It's making decisions, in the weeds, across functional boundaries and some form of micromanaging.

He's right. I've worked in small and large companies and started one. The whole idea of hiring smart people and letting them do a good job is total nonsense. It doesn't even make sense in theory, let alone practice.

i generally consider myself a hard worker and i have done plenty of overtime in my career. i would feel pity for anyone who felt this way about any company, unless they were literally curing cancer or giving us infinite energy.

I do disagree. I don’t believe a food giant such as Evian to tell the truth. I don’t believe McDonalds or Starbucks either. It’s only told for advertising purpose, at least since the 80s if not more.
Athletes and musicians pursue fundamentals because they have time; their “work” occurs in intense but short bursts of performances, leaving them the rest of their days to practice. Knowledge workers don’t “practice” because their job (long-term research or whatever) demands much more time and commitment.

> If there's some negative externality you think the market isn't capturing, well, capture that externality. Put a number on it; don't make it a moral issue.

The problem is that the people not paying for these externalities don't want to, have no incentive to, and are not required to. They lobby to avoid laws and regulations that would make them do it.

So meanwhile we have people dying due to air and water pollution created by people who don't want to pay for their externalities. FooCorp doesn't care if the country's health care costs go up because of that; they still make more money than they would if they had to pay for their externalities.

The economic argument doesn't work, so it's a little hard not to frame it as a moral issue instead.
I'm still in academia, and IEEE runs quite a few high-quality / top-tier journals and conferences in my research area (TAC, TRO, RA-L, LCSS, ACC, CDC, etc.) I'm a part of the control systems society, and their Controls Systems Magazine is a good read. On the perhaps more trivial side an Overleaf professional subscription was included with my membership.

So again, there are benefits. But I am frustrated that I'm being advertised to and having my data sold to third-party companies after paying over $200 per year for a membership. I also have issues with journal paywalls, but this is slowly changing as open access journals become more common.
I'd hope thats included in the energy calculations.
Many top-tier knowledge workers are also teachers, who review their fundamentals every time they teach them, and whose ideas are regulary vetted students in class discussions.

He does clarify, in the linked reply, that he didn't provide examples or go into detail about what exactly "founder mode" is or how it should be done because it needs a lot of research and would more or less require a whole book to explain.
The same here. Being a member for ca. 9 years. After they made IEEE Spectrum digital only and even badges digital only, I completly lost my interest due to high expenses and limited overall value. Those two little physical things were a real bond to IEEE.

Maybe it works for specialists in the narrow fields, but as I shifted from electronics to IT, I could not find real benefits for myself there, even in the "Computer" section.
"Better" is doing a lot of heavy lifting. In my town they took down the automated red light ticket machines on many corners because people quit running the lights. So the machines weren't gathering monies in tickets yet they still cost the city to have them.

Better needs to mean something other than gather revenue. And it don't with automated things.

I find the word "git" perfectly appropriate here.
Could be the opposite.

Part of the problem is that carmakers refuse to sell small cars. If you don’t believe me try to buy a small car at a car dealership in America.

Consumers are angry about rising costs, particularly for automobiles, and having a choice to buy an affordable vehicle could be surprisingly popular.

For instance I think electric vehicle adoption is stalled because there aren’t many people who can afford a $105k pickup truck with limited range while towing (e.g. you might really need a big-ass vehicle if you trailer your horse to Ocala, FL every year, but no way you are going to make your animals sit through 20-30 charging stops). A $20k electric with (say) a 60 mile range would get me to and from work and able to do shopping and would be a great second or third car for many households.

All it takes is asking BYD what they need to enter the market.
The real danger with plastic is that it'll go to some under regulated recycler which picks out the 30% of plastic that it can recycle and then dumps the rest in the nearest river. If I put it in the trash in a modern country I can be sure it'll at least end up in a land fill or the equivalent. And in contrast to the incredibly wonderful glass and aluminium recycling systems plastic recycling doesn't really save that much production energy.
Really any time you're using a distributed system, you should ask yourself, do I need retries? Do I need circuit breakers? Do I need rate limits?

The answers are probably either "yes" or "yes, but not yet."
Perhaps the digging energy is included, but not the "lack of a hole in the ground" benefit.
But, he's right.

I'd rather a C- college essay that is saying something right than an A+ that is very convincing bs. A decent number of well rated business books are the latter.
This is a killer comment. Thank you.
I have been suffering of this lately, ironically because I'm venturing into business.

I find huge gaps in my ability to rigorously read (and push through) boring (but important) paperwork. Take notes and do the required work afterwards (or take an important decision because of what I have read).

I find it very difficult to organize myself (and others) to do chores especially ones that are very disruptive and not technical.

I'm starting to see the value of project managers and other non-technical or semi-technical people in the companies. Their work now seems much more difficult than I imagined previously. Their skills are much less "interesting" and maybe "easier" in isolation, but in the same time they need to perform at high levels constantly.
That's all well and good, but many people cannot afford a car that costs $25K more than they intended on paying (no matter how slick the salesperson).
Is there any announcement for this new Hyper disk feature? That's something I was interested for a long time and I would have missed it if not for this HN post :D

As a follow-up of the availability topic: what's the best to simulate a zone outage on GCP?

Typicality, for this kind of disks (or previously "regional persistent disks"), you want to test that whatever automation you have for failing over to the secondary zone works correctly.
It would be great also to be able to test other kind of failures at the zone level.
I keep mine because overall it saves me $50 on conference fees per year, I'd have cancelled it otherwise.

There are very very few paved roads where the largest vehicles on them are large SUVs. I live on a mountain near a road where commercial vehicles are banned and we still get a few large commercial vehicles per day.

One of the roads up the mountain has switchbacks near the top that are so tight that nothing longer than 18 feet is allowed up, but at least 2x a week a box truck gets stuck.

Heavy cars have many negative impacts but road maintenance isn’t one worth worrying about.

I thought a class of entirely non-tech art students how to use the commandline to run their python code within an hour and that includes distractions like people using multiple different operating systems and explai ing how paths work on each. Tech inclined students get the gist of the whole thing in less than 15 minutes.

The CLI is literally just: You write a command and a thing happens. That isn't a thing that people get hung up on. The main weirdness you need to tell them about is how to select/copy/paste and use the history. Throw in a lesson about how paths work. Sure the commands need to be remembered but for a start you basically just need pwd, cd and python/python3.

You are not doing your students a service if you try to teach them programming by shielding them from anything that could give them a feel for the systems they develope for.
I'm wearing one now, bought it when it came out, because I love fitness trackers and the "Quantified Self" idea. Not convinced it's really going to change much, probably won't repurchase. That said, it is great to see costs and accessibility drop to the point that over-the-counter purchases are feasible (~100USD/mo).

It's pretty cool, completely painless to implant (didn't even realize it went in), but made my arm surprisingly sore for a few day. I don't think the science of interpreting glucose levels is clear and deterministic enough to find actionable insight from the data unless you're generally concerned about being pre-diabetic. Seeing a glucose spike isn't bad, and not seeing a spike isn't bad. If you're not diabetic or pre-diabetic, your body will adjust and maintain homeostasis, so the data isn't particularly actionable. Oh and the packaging has a TON of waste. Each sensor comes with a single-use applicator which a prescription user would re-use for months.

PS - I’d love to see better and more accessible monitors or testers for things that your body can’t self regulate as easily, like cholesterol levels.

Right, but how do we handle everyone refueling every single night?

The answer is we don't, because not everyone refuels at once, but bearjaws asked "how we could ever handle everyone plugging in a 1-10kwh charger at home every night for potentially hours", which is equally invalid.
This was all caused by the CAFE emissions standards that allow cars with bigger footprints to emit more. Nobody wants bigger trucks, and in the Tacoma community it's a standard refrain to bemoan just how fucking big they've gotten. They aren't compact trucks anymore. They're midsize today. Compact trucks do not exist.

Training is work but their main “events” are just much shorter than say that of a programmers. Even the longest athletic event like TdF lasts only several weeks. A programmer or lawyer worker 9 to 5 (at a minimum) doesn’t have time after work to practice.

I might agree if it was actually zero sum, but as far as I know we still make new plastic from oil pumped out of the ground. Demand for recycled plastic is simply indirect demand for new plastic.

Even if all plastic was recycled, there is still the issue of microplastics polluting our water and food supply.
I don't agree with the premise or the conclusion. There's little reason to own a car in a dense, urban area with a functional public transport system. I wouldn't bother to maintain a car if I lived in the middle of Tokyo or Amsterdam, but when you get away from the urban core, most people still own and need cars in Japan and the Netherlands.

Milk before tea cannot still be a class marker, though. To do milk before tea necessitates the use of a teapot but I would say using a teapot makes one seem more posh than poor.

The investigative report shows the facility is funded by ExxonMobil.

So, O&G is still trying to greenwash their wanton production of virgin plastic through recycling programs? It’s been decades since O&G’s own researchers (and later suppressed) determined recycling was not commercially viable. Public is already aware of this (woman who started own investigation with AirTags was skeptical of city claims). A mere 5% of plastic produced is recycled [1]

The real headline here is Houston (effectively O&G’s backyard) public officials are clueless.

As someone who regularly drives on German highways, including the Autobahn, I may ad my two cents. While German drivers are often praised for their discipline, the reality I've observed, especially in unlimited speed sections of the Autobahn, can be quite different.

Many drivers there seem to focus primarily on their perceived right to drive as fast as they want, often creating dangerous situations for others who may be able to or want to drive as fast and thus often not have time to react. I've witnessed numerous close calls and risky maneuvers that don't align with the idealized view of German driving discipline.

That said, the significant difference in road fatality rates between Germany and the US suggests there are indeed factors contributing to safer roads in Germany. However, from my experience, it's not simply due to more careful drivers across the board. Other elements like road design, vehicle safety standards, strict enforcement of traffic laws, and comprehensive driver education systems likely play crucial roles, see the pathway to a german drivers license which includes about 9 hours of practice training with a driving instructor.

Rather than looking abroad for examples of driver behavior, it might be more productive for the US to focus on improving road safety through comprehensive measures. This could include enhancing driver education, implementing stricter enforcement of existing traffic laws, and investing in safer road infrastructure.

The goal should be to create a system that encourages and facilitates safer driving for everyone, regardless of individual driver attitudes. While there's certainly room for improvement in American driving habits, the solution likely lies in systemic changes rather than simply emulating perceived behaviors from other countries.

I hate that doctors are gatekeepers of so many things. Why should a small computer that measures blood sugar be gated behind a doctor in the first place?

The only reason I can think of is: supply is short and they need to be preserved for diabetics.

But if supply is not short, why should I need to go through a gatekeeper to measure my own biometrics?

Same with glasses. If I want to buy a pair of glasses with arbitrary optical properties, why shouldn't I be able to?

Seems like the medical world is sometimes a bit too paternalistic, probably to keep themselves cemented as middle men, like a car dealer preventing consumers from buying directly from source.

To be fair, certain things are dangerous and probably should be gated behind a doctor for safety reasons, but sometimes I think Rx fever gets a bit out of hand.

I have two indoor bins: one for plastics/recycling and one for garbage. I line both with trash bags.

Unfortunately, the city gets very upset about the recyclable materials being in plastic bags (something about it messing up their machines). I like it better this way because I don't have an indoor bin full of loose, used plastics and paper which feels unorganized and dirty.

I feel like these small, yet annoying, inconveniences hurt participation (in addition to the countless stories of plastics and garbage just being thrown into the same hole in the ground, or into an ocean patch off the coast of some other country).

Your comment doesn't seem to describe you in a founder role, because founders don't do overtime. Whether or not it's healthy, and it often comes with a price, the entire concept is there's no separation (at least in the early days) between them and the company. They embody the company. So they aren't working hard or doing overtime, they're doing "whatever it takes". The grandparent concept is alluding to this different.
Perhaps I am mistaken and "git" in this context is simply an acronymn for "gastro-intestinal tract". Maybe capitalization would make this more obvious to those of us not directly involved in that space or a definition of "git" somewhere in the paper that defines use of the term in that context. If that already happened then I missed it.

Thanks for pointing this out.
As an exited founder who left 2 years after acquisition, this really put into words thoughts that I’ve had leading up to me leaving.

Founders can sometimes be walking contradictions of being hyper self critical and also have supreme confidence. Going from a 50 employee startup to being a part of a multinational corporation is a “corporate shock” that makes a founder think they are out of their depths and should just follow the corporate’s lead.

The founder vs manager mode definitely resonates with me. However, the lack of concrete success stories of “founder mode” (whatever that may mean) leads to most founders giving up their reigns to the horde of corporate MBAs and quietly quitting after their holdback period is over.

Why exert so much effort trying to paddle a canoe and steering against the giant cruiseship that is the mothership corporation, when you should just go start another company and reap your potential reward.
