Actual developers rarely see ongoing revenue from their past works. It's the business who sees the ongoing revenue, because odds are high that any individual developers have moved on with their career, and have been replaced by someone new to kick in 2-3 years of labour.
I'm a manager now, so I can get away with pushing back on some things. I always push back against a new recurring meeting, when I can. Recurring meetings are almost universally unnecessary.
I imagine it's difficult to get good numbers on ownership though as the cross section of people who would not disclose firearm ownership to the government or polling agency would also be likely to own a firearm. This is compounded by the fact that firearms last upwards of 100 years with minimal maintenance and there are healthy secondary and black markets for them.
Show me a news paper without a political bent? Centerism or balance for the sake of balance is also a political bent. The Guardian does a better job than most in reporting hard facts and news about the world.

I wonder if you apply your standard for quality to everything you read in an unbiased way?
Books are low-margin. They're not profitable enough to sell on their own most of the time.
You nailed it. Overlapping boundaries, inconsistent definitions and application of community values encourages misuse.
Ranked choice voting is superior for that purpose. Maine is trying it and it's worked well so far.
No.

The Guardian has not lied. The Guardian has accurately reported what sources said. This is what all UK print media does. Guardian is somewhat better than some other UK print media because they'll (as they did here) include the words "sources say" in the headline or sub head, or they'll include quote marks in the headline.
For some loose definition of "easily", assuming human candidates.
We'd have to poll people to really know which terms are more easily remembered.

But here's how I'm thinking of it: a test says yes or no: is the thing present or not? And right/wrong is the correctness of the test. I can't see people easily getting confused and thinking "wrong yes" means that a test correctly said that the thing is not there. Anyone would think it means that the test incorrectly said the thing is there (among all the four possible meanings we're concerned about). OTOH false and negative could each more easily mean either wrong or absent.

But I may be wrong! This is only my best proposal.
> Rather timely also since Amazon announced this week that it’s working on one day deliveries for Prime customers.

In Seattle we already have next day and same day shipping for a lot of merchandise. It drastically reduces the amount of time I spend in physical retailers.
I think quotes are quite telling! If we define "influencers" as "brand ambassadors" (i.e. sponsored) then it's clear that they are not neutral parties relaying battle-tested, peer-reviewed science results.

I'd like to believe that you can become popular on social media, and have influence, but actually have skills, experience, knowledge and actionable advice. You can even do this without being paid for it!

Anecdotally, I follow lots of woodworkers on Instagram. Most of them work hard and have skills, experience, etc. Most of them are capable of adding to my knowledge. But many of them accept sponsorship when it comes their way.

Personally, once I start to see more than (made-up number) 10% of posts flashing (and hash-tagging) products, it's time for me to unfollow. It's subtle and insidious. Suddenly I find myself thinking "I really think DeWalt is the best brand of power tools" without having a good reason to believe that. "And if I need clamps, Bessey is the only way to roll!"
You do seem a bit pessimistic and I'm not sure that your negativity is entirely warranted in the case of Indigo. The products they stock are certainly not high-end, but nor are they dollar store crap.

Most of the items are decent and some are quite nice. I've seen very nice blankets, good quality stationery and related items, board games, and the sort of mid-quality art/nerdy things that you tend to see in the gift shops of museums and art galleries.

None of it is stuff you "need" which may be causing your reaction, but if you were to buy it, you wouldn't throw (most of) it out a week later.
Nobody? There were 108 heat related deaths in the US in 2018.

A 25 day US heat wave killed 1,000 in 1980.

Heat is dangerous especially to those in sensitive groups and to say otherwise is dishonest.

Interesting ... "money is money". But what exactly is fiat currency? Some would say it is not really money.
Okay, if I grant you that, then I'll ask the followup: What examples of obfuscation do you have? And as a followup to that, why do you interpret it as obfuscation rather than an honest difference in opinion?
I think people are conflating two different magnitudes of strength improvement. You will be getting a stronger more robust body from Yoga, absolutely, but you won't see any significant increases in your ability to lift weights in the context of a weight lifting program, which is fine if that isn't your goal.

The improvements you expext from a weight training program are going from lifting 40kg off the floor to 140kg+ off the floor. So a strength trainer will disagree that Yoga helps because of course the magnitude of gain is just not in the same ballpark as a strength training program expects. You would be better off sticking to good fundamental strength training if that was your goal.
No, there is no self-designation of Proto-Indo-European speakers as "Arya".

As far as I'm aware, Arya is a term used only by the proto-Indo-Iranian tribes, which branched off from the PIE homeland much later than other branches of Indo-Europeans.
Pretty amazing he got so far with such limited resources. Obviously a born engineer.

Wish the video included some way to donate materials.
The first offense carries only up to a six month sentence. I would agree that the second offense should be punished more harshly. In that case, it is less likely to be a legitimate asylum seeker for obvious reasons, and more likely to involve other illegal activity.

I meant most cases of public drunkenness are punished by a reprimand or short arrest, not most cases of unlawful entry. Previously, most unlawful entries were punished by deportation. Obviously unlawful entry is currently being punished by imprisonment for over a year awaiting hearing, followed by deportation and no plan to ever reunite you with your family.

This seems to be technically legal, but the law surely does not require it.
Bribery doesn't seem rampant in jury service, where members are chosen by lottery. I'm sure we could find ways to keep bribery away.

Disclaimer- formidable employee and open source maintainer

Formidable does pay folks their full engineering salaries to make targeted contributions to open source during work hours. We can't afford to do a ton of this, so it mostly happens when folks are between projects. The extra $20/hour is extra. It's meant to be fun and encouraging. It's basically the "buy me a beer" license, but Formidable actually buys us a beer.
Could not agree more. There has been both a large quality drop and a big political shift to the left (no idea how replies can claim they have become more and more centrist - that was true until a few years ago but it's swung back).

They lost me as a reader sometime in 2017. Thinking about it now, the change likely coincides with this business model.
HN (and the world in general, I guess) has a tendency to focus on the successful VC outcomes and the PE failures.
Corporations and capitalism are different things. Capitalism is composed of a constant churn of organizations which are all failing at different rates. The point is that the system as a whole is not reliant upon the continual success of any of them. In a planned economy, the entire system depends on a single institution remaining competent indefinitely.
I read over that article, but where does it discuss extermination?

I see statements like this:

Professor Anthony suggests that the spread of Yamnaya culture may have been facilitated by a kind of protection racket, in which the Yamnaya warriors would offer settled communities protection from gang activity, in exchange for their vassalage.

and

Did this conquest take the form of a single, unstoppable wave? Certainly not. This was a process effected in a piecemeal fashion, over the course of millennia...

The article mentions a massive influx into the gene pool but I would think this does not rule out, say, subjugation of an existing population and interbreeding.

I think steroids are the subtext of what motivated the author to write the article.

That is something I understood only after I became adult and had kids. It is not that they don't get it. It is that they prioritize lack of visible disorder over fair resolution and don't want things to escalate to even bigger disorder.

Dealing with bullies is hard frustrating long term work. Forcing victim to be silent is easier and gets "result" faster. Moreover, they can convince themselves that they at least made victim act well behaved. It is just easier and more comfortable to blame the victim, really.
Yes, I get that, but by recognizing press freedom (free as in speech) they are providing free press (free as in beer), which rather conflates the two. By implicitly recognizing that the two are intertwined, it's a contradiction of their support of press freedom to charge the rest of the year.

The conflict would be resolved if they kept the paywall and said something like "remaining solvent is a necessary requirement for press freedom. In honer of World Press Freedom Day, we will do X instead." Where X might be something like sponsoring independent journalists in areas of the world where press freedom is much more of an issue.

I'm currently reading "Empire's Workshop" by Greg Grandin which talks about this at some length.

Apparently Ford ignored the advice of local experts to avoid blight by planting the rubber trees sufficiently far apart.

Ford instead planted them very closely in neat rows, which created a perfect environment for leaf blight.
You're misreading the article. Its subject is that because of the way IO stacks have been built CPUs are becoming the bottleneck in IO, this is an issue for both network and non-volatile storage IO e.g.

> a 40 GbE NIC can receive a cache line sized packet every 5 ns, but the last level cache (LLC) access latency is already up to 15 ns, which means a single LLC access can already prevent the OS from keeping up with arriving packets

and

> NVMe SSDs perform I/O faster than the OS can accept new (asynchronous) I/O requests and notify their completion.

They also note e.g. that while nvme provides for 65k command queues OS generally have one IO queue per CPU.
> that can be used without refining

It has to first be separated from the rest of the actinide waste, which is very challenging, as they're chemically similar elements. Previously this had to be done with a centrifuge (separating by mass), but a lot of research effort has gone into developing more practical chemical refining methods.

>> It takes as much as 10 kilos of plants to produce a kilo of meat, so if you respect plant life the best thing you can do is stop wasting it feeding it to animals you intend to eat.

I do value and respect all life, but I don't think that means I shouldn't eat it. Your comment was the one that made that point.

Rather than watching a video I can't converse with I would prefer it if you explained to me yourself why it's OK to eat one kind of life one respects and values, i.e. plants, but not another, i.e. animals.

I mean, I would welcome an explanation.
£1200 per day? The max day rate for web development I have seen in London was £650/day but normally £550/day. You can also easily earn £90k as a perm in London.
This is exactly why I am no longer a Prime subscriber. I rarely order from Amazon anymore because they deliberately delay shipping because I am not on Prime, and I can order from ebay or Walmart and get my stuff within 2-3 days usually, for the same price or less. Prime has a few shows I might watch, but it filtering what I can and can't watch free with Prime is impossible (or at least was the last time I had it). Netflix has a lot more interesting content to me, and I don't have to worry about ads for paid content in my search results.
No strength training is specifically hypertrophy where your body creates new cells.

You are more like doing endurance training which make cells for ADP/ATP.

And you likely aren't doing it like a perscription where they target the weaknesses. Rather general.

In the context of the original post, it is clear why I mentioned yoga in that list.
I was curious about the parenthetical "early" in your comment. Is this optimization no longer the case then? Could you elaborate on recent developments regarding this? I've been out of the NoSQL loop for some time and am genuinely curious.
I've developed and sold several libraries over the years. Here's how I approached pricing. I'm not saying this is the best way, but it has worked for me.

I don't really do ongoing payment (rental) schemes, out of pure personal preference. (If a customer asks for one, I can do that, though -- it's just not a default option). I don't like it when other software does this, so I'm not going to do it myself. That's not an economic or business-based decision and not a recommendation. I'm just mentioning it to explain why that's absent here.

I take a look at what my development costs were to develop the library, and use that to estimate what it would cost another shop to replicate the same functionality. I try to subtract out the portion of the development costs that are reflect the API design and other things that are unique to library development (including documentation).

Then, once I have an estimate for what it would cost my potential customers to develop the functionality, I cut that in half, and that becomes my asking price.

I also sell libraries in two forms: with source code and without. For those who want the source code (which is most of my customers), I charge double what the asking price I computed above is.

Could you succinctly describe (roughly) how to do language translation or grammar checking under such a system? I can’t grasp it...
in a two-party election, we're often only given options A and G, or maybe B and F, but rarely C through E.

This is the exact opposite of what economic theory predicts and my (admittedly biased) personal observations. Consider for example Hoetelling's Law, which states that competitors naturally tend to become as similar as possible in order to extract as much value from the competition as possible: https://www.uh.edu/engines/epi2692.htm

The advantage of systems other than the two party system is precisely that they allow more diverse view points to be represented.

In my case the work I did at home eventually turned into my company which now has all of the things you're describing to better leverage it. But it all started with high leverage work that I did all by myself.
I get that. I work ten hours a week or so for free on my open source passion projects. If that turned in to an extra $200 a week that would be cool - I’m doing the work anyway.

Methane converts to CO2 on its own. That's why it receives less attention than carbon dioxide, even though it absorbs more infrared energy. The CO2 lasts effectively forever, and is more important for the long term change in the climate.

It would be less-bad for the climate overall if we didn't get the extra temporary energy bump from methane, and it were "only" carbon dioxide directly. But no, there's no way to do that efficiently. The methane stores are spread over many thousands of square miles. It's just to diffuse to operate on directly.
And of course, the more of them we have around, the better the chances that one of them will somehow accidentally get misused one day.

Oh, sorry; I'm sure you're entirely careful and responsible, all the time, just like every other firearms buyer. So there's clearly no problem with having an ever-increasing number of them around.
No, it is not. Normalization is an artefact of Relational Algebra (a set theory being applied to tabular data). It has nothing to do with concrete implementations and their concerns (such as IO). http://wiki.c2.com/?RelationalModel.

Moreover, ALL existing relational databases do denormalize data behind the scenes (think about caches and indexes) for the sake of IO optimization, which means that normalization does not achieve the IO optimization goal by itself (otherwise, why bother?)
As will be clear in a moment, I'm hardly anti-gun but certainly not "pro-gun", and I count five in the gun safe. Shotgun, rifle, and a couple of handguns adds up quickly. Why so many for a "not pro-gun" guy? Shotgun/rifle/handgun fill different categories, and we have several handguns because I like Glocks, the Colt 1991 custom is purdy, and she likes her .357 short barrel.

I think is super weird that databases can have developer-hostile designs like this and still be considered "world class". If a web all framework had pitfalls like these, people would rageblog them into oblivion. I'm not trying to single out postgres because I have the impression that the same holds for all databases over some age.

I mean, most of this article reads as a list of features postgres never should've had. If PHP can deprecate magic quotes, then why can't postgres do something similar? Why do the "string data type" docs contain anything other than the "text" type, outside a section titled "deprecated, do not use"? Why isn't there a strict mode that warns me when I'm trying to use Bad Ideas From The Nineties?

I'd say they were (Blairite) New Labour which is slightly left than the Lib Dems. The newer Corbynite Labour supporters don't like the Guardian because the newspaper has negative coverage of their figurehead from time to time.
You can argue that the ACA improved the healthcare system overall. But it's been tough for people who were already covered by employer insurance.

I think people fail to appreciate that prior to the ACA, when the healthcare system worked, it actually worked really well. I got very sick at the age of 20 while I was still on my parents very modest insurance (pre-ACA). Within 48 hours I had an appointment at the best oncology hospital within 500 miles, and I was able to get scans, tests, etc on a very short turnarounds. Ultimately I had two major surgeries in 4 months, and the whole thing probably cost the insurance company a couple hundred thousand dollars. Since my parents had already hit their out-of-pocket maximum, the marginal cost to us was 0.

Now, the "when it worked" caveat is a big one. The story would be very different if my parents didn't have insurance at all or if I hadn't been eligible to be on it. But the same story today on my insurance would cost me a lot more money out of pocket due to a much higher deductible and a higher out-of-pocket maximum.

My perspective is that the ACA made things significantly better for a small group and modestly worse for most people. I'm open to moral arguments that the tradeoff was worth it (although that's not what I believe.) But I dislike rhetoric that pretends there's no tradeoff at all.

Edit: Added substance to a one-liner.
