Slack has highly configurable notifications. Nobody sane is expecting anyone to read and react to 100+ channels in real time.

One important thing to realize is that you are ultimately working with humans. There isn't and never will be magical tool that will shield you from this.

You can either establish clear boundaries acceptable for both sides and configure notifications accordingly or change your group of humans to another, which will accept your pattern of communication.

If neither is possible, then yes - it's your problem not theirs or the tool's.
You could replace Amazon with any other company and it would make no difference (bar on calls).
As others have said, these are essentially scalpers - the authorized retailers still have at the original price, but as a result are also sell out quickly whenever there's any stock. https://rpilocator.com is a tracker of availability in various sellers. But stock has been super scarce - i believe they are prioritizing business customers.

"the whole concept of getting a college degree isn't much different - its not about what you learn in the classes, it just shows that you have the capacity to go through an arbitrary social experience, follow a bunch of rules, learn some stuff, and stick with it for a few years - pretty similar to a job"

It makes me sad when I hear people say things like this. A college education has the potential to be so much more than this.

I took a poetry class, despite not being particularly interested in or appreciative of poetry and it opened my eyes and made me a life-long lover of poetry ever since. Philosophy courses taught me how to think more rigorously and question things many other people take for granted.

There were many other courses which weren't required for my degree that I sampled and wound up loving and learning to appreciate things I never would have otherwise been exposed to... even changing my major because of some of them.

I didn't even have any truly amazing teachers either, so I can only imagine how much better is the college experience of those who do. Having great classmates who inspire and motivate you can be fantastic too... not to mention the potential to make connections and broaden your horizons in all sorts of academic and non-academic ways.

College can change your life, change the way you think, open your mind and open your eyes, and so much more.
> I don't/can't/won't fall for the idea that 'HN=advertisement'; it's simply not true

This is how you know HN is an absolutely fantastic ad. People who “hate” ads will fall all over themselves to explain why this ad isn’t an ad. “You see it’s different because reasons. I would never like an ad.”

I do believe the other reasons people engage here are real. But the fundamental underlying reason this place exists is for marketing and advertising for a VC firm.
Oh lovely. OSE is still doing good. I remember reading up on the project a decade or so ago back when it was basically just a wiki and a handful of engineers.

The project is pretty well thought out and extremely ambitious. I can only hope they continue to make good progress on it.
> applying these principles to maintaining an edible polyculture ecosystem-farm

Yup, actually if you read between the edits toward the end of the video I think this is in the minds of those working on it, not sure why it wasn't focused on more, perhaps because it sounds less immediately practical... once the automation is somewhat intelligent, the need for a monoculture for viable large scale agriculture is diminished.

In fact at a certain point of sophistication, especially when harvesting a polyculture becomes viable, it will probably flip and become significantly more profitable long term to abandon monoculture... since the soil health will improve over time which also improves yields.
This is not how it works, though. Your damage compounds with the damage of others, it doesn't negate it.

Kids who go through Montessori, Waldorf, etc, have a much better foundation for dealing with damaged people. If you start from a place of self-respect and expect the same of others, you can recognize when others aren't going to reciprocate and you can cope with that.
A very good question for which I haven't been able to find any official answers. Here are some thoughts:
- Wear of the cable at the shore ends. Just as abseiling reduces wear on rope compared to lowering, ferry mounted drive means limited dragging across what could be possibly very abrasive surfaces at each shore (sand, rocks, etc). Instead cables get lifted up and lowered down gently.
- A cable ferry pulls tension on one side allowing the other side to drop down. If you've ever navigated around a busy cable ferry you'll know that you don't wait for it to stop at either side, you just pass behind it based on current direction. To replicate this functionality you'd need motors for pulling from either side (which you've identified). In that light an electrical cable running to the centre is a quite efficient solution.
- The ferry could require power anyway for a range of functions like raising and lowering the drawbridge (I wonder what the proper ferry term for this is).
I was told by a friend who has ~$30k of ether sitting in there either as ether or GUSD, I don't know which, we haven't talked about it since the crash for obvious reasons.

Obsolete doesn’t mean something has no possibility of being useful but rather that it’s no longer commonly used because there are better alternatives. My son’s beloved steam locomotives still run but nobody uses them for normal commercial service because they became obsolete shortly after the invention of diesel and electric.

> (of words, equipment, etc.) No longer in use; gone into disuse; disused or neglected (often in favour of something newer)

https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/obsolete

Bringing that full circle, telnet used to be common but it has security issues (lack of encryption or integrity unless you tunnel over TLS, lack of modern authentication options, etc.) and so anywhere it’s still used we should be looking in to replacing it.
Absolutely, swarms make a lot of sense.

Also, the key difference between a 'hard' challenge like self-driving cars and something like self-sustaining agriculture is that the reliability doesn't need to be 100%. An achievable target could be something like 'one human to operate the location'. Things will break, software will glitch, maintenance will be required - but that will be OK, as long as the issues can be corrected in a reasonable length of time.
Is there really any specific "one size fits all" problem to even utilize the skills?

Climate is different everywhere. The color palette in different regions are more than just latitude. Dry, wet, hot, cold.... It depends.

Cultures are different. I doubt the same page exists for many cultures. "Been there, done that" is a loaded philosophy in the 21st century.

Customs are different everywhere. Kinda makes you want to high-five everybody in the middle east with your left hand and give a thumbs up to every aussie you meet.

Lifestyle is different. Just using longevity as an example is what makes mediterranean diets and certain asian lifestyles unique among a crowd.

Perspective is usually a combination of each, so "one size fits all" is usually a watered down concept.

With the age of compute in full swing, the fabricated numbers from decades prior lets you know some generations do it differently as well.
4 deaths per 50 million miles means it’s just under 1 death per 10 million miles. That would put riding a one wheel for 1 mile at the same risk as biking 1 mile, walking 2 miles, or driving 25 miles[1]. That is of course only looking at death and not serious injury.

Still, as other people have mentioned there are solutions Future Motion has been avoiding that would significantly lower the risk. Adding small wheels on each side in case of nosedives, or adding a loud audible warning in case of low battery or max speed being reached rather than just a subtle physical alert are two that have been suggested here and seem like they would make a big difference.

"Leetcode screens are a matter of grinding for a couple of weeks"

Did you have formal compsci training before you started studying for leetcode? Did you study algorithms before that?

Just wondering how hard it would be for someone who never got a compsci degree and knows nothing about algorithms.
I have worked in plenty of fast-moving and chaotic environments, and while I can see some stuff slipping through the cracks, it is hard to see something so core to your business getting this bad without realizing it.

Like, if you are releasing financial documents and a large entry is "HIDDEN POORLY INTERNALLY LABELED ACCOUNT.", it is hard to explain that without getting into outright malice or negligence so extreme that it is difficult to differentiate from malice. Even rudimentary reviews of their finances would have highlighted stuff like this, and they clearly had money to pay people to help them do it.
Same way you train any other faster-than-thinking response: lots and lots of practice.

> Is the difficulty of running a company proportional to the technical difficulty of the problems it attempts to solve? I believe there's a lot more to running a company than finding a solution to a technical problem without killing anyone in the process.

Twitter as it is ("public square") may be one of the hardest companies in the world to run. Not because of the technical problems, but because of the people problems. There are just no concrete solutions to most problems, and everything is constantly backsliding. You're basically trying to play mediator to all the political divide in America, without cutting the baby in half, and that's just the American audience! I recall Yishan pointing out that Jack meditated like 4 hours a day to handle it. But I also Suspect Elon cares a lot less about maintaining the public square component in the face of his debt, so that may make it a lot easier.
I have read that Twitter lost $270 million in 2021, and these folks were getting free lunches, working from home, and apparently enjoying a complete detachment from the realities of business. Now Mr. Musk and his team are trying to run Twitter more like a business; whether that's even possible given the product, I have no idea. Anyway he reportedly wants to turn it into a broader service provider similar to WeChat, with micropayments, streaming content, messaging and voice-video calling. Should be interesting to see how it goes, and also how many of the current employees will still be there in a year or two.
I didn't want to engage someone apparently so angry in that direction, but since you took time to respond kindly and share you experience, I will add my comment too.

The centering of autism as being something happening to "the parents" and framing autistic children (or adults, for that matter) as being unable to form human connections or acquiring basic skills is something a large part of autistic people are pushing against.

The #actuallyautistic tag on social media is a good way to find autistic people's experiences regarding that matter.

Something I wish was more widely known is what is being studied as the "double empathy problem", which frames communication issues between autistic and non-autistic people as a two-way misunderstanding, rather than autistic people being handicapped or incapable of social communication.
"artificial scarcity through predatory automation"

It's not artificial scarcity, though. The number of Pis or PS5s that get into the hands of end users is determined by the manufacturers. The scalpers only affect the allocation. Rather that the devices being allocated randomly among folks willing to pay the sticker price, they go only to the ones willing to pay the most.

I know a couple of people injured by the so-called non-bug and they have both dumped their one wheels and feel duped about it.

I hate to think that the whole idea is fatally flawed, but it should have enough reserve power to gracefully slow you down if the machine is in trouble. They guys I know, one is a very talented board sporter and broke his collarbone. He takes safety pretty seriously and felt like there was no warning and it just cut out on him. North of 10mph? That's a pretty good tumble for most people, you might not just pop up after it.

In the case of my friends, they knew they were going to get hurt, they were setting up ramps and trying to do tricks and things. They entered into it with that in mind and then decided it wasn't for them. Hard to imagine how a total civilian would approach such a device.

For those interested Landline the Australian farming (stock, agriculture and related) weekly news roundup [1] has been reporting on Agri-bots and automated farming regular for the past five years (and since ~1980 if you allow the early reporting on the sheep shearing robot project at UWA) [2].

In the vision augmented weed spray domain (the subject of this posted video) there has been reporting on both heavy tractor dragged units (for covering entire 1,000+ acre farms) and, perhaps more interestingly, lightweight solar powered spray bots that have minimal soil impact and intermittent deployment patterns.

Weeds patch up and spotting initial patches from air drones and then deploying a light spray bot to target individual weeeds is effective in many ways; kill time before spread, fuel usage (solar), minimal total deployment, soil impact, etc.

I hate this whole idea that coding is a creative (in the artistic sense) activity.

There's a limited number of solutions to a programming task, it's about finding the one that meets most constraints, it's about cost, effort, trade offs analysis and finally implementation.
Like others, not entirely sure what you mean here. May all-purpose "DB" or info store is OneNote, but I am making an effort to move as much as possible to TiddlyWiki this coming year.

TW is relatively future-proof, as it's just a single HTML file that encapsulates all of the content and app in a single file that can be moved anywhere or used in any browser, but it gives you powerful structuring, storage, and linking capabilities inside it. (I almost never use flat text files for reference any more except for the simplest things, or if a machine needs to read it...) It gives you the best of what your filesystem can do for you (and filesystems are DBs, especially these days) combined with browser/wiki capabilities, and you can even hack the JS if you're into that sort of thing. My perfect solution would munge together the capabilities of TiddlyWiki and Jupyter notebooks into one awesome live, flexible, portable, programmable metacontainer.

(I started on this with the first version of TW 20 years ago, combining test programs, data, and analysis/viz tools for sensor data collection into what I called "testacles" - test data receptacles capturing everything about a real-world test with IoT data, setup, docs, notes, code, data, etc. (I was building the world's first embedded IoT sensors at the time...))

BTW, thinking of adding BOOX's new Tab Ultra into my workflow - I've used pen on various Surface Pros for the last eight years (how OneNote became my go-to), but like the idea of not worrying about battery life. The Tab Ultra can run Android apps and a browser, so I should be able to use TW even if it's own pen note capture is too proprietary to be useful outside the device... we'll see.
Yes, I get what you're saying. At our old startup we didn't setup a bank account either, why bother, we just had investors deposit the money into our CEOs trading account, seemed easier that way.
I had a similar feeling about emails at my previous job. Turning off notifications didn’t really help, because when I’d see 15, or 50 emails piled up I felt this dreadful stew of emotions that I didn’t want to acknowledge and had no tools to handle. Leaving that job only partially helped me, it took weekly therapy sessions and introspection to figure out what was going on and to learn strategies to not get in the same predicament again.

Working at a FAANG you have benefit coverage to see a therapist. I highly recommend taking advantage of this to talk to a professional about the anxiety around Slack messages you are feeling.

If you don’t connect with the first therapist you find, try another. Your emotions are trying to tell you something, find someone who can help you figure out what the message is.
Considering that this idea has been around forever and that it isn’t nearly as expensive[1] as you might initially assume, I wonder why it isn’t a standard feature of most homes in cold climates.

I simply would not have told the truth about my fraudulent self-dealing to my friend who works at Vox
I'm no legal expert, but surely this requirement of mens rea doesn't actually require the defendant to know the specific law that they are violating. Surely it just requires that the defendant knows the basic facts of their actions that cause their actions to qualify as illegal under the law. In other words, if it's illegal to loan user deposits to yourself and gamble the money, and he knew that he was loaning user deposits to himself and gambling the money, then doesn't that count as mens rea even if he didn't know that it was illegal?
I'm curious why you moves from ScanSnap (which I use) to a Fujitsu. Just time for an upgrade, or do you prefer some newer feature(s)?

You're right, there is no way to cryptographically prove that there are no contracts external to the blockchain. The audit is from a purely "not your keys, not your coins" perspective. And there's no way to prove they won't go get some USD loans tomorrow either, since you can't cryptographically prove the future.

Your defense against these tail risks is to remember, "not your keys, not your coins", and self-custody when you're not actively exchanging. In the end you do have to hope that the < 1 hour it takes you to exchange your coins and transfer them back to your own wallet doesn't overlap with the moment they decide to torpedo their 10+ year old business with no prior warning or red flags. But these are infinitesimally small tail risks.
Maybe this is a false equivalence, but I think industrial scale leaching of poisons into the water supply is more terrifying and anything that can replace that is worth looking into.
