I really think Amazon needs to fix this. I'm about two shitty products away from cancelling Prime. Their business model is "good enough products shipped really quickly without needing to think about it much". Recently, things I order aren't good enough. I find myself thinking about whether I should just drive to Target so that I can see the thing before I buy it. This seems like a problem for Amazon.
This was my hypothesis as well.

You can set the maximum speed to the max. While this doesn't directly control on-ramp flows, the cars already on the highway will be moving much faster than cars on the on-ramp due to acceleration/distance constraints. Then a jam ensues

My guess is because the people who found the Higgs boson, landed the lander on the comet, etc. are for all intents and purposes not well known: there wasn't a lot of fanfare for them so much as the discovery. As such, people are oddly upset about her getting praise for this.

I look at it two ways: one, what she did was not insignificant. Whether she received more praise than someone discovering something else that happened to be a guy, not a concern that is going to cause me to lose sleep at night nor is it something she should be punished for. Two, if her story getting bubbled up inspires girls (or anyone, I suppose) to get involved in or at least more interested in the sciences, hell, I'd say we're all better for it.

Bulk mail is significantly cheaper than retail rates. They're paying about 40% or more less than you do for each letter so it doesn't take many donations to pay for all the letters that don't net donations.

For 200+ pieces of 'marketing mail' they're only paying ~19c per letter. [0]

Right on, for a minute I was wondering if there hasn't been a leap in the efficiency of neural nets that I missed.
So you favor autocracy (and delusionally believe that dictators tend to be the sheep)?
Are you still talking about crypto exchanges?
You said specifically:

> I've definitely had several close calls in traffic, with faceId requiring me to type the password, switch back to the maps app etc, since google maps can't stay open while the phone is locked like apple maps.

You’ve had several close calls due to using your phone when you shouldn’t, putting others at risk. That sounds exactly like the definition of unsafe driving (and the strongest plausible interpretation of what you said).

> I think it's a pretty serious dark pattern when you consciously make an app unsafe for your user.

Nobody at Apple is making an app unsafe, but you are choosing to make the roads unsafe by using an app and interacting with your phone while driving.

It’s not against HN guidelines to call out incredibly unsafe behavior, even if it is the context for complaining about API differences.
In the short-term, sure.

In the long-term, that might lead to your staff being arrested for contempt of court the next time they go on vacation to Europe.
If this disturbing march towards the lowest common denominator continues, eventually Boeing may even hire you.

Interesting because in a way the Islamic faith has been dealing with the opposite problem.

During the Medieval era a lot of the most prominent scientific discoveries in Europe were done by Muslim scholars in a wide variety of fields.

However the modern radical approach to the religion has definitely resulted in many scientists having to abandon their countries and faith due to a variety of reasons.
Jason's logic is pretty poor. If winning is just a numbers game (quantity of hours > quality hours), then how can we possibly compete when our population size is a quarter of China's? Of all the consistently inane VC tweets, this one takes the cake.
> Same with youtube's recommendations. At this point over half the recommendations are almost entirely irrelevant to what I'm watching

Exactly. I had to disable YouTube Watch History and YouTube Search History [1] for it to stop "recommending" utterly irrelevant videos to the one I'm watching. It still manages to put "related" videos into the middle of search results that have nothing to do with the actual search.

The title, "Review of Test Data Indicates Conservatism for Tile Penetration" is completely ambiguous to the point of being nonsensical. It is impossible to know in which direction the author of the slides thinks we should be conservative.

Ironically the slide you point out ("Damage Results From 'Crater' Equations Show Significant Tile Damage") seems to skew our interpretation of the next slide's title and content in the wrong direction. The former slide states that "'Crater' indicates that multiple tiles would be taken down to densified layer". That sounds bad. However, it also tells us that the "program" (assuming this means the Crater model) that generated this alarming prediction was "designed to be conservative". This would seem to downplay any concern generated by this result. Furthermore we are told that "Crater reports damage for test conditions that show no damage", further casting into doubt the predictions of the model.

And then, on the next slide: "Review of Test Data Indicates Conservatism for Tile Penetration". On the previous slide the word "conservatism" was used to tell us that the results from the "Crater" model may be on the high side, i.e. showing a problem where there is none, and that the test data show a much smaller degree of damage. This slide is about test data ("Review of Test Data"). On both slides we are told that compared to test data, the Crater results are inflated: "Crater reports damage for test conditions that show no damage", and "Crater overpredicted penetration [...] significantly".

Where does this leave us? The context of this additional slide makes the presentation even more misleading than the "asshole author", to use your delightful term, thinks it is. The title is not merely ambiguous; we are explicitly nudged toward the wrong interpretation of it. I have to thank you for bringing this additional context to my attention.

The author may in fact be an asshole (though I think your language is inappropriate in context), and his analysis may lack depth (I think it does to some degree), but in the simple matter of this slide being egregiously awful he's totally right. I don't know why you'd choose this hill to die on.

It is very inconvenient, ineffective and slow. For example lists are slow as hell. And the syntax is kind of workaround - look at '[' executable for example. It definitely has its place in CS history and it made things possible in the past but using it to anything more complex nowadays is a bad, bad, ba idea!

I am glad people prefer Python or Ruby for more complicated stuff and Go, Java or compiled langages like Rust, C/C++ for performance-intensive jobs.

Perl is fast but the syntax is terribly non-intuitive and I would mark it 'do not use for new designs'.
Frankly, this sounds like terribly punishing game design. Why did so many players put up with it? Was there really nothing better?
I am not advocating taking away rights, or murdering people for their organs. If you are so quick to get angry and compare things to slavery and murder, perhaps look at why that is.

Technically you don't need to ask first, but you still need to tell Keybase directly that you support their proof integration protocol in order to be supported from their side of the connection. Not so much a "please let me in" but rather "I'm ready to rock".
Well, that’s a conveniently tautological conspiracy theory.
Under capitalism, if you want to work 70 weeks, you can. That's true. However, capitalism is about people having the freedom to make their own decisions on how they conduct their life, and the "invisible hand" that the system tends to push the economy in a positive direction.

An example would be how there is a financial incentive to not work employees over so many hours since that can decrease their efficiency. Another would be how if you have at least two firms, all other things being equal, the worker will choose to go the the one with more favorable work conditions.
Owner: "To your hammers and tongs! To your assembly lines! To your cubicles! I need more wealth and leisure time!"

As we're structured, economically and socially, corps must grow. One of the last things they have left on the table is our time beyond 40 hours.
For microorganisms it's plenty of time. Things with very short reproductive cycles can evolve quicker than humans. In https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E._coli_long-term_evolution_ex... they state that the e. coli went through 66,000 generations in 28 years. That allows for a very large amount of genetic differences to respond to environmental pressures.

"We would need to essentially rebuild our entire network in Louisville to provide the great service that Google Fiber is known for, and that's just not the right business decision for us."

That's exactly what the shareholders want to hear. Capitalism's myopic focus on "maximizing shareholder returns" will usually choose the cheaper option over doing the Right Thing.

For iterated prisoner's dilemma, you need the game to be infinitely long, meaning neither player knows when it will end. The moment either player realizes when the game is going to end, the game reverts to a regular prisoner's dilemma, and the first player to betray the other will win. The last round has no benefit for playing a Nice strategy, so you need to stab before the other player also realizes the game is going to end.
Why were poles the only other option? What about conduit underground?
> then you aren't learning from previous mistakes

???

The doubling-it is for when you build the whole component on top of a library, then discover that the library has a fatal bug you can't work around, and you have to rebuild the whole component on top of a different library, then discover that other library has another fatal bug, so now you need to include both libraries with logic around when to use which one, and then that seems to work but you add plenty of tests and documentation to make sure it works that way in prod too and not just on your dev machine.

I don't see what that has to do with learning from previous mistakes. Pretty much all but the most basic programming turns out to be like that -- dealing with unforeseeable and undocumented problems.

(The 20% is because you weren't planning for sick days, an unforeseen emergency bugfix on another project, nobody remembered about the afternoon retreat next week, etc.)

Call me uncultured but I say it should damn well stay dead. Cursive is a waste of everyone's time. It adds nothing to the language. Remembering how to do it is about as skillful as remembering all the Minecraft crafting recipes, and it is merely a historical accident that one of these is seen as a mark of education and the other a mark of immaturity.
Calacanis's stuff is so buffoonish I second-guess whether I believe he's sincere in his unquestioning adoration of capitalism.

This can only mean that MCAS is disabled even more frequently. This is a terrible idea. This is like RAID0.

The failure mode will increase greatly in complexity. MCAS might cut in and out, the plane might behave erratically.

What the need to do is add a damn switch for 'disable MCAS' and tell people how and when to use the damn thing.
"Scientists accidentally create mutant enzyme that eats plastic bottles"

You can be mostly orthodox except for one practice. Absolutism is hard.
First we have to wait for the science, then we have to wait for the establishment to deny the science, then we have to wait for the establishment to lobby against the science. In the post-truth, post-science zeitgeist, should we acquiesce to all these demands?

We got lucky with CFCs because there was a cheap alternative, so the industry didn't really push against it. We are seeing a very different outcome with climate change, and now we enter another very similar debate with microplastics.

> * If it really does turn out to be a serious problem we'll find a way to solve it.*

We can only dodge so many bullets, that is even if we can dodge the current bullet. If society can only solve problems after they become a tragedy, it just takes a slow building tragedy to end it.

Reviewed without purchase is a feature not a bug, according to amazon. People don't buy stuff that's not reviewed so they want to catch people who may have gotten it elsewhere.

It's a sign amazon is not playing in good faith.
This would be illegal in the EU under the GDPR which would require positive consent from the individuals monitored (simply walking into a space would not be enough). However, individual countries are allowed to alter this aspect of the Regulation themselves, so effectively countries may now "opt in" to the use of facial recognition in more settings. Quite different from the opt out relationship of the US States.

I'm not aware of anyone in my grandfather's generation that can speak more than one language fluently.

This has been bothering me for a long time.

Many formerly communist countries, e.g. Vietnam, have unleashed the purest form of capitalism possible, where positive feedback loops make the rich grow richer and the poor grow poorer.

No labor laws, corruption and salary ratios of 1:1000 within one company - it would be a true nightmare for the ideological socialist elite of the early 1900 to see what has become of their dream of equality.
Assuming the syntax is $name::spaces it could look like Awk borrowed something from Perl, which is a funny full circle.
I find that remote follow is only an issue this way if you've gone directly to the other party's profile rather than following them from your own instance, or when your instance is being banned for some reason by the other party's instance. It could be smoother, but this is what we get for having to defend against XSS.

The bigger problem with Mastodon is the explicit support for censorship via defederating instances you don't like.
It's not, if you think about it. People believe what they want to hear. Unverified post agreeing with the popular narrative gets immediately accepted as fact, and posts disagreeing with the narrative gets accused of being shills or damage control.

Acer to increase ultra-thin notebook promotion in Asia Pacific
I dont understand why people are so pissed. I loved coh/cov and have been waiting for a successor for many years.

NowI find out that some people have had a successor in secret, and have been acting to keep that secret because of the near certainty that it would get legally stomped. Hard.

Why should this piss me off? Because some people are luckier than I? Because they've lied to protect this secret the way I'd wang them to if I had been in on it?

Everyone talking about this says how obvious it is that people should be angry and I just feel like I'm missing something. NCsoft is the one responsible for denying the game to everyone, and if some few have been able to get around that with some effort, that doesn't make my situation worse.

I love interactive fiction (as these types of games are now denoted) then and now. In principle. There are possibilities with the text-only canvas that are not even conceivable in other media.

But really, does anyone have time for these games anymore? Playing these Infocom games is a multi-month project, with a significant amount of note-taking, manual mapping, and patience (read: replay) required. To call the "parser" interface limiting is an understatement, especially where it concerns dialog.

See https://ifdb.tads.org/viewgame?id=aearuuxv83plclpl and https://hadeanlands.com/ for modern examples. They've tremendously expanded on the old guard, both in technological terms and in creativity, and yet still suffer from the same fundamental limitations.

I don't know what the future holds for IF, but more evolution is needed before these games can compete for mindshare in the 21st century. I read a lot, but I just can't make the time for these kinds of games anymore. Not even close.
