The situation currently with both stores is a bit comparible with Microsoft during the internet explorer dominance.
The only way to resolve this is by splitting up playstore and iTunes store. Too much self interest from Google and apple is destroying these ecosystems for small businesses.
>No one is a career store clerk.

I worked with several career store clerks when I worked in a store. There were 3 or 4 people I worked with who started working there when they were younger than I was at the time(19) and had been working there well into their 40's. They gave me inspiration. I knew I never ever wanted to be them.
The biggest change in my memory was the evolution from family-run business to chain store. Growing up, there were probably a dozen small markets in my home town. The next level of de-skilling was offsite butchers and scanning registers (our best local store also doesn't have scales, everything is by quantity or is pre-weighed). The next big change might well be no checkout at all.

No doubt, Safeway is going to complain about Amazon drone-delivered groceries like poor Borders bitching about Amazon (after killing off thousands of small bookstores).

Generally, I'd say that the biggest change in grocery stories happened in the 1960's, not now.

With the new ConPTY they also one of fix my last gripes about Windows. That the console sucks.

With all the changes that Microsoft is making lately I really wonder how long until Windows becomes free as in beer. With their revenue from services growing, they don't need the Windows licensing revenue as much. Making Windows free would also allow them to making Windows cloud servers cheaper. Allowing them to grow the ecosystem.

The sweet relief of being able to put my money and wallet away with no pressure from people standing six inches behind me?

I don't think I was clear; their chief complaint that technically they didn't break any rules, and that there was no warning, and that they didn't know, etc.

If you have a concrete rule to point to - especially one that's loose enough to cover most issues - then you can kick them out much more easily, especially because your co-organizers won't be stuck waffling.

Google Play has not been immune to antitrust scrutiny because Android permits sideloading. Just because you can sideload, doesn't mean you can compete with the Play Store on even ground. Sideloading has generally required selecting a scary checkbox to permit "unknown sources", it's not like just double-clicking an EXE you downloaded off the Internet.

I remember app developers getting kicked out of the Android Market back in the day (emulators for consoles, specifically) and saying they'd still work on their app as a sideloaded thing, but only a month or too later, they'd abandon it since nobody was really following them anymore.

There's a certain amount of openness on some platforms I like to call "just enough rope to hang yourself with", where they say it's an open platform that anyone can build on top of, but they control enough of the business-side aspects of to ensure you can never successfully compete on.

Legal entities are less concerned with the technical status of openness than the business reality of openness, and I doubt allowing sideloading would actually exempt them from much attention.

Isn’t it actually true that the majority of renters in the US and globally are people who can’t afford to buy, and not people with spare wealth they’re investing some other way?

I’ve heard the argument on HN before that renting and investing might be better than buying a house, and while I’m certain it’s true for a few people, I’m still a bit puzzled by the argument that if you can afford a house that rent and investing might be better. Can you elaborate a bit on when that makes financial sense?

If you can afford a house, wouldn’t buying and investing be even better than renting and investing? The problem with rent is that it’s 100% money loss, while buying is under most normal circumstances returned, usually at a profit, sometimes at a small loss, and almost never a complete loss comparable to rent.

In order for renting to make more sense than buying, you have to be able to make returns on your investment that exceed your rent plus whatever returns you’d get investing while buying a house. What I think this means is that your down payment on your house needs to be the thing than enables investment returns of an extra $1k or more above investing while renting, in other words, offset whatever rent would have been. It’s not clear to me that starting with, say, $200k more to invest, could actually yield so much bigger returns that suddenly renting makes more sense.

Is my analysis way off somehow? If so, would you be willing to outline a renting & buying scenario where investing + renting makes more money? Does it require a narrow band of income where you can afford to buy but not invest any extra?
Nothing in this article mentions anything about government regulation: it is talking about self regulation, and asking your company to consider its moral principles in the face of psychologically manipulative practices.

Yeah, it's fine for a few barcoded items. Unfortunately, my observation is that once places put in self-checkout, they really cut back on the cashiers because most people would just keep using cashiers all other things being equal. So they basically need to discourage cashier use.

Employees don't invoice you, you pay them a salary. Contractors invoice you. If your team is contractors (or you're paying them as contractors for tax/liability/whatever reason), they invoice you and, if you're in the US, you should also ask for a tax form (usually a W8 or W9) based on where their tax residency is.

There's many apps/services to handle your payroll out there. Gusto comes to mind but I've never used it so I don't know what they're like. Some accountants / CFO firms also may handle payroll for you for a fee.

But really, I don't know your situation so ask that question to an accountant. There may be critical details you're not immediately aware of; your accountant will be.

Short answer: the colors they mapped to green is actually closer to red and the color they mapped to blue is closer to green, so it would have less cyan (blue and green) and more magenta (blue and red). It would probably look a little more purple-ish.
"Smart guns" in the form of the Magna-Trigger Conversion have been available for decades:

http://gunssavelives.net/gear/smart-guns-have-been-available...

From the article:

"Magna-Trigger conversion is a custom process in which a magnetic piece is placed in the gun, preventing it from firing unless the user is also wearing a magnetic ring. Despite the simplicity in this system, it never really caught on for one simple reason. Generally people want their defensive firearms to be as simple as possible. Simple, well machined firearms make for reliable firearms."

BTW what responsible manufacturer would sell a gun that might not shoot when you need it to? That's a lawsuit-in-waiting for manufacturers. Depending on the local political beliefs, a gun that _would_ shoot under the circumstances is _also_ a lawsuit_in_waiting! So "smart guns" are a lose-lose situation for gun manufacturers.

And when a "smart gun" mechanism fails (say, due to low battery) should it allow _anyone_ to shoot it)? That's what I would want but I think others would want a gun to be disarmed under such circumstances.

Imagine being raped/robbed/killed b/c your gun has a low battery! [the Magna-Trigger system requires no batteries]
Mainly because it's somewhat of a convenience feature for which a viable workaround exists:

do a normal update, concurrently add a conditional `where ... is null` index, repeat in a loop (begin transaction, normal update, add constraint, commit) until it stops failing.

This will still take a lock, but thanks to most rows already updated and because of the conditional index, the lock will only last a very short amount of time.
My brother died at age 21 back in '93, due to organ failure brought on by his heart which had been deformed since birth. He waited in Denver's Children's Hospital on the heart transplant list for several months before dying.

A friend I knew had the top part of his heart replaced with a leatherized cadaver graft, after suffering from a massive infection under the pericardium. He died about 8 years after that.

Veins and valves and hair issues have some avenues for treatment and don't necessarily result in death.
This engine is still outstanding - after all these years - for the thrust per single chamber it achieves. May be only the RD-270 approached similar value for the parameter. Which is not the most important parameter, but not an insignificant one as well.
This is exactly right. They just lowered the barrier and hardened for wider use of point-of-sale machines. And some of the hardening is very annoying.

True automation would be something that actually saves time. It takes me longer to self-checkout than it does for a professional cashier.
The booing about the prospect of the delayed launch made me think about the bureaucrats insistence on minimizing (edit: discussion of) launch risks with the space shuttle that lead to the challenger explosion. I empathize with wanting to see it launch, but the first priority is it actually getting to orbit.
A horrible movie based on an old hollywood trope: The traditional purpose of a dog in a movie is to suffer and die. They are the vehicle for teaching kids about death, a metaphor for human suffering, or to enforce class distinctions as the dog heroically dies defending its betters. This movie just rolls that all together into a series of horrible dog deaths.

We see this flipped in pg-13 movies these days where writers, who grew up watching dogs suffer under the old rule, wouldn't dare kill off a dog (independence day, 1 and 2). So the presence of a dog in a scene now reassures the audience that all will be well. But in an R-rated movie... if I see a dog on screen I'm tempted to walk out of the theater because I know it won't end well.

Ask HN: Getting Startup Ideas
What are some best methods for getting startup ideas?
The customer does some of the work (scanning and handling the goods), and other parts are automated (payment, tallying, etc.). It's a bit like using an ATM instead of visiting the bank to withdraw cash, or pumping your own gas instead of having an attendant do it.

The end result is the same, though. Society becomes slightly more efficient, since the time I used to spend waiting for the cashier to scan my goods is now spent productively, and usually the lines get shorter, so I can get my groceries quicker, spending less time overall, even if I have to take active part in the process instead of just standing around.

I wonder about that, because I don't think there are many european countries that follow the "American rule" system where each party pays it's own fees.

In the "English rule" system the losing party pays for the legal fees so a rich person can't just arbitrarily spam law suits.

But then again, I am making a lot of assumptions here (but then again it seems like so is everyone else here) so I don't know about the exact legal details that could change things.

What I Learned on My Vacation to Westeros
In our current NLU experiments we use an off-the-shelf open source parser for the initial parse (Parsey McParseface, from Google). We then take the grammatically-tagged words and our system maps them to concepts it knows about. It theorizes about multiple possible interpretations of the sentence (pronouns in particular), judging their likelihood using real-world knowledge. A Winograd Schema can be solved because Cyc knows things about the concepts; it knows that a dog has four legs, and what it typically weighs, and that it's a mammal (and shares further traits of mammals), and knows that it couldn't interbreed with a cat because they're different species and the act of procreation requires two organisms of the same species. So far this information has been hand-encoded, but this has been going on for decades, and we have a lot now. Going past that:

1) We're able to map outside data from a DB into Cyc's knowledge format, rather than hand-encoding it. This knowledge is inherently not as rich as the rest, but it can obviously be useful anyway.

2) At some point we hope to reach a critical mass of knowledge that will allow Cyc to simply "import" a Wikipedia page by parsing and understanding it. It will interpret a given sentence into its own understanding, then assert it as true and do reasoning based on it down the line.
