If Best Buy ever closes, I will be very sad. It's one of the last standing bastions where I can go see electronics in person, purchase them, and then return them for an immediate refund (if something is wrong). The fact that they price match Amazon is key. I will pretty much always buy at Best Buy if I can, because I can get the item on the same day, for the same price as Amazon, and still get all of the conveniences offered by a retail store.

Have you had any communication with tire manufacturers about how you lift the car that way?

Wouldn't that put unusual stress on the tire plies? Maybe once or twice might be OK, but if someone did this to tires 500 times a year (e.g. commuting to work, once at arrival at garage at work, once at departure from work) would the tires still be OK?

Me. For example, I’m currently legally rewatching Game of Thrones before the new season comes out even though I don’t currently have an HBO subscription. It is a durable copy that doesn’t buffer, is high quality, isn’t modified after the fact (such as when they removed the George W. Bush prop head-on-spike). For a one time price, I own it for life. I can and have lent it out to
others. When I watch it, my analytics aren’t tracked, and there are no promos for other shows at the beginning.
Ultimately what everyone wants is a super easy interface to pay for precise a la carte content, never bundled, never subscription-based.

I 100% do not want this. I want to pay for one subscription to get all the media I want (music, tv shows, movies, books, etc). And I don’t care at all about ownership. I’d pay $50-100/month for this subscription, and we’re getting close if you don’t mind cobbling together a half dozen subscriptions and using a bunch of different apps.
The secret to Best Buy is that you can play with things. Unfortunately I think they have kind of dropped the ball on this one. When I visit Best Buy, I often see empty product spaces, demo products that do not work, wires just dangling from a hole. This is not the Best Buy of my childhood where you went and could get your hands on things, really get to play around and know what you’re buying. I would never buy a 52 inch LED TV off of Amazon, but I would definitely buy it at Best Buy because I can actually see it. The secret to Best Buy is that you can play with things.

They send many packages on the same vehicle, and do a shortest-path route. So the marginal impact of each package is minimal compared to making a dedicated trip to Best Buy.

Back when ReSharper was first released, it basically advanced VS to the point that was considered essential baseline by most Java developers.

As I recall, at the time, it seems that the Java ecosystem was mostly investing into writing code and declarative markup (usually XML), while Microsoft was most interested in visual designers and other ways to help devs on its platform avoid writing code. Thus, VS was far easier to get started with, but advanced coding was much better in Java IDEs.

> Marvel movies have been wearing fairly thin

Outside of your bubble, Infinity War is the highest-grossing film of all time. (With Black Panther following in 2nd or 3rd place if I'm not mistaken.)

Sure, Marvel does not particularly contribute to the pantheon of cinema, but it's nowhere near "wearing thin" commercially. Quite the contrary actually.
All the signs indicate that Netflix has become a user hostile company that is prioritising ongoing user engagement and stickiness over their users needs.

It's starting to remind me of another company which at one point in their evolution prioritised user engagement over everything else – Facebook. Once this occurs, it is a long slippery slope which leads to a series of user hostile internal decisions which ultimately leads to the user and their privacy becoming the product.

When you actually pay for Netflix and this is their modus operandi it leaves a large opening for a competitor with a more user-focused approach to come in and gain marketshare.

A few examples of how Netflix is prioritising engagement over their users:

- Auto-playing shows once a show has finished (this leads lazy users unnecessarily watching more Netflix)

- Promoting Netflix shows above third party content, irrespective of quality. This prioritises what's best for Netflix instead of promoting the best content for the user.

- Algorithmically modifying the poster frames / thumbnails of shows to be more appealing to users. Again promoting engagement and misleading users of the true content of the show.

- Removing the ability to easily see the complete catalogue via comprehensive categories, which enhances the reliance users have on algorithmic suggestions

I'm sure all of this has been tested in Netflix and they can show that these approaches increase stickiness and engagement. Stickiness and engagement is not what is in the users best interest however and over the medium and long term I think it will be detrimental to a better measurement which is user satisfaction.
TL;DR: The new QUIC standard being produced changes the way in which certain HTTP concepts are encoded; it's not just an added layer upon which existing HTTP/2 bits can written. Because the format changes, the protocol number must be bumped as well.
That's a great point. I think you could train a network on what clicks were meaningful or not by looking at whether the future game state was changed by the presence of the click. (I.e., if you click to attack 4 times, but clicks 2 3 and 4 don't change the impact of the battle when they are removed, they were likely spam.)

It's more like "made uninhabitable for humans/current life". I'm sure after a few hundred million years some new forms of biodiversity would arise to replace what can't survive whatever disaster we leave behind (short of sundering the earth into multiple pieces and pushing us out of our current orbit). One model of genotypic diversity is that it is a mostly random walk through a huge multidimensional space, and while it's unlikely to revisit the same point twice, nature has only explored a small fraction of the total space.
That's madness. This is done by a company whose entire business is benchmarking? That's like selling bike with square tires.
People who care about audio. Netflix streaming audio is shit. A Blu-ray has incredibly good audio tracks—usually 24-bit/96kHz lossless.

That might indicate that some additional measures could be used to encourage dissenting opinion without a comment being sent to the black pit of despair in quick fashion.

The EAT-Lancet Commission is pushing a plant-based diet
My wife was making pickled eggs yesterday. I asked her "How much salt are you using?" "Oh... I forgot the salt. How much should I use?" I told her to look at the recipe. She said she wasn't using a recipe and was just going to wing it. I told her I didn't want to die. :-)

This is the real danger. Although we weren't fermenting the eggs (vinegar recipe), no matter what you are doing, you need to be very careful about the amount of salt/acid you are using. Additionally you need to be very careful about sanitisation (For our pickled eggs, I showed my wife how to sanitise the jars using iodophor). Once you have that sorted out, there really isn't anything that can go wrong.

Basically follow the recipe to the letter. Read it ahead of time a few times so that you know what you are doing. Double check that you did every step and that you measured the amounts correctly. Avoid any recipe that has a "Oh it's natural, you don't have to measure anything" approach and you will be fine.

As for pests, I suppose some things may be fermented uncovered, but I've never done that. For fermented pickles, I just loosely cover the jar. The biggest pests you are likely to encounter is fruit flies -- but they really only go for yeast fermented products (they eat yeast). For things like that (i.e. making beer, etc) you want to use a covered vessel with a fermentation lock.

I've never had problems with lactic fermented things including lactic pickles, sauerkaut and even cheese (though my cheese is in the fridge most of the time and when it is air drying, I've got a cheese cloth over it). We've got every sort of beast you can imagine here (rural Japan), including 2 inch long cockroaches that can fly, venemous foot long centipedes, skinks, hunter spiders, etc (the skinks and spiders eat the cockroaches, thankfully). In my old falling down shack that I used to live in, I even had a rat that would eat all my chocolate and cold medicine, but leave the yummy, yummy grain alone (go figure).

Basically, you are right to be cautious, but you have no need to worry if you are cautious.

Best Buy is kind of weird when it comes to computer parts. In the early 2000s, it was one of the only places near me to buy them. Then for a few years they started using the floor space for other stuff. Lately though, they have had a pretty good selection of hardware in the store and the prices generally aren't too bad compared to online either. If they are going to survive that's going to be one of the main ways to do it.
It's not impossible to fix it because its FOSS its impossible to fix it because nobody cares to invest a substantial amount of resources which is a separate but often entangled issue.

It can also be too late to fix something in a deployed system because the resources required exceed the benefit derived in which case there will be no manager forcing anyone to fix anything.

> how can we have infinite growth on a planet with limited resources?

I find it sad but unsurprising that a reasonable question like this attracts a bunch of downvotes here.

I heartily recommend Higgs' book "Collision Course" -- it doesn't provide solutions about how to get ourselves out of the mess that we're in, but it does provide a lot of historical evidence explaining how much public thought and speech around economic growth has been warped by propaganda:

Kerryn Higgs -- Collision Course: Endless Growth on a Finite Planet

https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/collision-course

A few quotes from reviews:

> If modern society ever had a core taboo it is against speaking favorably of limits, especially with respect to growth.

> Higgs explains brilliantly how our ideas about economics and the environment have been carefully warped and manipulated over decades, just so a small minority could get rich.
> How is that justifiable in any way?

My understanding is that it is stated in the contract.
> floating point co-coprocessor and the "drivers" just rename mesa-software with intelgfx

That is hilariously false. I work on the drivers. They're open source. Go take a look.
Non-salary benefits used to be extremely uncommon in the USA. During WW2, price and wage controls were enacted that made it illegal to increase prices for many types of goods, or salaries for many types of employees. This made it almost impossible for employers to find enough employees, so they started finding creative ways to sweeten the deal besides just increasing salary. Thus, virtually everyone now gets health insurance from an insurance company chosen by their employer rather than one they choose themselves, we tip workers that do certain jobs rather than paying them a normal wage, time off is negotiated ahead of time, etc.

Ask HN: Denied from last round, finished beta/landed trial. Worth reapplying?
My cofounder and I applied to the YC winter session after having had worked on our product for over a year and were denied. We have since finished what we call our beta, and also landed a private testing trial with some mock trial attorneys and their judges at a good local law school (it’s a law tech idea, with some real attorneys and judges helping). I know there have been several questions on here asking YC alumni for feedback, but we are unsure if it's worth applying for an incubator now that this has happened and we are going back and forth on it. Has anyone experienced anything similar and regretted applying/attending? If we believe we have a product that will be market ready and scalable without YC, should we hold on to our equity?

I really wonder if that is the case. Here are some numbers from popular adblockers on the chrome extension store:

"Adblocker for Chrome - NoAds" - 6,545,443 users
"AdGuard AdBlocker" - 5,611,340 users
"Adblocker Genesis Plus" - 236,373 users
"Fair AdBlocker" - 1,922,094 users
"Adblock Plus - free ad blocker" - 10,000,000+ users (Google stopped counting, apparently, but their page description boasts over 500m users)
"Ublock origin" - 10,000,000+ users

These are all huge numbers of people who are going out of their way to install software to never see an ad on the internet. There are probably many more people who share the same disdain for ads but don't know about adblockers, and there is likely a chunk of users who might not care very much either way.

I think it's safe to say that the proportion of people who genuinely appreciate targeted advertising on the internet is pretty small.

I'm very good at debugging and when I have choice I use all the tools I can get. Not only I use debuggers, I extend them to do what I need for particular project, e.g. autoexp.dat/natvis/custom plugins when coding C++ in VC.

At the same time I also use logging a lot. These two things aren't always mutually exclusive.

Only sometimes they are. Some platforms don't have good debuggers. For other stuff it's the opposite, e.g. you can't log from code running on GPU (very hard to accomplish, borderline impossible) but there're specialized GPU debuggers.

I don't think people who use just logging, or just debuggers, are the best.

If we didn’t sell enough PSPs (extended warranties), we were not allowed to leave at our scheduled time.

Also, we moved all the laptop inventory to the back of the store, so if a customer wanted to buy a laptop that was in stock, but did not want to purchase an extended warranty, we were instructed to lie to the customer and say it was out-of-stock.
