If you're not honest, sooner or later people who are close to you will know that. Why should they treat you better than you treat other people?

Be honest so you can live with yourself. So that you have nothing to feel guilty about. So that you can reasonably expect and demand other people to treat you as well as you treat others.
No agency needed. Companies do this internally already... right?
There are many Turing Complete languages. There are many stream-based languages. Moreover, there are many Turing Complete stream-based languages. These are instances of the presented stream ring algebra. I wanted to understand the foundation of such languages so as to have the algebraic toolkit to generate more instances.
Oh, I didn’t realize that, yeah I agree. Really odd that they built a hatchback and then didn’t bother to properly market it in Europe. They had a window when it could have done really well.
At this point, I think that it’s a bad idea to use things like yacc or lex for parsing and tokenization. Parser combinators are available in many languages and are much easier to use and much more expressive. Of course if you need insane performance, a hand written recursive descent parser is probably the best option.

The only reason people used parser generators in the past is because the languages they were using (mostly C I suppose) weren’t expressive enough to support higher order functions and higher kinded types.
I just noticed the same bug. It’d be a little more tolerable if it auto detected that e.g. +1 meant US or suggested based on the browser locale rather than requiring you to scroll a huge list but deleting input is almost always a mistake.
There are dozens of services that will deliver to your door or via FedEx/UPS/DHL/USPS.

It seems like your main complaint is that "guaranteed two day delivery" is a money back guarantee rather than an actual damages guarantee that would give suppliers a greater incentive to achieve 99.999999% reliability instead of 99%. But there are services that will satisfy those guarantees, and they're more expensive than Amazon precisely because they have to price in the cost of taking the steps necessary to achieve that level of reliability.

"Fast, reliable, cheap; pick two" is not a conspiracy against the disabled.
Oh, trust me, I know how close to financial edge medical issues can get you.

But, there's tons of things that can go wrong with any company operations, and for some they'll have plan b to meet contract, for others they refunds, for others they have insurance, and for some of them - it's just an inherent risk of running a business, that they have to roll with.

It's unreasonable to expect any company to operate risk free, with 100% guarantee of fulfilling contract every single time - there's not a single company on earth that can do that. And as a customer, one needs to be aware of that.
I completely agree with this.

I've been working remotely for the last decade in various forms (first as a salaried employee and now as a consultant) and my thought has always been that you really need the same drive and self-discipline to remote work as you do to start your own company.

I have my own office, but I can also work from pretty much anywhere that has an Internet connection.

A few years back, I worked worked on an all-remote team that had a high turn-over rate. The reason was because nearly all of the new developers that were hired would work fairy well for a couple of weeks..and then productivity would drop off to nothing, meetings would be missed, and communication would be sparse. Management didn't really know how to weed out people that most likely wouldn't work out.

On the other side, I had a project manager at one of my more recent contracting gigs that didn't know how to effectively communicate. I tried many times to foster communication and the end result would always be the same: missing task/project requirements. This rarely happened to me before this point in my career (if it did, it was addressed and quickly fixed) and it was happening more than half time time and the project manager was unwilling to change.

The company eventually ran out of funding before I quit (and still hasn't launched their service 10+ months later).

The challenge with remote employees is that you not only need a good employee fit, but a good manger fit.
For a long time, I was quite puzzled by the Road-and-Belt initiative. Then I saw a map much like this one - but which included it's current land route through Russia; and realized that the road to Europe, through Iran, is probably key. Previously, all Chinese trade with Europe going by land went through Russia. Although there are undoubtedly many purposes behind Road-and-Belt, including building up heavy construction capacity partly on other country's dime; I concluded that China forsees the possibility of being at odds with Russia, perhaps even in the near term - or later at a time when they are less dependent on Russian carbon fuels - and that China wants to ensure that any such confrontations happen without interfering with its economy.

It would be a tiny fraction of the price and you get a brand new car to drive!

There is no balance to be attained in being a jerk/cheater or whatever. It's like saying: I have the option of breathing or not breathing, so let's get a good balance. No!

If you want to learn from bad people: Do it, but use it for good. For example in identifying people who are bad, or want to take advantage of you/others. But certainly not to get a balance.

And btw, I always hope, people with questionable opinions get screwed by someone with the same questionable view. Let's hope you'll learn your lesson.

For some reason I remember famo.us as being some kind of mobile browser content render replacement (instead of using html+css), not a 3D engine.
John Allspaw applied concepts from The Field Guide to Understanding Human Error to software post mortems. When I was at Etsy, he taught a class explaining this whole concept. We read the book and discussed concepts like the Fundamental Attribution Error.

I've found it very beneficial, and the concepts we learned have helped me inn almost every aspect of understanding the complicated world we live in. I've taken these concepts to two other companies now to great effect.

Asiana Air 214 had 3 deaths in 2013. Pilot botched the landing and struck the tail on a seawall at San Francisco. Back portion of fuselage was ripped off, ejecting a handful of passengers and crew.

For US-based carriers, you are correct. Ignoring international carriers operating in the US strikes me as slightly disingenuous (though lots of people do it), as the international carriers should be subject to most of the same regulations as US carriers (when operating in the US). And as a consumer, I'm as likely to be on BA, KLM, or somebody else as I am United when flying internationally.
"guaranteed two day delivery" is not a money back guarantee. It's just a slogan. Maybe half of my Prime packages make it to my door within two days. Amazon only really guarantees that you'll get the package eventually.

Just to take a look I opened the Project Zero main blog page and the newest article was on a bug in https://github.com/google/skia/ so I'm not sure I can take your comment with any ounce of credibility.

I also have hundreds and hundreds of logins and my issue is that every week now some site gets breached. A lot of them are super old and I'd prefer to have the site delete all my info, but it's too time consuming to manually do that.

That /well-known/ idea is great. There should be a /well-known/permanently-delete, so that my password manager can scrub my old accounts with one click.

GitHub doesn't allow a user to follow an organization.
As a result, users don't get to see the activity done by that particular organization.

I have tried creating a small solution (refer to the link) for the same, and it uses GitHub as a distribution channel.

- You need to create an issue (in the linked repository) with the link to that organization.

- If a new repository is created, the thread will be updated (every 12 hours) with the link to the new repository.

- Check the list of issues if the organization is already subscribed or not.
HoloLens 2 gives Microsoft the edge in next generation of computing
Honestly that sounds like hell. I sure as hell didn’t become a developer so I could get thrown in jail for buggy code. Building software is something no one really knows how to do and we are still at the infancy of our field. I don’t think it would be fair to impose the same standards thst real engineers have on such a nascent and choatic field.
If the fake comments didn't mean anything, why make them?
As a current 2013 Volt and soon to be TM3 owner, I agree with most of what you say. However, the TM3 bluetooth integration doesn't need to do as much as the Volt because the built-in infotainment does so much.. phone integration is not really a big deal.

Doesn't the fact that Amazon did in fact leave kind of prove you wrong?
I wrote the article on a boat with only an abstract algebra book, a LISP book, and a few articles that I had printed before I left. Thus, my references are my references. To then go back and back fill with references would not be an accurate representation of what I was truly referencing at the time.

But yes, there is a lot of related work out there. Hopefully, my approach and introduced novelties can inspire in a way others have not.

Exactly what he said was a lie.
But what do you want Amazon to do? Send out two (or more) packages for every order on distinct routes just in case one gets delayed?

I understand that you are advocating for a minority group, and that's noble. But the expectation that it's not okay for Amazon to miss a delivery due to a plane crash is irrational. It has nothing to do with "ableism".
What was the app called?
Yes. I've set my clocks a few minutes ahead for years, and I do the same on my Watch. It's nice to have, but the helpful illusion is not entirely maintained: it is only the main watch faces that display the time with offset. There are other views where the current time is shown incidentally, and it is the actual, non-offset, time.

What's the right amount of moral outrage? Gedankenexperiment. Install a moral outrage volume meter on our species, dial the the calendar back ten million years, and play it forward with various outrage volumes. Plot moral outrage volume against H. sapiens biomass in the present day. I'd expect a mass of zero grams at volume zero and zero grams at volume eleven (say, by definition), and an inverted U curve in between.

So lacking the time machine and the outrage rheostat, how do we discover the correct amount of outrage? Do we have too much or too little now, and how can we tell? I can't even guess.

"...turning my health around while my doctor expressed zero curiosity about my improvement, advised me other patients needed him more and scheduled me fewer appointments."

I can relate.

Noobs should also know that few doctors will escalate if they don't know how to help you.

USA healthcare providers are playing twenty question lightning rounds. Ask as many questions as your 15 minute time window permits. Oops, time's up. Next!

Medicine has changed dramatically the 20+ years since my transplant. Patient care is no longer the norm.

Which is why I now pay extra for "concierge" style healthcare from my primary doctor. She can now afford (time, money) to do whatever it takes to fix each new problem.
When Kaynes madd these predictions the world pop wa about 2 billion. With that pop it may be possible to achieve a 1940x level of leisure for everyone. But at 7 billion I’m pessimistic and think it’s unfair to anchor the article on something envisioned 80 years ago.

I’d like to know what the author expects people to do with their free time?

Get immersed in social media/games ?

Get involved in hobbies?

Lifelong learning?

Consumerism/travel?

Just what exactly?
I just switched from LastPass to BitWarden and I am so happy. The LastPass admin panel was so slow and clunky and BitWarden is the exact oposite. I highly recommend switching. (I know a password manager is more than just about the interface but the UI is important to me.) The browser plugin and mobile app have also been working flawlessly for me.
Can the iPhone camera be accessed by applications without displaying some kind of viewfinder?
I could do that, but avoided it because it would have to be at least 6 characters for various reasons. And, as you mention, in the address itself somewhere.

What I have works well enough. It shows the matches in a UI, so a human has final say.

The UI looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/C0GziSe (redacted to hide store/customer info). So it's easy to eyeball the match and make sure it's okay. One button to assign the tracking number. The "match %" field is derived from the Levenshtein distance.
Engineering a Safer World (Leveson)
I'm not really familiar with how things were ~20 years ago, but I still believe that creating a language to use internally just for this is overkill. Dynamic ads, weather reports ... etc. are not that difficult they could have probably done it in C (maybe a custom somewhat advanced template engine?) with much less effort.
> Again, I'm being swatted for suggesting that it might be a good thing for Amazon to plan around accidents.

you're being swatted for the disingenuous grandstanding of suggesting they should have a plan, when you already know what the plan of _every_ shipping company is[1], and you know that the portions relevant to you will be covered in the terms and conditions you skip over, despite the supposed importance of this subject to you.

maybe you want them to have a different plan, but that's not what you're saying.

[1]: refund shipping costs, and pay out whatever insurance was purchased on the shipment, subject to some contract-specified delay.
How could it? AWS will happily run whatever code you want, using whatever good or bad development practices you care to choose.
A language that supported a platform for almost twenty years in the modern era? I can't call this anything but a wild success. Sure, it had issues, as discussed on the article, but they solved the business problem at the moment in time. No software decision is without costs, but running a major site for almost two decades indicates that they chose well.

Bravo!

I do wish they'd throw the source code up on GitHub, as it would be an interesting historical artifact.
It’s funny how relative this is. My American friends tell me: we work, you Germans live. My Italian friends say: we live, you Germans work.

You're probably right. It's pretty surprising how many people don't know their own address. And I don't mean typos. Completely wrong zip codes, missing suite numbers in a huge strip mall, wrong city, no business name when that matters, etc.

The best change I made was having them first enter zip code, then pick city/state from a list that goes with that zip code. Both Google and the USPS have apis for that mapping.

Also, fun fact: UPS charges me $15 if they have to make an address correction at delivery time. So, for example, if a customer fails to put a Suite number in, and the UPS software doesn't tell me it's missing, UPS charges me $15. I've complained that I shouldn't have to pay when their software fails. They don't care. Argh!
Doesn't hurt to try.

Good in-depth overview but unfortunately doesn’t get into bigger issues of potential ethical concerns of this sort of narrow maximization. At a certain point you end up becoming Facebook or YouTube and vastly amplifying toxic and dangerous content because it generates more comments or more time spent on the site. And even if you believe in pure amoral capitalism, blindly following what your algorithms tell you to do will eventually lead you into a trap and the backlash won’t necessarily be pretty.
One issue is that dishonest people will use the honesty of some against them
Did my share of selfish things in my twenties and with the hindsight of another decade: true power is found looking inward. It’s the power you gain over yourself by finding calm and focus. Not the power you hold over others, which is transient and ultimately illusory.
The only thing he mentions is the Russian addresses, which I haven't seen anybody disputing. Do you think there weren't that amount of comments with Russian addresses?
I’ve wondered this too. But maybe ux is more important in this case than privacy. There’s a red or blue bar that shows up when mic or location or hotspot is on. I’d hate to see that when my full screen camera app opens. But I do value privacy. So another solution would be what Mac has implemented. A led shows up whenever the camera is on. But I’ve seen reports and articles where it’s possible to fire the Mac camera and shut it off quickly before the LED has time to kick on. (I cover my Mac camera with a post-it).

I don’t know what the solution could be. Maybe a vibration of a specific kind?

I think Apple should address this. It’s a good next step in terms of privacy focused Apple and it’s something that will be rewarding for the user to see that whenever the camera opens, something happens. Good PR points for Apple. A win for the user.
Fun fact: my address gets corrected to one on the other side of town with a South suffix added. The Post Office, UPS and FedEx all have manual procedures in place to handle this case. No-one has yet to fix their software more than to flag a manual review at the local office
Fair. More just wondering if that have any sort of process for investigating data breaches involving software hosted on their servers.
I'm honestly not sure, for me it's mostly i've been on the internet a long time, I know 99% of everything is some bullshit. I look at most of it the same way I look at tv shows or movies. Do I want to spend the limited time I have taking in some bullshit? Or, do I want to spend my time productively? It really is your own choice. It's up to everybody how they spend their time. If you feel like it's a waste and it makes you miserable, just don't...

It's the same way I stopped eating candy and garbage. I still want it, I see it, it looks appealing. Then I remind myself it's a bag poison garbage. Likewise with facebook or stupid shit on the internet, I see it, it looks appealing...but i tell myself it's poisonous garbage...and just leave it.

The camera cannot be accessed without displaying it on the screen.
I’m a bit over 400 passwords, the password vault was a game changer for me, so I have 400 unique passwords. I think the next big leap will be having 400 unique user ids, but that is not feasible today since most sites want you to have a verifiable e-mail and most email providers are still doing the 90s style - one name is one account even though most email providers don’t charge any longer (I love you Proton Mail but your about three decades too late, no matter how awesome your security is, need to rethink your business plan).
One could argue that it’s precisely because there are no standards that the field is so chaotic.

I’m not sure what the right balance is - the more standards and compliance there are, the more innovation suffers. On the other hand, without standards or legal responsibility, it makes sense for companies to play fast and loose with security, privacy, and stability in favor of features - a consumer is going to pick a better product based on UX, features, and cost, not based on security they have no way of judging.
