I recently bought some new wireless headphones. After seeing a minimal amount of bad reviews, I bought them. When they arrived, I opened the package to find a note which said if I gave them a five star review, I could use this code for a 40% discount on any of their products.

Pissed, I wrote a one star review and how this was explicitly against Amazon's rules. It was up for a few weeks, then it just disappeared. I figured it would at least generate an apology via email, or something from Amazon about doing a better job of taking care of companies who do stuff like this. Never heard anything from either the company or Amazon.

I guess it was easier to just take down the bad reviews or keep a few negative reviews so it doesn't look completely nefarious. Seeing as how both companies and Amazon has a vested interest in keeping companies on board, I can only assume they're passively allowing this to happen.
I used to work for f2p game companies and they also used this as a standard trick. On top of suppressing negative reviews they would only ask you to rate the game immediately after something good happened in the game. You leveled up, or got a good prize, or whatever. They would craft these entire on-rails onboarding experiences where you seem to win a jackpot early on, then ask you for a review. They'd build out these flows and user test them and iterate until it psychologically produced the intended ratings

>Journalists being critical isn't them launching a war, it's them attempting to leave no stone unturned.

When you only do your job some of the time, it's reasonable to question your motivation. We've had years of Tesla and Musk puff-pieces and it's only in the last few months that journalists have decided to leave no stone unturned en masse.
I have used the canvas a lot (bought the book too!) and found it an useful tool to externalize the thoughts in my head and make them concrete on paper. It's not a silver bullet though and you can create amazing canvases that ultimately lead nowhere.

I believe the reason why I'm not using the business model canvas anymore is because I've internalized most of its core principles and find it much easier to write down the core aspects of a business model in a text file. Much easier and less meaningless meta work (finding the right online tool, strictly following the canvas when it doesn't make sense in many industries/niches).
Written from scratch? Maybe. But they sure as hell didn't get it done without stealing some key "recipe ideas" from VMS.
I am not sure millennials don't trust pensions; I think we never had the choice. It is also wrong to assume you are in control of your 401k, since for most people a 401k will be invested in mutual funds managed by the same businesses that manage pension funds. Some of those funds have absurd expense ratios that erode retirement savings.
Nothing wrong with that; I just take issue with people who read light fiction but go on talking how books are better on the mind than TV. That kind of reading isn't. Textbooks are.

Yes! While the technique I used in this post is pretty simplistic, you could use a similar method to solve what's generically known as the [speaker recognition problem](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_recognition). That said, this is an open problem within audio research, and there are solutions much more complex than what I have here.

An example of one open source speaker recognition project is [bob.bio.spear](https://pypi.org/project/bob.bio.spear/), which I haven't tried, but looks promising.
There's a "building from sources" section on https://ferret-lang.org/, but I could not easily detect where the source is on github.

But, I am not a finance person.
You can add another build step right after the `tsc -w` compilation phase, which takes your .ts files, parses them to find our your types, and emits runtime code that checks your types. That's what you're describing that TypeScript should be doing on its own. But I don't see why you'd want to do this instead of using io-ts? This is more complicated overall.

As of today, the Moves app is dead, but here’s my alternative
Hello!

I would like to share the alternative to the great Moves app (RIP). Lately, I've been tinkering on a similar app, also used for building daily dairy based on activity tracking. It does not have cycling/running detection yet, but maybe someone could find of interest: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/aidlab/id1123339447?mt=8

Features:

• 24/7 activity and biosignal monitoring through iPhone's sensors and (optionally) compatible Aidlab Chest Strap.

• Automatic Tracking: Records daily walking.

• Places: Recognizes places in your daily life.

• Storyline: Visualizes your day in an easy-to-read timeline.

• Motivational notifications.

Disclaimer:

* No ads.

* iOS only.

* It's free.

* It drains the battery a bit.

* Can be unstable for iOS 10.x and iPhone 5.

* All location/activity data are stored locally only.

Yes, this was my point. You expressed it better, thanks.
Absolutely. In no way would I argue "It's what the West does, therefore it's right", and being aware of the "it's how we do it, so it's right" bias is worthwhile. There are definitely equally viable alternatives to many cultural norms. Unmarked pits in the road is not one, and I find the desire to treat all alternatives as equal, and a matter of culture, unsettling.
Closure is only good in programming if the answers it gives are always useful. Otherwise, you run into the same non local error problem that plagues nulls: the error still happens, but now it happens at some distant usage site, far away from the cause.
Yes, apparently its too shocking to believe that Amazon will lie in its reviews, but its perfectly reasonable that Walmart PR staff would troll HN and lie in comments.
Basically, yeah, most students go to Realschule and then dive into a job. General school (Hauptschule) however is the easiest. During Realschule I did take the general school exam (basically, I got a diploma for the general school graduation without going there) and it was relatively easy despite never going there. And obviously general school won't enable many job options.

Job related school is 50/50 some just go directly into a mentorship or similar where they are taught on location from a senior in the same job.

>That's rationing!

Of course it is. Universities don't have infinite amount of seats and I'd rather have people who are willing and capable of being there than people who can pay for the privilege of being there.

>Hochbegabtenstudium

That is very very rare, I haven't met anyone who qualified for it. It also requires having finished 10th grade, which means you're 17 or 18 old at that point.

From the Realschule you'd take a tertiary school (there is two choices I went with College of Further Education) with or without tertiary language.

Having a tertiary language enables university, without you can only go to universities for applied sciences.

From the Gymnasium you can go either.

Off that tangent, the goal of the hochbegabtenstudium is to enable people who are smart to finish their education early so they can be more productive for longer in society (and don't sit around in the classroom being bored)

>When Sanders talks about education, he's talking about the equivalent of Gymnasiam followed by university.

It's probably the result of german education but I don't think everyone should need or want to go to University.

Normal school should be sufficient to earn you basically any job and from Realschule I know several people who went directly into the banking business or mechanical engineering.

Of course, not all jobs are enabled by the average education but you can usually get a job in the field you want if you show enough elbow grease and have a Realschule diploma.

I think Germans also lack some of the ambition to always want to get the highest degree of education even if they don't need it. People I know from school generally tended to be very realistic about which job they wanted, what options they had and usually picked the lowest one that would get them the job with good probability.

>edit I didn't spot

Those numbers would align with what I know, people who do the Abitur usually want to go to higher education (though not all)

> we've had years of Tesla and Musk puff-pieces and it's only in the last few months that journalists have decided to leave no stone unturned en masse

You're complaining about the disease and then complaining about the cure. When Tesla was flush with cash and the recovery was young, the operating and financial envelope was wide. Tesla had the room (i.e. capital and investors' patience) to screw up.

Elon has said he won't raise more capital. He has more investors than before. Many of them have been holding for years. In that midst, he has announced ambitious (i.e. expensive) schedules. That combination creates a precarious envelope. Combine that with being later in the economic cycle, and heightened attention is warranted.

My brief experience with MoviePass when they first opened...

I've typically gone to Alamo Drafthouse. It's a somewhat upscale theater chain if you're not familiar. Pairs of seats share little tables, you buy a ticket for a specific seat, and they serve meals and drinks during the film.

When MoviePass came out I doubted they'd include Alamo but looked anyway. The local Alamo did indeed show up among the MoviePass theaters so I signed up.

When I tried to use it, I checked in advance because I've learned that the good seats get reserved early so unless it's a mostly empty showing, getting a ticket at the last minute can relegate you to the eyestrain seats in the very front couple rows.

The app said I could only get a ticket if I was geographically close to the theater. I can't reserve good seats well in advance. In fact I can't even head to the theater knowing I have tickets. I have to go there first hoping that a) I can get tickets and b) hoping I can get good tickets.

The idea being, I guess, that MoviePass' arrangement with Alamo is purely about helping Alamo fill any seats that may still be unsold when the movie is about to start. And then maybe Alamo can sell those people some food and drinks.

This might work for someone who will stop by a theater often, has flexible plans, and sees a lot of less popular showings. It's a total non-starter for someone like me who goes only occasionally to mostly highly anticipated films and always as a date with a significant other who cares a lot about having a plan in place and getting good seats.

Oh well, what did I expect. It's a cheap monthly subscription.

But the final frustration was trying to quit. I recall the app making this rather difficult and non-intuitive, and then warning that if I quit I wasn't going to be permitted to sign up again.
Same as in the US. Your appointment won't be on time and you will have to wait.
I wonder if amazon is struggling with fake reviews and would rather have false positives on the negative side of the spectrum. To a seller there's no diff btwn their product getting a positive review and all their competitors getting negative reviews. A bot can just as easily do one or the other. But forcing the bots to be positive review bots benefits amazon in two ways. It makes all the products on their site look purchase-worthy and it contains all a product's review-warfare onto the product page itself, so they can clean it up later if they want.

Why are “baby boomers” looking to destroy Tesla? What evidence is there that there is actually a generation of people opposed to Tesla? Fossil Fuel supporters don’t have any hatred of Tesla — perhaps they just object to the unfair tax advantages that make a Tesla cost less than the market would actually support.

Maybe there is some meat behind these allegations; it seems that Musk has been losing his cool recently; like with the Thai cave incident when he called one of the rescuers a pedophile. Could be a sign that things are not going well.
Jet.com and/or Walmart.com?

I have no idea of that's true but certainly there are competitors. And Walmart is certainly know for shady tactics.
Just in case: My web server kind of went out in a blaze of glory earlier today when the link popped up here. It's a small linode, but I made some adjustments (mysqld, how does it work?), so it should be less bad now. Sorry about that!
A trend that's been growing for quite a (long!) while now is exemplified by this article: "Tesla did not respond to Ars’ request for comment on Sunday."

Who in their right minds realistically expects any organisation to respond to some random journalistic enquiry on a Sunday?

The other major variant of this shyster tactic is along the lines of, "Company X failed to respond immediately when asked for comment." No company is able to respond immediately, particularly not on an issue that's likely contentious. Any response would need to be run by their PR and legal people at the very least.

It's a cheap and nasty way to make companies look/feel uncaring about the issue being reported, but imho it does nothing but reflect poorly on the reporter and publication using these smelly tactics, and leaves me wondering what other agendas they may have running.

My first job was working on RSX11M (predecessor to VMS) on a PDP-11. One thing that I remember is that the virtual address space of a process was 64K (i.e. 16 bit address) but the machine had 256K of RAM. I never used VMS as by that time I'd moved from minicomputers to microprocessors.

Most likely it was the server being very confused and not understanding that you could put the port in the Host header (very legit thing to do and proxies do it a lot)

So it likely treated it like a bad host header.
>Also if Batch C is being sold or something similar (to batches), a better idea would be (IMO) to have the product owner comment on the review, saying we have fixed this in batch 2 or batch B or something

That is a good idea, but that still does not fix the aggregate data. When someone searches for "Coffee", the aggregate number of reviews is still considering that low-star review. So the "Seattle Coffee Beans" overall rating for Batch C could be a 4.5 / 5, but for all batches is a 2.5 / 5.

The easiest way to fix this is to remove old, out-of-date reviews. This should apply to positive reviews too, but I have no idea if Amazon is doing this.

Another approach is what Steam did - have a long-term rating and a "recent" rating. See "No Man's Sky" as an example [1] - a product that started poor, but improved over time. This helps prevent product brigading and gives vendors an opportunity to bounce back from negative reviews.

I've used them collaboratively quite a bit. They are a quick way to talk about different players you are working with and talking to, and the layout of the canvas gives you a common vocabulary to talk about how you are viewing different players. Early on at my current startups, we were doing quite a bit of discovery and talking about a lot of different organizations and a lot of different relationship options, and the canvas gave us a way to keep track of that while we were working on other things.

We still keep one up to date and use it for on-boarding and documentation of learning. It's not a heavy-weight process. Super light-weight.

If you get too formal about it, it's a waste of time, like UML.
> I think if you don't rely on memory but examine the history as Jonathan Edwards has done, you would be surprised to find that the late 1990's was, indeed, a big cliff in terms of application development innovation.

The phase change was later, and it wasn't so much a cliff in innovation but a change in focus. There are plenty of programmers “using languages and tools designed for simplicity of learning and use in solving relatively pedestrian problems” still, and plenty of things being built to support them—they're the people doing CRUD apps in Ruby/Rails or building utilities for simple problems in Python that, as Edwards described being historically the case, the people doing “systems programming” continuously look down on.

(There's also a bigger huge group of people doing what is more like what was actually described as application programming historically, that is, solving relatively pedestrian problems in languages designed for industrial use rather than ease of learning, like the people building the guts of enterprise applications that don't require scale, and are largely CRUD plus business rules, using C# now, or the people doing LOB apps in any of a variety of [often proprietary] languages historically.)

> Before the web was popularized, designing a layout meant a using a simple layout tool.

One might argue that the complexity of design and the complexity of programming are different things, or one might observe that graphical UI builders exist for the Web (including as part of platforms designed specifically to support “application programming" for the Web), and that people doing the less sexy kinds of programming use them all the time.

The agenda was to promote radical transparency.

Check out 'Inside Wikileaks' by Daniel Ellsberg, a WL cofounder who had a falling out with Assange and founded his own radical transparency platform called OpenLeaks. Brigitta Jonsdottir used to work there too, an Icelandic green.

Wikileaks stated policy and concept used to be:

- Receive, in a way that keeps the leaker anonymous, any and all state secrets that are of public interest

- Publish them after checking authenticity

This constitutes an attack on secrecy as such, not on any particular country or entity.
