> Isn't warranty provided by the manufacturer and not the retailer

The cost is usually covered by the manufacturer, but the local retailer is usually a point of service.
> Oh come on

I'm a little confused. Are you disagreeing with me? If so, I'm still not clear in what way.

Edit: In case my original point wasn't clear, here it is restated. When people talk about "white, affluent people" as some type of special group, when they really just mean affluent people, it connotes that white people are more likely to be affluent, which can become a self-fulfilling prophecy (see: impostor syndrome).

And, yes, white people today are more likely to be affluent for a host of reasons. But I think it does a disservice to all of us to interject that at times when it's completely irrelevant.
What a joke, if companies in unrelated countries don't want to play by sanctions, I see no reason to hold it against them. Unrelated states should have no power over this. The amount of hate Huawei gets just for this from otherwise reasonable people is rather excessive.
I'm not keen on social network-type sites either but the emoji reactions are far better than getting showered with "+1" e-mails.
Sure, I chose an extreme example, but it's just a fact that healthcare is way less elastic than food.

If the price of beef is too high, I can buy pork instead.

If the price of a hip replacement is too high, what are you supposed to do? Get an appendectomy instead?

Similarly (or more importantly, even) is they've now built out a proprietary fulfillment and last mile delivery infrastructure that runs parallel to USPS/UPS/etc.

Any new entrant is going to have to compete with Amazon on shipping cost/time. Yet Amazon can do it using their own distribution and sorting hubs, from which gig workers use their own cars to do the deliveries.

With a combination of porcini powder (ground dried porcini mushrooms), nutritional yeast, MSG, miso, kombu, and something with hydrolyzed vegetable protein, you can make some almost-meaty tasting stocks that have as much richness/flavor/oomph as any bone broth. I'm not vegetarian, but I have friends and business partners who are, and I like a challenge. Any four of those six (careful with the yeast -- it gets overpowering quickly) can combine for a pretty powerful stock or sauce. I use most of them in my regular cooking, too.
Can you discuss how you set this up? I looked at voip.ms and it looks like it supports Asterisk and other VOIP software, how did you configure yours?

Thanks
I agree and also pay for YouTube, Thunderbird (donations) and a couple of podcasts (via patreon) which do not have ads. Interestingly mostly american podcasts have ads, the German and Swedish ones don't.
Did not know that. Thanks for the enlightenment.
I always say that motivation and self-drive account for far more in terms of success with software development than anything else. In the end, it's the guys that figure stuff out, explore, research on their own that you want to keep around.
> Using pinned / outdated versions to preserve legacy behavior is better than the alternatives for preserving old functionality in a monorepo, where it leads to uncontrollable feature flag growth and an inability to delete code.

I wonder if it becomes an incentive to delete code. Keeping old projects up to date with every library change is a continuous maintenance burden, incentivizing their removal. The cost of updating exists either way, of course, but the matter of who pays that cost and when it must be paid would probably affect decision making.
In addition to breakfast tacos and cigarettes there are few things that inspire cravings as much as a good curry.

Not indian, didn't grow up with indian cuisine, love brisket, eat the best in the world couple times a month, and I am definitely a texture eater and not vegetarian.

Good curries with fresh spices have made me defacto vegetarian and nearly vegan for long stretches of time without any intentionality or effort on my part, they are hardly side dishes, they activate feelings of wellness and primal satisfaction in parts of my brain I thought only steak could provide, I'm glad I was introduced to good indian cuisine in my late 20s. Obviously the reductionist truism is correct "steak != not steak", but indian food relegated to side dishes? Pffft.
- there should be 4 semesters a year, not 2, people should graduate in 2 years, not 4+

At the onset of this journey, I was enthusiastic to learn, but along the way I've been beat down to just wanting to get "the piece of paper" and be done. It's been a long three years and each day forward is increasingly difficult to stomach since I realized I can learn all of what is being taught to me faster on my own.

The fact that it’s a 4-year slog is one of the factors that make university degree holders earn premium in the labor marketplace — conscientiousness, conformity and consistency required to slog through 4 years needed for school to certify it send employers a strong signal that you’re the kind of person who will do their job well. Thus, don’t give up, the paper certifying it is more important than the “education” you are getting.
Of course. Vying for high status is a cut throat game and not necessarily the path to happiness. Vying for status is, however, the only path to status and the fundamental symbols of status never change.

You can choose to live a simple life and be happy, or you can rule an empire and deal with the associated stresses. To each his own, but ALL humans recognize status, and almost all humans have an innate desire for more status.

The dilemma we face is whether we're willing to pay the price to attain said status. If status was offered without a cost most people will take it without hesitation.

You know plenty of people who have a lot of money but are miserable as fuck, so does that mean if you won the lottery for 10.5 million dollars you're not gonna take the prize because you learned your lesson from other "unhappy" rich people? Let's be real.

Status is status all you're saying is that more and more people are foregoing it for a less stressful life. This doesn't change the fact that we as humans still recognize status and that some part of us always will desire it to a certain extent.

After years of getting many if not most things from Amazon, my last several big ticket tech items were bought from Walmart online. The prices on identical items were better at Walmart.

Other things I've stopped buying from Amazon are the frequently-counterfeited categories of items (USB chargers, etc etc). I'll just go to Microcenter or Walmart or wherever local whose supply chain I have more faith in.

I really wish delivery services like DoorDash would present UI to opt out of cutlery and condiments (preferably as a default).

When I order a dinner for delivery to my home, I'm likely going to use my own plates/knives. If I'm ordering via phone or pickup, I can decline the default forks/chopsticks but using the UI it's nto possible without a "comment" and some restaurants don't even read that.

Yes there's already waste in the packaging but often that's compostable these days.

Restrictive medical school admissions aren't the problem. The real bottleneck is in the number of residency slots available for medical school graduates. Every year people graduate with an MD degree but are unable to actually practice medicine because they can't get matched to a residency slot.

Most residency programs are federally funded, although some are also funded directly by teaching hospitals. If you want a larger supply of doctors then lobby the federal government for more residency program funding. And knock off the uniformed conspiracy theories.

I don't think we should tell artists what they can/can't do, but I do think it would be reasonable for the New York Times to enforce that all content they host is made as accessible as reasonably possible, for some definition of that.

This could be made much more accessible by just including appropriate captions, and doing so would benefit a large part of the community.
The quotes are by individuals associated with the organizations, it doesn't appear to be the official position of the think-tanks. I think it is unfair to call the Brookings Institute a "right-wing pay-to-play lobbying group" but you are just sourcing from a left-leaning activist group.
Autozone has a similar feel to visiting a mechanic, so it is probably OK that it is dingy inside. Sears was just depressing.

Cannot second this enough. As a developer, there will always be new tools and technology. More room to grow into adjacent development. And more line of business knowledge to gain. I can't think of any other field, that has more lifetime learning involved in it.

Cheapness is the answer, I expect. Based on my albeit limited experience, people who are actually making money are getting on with it and being productive as possible.

The problem people can't be making much unless there is a way of monetizing noisy phone calls that I am unaware of?

When I was an undergrad there was a 35-year-old real estate developer living in my dorm. He had decided he'd like to have a degree and enrolled at MIT.

I wish I had understood what it must have been like for him since there was nobody else in the building under 25. I know he had a sense of humor as I saw him once bring a date (around his age) back to his room.

But though we talked a bit I couldn't really comprehend what someone twice my age thought about being a student...and now I'm 17 years older than he was at the time I'd be fascinated to know.
> in principle coding should be the most automatable of anything

You still have to describe to the automaton what you want it to do -- and in doing that, you're programming.

Modern languages are all "automated programming" already -- you aren't writing machine code, you're describing to the automation system what you want, and then it generates the machine code for you.
A book that really made me understand this early on was "Fortune's Formula" in that it illustrated how technology transformed the speed of information arbitrage, but the real human problem was getting information as quickly as possible from point A to B.

Having a website in 1997 to sell goods was a better means to reach customers unable to visit a store location than a mail catalog due to better inventory management, personalization, etc.

One blog I've enjoyed reading is Chick-fil-a's technical blog as it really demonstrates how a company in the restaurant business is leveraging technology to make its customer experience or operations more efficient, much in the same way, Mcdonald's used milkshake machines to be more efficient. But, Chick-fil-a is willing to admit it is a restaurant!
They said 1.0 was "indistinguishable from meat" and yet when i was erroneously served it, i distinguished it quite easily. It had the texture of wet bread and the taste of stale wet bread soaked in rotting pig blood. Bring on the blind taste tests before claiming it tastes like meat.
>Quantum computing advances are presumably not an industrial design challenge...

Perhaps not, but getting laypeople to care enough about quantum computing to fund its development could very well be.

Ah, the Nintendo strategy.

Why anyone at Nintendo thought that the Wii U was a good name for a completely new console is beyond me.
My definition aligns with both definitions you described. Although I don't really have any hardware constraints that would stop me from running bash, zsh or fish, so my reasons for not wanting to use them, probably align better with your second definition.

However, I wouldn't consider the second definition to be philosophical, but technical. It has more features than my needs, therefore it has more lines of code, potentially more bugs, uses more memory and has a greater attack surface.
Not as good. I use $today a lot in file and directory names, The overhead of having to type $(today) rather than $today would be, for me, significant.

I do have a workaround for this particular case:

PROMPT_COMMAND='today=$(printf "%(%F)T\n" -1)'

but it only works in bash 4.2 and later.

I could use

PROMPT_COMMAND='today=$(date +%F)'

but I'm trying to avoid executing an external command on every prompt. (Maybe the overhead is low enough that it's not worth worrying about.)

My thoughts are (a) if user-defined special variables like this were a shell feature, I could find other uses for them and (b) it seems neater to make such a feature available to users rather than restricting it to three special-case built-in variables.

On the other hand, it might have been cleaner for $RANDOM, $EPOCHSECONDS, and $EPOCHREALTIME to be implemented as built-in functions rather than as special variables.
Then I would suggest she work on her penmanship. I found it very difficult to read.

Why we're using Google Assistant to make ASOS more intuitive
The universities aren't on the hook for student loan defaults so they don't care about the expected return for the borrower or the lender. If students borrowed from the schools directly, then the admissions process along with university spending patterns would be vastly different. The only thing we have that is remotely close to this is schools giving out scholarships to students who have great potential to be high earners who later donate back to the school.

I don't have an issue with the format itself, but you're absolutely right that it's an accessibility nightmare. The worst part is that it's so easy for it not to be.

I thought maybe since there's no descriptive text alongside images, that there was probably something in the alt tags. However, the alt tags for each image are just empty quotes. For all intents and purposes this is just a blank page for anyone using a screen reader.

Hey everyone, use descriptive alt tags for your images. It takes 10 seconds and makes a big difference.

This isn't necessarily the fault of the funeral home. It's a much the traditional and society pressure that says this is what you do when you die.

Aside: How come airlines give you a bereavement discount while a caterer doesn't?

Nothing stopping your family from a simple cremation and open tab at your favorite social spot for a couple of hours of celebration

Or a picnic...

Or a concert with your favorite local bands ...

Or a bike/hike into the mountains to scatter your ashes...

Etc. The point is you don't have to have a funeral service followed by internment in the ground. We've just been trained this is "the right thing to do".

My dad always (only half joking) says his dying wish is to have the last cheque he writes bounce.

You voice a lot of similar conclusions I've come to, as someone who's mid-level and came through the bootcamp/practical application route.

One of my coworkers has a Math/CS degree and I feel like he's light-years ahead of me when it comes to solving algorithms, to address just one facet of your comment. He can see the underlying problem/solution at a much deeper level. At the same time, I think that teaching the deep theory first would have been too abstract to me; it makes more sense now that I have some practical experience and have encountered real-world problems that need to be solved.

That's how american TSA airport security scanners operate. They use a millimeter wave scanner to identify foreign objects on a person. The only lacking bit is the real-time hollywood-style visualizations.
So a company's business practices should supersede a country's laws. Does this apply to only to sanctions? How about environmental laws?
Aren't "co-working" and "nice, quiet place to work" sort of mutually exclusive? It's like nice quiet open office plan. I suppose it's possible in theory but doesn't seem to be the norm. Certainly there are lots of places that rent private offices.

>I speak from ignorance, and the laziness that prevents me from researching deeper,

More "customer focus", (no more haggling on warranty, less pushy upsells, "sure ma'am, we'll install your wipers for you" ,etc, etc.) and they greatly improved the house brands and logistics. Basically they dumped a bunch of money into their product lines and stores with the idea that people would shop there more if the parts weren't shit and the service didn't suck. They also own Alldata which they probably turned into a massive cash cow around the time Lampert was there (which was when electronic service manuals started becoming a real thing).

I personally thing it worked well. They're basically the McDonalds's of auto parts. The customer service experience is pretty much the same in any store and part quality is consistent and you almost never get the really, really terrible stuff that you sometimes get when you buy the cheapest parts online.
I'm talking about the sanctions that the article is, i.e. the pre-deal ones that Meng Wanzhou is accused of violating.

That said, the stated reason for the current sanctions is still nuclear weapons [0]. An accurate evaluation of why the US chose to withdraw from that deal is probably not possible with publicly available information. The limited analysis in your comment seems to assume that the deal was effective, something I don't think we have enough information to reliably evaluate, but I consider unlikely.

Roomba Alert – Podcast Interview with Chris Jones CTO iRobot
America has been diligently trying to overthrow the Iranian government for nearly 70 years, _long_ before Iran started their nuclear program in 1970:

In 1953, the CIA baited the Iranian coup d'état by covertly supporting pro-shaw groups. The shaw was then overthrown in 1979, bringing Khomeini to power as the Supreme Leader. Our role in the later Iranian revolution isn't as clear, yet. After that the 2009 Persian Awakening was additionally supported by the states.

This literally gave me a headache to read. I assume they made the article look like a 6 year old drew/wrote it because they thought it wouldn't be long enough (page-wise) without 10000pt font?

One upside is that you're giving everybody the same test, so you don't have miscalibrated judgements of a candidate's ability, depending on if they used a computer.

It occurs to me now that another upside might be that it could have better predictive value. Maybe inability to deal with whiteboard code implies inability to deal with large code bases or complicated situations where you have to hold what the code's doing in your head. Or maybe that gets lost in the noise...

They are not, advertisement never creates value for the society, it's a 0-sum game. They never add value they only shift the stream of money from a producer which makes a good product which would sell without ads to a producer which has money to invest in ads to trick people to buy the worse product.
