>So you’d say to yourself, well clearly they’re targeting the affluent then. Except there are only so many high income Americans you can sell to

They're targeting high net worth individuals looking for a store of value (or, in some cases, a foothold/bolthole from their repressive government).

High income Americans are to these flats what jewellery/smartphones are to gold - the underlying use value that, combined with natural scarcity, drives the hoarding instinct.

It's quite possible to pull the rug out from under the feet of the ultrawealthy by instituting a steep land value tax. This would kill the hoarding instinct, kill the NIMBY instinct and drive more efficient use of land.
OSM is usually better in Europe. Even some rural paths were mapped as streets in Google maps. But in USA it is probably other way around.
Apple's "privacy" is really just data protection from other competing companies. It was just another marketing campaign to maintain their positive image.
I just recently clicked on an App Store ad for the first time. It was on a desperate search for an IPTV that didn’t suck.

I was hoping it might be good considering the dev was paying for ads, it was not.
Pretty normal.

I joined a larger (tech) company a few years ago, best thing I've ever done. Instead of jumping companies I just jump teams.

Need to be productive to get the team switches but that's not too hard.
Yeah when I left where I grew up and finally had the space to synthesize my experiences in poverty, I began to call the attitude I saw when growing up "learned helplessness." When everything that can go wrong does, you learn to stop striving, as high expectations just lead to failure and shame (like the article's volcano anecdote.)

I was lucky. I was able to leverage the US education system to rise far above where I grew up, so I left at 18 when I was still young and hadn't been permanently ground down. Even though I've had a very successful career (beyond anything I could dream of as a kid, truly) I still struggle socially a bit in tech. So many American tech people grew up in the same milieu of upper-middle class American suburbia that their attitudes, (not voting but simply interpersonal) politics, and experiences are both homogeneous and yet extremely different from mine. So many smart people I work with and am friends with talk about their exhausting childhood being pushed from activity to activity that I can never connect with. And yes, sometimes I'm insensitive that friends of mine complain about parental pressure because my parents never had the resources to even send me to any of those activities. That I had parents in a stable marriage itself was a virtue where I grew up.

It's still crazy to me that I work with engineers who are second, sometimes third generation programmers. I had friends who couldn't even afford a computer until adulthood.
I don't think this criticism is fair. For example, the article in the section quoted below clarifies that string theory hasn't been proven experimentally, and is being investigated mathematically, here:

> But string theory is difficult to understand—it lives in mathematical territory that has taken physicists and mathematicians decades to explore. Much of the theory’s structure is still uncharted, expeditions still planned and maps left to be made. Within this new realm, the main technique for navigation is through mathematical dualities—correspondences between one kind of system and another.

I'm not really sure.. Expiring tax incentives for home energy choices seem to deliver points where one knew it was better to invest before the expiration than in the 12-36 months after the credit was gone. Devices reaching limits of a current system can also drive people to buy as devices that are much more sophisticated are often a longer wait than incremental improvements.
> a deteriorating company culture

Could you elaborate on this? Genuine question, because how Apple is so successful is a complete mystery to me.

I worked there during the pandemic and my experience was that there is no company culture, it's just a bunch of totally siloed small teams. Culture grows as a result of people speaking to each other, which I didn't really see happening.

Could be that I was in a particularly siloed part though.

Of course not. You need genes. You need muscles. You need muscle memory. You need reflexes. Basically genes and trainings.

> They have time > work more hours

Work hours are not usually the issue. It is the wasted hours on all the things where a high earner can trade $ for time, versus the poor person that need to use an hour to save a dollar of cost.

Upper-income earners have different choices than the poor. Travel choices - Uber versus the bus, a car that works versus an clunker that costs maintenance and heavy breakdown side-effects. Appliances save time: dishwashers, your own washing machine, and a clothes dryer. A comfortable bed in a quiet and safe neighbourhood with helpful neighbours. Upper-income earners can buy services that give them time: cleaning, takeaways instead of cooking, supermarket delivery, childcare, massages or other re-energisers, good healthcare, yada yada yada.

When you get $40 dollars disposable in your pocket after household expenses for 40 hours work (ignoring travel), spending an hour to save a dollar is sensible.

Ideally if they worked an extra marginal hour, they would get a large marginal increase in disposable income. Somehow that doesn’t seem to work in reality (for many reasons, sometimes perverse government incentives).

One commonality amongst the less-well-off people I know, is that they are all tired. They can’t decide to spend another hour at their job because they are physically and mentally drained after a days physical work, and dealing with stressful people/children all day. Doing an hour on something different can make perfect sense to “earn” their $1.

I am not disagreeing with your main point - I do also see my friends spend their time and money poorly (in my opinion from an outside viewpoint).
Yeah, generally speaking, it's not optimized for open collaboration (not even close .. pun intended).
Take notes, Elon. You already got the first part done over at Twitter, may as well shoot for the stars now.
> the company that he bought that he clearly believes was on life support

Well, it is now.
I typically follow a 3-5 year pattern, too. Not because things sour or I have problems with anyone, but because I get bored with the project.
I think there's significant distinctions between them though. Those founders usually prioritize success of their business so they will accept corrections if it turns out to be a significant risk to the business.

IMO, Elon's narcissism blocks him from taking any kind of such "corrections" because his priority is on building his own narrative of being a genius entrepreneur and engineer. (This explains that "code review" farce pretty well...) If he corrects his path, then it will be publicly portrayed as his defeat so he just can't.

This worked pretty well for him until now since he was able to equate Tesla/SpaceX as himself in public perception. If he can build the genius narrative, then it will be a significant advantage for those businesses as well unless there are undeniable public failures. He is a competent businessmen so he managed most of the smaller gradual risks pretty well. But something big like Twitter is probably out of his ability, or not. We'll see.

As the old saying goes - "If someone's a prick, they're a prick. But if everyone's a prick, you're probably the prick". I hope this doesn't come off harsh but I would strongly encourage the OP to look inward.

Did you actively build a relationship with your boss? Did you actively solicit feedback from all the stakeholders in a given project? Did you ask earnest questions to try to understand people you disagreed with?

When I was younger, I thought anyone that disagreed with me was incompetent. This had upsides since I pushed through projects others thought were impossible. But you alienate a lot of people in the process. More importantly people start rooting for you to fail. This is fine a very narrow set of situations but as a whole you're far better off taking the same effort to understand the people around you.

My hypothetical question to the OP is have you ever had a falling out with anyone that you felt truly understood you and wanted the best for you? I haven't.
The AUR is the main thing I miss after moving from Arch to Gentoo, the scope of the applications on the AUR is crazy, and for the most part in my experience it's usually up to date and reliable. In my opinion, the AUR alone is enough reason to install Arch or an Arch-Based Distro.

I have tried at times to take notes by hand during lectures, but I write too slowly to keep up with everything I want to write down. So this leads to bad hand-writing and unfinished statements, etc. If I could press "pause" on a live lecture then I would be more inclined to take notes by hand.
2.5 to 3y is my normal stint. Generally speaking, I tend to end up getting to know a place well enough to realize some cultural quirk which I'll be powerless to correct will render what I set out to do in the first place infeasible/impossible. This will generally be coupled with having enough data to start to see the fray points of those around me, generally leading to "time for a context switch". Either that or a personal life event matures and ends up throwing a wrench In things. It is not just you, friend.

Phenomenal, visceral lived experience -- great piece, well worth the read
Having grown up relatively poor (single-mother, section 8 housing) I read it as the commenter saying there is a mindset that accompanies poverty that you can only experience and appreciate having been poor. Not that the mindset causes poverty. This is true, in my experience.
People aren’t anymore interesting than anywhere else.

Work is no more meaningful than anywhere else. It’s a big “selling point” for the industry, but it’s just a way to get people to get paid less (yay you’re making the world better than all those garbage people serving coffee or healing sick people or keeping your lights on or optimizing the routes of the goods you have delivered). If you want sustainable systems, trying to be a martyr and work for less only screws this up long term.

Code-base is not open-source. It’s biotech R&D, there is zero culture of sharing outside your organization within industry. You can present high-level things at conferences and such, but you’ll have to rip the raw data out of their dead hands…not happening.

I’ve been in too many conversations about building software to serve larger groups in this industry. It can happen, but it can’t currently and nobody wants it. Confident someone will find a solution, but everyone wants their own home-grown solutions in their own walled-gardens that no one has access to.

Data and the things it can/can’t tell you are held tightly in these companies. I was at a pharma a couple years ago where researchers were explicitly told they COULD NOT test certain compounds in a certain way because they did not want a trace of this data to exist while they were trying to push compounds through the FDA.
It's understandable given the high profile collapses. In addition, stories like "UK energy customers receiving bills of up to £49,000 after Ovo takeover of SSE" [1] don't help at all.

In defence of smart meters, they allow half-hourly settlement, which was required for smart charging of EVs. I don't understand exactly why this was required, but we couldn't work with retailers that didn't have this in place.

Ad companies generally don't. Data brokers will set user data, but advertisement based companies do not sell user data.

> does that make Google respect user privacy a lot better than other ad companies?

"better" is the operative word in that statement. Just because Google spies on me and is slightly less worse about how they use that data, does not mean that they respect my privacy.

> It is all about blaming.

No, its all about costs. A layoff for cost reasons gives the employee unemployment and costs the employer higher UI tax rates (which are based, in part, on the cost of UI paid to their employees vs. past payments.)

A firing for failure to meet performance standards other employers met doesn’t give the employee unemployment and doesn’t result in additional costs to the employer.

Of course, a pretextual firing might be the subject of an unemployment appeal, but at the pay of a Twitter software engineer, while people might take UI they are entitled to, they aren’t likely to bother fighting it based on need (but might just to make a point.)
That's interesting - I thought it was ubiquitous. Everybody I know acknowledges the tradition. Just another highly regional thing, I guess.
Can we talk about ORM Crisis?
I think there might be a survivor bias at play here.

What I saw when I worked at a big corporation was that there was an accumulation of people who stuck around, but there was also a constant churn of people who hated the culture and didn't last. I haven't counted, but I would guess that a decent majority of the colleagues I had over the course of my time here came from the latter group, even if most the people at any one time came from the former.
At the moment I'd rather not get involved in an online argument about which economic systems are better than than which other ones... especially not on a forum run by a startup accelerator, with a constraint that my preferred system has to be more than 300 years old.

I just wanted to point out that capitalism is in fact a specific economic system. It's not a law of nature, or another word for "markets" or "freedom", or a realization that some other system doesn't work.

> No relationship ends successfully

I disagree. I was recently hired at a company that I worked for years ago. I left because I tired of the project, but left on very good terms. Good enough that both the company and myself are looking forward to another run together.

That was a relationship that ended successfully.

A guess. You might start acing a certain way or make certain demands on your boss, colleagues, or employer after you feel you have contributed something important. You might feel justified in doing this because you feel like you have contributed more than others.

The raises and promotions are rewards for those contributions. The paycheck you received are compensation for those contributions. No one else owes you any more than that and it doesn’t entitle you to dictate how things are done outside of your responsibilities.

The above is my guess from reading between the lines.

Oh very cool! Indeed filtering the data results in outputs closer to DALLE-2.
The speed of recalling information from your brain vs looking it up is the important thing. Suppose it takes you 1/100th of a second to remember some formula or protocol but it would take you 10 minutes to look it up. Now suppose you are faced with several dozen such situations each day.

Not evolving with the needs of the business? Start ups in the very early stages are a different beast. As they grow and try to find product market fit it becomes more of a business problem than a technical one. So understanding the needs of the business first helps. And with that comes the knowledge what technical things are ok to be left broken.

Of course user experience is prioritized: below advertiser experience.

If this inevitably happens, then it most certainly is you. Stupid stuff happens all the time at every workplace, whether or not that makes your relationship with your employer untenable is up to you. You need to remember that you’re getting paid to do what your management wants you to do. If they want you to do something that you consider to be stupid, and if they choose not to listen to your advice about why it’s stupid, then it’s still your job to do it. If raising your concerns with management is causing your workplace relationships to sour, then it’s likely your communication/interpersonal skills that are lacking.

If you find the decisions from management to be completely intolerable, then that’s fine too. But it does mean that you have to find a new job. Finding a new job and then resigning because you didn’t agree with the direction the company is going in is also completely reasonable, and can be done completely amicably. But if you’re finding this happens every 18 months, then you perhaps also need to consider whether you might be too dogmatic about your technical opinions.
Its because in the beginning there is a lot of low hanging fruit. Its easy to make a difference. Added value is so obvious, you do not have to explain. (Probably the reason they hired you) Then, when the easy and obvious work is done, the discussions and frictions start about what work is actually valuable ...Navigating those waters also requires a skill which is not technical. There is nothing wrong choosing for work where its easy to make a difference.
Well, boiled eggs definitely taste better.
This happened to a coworker of mine. He was having sporadic wifi trouble, always in the evening but not every evening. Plugging in wired would always solve it, so it was definitely a wireless problem.

I handed him one of my old Ubiquiti M-series APs, the ones with the spectrum analyzer function built in. Showed him how to use it on his laptop, how to turn in a circle and estimate the azimuth of the source, etc. He went home that evening and as soon as his connection dropped, he fired up the analyzer. Very quickly localized the source to the driveway side of the house.... to the neighbor's kitchen.

At that point he called me for advice, and I said to knock on the neighbor's door, because this is really unsafe. He put me on speakerphone and I was able to tell them what we found, and they cut me off, saying they knew the door seal was damaged -- it got torn a few weeks prior when someone caught something in the door -- they just had no idea it was a big deal. (It's normal to feel a warm draft near the corner of the unit since the fan exhaust blows out down there, so the warm-sunshine feeling wasn't distinct enough to alarm anyone.)

They replaced the microwave the next day and the problem went away.
