You could also look at it through a different lens. It seems that the scope of possible harm has been reduced from "everyone must stop working on SDCs" to "maybe you might need to let the Levandowsky guy go, and stop making your own lidar".

Also, from what I understand, the real benefit to uber was from Levandowsky bringing 100 former google eng with him to bootstrap uber SDC project. Well, those 100 eng are at uber now, or maybe they've moved on, but point being the damage is done, and you can't undo that.

Waymo wants uber SDC shut down, they feel robbed, and anything less than that in their view is not justice.
WalMart's marketplace (3rd part sellers) is just getting off the ground. Give it time... FBA is not a complicated beast like you make it out to be. As the Parent correctly pointed out, there's a plethora of companies that do nothing except fulfillment for distributors. There's nothing "hard" about copying the FBA model.

> For comparison, your average Wal-Mart distribution center has ~100k SKUs and one 'user' (Wal-Mart)

You seem to be deliberately comparing apples and oranges here.

You claim Amazon has 42 million Prime-eligible SKU's, and them compare that to how many SKU's exist in an average Walmart warehouse... forgetting that Prime-eligible SKU's don't all reside in Amazon warehouses... a 3rd party seller can warehouse that inventory on their own.

You also don't state how many warehouses Amazon has, nor the average number of SKU's in their warehouses, nor how many warehouses Walmart has, nor account for Walmart stores that serve dual purpose as warehouses. That makes your comparison useless, really.

At a point, it becomes sub-optimal to store more SKU's in a single warehouse, so they open a new distribution center and shuffle products around based on expected demand in the region (closer warehouse to the customer means faster delivery at less expense).

Java applets were unfortunately ahead of their time for the hardware available and got a bad reputation for being slow, along with security problems, and now that Google extinguished plugins like Java and Flash (Google gets to skip the Extend step) we're stuck with whatever Chrome lets webasm do with no competition for this kind of VM-in-a-browser. The homogenization Google forced on the web is a travesty but everybody is too distracted by shiny new HTML5 features and the anti-plugin bandwagon to care.

Actually, I've been recently diving into some frameworks that I've never used before, and some knowledge domains I have no experience with, and I can say that I've definitely used Stack Overflow to "learn". Not in the traditional sense, but almost more like an index.

I'll ask "how do I do <basic concept> in <framework>", check the SO results for a well documented and thought out response (not just code snippets), and start reading. On the side in a notepad I type up the terms/concepts they talk a lot about in that post that seem necessary to understanding their post (which I do NOT usually fully understand). Then I close that tab and start learning about those concepts.

Sometime's I'll also do that with code from SO - find code that works in a microcosm, and tinker on it to see what it does, look at documentation, APIs, tutorials, etc.

I personally have found this to be very effective, far moreso FOR ME than a book ever could be (even a PDF book w/ searching)

after reading many tutorials about WASM I still figured out one of the most important questions for me:

Would I be able to call JS functions from WASM? or pass callbacks to WASM. Because WASM sounds like it goes agains the async nature of JS and I have the feeling that is going to be very annoying to merge both worlds.

Also if I cannot call any JS func from WASM it means I cannot call WebGL or Audio so I dont know what would I need the performance if I cannot access the most performance demanding APIs.

Except perfect communism has always been the motto and the rallying point for every communist government in the world.

"""""True"""""" Communism will never come to pass because humans don't work like that,

Communism has been implemented, and has failed, multiple times. It's use as a system of any kind has been thoroughly negated by real-world examples.

The definition of communism that you cite is for useful idiots, who are there to do the bidding of yet another dictator who "rules in peace".

Nazi Germany was very close to communism, too.

Is that going to help against checking with the Internet Archive? I've used the Internet Archive to read versions of reddit comments when they were deleted (but not to dox people).
I've thought about this a bit, because I use a lot of Go at work.

The reason calling C code from Go is mostly because Go has a different ABI: it does weird things with the stack, calling conventions, etc. But that doesn't stop you from calling assembly written to that ABI directly from Go. In fact, that is done a lot in the standard library. It is possible to create a wonky, C-like, low-level language that compiles into machine code with the Go ABI. Let's call this language Go-- :). With something like that, it might be possible to translate existing C code into Go--. However, the most likely use for Go-- would be for use in performance-critical sections of your Go code.
The bean counters ultimately work for the shareholders if a public corporation or the public if it is government. The shareholders empower management and the public elects their leadership.

The CEO of Target got fired for not upgrading their point of sale software from an unsupported version of Microsoft Windows embedded (XP) to a later version which caused their system to be hacked.

Ultimately, this is going to be a problem as long as firms don't treat computers as any other form of capital equipment (such as repair vehicles) that need ongoing maintenance. Boards need to be asking their management about keeping their capital equipment under maintenance.

As for software that doesn't run on Windows 10, perhaps it is best to avoid firms that produce software where they don't upgrade it to the most secure version of the OS. I think this is mostly a hypothetical for most and it is probably important that firms change vendors if the vendor isn't willing to upgrade to the latest version of the OS.
Is there a SaaS that does this for companies? Maybe charging a percentage of the refund so there's no upfront cost to the customer?

For certain items definitely, and it pays to shop around, but you can get some incredibly steep discounts at Amazon if you're willing to wait and use a price watch tool.

> I don't know the details of the patents in question, but I assume they are hardware patents. In any event, the idea of either Intel or Samsung complaining about some other company subverting competition is hilarious.

Qualcomm is in the IPR and in the chip market. The others are buyers of IPR and sell chips implementing said IPR. The key is that Qualcomm is self-dealing(!) here. That position is a very powerful one and the way they strike individual agreements and openly or indirectly bundle things raises a lot of questions.

Bundling stuff from a position of power is what gets attention by the FTC - prominent examples are Windows Explorer and the IBM monopoly case way back.

> The fact that none of the technology made it into their Lidar designs makes it hard to believe that anything will be found.

This is a bit confusing. If none of the technology made it into their designs, why was a manufacturer delivering a part proprietary to Google to them? That's my understanding of what kicked this whole thing off, Google being accidentally CC'd by a manufacturer for a purchase of a part that nobody else should have known about. If that's correct, while it doesn't necessarily mean that Google tech was utilized in some integral component, it does signal that they weren't averse to using that tech in some fashion.

I'm left wondering if the real meat of this case is to be found as Google examines the hardware, which it sounds like they've now been given the go ahead to do.
I guess this is the "human touch" argument, whether this actually applies varies; but for "market intel" machines are way better at gathering information.

The author's son died in his lap 15 years ago, similar to around 4000 babies in the US each year. Through his grief he's put a lot of time and energy into how a SIDS alarm would and would not work. This idea:

> The goal of the alarm is to monitor the sleeping baby’s heart, detect a SIDS event, then set off a very loud alarm to rouse the baby because waking Mama often doesn’t work. So the Dot will be listening for the baby’s heart, monitoring its pattern, then blasting a loud noise if SIDS is detected. I know I just wrote pretty much the same thing twice but the sequence is that important.

(snip)

> ... you have to know what you are listening for. The American SIDS Institute (today in Naples, Florida, but in our day it was in Marietta, Georgia), has an audio library of SIDS deaths that actually happened while on a heart monitor. Remember what I said about parents being too tired to hear the alarm? Sadly the Institute has quite a selection of SIDS deaths to choose from and analysis of those deaths shows there is a characteristic slowing of the heart prior to a SIDS death. In every case the pattern (the rate of deceleration) is the same and the result is that death can almost always be predicted several minutes before it actually happens. That’s plenty of time to intervene, IF you know to do so.

Really the whole article gives great background into more related issues, and how the tech landscape today is much more capable of creating a useful alarm compared to 2002.

So let's assume this was in Ubuntu, lets say, version Ubuntu 10.04.4 LTS (5 years of support), and the NHS decided that it didn't want to upgrade beyond 10.04.4 because some of their stuff broken...

Long term support ended in May 2013 for desktop. But Ubuntu patched the bug in March 2017 for all current supported versions of Ubuntu.

Then the NHS got his with the bug.

Personally, I don't find learning to program new things as much fun as I did when I was 13-20. I would learn assembly, c++, basic, etc, all from books I got from Hastings or the local computer store.

I didn't know if what I was doing had already been done, I struggled and struggled and struggled until I figured out the right answer, learning how other things worked with every failure.

Now, jumping straight to the right answer eliminates all those other things I learned along the way.

I believe I was a more well-rounded and talented programmer when I was 15 than I am now pushing 40.

Anyway, maybe I just miss those years where I had 100 hours a week to teach myself something new and fun. I could never find the time for that now, and so jumping to the right answer is really my only option.

One thing that comes to mind is that while dropping XP might be the manufacturer's recommendation for the OS, it's not the only manufacturer's recommendation in play here. Only geeks like us and the ones in IT departments care about the OS. Most of the rest of people don't care about the OS -- they care about the applications and devices they can use with it. The OS only matters to the degree it enables or hinders that.

So when it comes to the computers used by hospitals and doctos and the like, OS manufacturer instructions are lower down on the priority list, below the manufacturer instructions for the applications and medical devices they use. And if $MedicalRecordsApp or $MedicalEquipmentController is only certified by the manufacturer to run properly under Windows XP, then you can bet that the hospitals and doctors offices are going to continue to run Windows XP.
>I haven't seen Walmart sell anything online but stuff you'd more or less find in their stores where Amazon is a funnel point for a zillion online shops and lets me buy from them without worry.

The "without worry" part is maybe being optimistic. There have been a couple of previous hacker news discussions on the problem of counterfeit goods being sold by Amazon. The problem here is that if there are counterfeit goods being sold by a 3rd party, you might get them even if the product listing your ordered from says that it is sold and shipped by Amazon. Amazon co-mingles goods from Amazon and third party sellers unless the third party seller explicitly opts out of it (which costs more money for them and someone selling counterfeit goods has every incentive to co-mingle their goods with others). I don't think I have run into counterfeit goods, but others claim to have:

Well, it's not yours. It belongs to the person (or voluntary group) that created it.They set a price on it and terms. You can either whine about the terms and refuse to buy it or accept the terms and buy it. Anything else is fraud.

When you buy it and accept the conditions, it is yours but only if you follow those conditions. Otherwise, you're committing fraud.
Cast iron dutch ovens can be had cheaply, second-hand. Sometimes they are a bit rusty / caked with ancient foodstuffs, but an hour at your oven's highest heat - with your windows open - should take them back to foundry clean. Then you can oil them lightly (I like flaxseed oil), and bake them again upside down to season them, at more like bread-baking temps.
With that qualifier I am willing to bet you aren't considering GNU+linux a "consumer facing os"?

I also far too often see this logicaL fallacy being used. I was recently railing against MS and someone said, "well I'm more worried about facebook, what about them?" Your comments about OSX and Chrome have almost nothing to do with the the current discussion topic which is MS updates systems. I wish people would stop doing this equivicating, it's tiring and logically fallacious.

A person can call out any company they want for anything they want on the merits of their argument without it having to turn into a major company comparison.

All that said... gnu+linux actually allows the user control, and things like this can be stopped.

Bottom line is this, either the user controls the program, or the program controls the user. Google, Apple, and MS have all shown they are more concerned with controlling the user than giving them freedom. GNU+linux or really just GNU, is the future of freedom, and until people start understanding how inherently political software is, and stop basing their software choices purely on pragmatics (but mah lozedoze gaming!), these types of problems will continue to happen and have things written about them, but the solution is already here.

Stop using closed source proprietary systems.

Outside of AWS, you're looking at inflated prices, sometimes 5-10x for normal products, about half the inventory (if not more) filled with fake, low quality garbage from China, Prime 2 day deliveries that often take much longer and sometimes never arrive, and some of the worst (but also best, it's hit or miss) customer service I've ever seen. Fulfilled by Amazon doesn't do shit to address any of these problems. In fact, Amazon doesn't do shit to address any of these problems. You'd think it'd at least address the fake/crap goods problem. Nope. AWS itself seems to me to simply be an unfinished service that people are willing to pay vast amount of sums for the privilege of complaining about their AWS bill. Hell, it's so common, it's now happened twice in the show Silicon Valley (same AWS joke, two times) and too many times to count at every job I've ever been at that considered AWS. Outside of AWS, Amazon is not only catchable, for most products, there are already better alternatives.
Yes. This discussion ignores the fact that the FBI stated the work could all be done on Apple premises and that the FBI would never receive the code or software in question.

So the two things discussed here don't really have anything to do with each other, but it's not surprising that people are trying to tie them together.
Oh cool, the text format[1] appears to be s-expressions!

Sounds like an easy dump from AST to text to wasm. Aside from what the Google Closure Compiler provides, I wonder what benefit, if any, this may give to ClojureScript. I'm guessing CLJS will just keep Google Closure for its optimizations, while Google Closure will output either wat files or wasm files. Unless optimizations can just be done during wat to wasm, which would be ideal for other language authors who can just translate to their intentions and not have to worry so much about fancy optimizations. (I'm rambling at this point. Sorry.)

I started teaching myself to program when I was about 10 years old in 1988. Back then I learned from books. I went through books to learn languages and to learn frameworks or big applications (like X Windows.)

What Stack Overflow has done has made it much easier to find answers to specific problems or questions. I don't feel like you can browse SO and come away learning Swift. But if you do run into a very specific issue you can Google it and quite probably find a solution that's on SO.
