I use a lot of in store pickup and free shipping offers from Walmart, Target, and Best Buy. Usually the prices are better too, until someone gets Amazon to price match. But I don't know why anyone would pay for Prime.

Don't you think it's silly that paying sticker price is considered paying extra?

Haggling is stupid. Cars are usually overpriced because the expectation of haggling is priced in. I'd rather Tesla put a $35K price tag on their Model 3 knowing that's exactly what I'll pay than put a $38K tag knowing that I'll try to haggle it down to $35k.

A random citizen buying a single car isn't comparable to a corporation negotiating a volume discount.
Friends and family social networking is a winner-take-all market because your friends lock you in.

Messaging for gamers a la Discord is a winner-take-all market because fellow gamers lock you in.

But from the rider perspective, there's very little lock-in for ride sharing services. Just install a new app and the car shows up.

Doesn't matter if your friends use it. There's no moat.

Ride-share lock-in is on the provider side. Can they get enough scale to cover entire cities and nations with enough cars that riders don't have to wait?

Turns out with a market this big, there's room for two or three players.
Do you think there are any current FB employees who haven't heard about the terrible things their employer does?

In the modern age, what's the statute of limitations on 'I didn't know my work was being used for evil!?'

My take is that in tech it's no longer acceptable to separate the work an employee does from the morals of their employer.

FB employees could work elsewhere doing not evil things. They look at the delta between whatever FB offers them and [insert name of non evil employer here] and shrug. "The evil is worth the extra money."

The fire could just as easily have been started by anyone. Heck, I'm pretty sure you can find similar lapses in maintenance at pretty much any company in California or the country. Any one of them could have caused the fire. Or it could just as easily started from something totally different.

I just feel like the punishment should fit the crime (failing to maintain equipment) and should be fair (apply to all companies who fail to maintain their equipment). Turning them into a scapegoat just because we're out for blood doesn't sit right with me.

Arson implies mal-intent and is a totally different thing. Not understanding the connection?
Shoes are the worst. It's next to impossible to find casual shoes without logos plastered on them like you're a sponsored athlete.
The noble gases had yet to be discovered when Mendeleev started the periodic table. Actually, the original periodic table is quite inaccurate; that it works at all is largely a coincidence that the d block has 10 elements and that the lanthanides were generally unknown (so the screwing that the f block does wouldn't crop up).

Electronic configuration is already screwed up in the periodic table more than just helium; there are several elements that don't match the expected electronic configuration, particularly in the f block. The f block itself is really annoying to actually place in the table, since there's arguments to be made as to whether La/Ac belong in the d block or if Lu/Lr move there, or if you should just cram the entire block as being a group 3 element, or if you should do something just for the lanthanides but not the actinides, etc.

The point stands... 350 engineers is an army of engineers... for $8mm monthly, it wouldn't be unreasonable to achieve 500+ engineers depending on salaries.

Lyft could definitely build and maintain their own infrastructure for this kind of money... probably do it better (customized to their needs) and cheaper.
No one is talking about the phone as a physical device. The "phone" is the multibillion-dollar industry dedicated to indiscriminately making every human spend every possible second of their day 'engaging' with media out of a simple paperclip-maximizing business imperative.

This industry doesn't need to make users happy anymore than the tobacco industry makes its own customers happy - as long as the dopamine is within arm's reach they've got most people hooked so much more than tobacco ever could. But unlike cigarettes, no one can cut open a slice of your social media lungs and show you that your mind is covered in tar. And since no one dies directly of exposure, we're left trying to convey how life could have been better without the second-order effects of using the product. If your lungs don't function with all that tar, you avoid physical activity because 'you don't like exercise' (when you can't breathe anymore). And if your brain has been trained to seek fulfillment from your phone that's because 'you like using your phone more than doing other things' (when you can't think of anything else you like to do anymore).

Yeah, Russian is far worse. I learned Polish for a while, which I understand has a lot of similarities to Russian, and it was far more difficult than German. I remember having decline words differently depending on which number came before it.
In 1799, Tipu Sultan ruler of Mysore was killed in the Fourth Anglo-Mysore war.
During the war the British had faced a new military weapon, the Mysore rocket, developed by Tipu's army.

By 1804, the British had copied and refined this weapon into a long range solid fuel rocket called
the Congreve rocket.

In the War of 1812 the British entered Washington DC and burned down the White House. The Royal Navy fired Congreve rockets at Fort McHenry which lit up the sky, illuminating the American flag flying over the fort.

Later Francis Scott Key memorializing the event in a poem that became the national anthem of the U.S.A : "The Star-Spangled Banner"

...
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still
there;
...

Next time you hear the U.S national anthem - remember that those rockets trace their origin to Tipu Sultan :)

Experienced systems person with experience in every layer from the IDE to hosting to the browser. Now focusing on Docker/Kubernetes after having spent time with the ins and outs of freelance web development. I'm now wanting to work on bigger and better things, and systems is where my natural aptitude lies. Fairly deep knowledge of Ruby on Rails, though I'm agnostic about technologies in general.

Best practices, cost-effectiveness, and complexity reduction are my guiding lights. Documentation, testing, and monitoring help me sleep at night. Automation helps take care of the rest.
If you're interested in a movie that explores similar themes of anxiety, social media, and just trying to survive middle school, I recommend Bo Burnham's film "Eighth Grade". Its average review is 90/100 on Metacritic, and is available to watch for free on Amazon Prime:

No word genders in Finnish, sorry! :-)

Also, pronouns like "these" and "those" can't be included in the word in Finnish -- however, those that indicate ownership can (i.e. my dog/s, or the genetive case* ). There's no direct equivalent of "the dog" in Finnish either, the closest being "these/those dogs" where applicable.

* For language nerds: considering the subject (that emphasizes the many declensions in Finnish), it is somewhat ironic that both "my dog" and "my dogs" is the same single word in formal Finnish. Unlike many other cases, plain genetive doesn't allow distinction between singular and plural.
I'm really struggling to imagine a world in which this is preferable. Produce is the obvious example but it's much easier to consider what all I'm purchasing and what else I need to get when I can just look in my cart at what I already have.

I mean the checkout experience might be a little better but there are so many additional variables that come into play. Like are things going to be bagged well? I walk to the grocery store so it's important to me to get a good weight distribution between bags.

Idk this just seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.
Like other sprawling corporations of the past- GE, Sony, Panasonic, IBM, etc- they can sustain losses in a space for years, maybe even decades if they think it will pay off eventually, on the strength of their other businesses. Not needing to make a profit is a powerful position to be in.
Surprisingly I've had the number of robocalls go down since I started politely answering them. I'm never rude but ask for ridiculous things like negative interest rates on my credit card. I never hear from them again whereas before I'd keep getting the same call.
I was actually pretty pleased with this as a proposal right up until Problem 8

I actually use the description of commit and the time of commit quite regularly to figure out how active a project is.

If everything but the readme and maybe a contrib folder hasn't been updated in 6 years, I have concerns. Unless the commit message on one of those, say the contrib folder, indicates that adjustments have been made because the repo I'm looking at considers its work now be a solved problem space and I can see few/no issues or pull requests then I'm backing right out and looking elsewhere for a project that might address my particular problem.

Replace that information with a commit history that doesn't indicate to me where those commits got made (ie. Was it core code changes? A spelling mistake? Where are people actively working?) and a bunch of stats that I usually don't care all that much about and which are already available if I did really want them. Now the repo landing page becomea a chore to navigate.

However literaly everything up to #8 I actually think makes a lot of sense and is a small enough deviation from what is there that users aren't going to be immediately shocked.
OP will probably pay for these with the business credit card and then deal with the personal/business split at tax time for specific kinds of expenses which are on that card. Some will be 100% business only, and some (like vehicle-related) will be split.

In Canada, the CRA wants self-employed people and business owners to keep track of their odometer readings and log all trips that are for a business purpose. They could ask for that if they audit the individual. The fraction of business use kilometers versus driven is then applied to recurring expenses like fuel and oil, and also to capital cost allowance: the yearly depreciation of the vehicle asset.

They do, but they don’t carry the mainstream versions of things: GUS soda instead of Coke/Pepsi. Cape Cod snacks instead of Doritoes.

The thing I hate is they don’t carry regular Aspirin or Tylenol, Nyquil (your usual and basic over the counter medicines) instead they carry ‘homeopathic’ whatever useless ‘natural’ ‘medicines’ & ‘supplements’
Ask HN: Any examples of non-terrible privacy policies?
An organization of which I am member just outsourced their membership, orders, and dues collection database to a cloud provider. The provider has the typically abysmal privacy policy, which includes terms such as:

- we can change our privacy policy at any time, in any way, by posting an update to our website

- we can share your personal data with any entity or individual that we work with

- we will try to keep your information secure but we don't guarantee anything

In short:

"Privacy obligations of cloud provider to users: None!"

Unfortunately, this seems pretty typical in the US. (I think things may be better in the EU.)

I would like to be able to point to commercial examples of [US] privacy policies that aren't terrible, that actually provide some kind of privacy protections for users. Have you ever read a privacy policy that makes you happy, or at least satisfied?
Yes but bullies coudln't send video of their actions to 1000 people at once and get positive feedback from 400 of them within a few minutes. Their audience was limited to whomever happened to be around, positive feedback from an even smaller group, and the verbal rumor mill which wears out quickly. The larger audience, and the anonymous group/mob encouragement is the difference...

Here bullying a teacher would get you suspended fast, and bullying outside the school could have consequences in school too (if someone reports it, and some adults would care enough).

Our experience of mega-companies over extending themselves and crumbling are from a different period. Maybe.

And not all of them crumbled. Walmart did great.

But today we have A/B testing, Platform reuse for other business line(Cloud, site, Warehouses, trucks, etc), more predictable supply chains(ML), scary marketing techniques, small flat teams augmented by powerful tools, generous funding from the stock market, etc.

Now Amazon has it all. Their competitors ? not so much.
And they may not.

I'd argue that income and wealth are two very different things. Your numbers didn't say anything about wealth, just income. Again, the plumber earns a lot but the journalist inherits wealth far beyond the earnings of the plumber. There are a lot of other things to take into account such as access to network, parental influence, ability to mingle with upper class people... Blue collar roles can out earn white collar but blue collar people can't be upper or even upper middle class as the upper classes have many effective gating mechanisms to keep them out.
You can't just eliminate that 10%. Even if going to fully bare-metal lowers costs it takes a lot of time and manpower to make that transition. When that investment can be made in other areas that have much more impact it really doesn't make sense.

Bare metal works when your workload is well-defined and understood. Then you can actually put reasonable estimates for what you need and hire/purchase infra accordingly.
How is that better? It saves you from... pushing a cart?

Not to mention, until robots can handle every variety of produce and package, isn't the real life manifestation basically going to be a sixteen year old dashing about in a mirror-store hidden in the back, tracing your footsteps, picking up the things you scan, and putting them in a cart?

Hong Kong was always an afterthought in the British Enpire. It was never important when they had India, which they actually cared about and which was gone in 1947. Hong Kong was also less important in terms of trade than Shanghai was, that’s why HSBC, the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, was headquartered in Shanghai until shortly before the communist takeover.

Hong Kong was not the logistics hub of an empire after WWII. It was the remnant of one, a place that had never been important before and wasn’t a priority to anyone in the metropole.

Capital favouring policy work great for people who live anywhere with rule of law and security of contract. If you do that you can go from bombed out war zone poverty to the first world in one lifetime, as South Korea, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong all did.

Hong Kong’s importance is on showing that industrial policy and tariffs are completely unnecessary to that process.
Beryllium has 2 electrons and 6 holes in the last shell.

Neon has 8 electrons and 0 holes in the last shell.

Helium has 2 electrons and 0 holes in the last shell.

How do you align Helium, in the 2 electrons column over Beryllium or in the 0 holes column over Neon?

[I vote for aligning it over Neon.]
sndiod is pretty nice...

Dead simple. Fixed latency that you set when you run the sound daemon. Same API with the sound daemon in or out. You can yank it out and the programs get to use the same interface for both audio and mixer. So nothing like the pointless ALSA mixing interface laying around when you run pulseaudio. It all works transparently.

Tsingtao has the highest glyphosate content of the beers tested at 48.7ppb.
That's 0.02254 mg per 16 ounces. You'd have to drink nearly 100 pints per kilogram of body weight in a day to get to the 2mg/day EPA safe limit recommendation referenced in the linked article. The article, and the US PIRG report that "1 part per trillion" of glyphosate can stimulate cancer cells but doesn't say what unit of measurement that figure is measured from.

Also consider PIRG's funding sources and biases. I'm absolutely for minimizing the use of pesticides but, this is just not it.

Thank you for voicing this concern. There is something satisfying at a deep, almost visceral level about Slack's UI/UX (whatever else you think about it's ability to search/organize information). As someone looking for alternatives, it makes the transition seem very jarring because almost nothing looks as good.

I'm trying to convince a team to go to Zulip but the design adds an extra roadblock which makes it just that much more of an uphill battle.
The article is pretty misleading.

There is no substance that is absolutely safe at any level for humans. Even water will easily kill you (over-hydration is a real risk, especially for athletes).

FTA:

> The EPA says glyphosate is safe up to 2 milligrams per kilogram of body weight per day, and Bayer, who now owns Monsanto, claims that its safety for consumption by humans has been proven by years of research. However, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer, among many others, disagrees, and considers glyphosate a potential human carcinogen.

The three claims are completely compatible, the WHO isn't disagreeing, it is simply listing as a potential carcinogen. This is actually less bad than eating salami, which is actually a known carcinogen.

Regardless of the actual safety of glyphosate, the article is journalistic crap.

And that's before we get into the actual amount of beer you'd have to drink to ingest any significant amount of glyphosate...

Aren't those pretty tightly connected?
A few reasons:

1. Potential for less waste through 1) people not avoiding ugly produce, 2) not leaving refrigerated stuff on a non-refrigerated shelf, 3) leaving freezer doors open, 4) stealing things.

2. Less congestion in the browsing section.

3. Better stock tracking.

4. Easier stock management. You don't have to have people move stock between a warehouse and a shelf.

5. And yes, you don't have to push a cart.

There are significant drawbacks too. The biggest one I can think of is that the fulfillment mechanism doesn't actually exist.
Various OSInt (open source intelligence) tools can be handy, just as they are on a pen-test.

Besides the usual stuff linked to on the site, you can look for email addresses from their domain(s), Google-dork for file extensions on their site and so on.

Often email addresses are tied to discussion forums and such, though perhaps more of that is Github these days.

One tool (forget the name at the moment) would let you look for social media posts/pics in a radius to a given location, so see what pops up nearby the office. If not from the company, might still be informative of the neighbourhood.
Yeah, I occasionally connect a linux laptop on both networks (ipforwarding OFF) with an http port open that exposes my fileserver mounted on the laptop via NFS.
