The economics of delivery are determined by route density - how many packages per mile you can deliver.

Who will have higher route density ? UPS, which delivers orders for everybody wanting to ship to your neighborhood ? or Walmart, that only ships from Walmart, with it's measly share of e-commerce ?

It was probably always a risky proposition.

So what's the ideal way to test a risky proposition ? issue a big press release.

And now i'm curios: how is the stock price affected from this press release, and failure ? is it possible, that this kind of tactic(very common in big companies) is beneficial to the stock price , or maybe to the compensation of managers ?

> sit on your Walmart couch, in your Walmart clothes, eating your Walmart food and watching your Walmart TV.

That's basically how I exist now (excluding the "Walmart" prefix).

I sit, I eat, I play video games, I'm somewhat dressed. What do you imagine people with a "nice looking house with their nice looking family" do on the weekends? The middle class doesn't have some secret club we all attend.
I'm curious how this would work out at scale. Would everyone just get a long descriptive TLD and then use that directly? While that would technically work I imagine it would confuse people who are used to treat the address bar of the browser primarily as the search box. So I'd enter "flowers" and expect a Google search for flowers, but since the TLD flowers exists and resolves to something you end up on some dude's blog. The alternative would be to use the www subdomain, but apart from looking odd (www.flowers? Something my mom could accidentally come up with, forgetting the .com - so maybe not that bad after all...) since we're not used to that now, it also reverses the current trend of dropping the www.

So of looks like this could also mean some changes in how we actually use the web, not just how DNS is managed.
Very cool! Did you build this completely by yourself?

I understand what you are saying, places are whatever people agree to call them, but I don't doubt that real estate agents, developers, etc are eager to have places called by new names when they are gentrifying the area.
How are losses multiplied? (Assuming a typical nonrecourse home mortgage.)
my 2 cents,

I don't think this post will age well.

The team I am on is currently swinging back towards more traditional agile after going too lax on planning, retro, estimation, etc for a while. These "rituals" are effective ways to ensure a good base level of inefficiency. If you're feeling like the agile rituals are becoming a waste of time, I would try out doing longer sprints before dropping them entirely.

Cutting process relies on good habits from the developers/whoever on the team, and habits can degrade over time. Devs can cut corners without formal process, because creating meetings and facilitating process that doesn't formally exist can feel like just another burden/task switch they have to take on.

> discovered a behavior in materials called cuprates that suggests they carry current in a way entirely different from conventional metals such as copper.

Well, cuprates are copper-based molecules, so a better wording would be "they carry current in a way entirely different from metallic copper or other metals."
> in a fair and competitive market would it be impossible for a company to grow to a $1T valuation?

It depends on your definition of "fair". In my view, such a market would be regulated as to avoid that companies become too big to the point of turning into black holes that suck everything around them.

Money attracts top talent and allows companies to buy out possible competitors. That in turn generates more money.

I'm just saying not saving data is simpler than saving data and avoids the complication. The average user doesn't need 99% of the data that google saves about them and would have no reason to store it themselves. You can have phishing protection and the world class security team while also not saving the unnecessary data resulting in an even more secure model. Protonmail seems to be just as secure without requiring data collection, for example.
This is so beautiful, definitely discovery of the day (at least) for me. Thanks for making it!
Hey JP - great work, love this! We also believe that asynchronous video is a way better experience when it comes to stand ups. We've been working on a similar video product (https://agile.trytape.com/) that tackles all of Agile so it's great to see more activity in this space.
Standups are one possible solution to a variety of common problems when managing engineers:

- Many engineers prefer to solve issues themselves rather than ask others for help. Often newer engineers don't know when to ask others for help. Standups help to foster this communication.

- Reading code is generally harder than writing code, especially when written using a framework that the engineer is unfamiliar with. This leads to a tendency to declare existing code tech debt and want to re-write it, especially by less experienced engineers. Sometimes this is warranted but often it is not. Standups help guard against this by allowing more senior engineers or managers to catch this early-on.

- There can be valid business reasons to get an unscalable feature out in ~2 weeks rather than scalable feature in ~2 months. Standups provide a quick way to explain the underlying business reasons to the team.

- Business and contracts do require dates & deadlines. Even though it is not perfect, there needs to be some attempt at predicting when a certain feature can be delivered. Jira, and ticket tracking is important for this.

Note he actually made a point of making it (mostly) compatible with a RasPi Model 3 enclosure. Note that this has very different design choices compared to a RasPi, probably most notably the PS/2 and RCA connectors, which suggest the idea to being able to use it with older TVs or the like. As a "learning platform for underprivileged children" it's highly likely that things like RCA video and PS/2 keyboards are incredibly easy to pick up today incredibly cheaply: Everyone wants to get rid of them.
Or you could buy one of the kits that has everything you need, including a copy of Rasbian on the included uSD card.
He starts off with specific facts, but within 3 or 4 paragraphs it is all supposition. By the midway point, it's supposition based on supposition. At the end, its a dozen layers of supposition.

Also doesn't help his case that he misunderstands the role of equity in the Federal Reserve. Unlike equity in a private company, equity in the Federal Reserve is not an ownership interest. It's essentially a group insurance policy similar to Lloyd's.

I have been a hobbyist investor in the market since I was 20. Take my thoughts with a grain of sand as I by no-means am a professional. Full disclosure; I am also bullish.

While I will agree the market has been on an absolute rip roaring tear the last 1 1/2 years, YTD the S&P is only up 5.75%, which is marginally above pace for the historical average. 2018 has been much more volatile, with big swings, and until the last couple of week rally we've been trading nearly sideways.

The good news is there are fundamental economic reasons for the rally. Unemployment is at 10 year record lows[1]. The Trump tax cuts really improved fundamentals for companies, allowing many to repatriate capital, increase hiring, and ramp up R&D spending. The GDP growth for the second quarter of this year was an astonishing 4.1%[2]. The US is growing faster than China, and comparing markets is winning the "trade war".

Have some high tech growth stocks gotten ahead of themselves? Absolutely, look at their valuations and P/E. With that said, are we on a the verge of a recession and economic collapse, I'd argue firmly no. There are many sectors that are still undervalued in the market, chiefly banks.

I don't think it does. Quoting from the study:

"The most intriguing finding from this study was the significantly increased risk of dementia among abstainers, including long term abstainers and participants who became abstainers, and that association was only present in those who abstained from wine.

Abstainers were mainly women, had lower education and physical activity, were obese, and had a higher prevalence of cardiometabolic risk factors, all associated with an increased risk of dementia,11,12 which could explain the differences; however, adjustment for confounding factors did not alter the findings."

It's not clear what the intersection between "long term abstainers" and "became abstainers" is.

Prolog and Erlang in the same thread - is it Christmas already? Two of my favourite languages, both hugely undervalued.

I remember the moment I first "got" Prolog. Having only programmed in C/C++ to that point, it took some mental contortion. But the "oh!" moment was amazing. Backward chaining & logical variables are just so incredibly elegant. I still use transitive closure as an example of just how powerful the language is:

path(A, B) :-
link(A,B).

path(A, B) :-
link(A,I), path(I,B).

That's it. Stunningly simple.

As for Erlang - as others have noted - it was conceived right from the start as a language for concurrency. It's had 20 years to mature and robustly solve problems that inherently single-threaded languages have barely even recognised yet (C/C++/Java/C#/python/javascript/rust/...). Supervisors / error handling and threading are two notable examples. It makes me sad to look at the spread of "async". An inelegant sticking plaster that adds yet another concurrency construct and turns it into a tactical decision - on every method - and at the call site too.

Erlang shows that a single, well-conceived and executed construct is both possible and preferable. Lovely.

And the US casualty estimates for that invasion were staggering. In fact, if a US soldier gets shot in Afghanistan today, the Purple Heart they receive was created for the invasion of Japan. After Korea. After Vietnam. After Grenada, and Panama, and Serbia, and Kuwait, and Iraq, and Afghanistan, we're still using Purple Hearts that were made in 1945 to cover the expected casualties from the invasion of Japan.

About the USSR: The deal was that they were supposed to attack Japan three months after the surrender of Germany. They did so to the day, on August 8, 1945 - two days after Hiroshima.

You can interpret this two ways. One is that the US wanted to send a message to the USSR. The other is that the US wasn't sure that the USSR would do what they said, or wasn't sure that it would be enough if they did. And in fact, there was a mutiny in Japan to disobey the emperor and keep fighting - even after both atomic bombs and the USSR attack.

So saying "that was just politics, sending a warning to the USSR" is very much not warranted, given the situation at the time.
Yeah, Rust usually eschews the sort of non-local reasoning that would require. It would be harder to implement, and harder for the programmer to think about too, especially with changes from afar as you say.

Also, auto-`Deref` can make this even more surprising! If you have some `foo: Rc<Foo>`, then `&foo.bar` borrows the whole struct via `Rc::deref(&self)`. You can sometimes get around this by taking a full dereferenced borrow yourself -- `let foo: &Foo = &*foo;` -- and then work with partial borrows from that. Same goes for `DerefMut`, or really more so since `&mut` is exclusive.

PS/2 keyboards/mice might be harder to find than you'd think. New ones are hard to find and while there are literally millions of old ones sitting around disused, their very lack of value means that the secondary market is not strong. Not many people want to bother listing a $2 used keyboard on eBay.

I'm a tech guy and could scrounge up a dozen old keyboards in a few minutes, but someone who is just starting out probably won't have a collection of old hardware to pull from.
I'm not the OP but I have found this menu option to be incredibly useless. Google Maps has strangely lost the ability to point to my address and has refused to fix it for many years now. What's most frustrating is that the "Send Feedback" option offers no way to specify that an address is in the incorrect place, I can only select roads. I have resorted to trying to explain the problem in text but they never got back to me.

Every time a HN thread like this pops up I write about my annoyance with this and nobody has any solution apart from this suggestion. It shouldn't be this hard. Open Street Map is a breath of fresh air in comparison.

> It's perfectly feasible to get universal coverage and sane costs, while preserving the existing insurance/provider model - thus minimizing political resistance from both the industry and the socialism-phobic public.

Single-payer has had more public support (usually majority public support) than other routes to universal healthcare all the way back to and before when Bill Clinton campaigned heavily on health care reform in 1992; Democrats keep putting up complex, unpopular insurance industry kickback schemes instead, which end up easing Republicans effort to kill them either in advance of implementation (as with Clinton's effort) or afterwards (as with the ACA's progressive dismantlement since Obama left office.)
The list of suggestions do not match the headlines.

Introducing new technologies to replace old ones, preferring services to local hosting - I just do not agree!

I use the oldest technology I can get away with, and host everything on dedicated servers as it is often more performant and cheaper.

Simplicity needs bounds. The suggestion of reuse also needs that: If you end up storing binary content on SQL to avoid having to roll a file hosting, you are taking the simplicity mantra too far.

Could you please clarify here, Dan? I don't believe I'm making comments about his person at all but about his statements and style of discourse. We aren't anonymous posters here.

I find the content of his statements consistently divorced from reality and he also operates sockpuppet.org as his personal website. I'm not calling him something that he doesn't already clearly embrace.

I won't disagree that my comment was hostile, but so is disagreeing with someone based on his distinct, personal interpretation of the meaning of words. So is saying that anyone who is even slightly a bigot is also a white supremacist. If you have to ban me for this, Dan, I'll just take it. If we can't have meta discussions about how we discuss topics here, then it's just a popularity contest and "harmony" is more important than ideas. What's the point?

I agree about the saltiness, but not so about BTC being a bad bet, considering it held great promise for a relatively small investment and, I myself, was sold on the way BTC was presented by Satoshi.

I've noticed similar things. One of the things that bugs me the most in my organization is that managers (product owners, non-very-technical VPs) there's a push to split larger items into bite-sized chunks which can be neatly distributed amongst developers and neatly tracked by PMs. These smaller items are now inter-dependent, which result in a lot of context switches and cache misses, even on an individual scale, not to mention they are often misestimated, and sometimes flat out wrong since they come out of planning meetings rather than thoughtful, careful research.
