As others have said, it varies greatly. I've seen COOs with some focus on process/productivity improvement, but most I see are too bogged down with operational details, fixing messes, vetting vendors, or a host of other things to work on that. And while they may encourage others toward deep work, in my experience COOs are very unlikely to get much deep work in themselves, so keep that in mind.

What you like to do is often what consultants are brought in for. Consulting has its pros and cons, of course, and it's likely that someone with a pure engineering background will need at least significant management experience or some PM certs to look good for that.

As an aside, I'm a firm believer in the idea that GTD or GTD-lite for the workplace, with meetings and project reporting focused on next-actions and an expectation that people keep up with weekly reviews, is one of the best things a company can do for itself.
I used to have a roommate (who has several accidents on his record) with the exact same model of Toyota Corolla that I had. We’d frequently go on trips together.

My driving experience: very rarely have a PCS audible warning when conditions change unexpectedly on the 10 (SoCal). Braking activated once or maybe twice in three years.

His experience: constant “false” alarms from the system, several instances of pedestrians and vehicles “coming out of nowhere” that passenger saw 10+ seconds away, several instances of slamming on the brakes, both machine and human-activated.

Some people just don’t treat driving as the life safety critical activity that it is. Most people.
If you can't sell those 15-minute intervals to someone else, you should probably bill them anyhow. If the customer thinks you are expensive then drop the price a bit, you know what you did so round the final number down to a nice even number.

In the future, try to be more diligent, both for your customers and for you. In the future you'll be able to fit more clients in, and your customers will get a better price.
I really like much of the IA's past work, but this latest battle with the publishers is just ill advised. If people worked long and hard on something, they deserve the right to prevent it from being given away for free.
I’m not comfortable at all claiming that you’re a bad driver in general, like the GP proposes, and maybe I’m taking your unit of measurement too literally, but I don’t think 1-2 car lengths is a reasonable follow distance in almost any circumstances above 45mph, two lengths is kinda the minimum to not bother the person in front of you. Again, I’m making a very general statement, that might not apply to the situations you’re describing.

And I’m a young guy that is working on being a more conservative driver myself - so I’m chuckling to myself just at the idea of me taking this side of the discussion.

A MHz-POP is just bandwidth times population covered by the Geographic Service Area (i.e., where the company is licensed to operate). For example, in the US, they would have 11.5 MHz x 330 M = 3.79 Billion MHz-POP.
Same applies to bitcoin unless you bought in last 12 months or so
TSMC is building a huge fab here in America. It's a couple/few years out, but that would do a lot to alleviate this risk. And it could be rushed if it were prioritized as an American National Security Project.

There are different kinds of error.

There are some errors which aren't the fault of your code (say a timeout or a network connection not working) and it makes sense in cases like that to bend not break.

In the case above it is really is your fault that the error is happening and you should fix it as soon as possible.
good points. a few things jumped out at me from https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2022/11/emergency-sos-via-sat...

"A $450 million investment from Apple’s Advanced Manufacturing Fund provides the critical infrastructure that supports Emergency SOS via satellite for iPhone 14 models."

"Once received by a ground station, the message is routed to emergency services that can dispatch help, or a relay center with Apple-trained emergency specialists if local emergency services cannot receive text messages."

"In 2021, Apple announced an acceleration in its US investments, with plans to make new contributions of more than $430 billion over a five-year period."

Apple has probably given this some thought.
Yep, this factoid goes in cycles just like the price. If anyone is interested in diving deeper, the indicator to look at is called MVRV (Market Value to Realized Value). During time periods when it's less than 1, the average investor is carrying a loss, and > 1 means carrying a profit. Historically every halving it has spent some time below 1, and this time around we're right on schedule.

I think his point is that while it was bought with real money, it couldn't be sold for real money.

If I buy 50 RandoCoins for $1 today, tomorrow it shows that it's now valued at $2, and then the next day RandoCoin is hacked and all the coins are stolen, I didn't really lose $100, I only lost $50.

So he's wondering if the value of loss is being expressed as the money used the purchase the coins or the perceived value of the coins.
Strongly agree -- this is where tabs as artifacts becomes useful. I don't necessarily feel that we need to eliminate tabs in favor of "virtual" tabs but that we can contain the "tab explosion" problem. One thing I do frequently is do a middle-click-on-back-button to navigate backwards but keep the current tab open; the enhancement here would be that this would be a cost-free and non-context-losing operation.
That's interesting. I wouldn't be surprised. Thank you.
It's an extremely inefficient way of going about it. If they wanted to improve the health of Wikipedia, they could directly hire people to do that, and results would happen sooner.
Google's and Microsoft's, sure.
Yes, that would include me.

We really should work on software reliability.

As for humans, 35,000 Americans die every year on the roads and 6 million accidents occur.

I think we should be able to get software reliable enough to reduce that by 10x

> How much does it cost?

Surely no more than $20m/year. Hosting costs are $2m/year. $18m/year is plenty for the remaining staff you actually need.

If you look back through their accounts you can see that it did used to cost much much less than it does now.
Same here, previous generation of bmw 5 series, the warnings happen often in non-standard but completely safe situations that human can easily assess (ie full parking lane starting on the right in lane that was driving one 50m before, with very clear signs and good visibility).

Or in situation when I am already breaking ie to full stop hard with enough breaking room and it still pops up the warnings. Sometimes just warnings out of blue, in the middle of an empty road. Me and my family are very happy no automated breaking is integrated into that car, its current state would kill us sooner or later.
I hope I won't start yet another flamewar.. Have you tried D?

It's also a language I'd call pragmatic.

What, like this about Celsius' collapse (by the same author as this piece):

Or this about the crypto soccer team?

https://archive.ph/dvSv6

Most of the negative coverage I see using your suggestion is very recent, or around specific events, or by op-ed contributors. But they have the "expert" David Yaffe-Bellany on staff to churn out feel-good crypto stories.

> This specific article is either grossly uninformed reporting or politically motivated.

I know people like to find conspiracies, but I think you can safely leave the politics out of it. To me it looks like they put a crypto bro in charge of reporting crucial crypto failures, rather than to default assuming that the entire space is full of fraudsters and crime and putting a real reporter on it.
You have to point the phone at the sky for long periods of time AND track the sat position in the sky while you do it. It's probably some long spread spectrum approach (lots of processing gain), as well as I'm sure a bunch of other cool tricks/techniques.
Is that true? At least in the US, the "vast majority of people who invest" are probably people with 401ks and not much else. In that case, most people who invest do not lose money.
I get that this article is on 9to5mac, but can they lay off the Apple references for just a breath?

Apple is TSMC's largest single customer, but they're only ~25% of their revenue. Is this an article about Berkshire Hathaway, TSMC, or Apple?

I agree that orgs of all sizes should use SSO. The pricing should scale appropriately.

But as we have seen, companies are not doing enough to secure the sustainability of the open source software they rely on for their businesses, and I think a balance needs to be struck.
Yes, and if their banner ads for donations focused on that then many of would be more comfortable donating. Our concern is their deceptive ads that give the impression that Wikipedia is struggling to pay the bills for serving Wikipedia.
I don't think this is correct. The Marconi Company started broadcasting a couple of years earlier, but I don't know of any others. The BBC was one of the first, and I certainly don't think that there had been any "broadcasting for many years before".
> luxury cars will exist in a world without gas stations too and, unlike a sport car and due to how electric motors work, this car is probably more efficient than a cheap electric car.

Yup, this is one of the reasons I got a Model 3 Performance rather than a Nissan GT-R.

Incredibly powerful ICEs end up being horribly inefficient. Having 500+ horsepower means getting 20 mpg while cruising.

There's probably a limit, where having larger motors starts to lower efficiency, but at the ~450 hp level of a M3P, it isn't being hit.

It'd be interesting to see the range on this 412 kph Nevera when it cruises at 120 kph (~75 mph).
I'm not familiar with ARM64. What about it makes it hard to write assembly in it? Is this also true of ARM32 or RISC-V?
I tend to agree, especially in the situation described in that comment. I have a 2020 Subaru Outback that I believe has a very similar braking system, and while I have also experienced a small handful of false positives (especially when moving very slowly in a tight parking spot), I think the system is pretty good, and I do feel good about its ability to help at least a little bit if I ever really need it.

I’m willing to ignore the false positives when moving very slowly in tight parking spaces. That’s startling and annoying, but doesn’t really bug me too much. I believe you can also turn that off independently of the forward-facing road-speed emergency braking feature (and you need to if you have a trailer or bike rack).

As for false positives while at road speed, I think the actual brakes have only kicked in once or twice, and only very briefly (certainly not enough to slow me down so much that it could cause an accident). It’s a bit more common to get a false positive on the first stage of alert, which in my car is an audible alert and some red LEDs on the primitive heads up display.
I've been in the same boat. My resentment just built up over years, and for what? It just made me seem like an uptight arsehole. And I probably was too. Looking like I'm working used to be a (minor) concern of mine, but I'm more focused if it doesn't enter my mind.

Charge for your time. Don't stop the clock for meetings, short breaks, toilet etc. Lunch is debatable. If you go for a short lunch, with your work colleagues, then I'd probably bill. If you like to get out and clear your head and go and hermit somewhere for a full hour, I'd say probably not.

If there are weekly perk-style activities that happen in-hours (Table-tennis, multiplayer games, etc.,) bill them. Otherwise your boss is just making you stay in the office playing vidya for free when you could be going home to your kids. If an after-work activity starts early, e.g. drinks at 4:30 followed by a team dinner at 6:30, I'd probably bill up until when I would have usually worked until (so 5:00 or 5:30).

One time I went and got coffee with some of my teammates in the cafeteria, and we sat around for a while and chatted. Later I was quietly praised by my manager for making that happen. Because his job was to make sure we could actually get along and produce work together.
Have you ever looked up stopping distances?

https://www.automotive-fleet.com/driver-care/239402/driver-c...

I don’t know how accurate the above is, but it suggest that the stopping distance at 40mph is 5-9 car lengths, so I have to agree with the above poster that if you are routinely leaving one car length and your car system is freaking out, you are probably driving unsafely.

Keep in my that statistically this could work out for you fine for 20+ years before one day you get into accident, and presumably blaming the driver who suddenly stopped mid turn.

Check out watchpeopledie or idiotsincars for plenty of videos of what could go wrong. I recall one video of exactly this issue — an idiot SUV stopped mid turn in the middle of a lane, clearly a bad driver. And then another driver t-boned her because he didn’t have enough distance to stop, also cleary partially at fault IMO.

I know people with lifelong pain from minor auto accidents. Don’t have that be you, or cause that for someone else. What do you lose by keeping some more space between you and the next car?

It's a bit of a stretch to compare software overriding intentional input from the driver to the introduction of seatbelts.
> 'Sometimes, though, I will allow the distance between myself and the next car to close, for example, if they're turning and will be gone in a second...'

I often wonder what advantage in life people think they are gaining by this behaviour. Care to share?
As the sibling comment points out, assuming Wikipedia's endowment sees 5% returns, it needs to be $54 million just to cover Wikipedia's hosting expenses. That doesn't cover any other Wikipedia/Wikimedia expenses like their full time staff or other OpEx.

If the endowment gets less than 5% returns it needs to be that much larger to cover expenses.

Perhaps we should ask people that bought iTruth for $299. But seriously, you are way too trusting of corporations and their public statements.
The fact he publicly stated this guy was fired is all the proof you need Elon cares deeply about how he's perceived by his fellow edgelords.
> "Vast Majority of People Who Invest Inevitably Lose Money". Yep. That's always held true.

I don't think that's true, otherwise people wouldn't pile so much money into stock funds in their 401ks.
Such a great feature, both of my last cars had this "presense" breaking. I was never really in a situation where it was critical, but the feeling that the breaks are already in a ready state (touch it slightly and you knew a little bit more will do hard breaking instead of going all the way) when I was touching it felt pretty reassuring and a little magic at the same time.
The concern isn't that they are 'imperfectly spending the funds'. It's that they are at best lying by omission in their fundraising efforts.

No reasonable person who donated in response to a 'help keep wikipedia online' prompt would expect the money to be spent funding 'STEM as a tool for social justice'.
In this case the solution (cross-coverage) worked for that organization. However I agree that more often than not, it won't work.

I didn't have the word-count to go into this (that could be the topic of an entire book... or at least a chapter of The Practice of Cloud System Administration [https://the-cloud-book.com/]).

That said, my personal rule of thumb is: 6 is the minimum for an oncall roster; 5 if there is another team doing follow-the-sun coverage. YMMV of course.

Does InReach require a monthly cost?

Alternatively, you can spend about $200 one time on a personal locator beacon that requires no ongoing costs. It can't do two-way communication but activating it sends out a specific frequency picked up by satellites and is the equivalent of calling 911. Rescuers will come to help you.

All serious hikers and outdoor adventurers should carry a personal locator beacon.
"Inevitably" lose money?

What this paper finds is that (from 2015-2022), people tend to buy when BTC is making new peaks, and so they are buying high and then so far are not in a position to sell for a profit.

I strongly expect that if you tracked people who in the relatively recent past have bought any other asset that had a rise and then a big spike during the pandemic, you'd see something similar.
DeFi, the various bridges they tend to use, etc have suffered hacks in the billions[0]. Turns out that smart contracts have bugs like every piece of software ever written and opsec is hard. Then, like all things with non-custodial crypto wallets lets consider how many have been individually cleaned out from phishing, clicking the wrong link, the ridiculously complex nature of the entire space, and poor UI/UX all over. Plus there's the tendency for people to lose access to their wallets forever... I known some very sophisticated people in the space that have been burnt by all of these issues and more.

From what I've seen it's basically at a point now where hacking a DeFi bridge essentially guarantees that you can keep 10% as that seems to be the standard for "bug bounties" now. That is, of course, unless you keep 100%...

It's very likely that if DeFi as a whole had the user base of FTX (or major centralized $EXCHANGE) the losses would be similar if not higher. The only thing that has stopped this from happening is the fact that the average centralized exchange user doesn't have a chance of figuring out how to do DeFi (see points above).

True but this critique more or less applies to real money as well. Inflation does seem to be a naturally emergent property of every healthy monetary system ever created so I don't think that this is necessarily a problem. And transaction fees are a fact of life. The objection here is a matter of degree more than of kind.
This is an interesting point. The Subaru's adaptive cruise control system treats a "car length" as a fairly large unit of measurement. One car length seems to be the literal length of the vehicle, plus some reasonable amount of buffer on both ends. Probably twice as large as the vehicle itself. And the faster you're going, the larger a single car length becomes. Infinite nuance :P

But in general, very good commentary on systems that provide useful feedback for the human operator versus ones that don't. ACC makes it clear what a car length should be, and if you're paying attention you can gauge how much more space it leaves when you're moving fast. So that's what I go by.

Maybe I should've said "cleaning". Camping/offroading, it gets pretty grimy both inside and out. Hand carwashes here do the outside clean/wipe and then an interior clean (vacuum, wipe, etc). I tried to replicate it, but never to their quality.
Right. Naming fraud is a speculation, but I don’t disagree that an editorial decision has been made here (and questioning why is appropriate).
> You shouldn't need it if everything else goes perfectly, but it doesn't hurt to have it.

That's not how I see it. Computers react faster than humans even setting aside the mechanical delay of lifting your foot, moving it, and pressing it down again.

It's more like running a linter on your code. 99.99% of the time it isn't necessary and you already knew what it was going to say, but the one time it does catch something important it's a life saver.
I was confused, because the parent comment says:

> For Emergency services there is no “activate and pay later” because you don’t need to activate, and you don’t need to pay. If you have an iPhone 14 it’s supposed to just work if you’re calling 911.

The Emergency SOS seems explicitly to require activation, and to have a cost (eventually):

> The service will be included for free for two years starting at the time of activation of a new iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, iPhone 14 Pro, and iPhone 14 Pro Max.4

So I assumed that the parent was referring to just calling 911 using the normal cell network, which can indeed be done, on any mobile phone (that is able to dial, of course), without activation or payment.
Yes and no.

I mean, I think this is absolutely the killer feature of Nix (even above the more accessible asdf, since Nix will also provide native libraries); it's really nice to get a development environment which will Just Work. (OP's frustration isn't unusual).

On the other hand, Nix doesn't make problems disappear; and can require having a deep understanding of what the problem encountered is. OP ran into problems trying to get a project which had worked on (presumably) x86_64 macOS, but didn't work on M1.
The "Internet Hosting" line doesn't mean what some seem to think or imply it does. There's a ton of non-volunteer work that must happen to make any use of that hosting bill (software + infrastructure engineering teams, and obviously lots of other departments a functioning organization should have). There are valid debates to be had about how Wikipedia asks for and uses donations, but trying to imply that it only takes ~$3M/yr to "run" Wikipedia and the rest is useless bloat is hyperbolic fantasy and completely unhelpful.

Sweden burns trash for electricity. But they also recycle too well. They reached a point where they were scrambling to import enough trash to run their electric plants. I don’t disagree in principle, but this is a (very limited) counterpoint where trash exports are a positive thing.
