring
}

Newcomer friendly indeed.

I've been using ModernCSV for a while to handle readonly CSVs (mainly for sanity checking) and it's been fantastic.

Version 2 looks great, it's a hard balance to add features and not become bloated so will be interesting to see what it's like going forward.

(I love the product, not affiliated, just been using it every day since November 2020 as a happily paid user and recommend it to anyone who has the "pleasure" of working with CSVs)
Well, to be fair, parking is AT LEAST as important as housing, since housing without parking is pretty damn useless in almost every city there is. There are very valid reasons that most of the population of the world (and especially the US) simply refuse to live anyplace where public transit is the only option - it just sucks. Always.
I think a more interesting question is whether anyone can point to a company that used a SPAC that has been a clear success. Maybe not on the scale of Meta/Facebook, but even moderately successful.

That is an honest question - I can’t think of any but I’m also no expert.
SPACs bring new management and/or bundle together multiple existing companies into one large IPO, allowing you to sort of merge/index/change-manage/IPO all at the same time. This theoretically could allow three dying manufacturing firms to become one functioning public firm.

Yea that’s the best I can come up with. Not super believable.
Heh in a lot of companies that’s what is happening most of the time.

Security ,"in the cloud" is really more a making of the cloud.

If I setup a raspberry pi and follow basic security, why would I need all those encrypted bits to sit on someone else's server?

Infact, the cloud create a security issue just by aggregating everyone's stuff and exclaiming ,, Hey guys! We got all the juicy data here!

I know that's security through obscurity but the only reason apple has been secure from. Malware for a long time was it's limited attractiveness.
But that’s still shit. The lawyer is incentivized to charge as much as he can because the person hiring him isn’t the one who pays it. That’s fucked up.
