Ask HN: Could Amazon's diversified interests end up backfiring?
Amazon is entering a lot of new spaces that have very large incumbents in some cases. The more spaces they enter, the more likely larger competitors who are on AWS are likely to move away. And AWS is supposed to be its future cash cow.

How do you see this panning out?

I think perhaps a better example would be the bulk shipping industry during November of last year; take a look at DRYS in particular. $5 to $120 in a week, followed immediately by a breakdown right back to $5. (It's split a bunch of times since then, so the adjusted prices on a current chart are different, but what's important to note is the exponential shape of the price action in conjunction with absolutely zero fundamental reasons for a price increase.)
Ale is a top-fermented malt drink. Beer is a fermented malt drink with hops. Lager is bottom-fermented beer (whether or not it's actually lagered).

Absolutely.

As of now, the industry is focusing on the protocols and security layers, and is trying to fix them. I think the next move would be to utilize ROS or something similar to build low powered robot that can maintain an entire home intelligently.

> Put simply, I don't agree (obviously).

Right. That's reasonable. The point of my comment was to express disagreement with something that seems obviously true to you. I'm happy about the decrease in copyleft for its own sake. I dislike copyleft because I dislike intellectual property, on which, copyleft relies upon. (There's no need to debate this further. I've done it many times already.)

> It's just a shame that people are willing to stunt their own languages just to make a point about licensing.

You say "stunt," I say "free." Mischaracterizing this into a group of people indulging in some trivial holy war is absurd.

Others are more practical than me. Languages are permissively licensed to drive adoption. Regardless of the theory of copyleft, and regardless of rationality, people are afraid of it and stay away from it.

How to animate a button like a spring
The core thesis of this work is "that text is an inappropriate way to model structured program code". I think that is wrong, text is a great way to model structured program code.

That doesn't mean that the ways we use text these days for programming couldn't be improved and augmented. For example, the example in Figure 3 is very pretty and readable. But there is no reason why this couldn't be what you see when still editing everything as text. Basically, it could be a more advanced form of syntax highlighting. The reason why this is difficult/impossible to achieve with Java is because of Java's syntax.

Therefore I think when approaching programming from a user interface point of view, it is crucial to also work on a better syntax for the programming language itself. Ideally, work like described in this paper should go hand in hand with work to develop better syntaxes.
That is simply a rewording of the question: is it useful to use continuity to model the world.

Any idea where to find a database of birds? I've been kicking around with the idea of using transfer learning and then a database of bird images to fine tune a classifier to tell people what a bird they take a picture of is (EDIT, similar approach: [0]).

Would help with research. I know some people in finland that had participated in a crowdsourced census of birdlife in their area and thought it could be easier with an app that captures bird images and automatically classifies them (tells the user, I've often wondered what kind of bird something I've seen is) and provides the data to researchers.

I asked a friend of mine who works at a bird life charity if he knew of any data sets, but he didn't.

I don't think I made any such fallacy. I'm simply not convinced by your claim that NN favors competition. In particular, you seem to think Facebook can strike a deal for free with ISPs in a way that a competitor could not. Obviously such a deal is available to both the incumbent and the Challenger, but it's more likely that the incumbent will have the resources to afford it. In this sense, it's merely a matter of resources, and your pro-NN argument could be applied to any industry with a strong incumbent (it's not really about three internet, you just think wealth and success are bad, or something like that anyway). In other words, your argument could be applied to Apple paying for adverts that it's competition couldn't afford.

If you're the investor, and you're just writing a check to a guy who flew in with a startup visa and nothing else, then I, a U.S. Citizen, have quite a few startup ideas I'd like to discuss with you.

To me, that's the entire point. You prove things rigorously so that (among many other reasons) when someone considers trying to square the circle, you can point them to the proof that the circle cannot be squared.

Thank you for taking the time to explain. I had the same question.
I was a Nucor engineer in the early 2010s, and all their rolling mills had them by then. Things had changed a lot since the '90s, though. The old guys talked about having to manually replace the electrodes in the arc furnaces, which has been done with a robot arm since the late '90s or early 2000s.

(For those of you who don't know what this is, each electrode is a graphite column one or two feet in diameter and about 20 feet long. Replacing them took two guys, selected for their resemblance to linebackers, and had to be done multiple times each day.)
While I think it's true we overprotect our kids, this article just goes off the rails with crazy after the first few reasonable paragraphs. As part of it's "proof" that the kids these days are down with authoritarianism, we get:

Since 2000, at least 240 campaigns have been launched
at universities to prevent appearances by public
figures, most of which have occurred since 2009.

So, when student bodies launch protests against authority figures at their campuses, that's authoritarianism. It seems he's confusing "authoritarianism" with "things I disagree with."
Props for the coding discipline. I couldn't even tell how long it has been since I saw C++ as readable as this.

A strong counter-argument would be economy of scale (in education, healthcare, defense...) for example.

But wait, it's a whole goddamn curriculum from IT studies (Bachelor's + Master's), including several kinds of maths, networking, databases, graphics, logic, basic electronics, signal conversion, AI, compiler basics, embedded, and more.

"By my math, Uber’s true value puts it as number four in the global market, behind Didi Chuxing, Waymo, and Tesla, who will become a future competitor should Uber make it to the autonomous future."

Somehow I lost my interest to read further after this phrase. To me the comparison mostly doesn't make sense. I've been Uber customer for couple of years now, and I have to say for some parts Uber, as a service, has tremendously improved my life. These other companies seem to offer quite different products/services or are in whole different markets (Didi is only China AFAIK, while Uber works globally).
I understand this, I guess what I'm trying to get at is that the learning from the article was more than just procedural (I.e how can we make sure this doesn't happen again), and more about the system itself.

> Being able to opt in to GC where it's useful is great, being forced to use it everywhere can be a hassle.

True, but just because a programming has language level GC, it doesn't mean it must be used everywhere.

If one doesn't allocate like crazy on the heap, there is no reason the GC needs to work.

Also using value types is always an option.

One also doesn't call malloc() in such high-performance subsystems.

I don't have a credit card, just a bank account and a prepaid card that I need to fill up manually.

Paypal supports billing to my bank account while Amazon only supports credit cards and debit cards. The act of having to log-in to my bank account (and therefore involving their broken website and having to fetch the physical TOTP token) and fill up my card before being able to purchase something was enough to drive me away from buying stuff from both Amazon and Aliexpress multiple times.

I do realize I'm probably one of very few people to have a problem like that, though.

They mentioned orders (plural) of magnitude difference in cost. Which means it was closer to $37,000/mo previously.

this is only "possible" because etherium has even less real value than btc.

etherium exists for the sole purpose of playing investing with btc. everyone I know who owns etherium bought after they decided to buy btc and got a price hike on their investment so they flip btc and etherium instead of btc and usd. because they see it as two things that ever goes up. ha.

Hops weren't even found in beer until the 9th century. Beer has existed longer before hops were introduced than since.
