Agreed. In addition to judicial decisions, Obama's NLRB has issued several common-sense and worked-friendly decisions over the past several years. The Republican member(s), which were a minority but soon will be the majority, always dissent, using tortured "logic" to justify a position that is inevitably biased towards the employer. When NLRB decisions voted upon party lines are reviewed in court, they have a higher chance of being upheld by Democrat-appointed judges.

The Republican members are there to represent management.

Ask HN: Is it OK to post on HN references to articles which require subscription?
I personally find it very annoying when someone posts a reference to an article which requires a subscription in order to be able to read it. A typical example is https://www.wsj.com
It's great that some subscribe to WSJ, I would imagine that the majority does not. Should HN guidelines include a suggestion to only post references to articles that can be opened without registering?

When searching for a business to buy, make sure you do your due diligence. There's a lot of junk out there and many "brokers" just make up their numbers/claimed legitimacy to win business. Once you've got past that, you then need to do due diligence on the business itself.

Passive businesses are not impossible to find, but it does depend on your definition. You can't buy any business and do absolutely nothing (truly "passive"). Even something low maintenance will require 1 hour a week, especially if you want it to last for years. Expect to pay a premium for businesses like this but be very cautious around claims from a seller. Number of hours worked is the easiest to misrepresent (and the hardest to prove). Almost every seller claims to work "2 hours a day" but IRL I've never met a business owner who works less than 10 a day :)

To answer your question directly, don't just look at marketplaces, check out brokers and advisors too. If you're upfront with what you're looking for and budget, most will send you options that are a good fit.

Good luck with your search!

No man, its not going to give you genuine diversity. It's going to give you a bunch of people who score well in classes and according to standards that the standard creators determined. The standards are often blind to the cultural nuances of the questions themselves and often reward those who belong to the normative culture. It's the same problem with IQ tests. I don't want the people in college to be all the people who scored top of their class in AP history and AP econ, I want to also see the kids who struggled through the extreme boredom of those classes while having underground poetry meetings after school or having other interests other than those rewarded by the schoolastic institution.
For example, some kinds of HSM bugs might conceivably lead to issuing a new intermediate after an HSM software update (like if an HSM vendor said that it had concluded that its CSPRNG was seeded inadequately with fewer effective bits of entropy than the specifications required, or something).

In support of being cautious about predicting what intermediate will be used for issuance at a given time, there was also once a Let's Encrypt Authority X2 (also browser-trusted by virtue of being signed by IdenTrust's root), but issuance skipped directly from the X1 to the X3 intermediate in March 2016.

After so many reports of fake items on Amazon, I wonder where this is going. Fake food?
Thanks. We moved comments there.

An unusually hard call though. The current post was a bit earlier, but has an autoplay video and was lower on the front page. The other post is a bit later but has a paywall and conflict-of-interest issues. Which would annoy HN more? I'm guessing autoplay.
Given the source as posted, probably.
The part of the article that says, "Daniel Mansfield, of the university’s school of mathematics and statistics, described the tablet which may unlock some of their methods as 'a fascinating mathematical work that demonstrates undoubted genius' – with potential modern application because the base 60 used in calculations by the Babylonians permitted many more accurate fractions than the contemporary base 10" seems to be the basis for that subheadline. But that's ridiculous and shows that the editors of the article (not the quoted scholar, necessarily) are innumerate. (Common, whether proper or improper) fractions written in any numerical base are equally accurate--fractions are exact real numbers. Approximations of a fraction in a place-value notation can be made as accurate as needed with sufficient expressed place values, and since 500 years ago, the Western world has been able to write decimal numerals for rational numbers to any desired degree of accuracy.

Sure in some cases people have risked money to start a business, or it's been built around a new idea or patent etc, and that should give the owners a disproportionate share of the company value/profits.

But not all of them.

The companies get built by all their people, not just owners, and the value of the company pretty much represents (albeit very indirectly) the difference between what those people have created, and what they've been paid.

The right thing can be architectural choices in the macro and micro architecture of software that support qualities like stability, security, extensibility, interoperability and some other -bilities.

From what I experience is that many engineers don't take or don't have the time to think details through that are hard to change, later. I find functional languages to be less forgiving to bad design choices. So that's why I assume that functional languages have a smaller audience.

Of course, what's right is an abstract concept. But when you see bad software, you will know it. If a company can sell bad software, they may be "right", but they also build on risks that counter that view.

Edit: Btw. I don't expect software design to be 100% perfect, as long as the output is 100% correct. But every good design decision helps to build good stuff.

> My guess is that Amazon took one look at the books and saw that they could easily lower prices without suffering much in the way of profit loss.

Well, I hope you're right, but I think you're wrong. Here's why:

Amazon wants to dominate the world of retail, and Whole Foods currently targets a specific and smaller demographic than "The World". Amazon needs to expand the demographic to reach everyone else. The way they do that is by removing most of the expensive things Whole Foods carries, and replacing them with cheap, less ethical alternatives.

This means we'll eventually lose a lot of the things Whole Foods carries. For a lot of vegan and ethical suppliers, Whole Foods is the vast majority of their sales, and they'll just be shut down.
Boycotts only work for goods with fixed demand. The stock market is designed to be maximally responsive. You can't boycott a stock for moral reasons; you're effectively just donating money to people with no moral qualms.

You have to realize that the stock market is an engine for predicting profit. If you're boycotting something for reasons that are not represented in profit, then all you're doing is turning yourself into the sort of damage that the stock market is best at routing around. The only way to punish companies is to impact their bottom line, and boycotting their stock does not have that effect unless you control enough of the market that the rest can't pick up the slack, and if you don't have that influence then the effect will be negligible.

If, as they say, the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, then certainly the market can stay rational longer than you can stay obstinate.
Whole Foods has a gross margin around 35%

Re: gearbox, I wonder whether an autonomous truck could be paired with a little scouting drone to "look ahead" at things like blind corners or stop-and-go traffic, to allow the truck enough foreknowledge to gear up and down more gradually.
Agreed. Whole Foods' reputation is a high-end one. If quality drops or the typical assortment of goods becomes more like a lower-end chain, then I'll likely lose any reason to go.

Really? If anything I'd have said it was the other way round. Humans get jailed for negligently killing other humans with vehicles, and they sometimes get jailed or banned from driving for negligently driving in a way that might have endangered another human. On the other hand, the prevailing opinion in this thread seems to be that whilst it's entirely appropriate to punish bad driving by humans, similarly egregious errors made by software should be tolerated provided their average accident rate is lower than the humans'

What would be their basis for preventing the sale when Amazon controls 0.19% of the U.S grocery market and Whole Foods controls 1.21%?
"Correct?" I'm sure any numbers in it are accurate. But these stories are essentially press releases.

> “The two companies will together pursue the vision of making Whole Foods Market’s high-quality, natural and organic food affordable for everyone,” they said in a joint statement. “Whole Foods Market will offer lower prices starting Monday on a selection of best-selling grocery staples across its stores, with more to come.”

Some hard-hitting journalism here, especially considering the first thing Amazon is doing is leveraging their juggernaut status to lower prices and undercut competitors. Sure, we'll see "blistering competition" now, but when these other businesses falter and only Amazon is left standing, there won't be any news stories trumpeting the fact. Amazon is being particularly serious about PR on thsi one since they've gone so deep into anti-trust territory, and because they know that the false signifier of price that has been used in anti-trust cases for the last few decades is their shield against claims that they're a monopoly.
> I don't understand the distinction.

The distinction was that cdnsteve was motivated to switch to Python due to issues with the toolchain and build system, not that JavaScript was weakly-typed.

> JavaScript tooling is notoriously complicated on the front-end, not the back-end. And I doubt they're saying that they switched to Python on the front-end.

You have a good point, though you still have to pull in dependencies and deal with NPM when running JS on the server-side (especially if the server is doing non-trivial stuff). Idk, maybe an approach with server-side rendering using Python did away with much of the JS usage which made things nicer.
Does anyone know of compile-time benchmarks spanning 1.4 through 1.9, along the lines of [1]?

I see there's (more) parallel compilation in 1.9 - so that should improve elapsed time (but not reduce cpu time) of compilation.

Unless they've got logistics so tight that their delivery cost is less than the grocers doing themselves, I don't see this working for Instacart.

The margins for groceries are already paper thin. Consumers have no appetite for delivery fees so vertical integration and proper logistics is key.

Only path I see for them is getting acquired by a major grocer purely for the platform. That grocer would become the first party integrator. I don't see that happening though as it'd be cheaper for them to do it from scratch in house.

> This is just blind scientism of the worst kind

No, it's an inference drawn form imperfect information, which is the bedrock of policy-making and civilized life in general. Screens have been around for decades now. They have been the subject of significant study in different contexts. The average American has watched more than four hours of TV per day for more than thirty years. An entire generation was raised in front of the TV. If there was a major first order effect from "screen time," we'd know about it by now.
I agree, but it's really difficult to draw the line.

I believe Auto transmission (AT) car drivers are more easily distracted than those driving stick shift or manual transmission (MT)).

But AT makes life easy for so many people, that no one even considers if AT is making drivers less attentive.

A classic example of this, the worst case scenario I have seen in person, is that of a woman talking on a mobile phone in one hand while switching lanes and taking a left turn at a traffic signal. Things like this just wouldn't be possible if that woman was driving a stick shift.

In that driver's case, probably a Tesla like Level 3-5 driving system would be ideal, making it much safer for drivers around.

So, should we go back to MT for everyone or nothing? Just to be under the impression that it's much safer? Or should every vehicle be a level 3 to level 5 autonomous vehicle?

I think people choosing any of the above options will have valid points and research to prove their points. Only time will tell when and how any of those research results continue to hold true.
And the remedy for a conflict-of-interest is disclosure, which is done as early the second paragraph.

Also for the longest time we weren't allowed to watch TV, however in later years of my childhood this rule was relaxed. Of course it was never in the room we ate in, that would be terrible although I know many families are in front of the TV).
Isn't Flex the newer of the platforms? Is there a reason why it's so slow to deploy? I deployed an app via it that deploys in a couple of minutes anywhere else, including build time, but it took an insane amount of time on GAE, and I never managed to find a good reason why.

Normally I'd think I had configured something wrong, except in this case it was insanely simple. A network label that allows all ports both ingress and egress, to any destination/source, definitely applied to the servers, and yet they had constant connection issues with each other.

It probably was something I did, but the combination of those issues, surprise egress bills, very laggy UI, and various other little niggles just made it not worth my time for now. I'm keen to avoid vendor lock-in anyway, so GCP and AWS don't have that many extra features over smaller providers for me.
The 2018 model year (I believe) has full stop-and-go support. The previous two model years would cut out somewhere around 25 mph (this is what I have). It really is only for freeway driving outside of heavy traffic. I've used a 2018 CRV that has stop-and-go support and it's quite nice.

The lane tracking isn't that great, but I don't mind it that much. I don't use it much for normal driving, but I found it it's pretty fantastic in heavy crosswinds. The car does a pretty good job of keeping the lanes (assuming you can see them well enough) so you basically drive like normal instead of having to constantly fight wind gusts.

Under normal conditions it doesn't do enough to be terribly useful and less you're not paying enough attention… at which point you shouldn't be using it anyway.
