Email: scott@scottsharp.me

I'm Scott, an experimentation-focused growth product manager. I have a pretty broad background, starting in full-stack web development, moving into digital marketing management, and finally into growth product management and CRO. I've worked with many large and growing brands in the B2C / DTC space. I've also worked with tech and SaaS companies in a similar capacity. I'm open to full-time and contract roles, with a preference for full-time.
Thanks for sharing an informed perspective!
There is nothing about the use of prison labor that benefits a free market. The opposite is true. By controlling a source of labor that can operate at below market prices it's easy to destroy any competion and gain total control. That is the antithesis of free market economics.

If anyone is a 'tankie' it's people who support government-supplied cheap labor...
How else would you propose getting it into a top search result for Google? ;)

But seriously, it could be useful for people to share with family or friends who aren't technical. You never know.
Why the survivors of the Jonestown massacre tried to sue the CIA (2022)
One opportunity with this kind of technology is to identify when a plate is mismatched with the car. If you assume that stolen plates and stolen cars are a problem, which I think is a good assumption, you can make the adversary's life harder by forcing them to match plate to car make/model/color/year by deploying an ALPR that alerts on mismatches.

There's a good story here about flipping the current economics for criminals--it's trivially cheap to steal plates and cars--towards a world where they have the harder problem of matching plate to car.
+1 -- SCOTUS even seems to agree that they wish Congress would just modernize 230 so they wouldn't be trying to interpret what the word "publisher" (conceived before the internet existed) means in a digital era. All SCOTUS can do is look at the law as currently written and try to apply it to current situations in a reasonable way. By contrast, Congress can wholly rewrite the law and introduce new terms/concepts into it.

Interesting quote.
Statistically, if you add up all these 'historically marginalized groups', it seems like you end up with the overwhelming majority of the population.

Women are a bit over half. Then add on all non-straight people, all non-white people, all people with some serious health (mental or otherwise) diagnosis. Globally this covers like 95% of the human population. Even in America these 'historically marginalized groups' are like 75-85% of the population.

I suspect the complainant is casting a wide net when they try to define who counts as 'historically marginalized groups', to the point where this could happen by random chance. Though it's hard to know without knowing the full profiles of everyone at the company.

Also we can note that these 'historically marginalized groups' tend to concentrate in certain types of jobs; if a company were to downsize their HR department for example, they'd be firing nearly all women even without targeting women, just as if they were to downsize programming they'd be firing nearly all men.
There is already a remedy here. The executive can simply decide not to go through with the execution. There's no benefit to allowing judges to selectively interpret the law. The price of that precedent is too high. If you think the justice system already makes poor decisions (I agree) then the solution is certainly not to give judges even more power.

I think it's reasonable to guess that not all HN readers - there are very, very many people who read HN - are experts on a technology as complex as modern wireless communications.
"The lawsuit also stated that the city's ban on nonresidents "traces its roots to an era when racial discrimination in and around the City was open and notorious" and cites mid-20th century policies such as redlining and "block busting" that prevented Black people from buying homes in Palo Alto."

I'd prefer to point people to the text of the article rather than trying to relay a point made there to here and back again.
You're in the bullseye of the law enforcement pitch then. There are lots of ways to address armed robberies without mass surveillance. They'll pitch this as "one more tool to fight crime <x>" but you wait, it will actually be "THE tool for preventing a wide range of behaviors, some maybe even illegal!"

When I was in HH, I loved the monthly pass offered by my employer (65€/month); the ability to travel longer distances over S-Bahn and taking +1 with you was killer/super-smart feature IMO. Miss those in states sorely.

That’s likely true, but our hunter gatherer ancestors also saw way more water and foodborne pathogens, not to mention continual parasitic infections to more than make up for the relative lack of immune system stimulation from a lower level of airborne pathogens.
It's not understandable. Some things you don't let yourself do and speak up when other people do.

You're not the target market. People who want (require) the absolute lowest prices don't mind. Meanwhile you probably are the "Target" market, which seems to be a slightly more curated container-from-china with more upscale lighting, colors and maintenance.

I think costco is the "gated community" version of these stores, requiring a membership to enter. A price-barrier to entry, or a commitment.
While I agree that this is scary, these responses show that ChatGPT can't yet see past its own training data. I find it more unsettling that it seems limited by ideas/philosophies/ideologies that humans have already thought of and will therefore manifest our own worst fears because that's all it knows how to do.

I believe the next step for ChatGTP is to see past its training data and create unique ideas of its own.

edit: rephrased for clarity
I didn't realize GitHub would struggle with this. I'll consider cleaning that up, thanks!
Unknowable, yet confidently describable?
Tried with SCO OpenServer (old UNIX) and modern Fedora, with Konsole and XTerm. Neither 'ps' in either terminal truncates output to fit the terminal. What 'ps' on what OS did that?

Some Googling indicates that on Solaris, 'ps' would default to 80 characters wide before truncating, apparently ignoring the size of the terminal. However even that apparently did not apply when piping; it would output the full line in that case.
A person who knows what they are doing versus someone who has difficulties learning the given tasks have two very subjective views of the workplace situation.

One is at the mercy of their colleagues, constantly and rightfully interrupted to correct their mistakes, while the other is chugging away in the zone.

We need the viewpoints of both levels of expertise to make sure that there is a whistle to blow.

The article mentions that but …

“ side effects can be serious, and most doctors are wary of prescribing it off-label.”

“6mg of the drug a week“

That’s a pretty low dosage?
Problem is that when you have with so many marginalized groups and increasing number of people claiming their membership in them, majority of the company could belong to at least one group. So it could easily be just a chance that no non-disabled white straight male was laid off. As for firing people on disability and maternity leave, it's kind of understandable - when you have a choice of firing 2 roughly equally productive people and one of them has additional needs that you must accommodate, it's obvious who will you choose. With maternal leave it's similar.
"Cut and run" doesn't work if you're on a visa, if you've already had to do that once or twice in the last couple years, or if you don't have enough of an emergency fund. It also doesn't work if you're not a tech worker - remember that discrimination affects HR reps and program managers and mechanical engineers and fabrication technicians and research scientists just as much as it affects SWEs.
That may be true but how much power does Vercel CS have to help if the issue is fundamentally on the Cloudflare side?
I sort of agree with the overall sentiment of this (I oppose the death penalty for many reasons), but this does seem like a mild exaggeration. Less than 20 people get the death penalty per year in the US, and they are isolated in a few states (mostly Texas)
Just throwing out there, Apple accepts their own batteries in any condition. I showed up to one of their stores with a friend's swollen (spicy pillow) old MacBook battery in a metal trash can and they put on hazmat gear, came outside the store, and took care of it. They curiously also have you sign some paperwork stating you're not getting the battery back.

I'm not an Apple hardware user or fan but I was pretty impressed with how professionally they took care of that.
love what you guys are doing. Applied for the Mobile dev role.

I'm actually not sure what exactly is accomplished by toggling Location Services off. For example, I have Android 11, and AIUI, several methods are used to get a fix on location.

Does the LS button turn off the GPS/GNSS radios only? What about WiFi location services? Are those disabled by the button too? Bluetooth, is that a thing?
Artistry is a beautiful thing. It's also why I love hearing from industrial designers on how they arrived at their design decisions, challenges they faced, intent, nuances in the design you might overlook that were difficult etc.

Unfortunately, short of more behind-the-scenes material and interviews, the only way to really get a feel for it is looking at their body of work as a whole. The great ones always have a specific style that they refine or evolve over time. It's unmistakably x.

I have to say, I've yet to see any AI artist hit a signature style, and I've yet to have an AI generated piece of art move me emotionally or conceptually.

Are they interesting? Sure. So's glitch art, but there's not much substance to any of it, and I remember none of it. Intent and self-expression is such a huge part of art.

Can you imagine what Hitchcock would say about AI anything? He wanted it 100% his way.
I know of a few occasions [0] when missing persons were found stranded in the mountains due to the assistance of cell tower triangulation. That said, it's a pain to get any element of accuracy and in the US, it takes a lengthy legal process for law enforcement to obtain that data.

> …why does it matter if some text or art or whatever piece of work was made using generative AI?

It doesn’t matter unless you see the future where your job is going to the robots then it’s very important to enact barriers to ensure the content is “authentic” or “organic”.

Absolutely nobody cared about this stuff when only non-white collar jobs were on the line.

My best sleep was on a camping trip when we decided that a tent wasn't necessary and we could just sleep outside watching the night sky.

(This is of course highly location dependent. Now that I think about it, I was probably taking a bit more risk at that time than what I tolerate now.)
We have this in the UK and my understanding is if a car removes their plates or uses a plate which is invalid it will be flagged up and they will be inviting police attention.

Although, I think where this comes into play most is that in the UK our police cars are also fitted with the same technology so if a car has a valid plate which doesn't match their vehicle or simply has an fake plate they will be immediately pulled over, so you'd be kinda stupid if you were driving around frequently committing crimes with fake plates on.
I wonder if there are any legal protections for what the Twitter trending list used to do - paid people to summarize the topic that was trending - vs the company itself stating its opinion on a given subject. The google search answerbox, for example, will show you an "answer" for a given query, but it's not Google's answer to the query, it's whatever the source they selected says.
If it's large enough, wouldn't cosmic inflation eventually remove the extremities from each other's light cones?
> The parallels with today's banking problems are eerie.

No, no they're not. Not even close. Please read up about this before propagating outright falsehoods.

The S&L industry in the 1980s was doing FTX type nonsense: using depositor funds for very risky investments. This worked great when the markets were going up. Not so much when the market crashed in 1987.

Banks now are holding excess liquidity and funds they otherwise can't lend out (within their risk limits) in US government bonds. The problem is they took long term bonds for slightly higher yield at a time when interest rates were near-zero. And then interest rates went up and created a loss if it were realized. Many companies have been undone by this kind of penny-pinching. It's bad risk management.

Even in the case of SVB, it had more assets than depositor funds and despite the vast majority of deposits (by value) being uninsured, every depositor got their money back and it cost the taxpayer nothing.
I think the public at large isn't even aware of the location services toggle at all.

But they know from every police procedural TV show under the sun that you can have your location tracked by your cell service.

Same way TV used to always show a landline call taking 30 seconds to be "traced" and the criminal would always hang up right before...
Capital punishment is a legal penalty in 27 of 50 states. But the most populated states do not have capital punishment as a legal penalty. So it is not true that "by and large" the US tolerates this penalty. The trend is clearly toward abolishing the death penalty.
> Generic and formulaicness, comes from having TOO MANY PEOPLE.

You know what else comes from the output of many people? What AIs produce.

> They love drawing, but not art. They love socializing with artists, but not art. They love receiving attention and income from their art, but not art.

Love of drawing, socializing with artists, and attention and income when people connect and buy their art are all forms of deeper engagement/investment with art.

The generous reading I can make of the mistake that sets these up as the other side of an inimical dichotomy where engaging these things is not loving art is if you're limited to the perspective of someone whose experience with art is that of a consumer and equates that perspective with loving art.

Being concerned about alienation from drawing, from connection with a community of other artists making efforts, and yes from attention and income that makes their focus socially/economically viable seems pretty reasonable.

It's also reasonable to be interested in what new tools can do and I rather imagine there will be people who enjoy that as well, some of whom may be able to produce visions that were previously inaccessible to them. That's interesting and exciting, but it doesn't mean there's no downsides.
Thank you. This helps. But does that mean a POSIX shell, or any other UNIX utility, must implement these operators. Using them in shell scripts makes the scripts non-portable, e.g., Almquist sh, NetBSD Almquist sh or Debian Almquist sh do not support them. Maybe the author of the "Pure POSIX Sh Bible" always runs Bash in --posix mode. Hence "Pure POSIX sh".

In that case, your original point is also moot because chess at low levels doesn't have any strategy besides gimmicks (scholar's mate, fool's mate) and then moving randomly and hanging pieces. Around 800 ELO, people start looking for pins, skewers, forks, etc. Around 1200 ELO, you hit a wall and have to start grinding openings for a year, and then you'll hit the final wall at 1700 ELO where you can't advance unless you played from childhood.

You don't need to be Global Elite in CS to have a team that attempts site takes/retakes/rotations and tries to use util effectively. You'll never have GE reactions/aim, but you'll also never be an IM/FM in chess no matter how much you grind. CS is still fun even as a silver/low gold nova pleb because the midgame has effectively unlimited variety (just like chess), and 10 independent players as opposed to 2 leads to much more diverse gameplay. CS also has the advantage of there not being draws (aside from in Valve's matchmaking), something which plagues chess all the way to the super grandmaster level.
