Active safety on big cars struggles tho. In my experience (from rentals) stopping distances are horrendous, handling is awful, everything wobbles like you’re on a roller coaster, and you can barely see where you’re going.

I once drove a Suburban and it had haptic feedback in the seat to warn you that you’re about to drive over something. Because the road in front of the car was literally invisible.
1Password is the way to go for service accounts shared by admins. Not sure if OP is talking about users though. In that case, should definitely pick an SSO solution for as many services as possible.
How do you get an electric furnace hot enough to make various molten metals without all the heating equipment melting? Elon was saying that they would use hydrogen for carbon free high temperature metallurgy. Does this technology replace that?
The piece compares exceptional athletes with average knowledge workers.

It’s not interesting to compare an extraordinary athlete - fill in your favorite professional hall-of-famer or multiple Olympic gold medalist here - to your average knowledge worker. Of course the extraordinary person does things differently.

More interesting to compare an extraordinary knowledge worker instead: top-tier CEO, famed author, Noam Chomsky, Einstein, whatever.

There better be a "founder mode" because "manager mode" is just a proxy for a firm that is run by lawyers, accountants, consultants and bankers. Sharp operators all of them, but none of them cares one iota what the organization actually does.

Management of an enterprize (in general) aims to identify and exercise available options for "creating value" - in whatever terms that is measured. This "options space" is vast and founders versus managers are intimate with very different subsets.
Fascinating article.

Slightly-off-topic:

This article presents the hard science as exceedingly difficult. I kinda suspect part of that is scientists have this attitude of acting completely blind to the hundreds of millions of years of evolution that made us what we are.

For example, if we suppose that microbiome is important to health, and suppose that all human behaviors (e.g. hand-shaking, kissing) I think it gets us pretty quickly toward some great avenues to test. I almost wonder if the imperfect sanitation conditions we evolved in might have conferred some ability to exchange fecal microbes.

Now obviously this doesn't really solve the fact that sequencing a microbiome is incredibly hard. But even without sequencing a microbiome you could probably do a blind test of saliva-swapping vs water and see to what degree this affects self-reported measures. Or if that's too hard to get past IRB, have one towel that's been touched by 50 people and one towel that's completely clean, and see if touching that has any subjective effects.

It feels like the kind of things you could test on 1,000 students in a weekend for free.
You're right. People here will deny it, but who is smarter: someone who attends cushy meetings all week and gets paid millions, or someone who burns themselves out hacking away at code 80 hours a week making $200k a year?

Congrats, you are very smart and know how to manipulate symbols real good. Try cashing that check at the bank.

I think the general issue here is that you can't observe successful businesses or individuals and copy their processes to be successful, because their processes are largely a symptom of their competency, not the cause.

Not a big enough deal. Pedestrian airbags are a thing that have been invented, but are scarecely on cars or trucks. Same with external cameras for better visibility. Lots of dragging feet from the industry.
Air drops might be cheaper than boots on the ground, if that's what it really takes.

I'm not seriously advocating anything. It's a pretty hard problem to solve. Famine in itself, is not so hard, we can solve that with money -- the civil war thing is difficult though.
The specific problem with COBOL is that COBOL is both a language that was badly designed on the day it was created and that there is a stigma against programmers who have worked with it. This stigma is also a problem for other languages such as Visual Basic and PHP and it can make it harder to find programmers willing to work in those languages. Nobody wants to be "unemployable" because they worked in a stigmatized programming language even though the idea of stigmatizing programming languages is objectively idiotic.

This wouldn't be a problem if organizations that are still using COBOL code would pay high salaries for COBOL programmers because there are people who are only writing code for the money who'd be happy to work with a terrible programming language if it makes them money. But they generally also want to pay antiquated salaries from decades ago for COBOL jobs if they even offer a salary at all. Because they would have migrated their system off of COBOL decades ago if they actually cared about properly maintaining it!
Taxi drivers practice at their car everyday, but we don't see many stock car teams poaching experienced taxi drivers to compete as pilots.
Who is the target audience? Insurance companies already have the statistics. Buyers care about occupant safety and would largely ignore a pedestrian safety rating.

If you tried to force it into a combined rating you'd probably make the problem worse because then people would know that large vehicles are being punished in safety ratings and refuse to buy small vehicles even more than they do now because they can't distinguish whether a good safety rating is from occupant or pedestrian safety.

To me the only reason to use C++ over C in that case is a the slightly stronger type-checking and maybe some extra syntactic sugar.

“ could Starbucks live without the office, not it's own office, but the office model, or the modern city model, since most factories are not in cities anymore and in modern city the economy, at least in the west is essentially driven by the tertiary sector and could such modern city model live?”

Plenty of people go to Starbucks that don’t live in big cities. Lots of rural people love SB and those who live in towns of 20-30k or less even.

“ Did you see the impact of the "covid" switch on airlines, hotels NOT due to the lack of tourist but due to the change in working travelers, with conferences moved to remote meeting, business trips much reduced due to remote meetings and so on?”

Yes and it was a shame because we never should have shutdown.

“ A cohort of people who will change mindset if WFH.”

People still went to Starbucks during the shutdown.
It's a pocket-sized "personal computer" bundled with a cellular phone. But it is designed to be "impossible" for the owner to exercise control over it. Garbage.

Of course, for the companies that control these "smartphones", they are not garbage.
You generally want to minimize the number of passwords you manage; for instance, you should generally be paying the SSO tax and getting as many services as you can onto OIDC. After that, just do the cloud version of 1Password, which is easy to audit and manage access for, which you'll thank yourself for when it comes time to SOC2.

Remember, as you give people access to passwords, that those passwords will need to be rotated when those people change to incompatible roles or depart the company. If passwords aren't a total pain in the ass for you, you're probably doing something wrong.
> I get extremely irritated when folks fail to understand that demand is for energy, our energy distribution is interconnected via a grid, and those points make energy a fungible commodity.

And I get irritated when people don't understand basic economic concepts like supply and demand. Texas is overwhelmingly building renewables to meet demand. The more demand there is for energy the more renewables get built, further driving down costs. It's a virtuous cycle.

> Better than powering recycling plants, though, is to stop producing and consuming single-use plastics. A great way to do this is to stop subsidizing recycling programs and bake the energy cost into the product that must eventually be recycled.

Sure, then write a well researched article about it and back it up with facts then post it here. The low effort cynicism farming in TFA isn't helping. In fact it does the opposite because it makes people feel helpless, which only benefits incumbents.
I’ll give it a watch. I had the unusual experience of using RISC OS and NeXTSTEP at roughly the same time from 1991-1996. Until 1996 the only machine I really had that was my own was an Amstrad CPC 464 which had various add-ons and eventually an extra 3.5 inch disk drive attached which made transferring files much easier. For a while I had a cheap MS-DOS luggable and used a serial cable to transfer small text files from the CPC to the Toshiba T1000, eventually getting a slow modem for the CPC.
It's too messy a topic for "proper reasoning". Take is as a viewpoint, not a law of physics.
I don’t think that’s what’s attracting it though.

They’ve been going around demanding 30% of everyone’s revenue, no matter how tenuous the connection. And it’s getting them in trouble.

Sure 30% of smurfberries is fine. That’s their rule, who cares. And they have a rule it doesn’t apply to physical goods, which is why you can order stuff in the Amazon app.

But then they decided that people giving yoga lessons over the time during the lockdowns owed them 30%. And other apps that had been in the store for 15 years suddenly seemed to require 30% when they didn’t before. Want to sell e-books? You have to give Apple 30%. Now there isn’t 30% anywhere to give. But you have to. So saith Apple.

Instead of keeping their cut the same or even lowering it, they’ve been effectively increasing it by deciding their rules apply to more and more apps and services.

Which looks exactly like monopoly jacking up prices.

“Just don’t have an iPhone app” isn’t really viable at this point for a lot of businesses. It’s not 2008.

They didn’t actually need to do any of this. It’s not like they were going to collapse if they didn’t keep deciding to expand what was “theirs”.

And every single time they’ve gotten in a fight with a government they keep doubling down and getting in trouble. Instead of giving an inch they dig in until they’re ordered to give up 12 miles.

I like apple products. I’ve been using them forever. I do not like where the management has been going.
Ha! I have it too. Doesn't feel like 20% but we're out here
Don't. Give them access to all systems they need with their own user/password. That way you can revoke them (if/when necessary) without disrupting everyone else.

Also automate as much as is reasonable, e.g. github access to push code to a dev branch, then enqueue merging of it. But a CI/CD pipeline does the actual deploy, the employee doesn't need to access any of the production systems. A very small number still will, but that's a much better situation.

Give the employee 1Password to manage their own passwords.
I think a great example of the point you're trying to make is taxi drivers and motorsport pilots.
I’m no k3s expert, but this surprised me:

> I noticed that there is only one k3s node that has the control-plane,master role. If that node fails you can no longer manager the cluster.

This feels like a failing of k3s that should be addressed within k3s, rather than adding duct tape elsewhere. Kubernetes has built-in mechanisms (Leases) for handling these kinds of problems.

You’re right you didn’t comment on Apple. That’s why I replied to you. Because while I think you’re correct in general in specific regard to Apple I think this is a bad strategy.

Interesting article. Thanks.
Except in my imaginary scenario, me being the only dealership doing that would bring me much more from beating the competition. So others would need to adopt my model to compete if I were legally able to do what I claim (see my earlier post.)
> It keeps the experience onboard and possibly stops them from consulting for a competitor!

This means the labor market is not operating correctly. For a company to be able to fork out a salary not for production but for protection you've done something really wrong in your monetary policy.
This reminds me of a conversation I was having recently about genetically engineering humans. I think people are greatly underestimating the complexity of the human body and it’s nature mechanisms of adaptation. Everyone is a little different - but that’s okay because all the little feedback loops and receptor sites account for changes. Like a drug addict needing more and more to get their fix. There isn’t just one variable we can adjust to really solve most problems. You have to look at the entire web of interconnected systems and modulate how each of them work together. We sort of take it all for granted since life is so abundant, but it’s truly nothing short of miraculous.
Can anyone here verify that Dexcom has updated their iPhone app to cease collecting customer metadata?

As recently as three months ago, Dexcom's G7 app made hundreds of daily connections both to dexcom's own servers and third party metrics servers. Note that this was the case regardless of whether you opted out of their online services (like sharing).

I checked my firewall logs before I posted this comment, and suddenly I no longer see these queries. Since I have two years history of monitoring and blocking similar Dexcom traffic, it's hard for me to believe they actually stopped.

I would welcome stronger laws to stop this sort of behavior. I'm essentially a captive audience to a maker of expensive medical gear, and it's a lousy feeling to have them slurping up data about me every time I check my blood sugar.
Please don't take this the wrong way but I'm very curious if either of you have heavily modified your diet in an effort to remove part of the pain cycle? A low inflammatory diet might help from my own personal experience with diabolical pain.

I think this is a classical case of survivorship bias.

What about all those companies operating in founder mode that ended up being a disaster? What about all other companies that transitioned away from founder mode and worked even better afterwards? Both categories are conveniently neglected.

Take Apple for example.

Steve Jobs is mentioned 3 times in the essay. He seems to be the main prototype for a CEO in founder mode for pg.

Yet, in the book Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson, Jobs is quoted as saying:

"I am very proud of the many products we have created, but the thing I am most proud of is creating the company that was able to create the products. I think of Apple as the most important work of my life."

This statement reflects Jobs' belief that the culture and company he built at Apple were his greatest achievements, as they allowed for continuous innovation long after any single product launch. And long after his death Apple is still thriving.

So is Apple still in founder mode with Jobs gone or is Apple in a different mode that pg hasn’t recognized?

> their networks and their decades of knowledge accessible.

Having that experience outside the company doesn't magically make it inaccessible, it just means they have to pay a fair rate, along with everyone else, for access to it.

What it allows is them _monopolizing_ those networks and knowledge and ensuring no one else can access it.

This is not a good outcome.
Is it a mammoth or an elephant that looks like a mammoth:

"To produce the calves, Colossal scientists will first identify the genes encoding the woolly mammoth's most emblematic physical traits, such as shaggy hair, curved tusks, fat deposits and a dome-shaped cranium. They will then insert these genes into the genome of closely related, and therefore genetically similar, Asian elephants (Elephas maximus)."

They're not actually taking a full mammoth set of DNA and inserting that into an elephant egg to grow into a mammoth, which they'd done with earlier animals referenced in the article.

Also - how do they know the mother can actually handle it? Seems pretty cruel to make the mother carry an edited child that she might not be capable of handling.

"I also have another less optimistic prediction: as soon as the concept of founder mode becomes established, people will start misusing it."

I have knowledge of how management worked in a Musk company, and this "Mini Me" phenomenon was entirely real. People saw how Elon did things, and tried to emulate him at their level. This almost always crushed team dynamics, and led to the least technically capable making important technical decisions.

Elon (eventually) recognizes bs like this and makes those folks walk the plank; but... the damage is done, and must be un-done. There is a cost to allowing "Mini Me"s outsized influence.
The “cost of power” given you already have the batteries is dirt cheap. The question is about the levelized cost o energy to build the capacity in the first place
The question is, what regulation? If you just try to ban or heavily tax larger vehicles, well, there are legitimate reasons to have those sometimes. Businesses need trucks and you don't want heavy taxes on innocent small businesses. Parents involved in school activities are regularly transporting entire sports teams etc. and putting a dozen kids in two vehicles is safer and more efficient than three or four vehicles.

So you need some way to distinguish the people buying large SUVs for these reasons from the people buying them out of schlong insufficiency, but nobody seems to have a good way to do that.
> I would still posit that the second order marginal utility of those 20 cents is higher in hands of somebody who needs it. In the same way you talk about how that 20 cents impacts the derivative of “progress”, think about how those 20 cents would impact the derivative of the people it’s redistributed to.

The innovation that happens because people build companies and technologies that they go on to sell in public markets impacts every single human going forward as long as there is not a disaster. Meanwhile, the 20 cents of marginal utility is used once and according to the recent study on how people used a universal basic income, not to great effect.

You only need one transistor, vaccine, airplane, refrigeration level invention every few decades to justify how much more impactful it is.
> And they opened discussion in an incredibly hostile manner and have made no attempt to work with us.

So how much is the max score? Is there an end, or are we cursed to eternal bug-squashing?
That statement is only true in aggregate. If you you're taxing individual vehicle owners SUVs will still get taxed way less than trucks.
You may as well just throw everything in the trash then. You should be cleaning your recyclables. If the bin is "dirty" then you are doing it wrong.
