I think you miss the point. How would you feel if you had a Ferrari with a noticeable scratch? Yes, it is great to have such a nice car, but it'd be a pity. So much much effort was put into the whole thing and this little detail is what lingers on your mind.
That would be good. I only said that his "lawmakers who later ascend to leadership positions perform similarly to matched peers beforehand but outperform them by 47 percentage points annually after ascension." is way too long. I guess other people disagreed because I got some downvotes.
What's the rule on titles now? I thought HN had a strict 'no editorializing headlines' policy, but I see the article has a different headline than what was posted here
Wack font. Circuits exposed. Pixels with fat borders between them. An ugly charging port. But more stuff, packed into a small sleek volume than reasonably possible. Working perfectly.
Sort of, but if the objective is to get hired for a hardware design job, I think that even the font aside, the overall aesthetics of the PCB aren't great. There are several places where component text overlaps other markings, some components are slightly offset from others for no reason, the pattern of stitching vias is pretty chaotic... I think it's actually the software part of it that's most worthwhile.
The card is so impressive that it doesn’t matter much, but I think that if you remove half of the text in that card and make it very legible it would burn your name into people’s brain.
The card should not have any text on it, but show his info on the screen when the card is first shaken, and after it has been held still for 4 seconds, before going to sleep after another 10 seconds of no motion.
If you offer a service, you have some responsibility towards your users. One of those responsibilities is to give enough notice about changes. IMO, this change doesn't provide enough notice. Why not making it a year, or at least a couple of months? Probably because they don't want people to have enough notice to force their hand.
What principal are you using to suggest that responsibility comes from?
I have a blog, do I have to give my readers notice before I turn off the service because I can't afford the next hosting charge?
Isn't this almost exclusively going to effect engineers? Isn't it more of the engineer's responsibility not to allow their mission critical software to have such a fragile signal point of failure?
> Probably because they don't want people to have enough notice to force their hand.
You don't. You have responsibility towards your owners/shareholders. You only have to worry about your customers if they are going to leave. Non-paying users not so much - you're just cutting costs now zirp isn't a thing.
If this was a public company I would put my tin foil hat and believe that it's a quick buck scheme to boost CEO pay. A short sighted action that is not in the shareholders interest. But I guess that's not the case? Who knows...
At this stage of the product lifecycle, free users are unlikely to ever give you money without some further "incentives". This shouldnt be news by now, especially on HN.
If you're production service is relying on a free-tier someone else provides, you must have some business continuity built in. These are not philanthropic organisations.
Maybe you're right, but we'll never know. It would be great if they allowed some sections to develop so we can test it out. To me it is a desirable location because of the companies, not the lifestyle.
