I had a similar experience with a bug in a SaaS product that integrated with bank websites. They would send us the user ID and we would use that to determine whose account to log them into on redirect (and create a new account for the user if we hadn't seen the ID before).

At some point it became clear that they ignored leading zeroes during login on their end, but still included those leading zeroes when they sent it over to us, so we had a number of duplicate accounts. I purged the duplicate accounts (delete the newest, strip the leading 0s off the oldest) at the same time that they changed their code to send over the truncated number. All went perfectly, except apparently a few spouses were upset that they could no longer use their secondary account.
There's not that much more detail, but a University of Waterloo article on them (https://smbp.uwaterloo.ca/2017/03/instant-pot-climbs-the-soc...) describes the name of the tactic described above: influencer marketing. It's interesting that they align the fact that cooking is often a social phenomenon, with the fact that influencer marketing seemed to work well for Instant Pot.

I gather from some of the articles linked (http://refineandfocus.com/when-brand-communities-become-cult... and https://www.ctvnews.ca/lifestyle/from-ottawa-to-world-domina...) that unlike other past influencer marketed products, Instant Pot largely utilized Internet space: big platform social media word-of-mouth to achieve their affects. Given that Internet social media space is growing, I would expect more of these type of marketing stories in the future.

Some of it's probably the product for sure. If I remember right, rice cookers like the Zojirushi models had pretty much everything Instant Pot has, except the pressure cooking part. But that's a pretty big "except", given the dodgy past of traditional stove-top pressure cookers.

Potentially, although do remember that card processing fees are rather high for small businesses, and every transaction that they don’t have to lose 3% or 5% of or whatever is extra money they can keep.
How do you account for Bitcoin’s volatility in your accounting? I think this is one of my biggest critiques about using bitcoin as a payment method - I am much less certain about how many dollars I am receiving (At scale people can and will abuse this).
For me, using a GUI makes it much less likely I'll commit the wrong changes as I can quickly review each staged file across the entire tree before committing, and also see if there are unstaged changes (including new files which was often the bane of an SVN workflow) which need to be included.

I typically use git gui to commit changes, the cli for other operations, and occasionally source tree to visualize branches and compare with remote repos.
> completly loose commited data

Except the whole point is that you can't completely lose commited data, even if you tried really hard. And the solution to the problem was `git reflog` which shows the history of the HEAD.
In the US, employees must still be paid minimum wage. Depending on the state, an employer may count tips toward this amount. If an employee reports $0 in tips, the employer must pay them $7.25/hr. While I would like to believe that what you say is true, I find it hard to be true.

I think the bigger issues are at play whether it's is the fact that minimum wages need to be adjusted, a more modern solution is needed to replace minimum wages, whether a job in question is simply suitable for a human to perform (in this case a doorman, they don't really have them where I live so I don't know their purpose), or maybe children (even adults) need to be taught better money management skills.

I personally think that an area for quick improvement would be helping folks with managing their money. Anecdotally, I know people who haven't paid more than the minimum on student loans because they that they will automatically be forgiven in 20 years. On a $40k loan, they have easily squandered away a down payment on a house or money they could have otherwise put in their 401k.
I too believe the `$15 and a union` slogan.

These network devices (middleboxes) can do that only if the client lets it. As you just said, once the client is compromised, all bets are off. HTTPS by design protects against a compromised network, not against a compromised client.
Wow, major disaster. This was the first day they were running a new route, slightly higher speed Amtrak between Seattle to Portland. You just don't see accidents like this very often, multiple train cars left the track, fell onto the freeway - US I5, with multiple fatalities.
Things are different in America - restaurants get a special exemption under labor law [1] that allows them to pay wait staff about 25% of the minimum wage required for all other professions. The social understanding is that patrons are obligated to make up the difference via tips - you have to pay to use their services.

The system sucks but that's how it is, if you don't want to tip then you can always eat at McDonalds or other establishments without wait staff.

Sounds similar to how amateur radio systems are used by people in rural places, or Fidonet, or other hacked together solutions to common problems. Ultimately these seem to be stopgap measures that are replaced by utilities in the long run.
> Your hypothesis doesn't explain the data any better than mine.

My "hypothesis" is that without trying to eliminate the cultural factors, we'll never be able to actually measure how strongly the alleged biological factors affect behavior. So no, my hypothesis doesn't explain anything, because it doesn't try to.

> And our culture has changed a hell of a lot.

Our academic scientific culture is barely 200 years old. Female participation in academic culture is way younger than that, with most of the earlier examples (like Marie Curie) being known as "weirdos" in their time because they didn't behave like "normal women". Our current cultural system is thousands of years old, yet you expect that the last 100 years of science to have fixed all disparities accrued over millennia. Doesn't sound very realistic.

> Why is it so implausible to you that it's biology?

Why is it implausible to you that it is culture, when there are reams of data showing that different cultures perform differently? You are cherrypicking data that supports your thesis and completely ignoring everything else. Why?

Notice that even the paper you link is hedging when making the claim: "In contrast, gender differences in interests appear to be consistent across cultures and over time, a finding that suggests possible biologic influences." But you, somehow, are 100% sure. Weird. Makes me think you have an agenda first, and look for evidence to back it up second, just like Damore did.

Serious question here: Have you ever worked in any form of US gov't?

If not, I'd suggest that you block out some time to do so. You might find the experience to be illuminating.

Whether it be local, state, or federal government, it all works pretty much the same way. And none of it, despite peoples' cries, is functioning outside of how it was designed to.
While that's all true, I'm still specifically thinking of cases where money is being utilized to purchase beneficial arrangements. It's just that a lot of those dollars are being spent on things not found in retail stores, to acquire influence in ways beyond campaign contributions. So only looking at campaign contributions vastly underestimates the "price" of a politician.
Maybe we should keep cash and stop trying to kill it? So many think there is no value to a physical, untraceable, my-transaction-is-not-necessarily-logged money, so sad :/
Not to mention that you really need to focus on securing the endpoint anyway because an increasing number of your devices are mobile and aren't "home" an increasing amount of time anyway. The period of central router/gateway/NAT management made the most sense was when the majority of your home were desktops fixed in their locations in the same rooms. In a world of a majority of laptops and hand computers, worrying about the strength of your home router/gateway/NAT is increasingly silly, as those devices may spend as much time or more at your work, or the coffee shop down the street, as they do at "home".
Tipping is part of Uber now? That was what I liked about it! Did they at least lower the base rate to compensate?

My Fissler pressure cooker recommends forced cooling under a stream of water for precise control of cooking time, as an alternative to venting steam through the valve, to prevent loss of flavor.
In most of these industries, the "fair wage" is actually less than tips. Or at least they used to be. Ending tipping will hurt them overall.

Just think about how a great a deal tips are for waiters. 10-20% of gross revenue is huge.
Economists often understate the value (especially to government and powerful connected folks) of stability and control while focusing on things like "massive number of people with objectively worse maps."

As a consequence, the Internet has allowed intermediate

too large to remove without killing the host. The technical
flaw that favored intermediate computers prefigured a world
where middlemen business models thrive.

The handwave is the word "prefigure". How did IPv4 and NAT play any role in the dominance of Facebook, Airbnb et cetera? This is an analogy masquerading as an argument.

It is not fundamentally necessary to have any intermediate

friends, rents an apartment from a stranger, or orders a

The author provides no evidence that the services of Airbnb, Uber etc. have no value added. These companies carefully designed interfaces to help us find what we need. If they did not add value, we would still be using newsgroups.

> That's because people write shitty makefiles.

Which, coincidentally, is my main complaint with Make: It's way too easy to write shitty Makefiles. There are way too many wrong ways to do things. Arguably this is a community problem and not a tool problem, but it doesn't change the fact that most Makefiles are written badly.

I used Make professionally for 5 years and have since moved to other tech stacks that don't require Make but have tools that are far worse in every other way (cough Ant cough). But IMO the reason they win out is they are far less flexible, so there are fewer ways to do things, so they work better in aggregate.

Build tooling is something that most devs look at very rarely, so they never build expertise. Ergo, build tooling shouldn't require expertise.

If my theory holds out, I feel Gradle will become the new Make in a few years or a decade - very powerful but too many wrong ways to do things.
Would you mind sharing the name of the restaurant?

That's on the business. I used to be a cashier, and during power outages, we had an old carbon copier that we could use to copy credit cards and note the amount, and then enter it in manually later. You lose the instant approve/deny, but we'd also copy ids.

John Siracusa (the guy who used to do those OS X reviews) advocates for not using a TWM. He famously tried, and failed, to convince his podcasting co-hosts of the efficacy of his system in “The Windows of Siracusa County”: http://atp.fm/episodes/96. I get the sense that his system is mostly a collection of habits, tricks and muscle memory he has built up over the years, which I guess it would have to be.

Personally I don’t get it and I don’t see how one can survive beyond a certain screen size without a TWM, but it works for him.
What about doormen buildings? Why tip them in December individually? The Board should just pay them each a bonus. The unit owners pay regardless.

On the contrary, I have more variety than ever.

I keep telling myself to try recipes, but when you buy everything in season, every week I'm getting new ingredients with new flavors, textures, and so on. There's huge variety. I look forward to seeing what new tastes and flavors I'll find this week.

The stew I'm eating for lunch now has Lima beans, Brussels sprouts, kale, carrots, squash, onion, jalepeno, and a few other vegetables.

In August it would have had eggplant, broccoli, red peppers, and a mix of dozens of other vegetables.

In June it would have had spring vegetables.

In February it will have parsnips, beets, cabbage, and so on.

The legumes in my cupboard include Lima beans, split peas, and lentils, and some red/white striped bean from my CSA. In the past month I've used kidney beans, adzuki, pinto, northern, and I forget what other kinds.

(I should mention, I eat other things too -- oatmeal with fruit and nuts for breakfast, lots of fruit, nuts, uncooked vegetables, etc.)

If you work the combinatorics of one legume plus, say, three or four vegetables/mushrooms, nuts and other toppings, there's more variety than I'll exhaust in my lifetime.

I've never eaten this much variety.

That said, I've been meaning to make a Thai dish. I keep telling myself to try, but I keep enjoying what local farms provide.

I think Magit could be classified as a TUI [1].

So I just ran across this one:
git diff --staged

I added a file and wanted to diff it, and this command helped! However, I made some changes in the file, and when I tried this command a second time, the changes don't show up :\ Only the original file that was added shows up in the diff. Now what? It's not the end of the world of course, as I can just look at the file in my editor, but I usually use diffs as a personal code-review before I commit.
Some of them even had the mains wired directly into the case, so you couldn't unplug without an ax.
left-pad only adds 7ms on edge, seems worth it.
On the other hand, Jquery adds almost a second. And you hardly ever see pages that don't use it. (Unless they use some other heavy js library). But it's just soo convenient.

>> Isn't an introvert saying they wish they were an extrovert (for example) really just shorthand for wanting it to be easy to interact and socialize, as they imagine it is for extroverts.

Introversion vs extroversion isn't really defined (as I understand it) by your social skills or even your desire to be around people. It's based on where one derives their mental energy. Introverts can socialize but it is mentally taxing and they need alone time to recharge. For extroverts interacting with people is exhilarating and kind of is their way to recharge. In this light, you may be able to change a persons ability to socialize but not so much the effect it has on them. I don't think these are entirely separate either If you're not good at it it's got to be more taxing, but then perhaps ability and self perception are not the same thing!

Additionally you can always use the command line if you need to. I use a GUI for 99% of what I do, then use the CLI for what I need it for.
Seems like there are two possibilities: engine noise is causing windows to vibrate making a sensor go off or the reverse distance sensor that uses microwave radar (X band) is causing the base unit to think a sensor is going off. It is a WRX (lots of rumbling engine noise) so I would imagine that the first scenario is more likely. A home alarm system is most likely going to be 433MHz (or even the wifi/bluetooth bands) but not X band.
That $1 trillion number is retail banking only. It's a small factor in the scope of what I'm talking about.
Last year a co-worker frantically came over to tell me that text was disappearing from her computer screen. I walked over to her desk and watched as she began to type an email. Sure enough, the characters she entered went away one at a time. I glanced down at the desk and gently lifted a headset that was resting on the "delete" key of the keyboard.
But what was the original plan? Was it to make the same product Cuisinart and Presto were already making at the same price and hope? Why would someone invest $350k with such a plan?

How did those blogs settle on the Instant Pot when better known brands had functionally the same units at the same price (which the author seems not to know)? Why is it continually more successful than pre-existing brands from much larger companies? Crock Pot sells a unit for half the price. Almost all brands of electric pressure cooker have between 4 and 4.5 stars on Amazon because they're all about the same and admittedly a good product.

That's the story and it gives it short shrift. Not how Instant Pot invented something that actually existed for decades. Or how they don't explode, a problem solved before I was born.
