Most things I buy on Amazon come through Yamato, and a few through Sagawa or the Post office, so in fact, Amazon uses Takkyuubins. (I live in Japan)

Tangentially, takkyuubin is actually a trademark by Yamato, and the Ghibli movie, Majou no takkyuubin was actually sponsored by Yamato, and is one of the reasons there is a black cat in the movie (their emblem). The generic term is takuhaibin (宅配便).
Maybe they are happy with Air because its the cheapest Apple. I know since i got one recently for development purpose. I would have liked a better spec'd once, but others were costly.
I've been here 8 years and worked in IT for several of those. Definitely get the "hard work" ethic, but I feel like your post takes an overly cynical/narrow spin on it.

In my own limited exposure, most designers I have encountered worked by feel and experience instead of analytical principles. I've definitely heard people say that a part of the page feels a bit empty or get some evaluation to that effect from peers. It's much rarer to hear someone say something looks too busy or crowded.

I suspect that in the long grind to "polish your work", there's a simply tendency to remove all these "empty feeling" spots more than to "trim the fat".

This reduced the problem to why there's a bias for things to feel empty instead of busy. To venture a bit of personal sociology here, my experience makes me feel like Japan produces a bias toward more intentional and deliberate behavior. Or worded less charitably, we could maybe call it fussy?

Accepting this idea, in web design we'd expect a bias toward needing deliberate explanations for every aspect of the page layout, including every bit of white space that someone might point out.
Writing a background service in GoLang
CoD, Madden and GTA are big enough to make a profit at $60 though. We're not talking about those titles really. We're talking about the games that try to compete with them, and don't sell enough $60 copies to be worthwhile. Those are the games that need to reduce their production costs, or just not get made, rather than introducing things like loot boxes.
> The mistake in this line of thinking is in the tacit assumption that a quantum system possesses a certain property prior to or independent from a measurement.

Your comment is wrong. In the 3rd of the 3 interpretations of QM (Debroglie Bohm) this is exactly the case. The world is at all times in a well defined state. We just don't know it until we measure so we use probabilities to desceibe. All 3 QM interpretations are mathematically indistinguishable.
I also have an 2015 Air, it performs as advertised. I can't say that the performance degraded over time, contrary to the claim.
Not sure where I drew that parallel. I think we aren't discussing the facist angle in this sub-thread.
What you are saying regarding Lindgren is correct, but the point is that the Social Democrats went to far, as they drew heavy criticism from even a loyal supporter. But then the party partially reversed direction in the 1990s.

Note that Ingvar Kamprad wasn't the only one to leave Sweden for tax related reasons in the 70-80s era. To name a few others: Hans Rausing (TetraPak), Stefan Persson (H&M), Ingmar Bergman, Björn Borg..
It seems to me that the actual benefit of good teachers is not usually conveying information, but rather motivating students. And proximity plays a big part in that.
Precisely $0.00. I have never held bitcoins or any other cryptocoins -- Stripe abstracted that away for me.
I'm not on social media aside from Reddit. But what I notice with my wife and others is a simple reason why I dislike it. If you have 400 friends, and they each only take one vacation a year, that means 8x per week, you're looking at other people taking a vacation. Even if you travel 4x per year, you'll still feel like you never do anything and everyone else is always celebrating their life.

I realize this is a simple example, but it's valid and wears you down over time. Also, even having a handful of very wealthy friends can eventually lead to feelings of envy.

In past times, most people grew up surrounded by people similar to them in terms of wealth and status - but in today's world that's no longer the case.

YAGNI is bullshit for infrastructure (including platforms). In fact, the opposite is true - the more you give, the more interesting uses follow. Every extra sensor, every screen resolution increase could be dismissed on the basis of YAGNI. Hell, that 64K quote comes to mind.

Also, battery life and Apple phones - that's rich too, given that Apple was found to make iPhones reduce their computing power over time to preserve battery life, instead of educating their customers that batteries are not magic pixie dust, and they degrade over time.
I can't exactly take credit for litecoin (and others) using scrypt, given that they did it without my knowledge, endorsement, or advice. (If they had talked to me I would have pointed out that limiting scrypt to using 1 MB of RAM eliminated the entire point of scrypt.)
The argument is that since the Nazi will inevitably punch you, preemptively punching the Nazi is inherently defensive, and thus urging people to punch Nazis is not hate speech.

Of course, you may very well ask, isn't it trivial to construct an almost identical argument to justify violence against almost any particular category of people you'd care to name? Hopefully your interlocutor won't respond by punching you in the face.

The 1-10 scale is very clearly defined:

0 Pain free

1 Very minor annoyance-occasional minor twinges

2 Minor annoyance-occasional

3 Annoying enough to be distracting

4 Can be ignored if you are really involved in your work, but still distracting,

5 Can’t be ignored for more than 30 minutes.

6 Can’t be ignored for any length of time, but you can still go to work and participate in social activities.

7 Make it difficult to concentrate, interferes with sleep, you can still function with effort

8 Physical activity severely limited. You can read and converse with effort. Nausea and dizziness may occur.

9 Unable to speak, crying out or moaning uncontrollable- pain makes you pass out

10 Unconscious. Pain makes you pass out.

There's nothing wrong with security through obscurity, as long as it is merely one part in a defense-in-depth strategy, and can help you on occasion when other defenses fail in unexpected ways.
> Or lowering production costs. Less reliance on expensive licenses and must-be-bigger-than-the-last-one sequels and more original content instead would be a good starting point.

More likely, that would increase production costs. People pay for "expensive" licenses only when they are preceived to be a cheap way to buy an audience that will pay for the game, avoiding licenses and franchises in favor of "more original content" means more costs for content and more cost for marketing.

Are you a non-native English speaker? It is perhaps not a very elegant response, but it's perfectly coherent and relevant.

Consider the original comment to be the first clause in an 'if-then' sentence, i.e. "IF the cost of hiring lots of humans to work at a normal pace and giving them psychological counseling causes you to go out of business, THEN you should not fucking be in the business at all, BECAUSE otherwise you are externalizing the cost onto society and skimming the profit."

What do we really gain by Hacker News comments?

What do we really gain by blog posts? I personally have learned a lot about technology from peoples' blog posts, and Stack Overflow posts. Maybe not as much from Hacker News posts, but I've still learned some. And by reading reddit posts such as stuff in /r/askreddit I've learned a lot about people with backgrounds quite different than mine, and I believe the ability to better empathize with them.
While we're in this topic: Does anyone know of existing open source implementation (or at least a good starting point should I start myself) of chatbot that can read textual input (e.g. FAQ, handbook) and automatically use it to answer chat?

I've used WIT.ai and API.ai (now Dialogflow), and they both require you to give a bunch of example sentences (e.g. "Yes", "Okay", "Sure"), assign them an intent ("YES"), and use that intent in your custom code (if intent is YES then...). I found this to be tedious and limiting.

Is NY batting better than 3 out of 7 in keeping their governors out of jail? Because Illinois isn’t:
http://abc7chicago.com/archive/8973798/ Let that sink in for a minute: if you are elected governor of Illinois, stats say you’re likely to go to jail at some point.

There’s your difference. Other places might have a machine, but Chicago and Illinois take it to to an extreme. OTOH, when Daley said “build a park”, they started digging that day.
Actually this is .co and the posted talks about the .io, so different mechanism. The .co is more blatant.
Heh, I got mine from my company, because they said, 'that is the laptop for the engineers' and nobody cared when I said I don't need that.
And the 13" without touchbar would still be an usb-c one (I still had to replace all my stuff) and still have that crappy keyboard.

There are a lot of memes that go around people my age/younger than me (I'm 24), that make reference to depression / the fact that people don't really think that they have a chance at making a decent life. It's a humorous take on it, but it's manifesting a deeper anxiety, and it seems to have become a big thing in the past two years or so.

I moved to America about 18 months ago from New Zealand, and noticed that while Americans have more "stuff" they carry a lot more anxiety too. There's a lot less room for error. I think that's the same thing that's happened over generations. We've squeezed the big things - wages, housing prices, middle-class jobs and pumped up our general consumption. So we have more, but less security.
I don't think you understand what "supply" means.

I'm not saying landlords don't fulfill a valuable part in the housing puzzle, but saying landlords "supply" housing is absurd.
For me, no matter how fast I can switch windows, it's still faster just to glance at another monitor. And if I need to say, look at some example code in a browser, while having my own code open in an editor, as well as another terminal for reading output, it quickly gets very cramped at 1366x768.
Depends on width of the monitor, of course, but one reason would that it is easier for reader to follow lines if they are not too wide. The same reason is behind multicolumn layout in newspapers.
I agree with this. It's not about "jealousy" towards your friends on fb. It's about feeding the attention-monkey. And the more you feed that monkey the more it wants.

Healthy brains spend time (much time) prior to attention, just being. I like to go on long walks and practice breathing. Dissolving mind and attention leads to great clarity, when the thoughts are needed.

Society as a whole does not seem to recognize the attention-burden, for example, more and more advertising and television images are showing up everywhere. It is not possible to just relax and be, while commuting or getting around town. People seem to assume that this is the way to live. It is not.

You might try actually reading my comment. I mentioned exactly those other things as well as being partly at fault. Landlords don't get a free pass, though.
Nope. I was educated mostly at public (private) school in the UK, and spent a year at a private school in the US.

I was ruthlessly mocked until I learned to dissemble, to not put my hand up to answer a question, to be publicly told off by teachers for not handing in work.

The reason is simple - if you make others feel inferior, by being better at anything in any way than them, they hate and envy you.
I think previous versions of the wallet allowed address reuse (even though it is not recommended as you leak parts of your private key).

The latest wallet doesn't allow you to send money to such an address.
I think the cloud aspect is also quite interesting in the potential for a much cheaper remote desktop. Most applications don't require a beefy CPU, so just run them on something cheap and then just run anything demanding on a more powerful node.

For me or for a gnat? Because for me the cost is pretty high.
Amazon definitely profits from the existing delivery network here - no need for them to build this themselves, and it would be pretty hard to compete with anyways.

Delivery in Japan boggles my mind to be honest, I'd love to get an account of their cost structures - the logistics behind making this scale at the existing price point must be amazing and should probably be studied extensively in the west.
For the cloud, it would be an incentive to run the nodes, and you’d pay for the resource you’re using. I’m not saying they should, Im saying it could be a good startup or, in this case, a good model for a blockchain-based company.
Yeah, this is a strange pattern at the metro level. Same seems to hold true for my county (Cook County). I wonder if somehow the web site is counting income generated by commuters from collar counties as income lost by the main city.

EDIT:

No, I'm wrong. The statistics are starting in 1992, so mostly it's just showing the growth of suburbs. It's more obvious if you click on population mode.
I'm curious, how do you know that you need 1) 3500mah battery or 2) 2.1Ghz processor or 3) 4GB Ram on a smartphone? These things are meaningless without

1) detailed energy consumption analysis.
2) SoC Architecture details
3) OS Architecture details

Even if you are knowledgeable enough to understand all these, that information is useful only if you are going to do something different than the original design purpose. If you are going to use the product for the purpose that it's designed for, all you need is the average use time between charging.

Maybe you are an expert in the area but what about washing machines or tables? How likely is that the engineering specs of these products will also be in your domain?
Wave function collapse is not observed physical phenomenon. Some interpretations of QM require it to exist, but there is no empirical evidence of that happening.

Apparent wave function collapse happens when a wave function in a superposition of several eigenstates appears to reduce to a single eigenstate. The apparent wave function collapse collapse is mathematically equivalent of quantum decoherence where the wave function never really collapses but the states gets entangled with the observer.

If somebody were able to formulate and experience that would show the difference between decoherence and collapse, that would be new physics and we would be able to rule out some interpretations of quantum mechanics. Until that happens, 'shut up and caluclate' seems to be valid course of action.

As far I understand, the philosophical difference between apparent and actual wave function collapse is that in the apparent collapse probabilities of other states get so close to zero that they don't matter, in actual collapse they are exactly zero.

The assumption that human consciousness has something to do with setting all other states to zero is weird one and can't completely understand the assumptions behind it. I guess the idea is that we would not experience the world as we experience it now if there is just continuing decoherenće.
Ionic. I found it to have the most polished components. Better than Framework7. Also, you get a PWA with zero additional config when developing your SPA with Ionic. I’m happy with it.
Protip: It’s not the individual’s mobile device usage patterns that are the problem. It’s the usage patterns of everyone else that turns out to be distressing.
The part that I said wasn't entirely worthless was about those problem statements that are very specific and niche (I was contrasting that to the worthless ones).

Basic example, "People want more tasty Pizza", "People want better wine" is trivial and worthless.

A much more narrow, specific, and niche example could be valuable. Something like:

"In $area there are lots of migrants living from $country and they love this $local_type_of_bread that you can't find here at all. If you can bake some fresh ones you can probably make good money with it. You could sell them via these local ethnic grocery stores that people there visit often."

Unlike the first example there's some specific and non-trivial information there.
I've read a few coherent accounts of what happened here in the US, and several of them blame changing Medicare/Medicaid quality-of-care guidelines. Specifically, that at one point one of the guidelines -- which factor into how much various entities in the system get paid -- changed from measuring whether pain was appropriately managed, to measuring whether pain was being eliminated. Which in turn led to an explosion of prescriptions of high-strength pain medications in order to hit the measure.

Having some experience with Medicare's version of the guidelines, most of them are sensible and do directly relate to whether someone's being treated in a way that will lead them to be healthy and happy in the long term. But it appears that one was a major mistake.

The keyboard shortcuts remain the same, except of course that they then use the new keys. For instance, my "Ctrl+C" is QWERTY's Ctrl+V. You get used to it. It don't think it's an issue. I also don't know of a community behind QFMLWY, but I'm not sure you really need one.

There's only one way I've seen in which one can reliably make and maintain a polite community: build it around a niche topic and moderate away things that stray too far away from it. The moment you let your community be about anything and everything is the moment the "unwashed masses" come and the whole thing starts catering to the lowest common denominator, which is a pretty shitty level.

It's not a complete recipe, but I feel it's a necessary condition. This is a big part of why HN is a polite place, or why most niche subreddits are polite places.

Regalcoin Platform Launch Regalseven (R7)
Just spent two weeks on the other side of the border from Munich, in Austria. The article is very accurate on over the counter meds - you can’t get what you are used to in US.

I caught a really nasty flu the first few days there and by end of the week was searching for something to ease the cough. The cough syrup I was able to buy tasted like rubber and did not contain the active ingredients you normally find in US. It sort of worked - better then nothing, but certainly did not really help the situation. Cough drops I was given plain did nothing for me. All was purchased in a local Apotheke and dispensed by a pharmacist.

Upon return to the US, I continued to struggle with the cough and finally gave up and when to a doctor. Sinus infection and antibiotics... so much for the non-drug way of healing.
The undertreatment of pain in the US is affecting my grandparents in a huge way. My poor grandfather spends a week or more a month suffering from the rapid taper the doc is putting him through. We are trying to get him into pain management, apparently every doc in CA is scared of prosecution.

The irony is he would be just fine if they never rescheduled hydrocodone. When they did thst he had to be put on fentanyl and dilaudid, forcing us to seek out a pain specalist to get my grandfather the quality of life he needs to keep going.

The guy fell twice in two years and they just keep cutting him back, while abusers switch to heroin.

Genius tactic IMO. Deny those who need it, deny those who seek to abuse it, and force everyone to switch to heroin. Kidding of course- but thats where the abusers will go.

The legit QoL patients suffer with zero alternative. They cant take ibuprofen without shitting blood for a week.

Its like drm. The legit consumer is punished by those who abused the system.

Its more nuanced than that, but thats how it affects my life directly. Watching my grandparents in extreme pain because of crackdowns in all the wrong places. It makes me hurt and sick.
