What does it take to fold my laundry? Not a joke. I'll pay.

> Which makes sense: Apple is Product Vision & UX focused, Meta (and most other companies) are Product Delivery & User Consumption focused.

They are not competing goals.

All companies have to show progress.

Apple can afford to show finished products because it has multiple product lines. At any given time, at least one product line is shipping a finished version.

Meta, on the other hand, won't be shipping a finished product for their pitch ("Meta"-verse) anytime soon. So they have to be content with work-in-progress.

Peter, you are a good attorney and your services are on point. But man you take forever to reply to emails. Our processing time changed while waiting for your response.

Do you have plans to scale up your operation? Or maybe you can recommend other immigration lawyers? You can charge referral fees while you scale up your process.

This. Err'ing towards goodness is the way to go but only with humans. Personifying machines, especially in second person, is the first step in disillusioning yourself.

But why can't the inability to make a sharp turn be explained by the need to arrest forward momentum? The momentum has to change direction. Turning 90 degrees causes sudden loss in velocity. Turning against the arc of the turn i.e. along the orbit of the turn transfers the forward momentum into angular momentum. Thus, a counterturn is just an efficient way for the bike to follow the arc.

Higher the velocity, the larger the arc required.

Which companies would use this and why? Data worth making private is also worth some $$ to the business hosting it.

Find out if there is interest from a competitor. If yes, get an LOI and find another competitor. Once you have 3-5 LOIs and maybe even a deposit, quit and start a company.

I don't think these laws are meant for ordinary citizens. They are meant to aid policing orgs in catching and stopping criminals when police can't catch them. For example, the police can't come up with evidence that someone is selling drugs but they might be able to prove that someone is making money from drugs (which is not a crime) and not paying taxes on it (which is a crime.)

1. Google 5 help desk postings that meet your requirement 2. Make a resume with skills relevant to help desk 3. Take points from postings in 1 and add them to your resume in 2 3. Google a list of top job boards like indeed, LinkedIn and create a profile there 4. Google job boards specifically for help desk and make a profile there 5. Google companies that have postings for help desk 6. Everyday apply to 10 jobs on each of 3,4,5

While doing 6, apply to other jobs too like IT admin, customer service agent, bookkeeping, virtual assistant, secretary, exec assistant, and anything and everything else.

This is a game if numbers, apply to as many as possible as fast as possible. Kee doing this everyday, every week till you get it. Be creative, exhaustive, and bold at each step.

>> Reducing the scope of the sprint to something that should be very easy to deliver on

Are you telling them to reduce scope or working with them to take some of the work away? Try the latter, ensure they have ownership over the reduction and that the reduction is not prescribed.

>> Daily 1:1 10 minute meetings with each seemed to be a burden on a everyone and didn't lead to productive conversations. * Creating a rigid structure for the daily standup (Usually a ~5 minute meeting) but people seem to indicate everything is fine until 3-4 days before the end of the sprint.

In the standups, you may need to probe to understand what they actually accomplished and whether they are on track to finish the sprint.

Look at positions that ask for prototyping engineers. The goal is to get it working anyway possible. You're not going to bogged down by larger programming concepts, reusability, performance, etc. Try fast growing startups with the culture of shipping fast.

I went from working at a large company to writing software for a startup and had the unlearn a lot of these concepts. Since you don't care for these concepts anyways, you'll probably be a better prototype engineer than I ever was. Also, look at related fields that require scientific programming using tools such as matlab as they also (mostly) focus more on getting the solution working rather than how it works.

I resort to the down key to make the scrollbar appear without losing my position in the doc. In fact, in Preview, my default workflow is to click on the main content panel as soon as the doc open; else the down key might take me to the next page, which defeats the purpose.

Has the current political climate affected Canada to US TNs or are they still being issued as before? Any particular port of entry that you'd favor/avoid?

What you want to do is ponder over how common functionality around you must work - if you can't come up with a reasonable solution, it's time to google it and learn it. If you can come up with a reasonable solution, google to check if you're correct.

This is the most pragmatic way I've found to learn and stay in touch.

See if you can work with them to plan your code before you guys write it. And afterwards, if you can do a code review for each other. This is hard in startups but it can avoid a lot of bugs downstream; cuz I'm guessing you don't really have any QA either.

Log out. When you end up on the home page anyways, it'll be your cue to pause, think, and then act. Decide that it is not a good idea to log in. Ctrl+tab to your work and keep trying to make progress. Repeat above till you make some actual progress.

Take a step back and examine why are you craving this comfort -- what in your life is lacking that makes so uncomfortable that you want to soothe it with internet immediately.

Sounds like you don't have enough data - go spend a year on energy, then in AI, then in healthcare to learn about them. Then you'll have the data to make a decision that you can probably be happy with.

Also note that this decision paralysis has already led you to one regret: not getting anything done. If you still believe you should pursue regret-minimization, then I suggest start doing something (anything, really) right away.

And I would be careful about the "should" vs. "want". Thinking about it that way will just never make you happy because you'll be always wondering about the path you didn't take. I don't know what the answer is but it's just something to be aware of.

Personally, I think about "should"s. Only after that do I think about "wants". Then I start by doing the wants and try to see how it would merge with a should. Because someone once said, "Start by doing what's necessary; then do what's possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible."

Also, find better recruiters.

I call this escapism. It is the inability to be mindful and focus on what is happening in front of us right at this moment but rather distracting ourselves with thoughts of a better situation.

Better situation is relative to the situation you find yourself in. So it changes with every situation you find yourself in.

He's basically saying "guns don't kill people. People kill people".

Replace "guns" with "technology".

Yes absolutely. Managing a manager is hard. Objectives and accountability are easy to get muddled because their tasks are all people based. I am still looking for a practical and resource-efficient way to manage.

Manager jobs are significantly more stressful and harder to train for than individual contributors. And my personal opinion is that good managers are much rarer than individual contributors.

The gap in the callback was only a week. The HR person might not have filed it with the government.

Internal company records don't matter for shits.

I've been looking at this space for a while. Will likely implement ERPNext soon.

I would refrain from attaching value judgments like "mature enough." As far as mental health conditions go, you just don't know what issues are going on within a person or indeed facing a population.

The data only shows that you are not Instagram's power user. It's that simple.

+ Canada

I think it's more than incremental speed up - it's the amount of mindspace it takes.

This is awesome guys. To reply to all the people that are like this is not a big enough problem, tell them that this is the start and then tell them what is the next stage of your company.

To me, it sounds like a personal assistant that can automatically reply for you to fairly complex emails. We get SO MUCH email, maybe this will actually help us manage all that.

It is a very powerful idea, all the best to you.

Awesome! Thanks!

Any chance you want to do one on compression of a integer time series? How about variable length integers? Such an article would be very appreciated in IoT circles since data (timed voltage values) transfer and storage can get quite expensive for dollars and latency.

Cheers!

Then why doesn't the metric account for companies that have not shutdown and not exited, i.e. have grown beyond a certain value? Isn't that closer to the most favorable founder outcome?
