> 2) anti-competitive behavior

That's not much of an argument in the context of patents, because the sole purpose of patents is to prevent competition. All usage of enforceable patents is inherently anti-competitive behavior.

Students wreck stuff the DO own, as well.
Is there a story behind the team photo on the home page where everyone is wearing white tops?
Probably factored into the final price, heavily discounted given Amazon's own plans for last-mile.
I didn't know these kind of places existed until I had to interview. I honestly thought it was too niche and must be some kind of scam.

But after like two months into my job search and feeling hopeless, I signed up for one of the sites to do practice interviews because I was running out of options.

I never went through with it because I got an offer, but I will definitely put this in my tool bag and will start practicing in the near future.

I now understand why there is a need for these types of services.
Salt for some!

(turns out response to salt varies wildly between people)
If you are standoffish and unwilling to participate that is quite telling of how you will be when you are given tasks that aren't fun.

Is it really, though? And do I read this correctly that one of your interviewing intents is to make the candidate uncomfortable?
Oh man that picture slicing through the body with a razor blade made me cringe hahaha. WHYYYYYYYY
Would CFAA really apply here? He's not accessing any computer illegitimately, the blockchain is public record, the key was posted to a public website. He's accessing the public siacoin network, posting transactions that anyone has permission to.

I think Amazon might only own the patent on this to prevent others from doing the same thing.

Ah, forgot about the add-on signing. Having Dev Tools tests makes sense, too.
Could you elaborate why you think stratification is a bad thing? I think at age 10 you can robustly determine whether or not a student has the abilities for serious academic work, and I believe it's best for the students to get an education that's appropriate for their talents/needs.
Besides, the system (as I experienced it in southern germany) is quite permeable, so even if the sorting is not perfect, students with the necessary academic ability have many paths to university.
Modern MacBook Pros are quite a bit thinner (and more solid/sturdy feeling) than just a few years ago; and, poking around at iFixit's site, it looks like they all get 1/10 scores.
Fair enough, but keep in mind that in the 1800s, parents often made their young children work 16 hour days in the sun farming for them. Child labor, under harsh conditions. We've grown accustomed to a much easier life now, but it was not always like this.
indent/dedent: how is it less efficient using handwriting than using keyboard? If you mean the case like you realized that you need to add an if to add another level of indention, any interviewer/company requires you to wipe the whole thing and reindent properly on the whiteboard is not worthing working for anyway.

cut-paste: if you are doing this a lot, you are doing it wrong.

refactor: sure. but for whiteboard interviews, it's rarely needed, or it's small enough that you can just wipe and rewrite it again on another part of the whiteboard.

Of course, all these points are assuming that the interview question is "suitable" for whiteboard interview. If you find yourself need to write more than 100 lines of code on a whiteboard during for an interview question, at least one of the interviewer and interviewee is doing it wrong.
They don't seem to have a teardown of the latest MacBook Pros, but looking at the MacBook, it looks like they are heading in the same direction. https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Retina_MacBook_2017
> anti-competitive behavior.

The problem I see is that they are fine doing it to others with their app, but not ok when it's done to them.
You don't need to file a trademark for this. I did get plenty of those for domains I own in the last 10 years. There was even one "company" which did send me snail mails for this.
In my view, the customer base is more important than the actual business, and so it may or may not retain its current form over time - my guess is that it will morph into Amazon's vision for retail. I bet 95% of WF shoppers are prime members already - ie. people with disposable income - and patronage and walletshare from that demographic is what Amazon values.
People don't need any valid reason to go. All they need is the means, the money, and the desire and then they can go for whatever reason, good or bad, they have.

This is all presented as a project where people who want in are paying for themselves. People who want out can just as well continue their life and stop telling others what is meaningful, what they're allowed to dream about.
My cofounder Ranidu runs Whale and we have a great team there.

I was originally intending to incubate more companies but have decided to focus on Atrium LTS as I think it is a huge opportunity.
Not really. Now that they own the patent, they can refuse to license it to anyone who may create a product that blocks their app.

(IBM) SoftLayer runs a separate public and private network; and private is segregated by customer.

I work for one of their customers.

I'm not so sure about that. I intentionally direct the reader to the textbook for real understanding. The aim of the article is to connect the dots from that textbook to clojure code, as is stated at the beginning.

They aren't strictly needed; but that is not much of an argument.

Having Maybe and Either available is a huge help. Those are examples of generic types I've really benefited from in Haskell, Scala, Rust, Kotlin, Swift... But of course I can code without them if I have to.

Was the article about taking an overnight hike on Mars?

Was my response about taking an overnight hike in the Sahara?

No. So why do you feel the need to lie about it?

> I assure you, there are places on Earth that are effectively as remote and frontier-like as Mars, where you can comfortably die, knowing that no assistance was coming or possible.

You're arguing against a point I didn't make.

Why?

> If your goal is to make Mars hospitable, I suggest you do some back of the envelope math to see how much energy it would take to divert some water comets onto Mars and then to terraform it to create some sort of rudimentary atmosphere.

Which is a suggestion, not a rational argument.

Go actually overlaps with Java a lot in terms of use case and "semi-static" typing.
That'd be illegal, so I kinda doubt it. Not to mention that jammers are pretty easy to detect with the right equipment so it'd be fairly easy to prove if they were doing something like that.
Where Whole Foods ranks among Amazon acquisitions
"Because its there" is the argument of mountain-climbers[1]. That can be an argument for an Apollo-style mission, not for a colonization project.

I hope it is okay to let folks know about our site in this thread: https://capitalandgrowth.org

It is a free resource for founders to ask questions on sales and marketing--we have about two dozen and growing domain experts. We also do weekly interviews with investors, one of which ran on Y Combinator's blog (Paul Buchheit).
> Customers already trust Whole Foods and they like the assortment, but (1) only a small percentage of the population has access to a store, and (2) an even smaller percentage of the population can afford it.

Efficiency and cheapness would go against the Whole Foods brand.
Mother Jupiter misses a catch and an asteroid hits the Earth, wiping out all life as we know it. Think world-ending events - as rare/far-fetched as they may be.

Some people don't want all of our eggs in one basket. The chances a planet gets destroyed is a bit higher than a solar system or multiple planets.

Also one counter-argument to this is "But then why not the Moon?" I don't have as strong of a counterargument for that other than without the Earth's gravitational pull keeping the Moon in orbit, maybe it will get knocked into the sun or something when Earth is destroyed. Also I'm pretty sure international treaties and such prevent colonization of the moon.
I'm not sure if it's ironic, or fitting, that the end of the article is a piece of artwork credited only as "Please let me know if you know the source of this image."
I am concerned when considering developing a simple client-application to do it server side or client side. If it's javascript someone could just copy your source code. I don't use any libraries/frameworks right now so it would just be pure javascript/no dependency.

I am thinking of building something and if I did it client side I could avoid potential attacks if I'm not mistaken as no server-side storage/execution is involved. But that concern of literally right-click save page and reupload...

The tool is a put-something-in get something out sort of deal and can be done entirely client side with JS.

Also doesn't seem like it's anything "amazing" or "revolutionary" I just wonder if it's so easy to steal... ehhh cross that road when you get to it.

Because their quest for control works only when it restricts the things I've always been able to do with paper books.

When I buy books I can give them away, I can resell them, I can loan them to you, I can leave them to my kids in my will, and I can read them in any country that I want.

I want to be able to do the same things with digital books. I remove the DRM from every book that I buy and I feel no guilt over doing so. Today I read on a Kindle, but maybe tomorrow I want to buy a Kobo device. When I do, I don't want to lose access to my library.

Is any of that unreasonable?
See? The first word that comes to my mind after finding this out is extortion. I'm sure someone can tell me that somehow this is legal. But it's unethical.

It's worth pointing out that trusted execution for individual queries does not, in general, rule out the attacks discussed in this paper. If the database collects (for example) frequency information about queries, inference attacks can still be used to recover plaintext.

EDIT: The fundamental problem is that trusted hardware doesn't hide the access pattern by itself. Trusted hardware can be used to hide some kinds of access patterns, but it's highly nontrivial and has only been demonstrated in some limited settings. For example, there was a paper at NSDI this year called "Opaque" which showed how to use SGX to hide access patterns for some kinds of Spark queries.

No, it's not "for" vice. It's just there's more reason to use bc for those things, so those are "early adopters".

There is nothing stopping you use it for anything else.
A note is that sweet dessert (at least in Turkish Culture) is not meant to be consumed en-masse. You eat a whole packet of m&ms or reese's pieces, but you eat only one or two pieces of baklava. It's a few bites of sweet to sweeten your palate and then it's gone. Though I'm thinking of stuff like Baklava here, lokum is also eaten a few at a time, but it's supposed to be not too sweet, rather of a specific flavor to stay in your mouth for a while, like citrus, rose, melon, pistachio or pomegranate.

Ask HN: If you encrypt everything can you still have real time search?
I have to do this, encrypt stuff that I store especially any personally identifiable data. I'm not talking about passwords I store hashes and at this time I don't have anybody's data (no apps with users).

I'm just thinking ahead, I currently build on LAMP and I don't know I'd probably use Go, why? No particular reason other than "I hear a lot about it."

I'm concerned about real-time search like wild-card on key press, display matches... I actually don't really have an application in mind right now.

I have been doing analytic tracking the only thing possible to "encrypt" would be ip addresses. The rest are just usage data like url's requested/scrolls/clicks. And there are no names/emails.

> Humanity has always looked to colonize places seemingly on the margin of livability.

I think you're missing my point. It's just dreaming to call Mars "on the margin of livability". There's insufficient air to breath. No plants will grow there. There's no industry, etc. Every single thing outside of rocks and solar power will have to be brought from Earth.

> Northern Europe, the arctic, the Eurasian steppes, etc.

Comparing those places to Mars is again dreaming.

People have been living in those places for thousands of years, and subsisting on what they can grow / gather / kill locally.

No such local lifestyle is possible on Mars.

> By living on Mars we'll unlock our ability to live not just there but in space and on other planets.

How does that work?

Maybe some technology helps, but you can't get past the sheer volume of air / water required to terraform Mars. And once you've done that, it's all on Mars. You can't use it to do anything else.

I like science fiction as much as the next person, but your response is a fantastical vision of hope. It requires a hard-nosed engineering approach to turn that hope into reality.

Why Libraries Matter (2014) [video]
While passwords are still my preferred method, I was trying to think about ways to incorporate a passwordless system.

I like the method that Slack has.. while they offer the old method of logging in with a password, their other method is to send your email a link and then once that link is clicked, they set a cookie indefinitely.

The other way is once a user registers for an account, they get an email to login, but before they can login, they have to enter in their phone number, so then from then on out, every time they enter in their email, they will get sent a text message and simply have to enter in a code.

It is still not technically passwordless, but it certainly is a unique method to have people login.

No matter how far we come though, the username and password seem to still be our best method of knowing WHO YOU ARE and verifying the account belongs to you.
Counter-counterpoint: here's a bucket of sand, some ore, and a furnace. Make a processor. Be sure to explain your thought process as you go!

(after all, this is "fundamentals", right?)

The choice of which "fundamentals" to test on is entirely in the hands of the interviewer, and for sake of ease seems to have converged on pop-quiz-style problems which do not test knowledge of "fundamentals" but instead test ability to snap-recall things that -- let's be honest -- don't get directly used a lot in day-to-day programming. How many working programmers honestly write graph or tree structures from scratch on a daily basis? I don't. If I need something basic I use a library -- its implementation is likely to be more correct and more robust than anything I'm likely to produce quickly from scratch.

Which means this approach biases against people with experience of day-to-day programming, and in favor of inexperienced recent college graduates who've been regurgitating this information in exams. Which in turn means it's achieving the opposite of what you claim it's meant to achieve. I don't see how that's defensible, but for some reason people chant FUNDAMENTALS! FUNDAMENTALS! FUNDAMENTALS! Ballmer-style whenever the topic comes up.

Would be very curious to see if this is, in fact, a play to get into other industries via the backdoor by reimaging the whole foods layout. Seems odd on the surface to pay a premium for a Grocery store with slowing growth at a time when rivals from across the pond (Aldi and Lidl) seek to gain a foothold in the market. If anybody has some expertise in gamesmanship and would like to give their two cents on the deal, that would be nice.

Every group of people was self sufficient (or dead) at some point. We just want to keep improving our quality of life at rate that demands more division of labor. Scale that back a bit, of course colonists with have a lower quality of life, they are colonists.

Then scale back from 100% self supporting and make a place on mars that is most self-supporting or self-supporting in an emergency. They don't need to be self sufficient from day 1, they need need to be self sufficient enough to eventually get by without constant injection of resources. At some point that can be part of this economy that makes it unprofitable to have self-sufficiency on Earth, but because of trade costs the economics will look different, but not impossible. Locally source will be 1% the cost so buying from Earth with done only for the most valuable items. Things like seeds or IP make perfect sense to buy across the gulf of space. Thing like bulk lumber and toilet paper do not and probably never will.
