Git tracks the committer and the author separately: you should see the “who merged” preserved as the committer and the “who wrote it” as the author.

If each commit notes the issue number in its comment (“Add indentation and trailing white space check to CI [#123]”) then you can see easily when each merge occurred by issue number.

Additionally in GitHub there are conveniences built from these little conventions. The “#123” is displayed as a hyperlink to the issue, and merging a commit that has “Fix #123” automatically closes the issue.

In cases where a feature is big enough to justify multiple commits for clarity, you can mention “#123” in all but the last commit, and “fix #123” in the final commit. Doing so partitions the linear history.

In fact, if someone else notices and fixes a regression caused by the merge, they can push additional commits later on but mention “#123” in their commit as well for documentary purposes. Seeing downstream commits “out of sequence” but with some earlier issue number is a clue this was probably a regression.
What May Be U.S.’s First Drone-Linked Aircraft Crash Is Being Investigated
The author does not offer ANY evidence for Amazon's supposed "dominance".

How exactly is Amazon dominating?

What percentage of online retail sales does Amazon have? What percentage of TOTAL retail sales (online and offline)?

And more importantly, how is Amazon's market position harming consumers?

It's remarkable that Tim Harford wrote this entire article without citing a single figure or statistic.

What seems to be going on is that there is a PERCEPTION that Amazon is totally dominating and monopolizing retail, but retail is so big that you can grow massively and have revenues of a $100 billion without coming close to being a monopoly.

Points to note:

(1) Amazon has no MOAT. Anyone can set up shop and start delivering things to people. There is no switching cost.

(2) Amazon has MASSIVE well-funded competition in all of its areas: online retail (Walmart), Cloud (Google), video streaming (Netflix), Books (the big publishers who own the content)

(3) You can live quite comfortably and cheaply and conveniently get almost everything that Amazon has to offer without having to use Amazon if you don't want to (books, retail items, cloud services, etc.). This is not the case with pure monopolies like utilities, or monopolies like Intel or Microsoft where completely avoiding them is a big pain for the average person.

I get that the tulip thing it's over-blown, but...

"When the crash came, it was not because of naive and uninformed people entering the market, but probably through fears of oversupply and the unsustainability of the great price rise in the first five weeks of 1637."

So, what happened in January, 1637?

"So those who lost money in the February crash did so only notionally: they might not get paid later. Anyone who had both bought and sold a tulip on paper since the summer of 1636 had lost nothing. Only those waiting for payment were in trouble, and they were people able to bear the loss."

Does the author know how debts work?
You might be interested in reading about Prince Rupert's cube. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16399079

In particular from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_Rupert%27s_cube

> In geometry, Prince Rupert's cube (named after Prince Rupert of the Rhine) is the largest cube that can pass through a hole cut through a unit cube, i.e. through a cube whose sides have length 1, without splitting the cube into two pieces. Its side length is approximately 6% larger than that of the unit cube through which it passes. The problem of finding the largest square that lies entirely within a unit cube is closely related, and has the same solution.

That 6% larger is the key.
I remember a little bit of debate and a lot of consternation in 2002/2003 on whether a preemptive strike on Iraq was justified given their likelihood of having/using WMD. And in Minority Report how the theme was about how convicting on precrime was a right violation.

But has society really shifted thinking that acting based Amazon’s potential future dominance is a substantial discussion? Our predictive ability is not very accurate to be able to act preemptively (eg, no WMDs in Iraq).

So ending Amazon’s pre-dominance seems rather inefficient and bad for society.
From the linked page:
"Students who enter the program [...] are informed [...] about the government's beliefs about the dangers of recreational drug use [...]"

This wording is very suggestive, and I think that part of the problem might be 'the government's beliefs'.

When I was studying abroad in the US I was surprised by the lack of nuance in the information provided by the university. It stated that
1. Drunk sex equals rape (but only if you are male)
2. Drinking alcohol can lead to pregnancy (without any elaboration).

I found it very hard to take any drug or alcohol-related information from the university serious after reading that. You feel like a little child that's being lied to, and I can see how this increases drug abuse. The zero-tolerance policy for drugs and alcohol under 21 also feels very distopian, and is enforced in a very dogmatic way, without much common sense.
Yeah, your native vs truly native distinction is just splitting hairs. Unless you're making a game or an otherwise CPU intensive app why does it matter whether you create your UIViews from ObjC or a JS VM?
"The bad: ABI stability

I’m used to being able to run binaries I compiled years ago on a modern system. This is generally possible in Linux, assuming you have the correct shared libraries available."

May be true for terminal stuff that rely mostly on kernel syscalls to get stuff done. But deity help you if you try to get a GUI binary you want to get going. You may well have to clone a distro from back then in terms of libs.

And things may even balk at Xorg if something happens to talk some xlib stuff that didn't come along in the xcb transition...

Amazon has many direct competitors. It’s likely that this is why they are behaving so well. But my guess is just Bezos’ philosophy as a driver.
I don't understand why the author and many here consider splitting Amazon only AFTER they display behavior that is harmful to consumers (such as exorbitant prices and/or poor service).

Reading his article, he seems to be saying Amazon does everything good for the American economy and consumers, and he's against false positives (wrongly calling out anti competitive behavior). But at the very last paragraph he suddenly waves his wand and concludes "Amazon is too dominant, we should split them into two, after all two Amazons would be better then one". It just seems like he forgot or got lazy to consider the pros and cons of having two smaller Amazons for the sake of it.

As a FreeBSD user, I agree with this article.

Virtualization, which is one of my main use cases, works but is far from perfect. FreeBSD 11 improved things - in particular, UEFI graphics exposed over VNC makes installing Windows less painful (however, I couldn’t get networking working in the guest so it wasn’t terribly useful). One huge miss is that UEFI variables aren’t persisted across guest reboots, so it’s entirely possible to install a system and not be able to boot it without issuing UEFI commands.

I really like the clean split between base system and 3rd-party software. However, I whole heartedly agree that managing 3rd-party software is a mess. Plus, thanks to the ABI issues, doing major version upgrades is kind of scary. I’ve never had an issue with a major version upgrade, but doing it scares me every time.

Finally, there’s one huge issue that FreeBSD finally fixed in 11.1. The kernel was not compiled with IPSEC in 10.x, and in 11.0 they compiled it with IPSEC but not IPSEC_NAT_T. It took until 11.1 for IPSec VPNs to finally be usable out of the box.
Okay then, let's assume you are doing something more cutting edge. Like speculative execution involving memory prefetching.

What are "industry best practices" for that? There are like 3 companies which do this competitively at scale and each of them guard their methods like it's the Coca-Cola recipe.
Finance have been doing this for a long time.

See J.K. Galbraith's The Great Crash: 1929.
Thanks for pointing this exmple out. Now, I'm also confident that graphics are doable in integer arithmetic.

I don't believe that most investors really have a grasp on how "long term" Bezos' thinking is. It's not multi-year, it's multi-decade... maybe even multi-century[0].

This is all just speculation from his involvement with the Long Now Foundation, but one of their goals is to foster long lived institutions... I believe that this is Bezos' vision for Amazon and that investors hoping for it to stop its self investment and growth are in for a very long wait.

The discussion was about the U.S. and it's lack care for it's citizens. Since immigration in the U.S. is not the cause of this then bringing up immigration is a red herring.

I've never said, implied, insinuated, or hinted that immigration doesn't adversely effect per capita GDP in any nation since it isn't currently having such an effect in the U.S.

Let’s say you’re wealthy enough to do this. Why can’t you do it today?

I imagine self driving trucks will be priced with the cost savings over decades of driverless service in mind. Couldn’t you get a mega-RV and hire a team of human drivers, retrofit the RV with a collision avoidance system like OnGuard, and live in the RV?

I’m sure it’d be expensive, but I imagine the wealth needed to do either in of the same order of magnitude. right?

Sometimes people talk about how worried they are about human consumption and sustainability and sometimes people talk about sticking their office on a truck, taking to congested roads and generating metric tons of CO2 for a daily change of scenery. We sure are a varied crowd.
I'd really (honestly) like for all this to be true, but the innovations here are that Johnson figured out some secret sauce in the electrolyzer's electrocatalyzer mix, and some more secret sauce in the fuel cell's hydrides. It's possible this happened, but I'm pretty skeptical.
The article is a bit vague on these so I'll take a stab:

Random network are generated randomly, i.e. drawn from some distribution. An example would be the Erdos-Renyi (ER) network, where edges are drawn from a Bernoulli distribution between each node in the network. The simplest way to measure random networks is to determine the degree distribution. ER networks hence result to degree distributions that follow the Binomial distribution (Poisson as N->infty, Np->const). Since the edge probabilities are rather simple and drawn independently, one can take the ER network as sort of a "null model" of random networks.

Scale-free networks, on the other hand, do not follow this degree distribution. Rather, they follow a power-law distribution p(k) ~ x^-a. A process to explain this is that the network is generated by preferential attachment: nodes are more likely to be connected to nodes which are highly connected in the first place. Most of the discussion and the following arguments on this are in the article.

It’s an inflammatory title and it’s clearly purposely blown out of context. I’m not familiar with the site, but it looks to be pushing an agenda very hard, which is a shame since it appears that the article has a lot of potential otherwise.

Apparently bills in a dozen states that protect drivers who unintentionally (only that word is in scare quotes) hit protesters count as laws restricting protests. Other laws counted include laws for tampering with power equipment and laws that merely raised the fines for trespassing on restricted grounds.
OP is dreaming. The US has perhaps never been more pro-business, hands off, and unwilling to do any anti-trust, than they are now. They will not be breaking up any companies any time soon. A 1990s Microsoft anti-trust case, you wont see.

In fact I think we’ll see corporations increasing their influence. acting as banks, keeping private armies, controlling political affairs.

Such selling at a loss is really weird from an anti-trust perspective.
As a worst case, it allows a company to 'invest' in market share by selling at a loss to strangle the competition. Once this is done, they can entrench themselves and raise prices.
If you only look at anti-trust as consumer protection, the above scenario only becomes problematic when its to late.

That said, lines are hard to draw. When is a company lowering prices to strangle the competition and when is the competition being strangled a side-effect of efficiency?
Is it okay if amazon intends to always stay cheap, and use retail as a loss-leader?
What should happen when supermarkets dampen price fluctuation, taking a loss when prices spike to appease their customers.

It's a hard problem, but we should be careful about companies operating at a loss just to strangle their competition.
However, should this come at the cost of companies that strangle their competition by just being more efficient?

> Where are the calls about Walmart?

Are you seriously saying you've never heard anyone call for ending Walmart's dominance?

> I think we have to see the bigger picture. Growth, momentum, and investments should be a good thing.

The big picture for involves looking outside of the myopic view of growth, momentum, and investments, and seeing how it affects people. Growth, momentum, and investments are only a good thing when the gains benefit society, which only happens if they occur throughout a diverse market. Growth, momentum, and investments for Amazon only benefit Amazon, and if they're only in Amazon, it's at the expense of the rest of the market.

> Dominance is not illegal. Nor technically is a monopoly. Using a monopoly illegally is.

The implication that companies with monopolies don't use them, in direct opposition to incentives, is incredibly naive.

Also, this is a conversation about policy should be, so telling people what policy is, isn't really very relevant.

> Amazon accounts for 4% of ALL retail sales.

> Having said that we would have to fundamentally change the definition of a monopoly in order to break up the party responsible for 4% of the market -- and have a record of reducing prices.

On what basis have we decided that "retail sales" is the most relevant market segment? Why not "book sales" or "online sales"? It should absolutely be concerning to us that Amazon is dominant even in these smaller markets, with little hope of competition.
Are they already fully driverless or do they still have a safety driver?
> but after 2day shipping, you cant go back

Maybe it's a US-market issue, but I don't understand why Amazon is lauded for two-day shipping as if it is unique.

They don't have any particular delivery logistics genius except bulk-purchase discounts from the carriers.

The 'Amazon Prime' air cargo fleet is leased from an industry-standard cargo airline, nothing unique or exclusive.

And they make silly errors that show how their shipping system works; they won't ship lithium batteries ( or even DSLR cameras ) to Northern Ireland even though they have a logistics warehouse here. Because the inter-warehouse backhaul is via Royal Mail, who won't carry hazardous items.
I wasn’t counting isms, the article is about the treatment of people in anonymous chats based on gender, where women and particularly good looking women are treated more poorly. This Is about sexism, not about gamers learning to be mean to all people online.

I’m accurately identifying what the article’s subject is, how the commenter’s comment is only tangentially related, distracting and really missing the point. It’s a valid critique of the comment. Critiques can’t be expected to be padded, because it might make someone feel bad that they were wrong. This is illogical and anti-science.

“when Humvees with snipers on their roofs rolled into camp, a helicopter buzzing above them.”

“Officers wearing military fatigues walked through the camp with assault rifles and knives, ”

There were helicopters, but no snipers. Those were officers with machine guns on the Humber. And those aren’t assualt rifles but rather machine guns. Actually more powerful than assault rifles that are only semi-automatic.

So the author both over inflated and under inflated their description of the response. Which was way more overpowered than required for the eviction.
As a means to break down racial barriers and increase representation the movie nails it. As a movie, just a movie though? It’s just fine, very Marvel, very predictable, but not bad.
