we have some of these systems at AWS where you need two people to approve a commit, or a type of change operation. Basically, introduce friction at various points in the name of safety.

I haven't been an IOS developer in year but there used to be (in the IOS7 days) a way to run some limited tasks in the background, especially to handle push notifications IIRC. Sounds like this is an improvement - but isn't this

Wonder if this can be worked like normal wood and can be produced in the standard dimensions. One of the advantages of azek and other PVC sidings is that you can use your normal tools.

to counter point this post and your assumption that I am not smart - I use of home automation and smart devices extensively. I use Alexa, smarthings, z-wave switches, and various things. 1) "Alexa, turn on kitchen". Turns on the

This was the collaborative filtering of 15 years ago. It's likely they have made improvements since then.

The first time I've seen it reported that Linus was compensated 1.6M. (not related to the subject of abusive behavior) I'd also like to say as a manager of a bunch of top notch woman engineers, we don't have an abusive enviro

Kids bathrooms with two sinks. Its called critical for bedtime. In my room we have one sink in the bathroom and a sink in a recessed area next to the bathroom but really in the master bedroom. I live in a 80's era colonial which when

I interviewed at Pillpack years ago and was very impressed but didn't get the gig. They seemed to be solving a great problem for customers using multiple medicines. I am not sure the solution works well for the millions of us taking

I had the misfortune to work with a CEO who not only started a second company but used the VC's from his first company to start the second. His first was in a similar state (making money, but not out of the woods). didn't end we

It's hard for me not read this article and see a metric f-ton of hubris. If the depth of your thinking is that you are the Uber of X, the warby-parker of Y, you are so screwed. If you've been around startups - the key is some kin

As a long time Android user and current pixel owner I wonder about how well Android does with degraded hardware. My Pixel has not only gotten slower and slower but the battery life is horrible. Yes, I use the phone all the time but it&#x2

I wonder if this is at all related to the idea of interactive metronome therapy. See https://www.interactivemetronome.com/what-is-im Im seems to be about improving "Neurotiming".

My intuition is this seems like futuristic thinking that you might have found from the 60's where everyone thought we would have bases on the moon and flying cars. I'd love if someone could post some well written rebutals.

Just to get this out there, faceID uses a depth "camera" (right??) Previous approaches on Android, etc use image rec from the front camera.

I am 42 and got married (for the second time) a couple of months ago. After getting a divorce I worked my butt off on okCupid to meet my wife. I made it a full time gig and I am happy with the results. Besides finding a great life parter,

Yeah, I should have been clearer, I guess I think that for a community service having a magazine about "fighting the stigma about being sick" and depression, etc is really powerful and cool. Most places do nothing or support a ch

This was a fascinating read. Slightly more fascinating was that was sponsored by a Boston area tech company who I know a little bit about since I interviewed there years ago. They have a cool business packaging meds for patients, aka the &

There is a similar issue with the MBTA commuter rail in Boston. At south station, the signage in the main waiting area and at the platform only announce the train 10 minutes before departure. However, there are a couple of tools to get aro

So, in summary. The NSA hordes zero day (not sure if just windows), builds some scary tools to exploit these, and of course doesn't let MS know about them, because zero days are incredibly valuable to the spooks. And because perfect

No idea about speed of charge. That's what the game is right now. I used to have a phone with wireless charging but it was way slower than using the wired smart charger (the one with the tech from Qualcomm)

I played around with this the other day. I have a spreadsheet with a bunch of columns. It wasn't immediately obvious how to use the explore feature intuitively. It graphed data but not really the ones I wanted. I was also hampered

As someone who has been in many startups over my career so far, your journey sounds appealing in many ways. Many of the best people I know have been at Amazon or Google for years.

My point was that there are use cases where you are probably going to still want driving. E.g: having control over the pedal and the steering wheel is a bit easier than telling your car to stop and start, or crawl along at 3 miles an hour.

I would like to see a real study that says people are comfortable with level 5 autonomy. When I ask my 40 something friends their response is "no way". And these are engineers. So maybe a generational thing. It's not that

Yeah, that's probably true. My bad. I am not insecure (I think !?!?) but it would be nifty to have Alexa tell me that "harshaw, those jeans you are wearing have a giant stain and you should get a clean pair out of the drawer&quot

I am not the target customer. However, I really want to show this idea off to a bunch of people and see what they think. People want to look good and having an automated system that can give you a "once over" seems nifty. Yes,
