Npm has had github integration for a while now (and straight git integration). Depending on how they setup things, a repo with a good postinstall script will build once it gets pulled so you'll have ES5 compatible files in your node_modules by the time you are running your application.

Not that that's an ideal system, but it's an option for some packages.
I would actually love to move to South America or Mexico for a job at a startup.

However, it's probably a generational thing. I'm young and don't have roots in any particular area. Working on a different continent sounds like a wonderful adventure.

And it was rejected, wasn't it?
Wouldn't these guys get enough low rankings because of that to be kicked off the platform?
Per-serving isn't standard between items though. The FDA requirements are broad enough that companies can make up their own serving sizes, and one company could consider a 12oz can one serving, and the other two.

If the two-serving brand is also advertised as low sodium and consumers don't notice that the serving size is half as big, that's gonna seem to be much lower sodium than it really is.
From a consumer point of view, this is a good thing. It sucks to have a different experience depending on whether something ships from Amazon or a third party, especially as their easy return policy is one of the main reasons I continue to use Amazon and pay for Prime.

I can understand sellers frustration, but to my mind that's the price of having your products featured on Amazon. I've never encountered a third party who has refused a refund, so in reality I don't know if that much will change for them, unless there's a huge amount of abuse of the returnless refunds.
With withdrawal limits being what they are, this is easier said than done for a lot of users, I'd guess.
He does cite some evidence for his fears. Of course, what he fears is based on speculation to where he sees technology taking us in the future, but that's also true of, for example, Musk's and Hawking's fears of AI, and of many other works, or works like Brave New World.
I don't see the point: it seems like the company you're at is more or less putting the infrastructure cost (rent, internet) on its employees and otherwise treating them as though they ought to be working as if on-premises in a "butts in the seat" style.
I do understand where sellers are coming from, but as a buyer, this would be a better relationship between them and myself. As is, I typically always prefer/only buy things sold or fulfilled by Amazon, because of this reason. This move would give me more confidence to begin more often considering third party vendors.
nspawn uses btrfs snapshotting natively for its templating and no other FS (ZFS was explicitly rejected by Mr. Poettering because "it's not in the kernel") so yeah either they are going to have to do something about this or there will be a significant step down in functionality for nspawn. I can't see how this isn't really bad news for nspawn.

I guess one option is to pull btrfs tree into Systemd :-)
Funny thing is the cost of self hosting and self distribution is probably more than paying $5/mo to sound cloud

Yes. That's my point. If truly we are facing human extinction, shouldn't we ban even EV/hybrids?

You would think all these alarmists claiming end of the world wouldn't be driving ANYTHING.
Of cuz, Google open sourced a container runtime before in c++, and no one cared.
Thanks for checking it out! I actually am the sort of person that runs a pi-hole at home on a pi, but I wanted my family's devices to be blocking ads also when we left the house, and I found it a pain to always be asking to install extensions on each of the browsers on each of the computers, so a cloud offering let me manage it in one place (after setting up the DNS). I figured I was not alone as a hacker/tinkerer with a family and though others might benefit.
Why would Uber do anything about it? Its in Uber's interests to not solve it. They get more money no? Same with its competitor in India, Ola.
Betting that this headline would be here today would have been a smarter investment than, well, anything really.
PIA took over freenode? That's really bizarre and worrysome. I had not heard this, and was somehow under the impression that freenode must have been run by a non-profit foundation, not a for-profit entity.
I'm not the most networking-literate person. How does this work? In the case PiHole you set your router force all of the devices on the network to go through the Pi, correct? So for this service you'd be routing all of your internet traffic through a remote server run by a company you know very little about? That feels sketchy to me, but again it might just be due to ignorance or misunderstanding.

Also, to anyone who has used PiHole - what do you do when a news site bugs you about using an ad blocker? What's the equivalent of "open up your other browser to access the page"?

Side note: why are people flagging this? Seems like a normal "Show HN"-type of post to me, but I'm not always savvy to the etiquette here.
So what is the process? That's the crux of this question.
Is JFS still a thing in the Linux world? I remember using it for some partitions not because it was particularly high performant, but because it was supposed to have very few worst case scenarios…
I've been using the latest Garmin Forerunner 935 for a couple months and so far it's been reliable. We'll see how long it lasts. But realistically I think we're going to have to consider wearable devices as disposable after a few years.
I'm sorry, but I can't disagree with you more. Your decision to make this an "us vs them" issue seems to be clouding your judgment on who should be able to speak their mind, and who shouldn't. There is a huge amount of hypocrisy here, and if you can't see it, then I'm not sure I can help you.
This is a pretty shitty thing to do. When Rutgers let in too many students a whole back, they converted a bunch of common areas to makeshift dorms and put up those who still didn't fit in hotels.

But in all seriousness... as a consumer, I shop on Amazon to not think twice about having to deal much with returns, shipping, etc.

I understand that this is probably painful for a lot of people who built up businesses on the Amazon platform, but this is something that also seems pretty obvious.
Not on a global scale. The elites control national/regional.

China controls theirs. Russia controls their. EU theirs. We control ours.

That isn't global.
And yet, the consumers have still all lost.
There are many great BitTorrent clients out there, yet I've made my own and willing to share and attract collaborators!
I don't really follow these cryptocurrencies very closely.

I assume that Coinbase is sitting on keys/wallets that own Bitcoin belonging to their customers, which would mean that they are now also sitting on keys/wallets that own Bitcoin Cash. So could Coinbase short (some of) that Bitcoin Cash by selling it on other exchanges?

I read this statement from Coinbase: "If this decision were to change in the future and Coinbase was to access Bitcoin Cash, we would distribute Bitcoin Cash to customers associated with Bitcoin balances at the time of the fork." So as long as Coinbase bought back enough Bitcoin Cash to distribute it to customers at time-of-fork-value, they would be true to their word.

Or is there something that prevents Coinbase from even accessing the Bitcoin Cash associated with Bitcoin it is holding?

Edit: I'm not trying to make any judgments here, I don't know enough. Just trying to understand.
So write a bot to stay online all day? lol
Phew thank god. Next they need a robust anti fraud department in their marketplace.
That was completely uncalled for.
So for those people they can use a light client or run a node online. What is their benefit to running a full node?

Not to mention, if Bitcoin becomes a settlement layer then no one can run a full node since most transactions will be off chain. Plus the enjoyment of running a full node is greatly reduced if you're just seeing settlement data between large payment systems.

Certainly this isn't your best response to contribute to this conversation?
> Additionally, Amazon said that it's introducing "returnless refunds," a feature that the company said is "highly requested by sellers." The change enables sellers to offer a refund without taking back an item that may be expensive to ship and hard to resell.

Wow, I can literally just say "I don't like it", and there's a chance they'll literally just give me my money back, but let me keep it?
No, that hasn't really become necessary yet. We'll see once we do a house remodel. :)
Here's a question I'm trying to understand: if I intend to travel while working, where do I say I'm "from"? How do taxes work? Suppose that I have an apartment in some country, not necessarily my country of citizenship, and I will sublet it while I travel.

I suppose, to freelance, one needs to create a "company", but where is that company based? Does it need to have an address?

If I am a citizen of one country, a resident of another, but I'm working while I travel in _other_ countries, where do I owe taxes?

These are the roadblocks I find most complicated, beyond just "finding the job", I don't know how the legal "infrastructure" should work when you are freelancing and in such an odd living situation.

I tried to be transparent about pricing, and the free trial lasts an entire day before resetting to make sure you are comfortable setting it up before purchasing. You are getting a dedicated VPS with every plan, no sharing. So the price includes the overhead there.

How do you make sure your pi-hole instance is only used by the rightful user? After all you can't restrict port 53, and I am sure iptables are not an option here since you don't know from where the users will be connecting?
If you are importing it:

>Imports of tea, coffee, and spices are subject to review by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and their admissibility is determined by the FDA.

So it would still have to go through the FDA. It may not be as stringent as something like meat but it still has to get approval.

Also, you don't need to be a distributor to fall under this, you just need to be importing it for commercial use. That means if you are buying a box to sell or just the leaves to sell, both would fall under these rules.
> But increasingly, those upgrades come at the expense of sellers, who often build their businesses on Amazon and have few other places to generate revenue.

That's a huge risk that's been known from the beginning, though. I feel for these sellers, but building a business that's 100% dependent on a 3rd party (especially one like Amazon that you're also in competition with to some extent) seems like a poor situation to place yourself in.
Theranos Low on Cash After Settlement with Walgreens
They're explaining the technology they're using, which makes it sound like they don't know who they're marketing to. The average person isn't going to care about the stack, and the people who do care might not see the point in paying the price of a Raspberry Pi every month to run a Raspberry Pi.

Then again, if it saves a lot of people just a little bit of trouble, there's a lot of potential there. There's a lot of services that are like "dude I could have made that in a week!" but humans are lazy, and developers seem to be especially lazy, and many will happily pay for a pre-configured / hosted solution that "just works". :)
The impact varies greatly by item. Things that are big and expensive to ship. Items that require some skill or patience to use. Items that can't be sold once again once returned. Items that people might use once, so it becomes a free rental.

Depends on what you are hosting.

A text-based site like reddit is almost nothing to host. All of the data is stored as strings, and only references media hosted elsewhere.

HQ Video and Audio files are still expensive to host. Not even just hosting, but bandwidth can be killer. Look at S3 bandwidth costs.

Uber, Lyft Face Setback in Push to Block Seattle Union Effort
I admit that “supply and demand” is not the cause of the housing crisis. It merely explains the high price of housing (with minor contributions from a bunch of other factors[0][1]). I feel that supply and demand is most useful as an intuitive appeal to balance: There is way more demand than supply,[2] of course we suffer from a shortage. The cause of the crisis is the array of regulations against homebuilding, that caused the shortage.

As you say, developers build in times of increasing demand, yet there hasn’t been a real building boom since the early 1990s.[3] In a normal situation, increasing prosperity would bring both jobs and homes to an area. Here, we have the jobs but not the homes.[4]

The developers intimately know how price is caused by supply and demand, and do not build unless they are reasonably certain that they can make a profit. They avoid causing gluts. The problem here is that California has some of the most misguided regulations,[5][6] and municipalities some of the worst processes,[7][8] that prevent housing from being affordable to build.[9] Developers can’t be certain to make back their investment when housing is not in crisis, and we need to fix this.

Like sea urchins in a kelp desert,[10] mega-developers with large projects are not the core issue. Mega-developers work best when trampling over pristine wilderness. We need to build inside cities.[11] The core issue is that we collectively do not have the imagination to enable thousands of small-time landowners to undercut the mega-developers with naturally affordable housing.[12] Zoning makes it illegal,[13] and government process makes it impractical, for ordinary non-developer people to build around here.

The Republican mantra is that “Government is the problem.” But at the local level, the government is the people, or a funhouse subset of them. The policies that create the housing crisis enjoy bipartisan support. My support for the YIMBY Party[14] is not about supply and demand. It’s about creating a political demographic for getting people into humane homes.

Price hacking is the new growth hacking, these drivers are truly disrupting a regulatory regime that limits their freedom.
I think it'd be hard to actually quantify the impact. Chicago's also constantly under construction, the downtown area has had major bus route redesigns with the "JUMP" routes, and that's caused a lot of congestion too.

I'm not really familiar with new york's streets, but ours have been over capacity forever and now with uber/lyft there's a lot more single passenger car traffic in the business areas. Much more so than cabs, because getting them is much more convenient than cabs ever were here - calling a cab in chicago is a joke, honestly, and if you weren't in an area they pass by frequently you were out of luck. I feel like more people choose the uber option for short trips that would have been transit in the past. The convenience of it is the model, after all.
It's irrelevant if Coinbase supports trading of the coin. What they should do is allow the customers to withdraw their Bitcoin Cash coins.

What other cryptocurrencies have been forked of another coin gaining such a large value, placing the exchanges in the same spot?

I can think of only one: Ethereum and Ethereum Classic. The same thing happened there. Coinbase was forced to allow the customers to withdraw their Ethereum Classic coins.

> Again, where do they draw the line?

If a forking chain survives and gains a significant share they should allow withdrawal of their coins. Not keep them, as they are doing now.
When we were doing a colo migration for a Yahoo! Property I worked for 12 years ago it was cheaper and faster for us to backup to tape, FedEx the tapes, restore from tape, and then use the Internet to sync up the changes from in between rather than using the Internet for the whole transfer.

I don't think 6 months is a typical developer job search, and that has nothing to do with being picky.

Almost everyone worth working for is hiring constantly. Hence it's relatively straightforward to run a bunch of interview processes in parallel while still being quite picky about the offer you accept. In most cases, it's highly unlikely that a better option will materialize with additional time (in 99% of cases, it would have existed when you started).
You can already do that on some things sold by amazon. Not that I've tried to but I've had more cases of amazon just telling me to keep things, especially if they took too long to deliver.
> Fluoride lowers IQ in children an average of 15 points, per Harvard meta-analysis.

No. Aside from the fact that meta-analyses are primarily a means of identifying areas for direct research because they have a strong tendency to magnify publication bias (among other problems), that's not what the cited piece concludes. Your own quote shows that the conclusion is much weaker, noting that the meta-analysis “found strong indications that fluoride may adversely affect cognitive development in children.”

Finding strong indications that it has a possibility (“may” ≠ “does”) of causing some adverse reaction is not the same as concluding that it does have any adverse impact, and even farther from any particular quantification of that impact. And the actual average result (which isn't a study conclusion on the actual impact) was 7, not 15 IQ points for “high flouride content”; to quote your source: “The average loss in IQ was reported as a standardized weighted mean difference of 0.45, which would be approximately equivalent to seven IQ points for commonly used IQ scores with a standard deviation of 15.”
Anecdotally, they do it for stuff like pillows already, especially cheap ones - it's hard to resell, so they'll eat the cost.
Probably some kind of reputation system prevents this from happening all the time.

That almost makes it worse, it keeps the ratio of brand new drivers high. There's only so many people who know the city and want to drive for Uber, and they're outnumbered by those who don't know the city and want to drive.
I'm on remote job #4 right now. Here's how I got each.

Job 1: Referred by a friend who worked for the company. She joined the company about 5 years prior, after being cold-emailed by an internal recruiter.

Job 2: Friend referral. I met the friend by way of a local developer meetup and we got to know each other over the course of a couple years. My friend was referred into the company by a friend of his, who had moved out of town to take a job with this company.

Job 3: Internet referral. I'm on a developer slack community and the position was posted there.

Job 4/Current one: A mishmash. People on the team knew me from developer conferences and a couple meetups in NYC (job #3 was based in NYC as well, and I would attend meetups when visiting the office). One or two of the people were also on that slack. My resume was ultimately brought in, however, by a local friend of mine. He got the job in a similar manner as the friend in job #2; a local friend of his moved to NYC to join the company.
