Additionally, the dependency on last mile shipping companies which by and large are awful means that some problems will never be entirely under their control.

I used BlueApron for several months, but then the last mile delivery company stopped dropping the package at my door and instead began leaving it in my apartment's mail room, which doesn't notify me when I have a package and closes overnight. That + some growing concerns over food safety (esp around their meat) lead to me dropping and giving up on them.

But they don’t advertise in the banners that they spend the money in such a way.

I may have a partial match in goals with Wikipedia. If 20% of the money goes to goals I support and 80% goes to goals I do not support or that are even contrary to my goals, how much should I give?

At least WiFi figured out how to improve.

Would love to see "USB 4" .

No ".0" afterwards, just the simpler numeral.

And if you need a bigger connector, then buy the "USB 4 XL connector" cable.
So far all of their moves in regards to USB 3+ and type-c seem to have been to cater to various consumer companies.

If we put it in that context, then this new re-branding has to be done for the same reason - so that the same companies can claim to support a "newer" USB standard (and thus a reason for you to upgrade to the new devices), even though nothing has changed.
I donated twice to cover hosting & maintenance of Wikipedia, then became aware of the many other activities into which the funds were/are flowing, so I stopped donating. I care about Wikipedia, not much about the rest.
Probably. Meal kits may become available in supermarkets, though. They have a big advantage - a cold chain. They can keep something cold from the plant that made it to the moment the user takes it out of the cold case. The mail order people can't do that.

My original compilers had error messages in English, German, French, and Japanese. It was a fair amount of work to make that work. I was pretty proud of it.

Turns out that I couldn't find anyone who ever used the non-English messages. Everyone preferred the English messages, because everything else with programming was in English.

So I abandoned worry about that, and haven't heard anything about it since.

> If you don't require forward secrecy you introduce a weakness. The protocol won't distinguish between whether that weakness is being exploited by regulated entities or baddies.

Weakness in the protocol, but not necessarily weakness in the system as a whole. This is an environment where part of the trusted nature of the system comes from having a complete record of all the network communication to and from the system, and an ability to audit that data offline.

That context is in conflict with the objectives of PFS & TLS 1.3 in general. So, understandably, they came up with another solution that fit the design goals, and understandably, rather than reinvent the wheel, they came up with a way to tweak existing solutions to fit their design goals.

> You don't need to weaken TLS in order to do what the regulated entities want to do - you just need to do the retention on the endpoints.

Yeah, you're not understanding the system. The whole point is to NOT trust the endpoints to be reliable narrators of what they are transmitting over the network (which makes sense, because if they are compromised, they wouldn't be). TLS is designed to allow two trusted endpoints to communicate, but the goal/context for eTLS is to have a full audit of communications into and out of an untrusted node. That's presumed from the start; TLS's goals therefore aren't helpful.
This is incredibly naive. Sadly this is not how the world actually operates. Entire industries and economies would be disrupted and vanish completely if majority of people were healthy. Millions of jobs rely on people continuously going through the cycle of disease.

Elon Musk Uses This Critical Thinking Strategy to Guide Him in Business
If you want to stay, you are going to have to learn to speak the language of business. When you propose something, you will need to give estimates on how this will affect business metrics. In particular you'll want to focus on how this project either increases revenue or decreases costs. Additionally make sure that you network with your new management company. Essentially, you need to look for executive sponsors who will step in and say _I need this person._ Particular effective ones tend to be Marketing/Sales or Finance.

At the end of the day, an acquirer is making an investment and hoping to make a profit on that investment. If you can help the company make money and do it more effectively than an outsourced partner you are likely to stay. You will need to put on your business hat and talk and walk the business walk to be successful.

I can't read your list on mobile
My non-scientific, and poorly researched understanding is that calories in/calories out is how you manage weight. But digestion itself is also a somewhat 'taxing' processes, and eating 3 square meals a day means you are pretty much constantly digesting food through out the day. For example, if you look into how type 2 diabetes works, your body basically can't produce enough insulin to process the glucose in your system (roughly), so you end up with high blood sugar. One way to deal with it is to reduce total calorie consumption, but it also feels like simply compressing your eating into a smaller window could have similar impacts (i.e. your average glucose levels throughout the day might be lower, even if you are eating a little more).

I wouldn't be surprised if there are other functions and processes in the body benefit (maybe kidneys and the liver benefit from some more 'downtime'). I am not a huge fan of the 'evolution' argument, but I assume our distant ancestors ate meals in somewhat sporadic schedules, so it would kinda make sense that our bodies are tuned to that cadence, as opposed to the constant supply of processed foods that we currently subsist on.

Show HN: AI-Powered Web Collections
Hi! I've just deployed a new feature to my search engine called "Web Collections". They are a slices of the WWW index, subsets. You decide their size. They are created from the advanced query parser GUI that appear after you query the WWW index. From the GUI, simply give your collection a name and click "Create collection" and the result set from the current query will be appended to your named collection. A link will appear leading you to a search GUI that will let you query this new collection as soon as it's been persisted.

All collections can spawn new collections because all are queryable.

You may create collections from data that doesn't originate from the WWW index but from somewhere else by utilizing the HTTP API to create/append to/read from and query your collections, freely, right now.

There is one last feature to implement before my intended MVP is done and that is to be able to reference collections in the query language so that AND, OR and NOT set operations can be orchestrated across collections.

It's got the AI label because I create graphs of word embeddings (bags-of-characters, bag-of-word, bags-of-topics) and virtual vector spaces of clusters of documents and because it's a NLP framework of sorts. It's what I use to analyse and create new language models. Each training session creates a new model that enriches the one it was based on.

Here's a demo and a question because I'm of course curious: would this a be slightly useful to you had it been at full WWW scale?

They are different.

The academy, K-12 educational establishment, news and entertainment media are all overwhelmingly ruled by exclusionary leftists. A right-winger cannot avoid massive exposure to their ideas and thus develops coping strategies. Left-wingers, on the other hand, can easily reach adulthood without ever having to actually think about and grapple with an argument against e.g. abortion or mass immigration.
I don't think It's shared.
> Should the police disclose only those who have been convicted of a crime AND who have exhausted all appeals?

Are civilians afforded that privilege?

Consider the case of stockbrokers, for example. Regulations require that a broker immediately discloses, on a publicly accessible website [0], that they have become "a defendant or respondent in any securities- or commodities-related civil litigation or arbitration" [1]. This does not require a finding of guilt nor an exhaustion of appeals. While allegations of financial fraud are certainly concerning, a police officer convicted of molesting a child or sexual assaulting suspects is potentially shielded from similar levels of disclosure (as described in the article). Are stockbrokers subject to too much scrutiny, or are police officers subject to too little scrutiny?

Furthermore, the gray area in the law, when assigning the benefit of the doubt to the officer, puts the public in danger. In the Washington Post article cited above, the following example is referenced:

> In 2007, Shreveport police officer Wiley Willis arrested 38-year-old Angela Garbarino on suspicion of drunken driving. While in custody, as captured on the video below, Garbarino begins arguing with Willis about what she said is her right to make a phone call. About a minute later, Willis walks over and turns off the video camera. When the camera comes back on, Garbarino is lying on the floor in a pool of her own blood. She was later photographed with severe facial injuries she says were the result of Willis beating her. Willis’ attorney stated that she tripped and fell while the camera was off. After the video went viral, Willis was fired, but has never been criminally charged.

> Last month, the Shreveport Municipal Fire and Police Civil Service Board voted to reinstate Willis on the police force. He’ll get full back pay and benefits for the year-and-a-half he was fired. The reason? During the internal investigation of Willis, a polygraph machine operator failed to record the results of his Q&A with Willis. This apparently is a violation of Louisiana’s “Police Officer’s Bill of Rights,” a set of guidelines every department must follow when investigating officer misconduct.

> Garbarino won a $400,000 settlement from the city of Shreveport last year.

This officer was reinstated on what is incontrovertibly a technicality. Since the appeal was successful, PO Willis' actions could be concealed from the public due to the gray area of the law. Is it in the public interest to hide such blatant misconduct?

All of the ones I tried had a significant drawback - they somewhat forced your selection by grouping meals together, or restricting choice otherwise.

Which... no thanks. There are foods I don't like, and I won't buy them just because you need to get rid of your supplies.

Meanwhile, I'm very happy with freshly - no cooking except "microwave for 3:30", mostly decent food quality. They still have the same last-mile problem as everybody else, though. (Seriously, could somebody just nuke OnTrac from orbit?)
Ah, thanks for that, just added! And the methodology is just manually searching HN for bootstrapping-related posts that are still valid links.
> Haha yeah. In my experience running top internet sites, honestly if you don’t have consistency you probably have a very unskilled engineering team, or you don’t need availability either because your company is irrelevant.

So Twitter and Facebook must have horrible teams. Both of those if you update your profile it may take minutes (and certainly seconds) until everyone has a copy.

When running a site at large scale consistency becomes a business concern. Is it really important to my business that if someone loads a profile 10 seconds after they changed their avatar it is still the old version? The answer is probably "no" and if it is, you can scale a lot larger and on cheaper hardware than if you answer "yes"

Hardly any NoSQL database offer consistency or if they do they have eventual consistency as a default. Because for most applications it doesn't matter.

Take a blog as another example... if two people hit the homepage the moment after a new article is published does it really matter if one of them still gets the old article?

Edit: To try to be helpful...

> A good question for someone who doesn’t think consistency is important is: If you have 200 different records that should all be the same but are different due to lack of consistency, which one of those records do you believe? Usually met by blank stares.

This is not even remotely what lack of consistency means in the context of distributed systems. In the context of distributed systems they are talking about transactional consistency. I.e. if you hit two servers they each return the same result at that exact moment in time. No one is arguing that the two servers are permanently inconsistent such as in your example just that they are momentarily inconsistent since in a distributed system the cost of consistency is extremely high.

Even off Amazon I feel it's becoming more and more difficult to find honest product reviews. For example, if I search on Google for "best umbrellas", every result on my front page is a website that is filled with Amazon affiliate links.

I feel like none of them can be trusted because most have never touched any of the umbrellas, but they are just doing a top 10 list and rewriting opinions they read on Amazon. Of course, they don't even consider products outside of Amazon because they wouldn't receive commission on sales. So, no one is talking about the small companies producing high quality, handmade umbrellas throughout the country, but instead every source funnels traffic to the same made in China Amazon clones.
The two issues I have are:

By having a high expense situation and constantly begging for donations, it puts wikipedia, the main venture, at risk if other wikimedia ventures don't pan out.

If it was a struggle to keep wikipedia's lights on, I'd consider donating myself, but if it's for wikimedia to expand other projects with questionable benefits, I'm not inclined, and portraying the latter as the former rubs people seriously the wrong way.

Of course pasteurization changes the flavor some, but that's also why it's still safe to drink after they ship it to you and you keep it in your fridge for a month. nothing nefarious about that, nor would I call it inferior. It's a tradeoff.

> Why not have the endpoints ship their session keys OoB to a centralized place / whatever needs to look at the traffic? Sure, there's more of them, but that shouldn't be a huge volume? (It is insignificant compared to the captured traffic.)

When you have communication between two endpoints, over your own network, transmitting session keys OoB doesn't improve the security of your systems, but does increase the complexity.

> And I am not sure if you're attempting to address this, but instead of terminating at a more edge-ish node, why not just decrypt and re-encrypt there?

Aside from adding a ton of latency and extra performance overhead, you now have a new operational endpoint that you have to trust. That doesn't fit the trust model. They key point here is the data is getting logged and then decrypted offline, by a totally separate system.
