Was the ROI measured in dollars or in 'doing the right thing' type phases? As an example, from what I have read of Apple, it would have been better for them financially to just take from the grid or buy up existing renewable energy but they see non-monetary benefits to going renewable. Cook has pretty vigorously defended Apples position to chafe holders.
While I agree with Apples position, it isn't a cheap option.
I use Intellij for java and vim for most other languages. I started using VS Code more often recently because it is really easy to set up ide like tooling for smaller languages in it. Vim usually involves manually configuring plugins and possibly setting up environment variables.

Emacs probably also could fill this niche but whenever I try I run into things like term mode that clash with evil in horrendous ways.
> The problem with 'conscientious capitalism' is that a competitor will take the idea and run with it, save for the 'conscientious' elements, and push out the original from the market.

That's not a problem with 'conscientious capitalism' itself, it's a problem with the monomania of the market and the loss of compensatory factors that could hold that monomania in check.

The shaking represents any sort of action that doesn't perform a measurement. It was the first thing I thought of that could affect the ball without opening the box.

It could be that the shaking didn't have an effect. But equally, it could have had an effect. The spooky bit is that the other ball 'knows' whether it did or not in a non-local way.

It's a $13 billion sale. I struggle to see the scenario under which that is considered a failure. Most start-ups that get $120k from YC are considered a success here. Someone selling their struggling CRUD app to Amazon for $13 million would probably be considered a success here.

But the $13 billion sale of a public company is a bunch of hemming and hawing about what the stock was worth a few years ago.

I'm not saying it couldn't have been more successful. I'm not saying Amazon won't completely destroy the culture (they may, they may just let it continue as is and use it as Amazon Fresh logistics hubs as some have speculated).

But I don't see how this isn't a great example of how you can treat your employees well - better than almost anyone else at the same level - and make a lot of money while doing it.

That's exactly the experience I saw canceling Blue Apron. You request to cancel, they acknowledge your request and say okay but with a weasel word reply. Something like 4-6 weeks later a new shipment shows up unexpectedly and they purport that they can't refund because it's been delivered.

I even tweeted at their CEO about the company's use of questionable and shady growth tactics to no avail. That is the kind of move that makes me open a credit card dispute against the company and write them off for good.

Yes and no. After all, these are just modes using Keccak (think, say, AES-CBC, AES-GCM all use AES), so the choice depends more on the purpose than anything else.
But indeed, the naming is confusing. Instead of SHA3-256, SHAKE256, KMAC256 and ParallelHash256, maybe they should have better named them SHA-3-hash256, SHA-3-xof256, SHA-3-mac256 and SHA-3-parallel256 (or so).

I get that. And I think your ideas are useful, but to me they're not the whole picture. I've explained how I think about things below. Caution: you'll probably find those views too extreme for your taste. I'm fine with that.
Sadly, it is an oversimplification. Maybe low IQ means a high chance to get poor, but high IQ doesn't mean a high chance to get rich. There is no IQ band in which you are most likely to earn in a $1M+ a year band, and i know a ton of quite average intelligence guys and girls who make it. If you are smart enough to finish a somewhat better than average college, becoming even smarter doesn't help you much in making more.

Of course this is complete nonsense. It's useful for plotting stories, but seems to have imprinted on a large fraction of readers a total falsehood. Do you know where the idea started? I think the first time I saw it was in Orson Scott Card's novel "Ender's Game" (1985).

>but poor households have been negatively impacted by Amazon

Households where money is tight are sharing prime memberships among them and using that to undercut the cost of buying consumer goods locally. You can go into your local $typeofstore and get ripped off for a set of $releventproduct or you could buy something that came out of the same overseas factory with a different brand label on it and wait 50hr for a third of the price.

> In a lengthy and heavily reported article, The Call said a warehouse employee contacted the Occupational Safety and Health Administration on June 2 to report that the heat index in the warehouse had reached 102 degrees, and that 15 workers had collapsed. The employee also said workers who were sent home because of the heat received disciplinary points.

> Eight days later, the paper said, an emergency room doctor at a local hospital saw enough Amazon employees suffering from heat-related injuries to call OSHA and report “an unsafe environment.”

> So many ambulances responded to medical assistance calls at the warehouse during a heat wave in May, the paper said, that the retailer paid Cetronia Ambulance Corps to have paramedics and ambulances stationed outside the warehouse during several days of excess heat over the summer. About 15 people were taken to hospitals, while 20 or 30 more were treated right there, the ambulance chief told The Call.
That is wrong. E.g. one of the richest families in Belgium is the de Spoelberch family. They owned the brewery Artois, which through various acquisitions and mergers turned into ABInBev. Together with the de Mévius and Vandamme families, they were estimated to be worth about 49 billion Euros in 2015 [1]. Another example in that list is the Janssen family (Solvay and UCB) whose fortune goes back a long way.

I feel like at least half of the average grocery store staff I see are skilled: butchers, fishmongers, cheese and wine managers, and pasty or bakers. Proportion varies with class of grocery: BiLo obviously having fewer than WF.

There's the checkout counter and stock in the back, but I feel like the employed-during-the-day crew definitely has career opportunities.
The most important metric
I was the early CTO for Shipt who helped build their grocery delivery platform and engineering team. This is obviously HUGE news in the grocery delivery space. Both Instacart and Shipt will need to double down on customer service in order to continue to thrive. The Publix/Instacart partnership is BIG for them and Shipt's partnership with Meijer is helpful to them in the midwest. The biggest keys to success here going forward is extreme efficiency and laser customer focus.

>with bad interfaces

VS Code's interface is nearly identical to Sublime's, with some nice sugar in places that are helpful (optional GUI for keybindings and extensions).

For debugging and version control VS Code's interface OOTB is leaps and bounds above Sublime's.

Meh I have 16GB of RAM on my old computer. Or do you actually just mean HDD space? Who cares about 200MB in that regard?

OK, but WF stock is held mostly by ordinary people (or by pension funds acting on behalf of ordinary people) and the argument being made above is that there are signs that the reason WF ended up being owned by a company without WF's reputation for good treatment of employees is that selling the company was the only way for WF's management to meet their fiduciary responsibility to those ordinary people who hold WF stock.
Frustrated Scala users take note: Idris can compile to JVM bytecode (https://github.com/mmhelloworld/idris-jvm), JavaScript (displacing Scala.js), and native code (displacing Scala Native). Idris may be a very good choice for a post-Scala language.

One thing that I find strange, though, is that some of the most prolific Scala developers who are critical of the language seem to stick to languages such as Haskell/Eta and PureScript. Maybe it's the immaturity of the Idris ecosystem.
I don't think I need to be a good leader for this. What I'm looking for, is a place with bored programmers, where I could present what I want to do and maybe there will be someone who says "this looks fun" and join me. Or is nobody doing software just for fun anymore?. It's a specific topic and I don't want to bother my friends with it, I need someone who will be 100% interested in it.
Love this, applies to so many things.
I think cigarettes share something in common with the meth epidemic in rural America, and I'm not talking addiction: When you don't have a job or you're seriously underemployed, no money, no hope, no opportunities for upward mobility, you look at things almost as a "why not?" issue. Anything to take the edge off of life, make things a little different. It gets compounded by the addictive nature of cigarettes and meth and other drugs.
Regarding your last point, how do you know that it's not also a class divide? I wouldn't be surprised if South African blacks were more impoverished overall.
[I'm not a physicist] I like your analogy for color entanglement. However, it doesn't show the "weirdness" of superposition (the balls don't have a concrete value until one of the boxes are opened, at which point, this triggers the determination of the open box's color value), nor the "spookiness" of action-at-a-distance (opening one box instantly influences the state of the ball in the other box -- which now must be the opposite color when its box is opened).

Intuitively, someone might think: well, the ball colors were "decided" while the two balls were next to each other (ballA will be orange, ballB will be purple), and the information about the color is attached to the balls, so the balls know what color to be when they are separated and later opened (they have "hidden variables" indicating the assigned color)....however, the reality (provable statistically by Bell's Theorem) is that the balls do not carry this color information, and instead the act of opening the box, randomly sets the color of BallA and instantly affects the color that BallB will have.

So if both people synchronize the time to open the box (that has some time relativity problems), so that BoxA is opened a fraction of a second before BoxB, then BoxA's color will influence BoxB's color (seen a fraction of a second later), but that will have happened faster than the speed of light would allow if BoxA was sharing its color information with BoxB.
It looks like the original Woot folks want to try again:

> Though I do find it interesting that people on Hacker news, Slashdot, and reddit will generally follow the convention of responding inline

Actually, they don't. Most posts don't quote their parent at all, it's a unitary response to the full parent post. Which is what bottom-quoting does - it doesn't actually quote the parent post, it leaves it in for reference (which makes sense because email clients, unlike HN, are pretty crap at keeping track of conversation threads).

Very few people communicate in the super-structured way that in-line quoting implies, that you go through an email sentence(/line/paragraph) by sentence(/..) and respond individually to them. It's super-arrogant, and thankfully getting very rare, to insist that your way, just because it was first, and then completely failed to catch on, is the one true way and people are "unbelievably stupid" to disagree with you.
The rise and fall of major corporations isn't necessarily the result of the inexorable application of market forces. Alcoa's grasp on the market was broken as much by the aftermath of 'war socialism' as anything else, for example. Companies compete with each other on legal, regulatory, and social planes as well as in the marketplace.

I think it's difficult to find any single X that makes "if a company is bad at X, it will be replaced by competitors" a consistently true statement, without X being essentially synonymous with "succeeding".

Yes, but while Sublime is still way faster, there's not much human-time-perceptible difference between Sublime and VS Code, and there's still (even in this new 1.18) a huge difference between Atom and the other two.

Sublime (or really any competently-designed native editor) does indeed use way less memory for any text-editing task than any Electron-based app. But memory is fast. VS Code shows that an Electron-based app can exhibit performance basically equivalent to a native app at most tasks (other than opening that initial window, where it's still an order of magnitude slower).

So I think the performance problem with Atom is more Atom than Electron.

(Still, though, if you only have 16GB RAM, you probably don't want to use more than 4 Electron-based apps.)
TLDR; In Germany, 60% of people get vocational training as their "higher education" designed for vary specific jobs. Companies sign contract with young people at the age of 15-16. They get certification for this specific training by age of 20 and then get on with those jobs. At least half of the education system is designed as a "factory" that produces specific skilled workers that industry asks for.

Personally I'm not sure if any country should be adopting this model.
She's not relating to the people she's trying to help. It's like a wealthy person trying to reason with a poor person.
Went through the same. 3 years of no money and salary before we raised . It was worse for us, because we were doing fintech at a time when it was considered stupid and everyone who was doing Uber-of-X were raising incredible amounts of funding from the same coworking space.

You should definitely take a holiday - but here's my viewpoint. People don't burn out by working hard. In fact, people start getting depressed when they are not burning with purpose.

Burning out is a deeper symptom - I know because I had it and I realized what it was. It could be a combination of fear and frustration at what you are doing.

I have an alternate suggestion - talk to other cofounders. Nothing cheers you up as seeing other miserable people (it's true!). Gives you perspective and a country to belong to. I have come to realize that some startup meetups are actually therapy camps - I don't know of the US ones, but there are a couple in India.

One of the most interesting statements I heard while attending YC was "One of the reasons founders quit is because they think others had it easier". Emphasis on "easier".

Not sure who said it (I think mwseibel), but it was at least true in my case. It just made me work harder. Even if my startup had not survived, it was still worth it.
Or a mentor. I would be willing to mentor someone, but I don't have the time to do it for them.
The maths of life and death: our secret weapon in the fight against disease
This was exactly my thought. In fact, why would a retailer like Amazon want to have upper-income distribution facilities? The cost of storage would be exceedingly high. And if that's the winning strategy, isn't Costco already pretty well positioned in that space?
That's awesome... I haven't really invested in good knives yet.

My girlfriend who's been a daily cook for years can look at the meal kit recipes and find ways to parallelize or speed them up that aren't necessarily obvious, like boiling this water before you start prepping, or cooking a thing inside another already hot pan instead of a separate one. I think the directions prioritize easy before fast.
Often the expensive production method comes down in cost if it's used more. Presumably regulating the industry can also happen directly ("make production safer") or indirectly by allowing workers to sue for health problems.
Amazon has been piloting its Uber Eats competitor (at least in Chicago) as well. I think they call it Amazon Restaurants. This indicates willingness to use small businesses as distribution centers in limited capacity.
And Costco.
It's not hard to make PHP seg fault and in the course of doing web development and hosting you will need to use core files to debug opaque issues with GDB.
I don't think so. You're talking about a class of people who have been beaten up so much by society for being poor, that I think most will look at that sign and go "yeah no shit" and light up again. Followed by a few more choice words at you and the sign.
It's called "skilled trade" for a reason. When the apprentice plumber has passed his apprenticeship everyone knows that this fellow knows his stuff and can follow developments in his field. If you want plumbing done, get a plumber, if you want electric get an electrician. If you want a trained monkey, go to America.
Notepad++ was nice back in the day but it's easily among the worst editors now.
I'm a long time WF stock holder and fan of "alternative" grocers. Since it was Wild Oats. There are some big investors that have been unhappy and applying pressure. WF is fundamentally a regional thing that they made multi regional. It doesn't work everywhere with everybody.

I'm just guessing, but I'd think WF would tighten up the philosophy a little, probably focus on whole and natural foods more than some of the other philosophies as that can scale. That would mean maybe leading a little less with local, FT, and only organic in favor of whole and natural food. Perhaps some more brand name stuff on the shelves. It provides a great way to roll out Go with a customer base that is probably receptive to it. THen I'd expect more technology stuff, curb side pickup, maybe even free delivery from amazon to WF stores for pickup, maybe.

You cant change WF too much or it just breaks and people like it for what it is. I think it would be easier to start a generic grocer from scatch than turn WF in to a safe-way.
So you would rather have people who lack any skills that are worth minimum wage, starve instead of being able to work for less than minimum wage?
No I have not misunderstood you, maybe I haven't made myself clear enough(not a native English speaker here...). As you also say, the context itself is what matters. For example, today I would guess most e.g. Canadians do not hunt for survival. Having a Canadian hunter saying "I hunt elks for sports, but I appreciate them", is kind of funny and meaningless. In the context of hunting for sports, it is pointless to say "but I appreciate them".
If you beat up your neighbor cause he attacked you with an axe, and you needed to save your life, it is pointless to say that you appreciate him. It is clear you did what you did, cause you appreciate your own existence more than him. It is equally pointless to say "but I appreciate him" after making clear that you beat him up, cause you din't like his face.
In both cases, the context is clear and thus the level of appreciation to the other party. Stating "but..." is meaningless. That for, my understanding of what the level of appreciation of someone hunting for sports towards his pray, is that it is very low by my standards.
