If you still act on your confidence, but learn to give the right answers understating it in conversation, it could be that you gave those same right answers on the test reactively and then their interpretation is probably flawed.

In this case, additional knowledge wouldn’t actually represent a diminishment of your confidence in a functional sense, but a learned compensation to social feedback.

Revenue share is going to be worse for most indie developers - the .20 install fee is only bad for extremely high volume, low ARPU games. Basically mobile F2P. They deserve a different payment option, but switching everyone to revenue share is would be much worse for a typical Steam, $5+ indie game.

Ya, F google. But that's what corporations do. I wouldn't expect otherwise. But that's also why the PR department could get on this and make it right, and profitable (which is always the only motivation).

The Honda "random acts of helpfulness" goes a bit too far to be tasteful to me, because their acts are so random.

But if an individual could use help, and the situation is related to a companies service or product, the business should help, even just for PR, especially if they are selling to consumers, whom are all individuals.
Ironically, you are taking this study at face value. This study reminds me of the "Republicans tend to be sociopaths more often" study. That ended up being completely refuted.

For the rest of the world: I have no idea.

I have seen car commercials my entire life stating the car's 0-60.
EV's I think are especially good for this though because it's fun to accelerate in an EV. Fun does sell cars, see the Miata, S2000, every convertible, etc
There are tons of examples.

I, personally, as an average Joe, definitely would consider acceleration when buying a brand new car, I think it can be a good differentiator.
Faster than you can say "what are boot times like" from what I remember.

Time spent dating, or in a long-term relationship, prior to marriage is positively correlated with enduring marriage. That is, people who date each other for 3 years or more prior to marriage are 50% less likely to get a divorce than those who don't[0]. Thus, it pays societal dividends to encourage people to take their time and really get to know each other before getting married. Saying "the sooner you get married, the sooner you get your money back" or worse still "stay together without getting married for too long, and you risk not getting your money back" specifically discourages the behaviors that prevent domestic violence (including child abuse). What I believe we want is marriages that uplift their members, and minimize spousal abuse. Making people feel like they can't afford to not get married is the exact same phenomenon that drove up domestic violence during the COVID lockdowns[1].

If you're telling me that more abusive marriages is better for society, I don't think we have enough common ground to discuss this.

You would know your market way better than me, but just anecdotally I'm usually willing to pay $5 for a useful app. Based on your numbers it sounds like that would still make you money after 10 or so years. If the app is source available, I'll go up much higher. I'm definitely not a typical user, but for a "power" tool I'd think I'm in your market.
It would have terrible range with the same footprint. Hydrogen has great energy density by mass but terrible energy density by volume. The tank needs to be huge (but it would be light).
> When did this become a metric that mattered to any normal person?

Are you seriously going to try gaslight us that nobody cares about 0-60 times?

I'll be charitable and assume you're confusing max speed with 0-60. Most people care about 0-60 performance as it's what they experience after.every.single.stop. They may not know the documented 0-60 time, but they generally know and appreciate better acceleration.

But I do doubt most people know the actual top speed of their vehicles, and relatively few have ever operated their vehicles near or at vmax.
That was an informative read - thank you!
Well put another way -
It's one thing to tell your employees not to break the law. That's good!

It's another thing to tell your employees not to use a bunch of words while doing their job which implicate the firm in breaking laws they've been accused of breaking. It's almost like an admission of guilt or attempt to obfuscate.

From a bank/fund perspective - we get tons and tons of training about how we should not insider trade, money launder, etc. They have people who have gone to jail come give talks about how it's not worth it, it was the biggest mistake of their lives, etc. Never ever, across half a dozen firms and 20 years, have I had training that was like "so hey don't use these terms that are used by insider traders because that would give the wrong impression when you are um.. doing your job and stuff..".

It's stupid and hubristic. Just like the other stuff that came out of GOOG execs sending emails telling people not to put stuff in emails, lol. Cmon guys.
Because Google is a corporation, not a person. Even if Google decides to be "nice" in this case, this will be for purely selfish reasons (they decide good PR they get from paying this guy is worth more than whatever they pay).

I feel like large companies no longer have any excuse for not storing all text communications for a decade or longer. Text is small. Storage is cheap. The idea that you just can't keep all these text messages is absurd.

A recent criminal case in Canada was thrown out because the police decided to turn off their body cam mics while they had a conversation of what they were going to do during their arrest of the accused. The judge decided it was suppression of evidence by the police. (I agree with the decision).

A CEO choosing not to record certain conversations is, in my view, not that far from different. It's taking active action to ensure there's no record when it would have been easier to have the record: a clear sign that they don't want someone to know that was said.

It was said to boot in 5s twenty years ago...

The hardware compatibility list shows a promising number of machines ( http://www.menuetos.net/hwc.txt ). If you have a spare one, you could try and report. There is a chance that you will achieve a very fast boot time.

AROS (Amiga) could reboot in ~7s, ~15yrs ago. And you can do more than you can with MenuetOS. Again, today you will probably break that record.

Security through minority actually.
3-second fillup: when I pull into my garage, it takes me ~3-5 seconds to grab the plug off the wall right next to the car and plug it in. I then stop waiting on it, because I've got other stuff I'm doing now that I'm home. Sure, maybe it takes it 20 minutes or a couple of hours to replenish whatever charge I used, buts its not time I'm waiting. The only time I'm waiting on my EV is just the time to plug it in for easily 95% of the miles I do. The same experience would be had for most American drivers for the vast majority of their miles.

Recharge my ICE: go out of my way to a gas station, negotiate payment, open the gas tank, pump the gas, put everything back, go back on my way. This is just all wasted time. I'm not realistically able to walk away and do some other task while all of this is happening, I'm an active participant in it all the way through or the time waiting isn't useful to actually do anything with (the several minutes of it actually pumping).

Range anxiety is largely irrational for the average US driver. The majority of US drivers would spend less time and money charging an EV than paying for gas. Sure, some people truly can't charge at home. However, the vast majority of US households live in a single family house, and then another big chunk live in townhouses and others that could probably easily add charging. Very, very few actually do the "drive off to the woods twice a week" kind of lifestyle.

And even then, depending on how far away "the woods" are, it might not have any impact at all on waiting to charge. Were you going >100mi away to go on that quick bike or skiing trip? There's lots of bike trails around me within a 100mi radius or so, and I don't even live in a part of the country known for good biking.

Depends what the small letters say. Not all insurances are equal, unfortunately.
Once the activation energy can be maintained (basic skill and consistency) the learning curve is the steepest at the beginning of any given field; the setbacks are still rare and surmountable (and just mostly add to the confidence). But the human mind is only able to suffer a finite amount of beating and at one point your perceived competence level will collapse dramatically, overcorrecting in the opposite direction.

However, the reward structure of overconfidence can be used to maintain the momentum and once you hit the hard wall of insurmountable incompetence congratulate yourself that you actually walked the path of knowing practically nothing.

It's the hardest thing to fully admit one's own ignorance and easy to see all around you, it's only when the giant rationalization machine buzzing inside is finally fully exhausted; for a brief moment the crushing vastness of the unknown pours in.

So in a way overconfidence is just unused fuel. Use it wisely.

Good point. I actually meant, releasing schematics for the sake of 3rd parties reproducing parts of probably inferior quality, would be not a great idea. Schematics for understanding, yes, but those can be more high level - black box if you want - schematics for the sake of understanding how the system works or interconnects. A repair manual.

My experience was that Python3 became a meaningful upgrade over Python2 around the 3.5 release. That was less than seven years of transition!

I have my share of OKC stories, and indeed the app of today is vastly inferior than the app of years past.

What exists of OKC now is a "free" system which is utterly useless. You simply must pay to do anything that might result in a date.

This problem isn't the marginal user. The problem is the ever-growing marketing push to dangle "FREE" in front of people to lure them in, when of course there is cost later. In the case of OKC, the cost is your time at first. Then eventually you may pay (what is frankly an exhorbitant rate per month) just to be able to communicate with anyone.

Back to the point though. Think of all the garbage free apps for phones. Think of all the absurd games they play to trick or goad you into paying. That whole process IS the experience moreso than whatever the theoretical purpose of the app was. Instead of the old concept of "here's what we offer, and here's what it costs to get", we have this current state of the world.

There is a solution to all this: sell your product from day one. Do the traditional show and tell marketing to illustrate your product's value so you might gain customers. This is far better than the (VC?) approach of gathering users at a big loss and then figuring out how to monetize them. As we know, some of the monetization methods are evil...

Yes, exactly. SaaS tends to repel power users because it's so depriving of control. Just my experience, but the main people who pay for SaaS are usually those who don't want to invest time/effort into learning/customizing something, they just want to pay and be done. An exception to this is platform SaaS that targets tech companies. Those can be hit or miss.

Construction + buildings generate about 2x more CO2 per year than cars.

I often trust science as a social process more than the scientific method.

The scientific method works best in fields such as physics and chemistry, where you have an established model of reality. The model has been extensively tested and validated, and you can use it to design experiments that will likely test what they are supposed to, taking all relevant factors into account.

Other fields, particularly those that are most affected by the replication crisis, study phenomena that are too complex for such comprehensive models. Instead of testing established mechanisms, such fields often use the scientific method to investigate black boxes. Designing experiments is harder, because it's not clear if you are measuring the right things in the right way, or which factors could plausibly affect the results. You may not even be sure if the mechanisms the experiments rely on actually exist and if they are properly understood.

I like to think that the replication crisis is the social process trying to deal with the issues resulting from overreliance on the scientific method. When you can't rely on an established body of knowledge, a focus on the method takes your attention away from questioning your assumptions and understanding them.
