>Why express yourself artistically in software? Maybe because I am not as skilled at painting or music to hope to express myself in that regard.

Why do you feel you need to be skilled in either to express oneself? The expression is the goal, not the perfection.

I also don't believe that you have to let go of the expectation of compensation. You can have both compensation and expression, just maybe use a little more time/money towards marketing.

I waited forever for a family doctor, but all of our other experiences have been decent, especially once you're in the system. "Covered" in the US also rarely means 100% coverage: between copays, deductibles, and just general run-you-around-until-you-give-up nonsense, you usually end up paying something.

Daycare for us is about $15/day (calculator here: http://www.budget.finances.gouv.qc.ca/budget/outils/garde-ne...). Some of the prices we got for DC in 2021 were over $2500/kid-month and they've only gone up, so $150/day is indeed in the ballpark.

Driving? Chacun à son goût. I found driving here better than DC or Boston, but...yeah, I'm glad I don't do it.

Google's behaviour is also bad but it is ahistorical to describe it as Google doing it first. Microsoft did it first, got sued, and lost. We're still being punished today with the fallout from the technical decisions made by Microsoft trying to prove IE was an integral part of the OS - if the file explorer crashes, your toolbar does too.
Self-aware commentary like this only works if used sparingly, but this one is extremely effective - acknowledges the mercenary motivations, implicit hypocrisy, and self-aggrandization of such announcements while nonetheless communicating all the important information and succinctly breaking down a real problem that their platform solves. On top of that, the legitimate uses of funding are clearly identified, answering any questions about both "why" and "how much".

Cheers, guys.

In the deep past, I considered design to be an industry full of poets and philosophers. I suspect I got this impression from home improvement shows where they bring in an interior decorator to toss throw pillows around. Then I ended up working with three high quality designers in a row.

At this point I consider the design industry to be cousins or even siblings to the software engineering industry. All those incomprehensible design decisions that pop up in popular software don't come from designers debating faux marx or freud in coffee shops at 3am. They show up from management and other stakeholders who at the 11th hour decide that suddenly everything has to be flat because they read something in a magazine.

The bad decisions are fought by designers tooth and nail and the fact that anything looks halfway descent at all is due to their herculean efforts. If anything they deserve more sympathy than we do because we can always retreat into low level communication protocols or type theory when we need to get the muggles off our backs. But everyone has an opinion on how that button looks.

On the face of this description, there is nothing demeaning or unaccepting about these interactions. It's as if simply noticing race and commenting on differences is interpreted as racism. If that benign behavior is racism, we need another word for the malignant kind.

so I'm guessing Vercel and Netlify deploy cloud functions only to the "least worst datacenter"?

while Fly.io deploys compute instances to more regions and also has a database?

Been watching your journey for a while. You've hit on a couple of key insights that I think are really smart because they accelerate TTV which historically has been sloooow in the metrics space (been watching and using tools in this space since Kissmetrics was in beta):

* B2B SaaS is a lot more qual. than B2C (We also sell to B2B SaaS[1] and this squares with what we've seen). You don't need to cater to all the scenarios that Amplitude or Mixpanel or Heap cater to which narrows the scope of what to ask of users (and what you need to build!)

* Honing in on SaaS means you can offer canned AARRR reports and key feature usage reports out of the box which massively accelerates that.

* Pulling metrics from where they already live and transforming them into immediately useful data for PMs. CDPs like Segment enable that but you could even de-risk customer migration to June by pulling data from Mix or Amplitude

Congrats on hitting 1k customers. Looking forward to seeing where you go next.

You can absolutely use doubles for money. Excel does it and so do many other financial tools. There are pros and cons but as long as you do rounding and comparisons correctly it works perfectly fine.
> The FDA needs to focus more on safety and quality control

yes

> less on the murkier and more questionable topics around efficacy and gatekeeping access.

no

By all means, let's work out a way to use the FDA to better ensure quality control of generics (and other stuff), but reducing their focus on the efficacy of drugs is a terrible idea. You can't meaningfully talk about the safety of drugs without understanding their efficacy. Every medication comes with a cost benefit tradeoff, and the only way to make a reasoned decision is to have good data about the efficacy and side effects.
So "Prime Trust" is more accurately "Prime Misplaced Trust"?

Andrei Tarkovski:

“An artist never works under ideal conditions. If they existed, his work wouldn’t exist, for the artist doesn’t live in a vacuum. Some sort of pressure must exist. The artist exists because the world is not perfect. Art would be useless if the world were perfect, as man wouldn’t look for harmony but simply live in it. Art is born out of an ill-designed world.”

If you look into molecular orbital theory, the double bond causes overlap, which makes the bonds unstable. It can more easily jump off and create a new bond. If you want to see an even worse situation, look at Nitrogen triple bonds.

Further, the extra oxygen attached to the carbon makes the bond a bit polar since you have such a heavy electron clump on one side of the carbon.

There are tons of reasons to not use an internal CA.

First, cost. You're not just going to slap the root CA onto the network drive and let the developers have at it - you're going to need infrastructure to keep the key safe and handle automated cert provisioning and suchlike - that's going to need people to maintain it. And it'll be an important part of your infrastructure, so you'll need enough experts you can maintain round-the-clock support.

Second, it reduces your security because your users will inevitably learn to ignore certificate errors.

Thirdly, you'll never stop the certificate errors. Oh, you're going to set them up for both Chrome and Firefox and Edge and Safari on Windows, Mac, Linux? Oops, you forgot Android and iPhone. And your CI system. And Java and Docker and Git. And the network printer and the electronics team's network-enabled oscilloscope. Think you've covered everything? Surprise, Slack is distributed in a Snap now, it's generating certificate errors.

Just have your cloud provider take care of it. Not in the cloud? A wildcard cert on your load balancer will get you 99% of the value with 1% of the work.
A car centric culture in which it is expected that everyone drive somewhere to accomplish just about anything is very expensive to maintain. Couple this with a belief that government can’t work and a belief that taxes must always be lowered and we have the current state of affairs. Something has to give eventually.
I think it's illegal for a few very niche items in the UK. Specifically:

1. beer and cider (not e.g. wine, spirits or non-alcoholic beverages) must be sold by the pint, half pint, or third of a pint (strong beers and at tasting festivals mostly) when delivered "draught" ie they pump it into a glass, rather than handing you a can or bottle.

2. milk can be sold by the pint in re-usable containers (typically glass bottles for the purpose). I'm not sure this is actually mandated by law, but since it depends on the containers even if it wasn't you can't easily switch.

3. precious metals like gold, silver and platinum, are sold by the troy ounce.

The Brexiteers would probably like to push harder on this, but they're old and their "brave" economic experiment is a colossal failure, so "Let's make things worse" went off the agenda pretty firmly, now it's all about rescuing some sort of dignity from the mess.
Passion-based industries don't ever follow proper "market dynamics", video game programmers are paid less because there's always someone else who will take the job at a lesser rate because they are passionate about it. You try to pay less for a CRM developer and they will just find another gig while you won't find anyone as qualified because that job doesn't have a motivation outside of the monetary transaction for the labour.

Market dynamics is just a model, as with any model it doesn't fit reality perfectly, it breaks down at the edges.

When I visited Tokyo a few years ago, I enjoyed the convenience of the vending machines and the fact they have 7-11/Lawson/Family Mart convenience stores on every downtown block. It was a bit concerning to see the huge amount of plastic bottles being consumed. I read that in the past, they would ship them to China for recycling but China no longer wanted to be a part of that trade. It seems to me there should be a better alternative to plastic bottles. I know it is convenient and is safer/lighter to carry than glass. I would hope by now, we would have invented a paper bottle with wax liner or something similar that can replace all the plastic bottles.

Probably pfx.
But thats not the issue.

The issue is that companies are forcing people into offices. Nobody forces anyone into WFH (as a trend).

It a mute point, that people like different work environments or that different tasks might require different environments.
People have been doing things for the sake of doing them for centuries. Sometimes one person creates something - a painting, sculpture, book, game - that resonates with the public and is lucky enough to get noticed. It's a mix of talent and luck, which includes being at the right place at the right time.

I believe that the mistake is to expect that you will be rewarded for your efforts just because you created something that resonates with you. It might happen, it might not. On average, I think that game developers make less money than food servers at McDonald's. And it was always like that, someone creating speculative work and trying to probe the market almost always makes less money than someone working on a guaranteed, time-honored market need.

The question is - was the trip worth it? Lots of times, it isn't. But let's take someone who spends a year of their life backpacking around Europe or wherever. Was it worth it? Moneywise, it was a huge loss of money, not "profitable". But it could have been personally profitable, it could have been the best thing this person has done in their life and one of those "deathbed joys".

If you approach hobbies and game development this way, I think it's much easier to accept a market failure. It must be worth it to YOU, otherwise you're in for very likely disappointment.
No, I gathered.

> The company claims this technology, developed in-house, uses acoustic sensors to listen for the tell-tale sounds of carbon fibers in the hull deteriorating to provide “early warning detection for the pilot with enough time to arrest the descent and safely return to surface.”

It will listen for delaminating or snapping fibers? That sounds kind of wild. They assume it will be a slow linear process giving them enough time to ascend a few hours to safety.

At those pressures the carbon fiber hull could (and probably did) implode in a few milliseconds.

Forgot if it was a conjecture or reported as fact, but they had dropped their ballast and were ascending. So the sensors might have even worked, it’s just the carbon fiber + titanium pressure vessel didn’t behave nicely like they hoped, giving them enough time.
Those companies were made to pay hundreds of billions of dollars [1]. This was unprecedented at the time. Companies have watched and learned. Will some companies still lie and cheat? As long as humans exist, that's for sure. But they will carefully think if it's worth the risk.

In the Godfather, a Mafia don was saying "I Don't Like Violence. I'm A Businessman. Blood Is A Big Expense." It does not follow that mafiosi don't kill, they do.

The same with companies and their public statements. "Lies are a big expense."

Tesla may lie about their CO2-equivalent emissions. But that would make sense only if the additional profits brought by this lie justify the risk of an SEC investigation or a class action lawsuit. Do people buy more Teslas because they read and believe the Tesla's claims about CO2 reductions? Some do, but 90% of the Tesla buyers just care about the car. Sure, they like the green part. But very, very few Tesla buyers would buy the car if they didn't actually like it on its own merits.

But leaving aside Tesla statements, their claim stands scrutiny against a back-of-the-envelope calculation.

When you make a Tesla car, you follow the same process as when you build an ICE car. The differences are that in a Tesla car you put a chunky battery, and in an ICE car the engine and the transmissions are much bigger. I venture to say that the emissions savings from having smaller engine and transmission are significant, but let's be conservative and ignore that. How large are the emissions associated with manufacturing a battery?

This MIT paper [2] states that the emissions for a Tesla Model 3 battery are between 2.4 and 16 tons of CO2-e. An average US car emits about 4.6 tons of CO2-e per year. So, a Teslas extra manufacturing emissions are offset in 0.5 to 3.5 years. The average is 2 years, which is in line with Tesla's claims.

If anyone wants to present different numbers that contradict these numbers, please do. And just to be on equal footing, analyze the biases in those estimates too, just like you are asking me to do.
