Most importantly they have more information about each auction than their competitors.

They know for each user every other search result clicked. They know what the users interests are. They know which users prefer stuff delivered fast, which prefer the cheapest items, and which will be wooed by 50% off deals.

They can use that data to present the best possible results, get the highest click through rate, and sell the most products.

Therefore they can afford to pay more for the ad spots than someone without that data, who gets less precisely targeted ads, and fewer product sales per advertisement shown.

I've heard horror stories from all kinds of people with all kinds of insurers. For example, a neighbor of mine uses California Pacific Medical in Nob Hill. It's the hospital that caters to San Francisco elite. This past year his doctors mistook skin cancer on his eye for a sty for like 6+ months. He went back several times complaining before they caught their mistake. It's too soon to tell, but that serious issue may turn out to be a fatal one.

Doctors aren't magicians, and they make plenty of mistakes. More to your point, no respectable doctor is going to ignore the cost and time element. Nor should he. There's no such thing as a cost-free diagnostic or procedure, even when money is no object. Even the very best doctor the world has ever seen is working with scarce time and resources; namely, his own. There's no avoiding conflicting interests and goals of some sort or another.

At the end of the day people should be choosing healthcare based on objective criteria. More importantly, our social policies should be built around objective criteria. By objective criteria Kaiser is one of the very best hospital systems in the country. There's plenty to complain about, but it's the nature of things.

Right, as an alternative to random crashes. Bear in mind this is not an Apple problem, its a battery problem. All the other manufacturers have this problem, they just dont attempt to detect battery power fluctuations and mitigate it with throttling. They just eat the system crashes. Its got nothing to do with the CPU design, otherwise replacing the battery wouldnt fix the problem.

Hard to say without knowing the supplier's volume, the nature of the products, etc., but it's entirely possible given the nature of Amazon's warehouses that those "almost identical items" could be scattered all over.

They could have arrived from the supplier in small batches (or even one-by-one) over time if it's a low-volume sort of thing. Amazon might intentionally spread them throughout the fulfillment center in some situations to expedite packing and reduce the distances their robots have to travel.

If you’re freelancing full-time as a software dev, a meal and coffee and a nice desk and chair and computer every few years is a rounding error.

You’re talking about $1-2k per year for someone earning 100x - 300x that.
The problem with this story for software developers is how it feeds into very common mental models of how software development works. Certain people who think configuring a mail client is the same as coding a large-scale distributed system just because their eyes glaze over the first sentence of an explanation of how to do either, and their 12-year-old nephew can do the former, therefore they must be equivalent and just a matter of salesmanship/credentialism.

In some industries, you cannot avoid flat pricing. E.g. bidding on any sort of construction or renovation project. You may have workers under you who work by the hour, but that's your problem.
On ARM1156, and ARMv7 and newer, use MOVW, which takes a simple 16-bit immediate. If 16 bits doesn’t do it, use a MOVW/MOVT pair which can load any 32-bit value.

On older ARMs, either do a load immediate followed by an immediate arithmetic, like so:

MOV R0, 0x0100
ADD R0, R0, 0x01

Or use a PC relative load:

LDR R0, [PC, offset where you stored 0x101]

Which the assembler allows you to abbreviate as:

LDR R0, =0x101

And it will find a spot for 0x101 and generate the correct PC relative load.
It does.

But the point you raise...

"Should this be HTTPLogger or Logger given that it is in the HTTP package"

and variations thereof is something that has been a point of contention at almost every job I've been at.

by default with Pony if you use a package, you'll have the classes imported directory into your namespace so...

HTTPLogger is more clear in that case, but you could use a qualified import and then have something like http.Logger.

It's a matter of preference.
I really do not understand the appeal of shipping containers as houses.

We already have several industries around "containerized" homes. There are pre-fab houses, there are RVs, and there are "mobile homes".

Shipping container as a home just seems like function trying to follow form. Shipping containers looks industrial-cool, but from everything I have ever been able to find on them, they make terrible houses.

React library to construct timeseries charts
Great tool. Use it all the time and definitely a good way for beginners to get started with React without worrying about how to set up the surrounding project.
This library contains a set of modular charting components used for building flexible interactive charts. It was built for React from the ground up, specifically to visualize timeseries data and network traffic data in particular. Low level elements are constructed using d3, while higher level composability is provided by React. Charts can be stacked as rows, overlaid on top of each other, or any combination, all in a highly declarative manner.

> Even if the natural germination rates are low, it would still be significant enough to make a difference in the assertion this article uses as introduction.

If self regeneration is low, it doesn’t matter what the absolute numbers are, they are still tiny compared to the level of deforestation.

Then there’s the attrition rate of forests, which is probably in the same order of magnitude as natural reforestation.

“Rate at which humans plant trees - rate at which humans destroy trees” is a good first order approximation of the general trends simply because the numbers are so large compared to all other factors.

In every environmental context, human action is the greatest impact by an order of magnitude simply because there are so many of us. For example, the greatest sources of methane in the environment are from human activities such as mining and cattle (64% according to USA EPA), way ahead of swamps and other natural sources.

Studies in Brazil suggest that natural reforestation is a process that takes between 60 years (some trees are back) to 4000 years (this patch has regenerated to be the same as the forest around it). It takes so much less time to clear a patch of forest than to regenerate, that the regeneration is a rounding error in calculations with two significant digits.

The issue is without a recall/advisory consumers won't know that their tires are potentially dangerous. When buying a vehicle (or any item really) the customer should be able to assume that the product isn't dangerously underspeced in some way. If the specs were well communicated to the manufacturers of the RVs (and possibly tire shops) then it's not Goodyear's fault that the tires were put on RVs where they were unfit for the purpose. What is their fault though is that when the problem came to light they moved to protect themselves and prevent the problem from coming to light through the terms of their settlements.

Well, what other languages aside from Groovy give you access to the pipeline "api" in Jenkins? AFAIK there's not a lot of choice in the matter there.

Honestly though the biggest problem I have is that there's nearly zero pipeline documentation for Jenkins. The language itself is neither here nor there (but by virtue of not being a Java guy, I don't have a particularly robust development environment setup).

> Serious question, how is Bitcoin fundamentally different from gold?

So there are a handful of assets (gold, silver, jewels; generally stuff you'd expect to find in your average pulp fantasy treasure chest) that are essentially ancient speculation bubbles that never popped. They're valuable because there valuable. The optimist view of Bitcoin is that it's going to be the newest member of that august club.

The bad news is that most of the list predates money as we understand it. It's not entirely clear if new gold-class assets even can be created anymore.

The worse news is that the list is getting shorter. Aluminum used to be the stuff of kings, now we make candy bar wrappers out of it. Indigo, spices, pearls, turquoise. They all spent centuries as treasures until they weren't. Diamonds are starting to fall off, although it'll probably take a few decades.

All of these were once extremely scarce and became a lot more common for one reason or another. And Bitcoin itself is limited, but any idiot can fork off their own altcoin.

It's possible that in a few hundred years a Bitcoin will be just as much "treasure" as a bar of gold, but that's still far from a certain thing.

I understand, but the sheer amount of duplication is rather overwhelming. Also, a lot of it seems like implementation details related to the API/protocol and so on that don't need this kind of naming uniqueness.

Go solves this by never dumping namespaces into another namespace: You have http.Request, and that's it, which is both unambiguous and self-explanatory. Name clashes can occur (e.g. packages have the same name, or a local variable has the same name), but that's rare.

Yeah, in some way it feels that there's essentially a huge software (reverse) engineering project.

We have the technical ability to read all the code in our DNA, understand what small parts of it do (e.g. making a particular protein), and model some of the small scale behavior.

And we've got a very, very, very large codebase of mishmash undocumented legacy homegrown code that sort of does what we want but in an unstable and occasionally buggy manner. And we've got a strong wish to fix some bugs (i.e. genetic diseases) and possibly add some features (e.g. longer quality lifespan, increased capabilities). So we'd like to reverse-engineer this system.

The good part is that we only have to do it once and we can cooperate on it; the bad part is that the system is really complex and (more importantly) horribly interdependent; it actually implements pretty much all the practices that we know makes code unmaintainable.

Anyway. The hypothesis I'm trying to make is that this seems to indicate that research on advanced methodologies and tools to analyze and understand large quantities of tangled (and possibly intentionally obfuscated) computer code; work techniques and algorithms for computer(machine learning?)-aided understanding and reverse engineering large quantities of code seem likely to eventually have practical applications in biotech.

Yes, contemporary code behavior is quite far from protein interaction. That's ok - we're quite far from starting to properly reverse-engineer (in this context) biotech as well; with every decade, code (and its analysis) will become more complex and biotech more understood, eventually meeting. And when designing tools for analysis of very complicated systems, the tools will anyway have to be adapted not to the systems but to the analyzer, to the limitations of what structures the human researchers can understand and "keep in their head" and what needs to be automatically summarized/structured by tools.

> only one line of text will tell you if something is actually sold by Amazon or some sketchy third party vendor

The problem with commingling, though, goes beyond that: if there are any “Fulfilled by Amazon” vendors for the same product, buying a product “sold by Amazon” does not guarantee you that the actual product you receive was not sourced by a shady FBA vendor that does less to protect against counterfeits in its sourcing than Amazon does. So you can't trust Amazon—or an FBA vendor that is trustworthy on their own—if other vendors using FBA exist for the same product.

An immediate-style API does not mean the work is performed immediately. Skia defers and reorders internally to batch commands so minimal GL state changes are required.

That said a "lot of GL calls" for a 2D UI is actually a trivially insignificant number of GL calls to the actual GPU/driver for most cases. That's basically never the bottleneck unless you've done something insanely wrong.
