<p>Been using the surface precision mouse for years now and it's just so good, great functionality, comfortable and looks very sleek. I'm sad that Microsoft is discontinuing this line but I'm happy that they will live on elsewhere.</p>

<p>Yea, I wouldn't go with a fully fledged payroll company for this. The person working for you should be willing to come in as a contractor and set up the necessary legal and accounting framework for themselves. It's pretty easy to be self employed and able to produce an invoice in most European countries. Mind you, if this is their first time doing it, it'll occupy a significant portion of their mind space and you have to accommodate that. In a way, they're doing you a favour, because this way it's cheaper and easier for you.</p>

<p>I'm so conflicted reading this story. On one hand, yes, there were choices made during the design of the system that directly contributed to this tragedy. And a lot of innocent lives were lost, so saying that's "shit happens, it's an edge case" rings very hollow.<p>On the other hand, this was a very peculiar set of circumstances, very much an edge case. Is it reasonable to expect designers of combat systems to triple check their choices and run more test scenarios to identify and address such edge cases? I'd say yes. However, I think it's unreasonable to expect them to design a perfect system for a highly volatile and chaotic use case such as war.</p>

<p>Ruthlessly say no to most things. This is easier said than done pre-PMF of course.<p>Try to validate without building, before committing to invest into actually building something as indeed, it has a lot of cost on top of just development. It increases complexity both technically and conceptually.</p>

<p>Don't do things with the expectation that it will be reciprocated. If you wouldn't do it for your own sake, consider not doing it at all.<p>Been battling a vicious cycle of boom and bust in all kinds of relationships (work, friends, love) where I go out of my way to get approval from the other party only for it not to be reciprocated and leading to burnout and eventual implosion of relationship. It stems from deeply rooted self worth issues and unhealthy strategies to overcome them.</p>

How do you like it?]]></title><description><![CDATA[
<p>Google rebranded their Springboard this spring to Google Cloud Search and they offer it to G Suite customers from the Business tier upward. We are in the Basic tier, and would be interested in your experience with it. Is it worth upgrading to Business to use it?<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Chatbots are really just a way to push and pull messages on messaging channels, nothing more, nothing less. How much automation you put behind it is really up to you. And yes, many early examples forgot about their users. Yes, it is cool to write a bot that can do something cool for a fraction of use cases, but as always, solving a real problem trumps being cool.<p>Now chatbots can be used as a content distribution channel (see publishers’ bots), app replacement (Swell is a great example, and they are in the next YC batch, congrats to them), but I’d like to point out how makers miss the point on arguably the largest use case for messaging in the business world today, customer service. Yes, most bots that address this domain can’t live up to the expectation either. And really, just think Job to be Done, the customer wants a quick, accurate and preferably personal reply to their question or issue, it is that simple.<p>So what we (Bicycle AI) did to make our clients better at this Job is we are fusing human and AI for a faster, affordable and scalable solution for SMEs. I hear you say, wait, isn’t this like Digital Genius, well, nope, we integrate with Intercom for example and we have a team of AI supervisors who approve the answers suggested by our AI.<p>This means our clients can provide blazing fast customer service for their customers 24/7 and according to their volumes. Simple as that. We use past conversation history and product docs to generate our suggested answers. We can go live pretty fast and can take care of around 60-70% of incoming conversations, escalating the complex cases after engagement.<p>Aaand, we are in alfa stage with emails.<p>So when it comes to harnessing automation in customer service, we believe that customers should not be the ones dealing with the rough edges.</p>
