By definition any kind of merger or aquisition is gonna get you closer to an anti-trust investigation.

That said: anti-trust is all about monopoly and abuse of monopoly power. Expanding into connected markets is desirable, abusing monopoly to hamper competition while doing so is illegal. Amazon is not a monopoly [https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-stock-price-not-a-mon...], and isn't expanding anywhere they'd become one easily.

That said, again: even if there is a marginal monopoly in their sprawling Empire, and they abuse it, and an investigation is carried out, and prosecution is recommended... Amazon has more money than god. Expect a half-decade long trial with multiple appeals and unsatisfying judments that are easily covered out of their cash-on-hand. Remember the DOJ v Microsoft? I can't even see us getting halfway to that kind of action (as lame as that judgment was... MS should have been split in three).
When you speak about executing code, then yes, out of the box it's limited to python. But literate programming is not executing code, but templating text and generating output-files. Leo can do this with any language, and has syntax-support for the most important ones out of the box. Additionally it's realtive simple to extend the executing-support for any language you want. Leo is quite extendable in python.

The article alleged they weren't going to work with her if they deemed her at risk of trying to take her life again. I think it's anyone's guess what is going on in her mind, given that expressing any doubt her is worth living would result in future refusals to help (such as in the event her body rejects this face).

As someone who sincerely has every intention of "being strong", my current behavior is indistinguishable from the times I was pretending to be strong due to the huge cost of behaving otherwise.

Hi @trzeci,

Author of the electricityMap here. The point of the app is to display how much CO2 is emitted when you consume from your power plug (hence the consumption point of view, and hence why we emphasise intensity and not volume). We're trying to give people an idea of when it is the best time to consume electricity, and what strategies are best to decarbonise rapidly.

Total volumes are also interesting (the climate cares about total volumes), but if you want to look at strategies you have to look at per kWh values (coal in a small volume is still a bad strategy).

It's a popular argument that "Asian values" legitimise China's approach. But it appears to be wrong:

> Findings from our multinational survey suggest no obvious relationship between Asian values and support for freedom of expression at the country level. At the individual level, the data suggest a positive relationship between Asian values and support for freedom of expression when Asian values are treated as a single concept.

Moreover, the existence of Taiwan, a progressive, wealthy liberal democracy full of Chinese people, would disprove that claim too.

I'm not asking them to impelment van Emde Boas tree because I spend countless of hours implementing and analyzing it getting my degree. I ask them to turn a string into a palindrome, or return the sum of all even index in an array of ints, ect. They're free to ask all the questions they like. It's a litmus test to see if they know simple programming, akin to seeing if a contractor knows how to drive in a nail using a hammer.

Is it high pressure while your future career is on the line? Absolutely, but they are not special snowflakes, and it's the case for any interview for any kind of position.

This is a point that a lot of people don't think about. America's gun laws make it a lot easier to attempt suicide, while putting less thought in about the act.

Regardless of the OP’s motives and affiliations, I still find this to be a valuable, informative resource. It answers many questions I’ve had, and it does so in a concise manner, with a nice summary at the top.

I’m not one to throw away a resource like this just because it’s been “tainted” by a little bias. The OP isn’t trying to hide the fact that he works for Hubba; it says it right at the top of the page.

I have no problem with people adding a shout-out to their own services as long as they’re contributing something and are transparent about their affiliations. You’re dismissing the information here based upon the author’s motivation and affiliation; such factors don’t invalidate the information presented, though they do warrant extra scrutiny.
It's kind of obvious to anyone who has used a photographic light meter. My computer screen has a peak luminance of about 300cd/m2. A super bright HDR display can achieve peak luminance of about 800cd/m2, which most people find uncomfortably bright in normal viewing conditions. An overcast sky is about 2,000cd/m2 and a clear sky is about 7,000cd/m2.

UV is vastly more damaging than blue light and monitors produce negligible amounts of UV.

I am a Senior Software Engineer in my mid thirties doing an Online degree at a local university of applied science in Germany. I am doing most of the work at home and just go there 4 times per semester and once for exams, but i have a lot of deadlines for assignments during the semester, while i work a fulltime job obviously. As far as i can tell, they apply the same standards to exams and grading than they do for normal on-campus students and I need to go much deeper into subjects than i would if i would self study for fun, to get good grades. I also need to study stuff that might not be on my list if i would only self-study, but in the end often is really valuable.

Maybe some people can go really deep into topics when learning by themselves, for me the fact that i need to pass an exam and want a good grade helps a lot to go the extra mile on some of the harder stuff.

So when someone says an Online degree equals "I read some books and here's a good portfolio of personal projects" i honestly get mildly offended.

Guns are usually instantly fatal and available in the home.

Overdosing is dangerous, but it's less lethal than gunshot.

Falls from high places are dangerous, but it requires the person makes a plan to travel to that location which doesn't fit for the rapid onset nature of many suicide attempts. Death by falls and fracture (these include jumping in front of trains) account for a small number of deaths by suicide. So, people can do it. But they tend not to do it. https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/birthsde...
This is such a cliché.

Do you think that the people who implemented the Windows Console, especially the people working on Windows NT, did not know about Unix? People try different approaches, sometimes they don't work out.

And it's not like Unix is the Word of God, anyway, it has plenty of flaws.

Because the failure rate per passengers transported is much much lower in a traditional transportation system.
All the passengers that they will move per day (and a bit more), with 187 travels, are moved in one minute by just two trains in an underground system.
So you have to multiply the risks by the increased travels needed to move the same amount of people.

Looks like this could be useful for webhooks delivery, a problem our team is working on at the moment.

We have 100's of tenants, each of which could get their own stream with some delivery guarantees set. If one tenant's endpoint is down or another tenant fills the stream with 1M messages, it should not affect delivery rates of other tenants. Seems to fit the bill.

I see the HTTP output mentions some retries, but I guess these run as part of the delivery step, blocking this goroutine as opposed to rescheduling the message? Sometimes it takes hours for clients to restore their receiving systems and it would be great if messages for past N hours would still be delivered..

Quite the contrary, not sure how this conclusion was drawn.

At the same time, know that every time a politician gets a bullet point on his re-election flier for "fighting the opioid epidemic" or "keeping our streets clean", there are real people in real pain who get stranded without the medication they need to function.

After the birth of my youngest child, my wife spent the immediate recovery period blindsided by pain because new regulations meant the hospital was unwilling to prescribe opioid medication for "routine" things like an uncomplicated childbirth. She didn't have to deal with that for any of our other children, because back then, the hospital was willing to administer these medications.

Medicine is already over 8% of GDP, but the political complex is not satisfied with that -- every day it gets harder and more expensive to stay on the right side of the law while obtaining necessary medications.

In Florida, it is now unlawful for a physician to write for more than 3 days of narcotic painkillers (if there are extenuating circumstances, this can be pushed to a week, but the rationale must be documented and approved by at least one other physician, iirc). If your pain hasn't subsided in 3 days, you need to make another appointment -- which means paying another copay, or if uninsured, paying another out-of-pocket office visit -- to get a refill.

If you require pain medication for a chronic condition, you now, by law, have to acquire a separate doctor who specializes in "pain management"; your family doctor is legally not allowed to write for more. Good luck finding an appointment at a reputable pain management clinic within 3 months.

This is not a simple thing, and these medications continue to be prescribed because they help a great deal of people, relatively few of whom descend into addiction (and note that many who do go to the streets are driven there because their docs or pharmacists got spooked by the DEA and cut them off, leaving them in mind-numbing pain, or because they couldn't afford the substantial financial and social costs required to get controlled Rxs renewed and refilled on an ongoing basis).
>And I'm pointing out that there's no magic in the tunnel construction. By the time you have added those safety redundancies you end up with something very close to a subway system, just with smaller carriages running on batteries.

What safety redundancies? You still haven't pointed out any required safety redundancies that would raise the cost of the tunnel any significant amount. Some RFID tags and low voltage wiring and fiber for a couple of wireless access points is still negligible cost compared to a full blown track-and-third-rail system. Your entire argument rests on "what if the cars aren't good at self-driving", but again, we already have vehicles with these technologies on the market that drive thousands of miles a day without issue. Tesla cars drive on autopilot on completely dark, unlit roads all the time without issue. They park themselves in tight parking spots every day without issue. They avoid collisions with other vehicles at high speeds every day without issue.

I'm no fan of Tesla, and I'll be the first person telling you that they fucked up bigtime handling the crash a few months ago, but that still doesn't change the fact that they have existing autopilot systems that are more than capable of handling this 'Dugout Loop' system.

As for your skepticism that the tunnels will be cheaper, go do some research on how expensive it is to build out subway tunnels and the components of those costs. The Dugout Loop system eschews significant amounts of the major cost components.

If you're skeptical because we're talking about Musk and his penchant for cost overruns and missed deadlines, I'd understand. But if you're skeptical because for some reason you don't think a barebones concrete tunnel (even with some additional wiring and networking components) is cheaper than a full blown subway tunnel and station, that's just because you're being stubborn.
No, you don't need a gun, but it makes it a hell of a lot easier, and the extra effort involved to do it without a gun often stops people.

By your behavior you are putting your employer in a situation where he breaks the law. Mention this to your manager, companies are not above labor laws simply because "its IT, everybody does that". They can be sued easily by disgruntled employees, and for huge piles of cash.

Not everybody does that, and if they do, there is appropriate compensation (cash, extra time off and/or both). Good companies simply don't, they realize you can easily walk away to next company. I never ever worked for an employer like that for example, and that's 15 years and 6 employers in 3 countries.

You're selling yourself cheap. Have some dignity.

> I've heard from many devs that Go was the reason that made them appreciate proper error handling.

I agree that in some way, this is actually a good reason to support Go's tedious way of handling errors.

Yet, it's akin to avoiding functions (because stackframes are magical), or "for" loops (because their condition block is magical), or threads (because: magic). There is only so much a non-toy programming language should compromise in order to accomodate beginners. People may draw different lines here, but Exceptions (in garbage collected languages) are so completely unmagical, that the line should definitely not be drawn here. In fact, they do exactly what return nil, err does, thousands of times, over and over. In Go you can enjoy writing that code yourself. Also, Go's language designers accepted defeat when they had to add panics. I bet that beginners now just make the mistake of ignoring them instead.

Why Document360 Is Better Than INTERCOM Articles for Knowledgebase?
I don't think it has anything to do with valuing human life or not.

I'm sure we both agree the US values human life, but the government is more than willing to accept the death of a 16 year old American citizen when trying to target his father during a drone strike.

I'm more surprised that they would reveal their hand so suddenly. Maybe I watch too many movies, but I would think if you have exposed the entire network, then doing counter-espionage would be the smarter tactic.

An Australian perspective on nuclear..

Basically that whenever someone posts pro nuclear responses to climate change issues they are directly or indirectly (and it doesn't really matter which) supporting the coal lobby.

Thus argument might not be directly applicable where you are from, but chances are its probably not far off.

>> Shopify is the best

It depends on the size of your store. Once you get to a certain size (5-6M) it makes sense to build your own that matches your company’s internal business processes.

Shopify is also very US centric and most of the channels don’t work outside the US. Eg eBay, Amazon, Twitter etc.
Show HN: A free and open-source command line note organizer
Hello,

Motivated by this discussion https://goo.gl/te4BFv, I have created a simple (free and open-source) command line note organizer. The tool, called npmnotes, take a folder with notes (written in markdown/texdown) and creates a webpage that lets you search and browse through the notes. You can then publish this webpage or use it locally.

The result (built with npmnotes) looks something like this https://npmnotes.org.

Currently, this is just a (working) prototype and I plan to add more features soon (based on the feedback I get).

What do you think of it?
You're right, but it's worth remembering that the distinction appears to be eroding. I was going to mention the same case that my sibling, throwawayt1894, mentioned.

Drone strikes against US citizens in a country not a war with the US is at least worth thinking about. I can generally buy the ends-justify-the-means argument (or at least consider it), but the press secretary's response to this always rubbed me the wrong way: 'I would suggest that you should have a far more responsible father...'
That's because Paris surrendered and didn't get bombed during WW2.

The problem with nuclear power is that it's too expensive unless you choose to simply ignore the long-term cost of the nuclear waste problem.

At this point it makes more sense to invest in solar, wind power and energy storage capacity to reduce CO2 emissions.
This. Either you check in a DSL, or you try to compile the DSL to boilerplate in your head and check that in, then everyone has to try to read the boilerplate and try to infer what the DSL would have said.
I agree with the "underlying point", but it simply isn't what the sentence says. If you're willing to put that much effort into interpreting it, practically any statement could qualify as profound.
