On a bit of a tangent, something very similar happened to me recently -- splashed out ~£300 for a product and after about 4 weeks of no further contact from the company, turns out it was a scam, and the sender shut down the corporation, website, wiped it from the various archive sites etc.

Fortunately I'd paid using my Amex, and American Express support were incredibly helpful in making me whole pretty much right away. I recall the payment gateway being a Stripe thing, so I really hope the scammer got hit hard somehow.
Ditto. I imagined it like leaving a post-it note on a page. If you found a fix for a product you could leave a note on the company's FAQ page. Problem is spam, in all it forms. Can you imagine political pages?
I live in Japan, try changing your OS language from English to Japanese - in Japanese a lot of things switch to defaulting to Shift-JIS instead of UTF-8 when nothing is specified.
Yes. Risk. There's a large online community around it now and lots of YouTube videos of people playing it to a high strategic level. There's all sorts of signalling going on between players and bots are easy to counter even at the highest settings.

There's plenty to Ruby outside of Rails. Many of us hardly touch Rails - even in the web space there is a wide range of other frameworks.

I tend to agree there's much cruft in the Rails space, but I also hardly ever interact with the Rails crowd.

Now days you can get an Bambulab a1 mini for ~335 that has auto leveling, auto z offset, nozzle pressure sensor and can do a 14 minutes benchy.

You can also get a Prusa mini is ~2 times the money of your Ender v2.
The Pixel 9 might come with exclusive "Pixie" AI assistant
I've always tried to build GUIs declaratively, but always failed to see the advantages over a traditional imperative building blocks. It's all good if we want to display a static dialog box, which is always the same, but complications arise when we want to do some nonstandard stuff. And this "nonstandard" is defined differently depending on the framework, but for some frameworks this status is achieved pretty easily.

With declarative + nonstandard we end up with some declarations, which are not the GUI we expect it to be, plus imperative code that mutates this anyway. So it's like we don't have the advantages of declarations, and we still need to write the code to build the GUI.

Oh, as a tool I see a ton of use: personally for image processing (sharpening, noise reduction) even if I can perfectly live without it, professionally I see a ton of potential use in optimizing planning (supply chain, production, scheduling, netwrok planning...) by proposing scenarios and supporting the people doing said planning. I don't need AI to search the internet for me, summarize a book (if it is worth or important enough for me, I just read it) or all the other stuff AI currently is doing.
I don’t see why this is conceptually hard to achieve with reverse osmosis.

HFT provides liquidity, makes markets more efficient, prices more accurate and narrows spreads. Moving money around as accurately as possible increases the accuracy of allocating funds where they should be. Everything in the World and economy is connected. Accurate prices, efficient trading conditions allow for better allocation of funds on targets worthwhile pursuing.

On the whole you can think that there's Company A and Company B, where both produce different amounts of value. There's an optimal state of how much each company should be funded in order for optimal value production from both together. The more accurate you are with allocating funds the best are the gains.

So in that sense it's not zero sum.
The only real competition seems to be Meta, which is another behemoth.

How Nintendo Zapper Worked
The person is praising Activation Lock and criticizing the fact you can skip setting it up. Yet you want to turn it into a claim Activation Lock is a bad thing.

Nothing more than the typical ‘hurr durr Apple bad’ commenting common on this site. Dull, pointless, not interesting.
They attempted to acquire a specific tech of Masimo, but changed their approach to hiring key resources of it instead of partnering with the company (or acquiring (parts of) it).

The aftermath is this lawsuit, which illustrates that Apple needed their hires to build something that was already existing in Masimo and would have been subject of that partnership.

I'm sure this "brainrape" strategy often works flawlessly, especially on smaller companies. But in this case the tech was already patented.
How to create a design for a startup MVP in 7 days

>Some do, not all do. I do much better in a room with ~6 people that are working on the same project. Much better than working at home. Much better than a private office (which I've had).

I wonder how many of these remaining 5 people have a take similar to me. WFH is where I'm most productive and most happy to work. Doing the kind of work you describe above "with 6 people on one project" is for 90% of the time an exercise in babying the least up to speed team member at the cost of distracting everyone.

I get it, some people just like being around people and doing stuff "together", and some types of work may even benefit from that when stars align(brainstorming etc). Most types of work I do in software don't. Especially now, post covid when WFH became normalised and people who were opposed to it on various grounds were forced to learn how to use it effectively.

>* asking quick questions and getting an instant answer. vs chat where I may not get an answer for hours.

That's what the phone is for, with additional benefit of status from everyone. If I see someone is busy I don't phone them I look for someone else, If I see they are "green" I do and I get my answer instantly without disturbing anyone.

>running ideas by others. This doesn't happen on chat for me, and VC is too scheduled

Again, same thing. Pick up a phone. If you just want to run something "by everyone". Wait for your daily/weekly team meeting and ask then. Yes, it forces you to write ideas down not to forget them (if they can wait), but it's massively more convenient to everyone else.

> * brainstorming. Same as above

I had many a good brainstorming session online (mostly with voice). What do you need to accomplish it is:
- good audio equipment, Internet access and a quiet location for everyone. No calling into a meeting "from my car, while going to the doctor", or "from the office while people are talking in the background", no "crappy headphones etc". All this ruins productivity for everyone. If people are using cameras(which is nice) everyone has to have the bandwidth for it. Also if you have more than 5 people in your meeting, make use of the "raise hand" feature. Then brainstorming can happen very well. Especially while looking at a document/whiteboard together with systems that show you in real time what everyone does.

In fact above a certain number of people (8 maybe) brainstorming sessions seem a lot more effective to me online than in person. Why? Because you have few communication channels. You have the shared whiteboard/document, voice, and chat so while someone is talking you can post a question to the chat without interrupting.

>getting a feeling for what everyone is up to

That's what regular planning meeting is for.

>feeling part of a team, working on the same thing

I suppose that's a personal thing, but I always felt that including during my 7 years of WFH 100%.

Edit: there is only one real disadvantage to WFH, and it's for junior people wanting to learn. It's much harder to gather knowledge by osmosis, just by being in the office if most senior people are WFH. But then as a leader one has to decide what is more important.
I wrote a short essay about using a little known economic system to combat black ball technologies in Nick Bostrom's sense.

You're presumably in America, where they essentially have two kinds of produce: cheap and expensive. Not too much of a middle ground there.

If you produce the former, the shop will purchase large amounts and distribute them to a large audience. You couldn't possibly sell that quantity yourself. The value added is obvious, and their margin is relatively low anyway.

If you produce the latter, the shop will be taking higher margins, but they're much more involved in marketing your product, since they're taking a risk by associating it with their upper-class lifestyle brand. Again clear value added.
And some people don't want to stop interacting just to cater to you, and some people want you to answer their question immediately so they don't break their flow.

And I have sometimes seen people saying things similar to you, and then being loud or distracting when it was more convenient for them.

I understand your position, but as usual with these discussion, everything seems to always centered about "what I would prefer" rather than trying to understand everyone's needs.
There are many works on this topic which are of academic nature?
Oura (as in Oura Ring) is referring to some of those and is also holding patents on the subject. I wonder how Oura is dealing with this as their ring also has an SpO2 sensor.

Patents are never about innovation. Not in a sense that applies to everyone.

I still think that all law suites should be paid for by the government. Both defence and offence. This would have a sort of balancing out effect and then make law actually be more applicable for everyone.

Maybe sounds radical. But think about it. In a democracy law should be equally useful to all citizens. It clearly is not.
I certainly don't have the same mattress as I did in 2003.
Also the industrial revolution happened, which massively drove down the cost of things. Nothing comparable happened for experiences. A restaurant today needs a similar amount of labor to make your meal as a tavern did 400 years ago. Their ingredient costs went down, but waiters and cooks do about the same amount of work, and property values haven't gone down. Meanwhile the amount of work to make a knife has been drastically slashed through technological progress.

Wasn't the whole point that they removed that restriction during the declared "emergency library" period, despite previously doing CDL properly? They were still loaning out DRM'd files, with a limit on the number that a given user could have on loan, but crucially no longer a limit on the number of simultaneous users on a single title. Breaking the whole point of CDL which is to mimic the "move semantics" of a physical item

You're not explaining why prices are high, you are justifying your existing beliefs about "money printing" and taxation. Costs (including taxes) are only very loosely related to prices. They only serve as a lower bound, and not even always that.

Taxes are not the reason for the massive price increases. Indeed, you point out high energy prices, which were met with suspension of energy taxes in many European countries, with little effect. VAT was slashed for many sectors, still, prices went up.

If anything, taxes are too low. Many tax rates are at a historic low. European billionaires stole a trillion Euros from the population last year alone. Why people are always so enraged about the taxes that pay for every single public utility instead of the unlimited greed of the hyperwealthy who don't even know what to do with their money because the luxury wharfs are completely booked out and they already own two private jets?
The way you “kick back” when wronged in business is a lawsuit. Anything else is bush league.
Not really, since in the context of a store, "location" often refers to an instance rather than it's location coordinates.

A better analogy would be saying the store's address is closed. Doesn't make sense.
> At this stage I’m just distrustful of anything he’s said or written, including these arbitrary design principles.

Absolutely agree with this.

I was a huge fan of clean code, when I first read his books I was fascinated that this man knows what he is talking about, and this is The way how to write code.

Then as my knowledge grew, watched a lot of talks, read more books on the topic and learned new languages that gave me different perspectives, I noticed he borrowed a lot of advices form other experts and put it in a way that was a misinterpretation of the idea of the original author. And through his books he distributed this "knowledge" to a lot of people who became dogmatic to his "teachings".
I saw many interviews when the candidate was rejected because of the wrong interpretation of some clean code principles by the hiring manager/lead developer, and the candidate got it right.

There's also the very, very big (and very hidden) opportunity cost of always incurring the danger of having your Google account getting nuked by Google itself, with almost no possibility of recourse, for some small payment inconsistency related to any of their products, no matter how big or small.

That's why I personally would never pay Google other than for very basic and needed stuff like GMail, I wouldn't want my email account nuked and my life momentarily turned upside down because of some payment misunderstandings related to their streaming service, let's say.

Be careful, but don’t beat yourself up over it. Many CNC milling shops regularly run jobs that cannot succeed without a human gripping the workpiece to control vibration.

The folks I really worry about are the waterjet cowboys. The garnet particles that lend a waterjet the power to cut titanium get embedded inches from the site of the wound, if that stream touches skin. Amputation one or two joints up from the wound is standard treatment.
> I suspect you’re using an incorrect but emotive word to get your point across.

Very well, I’ll leave it to you to come up with a more semantically accurate way to describe the essence of, “we’re going to poke around in your genitals under threat of violence”.

> I don’t disagree, but time is a factor in one of the busiest airports in the world with 10+ planes grounded while they wait.

And what exactly prevented the planes from leaving? It would’ve been quite straightforward to give these people an option. Something like, “if you’re comfortable with a physical inspection, you may leave immediately afterwards on your regular flight. If not, we need you to miss this flight while we run the DNA tests and will accommodate your replacement flight and interim stay”. And yes, all costs for such a delay should be covered for the innocent people subjected to it. Don’t tell me Qatar can’t afford it. Being short on time is a poor justification for the decision which was made.

> Is inserting a needle to take blood rape? What about people being seen at a nudist beach?

You’ve gone some way to answer your own questions here, with the key point being consent. People at a nude beach have indeed consented to being seen nude, so it’s all good. If you walk up and try to start putting things in their genitals against their will under threat of violence, it’s still rape.

> In addition, the line for what's ethical, peoples bodily rights etc are different in Qatar - something anyone entering the country has a responsibility to know.

Oh yep, every travel ad helps clarify. “Discover the enchanting beauty of Qatar, where tradition meets modernity. From the dazzling skyline of Doha to the serene sand dunes of the desert, Qatar invites you to a world of unparalleled experiences.

You may be subject to genital inspection under gunpoint at the whim of the state at any time regardless of your involvement in any crimes, but don’t let that stop you! Book a lovely trip to Qatar today!”

They’re always so clear about it. I don’t know how anyone could miss it. The commonly understood expectations for stricter modesty in behavior and apparel are very different than what we’re talking about in this thread.

> You're projecting western values over them and demanding their culture bends to your view.

I have demanded nothing. I have criticized what I view as Qatar’s ridiculous solution to the problem with which they were presented, and others are free to criticize the opinions I hold in turn.

Well, if you don't answer instantly, then you are stopping them in their flow.

I've noticed this some times ago and now I cannot unsee it: this all discussion is too often about "what is best for me and my flow even if it ruins other people's flow" rather than discussing a proper solution.

In the UK we have cheaper energy tariffs at night for charging EVs. It’s about a quarter of the price as during the day. As I understand it this is because we overproduce on renewables at night.
I agree with your point in general, and disagree with the OP's sentiment. However, seigniorage via central bank Interest Rates is considered a tax by most economists (or at least most economists would reasonably accept an argument that it was tax as legitimate), and does materially impact prices.

As a result, it's not entirely correct to say that tax rates haven't increased in Europe over the last 2 years.
For most cases, I agree. I think almost anyone with the time and determination can get to 95th percentile or up in a non-physical pursuit.

When I read your account of your onboarding at two different companies, I can only see a company with a good culture and another company with a poor culture.

Similarly, if you had onboarded the second company on-site, nobody would have cared about how you were doing.
