I shop at Whole Foods quite frequently. There isn't some conspiracy or nefarious intent in calling Whole Foods "Whole Paycheck" -- it's usually used amongst Whole Foods shoppers between themselves when they describe their shopping experience (...in my experience)

If it is still tough for you to grasp, I will break it down for you really simply.

Whole Foods sells the same shit you can now find at most any other grocery stores (even Food Lion and Walmart in some markets) at stupid high prices. It's colloquially referred to as "Whole Paycheck" because yes, it is a funny jab at the fact that you spend much more shopping for groceries there than any other grocery store. That's basically the end of the story. I can buy organic milk, eggs, bread, coffee, apples, bananas, some vegetables, and coconut water from Whole Foods and also Kroger (or Harris Teeter in my market) and I will easily spend at least 10 more dollars for those items at Whole Foods.

That's why it's called "Whole Paycheck" -- yes not by "everyone" but by enough people that random internet strangers that never have met before are agreeing that is what it is referred to at times.

The average quota is 1.5GB/day (for the latest recharge, they provided 3gb/day). That's a lot !

Some side effects of Jio have been :
1. average media consumption per user, specifically video(youtube, netflix, amazon prime) has gone up drastically
2. voip calls(audio & video calls on whatsapp, telegram) have gone up drastically !
3. A lot of users, especially youngsters i know, dont download content anymore, they stream it !
Its an interesting usage behaviour shift !

I think Jio's end game is content - getting Indian users to pay for content will be tricky though !(there have been very few successes - unlike the us, the average indian user doesnt like paying for digital subscription content ,

So on one hand, this this this. I left web dev 10 years ago for data precisely because I saw that I was being asked to learn complexity for complexity's sake and no notable benefit to my users.

On the other hand, the rise of cross-browser and cross-OS compatibility is really the root cause that drove a lot of this complexity from jQuery to React to even WASM, so you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

Wow. My wife often has to deliver the news that someone’s baby has died or pregnancy has failed, she always has a bad time afterward particularly as it happened to us twice too.

Reading this article really helped me appreciate more how much it takes out of the person delivering the news. I mean I have had conversations with her about it but she often can’t talk about it in detail.

Thank goodness her work is progressive enough to pay for monthly counseling so she has someone to really open up to about this stuff.
How These 3 Animal Totems Relate to My Writing Practice
I think one of you is talking about San Francisco and the other Berlin.
In one article about Dwarf Fortress they talked about how they would write stories, then pull apart the stories to figure out how they are made and then how to make them randomly. It's a bit different from physical/realistic inspiration, and likely to lead to more fun in the results.

If I vaguely remember, there's this sense of major plot points, and then everything else is connective tissue. You can imagine the same thing in a city design – what are the parts of a city that make it distinctive, or fun, or notable? You randomly choose some distinctive design elements, and then fill in.

This generator has a bit of that. I like how the rivers or an ocean can dramatically redefine a city in this generator. But there could certainly be more. Interesting topology. Highways, instead of a couple equally-sized roads. A scattering of distinctive building forms, like a military base, convent, marketplace.

>Taxis apps are a very solid business model.

Subject to certain assumptions of how much customers are willing to pay, price/volume sensitivity, the geographic areas where the company can operate economically, customer acquisition costs, how much drivers need to make to work for you, fixed vs. variable costs, etc.

I suspect that to survive the "ride sharing" app companies will end up significantly increasing prices when it becomes clear there's no magic bullet on the horizon.

ADDED: Which means of course volume will go down and, almost certainly, valuations. But there is almost certainly a business model for some scale at some highish price in sufficiently dense areas.
That article is, well, wrong.

If all you rely on is NAT, and you turn the firewall on your router off, it is possible for outside attackers to send unexpected packets to through the NAT device and right to your endpoints.

The targets are limited to the entries contained within the NAT translation tables, but that's still a pretty leaky "firewall".

NAT is just not a firewall, all it does is translate addresses, or in the case of PAT, Ports+Addresses. It does not filter the packets it receives, it just translates them.

Either explicitly as part of business deals, implicitly through direct IPv6 working better than IPv4 Nat, or a mix through weird NAT policies like when they were dropping 'idle' tcp connections after about 10 seconds for a couple weeks.

> Stop and think for a second that Tesla is one earthquake away from no longer being a company.

This is highly unlikely in the short term and in the long term they'll be building more plants. It's also something anyone can insure against by placing a bet that an earthquake will destroy their factory in the next five years. You'll presumably get 50:1 odds or better (a good chunk of which is the vig), which means the insurance would cost less than 2% of the sum you want insured.

> they have about a year of cash runway left( optimistically)

Unless they turn a profit (or come closer to it), which it's plausible they're about to do.

> You can't just collect insurance money and build a new factory like you can with a house, this is a many year project.

No, but you can buy insurance in the amount of the value of the output (or of your shares) rather than the cost of building a new facility, if you were really that worried about it.

> And the most worrying thing for them is that their next car will compete head on with Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and GM. That will be the first time they've had to compete head on with a competitor.

The entire EV market is production capacity constrained and will be for a couple more years at least. They can't lose sales to Mercedes or BMW EVs because they'll all already be selling 100% of the EVs they can manufacture, all of which are coming at the expense of petrol cars.

What makes you think that http requests are the only thing domains are used for? Mentioned elsewhere in this thread, Active Directory requires that the A record for the bare domain be pointed to the PDC.

If you're serving email from example.com, for reputation reasons you should have the bare domain's A record pointed at your primary MX.

I understand that here on HN we're focused around web-based companies, but for every other corporation, there is a plethora of other services served out of a domain -- of which web/www traffic is maybe 10%, if not less. Everything from email to voip to directory services to vpns to crazy internal apps all rely on the corp's domain/domains, and you definitely should not be pointing your bare domain at your web server (which, chances are, is some contractor-built page living on GoDaddy completely outside your own infrastructure).

In a typical company, you'd have some server serving example.com doing some or all of the above. It would then be running a light http server which accepts requests on 80/443 and permanent-redirects them to www.example.com.

This is why www matters.

> which level of government is responsible for enforcing each piece of the directive

At least that's an easy question to answer: the member states.

A directive obliges member states to introduce local legislation to achieve a particular effect. Usually it's transcribed pretty closely, but some states may use their sovereignty to impose additional restrictions (if they're not precluded by the Directive, a different directive, or human rights law).

Generally if you want to speed up reading a Directive you can skip all the "Whereas" clauses, they're not binding but do specify the reasoning behind the directive.

Hi prlambert! Could I run a few Gmail bugs/feature improvements by you so you could run them by someone if appropriate? I've struggled to find a way to contact the Gmail team.

- Say you have a thread with 1 important+read email from weeks ago, and 1 unimportant+unread email received just now. There is a bug in Gmail conversation view in that it will neither appear in the "unread" section nor in the "important" section. The entire conversation is deemed important, so it's categorized into the "important" section rather than the "unread" section, but the conversation doesn't appear at the top of the section because the new email isn't important; the conversation date is grabbed from the earlier message, which is pushed way off the page since that message was from a long time ago. The end result is the user sees a baffling "Inbox (1)" without seeing any unread emails on the inbox page. Which is at least noticeable if you're the kind of person who regularly has "Inbox (1)", but if you're the kind who has "Inbox (5198)" then there's no way you're ever going to notice that email.

- Sometimes I deem an email important, but I don't want it cluttering up the Important section after I've handled it. But marking it as not-important would send the wrong feedback. I feel like this might not be an uncommon use case. Do you guys have any plans to address it?

- There's no way to keep an email marked as "spam" while still moving it out so as to save a copy. It will automatically get marked as "not spam". Could you guys please have a way to look into this?

- Related to spam but unrelated to importance: There is a bug where, if you have a filter to "never mark as spam", it will also apply the Inbox label. This breaks other filters that "archive" that same email.

- Unrelated to importance & spam, but in the new version of classic Gmail (I'm NOT referring to the new Gmail here) changing conversation view reloads all of Gmail. This wasn't the case before. Any chance they could fix this? It would be awesome if they could also provide a way to change email importance per-message rather than per-conversation.

- Also unrelated, but while I'm here: any chance you guys could add a "send-now" button for Undo Send? It makes life easier for the few occasions when you really want to send a response immediately rather than in 30 seconds.

Thank you!
> GPDR was about protecting individuals, this is about protecting corporate interests

Or how about both rooted in a power-grab by an aspiring superstate that has long been resentful of the influence the US and it's corporates has over it's Internet-dependent citizens?

Lack of highrise developments is what makes those areas attractive in the first place. Berlin has plenty highrise residential, yet Google and the like are decidedly avoiding those areas. Converting more of the cityscape into the kind of area where neither Google nor the protestors would want to be would make the situation worse, not better.

Also, it's quite possible that you widely underestimate the existing density, this is no single family sprawl we are talking about.

In all fairness, that is NYC (and mostly Manhattan in particular) which is very atypical. On the other hand, the cost structure seems insane and, like many "businesses" in .com 1.0, you have these services that are being subsidized until they "make up for it in volume" rather than simply accepting that their cost structure makes them relative luxuries--as in the case of black cars in Manhattan.
>And I don’t need to. I (and anyone proficient in Haskell, really) can infer your competence with somewhat reasonable confidence based on your comments, like this one.

And this is the most hilarious aspect of Haskell community. You assume that the only reason people might not like the approach is due to their sheer ignorance of the wonders of the type system.

>People who’ve just read LYAH are able to contribute to production codebases already, no problem, but they still may not have even understood basic concepts, such as functors or monads (this is firsthand experience from work), let alone monad transformers, arrows or lenses - which I consider to be a good thing. Based on your comments (and not only this thread here), this is where I’d place you in terms of competency, but of course you are more than welcome to correct me.

Nowhere did I state that I have trouble doing any of those things. What I said is that I have not found any tangible advantage from doing it. I found that this approach results in code that's less direct and thus harder to understand. This is similar problem that lots of Java enterprise projects have where they overuse design patterns.

My experience tells me that the code should be primarily written for human readability. Haskell forces you to write code for the benefit of the type checker first and foremost.
My experience with MTurk is that 3 isn't enough runs if you need the data to be correct and can't afford to pay someone (who ISN'T from MTurk) to validate every entry.

We regularly ran into these two situations:

- All three workers got different answers

- Two of the three workers agreed on the wrong answer

I think five or more runs may be necessary for data transcription on MTurk.
Correct, there is zero relationship.

There are already several established organizations that hold and manage billing for data sets within specific domains. An example is the LDC (https://www.ldc.upenn.edu/) which hosts huge amounts of natural language + voice data in many languages, submitted by universities around the world.

Personally, I think there is a big downside to attaching it to billing. The process is quite difficult to obtain (financially and logistically), especially if you are outside a university. Even within a university, procuring data could take months of bureaucracy. Also as an independent student or developer, this data becomes largely inaccessible.
1. Google a regex for URLs.

2. Google some tool that, given a regex, generates strings matching the regex.

3. Combine the two.

4. If (more likely: when) you think the generated URLs need to cover some part of the URL space more, tweak the regex.

Instead of regular expressions you could also use a BNF grammar for URLs and a tool that generates valid strings in that grammar.

That's not terribly surprising, fascist ideologies are typically very family-centric, to the point of actual Darwinism/eugenics.

> ...to fight against the skyrocketing rents and to open up the space for something better.

They lost me right there. If they want to fight skyrocketing rents they should push for more housing. If they wanted the space to be used for something else they should have bought or rented it themselves. Protesting Google does nothing to change these.
$20/hr was a contract rate. Your 1/2 million presumably is a salary (base). Not the same thing. $20/hr is roughly equivalent to $20k salary. $200k salary is reasonable for a competent developer who can hop on adding features to Gimp.

In my reality no developer (even a sh*y one) makes $20k.

The fact that Uber has several of orders of magnitude more users, and that there cultural shift has been so great that cities around the world are struggling with how to regulate ride hailing services, suggests that there is something a bit more than "consistent name and brand" that is driving users in droves to these services where they didn't use your "one lady answering a phone" service.
