I don't know about meat but the demand for ivory is entirely artificial driven by people who value it precisely for its scarcity rather than utility. Anything produced using ivory can also be produced much more cheaply using other (artificial) materials.

Exactly. And the tool hire companies would hire out tents too if they were a thing you could lend out and expect to get back intact. They would probably have board games in there too if the games came back with all the pieces present. Maybe jigsaw puzzles too... Who wouldn't want some recreation amenity items for the crew?

So really anything that can be rented out already is and the magic of capitalism means that is at market price already. Plus there is ebay, where else does one go, Craigslist? In these market places people get rid of old hobby gear. It may not be rented or you can see on the purchase as rented indefinitely with a reasonable return deposit.
"Amazon expects to reduce headcount and change inventory to lower prices and make Whole Foods competitive with Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and other big-box retailers."

That's a huge change. You go into Whole Foods, and it's mostly good-looking, thin people, not the wide loads and screaming kids of Wal-Mart. If Amazon wasn't looking to go upscale and high-margin, what did they buy Whole Foods for?

How is the network in a foreign country being picked? Here in Germany, we have (at least?) three competing networks, O2, Telekom and Vodafone. Their coverage differs, but afaik I don't get to automatically use another network if my network doesn't cover my location.

So what happens in another country? Free roaming won't be much use if no network covers my location? If on the other hand, I will be allowed any network for the price of my home network, I wonder if it would make sense to get a contract in another country, so that I can use all networks in Germany for free?
Note that if the new rules cause roaming net (roaming revenue minus roaming costs) loss of more than 3% of the operator's mobile services margin, they can apply for an exemption to add roaming surcharges (to cover expenses only).

The Finnish operators were all granted that exemption to prevent the domestic price level from increasing:

The situation with pork vs. wild boar is very different from the elephant, and more analogous to beef vs. the Cape Buffalo.

We don't need to hunt wild boar for meat thanks to factory farming of pork. Tracking a boar in the woods just for its meat makes no economic sense. We hunt the boar mainly for the experience of killing a dangerous and intelligent animal. But selling experience is hard to scale, esp. because only a very small subset of humanity has been allowed to engage in that sort of hunt (formerly by legally enforced social class distinctions and land ownership, more recently by cultural norms).

As a result, the hunting of boar is kept to a sustainable level.

As for the elephant, we don't need the meat either. And if hunting were only for the trophy hunter's experience, it would be sustainable. But the problem is the ivory: plastic is not a good enough substitute, so prices for the real thing are astronomical, and industrial-scale poaching of wild elephants makes economic sense for the unscrupulous.

If we farm-raise enough elephants to drop the price of ivory to the point that poachers could gain more from other illegal pursuits - illegal mining, stealing non-ferrous metals from construction sites, tapping into oil pipelines etc. - we would save the wild elephant.

It does make sense because that is Amazon's modus operandi. They are the Walmart of online shopping; one place for everything and it's cheap too. They don't really associate themselves with quality or try to win over those brands, in fact luxury brands have fled from Amazon for a while now.

(See: https://qz.com/807419/is-it-even-possible-to-sell-luxury-on-..., among other articles that you can find from googling.)

But I agree that it's very strange that Amazon is buying Whole Foods, which is a luxury grocery store, to then try to replicate Walmart. This will just alienate the customer base and drive them to Traders Joes, Coops, etc.
React without JSX is very clunky at best.

Good SO answers usually link to the documentation. Often quicker to get to it via SO than to trawl through the docs hoping to find it.
This. We lived in a similar 1920's neighborhood for about 3 years now, and are friendly with many of the neighbors. We have borrowed a ladder, tools, and exchanged garden vegetables. One neighbor gave me his old power drill. We loaned out our car once. You definitely meet more people when you have a front porch.
A cursory look at the code (10min on my phone) shows nothing obviously wrong. They use a secure source of entropy, and scrypt with decent parameters for generating the key from the passphrase. They use unique salts and nonces of decent lengths. That alone is better than 90% of the crypto code I review.

I would still prefer https://www.passwordstore.org/ though. I like the ability to insert a new passwd without having to type a passphrase. And it's more robust because updating 1 password only rewrites 1 file, whereas with passmgr the whole file is rewritten. This also mean the passwordstore data base is easier to revision-control and sync across multiple machines. Finally with passwordstore I can update my passphrase by simply changing it on my PGP key ("gpg --edit-key $id" and use the "passwd" command.) But with passmgr there is no mechanism to change it (every entry would have to be decrypted and re-encrypted.)

The mole and amu's (similar concepts) will never go away. It's a fundamental concept in chemistry. Reactions happen between individual particles but counting out individual atoms or molecules to supply for a reactions is impossible or ridiculously impractical at best. So chemicals have to be measured by mass (which we can measure) and then converted into number of particles. Until a molecular counting device exists, the mole will remain.
It's not on SO people search for their problem; it's Google. If SO comes up before the official documentation, then I guess by at least a quantifiable metric, SO is not that much worse than the docs, after all...
Brand name? I'm no marketing expert but maybe they want to trade on the name in the same way Cadillac has gone further and further down market but is still marketed as a luxury brand that can compete with European luxury cars
Probably because Whole Foods was struggling, so it was easier to buy them and take them downmarket to compete with Trader Joe's, rather than buying Trader Joe's.
Indeed. For the record, I let people take however much time they need, if they get stuck I ask them to discuss their approach, etc. I'm not looking for the solution (as parent said, it is a solved problem), I'm looking for evidence of problem solving skills. And you can demonstrate them, even for this question, without actually being able to write down a working solution. (I don't want to go into everything here, but one of the things I look for is people who consider the case of an empty list - critically thinking about special cases is an important trait)

That said, work environment often has some kind of time constraint. If one can't solve any of the (simple, abstract, representative) problems that I pose within a 2hour time frame, it is possible that they are not a good match. And unfortunately, I rarely have the leisure to hire someone for a month to prove otherwise.

[from a comment of yours below]

> You're right about that particular exercise. I kind of used it to make a more general point.

That may be true for others, but my interview questions are all of this mold: abstract, with a short and simple (but not trick-required-here) solution, close to (an abstract version of) a real world "business problem".

I agree that technical interview questions (much like many aspects of life) put the wrong kind of stress on some and puts them at a disadvantage. But, and I always ask this[0], what alternative do you suggest?

[0] The answers so far have been essentially either "no idea", "let me prove to you on my terms" (which, when broken down, is rarely economical for either side or at all possible), or "just trust me on this"; I find none of them satisfying.

I don't know what you go to Whole Foods for but I go there for the food, and if the same food is cheaper then why not.

Personally, I prefer Trader Joe's to WF. TJ by design stocks FEWER SKUs, has human (humane) cashiers that can engage you in conversation and know how to properly bag items. It's the closest thing to European street stands, excluding of course the American farmer's market which can be so much more expensive.
I think it's because Google somehow manages to index stack overflow better than the documentation. That, and stack overflow only answers real-world questions while the documentation tends to give equal weight to rarely and commonly used features.
On touch screen it is very BBC Radiophonic Workshop, a nice toy to get some sounds from, to suit a play on Radio 4, that sort of thing.

It my make ornithologists cringe but I think the merit in this work could be elsewhere, as a creative musical instrument of sorts.

> I don't use it anymore because it's too common to be useful.

I've found that having common questions used across many interviews allows for more objective direct comparisons. I like this one in particular because even if they solve it quickly, you can move on to questions about cycles in the input.

What do you use now?
Hmmn. The entire story is attributed to "a person with knowledge of the company’s grocery plans." We aren't told whether this is a senior Amazon executive or an automation-services vendor who sat in on a couple meetings with a mid-level Amazon team and thinks he/she has the whole story.

Everything in the piece sounds like one path that Amazon could take. But Amazon also has a long history of exploring a lot of ideas before deciding where it will commit big resources. Hearing the same scenario from multiple sources would have been helpful.
As a current student there, it's real useful to be able to hit up a mailing list of your neighbors, when you need to borrow something.

This is awesome. Traveling in Europe right now (from USA) and bought a 5GB data only Ortel card in Italy on June 5 for 20 euro. June 11th I'm in Salzburg and it doesn't work, which is my previous experience. I go to Slovenia for a few days where it does work, possibly because of the new regulation, some carriers apparently started it up on June 1. Yesterday June 17th cross back into Austria and It Works!

It works now in Prague too, though maybe it would have anyway.

So now this one 20 euro prepaid data card has worked in Germany, Austria, Slovenia, and the Czech republic.

This was so confusing before, lots of sim cards would roam in different countries, but only for texts and sms. The data would just shut down. Sometimes one type of plan would work and another wouldn't (on the same carrier). The carriers were super confusing about what would work where, digging through their sites would yield nothing about were things would work. You had to talk to phone shop people and other travelers to figure it out.

It it so great not to have to manage this country by country or get a special carrier to do this. And Europe is tiny, there was a guy on my train commuting from Slovenia to Austria for his paramedic job. And see http://thetruesize.com/

The news is underplaying how much better this is. It rocks.

At first glance, this seems silly and something that is unlikely to ever take off.

But feeling that way, at least initially, about a startup that becomes big often seems to share that characteristic.
This reminds me somewhat of a social conundrum I've been experiencing lately; the thing is, in some cases I love most of my neighbors, however there are always the few who won't/don't value communal items/space. The group of those residents who want to just live harmoniously with their neighbors outnumbers the subset of residents who care enough about the rules to confront those breaking them. The passive group vilifies and subjugates those who try to mention anything to bad actors abusing the space, because they feel it will only rock the boat, and the ones breaking the rules shout the loudest.

If this sounds oddly specific, that's because it is- In my community we have a communal pool for our apartment block of 10-15 units. In general, everyone gets along, but there do exist problems where self governance and trust have failed, as far as taking care of shared property. Those who just want to live peacefully are retreating into their homes, those who care enough to say anything have been dismissed by the tenant in question, labeled as racist, bigoted or otherwise are browbeaten by the more fearful tenants into not reporting the problems.

In our case, it is a swimming pool, and a struggle with a tenant and her friends who sit around the pool drinking alcohol loudly all day, never once leaving, who enter the shallow end of the pool about twice an hour for 10 seconds, swishing their hands in the water around their waist before they exit. There is a restroom in her apartment which is less than 20 feet from the pool; I'm not positive what's going on in those 10 seconds, but people like myself who's balconies overlook the pool are noting this, and nobody wants to swim anymore because of it. Any suggestions about just talking to the tenant elicit a gasp and dirty look from the pacifist crowd. How would you, dear reader, handle a delicate situation like this?

After realizing how futile any complaints would be, I've stopped swimming until I find the respectful and correct way to put a resolution on this.

This personal anecdote may have strayed from its target, but relating the situation to the void felt somewhat cathartic.

Don't German networks have agreements to route traffic for other operators if they don't have coverage somewhere? That would surprise me.
