We've basically be doing this.

One of ours is a 2006 with just over 230k miles on it (Toyota). The last few trips to the shop for just an oil change and tire rotation has turned into large bills to fix things. I don't think if we sold it earlier we'd come out much ahead but maybe I'm wrong.

We plan to replace this with a similar 2-3 year old model and drive that one into the ground. Our other is a Ford and has not been as reliable. That will be replaced with a Toyota when it's time comes (which sadly may be with a lot less years/mileage than the Toyota).

> That way when I smell the smell in the future, I'd be flooded with memories of the days that smell was present. Never did it, but it was a fun thought experiment.

Pretty sure there's some good marketing copy in there somewhere; chaps memory enhancing odorizers: Smell the Future (TM)

If there's enough distinct and not unpleasant odors, and sensory bandwidth works, you could have your smell of the week, plus maybe a smell that ramps up over a month before a few special days. Your partner's birthday might smell like something; thanksgiving would smell like pumpkin spice (clearly), etc. It's beginning to smell a lot like Christmas (TM)

That's hilarious. :) To the OP, I don't even drink coffee, I drink tea! So I should probably come up with better analogies. But I'm very sensitive to the fact, especially in the social media and messaging space, that people aren't accustomed to paying for things and so it's a big lift to get them to value it correctly. (For example on Tumblr everyone said they'd pay for no ads in surveys, when we launched the upgrade it got like a 0.02% conversion. Twitter Blue has had the same challenges.)

Superhuman really broke open people paying a significant amount (30/mo) for communication, which I think is awesome for the industry.
Your tone started aggressive and maintained that most of the way, with a couple of minor disclaimers buried in the middle.

I’m mainly pointing out that downvoting isn’t necessarily “you’re wrong” but often “you’re not being constructive with your communication style”.
Ok, the designing, and tooling, testing etc.

But that just makes it worse.

If you have to spend £5million over 5 years to design something, you need to get funding until the point where you're actually selling products. If all the cost is in the actual manufacturing, you don't need the capital outlay early on.

Networking is a combination of hyper-specific hardware solutions "this ASIC targets the mid sized enterprise core and has features specialized to doing that role best, the lower tier version from even the same manufacturer and family however has these limitations... and this carrier focused L2 switch seems similar at a glance but actually has a nearly non-overlapping choice of hardware features baked in" and few (outside of the hyperscaler-like crowd) who actually want to manage that themselves despite knowing no generalized solution is really ready to manage it well either. This results in a massive amount of NOS customization and backwards compatibility that changes horizontally, vertically, and each generation in time. In the meantime, anyone who thinks they can optimize a specific use case better can introduce a new weird device and become popular because it achieves that use case at a great price.

That said, things have been moving in the right direction. E.g. the newer "Nokia Router OS" SR Linux is "just" bog standard Linux with a microservices based service layer which implements industry standard APIs for configuration and telemetry streaming. It still has a lot of legacy stuff, and even a replica of the classic CLI built on top of these APIs, but there is a bit more convergence in that I've been able to deploy Nokia gear and Arista gear in the same DC and manage them as one EVPN fabric with mostly identical API management to get there.

The short version of the above is there are still so many disparate weirdo systems precisely because the use cases of networking are well fit for wildly differentiated hardware every iteration which then drives having specialized software to go with it. Until that advantage goes away I don't see the networking space consolidating all that much.
Most of modern technology company culture has strayed too far from doing more formal processes for managing development.

By not having a basic process for defects, features, etc, every engineer has to make up and invent the process for how they will ship their feature through collaboration.

In most cases this ends up with doing little to nothing, with code review being the only form of collaboration on the topic that is in any meaningful detail. So we're left trying to stuff all possible interventions into a single moment.
Brother printers are really something. I recently replaced my old Brother laser with a new one and was surprised to find that it's just as "it just works" as the last one was (which was also surprising).

I connected it to the network, and boom, everything I have can print. Didn't need to install drivers on most things (but the printer utility is handy). You can send it documents via IPP, but also any other protocol that might be a good way to get a document to a printer, including USB, POP3, IMAP, LPR, and like a dozen other options. It feels like one of their engineers sat down at one point and just went through every possible protocol they could think of and implemented a module for it, and they just kept it that way for the last 10+ years.

Plus second-hand toner just works, no DRM, and toner is relatively cheap all in all. I'm not getting screwed by them on printing cost, and if I were I can go somewhere else for my consumables.
Apple has been doing a bottom-up upgrade with their Mx products so far. Update the entry models with base chips, then Pro/Max/Ultra at a later time.

The Pro M2 devices will still be much faster than any base model M3 refreshes.
Debatable at best. Art is produced out of passion, if the passion becomes overly monetized then it becomes pretty clear it stops being a reflection of the artist, and more so in the name of profit, which kills innovation.

Take for example, Wes Anderson movies. They aren't ranking in the billions after a successful weekend, but they don't have too because the folks involved recognize it's a passion project. I mean the cast alone is indicative that they're willing to take on a role that pays maybe a quarter of what they normally receive in other flicks.
I'm confuses, reconcialiation is also used in Bayesian statistics. Is it the same context?

> Providing provably false answers to Congress as part of sworn testimony should trigger prosecutors to look into perjury charges.

Well, in this case, it should trigger congress to look into it, but I agree. And we know that happens because congress has done so in the past. Such an initial investigation would certainly (and correctly) be done quietly, and we're not likely to know about it unless that investigation determines that perjury may have actually happened.
"experts say the switch to digital tips is meant to generate more participation in tipping and higher overall take-home pay"

The real problem is that your business relies on tipping. Tipping should not be the norm in the first place, just charge what you actually need.

Put wifi and cell jamming technology in public schools.

Ah, yes, technical solutions to social problems. Those always work.

Here's a better idea: raise your kids to value things that are real, and then teach them that nothing they see on a screen is real.
Kids have been having those problems well before social media came along, so it's quite a bold claim to say they know social media made them worse. But it's a fair bet to say not a dime from the lawsuit will go to a single victim. So I'd take a really skeptical look at both sides.
the one they updated is apparently 18.40 light hours away. So it will be quite some time before we're talking about light years.
Does anyone know what the long-term price of these is likely to trend towards? Like, is there some fundamental reason (materials, proess) that they'll always be 10x the cost of an LCD screen, or can we expect them to eventually get to similar prices?

No one seems to be talking about the elephant in the tent, e.g. that SiFive's IP/implementations aren't very good in terms of performance or even price/performance. There's a small audience (mostly in this thread :) who'll buy any RISC-V for the sake of novelty, but the vast majority requires at least parity with commonly available ARM (primary competition) and SiFive isn't it.

Knowing when to call "wheels falling off" is definitely important.

I recently replaced the water pump in the 2014 and the dealer quoted between $4,500-10,000+ for replacing the pump or replacing the engine if the coolant being where it's not supposed to be broke bearings or anything else. I got a second opinion from a small independent shop and he took it step by step and confirmed no engine damage before I committed to the pump replacement. It was around $3,500 total.

Replacing the vehicle would have cost $20k plus, so the math made sense for me to repair. If I was looking at an engine replacement might have gone the other way.

Keeping up with routine maintenance is the most important thing and even then random things do break.
I used to do this kind of work, not with McKinsey. When you do it a lot you realize how hard it is and why. Everything you want to measure, someone will claim it doesn't capture this and that, or will definitely be gamed and destroy the company. A lot like this article and discussion really. Many times picking metrics are the easiest part compared to getting the data, calculating the time series, setting targets, managing under/out performance. It's all kinda inevitable... so my advice is always to not focus too much on the metrics and focus on managing instead.

- Measure everything you your systems allow you to, maybe tweak some workflows, but don't add complexity or cost just for metrics.

- Separate metrics into stuff that needs to stay the same (mostly operational efficiency metrics) and stuff that needs to change (strategic metrics) and spend more time on the latter.

- Don't compensate or reward people based on them, just look at them a lot and if you see something that looks weird then talk to your managers about why, and if they can't answer or won't take action then that's all you need to know to reward them.

- If you want to use metrics to create competition just publish a leaderboard and let peer pressure do the rest. People will work hard to be at the top of a public list even if there is no explicit reward for it.

Just be a manager, manage the people, and use metrics that help you manage the people. You won't sell many consulting engagements that way tho.

It also really doesn't help that some of the power companies have started sending letters/emails to their customers saying "your meter has reached the end of its life, we have a legal obligation to replace it, please arrange an appointment to fit a smart meter". They're lying to try to force you to allow them to install a smart meter, and they're only doing that because so many people have said that they don't want one.

> Russian being a major foreign language taught in schools

This lasted only for two decades immediately following the war, during the years of Soviet control, but Romania famously began to depart from that Soviet control in the 1960s. French then fully returned to its position as the major foreign language taught in schools, and while Russian was still taught at a few schools here and there, it was no longer a language prescribed at the national level. Again, this is a pretty well known fact. You are out of your depth here.

Even if Romania and Russia shared Orthodox religion, they had different conventions in terms of liturgy, monastery organization, etc., and whenever there are Russian–Greek differences, Romania always goes with the Greek convention.

If you claim Russian cultural influence on Romania, let’s have some examples.

> I'd agree here. Most doctors have not really caught up to the giant data science revolution we have going on.

Well, compared to psychology researchers, the medical researchers are doing pretty well on data science. I‘m not joking. In psychology, data science just doesn’t exist yet. P-values still rule the day and overfitting is a term they have never heard of.

Depends on the type of user I think. For totally non-technical, they're never going to be interfacing with any of the under the hood differences anyway… the biggest change for them is going to be using an App Store like package manager UI instead of downloading random exe files.

The group that I'd expect to be most likely to stumble with a clone DE is the group that is just technical enough to get themselves in trouble. This group tends to overestimate their own technical capabilities and quickly frustrates when discovering unexpected differences. For this group, yes I'd agree they'd be better off with a more standard "Linuxy" DE.
No, they exist as instances of rationalized disobedience. If the founders had meant something other than "Congress shall make no law," nothing stopped them from saying so.
LinkML
Quoting from the project page: "LinkML is a flexible modeling language that allows you to author schemas in YAML that describe the structure of your data. Additionally, it is a framework for working with and validating data in a variety of formats (JSON, RDF, TSV), with generators for compiling LinkML schemas to other frameworks."

I work on data modelling for a public organisation based in Europe. I am evaluating linkml as a way to improve the production and management of our models. We would use it mainly for the linked data features, but are also interested into the implementation-oriented artefacts (JSON Schema, SQL DDL,...).

Trying to gather some feedback and open a discussion on this topic.
cell and wifi jammers are illegal (with some very good reasons), so yeah you're going to need some experts

we know what happens when the government creates uninformed regulations, so I think it's worth supporting them when they appear to take a reasonable approach

kids need to be able to operate within the world that technology has created, and parents need informed guidelines and tools to enforce them

the all or nothing approach probably isn't the way to go... how's abstinence only sex education going, for example?

Yup, it's a more or less worthless conversation, but one that many knowledge workers end up in.

I remember once being a similar conversation regarding a training program I was working on, and the customer was trying to assess the value of the training not on the improved performance of the employees, but on some measurable "knowledge unit" that had been transferred to the student (regardless of their ability to retain it).

It was beyond frustrating.
EU taxation and regulation plays into this more I guess, outweighing the benefits of healthcare and other social benefits?
It's worth noting that these lawsuits are based on junk and non existent science, so just because they're being sued it doesn't mean there's any merit to it. It only means that law firms, ambulance chasers, and grandstanding politicians are using some misplaced anger against Facebook et al to make a buck or raise their political profiles.

Locking your door at night is extremely unlikely to have any life threatening downsides. I suppose you could concoct a scenario where you live with someone with an altered mental status and the locked door prevents them from escaping during a fire, but that's reaching.
Unless doctors can see with their naked eye what's wrong they just give you the boot unless you fight hard, diagnose yourself with google, and demand tests. I used to think doctors got mad at googlers because they would find crazy wrong answers and waste their time. Now I know it is because it reveals their incompetence. I laugh whenever anyone says the US has the "best medical system in the world".

I work on a retailer that partnered with Samsung to implement a feature that would disable devices if the customers didn't pay their installments in time.

I was surprised with that kind of control from Samsung. In the end it feels that device is not really yours.

I wonder if other brands do something like that.
Fair enough. I have a few gripes with the channel, particularly how they title videos and the thumbnails are usually cheesy. The content can be hit or miss, but the smart house series is especially relevant to me as I'm going through something similar a smaller scale.

The thing that I find so interesting is that they - for better or worse - essentially live stream their business decisions, challenges, and aspirations. Whether their endeavors are successful or not, I agree with their decision to try and move beyond Youtube and create their own video platform via Floatplane. They've also found success in alternative revenue streams via sponsorships from reputable brands and merchandising and are very open about their metrics.

Lastly, I really respect that they are 100% bootstrapped. I've only ever worked for companies that rely on investor funding for growth, and their influence often feels intrusive and counterproductive.
Absolutely no way am I going down that route when there are databases with schemas available.

>Buffer also comes with additional caveats. For instance, Buffer#slice() creates a mutable segment linked to the original Buffer, while Uint8Array#slice() creates an immutable copy, resulting in possible unpredictable behavior. The problem is not the behavior of the Buffer#slice() method, but the fact that Buffer is a subclass of Uint8Array, but changes the behavior of an inherited method.

But this is an implementation detail, not specified behavior. Changing method behavior in subclasses is a key aspect of inheritance.
Unfortunately this isn't a great take either.

I'm not sure what you do, but lets say you're a programmer. You love programming and want to make the world better with it. Of course you also have $400,000 in education debt from becoming a programmer and need a job to ensure you don't end up bankrupt. So you get a job for $bigCorp that pays well. BigCorp tells you that you must push out 100,000 lines of code per day or you're out. You look around and all the jobs in what you do pretty much act the same way, and those bills are coming up at the end of the month. Now, you know you cannot turn out quality code at that rate so you cut back quality to a bare minimum to meet the metrics of continued employment.

Most doctors are in a similar situation these days, very few independent offices exist. They are parts of "GiantHealthCareCorpofAmerica,INC" that cares far more about how much the shareholders are going to make than how the patents are, even though each individual doctors would like to give better individual patient care.
