Incidentally, your daily dosage coincides with the amount of times I've had to do the same thing at all since I started using email some twenty five years ago.

> It's an incredibly common use case

For some, perhaps. On the other hand, I'd suggest that another, at least for me more common use case is to know exactly what is being replied to. Which is possible with proper quoting, rather than the let's-just-slap-on-your-entire-message-at-the-bottom-and-hope-you're-a-mind-reader nonsense.

I've seen autoplaying videos that have muted audio. Those don't feel as invasive as the autoplaying audio.
Yeah I felt them at Nordstroms and thought the Nordstrom in house brand was much better quality. Then again Bonobos is probably more fashion forward wrt the cut and style.
One thing I haven't seen mentioned here yet is that I wonder if Amazon intends to sell on their regular online store some of the non-perishable items that Whole Foods sells. Currently, Amazon is not usually competitive vs. VitaCost, Lucky Vitamin, and Swanson Health. I didn't realize until checking just now that VitaCost is owned by Kroger.
Key difference between your comment, and the parent, is the distinction between now and later (time) along with "knowledge" vs "resources." If ai-driven technology produces new abstractions, or put differently, massively reduces the cost and access to resources that are currently scarce and valuable, then you have a whole layer of newly introduced resource(s) to Build businesses off of. This might not be new knowledge the way I took it in your comment. I also think it's reasonable to assume that as quality engineering time keeps getting poured into these areas, these new abstractions will happen. I also believe this is a great way to look at the world, which is why I felt compelled to clarify.
In Amazon's case you don't even need that, you just need
to click a button.

Yes, that was the point of the thread. On Amazon's site, order cancellations are automated and can be done on the website, while for many other online stores you have to contact a human to do it manually.
Muscle and Fitness: 15-MINUTE TEX-MEX CHICKEN SALAD
Comparing the US to Iceland is an extremely unfair comparison.
Many companies won't give that feedback purely for legal reasons.

That's not the real reason. They like to think it's the reason. But it's not the real reason.

The main reason they don't like to give feedback is that it's awkward and embarrassing. And because the most hiring managers (and especially most HR staff) don't have the communication skills (or plain and simple personal maturity) to convey the information tactfully. And because (in a large part due to the second factor mentioned), it can take up a an awful lot of time (in a process that generally ends up taking much longer than anyone would like or expect it to, in the first place).

(Yes, I know there are anecdotal stories of candidates occasionally getting all huffy, or in fact doing much worse, when you give them honest feedback; and I wouldn't doubt that there's been a frivolous, costly lawsuit here or there, once upon a time. But still, my observation of the industry and of general human nature suggests that's not the real reason).

Even so: I'm OK with not getting feedback. And I can (sort of) forgive them when they're late in coming back with a simple "no". But not getting any kind of a status (not even a boilerplate rejection email), ever? That's the part I don't get.
>and that it is completely obvious that all humans are either male or female

Hello? Intersex people? This is patently false under even the simplest analysis.
They have also over expanded in Berkeley/Oakland. Three WF between Lake Merritt and Albany is too many, and they are opening a 4th. They should open more in other parts of the East Bay, such as San Lorenzo, Freemont, other parts of Oakland, etc.

Only the 27th street WF is as good as the many, many other natural/whole/organic foods stores there.
Most significant takeaways [italics mine]:

"...almost anything a typical human can do with less than one second of mental thought, we can probably now or in the near future automate using AI... Take a security guard looking at a video feed and saying, “Are there people in this? Are they doing something suspicious?” That task is actually a lot of one-second judgment thoughts strung together, so I think a lot of it can be automated."

"...tell your children: “Learn to be lifelong learners.”
Sorry, are you trolling, or do you not even code? You don't indent/dedent, cut-paste, or refactor? You know exactly how you will write an entire file before you begin? This is before we even get into ergonomics such as running out of vertical/horizontal space, or having bad handwriting.
I am wondering what this means for solidus.io. It's the shop system powering bonobos, which is basically just a fork of Spree Commerce.

You can't take apart a surface laptop without destroying it. "Open" in a laptop context sounds to me more like... opening it, you know, so you can see the display and type on the keyboard.
Lowering prices on mid-top tier legal work won't attract more customers, demand is largely inelastic. And their customers, who are fortune X00 types, don't really care about the cost. Oh, sure, they bitch and moan about bills and write op eds about how law firms are terrible and the billable hour is bad. But, in the end, like OP says, companies routinely go back to the same crop of biglaw firms. There is no such thing as 'disruption' in this industry, it never has been disrupted.

This would be such a double-edged sword, essentially freezing development to where we are today (or were several years ago), rather than pursuing more compact and more highly integrated form factors.

I'd rather we continue the march toward making the physical form factor of computers slowly disappear, which will be a much bigger win for everyone. That said, during this march we need to allow certain frequent repairs (like screens and buttons) to be easily accessible, because that is fair.

Mandating upgradability means bulking things up with upgrade slots, rather than integrating things onto a lower power, more compact SoC. The other benefit of this is environmental, since you're making a smaller system with fewer components over time.
This sounds to me like a specific instance of the "most users don't want it, so we won't provide it" problem in computing. Similar to the lack of MacBook for power users. People who want to open their laptop are a tiny minority of users, and thus, not a population worth addressing.
As an aside, we often talk about the coming "labor apocalypse" with automation and AI, and yet, Walmart is the single largest killer of jobs across the country, hands down. Think of how many small retailers, groceries, electronics and nurseries and garden centers have had to close their doors. Also how many jobs has Walmart squeezed out of other companies because of their race to the bottom with pricing?

Unionization fails for many reasons. Even in the US, with all of our protective laws, Wal-Mart is and remains a union-busting force.

Also, I'm not implying this is the fault of local workers. It's simply a terrible mess at every angle.
I'm glad you had a revelation and took it so well. Although maybe not as extreme as you, I also used to think nicotine/cigarettes had almost no benefits and was surprised to learn otherwise. I'll go so far as to say as nicotine is quite possibly the most successful nootropic, with modafinil a close second.

> I haven't quite decoded exactly what the modern formulation of an `interpretive routine` is.

It sounded like a description of an interpreter used to emulate the behavior of the host machine, while allowing more tracing of the algorithm. One of the arguments to the interpreter would be the program data to be interpreted.
I don't know why you are being downvoted, this is a valid concern. Microsoft should have at least come up with a solution to exchange/replace these with something more sturdy.

In that case Linux won years ago. Nearly everyone has seen a billboard or mall kiosk or in-flight entertainment system running on Linux, nearly everyone has connected to a web page running on a Linux server, many people run Android-powered TVs. Hell, my dog can push the ice dispenser on my Samsung smart fridge, she's a Linux user too.

Debate's over. If you don't have to know you're using Linux, if you don't have to see yourself as a Linux user, if all you have to do is be exposed to a system that incidentally runs Linux in some odd capacity for it to be considered Linux on the desktop, that's it. Linux won.

Bad news for everyone who is anti-Microsoft but visits Stack Overflow which runs on Windows Server... wonder if those people are aware that they're now considered Windows users?
No, that's pretty much it.

Taken to an extreme, would you propose to altogether disallow translation from one language to another? To instead force readers to learn new languages in order to strictly preserve the original authors' intents?

Personally, I would like to see our storage formats move towards more dynamic documents, so that the reader can literally flip between the original content and the "modernized" variation. Ebook readers already have integrated dictionaries, why not the discussions and interpretations integrated too? (I ask in a partially rhetorical sense; is fighting the inevitable changing of language really gaining anybody anything? Is it not possible that that "problem" is a red herring?)
It does have a checksum. That means error-correcting works just like in the article, by picking the nearest valid code. This could be built-in to the software.

The problem with pharmacy is that it is a (an overly) regulated business. That isn't necessarily something Amazon can easily tackle anymore than anyone else can. Target has struggled with it for years. Target puts pharmacy management on the hook for store sales. The result is you end up waiting for your Rx longer than actually necessary in hopes you will go browse in the store and buy something.

Show HN: ReactCasts #11 – Recompose
I'm not sure if they've recently changed something, but I just started using Google's Cloud Platform and the interface is really easy to use. In just a few clicks you can provision a VM with any amount of storage and then click a button to SSH right to it - key management is handled on the backend seamlessly. Compared to other "cloud" providers I found it the easiest and it allowed the most customization.
Attention Data Scientists: UX/ Front end Developer will build your startup idea
Hello Data scientists of the world, preferably in the West Coast. I'm a frontend developer + UX (https://www.behance.net/gcid) with a startup idea that has some Machine Learning components. I'm looking for a data scientist that can help me make this idea possible and in exchange, I can create React website + Branding identity + Pitch Deck for your own startup idea. We would be working in literally 2 startups at the same time and who knows, maybe both ideas are great. Please ping me here or at my Twitter account @jerrycid . Thanks.

> It's less secure (unless the email is encrypted, which in most cases it is not)

I disagree. With opportunistic encryption, if the recipient' server supports STARTTLS, then the communication between the sender' server and the recipient' server is encrypted using TLS. Nowadays, all major email service providers support STARTTLS.

> If you use GMail with several accounts and POP3 you'll have to wait until GMail sees fit to fetch the email.

Just use the GMail to avoid the delay with fetching third party accounts.

> Password managers provide both a superior UX and superior security. So, by all means at least provide a password-based login as an alternative (which admittedly defeats the purpose for the operator to have a less complex authentication system to worry about).

I mostly agree, but:

1/ Alas, most users don't use a password manager. They keep reusing the same passwords on multiple websites, which is a serious security risk.

2/ If the user uses an email server that doesn't support STARTTLS, then theoretically an attacker could request a password reset and "catch" the unencrypted email.

My conclusion: Passwordless login is an interesting solution. But there are other issues to consider, discussed in other comments (email delivery latency/greylisting, ergonomy, need to remember which email address you used, etc.).
depends what's broken. If it's a key on the keyboard, definitely. If it's the screen, maybe. If its something internal... maybe not.

Why does the AHA even still exist? Anyone who is at all informed about nutrition has long ago stopped listening to their nonsense.

The answer is of course that the AHA exists chiefly to promote the financial interests of the entities that fund them - the processed food industry (i.e. wheat, corn, and soy), and to give their "heart healthy" product marketing campaigns the illusion of scientific/medical legitimacy.
If you could name some of those I would like to try them.

Our test is a shortish take home exercise: implement a simplified version our core business solution (a matching engine).

I judge candidates on:

- choice of abstractions

- quality of the tests

- readability (very important, reading code is x10 harder than writing it)

- knowledge of the language and it's libraries

- correctness of the solution

I penalize candidates for:

- reinventing the wheel (I.e. Roll their own sorting algo)

- overengineering

- unnecessarily convoluted, 'clever' solutions

- premature optimisation
Does "right to repair" have anything to do with "repairability"? There are definitely some things, like iPhones, that might not be possible to build in a repairable way without decreasing the quality of the product. Perhaps Surface is like that, too.
I don't think much legal cost is in research, industry-wide. Most lawyers specialize in one niche and already know all the relevant big cases in their field. More nuanced research isn't all that time consuming really. And a whole big swath of legal work has absolutely nothing to do with researching law, there's a lot more to it. And a huge part of society doesn't need super-experienced lawyers. The under served market needs warm bodies who are qualified to represent clients at some state bar who are willing to work for peanuts. Like, just someone to sit there in a suit and look menacing would help out most of the 'under served.' Large student loans require law school grads to seek the highest paying work possible, thought, so lawyers can't represent poor people.
Curiosity is also a unique tool of science. A business could approach this differently.

A business doing this would drop several hundred of the same machine on mars. If they were semi-autonomous like Curiosity and controlled from earth each one might get a dedicated driver instead of a team of scientists. A command might include placing location markers, flattening the surface between two markers, pick up dust inside a region and filtering it for some material.

The driver would determine what tasks he needed to get done (probably from a jira ticket :( ) then would coordinate with other nearby drivers and even with high latency they could get decent throughput. It might even be that one driver might get several construction machines if the tasks were simple enough. If a machine breaks, the simply move it out of the way until a manned mission.

It might also be that there could be a small team on the surface and a slightly larger team in orbit. The surface team could do maintenance and the team in orbit could control a small army of machines. These people could be rotated around or semi-permanent depending on the details of the work and the economics of this situation.
That is very untrue. In most places in the world (and with most classes of people), the standard is to repair your laptop if it breaks, not buying a new one. Among certain people, and probably within the bias group you and I are coming from, the norm is to replace laptops every 3-4 years, but that is so not the case for a lot of the other groups of people and geography.

The Turkish Delight in "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" was, for me, one of the first and clearest examples of how literature can project, even if unintentionally, a skewed view of a culture that bears little to no resemblance to reality.

I remember a while back having a debate over dinner (and eventually dessert) with friends as to which European country has the best variety and overall quality of desserts. It struck me as funny, and a bit sad, that an American who relied only on popular culture and mainstream media would think the answer to that question was easy: French! Of course!

Having had the opportunity to travel, work, and even live outside the US, I realize now just how wrong that view is! The variety of dessert foods in France pales in comparison to, say, Italy or Austria. Biased as I am, I argued that Turkish dessert cuisine was far above the rest, but of course all most people think of when they think of Turkish desserts is...Turkish Delight! Thanks, C.S.!
