This is just the latest push of their "AmazonSupply" and "Amazon Business" systems dating back to their 2005 "Smallparts.com" acquisition.

Like Grainger, they used to be well-curated sub-sites where you could do your parametric sorting and filtering to drill down to "the" O-ring or other part you needed. But also like Grainger, they've fallen behind on their curatorial efforts and now it's more difficult to locate the right part among all the noise.

To supply a B2B part like an O-ring, you need to categorize it. You need to ask every. single. distributor. the same set of questions - composition, diameter, thickness, firmness, temperature rating, oil resistance, etc. Then allow your users to parametrically search and sort to drill down to the part(s) they need.

Digikey has this internalized - If you're building a web store, go to Digikey and pretend you're an electrical engineer. Find, say, a 22k surface-mount resistor in an 0603 package, 0.1W or greater, cut tape form factor, in stock, 5% tolerance. Boom, done. Now find that on Amazon. Allow a customer to come to your site with a list of requirements who wants to find a product on your site and try to make it as easy as it is on Digikey.

Ebay does not have parametric search internalized, nor does Craigslist - but they're much more seller-focused than Amazon. Grainger does not, and they're loosing business because of it. McMaster Carr curates their offering down to one distributor, which makes it really easy for me, but is a rather hamfisted way to solve the problem. Still, I'll always start my search for McMaster-supplied stuff on McMaster. Alibaba does not. Newegg used to, but they're losing the curation battle as they follow Amazon's model of 3rd-party distributors listing whatever they want whereever they want. Amazon does not have this internalized.

Amazon has been trying to have their cake and eat it too: They want to provide a curated section of their site that's easy for customers, and want to make it easy for sellers to sign up and list products. If you require each part to go through an onboarding process and fit somewhere in the hierarchy, you increase the friction massively for sellers. As a customer, I really wish that they would do so everywhere. If they want to just do this for the subset of customers that aren't willing to sort through the mess, but still allow vendors to come in droves with poor-quality categorization, it will still be hard to use and people will choose specialized distributors that are willing to do the work.

In certain situations, especially ones related to trauma or an altering event, it may be possible to remember it faintly. But there are many factors that may have helped you remember this.

Have you spoke about it at great lengths when older? Is it often brought up about how they took the cast off? If so, you’re looking at the idea of explicit (declarative) memory—the storing of facts and events. If over the years you are constantly reminded of this event, it is more than likely that you’re trying to generate a (possible semi-accurate) image or memory of that particular event.

As far as your second comment goes, mother tongue and languages are different all together. When you learn as a yongue age, your cerebral cortex is still developing and your mind is absorbing everything like a sponge. As you learn these words, continue to use them, that language and those procedures are going to get stored in your long-term memory and then you’ll be able to recite all of these words and form sentences without thinking twice—something we would call implicit memory which helps us with procedure memories (riding a bike, writing, etc.).

I see nothing unethical about that, but there are legal considerations. (Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice.)

If you’re using existing code, they may still have a stake in the IP. You may need to make sure they either license it or turn over ownership to you. In the latter case you may want to set up an official bill of sale and pay them something for it, even if it’s only $1 each.

AFAIK there’s no legal ownership of the idea if it hasn’t been patented. But your options may also be restricted if you signed a contract that includes a non-compete clause.
Fixation on anything other than housing supply is fixating on irrelevant noise. That includes density...there are plenty of dense cities that nonetheless restrict new supply and are thus unaffordable. Other affordable first world cities have accomplished the same thing as Tokyo via other means, including social housing (Vienna, Singapore), sprawl (Houston, Louisville), and density (Chicago, Montreal).

There is one thing they all have in common: they all allow housing supply to meet demand. Anything else is a distraction.

This is just social darwinism. Not rly a recipe for sucess I can tell ya.
I saw this on display at the NYC maker and also asked about what it would take to run full speed. He said the gate capacitances of discrete MOSFETs are 100's of times greater than the tiny ones in a chip. This would require traces that could handle dozens of amps and a power supply for the whole board that could provide over 100 amps. So not really feasible - but then again, neither is building a circuit board to duplicate a chip
The N-type enhancement mode MOSFETs it uses require a positive gate-to-source voltage to turn on, and are turned off by pulling the gate-to-source voltage down to 0v. The gate itself forms a capacitor which must be charged to allow the gate-to-source voltage to increase and the MOSFET to turn on. Running a higher voltage than the standard 5v (SOT-23 small signal MOSFETs often can handle 20vgs, depending on the specific part) would allow the gate capacitance to charge much faster and the MOSFETs to turn on much faster. However, the clock speed will still be limited by how quickly that gate charge can drain to 0v in order to turn the MOSFET off.

That's right; so why would Japan have developed exclusionary zoning, when the question doesn't even arise that the vast majority your neighbors will be other than Japanese wherever you go, with the help of national policies that help keep it that way.
Adding on to this: liberal use of Do Not Disturb and practicing good phone etiquette in social settings.

A good set of wireless headphones with a mic and liberal use of the voice assistant makes it so you don’t even need to look at your phone for about 60%-80% of what you want to do, so if you want to put on a podcast or some music without the so-called risk of feeding your addiction to some game/social network/bs app, there you go.

Oh and don’t have apps installed that you’re not going to use, put everything essential on the first page and bury everything else, only using search to call them up.
I’ve always hated them, even before the Internet was huge. I’m a fairly social person and I’m okay in crowds, but once the number of people I’m trying to interact with exceeds ~10 it’s just too much for me.

The worst are work “parties” and happy hours where everyone feels forced to go, no meaningful team building really happens, and the cliques in a company become more evident and visible.

Plus I’ve lost some hearing due to one too many loud metal shows, so party conversation is pretty stressful.

> I beg to differ. Most of the arcade games of yore were gated on skill; you could avoid having to pop in another quarter if you played well enough, and that was where the fun came from.

Sure, but that's a rather charitable way to describe it. What you're talking about is basically breaking or mastering the system by sheer force of will. And there is fun in that. But how much did it cost you to get to the point where you were able to play longer than a few minutes?

Arcade games were specifically designed to extract as many quarters as possible from players. That was the stated goal. If a game wasn't able to extract N quarters per hour, it didn't last long.
Raising a child is a job. And not just any job, a stressful 60+ hour a week job.

Too bad the open source world has consistently failed to create a good UX... not because it can't but because the OSS community is still full of people who have a fetish for complexity and who actually look down on good UX.
Indeed. Of course it was limited to a very small and weird collection of “users”.
The right way to do this is to make sure that a small amount of money will be sufficient.

You want to redevelop a one story Sunset place into three stories? Meet the building codes and you are good to go. This would open up development to small contractors and small design/build architects. You wouldn't hire a city fixer + a lawyer + a pr person, you'd just hire an architect and a contractor. Each unit could be built much more cheaply.

Right now you could take a $1 million Sunset house and convert it into three $800,000 flats in a wood frame house. Developers would be DELIGHTED to do that.

The current system adds 5 years and a million dollars to each redevelopment. Developers don't want to build stuff for rich people, they want return on investment. They are as happy making 10% on affordable housing as making 10% on luxury housing.
Japan and China also have one national building code. A very different issue, yes, but should aimpkify the challenge of construction technology (in the US building codes are localized)
This metric is comparing returns to capital to total returns to labor, not the median returns to labor. Median wages haven't been doing too well recently due to rising inequality but gains by the best paid professionals would be enough to make up for that on this metric except for rising housing costs.

Right, seeing by example is how we learn most basic soft skills. But if you're staring at your Nintendo 3DS (or Sega Game Gear like I was gifted as a 5 year old) when your parents drag you along to parties or to the grocery store or wherever, then you're not going to learn anything at all, except maybe how to beat level 2.

> Less tech jobs than SF, but still plenty.

It's not just about number of tech jobs, but the quality thereof.

These days, programming is such a needed skill that coders are almost like accountants, practically every business above a certain size needs at least a few for internal tools. But that kind of work makes you a cost center, with the attendant technical and cultural problems.

What the major tech hubs offer is an abundance of even high quality programming jobs, in a wide variety of fields.

"Fixation on anything other than housing supply is fixating on irrelevant noise. That includes density."

That's like "fixating" on the money supply. Sure, having more of it lowers prices. The point is: how do you get there? What are the side-effects of your proposal? These are not simple questions.

Fixating on zoning, at the exclusion of all other considerations, is a facile answer.
You have to do this discretely, but I keep a notebook in my pocket and I will (sometimes) write the person's name down when I get a chance along with a note about who they are. This is even easier in smartphone age as everyone is checking their phones all the time anyway, just note the name there.
Netherlands has a lot of issues, but setting up a company is not one of them. And taxes are high, but as a company they are good on an EU scale (and going down) and far easier to deal with than in, say, Spain.

I have no clue what you are talking about with those products though; that's the case in many countries. In the south of Spain I pay more for a fridge or a bath than if I import them from the Netherlands. NL is an expensive country for some things. In the US you can get Bengay cream (i have no idea what that is by the way) for 5.84 but university and healthcare can bankrupt you. Give me NL every day as long as that lasts; these consumer products are not fundamentals while education and healthcare are imho.
"Hopefully"? How?
That's very interesting. I've frequently had to take time off lifting due to injuries, many of which never really relax properly. Eg a tense spot on my back I'm still having massage/physio done on.

Do you do barbells lifts at high rep, or other things?
Also, how many days a week do you do it and for how long?

Shouldn't cancer rates among humans increase drastically in the 21st century since we shower the entirety of the US in 2G/3G/4G? Cancer statistics year over year show a steady decline of new cases even with population growth increasing, I assume this would be different with the hysteria this paper is claiming.

No company with that sort of attitude. While time and attention are finite, good organizations can find better ways of distributing work and responsibilities so that one's job is not the preempting force in one's day to day life.

Lots of teams could be productive with smart people that work 3 10-hour days each week.
And despite the fact that the, supposed, point of these sorts of systems is to stop "short term thinking", VW still opted to cheat emissions standards to get ahead.
Started coding in Lua 2 months ago and instantly fell in love.

Higher order functions, coroutines, the ability to return multiple values from a function, no coercion on comparison operators make coding in Lua a breeze.

You can learn most of the language within a day.

Ofc not everything is perfect: The package ecosystem is growing but still small compared to other languages.
Anonymous function definitions are pretty noisy.

Still I think it's one of the best designed languages you can find.
LSD does not come from fungi. It is derived from lysergic acid from the ergot fungus (the reason why witches have brooms - check it out), but it is synthesized

Lysergic acid related compounds are not unique from fungi tho. LSA is found in some botanical species like morning glory.

But I digress
I recommend 5/3/1 for everyone, especially with some lifting experience. Very easily sustainable long term because training sessions are short and sweet. Minimal risk of injury because the warm-up sets are built-in and there's no fatigue from long workouts. It can be easily combined with other sports like running or martial arts because there's plenty of time for recovery.

That story's a lot more complicated, and a lot of it can be blamed on Evan Spiegel and Snap. https://www.youthhealthmag.com/articles/31188/20160109/snapc...

Interesting follow-up there is that Facebook, in lifting so much of Snapchat for use across Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Messenger, has been giving Evan & team a pretty terrifying karmic kick in the rear... and though there might not be a connection here, Microsoft does own 1.~% of Facebook, after all.

Disclosure: own shares of SNAP; probably not selling soon (it either wins by chance or I write the whole company off as a loss). I don't exactly have the best opinion of the company.

But how do you know if that is indeed the secret? (What if you looked even younger - less gray hair, say - if you didn't work out?)
Lua tables are semantically almost identical to JavaScript objects. The one key difference is that any object can be a key in a Lua table, whereas all JS object keys are coerced into strings. The other more minor difference is that you use getmetatable() and setmetatable() instead of modifying or setting object.__proto__

When we started building down what all the experts told us was an "under utilized" corridor, a bit of flooding appeared. Initially, when the rain would come down, you'd have to navigate through maybe 6 inches of water. Max. Annoying, but not necessarily cause for alarm. As we built more, and more down that corridor, it's gotten worse. Fast forward to today, and when the rain comes down hard you're navigating through maybe a foot or a foot and a half on a bad day in that area. It's also taking much longer to drain. (Nothing speaks to the folly of thoughtless building like high end, fancy restaurants, in gleaming new fancy buildings with sand bags out front that you have to jump over.)

So yeah, no new plans for any new massive footprint, high density buildings along that area in the near future. I suspect until they get this whole thing worked out. Point is that just digging out massive parking garages, paving over areas, building high density housing, it all sounds good on the surface. And it might be good for other cities? Who knows?

But we now have a better understanding that you need a more well thought out plan if you're a city built on a system of five lakes with a dam and locks system delicately balancing their water levels as it is.

It's not enough for the library to be unique, it also has to be good. I see very few people talk positively about Netflix Originals these days. Given how aggressive they are about pushing the Originals over all other content, I don't get the impression that there's a lot of organic loyalty to these series. That doesn't sound like a great base for getting people to both pay and watch ads.

Not the person you were replying to, but I'm a morning workout person (mostly weightlifting but also some cardio-type stuff). Yeah, empty stomach. For weightlifting I may have a protein shake with just enough water and almost always a banana and that's it. Doesn't bother me. I'm not sure if it's optimal (or if I could even tell what is optimal) but weights are still heavy and I still make progress so I'm happy with it.
I agree with the first part, but not the second.

Also, I've found uninstalling any apps the you find even slightly addicting to help. You more than likely won't miss them.
