Social time with the freedom to choose how you spend it allows individuals to congregate into their own tribes and pursue interests pertinent to them. Forced social interactions that are the byproduct of other necessary transactions are how we learn from others unlike ourselves.

All food restrictions are religion. Will you eat sushi? Bugs? Vegetable protein paste? Why not? Most excuses are just religion dressed up.

Here's a train of thought to help illustrate:

I'm not vegan but I'm glad to eat lab-grow meat! Its clearly acceptable for {many reasons}.

Oh, how about meat grown from rats? Tasty and nutritious?

Uh, well, sure I guess.

How about grown from apes?

But...but...that's not...

And our new product: meat from people. Tastes like pork!

No, wait a minute, that's going too far!

The latest fad: meat from people you know! Your spouse! Your kids! Your grandmother!

Blech! I couldn't eat that!

Everybody has a different 'blech' threshold. And its all 'religion'.

What's missing here is a discussion of compensation. I've seen at conferences how proud senior Google employees (ie Jeff Dean) are of the TPU work that their teams are doing, and I suspect that compensation is following accordingly. I doubt that Intel or similar companies are compensating their people at the same level. Whenever I see people talking about a talent war, I'm always suspicious that they're getting outspent and are unwilling to compete.
I haven’t the foggiest about the first two, but I’m going to guess that one of the workers would notice you cover yourself up with a blanket.
Emacs can have tabs, besides the obvious tab-bar mode, you could also just use i3. Set it to tabbed mode with super+w,then hit ctrl-x-5-2 to open new frames, they will open as tabs. (Frame means window in emacs lingo)

With Emacs anything is possible. You don't have to settle for buffers. There is also speedbar for a tree-based view.
so employees get 0% of the profits in salary.

Bonuses, profit sharing and raises are all things that exist. So while technically correct, you are actually completely wrong.
There's no reason to believe a multinational corporation can roll out a service globally and maintain it consistently with all nations's laws. See for example Google in China. They could always segment their services or be split into multiple companies.

Although it would be convenient to live in a legally consistent world, I think we are in a much better situation than hundreds of years ago, when the largest corporation had its own laws, its own army, and the ability to carry out the death penalty.
This is a regional cultural thing. I’ve mostly noticed it in ethnically and linguistically homogenous areas. Absolutely not the case in most American urban centers outside of the northern US.
Don't hire without product-market fit, make sure to have enough runway to find it.
I wanted to point out that this happens very often; Game of Thrones nor House of Cards aren't completely fiction and people change rapidly when a potential wealth gain is at stake. The dominance game is very real and people probe for your weaknesses all the time, trying to exploit them and hack you for their benefit. Cover your back at all times and never put all your eggs in one basket. Push to become independent as much as you can and your talents allow.
The example is obvious if you actually step outside your door. Anyone can get anything delivered at any time of day or year, so other than going to work, there is no need right now for anyone to leave their house, ever. But funny enough, if you go into any downtown area, any park, any waterfront, any restaurant, they're busy. Abnormally busy, based on the fact that, again, none of them have any need to be there.

Turns out that when you relieve people of the burdens of things they have to do (like grocery shopping, which is oftentimes tedious and boring), they now have more time and energy to do things they want to do. Instead of forced interactions at the grocery store, they'll go to a park and talk to people they actually want to talk to. Instead of spending an entire day going to Costco and shoving their way through the crowds, they visit a boutique store and stop for coffee at a local cafe.

Some of the comments in this thread are quite curious. Bemoaning the death of tedious chores and banal small-talk like these are things the general public actually enjoys doing rather than merely tolerates out of necessity.
Because you came up randomly with your disappointment absolutely unrelated to today's topic, I'm tempted to give you another unrelated news: the Linux project has stopped using Bitkeeper too.

Amazon has had this store open for employees to use for some time. Think of that time as a massive bug bash hacking project where really smart people are encouraged to try to find ways to wreak havoc with the system. There are undoubtedly attacks still to find but Amazon is definitely not being clueless about this.
Sweet summer child. Enterprise is churning out TypeScript as if it was the new Java.
How did ReasonML (a dialect of a language), or Elm (a language) end up in the list of JavaScript frameworks? Whereas ClojureScript (a language) or Purescript (a language) didn't make it, but libraries/frameworks built on Purescript did.

It doesn't make sense :-/
People routinely use a more loose definition of the word productively, for instance the term "profit sharing" is commonly understood.
But as you point out, unless it is through dividends from stock grants/options, whatever is shared with the employee no longer is profit.
Welllll. Now that idea for a Smart Shopping Cart that I drew up 10 years is completely obsolete hahaha.

Like it or not, this Amazon Go store is a model for all future brick and mortar establishments. In 20 years we will recall the good old days when we waited in line and used cash much like people look back at the time when people sent cards and letters before email.
They serve fairly different purposes, so it highly depends. In general, I find reddit to meme/joke infested (a few subreddits moderate this out, but the vast majority doesn't or doesn't keep up), but it's obviously the more appropriate format for non-questions or questions requiring discussion.

There is a lot to be said for a traditional forum.
A similar attack at a normal grocery store is to grab an item off a shelf and walk out the door. Another attack is, if an employee asks you to stop and show your receipt, just keep walking.

But yeah, the cops tend to frown on shoplifting. It's actually a crime in many places, believe it or not.
That is terrible. Not only it takes away jobs, it also gives Amazon the unprecedented access to the sensitive information about customers. I would never go to this store. Fortunately something like this will never happen in our beautiful Europe.
Who drives the better cars, has better vacations, and better real-estate?
Except this only works if we can flip a switch at some point in time to automate everything. Otherwise people will still have to work maintaining robots, building new robots, or working on the technology that powers the robots.

So, now when people are all out there 'playing', the ones enabling the playing still have to work. Good luck encouraging people that is a good idea, when they could just quit and go play themselves.
Stop n Shop in the NYC Tri-State area has this, but they are the only store that I've seen that does. I'd assume it has a technical barrier to implementation, and large-ish up front cost.

And get a pat on the head while he or she gets the cash.
Am I the only one living in a country where most stores have self-checkout already? The comments here make it sound like it's either Amazon Go or having to pay through a cashier.

Jobs and social interaction have already been elminated by self-checkout. The revolution with Amazon Go is that you don't need to scan anything yourself, not that it removes the cashier.
This was a pretty clever idea. I haven't heard about it before. It gets some of the benefits from making an MVP in a really cheap way.

Glassdoor is fascinating for all the wrong reasons. I've now worked in charity/community, private sector, and government, for big, small and medium.

During my last switch (from private back to government), i noticed what I'll call the "reverse glass door" effect while browsing their profiles. It was weak but it was there. That is to say, if i had to take all the employers, consultancies and corporations I've had to deal with, and rank them from places I've enjoyed myself at the most to places where I would have to genuinely ask whether there was a wage they could pay me to make me work with them again, it seemed that the workplaces I considered the worst held the highest glassdoor star ratings, and my favourites have consistently been around the middle of the pack.

As a statistician I've even considered naming and investigating this effect: explicit rating systems that end up being the inverse of what they purport to be measuring, and I've got some theories as to what could be behind it (me being abnormal, such firms having the resources/need/desire to manage their image the most, high turnover and getting new people to leave such rankings during their honeymoon period), but I've not got round to doing it with any rigor...
not entirely serious, but not entirely joking: in a world where all stores are like this; you drop your phone and it smashes, can you still buy food?

The money paid to employees is deducted from the profits (or more precisely, profits are what is left after expenses and labor costs are paid).

So your salary is your share of the profits in any pragmatic sense.

This isn't MBA level stuff, any basic accounting course will explain it. In fact, I recommend anyone who cares about this sort of thing to learn basic accounting principles - it is simple, and highly useful knowledge. You'll be able to then read a business's Income Statement and Balance Sheet, and see where the money comes from, where it goes, and where it is allocated.

The revolution here isn't self-checkout. In my country most stores already have that, which means all social interaction is eliminated already. So your argument is less about Amazon Go and more about self-checkout. The revolution is that you don't need to scan any items yourself or do anything at all. Just pick your items and go out.
> See for example Google in China.

Yes, Google’s Services in China are adapted to local laws. But China only applies those laws inside it’s territory. China is not demanding that Google block “Tank Man”-Videos outside of China. The US wants to apply the Stored Communications Act outside of it’s territory (In casu to Ireland).

Good point! Cities are doing great worldwide, and few seem like they lack people doing stuff.

But of course you don't see the people who are at home or in the suburbs (shudder). Loneliness and solitude seem to be growing as well. Maybe worst in Japan, but the problem also exists worldwide.

Can you clarify how segmenting the services has any effect on this? It seems that even if Microsoft had an entirely EU-only product that the same rules would apply for accessing the data.

That makes sense after having a language reaching 1.0 in production use.

Not so much when prototyping, when it isn't even clear if the language is going to get any users beyond the design team.
> If this was such a great service why is IEX becoming so big?

This is not an informed thesis. This is just an appeal reducible to the following statement: “A thing cannot be a good service if it has a large and organized opposition.”

>HFT is a nightmare from a CSR view. Those companies provide no real value to society (not by any standard) and even worse: By hiring all those talented young people with degrees in various fields they actually hurt society.

If your thesis is that HFT provides no benefits for society, please provide a substantive rebuttal against the claim that it improves liquidity and price discovery.

HFT increases the availability of bids and asks in the orderbook by rapidly volunteering to be the trading counterparty in otherwise inefficient markets. By seeking the best price for its own strategies and making as many trades as possible with as little latency as possible, the increased liquidity is accompanied by improved price discovery.

> Give those people real problems to work on, instead of wasting them on optimizing those HFT systems.

Please define “real problem”, and please explain how the aforementioned benefits contributed by HFT are incompatible with this definition. Meanwhile keep in mind that the vast majority of companies, including those in tech, likely do not work on “real problems”, so next I’m going to ask why this is a meaningful criticism in the first place.
"You" is not gendered, only third-person pronouns are in English.
In my anecdotal experience, giving patients the brutal facts about experimental cancer treatments doesn't shift their decisions much. Regardless of the exact odds, some people are predisposed to fight long odds with painful treatment, and some are predisposed to stop fighting and optimize quality of life. Both choices are legitimate and it's not worth bending the truth one iota to try and get more research subjects (or to bend it the other way to avoid "false hope").

Most lying in this context is driven by the speaker's (partially unconscious) desire to avoid short-term social tension.
What about lab dairy?

It's completely counterintuitive, but factory farming practices for dairy are arguably as bad if not worse than what is done for meat, and dairy even supports the meat industry (veal).

I know there are fake options like Daiya, but it's just not the same.
> So your salary is your share of the profits in any pragmatic sense.

Okay, so I'm getting a tiny fraction compared to everyone else. Again, this is a fairly pedantic tangent and no matter how we define these things, my observation seems to be accurate.

Again, this sub-thread about the definition of profit is both tangential and unrelated to my original point. I think the standard accounting definition is pretty useless and silly in the context of modern large firms, but that seems like a discussion for another day.

> This isn't MBA level stuff

By MBA stuff I don't mean "useless econ 101 terms". What I mean is "aligning engineering talent with value creation", which AFAIK isn't taught is basic accounting courses...?

The author of the post suggested this alignment is an engineer's job. But the whole point of a firm is that the MBAs do that and the engineers focus on building things. That's my point -- that in the context of a large firm, the author is wrong.

Of course, joining a large firm means that your own compensation is disconnected from the value the firm creates. And that can mean less share of compensation, especially when the firm is doing well. But it also means you can make a good living without becoming a Monday morning economist.

I don't really care about defining profit "correctly" according to accounting terminologists because I think a well-meaning reader can completely understand the point that I'm making in my original comment without this aside.
Hint: Interpret the file’s bits as a single number
Interesting, I saw this as the opposite. Without the existence of centralized checkouts, retailers can craft totally different experiences for shoppers. It's in their best interests to keep shoppers in stores for longer. A great example is wine tastings at Whole Foods locations - it's clearly a social event within a grocery store.

I'd say there's going to be even _more_ opportunities for social interactions at grocery stores like Amazon Go.

To your point, though, the "marketplace" you're talking about is the ambiguity between the consumer and the worker, aka Marx's point about the commodity fetish. That's something that's existed since the late 1800's, though. I don't think that's going away anytime soon.

Although I can see something similar to a farmer's market run in the same format as Amazon Go. I haven't thought through all the edge cases yet, but it feels like a solvable problem.
"We get our money from customers" doesn't actually cover many other very real use cases. Let's try:

- We get our money from bosses who want higher headcounts to justify their position.

- We get our money from competitive poaching, so that if GOOG/MSFT/FB has us the other firms don't.

- We get our money from salespeople tricking customers into buying our products. This deception is easier if the products actually meet a need, but that isn't required.

- We get our money from VC firms playing pyramid games.

- We get our money from government grants that need to get spent or funding gets cut next year.

- We get our money from grants that have to be spent to show investment in "innovation" or "modernization".

- We get our money from selling out users to drive advertising clicks.

- We get our money because...BTC is stupidly volatile.

It's extremely naive, in the modern economy, to say "herp derp just deliver value to customers and you'll get paid what you're worth".

EDIT: Nice downvotes. Again, consider that maybe the modern economy is so twisted and weird in software dev that maaaaybe this simple Protestant work-ethic narrative doesn't actually hold water. Sorry to burst your bubble.

The author seems suprised that Jake Paul knows really well how to abuse social media and claims he is a genius. In my opinion, these mechanism are no secret. You dont have to be a genius to grasp them. Therefore you dont have to be afraid of him at all.
Wow, this explains so well why I despise Eurogames. Instead of eliminating opponents, everybody plays until the end after some arbitrary score limit is reached (or turn limit or whatever).

I play Dominion or Catan and I'm working away and suddenly somebody says "game over! I won!" and I'm thinking, well that was a waste of time. I'm resentful and frustrated - what did I do all that for if it ends at such a meaningless point?
why would anyone want to achieve a 50:50 gender ratio for new software engineer hires? you should simply aim for hiring the best software engineer despite their gender/age/color. The only ratio you could try to achieve would be to have 50:50 applicants for the roles and the select the best candidates.

Or will you hire a female even if she sucks at the job because your team is only made of males? Are you filling a sticker collection or building a team?
Dave Chapelle pointed out the same thing with why in the black community black women don't seek help from the authorities. Because they know that the punishment for the men is going to be unjust.
OK, ignoring signal from Glassdoor, there still might be some correlation between how well the workplace is perceived (unless is some Russian/Chinese/Indian company where everybody must love the company or else) and how much you might enjoy it. Usually bosses are the main reason people quit so there is a lot of variance between different teams.
> They have no idea what is happening to the guy truly

Either they're intentionally wearing a seizure-inducing costume, or they're not. It's impossible to be certain, but that's no reason to drop the topic altogether.

> If you have proof, or more info
> Noone knows what set this person off

These are extremely odd questions to ask in this context, and imply significant insider knowledge about this community. Can you give us the context we're missing that helps us understand your background with flashing LED costumes?

> If that person was an asshole truly, they wouldn't have moved

Incorrect. Behaving politely and saying "oh, I'm so sorry" is the appropriate action to take, but offers no guidance whatsoever as to their intention.

Was their intention to trigger seizures in others, or were they oblivious to the problem when they designed the costume?

We don't have the evidence to say with certainty what the user's intentions were, and probably never will. But we still need to have a conversation about seizures and user intentions.

This is the human brain we're snow crashing, not just a program, and we owe it to ourselves to try harder to solve this problem. Intentions must be assumed sporadically malicious, as with all Internet-based things, and we should have — and have not — protected these folks from harm.

EDIT: Direct accusations about the individual aren't cool outside of their tight-knit community, because it's not our place to pass judgement or step in as moderators in their (VR-based) forum. It's still okay to discuss culpability of both parties in general and especially in VR and so forth. This is Hacker News. What can we hack together that can be used to filter seizures? Is there a photosensitive material that reacts to strobing by going dark until the strobing stops? Be the first to the finish line to make the danger-sensitive glasses from Hitchhiker's Guide!
