Hey, can I just say, I really appreciate and respect your pricing strategy on the design app.

Fixed one time cost for personal or business. Or a cancel-any-time subscription model. Really, there is a spot for everyone in this pricing model.

It's refreshing and builds trust. I have no need for your software, but it's like the trust is so attractive, I would consider buying it just because it's there to buy.

Anyway, congrats on the side gig income. I need to get me some of that.

The origin of eukaryotes is an amazing story. The chances of survival of the original combined organism were 0.0000000001%. All the bacterial RNA and DNA that the bacteria produced during life and death were surely messing up with the archaea inner workings, as bacteria and archaea have different genetic code "dialects". The archea had to evolve a nucleus instantly to keep the bacterial RNA away from it's ribosomes.

The survival of eukaryotes may be so unlikely as to even partially explain Fermi paradox.
Unfortunately we fall for the claims of narcissists and psychopaths, and raise them to be our leaders. That’s why this keeps happening. In a bad moment, a narcissist is incapable of accepting blame. And a psychopath is never honest in accepting it. Confidence men and grifters have a very long finger and they’re constantly pointing it at someone, deflecting blame.

My current guess is that Helen and Sam had disagreements, and that caused Sam to be less-than-candid about the state of OpenAI's tech, and that was the straw that broke the camel's back for Helen. A disagreement within the board is one thing, but if the CEO undermines the ability of the board to provide oversight, that sort of crosses a line.

Alternatively, maybe it became clear to the board that Sam was trying to either bully them into becoming loyalists, or replace them with loyalists. As a board member, if the CEO is badgering me into becoming a yes-man and threatening to kick me off if I don't comply, I can't exactly say that I'm able to supervise the company effectively, can I?

The fact that BMW and Mini are at the top of this list should make you ignore this data.

First off, the Mini is just a smaller BMW, second the BMWs are complicated and designed to be maintained a certain way because that is how german cars are designed. You don't accidentally go 10k over an oil change on a higher mileage BMW and expect nothing bad to happen, but that would probably be okay on a Honda/Toyota/some American cars.
The light is on top of the dashboard, right in the middle. It's intended to be very visible, especially from outside the car.

It is only on if the car is turned off and parked and the high voltage system has turned on to charge the 12V battery. When you're driving or just have turned on the car while parked, the light goes off.

So the only occasion the light might be annoying is if you're taking a nap in the car at night. And then you could just throw a towel on top of it.

Toyota and US brands tend to adopt Series-Parallel hybrid system. European tend to adopt Parallel hybrid system like you listed, and Mazda/Hyundai want to be like an European. Japanese tend to adopt Series hybrid system.

First thing I did was searching for the car brand (Volkswagen) of my car in the list. I was surprised to find it way down in the yellow area of medium reliability. After all, I choosed that brand specifically because I wanted to have a reliable car. It should at least last 20 years.

After reading into the details of the rank and some comments here I came up with the following explanation for me:

- Reliability is only related to the first 2-3 years of the car

- Long term reliability of engine and gears or chassis is not related to some minor issues of other parts in the first years of life of a car

I'm currently in year 3 and so far only had 2 issues caused by external factors:

- Electric cables damaged by animal bite (marten)

- Rear drive shaft gear broken because workshop forgot to refill oil after change

Three Guaranteed Ways to Boost App Retention (Without Gamification)

> Flexible definition of data allows for greater precision of data structure.

Other way around. If there are 3 different ways of doing something, the data structure is less precise. Say you have an object with a Name as a string. You know exactly what this is going to look like in JSON:

{
"name": "Whizzbang"
}

How is it going to look in XML? It might look like this:

<Foo name="Whizzbang" />

It might look like this:

<Foo>
<Name>Whizzbang</Name>
</Foo>

It might look like this:

<Foo>
<Name value="Whizzbang" />
</Foo>

XML is less precise because it's more flexible. "But you just define an XML Schema to disambiguate" -- so now you're doing more work in a separate file that you have to publish and link in just to solve a problem that JSON doesn't have at all.

> Something like XSLT isn't for human interaction; it's for super-powerful machine transformations.

It's only "super-powerful" considering XSLT as a markup language. Considering it as a programming language, it rather sucks. If you're writing ETL scripts to transform data around, use an actual programming language. The fact that XSLT is Turing Complete only drives home the point that it's not a "powerful markup language", it's "poorly-designed programming language". Sure, if you're literally only transforming the exact same data from one XML schema to another, as some sort of adapter step, then XSLT beats general-purpose languages; but you're never just doing that, are you? You're linking in other data sources, validating things, sending things over the wire, etc. You already need the code to save and load your XML into a format you prefer in memory; just use that format for these tasks.

> Any time a dev pushes back against XML, it's been my experience they are uneducated on the subject.

Many people who push back against XML are not uneducated, but rather jaded on it, having worked with ambiguous formats, buggy schemas, and 4000-line long configuration behemoths that should have just been code. You can use XML parsimoniously, but there's not much overlap between the people doing that and the people who love XSLT.

A childish but effective strategy is when someone accuses you of X, you accuse them of the same. A naive listener then can be easily misled. But more importantly if you say X, that gives your followers permission to say X as well. They don't then look crazy to their peers because they say something crazy, because a well-known public figure is also saying the same crazy thing.

> The archea had to evolve a nucleus instantly to keep the bacterial RNA away from it's ribosomes.

I heard another theory that it was actually the archea that engulfed the pre-mitochondria rather than the it accidentally finding itself inside an archea. There's some kinds of archea that occasionally grow some extracellular "appendages" and it's conjectured that it may have had some kind of more typical symbiotic relationship with the two kinds of microbes living in near physical contact. What could have happened is that the archea gradually came to fully engulf the protomitochonria with the appendages evolving into being the full body of modern eukaryotes with the nucleus evolving from the functions that were part of the main archean cell body. Some functions got shuffled between the three compartments as this became more of an obligate relationship.
I almost failed Computer Architecture class back in the day so I might be off base here, but I understand most transistors to be organized into discrete functional units - this part forms a register, this part a control layer, this part an adder, and so on. These units are organized hierarchically of course, but the whole system is based around the neat compartmentalization of transistors based on function. I’m not a betting man, but if I were, I would put all my chips on that not being the case for the brain.

Thus, my complaint of trying the (IMO) lazy approach of “the smallest unit of the computer — the transistor - will be equivalent to the smallest unit of the brain - the neuron”.
