Poland - 800 Videos. USA - 6000. And yet it's more expensive here. And that's without adjusting for typical income. I was excited when they launched, but it looks like I'm not going beyond the trial. And yet services like Spotify manage to both adjust prices, and offer comparable levels of service. I hope Netflix gets better.
That's not entirely true. I know that Target in Waterloo was in one of the major K-W malls that gets a lot of traffic. Even still, the few times I shopped at the Target, it was dead.
I have a Denon receiver with a web interface, which can control everything over HTTP (volume, source selection, firmware, etc). Of course there's no CSRF protection, so anyone could just control my receiver by getting me to visit a page that tried POSTing to 192.168.0.XXX – it would be trivial.

I live in Minneapolis and Target is a huge presence here amongst just about every type of professional. Everyone knows someone who works(ed) at Target corp and from catching anecdotes from various people it became clear it was no secret that Target Canada was in bad shape from the beginning.

This failure not only damaged the careers of many Canadians but also irrevocably damaged the professional lives of people in my town who were laid off. While the job market in Minneapolis is fairly good it became a struggle for some of these newly jobless Target folks to find work in town because of the massive white collar layoffs.

Target should have been successful in Canada, all of the problems in this article are linked to over the top pressure and hubris.

Ask HN: What is your obscure area of interest or expertise?

A year ago I would have labeled this as deliberate evilness.

Today, after having spent a year in a company that is 97% focused on hardware (I'm part of the other 3%) - I could quite easily see this happen just out of ignorance/lack of focus.

My conclusion is that in companies like this:

- By default they think of the final delivery as a piece of electronics, not a system of hardware and software.

- They either consciously or inadvertedly think less of software than of hardware. Software is an afterthought you add to make the hardware function.
You make some very interesting points - I just want to ask a side-question on a linguistic issue:

- do you use "disrupt" in a positive sense, or in its original dictionary sense:

"interrupt (an event, activity, or process) by causing a disturbance or problem, alter or destroy the structure of .."

My point is also that often when people mean to disrupt in one way, they end up achieving the other.
> Summoning a unikernel on-demand to service a single request has demonstrated to be plausible. Instead of leaving a long-running process running you have a highly-restricted machine summon your application process in an isolated unikernel for a few milliseconds before it's gone.

From a "far enough" pov (but not too far...), how is that system different from a kernel running processes on-demand? Why any replacement for the libc would contain less vulnerability? Same question for replacing a kernel with an "hypervisor".

I feel I still don't know enough on these subject to think this whole game in the end consist in renaming various components, rewriting parts of them in the process for no real reason. But maybe this is actually it.

I've no objection to podcasts, but no particular tropism to them. Even though I can play music-or-whatever as loud as I wish (another advantage of telecommuting), I'm more likely to scan text rather than to listen to someone talking. But that's just me.

I don't need to retreat. I'm already in my comfy place. Not to mention that a high percentage of people who choose to work from home do so because they're introverts (though that does not describe me); "get together with other people" has little value.

What do you envision for a support network? That doesn't already exist?

Part of this is the normal gadget cycle: invent a 'labour-saving' gizmo, market it to people, who buy it and use it once, then leave it at the back of a kitchen cupboard next to the sandwich toaster and the veg spiraliser. Slightly bad for the environment, good for employment, otherwise harmless.

Part of it is the adveillance business model: get people hooked on a technology so you can sell their personal info to marketers. The smart fridge compiling your shopping list knows even more about you than your supermarket loyalty card.

Part of it is ownership-to-rent: rather than let people buy an appliance and keep it for a decade, turn them into a revenue stream with mandatory updates, planned obsolecence, incompatibility, and so on.

And part of it is an attempt to automate away the awkward middleman in consumerism, the consumer: let devices spend money on their own behalf. This is HP's "instant ink" (https://instantink.hpconnected.com/us/en), a service where you let your printer order the most expensive liquid in the world on its own initiative.

For a C++ developer, Rust introduces a lot of seemingly arbitrary rules and constraints on how data can be managed, moved around and referenced. In order to develop things that employ a lot of composing, one has to either make the code nigh unreadable with tons of unnecessary chaining (which is unavoidable, since simple dereferencing and assigning a value of a field in a structure to a variable means the structure is now borrowed and you can't reference the field nor the structure until the variable goes out of scope; please, for the love of all that is holy, prove me wrong!) or the entire data model has to be rethought with those rules in mind. Not sure about others, but I sure as hell still have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around boxes, mutability and lifetimes; maybe I'm making some fundamentally flawed assumptions trying to draw similarities between C++ and Rust, but those issues are showstoppers for me for now.
No, lower prices. Whenever voluntary savings go up, consumer prices fall.

I'm not too sure the fault here lies with Dokku. In their defense they use herokuish [0] which in turn uses Heroku build packs and apparently, from the commit, it's more of a build pack issue. However you can fork the build pack and revert the changes to suit your environment. Have a gander of this section in the Dokku docs [1] on how to specify a custom build pack.

Don't throw away the convenience Dokku brings to the table :-)

No, same hours worked. Often far less hours worked and more accomplished!

I've seen some people read through a bug report and have the area found and fixed in a couple of minutes, and the bug passing QA first time.

I've seen other people take almost the whole day just to track down that same bug in the code, let alone fix it or get it past QA. By that time, the first guy had finished a whole stream of other tasks.

10x definitely exists - hop around a few companies and you'll come across one pretty quick. They are rare, but easy enough to find if you've been through a few startups.
The fact that there's no "peopleoftarget.com" should tell you something. (Well, the domain resolves, but I get a 404.)

In seriousness, as others point out, Target is generally nicer. And Wal-Mart has a bit of a "low rent" feel to it, probably more so in the U.S. south than elsewhere. Everything on the shelves seems as if it is the lowest priced item the Wal-Mart buyer could find for that category. And the shoppers, oh, the things I've seen...

I've found that this doesn't seem to broadly apply to the few Canadian Wal-Marts I've been to, though.
> The perfect PGP secure email client would be cross platform and provide its own email server. The client has included trusted keys to communicate with upstream, but when you first start it you make your account and that generates you a signing and encryption key based off your password, backs it up on their server (remember, its password protected, they cannot access it despite backing it up) and then whenever you sign in on other device your keys are downloaded and just work.

> This basically turns PGP into username / password, but the only alternative is to use wifi to send your keys between devices when you first start your client of choice - IE, you start it for the first time, it says "do you already have an account? You say yes and it simply asks which PC on the lan has your keys, it communicates with it, you confirm on the other computer to send the keys, and it synchronizes your keys cross-device peer to peer.

Or you could carry your keys around with you on a physical smart device that communicates over usb or nfc. This ux already seems to work well in corporate environments, it's just a matter of convincing consumers it's worthwhile and vendors to bake support into their products.
Different set of products really. When I go shopping with my Dad we hit Sam's Club, Walmart, and then Target. He buys different things in each. Most of his Target purchases are because of the coupons and Bluray specials. He used to hit Costco, but it he bought less and less from them as Walmart and Target improved their food area. Clothes for the children is Walmart and adults is Target. [edit] Hyvee has become a goto place because of the hot food and the gas discounts with purchase.

I basically can go to Walmart or the local grocery store in the next town or the reservation grocery store. I'm not a fan of the local grocery stores political tactics[1], so its the rez or Walmart. There is a K-mart but they just don't have the variety.

If you have a public url for a file, then you can just point your users to that url and use sendfile=on. Nginx will then use sendfile.

But consider the usecase where you have a bigger download hidden behind some kind of authentication. You'd do that authentication in your normal backend and return the X-Accel-Redirect header in your response. Nginx will then take over and send the data using sendfile.
"How do you do know if it's "smallest" or "viable"?"

There will be done uncertainty, as all possibilities cannot be tested. But just because something is hard or even impossible to identify, it does not mean the concept is not valid.
> The very disturbing implication being: if you can only have 1 child, and you believe only boys can support you in retirement, what do you do when you give birth and find out it's a girl?

In China's urban populations at least, it is increasingly common for women to take care of their aging parents, I imagine this is partly due to one-child policy. Another interesting shift in social norm is, now single guys need to have a house to be considered an "eligible bachelor", which is a considerable financial burden to many parents due to ballooning housing costs. Those who preferred sons 20 years ago are probably feeling the burn right now.
Well, great, then it really won't be much of a stretch to add one more tax, this one to ensure that everyone has a basic guaranteed income!
Why do you think this is a no-op? Looking at the diff, the code was summing the entry and exit counts. So, by the same argument, that means certain things were being double counted (considered higher cost) and now aren't.

I assume (like you), that someone will come along and point out that this doesn't really apply to all loops.
I tried a similar thing at work several years ago, before "scrum" took hold everywhere. I kept my to-do list as a stack of post-it notes, and when they were done, I'd ball them up and throw them into a decorative glass mug someone left in my office.

> Maybe we could go a bit further and say that a proven security breach (i.e. an unauthorized person actually accesses your device) carries some concrete liability, for example $500 plus a refund of the purchase price?

Yeah, that's exactly the kind of thing I was thinking about for market incentives. Right now the immediate cost to a company is zero so the only question is whether it'll cost them future sales. Even a simple refund of the purchase price would be a big shift.

I rather like the bounty idea, too, particularly if we could combine it with some sort of clearing house so e.g. the person who finds an unprotected webcam doesn't have a reason (or excuse) to identify the owner.

I don't know if its just new stores, but the recently built super Walmarts are really clean and brightly lit. I do think the Walmart needs more automated lanes, they seem weirdly busy. Walmart has donation programs also.
I agree that `interleave` reads better than `iStr`. I've updated the post.

FWIW I wasn't really trying to name things in an idiomatic "Haskell" way, I just wanted a shorter name and `iStr` was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Regarding the performance issue, it's fast. As an example, running `take 10000000 $ streamToList ruler` at ghci forces Haskell to evaluate (and print) the first 10 million elements of the ruler sequence. On my machine I observed that the printing is the bottleneck. The computation of the next Integer in the series takes next to no time.

It's sad, I agree -- but it's naive to expect anything else even from Google, much less some random startup.

Great company! Wouldn't the same concept apply to those that cannot afford car repairs for example? You provide credit to those that need to fix their cars, however, the problem is that the auto-shop is incentivized now to upsell a bunch of fixes you may not actually need. Any thoughts?
"You need to avoid going there at the beginning of the month"

Yes, Walmart is the preferred vendor if you are on EBT and that is why police departments will stake them out at the beginning of the month. Walmart is pretty much the place to get the most food for the buck.

> seemingly arbitrary rules

Most of them are about Rust's core guarantee: data race freedom. Some of them are due to a certain conservativeness of any static analysis, and may be relaxed in the future.

> for the love of all that is holy, prove me wrong

It depends on exactly what you're doing. There are always ways to get around things, but it can depend on knowing Rust and its standard libraries well. As a younger language, some patterns are still being developed, and aren't always as obvious as they could be. We'll get there...

Rust is certainly a different language, and if you try to port C++ code directly over, you may have problems. Such is life. :)
Whether it's popular to admit or not, this is the thinking behind why a lot of people I know--including myself--shop at Target instead of Wal-Mart. I'm from the U.S. South; my hometown has a Target and a Wal-Mart facing each other across a canyon of two parking lots and a six-lane street. The difference is stark, from the merchandise to the cleanliness of the store to the customer base.

Wal-Mart can do as well or better than Target. There's a "flagship" Wal-Mart on the Dallas North Tollway in Plano (Texas) that is everything a Target can be and more. It's even open 24 hours, like seemingly every other Wal-Mart in the region. (That was a little bit of culture shock when I moved to Puget Sound. The Wal-Marts in the top-left corner of the map used to be open 24 hours but stopped in early 2015 for some reason.)
Do you have a public git repo somewhere?
Not strictly related to wind power in Texas, but reminded me how at the same time in Finland a few authorities recommended consumers to actually limit their use of eletricity "for the common good".

The main cause was increase in wind power capacity in the last few years (as there was practically no wind that day), coupled with very low temperatures and problems with buying electricity from Russia.

It's kinda scary how a developed, modern country is suddenly close to rationing the use of electricity.
I work with people who, while smart enough, aren't mature enough. Common statements include why "(insert technology or platform or editor) is made by idiots" or whatever because they made a decision to look at certain design choices as strawmen in their argument.

HFS+ not supporting true case sensitivity was one example. Or "I hate spring/struts/etc." just because they once had to deal with a bad codebase.

A lot of it is just tripping over one's ego to me. I don't think you can become a mythical 10x by placing so many filters in front of your work.
Yes there is a hard floor with the price, but there are two ways it could go lower even without driverless cars. The first is Uber's indirect vehicle costs (borne by the driver, but ultimately affecting the price floor) are very high. The drivers don't have any economies of scale in running and servicing their vehicles. A competetor that is optimised for running costs could undercut Uber.

The second way a competetor could undercuts Uber is by accepting a lower return on capital. Uber's cost of capital is very high compared to the cost of capital in the utility industry. It will be very hard for Uber to compete long term against a rival with low cost capital.

My expectation is Uber will win the battle against its venture backed rivals and will lose to a new competetor optimised for running and capital costs.
I guess my worry is that I don't know what I don't know (regarding security), but I'm pretty sure there are use-cases that haven't even been defined yet (insert favourite Relmsfeld quote here).
The charts further down the page give one a more realistic sense of how much wind contributes as a whole. Natural gas dominates with 48% of power generated while wind is around 12%. It's tough to beat heat sources driving turbines.
When ever I want to learn something on my own, especially a comparative study, I include the search terms "syllabus' and 'reading list'. I figure there must be a class somewhere that has already covered this ground.
I wouldn't put too much stock/attention into consumer-facing IoT products...they're a drop in the bucket of a much larger market. But they get a lot of coverage because they're more relatable and controversial than connected car infotainment, HVAC, and industrial material handling systems.

There is a bug that lets you kinda of load the description for a movie that you don't have permission to see. This is 'The Dark Knight' http://www.netflix.com/title/70079583 which we (in the US) don't have available to us but loads a mostly empty page. But if you go to the 'More like this' tab, it suggests movies for you.
The issue of course is that a sizable portion of these "savings" are just simply poured into driving more.

As per HN guidelines, "please submit the original source". The posted article's source is this article from The Guardian:

http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jan/16/trident-ol...

"Microsoft ended security updates for Windows XP in 2014, meaning that the Vanguard submarines could be vulnerable to viruses, malware, and cyberattacks."

I'm pretty sure that the systems that are running these subs aren't being used to surf the web. They're probably not even networked with any systems outside the navy, so it's not likely that they'd be exposed to malware. I'd also guess that mission-critical systems are not physically exposed in such a way that a random sailor could plug a USB stick into them - the CPUs are probably inside locked compartments with highly restricted access.
I always think of disrupt from the perspective of creative destruction, and it always being unambiguously good. So if I was in a stagnant industry, I'd be trying to reform. And if I was getting hit hard by reformers, I'd see that as justice that I was on the wrong side of.

Hence, I'm tempted to say that both meanings mean the same thing to me.

But it's interesting you raise it. I recently reread _A Second Chance at Eden_ by Peter F Hamilton. In one of the stories, a character turns down an opportunity at fabulous wealth from a mindset that it would cause vast social trauma. This seeded a thought - perhaps creative destruction is not as unambiguously good as I presume. But it still hasn't yet sunk in. (And such a correction would require a worldview rebuild - a trauma of its own :) )
