What you describe sounds like more of a data modeling/integrity concern
than a data consistency concern.

A better example of a data consistency requirement is a SINGLE record
that should be the same when 200 different users read it at the same
time, e.g. the current price of a stock. I'd prefer that a user not be
able to see a stock's price at all rather than show them the wrong
price.

Contrast this with a record that does not need to be the same for all
users at the same time, such as a list of users that liked a blog post.
Given the choice, I'd prefer that my post is available for anyone that
wants to read it rather than sacrificing availability to ensure that the
list of users that liked the post is totally up-to-date.
perhaps the publicity of the lawsuit will discourage others from this stupid and dangerous thing.
It would be nice if grocery stores had a more descriptive/accessible way of searching for and buying items online.
Choosing a recipe, then getting a list of required ingredients - perhaps even delivered automatically to your door - seems like a much more environmentally friendly and practical solution compared to these meal kits.
Where I live, I've never heard of ISP's doing this. Actually, they have been nothing but good so far. It might help that 1Gbit is a commodity here. You can't really get anything slower than 500Mbit. There's also enough competition to force them to innovate.

I don't neccesarily trust them, but they haven't done anything "evil" or questionable yet.
Thats awesome! The debit card solution and 501(c)3 eligibility that hack club presents is genius and so often overlooked in fledgling youth sports and organizations. I hope that ground.work can find a way for fringe sports and teams to also get their organization finances in order as many sports businesses tend to focus only on the main priority sports.

I was going to say that I don't mind and I'm happy to donate whatever I donate every year. But then went and looked up information on their budget - it's quite surprising that they spend as much as they do and it's not very clear on how they spend it and also plans on how they are going to contain the spend. I don't mind Wikimedia having a fat balance sheet and at least a few years worth of reserve but the growth of expenditure to match the donations is concerning. I'm worried they have fallen into the usual trap every startup that's well-funded fall into - assuming that the money they have will somehow magically last forever or that they can get more funding with their aggressive tactics.
Contrarily to the negative sentiment expressed so far in the comments, I find branding an important question:

If a foundation does good work, you’d want the foundation to receive more money to do more good work.

For example, Wikipedia would benefit from many more tech investments, for example in the excellent wiki data and wikimedia research initiatives; or think of wiki vandalism and fake news.

It’s well known in the non-profit world (and intuitive) that spending money in marketing does indeed help achieve larger goals in terms of deployed funding.

Beyond funding, the fact that people (hacker news is not a representative sample) don’t recognize Wikimedia and the fact that it’s responsible for something that is used daily is a problem. It detracts from the project and removes visibility.

Edit: made it more readable
Please send them to me. My "farmers markets" here are just selling the same boxes of produce the grocery store gets.
Yes, they really will. If you oppose this initiative, you start running ads:

"Your legislator wants to let a computer overrule judges and juries and put criminals back on the streets. Call your legislator now to tell them you oppose HB-555."

There's enough truth there, that explaining it away takes far too much effort, and in politics, if you're explaining, you're losing. If you don't think this is how this kind of thing works, you haven't been paying attention.
It looks like textbook empire-building to me.

Something non-profits successful at fundraising strike me as especially fertile land for.
The same way you can never taste the taste of a real Camembert in the US...
I don't necessarily need to eat something different every day, which is what these Meal Kits provide (i.e. variety in cooking).

I actually think meal kits for bulk meal prep would be more interesting. Meal prep has become a "thing" especially for those with some fitness goal - and getting a shipment that allows you bulk prepare 1-2 weeks worth of 1-2 dishes for lunch and/or dinner that fits a particular diet or fitness goal would be a lot more interesting to me (e.g. for weight loss, keto, bulking up, marathon training, etc.)

I have also tried various programs, and not only do I find the quality of the food to be an issue, but the menu and variety of food is really lacking. Even with little to no dietary restrictions, I often found that by week 3, meals started to feel the same and there was a lack of variety.

I've kept the recipes that I really liked and just buy the ingredients myself at my local grocery store, no sense in paying for the food to be delivered at this point.

You know how much money Google is wasting? Their main source is still ads from their websites. They could lay off all of their staff that's not working on the search or ad parts and put that money into dividends instead. But instead they are using lot of money that belongs to the stakeholders on this giant project of finding a new thing that's similarly profitable as search.

I definitely agree that WMF has definitely enough money, and maybe the money is not used in the best way. But others do it at much larger scales while WMF is getting most of the heat.
To clarify: it is absolutely necessary, at least for our current toolkit, to rob someones freedom in exchange for the safety of others. But that should come at a very high cost to the punisher: that is society in general as well. Whereas today, it is common to curse someone to "rot in prison" or to suffer torture at the hands of the state, the police or other inmates. That vengeance is not sated because freedom is not valued highly.
Just wait until these people discover that these "recipes" are available in things called "cookbooks" that they can purchase without subscribing to a meal service.
Of course.

You pay your admin $18/hr and pay a programmer $50. People tend to assume their place.

It's interesting that they don't pose the same questions for other races.

I'd venture to say a bad thing like crime is always going to be overperceived in occurrence compared to what it actually is.

Unfortunately, for some crimes, like robbing people at gunpoint, the reality seems to come dangerously close to the overperception.
This sort of thing is a good reminder of just how shallow our knowledge of the world often is. There's often this perception that we know so much, but in reality our ignorance is not just vast but also readily at hand. Bees are the core of a multi-billion dollar industry in the developed world, and yet for decades we knew very little about one of the most important aspects of beekeeping (varoa mites).

Also, this is a reminder of the degree to which the modern world is utterly dependent on science and technology and yet at the same time vastly under-invests in critical research. Half a dozen people cracked this mystery. Imagine how much progress we could make if we had better funding for science and research across the board.
I would love to get a design that works straight away in even just 1 language. Usually I get one that completely falls apart once you add in things like validation messaging or other dynamic elements.

What I would really like to know is what is the rate of criminality within the CA police force vs the public. Because 12,000 in a 10 year period is a LOT of felons that have worn or still wear a badge.

From what I can find, the US average for all adult residents is about 8.6% (about 1 in 12). For officers in CA, I found estimates of 90,000 to 100,000 on several sites. However, a survey of specific cities seems to indicate roughly 15 officers per 10,000 residents (http://www.governing.com/gov-data/safety-justice/law-enforce...). CA has about 40 million residents, which would be about 60,000 officers.

Going with the 60,000 number, that's 20%! If we go with the higher estimate of 100,000 officers, that's still 12%! And don't forget - the 8.6% US average number is for anyone who has a felony record - meaning it covers their entire adult life, not just the past 10 years. That makes the officer numbers even worse! From what I can gather, the rate of criminality for officers (at least in CA) as far, far above the average for everyone else.

I quit Blue Apron for a few reasons.

1. My plastic trash output doubled overnight when I signed up.
2. Excessive amounts of carrots and other "cheap, but filling" substances.
3. My life doesn't need another subscription service to think about and manage.
4. Going to the store once a week isn't that much of a hassle, the food quality is higher, and it's cheaper.

Edit: The variety was nice though. Trying something different every time was an adventure, though most nights I wasn't feeling adventurous. Most nights, I didn't really feel like cooking something I may or may not like.
I looked back at a review I wrote a little less than a month ago and I still have the option to edit it, so yeah I suppose you could.

Banks have supported consumer-level API's since the 1990's. At first they were specific to Intuit Quicken and Microsoft Money but now they have moved to OFX (Open Financial eXchange).

A partial list of banks that support OFX is here: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/OFX_Direct_Connect_Bank_Settin....

For your own bank, look to see if they support import into Intuit Quicken or Microsoft Money. If they do, you can probably access the API directly yourself.

Note, you may have to pay a service fee to access the API. This will vary depending on the bank.

Yes, but not yours.

That is: when the Acme Widget Factory buys Jake's Improved Widget-Making Tool(TM), it's Jake's employees' labor that made that tool, not Acme's. It is therefore Jake's employees who deserve to be rewarded for creating the automation, not Acme's.

That's why I said "not yours" - not specifically you, crdoconnor, but the labor of the company that buys automation did not build that automation. They still should be rewarded for the the increased productivity that comes from knowing how to use it, but they didn't build it.

And when I said "they still should be rewarded", that doesn't mean that they get all the benefits from the increased productivity. The tool maker has to be rewarded, too, or there won't be many tools to improve productivity. And the capitalists who bought the tool have to be rewarded, too, or there won't be many such tools bought.
I've tried 3 services now, and what they all seem to not get is that they are not selling food. I can get food in the local supermarket. They are selling convenience and peace of mind.
Whats the difference? The difference is that if you screw up my order 2-3 times, then I will quit your service and never look back. Sure you deliver food to my door most the time, but you are not providing convenience and peace of mind.

I have never had the issue where going to the supermarket to shop for dinner unknowingly left me without crucial ingredients or return boxes crowding my driveway. I have never had the issue where a supermarket sneaks shellfish into my order even though I am allergic and explicitly did not want shellfish when I entered the supermarket.
The tolerances on these services are just much much harder than a brick and mortar store and it feels like none of them take it seriously at all. You need to provide near 98% for every single customer or they eventually drop off as they lose patience with you and switch service, and after a couple they just don't want to bother any more.
An interesting challenge might be the computational cost of conversion to the "standard" reference given a speed near c. If a single CPU tick takes a "standard year" to compute how do you do you account for all ticks in your calculation?Is it possible to get to a sub-year standard time resolution in that scenario?
If you took one look at the forums for resellers / manufacturers, they'd laugh at the idea Amazon cares about them at all.

This, generally, makes the world a better place to live in, as long as you don't engage in predatory behavior.

Your trust is misplaced. Wikipedia editors (unpaid) generate their income from other things than money, be it a sense of accomplishment, altruism or agenda setting. Most articles on everything except science is tainted by bias. Wikipedia is no replacement for the classic lexicon in terms of redactional quality.
Yet US prisons do solitary confinement. It is estimated that 4% of inmates are wrongfully convicted(innocent, at least of the crime accused). Inmates have diminished capacity of communication, consumption, safety. There are a disproportionate populations in prison to respect to crimes actually committed.

Your indignation is just because you value freedom very lowly. It is true that another man's freedom is so worthless to oneself that it doesn't sate your thirst for vengeance.

I can sympathize with your situation but I have to ask: where are your friends/family in all this? You don’t have any support system at all? I realize it’s possible but I want to understand how you ended up in your present situation.

My next comment is you are in the wrong industry if something like this scares you. You have the wrong attitude. Instead of lamenting about a new tech replacing your current skills, you should be asking yourself, how can I learn this new technology and put it to work for me?

Some people may say someone in your position has more important things to worry about and I would agree. Get yourself the first job you can find (tech related or not) and get your basic needs in order. Then invest your time in learning a tech with some staying power.

Jumping from short lived and volatile coding jobs isn’t a long term solution.
This is much discussed on gun sites. If you shot someone trying to steal your car, in some states you would probably not even be charged, while in others you'd go to prison. An intro for Texas.[1]

See my sibling comment to your post: The problem is exactly that it is just a mounted filesystem on which you can run programs. A container should not be described by a Dockerfile which is basically a glorified shell script with a caching layer on-top (and no concept of cache invalidation), but by a dependency file for a proper package manager.

Docker is my go-to example for worse-is-worse, because of that. They have solved only the easy problems and gotten a phenomenally approachable UI as a result (everyone who has used the console to install dependencies can write their own Dockerfile). But in the process they have occupied the niche in which a better packaging solution could have evolved and grabbed all the mindshare with enormous marketing effort (aided by an easy-to-use product).

I'm not sure I understand: why can't they record the decrypted traffic instead? (I assume they have it plain text at some point). Of course they could encrypt it again before sending it to their audit server

Completely agree. I found with work projects that often, it's client side libraries it flags up with e.g. a regular expression denial of service vulnerability in it that needs some crazy specific conditions to be met for user input to reach the part of the library that eventually uses it in a regex.
the janitors at my office don't get paid enough, and don't get valued enough. AFAIK, we contract out our janitorial work, so that we don't have to pay benefits, etc. it's shameful.

> Janitorial work always has been under-appreciated. But cleaning up shit tends not to be high skill work.

the latter is a non-sequitur, IMO. work that causes that sort of personal injury should be well compensated, regardless of the skill level. it takes a lot of a person. we should try our best to make that person whole again, or to not take so much from them.
Autodesk Launches AI for Construction
Also "industry standard" in this industry means "lowest-common-denominator garbage, for which you can find a lot of cheap programmers".
the main thing that meal kit services did for me was automate shopping and variety. Now I use a non-kit shopping list/recipe service that lets me pick from a recipe list at the beginning of the week and puts a shopping list together for me, and shop once a week. We have very little food waste (compared to shopping for ingredients then needing to fit them into a recipe) and it's very time-efficient (compared to choosing recipes and manually compiling a shopping list from recipes in a cookbook).
>once you know a little you see quickly that going shopping is not that hard

Planning meals is still a somewhat significant cognitive load. I think that's the value proposition here. Getting a bunch of single meal portions is convenient, but not really any better than getting groceries delivered. It's not having to go through the process of finding recipes and then generating a shopping list that's the killer feature.

I think the ideal thing is the ability to click and say I want to make these four meals this week. It adds a list of perishables (meat, veggies, etc.) to my cart and a spits out a list of staples (spices, flour, soy sauce, etc.) for me to check to see if I have. Then I either have it delivered or it can print me out a shopping list.
Nice question, ambivalents, and thanks for the recommendation, yesenadam. Very cool. I just started watching the first video of Sapolsky's lecture and found it to instantly capture my attention. I'm going to stick to this series. By the way, studying Sapolsky could also help with the forum question recently in Ask: HN about explaining things well to people.

His lectures look like a neat place to get a deep anthropological grip on things.
I have an idea how to solve problem with outdated images. What about building service, then will automatically rebuilds your image, when there is a update base image and automatically publish it to docker hub (or private hub). What do you guys think? Is there any interest in such a thing?
It's apparently not that hard to grow in a hydroponic setup, it needs flowing water though. wonder why no one has done that.
Does the group of people who meal prep line up with those that don't want to think about meal prep? One of the benefits of these meal prep kits is that you end up with a freshly cooked meal. If you are going to be eating a prepared meal, why not just let the service send it fully ready to go?
Not the same as going for a jog. I had been regularly exercising intensely for 10 years prior to that. It's not the same effect. To understand the longer term or scientific viewpoint, there is an abundance of research on the benefits of caloric restriction. Just Google it (on http://scholar.google.com/).
