Warby Parker | Senior Frontend and Backend Engineers | New York, NY | Hybrid Onsite | https://www.warbyparker.com/

Warby Parker was founded with a mission to inspire and impact the world with vision, purpose, and style. Since the day we launched in 2010, we’ve pioneered ideas, designed products, and developed technologies that help people see—from designer-quality prescription glasses (starting at $95) and contacts to eye exams and vision tests. Customers can meet us online, at more than 160 Warby Parker stores across the U.S. and Canada, or even in their home. Ultimately, we believe in vision for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses we sell, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. To date, we have worked alongside our nonprofit partners to distribute more than ten million glasses to people in need—and we're only just getting started.

> The next problem is that in order to pass new laws, you need to have a super-majority in the senate, a majority in the house, and the presidency to go along with the law. Pretty difficult when the republican party has decided they want absolutely no new laws and certainly no expansion of rights. (See: how hard they are fighting against the HR-1 the voter rights act [2])

Why isn't this abolished, then? Does a majority of the U.S. electorate actually want to abolish the filibuster and so on? If not, then it seems like a logical series of propositions:

1. A majority of the U.S. population want >60% majorities to pass laws.

2. A majority, but less than 60%, support nationally permitting abortion.

3. Therefore, while a majority of the U.S. support abortion, they don't support any system that would actually allow it to become law.

"The federal government is hopelessly useless" and "the states shouldn't get to decide anything" seem to me like two contrary positions. Either:

1. The current federal system is fine, and there is no need to change anything.

2. The current federal system is not fine, but it can be changed. Therefore, it should simply be reformed.

3. The current federal system is not fine, but it can't be changed. Therefore, the states should have the power instead.

What am I missing, here? Genuinely curious.

This kind of thing is what jury nullification is for.
Using informal channels for a sizeable part of the economy is not going to make the government less corrupt but more. Any gouvernement needs money to work, and that money is raised by taxes. If a huge part of money is not taxed, it will have 3 effects: 1/ the taxes will increase on the rest 2/ the unelected people controlling the informal channels will have a lot of power 3/ the government will not be able to works properly, meaning that corruption will be used more to compensate
For me zigbee has been more reliable. I have only had Z-wave devices fail.

Regarding batteries I minimise the use of anything with batteries, but I make a point of buying devices that use larger batterieswhen I have to. I have a couple zigbee motion sensors going on 18 months.

Alternatively I’ll use a dummy battery to hard wire a sensor so I can remove the battery

In the original the army of the dead was used to capture the ships, and grab the army under a Prince in southern Gondor, (I think it was Imiril) and bring his army up from Osgiliath, to surround the armies of darkness on 3 sides, who then broke and ran.
I love FastMail but I had to stop using it for my business because emails sent to Outlook would regularly bounce. I contacted support but their replies often took a week so I gave up.

Based on the other replies, it seems like i was unlucky so I may give it another try.
Probably for the same reason nobody goes around talking about the BATNA of having employees. This doesn’t make any sense.

Yes, I agree. I just feel it important here, as the divides are huge, both culturally and especially physicallly, than what we used to think of as 'race' between humans.
In TV 'Mr. Big' is usually the 'Showrunner'. Basically the original creators. It's like a form of creative production and management.

For film, the Director is often kind of the version of 'Showrunner'.

If the director was the one doing the pitching, raising the money - they they are that.

If it's a big IP asset, like Star Treck, then it's different, sometimes a team effort.

Like Kathleen Kennedy is the 'Big Honcho' for Star Wars and will have absolutely the 'last word' on everything, directors may not. Directors may have to negotiate their degree of freedom and may really want to avoid those situations where they are 'not in control', and will be forced to 'take notes'.

So 'director', depending on the type of show, does not have to be the most critical thing, it really depends.

Something that's heavily dependent on the quality of the acting, probably the director will matter a lot.

A perfunctory serial, a bit less.

For something so fundamentally institutionalized, like 'The Big Bang Theory' I'll bet you could remove almost any single person, and the gap would be filled in by the others who are all professionals. Like literally a child could direct an episode, because everyone would know 'what to do'.

But yeah, it helps to have a 'core creative team' that has track record of resonance, this way, you have an idea of what you will get.

Cohen Brothers, Villeneuve, Tom Cruise Inc., they use a lot of the same people. So you have less risk.
Pet server classes is a much nicer concept anyway. I never liked the instance based personalization. Creating a machine, defining its class, and seeing it become a machine of its class is magical.

Of course, the newest idea is for creating and destroying machines automatically... that outside of the could is quite pointless but people want it anyway. I imagine seeing all that orchestration working must be even nicer than a machine autoconfiguring, but I am yet to see a place where it just works.
This feels like spam. The domain name for a single article is the same as the article's title?

Posting this here: Monte Cook's Consent in Gaming is really helpful [0] as a useful guide for creating the kind of game your players want, and is a free resource.

I'll voice an unpopular opinion: people should live in these dry areas.

Deserts have wildlife, yes, but they have much less biomass than the other places humans live. A person living in Arizona or Nevada is displacing much less natural wildlife than a person like me, living in Seattle.

So I say let's embrace people living in water-starved areas like the Southwest. We can enable it by smart water usage, like you see in Vegas, combined with things like smart water diversion and desalinization.
Thanks man. I'm getting the hang of it -- basically once I convince myself to drop all objectives for the first 5 or so years I immediately felt a bit better. It's just training my brain to convince myself that takes a bit of time.

Plus, if this catalysis system works, then excess electricity can power the process to convert methane into methanol as a chemical battery store.

That, combined with the ability to extract CO2 from the atmosphere and convert that into Methane would result in carbon neutral (or even negative, if any of the converted CO2 carbon breaks away from the O2 in the burning process as soot) any time power delivery.

Yes, you would be burning the methanol in an engine to turn a turbine but if the carbon for that process came from the atmosphere to begin with then who would be upset by that?
I think the internet was less pervasive before, so it mattered less for C, C++, Java, and it matters a lot more now.

I'm a programmer and my wife is a robotic surgeon who did many, many operations with these da Vinci machines (and also trained with them in residency). Her focus is on what's known as "MIGS", described here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot-assisted_surgery#Gynecol...

Glad to ask her any engineering- or programmer-minded questions that HN folks might have about what robotic surgery is like. (I'll collect any that are posted here, turn a list of them into a batch for her, and transcribe her answers.)

One thing that I notice that the author of this article leaves out is that though trainees are often "watching" a surgery rather than controlling it via the second console, this is a much better form of "watching" than most surgical trainees are typically accustomed. This is because both consoles attached to the robot get the immersive PoV of the primary surgeon. This should be compared to the alternatives, "'straight-stick' laparoscopy" and "open surgery", wherein the view of the surgery for trainees is usually quite limited.

FWIW, my wife trained "both ways" (robotic and 'straight-stick') and believes there are trade-offs -- it depends on the patient condition and what one is trying to accomplish.

This regulation is 5+ years overdue, but legislation always lags behind market conditions.

If the US/other countries follow suit there will probably be a big unintended effect though: the diminishing of open web standards and Google getting final say about what will work on "the web" and what won't.

With Firefox diminishing, Safari is the last bastion against a Chromium-only web.

There are lots of Chromium forks, but they own the project, and I doubt even Microsoft would take on any significant divergence from the upstream code base, considering the development velocity.

I would predict (native) Chrome graining a very sizeable market share on iOS within five years, driven in part by web app developers being happy to finally just focus on Chrom(ium) and add "works best Chrome" banners.
Off the top of my head, sure. I'd imagine it would be harder to resell an off-grid home in suburban California, I'd certainly be hesitant to buy a home like that. Any issues could cause outages until you get it fixed, which may or may not be as quick as you'd like. Battery-backed PV systems are more expensive. More energy management would be required of the user, it's not as simple as never really worrying about whether you have power. None of those prevent most people from being able to go off grid, but they would be disincentives.

>At some point I'm going to start making 3.7V BEC USB things to save myself some frustration.

That's why I love jlcpcb. I have been building IOT thingies for about $5-$10 a part. They build PCB and do SMT so you get somewhat finished product. (Just need a 3D print for enclosure). This ends up being about same cost as buying from someone else, but 100% under your control\customizable
The point of my pedantic comment was to note that the goal of seeking maximum profit is universal, what is not is being able to extract maximum profit, which is made possible by supply and demand, which you alluded to with "you need this or you see a loved one suffer".

>It ceases to be a purely economic function because people can't just walk away, and that has market effects that mean the typical pressures of a free market (such as 'supply and demand') become muddied.

Supply and demand has not become muddied. The ability to extract maximum profit is from the fact that there is very little supply and extremely high demand.

>Sufficient supply is irrelevant if Spot is suffering -right now-, all the providers form a monopoly, and their prices are massively inflated.

Sufficient supply and demand implies lots of agents supplying demand and lots of agents willing to buy, resulting in a situation where either party can walk away from the other to enable price discovery. If all the providers form a monopoly, they no longer act as individual agents, and hence there is no longer sufficient supply.

The dynamics of supply and demand and price discovery do not quite care about the suffering during the process, which is where the concept of insurance comes in. It could be provided by well regulated private markets with sufficiently well behaved actors, or by society at large via taxes, but the concept is the same. You prepare for unaffordable, unexpected expenses by "paying" in advance so that at the time of needing the product/services, you are not having to negotiate because the negotiations have already happened.

It's easy to simulate the robotic manipulators - the dynamics are well known and they are rigid objects.

On the other hand, simulating say skin/muscle/blood or anything that closely resembles human body is near impossible. Without that, a simulator is pretty much useless and it'll probably easier to train the surgeons on real robot + some animal like pig
Oh I do both, one of those just not voluntarily as someone who does not live alone : )
And it would be better if Microsoft had total control over what you're allowed to run? Give them that power in 1990, and the web never exists outside of a research project.
When you move into a city you have to assume you are voluntarily giving up your rights to behave as you wish with your self and your property. You lose the right to do what you want on your property in order to significantly reduce friction (or potential damage) with all the other close people. For example, almost all cities make it illegal to fire firearms within the city limits. Whereas if you lived in the country there'd be no such law and more importantly in terms of causation, no people likely to be impacted by it.

Cities are tradeoffs. This particular municipal code may be a bit honerous but it's not exceptional in it's reasoning.
For many (most?) users, Apple's restrictions, especially sideloading, protect users from bad actor app owners (looking at you, Facebook). To me, allowing sideloading is like allowing chemical weapons to be used in war. Yes, it's a new tool and capability at your disposal, but it's also available to every powerful and unscrupulous participant.
As you scale and become more experienced as a manager, it's extremely hard to impossible to maintain technical chops forever. The situation is that either you manage your team of 12 thoughtfully, spending time on team meetings, 1 on 1s, strategy planning and considerations no one else is focusing on, and reading and listening to people... or you're heads down and hands off because you're still coding or building and managing is a distraction.

Long term the latter doesn't scale. The CTO won't know all of what his direct knows as well as the directs of the directs. The CEO won't know all of what the CTO knows, plus the CFO and the CISO. Etc.

An architect building a new office building hasn't personally done what every sub contractor and specialist has done, and yet makes decisions of their directions.

A strong hands on technical manager who can mentor plus lead plus deal with external bureaucracy is as rare as such a person working 80 hour weeks is common.

It's also easier with smaller teams and leaner environments without a zillion meetings.

I'm a previously-technical, and now less so tech manager and that's my experience. It's a trade off in terms of time and investment in skills.

Not to mention the technology changes constantly, leading to more non work homework if you need to stay relevant.
I'm comparing to consoles because that's their competition. They see PC as an additional platform that they also release to, and exclusives refer to console platforms, not PC.
Hey, I'm sorry this happened.

This is an issue that can crop up often in games. For future reference you might want to check out safety tools like the X card:

Although to be honest, I've never played with something like that and I tend to think of such tools as unnecessary, provided that there is good communication between playes (including the GM).
Eh as long as one design for portability migrating isn't that hard, which enables them to leverage their own size for volume discounts

As long as they stick to services that have overlap been providers (postgres, mongodb, nfs/cifs, etc) or transformers (s3, azure blob storage) and package their code in somewhat agnostic format (docker images, wars, what have you) they'll be fine.

As the amount of things being made seemingly have increased tenfold, while the amount of watchable stuff seems at best to stay level, I say the figure is probably closer to 99% as we speak.

And the overzealous eagerness to retell already successful stories, but with the message[0] forcefully attached, is causing noticeable political fatigue in increasing portions of what could have been the mainstream demographic.

But the fact that they keep doing on it, implies they think it makes financially sense? Anyone got any more background on what’s going on behind the scenes here?
