Smart move. Whole Foods has a limited appeal. It's not just price - sometimes people want to buy Cheetos or pizza rolls that don't taste like cardboard.

Slightly related thought: Why not design a store which allows instant fulfillment from a wide selection of goods while taking up less ground level space? I could see an Amazon/Walmart/etc store where you reserve the shelf space for presentation, but the goods are actually stored on higher floors and delivered to the customer upon checkout? Real-estate is a premium in many markets and probably keeps out super-center style stores. If you could build up, without having to extend retail niceties to all floors, you might make the costs work.

Maybe an obvious answer, but Game of Thrones and The Expanse are both adaptations of an existing novel series and hence implicitly had multi-year arcs set out for them. I'm told GoT has outrun the novels by now so they're in the same mess as everyone else, but at least in part, they had pre-planned arcs.
I do see native speakers string together noun phrases like that, with the spakes. e.g. "Fast downvote suppression throttler".

A better solution might be to not attempt to replicate the criminal justice system, but possibly to classify this more like a traffic infraction. Only there should never be a monetary cost, it should be a community service one for both the child and the parent.

It impresses me that the hate for systemd persists even after so much time has passed. I thought it was just inertia.

I see systemd as a framework to define and control services that is much more robust than the old system that relied on scripting conventions. Why the hate? What's people's ideal here?

This is something I've been wondering about. Porting from C to Rust one function at a time sounds nice, but presumably the end result would be a Rust program with an identical program structure to the original C, which as a result doesn't take very much advantage of Rust's features. Is the goal to port all the way to Rust and then refactor to actually make the code Rust-ish?

> It isn't particularly helpful that economics as a discipline seems to have the same predictive value as soothsayers and court jesters().

Much as I like to point out that microeconomics has a way better record than macroeconomics, it’s akso easier because we have much, much more data.

You’re still wrong about macroeconomics though.

If you increase the money supply you’ll get inflation. If you increase it a lot you’ll get hyperinflation. If you surprise people with unexpectedly higher inflation you’ll get a boom. As people realise inflation is higher than expected you’ll get a recession.

If you raise taxes unexpectedly people will spend less, not just because they have less money, but because they realise they’ll have less money than they expected over the course of their whole lives, they’re poorer.

Saying macroeconomists don’t know anything because politicians do what they want and find a convenient economist to justify it later is like saying no one knows anything in computer science because JavaScript frameworks change every two years.
> The trouble is their employees don't seem particularly bothered by the evil they do every day. if they did, they'd leave.

What does this have to do with employees? This is the leadership of the company that is morally corrupt. Most people at the ground level is going to see just a small piece of the picture without realising how everything adds together.

Concerned employees leaving a company makes it worse, not better.

Employees are paid at market value. Employees do not profit directly from these tactics. Ask Activision-Blizzard employees fired a year of increasing profits and morally dubious micro-transactions in their games.

Better regulations and enforcing them is what the industry needs. You need to remove bad incentives for the people at the top. Corporations should be held accountable for the pains that they inflict.

I didn't see this posted elsewhere. Before researching a company or role I try to note down what I want. As I research, or talk to different folks about roles, my perspective can sometimes change. It's good to be able to come back to your core reasons for investigating the role.

Once you've done the research try to map out the possible trajectories for you from that point (if the company is acquired by market leader that you hate, if they turn out to not be some happy with remote work, etc.) This doesn't take long, but feel like I've seen so many people in my almost 20 years of work life leave me thinking "that was obvious" after a sad conversation.

>I would never make an everyday purchase with Bitcoin.

I used to think the same, but there is a coffee / snack shop nearby that accepts bitcoin/bcash/ethereum, and offers $1 off if you pay with it. A surprising number of people pay via cryptocurrency.

For a small purchase like that, cryptocurrency is perfect. Amounts are small enough that you don't need to wait for blockchain confirmations, risk is low. Credit card fees are high in-part because they are providing that fraud protection. For a purchase like this, both the merchant and I save money by not having to worry about transaction reversals and fraud.
Why should the federal government be holding on to so much forestland? Private owners would be greatly incentivized to keep the forest productive.

BSG borrowed the idea of having a coherent story arc, but they didn't plan it out ahead of time. Ronald D. Moore had a podcast of commentary tracks for each episode and openly admitted they were winging it the whole time. What BSG did right was to get all the small things right--get a bunch of really, really good actors, make everything look as naturalistic as possible, and let characterization rather than plotting or abstract concepts drive most of the storytelling.

They still need a way to (efficiently) distribute resources.

So they cannot be censored, sure. But can they not be probable cause for a temporary tap on their internet connection? And if that reveals stuff like https connections to unpopular sites whose content can't be viewed publicly, Tor traffic, maybe torrent traffic, then that might be suspicious enough to bust the door while the connections are going on.

I'm against dragnet surveillance and all, but comments that are clearly predatory is a red enough flag that even I start to think it warranted to escalate step by step, and continue depending on what is found in each step.

Of course, this entirely depends on whether the comments are "oh look at that sweetie, probably has a nice puss" or just "oh look at that sweetie" interpreted the wrong way. I'm on the second page of HN comments and read three linked articles about it, and nobody mentioned what it's all about other than "predatory comments on videos involving minors".

Edit: As expected, Dutch news coverage is more explicit than prudish American. Example comment is: "$time $camel_emoji toe... Then again at $time". Another example: "Hi honey baby where r u from??". Last example is just "Love you" with a bunch of emojis like hearts and presents. Another website mentions the kids were called "godess" or "barbie". This sounds like it would be extraordinarily easy to just build a blacklist of words that trigger new comments to land in a moderation queue (processed either by youtube itself or by the video owner)... not sure what the difficulty is exactly. It seems harder to detect kids in videos than to build a blacklist of these comments, except that the former can be automated and the latter is ongoing moderation (probably too simple for Google: "if you can't automate it, it can never scale, so it can never be a solution").

Mythic-ai | Senior Deep Learning Compiler Engineer | C++ | Austin, TX or Redwood City, CA | Full-time

Mythic's platform delivers the power of desktop GPU in a single low-power chip, supporting inference for large deep neural networks. Mythic's technology is based upon an entirely new hybrid digital/analog flash calculation using 8-bit non-volatile memory arrays which has been under development since 2012. This step change in performance brings in a range of new applications in a broad array of verticals, including safety and security, autonomous vehicles, VR/AR, robotics and media.

We are looking for engineers with very strong programming and mathematical problem solving skills. Applicants do not need to have an AI background but do need to demonstrate capabilities for robust software development practices and an ability for creating solutions for challenging technical problems. We are solving some unique problems that don't fit into a specific category so we are searching for smart engineers from diverse backgrounds!

I'm personally a software engineer on the compiler team, but Mythic also has a number of roles available, from analog compute to future-gen deep learning research.

The Senior Software Engineer role can be found at https://jobs.lever.co/mythic-ai.com/7ceeb85f-49dd-49fe-85ea-...

You haven't used team chat for work? Then, things tend to happen chronologically, like, step by step problem solving, or doing something together. In such situations, it can be more important to find the most recent comments, than to find any "best" comments.

It's about what matters most: Knowing what's happening right now, what everyone is doing, what one is supposed to do next. Then, chronological team chat. Versus finding the best comments, e.g. when discussing a news article, or pro and cons about an idea.

We were using Slack at my last job, and it was great (now I don't like Slack any longer though, not after they added their weird threading. I like Zulip instead). Slack & Zulip = good sometimes, HN = good for other things.

Looks less cool than NAS though, maybe that's the reason.

Majority of businesses aren't running insane computations at huge scales...

Most are running a few small internal-facing servers hosting some internally developed apps, and need very little resources.

Just run ESXi, XenServer, Xen or something, and spin up a few VM's on a few thousand dollars of hardware, get a couple people to maintain it, and be done.

Even at large scales, like Lyft, having your own internal team and hardware is going to save money. Amazon is profiting off your instances... which leaves room for you to do it for less. Maybe not $7mm less monthly, but even a $1mm savings is significant... but likely a lot more.

>You’ve possibly read or been told all the original CGI files were lost . . . . Well, no, they haven’t – though some may be lost by this point while others are buried pretty deep - plenty do still exist. For the best part of 10 years I’ve been sitting on a whole pile of Lightwave 3D models and scene files which someone who will remain nameless arranged for me to receive. Those are frame for frame renders of the original shots - using the original models and textures which haven't been updated in any way other than rendered out at 1920x1080.

Why does electronic configuration put it above Beryllium? Helium has a full first shell of electrons, and other noble gases have their subsequent shells filled with electrons, this is why they all have their property of being more or less inert. The reactive trends of noble gases aren't "emperically derived" as you say but as a result of being extremely energetically stable due to having full electron orbital shells.

EDIT: Perhaps I misunderstood and you meant that its initial placement was due to empirical data. But for good theoretical reason it has remained where it is IMO.

I'm actually cautiously optomistic for some stores. For example, I still go to Target since I want to see clothes before I buy them. And their store card gives you free 2 day shipping with no BS "membership fee".

> Does anyone here ever think about alternative economic systems similar to getting rid of money, like what the Federation does on Star Trek?

To be fair, even the creators of Star Trek didn't think much about that, weren't consistent about it, and avoided any exploration of it beyond platitudes.

Also, one of the key assumptions of classical economics that actually seems to hold up to reality (unlike much of the underpinning of the rational actor model) is the concept of unlimited wants, which makes post-scarcity impossible with finite resources.

> Why hasn't an online group (similar to a utopia) formed where members contribute a portion of their incomes and receive a UBI?

Because an opt-in voluntary UBI-providing community faces strong adverse selection issues, and anyone willing to do the effort to set one up will probably think it through long enough to realize that is a fatal flaw.

> A single unicorn could pay everyone to work on unrelated projects and solve real global problems.

If by “unicorn” you mean “succesful venture-backed startup”, there's a fairly obvious reason they don't tend to toss money around on social benefit efforts with no ROI for the firm.

If you mean a literal mythical magical beast, there are other reasons that hasn't materialized.
