They refused to remove a text article describing the video.
From your link:

"A lawful order from a circuit court judge is a serious thing. While we vehemently disagree with Campbell's order with respect to the video itself, we have chosen to take it down pending our appeal.

But the portion of the order compelling us to remove the entirety of Daulerio's post—his words, his speech—is grossly unconstitutional. We won't take it down"

What do you do about the battery life on old SE's from ebay? Do you upgrade the battery?
While I don’t disagree with the negatives here unless you’ve experienced extreme poverty saying it’s “capitalist koolaid” sounds frankly a little naive. These are billions of people who aren’t struggling to do basic things like drink water and eat, shelter themselves and their family, etc, not just at a personal level but at a national level. The change in the world from nearly everyone in that state to today where almost everyone isn’t is a success.

But it might also be our doom.

I guess we shall see. I wager we will make it though.
To be clear there’s a lot wrong with these companies, but this passage below isn’t one of them:

> The article brought attention to other things not going right at the company. For example, DataRobot sent its top salespeople on a lavish trip to The Virgin Islands just days before laying off 7% of employees.

This is a misunderstanding of how sales compensation works. Individual sales people are paid a low base salary, and earn a commission on sales. Reps carry a quota of new revenue they are supposed to land. Their base pay + commission if they hit quota is a pretty good take home, like a mid to senior engineer.

Above quota, sales gets accelerators. Instead of say 15 or 20% commission on a deal, they get 25%, 30% or more. Accelerators keep compounding. The best Sales people are the highest paid individuals in a company. Outside of public companies, top sales people make more than the executives.

Part of that compensation is “presidents club”. Different companies call it different things. It’s a trip or perk for the top sales people. People who are hitting 150%-200% or more of their quota. The reps not hitting their targets are no going on these trips.

So yeah, telling your top sales reps Melanie or Marco, who each personally generated millions of dollars for the company and exceeded their personal targets, that they don’t get to go on their trip because some other sales people sucked so much at there job the company missed a target is not an acceptable option. Definitely not if you want to keep those top reps, which you do, because they sold double their quota.

TLDR: these trips are part of compensation for the people who are exceeding their targets. Don’t fuck with their $$$
Bob Hearn here. Thank you all! Strange to realize it's been 19 years since I wrote that history, which at the time was 12 years after ClarisWorks 1.0 shipped.
Depends massively on (1) the size and type of business and (2) your current skill gaps. I did an MBA and it helped a lot with well paid business consulting until I decided that was a highway to hell. But most of the relevant skills I think you can best learn on the job, hopefully before the stakes get too great.
Well, not to brag, but this is exactly how Julia Child did "the way to cook". First few episodes were all fundamentals like how to dice, chop and julienne vegetables, how to quarter a chicken, your mother sauces, how to cook an egg, and so forth. By the end she's doing full on delicious recipes. I highly recommend it, and gamifying that system to me, would be awesome. Go Parsnip
Ah, we still have a way of generating mock APIs: https://retool.com/api-generator. You can upload a CSV (we'll parse the columns and guess types for each one), and then generate mock data and put it into an AIP for you: https://retool.com/utilities/generate-api-from-csv.

In the future, we'd love to make it more robust; we're currently working on a database-y product (think Airtable, but backed by postgres). It would be really cool to have mock data-generation built in to that product.
Doesn't have to be open source, but I certainly wouldn't contribute, and many others wouldn't as well.

Curation and/or rating is a layer that would be added on top, and I agree it would be necessary to make it useful.

> And NBER has never failed to put the recession stamp on back-to-back drops in GDP.

Yes, it has, though only for a period where it was doing business cycle dating purely long-retrospectively and with no contemporary political/policy weight (1947).

OTOH, that just reinforces the idea that the idea that two down quarters doesn't always mean recession isn't a novelty or invented for contemporary political/policy impact.

Congrats. EdgeDB is really a game changer.

One thing I'm excited about is a framework that uses EdgeDB instead of ORM+SQL. This would make the framework itself leaner and lead to writing less code since the db can do so much more!

Just about at the end of Speaker for the Dead. A Canticle for Leibowitz was the first ones that I really enjoyed. Ender's Game and Speaker for the Dead are up there too but my absolute favorite so far is Dreamsnake.

I'm really annoyed at myself for not reviewing or at least jotting down some notes about the books as I've finished them. I remember liking Canticle a lot but I would be hard pressed to summarize it without some help.

Can we officially lay to rest the egregiously stupid, but often parroted economic notion of "consumer preference" being the ultimate driver of everything? By now it's quite clear that "the range and variety of cell phones people would buy" is far wider that what we actually have.
Besides the economic / niche issues - I love my iPhone mini, I loved my Xperia compact, apparently people on HN also love their minis, SEs, and compacts, but nobody else does - there are real technical problems with making small phones.

We seem to have reached a local minima with phone mainboard/CPU size. Generation over generation, the last 2-3 years worth of phones share similarly sized logic boards. So, as more and more internal footprint is dedicated to camera hardware, less and less is available for battery.

As phone chipsets appear to have also bottomed out on TDP and idle power, this means that either battery life gets worse, cameras get cut even more, or phones get bigger. Unless or until Apple make a small-phone _specific_ processor and introduce a new process with a stripped-down CPU (which will make the same HN readers mad, eye-roll), we're back to giant phones for now.
I know myself and a few other people settled on M1 MacBook Airs rather than waiting for Pros around that time. Part of the thought process was "what the hell, they're great computers and a Pro would cost n% more". I was fine compromising performance for having a machine I needed when I needed it, and saving some money in the interim.

It didn't make sense to wait several months when the M1 Airs are already great computers. If this was a common sentiment, they lost around $1500 from me alone, and perhaps a similar amount from many other people.

Actually no, paulpauper is spouting nonsense that he obviously doesn't understand. He stated that, "if you are sued for any matter no matter how frivolous, any attempt at withdrawing the money is illegal." That is factually, legally incorrect. Withdrawals by a defendant in a civil suit are only illegal in specific and rare circumstances that only apply in a small fraction of civil cases. Adding a bunch of weasel words to obfuscate the issue doesn't change that reality.

Unlike some of you, I have actually been in that situation and withdrew a bunch of money from my various bank accounts while the suit was pending for a couple years. This was 100% legal. (And in the end the suit was dismissed anyway.)

All assets are subject to seizure, whether they are in a bank or not.
> 1. Is selling trucks against the terms in general?

Probably not, but I can't rule it out. It's certainly an unusual thing to accept a credit card payment for, and the fact that vehicles are titled property may complicate matters.

> 2. This is a cell phone store selling a cell phone store truck. It's part of the business, not something unrelated.

No, it isn't. The business of a cell phone store is, generally speaking, going to be selling cell phones and cell phone accessories, and its merchant account will have been obtained with the understanding that it would only be used for charges related to those products. It isn't in the business of selling cash registers or furniture or trucks, even if it may happen to possess those things as a business; if it wants to sell those things, it needs to accept payment through some other means.
They will give you a loaner but I think the vast majority of Americans live close enough to an Apple Store where they'll swap the battery in 30-60 minutes. I pop in, drop the phone off, go fuck off for a beer or two, come back to a fresh new battery. Super straightforward.
Early in his career, Tim Cook called himself the "Attila the Hun of Inventory", meaning he knew how to handle a supply chain so aggressively that the firms he managed (Compaq at the time) didn't need to carry that very expensive inventory. It could be obliterated.

He has only gotten better at it since then.

Apple is supply-chain constrained today, especially around Macs. But it has managed this difficult supply-environment way, way better than most other firms.
Hey there, and thanks for using Retool! I’m a PM at Retool working on supporting more external-facing use cases like yours – if you’re open to it, would love to chat about the app you have in mind. Mind shooting me an email at Jamie@retool.com

If you target the very wealthy, it's a very tiny burden to make them do paperwork to explain the origin of their money. In a situation like that, you can achieve due process without presumption of innocence.
According to this page [1] it's Ubuntu, CentOS and Amazon Linux at the moment, and Fedora is underway. I don't know much about Windows because am not considering Windows as a backend OS and I can imagine it would be problematic to support. Swift grew in the UNIX environment and it usually requires some serious effort to port UNIX stuff to Windows. And then I don't even think it will ever be as reliable.

On the Linux front, there's Apple's SwiftNIO which is a generic lower-level framework that itself is not an out-of-the-box web or API framework. You need another extra layer above it, which is for example this community-driven project called Vapor [2]

You can, in principle, build a e.g. JSON API based on barebones SwiftNIO and you will save a lot of 3rd party dependencies in this case, but this path is a bit masochistic, you really need to know what you are doing in this case. Vapor is much easier to jumpstart any kind of server project with.

The antitrust case was only partially about the bundling, the fundamental issue was MS's abuse of their monopoly position in the US market. Apple still is nowhere near that 95+% threshold that MS achieved with Windows on desktop PCs in the 90s.

> Two annual quarters of negative growth has been the informal (maybe even formal?) definition for a while now

No, it hasn't.

The informal rule of thumb is two consecutive (not annual) quarters.

But there have been recessions that didn't meet that (most recently, the most recent, two-month COVID recession), and non-recessions (most recently in 1947) that did. The actually definition from NBER is:

“The NBER's traditional definition of a recession is that it is a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and that lasts more than a few months. The committee's view is that while each of the three criteria—depth, diffusion, and duration—needs to be met individually to some degree, extreme conditions revealed by one criterion may partially offset weaker indications from another.”

Who cares what the median is, though I'm surprised it's not zero.

The average is much higher at 29 mcg, so each gram is a far more reasonable $35k. But the variability is enormous. Choose the right bills and it'll cost you just under $8k (and a fortune in acetonitrile, but you can recover that!).

Nice job, that's a fun little game! I am going to share this around.

I admit was little confused at first until I realized that the word fragments have to include the first letter of the word you're guessing, even though the first letter is already shown in front of the letter blanks on the left side. But it wasn't terribly hard to figure this out.

Looking forward to playing more, thanks for sharing your work.
Sorry, I'm just not following your point of view here. You said these things:

> I though we voted on issues, ideologies, directions-to-go-in and policy etc.

And I just explained that we are voting on these things and that disallowing politicians buying individual socks was one of the things that you categorized and that we are voting on.

So if you are arguing that we "vote in issues, etc." I'm just pointing out we do vote on issues and this is just one. So you either have to agree with what you said (and then agree with that I said), or refute your own comment. Your choice. There's no alternative to this scenario here.

> Agreed, but, More laws don't stop injustices, they just cause more people to have more interactions with law enforcement agents. I am not for that.

Then you propose no solution and expect things to just get worse indefinitely, without barriers, and for all of time. Which is kind of pointless and non-productive. Should we not have laws against murder or rape just because that begets more law enforcement?

The reason why you need the barycentric extension and can't just make up barycentric coordinates in your vertex shader like:

out vec3 vBarycentricCoords;
void main() {
...
// wrong
vBarycentricCoords = vec3(
gl_VertexID % 3 == 0 ? 1.0 : 0.0,
gl_VertexID % 3 == 1 ? 1.0 : 0.0,
gl_VertexID % 3 == 2 ? 1.0 : 0.0
);
...
}

is that one vertex might be shared by arbitrarily many triangles, so there would be no way to guarantee that two vertices don't end up with, say, (1, 0, 0). You would have to split all vertices with valence >= 2 beforehand in the way that game engines do for vertices along sharp edges, which would increase vertex shading load (because you would lose the post-transform cache) and bloat the sizes of the VBO/IBO. I guess you could also use geometry/tessellation shaders to address this problem as well, which would be faster than the pre-split approach but still slower than the technique described in the article (but would be fine if you're just using wireframe as a debugging aid). With the barycentric coordinates extension you don't need any of these hacks and can solve the distance-to-edge problem naturally.
I'm sorry; we are actively working on our pricing model right now. (We today launched a 5-seats-for-free plan: https://retool.com/blog/new-free-plan-2022/.) I think charging for end-users does make sense, but we need to think about exactly how much (as you note). Thank you for your feedback!

Oh, while we are actively thinking about pricing, if Retool is out of budget for you, please do reach out to david AT. We are always happy to be flexible on price; our goal is to convince more people that Retool is a better way for building CRUD software, not to maximize revenue. We never want pricing to a blocker for anybody. (Reaching out to me is obviously not a long-term solution, but is a good one while we think about what our future pricing plans look like.)
My mental model is similar, except it's "is there/should there be a page for this"?
Answers here are missing the point. McDonald's is 2.2 miles away from you. But the delivery driver is not at McDonalds. They need to go to McDonald's, wait for your order to be finished, probably pick up other orders, and then go deliver it to you. Then they need to wait for another order. If they're coming in hot its probably no big deal. If they actually need to wait then their driver income goes down per hour. Which means Uber needs to pay them more per order to make this worthwhile to engage with.

If McDonalds had people on site to deliver it would be cheaper. But it still has to be pricey enough that they can afford to pay the delivery guy, per hour, enough to make it worthwhile.
Thanks!

I agree and I remember those days. However, I think there is a distinction between browser improvements vs web usability.

I’m moreso talking about _how_ people design sites for the web and how poor design choices lead to poor usability.

> Note that you also characterized the law as providing an upper bound on lease terms, when actually it's the opposite:

> > such as ground leases must be 30 years or more except a fixed-term ground lease, which must be 50 years or more

I quote from the article I shared with you:

> The initial period is 30 years, regardless of the building structure. The lease can then be renewed for 20 years at the first renewal, then ten years thereafter. This differs from the the Old Land Lease in that under the old law, the initial lease period is different depending on the building structure.

and this for fixed-term ground lease:

> The lease contract period is ten years or more and less than 50 years.

Which means we have two articles that are in disagreement but that is irrelevant because again, I am not proposing to use Japanese law verbatim.

> I disagree with most everything you say, and I am not sure further discussion would be productive.
