"Everybody talks about the whole Power Five in general. The fun part in scouting, they may get a lot in terms of the first-day stuff, but there are guys from all over. ...
"The SEC may lead the way early, but there will be good players selected in a bunch of rounds."
Here's a list of the SEC players selected in the first round:
- Cincinnati Bengals: Joe Burrow, No. 1 — LSU
- New York Giants: Andrew Thomas, No. 4 — Georgia
- Miami Dolphins: Tua Tagovailoa, No. 5 — Alabama
- Carolina Panthers: Derrick Brown, No. 7 — Auburn
- Jacksonville Jaguars: CJ Henderson, No. 9 — Florida
- Cleveland Browns: Jedrick Wills Jr., No. 10 — Alabama
- Oakland Raiders: Henry Ruggs III, No. 12 — Alabama
- San Francisco 49ers: Javon Kinlaw, No. 14 — South Carolina
- Denver Broncos: Jerry Jeudy, No. 15 — Alabama
- Jacksonville Jaguars: K'Lavon Chaisson, No. 20 — LSU
- Minnesota Vikings: Justin Jefferson, No. 22 — LSU

"Thank you for your interest! Where are you located and what does your work involve?" Okay "Sales Engineers", why is that relevant. Why is a human even answering this email? "I'm experimenting with deployments but latency isn't a big issue for me so any data center will be fine". You know, like you would say with Amazon, except in a dropdown. I jump through the hoops. Finally, I get to see what the interface is like, I'm poking around with no surprise that graphic design is an afterthought when suddenly You've got mail! My email client doesn't say that but his probably does. "I wanted to do a quick check-in and.." Aw that's nice and I also would have been totally fine contacting support whenever I got around to it! I checked out the interface, got my fill, decided it wasn't for me and moved on! All in all in one week it took: 10 emails to get signed up 1 email to tell me that "the system" should send me an email about my new account login 2 emails to get the account login and confirmation 4 emails to troubleshoot the broken account login system 1 automated onboarding email 3 checkin emails 1 automated 1 week anniversary onboarding email What's the way to tell people I want a self serve option? Reducing this email chain down to 3 emails. Why is that person employed? This was during the best market in the history of mankind and I was questioning that, and now everyone with a talent more relevant than customer "retention" should be just as annoyed, given how coveted a continual flow of oxygen is now. xx

All in all in one week it took: 10 emails to get signed up 1 email to tell me that "the system" should send me an email about my new account login 2 emails to get the account login and confirmation 4 emails to troubleshoot the broken account login system 1 automated onboarding email 3 checkin emails 1 automated 1 week anniversary onboarding email What's the way to tell people I want a self serve option? Reducing this email chain down to 3 emails. Why is that person employed? This was during the best market in the history of mankind and I was questioning that, and now everyone with a talent more relevant than customer "retention" should be just as annoyed, given how coveted a continual flow of oxygen is now. xx

Ask HN: How do I overcome mental laziness?
35 by fickleycurious | 15 comments on Hacker News.
I have realized that I easily give up when I face a hard problem. This is hurting my career prospects. I have been thinking and it may have become an issue because I grew up in a high pressure environment, where a lot is expected from you. How do I change myself ? I have observed that a lot of times I have a vague idea of a problem I am trying to solve but I don't put in the effort to nail it down. This affects my confidence and I don't want to lead whenever I get an opportunity. How do I get out of this habit ?

New top story on Hacker News: What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020?
What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020?
8 by pmohun | 8 comments on Hacker News.
I've been eyeing Lisp out of the corner of my eye for years. I know I should learn it and it will likely change the way I think about programming. What is the best way to learn Lisp in 2020? I tend to learn best when I have a project to work on that plays to the strength of the language. Some questions: - Should I start with Common Lisp, or some popular dialect (Clojure?) - What are the big patterns that I should be aware of? What is easier to do Lisp than is missing from functional languages like Python? - What are some big projects built in Lisp (other than this site)? - If it's so good, why isn't it more popular?

Ask HN: Why is Bluetooth so unreliable?

After all these years and consecutive versions, Bluetooth in my experience is still a hugely unreliable experience. I constantly have to forget devices, turn them off and on again etc. I have regular drop outs and I’m forever trying to re-pair. This is across connection types (keyboard, music etc), brands and devices. Why is Bluetooth in general so flakey?
