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


For hardware, folding laundry with just one arm is really hard. So probably you will need a dual arm setup.

For software, even the best policy in the industry struggles a little bit (the arms they are using is about $10k each): - https://youtu.be/Oa19cq_MxE0 - https://www.dyna.co/research

In conclusion, for hardware, it might work if you have two of the arms; for software, it's probably too hard to collect enough data to make it work.


Came here to ask this. Two arms? I'll pay.


We will have a two-arm version available, as well as a kit for people to convert the current version to two arms—probably in August or September.


> 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.


> They are not competing goals.

They are competing focuses however. Obviously they can all be satisfied, but you can’t focus on all of it. Otherwise it becomes “everything is a priority, so nothing is”.

I’ve worked at places that tried that. It’s foolhardy & doomed.


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.


I've recently merged my firm with Ogletree Deakins which has over 150 immigration attorneys and over 500 immigration paralegals and support staff so we're well-staffed now.


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.


Some data, like passwords or other credentials, isn't stuff anyone really wants to monetize - so secrets managers (things like HashiCorp Vault) and password managers are both interested in using this to allow them to collect even less data.

In other cases, for the same compliance and data security reasons behind the desire for on-prem, larger enterprises prefer that their SaaS vendors collect as little data about them as possible. Blyss can get you the best of both worlds: the data security of on-prem, with the convenience and ease-of-deployment of SaaS.


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.)


Yeah it's a very transparent way to have an excuse to throw someone in jail. In a past life I had some illegal income that I briefly considered reporting. Paying taxes on money is way cheaper than laundering it anyway (which I was never big enough to need to do to be clear).

The IRS promises to keep any admissions of illegal income from other government agencies, but in practice that's total bullshit and so anyone with a serious criminal empire would be a total idiot to actually report those taxes. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't.


> way to have an excuse to throw someone in jail

More like: "way to have another means to put a criminal in prison."


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.
