In machinery stainless steels have universally poorer mechanical properties vs non-stainless alloys - a reduced corrosion rate is about the only benefit, and even so, it's still just "stain-less" — not "stain-free" — over the timescales of civil infrastructure, it would likely suffer damaging corrosion at some point.

The original article wasn't talking about issues caused by storing too much program state in in-memory structures (variables/objects) though. It was talking about issues introduced by interactions with an external stateful system--a database.

Bugs related to in-memory state that gets out of whack are definitely a hassle--especially in multithreaded situations--but are, in my experience, only the tip of the iceberg. Once you have that kind of issue under control (either by choice of platform, discipline, linting, or unit testing) there is a huge category of problems that can arise from the remaining surface, categorized loosely as "as soon as your code leaves its own memory space, it's part of a distributed system, with all the hassles that entails". Proclaiming that FP techniques resolve or even significantly ease that category of issue seems debatable at best, and a false promise at worst.
$15/hour for 560K full-time employees would be $17B/year. Amazon shares are somehow a $1T commodity for speculators but the actual business clears $3B/year, so depending on how much of their SG&A today is labor they might truly be unable to sustain it.

Customer satisfaction improvements cost money, which drives up prices, which loses customers. The highest customer satisfaction results tend to be associated with luxury brands.

The wisdom of annoyances that increase profit-per-customer yet lose some customers all depends on if it results in a net gain or a loss.

The mobile game ecosystem (pay-to-win) and the dominant web content model (ads) both suggest that some degree of annoyance is the more popular path.

Hmmm that's weird. Someone edited the title because I submitted it as is.
Huh, got through the whole article without the author referencing the origin of the term “bucket shop.” Nothing new under the sun when it comes to market manipulation. I like the idea of a whole new generation of crypto market manipulators rediscovering techniques that haven’t worked in eh real markets in 100 years.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bucket_shop_(stock_market)

The transaction goes "in the bucket" and is never executed. Because no trading of actual securities occurs, the customer is essentially betting against the bucket shop operator in a game based on abstract security prices.
All my experience shopping at grocery chains in the US and elsewhere has impressed upon me that these workers represent the absolute classic, textbook case for unionization.

Yes, including Whole Paycheck[0] as well as Trader Joe's and Safeway and Von's and everybody else.

While I can imagine Amazon having a loathing of unions, if they really want to be in this space they will sooner or later have to contend with the fact that this is an industry that needs a union. And I think, at obvious risk of being wrong, that the US is going to become once again more union-friendly in the coming years.

So maybe a very friendly, not very confrontational, laid-back and smiley group of workers flirting with unionization might be a way for Amazon to put a toe in that water without overcommitting. Much as the WholeFoods acquisition was per se.

That zip file is actually the one I mentioned in my comment here (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17930684). It was the initial seed for the site. They actually had quite a bit of duplication that I removed by using content hashing.

I'll consider adding a big "download archive" button. Just curious: do you have any immediate plans for the archives, or just want to keep a copy for backup purposes?
There are laws against naked shorting, even when you've personally determined that the stock will tank as evidenced by the fact that an idiot is buying it.

There are arguments that naked shorting should be allowed, but it isn't allowed right now.

The article you linked to doesn't seem to fit with your claims and I don't believe your claim is accurate. Everything I have seen indicates we are seeing a lot more people live into their 80s and beyond.

I'm not going to try to prove that. My understanding is that is common knowledge.
Well, of course, not having to deal with distributing and handling the firmware in your OS is a very nice bonus. However, I could have worded myself better: FSF's RYF certification actually isn't about "downloadable firmwares", it's about "upgradable firmwares". IOW, if the user is able to install the software by themselves, the preinstalled one must be free, period - and no closed alternatives can be advertised or suggested. Redpine releasing a tool to flash the proprietary firmware would likely make the Librem 5's RYF certification void, which is a thing that IMO isn't helpful to anyone involved.

Openmoko already went through that route, although AFAIR there was no formal RYF programme yet back then. Freerunner was all fine from FSF PoV until Openmoko released a firmware upgrade for the Calypso baseband that fixed some ugly bugs, suddenly making it not free enough for FSF. Which is especially funny considering that it basically opened the way to run OsmocomBB on that thing.

Isn't this basically describing a counterparty? If they decide via internal algorithms that you are liable to lose money, they will pocket your trade and...well, not credit you 10% of the money you lost.

I guess it's sorta like the brokerage having a right of first refusal on all your trades - they have the option to take the other side of the trade first in exchange for a 10% premium. If it's clearly disclosed, I don't think it would be illegal, but it's also not a particularly new concept.
Very true.

I just cancelled my prime account after multiple "annoyances" of packages not coming in 3 days, being dropped at the post office instead and getting delayed a day, and the straw that broke the camel's back - no compensation for missed delivery dates. I had to twist an agent's arm like crazy to get a month of prime.
I've noticed most of the current gen college kids are very sparing of their fb use (at least the computer saavy ones). It seems to me (disclaimer: completely anecdotal) that the previous gen and previous-gen^2 (ie circa 2008-2016) generation of college-age kids were the ones who were much less restricted in their use of fb.
It's heartwarming to get feedback like this. Thank you for this.
I guess we agree to disagree. I just don't like calling them the "other" Romans, or even referring to them as the Byzantines who were carrying on the torch, when they never considered any such thing, and would never have referred to themselves as such.

Then again, despite being an engineer by trade, I'm a historian specializing in Late Roman Antiquity (specifically, the Eastern Empire from Leo the Isaurian to Alexios I, so I'm probably a little pedantic about it.

Did you look at the bug report? It's rife with valid examples of why this behavior is wrong on Chrome's part. For example, when "www" isn't the first subdomain, Chrome still elides it.
Also, many of these points are applicable to any job, tech or not.

Not to just be mean, but taken without further elaboration, this looks like petty contrarianism. It reminds me of the disturbing, poisonous following that so-called "banned" TED talks get from conspiracy-minded people based on nothing but the fact that it was banned. I'd like it if you'd elaborate more on what made you say it.
I was shocked at how obviously insincere servers were when I first went to the US - at least in my home country sure you get grumps but when someone gives good service it feels like a connection with them... not a faux polite scripted exchange.

I prefer it - but fast food countries value consistency over higher highs and lower lows.

If you’re out longer than a few months they cut your payout severely. Some friends sailing with us had to fly back every few months and check in.

As far as the amount to save, I've always figured that about 7.6% will get you the same pre-tax income at retirement assuming net growth of 7% (after 45 years of work -- age 20 - 65) minus FICA (since you don't pay FICA on 401k withdrawals or investment interest income). You can also probably get by with less in retirement, if you have a house paid for by then and don't drive as much. But you will have to pay some amount a month for medicare, so that should be factored back in.

If you assume 5% growth, then you will need to save about 14% of your income. Here, I'm using the average returns of the stock market minus inflation should get you 7%.
A) Consider any sharing platforms where unrelated bodies coexist with distinct subdomains under a common root domain (e.g., Blogspot, Tumbler, etc) While "www" is probably a reserved name and mostly not of practical concern, "m" may be a practical issue.

B) Consider subdomains for test-purpose like "www.test.www.example.com" (now displayed as "test.example.com", which is actually not even the root of the specific subdomain).

C) Users unsure, if they are on the full-featured or a reduced mobile site, when "m" is hidden.

D) I may actually want to have a service agnostic default host at the root and subdomains for dedicated servers (like "www", "ftp", "mail", "stun", "voip", etc). Maybe this one just returns a short text message by design, if accessed on port 80. Not every domain is just about the WWW. (Edit: While we may assume that such a server would forward in practice, this may be assuming too much.)
This is notable because in the United States the form of leverage common else where, a contract for difference, is banned. Outside America it is much easier to run these kinds of bucket shops. The key is offering leverage, Kelly's formula suggests that stocks should be traded with a rather narrow band of leverage, under two in most cases. Yet these shops always offer leverage ratios more similar to forex. You would be hard pressed to convince me that ten times leverage should ever be used with equities.

Meanwhile forex markets are even worse. Leverages there in the past were over a hundred. Which explains why there is so much money to advertise forex. Shady online ad markets are filled with ads offering high leverage online only forex accounts. One can be fairly sure those shady forex accounts are nothing more than bucket shops.

In general leverage is a mistake for most investors. Yet the appeal of hitting high returns with low investment (retail investors using leverage tend to measure return with no relation to risk), mean far too many retail investors are playing with options than is safe.

Since the "abuse" in abusive behavior online is not defined as physical abuse, but rather mental, e.g. harrassment, I don't see how there could be any room for doubt that this horrific, insane lie is abusive to the many people affected.
Thanks, I added Set into the rough vanilla comparison. It's slightly better than a vanilla object, but it's still almost an order of magnitude slower, and is most likely still going to have issues with GC overhead when storing millions of pointers. GC issues blocking the event loop are not fun when you have a hash table with billions of elements.

Also, while a Set can technically receive an Array (or iterable) upfront in the constructor, this requires you to have your Array available upfront, which is not always the case, and an Array is also not meant for millions of objects in the first place. For example, AFAIK (and I may be wrong since last I checked) but V8's Array will switch mode and degrade into an object at around 10,000 elements.

So with Set (or Map) there's still no production-quality way to allocate and reserve capacity upfront by the number of elements or size in bytes.

Please note, the `vanilla.js` comparison in the Motivation section is not meant as a benchmark, but just to sketch the principles outlined there.

You don't actually even see the 10× differential with `vanilla.js` because it only inserts 4,000,000 elements - I would have set it higher but Set and Object start taking forever or cause OOM crashes beyond that.

More accurate, in-depth performance numbers are here: https://github.com/ronomon/hash-table#performance
Archival is a weird animal that doesn't behave like other things in tech. It's like scrapbooking. It doesn't have to be perfectly organized or available online. The archivist just has to be extremely consistent throughout his or her life, in order to make the files last for 50+ years, to be passed down to another extremely consistent person, and so on. Imagine WWI photos. In 1920, why would anyone keep those around? They had no message to portray, it was just a horrible recent event that you'd be called weird for trying to keep. Yet the few people in the chain of ownership were important for piecing together the photographic history we know today.

MIDI files are somewhat similar. Only a small population care, an even smaller population care a lot, but archivalists shouldn't be the one to determine to keep them around for 200 years. They just should, and forget it.

So yeah, that's pretty much what I do.
Fair, as long as withdrawal rate isn't based on an assumption of 6% annual growth of the underlying investments.
This is market making and is done in currency markets. Your broker/dealer might be the other party taking the other side of the trade. The argument over there is that as long as you trade major currencies, the market depth and liquidity will ensure narrower bid-ask spreads and that you will not get too raw of a deal.

This is different because it seems the account holders were tricked into believing they were buying/selling securities, which are highly regulated activities.

Well, that's the idea behind breaking it into equivalence classes. Even if the input space is infinite - say, the set of all tuples of two natural numbers and a string - you should be able to determine that the domain can be carved into only a relatively small number of sets that are interesting.

If you find you can't, well, that's what's great about figuring out the test cases first - because now you know that you've got something complicated, and you have a chance to figure out how to make it simpler.

Then, ideally, you don't have to even worry about coming up with a mess of individual test cases. You arm yourself with a good QuickCheck style testing framework, so that all you have to do is write down your invariants, your equivalence classes, and what sort of output to expect for each one, and you're mostly done. Just a few hand-coded unit tests to explicitly call out the edge cases, stuff like that.

Obviously this s a much bigger job if you're limiting yourself to hand-coding an explicit test method for every single test case. Don't do that. There are so many higher-leverage tools - data-driven tests, property tests, fuzz tests, approval tests, etc. - to use in addition to the basics. It's very much worthwhile to get good at them. Even if you don't always use them, learning how to is good practice for learning how to carve a big problem up into manageable pieces.
AFAIK most servers use keep-alive, so it's not like a new tls connection is made for each resource.
I'll second the comments about pricing. I attempted to negotiate with PagerDuty (after the sticker shock wore off), and their sales team said, "We're Number 1, so we don't really negotiate. Just pick a plan with less features or designate some users as read-only."
I don't see ISPs starting DOH servers up within the next 5 years, so either way, you'll be performing dns lookups to a central server.

The article doesn't draw any conclusions, but I'm really curious why these two are distinct outliers (they have a graph with slight bumps/troughs at either end)
