reading your comments brings back memories of the good ole days..Denver still has the best scene in the US. the Midwest holds it down too but its slowed down in recent years, except for infrasound which is always worth the trip out. ill never forget seeing Quest in the basement of a bookstore in downtown Minneapolis when i was randomly there many years ago. I'd love to go to the UK to see some shows, your lucky to have been there. recently, the youngsta, ntype, hatcha project Trilogy has got me wanting to hop on a plane. speaking of ntype, he's got some US shows in a few weeks.. some day id really like to send it to Outlook too. the brostep movement is fading, or atleast from my perspective it is, can't say I didn't partake back in the day, but I grew out of that fad pretty quick. however I will say, the loudest show I've ever been to was excision in Madison Wisconsin the first year he toured with the 100k Watt PK rig, before his style got really out of hand. to this day I haven't felt my insides vibrate like that again..unsettling to say the least
Looks pretty good. Congrats. You selected good examples that make it feel relatable for me.

Don’t love the price. I’m a big fan of small once/year pricing which makes it an impulse purchase… to justify this at $8/month I would need to actively be doing something with it
Right, but that has no bearing on response to viruses. Having the cold doesn't make it less likely for you catch the flu, for instance.

Then there is a net loss of an extra redecoration: one to prepare it for sale and another to prepare it to be lived in, rather than just one by the new owner.
>There are many flavors of markdown. We'd need a standards body, compatibility suites, etc., and for all the browser vendors to adopt it.

Well, if it were to be adopted by vendors, the many flavors would be a non-problem. They can just agree on a flavor and be down with it. There's CommonMark anyway, they can just use that.
5.4% in 1990 was the highest rate in an almost 40 year stretch. In 1991 it went down to 4.2% and then wasn't above 4% until last year.
> In the U.S., even widely recyclable soda and water bottles often end up in landfills

Arguably, this isn't a bad outcome. A lot of stuff that goes through the official recycling programs ends up in landfills! Landfills are cheap, effective, and safe. And if there is no market for low-quality recyclables, it's far superior to shipping them overseas to sit in open pits next to rivers.

> While other packaging alternatives exist, Smith says they all come with tradeoffs. Glass bottles, for example, have a larger carbon footprint than plastic during transportation, because they’re heavier. (Also, the recycling rate for glass in the U.S. is abysmally low.) The company is still experimenting with other solutions, including a paper bottle that could potentially be used with the new cap.

A good summary of why single use plastics are the current local minimum. It's at least nice to hear the industry regularly considers alternatives.

How is a manager not synonymous with a high bandwidth engineer? If I told an engineer to execute on an immensely huge and complex problem (e.g. go build a new secondary market with tendrils into everything else the company is doing) by themselves and they did, how is that different than telling a senior manager to do the same? Really depends on the lens you're looking through.
Now you're moving the goalpost. You originally implied FB making the web easy to write was the major innovation that lead to its success. I pointed out that simply giving people a dirt simple text box had been done many times before. There was nothing special about that part of FB.

I am not dumb enough to argue that FB wasn't hugely successful, so your attempt to shift the argument away from your original point is silly.
This doesn't sound unreasonable to me, especially as a solo developer. I think it's important to make sure your customers understand that they may not be able to download their installer in the future.

Perhaps sending an email reminder _n_ days before expiration of their one year free maintenance and reminding them of that (and perhaps offering an upsell to renew for an additional year of maintenance)
I agree with this argument to a degree. However, we are not comparing coats of arms, or Art Nouveau logos. We are clinging to this particular coat of arms, saying that it has much more individuality than the updated logo. Of course it does: the level of detail is different, it feels old and pompous. It has crowns. Three of them. It has Latin words. In all caps. Lots of character. Though probably looked completely generic when it was introduced in the 16-th century.

We overestimate the individuality and even the capacity for individuality of old things. Yes, anyone could add different squiggles and different Latin words -- but I doubt this is what you mean by "capacity for individuality within the style".

Modern logos are very minimalist, which I agree leaves less space for expressive individuality (basically by definition). But great modern logos are still possible, and they still often convey a deeper, more individual meaning.

It's a misunderstanding to think that retail traders are "up against" the trading desks of the big market makers: that implies that they're playing the same game, which is not the case.

The goal of a market maker is to trade as much as possible, on either side of the book, with the widest possible spread that remains competitive, while keeping within risk limits.

Most retail option strategies are based on beliefs about the behaviors of the underlying. Like, I think this stock is going to go up, so I'm going to trade a strategy that makes money when that happens (probably with some leverage, and hopefully with some downside protection).

They're not thinking about smile and calibrating stochastic volatility models and looking at their cross gamma and trading OTC exotics to lay-off their risk.

One strategy depends on discipline, scale, operational excellence, deep quantitative analysis and risk management. The other depends on clairvoyance.
> Why go through all the trouble if he could've just kept the company?

Because Chouinard is 83 and getting close to his inevitable death, which would have triggered a tax bill for his heirs on the order of $700 million. Because the family likely doesn't have $700 million in cash to pay that tax bill, they would almost certainly be forced to sell off a large portion of their equity in the company, thus losing control to outsiders who many not be fully aligned with the family's interests.

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-09-15/patagonia...

The scheme he just executed allows them to pay only $30 million in tax, and the family will be able to keep control for generations to come without ever triggering an estate tax as each member dies.

By the way, it's not just Chouinard. The Christian founder of Hobby Lobby just pulled the exact same move but "donating his company to God". https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2022/10/27/hob...

It's a marketing, tax avoidance, and power consolidation play. Nothing more.
Text messages (iMessages) can be displayed on lock screens. Not sure how they do that with encryption but maybe the notification is separate.
I see a lot of variations on these arbitrage and secrecy themes.

Arbitrage that sticks around for years: those are scams dude. They involve collusion, not intelligence. I understand it might not be illegal collusion, but if either side of the transaction being scammed found out, they would find someone else to work with.

Trust me, I know. I've worked in ad tech.
I think the issue is it's investing adjacent so theres the risk of people seeing it as an investment, or at least > a zero sum game, where I fact it's < a zero sum game.

It's also an open question whether non sophisticated traders / investors should be allowed access to more complicated investments. For me leveraging falls on the wrong side of the line. We saw what happened in 1929.
> Wow, I thought this had to be a joke, but how the heck does someone screw something up so badly?

Inadequate testing. In hindsight, they should have generated all the messages for a year, for every country, and then sent them to their marketing teams for each country for review.
It works just fine on my iPhone 12 Mini, which has (basically) the same RAM, so it seems like it's something else. They're basically the same phone in general though, so I would be surprised if it was a hardware issue.
Additionally, as someone with very small pupillary distance, none of the existing headsets on the market are applicable to me. At this point I've written off VR entirely as I don't think any company will ever design for someone like me.

But when we have control structures built on top of yaml (like ansible's `loop`, or `when`), we might as well just use proper programming language.
While I don't think it's as big of a crime as this article makes it out to be (and I personally prefer the look of sans-serif fonts), I still don't see what's "clever" about the logo - it seems like a generic O with an unpleasant proportion of full vs striped portions. The striped portion can be take to look sort of like the pages of a book being flipped, but only if you know the context - otherwise the first thought would be tire marks or perhaps a keyboard.
I blame xterm.

Control sequences should not trigger key presses. That's a recipe for disaster.

I think its entirely reasonable for a terminal program to bind any key it wants to execute a command.

Sure thing. "Collecting data from various sources" can become a very difficult problem (depending on the data, depending on the sources...)

It doesn't necessarily change any of my earlier suggestions (especially on the mockup). But, if this is the nature of your problem and you haven't got a CTO and you're actually serious about building this thing, then you have to level up your coding skills at least to the point you can collect SOME data from SOME sources.

Misleading implies the data has some agency. Data cannot be misleading. People can make whatever conclusions they want based on data at hand and it’s just bad analysis if it’s wrong. The data didn't mislead them.
Perhaps it’s a data jurisdiction issue? Are you deploying in their region? If it’s only data sensitivity can you provide regular ability to backup and also export data, as that may alleviate issues there.

Absolutely.

Materials science is hard.

It's one thing to 3d print the design, it's another to get the recipe for a plastic just right and a manufacturing process where the tolerances are perfect to make something like this work.
And it's not even a theoretical issue. Look at the energy component of CPI. And then consider how that flows through to food and transportation. It is very possible that the vast majority of what we are seeing is the result of a big jump in energy prices over a few months, 8-10 months ago.
> Frankly, I think all of the buildings from your link 4 look breathtaking. [..] But part of the beauty of architecture is seeing different styles.

And if there was a multitude of styles being built, I would be inclined to agree to disagree, subjective opinions will differ, and leave it at that. But they are not - 90%, if not more, of new buildings, especially large ones, all strive for that minimalist, steel & glass, unpleasant sterile aesthetic. It is not 30% modernist monstrosities, 30% art deco skycrapers, 30% art noveau, 10% classical revival.

> I'm sure architects will eventually have their fill with brutalism

Ironically I am quite fond of some brutalist buildings. They can be quite pleasant. But if any of those count as brutalist, they are far too 'cold' for my taste. Again, that would not be a problem if it wasn't all of architecture striving for that same 'cold' aesthetic.
The fatal flaw of HTML (and XML for that matter) is that the tags have the same visual weight as the text they're delimiting, which makes for a sense of clutter even in your minimal example.

Markdown really scores here, by having a pleasing plain text representation as a goal from the outset, and I've love to see it used more widely for web pages.

I'd also love to see it more widely used for offline reading, too - the help files in an application really shouldn't need to invoke a web browser to view them when a lightweight markdown viewer would do the job. Not that there is a lightweight markdown viewer, mind you!
Payment for Order Flow was invented by Bernie Madoff. I believe many of the technical and complex Wall St. "products" like that are probably scams if it were laid out in laymans terms. Not products that retail/brokerage account holders use like buying a stock, ETF's or those "20XX Retirement Fund" - I'm talking about the obtuse derivatives and other "products" that Wall Street invents for themselves.

Edit to add: PFOF is the mechanism that Robinhood (and others) make money on - back of house Wall St. pays Robinhood for the order flow.
It was also certainly not becoming the Madoff of crypto.

Just my 2 cents, but I think you should host the legacy installers. You'll have to take some trouble to make it clear that they're unsupported, and made available only as a courtesy to legacy customers. But why not do it? People are bound to lose the one they downloaded and it seems harsh that they own a perpetual license to the software, and you have a copy of it somewhere, but they have no way to access it.

Otherwise, what's the value of having a perpetual license?
According to Wikipedia a Ponzi scheme

So if they are paying yield while actually losing money and covering it up by recruiting new clients then it's a Ponzi scheme.
> I don’t think anyone expected how difficult and expensive it would be

I agree with the rest of your post, but this might be more of an "anyone inside of Meta" scenario. There's plenty of skeptics around short-term VR (myself included). Getting a non-technical audience into it is going to require a set of massive technological innovations, imho, both in software and hardware.

Even then, having your vision be completely blocked to the outside world is not something casual users are going to enjoy for any extended amount of time or frequency.

If I'm writing a post and my kid or dog or friend needs my attention, I can set the phone down for a second. If I'm in VR, the best I can hope for is a button that makes the screen transparent so that my eyes can see (and be seen!) again short of reaching up to my face, taking my head gear off, then putting it back on. Even then, the immersion is completely broken.
In other languages the async paradigm work for multiple kind of workflows, not just heavily IO bound ones.

You touch on a few good points. The key is how leadership is defined. I use the definition that leadership is an act not a position, and driving change is the act of leadership.

In roles of routine tasks, execution, efficiency and repetition is the task. It take management or monitoring but not necessarily leadership.

Leaderless teams actually are the best way to deal with highly ambiguous challenges where the path is unclear and the best people to figure it out are the people doing the work, not a manager or monitor.

So the leaderless team exercise identifies individual who do well in ambiguous situations. They may actually fail or get bored in situations without dynamic tasks/goals.
If discarding the old, traditional, inherited logo, and adopting a new one in line with current trends, with the intent to show a commitment to "diversity & inclusion", is "conservative", then the word can really mean whatever you want it to mean, can't it?
Exactly what I was thinking, by omitting the <html> <head> and <body> HTML can be quite concise [1]. Additionally the closing </li> can be omitted from lists and <li> barely a step over using - for bullet points.

The worst part about HTML is the links, though. Anchor tags are awful. Having to repeatedly type <a href="..."> and closing with </a> is wayyy too boilerplate much for for something that is simply surrounded with [square](brackets) in markdown.

I think, on average, well informed Democrats tend to perceive well informed Republicans as bigots because the Republican national party platform is unabashedly bigoted toward many minority communities.

Less informed Republicans are perceived in a mix of ways but it's usually a ratio of bigot and rube (for voting against their own best economic and social interests).

Republicans conversely seem to perceive well informed Democrats as ne'er do wells who want to harm their children and destroy civilization by way of sexual immorality, increased criminality and failure to protect the nation/economy while less informed Democrats are seen as immature and naive.

A better example is the IRS with a double standard of overzealous enforcement against individuals and small business who cannot defend themselves and complete non-enforcement against higher tiers of wealthy.

In the case of the SEC or FDIC, this has resulted in the near elimination of smaller fish aside from protective carveouts like the Durbin Exempt Interchange.

Yeah if it's a potentially life saving treatment you really need that design that allows peeking at the results.
It really depends on the congruency between orthogonal tasks. Painting walls and laying carpet are diametrically opposed and are mutually exclusive. There are other mixed contexts that don't attribute this trait, e.g. I can make updates to multiple disparate ad products in tandem which independently have impact on a central ad server while also introducing new caches to the ad server without exceeding the risk threshold of making such changes at once. This kind of thing happens every day.
