>Google has the responsibility to their shareholders to enter new markets

I don't think so. I think Google has the responsibility to make money. It could hypothetically be the case that entering a new market would cause a loss of money, and thus Google shouldn't enter it. Potential reasons it might cause a loss of money include employees quitting and bad publicity. Uber entered China and lost money, and eventually had to leave.
Yeah, I'm never been a fan of rent control (and voted against San Mateo Measure Q), particularly its effects on market rates for newcomers.

However, recently I've been starting to realize that the market is already distorted by Prop 13, so perhaps rent control might simply even the playing field between renters and owners.

In my ideal world, Prop 13 wouldn't be a thing, and homeowners would be advocating for heavy housing development around them to keep property values low (and hence keep their tax bill from going up).
I wish more developers could do "investigation" like this for a new languages they learn.

For me, the main difference between Go's way of handling language and the rest of mainstream languages is that it makes error handling unmagical.

It literally says – errors are just like any other return values. Let's say, if you have function `sqrt` and return a value, and then call this function – you probably is interested in this return value and should handle it somehow (or mute with `_`). Now, the same applies for errors - if function returns the error, you likely to think how to handle it – do something in place or propagate up the stack.

There is also a cultural moment to this. As we mostly learn by examples, and most Go code has proper error checks (not equal to "proper error handling" but nevertheless), it makes newcomers to do the same as well, even while disagreeing with Go's way. I've heard from many devs that Go was the reason that made them appreciate proper error handling.

And honestly, I feel this too, and I think the reason is that in Go it's too easy to "handle errors properly". I never had this feeling with languages with exceptions, where I had to read whole books (!) just to learn how to properly use them and be confident in the way how I handle errors. (this is just an example, not the spark to start return values vs exceptions battle, just in case)

If you are sitting on piles of cash, you are basically admitting that you no longer know what to do with your business, as you have zero ideas in how to invest that money and make it grow.
Error/Either monads are the perfect middle ground IMHO. You get errors as data types and an efficient way to abstract away the boilerplate associated with it.
Isn't that Bezos' declared goal? To have a cut from all economic activity.
PR piece for some romantic comedy on HN front?
actually i like to have lots of partially overlapping windows. every window is exactly where I left it and the frequently touched ones will have a small bit visible that i can grab on to bring the whole window to the front. if i only care about part of a window, then i can efficiently arrange my windows so only the part i care about is visible (while still interacting with it since I have focus-follows-mouse).

it's far more useful than a taskbar or expose, since they keep moving what i'm using. the taskbar is a particularly poor design since all i have is a title and at that point i'm just guessing and hoping.

tiling window managers and raise-on-focus systems don't particularly appeal to me because they require me to see the whole of a window. tiling window managers probably have a way to ensure a window is exactly where i left it but it seems antithetical to the alleged advantages. (doesn't "automatically manage your windows" mean "automatically decide where to put a window, and move them around based on the size of other windows"?)
There might be truth to this article but its bias and demeaning tone are off-putting. It makes it hard to take the author seriously.
> In, say, 20 years will some meaningful percentage of all the money I spend somehow funnel through amazon?

Amazon already has 5% of the total retail market in the US. I consider that a meaningful percentage.

More anecdotally, one of the discord servers I'm in recently had a trend where people shared their total yearly spend on Amazon. Upwards of $10-20k were not uncommon. (The data source is definitely biased though, as it's more of a hobby-related discord == upper middle class segment).
+ Good name

+ Good package design especially color palette

- Expensive for packaged food

- Nothing that stood out (from comments) as strong differentiator from competitors (that they can not do)

- Unclear target market, this is what I gathered from comments, people

* Who don't have access to Indian restaurants

* Who don't have time or know how to cook Indian food at home

* Who don't have access to competitors products

** Hard to make case here as all major retailers sell one or other Indian food packages, and for everyone else there is Amazon Prime

* Who have access to restaurants, have time or know how to cook but would instead prefer to spend about same amount of money on packaged food as they would by ordering it with food delivery services.

I might be completely wrong but IMO this is commodity business, unless you are building robots which can cook millions of packages of custom made Indian food for everyone.

Perhaps it's not, but my gut feel is that those other systems mitigate failure by using a smaller number of large, reliable and expensive carriages. Whereas this system is going for a large number of smaller, cheaper(?) skates. It just feels like it's more susceptible to failure?

Those newer sourced reporting adds the "media credibility", reduced the noise, but did not increase signal. Thus multiple sources equals one source to me. Source is not some kind of score that can be accumulated, if you believe source quantity than quality then you are fallen into the power user trap.

I like to analyze the structure & dynamic of a topic, not the number of "sources".

I ended up with one for a time due to insurance hassles. She was great. One of the best experiences I've had.

Having struck a few discussions about this, I've settled on being gender agnostic. Good doctors can consult where needed, and good patients can communicate well enough to indicate when needed.

I had the discussions with others, some who have strong gender preferences, some who didn't. I wanted perspective. Just an inclusive body of opinion to consider, FWIW.

All doctors are high value people. They have put in the work, and while they vary as people do, I would not want discrimination limiting them. They went in to fix the people, and the vast majority of them are all about doing that.

The flipside of easy-to-learn is there's no payoff for getting better with the language. Your code will always be exactly as tedious as novices' code because they'd rather conserve compiler cycles than spend them to amplify programmers' work.
I remember a paper on a close subject - "Revealing hidden services by their clock skew" [1] tl;dr: performing operations on the hidden Tor nodes causes CPU heating, which causes OS clock drift due changing CPU clock circuit properties.

As for AVX512, I'm not sure - IIRC the Intel CPUs throttle (or lower frequency) automatically around the AVX512 execution for TDP reasons.

A search engine as an app?

You type some phrases into an app, the app displays results in a webview, you click the SERP, then what? a browser opens?

Why don't you use the browser on your phone directly for searching?

That's why I think Google is working on some ROM feature, not an app. Or maybe there are some misudnerstanding from the "source"

If it's an app it's doomed to fail.

Let's imagine a syntax-sugared Go...

Every function has a hidden "err" return value

Every function has an "exceptionExit:" block, by default it does just "return err;"

After every function call, an automatic
"if err != nil {goto exceptionExit}" is added.

You can add an "exception" block to a function, it replaces the default.

Now you have function level exceptions in Go just by syntax sugar, without stack unwinding and without requiring new compiler functionality, just syntax sugar.
Smaller tunnel is the big one, I think. The seattle tunnel is 57-feet wide. The Boring Company tunnel is 14-feet wide.
It doesn’t. Military and politicians can now control how much hate there is via slight moves here and there. The end seems when otherwise smart people would stop claiming things like “war is human nature”, “don’t look at the military background of good deeds” and would finally open their eyes to see what psychopaths they are electing on and on. Until then it is a positive feedback loop.

And this is not specific to US, if that matters.

The particular behavior you mention can be modeled by a Semi-Markov Model. In these, the time you stay at a given state can be an arbitrary fixed distribution. In a regular chain this time is geometric, so memoryless. But other distributions, with Gaussian like tails or power law tails would produce the effect you want.
This is how we were taught it in our Linear 2 class; the professor used static pictures via chalkboard, but it was still super helpful. I feel like most of the benefit is gained in drawing the graph and talking about "hopping between states". Animating it might help some people who think more mechanically.

I was also confused at one point why someone would go hunting until i had it explained to me: it's a challege at its core. People go hunting because even with rifles it is still hard to identify a target and without alerting it, fire. And not miss. You can be out for hours and spend counrless hours at the range and lose all that time in 5 seconds if you mess up. Its a rush and as for everything its not for everyone but that is a bit of the mind of a hunter.

If you have a flat failure curve, sure. If you have the more traditional bathtub curve, after the initial problems, failure rates should be much lower.
A buddy of mine similarly did digital signage for a mall in central Japan. The most important sign just aggregated Twitter accounts controlled by employees of the retail shops. By far the most successful emergent behavior: "Do you cut hair for a living? Do you not have someone's hair to cut in next 30 minutes? Tweet that the next person to walk in gets 10% off their haircut and it will show up on a sign that a hundred people pass every five minutes."

(I suspect that many people who cut hair in Japan do so on the US model, where they are independent contractors of the shop who "rent a chair" as opposed to salaried employees. It is to their direct advantage to maximize throughput, in a way that it is not to the direct advantage of e.g. someone who works at McDonalds to maximize sales of burgers.)

I think in Pilot Wave Theory it is considered a physical wave of some sort.

> According to pilot wave theory, the point particle and the matter wave are both real and distinct physical entities (unlike standard quantum mechanics, where particles and waves are considered to be the same entities, connected by wave–particle duality). The pilot wave guides the motion of the point particles as described by the guidance equation.

People routinely and unremarkably carry weapons upon their person at DEFCON. It's a reasonably common event, to the point where early pictures of DEFCON events sometimes contained more guns than laptops. The yearly shoot is a social fixture.

Guns are an easy example. Lockpicks are another - the UK does not smile on them. I'm saying you cannot readily relocate DEFCON to a randomly selected European conference venue without fundamentally transforming it into something that is no longer the DEFCON we know and love.

To put it another way, your suggestion and incomprehension underscores that you understand DEFCON as a conference. An event where people talking at halls of other people is the main thing that matters. I'm trying to communicate that it is a convention and cultural touchstone enabled by the unique confluence of laws in Nevada and the willingness of casinos to cooperate with wealthy groups.

It's very easy to suggest that an event be moved somewhere else. Why not move Jeremy Corbyn's next rally to, I dunno, Canada? There are halls for rent there too! It's perhaps more subtle to understand that there are other things than bare physical requirements that tie an event and a place together.

I don't want to get involved in politics. But I have to point out "Taiwan is literally the Republic of China." is 100% correct. The official name of Taiwan is Republic of China (ROC). On the cover of Taiwan passport, you can only see Republic of China. The interesting thing is the claimed territory of Republic of China includes the China mainland and Mongolia, not just Taiwan island. The official name of China mainland is People's Republic of China (PRC), literally same to Republic of China (ROC). It's too complex for western people to understand. Just refer them as China and Taiwan.

I am from China mainland, having friends and colleagues from Taiwan. Don't want to see wars happen between PRC and ROC.

One thing I feel is missing in the world is a standardized way to talk about chili levels, like a more accessible Scoville scale that includes things like black pepper.

The lack of standardization makes it hard to know what you'll get.

Even in India, from region to region what is considered mild or spicy varies, e.g. a spicy dish in Pune can be less hot than a "mild" dish in Hyderabad.

It's a pretty sweet system. I use it to design puzzle books. (Crisscross, Cryptograms, nonograms, fill-a-pix, etc.)

There is no greater time-sink than writing a true program in Latex... I generally write a C++ program to write the latex/Tikz code using the most basic primitives. I would prefer to do layout using a pure C++ 2d library such as SFML and then export a 'screen' as a PDF. But, to date we haven't been able to match the sheer 'beauty' of Latex/Tkz output.
