As you say, trucks are dangerous, they are burning fossil fuels, they are contributing to traffic. Those are all valid reasons to move to drones beyond instant gratification.

Trucks can't deliver hundreds of boxes at a time, they can deliver hundreds of boxes during a day of driving. The quora post linked below suggests between 200-500 a day. Depending on length of flight, you might be able to replace a truck that delivers 200 packages with 5 drones delivering 4 packages an hour, while limiting flights to 10 hours a day. A huge swarm isn't necessarily needed.

Even living in the Netherlands, I've yet to see a restaurant where you can actually order typical Dutch foods, eg. the mentioned boiled/mashed potatoes + meat + veggies or stamppot [1]

An opportunity cost is literally a sacrifice by definition. Bill Gates made a choice to start Microsoft instead of finishing school so there was clearly one opportunity that he rejected and one that he followed. It's not "payment," it's a fact that he chose one path and due to the universal law of causality had to give up one opportunity for another. If Microsoft hadn't succeeded he would have been left empty handed. That's the very definition of risk.

The only delusion in this thread is the idea that Bill Gates took no risk when he decided to drop out of Harvard and start a company with the goal of ushering in the age of personal computing. I'm not comparing him to a starving African child, I'm just pointing out that he took a risk just like every entrepreneur on the planet.
This is in fact a thin wrapper, that I mostly wrote, around a fat wrapper that mcous wrote (pcb-stackup-core).

It is a sane system because everyone is paying into it, and you can do things on a larger scale to help more people. With health care being disconnected from the job, it doesn't tie people to an employer they hate and changing jobs is less of a risk. There are pluses and minuses, of course.

They still should have checkups, but not everyone needs them annually. Still might have diabetes, but with less stress and actually having time to cook proper meals, the diabetes might be better controlled and have cost savings in the long term (fewer complications) - and possibly short term if they have type 2 and go from insulin to pills. Sweden has been testing out 6 hour days - with nurses, they find overall absenteeism has dropped and folks are happier. Large scale, this would probably mean that folks are sick less often. Might not be cut by 25%, but improvement is still improvement.
I had to deal with asynchronous code when working with client-side JavaScript, it wasn't a new thing for me. If anything, I expect Ruby to be a little nicer if I have to work with RoR. But I probably won't because everyone wants 10 years of RoR experience nowadays.

As a possible solution Amazon could offer secured dropoff boxes which can open and close using a password/key. The moment the package is delivered, the box is closed and secured.
Hey when i say Web tech makes no sense for me coming from embedded, i mean it...

I'd say long range and self driving is evolutionary not revolutionary. They won't exactly be unexpected when they land... It's a when not if scenario.
Do you have Prime? I don't use it, since I only buy 1 or 2 things off Amazon a year and my experience has been similar to yours. It takes 3-5 days to get an order out, then only 1-3 days actual in-transit shipping time.

My conspiracy theory is that Amazon is making non-Prime purchasing - where you pay a one-off fee - a worse experience so that you'll be "forced" to try Prime. Or at the very least they put non-Prime customers to the back of the warehouse queue more often. All it has done is turned me off Amazon, and I try to buy things someplace else if I can. It helps that I don't live in the US or UK, and our provincial Amazon is a much worse offering compared to those 2.
How about this: hire people to work 32 hours a week for the same pay. Offer it as a competitive advantage to decrease employee turnover.
Amazon 'told' you they dispatched the same day... but they would, wouldn't they?
In South Africa, this scenario is becoming a big problem:
A victim's cell phone, in their possession, is triggered to go into no-signal state which is sometimes not noticed for hours. During this time, criminals are somehow able to capture communication that would have originally gone to the cell phone. Communication like 2FA passwords. This is then used to transfer money out of the victims bank account. How can 2FA over sms be considered safe if this is possible?
Well I always had a tracking number...and parcels which were late were always shown on DPD website as being stuck somewhere in the country, not in Amazon's warehouse.
Why wouldn't it matter? It's an actively developed framework which many people really like. I'm actually baffled that it doesn't get mentioned more often.
Rather surprising given the warehouse is just north of Edinburgh in Fife.
Too bad they're not smart enough to put the headphone jack on the correct end of the camera (the BOTTOM, in case you're not capable of thinking things through).
Did anyone care what happened to AOL though?

Yahoo had several well loved properties that they bought and ran into the ground.

You're comparing someone selling a truckload of junk for decent profit to someone who keeps buying expensive stuff, actively breaking it or leaving it to fester then selling it for a loss and being paid off for doing so.
The argument I've heard for why steam requires a custom 2fa is to do with trading on the marketplace [1]

The custom component makes sure that marketplace activity is valid (somewhat like the custom banking dongles you get that require both your pin and some transaction identifier).

They'd be better off allowing the option of standard TOTP auth for login, so users can use a standard authenticator app, and then layer on a custom app for trading if needed.

How many countries the size of the Netherlands do have a typical cuisine that's recognized around the world?
Not at a time. The truck can use street-space, make noise and pollute while driving around with a load of packages that is going to other addresses than the one it is currently heading to.

The truck will probably travel a smaller distance in total than all the drones would, but my guess is that the total impact of the truck driving around is larger that the total impact of the drones. In particular if they manage to make the drones less noisy.

The best is probably a hybrid system where a truck filled with drones charged with packages drives to the right part of the town and releases all the drones for the last kilometers of transport.
> We need to make those people feel safe again

If we look historically, people do feel safer if people dressed like military are walking around with fake/unloaded guns. It worked very effectively after 9/11 to make people feel safe in airports, and the lack of any "real" weapons helped in eliminating the risk of having people with guns around large group of people. However that only worked as long you can keep up the illusion and keep people in the dark.

It might simply not be possible to create security that is effective, cheap, and make people feel safe.

Of course they are. I'm a Prime-subscriber and love the guaranteed next-day arrival (Germany) of my orders. However when I have to order something from our non-Prime office-/-work-account, Amazon never ships the items on the same day, regardless how early I order. I'm certain this is intentional and I'm ok with it.

Having my frequent orders reliably arrive on the next day is worth the subscription. If you don't think so, you'll have to be patient. I think that's how Amazon sees it too.
But it seems to be more lucrative than a hedge fund.
I just ate dessert, which consisted of the following:

Finely chopped red and green cabbage mixed with Greek yogurt, sprinkled with mixed dried fruit, a few apricot halves from a can and some chopped canned pine apple (canned fruit because I'm slack).

I wouldn't call it boring, but that has got to be bloody healthy, right?

Nice work. :) This reminds me of an ID card generator I made for Orkut profile using PHP and its GD library. It was a 200 Lines of hack job when I didn't even understand the concept of breaking code into functions. Sadly, I used to feel so embarrassed by my old code that I thought it was a good idea to erase it; wish I hadn't. :(

The car industry is ready for some disruption. Current car makers are good at what they are doing, but there have been few entirely new developments. So it is no wonder that one of the most desirable cars at the moment is the Tesla, a car which comes from a "startup" and is electrical.

The transition to electrical cars is what is shaking up the industry. All the special knowledge around the creation of combustion engine is no longer needed. And a lot of the non-engine components are sourced by suppliers, which are also happy to supply companies like Tesla. The Tesla shares quite a few components with the well known German car brands. This allows new car companies to enter the market relatively easily.

And beyond the fact that Apple can hire car engineering veterans, Apple is an excellent product design company. The Apple watch should be a warning. All discussions about the usefulness of smart watches aside, one important thing is, that Apple enters an entirely new product category, but if you look of the design and quality of their stainless steel bracelet, it is much better than most of the Rolex bracelets at a fraction of the price. So I would not be surprised, if while the pure driving part (electrical motor, suspension) is rather off the shelf, the overall construction of the car could be both different and unexpected by the current players.
An organisation at the scale of IBM was able to create, after many attempts, and vast investment, a computer that can beat Grandmasters. That insight isn't useful to an individual trying to do the same.
I'm honestly a bit surprised that such an article is placed in Nature, as there seem to be a couple questionable details in the article regarding the experiment:

- Only 3 volunteers on which the experiment has been tested

- The volunteers were left "in total darkness for around 40 minutes" before the actual experiment

- "In many cases, they got it wrong; this is to be expected, given that more than 90% of photons that enter the front of the eye never even reach a rod cell, because they are absorbed or reflected by other parts of the eye. Still, participants were able to answer correctly more frequently than would be expected if they had guessed at random and their confidence level was higher when they were right."

- The three volunteers sat through a total of more than 2,400 trials in which a single photon was emitted (and many more in which it was not).

- That high volume of testing, the researchers say, gives them strong statistical evidence of single-photon detection

- The participants had to say on which occasion they thought they saw a photon, and how confident they were (on a scale of 1 to 3) about their sighting.

In summation, they put 3 volunteers for 40 minutes in total darkness, then performed more than 2400 trials in total (i assume 1000+ trials per person, taking into account the tests in which no photon was emmitted). "Many" times the volunteers guessed wrong, but when they guessed right they were pretty confident of it (using a rather simplistic scale of 1-3).

What I'm seeing with this experiment is a result which is more confirmed due to psychological bias rather than actual results by putting these volunteers in a straining test. How would you, as a volunteer react, if you were left in the darkness for such a long test duration and would asked over a 1000 times whether you have seen a flash.

Edit: After having read the actual paper on the methodology, I do retract my comment.
I basically do the same. I work 4 days a week and I feel that I'm not really less productive. The fact that I have one day per week off, gives me a reason to procrastinate less and do more with the time I have.

I remember the time from an old job, were most employees did nearly nothing on Friday afternoons. They were burned out from the week and waited until the time was up to finally go home.

I work 4-day weeks for a few years now and I can say that I don't want to change this anytime soon. Having more time for friends and family makes me much more happy than a bit more money. And of course, I feel much more relaxed on Mondays since every weekend is a "long weekend".
There isn't a lot of guessing when you have a tracking number.

What restaurants do you go to? In the Netherlands, if you pick a piece of meat it's almost always served with potatoes and vegetables.

Depending on the season you can definitely order stamppot or hutspot. In most cities you can even order it and have it delivered, just like pizza.

oooh, I like this game. Can you do the following:

- Autonomous cars that act as a safe caravan (which enables higher speeds and, due to communication, instant responses which human drivers can't even match in theory - since a human driver cannot know that a car three cars ahead has just this millisecond started to break heavily, but software can transmit that. According to the DMV "the average driver's reaction time is .75 seconds ... or 1 car length for every 10 mph".)

- internet of things which let me be a master in my home with all my stuff being servants. please, tell me why I should with my own hands do stuff that devices could do by myself at my command. Tell me why it's better to be a servant than an king/queen.

if you do these I'll have more stuff for you to shit on. This is so amazing, it is really fun to watch. In the case of drones, for example, this is the coolest thing from the future anyone could possibly have imagined, it is something that a 60's comic book about the future would have shown about a future utopia.

i'd love to see how you shit on other stuff.

As a startup founder with a technical team I've never understood the obsession with #hours worked.

Perhaps it is because we originally started off working remotely and logging hours worked wasn't an option. With our current tech team, # hours worked is nowhere near top of mind. We evaluate performance based on output, team dynamics and (perhaps related to # hours worked) availability.

While admittedly vague, availability is a measure of how the employee in question's work schedule negatively impacts our ability to work quickly and effectively as a team. It doesn't necessarily correlate directly to # hours worked, however, as more often than not other factors such as 'willingness to take part in group discussions' or 'prefers to work at night' have a bigger impact.

I imagine it will be semi-automatic. Drone will go to it's destination and on arival human pilot will take control over drone to deliver package. To make it fully autonomus Amazon would have to install standarized landing spaces in all customers houses. Not all people have garden/safe spot where packege can be just drop off. Also those spots tends to look and be in different places. For some people it will be back garden for other some kind of terrace with roof and no walls thats why final stage of delivery will have to be operated by human.
yeah, but they're not the future.
You are correct but in my use-case I have my browser remember the passwords and use a standalone password manager for storing credentials that I infrequently access. An exploit compromising the browser would next have to compromise the password manager's encrypted database.

Admittedly this is not perfect, but I am comfortable with the level of security it provides. I think it is also roughly comparable to users who have a 2FA app on their mobile and a password manager syncing to the same device.
As a someone born abroad to a dutch parent, I'm not convinced of the diet argument.

Well, trucks don't have to burn fossil fuels either. There's no reason we can't switch to electric trucks, which will be quiet and won't pollute (at least in their location).

As for danger and traffic, I'd be surprised if low-altitude air traffic, air collisions and falling objects didn't become an issue in a world where delivery drones were commonplace.

It stands to reason that rolling boxes in bulk around on wheels should be a lot more energy efficient and reliable than flying individual boxes around in the air. I'm sure drones have a place, but they can't replace bulk delivery.

You are missing the forest for the trees.

You are ignoring that Bill Gates had to come from an extraordinarily privileged position to even be able to incur such a large opportunity cost. Most people don't have the opportunity to not to finish a Harvard degree, because most people don't have the opportunity to go to Harvard to begin with.

You are also ignoring that even if Microsoft had failed after a 10 years, the act of founding and running it would likely have afforded him experience that would rival in value a Harvard degree. This makes it doubtful that the opportunity cost was actually very large.

Furthermore, when you talk about how large the risk was, you play fast and loose with relative and absolute sizes. It may be true that Bill Gates took a large risk in absolute terms, but because of his background, the risk was actually not that big in relative terms. Not any larger than the risk of someone else choosing one education instead of another, or one career over another.
